It's now the new law you must say "I'M GOING TO REMAIN SILENT" if a police officer ask you to talk to him, even if you're not under arrest. There's no law that requires you to talk to a police officer, but you must say "I'M GOING TO REMAIN SILENT" and then shut up!

Four young ladies went for a quick bite to eat in Marshfield Missouri at a local Walmart. Two of them were open carrying not knowing they would be confronted by a Nazi-styled "show-me-your-papers" local police officer.

Of course, they bring out the big guns for these gun-toting "thugs."

To contact the Marshfield MO Walmart and express your concern (outrage) that they don't allow their customers to be armed, but rather defenseless, the Manager is Timothy Slavens and the number is (417) 468-6116. For those in the area, the address is: 14740 State Hwy #38 Marshfield, MO 65706

It is posted as a reminder that there are those it WITHIN that field who, by disregarding the "unalienable rights" of the people, bring the discredit.

aron Tatkowski says he spent Sunday with his family, and when he returned home, he noticed his daughter-in-law had been pulled over by a Washington Township Police officer.

The police report states Cassandra Meyers was cited for a license plate violation. Tatkowski says he didn’t like the way the officer was talking to Meyers, so he questioned the officer about his behavior.

“He hollered for me to get back in my truck, so I got back in my truck,” Tatkowski said. “Next thing you know, I’m yanked out of the truck and it made my girlfriend say a few things.

He yanked her out of the truck.” Tatkowski says the officer threw him, his girlfriend, his daughter-in-law, and 14-year-old son to the ground.

The police report says commands were not listened to, so Officer Hart got out his taser and handgun. Tatkowski says he complied with Hart, but worried for his two granddaughters, who were still in his truck, so he asked witnesses to start recording what was happening.

Police shut down chess games on Market Street | City Insider | an SFGate.com blog


It may finally be “checkmate” for the chess players of Market Street.

For more than 30 years, chess games have been a staple in the Mid-Market neighborhood. But earlier this month, the San Francisco Police Department confiscated the playing equipment, chairs and tables where dozens of people, mostly homeless, would gather every day to play between Fifth and Sixth streets.

Police said regular chess players aren’t the problem. They said the area has become a hotbed for illegal gambling and drug use.

“It’s turned into a big public nuisance,” said Capt. Michael Redmond, contending complaints from nearby businesses and arrests for sale and possession of narcotics have increased over the past six months. “I think maybe it’s a disguise for some other things that are going on.”

On Monday afternoon, the only sign of street chess that could be found was at the feet of Marvin Boykins, 57. Across from his latex chess board, a friend moved chess pieces at the command of a smartphone computer game set at the grandmaster level, which Boykins refused to listen to after it warned him that he’d made a bad move.

“I’ve been playing since I was 7 or 8 years old,” said Boykins, one of the original homeless street chess players who charges people a dollar or two to play. “Chess is a true San Francisco tradition.”

His friend, Hector Torres Jr., said chess saved him from a gambling addiction when he moved to San Francisco from Las Vegas more than 20 years ago. He said the chess games are a discrimination-free zone that has welcomed everyone from millionaires to people who have been in jail for decades.

“They’re being mean for no reason,” Torres Jr., 42, said about the police. “To me, it’s a scapegoat.”

Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homelessness, said the police were wrong to take chess away.

“Having activities for folks to do is a positive thing,” she said. “We have elderly people who are very isolated and this is a great way for them to be out in the community.”

Redmond said the players’ property will eventually be released back to them and he hopes to help work out a plan for chess in the future — but that may involve convincing a business to pay for a permit so games can be played on the sidewalk.

“I’m optimistic that something is going to work out,” Boykins said.

911 operator hangs up on a17-Year Old Girl three times while her father is having a seizure. She walks to the station to file a complaint and then the 911 operator arrests her on a charge that doesn't even exist. He gets to keep his job (2009)


Whichever way you look at it, the operator's (cop's) behaviour was completely out of order and a disgrace!

Emergency operators and cops are, after all, supossed to be professional and trained to handle (not to mention, sympathise with) stressed out callers - who in many cases, are calling for HELP due to a life or death situation!!!

Harv 09-18-2013 02:52 PM

I find the open carry people to be obnoxious. They do have a right to do it, but it's an unusual thing to do and provocative and it seems that most do it just to get the reaction that they usually end up getting. When the police handle it correctly these guys almost always end up looking like douches.



Braineack 09-18-2013 02:57 PM

why are they annoying? honestly, if it's legal, then you should be able to walk down the street with an open carry gun holstered video recording whatever the hell you want and expect to never be approached by police.

You're just conditioned to think that only police should be able to carry a firearm, have legal rights to murder, and prevent you from videotaping.

Correlation does not imply causation.

I'm right down the road from Newtown, CT.

If anything concealed carry works just as well if you need to carry. Walking down the street with a rifle slung over your shoulder is ridiculous.

A customer who is concealed carrying in a convenience store can stop an armed robbery dead in its tracks. Pun intended.

A customer who is open carrying in a convenience store can convince an armed robber, without saying a word, that "turning around and leaving" is a far more lucrative option than getting $72 from the cash register.

Concealed carry works because an aggressor never knows what weak looking victim is or isn't carrying.

Open carry works because an aggressor absolutely knows when you are.

Are you required to carry a permit or other ID in states that allow open carry?

I would think that a guy lugging a rifled down the street in the open would potentially breaking a law if a permit were required to open carry.

Enginerd 09-18-2013 09:56 PM

Double post.

fooger03 09-18-2013 11:01 PM

Generally, no.

Open carry most often requires no permit. I believe many or most states require that a weapon carried openly be unloaded. Some states do not have this requirement. This means that the UOC guys, as a matter of practice, have the pistol on the firing side hip and the inverted clip on their off-side hip. In order to fire, simultaneously remove the pistol and clip with their respective hands, join the two pieces together, chamber a round, and squeeze the trigger.

Concealed carry is big somewhat because it allows you to carry a loaded firearm, but mostly because it allows you to carry a firearm in a manner that won't draw unnecessary attention. If our general public had the same acceptance of Firearms as Israeli's do, Loaded Open Carry would be about as shocking as someone wearing a nice wrist-watch.

Rarely have I ever felt safer than walking through Jerusalem, where every 50th person had a loaded M16 Assault Rifle in their hands or slung over their back. No sarcasm in this post. Yes, they were all military - but then so is every Israeli if you think about it. It wasn't uncommon to see two beautiful Israeli women wearing flip flops, hair down, shopping for something like a bracelet, just as if they were two college-aged girlfriends here. Except they were in military uniform and had loaded assault rifles slung over their backs.

In America, it is almost never illegal to openly carry a long gun by any person of legal age, so long as it is unloaded and you aren't causing fear or acting threatening - the exception to this rule is federally mandated "gun free zones". Carrying a long gun in public is so legal, in fact, that it does not constitute reasonable suspicion - but then again, neither does legally openly carrying a handgun or concealed carrying a handgun.

I would find it perfectly reasonable (and legal, regardless of purpose) to carry an unloaded AR-15 through the streets of downtown Columbus, Ohio if I had my own purpose for doing so. (Maybe my apartment is 3 blocks away from an indoor firing range). I would not find it reasonable to carry that AR-15 at the ready while doing so. While I find it reasonable to carry this weapon through downtown Columbus in such a manner, I would not find it prudent. If I were in this scenario, my rifle would be transported in an unassuming container.

Nameless And Shameless: Masked DEA Agents Raid Innocent Women, Refuse To Reveal Their Identities


Caroline's mother, Geraldine Burley, was sitting at her computer in the basement when she heard a loud thud overhead, followed by a scream from her daughter and a man's voice ordering Caroline Burley to the floor. When she ascended the stairs, she too found a gun pointed at her head, and a man ordered her to get on the floor as well. She thought at first that she was being robbed.

Geraldine, now 70, pleaded with the man to let her move to the floor slowly, explaining to him that she'd had both of her knees replaced. Instead, another officer approached, grabbed her by the face, demanded that she "get the fuck on the floor," then threw her into a table. She tumbled to the ground. At that point, she said later in a deposition, everything turned to "a fire, white and ringing in my ear." Another officer came up from the basement with her grandson, stepping on her knees in the process. She cried out again in pain.

Police and school staff sued for beating and Tasering 12-year-old deaf boy | The Raw Story


The family of a 12-year-old boy known only as “A.M.” in court documents is suing police, the American School for the Deaf and the city of Hartford, CT over allegations that police unnecessarily Tasered the boy after school officials abused him and denied him food. According to the Courthouse News Service, the student ran away from the school to a construction site to escape staffers who had beaten and choked him, and it was there that police Tasered the boy, who is “profoundly deaf,” with no warning.

Court records say that A.M. was involved in a scuffle with a school staff member in March of this year in which the staffer choked the boy — who has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) — and threw him to the ground, resulting in “significant head injuries.”

...

“Defendant Chris Hammond informed plaintiff that he was going to kill him and push him into an unsafe area of the construction site,” said the suit. “Defendant Chris Hammond proceeded to grab plaintiff and punched plaintiff in the face with closed fists.”

The boy reportedly picked up a stick to defend himself against Hammond and the other adult staffers. They retreated from the scene and left A.M. sitting by himself with his back to the school.

Police arrived at the construction site after dark. Knowing the boy was deaf, they allegedly made no effort to warn or communicate with him, but Tasered him from behind. As A.M. writhed on the ground from the “burns, paralysis and pain” caused by the Taser barbs, the two police officers rushed him and placed him in handcuffs.

He was taken to Connecticut Children’s Hospital and treated for electrical burns.

part 2 shows overreaching cops:



On June 4, 2012, I was drinking coffee on my porch when three Cheyenne PD (Wyoming) cruisers parked in front of my house. The LEOs walked around the corner so I followed with my camera. I was detained. At that time I was not nearly as educated as I am now (9/18/13). Notice that I ignored the unlawful order to put down my camera. That much I knew at the time.

About the police officers involved. Despite being wrong, they were very patient with me and mostly professional. Since this event, I have recorded my local PD several times with their knowledge and I haven't had a problem since.

Please watch our Sanctuary Homeless Camp Presentation here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBWhgjXrKaY...

At about 1am on april 22, 2013 Downtown Santa Cruz, Pacific Avenue. I rode my bike past two guys sitting passively on a bench at night downtown. Then a cop stopped and one-thing-led-to-another and the officer hand cuffed one of them and "spun him" ... slamming the mans face with great force into the sidewalk.

This video is now the catalyst for a possible Santa Cruz police dept. policy change.

The victim was not told in the hospital that he had been injured by an officer of the scpd. He only found out 3 days later when I (videographer Brent Adams) found him and showed him the video. The blood stained the ground for nearly 3 days in front of Dell William's Jewelers.

If a police officer slams a homeless man to the ground fracturing his skull and someone isn't there to video tape it, did it even happen?

You'll notice there are no ads on this video or any of my videos (except one because some music voided the possibility). I'm not trying to make $ on this.

Georgia Cop Caught on Camera Demanding Bribe Resigns, but Still Not Arrested | Photography is Not a Crime: PINAC


A Georgia cop who was caught on camera trying to shake down a citizen for a bribe, turning to the woman with the camera and slapping it out of her hand, resigned this week after admitting to the crimes.

But Brandon Brown has yet to be arrested, even though the district attorney has been reviewing the case since August 6, proving once again that police are above the law.

Instead, Dekalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander is vowing to restore “swagger” within the department.

But swagger, defined as carrying oneself arrogantly, pompously or even bullying, is exactly the way they’ve been acting these last few years, which is why another cop was arrested last week on drug trafficking charges and a previous chief was sentenced to prison last year for a bribery conviction and several other officers arrested earlier this year for protecting drug dealers (just a few of several stories I found on Google).

Perhaps the fact that Brown was only demanding $50 from a man in exchange for not arresting him on marijuana charges early last month made him look like small potatoes compared to the rest of the department.

After all, a cop with swagger would have demanded much more.

Traffic stop leads to window-shattering confrontation with UCF police | Orange County News - WESH Home


ORLANDO, Fla. —A broken tail light led to a student’s arrest after a confrontation with University of Central Florida police, and the incident was caught on camera.

A busted tail light led to one woman’s arrest after a confrontation with University of Central Florida police.

Police video of the violent encounter was released Thursday after the student filed a complaint. It shows UCF campus police officer Timothy Isaac pulling over a vehicle driven by Victoria King, 26, on Sept. 4.

The officer told King she was missing a brake light and that she did not signal when she changed lanes.

King did not have a registration document for the car and is repeatedly heard telling the officer that she was trying to get to the school’s health clinic.

When the officer tried to serve King with a ticket, the stop took a glass-shattering turn.

King refused to roll down her passenger’s side window, so the officer said he would break it.

“If you roll it up on my...” Isaacs is heard saying as the glass shatters.

“Oh my gosh. Are you serious?” King asked him.

“Get out of the car, get out of the car,” Isaacs said. “You’re getting charged with resisting right now.”

The officer said the window broke as King was rolling it up.

King made several mentions during the recording that she was pregnant and having a miscarriage. She said later that she was not sure if she was pregnant, but said she was bleeding.

King was arrested and charged with battery of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence. She filed a complaint, saying the officer used brutal and excessive force.

Man guilty in rapes of 5-year-old


A jailer who is a former Marion County deputy sheriff could be sentenced to life in prison after a jury convicted him of raping a 5-year-old girl left in the care of his girlfriend's baby-sitting business.
Jurors deliberated about four hours over two days before finding Randy N. Spencer, 28, of Marion, guilty of four counts of rape yesterday.
Marion County Common Pleas Judge Jim Slagle tentatively set Spencer's sentencing for next Friday. He faces a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of life imprisonment without parole because the rapes involved a child younger than 10.
Spencer was convicted of raping the girl between June 2012 and April, said a spokeswoman for the office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. Spencer would baby-sit children when his girlfriend was not available, the spokeswoman said.
Spencer was laid off as a deputy sheriff in late 2011. He remained an auxiliary deputy.
Spencer began working as a corrections officer at the Delaware County jail in early 2012.
He was placed on paid leave on April 12 when the Delaware County sheriff's office learned of the rape investigation, and he was placed on unpaid leave after his May 2 arrest.
His employment status is being reviewed, a sheriff's spokeswoman said.
Because he had been a deputy in Marion County, the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation handled the investigation, and members of DeWine's staff prosecuted the case.

DEA opens fire on car with two children | CW39 NewsFix


A high-speed chase and shots fired, but it all came with an unfortunate surprise.

The chase ended in northwest Harris County on Antoine near Veteran’s Memorial.

Before that, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office says a DEA agent was chasing the suspects when one tried getting away and tried running over one of the agents. That’s when another agent opened fire on the vehicle. But little did they know there were two children inside. Luckily, no one, including the children were hurt.

No word why the DEA were chasing the suspects.

WXYZ: Do Napoleon's texts show abuse of power?


Wayne County Sheriff and Detroit Mayoral candidate Benny Napoleon's deputies kicked in the door at the home of an ex-employee - after she says she'd been fired for blowing the whistle on his top brass.

Now the 7 Action News Investigators have uncovered some of Napoleon's text messages that show the raid may have been improper.

The text messages recently came to light in a lawsuit and they have legal experts saying Sheriff Benny Napoleon may have abused his power.

So we wanted to know - why would the leader of a cash-strapped department send several deputies to search a former employee's home?

And did the very people who enforce the law -- break it?

"Did you abuse your power here," asked 7 Action News Investigator Heather Catallo.
"Absolutely not," insisted Napoleon.

The Sheriff says he did nothing wrong when his department raided this woman's home - but Renee Newell completely disagrees...

A New Orleans police officer was suspended Wednesday, after an incendiary YouTube video surfaced showing him standing by while a group brawled on Canal Street downtown.

Cortez Hankton, who has worked for the department for more than 20 years, was immediately suspended without pay pending an internal investigation, Superintendent Ronal Serpas said during a press conference Wednesday afternoon.

"No one can watch this 2-plus minute film and believe that Officer Hankton did all that he could, including all that he could do physically," Serpas said.

MELBOURNE, Fla -- The family of an elderly Melbourne with dementia man says they plan on suing the police department -- all over a violent confrontation that was caught on camera.

The dash camera video shows 66-year-old Albert Flowers being kicked by Melbourne officer Derek Middendorf back in October. Flowers was also punched repeatedly, and another officer used a stun gun to shoot him in the face.

Police reports said the officer was investigating a call about an argument at the time. Officer Middendorf said Flowers was acting aggressively and refused to stop at a safe distance.

But the man's family said they're horrified and that the officer went too far.
"I know he has a job to do, but when you take it above and beyond after being warned that he has dementia when you are warning that he has dementia and be brutal like that it's criminal," said Flowers' son Carlos.

News 13 contacted Melbourne Police. They referred us to a spokesperson for the city who said because no complaint has been filed yet, they have nothing to respond to.
They do say though the officer turned off his camera before the incident - but the video was still able to be retrieved from a hard drive.

A hearing is set for Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the city says Officer Middendorf is still employed with the police department, but is currently off the job after an unrelated injury - 15 January 2012

crazy story:

I’m going to preface with an upfront apology for grammar, spelling, or anything unintelligible. My heart is racing!

I was in my upstairs office when I heard the entrance gate leading to my front door slam. This is locked 99% of the time. Unfortunately for me, tonight it was latched shut but not locked. My dog (large and intimidating ...really a lover) storms down the stairs to address the noise. I hear what sounds to be an overly protective bark of utter aggression. I came down the bend in my stairwell to see what the commotion was; meanwhile I'm in my underwear. I notice beams of light, presumably from flash lights, coming through the blinds.

At this point I'm slightly comforted by the assumption that it’s the police rather than thugs fueled with malicious intent. I approach the door, partially draw the vertical blinds …dog sounds rabid… to notice two officers with hands resting on their gun. I assert myself, "may I help you? What is going on?" Immediate response from one of the rookie (or at least younger) officers is, "We need to come in your house, please let us in!" I said, "Absolutely not! Why are you here?"

He said that there was a domestic dispute/disturbance call from my address. I informed him that he must have the wrong address as I am the only resident at this location and to re-verify where the call originated. They both insisted it was my address. I asked to explain what happened on the call and was informed they heard a male and female fighting; the woman was screaming.

My dog continues to make intimidating attempts to viciously defend us. Now I feel even more uncomfortable. Hands still resting on their guns, they keep eyeing my dog. The rookie proclaims that I will regret my decision once he calls SWAT "to tear down my $2000 door". I said, “That’s unlikely” and to “present me with a warrant!” Reiterating, I inform them that I do not feel comfortable with them entering my residence as my dog is extremely agitated. After countless attempts to sell me on their entry, I finally instruct them to hold on as I ran back upstairs to retrieve my phone.

I dialed 911 and requested to get additional information for their reason of dispatch. The operator patched me through to a supervising officer who verified the call. She said that all I needed to do was help her officers do their job and verify there was in fact no disturbance. I respectfully declined, expressing appreciation for the officers patrolling the neighborhood but, “they are not entering my home”.

Also, I refused to give my name or any defining information throughout the whole debacle. I was afraid that if a case was written up for the incident, my name would be on public record for a domestic dispute. A dispute that was not only false but impossible as I live alone with my "killer dog". By the way, Good Boooooy! God forbid I let them enter my home after my dog’s reaction and watch as they kill him for being a dog.

To no avail she attempted to convince me of their "right" of entry. I asked where the call came from. She informed me they (the police) contacted the cellular company and my address showed up as the closest residence to the call. I responded with, “Thank you for confirming it did not in fact come from my residence; rather it was an approximation and you are here purely on an assumption”. I agreed, after locking my dog in the nearby bathroom, to open the door and speak with the officers.

Now I'm standing in my house with the door ajar. During the call with the officers supervisor they exited my gate and waited out front. I instructed them to come back as I had spoken with their superior to verify the call. They enter the property and again had to unlatch the gate to get in. I hear an officer on the side of the house as they walked toward me. Now I'm approached by 4 visible officers and one concealing himself around the corner.

I communicate again that their information is incorrect, that I appreciate them doing their job but, it is unacceptable for them to enter my house and I would like them to leave. As I'm asserting my rights the rookie around the corner approaches me, grabs my arms and began to inform me that I was being detained. I was pulled out of my house at this point. Another officer pulled up one of my lawn chairs and demanded I have a seat. I complied. What else was I to do at this point?

Now I'm sitting on my walkway after being removed from inside my house, behind the entrance gate to my front door… in handcuffs. I had to instruct one of the officers to exit my house. After the cuffs were on me he stood in the doorway. I instructed them to shut the door; which they did.

My blood pressure had to be off the charts! I recommended they check my neighbor’s house to verify if she was ok and possibly that is where the call originated. The rookie mentioned that these (mistakes) calls happen all the time. In fact he said it just happened to him and I should let them in my house because of it. Almost without pause I asked if he had been beating his wife or girlfriend in order for the police to show up… making light of the absurd situation.

He was not happy with my response and began to speak over me. I looked him directly in the eye without hesitation and said, "You are simply lying in an attempt to pacify me. You are not coming into my house." This threw him off guard. He looked to the left then down and back up at me. “I’m not trying to pacify you!” Then threatened, unsurely, asking his fellow officers if I was obstructing justice... Shoulder-shrugs mirrored like a candle lit fun house. Ultimately he insisted I was in fact obstructing justice and things were going to end bad for me.

Finally rookie and the other officers, with the exception of a male and female officer, decided it may be a good idea to check on the neighbor. While they were doing this, the male officer at my side (the one I asked to exit my house) was on the phone with, I assume, his supervising officer. I could tell by their conversation that I was about to be freed and un-cuffed.

Once he got off the phone I made small talk as we waited to hear the outcome from next door. I asked how long he had been on the force. "8 years", he responded. Me: "Looks like you'll have something to talk about when you get home tonight." He held back a smirk. Told him about a good friend I have who is also in the force and so on. Simply letting him realize I wasn't a threat.

The rookie and another officer came back through my gate and onto my property to report their findings. There was no call from her address either. Once this was communicated, the male officer who had been watching me said, "You are free to go." I stood up maintaining eye contact with the rookie (who had previously attempted to intimidate me throughout this ordeal) as I watched his face lose muscle tension, "whhhhaaat???"

I smiled at him, requested he return the lawn chair back from where the other officer got it from and to hand me my phone from the adjacent table. I told everyone to have a good evening and went back inside. I felt like I was in a UFC fight and had just won.
Do I have any recourse regarding this incident? Or should I just bask in the adrenaline that currently prevents me from going to sleep?

tl;dr Police showed up to my home. I refused entry because they responded to a misinformed call. In fear for my safety. I was detained, handcuffed, and bullied. I provided no personal information. I was threatened. 100% within my rights; they were forced to let me go.

Conviction of Post-Katrina Cops Shooting Civilians Nullified | Political Blind Spot


Just this week, a federal judge overturned the convictions of all five New Orleans police officers who had been linked to the shooting of UNARMED civilians in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This includes Kenneth Bowen, whom prosecutors said sprayed a crowd of unarmed civilians with an AK-47 as they huddled behind a concrete barrier.

The judge claimed that prosecutors had engaged in “grotesque” misconduct in the handling of the case. All five officers are free to go, in spite of having shot unarmed civilians.

U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt claimed that that federal prosecutors in New Orleans had “anonymously posted damning online critiques of the accused officers and the New Orleans Police Department before and during the 2011 trial.” This, according to A.C. Thompson of ProPublica, the judge believed was a “breach of professional ethics” that Engelhardt believed “had the effect of depriving the officers of their rights to a fair trial.”

LiveLeak.com - Milwaukee Cops Charged With Multiple Illegal Rectal Searches (comments)


Four Milwaukee police officers were charged Tuesday with felonies related to illegal rectal searches of suspects on the street and in police district stations over the past two years.

In one case, an officer held a gun to a man's head as two others held his arms and a third put him in a choke hold while jamming a hand into his anus, purportedly searching for evidence, according to the criminal complaint. Another man bled from his rectum for several days after his encounter with police, the complaint says.

The complaint lays out in graphic detail how the primary suspect, Officer Michael Vagnini, conducted searches of men's ---- and scrotal areas, often inserting his fingers into their rectums. Vagnini acknowledged performing one of the searches. At least one suspect said Vagnini planted drugs on him.

State law and police procedures prohibit officers from conducting cavity searches. Only medical personnel are allowed to perform them, and police must first obtain a search warrant.

Clever PA, clever.



Citizens in Pittsburgh PA, are now getting ticketd for parking in THIER OWN driveways, as the city 'Building Code Officers', are now enforcing a long out-dated, little known & idiotic 'code' from the 1950s. Hefty fines are attached to these tickets forcing homewoners to abandon their own driveways and park on the street, where parking is @ a premium and very hard to find. Once again, the government wishes to force the citizens to do as they command or face the consequences, eventhough this is a pure encroachment on the rights of the property owner. But then again, it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to own thier own property in the USA, as the government continues to tax that property even if the property is paid for & can take it away at their whim. The city of Toledo OH started using a similar practice 4 Years ago. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! If You're Not Pissed Off... You're Not Paying Attention!!!

I posted the courtfeed of this once, but I thought it being covered by a newsfeed was interesting:




The Maricopa County detention officer tried to explain Friday why he and a fellow scumbag sheriffs office employee swiped a document from a defense attorneys file in a bizarre scene that was caught on courtroom videotape.

Detention officer Adam Stoddard sputtered nervously through his testimony at a hearing in Maricopa County Superior Court, where he was ordered to give reasons for taking the document. For every reason he gave, however, he retreated just as quickly, contradicting himself throughout the two-hour hearing.


The whole thing surrounded a scene that took place in a Maricopa County courtroom on Oct. 19, all caught on a courthouse security tape.At first, Stoddard testified that the document he yanked from the file — a handwritten letter — contained keywords that led him to believe Lozano was some sort of security risk. Later, however, the detention officer admitted the document had been reviewed by court or sheriffs officials beforehand and was quite literally given a stamp of approval.Stoddard also said he thought the document might have been somehow illegally passed between Lozano and his defense attorney. But later in the hearing, he admitted that there was really nothing unusual or illegal about a handwritten letter being passed between attorney and client.

It makes no sense, and they cant really justify it. They write the tickets even if you OWN the property from the curb back.

no, they can justify it. they just don't want to tell you that it's about writing more tickets and getting more revenue from it.

it's win win. you park in driveway, they write a ticket so you are forced to park on street so they can then write you a ticket for something else.

Very true... Its a 60 year old law, that they are using to make money. In pittsburgh you CANT park a car 30 feet or more from the road. MOST houses are 10 feet from the road. And even if you own the property outright, they still write the tickets. Same with the sidewalks... its only YOUR property when its convenient for THEM, ie: someone tripping on a lifted sidewalk block, and cracking their head open.
OTHERWISE, it is THEIR property, along with all the land 5 feet on either side of the sidewalk. A girl i work with wanted to have a tree removed from her front yard, because it was basically dead, and limbs were falling off, and onto the house. They wouldnt let her without a permit, and permission from the township, because even though it was HER property, it is THEIR property, becauste the tree was within 5 feet of the sidewalk. 4 months, $300 later in permits, and 1 hour worth of chainsaw work that they paid another $150 for, and the tree was gone.
Scamtastic

Oh.... and i got a ticket for parking in front of my own house along the curb last year. I fought it, because there was NOTHING stating i couldnt park there. I didnt have to pay.... But, you cant drive through pittsburgh ANYWHERE without seeing cars parked along the road, its ridiculous..

Officer Tickets 215 Phantom Motorists For Seatbelt Violation


In June, the New Orleans Police Department received a federal grant that provides overtime pay to officers who help enforce seatbelt laws. Police salaries being what they are, the grant drew the attention of many officers, including one Glenn Gross.

Gross apparently issued the 215 tickets to "phantom motorists" in three months since the grant funds were awarded. Details of how he accomplished that feat haven't been released, but since he works in the department's information technology division -- or did, until he was arrested yesterday -- it sounds as if he could have created them from the relative comfort of his desk. Eventually, one of Gross' supervisors became suspicious and reported him to the Public Integrity Bureau, which conducted an investigation.

Police change defence after allegedly breaking student's leg over ticket


A group of police officers who allegedly broke the leg of an arts student and told her ''we don't care if it's legal'' have been allowed to change their defence at the eleventh hour after CCTV footage of the assault emerged.
Rachel Gardner is suing the NSW police force claiming she was kicked, sat on, handcuffed, pushed against a fence, loaded into a paddy wagon and then dumped at a nearby train station without charge after being caught without a train ticket on March 13, 2011.
Police initially denied the kick occurred but sought to amend their defence in the Sydney District Court on Monday, minutes before the beginning of a five-day trial, after Ms Gardner's legal team revealed they had obtained CCTV footage from Cronulla station.
On Tuesday, Judge Sharron Norton lambasted the force's barrister Matthew Hutchings for presenting an "entirely different" defence document on the morning of the trial but she allowed it and deferred the trial to November.

Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland will be taking a defensive driving course and has accepted a one-day suspension from Mayor Annise Parker, stemming from a traffic incident earlier this month.

Soon after he tweeted news of his punishment, a video of accident was also released to the media via email.

The accident happened about 8:15 a.m. on Sept. 4 at the intersection of Clay and Travis, about a block from police headquarters. McClelland hit a man he didn't see crossing the street as he was driving to police headquarters in a city vehicle.

"I am the boss; I should take a bigger discipline. This is why I am accepting my suspension," the official Houston police Twitter page quoted McClelland as saying.

$3.4M settlement in deadly 2011 SWAT raid near Tucson


The family of a man killed in a barrage of gunfire during a SWAT raid at a home southwest of Tucson has settled a lawsuit with four police agencies involved in the operation.

The $3.4 million settlement with the family of Jose Guerena will end a two-year legal battle between his wife, Vanessa, and Pima County.

The settlement includes Marana, Oro Valley and Sahuarita, which had officers on the SWAT team, officials confirmed on Thursday.

Guerena, 26, was shot and killed by SWAT team members on May 5, 2011, when they raided his house.

An American citizen was arrested by police for filming the military training for martial law & urban assaults in Charlotte, NC. He was released after the police had to admit that they could not charge someone with "trespassing" on publicly property. This area is open to the public & there was no legal way to deny a member of the public the right to use it. This is no different than trying to say that Black people cannot use a public park. Public property cannot be given to any privileged person or group, even for one day. Notice the subterfuge that was used with the term "city owned" as if that is something different than PUBLIC PROPERTY. People have won large settlements from municipalities because they told that they must leave public property. The most common cases have involved homeless people being thrown out of parks or libraries.

“You are not preparing them for Harvard,” he said.

The irate parent, who has a sixth-grader and a second-grader and in Howard County, Md. schools, asserted that the new curriculum will only prepare students for community college.

This fall, for the first time, 45 states and the District of Columbia have begun implementing Common Core State Standards Initiative, which attempts to standardize various K-12 curricula around the country.

Criticism of the Common Core has risen sharply. Opposition has brought together conservatives who stand athwart a federal takeover of public education and leftists who deplore ever-more standardized testing.

The plan for the question-and-answer forum was for attendees write their questions down on pieces of paper. Then, Dance and the Maryland State Superintendent of Schools, Lillian Lowery, would answer them.

After Small spoke for perhaps a few minutes, a security guard confronted him. A police report alleges that Small tried to push the guard away when the guard initially confronted him.

The video does not appear to show Small pushing the guard.

“Let’s go. Let’s go,” the security guard said.

“Let him ask his question,” someone yelled.

To audible gasps, the guard then pulled the 46-year-old father aggressively in the direction of the aisle.

As the guarded escorted Small out of the forum, Small said “Don’t stand for this. You are sitting here like cattle.” Then he asked, “Is this America?”
