Excuse the vanity but you guys MUST hear this. As you know if you have read any of my posts, I use to be an attorney. Well, my friendly local police department just made a HUGE MISTAKE and I can assure you they will pay for it. I post it here, not for sympathy but to show just how eroded our rights have become.

[Filo]

Pigs behaving badly and breaking the law. Who’da thunk?

[parsifal]

It depends on where he lives. He might get very little in some jurisdictions, and a lot in others.

parsy, who has seen this kind of stuff go for very little because the defense knows the jurisdiction is made up of conservatives and they are likely to dominate jury pool

[srweaver]

What a dilemna for you.

Well, if they tell you you can’t fish any more, or violate your rights in some other way, “Just keep your head down and mouth shut and the government will leave you alone.”

Law Professor (attorney) advice about talking to police — “Never under any circumstances!” :-)

Talking to the Police by Professor James Duane - 47:14 - Jul 15, 2008

Professor James Duane’s now famous 5th Amendment lecture - popularly known as “Don’t talk to the police!” - has amassed a considerable internet following. The lecture, given as part of Regent Law School’s spring preview weekend.

ALSO..., in that lecture is a police investigator on why one should *never* talk to the police — even “innocent people”...

“George Bruch from the Virginia Beach police department responds to Professor James Duane’s presentation on why innocent people should never talk to the police.”

What the hell does race have to do with any of this?

"Her," ain't a race. Long and not all together happy experience has admittedly left me with a very jaundiced eye, and perhaps an overly sensitive antenna, for female police sergeants, lieutenants, captains, and chiefs.

Thanks to your kind reminder, I shall keep an open mind on the subject.

Don't forget your Federal cause of action in this one:

18USC242

NO! You will love this. One of them arrogantly told me that they were RECORDING THE WHOLE THING. There is a TAPE of the entire incident.

Don't worry about the tape. If it helps your case it will disappear.

[Natural Law]

The cops didn’t act stupidly, they acted criminally. Until law enforcement begins doing a better job recruiting, training, managing, and “policing” themselves I am going to continue to presume that they ALL fall into the criminal and dumbass category until they individually demonstrate to the contrary. The majority of LEOs that are good and honest have only their peers, not the public, to blame.

I'd tell you to lawyer up, but you've already got that covered! Good luck. I hope you take these thugs with badges to the cleaners...make it hurt for the ones who hired them.

Did they teach you to spell Sargeant in law school?

[veracious]

Don’t let them get away with this blatant violation of your constitutional rights. The politizied police are just a small part of the Asylum of our Era.

NO! You will love this. One of them arrogantly told me that they were RECORDING THE WHOLE THING. There is a TAPE of the entire incident.

Unless you are in physical possession of that tape I doubt it. Everything that you said that could possibly be taken out of context, misconstrued or slanted has been transcribed and the tape itself has been destroyed so that there is no evidence of anything they said which would substantiate any accusations the perp (I mean you, and yes, you do detect irony there) might make.

[Stentor]

You might want to hire a paralegal to check the spelling, punctuation and grammar on any suit you might file, because yours are pretty atrocious.

I've an acquaintance who just passed the bar. He seems incapable of written communication.

[MaxMax]

Well Sir, the officers were their investigating a complaint

Just playing with the words in the post.

[Wings-n-Wind]

you shudda spanked them --

At least a letter of complaint--and insisting on a written delineation of their egregious breach of your rights... with apology!

Their assumptions and actions are based on OUR lack of assertive response--- during or after the fact!

Just my humble... no flames intended

[Star Traveler]

You said — It is the lack of a search warrant or arrest warrant that sends me a red flag.

—

Well..., you don’t have to say that to me (LOL...) ... unlike many FReepers that I see posting here... I contend that even if he did steal the money, and he was a confirmed and convicted criminal, five times in the past — and it’s sitting in a shoebox in his bedroom, that they still need a search warrant... :-)

[srweaver]

“When I worked in EMS (pre-caller id days), we would sometimes come to a house where no one answered the door after supposedly calling for an ambulance. What to do?”

You mean to say there are no legally prescribed procedures for this situation?

[wideminded]

You have to figure they are plotting a way to make you regret filing charges. Better make sure they don’t “lose” the tape.

[RandallFlagg]

When I finished this cool, calm, and collected accusation of her Sargent, she said the most breath taking thing I have ever heard an officer say:

"Well Sir, the officers were their investigating a complaint. You could have just cooperated and made everything much easier on everyone."

You should have gone Gran Torino on her and said, "If you're ever raped, ask yourself if you should just cooperate, and maybe the rapist will go away."

BTW, Nuke these bastards. Please.
