I’m self-reporting for my last two posts...christ if he is going to report someone for calling him a badgelicker he’ll wet his pants over my posts.
what the hell are they teaching in the academy these days? If you cuff somone you write paper...and if you charge someone with a crime you ALWAYS write paper on the PC so that you don't have some slick defense attorney arguing that there never was PC to begin with as evidenced by the warning instead of the actual ERO.
I've revised my analysis...you failed out of the academy are are running around a mall on a Segway, right?
you really are a moron...you don't know the difference between a PBT and a breathalyzer, or what they do and do not signify with respect to evidence and whether they are admissible for any purpose.
Exactly. Principles before Party.
P>Wrong. and you are no better than the lying weasil bootlicker
Um..........are you on drugs?
Not really. It is a story about the past, written in the present tense.
Well, I'm not taking a position on this particular DWI stop and all that is alleged. It's a one sided story at this point, and no video tape.
I will however comment on the "how dumb" question, which is a legit question.
In general humans are very dumb and numb as to learning from experiences. Yes there are some singleton events which people do learn from, they are not rare, but as a class it is difficult to say what common characteristic such events share.
In general folks need to be taught to learn from experiences, and teachable events need to be reinforced as "this is something we learn from".
While that may be true - law enforcement is also constrained by the law to protect the very RIGHTS of those they are investigating, any abuse of the individual by an officer of the law is not excusable.
SAD! You must be a cop cause you went to donut class when you should have been studding spelling. weasil=Weasel
you're no better than the Weasel crap on the bootlicker boot!

I think the conduct of the individual officers is the issue. Even allowing for embellishment by the obviously pissed of wife and husband, their story stands up to scrutiny. The conduct of the officers was not professional nor was it normal standard procedure. In fact much of what was done were violations of proper procedure.
This was a bad deal from the get go and became more abusive of discretion as the things progressed.
Unless, of course, the officer had something on his mind that was best suited for isolated, poorly lit venues.
I love you too.
Are you going to acknowledge that you were in the wrong for erroneously reporting three Freepers in good standing?
Magistrate: Trooper followed procedure by not releasing woman

Just following the story.
New Hanover County State Senator Thom Goolsby says he’s frustrated over what he perceives as “false allegations” against two state troopers, who have been put on administrative duty during an investigation of a recent DWI arrest.
Neither Wyrick nor Smith have any record of disciplinary action or suspensions during their time with the Highway Patrol, according to First Sgt. Jeff Gordon.
Goolsby pointed out the decision to put the troopers on administrative duty left New Hanover County short of troopers to patrol during the 4th of July weekend.
The entire text of Senator Goolsby’s letter follows:
Like most of the public, I was shocked at the allegations recently made against two local North Carolina State Troopers regarding the DWI arrest of Gina Tessener. I was sent a copy of the letter to the Governor written by Tessener’s lawyer-husband. In the letter, the husband made numerous allegations of abuse and illegal conduct against our troopers.
I read the letter with interest and concern. As an attorney who practices in our local courts, I have known these troopers for the entire time they have enforced the law in southeastern North Carolina. I have never received any complaints about them. My personal experience was that they were professional, honest and forthright.
When I learned that there was a video tape from the Detention Center, I watched it with interest. I was shocked and angered when it was apparent that the video did not represent several of the allegations made in the letter.
I have personally spoken with the Governor, Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety and the Commander of the Highway Patrol expressing my frustration over what I perceive to be false allegations. Further, because both of these troopers were immediately placed on administrative leave, our county will be short of law enforcement officers to protect the public from drunk drivers during 4th of July weekend.
It is time that someone spoke up and defended our troopers. I am doing so now.

Agreed. But if an officer had any such activity on his mind, he would not be a good policeman.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - New video released Tuesday from the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office shows a woman from Raleigh in a heated discussion with a state trooper. It’s more evidence that’s helping to paint a picture of what happened the night of a disputed DWI arrest involving a woman from Raleigh.
The woman is Gina Tessener. She and her husband, Hoyt Tessener, claim Trooper Edward Wyrick, Jr. harassed Mrs. Tessener during a traffic stop last month. Trooper Andrew Smith is also on administrative duty during the investigation, because he pulled over Mr. Tessener while he was on his way to the magistrate’s office to support his wife.
Hoyt Tessener sent a letter to Governor Bev Perdue and numerous other elected representatives and media agencies last week asking for an investigation.
Read the account from the Tesseners and watch the surveillance video
Surveillance video taken inside the Wrightsville Beach Police Department, which was released last week, shows Gina Tessener taking a breathalyzer test, where she blew a zero.
Tuesday, more surveillance video surfaced from inside the magistrate’s office at the New Hanover County Detention Center. On the tape, you can see a conversation between Mrs. Tessener and Trooper Wyrick, who seem to be arguing over the location of Tessener’s phone.
