stooopid cow has a gun, and STILL had to call for backup after lying about seeing him smoking... fehI hope if you bother to comment, that you bother to watch the whole video. Yes I know it is a little long but this is OUR America. This is what many posters on FR defend. I would ask those of you who believe in a strong State and a strong Police to reconsider.
Land of liberty? That’s a joke, right?
Ah, yeah ... land of the free and home of the brave.
I'm no fan of cops pushing their weight around and harassing folks, but this kid didn't know when to shut up.
All of the advice from lawyers ACLU types tell you to ask if you are being detained or free to go. If the latter....leave immediately. If the former you can be detained until they can ascertain your identity.
You should have askes the question..if the answer was no, you should have left the area immediately.
She thought you were smoking, which I am going to assume was prohibited in the area you were in. So she was manufacturing probable cause to detain you if necessary.
It’s absurd I agree but this is what the tobacco nazi’s and MADD have wrought.
As I said before. Gestapo. American Gestapo.
“Your papers. Show me your papers.”
Is bad spelling a Class C misdemeanor?
stooopid cow has a gun, and STILL had to call for backup after lying about seeing him smoking... fehWow, so now you can go to jail for smoking OUTSIDE? We really do live in a police state.
Smoking, loitering, or being an A-hole?
He had much of the right idea, asserting his rights and asking if he was free to go? Good moves. Then he kept talking and talking. Bad move.
How many anti-smokers voted for legal marijuana...when will MADD or something like it go after stoned drivers...so far the Juveniles are wining...smoking is fine it it is weed.........
Unlawful detention? Violation of civil rights under color of law? Hope he sues the #### out of that PD and those two cops personally.
So the thugcop detains him illegally (from all appearances) then gives him a ticket for loitering? See my earlier comment...
So he says he wasn’t smoking and the cop says she saw him smoke but she wrote him a citation for loitering because she detained him and caused him to tarry. WTH?
I think he’s right. It’s his hoodie and manner of dress that they resented. I’ve been to SLC and they all dress like clones: dress shirt, tie and khakis for men. My husband didn’t fit in with jeans and a plaid shirt.
They know if you are from there or are a visitor.
Lutsy can you just splain so I’ll know if I want to watch?
Cops are all about their sensitive egos. And so was the kid. But the kid doesn’t have the power to ruin innocent people’s lives on a whim.
Yes they can again be called Pigs openly, and for those of you who are not pigs, suck it
up and do something about those who give you a bad name. You're called enablers.
The Female Piggy conveniently forgot his answer about never smoking in his life.
No, she blatantly LIED which the video showed and still escalated the
situation to a Crime to win the day for her dumb-ass narcissistic endeavors.
How many are in Prison and Jail because of this abuse? I would guess THOUSANDS.
He kept talking and pissed off the cops certainly, and I see no way out "either way"
for him since she was hell bent on handing out tickets for something.
That PIG Bitch could have lied even further and gotten the guy shot and killed.
Imagine that not happening? Good luck in todays police state.
All you PIGS out there who want respect? Do something about the bad ones or get another job.
If the guy had been courteous it might not have happened, but it is interesting that it did.
