Well...depending on the local and state property tax, that is correct. They pay per Sq ft it is considered within the house.
As soon as he TOUCHED that person, that cop was also in violation.
Like I said. I do not know WTH they are teaching these kids these days in the academy, but they had better fire the GD instructors and start over.
Yes. Correct. What I meant is that he said he was the owner of the house. Town Hall would have records containing what the police were asking for.
First 60 seconds of video mentions black victims and white cops. Seems if there was some violation of procedure, that would not even come into play.
I sure know what they do not teach... The Constitution and bill of rights. To LE they just do not exist anymore and they are allowed to use personal discretion to negate these as they like.
It is a mystery why they would hold this guy for guilt by living close to a crime scene.
“It is a mystery why they would hold this guy for guilt by living close to a crime scene.”
No mystery... Low IQ idiot who should be working at Taco Bell.
“They should have just gone in their house and shut the door and called the police.”
Um, the idiots at their door WERE the police. Do you really think calling 911 about the idiot cops at your front door is going to change anything?
That’s the kind of idiots I used to deal with as a teenager. They’d murder a five year old if some ass in a black robe told them to do it.
I meant to say he doesn’t own the property where the weed was growing.
“As a former prosecutor, I can tell you that we routinely dropped cases based on the concept of “abated by arrest.” In other words, we knew that the cops on occasion made questionable arrests and that the arrest itself was enough punishment for the defendant whether a crime had or had not been committed.”
Too late for a completely innocent person. Punished for life because of the arrest record alone guilty or not? “Enough punishment” even if a crime had been committed or not?
And you do not see a problem with this UNCONSTITUTIONAL practice and concept? We are right back to “everyone is guilty no matter what” again. “We only punished innocent people a little bit...”
Are you kidding? That is about the most inept concept and defense I have heard in my life.
Question: How many times does a police officer have to ask for your name? And how many WARNINGS does the cop have to give you that you will be arrested if you don’t provide your information before he puts the cuffs on? Seriously. This guy was warned at least 5X that he would be arrested. I have little sympathy.
“How many times does a police officer have to ask for your name?”
In 99% of the cases the officer has no right, probable cause, or evidence to even ask. In this particular case the officer had absolutely no right period. Let alone the fact the accused had absolutely no legal obligation to comply.
Asking for ID immediately presumes guilt. Officer’s discretion does NOT negate Constitutional presumption of innocence or private property rights.
This was pure and simple “I am your master and YOU WILL OBEY”.
So, moving right along...how 'bout those Mets?
Here is the deal... What you and the system needs to understand is that when a public servant enters onto/into private property without a warrant they are legally trespassing without permission from the owner.
LE has absolutely no legal authority to trespass at just personal discretion and/or suspicion.
At that point they have no more legal authority than any Joe blow civilian stranger from off the street. They no longer have any legal authority to ask or command one damned thing let alone conduct an investigation without a warrant.
Do you feel you are legally obligated to answer questions from a total civilian stranger off the street trespassing on your property? There is absolutely no difference here with this interaction and many many like it that happen all the time.
Unless there is a sign up that says “No Trespassing,” there is no law broken, anymore than if someone walks up my driveway and knocks on the door. Was there a “No Trespassing” sign clearly posted on the driveway? I doubt it.
Second, I have the right to belch, burp, pick my nose, grab my crotch, etc. when interacting with someone. That doesn’t make my behavior “constitutional.” These black “victims” would be far fewer if they simply acted cordial.
Oh, so now, you were not only an attorney, but you were a Prosecutor.....got it!
I can tell you that we routinely dropped cases based on the concept of “abated by arrest.” In other words, we knew that the cops on occasion made questionable arrests and that the arrest itself was enough punishment for the defendant whether a crime
LOL! So you busted the balls of a known innocent citizen, forcing them to spend monies on legal defense, knowing full well they were innocent just to "teach them a lesson". A lesson from what? Make sure that uppity N####r stays in line?
You may have been a lawyer and a questionable Prosecutor, but by your own admission, you were nothing but a political hack who had no respect for the rule of law that protects all Americans.
How many times have we witnessed the same "Prosecutors" with your twisted mentality going after Trump?
It isnt just that.
Some of these kids get the confrontational attitude from somebody. And that somebody is the academy they go to.
I agree...
In order to arrest someone in a home or on their property rather than in a public place absent consent or exigent circumstance, POLICE OFFICERS MUST HAVE A WARRANT!
Now go back to law school, you obviously slept thru that class.....
These black “victims” would be far fewer if they simply acted cordial.
"Oh lordy mister po-leaze officer sir, wez dont wants no troubles round hears partz, we just being on our porch shucking and jivn like us blackies want ta do. But iffn youze says we be grown' that there weed not on our property, you probably be right, plez dont beat on me to hard, sir when youze arrest me."
That kind of "cordial"?
