“Almon was guilty of the charge for placing another person in fear of bodily injury. “
It seems to me that Almon was the first to have cause for being “in fear of bodily injury”.

Unjust. I hope the appeals court realizes that.

Well that’s American; “Liquor store cops” (whatever those are) creeping around in the dark behind law abiding citizens.

I can’t believe this was in the US. And what the hell is a Liquor Enforcement police and why do they follow people?

Cattabriga's trainee, whose name was not entered into the trial record, corroborated her partner's testimony Nothing like having secret police witnesses.

Methinks Mr. Almon erred in not demanding a jury trial. The specific reason the Founders required a jury is the distrust of judges and magistrates.

And if he instead had not pulled a knife but started running, we all know they would have chased and tackled him, then charged him with resisting arrest. Thugs.
I am pleased to see they printed the cop’s name though... ;-)

Judge Sawako Gardner examined the knife before finding Almon guilty of the class A misdemeanor. "It doesn't matter who was behind you," the judge said, while explaining that Almon was guilty of the charge for placing another person in fear of bodily injury. What a travesty

Why were they following him? The LEO’s were out with concealed weapons (common I know) and taser’s?
Did they just pick some random guy to “tail” for training??
Doesn’t sound like this guy had any cause to be followed by the police.. I didn’t see anywhere that they suspected him of something..

When he responded by yelling "police," Almon folded the knife, clipped it to his belt and complied with all subsequent police orders, Cattabriga testified.He took his life in his hands when he gave them the benefit of the doubt and did that. Anyone who can speak can yell "police." The only positive I can see here is that one more person will understand that governmental authority, as currently practiced, can't be trusted and is not on the side of the people.

“A crime was not committed,” he told the court. “He was protecting himself against unknown people following him.”
“It doesn’t matter who was behind you,” the judge said, while explaining that Almon was guilty of the charge for placing another person in fear of bodily injury.”
So, apparently this judge believes that a person does not have the right to defend himself against suspicious people following him until he is attacked. At which time it would be too late.
Brilliant! Sign him up for Homeland Security.

It doesn't matter who was behind you," the judge said It doesn't? So in this elected or appointed despots mind no citizen has any right to self defense whatsoever?
