I didn't read the entire article - does it mention anywhere that this is also a military installation?
Oh...my...God!
I don't like a police state, and I'm not defending the action of the officer. But I will say that if an officer grabs your camera, then I think it will be difficult for a citizen to subsequently remove the memory card. This just doesn't ring true for me.
I have the feeling that this woman's rendition of the story may not be 100% accurate.
Why did you change the title?
So, apparently this is in New York state? Not that you’d know that from the story.
I’m sorry but as a word, “liblandia” just looks dirty.
Ping.
If true?
Some people need killin....
What is incredulous about this?
If you have ever met a power-tripping petty tyrant with a badge you know this type of abuse is fairly routine.
I speak from experience, in more than one city and state.
If you have never met one of these putrid punks you may still believe the fairy tale that all LE have only our best interest at heart.
In fact it appears the majority now see everything in an “US vs THEM!” light.
You are either a cop, or suspect.
If the article is factual, it’s pretty clear the “sheriff” here is a liberal brown-shirt.
Hopefully he loses the lawsuit, and his job.
Only 'terrorists' the modern liberal Police State knows is 'right wingers'... I'll bet he would NEVER stereotype a black or a Muslim with that level of contempt. Time to sue?
Not so unbelievable...Long Island, New York Police State at its F....g best! It is long past time to take our country back from the evil POS leftist freedom haters. I hope she wins big on her suit. And I hope heads roll...castration and incarceration is too good for them, but a place to start.
Assuming for the sake of argument that it is all true, if I were her, and I won, I would deduct $10 million in settlement for each policeman involved that the state agreed to fire without pay and retirement benefits. That would go a long way towards providing satisfaction.
Let’s hear it from the LEO and LEO-connected apologists here about how honorable the profession is.
There are several updates to this story on the website of the attorney’s handling this case for her. I suggest that they are worth reading...here is the link...

Some of these stories read like they were written just to yank us.
I got to the part about the $13k and ran completely out of grains of salt.
Stopped reading right there.
I knew I had seen this story before. I think it was posted on FR at the time. A Google search of her name found this story from Aug 2009. http://www.newsday.com/sheriffs-woman-arrested-at-air-base-had-guns-in-car-1.1345260 Also this one from Feb 2011 about how the city atty. failed to file an answer to a summary judgment. http://www.topix.com/forum/city/southampton-ny/THPAMC4EQETU6HQDN This is the latest link I found, dated Mar 2012 http://www.murthalawfirm.com/updates-nancy-genovese-case
She sounds like a nut case, who goes to the range with their rifle, while carrying $13,000.00 in cash in their purse? This story involves so many people and agencies and odd actions, that it seems more like the conspiracy that would be needed in the JFK assassination aftermath.
“Despite the woman’s protests, Nancy was physically moved by the two men wearing “Suffolk County Emergency Response Team” jackets to another room. There, another woman who identified herself as a nurse administered, without Nancy’s consent, two injections into Nancy’s arm. One of the men held Nancy’s head so that she could not see what was being done, while the other man held Nancy’s arm down. Despite her demands to know what they were doing, no one answered her. Nancy experienced bruising and swelling in her neck and arm long after she was released from custody.
Nancy was then escorted by the two men into a cell area, where she was forced to disrobe and put on a “suicide gown”, consisting of a heavy, jacket-type blanket that fastens around the body with Velcro. Nancy was not permitted to wear undergarments under the blanket. Nancy was required to wear this same “suicide gown” for the next several days. After three days, Nancy was evaluated by a psychiatrist who determined her to be of sound and stable mind, and immediately removed her from suicide watch.”
City council meeting talking about tis case:
I wonder what people would say if her name was Fatima or Saffiya?
