And that is the legal, CONSTITUTIONAL authority of the State of Ohio and any municipality you might have been in at the time. It is NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, anything even remotely resembling a battlefied upon which one should take up arms to exert Constitutional rights.
I believe that will be tough to do.

Well, he's already dead, so that would be a bit redundant...
I'm trying to geta job with the Department of Redundancy Department....
Well, I guess the only way you could really 100% prove it is to ask JimRob to check the records for whatever his freeper name was and see if his real name and state matches up, but I doubt that's something he'd be willing to do. In any case, the freeper that posted the deleted thread about this vouched for him and said that he/she had talked on the phone with him very often over the last X numbers of years.
Back about twenty years ago, the FDA told the Texas Department of Corrections that the drugs they used for lethal injection were both safe and effective. The headline for the column was "One out of Two Ain't Bad..."
Uh, the dead policemen was not OHP(Ohio Highway Patrol). He was a Massilon city cop, who now has three children left behind due to a senseless shooting over minor traffic stop.

-- Your protest that he is 'not a freeper' only encourages nutcakes like CJ to spout their hysterical hype and make the situation look even more ridiculous. 68 po tpaine
Guess what, tpaine? CJ is right on this one.
Guess what Dboy? I was commenting to the Mod about CJs 'bloody drivel' banning hype, not:
State and local traffic laws, as long as there are conducted with probable cause as the basis for a stop, are not a Constitutional issue, but are the realm of states and municipalities under the 10th Amendment. Doing 72 in a 60 is probable cause.
As usual, you're so eager to hype your positions , that you can't be bothered to actually read my posts.
Waco and Ruby Ridge are sound positions to decry the actions of the federal government. This, however, is NOT a position to do such. Barring other information, the guy was dead wrong here. If he wants to die for his cause, that his his business. But killing a cop for his warped perception of the cause, that is just plain immoral, wrong and insane.
And you're insane to think that my post to CJ & the Mod implied any such position. - Get an emotional hold on yourself.
I know in some places car chases have been questioned because breakneck speeds are dangerous to everyone else on the road. I just think since they had his drivers license number and license plates, they could have handled it differently. The cops should be able to handle citizens who are stressed out or over the edge. Once they chased someone to the end of this dead end street and I was afraid I was going to witness something pretty awful but luckily it ended okay. I didn't think that case was handled the best either.
Why, because I want to know what transpired at the traffic stop?
Because I don't think that cops are always smart, or right, or good?
I'd like to stay and play, but I've got to go to the gym.
LOL. Now that is good dark humor.
I would agree with that ... however, stopping someone for doing 72mph in a 60mph zone fits just about anyone's definition of probable cause for a traffic stop...
And which libertarians inspired this Conservative to kill that cop, genius?
He shoulda read a little bit of Henry David Thoreau. He might be alive today if he had.
Five is more reasonable than one, though, frankly, anything less than ten is petty.
The rule in Texas is ten over on the weekends, fifteen during the week.
Good answer!!! ;<)
Stay safe; stay armed.
