Where are the guns now? Guess!
His mistake was allowing the police to search his vehicle...what reason did they have to do so? Probably none. As the article suggests, he thought there would be no harm in doing so.
Also, what about his right to travel?
“It is illegal to possess a firearm anywhere in the District other than the home”.
OK, how do you LEGALLY get it there?
I know I am an extremist, but I think it is time to make it a Federal capital crime for police officers and department heads to deny the constitution rights of citizens.
The second amendment that protects the right to posess weapons which includes guns shall not be infringed. If liberals chose to do that they are treasonous, and the death penality is due. That would take care of that.
The wording that should be used in answering this unwarranted requestions should be:
“I DO NOT consent to a search of my vehicle, or person, am I free to go?”
In addition since the Lt. was under orders to report to a military facility, and gthat he was in transit to his duty station, the D.C. cops and legal system have wrongfully detained and charged this member of the armed forces who IS under orders to conduct business in that area...
I wonder if the Army’s legal folks are looking at this and providing counsel, much less a thorough thrashing of the D.C. idiots commissioned to enforce such un-Constitutional, and SCOTUS reviewed right to keep and bear arms in that district...
By the way the statement at the lead in to this post was given to me by a lawyer friend who is familiar with the methods used to coerce people into submitting to these un-warranted searches...
Never in your statement there should you utter the words “yes” or “no”, I know it is hard to contemplate, but that is exactly what they are fishing for...
Everything is being recorded, both audio and video in some cases...
Once you utter the word “yes”, they can stop the tape when you say “Yes, I do mind...”, or “No, I do not want you to search the vehicle...”
It can and has been used in courts around the country that when you say “yes”, that is permission alone, and when you say “no”, you are saying “No, I do not mind...”
It is a play on words, and in jurisdictions where the right to keep and bear arms, in this case, is severely restricted, you will see these tactics utilized by their commissioned law enforcement officiers...
It is an unfortunate case, and it is hard to fight...It all depends upon what you are prepared to do about it, and what you are willing to sacrifice for it...
You may beat the rap, but you will take the ride for your standing up for your rights...
He probably would have gotten in trouble in NJ if they had found him.
Hmm, it’s this kind of blind obedience to the law, without any kind of rational thinking, that makes me a bit unsure of how dear leader’s potential dictatorship will be taken.
One thing that has me hopeful is the fact he doesn’t have any force to back up his claim if he grabbed power...but now it appears he won’t have any police force try to stop it either.
But hey...Officer Friendly is our FRIEND!!! He’s there “to protect and serve”.
What a joke.
