Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Assaulted & Arrested For Not Showing ID To Cops

That's four sides....you fuggers are square



But i'm voting for the guy who says we need PROBABLE CAUSE for a terry stop

You realize the only reason I'm quoting you,is to piss a certain someone off.

Like he doesn't have you on ignore too

Well schit.

Let's assume that he was filming or acting in a way that would cause suspicion to a police officer. The officer walks up and immediately asks for ID. Why?

Here's a cup of "None of Your Damn Business".

And then there's the side that says they didn't read the whole thread so let's go over the whole thing again from the beginning.

Hear hear.

This appears to be a set up to me & well planned. It seems some people are just looking for a way to discredit law enforcement. Under the circumstances it doesn't seem inappropriate to me to ask for ID. The cop was not aggressive until the jerk got the confrontation he staged.
I work in armed security at so called secure facilities in DC & the surrounding area. One facility had a meeting with many flag officers & politician's attending. As the dignitaries began to be picked up by limos a black man walked up carefully staying on public property. He began glaring at everyone & furiously texting on his phone. He was also glancing at a group of people at a Metro stop down the street. Probably, at someone using a camera phone. We called 911 & several of us began acting as a barrier between said dignitaries & jerk. Cops & SWAT arrived & the jerk ran away. Another example of someone trying to create a LE controversy. After about 30 minutes the jerk returned on public property as we monitored his movement on security cameras. The point is that with todays unstable nut jobs who is a risk & who isn't.

This appears to be a set up to me & well planned.

It may well have been, but we either have our rights or we don't. If we do, and if they are routinely being violated, certain people will begin making intentional test cases of themselves in order to get legal resolution that will be applicable to the population at large.

It was the same with lunch counter sit-ins in the South when the signs said Whites Only. Blacks would come in in large numbers and sit there just so the police would be called, arrests would be made, and charges filed, thus putting the issue in the courts for resolution as to whether the police could be used to enforce racially discriminatory policies in business.

You have got to be kidding me.

This has NOTHING to do with civil rights. This was a legitimate Terry stop ...

Many Americans consider Terry stops a civil rights issue. See, for example, how they are routinely abused in New York City.

BTW - you are, in fact, now defending a domestic terrorist; a convicted felon who was in violation of parole and court orders and who was video taping the same clinic he plotted to bomb (and carried with the intent to commit murder) a firearm to in order to kill the doctors who worked there.
