Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tale of dealing with the cops

Brother in law calls this weekend from rural La Paz Co Arizona. Mexican guy swipes late model pickup from brother in law's buddy's yard about 5 pm. The swipee, late 70's in age, in a Jeep, pursues the swiper Mexican in stolen pickup, hot pursuit about 10 miles at high speed on 2 lane highway. The swipee is a very experienced off road racing competitor and he performs a PIT maneuver and the stolen pickup spins out of control off the highway. Mexican swiper flees scene into a pistachio orchard...in the meantime the swipee has called the brother in law, he arrives at the scene, .44 Blackhawk in hand, says, I'll see if I can apprehend the Mex...you stay here until the sheriff arrives. So 74 yr old bil is not keeping up with the Mex, he fires a shot in the air and hollers 'alto'...to no avail, Mex can't drive too well but he can run. Cops nab Mex a half hour later, hitchhiking. Cutting most of the dialogue out, cops issue speeding ticket to the swipee, chew ass over endangering the motoring public, temporarily confiscate the bil's Blackhawk to "check legal ownership" and chew ass about the dangers of firing a firearm in the air in farm country where people could get hit when the bullet returns to earth. Mexican released on 3,000 bail and has disappeared already. Land of the free, and home of the brave. Free stuff and brave wetbacks.

Welcome to the DEM utopia.

SNAFU

The normal for the last couple years.

Should have invoked "No habla LEO". They were just waiting for someone to incriminate themselves.

I guess the moral of the story is to not shoot in the air?

Is the Sheriff a democrat or a republican?

Dementia Joe's open border policies will help middle class Americans. Ask the Dems on here

This surprise you? Cops are scared of Mexicans just like you are.

No, the moral is "don't talk to cops". That's what lawyers get paid for.

Messing with the white guy won't likely spark a riot.

Sucks they let the thief off so light. That being said,

What does being an off road racer have to do with knowing how to safely execute a pit maneuver? Is that thing they do? I might have found a sport worth watching!

The orchard was a good place for that thief to take up permanent residence as fertilizer.

So they did their job and a judge set his bail too low? I mean you do understand Police Officers do not set bail or even determine if bail is appropriate....or are you that retarded?


Cops caught'em and arrested them. They didn't arrest your dumbass friend or take his [bleep] boomer gun.


Grow the f uck up also tell the moron to lock his [bleep] ford and to not leave the keys in it.

Will the insurance pay for damage to the truck given the circumstance that the owner initiated the collision?

Also, was the truck a Ford? My Ex BiL has had two Ford trucks stolen from in front of his house, says they prob’ly have YouTube’s telling you how to do it.

Don’t worry when this country over ran with illegals again, people in Arizona will slap their foreheads and go we done ph ucked up. Trump
Made it too safe for them folks down there..

He was supposed to find out today what the insurance wanted to do, rear bumper bent up, right rear fender dented, not crumpled. Yes, it is a 2016 Ford F250.
A more cynical person might observe, La Paz county is always teetering on broke, so set the bail low enough so the Mex can get a bond, Mex skips, County gets 3 grand, issue a speeding ticket to the swipee, County probably gets another couple hundred from the ticket, County is only out about 80 bucks 24 hr for per diem for Mex, most of which is reimbursed by the state AZ. No court or prosecution costs. Net profit, around 3 grand Mex gone. Maybe insurance fixes pickup. Mrs Mex and los ninos never miss a meal. Jesus, what a system.

Them border counties are as corrupt as the ones on the other side of the border.

Motor vehicle theft is a low level property crime. He’s lucky he got an azz chewing and not a charge for reckless driving or worse.

Here in S.Texas, the illegals are running all over our place, we are seeing 6 to 10 almost every day, the border is open again. they know no one will stop them, just like when O'Butthead was Pres. Rio7

'xactly. Bootlickers can't see this because their eyes are always on the ground.
