As I mentioned in Mainsail's thread about privacy decisions, the OPD is starting to play a bit hard now.
Lt. Wilson is claiming a right to "officer safety" and falling back on the old "warrants alarm" BS. Further states about opening up my backpack without my permission "where would they put the gun?" I said "how about back in my holster where it lawfully belongs?" Then he goes into the usual "what if you pulled it on the officers as they walked off?" This after acknowledging that I am an "upstanding citizen" and clearly not a danger to the community. He added "we all just want to be able to go home at night" and goes into how people can be unstable, to which I responded "Like the deputy in wisconsion or David Brame in Tacoma?" I wish I could have seen him turn red at that but we were talking on the phone. He assures me how officers are "highly trained" blah blah blah blah
I tell him I will continue to OC, and will probably do it more often now. He says the people of olympia will "have to get used to the idea."
He told me when I do have a meeting that I can only bring other people along "if the other officers consent"
The other officers are just puppets doing what they have been programmed to do. I am going after the Puppet Master now. As soon as I hear back from Wilson next weekI will be going to the Chief of Police and the City Attorney.
OTOH I am only working a few flexible hours Saturday. Anyone up for a picnic at Percival Landing?
I can be reached after 7pm at Three Six Oh Four Five One Nine Seven One Zero
Am trying to install and configure a decent Linux build on my computer so am offline except for public terminals.
