if you audio tape it, i think it would be proper etiquette to inform him that you are recording, and perhaps even put the recorder on the table/desk. Secretely recording a priavate meeting although not illegal if you are part of the conversation is socially wrong in my opinion.

I will be recording and the mayor will be notified first thing.It is a public matter anyway.

The Mayors secretary called this morning saying she canceled our 1pm meeting but the Mayor did call around noon.He said he was nervous about people walking around OCing and didn't wantEVERYONE doing it.I assured him that would not be the case because EVERYONE does not believe in it and those who do are not the majority.I expressed the legality and some statistics,the fact that we educate people ,we have educated the WPD and that we desire that the WPD would treat us as law abiding citizens and change the 911 protocol for MWAG.I talked about the people that have stopped me in public and asked questions and my providing info to them of the law.That was pretty much it.It was a cordial conversation and he said he will speak to Dwyer about it.One step down, many to go! God Bless! Hamaneggs.

I'm glad you had the opportunity to speak with the Mayor and try to educate him on OC. However, I wish he would have at least tried to reschedule the meeting. This tells me that he does not take this seriously and wants to avoid dealing with the issues.

We will continue to OC heavily in Warren until it is no longer an issue. I do think there has been a lot of progress but at the same time there is still more work to be done.

Thank you for your efforts hamaneggs! Lets meet up sometime soon, maybe a little OC lunch

Horrible. Just what I expected. :cuss::cuss::cuss: I could picture him talking to the chief. I'm doubtful it will have any impact but it was worth the try. These guys are anti's.

It doesn't matter what he WANTS. Sure, he has the right to feel that way, but it's legal and if EVERYONE wants to do it they can.

I agree. I also suggest not meeting with him and instead just going ahead with the civil suit. Discussing it will possibly just give away tactics that give you an advantage in court. JMO.

From what I seen most of the lawyers want up front cash for civil litigation. I've yet to see anyone from here go forward with one. I'm assuming it's because lack of funds. I'd be in the same ball park if it was me. I wouldnt have a sum of cash to drop on such a thing. Something needs to be done! :cuss::banghead:

You can file a lawsuit by yourself. I would research on how to do it, but it has been done.
But could you represent yourself? I mean if you have all your "ducks in a row" and you are a good public speaker would this be possible?

I'd like to be there. Just depends on what day and what time.
