It IS a "License to Fire Cannon", isn't it?:banghead::banghead::banghead: It's LTCF, not LTFC! :lol:
Just kidding, you know... making fun of the initialism pedantry of OCDO.
I would love to know more about this "street incident report that only police officers can see".
I wonder if this would show up under a FOIA request?
You mentioned the word "attorney". I would assume this means a FOIA is underway, but one never knows, so I'm just asking. The reason for the initial stop should pop up as a result.
I'm also curious as to what it is.
Since the 2009 G20 meeting in Pittsburgh, and the MASSIVE militarized LE presence that came with it, it looks like the Pittsburgh PD has adopted similar tactics (entrapment, bullying, unlawful detention, brutality used to provoke responses, etc) against their own citizens.
The problem isn't so much racism, or rudeness. The problem is that after the jackbooted display of oppressive force that was perpetrated during the 2009 G20 meeting, the local LEA's have adopted that attitude as SOP.
The problem is something MUCH deeper than rudeness or ignorance of the law. It is an INTENTIONAL militarization of the civilian police force, and that attitude seems to be catching on in EVERY American city as SOP after big globalist events like the G20.
Good thing you weren't carrying. We might have been reading an obituary rather than an "event report"...
Good luck. I hope you have a good lawyer, and had a voice recorder rolling for this incident. Hopefully you will be rightfully (and substantially) compensated for these egregious violations of your 2A and 4A rights.
Well, if you can't get any disciplinary action against the offiers after you get the dash cams, then I'd suggest making copies and sending them to ALL the local media. The media tends to eat this sort of stuff up and the "racial" component is JUSt the sort of thing the media likes to nail the police on.
We need to "take of the gloves" folks, and stop "playing nice". Use the media. Use the internet. Use social networking and YouTube. The camera is the new pitchfork, and we need to start thinking and acting like REAL activists, and stop going along to get along with this sort of officially-sanctioned thuggery...
I'll be in and around the Pittsburgh area for a few weeks in August (camping). I can see that I'll have to be sure I pack a video camera and bring a friend along for my "trips into town".
Good luck, Sig...
I told him "I have a Sportsman Firearms Permit and I was just carrying that firearm while fishing.
Why don't you have your LTCF? I recommend you get it quickly.
Coopers Lake campground, the first two weeks of August. It's a HUGE event that's held every year for the Society for Creative Anachronism, which is a world-wide medieval/renaissance historical reenactment group. Last year there were over 10,000 people in attendence.
Imagine a Renn faire the size of a small town, but we're actually is interested in portraying history correctly, and everyone is armed to the teeth with edged weapons, ranging from daggers to two-handed Claymores...
Needless to say, it's a VERY polite event...
I will be OCing one of my 3 rapiers most days. I have two modern repros (which are custom-made "combat-grade" models, not those cheap, crappy Pakistani swords) and one REAL period rapier of 1580's German provenance...
That sounds like a great time.
Have you ever been to the Renaissance festival outside of Annapolis Maryland at the Anne Arundel fairgrounds?
That one is probably the nest Renaissance festival I have ever been to.
The preceding posters hint at something that came to mind last evening.
I wonder if you were profiled. Not in the general racial sense, but in a criminal sense. For example, I've read of one Florida or Georgia chief who instructshiscops tostop every northbound car with two Latino males driving exactly the speed limit--characteristics of drug runners. The chief defended his tactics although totally unconstitutional.
How is following up on a known drug smuggler habit unconstitutional?
Recognizing a "known drug smuggler habit" is not RAS for a traffic stop, and is not probable cause for a search.
Thank goodness, because if police were allowed to profile like this, every middle aged white man wearing a Hawaiian shirt would be stopped and searched for weapons.
I wear them every weekday in July, and most Fridays the rest of the year!
OKokokokok... I might be armed on occasion. But, thankfully, drugs have never been involved.
