I was illegally detained this morning by 3 Fairfax County Police officers for open carrying. I have a voice recording of most of the encounter. All 3 officers are from the George Mason District. After being released I went and talked to their supervisor.

For obvious reasons I will not be posting any more details at this time. I will update after I get all the info I will be requesting through the FOIA request and finalize my formal complaint.

Since you have the recording and since you have announced publicly that you have the recording, it will become public record in any proceeding that either they or you bring. You might as well post it.

IANAL

Doctor

That's what they call the guy who graduates last in his class at medical school.

Ever notice how psychiatry students tend to self-diagnose?

Just sayin'. Good luck.

As my username suggests, I am pretty sure I know the law regarding these issues. :) I will not be releasing stuff bit by bit. Everything will be done at once as stated in the OP.

You are already releasing stuff bit-by-bit. Your first post is a release of information.

Whatever. Moving on.

This is most disturbing. If this is the precinct I suspect it is, that is where VCDL meetings are held (anyone please feel free to correct me if I am in error on this). At these meetings, there can be well over 50 armed citizens present.

I anxiously await hearing more about this encounter.

This is disappointing. I've had great experiences with FCPD

It'd be disappointing if true ...

However since the OP is unwilling to share any particulars whatsoever ...

"... For obvious reasons I will not be posting any more details at this time. I will update after I get all the info I will be requesting through the FOIA request and finalize my formal complaint ... "

... I'm guessing we can ignore this one at least until late-Winter.

Geese Ed. Why are you sending postcards on unverified complaints? Why not wait until you know enough about the incident to be indignant?

1. Ed sent a post card with more details than the OP posted.
2. There have been no deleted posts from this thread.
3. The OP has not edited any of his posts in this thread.

Conclusion #1: Ed has some additional information that came from somewhere other than this thread.

Conclusion #2: Ed is making stuff up.

I doubt it's #2.
