Did I miss something in the Goldberg case Rich? he was let go wasn't he? I was under the impression that the charges against him were dropped. Or are we talking about the suit he brought against the town? I read that transcript and it doesn't sound to me like the judge said anything about LEO's being able to do that.
Yes, his charges were dropped. In the latest go-around with the courts we had Judge Underhill state a bunch of nonsense about how he should have left his gun in his car (the DPS loves that!) and about how Attorney Baird was wrong about rights quite simply because this was a GUN. And as we all know, guns are evil, etc, etc.
There is not a lot of substance to Underhill's remarks, and I don't think there are many judges who would agree with his ruling, but we will see when the appeal is heard.
As for OSPD or any other PD thinking that it somehow means that detaining and arresting someone for printing, or to somehow bridge logic even further that they have the right to detain people who are OCing (which Goldberg was not), they really need to go back to the academy and learn a little bit more about Terry stops and RAS.
What I find delightful about the OSPD situation is that the police on scene repeatedly tell me I am being detained because this is a 'concealed carry state'. So no matter what, their premise for detainment is based on their own ignorance of the basic firearms laws in this state. I am glad the voice recorder was running.
