Police Stop, Handcuff Every Adult at Intersection in Search for Bank Robber

[03trubluGT]

Quoted for its being the unadulterated truth that it is.

This.



And the fact that bitching about it online will make it all better..






With that said, I'm not comfortable with a "blanket" search of all cars. A choke point, maybe, but to stop all cars and cuff everyone is waaaaayyy outside the parameters of a legal search IMHO. The ends does not justify the means.

And here they go. Some of you will take this out of context and somehow make it sound like I fully agree with this tactic....

Poor Matt is so misunderstood. Of course, since it is his words that are always being misinterpreted, maybe he should do a better job of choosing which ones he uses in the future?

Why the fucking handcuffs? feel free to glance into my car and see that there are no fucking bank robbers, but handcuffs? Get fucking bent.

What the fuck is wrong with you if you are okay with this? People, this is one small step away from tossing you into a camp and then gassing you.
Do not let the goddamned government and some goddamned cop take YOUR rights away.

Let it be known to all of you wonderful officers on the board(keep in mind I have a bro that is one also) you had better be careful overstepping your badge. Your head comes apart as easily as the next guy's.

Yet it's said I should stop posting these because it's nothing to see. Everyone should get absolutely PISSED about this and cops more so.

I would hope they still had their receipt and showed them that they made a withdraw no less then how long their little search took. But who knows probably would have be confiscated anyways during their "investigation."

I can't remember the last time I kept a receipt for a bank withdraw. Or anything honestly.

I shouldn't have to carry around "papers" to prove to you it's my money.

PS - I know you take a lot of these threads personally, and sometimes they are personal. But I'm talking about LE in general, not you specifically. I know you work hard at your (thankless) job and I respect you for that.

But I do think the power afforded LE and other government entities has tipped the scales and I would like to see it revert back. Otherwise we're just living under a fascist regime. Freedom means something to me, and part of that means the bad guys actually have to commit the crime, get caught by legal means, and receive fair treatment in a trial. There are a lot of anecdotes of LE that aren't willing to play by those rules and it pisses me off.

You can look up the "Pendulum Theory" and check how rights will swing over time from liberal, to conservative, and back again. It's the ebb and flow of the thought processes at the current time.

Instead of letting it piss you off, take some sort of action. You can be a reserve officer and keep your day job, you can take law classes, participate in some activism, or anything else.

There is nothing more satisfying than putting bad guys in jail knowing you played by the countless rules that the bad guy doesn't have to.

I wished I could find the image of an old poster from the 80/90's that was a police officer in uniform that was standing up and had a ball and chain, was handcuffed, gagged, and blindfolded. The caption read "Now go out there and do a good job".

So yeah that is a bunch of b/s getting handcuffed for no apparent reason. So what is a citizen suppose to do?

If i ever get pulled over and I am asked if I will consent to a search of my vehicle my answer is always No. And for those that are like, "What is the harm in searching if your have nothing to hide?"....it is the principle of the matter. This is not Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, etc. I do not have to submit to an illegal search because the Constitution says I do not have to.

And is there a law to make it illegal to carry cash over a certain amount? If I go withdraw 15k out of my account in cash and get pulled over, the po-po will actually confiscate it?

Some small departments are using it as a money grabbing tactic. I would love to have that happen to me so I could triple my money. It's better than Vegas baby!

Or you could quit being a pathetic person who has nothing good to say. Did your mommy and daddy hate you as a child?

Why must you run off everyone in your relationships but be able to carry out this internet facade?

LOL, says the guy with something to constantly prove and a chip on his shoulder the size of the Titanic. Were you the fat kid growing up or something?

I was the fat kid pounding your scrawny ass for trying to make yourself popular by making fun of me.

Gee, I see things haven't changed...
