The other half probably put us there...and are keeping 'track' of us!

you often hear rescind but not adequately compensated.

If I told you, then I would have to...well, you know the rest!

Have I ever been jailed? That I can answer: 'yes'.

Only half? :)

My nephew received a settlement within the limits that the Republic of Texas places on claims against government institutions.

Cop did not go to jail (that I am aware of), but did lose his job.

which group do you affiliate with? ;)

About a year ago, a woman had her phone confiscated by police, because she filmed an arrest. There was such public outrage, they gave the phone back. And as a little slap to her, she was fined. That was rescinded.

ok, what about the body cavity searchers in texas? you texans have to atone for that

give us more facts gw. was there restitution?

Or soon will be. Hence, aliases, lol!

Jeez!

I am beginning to think that half of us in here are either on the lam, or in the witness protection program! ;-)

Texas law enforcement can be just as corrupt. My nephew was walking in an open field in the early afternoon, wearing a pair of cut-offs and no shirt in Covington, TX when a squad car approached and told him to stop over the P.A. system. He stopped, turned to face the car and put his hands into the air. The police officer then exited his vehicle, drew his gun and shot him.

Luckily, for my nephew, the guy was as incompetent of a marksman as he was a policemen and only hit him in one of his extended arms.

whoa. that's a story I want to read

Actually I haven't had any problems since my brother finally got rid of his Lillian. She's a very pious catholic lay nun who lies, cheats, steals and commits SSI fraud. During the beginning of the end I had some 'issues' with the LEO's until I told the undersheriff that some of his deputies were guilty of misfeasance and under color of authority.

"I always say.." how often are you stopped, pirate? lol

Don't forget that they have tape recorders in their top pockets. I always say 1st thing "Is this being recorded". Then they know I know. I got them to correct a police report because he didn't write what I said and there was recorded evidence of the fact he was changing my statement.

It is clearly a violation of 1st amendment rights. If you cannot film a police encounter taking place, then street cameras should not be allowed. It goes both ways. and now policeman wear cameras attached to their sunglasses. If they can, I can.

Arresting the reverse surveillers has a chilling effect. If 'they' don't have to be held accountable for your actions 'they' will take what ever actions 'they' choose.
