At my department? a handful for sure. At most 1-2%
I imagine that would go into what they think the person littered. I.e. when you get pulled over for littering by tossing drugs out of a car, etc.
If it were here, I know for a fact that’s what our county sheriff would have his officers claiming.
You could be right.
That doesn’t sound legal. Seems like something that could be proven very quickly in court.
Thankfully the age of cameras is upon us.
I can totally see an upstate sheriff advising his deputies to do just that, especially in the sticks.
Not totally cop related, I had someone use my information to generate a false ID card up there after I moved away. I went back to figure out what was going on. I showed the clerk my license, birth certificate, bills, etc. to prove it was me. She agreed & got a deputy involved. I then asked if I could see the picture on the clerk’s computer screen to see if I could recognize who did this. Both the clerk & a deputy sheriff to whom I gave my information said that I couldn’t see the person due to privacy regulations.
My info was verified by the clerk, yet I couldn’t see who illegally made an ID for the other person’s privacy reasons.
That was bizarre to me.
Littering is a crime, so if they did it, they gave the officers probably cause for the stop.
It would also be on dash cam.
Key takeaway though... if you did litter, and it’s on dashcam, you don’t really have a leg to stand on considering littering is illegal.
I get this, just seems like the resultant finding could be deemed inadmissible. But, I’ve never even seen a full episode of ‘Law & Order.’
The personnel involved in a pull over for a littering violation seems a tad excessive, though. Kind of goes back to what was discusses earlier about needing multiple cops for stops.
A 2nd officer’s body cam footage of the Columbus, OH shooting has been released.
I can’t comment to the number of officers that responded, but I couldn’t see the stop resulting in finding firearms thrown out. The rules about searching your auto are very different than the rules about searching your home.
I did not know this.
Yeah, there’s an automobile exemption to search warrants. With regards to your constitutional rights, courts have ruled that you have less of an expectation of privacy in a car on a public road than you do in your own home.
But my glove compartment is locked and so is the trunk around the back, and I know my rights so you’re gonna need a warrant for that.
Thanks!
What a bitch.
I mean, I can’t search anything... but good luck with the cops on that if you’ve given them “probable cause”.
Dude....
They have lots of tricks to get into your car. You're really in a very weak position at a traffic stop if an officer wants to be a bastard.
What do you hide in there ?
Only @calodo2003 gets cool points.
Apologies to Jay Z. It’s been a long day.
Just signed a contract to sell my houseSilent part out loud here...
No excuse.Apologies. It’s been a long day.
But congrats!
He was name dropped in that article I posted the other day. Dude is an absolute dick and nobody should be laughing at that
Don’t be dropping your fancy hippity hoppity rap lyrics here
I forgot all about this.
1) that’s fair
2) thank you kindly. Market going nuts means we will make a nice profit. It’ll all go towards paying off my wife’s NP degree and my master’s though (damnit)
I need to reread it now that I have an understanding of how much a cnut this guy is.
Oh.... MASSIVE cnut.
One of my colleagues is about as pro-2A libertarian as you can possibly be and even he hates this dude’s guts
Christ. For what reason?
He’s read the guy’s book that’s cited in that article.
I feel like this cuntmuscle was highlighted on Last Week Tonight?
I tickles me how utterly confused anyone not from SEC country likely is by this little side bar conversation.
What's this new shooting in NC?
Well, it is Thursday.
Could be justifiable, but no footage has been released yet...

It's good that there is so much scrutiny now. Someone was complaining that they don't release the cam footage right away. @Skizzo do you know if that's a legality thing or just a policy? I think the way forward is for footage to go to an independent agency right away to foster public trust. Delaying the release always seems to look suspicious.
If he was just fleeing by car, and not aiming it at officers, then likely unjustified, at least in my view.
Release of footage is typically down to state law
