Arrested for killing a cop!

[johngriff]

His fingerprints are now on file.

If he ever applies for a job with a background check, he will come up as a suspect for killing a cop.

In our ever advancing age of free information sharing, he's basically fucked for any high powered/secure job.

Writs of Assistance.

Look it up.

Not all that fucking different 1770 to 2007.

oh shit rep wars

What were you wearing? Blue jeans with a red or black shirt? Man, If I walked down the street, I would never see something like that. Unless he had on some knee highs with a s&m suit holding a black umbrella and that matched the description, then I would have thought him to be suspect.

That is ridiculous and sadly, the only way to reprimand the cops if they don't own up to it, is to sue. Not because of money, but because of horrible police work.

I was wearing some black shorts,black shoes,and a gray undershirt with a all black sweater with a red and white stripe down the side...
I guess the crackhead that shot the cop was at the same sale I was!

Ive always wondered if bein wrongfully accussed and filed and then let go would do something like that.. is that possible?

That i would be upset for... I would also be upset for the hours lost when they detained you and any embarrassment that might have caused...

I always wondered if your by self at home working on ur car, lets say u got ur car in pieces, garage open and your front door locked, and the cops come and arrested you.. would they jus leave all ur stuff like that?? pretty much opening your house up for any thing to happen???

Ive had my share of cops, some are nice, some are pushing it.. Ive had my fair share of cops, like having a neighbor call and say i was on his roof, then cops visit me while im in my garage, and randomly ask to pop my hood cuz he wants to show his buddy cop my car.. grrrrrr

I understand they are doin thier job, and some need to be strict in order to keep people in check, otherwise we would live in total chaos if no one enforced laws, but come on!! lmao

theres no such thing as self defense against a cop trying to arrest you. Its called resisting arrest. Trust me, dont do it. If anything just bend over and take, or theyll fuck you even harder. They are THE LAW, like it or not, theres nothing you can do in the heat of the moment. thats what courtrooms are for. kinda sucks, but shit happens. As far as not telling you why you are being detained and not reading your rights, that is illegal, and since they wasted your time and broke the law in the process, I would pursue this. If cops can start breaking laws, then we start living in a police state.

Imma have to try to remember that and keep my cool next time a cop greets me..

Sometimes ive had interest in possibly joining law force.. cant beat em, join em approach... but it just doesnt look as glorifying as it does in movies.. everyone either hates you or is scared of you..

only reason I would do it is you get a little bit of immunity from other cops... but having that doesnt seem to me like it would be worth being considered a dick, and the paper work they have to do.

Except for the fact that they didn't shoot first and ask questions later. They were searching for a violent suspect in a shooting. They find someone in the vicinity who matches the description. They detained him until they determined that he was not the suspect. We know that he was just sitting there working on his car. The police didn't know that. Is it so outlandish that a perp might duck into an open garage and act innocent, hoping the cops will drive right by? What if the person in the garage really was the perp? Should the cop not investigate it just because he appears to be working on a car? "Oh, looks like he's busy, that means he can't be the criminal"

It was just an unfortunate coincidence. Sucks for the OP, but the cops had a duty to investigate. Maybe they didn't do it perfectly, but I haven't seen any evidence yet to warrant a lawsuit. They didn't read him his Miranda rights, but that would only come into play if they tried to use something he said in court. Then whatever he said before he was read his rights would be inadmissable. Not being read Miranda does not equal a Free Lawsuit.

You can't hold someone for as long as you want. They would have to show that it really took them that long to figure out it wasn't him. I'm not saying the initial arrest wasn't unjustified. I just think holding him for that long of a period is ridiculous.

Any given police officer is not the law. They enforcers of the written law. Today's methods of law enforcement is now being questioned and looked upon negatively. The US Constitution is, seemingly, no longer relavent in the time we live with the passage of several "Acts."

There is an old saying. "To have security, sacrifice freedom. To have freedom, sacrifice security."
