She's just mad because the cops took away her spoon.
Right?
Don't want to spend a month in jail then don't have a spaghetti spoon in your car. It's just that easy.

I defer to Ron White's take on being arrested in Florida for possession in the other thread.
As for me, I defer to this:
QUOTE Fourthly. That in article 2nd, section 9, between clauses 3 and 4, be inserted these clauses, to wit, The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience by in any manner, or on any pretext infringed.
The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable.
The people shall not be restrained from peaceably assembling and consulting for their common good, nor from applying to the legislature by petitions, or remonstrances for redress of their grievances.
The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; a well armed, and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country: but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms, shall be compelled to render military service in person.
No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner; nor at any time, but in a manner warranted by law.
No person shall be subject, except in cases of impeachment, to more than one punishment, or one trial for the same office; nor shall be compelled to be a witness against himself; nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor be obliged to relinquish his property, where it may be necessary for public use, without a just compensation.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
The rights of the people to be secured in their persons, their houses, their papers, and their other property from all unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated by warrants issued without probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, or not particularly describing the places to be searched, or the persons or things to be seized.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, to be informed of the cause and nature of the accusation, to be confronted with his accusers, and the witnesses against him; to have a compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
The exceptions here or elsewhere in the constitution, made in favor of particular rights, shall not be so construed as to diminish the just importance of other rights retained by the people; or as to enlarge the powers delegated by the constitution; but either as actual limitations of such powers, or as inserted merely for greater caution.
$1000 and up to a month in jail on top of $1500 in bail. Â Eat a dick, Iowa, along with every other state in grey or cornflower blue. Â Eat a bag of dicks, jackassholes. Eh, maybe cornflower can eat half a bag. Â We weren't smoking in the car (and in fact did not ever in that fucking godforsaken state), no one was operating a motor vehicle in an impaired state (maybe hungover), no one was muling a couple kilos across states lines, no one was attempting to sell or distribute. Â Fucking $20 worth. Â Maybe, MAYBE 1g among us. Â Please fucking tell me what public safety issue was at stake. Â We wanted to get two things in that town: (i) pizza and (ii) the fuck out. Â That penalty for possession of a plant is goddamned absurd and excessive. Â I can't imagine how pathetic, scared, pandering, vote-chasing, and douchey in general a legislature has to be to pass that law. Â I can't fathom how thick, dense, impenetrable, blind, slow, and in the back pocket of a politician that a judge must be to uphold such a law. Â I am unable to process how a prosecutor could be so overzealous, spineless, cowardly, frothing at the mouth to convict someone, and in general dickless
...
... to indict someone over such a bullshit law. Â But what shocks me most is the frontliners, the blues, that have numbed the common sense part of their brain which should have them asking, "What the fuck is this doing to serve public safety?" Â Fuck the law's worth just because it is or has been a law. Â I can give you example after example of batshit insane laws throughout the ages. Â I want to know precisely what in the fuck this process is doing besides injecting cash into that shitty town and county's bank accounts and boosting the quotas for some unbelievably misguided pricks who tossed a dude in jail for driving with a fucking goddamn suspended license and someone else for supplying booze to a minor. Â What in the fuck? Â This isn't doing anything for the safety of that town's residents. Â They are meaningless arrests designed to drum up income through fines and make some lazy, incompetent, greedy fucking assholes look like they're doing something to justify the budgets they're getting.
I used to think defense lawyers were evil. Â They're the fucking holy soldiers of light compared to the people in the positions I've mentioned above, who decidedly do not have my best interests in mind, nor the best interests of the people they allegedly protect or represent. Â They're out for their best interests and those of their bosses, all the way up the chain to the useless, scared, old fuckwits who write the laws. Â At least the defense lawyers are for sale to everyone instead of a select group of people who have the ability to bribe anyone from a Congressman all the way down to a flatfoot. Â Affluenza, baby. Â Fucking disease.

I could probably name a couple of other large 'brotherhood' like organizations that cover for their own as well.
I just know that I hope all cops die now. They deserve it.

You could probably name them, but it doesn't mean you would be correct.
Be sure to smile and say yes sir to the next cop who pulls you over for speeding. Â If he doesn't like your attitude something bad, yet perfectly legal, might happen.

I don't think I have as much of a hard on against the police as most here, but the readiness of most of them to circle the wagons bothers me. I think they should be the FIRST to demand that the bad ones get drummed out. I think that they should hold the honor they are bestowed with with the utmost respect for that responsibility. I don't think enough of them do.
That being said, I think you generally run into fewer problems with sheriff's departments since the sheriff is directly elected and there are a lot less bureaucratic politics to deal with.

QUOTE QUOTE I could probably name a couple of other large 'brotherhood' like organizations that cover for their own as well. Are the members of those organizations you have in mind also allowed to shoot you dead by mistake as part of their job and then be protected from any repercussions?
Yes. In fact, their job IS to kill people. But, they don't always kill the right people.

Oh, no, I would consider SWAT teams to be part of the police. I know they're sort of separate, but it's all the same authority base.

Cop tazes 62-year old woman. Â In the back.
QUOTE In an arrest affidavit obtained by WCTV, Mahan wrote that he was attempting to arrest Young because she allegedly "obstructed officers while in the course of completing their legal duties."
...
In the video, which was posted Tuesday on the website YouTube, 62-year-old Viola Young can be seen approaching officers who had arrested three people and put them in squad cars.
An officer told Young to stay back, and in the video she appeared to be walking away when officer Terry Mahan approached and grabbed her left arm. Young can be seen pulling her arm away, turning around and walking several steps before the officer fired his stun gun, striking her in the back.
But hey, let's remember this is a dude who has his life on the line on a daily basis. Â He should be allowed to stun whomever he chooses to at his discretion. Â Near-retirees are leading cause of death for cops on the beat.
What were the cops doing there?
QUOTE The Tallahassee Police Department says the officers were in the area to check out recent complaints of drug deals, according to WCTV.
Of course. Double fuck them.

Clearly she was fleeing the scene of the incident and had to be stopped.
Those 62 year old women can run fast. Only thing they could have done or she'd have gotten away.

She must have had a bad attitude or something. Whatever it was, it was illegal and she had it coming.
Right?

I find it interesting that no one says whether or not he had a gun. I'm betting since the article doesn't say he did, he didn't.

Another thing, the cop hit him with 5 out of 9 shots. Â One of the strays killed the bystander. Â One assumes the cop was only a few feet away from the suspect if they already tried and failed with the tazer.
I think I could do better than 5/9 on a man sized target from 3 feet away while blindfolded.
Also, what's the deal with it seemingly like policy for police is now to try and empty the mag?
