DesertBull Report post Posted May 18, 2011 Who walk around with an audio recorder on? Kind of a weird thing to do unless your planning on intentionally rerecording something. Ipods, Blackberry's, etc have voice recorders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OpticNerd Report post Posted May 18, 2011 Ipods, Blackberry's, etc have voice recorders. That they do. All I was saying is this guy had it turned on before the cops even started talking to him. Seems to me this guy was planning on trying to piss the cops off and get them to say something negative which is a lot like entrapment if you ask me. Who knows maybe the cops in this neighborhood are known for harassing people for no reason and this guy was just trying to get proof of this. Not saying what the cops did was right but I don't know the whole story I only listen to the first 30 second or so of the incident but it seems there is a lot of hatred towards cops these days. Cops have got to have one of the toughest jobs out there. What if this guy with the gun is the next Jared L and he was planning on going on a shooting rampage and these two cops saw that he was packing but just let him go about his day? People would then blame the cops for not asking the guys a few question just before he shot up a parking lot. None of this would have probably happened if this guy would have cooperate with the officers. The guy was acting like he had something to hide which he did the audio recorder and the cops probable could sense this so they went on the defensive. Unfortunately cops have to act this way now days especially in a place like Phily if they are going to make it to retirement. If your a law a biding citizen then act like one and you'll more then likely have no problems with the law. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BowNut Report post Posted May 28, 2011 If he would have just kept his mouth shut and did what the officer asked him to do that would never have turned into a yelling match and we would have never heard about it. Like the officer said he has no clue who this guy is. He could have just shot someone he has no idea. Not saying the cop was 100% right but they were in a public place just do what he says you don't get shot or yelled at that way! After that if he feels he was treated badly then take it up with them after the officer knows he is safe and is going home to his family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotcoues Report post Posted May 28, 2011 I've been pulled over at least half a dozen times in AZ while carrying a loaded firearm and upon advising the officer of my weapon/weapons, I've never even had to show them or get out of the truck. I just can't see anyone condoning this type of behavior on the officers part, although he did not completely comply on purpose to prove "his" point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank goodness we still have gun rights here. I just can't see anyone condoning this type of behavior on the officers part, although he did not completely comply on purpose to prove "his" point.

DesertBull Report post Posted May 29, 2011 It used to be that we were all presumed innocent. Now, we have to prove we are not guilty. BTW, the libtards in Congress, along with the NEOCONS, just passed four more years of the Patriot Act. The one that lets the cops and Gov't snoop into your business with no cause and no warrant. The most blatantly unconstitutional piece of legislation to ever be passed as law. The lefties ran a campaign in 2008 based in a large part on repealing it. Guess that's another one they pulled over on us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EagleEye Report post Posted May 29, 2011 Sounds like he set them up to me, how many people you know carry recording devices to autozone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOFX Report post Posted May 29, 2011 Sounds to me like the Sargeant needs to learn the laws he's supposed to enforce. Thats exactly what I got from it. Apparently, its illegal if he says it is. I laughed when he found the recorder and said "thats illegal" Id be pretty embarrassed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
