So Cop Breaks His Arm Apart

SALT LAKE CITY (CN) – Heber City police broke an elderly man’s prosthetic arm during a bogus arrest for driving in Utah with a Colorado license, the man claims in Federal Court.
Danny Baker sued police Officers Michael Stowe and Officer Brunnell on Jan. 30, seeking $1.5 million in damages, plus treble damages.
Baker has a prosthetic arm due to a construction accident in the 1970s.
He says he spends a lot of time in Utah for medical reasons, and that he drives slowly there because he likes to keep an eye out for deer and elk.

just a few bad apples.

Wow, they broke is real arm AND his prosthetic arm. That's special.

 

[OutHouse]

towe "persisted," however, and told him that his Colorado license was invalid because he did not have a Utah license, Baker says.

That makes no sense at all

Baker replied: “you ain’t touching me with those cuffs till you read me my rights.”

Cops do not have to read your rights to arrest you. Where do people get this stupid shit?

It's stoners who spread this BS.
"dude, police need to say they are police when asked" (even though this would make it impossible to infiltrate organized crime)

It does not matter at all!! The cops were wrong and that's the bottom line!!

 

[rommelrommel]

lol, only 1.5 million? I think he should sue for infinity dollars.

Apparently you don't have to commit a crime to be arrested either.

No, you don't.

They can detain people for a short time for any reason AFAIK. At least until you can be seen by a judge.

People just don't know how to cop. Need to get some PSA's out there or something about how to behave around police. I think the lack of respect goes both ways.

Chris Rock put out the definitive PSA on this issue already.

Your wrong...totally.....

They can detain you.....but then for a judge to see you, they have to arrest you or charge you with something.....

WrongGgGgGGgGGggGgGgGgGgG.

Well they can detain you. I was trying to be... I dunno. Balanced. But overstepped my actual knowledge.

Either that or ur wong. Sometimes its hard to tell. Thats why I like forums!

But yea the lack of respect goes both ways. Maybe you are just raging over that part more than the other part.

Sure, they'll charge you with resisting arrest.

Fuck pigs.

 

[Nograts]

Man...all these payouts. I need to sue somebody and get with the times. I'm still working like a chump.

man if i had infinity dollars....

 

[PokerGuy]

The key words there are "the man claims in federal court". Anyone can claim anything, I have no idea what actually happened.

 

[dank69]

Chop off one of the cop's arms and break the other.

Television. I saw somebody on an forum recently very confident that if a person had not been read their miranda that they hadn't been arrested. Absolutely untrue; it's perfectly legal to arrest somebody without reading them their miranda.

People get a lot of their knowledge of the law from movies and tv shows, or from their asses.

 

[Blanky]

Sure, they'll charge you with resisting arrest.

Fuck pigs.

Respect my authoritah!

A silly as it sounds you can literally be arrested for...resisting arrest.

Carter, the former officer, agrees that police sometimes feel they have to arrest someone to "save face." But he says some unjustified arrests also come out of officer fatigue — a breakdown of what he calls "resiliency" toward challenging members of the public, especially in protest situations.

wtf is this shit?

i'm wrong so you're under arrest.

give it up.

fucking pigs.

 

[Nograts]

Wait... was he black? This will influence my opinion greatly.

Seconded. In for race of victim\criminal.

 

[piasabird]

This makes me wonder because a lot of people have bad shoulders and are not flexible enough to put their arms behind their back properly. However, we don't know if maybe the person resisted arrest and it forced the police to be a little rougher on them. I tend not to move to quick judgments in cases like these.

Maybe he regularly buys drugs in Colorado.

Having an encounter with the police is turning into a win/win proposition. They either kill you which is fine because living in a world with police that corrupt is not worth it or you get to sue and be rich.

Let's get the LEO side of the license story before jumping to judgement on what started the issue.

Roughing up a person if they are not resisting is different issue and wrong there.

Is my driver's license good in every state?

If you have a valid license from one state, you may use it in other states that you visit. But, if you make a permanent move to another state, you'll have to take a trip to the local department of motor vehicles to apply for a new license. Usually, you must do this within 30 days after moving to the new state. Most states will issue your new license without requiring tests, though some may ask you to take a vision test and a written exam covering basic driving rules.

cops wrong on all fronts.

isn't knowing the law part of being a police officer?
