Hahaha, that'd be great. Just one stipulation: no pics.

That only goes for Fausto, right? Because you know I'll be shooting mine on DV. ;)

Bring it. I'll just spread the word that the Yankees have begun the War of Northern Agression v2.0 and you won't get further than Kentucky. :D

I'll make sure he doesn't get past Tennessee. I've got an M4A1 and 6 weeks of free time. :)

If I borrow my either my grandfather's or my uncle's truck, I'll have all the cover I need to get by the good ole boys. Besides, you are a Yankee yourself.
Both sides of my family are originally from Savannah. I was merely born in the wrong state.

If you need further proof, I would be happy to debate the finer points of barbeque and 'rasslin. :p

Viper GTS

The case of the Cussing Canoeist was thrown out. Maybe you could get some help by making your story known.

I just want it thrown out. I don't care anything about getting them in trouble, because I am sure they will have plenty of a defense and will try to make it harder on me. I'm just a bit disillusioned now because I've been a tireless defender of the police, and wanted to be an officer myself, but obviously not all departments are created equal.

i'm not surprised it happened at all. its why many here including myself could care less about the cops. most cops dont care about the law, they just enjoy the power. i'd say for every 1 decent cop there's about 9 bad ones. sad, but true.

Off the phone with my lawyer. He's sending an e-mail around the officer right now to get referrals. Not going to be cheap. :(

Why don't you contact your local news organization? They usually love to report bad cops...

Did you recognize any of the patrons at the bar? You will need witnesses. Preferably people other than your close friends.

Great, now I'm going to have to make a stop to take you out, too, now that you have implied that I'm a Canuck. Two things that might have clued you in:
-I said I was going to have to cross Lake Erie and take out M4H, who is a Canuck.
-How many Canucks do you know with an AR-15?

I think between being able to point out that you were/are:
-born waaaaaaaaaay up north
-an employee of the federal government
-ride a bicycle to work (no "pick'em up truck")
-are not a fan of NASCAR
-don't believe in creationism
-wear leather chaps and thongs
etc... I can fool to mob long enough for a good ole fashioned lynching.

I was there by myself, but I did talk to one guy there that bought me my second drink. I don't know his name or anything. We were just talking because he was in there by himself too. I was just stopping by to have about 2 drinks and get a sandwich and then go home. I don't really have any witnesses, but I do have my shirt(but where is there proof that I didn't burn it myself?) and I am the one who called the police not the other way around. I'm pretty much screwed because they aren't investigating them and they came after me. That's why I've got a lawyer and I will have to fight for my clean record.

Too many rednecks around here....

Sadly, in the deep South if you arent firmly entrenched in the Good Ole Boy's Network, its very easy to be screwed over by someone in the GOBN.

Whatta crock of BS. :|

Wish you had some witnesses to help back you up... it's never fun when it's the cops word vs. yours. Best wishes Mill, I sincerely hope justice is served.

you know , there was that thread last week about alabama

um, one thing that is true , not just in the south, don't mess with the locals


it doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, if the locals and the cops are buddies, just go somewhere else, don't fight it

sorry you got the shaft buddy

Ah, but how much do you know about me?
Well...you live in Cleveland...which explains why you're so cranky. :p

No, I'm cranky because I havent gotten any in about 6 weeks.

Besides, Ohio just passed a CCW law, I can get bottles of beer with at least 11.9% ABV (I dont know what the limit is, that is just the highest I've bought that I recall), Cleveland will have a new mayor soon, Taft is on his way out (just not soon enough), and I like the cold. And our river hasnt caught on fire in years ;)

If I wasn't flat broke I'd gladly contribute to the "help Mill tell the crooked cops, legally, where to stick it" fund.

Don't be disillusioned by local cops. What I've learned in my experience with cops (almost always as the friend of someone they're talking to/investigating/pulling over) is that 80% of all local cops have a bad attitude and/or are crooked, whereas with state police and highway patrol (in Nevada they're the same) it's about 10%. Just join up with the staties if you still want to join.

Unfortunately because of the Good Ol' Boy Network I doubt you'll get anything but a dismissal at best, but more likely they'll try to get it to a non-permanent offense and a low fine.

If you would like an army of angry, armed geeks to back you up just aquire a few Nevada=>Alabama plane tickets. :p
