OK, if you’re going …
OK, if you’re going to act like a cop, police the streets and strictly adhere to law, then it’s quite clear who will be bringing on the martial law. Groups, millitias who believe it is in the interests of the people to take over the streets, to crack down and present opposition.

It’s unbelievable how narrow minded this is. Look outside of the situation, see life from other perspectives than your own, look around and the perspectives of the world, not just the conspiracy cult.

the law is the law and the officer was in violation of the law and allowed to get away with breaking the law. The officer then engaged in a stalking campaign against citizen. File charges for stalking, conduct unbecoming an officer, and harassment. Then record all future interactions with the officer.

Thanks for the love TinCup. I don’t understand why you have a problem with a citizen expecting those enforcing the law to abide by that same law. Or why you’d like to grant cops the authority to ticket people for being “a lil’ .” Who then would decide who fits that metric? Law is supposed to be objective, and applicable to all.

And if you’re fine allowing cops to break this law, at what point do you believe they should start abiding by the law?

Thanks for the …
Thanks for the question. I had no doubt the officer was trying to determine where I lived. And the fact that he first followed me north (into the apt complex), then south (back to where he car had been parked), then east (past the 711) was proof enough for me.
