Quoting: Anubis You don't NEED a permit to open carry in many states...Maine being one of them.

AmericanInfidel User ID: 8558787 United States 06/22/2012 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The cop seemed very reasonable. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18375284 The citizen lost his cool. He could have walked away with alot less attitude. Refusing to give your first name is in my books disrespectful. Not just to a cop but to anyone. Citizen would have done better to respectfuly let the cop know he was not a felon and given his identity. Instead he acted like he was a teenage rebel out to prove a point, pretty embarrising to watch from here. fuck that, swine deserve no respect unless respect is GIVEN they deserve no answers unless required by law most cops don't deserve their jobs Last friday I got puled over for 56 in a 45 and had a few drinks. Not only did I just get a written warning ticket for speeding, the cop gave me the option to take a breath alizer test or call a friend to come pick me up. I called a friend. There are good cops out there. Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish. Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage. KCCO |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1390705 United States 06/22/2012 08:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The point of this is to bring to the forefront the fact that we, in the United States of America, have inalienable rights. The fact that many, if not most, arbitrarily refuse to exercise those rights, is one of the major problems that exists in this country. The failure of the population to live in the liberty and freedom afforded to us by our Constitution and Declaration of Independence is why the government has been so successful in infringing upon those rights.

Quoting: Anubis That might work in Canada....but in the states we don't need cops to continually verify everything....thats NOT his job! Their mantra used to be "protect and serve" now it seems more like "harass and intimidate" is more fitting.... your papers please That might work in Canada ?? Are you fucking stupid ? There is no such thing as open carry in Canada. My point exactly...... |

It's sad that some officers who are charged for protection of citizens don't know the law that they are supposedly schooled in. ALL POLICE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A 4 YR. DEGREE AND BE KNOWLEDGEABLE IN GUN LAWS. Last Edited by enki2012 on 06/22/2012 08:51 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 15160454 United States 06/22/2012 09:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Deadbeacon read the wiki link. It is already illegal to open carry in texas unless hunting, traveling to hunt, or self defense. If you say for the latter it will end up in court, as they will have to prove it was not for self defense either way your gonna take a ride |

The cop did the right thing by checking out what that guy was doing out there with a gun in plain sight and have a little chat. Think about this guy if you are ever going to be so unlucky to stand on the wrong side of the barrel! Why... Why... WHY... Are you Nethertards so unbelievably and HOPELESSLY brainwashed?

Quit being such damned pussies - OMG HE'S GOT A GUN!! RUN!! PANIC!! FREAK OUT!! I know... For some reason, these Turbo-Libtards can't seem to muster up enough common sense to realize that criminals, and felons, and people who intend to do harm, don't calmly walk around carrying openly, KNOWING that they are far more likely to attract police attention. Just how HARD is that to figure out, you fucking idiot anti-rights tards?? |

READY SET GO! User ID: 8640456 United States 06/22/2012 09:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry, but the guy was a prick. Im all for guns, but seems like he was walking around waiting for a cop to stop him so he could start quoting laws. Bravo to the cop for acting like an adult, all he wanted to do was find out what was going on. Quoting: AmericanInfidel He either DIDN'T know what was going on or didn't care. If there is one civil right cops should be knowledgeable about its the right to bear arms. His job isn't to harrass people not breaking the law. And, there isn't any other way to address a cop in that circumstance. If you play Mr. Nice guy all you'll do is give up your rights. The cop didnt harass anyone, he just wanted to know everything was ok. Thats the same as stopping some granny with her shopping cart and demanding her ID. Yeah, because you wanna make sure everything is "o.k.". He wasn't bothering anyone anymore than granny. When the Nazis come to take over, you'd make a good guard. Acts 3:21 |
ColKlink User ID: 16548797 United States 06/22/2012 09:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | very lucky he wasn't arrested for FAILING TO PROVIDE ID upon request Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16301630 most LEO would have arrested him and left it to the courts to sort out i wouldn't suggest anyone trying this unless they're up for the challenge Its actually Failure to Identify, not Failure to Produce ID. Legally you are not liable to produce an ID source like a driver license and such unless youre suspected of a crime in progress or of a crime in general. You can be arrested if you dont identify yourself in a statement such as saying your name. You have to produce ID if youre stopped while driving a vehicle by a LEO but you do not have to produce ID if yer a passenger in that vehicle if its just a normal traffic stop. |

Quoting: mal757 I have to say, this cop was very reasonable. He didn't blow anything out of proportion and make a big deal of it. To me, he seemed like a good man just trying to do his job. He realized everything the guy filming said was right and let him go on his way without ever seeing the ID. Are you kidding? The cop DETAINED the man, and refused to allow him on his way, until the SUPERVISOR arrived and cut the guy loose. Did you even watch the same video? |

Quoting: Anubis Open carry permit? Are you kidding? In states that allow open carry, there's no permit required. Only for concealed. I need to amend that a bit. There ARE some open carry states that require that you obtain a license to open carry, but Maine (where the guy in the video was) is not one of them. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 5153493 United States 06/22/2012 09:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The guy was completly right about the law and all but man if people continue to act like this with police officers say goodbye to all of our freedoms. What's written down on a piece of paper is nothing compared to what could become if the government decides to say fuck it the world is a bunch of idiot jack asses so we will do the same right back. I know police abuse goes on everyday and it's a terrible fact but I honestly think this guy was a complete tool and I find both of them wrong here. Not in a lawful sense in just a common courtesy sense. Quoting: XSlyOneX So you are against people pushing back? You would have them continue to cower in fear? Sit down, shut up, and pay your taxes, so that the Powers That Suck can purchase more high-tech weaponry to control you? So when (if ever) WOULD you start to exercise what's left of your rights? Ever?? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1515981 95% of people will allow the police to intimidate them into giving up their rights. This is what law enforcement is told to do to deal with a citizen overtly exercising their rights. Look how they deal with all protests, free speech and 2nd amendment issues. If you can be intimidated into surrendering all your rights, then it can be said that you gave them u,p instead of them being taken away. That's why it is so important to know the law and not be afraid to defend your rights.

Stopping grannie pushing a shopping cart is the same as stopping a man people have called 911 about carrying a gun in public is the same thing?? Listen, I'm all for gun rights and carrying, and be sure when the nazis come, I'll have mine loaded and ready for war, but you cannot tell me that after watching the video, the guy carrying wasn't acting like an assclown who was out looking for a confrontation with police just so he could prove a point. The cops did nothing wrong. Neither did the man with the gun. The cops simply wanted to be sure nothing had or was about to be done. It sounds funny needing to carry in Maine, you know with all the violent crime there. Lol. But it's his right. Good for him and us. But let's say he went on to his girlfriends house and killed her, then we would all want the cop fired. To me he just sounded like he was just dying to share his gun law knowledge with a cop. Destroy all that is evil, so what is good may flourish. Guns cause crime like flies cause garbage. KCCO |
