Abolish The Police, Police Abuse, Power Trip

Ignorance of the Law Is No Excuse

I can see why this cop wouldn’t know about the right to free speech, and is scared of having people lined up leafleting. After all, the right to free speech is covered in the 8973rd Amendment, paragraph (j), section (iii).

Oh wait. That’s not right. It’s the First Amendment. He’s just on a massive, ignorance-fueled power trip.

But you know what really galls me is the people thanked the cop at the end. I realize it’s probably just habit, and it makes me mad, because I’ve done the same thing. I’ve thanked cops for handing me a ticket. It makes me sick thinking about it. They should thank me.

Of course, every single on of that cop’s paychecks is him committing fraud. He’s supposed to know the law. Soliciting is selling something. Passing out literature isn’t soliciting.

Here’s the best comment on this video:

“Sorry, Officer, you can’t use the terms “break it up” or “get a permit” without a special permit from the “break it up / get a permit” licensing board, which is located in Room 1984 of the Doubleplusgood Building on Oceania Boulevard. Yeah yeah, being a policeman gives you certain authority, blah blah blah, never mind, just be a good boy and run along to the licensing office. Quit asking why.”

I can see why that dirtbag would be against passing out Constitutions.

Power Trip, Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God

Ignorant Cops

Six Christians Arrested in New Jersey for Evangelizing.

I can just see these dirt bag, ignoramus cops saying all of this stuff:

Officer Baker demanded identification from all of the Christians under the threat of arrest. Parker said that at first he declined, but police insinuated that if they provided identification, everything would be fine. However, that did not turn out to be the case.“He told us, ‘That will cost you $250 a piece,’” Parker recalled the officer stating. “He said, ‘Anybody who is with them gets a ticket.’”

Parker explained that the police also confiscated the mobile phone of one of the Christians who was recording the incident, contending that it was against the law for them to record police, and that the officers were taking the phone as part of an investigation.

Jersey City police told them that they were not permitted to hand out tracts in the entire city without government permission.

“He kept asking me, ‘Do you know where you’re at? Do you know where you’re at?” Parker outlined.

When contacted, the Jersey City Police Department stated that because members of the public were upset with the message being proclaimed, the officers had a right to prevent potential violence. They stated that in such cases, police protocol is to disperse the crowd and silence the speaker.
