wanna freak the hell out of some people, do this

last year that made it ilegal to have a helmet on in a bank here

Find the box for the helmet and give it away/sell it before it does you harm again. (assuming of course it is new and unused for a period of time)

I don't know if he did, I am just saying there is no violation if he did.

There was probably a little coercion.

I would venture to say he did my guess is most people do.

Never assume anything, Perry, because when you do you make an ass....ah, you know the rest.

[Genetic Defect]

true

it's remarkable how history repeats itself.

Going to the State fair reminds me of the diverse nature of our society as well.


Sorry, I got distracted...

He gave consent because he was likely still shaken up by the whole ordeal and wanted to be released and he knew that he had nothing to hide. While they were searching your house and bags, they were looking for anything that they could bust you with (eg drugs, guns, etc.). Since they had wrongly detained you, they were reaching for any reason to lock your butt up, so that they could feel justified about man handling you and hauling you to the station.

Wow, a lot of assumptions here for people who weren't there.

Ade, you make it sound like fact...hope Brad filled in those details for you and you didn't just come up with that as factual on your own.

Well, if a cop wanted to look in my house I'd normally just invite them in for tea.

Now, if they wanted a peek down my pants, they'd have to buy me a beer first.

well....now this clearly depends on the cop....some wouldn't need the beer first...maybe after...

Agreed.

But, I don't think that I'm out of line by analyzing Brad's recollections that he was flattened on the floor, cuffed, dragged downtown (the 2 mile away police station) in a small conservative town and before he could be released, the police "had" to check out his house, car, bike and bags. Would the police have "had" to do all of the above mentioned things if Brad had requested an attorney or had one present? I think not. And, I didn't have to be there in person to offer my opinion based on the "facts" presented. No harm intended, my statements are just my opinions (as are the rest of the posters in any given thread).

No harm taken, and I agree that without consent the cops really had no basis for a search. And I believe if the cops had found drugs or some illegal contraband unrelated to an implement of armed robbery, no prosecutor worth his salt would have approved charges, as that evidence would have been irreparably tainted, regardless of any consent for the search.
