Know this: The officer was looking for something to do; he must have been having a slow night. All he had to do was pull up behind the MHD vehicle (which he did) and, with his lights on their tag, run that tag. That is what most officers do even when they are with a partner: certainly if alone (if you don’t believe this, ask around). By running that tag, he would have found out all was well with that vehicle. He could have waved them on their way without ever having gotten out of his vehicle. But no, this officer had an agenda which could have been as petty as having a boring evening. And so, he set about accomplishing this unworthy agenda and got himself more than he bargained for: people who care about their rights. The officer put himself in harm’s way for all he knew. He was completely irresponsible checking out that vehicle in the manner in which he did it….that motorhome could have had twenty drug-crazed people in it! First, he should have run the tag and been done with it. Secondly, if he was bound and determined to have contact with whomever was in the vehicle, had he been a responsible law enforcement officer, he would have called for backup before he ever got out of the vehicle and while he was running the tag. Samantha, don’t waste any more time on this, honey. Wait until you grow up a little bit more so that when you get out there giving your opinion, you will at least be giving it out of maturity and some semblance of wisdom and knowledge. Just wait….be patient….the time will come when you can give opinion that is accurate and realistic. Don’t feel bad….we’ve all done said things that make no sense at one time or another but we just have to learn from it and move on. I have every confidence that one day your opinion will count for something….whether you agree with me or not doesn’t matter. It is just that from reading what you wrote here, it is easy to realize that you have not lived enough life to think with wisdom and maturity….but like I said, it’ll come.

Good job, MHD, keep up the good work. Don’t be concerned that some people cannot or won’t see that the officer created his own little situation with you all for whatever silly little reason he had. Too bad he bit off more than he could chew with you all. Go!

Cry me a river, what makes you think everybody should or does obey laws? When a crook shoots you for not listening to him, do you cry “He had no right to shoot me” or do you wish you cooperated and walked away safely?

And don’t tell me “that would never happen if I was armed”, I didn’t see Jason shoot a policeman for harassing him, he got arrested and jailed like anybody would for being a smartass. Go tell people that the police broke the law, as if Jason obeys every single law in the book.

Don’t expect everybody to play nice, protect yourself, and some rights aren’t worth standing up for, don’t you have better things to do with your life?
