Will Never See Cops the Same Way Again

Also a huge difference between asking question and cuffing someone. Are you saying that a person MUST answer any question a LEO asks?

Obviously, he was detained, and shook up. If I were him I'd consult an attorney and sue.

 

She was dragged out of her truck wearing nothing but a nightgown and paraded around barefoot in handcuffs.

 

Huh? Last time I checked, in the U.S., the police cannot compel anyone to answer questions, nor can you be punished for not answering such questions.

 

I am sure been said before but, In future tell him. I will sit here with hands on wheel but not opening this door till you get a state trooper out here!

 

injun been lurking here for a long time just started posting. Just wanted to say sorry you were treated the way you were and your openness educates us all as to what to look out for while on the road. thanks for sharing

 

oops did know it was a 'she'. heck that makes it worse

 

You highlighted the section in bold/black....and missed the section highlighted in blue/black!

But I'll forgive you this time....next time...I'll send the deputy from SJSD to consult your consultant!

 

Duplicate.

 

I just have to wonder, looking back on this...what was said between the CHP trainer and that deputy as they were inside my truck and realized I not only am not a drug dealer, but had no weapons anywhere within reach? Did that deputy feel at all like an arse? Probably not.

But it would be nice if he did.

(Add) I wonder whether the Highway Patrolman asked why I would say, "Thank God you're here" before saying anything else...

 

just to be fair I have a good friend who was yanked out of his truck in the middle of the night at a rest area by a group of leos in TN and his truck was completely pulled apart looking for dope. They didn't find what they were looking and let him go. He took 3 hours putting all his stuff back in his truck. They broke panels and scratched the #### out of his TV and every other object in his truck. SO.... Just to be fair #### happens and sometimes people are people. I know this much I would feel vulnerable also if I was a small women in a truck stop.
