My wife works late on Thursday nights til 9 pm and after she got off work she was dropping something off at our nephews house who lives in a culdesack in a townhouse with about 20 others that look identical. My wife had only been there once and had not gone in so when she went there she mistakenly went to the wrong unit next door. She asked the gentleman if this was "Kyles" home and he responded he had moved out long ago. Knowing our nephew had not moved my wife figured she went to the wrong unit, when she realized it was the one on the other side of the driveway she just left her car in his driveway walked next door dropped the machine off and left. She then went to a local gas station to grab something and when she got out of her car a police car pulled up and an officer approached her. He then asked if she had been on such and such street to which she responded yes, the officer then asked for identification so he knew who he was dealing with. Now my wife is all of 5 feet tall manages a financial office and is hardly someone who looks like a criminal. He checked her papers and she was free to go.
She came home and explained to me what happened and I unlike her was outraged. What had my wife done to deserve to be questioned? Is going to the wrong door suspicious activity now? She posted on her Fakebook what had happened and within 5 minutes 2 different people responded that they had heard the call go out on the scanner and they said she was involved in "very suspicious" activity. Are you freaking kidding me??? I called the police chief first thing this morning and will be having words with him when and if he returns my call, if not he will get a personal visit to explain what the hell my wife did that was so suspicious. I refuse to be held hostage in this police state any longer. These guys have to be reminded who the hell they work for. Will post a follow up after my return call or visit whichever comes first.
Comment by Pit Bull on January 18, 2013 at 10:13am As I wait for the return phone vcall did a little digging and found in the US Law Code that they may have violated my wifes civil rights according to Title 42 Chapter 21 Subchapter 1article 1983 lol. Theres always a law somewhere someone broke, just gotta dig for it. Let the fun begin!
Comment by Pit Bull on January 18, 2013 at 11:25am Police Chief just called me back and I explained what happened, he was aware of the incident and I expressed my confusion and stated that the officer had no lawful authority to ask for identification unless he thought she was in the commission of a crime which he said was not true so I strongly objected to his statement and referred him to the US Law Code and the statute. I told him I was confused as to how my wife had been acting suspicious by knocking on the wrong door and the whole episode seemed absurd to me and asked him if he thought it sounded logical. To which he responded that logical to him or I may not be logical to the man whos door my wife accidentally knocked on. The whole thing made no sense and the conversation wasnt going anywhere as he tried to explain his standing. He did admit that it was a bvit extreme and he wouldnt have handled it that way. The conversation turned to 2nd Amendment rights and gun ownership and his position on that was positive which was encouraging, but he didnt seem to want to budge on his officer being in the right. I wasnt gonna push the issue and make an enemy out of him, but did maybe open a door to more talking as I offered to help with younger kids who get into trouble. I do a lot of work with pit bulls and Im hoping I can incorporate the dogs into some kind of program that can help some of these kids who get in trouble. I know the dogs helped me when I was laid off for 2 years and had no sense of direction or purpose. Im hoping I can turn a negative start into a positive finish. Wish me luck!
Comment by Tara on January 18, 2013 at 2:28pm You did the right thing Pit Bull. Kudos to you :)
Good luck with your idea with incorporating your dogs with troubled kids. I'm sure that will be rewarding to not only the children you would help but also give you much joy in your heart.
Comment by Pit Bull on January 18, 2013 at 2:29pm I agree CH, but we cant just keep rolling over and acting as if nothing is wrong either. Thats what got us in this mess to begin with. Im willing to do whats lawful and right and if that gets me in trouble so be it. Im not looking for trouble, but Im not going to cower from it either.
Comment by Pit Bull on January 18, 2013 at 2:32pm Thanks for the support Tara and CH I know your not trying to scare me or anything, I know your just a good person who doesnt want to see anyone get in trouble, but for one reason or another throughout my life, trouble usually has a way of finding its way to my doorstep. I guess I just naturally attract controversy lol, o well.
Comment by Pit Bull on January 18, 2013 at 6:46pm New developments, sent an email to Jack Bauer who does a program on RBN dealing with legal issues and holding police accountable when violating someones civil rights. Well he called me back and is interested in helping me and also gave me a number for Howard Grizwald who has been doing this for awhile. Instead of going after the police as a whole and it costing the taxpayers there are ways to go after the officers themselves. I would not be doing this if this was handled properly and I would have maybe gotten an apology from the chief, but now just on principal alone I cant just walk away without attempting to do something. Breach of fiduciary duty just being one of the rules he broke. This may not be an easy battle, but its one Im willing to endure just to prove a point and show others that everyone is held accountable even the authorities.
