Tazed on your own property for speaking? He never set foot out of his garage. How did he interfere? if he should be arrested for disorderly then so should those like Glenn Beck and Keith Olberman.

Blah blah, it would have been hillarious. I vote tazer.

Anyone read the recent comments? I find it appalling the amount of people who want to depend on, yet have zero understanding of the right to free speech.

 

[sraacke]

That guy reminds me of some of the PEC patients I have to deal with at the hospital. Caling everyone Nazi and thinking we work of the CIA and other crap.
Put me down as another vote for the Tazer.

You have to remember, just because you do not think something SHOULD be a law, does not change the fact that it is.....unless you work to change that fact.

Sorry to let you down....

Well said.... I know this wasn't in LA, but if it was, that would easily fall under 14:103.

No joke... These hardcore "freedom fighters" seem to be popping up more and more these days. I think what they are doing is counter productive to what their goal actually is.

You sir, along with many others are the reason "our" government will have no problem {in your words} "stomping a mudhole" in or liberties.

WAKE UP!!!

I’m not sure at what point the LEO’s were stepping on his liberties, he was disturbing the peace. It seemed to me that they called in to HQ to be sure that they were not stepping on his liberties before they took any action, that’s why they are the pros. As far as equating my statement of “stomping a mud hole in his ass” with stepping on his liberties, sorry, I would not beat his ass because he was exercising his first amendment rights, I would beat his ass because he was an *******, plain and simple.

This ^^ and once I was done I'd beat his ass again, for fun.

Let me clarify, I would beat his ass a civilian, not if I were a LEO, that would be wrong.

As much as the guy was a jackass for starting something, he's gonna get paid for that "tough boy" showing by the po po. No camera and he would have been beaten senseless and multiple "other charges" would have appeared. Cop should have ignored him and walked away.

His speech is completely protected and doesn't come close to "fighting words" in the circumstances. They also can't ask for his drivers license while not in car. They can ask him to ID himself, IF they suspect a crime has been committed in order to investigate that, but in this case it's very weak.

He's gonna make a nice payday off officer toughboy.

I don't think so, if he hadn't had a camera he'd either have found someone with one or never stopped. With out a camera to document the Nazi-ism, he'd have no point or purpose.

I think this a case where some one acts out when they are certain the other person isn't going to do them anything. Like when a customer goes off on a cashier for no good reason - the poor sap can't say or do anything if they want to keep their job. But in this guy's case he was certain nothing would happen and he was wrong.

Anyway, I think if I had been the cop I would have just laughed at him which probably would have probably made his temper tantrum get worse. And the worse he got the more it would have made me laugh. For some reason I enjoy seeing people act out like him and it makes me laugh. Maybe I'm twisted.

Exactly what the cop should have done, walk away and laugh. No reason to do what he did. Most level headed officers would do the same thing. Which is a majority of officers I suspect/hope.

We've been debating this one. Specularius said technically, the shaved (bald) LEO, as bad as he hated to admit it, possibly made a mistake when he crossed the threshold of the garage door and continue to insist to see ID instead of just his name.

Not that he was arguing against the cop, just that the cop put himself in a questioning situation. Will the arrest stick sort of thing.

My opinion and response to Spec, "So?". I have little sympathy for the nut. He was harassing an officer during a traffic stop. That's already a pretty dicey situation for an officer based on previous research.

Should the officer had ignored the nutjob? Yeah, probably so. Assholes are out there. You can't arrest every one you come across. Do I feel sorry for the jerk and would I cry foul if he actually spent a night in jail over something that might not be technically 100% by the book correct? Nope.
