A new low for even Chicago: Child as young as 6 could be robbing victims at gunpoint "The most recent case, on June 28 in the first block of East 29th Street in Bronzeville, involved a boy who was described as being between the ages of 6 and 8, and who “displayed a silver handgun and demanded money,” according to a news release." I truly feel for the poor bastard that is legally carrying and puts one between this kid's eyes. The outcry would be unreal.
Now THIS is kind of funny. Cops run the tag of a car, it doesn't come back with any kind of a response, so they pull it over. You get to watch the body cam footage of a cop as he comes face to face with the only black State Attorney in Florida. He starts getting a huge tickle in his throat (nervous much?) while she asks for their cards and is sent on her way with a, "have a nice day!" http://www.newsweek.com/awkward-mom...medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark
Imagine if they killed her for reaching for her I.D. They'd actually have to figure out a way to find them guilty.
I don't see why everyone making a big deal out of this? Cops run tags all the time. Some cop cars even have automatic license readers in them that scan a lot faster. That's how they find stolen vehicles, people with outstanding warrants, that kinda thing. If it came back blank, I don't see a problem with them stopping the car to check the person's ID. Best case is they take a criminal off the street, worst case is someone is inconvenienced for what, 30 seconds? Why do people assume that every interaction with police is going to be a negative? They're protecting our communities, and good on them for taking the time to check out something that looked suspicious.
Her question was, "what probable cause did you have to run my tags?" He then stuttered over some sort of window tint bullshit. It's like stop and frisk... the cops need probable cause, they can't just go fishing. As a State Attorney, she knows this, and will probably follow up with it.
They... they need probably cause to run your plates? I thought that, windows possibly too dark so they can stop you and check, those kind of things were considered probable cause? You're telling me they aren't? Wow, my mind is blown. I would have zero problem with a cop stopping me over something like that just to check. Then again, I have nothing to hide from the police.
Why do you think that every car full of shady gangmembers gets pulled over for a broken tail light, or a rollings top, or failure to signal a lane change, or some other bullshit simple thing? That gives them probable cause, and lets them go fishing from there. Then they intimidate you into giving them permission to search your car... if you say no, "what do you have to hide?"
It's simple to find negativity in this. The police were liars. They swore an oath to the law, that includes not making up the law and inventing loopholes as you go.
Yeah I just figured license plate and window tint fell into that category along with broken tail light, insignificant moving violations, that kinda thing.
Guessing window tint is off is impossible to question, which is why they use it as a loophole. That's why she laughed when he mentioned window tint... she knows what kind of bullshit that was. And if you listen to his mannerisms, I think he knew what kind of bullshit that was as well.
Hell, I've been pulled over for window tint before. I had 21% installed on my car when it was legal to do so and later had to carry a certificate showing that my tint was grandfathered in, thus legal. But I did get pulled over. Also, with running plates for no reason....one of my buddies was on his way down here and stopped for the night in Reno. As soon as he left the motel he was pulled over because the police ran his plates over night. In Idaho we kept our plates and transferred them from car to car. His former car was a '65 Corvette. His current car was a '60 Bug. He had transferred the plates and had a registration, Idaho and Nevada just hadn't communicated that those plates actually did now belong to a '60 Bug and not a '65 Corvette.
So they ran the plates and nothing came back, and it didn't occur to them to just leave it alone? Go about their business and find an actual crime being committed?
They're fishing. You pry and you search until you find something. Breaking the law means fines means profit. And tickets/seizing property is how the police generate profit. On the other hand it's comforting to know that if your car has been stolen, the Orlando police are looking for it.
It wasn't that nothing came back on the owner. He said that literally there was no information at all.
This is far from Ayala's biggest problem in Florida. Governor Rick Scott took a huge steaming dump on her forehead. The real news about her in Florida is that she refuses to seek the death penalty under any circumstances in any murder case and Rick Scott took ALL of her murder cases and reassigned them not that she got pulled over.
