Account of an outrageous and illegal traffic stop in Jones County, Mississippi

From this account of a traffic stop in Jones County, Mississippi, it appears that some of the outlaws down there work for the sheriff’s department. H/t to Habeas, who noted it on Radley Balko’s site.

I am very, very bothered by the police view that they can give someone an order they have no right to give, and then arrest the person for failing to immediately follow it. The disorderly conduct is from the guy with the badge.

“Disorderly conduct” – a term that encompasses everything the legislature or the local governing body forgot to make illegal.

The Supreme Court has disagreed, but i have always believed that the statute is unconstitutionally vague.

Disorderly Conduct (DOC) is in reality POC (P***ing Off Cop). If the first person account is accurate, the deputies were well off the legal reservation by the time they manufactured grounds for a DOC/POC arrest. Ironically, I have just been reading John Pritchard’s, The Yazoo Blues (New South Books 2008), recording the further thoughts and adventures of Deputy Sheriff Junior Ray Loveblood. Don’t read it until you have first read Pritchard’s initial intoduction to Junior in the eponymous “Junior Ray”.

These deputies need to be held accountable for unprofessional conduct and abuse under the color of authority. Look what news came out from Birmingham today: http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2009/05/five_birmingham_police_officer.html

Maybe they mistook them for vagrants.

“disorderly conduct” is one of the most abused charges by law enforcement there is, however this charge is very defendable and these deputies should be brought to task. Horrible conduct by a law enforcment officer and should not be left unaccounted for. Did you see the chase on TV news tonight where guy was thrown from vehicle unconcious and beat by 5-6 officers. Must have gone to same school at these bums.

it is a shame to think that officers not only on the street act this way but in the prison system, if an officer does not like you, his badge can put you in sega and with out a trial your sentence is raised because you did not do what he told you to do fast enough or refused to it because the rule of law or the prison sytems rules say you don’t have to. when is justic going to come down on those who feel they are above the law, because they have a badge on the chest, i say put the bad badges in the prison sytem for a life sentence be treated the same way they treat oother people who are standing up for their right under the laws of the land!

What evidence is there to prove or suggest that the perpetrators went there to kill as opposed to the stated intent to sell a gun with Dr Smith's prints (as stated when the meeting was set)? Think abo ..

The difficulty with this theory in my opinion is one of perps was killed and he was not killed without of authority of law. In fact, he was shot by a law enforcement officer in commission of a crime. ..

After watching that video I think it should be clear to anyone that the so called “doctor” is really an alien imposter trying to frame Dr. Smith for the murder. We all know the aliens are working with ..
