And after reading your post and your comment about the county law being a real LEO....im really believing you are a Sovereign Citizen....sounds just like what one of them say. NOT a good thing...

I appreciate that you dont hate the police. Im actually a deputy sheriff and believe it or not there is a different mindset there when comes to enforcement.
Im all for people being able to defend themselves. In my county, 2 officers cover 967 square miles with a populatiin of 45,000 . We're outmanned and outgunned and have welcomed the assistance of private citizens at different times.
But if an officer gets complacent in his diligence and safety he usually winds up hurt.....or worse...
But what we're talking about here is civil liberties...and where the proper definition of liberty needs to be defined. At your castle....do what you want...I dont care....if you want to swing from a chandlier while smoking a crack pipe and reading ATS.....I truly dont care.
But when you step into the public arena of life....its a different story....I may be mistaken but I think it was Ben Franklin who said, "my rights end where another's begin".......
well at least you are a deputy so a "real" law enforcement officer under the badge of an elected official......
that is good
So other people that help defend your rights aren't "real" LEO's? Please explain that comment, I find it very offensive..

It is offensive. But that is a part of the Sovereign Citizen manifesto. They dont believe in any authority by a govt. agency unless it is at the county level. Very dangerous people with a dangerous mindset.

All of them granted by these United States of America. And those include the rights of your fellow americans who DO believe in a nation of laws. But lets be fair and hear your response on which of YOUR rights have been trampled on....on a day to day basis. Not some news link....you...personally

Well, lets think for a moment. Who appointed that Police Chief that you dont like? The mayor? An elected official. And probably along with city commissioners....who are elected officials...I wasnt elected as a deputy but appointed or "hired" by the Sheriff...who is an elected official.....exactly the same thing.

I agree, that officer didnt handle things properly. Not just in the fact of violating your rights but on an fact finding effort as well. I have found its better to use kindness and respect when dealing with people. I can find out alot of info when I approach a scene this way and I also know that witnesses and nosy neighbors can sometimes exaggerate things as well.
But one bad or stupid act by a police officer doesnt mean that all or even most are that way. Just like a constitutionist may not be a sovereign citizen... I pride myself on my relationship with the citizens of my county. I love them. I love my job. It's about serving them. I go out of my way on most calls to help, counsel, transport, give money, etc..and often follow up with people to see how theyre doing afterwards. I know all LEO are not that way. Just like I know all bankers aren't thieves and all lawyers aret blood suckers.
But you have so many liberties in this country. Posting on ATS being one. And I enjoy these liberties as much as you....edit on 6-2-2014 by Boog911 because: spelling

Explain how a police chief who is appointed by an elected official is not the same as a deputy or Chief Deputy who is apponted by an elected official.

And just to let you know, I had an excellent training officer years ago. He reminded me why it was important to be absolutely correct in the way we handled people. He taught me that people have the RIGHT to resist an illegal arrest with NECESSARY force and that I better being doing my job by the letter of the law or I could be arrested or sued myself. Or even hurt or killed with no support from my department. When I was appointed Chief Deputy, I made a point to tell my deputies this very thing.

I know....I know...."you're armed in your job".....I got that days ago when you said it.
who is defending my rights exactly? LEO loves to trample them.....they aren't big on protecting them.
Tell me what my rights are exactly (that you are protecting)....no don't pull your Miranda card out .... that is to remind you not to violate some of mine at the time of arrest.
I mean....day to day.....what rights of mine are you protecting.edit on 6-2-2014 by UxoriousMagnus because: (no reason given)
