Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry

[Yentl Marmelstein]

Personally, I think that's unconstitutional as written, it requires you the innocent citizen to submit to kidnapping by anyone in uniform, even the anger management dropouts in that audio tape.

Any word about mainstream TV stations picking this up or lawyers wanting to help?

I know it's all over the web, but some news coverage would help a great deal for people that are not on gun or political sites.

Call your local stations. Hck, Gunrunner took a while to hit the news channels as well, and that has ties to Holder and The President.

If you cant get it to be noticed in one place, post it everywhere.

Anyone care to file a complaint?

I filed one. I'm sure a bunch others have filed complaints.

I'll make a prediction here and now: The Philadelphia Police Department is not going to be returning as many audio recorders in the future. Nor will receipts be issued for confiscated devices. And the officers involved will not be able to recall any recorders at the scene.

That's why I recommended earlier that any sort of planned "event" should be recorded by people who are not in immediate contact with the misbehaving officers. Just imagine the consequences to an officer who steals the victim's audio recorder, then denies it later, only to be surprised by a SECOND audio/video recording of him stealing the first recorder.

Easy. Wireless microphones --> wireless receivers --> Internet philla = powned.

I just got a chance to listen to the entire audio clip , and WOW ! Other than the obvious , my wife pointed out that after 20 some minutes of them having your ID , and LTCF and trying to find something on you , they come to you , and ask if you are sure your last name is ****** like the sandwich !

You have had that name for 24 years , are you sure that is really what it is ? Are you kidding me ?

Maybe they thought they had Bin Laden ?

I believe the foul mouthed officer is the one named after the sandwich, not Viper.

I think that was Viper getting the second officer's that showed up from the female officer that was baby sitting him. Believe his name was officer Reuben.

Actually, that was me asking about the officer who was all full of anger and spent the majority of his speaking time cursing at me. I asked the name of that officer, another officer said Rubin, and I asked, "Rubin, like the sandwich?"

Keep in mind that these guys didn't even get my LTCF and DL until AFTER they took me back out of the paddywagon! I had them in my vest pocket for ease of access, and even indicated to the Sergeant where they were during the first few minutes of this encounter - but when they put their knees in my back and cuffed me, subsequently stripping me of my wallet, gun, magazine, voice recorder, etc., they failed to get the DL and LTCF! I realized this when I was sitting in the back of the wagon and looked down in my pocket.
