Re: Bethlehem PD's response to LTCF
The post I made earlier about the local PD being gestapo-esque....guess where I live? Hellertown! This is terriffic, now I have MULTIPLE (I mean like 10 or more) different, independent stories about the local cops being football-bats. Luckily, I've managed to avoid them so far. FML.
Popichak is probably trolling this for his next story...

Re: Bethlehem PD's response to LTCF
What eventually happened was, they decided to cite my friend, the driver, for not using his turn signal, which they claim was the reason for pulling him over, and they said they smelled alcohol on him, and they said because I was his passenger he was "liable" for anything that I had on me (I had nothing and never would).
A second officer showed up on the scene, and snuck up on the front passenger side, before we were pulled out of the car. I had just removed my wallet to get my ID out in case it was asked for, and I heard a voice from my side that goes "WHAT THE FUCK IS IN YOUR POCKET????????" And I go "my wallet." And then he just stood there. Then a few minutes later the first LEO cuffed my friend because he claimed he suspected he was driving under the influence, and the second cop tells me to get out of the car. He's like "do you have any needles or anything that can stick me?" And I'm like "WTF? No" not realizing that what he did, in a bit of trickery, was sort of get me to consent to a search, by asking me if I had needles in my pockets. Even though I didn't say I that I consented. He never actually asked. So then he made me stand up against his cruiser as he went thru my pockets and jacket. We were pulled over at around 10pm, and it was a good 2 hours before they let me go, I had to have someone come pick me up.
I never filed any complaints or anything, this was a few years ago. I was just glad not to get shot or thrown into the pavement. My friend paid a fine for failure to signal, and that was it. No dui charges. I stay out of that area now. They nail out of town people every night leaving the Sands casino for anything. Some justified, some not-so-much.Last edited by Storm88000; December 16th, 2011 at 02:16 AM.

Re: Bethlehem PD's response to LTCF
If you are afraid of cops in any area of Lehigh Valley, contact me and we'll go open carry together wherever they tend to hang out. Cops tend to give people a hard time when they have a captive audience that wants something from them. But I've open carried around dozens of cops from the dozens of departments in the Bethlehem/Bethlehem City/Nazareth/surrounding Townships area and never had a problem. I'm not exaggerating.

Re: Bethlehem PD's response to LTCF
Wow, really? That's really decent of you. I'm pretty floored by that. I'm not so much scared, but more worried about how they'll handle it if I get harassed. I have a wife and kids I need to be around for...and I'm not the type to let my hard-earned rights get trampled on, especially after 2 tours in Afghaniland...
But yeah, I'm definently down to OC. I've just never done it before...and I won't lie...kinda makes me nervous. (I know, I sound like a pussy...)Popichak is probably trolling this for his next story...

Re: Bethlehem PD's response to LTCF
Much thanks for that.
I CC constantly. I don't know what it is...maybe carrying a weapon constantly in-country just made me feel better about having one, or because I read the local news enough to be bugged by the insanity that I know occurs around my home, but my weapon is always one of two places: the Galco KingTuk on my right hip, or the GunVault safe on my bed-side table.
I've just never carried OPENLY before, unless I was walking just outside my house. The neighbors have seen it on my hip when I bring in groceries, or go outside to sweep the porch, but I've just never walked down the street with an openly carried firearm before. I like the aspect of it drawing out the curious, and giving me a chance to educate...but I also worry about the local PD getting their collective panties bunched and I end up picking concrete out of my cheek and waiting for my wife to come bail me out of the local hooskow.Popichak is probably trolling this for his next story...

Smells like a Northampton County meetup.
Can I get in on the OC parade?

Re: Bethlehem PD's response to LTCF
I have zero interest in any kind of activism motivated OC event in Northampton County since there is no problem with OC in Northampton County. I do it every single day. I don't intend to suddenly act like it's something out of the ordinary that demands attention. "We're here, we're queer, accept us! Blah!!! Waaaaa!!!" Um, not for me. If there was a reason for activism I would feel differently.
But if it would help you (Micky) feel more comfortable I'd be glad to meet with you somewhere. If you contact me, because I can't promise I'll read this thread again or read it again soon. I don't always follow-up on threads.
I'm always up for meeting nice people.

Re: Bethlehem PD's response to LTCF
Fuck yeah, I'll PM ya. This sounds like a plan to me. We just need to coordinate with anyone who wants to join in, and maybe go for a walk ro some such. I'll get up with ya, and anyone else interested in going just to hang out and meet, lemme know via PM as well.
