Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
They can repress the tape, maybe. But they cant surpess marks memorization of every word that was said when he recalls the details of the stop word for word

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
At this point, the audio is out there for everyone to hear. The cops know the audio is out there, and the Judge will probably know the audio is out there too. Not that I would put it past the PPD, but telling a story other than what is clearly going on in the audio would be a huge mistake for them to make.
Even if the audio is somehow not allowed in court, if their story is any different than the audio, we'll all know they're lying. The media might not care too much about gun carriers rights, but they'd love a story about cops lying on the stand when there is clear evidence to prove it. This case just isn't important enough for the police department, or the individual cops, to risk being embarrassed and losing the trust of the people (if there is any trust left).
Suppressing the audio and lying on the stand might help in their case against Viper, but it will definitely backfire outside of the courtroom, and hopefully the PPD is smart enough to realize that.

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
The PPD is not smart or they would have never charged Mark in the first place! Expect lies and deception on there part. I cant see how the tape could get suppressed however stranger things have happened. You are right that the press would love a good story about lies and more so in a court room. Lets just pray that they dont loose intrest in the case before the next big thing comes along!Aggies Coach Really ??? Take off the tin foil bro.

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
I brought up the suppression possibility. At this stage of the case, it should be settled. Viper or his attorney should know by now whether or not the tape will be admitted. Even if the matter is not settled, if a motion to suppress has been filed by the DA, which I'll bet it has, because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying to suppress it, they should know that as well. They may not, however, at this time, wish to divulge that information in a public forum.

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
Malicious prosecution is not a criminal offense, it is a civil cause of action. Simply put, you cannot sue a district attorney for malicious prosecution, or anything else, under Section 1983 (federal civil rights act) for things done during the course of their official prosecutorial duties since the DA is absolutely immune based on decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court. You can sue the police officers involved in the malicious prosecution though.

Re: Arrested by the Philadelphia Police for Open Carry
I do not know if this has been shared yet, but this is how an officer should act with a citizen who is open carrying. Keep in mind this encounter happened in California where the officer is allowed by law to inspect the weapon to make sure it is unloaded, the only way you can opn carry in California. Philly cops my only ask to see a LTCF to make sure the person has a LTCF.
