Any policemen on here? What do you think of this? This man is more than likely DEAD. What are you going to do? Give it to his next of kin and give him a criminal record? Bury it with him so you can say you upheld the law? $30 - you make me sick.

Isn't there a statute of limitations on that sort of thing?

What a joke...... :nono:

 

[Poodles]

First one is a bit dumb, more than likely the guy is dead and even if he isn't, he could probably easily pay...

The second one is an unopened can, at speed it COULD kill someone...

Nobody bounce a check! You may be arrested.

Dunckel is a LEO. atlpd is too. There are a few others about.

The first link is kind of dumb, but it probably illustrates a problem with the law not the Sheriff enforcing it.

The second one, well, if you are going to throw a beer at a cop car, you get what you get. It's something that isn't written in law, but probably should be: "Being an asshole is an invitation for the police to fuck with you..."

Wow. With all the real problems this....this is what police care about

Calling a beer can a "deadly missle" is a bit over the top, no? Sure it's can hurt and kill, but it doesn't go boom.

i'm agreeing on the second one, cans will definitely do some damage. a while back a few kids here in VA were charged with the same thing, but they were throwing snowballs at cars.

I guess it kind of depends on a few factors. A full unopened beer can (which is what they threw) is not something you want to get hit with. One could easily kill you if it hit you in the head.

Now add the speed of a moving car to the equation. I don't think this charge is all that outrageous. This falls way beyond the bounds of "good fun" and "peaceful protest".
