the speed limit on friday. state trooper pulled him in yadkinville, 77 in a 65. he didnt have his license on him but knew his # by heart. the trooper slung him out of the car, cuffed him and took him to the magistrate. i guess its cause that guy got shot but shit, hes in college and was just driving up to boone for a friends wedding. was any of that warranted?

6/22/2008 8:45:52 PM

if he was black, yes

6/22/2008 8:46:28 PM

either someone's lying or we got a robocop on our hands.

6/22/2008 8:46:47 PM

something doesnt add up

6/22/2008 8:47:35 PM

I don't believe a word of that.

6/22/2008 8:48:45 PM

well it is illegal to drive without your license. its not the same as not having one, so its not a misdemeanor, so i dont know what warrants the trip downtown... but im not as up with it as i once was

6/22/2008 8:48:53 PM

should've had his license on him

6/22/2008 8:49:27 PM

I think it's just a citation. Nothing more...

Regardless, I'm sure stuff like this does happen but most of the time when people say they didn't do anything, they are lying...

6/22/2008 8:50:02 PM

yeah he should have the license skull implant

^^ die in a fire

6/22/2008 8:50:03 PM

yea he has cuff marks on his wrists the cop put them on wrong and didnt listen to him when he told them something wasnt right. my brother is a clean cut guy too, dont get it at all but i think its pretty fucked up

6/22/2008 8:50:26 PM

ive been taken to the magistrate... but only because i was doing 51 over.

6/22/2008 8:51:05 PM

ive had bruises for a good 10 days after a cop encounter, thats just thangs

6/22/2008 8:51:09 PM

my bro said he told the cop he didnt have his license, and the cop started screaming "WHY WAS IT REVOKED, WHY WAS IT REVOKED" and my brother just left it at the house. he said it took at least 5 minutes to get that straight because the trooper assumed he was driving with a revoked license.

innocent until proven guilty my ass. i mean ive heard alot of stories about fucked up cops but now im genuinely fucking pissed because they messed with my brother

[Edited on June 22, 2008 at 8:54 PM. Reason : .]

6/22/2008 8:53:45 PM

he was probably a smart ass to the cop.

6/22/2008 8:55:19 PM

I've been pulled over for speeding twice... both times the cops let me go without even a written warning

6/22/2008 8:56:18 PM

who had gotten shot?

6/22/2008 8:56:39 PM

Yeah I got pulled for 94 in a 55 and got a warning ticket, something doesnt add up here

6/22/2008 8:58:02 PM

i almost got arrested for driving without my license. i think the cop just wanted to harrass me

i think the only reason i didn't was b/c my brother was with me

[Edited on June 22, 2008 at 8:58 PM. Reason : i've been pulled for speeding twice and got a ticket both times ]

6/22/2008 8:58:16 PM

Oh no not cuff marks on the wrist. That must be the most horrible pain ever.

fire that cop

6/22/2008 9:05:36 PM

with all of the highway patrol misconduct lately, I'm sure his superior officers and maybe Monica Laliberte would love to hear about that. as a side note, my wife has gotten 2 tickets for driving with a license she didn't know was suspended due to the fact that a dismissed ticket was not recorded with the DMV and no notification was sent. The first one was an inspection ticket in Wake co. and the other was a registration ticket in Robeson County. In Wake Co. the clerk admitted the mistake, but not so in Robeson. The suspended license tickets got/will get dismissed, but it still costs a bunch of money and a lot of headache to get the license reinstated.

6/22/2008 9:08:18 PM

i've got 2 tickets.... both for 77 in a 55

6/22/2008 9:09:08 PM

Actually failure to carry, failure to provide, and not having a license are all the same (they are all misdemeanors). You can charge any misdemeanor on a citation or be taken to the magistrate. Being suspended or revoked is just a stronger misdemeanor (Class 1 instead of 3). yes you can be arrested for failing to carry or provide your license its just up to the cop. They all fall under G.S. 20-7. Driving while revoked is 20-28. There actions are normally based on your actions.

6/22/2008 9:17:32 PM

^

6/22/2008 9:20:20 PM

haha owned by fact

6/22/2008 9:27:34 PM

NO, failure to produce a license falls under Civil Failure 134 in which they can only take you to your parents but if you're over 18 they cant touch you
Cops cannot increase or decrease penalties based on behavior because of Latrell vs. Hockney decision in 87



yeah yeah i got dat knowledge

6/22/2008 9:32:22 PM

There actions are normally based on your actions.

Probably it, but it doesn't justify the cop being a dick.

6/22/2008 9:45:56 PM

Oh certainly, it doesn't justify any of it.

They'll still be a dick if you're a dick though, just like any normal person.

6/22/2008 9:47:08 PM

i doubt he was a dick, he said he was pretty quiet

and

Quote :

so when a cop causes you bodily pain and has no right to do so its ok because its "not that painful"?

6/22/2008 11:28:39 PM

^ i think legally the cop had the right to cuff him and do what he did.

But, it's a complete dick move, especially if your bro wasn't doing anything else.

6/22/2008 11:29:51 PM

he was 20, had no alcohol in the car, no drugs in the car and was going 12 over. for fucks sake they have a computer system and can bring his id up with his driver license number which he knew.

6/22/2008 11:31:43 PM

been pulled twice for speeding

once for 65 in a 45 and another time for 80 in a 65.

verbal warning both times.

if you're nice to the cops, they're almost always nice to you.
(plus the star of life on the back of my car seems to help too)

6/22/2008 11:32:54 PM

I got a ticket two years ago for speeding and I forgot my license at home. The cop made me call a friend to drive me home leaving the car there... He still cited me for not having the license on me. Another time, I got pulled for illegal tag placement on the bike and again forgot my license, but I was 1/2 mile from my house and had the cop follow me. He checked my license and just gave me a warning.

Some days, I just forgot to take my wallet. It's not like it's the end of the world, although I haven't been hassled by cops in 2 years.

6/22/2008 11:35:57 PM

hmmm. i got pulled for 15 over without my license on the way back from a trip to the park. (left it at home, park is a mile away and I just decided not to take my wallet)... I got a warning.

Cops only do shit to you (within their legal means) if you are a dick...


So I ask you then:

No i'm saying he shouldn't be a bitch. The handcuffs were a little tight and caused a small amount of pain no big deal.

6/22/2008 11:43:09 PM

no they werent put on straight and were cutting into his wrists.

6/22/2008 11:44:26 PM

It is officer's call. You can be arrested if you have no photo id to prove who you are. Sorry for your bro man.

6/22/2008 11:45:44 PM

don't be a bitch. Good god i swear everybody now a days bitches about the slightest amount of pain. Oh god no it hurt a little bit big fucking deal.

6/22/2008 11:46:20 PM

[no]

you can get arrested if you dont have your license when you are driving

that is vastly different than getting arrested for no photo id although i wouldnt be surprised if that was an offense in our lifetimes the way the federal government is going

the fucking point is that he shouldnt have been cuffed. hes a fucking man, he didnt bitch about it. IM the one bitching about it. no were not going to make it a fucking issue, im sure hell just pay off the speeding ticket and move on.

6/22/2008 11:48:36 PM

Did he have proper cuts into his wrists or anything more serious than a bruise? Did he have any injury to any muscles or to any of his bones as a result of being arrested?

If it's a little nick and a bruise or two you really can't complain that much. If he caused your brother actual bodily injury then you might have reason to file a complaint against the officer, but really the best thing to do is to let it go. The officer got a bad vibe about your brother for some reason, decided to haul him in to teach him a lesson, and the issue is now past.

You really don't have the power to do much of anything at all in this situation besides do the equivalent of bitching on the internet (i.e. file a complaint about the officer).

So what happened at the magistrates?

6/22/2008 11:52:57 PM

my dad faxed over a copy of his passport and he was released
