4. Disturbing video of legally-armed citizen harrassed in Norfolk
**************************************************
http://tinyurl.com/297aao
This video is from the second police cruiser to respond to a "man with a gun" call in Norfolk. A private security guard saw the citizen and called the police. There is not much any of us can do to avoid being checked out by the police. The lessons are: 1) carry a recording device; 2) FOIA the police radio traffic and police car video/audio tapes; 3) don't resist -- but make your claims of innocence so the officer, his recording device, and bystanders are aware of it.

This vid is from LEO2's dashcam. LEO1's dashcam only caught him coming outside his car with gun in hand, then pointing it at me with no audio.
On 6/29/07 approx 5:22pm, I was picking up a friend in downtown Norfolk. At the time, I didn't have A/C and it was 110 outside, so I stood outside my car in order to remain cool. What happened next I could expect, however what the NPD did, I could not.
They had me at gunpoint, they placed handcuffs on me, illegally searched me, illegally detained, and when it was all said and done, no apology, just if you come out here, you will get this kind of "attention".
For those of you unfamiliar with police procedure, it is unlawful for a law enforcement officer to detain/search you without probable cause - Terry vs Ohio.
Please ask any questions about the dialogue.
I'm going to take this to a lawyer, but I would like to hear from you guys, what I should do next.
Thanks so much for the support!!!
