Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
This whole thing is completely idiotic, and I hope the first judge to get a whiff of it dismisses it with extreme prejudice, and frankly, the two cops involved should be suspended without pay for a few weeks to give them some time to think about their moronic actions.
Pathetic stuff like this is why so much of the public has such a mistrust of LEOs.

If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.
For legal reasons, that's a joke.
If the banana was organic, would it be a misdemeanor?
As Harry would say, "Daylight come, and me wanna go home...."
1% of any employees on any job will give the other 99% a bad reputation.
How many other professions actually have their own internal affairs? The police among police. If you think their are members of the public who dislike cops, ask the average cop what they think about IA.
I imagine these two deputies out on the Western Slope are enjoying all of the attention they are receiving from their peers. How many bananas can you stuff into a locker? Banana scented candles in the break room or banana scented air freshners in the car. Lots of fun with photoshop around the station. Nick names that will last years. I would guess the charges get reduces if not completely dismissed, but that is only a guess on my part. I think these stories make news because they are not that common. I also have a suspicion that along with focusing on gun crimes, the media has been intensifying their interest into police misconduct. It gets people to hit their web sites, and the editors have an agenda. That is just my opinion, however, and I have no evidence, other than anecdotal to support that opinion.
I know where Fruita is, but didn't know the area just east of GJ and west of Clifton was called Fruitvale. I always assumed it was part of Clifton.
Be safe.
I thought Canon City area was the banana belt of Colorado...
Is Grand Junction being taken over by banana cartels?
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

There was a time when that was a derogatory term describing Central and South American dictatorships propped up by US corporations and the USMC. Now it is a derogatory term describing an over priced, metro sexual clothing store.
Oh the times they are a changing
I was joking about the former until you brought up the latter.There was a time when that was a derogatory term describing Central and South American dictatorships propped up by US corporations and the USMC. Now it is a derogatory term describing an over priced, metro sexual clothing store.

Your right, these days the latter is more applicable.
Look, pointing ANYTHING at a cop is just plain stupid. Stupid is not a crime, or else everyone on the planet would have done time at some point.
As Heinlein said, "Stupidity is it's own punishment."
Why would you even put yourself in a situation where you were pulling a banana on police to begin with?
