Aurora PD

[Ridge]

That looks like Buckley and Iliff.

I had heard that late yesterday morning someone robbed the Wells Fargo on Chambers and Hampden.

just another case that shows the Bill of Rights (in this case the 4th Amendment) is just a piece of paper used to wipe the govt asses

[MrPrena]

This is serious shiit.
Surprised that civil rights division is not investigating this yet.

This case brings huge externality to the society (or this case, people who was held against their will).
This definitely shows that there were Greater social marginal cost relative to the marginal benefit.
I sure don't want to get held against my will on a handcuff till they find a guy for hours.

good thing we live in the freest nation in the world
You know, otherwise people might start to think that is resembles a police state.

but luckily, we're just fine, the government said so.

I thought I got banned for posting this!

If the police are stopping 19 cars at an intersection, and detaining the drivers/passengers and searching the vehicles, then they don't have "probable cause" at all. If you can't identify a subject vehicle enough to sort out your suspects, you don't have cause to stop any of them. Aurora PD was out of line and they know it.

I'll be writing the city council to inform them of my opinion of their out of control PD.

So if you refuse consent, besides saying "no you cannot search my car am I now free to go" what else should come out of your mouth?

[Not_A_Llama]

Interesting how you can always tell who fell asleep in civics... Some of our board members have a terrifying concept of what constitutes "probable cause".

When you step out of your vehicle lock your doors, dont give concent to search do not answer any questions, and dont say another word. Consult your attorney.

Knowing what I know now, I'd stick to my guns and if he detained me for that long I'd be calling someone... then submitting a very nicely worded written complaint to his superiors and local government.

The longer you are unlawfully detailed the better chance of receiving money from the city

Good advice... almost too good.
