"Isn't talking through a crack in the window one of the strategies taught in rights preservation videos?? I wonder why they arrested him. "


I'm not sure if at the end of the day that he was arrested.

I heard that when they did a sweep pass Silicone Village, the dog did an "alert". The guy got in his car and drove away. They immediately stopped him at the intersection where greeter's camp was.

I spoke to my brother-in-law when I got home, a retired cop, he said that the minute he didn't obey instructions... " please get out of the car now" the guy escalated the issue. "When you stop someone you don't know what the person is doing when they stall and do not respond to instructions."

Anyway, as he opened his door they gabbed him. He was saying "I'm not resisting arrest. I do not give you permission to search my car, I have nothing on me that can harm you." He was on the ground at this time, being handcuffed. The drug dog jumped into his car but didn't do an alert.

A minute later the whole corner was filled with police and ranger cars from every dept known to man.

One of the Greeters and a person who camped near me saw the entire encounter and reported it to BMORG immediately. I caught it as the guy was being pulled from his car.

So like I said, at the end of the day I don't know if they pressed charges for who knows what, but that guy's day (week? Burn? month?) was definitely ruined by going through being thrown to the ground, handcuffed and put in a police car and driven away.

I was freaked out. I couldn't even begin to imagine what that skinny bearded guy was going through.
