ORIGINAL: corsetgirl There has to be probable cause to arrest this person and from what I have seen, there was none to indicate an arrest, a strip search and forced sedation. I know some people think drug dealers don't change but there are some who do with their lives despite their past criminal offenses. My belief is that the cops who arrested this person should be fired. The Albany Police Department should pay for the hospital bill, which might be excellent to settle before getting one or two lawsuits that would be a burden to the taxpayers who would have to pay for most of the litigating attorney(s) fees! Ah, but that is so 70's and touchingly innocent. The point of the main thrust of this conversation is that a prior record is probable cause. Remember, first they jacked him and ran his record, then they juiced and poked him. The whole idea that our civil rights are gradually being eroded away - and like frogs in boiling water, we're content with our lot - is overlooked. Cops used to get suspended and prosecuted for shooting people with plastic handguns. Now you can't even reach for a cell phone, and not only is it simply part of a days work, most people notice only how stupid the dude was, the asscam fool, the cell phone secret agent, and they completely overlook how these things are happening more often, to people they know, for increasingly less "probable cause." I know, it happened to me. I never thought I'd see a battering ram on my own porch, but on March 1st, after a three month investigation, the local sherrifs' deputies decided that I had "harassed" someone through an online forum, much like this one. "It's a serious crime, sir." They took my computer, a gaming rig I built myself, my modem and my router and I haven't heard from them since...oh, except for the ancillary charges they made which resulted from invading my privacy, I'm still dealing with those. But it's all good, y'all just hunker down in your smug complicency and people like the dude in the op and myself will keep reminding you's why the second amendment is there.
