Arrested and beaten for exercising his rights. I have a feeling that these officers disliked concealed carry and felt a way to go Roid Rage on someone. The proof in this case is in the fact that he wasn’t charged either.
State Sponsored Criminal #355:
Because if you don’t like that someone is carrying legally, beat them and arrest them.
h/t Uncle.
So if you or I had discovered a raid was about to happen to a friend and we called to warn them, would the DA only be “considering” charges in that case?
Yeah I don’t think so either.

Because tipping off your buddies to a “lawful” raid is perfectly acceptable if you’re “anointed”.

The city had to settle the suit for over $1 million dollars. That’s right those two individuals cost the city $1 million in tax payer funds* and they are now employed some place else to repeat the process.
It is not as if there wasn’t cause to fire them either:
But evidently the County sheriff feels that those are the type of men he wants around his citizens.

Because when you lie and violate the rights of citizens that is perfectly acceptable for you to go work some place else. It’s not like someone who exercises bad judgment should get a job in a different line of work.
*I realize that while tax payers foot the bill, ultimately it’s the insurance company paying out. What the taxpayers will foot is the increased rates because of their actions. In the end that actually has the potential to cost the public more than just the payout.
Honestly this one’s hard to actually say he’s really been held accountable as long as he’s still breathing. However it is a nice start and if they put him in with the general population he would be on his way to finding out what it’s like to be on the receiving end.
Ronald Baker, may never know the benefit and safety solitary confinement would give you.
I toyed with the idea of setting up a bogus profile as a 22-year-old named Tiffani-with-an-“i” myself, but figured that I’d run afoul of the Department of Natural Resources for hunting over bait.

[I have mixed feelings about Foursquare and for the most part still haven’t figured out the purpose. I will say it was nice when Ry and Joe came over for testing since it let me know Ry had arrived in town. Just the same that’s a bit creepy.
I have disabled geo-tagging on the pictures on my phone and have otherwise disabled the location tracking in any application I do use. I don’t let Facebook or Twitter tell people where I am when I push a status update. It is amazing though the amount of information people will push out into public and then act surprised when then figure out bad people can do bad things with it.
Ars Technica wrote up two articles which I highly recommend reading. The first was hardening your Android smart phone from stalkers. The second was the same but geared towards you folks with your iPhones.
I have had many conversations with an individual directly tied to the Windows Phone 7 location system. Bad people doing bad things was of serious concern during development. However standing out in the open while willingly telling your phone, “Yes, tell everyone on the internet exactly where I am right now” kind of defeats their work.
Be safe out there and remember the following: Anything that goes on the internet is ultimately public, especially those things tied to social media.
All that said, I have at times thought the same thing as Tam. Hell when there was a supposed serial rapist on campus I was coming up with ingenious ways to go hunting while not getting caught. I think that was probably a trait inherited from my father, I distinctly remember hearing about him wanting to drive around Tacoma during a rash of car jackings. Maybe if law enforcement would actually catch criminals people wouldn’t think about catching the predators on their own.
Then again, with the attitude that everyone is responsible for crime prevention that could be encouraged. It is merely the job of professional law enforcement to solve crimes after they have happened. Ultimately I don’t have a problem with hunting two legged varmints over bait and find it perfectly fair and ethical. They can remain unharmed quite simply by not trying to victimize someone. -B]
The worker dragged the dog into the Walmart where the deputy managed to get the dog off of him.
If that had been your dog or mine, it would be destroyed as a dangerous animal and we would carry personal liability for the action of the animal. The handler here is at fault as well for not maintaining positive control of his animal.
Interestingly, I wonder what would happen if the the store employee killed the dog. If you assault a police dog it is considered assaulting a police officer. The courts when involved with a human officer tend to look down on you defending yourself against a corrupt cop unless there is some serious evidence. Heck, Indiana for a while even forbade it, stating you can seek redress in the courts.
I suspect you would not end up in jail, but I’m sure that you would still end up in front of a jury. I can guarantee you this officer is not even going to be suspended, and the dog will continue on duty as normal.

Because when a police K-9 goes berserk in a public place it’s excusable. When you’re dog bites someone in your yard that shouldn’t be there, they put it down. If it just looks at a cop they kill it.
Now while he was convicted, the following must also be noted:
He certainly could get pegged for 20 years, and that would be a good start. He is a Sponsored Criminal for the following reason though:
This is by no means anything new, and it has come up plenty of times before in the count. The department even upon discovering the information didn’t fire him, instead they allowed him to resign. Maybe if the department wants a positive public image they should grow some balls and discipline their officers themselves and not just rely on the law. There is this thing called morals and ethics that exist outside the law and you should make your officers exercise good judgment in both regions.
State Sponsored Criminal #348: Mark D. Baggett
Because the biggest mistake he made wasn’t doing what he did, it was getting caught. That’s why we didn’t fire him, we just were going to suspend him without pay while he rotted in jail.
Save it for court, never argue on the side of the road it will just land you in trouble. This however attracted my attention.
Imagine that, you gave an officer with no way to be held accountable committing assault. Not just committing assault but getting away with it.
State Sponsored Criminal #347: Sean B. Davidson
Because you too can commit felonious assault and not get charged by merely joining the North Carolina State Patrol.
