On the upshot they are facing a possible life sentence, though this wouldn’t be a problem if the state didn’t create the criminal environment to begin with.

#516: Michael Miceli
Because by all means if you’re a cop, protect people doing illegal things as long as they cross your palm with silver.

He’s being charged with 20 counts. Remember though, police should be the only ones allowed to have access to firearms, they’re anointed.
State Sponsored Criminal #514: Andres Snape
Because by all means if you see something you like, take it, you’re a cop, they really just want you and you’re exempt from the law.
Screwed up barely begins to describe this situation and honestly those two officers are lucky they weren’t perforated. In the current political climate, officers behaving like this could very well set off a powder keg.
Go read the whole story, it’s long enough and complicated enough I cannot easily post get all the details here. However here’s the money shot:
Berg said Warbis and Wellington remain members of the Lake Stevens Police Department.
Reading through the comments indicates that Lake Stevens has a serious problem with this type of behavior and corruption.
State Sponsored Criminal #512: Steve Warbis
#513: James Wellington
Because warrants, probable cause, and all that other stuff are for other police officers. These two can kick in whatever door they want, arrest whoever they want, threaten whoever they want, out of uniform, and absolutely nothing will happen to the officers. Instead the taxpayers payout for their crimes.

A Charlotte woman told Eyewitness News she also had cash stolen from a TSA baggage inspector at Charlotte Douglas airport.
Reggie Edwards was arrested and charged with stealing cash out of a suitcase.
Edwards was arrested again Thursday after police said they linked him to stealing $150 from a woman’s suitcase just weeks before.
So much for their “zero tolerance” policy on stealing. Someone explain to me how schools can take “zero tolerance” to a level where it resembles “zero brains”; yet the TSA runs it so low as to make it seem like it’s, “do nothing”.
State Sponsored Criminal #511: Reggie Edwards
Because when you get caught stealing as a TSA agent, your only mistake was getting caught. Have no fear though, you won’t be fired.
He has been fired, however I think that was more because of the fact his actions and getting caught compromised hundreds of cases. No word on him being charged for violating peoples rights, and more importantly though as usual:
I’m reasonably sure he will get his job back, Officer Roid Rage did.
State Sponsored Criminal #510: Marc Ferguson
Because when you violate someone’s rights being held accountable becomes a relative term when you’re a cop.
Comforting is it not. Yet another piece of technology and it’s application that I have no doubt goes back to the Patriot Act.
I’m sure no one will be held accountable for this violation of the rights of citizens, as usual.
State Sponsored Criminal #509: The Entire LAPD
Because by all means violate the rights of law abiding citizens because a criminal has decided to live somewhere near by. Though that is better than what they did to Jose Guerena for being related to a criminal.
Now, getting out of your car during a traffic stop is never a good idea unless ordered to do so. That however doesn’t excuse that cops behavior and the way he made up the law as he went along.
This guy and officer Roid-Rage would get along great.
State Sponsored Criminal #508: Andy Cox
Because an officer of the law can just make it up as he goes along and in the end qualified immunity will protect him even if grossly negligent in his understanding.

Had this protest been launched somewhere other than in the security-screening area, we would have a much different case. But Tobey’s antics diverted defendants from their passenger-screening duties for a period, a diversion that nefarious actors could have exploited to dangerous effect. Defendants responded as any passenger would hope they would, summoning local law enforcement to remove Tobey—and the distraction he was creating — from the scene.
Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson – Aaron Tobey v Terri Jones
January 25, 2013
[First here’s the background on the story.
A Virginia man who wrote an abbreviated version of the Fourth Amendment on his body and stripped to his shorts at an airport security screening area won a trial Friday in his lawsuit seeking $250,000 in damages for being detained on a disorderly conduct charge.
Now let me translate Judge Wilkinson’s quote for everyone.
Because our TSA agents and federal government so dislike those who disagree with the government infringing on personal liberties and freedom. People should no longer have 1st Amendment protections to their ability peacefully protest the behavior of the agents infringing on their 4th Amendment rights.
The fact that our paid government agents would pursue and harass a man for an extra 90 minutes because he was willing to protest is evidence he should not be allowed to voice dissent. The reason he shouldn’t be allowed is because it compounds the ignorance and inability for the TSA to do its job thus making it more likely that an agency who has a track record of catching absolutely no-one to catch even fewer.
Instead the people should just silently undergo their mistreatment and act like good cattle and just get on the cattle car to the slaughter. That way the TSA can continue stealing peoples private valuables to sell to others while under the protecting folds of working for the US Government.
Still think this whole thing is still really about making us safer? The government does nothing but destroy and trample the rights and liberties of some to make others somehow feel they are safer. When in fact the TSA guy just waves terrorists right on through because it’s merely an illusion and nothing more.
Just remember, Judge Wilkinson obviously despises the 1st Amendment as much as he despises the 4th Amendment. Thankfully his opinion was the dissenting one. -B]
