Couple Who Catch Cop Speeding Could Face Charges

a_nonamiss writes "A Georgia couple, apparently tired of people speeding past their house, installed a camera and radar gun on their property. After it was installed, they caught a police office going 17MPH over the posted limit. They brought this to the attention of the local police department, and are now being forced to appear in front of a judge to answer to charges of stalking."

    Anyone hit by a taser shrieks in pain.

    I saw that video. That kid earned the taser hit. All he had to do was get up and leave.

    Around here every cop who carries a taser has been shocked by one at least a few times. They know exactly what they are doing to you when they use the taser, and 99% of them wish they never had to.

    Well, you could always, CONTACT BARTOW COUNTY MAGISTRATE COURT and give them a piece of your mind!

    I think that anyone who feels this is injustice has an obligation as a citizen to contact the office of their elected or representative official and tell them they will not stand for this kind of tyranny!

    This is just like the guy busted in CT for photographing the police. It's a classic abuse of power.

    And the idiots of this country still think Bush is doing a good job and the Patriot Act is a good thing as well.

    Go figure.

    "court, humor" are hardly inspiring. Please add "fascist" . If you have doubts, please check with the world's most dangerous person.

    I hope I have contributed to the conversation about democracy and freedom in the United States of America.

    If the police serve me badly, what can I do? Move to another town.

    Gotta love that American law, where someone can charge somebody accusing them (with evidence) of breaking the law
