Coulple nabs cop, charged with stalking!
cn | 19 February, 2007 18:35Well, it seems that if you wish to keep tabs on the police, you'd better be prepared to defend yourself. In this land of 'freedom' it can be quite dangerous to stand up to what you believe to be corruption in any part of the government, let alone the men with guns. A couple in Georgia found this out when they set up a radar detector on their property and recorded a cop speeding past their house at 17mph over the speed limit (from the Daily Tribune News):
Lee and Teresa Sipple spent $1,200 mounting three video cameras and a radar speed unit outside their home, which is at the bottom of a hill. They have said they did so in hopes of convincing neighbors to slow down to create a safe environment for their son.
The Sipples allegedly caught Kennesaw police officer Richard Perrone speeding up to 17 mph over the speed limit. Perrone alerted Bartow authorities, who in turn visited the Sipples' home to tell them Perrone intended to press charges against them for stalking.
The thing is, too many people believe the police are the final upholders of what's good and right and allow the police to be the final word in all things without standing up for - and often without even knowing - what their rights are...which can be a major problem when those supposedly upholding our rights (the police) don't know what they are either...
