Great, not only do you try and stop a cop who was speeding, but you argue with him. I love the part about the father coming from church and then getting arrested.

Maybe they will now know that you only say "Yes, Sir" and "No, Sir" to any law enforcement official.

Her husband Hal Champion, 47, then arrived from church, was shot with a deputy's Taser and taken into custody on similar charges.

That's got to be the funniest sentence I've read in awhile. It sounds so matter-of-fact. hehe

Deputy sheriffs, like anyone else, can be placed under citizens arrest. Don't do it so as to interfer with police work, because that is against the law. Even if you know what you are doing, I wouldn't advise doing it, because he will remember you.

I was expecting this to be a thread about Tibor.

 

[osugrad21]

What would possess someone to pull over a cop? No wonder Cops makes so many shows in the south

 

[vrbryant]

My first ever Tibor bashing...

I was expecting this to be a thread about Tibor.

I thought he was one of the founding fathers.

Being called stupid by Thump, the Ralph Wiggum of BuckeyePlanet?

 

[methomps]

Perhaps this will inspire a new kind of Cops show where the black guys chase down the police.

Tibor,

Who actually gives you reputation points?

All of your aliases?

citizens arrest is a joke. best bet is to tape it or call it in. i personally have always found it beneficial to not get into arguements with people who are armed and legally allowed to shoot me. crazy i know, but thats just how i roll.

Oh well, here is another (current) example of trying to arrest a cop for speeding:

Couple Catches Neighborhood Speeders, Officer

ATLANTA -- A Bartow County couple is fighting back against neighborhood speeders. Lee and Teresa Sipple live at the bottom of a steep hill outside of Rome and say most motorists ignore the posted speed limit and zoom by their house, endangering them and their 2-year-old son. But now, fighting back could land them in jail.

Lee and Teresa Sipple have an upcoming court date to see if they will be arrested for messing with a cop.

Excerpt from the law:

(a)(1) A person commits the offense of stalking when he or she follows, places under surveillance, or contacts another person at or about a place or places without the consent of the other person for the purpose of harassing and intimidating the other person.

Hey, cop...sorry, donut boy, but catching you redhanded doesn't constitute harassment or intimidation. Not even in the same solar system as the intended definition of stalking...
