It was for window tint. Moderately moco has the data montgomery info up on all the citations. first one listed is window tint |
That doesn't mean it was for window tint. Especially because, if it was for window tint, why didn't the press release include this information? |
DP. Hating police seems to be a type of religion for some. Guess what? Sometimes police do really good work. Actually, it tends to happen quite often. It’s called “doing their job.” On rare occasions, they even get an award for it: https://moco360.media/2020/09/25/chamber-honors-first-responders-others-for-bravery-commitment/ I watched an officer save a teenager at a football game several years ago. I suspect he didn’t get any accolades, nor did he probably expect to. It’s sad when you default to “it must be a lie.” I’m sure your response will be something about lying cops, or this fake work stoppage somebody keeps posting about. Go for it. I suspect none of us will be swayed. |
My guess is they wanted this to highlight that stops can lead to guns and drugs and not make it super-inflammatory They know Jawando dropped this bill. Saying it was window tint would really be an f-you. driving with an invalid learner's permit is the arrestable offense. It's all on data montgomery though. and he got destroyed with criminal charges, which are posted on case search montgomery. He's not going anywhere any time soon. |
I'm the PP you're responding to, except you must be responding to something else, because I said none of that. |
| It is about time the police start releasing this type of info about their work. Jawando and the anti police crowd have been controlling the entire narrative for the past three years, so when that's all people hear, they assume it must be true. and it's not. good policing helps keep the community safe. |
And bad policing does the opposite. |
Please, MCPD has absolutely no problem saying f-you to councilmembers and anyone else who wants police accountability. They didn't say they stopped the car for window tint because they didn't, and there are limits to how much MCPD can lie. It is probably a citation that was tacked on to all the others after they stopped the vehicle. Most likely, this stop was part of a larger investigation and they knew exactly who they were stopping. |
You fix that by getting rid of bad policing. Not by getting rid of all policing. Wise use of pretext stops is great policing |
Cite just one example of MCPD saying “f you” to council members. It wouldn’t be too hard to follow up with over 50 examples of council members saying it to them. |
Nobody is proposing getting rid of all policing. Pretextual stops - aka lies - are bad policing. |
I don't think you understand what pretext stops are. They are perfectly legal. |
