Well if this is so Please explain to me and my family for such actions against our son and my service dog along with two other citizens of Jamestown NY

On January 6th 2016 ,on or about 1:00 am My son Dakota Barber was pulled over for a load exhaust this did in no way give the Jamestown Police Dept the legal right to abuse my son or threaten him with violence destroy the interior of my truck and threaten to kill or shoot my service dog and let me add I have had my truck checked by a certified mechanic and it meets all NY state standards !!!! I have spoken with my son and have come to the conclusion that the Jamestown Police Dept, acted in such away that his rights and those in the vehicle were violated by the color of authority,when did it become the standard practice to abuse the citizens of our community by such acts to use intimidation and fear as away of crime prevention and as it is a fact no crime was committed by my son and the charges filed against the other young man who was driving are fails and by no means can hold any truth to them as I see it.
I will be seeking compensation for my vehicle as well as disciplinary action against all officers involved who acted in such away that to violate my sons rights and those of my service dog and my personnel property for what ever reason your officers have chosen to act in such ways it is un becoming and I am ashamed to call myself a citizen of this community.
I am and author and veteran and as such I have shown my son the truth in this and the actions your officer have taken against him and my property to threaten to kill my service dog well that would have been the worst thing you could have done, My son may be young and not understand all his right and that he has a right to protect himself from all forms of abuse!! but I do and have no illusion of my resolve in defending myself and my family and property from such abuse and to this letter it is my opinion Cops are systematically trained to lie and withhold information, as a part of standard interrogation techniques. The only thing they can’t do is represent themselves as lawyers. The lawyers didn’t like that so they passed a law to protect their territory. They can show up on a fire truck,, as well as impersonating anyone they think will get them the goods. They will tell you that they are only looking for information; you are not a suspect. Innocent people are increasingly spending time in jail after trying to help the cops. It might not be such a hot idea to help a cop. Button up and get a lawyer.

A law does not make a person behave in any specific way; it only represents a threat of reprisal and cannot stop a free person from taking the liberty to violate it. The sum of more laws only means more punishments and imprisonment to be carried-out by the government on the free people of our nation. Our laws should be more like; “don’t sweat the small violations and all violations are small”. Did or have you ever considered why the founders didn’t create a civil or federal police force and left policing if necessary to we the people. That as we as a nation grew we didn’t create law enforcement agencies we created police agencies for the purpose of keeping the peace, not enforcing the laws but to protect us from violence and crime and investigation, where law enforcement was strictly the purview of the legal system and the courts.

As I Instructed my son

It is always your right to demand the identification of any officer. There has been a real problem with police impersonators such as blue light rapists! or Officer to act with violent force ,You should only stop for a marked unit and uniformed officer. If any doubt exists, especially for women at night use your cellular phone to call the real police and call for help. Go to a known police station, even if in another town. An honest cop will understand. No charges may legally filed if you exercise this right. Take note of the driving habits the cop practices to press charges against the cops for any reckless driving while going to a police station. Consult an attorney. Call someone on the cellular phone before opening up for police as well.

Because of the increasing incidents of police abuse you are well advised to avoid casual conversation with any law enforcement officer in many areas. Ask the cop if you are free to leave, and walk away. If the cop says no, tell the cop you wish to have a lawyer present and any search or detention is without your consent. Say this several times so witnesses can hear you. Walk away if you are not being detained and keep going. Teach your children that the cops are not always their friends, and the cop must contact the parent for permission to ask questions.

In the case of plain clothes officers demand their identification. Wait until uniformed police arrive if you can. Never open up your car to anyone unless you are sure they are real cops. Copy down the name and badge number of any cop you encounter. If in doubt, call the agency or state police to verify their status. Again an honest cop will understand and comply. They are just as concerned with police impersonators as you are, if not more so.

Talking to the police is your decision, not their right. The police must respect request your permission and respect your decision on this matter and are forbidden by law to coerce you and by the Jamestown city Police actions on January 6 2016 the officers of this city violated that right and the rights of the two young men and one women in the vehicle by force and the color of athourity . Again silence is golden if you even suspect there is the possibility you are a suspect. Get a lawyer and keep quiet. Again, an honest cop will understand and respect your rights. Be polite, civil, and silent as my son was ! Bad cops will use all sorts of tricks so it is best to have a lawyer if you can get one! Remember, it is now LEGAL for cops to lie and use deceit, which is a moral fashion statement on the sad state of police ethics, too often an oxymoron. Too many cops will lie and try to put people into a panic, just get people to talk. Silence is golden. Above all never lie to a cop, as they will use even an innocent lie to set up as “guilty.” Holyoke Police in Massachusetts did this to Wayne Healy years ago, and he is still serving time as an innocent man. have to say my sons experience on the form mentioned time and date is what all family's should fear from their police officer who have no control over the authority they have been paid to respect and protect and serve

know this and I make this statement to all citizens of Jamestown NY

If you are calling for service as a crime victim exercise some caution as well. Some cops treat everyone including obvious innocent victims as suspects, attempting to force the innocent suspect to "prove themselves" to their satisfaction. You might find yourself falsely arrested and victimized twice. Witness the Bostik case in Philadelphia. Some criminals attempt to pass themselves off as "victims," lying to evade lawful arrest, hurting the honest citizen. Try to understand the position the good cop is in. At the same time you don't have to tolerate any police abuse, in which case you should file a complaint and get legal counsel. The cops are there to serve you so demand you be served and not harassed. Witnesses again are a big defense..

Examples

A case in Torrington, Connecticut resulted in a couple being wrongfully arrested on the basis of perjured testimony. As a result the couple was wrongly charged of attempting to sell their baby. The Connecticut State Department Of Child and Youth Services took their baby away, and was able to persuade a court to permanently take away their parental rights. Even after the court found both parents not guilty, the state refuses to return the child, fighting hearings lead by Chief State's Attorney Bailey. Had the Torrington Police Department done their job right the first time, a family tragedy could have been avoided. If you check the record, this department was under federal investigation some years ago long with Waterbury and New Britain Police Departments. This is not a new problem in Torrington.

Defending your rights is a duty of all citizens and an issue we face today all across our country with violence by those we pay to protect ourselves and our families

If the police show up at your residence or place of business wanting to investigate a “hit and run” motor vehicle accident, do not allow them to view your car if possible. Call your lawyer and make arrangements that way, directing the cops to leave. This is another set up opportunity for a crooked cop. Much of what they need for information is available on the computer so this might even be an opportunity to “plant” evidence to frame you.
If a detective approaches you be aware they "fish" to try to shake out whom they think is guilty. A common approach is to tell you "We know that....." to try to make you talk, when they really don't know anything. Some will try to move in on your physical space to make you uncomfortable. Order the offender to move away as this is a criminal offense known as assault. Unfortunately some detectives treat everyone like a suspect. They will move in on personal space and sometimes-even touch your body to display power. Since it is illegal for anyone to touch you like this, politely direct the offender to cease, as this is criminal assault by a police officer. Advise the officer/offender that you are filing charges of assault and battery. Be cool and calm, while considering if you wish to place the police violator under citizens arrest, your words to this effect require the criminal cop be cuffed, fingerprinted and more. Accept nothing less.

If you are detained for questioning under ANY circumstances, consider yourself a suspect as My son was and then threatened and abused by the officers of the Jamestown PD ! And there it is Cops are allowed to lie and coerce you in an attempt to break down a suspect to get them to talk. There are many bad cops who will lie stating they have all sorts of evidenced against you as a ploy to get you to talk. Another ploy is to get you to go through “hypothetical scenarios” where you would be the guilty party, asking you how you would have acted under those circumstances; they will use this as a “confession.” Some will feign “sympathy” towards a suspect to show them they “understand” why they would commit such a crime. Another trick is to try to get a person to “doubt” their own memory, suggesting they did commit the crime, and then push for a “confession.” A number of innocent people have had death row sentences overturned because of this unprofessional practice that is too common in law enforcement. Ask for a lawyer every time they talk to you! The bad cops will keep you up many hours without food, water, medicine, sleep or legal advice to “break” a suspect. Alaska and Minnesota now have laws that require all interrogations be videotaped so use this to your advantage. If you have been denied food, water, sleep, medicine, legal representation or are ill repeatedly say so as the tape will protect you. The use of taped interrogations is becoming more widespread now as multi-million dollar awards for wrongful convictions due to bad cops are becoming common. Again, refuse to answer any questions until your lawyer is there because many dirty cops use tricks to get their case on innocent people! Connecticut cops are well known for playing the game called “Lets Pretend.” They act like a person is not a suspect and badger what they want, and then arrest their victim. Since the person was supposed to be a suspect, the Miranda rights get sidestepped. Innocent people go to prison and have their lives destroyed by these kind of cops. If you are talking to a cop, you are a suspect! Clam up and get a lawyer.

Every citizen should understand A growing number of states are passing laws to require police electronically record all interrogations in the filed or in the station to protect against these kinds of abuses.

As it was clear to me and my son on January 6th 2016 that Many police officers are being trained to systematically sidestep the Miranda Warnings. For example they might talk with someone and then get around to telling the person they are being arrested or they came with a warrant. Just don’t talk and you have done what you can to protect yourself! But the officers of the Jamestown police dept would have non of this and acted with violence and intimidation and threats of violence by their actions which is a violation of the rights of all citizens of the community of Jamestown NY

I Have witnesses this around this country and know in my own home town for which I am paying taxes!!!!. It is always essential to get an attorney involved. You might innocently say something that is misused by overzealous police and gets you in trouble. Politely and civilly explain you don't want to talk without consulting your attorney. A good cop will understand and comply as required by law. You don't have to explain why, or say any more. and by that no officer has the right to destroy of damage your property by the color of authority or threaten to do you or any member of your famiy harm and that is to included one pet and in this case a serve animal belonging to a veteran
