Lee Bell - 14 Nov 2007 04:16 GMT MIAMI - No charges will be pursued against a television reporter who was arrested near a school while carrying a loaded gun, authorities said Tuesday. Jeffrey Weinsier of WPLG-TV, an ABC network affiliate, was arrested in late October after police said he carried a weapon onto the grounds of Miami Central High School and refused to cross the street when asked by an officer. The encounter was caught by a cameraman on videotape, which the state attorney's office used to decide that no charges would be filed against Weinsier, Assistant State Attorney Maggie Gerson wrote in a memo released Tuesday. Weinsier had faced charges of armed trespass on school property, possession of a weapon, violation of carrying a concealed weapon and resisting arrest without violence. Weinsier, who was investigating a story on school violence, was not on school grounds when approached by police and ordered to leave, Gerson said. ``Since the defendant was not trespassing, anything that was found on the defendant after he was arrested will be suppressed as a matter of law,'' Gerson wrote. Weinsier's actions did not appear disruptive and students had been dismissed from classes when he was arrested, Gerson said. The reporter began carrying a gun after he received death threats stemming from a series he did about unsanitary conditions at restaurants, according to the station. Weinsier has a concealed weapons permit, police had said.
``From day one, I knew that I had been on the public sidewalk outside the school,'' Weinsier said Tuesday. ``I knew the law clearly. This is false arrest.'' The reporter said he has filed a formal complaint with the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department and is reviewing the possibility of legal action.
Now that stuff will really hit the fan. False arrest, violation of the reporter's constitutional rights, violation of freedom of the press, violation of the right to keep and bear arms, perjury, false imprisonment and who knows what else. The lawyers will have a field day.

You guys should all join together in a militia and move to Montana. If you stockpile enough weaponry, no cops will try to "falsely" arrest you.

Lee never suggested it was "the only", nor did I. Lee suggested it was "one of" and I suggested he was sick for saying so. All those chiming in on Lee's behalf are likewise sick. There can be no justification to shoot a cop unless that cop is illegally using deadly force against someone. "False arrest" unless accompanied by said illegal deadly force is never a justification to shoot a cop as Lee so sickly suggested.
Do you agree with Lee, as his ass-swabbers Scott and Curtis so obviously do, that it would have been OK for the reporter to shoot the cop? If so, you too can join my list of sick sociopaths. As soon as Hillary gets elected, I'm forwarding my list to BATF for possible preemptive intervention.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I don't think illegal use of deadly force is the only situation, but mostly I agree with that.

Perhaps I missed that post.
And no, I don't agree that it would have been "OK".
> If so, you too can join my list of sick sociopaths. I'm sure I could probably do that anyway. By the way, my first handgun entered my house last week. It's small and easily concealable and it will probably be upgraded soon, but it fits my wife's hand well and I figure that she's more likely to practice with it if it's comfortable. Once she gets proficient, we'll see about upgrading to something with a little more oomph. Besides, it was inexpensive and ammo for it is cheap (comparitively).
It's a Bersa 380.

All those >> chiming in on Lee's behalf are likewise sick. There can be no >> justification to shoot a cop unless that cop is illegally using deadly >> force against someone. Depends on your definition of use deadly force, doesn't it. The cop was carrying a gun. So was the reporter. The cop used physical force, along with the threat implied by display of the gun, to commit a series of crimes against the reporter. Had the cop drawn and fired, I suppose Greg would admit he had used deadly force against the reporter. By the time things escalated to that point, the reporter would be dead. It's a bit late to defend himself at that point.
Greg clearly believes that it is OK for the police to violate Constitutional Rights at their discression, backed up by deadly force, but that it is not OK for a law abiding citizen, or the press, to defend their rights in the same manner. He's wrong. It's not the first time.

It's illegal for authorities to share the information, but Greg thinks it's find for him to do so. As usual, the law applies to everyone else. Greg's above all of that.

How the f.ck can you represent "the law" in the U.S. if you have such a hard time coming up with a definition of deadly force?
Now you're supporting shooting cops preemptively, because they have the potential to use deadly force because they're armed? So any time that I get stopped by a cop in traffic and I don't think I did anything wrong, it's OK to shoot the cop in the face and drive on, and if I get arrested for murder I'll simply tell them I was using Lee's rationale of defending myself from potentially deadly force?
What an idiot. It's scary you're representing U.S. "law" enforcement, but I suppose it's no different than any other branch of our corrupt and incompetent government.

I fully suppose the false-arrestee's right to redress in the appropriate forum. If the cop falsely arrested the reporter, then go ahead and sue the department with my blessing. I'm merely pointing out how ludicrous and potentially dangerous is your suggestion of shooting the cop.

> I don't think illegal use of deadly force is the only situation, but mostly > I agree with that. How's about illegal use of deadly force or force likely to cause great bodily harm? I think that's textbook self-defense grounds, though it's been a long time since Crim Law.
Basically anything less than great bodily harm or death is considered reversible or compensable enough to require the cop's "victim" to seek after-the-fact redress in the appropriate forum, i.e. sue the pigs in court. Now it would suck, for example, if the cop shot your dog because he felt like it. But there's no court in this country that would excuse you for shooting the cop in retaliation.

Could it have been legal? Who knows, but > somehow I doubt it. No, it could not have been legal. That's why it confounds and sickens me that a supposed LEO such as Lee would even suggest such an idea. It certainly gives people the wrong message. There are a lot of sicko suckups reading this group who probably read Lee's post and thought, "gee, the next time a cop tries to stop me for speeding and I'm going the flow of traffic, I'll shoot out his tires" or something else along those lines.
Heck, just yesterday, a guy who read Lee's post shot his mailman for delivering the mail late. Mailmen have had it coming to them for years, to be sure, and they're hardly innocent of inflicting random workplace shootings, but I believe shooting them is improperly bypassing the normal complaint and grievance procedures.

I have drawn on a cop entering my property and menaced by my dog to prevent him from shooting my dog (his weapon was unholstered and aimed before I could get there). I made him state his business before calling of the dog and reholstering my weapon.
THe supervisor deemed it justified, and no charges were brought. IT was interesting there for a while.

I told her one day that I could always tell when she was on the rag because she would start having abnormal mood swings. over the next few months, we assembled a collection of vitamins that keep her pretty centered (no massive swings). If things get out of hand again, I'm sure we'll take appropriate measures.

I made comment on the lack of reporting of the complaint filed and possible legal action against the police, without making public my opinion on that either, other than lack of reporting implies covering up an unpopular to liberals idea.

Archives don't lie.
Even in this very thread he uttered: "Depends on your definition of use deadly force, doesn't it. The cop was carrying a gun. So was the reporter. The cop used physical force, along with the threat implied by display of the gun, to commit a series of crimes against the reporter.

A reporter arrested for carrying a gun near a school, no suggestion that the cop used undue force, no suggestion that the reporter would be unfairly treated by our system of justice, yet Lee suggests shooting the cop because of the "physical force" of handcuffing the reporter?
Sick.

and yet the reporter apparently did no act of aggression towards anyone which would be sufficient to interest an impartial cop.
of course he may have been thinking unapproved thoughts.

You can bet your last penny, that if Greg had been walking down a sidewalk, legally going about his business, and he had been manhandled, cuffed and arrested for something that isn't a crime, he'd be crying foul all over the place. Since it happened to someone else, however, it's OK. Yeah, right.

The cop thought it was. Obviously cops aren't experts on all the laws on "the books". You're a supreme example of that.

In Greg's world, being forcably [sic] arrested (unless you mean he's trying to stab me with a fork) certainly is no grounds for shooting a cop even if the cop was in error. Heck, I thought the cop was mistaken all four times that I've been arrested, but I never shot any of them. Maybe I need to get me a gun.

Hey, nitespark and any other real cops out there, ever arrested someone who really didn't do it? Lee says they were within their rights to shoot you. You're lucky you're still alive.
Fortunately Lee is just an idiot and his words bear no relation to reality.

Of course if I had had my piece, I would have shot the abusive bastard just like Lee told me to.

Had plenty of them found "not guilty", but that only means I couldn't prove the crime in court.
However, I read the original post by Lee on this and based soley on the news account I had some serious questions regarding the officer's actions. I kept in mind that what I was reading could not be viewed as an unbiased source of information.
The reporter was on the street side of the fence and hence on public property. You can't get much more defined in property curtilage than a fence. I am also unfamiliar with Fla. law. Virginia has a law about carrying firearms on school property and another law about illegal drugs within 1000 ft of school property.
However, there is caselaw that supports the right to resist an unlawful arrest up to an including deadly force. Plummer vs State, 136 Ind 306 and John Bad Elk vs US, 177 US 529. I have not read those opinions and I am certain the SCOTUS very narrowly defined those conditions in which any force to resist arrest can be used.

If you couldn't prove the crime in court, there's insufficient evidence that they committed the crime. Hence, you arrested them based on insufficient evidence, just like the Florida cop arrested the reporter on insufficient evidence that a true trespass occurred. Sorry, Andy, but it's the same exact situation.
What if you arrested someone for DUI based on a FST, even though the driver protested that he only had one beer. The Breathalyzer confirms this, but only after the arrest. Technically, being below .05, there was no legal basis for the arrest. Should you have been shot and killed?

John Bad Elk is a case dating from 1899, concerning Indian territory and Indian policemen.
From that case: "We do not find any statute of the United States or of the state of South Dakota giving any right to these men to arrest an individual without a warrant, on a charge of misdemeanor not committed in their presence."
However, in this case, the reporter was duly charged with an alleged misdemeanor committed in the officer's presence. There is no requirement that a magistrate issue a warrant for arrest in such a case. The procedure of the arrest was lawful even if the circumstances were such that the basis of the arrest was incorrect, exactly like the DUI situation I mention above.
It's a pretty slippery slope suggesting that anyone has the right to kill a cop because of a false misdemeanor arrest.

Doesn't mean they didn't actually commit the crime only at the time of trial I could not prove it. Big difference. I can say with absolute certainty I have never fabricated a criminal charge against someone who never committed it.

Technically, being below .05, there > was no legal basis for the arrest. Should you have been shot and > killed? If I arrested someone based on the FST that is a justifiable arrest based on probable cause. Less than "Reasonable Doubt" but more than "Mere Suspicion". Lots of things can happen in not only a DUI case but other criminal cases as well. Witnesses can move. Evidence can be thrown out on a motion to supress. Laws can change between time of arrest and trial. In your DUI example, should I arrest someone for DUI and the breath test showed less than .05%, I would suspect drugs. In the absence of drugs, I would then suspect some other medical anomaly and request a medical review by a licensed physician be ordered by DMV.

This may vary from state to state. In Virginia a police officer cannot make a warrantless arrest on a misdemeanor that was not committed in his presence with certain exceptions noted.
As mentioned in messages subsequent to the original, there will be no criminal prosecution of the reporter. I suspect the civil actions will be flying left and right but thats a different story.
> It's a pretty slippery slope suggesting that anyone has the right to > kill a cop because of a false misdemeanor arrest. Now THAT I agree with you on 100%. Notwithstanding SCOTUS decisions, I think someone would be very ill advised to resist arrest on any level be it by physical resistance or deadly force simply because they THINK they are innocent.

Some prosecutor (lawyer) knowingly, wrongfully, convicted many of these people just to get another rock in their box.

The rest of us will review, while you crawl.
You said this:
"Even on my planet you were caught in a contradiction."
I said this (substantively):
"No, I wasn't. I was right then. I'm right now. I'm right, with evidence, whenever I slap you down. It's easy, and just takes a second. I'll spell it out for you.

And then, with the choice of providing a cite, or -slithering-, because you're my leashed little leg humping, ankle biting -bitch-, you did -exactly- as you were -told-.
Blustered, and crawled.

Now let's add context. The reporter was only arrested for a misdemeanor.
"It is quite possible that he would have been within his rights to defend himself with deadly force."
That sure sounds like Lee is saying it would have been within the reporter's rights to defend himself with deadly force from a false misdemeanor arrest.
How else do you interpret it?
Sure, he adds the words "quite possible" but that's just typical governnmental waffling. The fact that he suggested it it quite possible that the reporter would have been within his rights to defend himself from a misdemeanor arrest by using deadly force is sick. Sick. Sick. Sick.
And yes, you are wrong.

Lee Bell - 19 Nov 2007 14:14 GMT Not surprisingly, I found another crazy that thinks that there are times when using deadly force against authorities is appropriate. I'm sure Greg thinks he's a sociopath too.

There's a slight difference between the American Revolution, rebels rising up against British monarchs, versus defending oneself against a misdeameanor arrest by a legitimate sworn peace officer. That you can't perceive the difference shows exactly how warped your mind is. Downright psychotic.

You're just afraid that if people finally realize that they can stand up to an illegal arrest the next step would be to eliminate the lawyers that got us into this mess that we're in with too many bullshit laws... As a lawyer, you have a somewhat vested interest in that not happening...

THe revolutionaries would have been hanged, had things gone the other way. They were traitors to the crown. The fact that they won makes them right, in the eyes of history.

We frequently compare your type to other past leaders- Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Stalin.
