Gangsters in Blue

Patrol Officer Peter Cloutier of Augusta, Maine Police Department knowingly, willfully, and intentionally violated my civil and common law rights as guaranteed by the 4th and 14th Amendments, as well as criminally trespassing on my private home through the use of intimidation, force, coercion and threat of kidnapping and bodily injury.

After Officer Cloutier and his partner left my property (and with their tails stuck prominently between their legs), I sent the following email to Officer Cloutier’s Chief of Police, Robert Gregoire, who then forwarded it to Deputy Chief Jared Mills for an Internal Affairs investigation which was commenced January 19, 2012, verbatim:

Dear Chief Gregoire, and all other interested persons reading this lawful notice:

Attached you will find a raw, unedited, genuine electronic audio recording of your agent, Peter Cloutier’s, unlawful interactions with myself last night under the guise of him responding to a service call placed by my neighbor, Jack Hagop Alahverdian, the basis of which and the outcome of said conversation is very clearly explained on the .mp3 recording attached to this message.

I am sending this email communication to notify you, Chief Robert Gregoire, that your agent, Peter Cloutier, did blatantly violate my civil rights last night at 7:37pm, January 18, 2011, and did trespass on my private property and threateningly forced his way into my private dwelling without permission or license to enter.

Peter CLoutier did, without license or my permission, put his hand on my entrance screen door and opened the door and held it wide open, under the pretense of needing to ‘see me’, although his partner did not articulate having any difficulty ‘seeing me’ through the screen in my door, despite my private porch and my private internal entry being adequately lighted.

Upon Peter Cloutier unlawfully opening the door to and trespassing upon my private dwelling, he then proceeded to try to intimidate me through the use of force, coercion and threat of kidnapping to try to coerce me into allowing him into my private home, clearly under duress and coercion and threat of violence and bodily harm.

I did not at any time give Peter Cloutier permission to physically enter my dwelling at any time.

Peter Cloutier physically entered my private dwelling without license or permission to enter for the purpose of unlawfully violating my civil rights as enumerated and guaranteed by the 4th and 14th Amendments, which I am sure you are well aware do clearly describe the prohibition against unlawful search and seizure, my civil rights to receive EQUAL PROTECTION under the COMMON and STATUTORY LAWS, and my civil unalienable and inalienable right to be free from illegal deprivation of life, liberty or property within the boundaries of my personal physical body and private home.

Peter CLoutier did threaten to kidnap me if I did not allow him to unlawfully enter and search my private home.

I did not at any time give Peter Cloutier permission to enter my home, touch my physical body which he did in fact do with his upper chest with the intention of intimidating me into surrendering to his unlawful violation of my civil rights as enumerated by the 4th amendment of our Bill of Rights.

Peter Cloutier clearly and emphatically denied that he is subject to the lawful prohibitions against illegal search and seizure and he did in fact violate my civil rights to receive equal protection under the common laws as evidenced by him specifically and clearly verbally denying that HE DOES NOT NEED my permission to enter my private dwelling, obviously and blatantly in contradiction to the restrictions enumerated by the 4th and 14th Amendments and being confirmed by HIS immediate physical withdrawal from my property and his failure to return with a search warrant, as he blatantly threatened while he and his partner left my property.

You will be able to experience for yourself the interactions between me and your agents through your immediate review of the attached .mp3 audio file taken at 7:37pm on January 18, 2011 while I stood at all times on the internal side of the threshold to my dwelling place.

Peter Cloutier physically crossed the threshold to my private dwelling by the unlawful use of force, intimidation and threat of kidnapping and bodily harm, in direct violation of my civil rights under the 4th and 14th Amendments to the Bill of Rights.

My private exterior dwelling porch, exterior stairs and front entry door are now posted with “PRIVATE PROPERTY – NO TRESPASSING” signs, which were specifically placed after your agents removed themselves from my private porch. All of your officers and agents are now subject to a $5,000.00 penalty for EACH PERSON and for EACH OCCURRENCE of any and all forms of trespassing upon my private property, including my private exterior stairs, porch, interior entry, and all interior spaces, also including my physical body, and my Toyota Celica which sits in my driveway.

Your agents DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION to enter or seize my private property WITHOUT A PROPER SEARCH WARRANT, PROBABLE CAUSE, AND LAWFUL DUE PROCESS.

You have been lawfully notified.

All events of physical trespass by any and all of your agents will be subject, PER PERSON, PER OCCURRENCE, to a $5,000.00 penalty, payable in $1.00 denominations of .999 silver coinage within 7 days of each violation.

Conduct yourselves accordingly.

Just Say “NO!!” 4th & 14th Amendments is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

So when it came time for court and my wife was called up to defend herself she immediately objected to the fact that there was no prosecutor present just a police officer and Judge. Her objection was that it was a direct violation of her 14th amendment right to due process of the law. More specifically procedural due process. The judge was acting as prosecutor and Judge making it impossible for the Woman in the robe to be an unbiased third party. Is this judge really going to make a ruling against her own arguments. HELL NO, objection overruled.

Next officer jackboot made his case and my wife proceeded to question him on all the errors than can occur with the radar device during operation. With a moving radar there is a lot that can go wrong. The officer stated that he was aware of what the error’s were but did not do anything to make sure these errors were not occurring while using the device. It is impossible to know whether or not the errors have occurred that is why this device is so unreliable. Radar beams while being used in a moving vehicle can bounce off of just about anything and return to give a false reading.

While looking up the laws and finding out that in order to keep local governments from creating unjust speed traps a city county or state must abide by the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). 23 CFR 655.603 adopts the MUTCD as the national standard for all traffic control devices installed on any street, highway, bikeway, or private road open to public travel. This means that all states, cities and townships must abide by this manual before any law enforcement thug can enforce speed laws on any federally funded streets or highways.

A speed survey must be conducted by a licensed engineer on all roads so as to set a safe speed. If speed survey is not conducted the state must prove by engineering survey conducted by a licensed engineer why their way is better. Not very many cities or townships will do this because it is very expensive to have these high priced engineer conduct these surveys. My wife submitted a subpoena for a speed survey or engineering survey for the road she was supposedly speeding on. She got a letter from the city engineering department stating no surveys were done.

http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/pdfs/2009/mutcd2009edition.pdf

She once again proved in court that the city of Williamsburg was in violation of the United States code of federal regualations and requested a dismissal. The judge stated that the state of virginia has its own manual and is what the city follows. The last I knew Federal law supercedes state laws.
My wife was found guilty. She appealed and during her appeal every time she brought up federal law the new judge keep telling her where she can find the federal court.

In conclusion we have to follow rules that govern us but the city of Williamsburg and the district court doesn’t have to follow the rules that govern them? BULLSHIT

The text below was sent to us via our submission tab from Grace, who thinks:

Police officers are brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, and children. Showing up to traffic stops with signs saying they are harrassing us is just rediculous. I’ve gotten a couple tickets in my life, yea it sucks but its the law. Go do something to help the homeless, donate your time to a womens shelter, help kids who have nothing, or go work at an animal shelter. Saying the police are harrassing citizens, come on. The streets are already dangerous enough without you trying to interfere with them doing their jobs. Do something to better your community which is not standing around with signs protesting the people actually out there trying to protect us.

-Grace

Grace, let me ask you this. What would you do if I forced your car to the side of the road, demanded your identification, yelled at you for your speed or broken tail light and demanded money from you for the encounter? What if I get eight of my friends to raid your home and search it for whatever we consider to be illegal? What if I also used some more of my friends to force you to pay for my actions? What if I did these things to you? Would you then hold a sign in displeasure outside my office? Or film me while me and my friends did the same to others? What would you do?

What if, by targeting the police, who seem to do any act their told to because ‘it’s their job’, we’re actually making the homeless, batter women and kids who have nothing at all lives better? After all, the homeless are routinely harassed by the police, at times even murdered. Spouses of police officers have a higher rate of domestic abuse than most professions, maybe because of all the guilt/pressure that comes with their jobs. Or by questioning police about victimless crimes and the failed war on drugs, we’re really helping the kids who have nothing. Since their parents where carted off by Drug Task Force and SWAT members – again on your dime -, leaving them with nothing.

I hope to target, highlight and protest policing until the money – and we’re talking BILLIONS  of dollars – that is spent on the police state is allocated to starter programs for the homeless, abused people to leave their abusers and kids who’s parents are addicts. Of course, you’d get to decide what to spend your money on and no one would be able to force you, via taxation, to pay for anything you didn’t want. But what do I know, I’m the disrespectful one who’s harassing people by holding a sign and pointing out the double standard of police today.

Be Respectful… is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

If you’ve been following Copblock closely, you know that Ademo has (ridiculously) been charged with felony wiretapping, while merely seeking to place pressure upon police for their lack of accountability. For more details, please read more here. He will require substantial funds for a defense, particularly if he chooses to seek counsel (which I have urged him to do).

I am selling Copblock T-shirts in women’s cuts for Ademo’s defense. $9 from each shirt will go to Ademo’s defense fund.

I see a lot of negativity and disdain directed at Ademo and Pete recently. These attitudes are egregious and misplaced. The military does not fight for your freedom. The police do not put their lives on the line for their freedom. The police and the military often create the very problems they claim to protect people from. The police and the military do what they do for a paycheck, like everyone else, and above all, they do what they do to protect the government, and the powers that be.

The only threat to your freedom is the government, and the only people fighting for your freedom are those who are speaking out, fighting back, and selflessly placing their own freedoms on the line to change the system. These are the people who have a vision, while the police and military are merely following the orders of powerful people who grow ever the more rich, and ever the more powerful off the status quo. Cohen went to jail so that you can wear a jacket that says “FUCK THE DRAFT” in a court house. Chaplinsky went to jail so that you can call organized religion a racket, and call the police “goddamn racketeers” and “damned fascists.” Johnson was charged with vandalism so that you can express your outrage at the American government by committing the utmost act of fury and disrespect – burning the American flag. O’Brien lost the battle, but he suffered severe legal consequences with the hopes that Americans could burn their draft cards in protest of the American government’s war-mongering, and in protest of the slavery entailed by the Vietnam War draft.

Ademo and Pete are not bums, slackers, or losers as you charge. They are the Cohens, Chaplinskys, Johnsons, and O’Briens of today who are literally fighting for your freedom. I believe that one day when, not if the American Police State has finally forcibly raped you of your final vestige of dignity and freedom, that you who berate them with such careless  flippancy will feel great shame. Quite honestly, when that day comes, if you are rotting in prison, or dead from police brutality, I won’t feel a great deal of sympathy for you.

As for the rest of you saner, more rational people, please check the shirts out. Ladies, they are a great cut, great fit, and very comfortable. I have a green one and purple one for myself and wear them all the time. Guys, I’m sure there’s an awesome girl or two in your life who would love one of these. They are $18, which includes shipping.

They fit nicely, and promote police accountability. I have mediums and larges left of every color, but no smalls (sorry).  I take Paypal. Please contact me if you want one – George.sand[at]copblock[dot]org.

There is no (direct) total war but rather the never ending ‘wars’ on crime, terrorism, illegal immigrants and anti-social behaviour. There is no formal abolition of civil rights, just their hollowing out. In short, there is a need for a new politics of law and order. The old problematic of how to perfect and refine the liberal democratic, civilized approach to law and order has now ended. The new politics of our era must focus instead upon how we extricate ourselves from the security state we are in.

So conclude Simon Hallsworth and John Lea in their paper, Reconstructing Leviathan: Emerging contours of the security state that focuses on the emergence of the security state in the UK, which as they readily note, is part of a larger trend happening around the globe.

In no uncertain terms Hallsworth and Lea outline where most in their field fall short: “theoretical criminologists appeared to have forgotten about the State.”

What exactly, is the “state”? According to the pair:

what appears as a backgrounding of the State is in fact the creation of a ‘state in the mind’ in which the State is allowed seemingly infinite new powers. A securitization of the life world manifested in a set of attitudes welcomes and accepts the actions of the State as a necessary exchange between liberty and security even though the terms of trade are unknown as is whether any diminution in liberty furnishes any real increase in security

The “state” is just an idea. One peddled by a group of individuals who benefit when others believe it true.

This (bad) idea, when accepted, means some stranger can “legally” use force against you to restrict or deny you choices that harm no one else. And that these same people can “legally” take your property.

If you walked across the street and I approached and, after scolding you demanded 30FRNs “for your safety” would you pay it? Probably not. So why have a different view when the same action is done by someone in different attire?

How can actions “illegitimate” for me or you suddenly become “legitimate” when done by someone simply because they wear an ounce of tin on their chest? It shouldn’t. But it does, because this bad idea of “the state” (which one economist called “the great fiction“), has been accepted by many as truth.

But that’s changing, as evident by the fact that outlets such as Cop Block exist. Bad ideas are being replaced by better ideas.

Hallsworth and Lea outline the transition from the post-WWII social welfare democracy world, which sought to rehabilitate individuals “society” deemed “outcasts,” to the post-9/11 security state world, which addresses “problems” through the lens of “security.” They point to “a raft of legislation [that] has reoriented criminal justice away from due process and the rights of the suspect.”

In the UK, this bevy of arbitrary man-made text some individuals cite as justification for their aggressive actions include The Terrorism Act 2006, The Control Orders under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005, The UK Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, The Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, and The Terrorism Act of 2000.

For many people, this legalese:

enables the courts to order seizure of assets irrespective of criminal conviction in the courts. If the accused can be shown to have a ‘criminal lifestyle’, defined as having committed similar offences over a preceding period, then, on the civil standard of ‘balance of probabilities’, the court is entitled to assume their assets are the proceeds of crime unless the accused can demonstrate otherwise . . .

State activities legitimized by ‘wartime’ conditions include massive intrusive surveillance—of everything from financial transactions, interpersonal communications, presence in significant locations, personal identity details. They have created a whole new population of suspect communities—potential enemy aliens.

As the authors question, would Jean Carles de Menezes be dead today were it not for such guilty-until-proven-innocent policies?

Despite being on-point for the bulk of their paper Hallsworth and Lea did miss on at least one lesser point. After making a convincing case about the harms caused and exacerbated by the move toward securitization, the authors seemed somewhat accepting of the idea that a group of people who suffer from the same perverse incentives could effectively supply education or job training (as an alternative to resources being directed to growing the security state).

Most of us realize things aren’t right. So what’s the best way to hold aggressors accountable?

It is not a piece of legislation (text on paper) that hurts you, but that person who wears a badge. They are the enforcers. The teeth of the “state.” The longer each of us buys into the bad idea that individuals should not be held accountable for their actions when they mutter “I’m just doing my job” or claim “sovereign immunity,” the more likely it is to occur.

Hallsworth and Lea noted the “need for a new politics of law and order” – I encourage you to think open-minded about this. Surely we all want to live in a safe and prosperous society, the question is how do we best get there?

Reconstructing Leviathan: Academics Outline Harm of Growing Security State is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

Recently I was found guilty in my Chalking 8 trial, while highlighting those bogus charges we (Pete and I) met Frank and Mike, who took this video of Manchester Police Officer Murphy. The video went viral and received attention from several news outlets. Instead of taking a serious look at the actions caught on tape the city went into defense mode.

The Police, school and local government officials sought to criminalize Frank, Mike and myself. They expelled Frank from school, charged Mike as an adult (over a teenage fight) and charged me with three counts of wiretapping. Crimes the state says justifies caging me, at your expense, for 21 years.

I’ve been through this before in Greenfield, MA and am confident I can present my case, logically. The problem I face in Manchester that I didn’t have in Greenfield is the personal vendetta those in Manchester seem to have for me. After all, I was given the max sentence (with 10 months of it stayed for 2 years good behavior) for ‘resisting’ my arrest.

With that in mind I’ve thought long and hard about how I’d like to tackle this case. I’ve done all the homework, reading up on New Hampshire’s wiretapping law, talking with lawyers, brainstorming ideas with fellow activist and more and it’s come down to one thing, funding. Which is why I made this video asking for your help.

As stated in the video, I think a lawyer would be beneficial to ensure I have fair pre-trial hearings and ‘proper’ (in their eyes) procedure during trial. Considering this will be an expectation of privacy trial – and that public officials have none – it will be more difficult that my Greenfield trial. Yet, a win here could do wonders for activists in the “Shire” attempting to change coercive government actions.

That being said, I also know, and appreciate, the offensive tactic as well and when done properly, is mightier than the current justice system. In terms of risk, I end up taking more with this tactic, as these actions will be done outside the court room. The best part of this strategy is that the actions the government is trying to distract you from – excessive force, deletion of evidence and criminalization of those who question government – will be front and center. As this issue goes further back than just one phone call, the Manchester police have gotten away with murder (literally) for a while now.

Regardless of how this fund raiser goes, I’ll be in court, speaking the truth and defending my position on filming, recording and monitoring public officials. I would greatly appreciate you donating to either cause as it would help me (and other activists) further the message of police accountability. You can also buy CopBlock.org swag, which help funds our CopBlock activities, or contact me for video intro/outro’s and power post. For those unable to donate, sharing CopBlock.org content and social networks is just as good as FRN’s and I need/appreciate your support as well.

Thanks in advance.

Following the March 17th, 2011 publishing of my book, “Exodus of Angels – The Murder of Harry Force” which is highly critical of local law enforcement, the District Attorney and local Judges, I became a non-person in Telluride, Colorado.

On September 23rd, 2011 I was jumped from behind, beaten and kicked unconscious in broad daylight by the local (who is well connected to the Denver Capitol ) County Democratic Chairperson. No arrests were made. I was never interviewed about the crime and nothing was done until I threatened legal action against the Town of Telluride. My attacker was then charged with a minor misdemenor bench warrant charge by the very D.A. I criticized in my book. BUT WAIT…It gets even more unbelievable.

I then had my cell phone taken by a incorrect warrant by local police telling me, “this might help you, there may be video of the assault on it”. I got my Android phone back three weeks later with all data erased. I was served a Contempt of Court Citation for violating a 2006 PRO for walking too close to my attacker (although no charges were filed against me) which resulted in the assault and am appearing in front of the very Judge I also criticized in my book. I am denied a jury trial and as the Judge barked at me in court, “I WILL DECIDE IF YOU NEED TO SERVE SIX MONTHS IN JAIL, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!

Amerika the corrupt.

Telluride, Colorado Marshal’s Retaliate for Book is a post from Cop Block - Badges Don't Grant Extra Rights

When I saw Officer Mccurry #5781 walking towards me, I instinctively pulled out my camera phone.

Then when Officer Mccurry #5781 walked past me, I began recording. After he began to walk towards the way he came, I filmed him from behind and he can be seen turning around facing me several times, while Officer Pimienta # 6201 comes from the opposite side and parked on the street facing traffic on a busy intersection, when he accosted me, grabbed my phone from me, twisted my arms behind my back and hand cuffed me. Then the illegal interrogation and detention began. Shortly Officer Jordon #5818 whom seemed to be in charge arrived, and then Officer Hobbs # 4672.

And of-course they did their AWPSP (Award winning protect and serve performance). For those that do not know what AWPSP is; please allow me to explain. AWPSP is when an Officer detains a person of color on the street, for any reason; then the performance begins. Depending on how many hours they have left on the clock; they will detain us for some times hours, just for all the community to see, to reinforce stereotypes, racism, and pretend they are actually here to protect “US” from people of color, then if you’re fortunate you’re released with certainty, that they are not here to protect and serve us. Only to be frowned upon by those that are actually being protected and served; later to be disbelieved by those that are being protected and served, because they can’t fathom the aforementioned.

As evidence by: while I was assessing them, even though both my hands were twisted, shackled, and hand cuffed behind my back; they were still afraid of my pigment, even though it was four of them, I was sitting down legs crossed, and hand cuffed; they were still scared and uneasy! So I kindly replied “Here is something to ease your mind”; I then turned to the side and pulled out my California Registered Nursing Licensed from my hip clip, and handed it to him which Identifies me as a “PEACE OFFICER”.

Then the Officer in charge Jordon #5818 replies “No that does not ease my mind!” and I’m heard replying in shock ” WOW REALLY? I am sorry to hear that”.

Now, I have been a Medical professional for over ten years (all my adult life) and have been trying to prove every stereotype incorrect and for him to tell me “No that does not ease my mind!” was an insult. Does that mean whether I am a Doctor or gangster their minds will never be at ease?

Does that mean history will have to repeat it self? Shall we have another Riot like the riots in LA?, after the Rodney King Beating? Or will justice prevail for Malik King? I am praying for the latter, may peace be upon you all; and always all praises due to the creator, the most gracious the most merciful…

I just found your website and I’m very interested in connecting with you, your events and sharing information about what is happening in Downey, CA.

Michael Nida was a close friend of my husband and I and he was murdered by Downey Police on October 22, 2011. We have been working together with Michael’s family, many more friends and loved ones, to obtain Justice for his unjust murder. Michael Nida was an innocent, unarmed, loving Husband and Father of 4 and the Downey Police murdered him with an MP5 machine gun, just as they did Gonzalo Martinez back in 2002!

Michael Nida: Authorities Admit Wrong Man Fatally Shot by Downey Cops Who Were Looking For Robbery Suspect
