Arrested by power tripping cop
not a single officer asked me if i could show them the video footage which i could have if they asked but i had to ask my boss how to burn it to disc.It was first thing in the mourning and i had only been at work 20 minutes.I was not actually charged with anything just cuffed and held there until my boss showed up.and as far as im aware they have to charge people once they cuff.guess we will find out
this is the complaint i filed with OPCC:
I was at my place of employment in the back office when I noticed two officers (one blonde female roughly 5'10 and one peppered male 5.10)on camera at the counter in the front. the female had a pad of paper out and was switching from writing things down to operateing her radio.i was curious as to why it appeared she was questioning my co-worker so i left the office and went to the front of the store.when i got there both officers where just standing around and one greeted me with a nod. 3-5 mins later the female cop started asking me random questions without first explaining who and why she was there.i cant remember the the first question she asked me but the second question was "when is your employer going to be in" or something to that effect and i replied that "my employer dosent have a set time that he comes in" or something to that effect. the next question she asked was for the phone number of my employer to which i replied that "i cannot give out anyones phone number but i can call them for you"the male officer interjected in rather in a hostile tone insisting that i give them the phone number to which i replied that "I would call my employer" he then threatened to arrest me with Obstruction or something like that.and that is when i refused to co-operate any further and he hand cuffed me giving me a short version of Miranda rights.
at this point there were 3 officers .I'm not sure when the third officer(female brunette 5'5 ) arrived but i answered all her questions and filled out a statement for her when she eventually removed my hand cuffs ......
