Hello,
I am a friend of the OP and I totally agree that this is 100% total bs. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that he gets out of this mess and that everyone hears about this. All this shows is how incompetent police and lawmakers are. I mean, it took 9+ cops and their supervisor to decide they want to try and destroy a persons life because they THINK (cause the obviously didnt know the laws they were enforcing and seems to me like they guessed. Their conversation probably went like this: Officer Jimbo "Does this look illegal to you Bob?" Officer Bob "Hmm well yea it kinda does, but I dunno let me call the boss" Officer Boss "Hmm....well I dunno, but my guess would be...yes" ) he owns an illegal gun? Shouldn't they be out trying to stop real criminals instead wasting taxpayer money on their gross incompetence? If you can't tell I'm alittle heated over the whole situation.
In a best case scenario the charges are dropped and any criminal record erased. CHPD completely and utterly humiliated and embarrassed. Public knowledge of this incident is wide spread.
Worst case, he is charged...oh and I swear to god I am going to do my best to raise hell if this happens. I unfortunately dont know what I would do yet but I have more then enough information at my finger tips to figure out how to get something done and by the time it goes down I will be well prepared.
I have read thru this thread in its entirety and I am very glad to see you guys are behind my friend. Any help you can provide is very greatly appreciated. I wont let my friends life get ruined because he is wrongfully charged by a bunch of dumb f**ks with badges. If you guys have any information about media outlets I could contact that would be very helpful and I thank you in advance. Sorry if I sound mad in this reply...but I am.
