lots of police called on me

[Lonnie]

I'm thinking those officers who where talking trash had ideas of getting your into a confirtation and esculating things further.
That is a load of crap , better take others advice and contact NRA and others for legal advice and follow through

 

[Markedup]

Bump.

 

[CSK22]

Yeah, any updates?

 

[Cowboy1629]

If no one has said it yet, make sure to use the "Freedom of Information Act" and get a copy of the audio/video from the incident in question. Once that is done and you have listened/watched the replay, proceed accordingly. With your lawyer, if you can find fault in their "process", you'll have a case. You should also secure a copy of the departments GO's. That will determine if they sufficiently followed process. Good luck.

FW has a history of classifying the dash cam footage as "investigatory" and don't have to release it as it is a legal exemption.

Several stories in the news about cam footage being denied.

most lawyers hate to fight city hall. It's a shame, but since you only got humiliated and not carted off to jail or beaten, you probably never will get anywhere sueing them.
If you were a black, pregnant, lesbian with aids you could own the city over this through a discrimination suit.
Sometimes it's hard being a regular guy that earns his way through life...
Goodluck.

They walked all over your rights. You have a possible federal suit against the cops. They had no probable cause to detain you, intimidate you ad threaten you with lethal force. I'm surprised you're not in therapy. You have a possible suit against Speedway for false arrest and defamation. Do not ask the cops for advice - ever. They band together, dispense disinformation, and talking to them will do nothing good for you.

If the cops take action against your permit, 1) you'll win and 2) you have grounds for yet another suit against them. The cops really screwed up here and need to be thrown off the department.

..You have a possible federal suit against the cops...You have a possible suit against Speedway for false arrest and defamation...The cops really screwed up here and need to be thrown off the department.

I couldn't disagree more.

(1) The OP may have a Federal suit? Of course he may. This is America. Anybody can sue anybody, and often does. The question is how much money does the OP have in his bank account and how much of it does he want to gamble that a finding will go in his favor? I got a little money in the bank. It's not nearly enough to fund a Federal suit. I wouldn't gamble it on this one being a winner. I might prefer to feed my family, buy a new truck, or send my kids to college.

(2) Speedway doesn't arrest people. It sells gasoline, candy bars, cigarettes, and occasionally calls the police. Good luck with suing a gas station for false arrest. Police arrest people, not gas stations.

(3) I wouldn't bank on that defamation thing. You have to prove harm. Someone saying crappy things about you or even telling lies isn't defamation. Has people's altered perception about the OP's character had adverse affects on his life? He can't get a date anymore? His boss turned him down for a promotion? Small children cross the street when they see him coming up the sidewalk? Babies cry at the mere sight of him? His landlord evicted him for being an unstable safety risk?

Some of the off-handed advice given in this thread needs to be carefully evaluated by the OP. I've never seen so many people ready to spend someone else's money.

+1 to you sir! that's funny!

 

[Glocker]

Not trying to be a jerk but thats one of the reasons why I don't open carry. Yes I enjoy the freedom to own and carry a pistol on me for protection but there is a limit to it. Times have change and peacocking a pistol around for others to see isn't smart.

Keep it concealed and have peace of mind.

Unless the bank is also a Federal Reserve, Joe. Just sayin'.

The 'Federal Reserve' is a private central bank that is not government in any sense of the word. (no more than Federal Express or Federal ammunition).
There is no government oversight to the Federal Reserve (even with the 'appointment' of the chair of federal reserve by acting Commando-in-chief)

That's funny right there. I don't care who you are.

Okay, you got me there. Can I amend my post to read "Posters in this thread are so willing to spend other people's money they should run for Congress?"

The Federal Reserve is an agency of the government, created by congress. It is owned by the member banks. Don't carry a gun into any of the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks or their branches.
