A Lake County mother was arrested at a children’s splash park after her white shirt got wet...She took her 7-year-old son to cool off, but before the day was done she found herself behind bars, facing an arrest record for obstruction of justice and resisting arrest without violence....The police report indicates Lovett didn't give her name fast enough. [More]Then it sounds like she got just what she deserved, doesn't it?
Besides:
The police chief told WFTV his officers operated within policy that day.Of course they did.
'Within policy that day'; so policy changes day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, just like airline prices?
ReplyDeleteHey chiefie, does 'policy' trump 'law' you damned slimebag.
Nice slide in of the liberal agenda, “Either the police were so lacking in training and so incompetent to the law or trying to ID someone who was a potential illegal alien,” Marks said.
ReplyDeleteLovett is a U.S. citizen.
Rather than blame the officer for this outrage, the shylock slips in the race card.
She got screwed, but after that statement I hope she loses. Just facts, Sir. Save the identity politics for somewhere else.
Well, I guess it would be a good idea for me to avoid Lake County, Florida also. I don't talk like an East coast Yankee either. And, on top of that, I probably don't talk fast enough for them either.
ReplyDeleteWonder where the logic was as to throwing the lady out of the WATER park anyway?
Policy probably states that if a citizen goes to a WATER park and gets WET she will be subject to expulsion and arrest especially if she doesn't talk fast enough.

"her padded bra was showing."
ReplyDeleteProbably less revealing than a bikini top.
She was "slow to give her name" on this THIRD similar incident. I quite understand not cooperating with continuing mindless harassment.
$1,500 fine.
THERE you go.
I wager a police chief's daughter, say, would never suffer such humiliation.
Lack of empathy is a terrible thing. In a law enforcement official, it is inexcusable.
I know it's hard for residents of a locality to speak up, when these are the same guys driving behind you on the roads every day, who want to give you a traffic ticket, search your house and "find" some really good sh-- to charge you with, and so on. But that's what it takes. Lake County residents need to go to the top of the county administration, or to the state attorney general, and use the U word. Unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's the word I used about the layoff practices of my former employer. I was next. I would do it the same way again. Right is right even if nobody does it, and wrong is wrong even if everybody does it.
Understand that Tavares is a tiny city in the middle of nowhere. The "splash park" in question has a maximum capacity of 59 people. I have ready on other stories that this was the 3rd time she had been a problem there. In a town that small, for her to have 3 issues where she has caused a problem makes her a well known troublemaker.
ReplyDeleteWell, Chris, maybe you could explain to us who she victimized via force or fraud.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's wrong with being a "well known troublemaker"?
So, if she was a "well known troublemaker," I guess the claim that she failed to give her name fast enough was just a pretext.
ReplyDeleteIf the lady is a "well known" troublemaker, the LEOs should have already known her name regardless of whether she talks "funny" and slowly.
ReplyDeleteHow can policy allow the police to hang "failure to identify" on somebody they already know?
The news story indicates that the lady's 7 year old son is autistic. My guess is that she acquired the label of "well known trouble maker" by insisting the school system abide by state laws regulating treatment of disabled children. Of course, I could be wrong.

Within policy that day? Well, of course! Have you ever heard, ever, that a police officer didn't act within "policy?" I can appreciate that Chiefs of Police protect their crew; but, there are boundaries, and limits everywhere, even for cops. When will we get a Police Chief to reprimand one of his own, publicly, so that "we the people" can see for ourselves that nobody is above the law, especially the cops?
ReplyDeleteThis is just another case of parasites gone wild.
