Somehow got arrested last night!

[Rboosted717]

Yeah, I have the internal affairs number. I also have a contact with the ACLU, and the Watch Dog Police Task Force. If you have a contact out here in CA (Bay area) please let know! I will post some more info as it comes. I also have a 50 page report of the "Citizens Arrest" penal code. According to this one list, "Even with such a statute, the citizen still risks being sued if he/she is wrong on his assessment of the situation. Notice that the statute requires that the "public offense" be in the citizen's presence, or that the person arrested have committed a "felony," that is, a crime punishable by one year or more in state prison. Do you know which crimes are punishable by one or more years in state prison? Can you be absolutely sure the person you are arresting is the one who committed the offense? What if there were three people involved? Can you be sure which one is the one you should arrest? At the very least, a defense lawyer is going to argue that the requirements for citizen's arrest were not met and that the arrest, and any consequent seizure of contraband, were illegal." ---Hmmm since when is street racing a crime punishable by one or more yrs in a state prison? Do I smell BS???? Can anyone here count how many crimes I have against them? LoL

Mike,

A little advice. You are not trying to prove that you were not racing. You should simply file a law suit for abuse. Get a lawyer, or go talk to one.

Keep it simple.

I'm deeply troubled by what happened to you. I encourage you to get a good attorney who can give you accurate legal advice. I hope you go to court for yourself and for the other guys that this shouldn't happen to in the future. Here's my information:

CA vehicle code is located at www.legalinfo.ca.gov per SCC (July '00 page 309).

Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. www.pplsi.com per SCC (April '00 page 286). I HAVE NOT USED THIS SERVICE NOR DO I KNOW HOW GOOD THEY ARE.

National Motorist's Association www.motorists.com per SCC (April '00 page 286). Some type of motorist activist group.

Hope these resources are helpful. If they're not then maybe they can point you in the right direction to someone else.

GOOD LUCK! (please post the results of everything that happens once the whole ordeal is settled).
