dave ridley harassed for open carry

[lildog]

lol, why am I not shocked that Chaz on NHInsider sees nothing wrong with what the police did to Dave?

What's the problem? We stop people from Boarding planes, the police stop people who drive erratically.

This is just normal police procedure. No rights were violated.

Police randomly stopping people... sure no problems there.  Chaz just loves a police state.  Folks pay close attention... he is your typical Democrat.

This is a commen sense issue not a constitutional issue.

Manchester has had plenty of gun violence in recent years. Stopping Dave and checking him out is a long way from preventing him from carrying.

There is another angle with Dave. He is on record in an e-mail talking about an illegal militia. I know that may seem minor, but law authorities have an obligation to protect the public too.

This is no different than screening people who board airplanes.

I also believe Dave has been hanging out with the Browns (Dave correct me if I'm wrong). The Browns are guilty of felonies and are armed.

So there is enough for law authorities to pay attention to.

As a citizen of this state I applaud them for doing their job professionally.

Sir, can I see your permit for being black in New Hampshire.

I'm not required to carry a permit for that.

I need to see your permit.

I'm not going to give you that.

You understand, Sir, that some people in the area called and you're making them nervous that you might want to commit a crime. I'm just checking up with you to ensure that you don't mean any harm to anyone. I'm sure you understand. I'm just trying to do my job. May I ask why you're being black in NH?

I'm always black, whether I'm in NH or elsewhere.

May I see your ID? A driver's license perhaps.

I'm not required to show you ID for being black.

BTW, did I miss the link to the DIGG article? I didn't find it on the front page. Perhaps it's not there anymore.

[Russell Kanning]

yes ... that is so true ... if carrying a gun is "legal" than why do you have to check his ID

I see you are carrying a chainsaw .... may I see your ID

[KBCraig]

How were you able to record the officer? I thought that wasn't legal in NH

I am no expert, but as I understand of the law has to do with recording people without their knowledge.  Having a visible camera in a public place should not violate the law.

The key is "consent", not "knowledge".

But when you're openly videotaping someone in public, they know that you are recording their voice, so if they do not object, they've consented.

Dave explained to the trooper that he was calling Porc411. "Oh, like a webcast?" "Something like that." So he also knew he was being recorded, and did not object, thus consented.

Over 1,400 Diggs and not shwoing any sign of slowing
The Free State Blogs page has had nearly 8,000 hits in the past 24 hours -- more than the site usually gets in 2 months.


As for recording, remember -- on public property in New Hampshire:
* video recording does not require consent. You do not even have to inform the person they are being videotaped. They sure as hell have no authority to tell you to stop!
* audio taping requires consent of all parties being recorded.

When the cop tells you to turn off your camera, you are 100% within your rights to turn off the mic and say:
"Persuant to RSA-570:A, you are no longer being audio recorded. You are in a public place, however, and have no authority over the purely video aspect of the recording. Thank you."
