dave ridley harassed for open carry

[shyfrog]

I'm curious...have there been any incidents like this in Keene?

Listening to that made me sick! It seems to me that is a completely illegal stop and detainment. Here are some links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_v._Ohio

I'll be there soon (hopefully soon enough) and walk right with you Dave!

I doubt it.  The cops are allowed to stop you at anytime.  The cops are allowed to hold you for hours and hours.  It seems legal.

This is what some cops do.

Yes. Dave told me today that he had been harassed while open carrying in Keene.

A different Dave...when his own brother called the cops on his as a prank.

anyone got a toy gun for me?

I went through the 15 minutes and amplified the audio when Russel and the cop talk so that it can be heard. Some of it is still not clear enough to be heard though. Feel free to put this link earlier in the thread with the original audio link.

Come on Russell...a gun is only as bad or as good as the person holding it.
It's a lot like the Government, where the person who does not wish to hold the gun probably should be the one holding the gun.

Dada, that was fantastic. You were calm, collected, logical, informative, and firm. I'm hopeful that on that day the police learned something about what freedom is.

So many of the things I'd heard the policeman say upset me, specifically the "not allowed to gather" - enumerated freedom of assembly, anyone? - the excuse of the presumed "freedom from fear" (which isn't even applicable in this case), etc.; I'm very happy to be able to hear it "first-hand", as it were.

Without getting into details (and mods, please delete/edit if this wasn't already addressed), how did you justify "recording" the conversation to porc411? I don't need to be convinced - NH is dead wrong on the issue, but the issue may cause problems for those involved.

As for myself, since Nevada *seems* to allow subjects to record oral conversations with the consent of only one party, I need to find a small, durable, and hopefully inexpensive audio recorder to use if/when I have any interaction with the gov't. Any suggestions right off the top of some folks' heads?

Glad I could contribute something

You can plug the recorder directly into your computer.

PM me if you're interested.  I can get products from this company for pretty cheap.
