Arrested for Filming Police – Charged with Disorderly Conduct

Awesome!

This film documents the following criminal acts:

Federal :
18 USC 241 Conspiracy Against Rights (felony)
18 USC 242 Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law (misdemeanor)

State (MS code):
Title 97 Ch1 sec1 Conspiracy (felony)
§97-3-53 Kidnapping (felony) [because absent any crime, they did not have ‘lawful’ authority]
§97-3-117(2) Armed Carjacking (felony)
§ 97-17-42 Taking possession of or taking away a motor vehicle (felony)
§97-9-59 Perjury (felony)
§97-35-47 False Reporting of Crime (misdemeanor)

Of course these also open the door to Title 97, Ch 44 MISSISSIPPI STREETGANG ACT wherein a ‘streetgang’ is defined at :

§ 97-44-3. Definitions(a) “Streetgang” or “gang” or “organized gang” or “criminal streetgang” means any combination, confederation, alliance, network, conspiracy, understanding, or other similar conjoining, in law or in fact, of three (3) or more persons with an established hierarchy that, through its membership or through the agency of any member, engages in felonious criminal activity.

Good luck getting either the state or the feds to pursue them criminally though.

Adam, email me info about the video file format. I can probably help convert it.

@phssthpok I agree about the law violations. I’m familiar with the U.S. Code citations, but I don’t know Miss. statutes firsthand. They probably broke even more laws. I also agree that it’s highly doubtful that the D.A., Atty General, U.S. Attorney or their assistant attorneys would dare or want to prosecute Jones County or its deputy sheriffs, which amounts to more crime by them.

@Adam Mueller I think the word should be converse rather than conversate. I’m glad you were able to recover your camera or SD card and video files. You’ve got some great exculpatory evidence. Should be an open and shut case. You still got lawyer(s)? In the trial, the authors of the documents, e-mail, etc. and operator of the camcorder/camera phone/video camera will have to autheticate the evidence by giving foundational testimony before they can be entered into evidence, witnesses examined and cross-examined about these. Remember the burden of proving the crime is supposed to be on the D.A./prosecutor.

@Kinley & phssthpok

You guys forgot destruction of evidence.

Hi, Adam. The spelling appears to be “Grimes,” and Google is your friend. ☺ Found in 10 seconds, e.g., http://www.helpfindthemissing.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10757 – “Captain James ‘Catfish’ Grimes.”

Thanks for continued good work! It’s inspiring.

I’m from Laurel and know exactly what you’re dealing with, It’s a corrupt town and always will be. Best of luck in your search for justice.

This video is so much BS – You guys need to get a life and go on about your business. PS: A narrative video is not “evidence”.

Paulbo you can’t be that dumb. This video isn’t evidence, but the one he recovered and is talking about IS. Also they were going about their “business”, since their business is defending liberty.

You need 1: better hidden camera and mic setup,
2: separate remote recording so loss of camera does not mean loss of video/audio.

This video looks horrible and the sound is crap. Your local TV news has better, so should you.

@Tom Jones

I think the problem with better quality equipment is grabby handed thugs in uniform breaking or confiscating it. I’m not sure, but some states may have some kind of wiretapping laws for hidden cameras. If state law does NOT forbid it, hiding the camera is a very good idea. Being able to wirelessly upload video either simultaneously while filming or at least immediately when the camera is shut off seems almost essential since cops refuse to recognize the right to film and as in this case will attempt to delete what is on the camera after they confiscate it.

Tom Jones is a troll. so is YouLie. they are most likely one and the same. and they also apparently have the mental capacity of a gold fish.

These guys are heroes, putting their safety on the line for our freedom, shooting video when most would wilt from the fear. The troops fighting overseas are a distraction from the true battle for liberty, which is happening right here in the USA.

Since obviously no one in authority is going to bring criminal charges for this, do you guys have any decent options for a civil lawsuit?

I really think you guys need to call the FBI and have all involved charged with color of law violations. Destruction of evidence unlawful arrest unlawful prosecution. the list goes on and on. I think you guys need to get a Lawyer and really hold these people accountable. I think you need to contact the political opponent of Alex Hodge and start making posters of him pissing on the constitution.

so how did it end?

I’ve dealt with that blonde bitch before. What a twat? You admitted that important evidence to the actions of both parties was tampered with by a member of the sheriff’s department to deny the public view of an event which happened in public for anyone to see. You admit to their guilt of destroying evidence of a crime, an act which is a serious crime itself, by a member of the authorities. If she didn’t want the unlawful actions of “her boys” to be seen by the public, her boys should not have been in public and committing unlawful acts. They defiled the law, they defiled human rights, and they’re too childish to take their spanking for being bad. I hope this was the best excuse for whatever point you failed to make. It doesn’t matter who in the department attempted to destroy the evidence, it was someone’s responsibility to preserve it under the law, that person allowed another person to tamper with evidence that was his responsibility. You’re childish logic for childish law enforcement just earns those children a double spanking. Thanks for helping us free you from tyranny :)

I never understood why trials are not recorded on video, that’d seem pretty crucial evidence for a courts “lawful” conviction.

Sorry, that was for someone else. The mobile site is confusing.

They’re still making people disappear. This gang would’ve dragged these guys off and shot them had they been locals. You’re right, there has been progress, from race hate to social hate.
