  1. roadblock DUI arrest

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    DUI charge was dropped at jail. Possession of firearm while intoxicated charge was dropped at jail. (Credit the deputies at jail for calling the arresting officer on his bull****. However, it's less paper trail evidence to hold him accountable for malicious prosecution.) He then added a no insurance charge, saying whoever searched my truck couldn't find proof of insurance. As the video shows, whoever searched my truck took the proof out of the owner's manual and left it on top.

    My pistol is held as evidence pending the blood test, despite the dropped charge. The A/O wanted to see if it comes back with anything else he can charge me with. How's that for due process?

    I was arraigned and formally charged with two misdemeanor crimes: obstructing an officer and not having proof of insurance.

    I have a CCW permit but took my jacket off in my warm truck after my last stop. There is no prohibition against open carry. The picture in the video is me, wearing the same clothes and holster and pistol earlier in the day. On the opposite side of the belt was a spare magazine.

    I have not seen the blood test. I tried to issue a subpoena but the court wouldn't let me. I have little to worry about regarding its contents, as I last consumed alcohol in August, but I am worried the test and/or the blood samples will mysteriously disappear. (Arresting or proceeding against an innocent person is a crime in this state.)

    BTW, I'm not young and I'm not a hippie.

    FYI, an administrative roadblock is defined by state statute NRS 484B.570.

    What are the requirements at a roadblock in this state? You must stop at the traffic control device. However, I was stopped by hand signal prior to the traffic control device (stop sign). When you are stopped you are detained and not free to go. It is a per se fourth amendment seizure. However, you have the right to remain silent. You must follow only lawful orders. Anything else is a request, invitation, or threat.

    The police detaining you have no lawful authority without a warrant, probable cause to arrest, or reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime. Once they have RAS, even for something as simple as a non-functioning license plate lamp, they have the authority to order you to roll down your window, order you out of the car, etc. or face some kind of obstruction charge.

    Back in February of 2010 I exercised my right to remain silent at a roadblock. The response was a contrived smell of alcohol on my breath, a threat of taking my truck and motorcycle, a forced PAS/PBT test, a threat of arrest for "obstruction," and an order to never return to the area. (I lived a couple blocks away.)

    To protect myself from malicious prosecution, I began travelling with recording devices. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

  4. Heard it in the lift line 10-11

    in Carving Central

    First day out of the season: taking a break on the hill in my hardboots, TD2s, with 4807, a skier skids to a stop.

    Skier: "I know what kind of snowboard that is."

    Me: "Oh yeah."

    Skier: "It's a racing board."

    Same day, same gear, lift line.

    Kids: "That board is badass!"

    Me: "Hell yeah it is. You should try one."

    Today, Prior WCR-M.

    Lift line ticket/pass checker chick: "Is that hard?"

  8. easier heel sides with freeride board

    in Carving Central

    Posted

    Saturday was my first day of the season and I rode my Rad-Air Reto Lamm LSD 164 due to some new snow. (Not enough for the powder board, too much for the carving board.)

    I had a far easier time initiating heel side carves with it than my usual ride, a Prior WCR Metal 177. TD2s, purple gaskets, and Head Stratos pros on both. 55-50 with the Prior, 40-34 this time with the Rad-Air. Both more or less centered. No cant.

    Heel sides are my er, Achilles heel and make me look like a wobbly noob carver whereas my toe sides are solid intermediate. Initiating the heel sides are particularly troublesome.

    Any idea why it was so much easier? Board length? Binding angle? Soft snow?

    bindings: Flow Pro C-FR, large, very good condition, a few dings in the carbon backs or they would be excellent, 4 hole disks, 3 hole disks, hardware, $100
