Warrantless search - Rogers County

[jakeman]

That really torques my nut! What years was he a cop? 50's 60's? I would have paid to have a body camera. In fact, I used a microcassette recorder on all my stops. It was better than nothing.

Yep... I used a recorder, too. I would've gladly worn a body cam had they been available. I can't tell you the number of times I was accused of something I didn't do by sweet, innocent little Joe Citizen. Like I said in an earlier post...it ain't just the cops that lie. People will say and do nearly anything, without regard for how it might affect someone else, if they think it will get them out of trouble.

Kind of along the same lines as embellishing a story to gain sympathy and validation from others.

In retrospect, how much do you think Darrin Wilson would have given for a body cam during his infamous interaction? Or a micro cassette recorder? Or literally anything that could have recorded any part of the interaction?


For departments and agencies that can afford them, I see no benefit to not having them, only potential problems. Problem is, not all agencies can afford them.

They need to up their seizure game, lol.

Anyone remember Catoosa PD Chief J.B. Hamby? He was almost legendary for beating "arrestees" particularly if they looked like a hippie to him. This was back in the 60's & 70's. Same time frame, Tulsa Co was infamous for "elevator rides" for rambunctious folks lol! And my all time favorite lawman, Rogers County Sheriff Amos Ward. I still recall Amos watching a bunch of us drunk cowboys fist fighting in the pond at Lipe's Rodeo, he called out to us "Any of you turdheads let somebody drown in that cow piss, I'm gonna shoot the damn bunch of ya!" we all stopped and hollered back "Yes sir Mr. Ward". Now that was a great man! Laid back, slow talking, fair to everybody and just like Santa.....he KNEW if you'd been bad or were telling a fib.

The good ol' days of extrajudicial assault, due process violations, and general rights tramplin'.

Good times.

I can forgive someone for applying hickory shampoo to a hippie , had it been done on a more frequent basis we probably wouldn't has as big a mess today . All these progressives today are either hippies or the spawn of hippies .

Sure do, I went to school with his niece. I think he ran into some bad guys and one of them ended his career. (he ended theirs too)

I guess if beating someone when they're cuffed, when you have extra team members, or when the arrestee is under the influence is good, then OK. Kinda sucks when a different set of small-penis/big ego punks get in charge and they decide to target a different group.

Sympathy and validation? That's funny right there.

No, my reason for posting is just as originally stated. It's not complicated:

"Is anyone familiar with Rogers County? (We live in Washington County and are not familiar with Rogers.) I need to know who to talk to, where to file a complaint, and so on.

Thanks."

That and organizing thoughts on how to proceed. I got what I needed, thanks to those who provided relevant case references, experiences and so on.

The purely gratuitous and ad hominem are to be expected, I suppose; but those remarks reveal more about the remarkers than about the subject at hand.

Whatever you need to tell yoursef, tweetr. Why do you think I was talking about you?
