wow that's great. too bad the md court of appeals have ruled over and over again that you can detain a passenger of a vehicle during a traffic stop unless that passenger is doing something illegal. and seeing how he wasnt' charged with any other violations, the inferrence is that he was not. another classic example of inexperience at the SPD. i would file a lawsuit, lawsuit, lawsuit!!!!!
ReplyDeletesorry,
ReplyDeletei meant to say that you CAN'T detain a passenger
6:36 You have to keep up with the law a little better than that! As of June 2007 an officer can do exactly that! You are a moron, moron, moron!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll great arrests until the last one. But I guess every good thing must come to an end.
ReplyDeletewell smart a** then tell me what the case was. because that is simply NOT true!!!! the passenger in a vehicle, by itself, is not the one being detained on a traffic stop, the driver is. the passenger has not done anything wrong. he can leave whenever he wants unless he is in violation of some type of law. it's called the fourth ammendment you IDIOT!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad they are finally making some arrests in that neighborhood-Jefferson St is like the Wild West theres so many thugs running around
ReplyDeletetrue. hey joe, what about the drug arrest the s.o. made on the bypass the other day. ever gonna post that story. i'm interested
ReplyDelete9:32 6:36 is right! I'll give you the case as soon as I find it. It was June of 2007.
ReplyDeletenope. not true at all. i am a very smart lawyer who knows the appeals courts' decisions well. not right at all.
ReplyDeleteA police officer, while making a routine and lawful stop of a vehicle for a traffic violation, may ask passengers in the vehicle for identification in order to complete his or her record of the traffic citation and to note the witnesses to the traffic stop. The officer also has the right to verify the identification of a passenger by running a routine record check on the passenger.
ReplyDeleteThe securing of the names of witnesses is part of the scope of a traffic stop and, if done within the duration of that stop, any evidence of a crime discovered in the process is admissible against the driver or passenger of the vehicle.

ReplyDelete6:36 PM
This is the most ignorant comment I've heard in a while from someone who I bet is a police officer, or a horrible excuse for one! The passenger RAN from the vehicle, not step out, not stand out side, but ran. BY him RUNNING from the vehicle the officer has more than enough RAS to stop, identify, and detain the passenger for suspicion of a crime. My inferrance (this is the correct spelling FYI) is that 6:36 is a lame ass police officer and a total waste of space in a patrol vehicle. This is a classic example of an idiot my friends. And at the end of his ignorance he takes a shot at SPD. WCSO are you?
I have won this type of case numerous times in motions hearings and trials. It is a good stop and a great catch. Donnie "D" (mccarter) is going to jail where he belongs. And he is not going to win a trial much less a lawsuit.
And.. there is many reasons an officer can detain, or identify a passenger on a stop. Jones vs. Kansas are just a few. I have heard some type of case that allows more leeway for and officer to do this as of june of 2007 from a States Atty. I'm not sure of the case or the circumstances, but it sounds like a big plus for police. I hope someone on here who knows of this, or the details can help out. Again this is just hearsay, I do not know specifics.
wow, jones v. kansas huh? too bad the only cases that apply to maryland are maryland cases and u.s. supreme court cases. you idiots!!!
ReplyDeleteAnon 2:18 I have done a little research and know why you are anonymous! Because if you are a lawyer, you have no clue what you are talking about....seriously you might want to consider another career! If you paid attention in court you would see that these cases are not being thrown out as often!
ReplyDeletejones was an example for 9:32 ass. Don't rememeber saying that it applied to here. Here's one Byndloss vs. Maryland. Learn to read and quit jumpimng to conclusions jerk.
ReplyDeleteIts funny how the J. Bowling case is really a lie cause they did so bs police report they stole his money i work at the hospital and he was there that night he was having chest pains and they did him really wrong his wrist were cut all open from the hand cuffs they refused to loosen them i tell you s.p.d is really a bunch of bully's we need some real cops you guys really suck......
ReplyDeleteJ Bowling is my cousin and believe me, He belongs in jail.
