Is Cottonwood becoming a Police State???????????????????

[Chuck]

Last week I was driving around like I always do with my dogs. I'm sure a few of you have seen me. I have the full size Chevy truck with the canvas canopy top to keep the sun off my Dogs

Well anyway I always when in town cut through 2nd St by the boys & girls club. This time as I turn heading to main street I see Cottonwoods Finest with his lights on. He pulls me over on Main Street.

He tells me that someone complained about me driving down 2nd Street.

He goes on to tell me if I keep driving down the street he will arrest me. For a couple days I stop driving down town.

After a couple days I start to fume inside. Me not having broken any laws being told I'd get arrested for driving down a public street. So if I was riding around again if I wanted to drive down the street I would.

Last night (11/11/09) At about 6 or 7 PM the Cop who pulled me over and another cop show up at my door. By the way I don't live in the City limits. He tell me he has a paper or something that tells me I have to appear in front of the Judge because I was riding down 2nd St. again. I tell him I need to get my glasses to read what he has so I went in the house to get my glasses. We were talking outside my house. When I come out with the glasses he tells me him and his friend have a call they need to answer and he will be back. Course they never came back.

Today I went to the Police Station on 6th St. I talked with a sergeant. He of course does his best to defend the one who stopped me. I asked him if their was any papers he knows that were to be served on me. He said he would check. After awhile he comes back and says nothing turned up. Then he goes on to say maybe they our in the squad car of the one who showed up at my house last night.

I guess they don't keep records at the Cottonwood Police Dept.

What I wonder given the trouble they gave the woman policeman about the promotion she was going for. I believe her name was Monica or something like that. Then couple that with the swat raid if their is something more to the reason that they in my book tried to intimidate me. Not that something illegal could be going on and getting covered up. No years ago coming from near Crook County I never hard of anything like that.

For the record if I am down town and want to cut through 2nd st I will do so until a judge tells me I don't have a legal right to drive down a public road. When that day comes if it does as much as in many ways I don't like them I will file a suite with the ACLU.

This is nothing like the country I was born in almost 60 years ago.

[SS Wood]

Do not complain to the Police Chief, or to the city Manager Doug Bartosh, who still unlawfully influences his former department of SS Agents.
They will persecute and try to prosecute you for the rest of your life.
FIRST
Write to the honorable Diane Joens: http://www.dianejoens.com/contact.htm
Stress MISCONDUCT, POLICE

[I Am Shocked]

NOT !!!

This has been ongoing for many years here in Cottonwood.

It is about time someone stoodup against these publicly funded gangsters.
This entire police force and city council are as corrupt as the arsenic in are water.

I am filling charges myself with the DOJ, as i am FED up with this blatant abuse of power.

Any one else having problems with this so called Police Dept. we urge you to see the above, and file along with us.

I was stocked relentlessly for over four years by this department. everywhere i went, they were there. even in my church. all because of a viscous roomer.

I am filling.

THANKS!

Got a paper to appear in court on 12/17 at 1:30. This should be interesting. The Cop in his report said I said I wouldn't drive down 2nd street that is lie one. Then he said I could drive down 2nd street. That is lie two he said if I kept going down 2nd street i'd be arrested.

What it gets down to with me is the city and the country to the point that you can be told what streets you can drive down and what streets you can't even if your not bothering anyone. Seems the whole country is going down the tubes

This has been going on in Cottonwood for years. Honest officers on the force are ashamed by whats going on, but if they complain, they are punished.
Criminal acts by certain officers and city officials are swept under the rug all the time. Be careful "accidents" or "resisting arrest" can happen at any time here.

[cottonwood guy]

i somehow doubt you were threaten with "arrest" for simply driving down the street.

people bitch and moan about the police then they expect them to be there to save there ass at the drop of a hat if something goes wronge.

I HATE COPS!!! WAHHHH... OHH HELP 911 I NEED COPS HERE RIGHT AWAY!!

lol ridiculous, stfu

What all of you are saying is that our governments are being run by organized crime. . . .

As Sheriff of Mayberry, I resemble that remark!
We are not gangsters, but just a bunch of high school dropouts trying to cope with all the crap you bastards created like driving down 2nd street without a permit.
This whole thing has been complicated by my inept, though well-meaning deputy, Barney Fife, who cannot even spell his own name correctly.
So all you stupid citizens, watch out ... we are watching you on 2nd Street, and every way you go in my town. We own it - as no one has any rights here what-so-ever. Just keep on paying those high taxes so we can promote all my deputies to Commander. Then --
We are gona' get you one way or another so I can pile everyone into my ole' rusty and cold cast iron jail downtown.
Remember, Barney has only one bullet .. and will use it!

When are they going to throw those loser acoustic terrorists in prison? You know, the boom car punks who keep us up all night blaring those stupid car radios. Pure Terrorism!
