OT He stole my trailer, an I'm the crook?

The deputy told him that if he had the devise activated and used it to track down the theif then A: any evidence obtained in this manner would not be admissable in court and would in fact insure that this thug got off scott free; and B: Tim would be in violation of Alabama's "Anti-stalking Law" and subject to penalties greater than those for stealing the trailer.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

I told him if he wants the trailer back to turn on the tracker, and give me a call. Then if any problems arise from my solution to deney all knowledge, and claim that the trailer was back because some body must have borrowed it and failed to mention it.

I agree with your analysis, but who knows how the law might read in Alabama? I would suggest that the trailer owner talk to the prosecuting attorney, or an attorney that specializes in criminal law. That officer's advice sounds screwy to me!

I read the tractor boards fairly often and sometimes respond if I think I have something to contribute. I haven't seen your name before on the boards, but figured it might be you. Snipes is not that common of a name. Most of us use handles on the boards, rather than our actual names. Since lots of people call me Hal, that was what I decided to use, but you know me as Neil.

I will stop by one of these days and we can talk about old times again. I didn't know you were interested in old tractors. Have a good one!

The cop. As usual. Grossly incompetent in his law knowledge and resisting doing his job.

just my two cents worth.

ps...no, i'm not a cop nor do i have any officers in my family.

In all reality I used to be very tough on crime, untill I got involved in our court system (not in a negative way). It is run as stupid as posible. Now with capital punishment I realy do have to ask--- did the person get a fair trial? Although this information is second hand and only one side of the story mentioned to me. A guy took a leak behind a tree near a tavern, got caught for indecent exposure. Is now on the National $ex offender list. The story was pretty convincing of being the truth.

Perhaps I must also explain-- In a divorce court the question was asked---Have you stoped beating your wife? yes or no? I explained I could not answer the question yes or no. I refused to answer in that format--the judge said I must answer the attorney. ---Is this for real--- I'm thinking--when in stupid town act like stupid town--So I had him repeat the question. Have you stopped beating your wife yes or no? I said Your honor with all do respect--I never had a wife named yeserno. The judge did smile but shook his finger at me and reminded me that a contempt order could be implied. No guys this is no bull. Yet this judge is determining where my child will reside, child support, financial matters, visitation--and no there is NEVER NEVER a jury in a divorce court in the state of Iowa. Now let me say that on cross examination my ex-wife did admit I had never so much as toutched her, and yes I was awarded custody of a two year old.

I will state that I will pay for your tracking fee if the trailer is in NE IA, and I'm resonably sure you will get it back. Red necks like fair hangings.

Also are these devises affordable, and where do you get them? Sorry for the dumb question, but heck I just heard the other day about something called indoor plumbing and something called toilet paper.

Does the cell phone companies sell the track your teen service or some other service in GA ?

While I lived in Tampa,FL ahinese Restaurant owner called the cops to get a blind mans guide dog thrown out , and the stupid cop did it.
Of course the blind man can now afford a gold collar for the guide dog :)
