Pueblo Mafia

When police are allowed to violate the very laws they are tasked to enforce, on the public, it is NOT justice it is tyranny! These police officers did NOT have permission to enter the private property - for ANY reason!

Without presenting a legal, valid arrest warrant the officers in this video had NO authority to enter private property. The act of climbing over a fence, because the gate is/was locked, is trespassing, a violation of the privacy of the residents, and makes the police worse than the criminals on the street. ANY one, without permission, who enters private property is subject to prosecution under Colorado codified laws!

These officers failed to identify themselves, they refused to give their name and badge numbers when the property owner requested all their identifying information.

 

This video shows a classic case of kidnapping by police. To justify their illegal actions they claimed the person taken  had an outstanding warrant. 

If the person did have an active warrant  - why didn't the officers present it? It is a well know fact and common knowledge that police are allowed to lie to illicit compliance from the public

Why did they loiter outside the fence of a private residence for over an hour? It is FAR too convenient for them to justify their actions by claiming there is an outstanding warrant -  AFTER they violate several laws to kidnap someone!

The officers did request the gate to be opened - their request was denied -  as is the right of the property owner!

The two officers who climbed over the fence conspired with one another, and perhaps the other officers at the scene, to knowingly, willfully and maliciously commit trespass - in violation of

Sec. 11-1-406. - Trespass.

A person is legally accountable as a principal for the behavior of another constituting an offense if, with the intent to promote or facilitate the commission of the offense, he or she aids, abets or advises the other person in planning or committing the offense.

The officers left a vehicle parked on the street, that blocked the driveway to the property and the west bound lane of East 14th street, for over an hour in violation of

Interesting Tidbits

Federal Criminal Enforcement

It is a crime for one or more persons acting under color of law willfully to deprive or conspire to deprive another person of any right protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States. (18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242).

"Color of law" simply means that the person doing the act is using power given to him or her by a governmental agency (local, State, or Federal). A law enforcement officer acts "under color of law" even if he or she is exceeding his or her rightful power. The types of law enforcement misconduct covered by these laws include excessive force, sexual assault, intentional false arrests, or the intentional fabrication of evidence resulting in a loss of liberty to another. Enforcement of these provisions does not require that any racial, religious, or other discriminatory motive existed.

What remedies are available under these laws? Violations of these laws are punishable by fine and/or imprisonment. There is no private right of action under these statutes; in other words, these are not the legal provisions under which you would file a lawsuit on your own.

Overcoming Immunity

Being stopped and questioned by police in connection with a crime is an unsettling experience for most anyone. As long as the officer is performing his job properly, however, there is no violation of a suspect's rights. In fact, police are immune from suit for the performance of their jobs unless willful, unreasonable conduct is demonstrated. Mere negligence, the failure to exercise due care, is not enough to create liability. Immunity therefore means that in the typical police-suspect interaction, the suspect cannot sue the police. Civil rights remedies come into play for willful police conduct that violates an individual's constitutional rights.

Excessive Force

Excessive force claims receive the most publicity, perhaps because the results of excessive force seem the most outrageous, involving serious physical injury or death. Whether the officer's use of force was reasonable depends on the surrounding facts and circumstances. The officer's intentions or motivations are not controlling. If the amount of force was reasonable, it doesn't matter that the officer's intentions were bad. But the reverse is also true: if the officer had good intentions, but used unreasonable force, the excessive force claim will not be dismissed.

Failure to Intervene

Officers have a duty to protect individuals from constitutional violations by fellow officers. Therefore, an officer who witnesses a fellow officer violating an individual's constitutional rights may be liable to the victim for failing to intervene.

What to do!

Remain CALM!

You don't have to agree to a search. Say, "I do not consent to a search."

Ask, "Am I free to leave?"

• If you are free to leave – leave calmly.
• If you are not free to leave. Ask "Am I being arrested?"
• If you are arrested, remain clam, ask for a lawyer immediately.
• The answer to all questions is "I want an attorney."

 - The police must have a reasonable suspicion – meaning a clear, specific and unbiased reason for suspecting that you committed, are committing, or are about to commit a crime.

 - They cannot stop you simply because you "look suspicious."

Think your rights have been violated, file a written complaint with police department internal affairs division or civilian complaint board, or call the ACLU hotline, 1-877-6-PROFILE.
