This cop is too dumb to use sound judgment; he is a Barney Fife, who should be made to resign for being such a dumbass. If they are going to let people carry a badge and a gun, the should at least have an IQ over 90.
You might say that he is obligated to make an arrest if he catches someone in violation.
If that is your position, you are also a dumbass; here are some other Illinois laws you believe the police are obligated to enforce:
- A state law requires that a man's female companion shall call him "master" while out on a date. The law does not apply to married couples.
- In Zion, It is illegal for anyone to give cats, dogs, or other domesticated animals a lighted cigar.
Say you take out your smart phone and you start taking pictures of police officers making an arrest. The pictures and video are allowed by law, but you must have permission before you record the audio, even if the officer is on the public way.
"I'm just an ordinary citizen. I was on my way to the movies, and all of a sudden I'm facing a felony and 15 years in prison." Frobe said.
Frobe calls it the worst experience of his life. He was on his way to a late evening movie on an August night last year when he was stopped for speeding in far north suburban Lindenhurst. He didn't believe he was in a 35-mile-an-hour zone, and he figured if he was going to get ticket he wanted to be able to document his challenge with video evidence, so he got out his flip camera, which he was not very adept at using.
At one point he held it out the window trying to record where he was. When the officer, being recorded on his squad dash cam, walked back to Frobe's car, the officer saw Frobe's camera.
Officer: "That recording? Frobe : "Yes, Yes, I've been... Officer: "Was it recording all of our conversation? Frobe: "Yes. Officer: "Guess what? You were eavesdropping on our conversation. I did not give you permission to do so. Step out of the vehicle."
Louis Frobe was then cuffed and arrested for felony eavesdropping.
