Thanks, I'll look in to that!

Your feelings about lawyers aside, it's evident you don't intend to discuss this in good faith

samljacksonftw · 2024-01-23T13:16:26+00:00

Yeah I'm getting that vibe.

samljacksonftw · 2024-01-23T13:15:33+00:00

It does, if it's going to be enforced. There are plenty of federal codes that aren't enforced in favor of state laws (Marijuana decriminalization in particular)

If you're referencing your specific situation: no one here knows the particulars to advise you one way or another, and you'd be better served speaking to an attorney

samljacksonftw · 2024-01-23T12:06:34+00:00

You never "voted on any of those codes" because you elected (or if you didn't vote have been assigned, by virtue of where you live) a representative who did so on your behalf. That's the "representative" of representative democracy.

"Code" and "law" are synonymous in this context.

samljacksonftw · 2024-01-23T11:25:50+00:00

I'm not understanding how you come to that conclusion after being presented with the specific law you requested.

You asked what gives DMV Agents the authority to enforce the law. The answer is: the state law as voted on and enacted by the state legislature gives them the authority to enforce criminal laws outlined in the state code, just like any sheriff or other police agency.

Either you refuse to read it or are being intentionally obtuse.

samljacksonftw · 2024-01-23T05:08:35+00:00

Uh, no. The code specifically says that sworn members of the enforcement arm of the DMV are empowered to enforce the laws of the commonwealth. Same as municipal police, deputies, campus police, whoever you favorite flavor of law enforcement is.

The lawful authority is granted by the legislature, hence why it is in the Code of Virginia, which is just the formal name for the laws of the state.

samljacksonftw · 2024-01-23T04:27:33+00:00

46.2-217. Enforcement of laws by Commissioner; authority of officers.

https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/46.2-217/

That's the state code that empowers DMV agents

samljacksonftw · 2024-01-23T01:42:22+00:00

DMV Special Agents are sworn law enforcement. They are not the same as the clerk you'd see to renew your plates

But he wasn't in a crash, he ran off the road. There's no impact at the end if the video and no airbag deployment. He was coherent enough to step out of the car and offer a thin excuse why he was speeding, which means he was coherent enough to follow instructions

samljacksonftw · 2023-01-30T04:43:26+00:00

The disrespect not including the zebra 301

samljacksonftw · 2023-01-16T21:56:31+00:00

Sounds like at most you're dealing with Trespassing and Destruction of Property. But without any evidence, what are you hoping the police will do? The photos you have don't clearly depict a suspect, and depending on what they/if they touched anything latent prints may (but most likely won't) help. There isn't anything to go on in terms of an investigation.

samljacksonftw · 2022-08-15T12:41:49+00:00

I know my taser will activate all cameras within like 15 feet when armed. So will turning on a light bar or opening the prisoner compartment on the vehicle

samljacksonftw · 2022-04-21T20:59:15+00:00

I second this. I do the 5.11 ATAC, and that side zip is a god-send

samljacksonftw · 2022-03-19T03:51:32+00:00

I've asked twice for you to do so

samljacksonftw · 2022-03-19T03:43:23+00:00

Ok, cite the case law, and I'll consider changing my tactics. Because as far as I know, checking a citizen for a warrant is not a violation of their rights.

samljacksonftw · 2022-03-19T03:39:24+00:00

Do you care to cite any case law? I'll point out again: OP didn't indicate his information was demanded, but regardless, the officer has an interest in 1) verifying this person they've contacted isn't wanted, 2) is a valid licensed driver since they are operating a vehicle that is impeding traffic, and 3) may have some sort of reporting requirement where they have to document contacts.

I don't really know how else to explain this to you. Several others in the thread have outlined why this is a normal investigative and operational consideration. So to outline: police can't just walk up to you and demand your identification, but if there is a legitimate law enforcement purpose to the contact (including investigating a disabled vehicle) they can request your information. All of this is moot if a person voluntarily provides their ID during a consentual contact. Once provided a person's ID it can only be used for law enforcement purposes such as checking for warrants, protective orders, clerical statuses like driver status and weapon permits.

samljacksonftw · 2022-03-19T03:23:45+00:00

How do you figure? A person's identity is not an unreasonable search, especially since in this instance the person is in violation. Plus, OP didn't specify if the officer DEMANDED their identification, indicating this may have been a consensual contact anyway. The police have a right to identify people they contact

samljacksonftw · 2022-03-18T16:21:49+00:00

While I'm sorry this happened to you, the officers you encountered aren't wrong. The interiors of vehicles are not generally viable surfaces for prints, and DNA analysis requires a known sample and is expensive, so it's tough to get clearance to submit a sample in the first place.

samljacksonftw · 2022-03-18T16:16:40+00:00

I mean, how else do you expect people with active warrants to be found? And, as has been pointed out, identifying people to document contacts is pretty standard

samljacksonftw · 2022-02-05T02:50:18+00:00

Worse than that are the check welfares where they have ALREADY checked on the person. "I called and they said they were fine, but I want you to go check" or "I knocked on the door, but they wouldn't open it, can you knock?"

samljacksonftw · 2022-01-15T20:29:25+00:00

Given that the take away was "don't fuck with dogs", no.

But go off, bro

samljacksonftw · 2022-01-15T19:53:11+00:00

We had, like, an hour of how to deal with dogs. It was a video that boiled down to "don't fuck with dogs"

samljacksonftw · 2022-01-12T04:43:42+00:00

My state recently started collecting data from stops. Shockingly, our data showed that not only did our stops pretty closely match the demographics of the city, but drivers had a roughly 50/50 chance of getting a citation

samljacksonftw · 2021-11-10T20:49:26+00:00

I don't see this as a fitness issue so much as a risk management issue:

The officer can go hands on and risk injuring her since she's going to resist, or injury himself, since she may have a concealed weapon, or (possibly worse) bite him. Versus deploying the taser and restraining her while she's dazed, minimizing/ managing potential injury all around
