What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I just recently moved to a very small town. My wife was pulled over in my truck, the police chief took her drivers license and registration and made her come down to his office to discuss the citation. She said she felt it was innapropriate and felt the chief was being arrogant and boasting / flirting with her. She got a speeding violoation.
Week later im pulled over by same officer. He tells me im speeding and he thought it was my wife speeding again thats why he pulled me over. I assured him i was not speeding I asked for to see the radar and his log books. I told him I was sorry to dissapoint him that he wasnt pulling over my wife, and i felt it was innapropriate for any one to have to go down town to his private office to get a speeding violation. He became defensive and refused to show me his radar or logs and said this would be a verbal warning.
Sunday night i am traveling back from out of state,wife and kids in tow 11pm at night,windy and cold. I am driving into city limits with cruise control on 45 speed limit 45. i am followed from city line to my driveway. i pull in to my driveway no lights no sirens and a the cop pulls in after me. I exit the car. take my 2 year old out his car seat like normal and the deputy chief has his flashlight in my face and tells me infront of my wife ,6year old to" get back in the ****ing car" which i respond not with out lights and sirens or probable cause why are you on my private property" he says he needs my liscence and registration. My wife asks him why he is being rude to us He states he is being rude to me not her. I gave him my liscence and told him " i want to inform him i have a firearm in the glove box and that is where my registration. he tells me that he pulls me over cause there were 2 reports of me speeding around town. I told him that he followed me from the city limits to my house and i just came back to town, how could this be. He points his finger in my face and says are you calling me a liar. I told him he was misinformed. i tried to deescalate but it got worse. he said i was speeding when i came into town and he could issue my a citation for 53/45.I assured him i was not speeding I asked for to see the radar and his log books. No violations were issued. no warnings were issued. I assure him that would be filing a formal complaint that this is harrassment
Heres the point i break. 12 hours later the police chief goes to my wifes employer and my employer with a copy of alleged report and states that this incident is not appropriate and might cause a professional strain on the police dept and the professional business within the community. I work in a hospital , my wife works in a nursing home. He doesnt even have jurisdiction of my hospital it is the sherriffs jurisdiction. i have contacted an attorney and awaiting consultation.
I have never been so mad what do i do**************.
