“A criminal is a person with
predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation.”
Howard Scott
In June of 1997, a 23-year
veteran of the Fairfax County police was charged armed (Shotgun) robbery of
bank and stealing more than $70,000. The
cop had three years to go before retirement.
After he was arrested, the cop was relieved of duty and placed on
administrative leave with pay.
Let me repeat that. After he was
arrested, the cop was relieved of duty and placed on administrative leave with
pay.
The cop was eventually sent to
prison on the charge.
On March 24, 1998, the cop was indicted on similar charges in
Stafford County Police said the former Fairfax Count Cop robbed the National Bank of Fredericksburg on
Nov. 21, 1995, and Sept. 17, 1996.
On April 18, 1979, Adrienne Kent
Lamb was charged with shooting her husband to death during an argument. The husband was a retired Fairfax County cop.
In March of 2012 a 16-year
veteran of the Fairfax County Police who resigned from the force in June 2010,
took a pistol and shot his 13-year-old through the head and then killed
himself. The Fairfax County Police
refused to provide information on the murder suicide.
On June 20, 2012, a Fairfax County cop was charged with
domestic assault and battery by Prince William County Police. The 44-year old
cop allegedly attacked a 21-year-old man causing him injury
In 2006, a Fairfax cop was
arrested for drunk driving. The cop smashed his Hummer H3 sport-utility vehicle
into the back of a delivery truck and refused to take a breath test. He was
placed on administrative leave with pay pending an internal investigation. The
case was dismissed. The arresting cop didn’t show up in court. Pretty good deal, huh? Think you’d get the
same from the police? And what was the
outcome of the internal investigation? You’re joking right?
In 2011, a Fairfax County cop was arrested for DWI
after he crashed his car into a utility
pole.
…AND THAT’S ALL WE EVER HEARD
ABOUT IT
In August of 1974, Acting Fairfax
County Executive Doug Harman ordered an investigation into police misconduct
after the state’s attorney started its own investigation into widespread
criminal wrongdoing in the department.
Two county cops were suspended….not fire but suspended…. after refusing
to answer questions about graft and corruption inside the force.
Filing a Complaint against a
Fairfax County Cop. Not really a very
good idea at all.
The role of the Fairfax County
Internal Affairs office is to protect the image of the police department and
gather enough evidence to protect the police department against possible
lawsuits by citizens who have been abused by the police.
There is a reason the Fairfax
County Police never, ever, make public, any disciplinary action on its
own. It’s because disciplinary action by
the department is extremely rare and on those few occasions when it is meted
out, it is notoriously lenient. Nor is
the reprimand kept in the cops file
permanently.
Why?
Because the Internal Affairs
office has no interest in solving your problem or bringing corrupt and abusive
cops to justice. So filing a complaint a
Fairfax County cop is virtually useless and probably dangerous. Remember, they
know where you live and kind of car you drive and your car’s license plate
number.
But if you insist on filing a
complaint against a cop, do it in writing.
Never ... ever...under any circumstances at all should you walk into a
Fairfax County police station by yourself
or with others, and try to file a
complaint against a Fairfax County cop.
It is a dangerous and stupid thing to do. National testing had shown that even in
well-managed police departments, civilian who file in-person complaints are
harassed or falsely arrested.
Again, if you absolutely feel
that you must file a complaint against the police do it by certified mail. Certified mail gives you proof that you filed
a complaint against a cop. So in the
event you are harassed by the cops later on and need state or federal
intervention, you have evidence that the harassment is real.
As soon as possible write down
everything that happened. You have about a three months to file the complaint,
so write it down, put it away, and come back to it later. That usually takes
the emotion from the complaint.
Tell the truth. The cops are going to assume you’re a lair
and will look at every word to catch you in an exaggeration or a lie. If they do, they’ll probably threaten you
with arrest.
Your compliant should include:
The name of the cop you're filing
a complaint against. Name or badge number will do.
What the cop said or did to
justify the complaint.
Date, time, and location it
happened.
If you have witnesses you should
ask each of them to write a separate account of the incident.
In the rare event that cops try
to contact you by phone or mail to do a "follow up" about your
complaint, don’t answer any questions and never, ever, go down to the police
station for an interview.
Everything they need to know is
in your letter you sent. That’s it. End of conversation. Stick to what you said
in your complaint letter and say nothing else!
If You Are Stopped in Your Car
The Fairfax County Police are
dangerous. If you are stopped by one of
them while you are driving, try to stop, if you can, in busy well-lighted area.
Show your driver's license and
registration upon request. You can, in
certain cases, be searched without a warrant so long as the cops have probable
cause.
To protect yourself later, you
should make it clear that you do not consent to a search.
A cop has no right to detain you
unless there exists reasonable suspicion that you committed a crime or traffic
violation. In order to get around that, a cop will try to initiate a
"voluntary" conversation with you.
Again, say nothing.
If you are given a ticket, you
should sign it, otherwise you can be arrested. You can always fight the case in
court later.
If you are suspected of drunken
driving and refuse a blood, urine or breath test, your driving license can be
suspended.
If you are arrested or taken to a
police station you have the right to remain silent and talk to a lawyer before
you talk to the police. Tell the police nothing except your name and address.
Do not give explanations, excuses, or stories. You can make your defense in
court based on what you and your lawyer decide is best.
Ask to see a lawyer immediately.
If you cannot pay for a lawyer, you have a right to a free one, and you should
ask the police how the lawyer can be contacted. Do not talk without a lawyer.
If you are arrested.
As you will read in the pages
ahead, the Fairfax County Police lie, and lie regularly, about circumstances
that led to an arrest. So if you are arrested SAY NOTHING. Don't answer
questions the police ask you, except your name, your address, and your age. Speak
to the cops only after you have hired a lawyer and the lawyer tells you what to
say.
Even if the police don't read
your Miranda Rights "the right to remain silent, anything you say can and
will be...," don't say anything until your lawyer or public defender
arrives. If you "voluntarily" talk to the police, then they don't
have to read your Miranda Rights to you.
Lies the Fairfax County cops will
use to get you to talk
The cops will lie, cheat, steal
and trick you into talking your way into an arrest. Always, always, always say this; "Am I free to leave? If not I'm going to remain silent and I want
a lawyer."
Here are some lies the cops will
tell you to get you to indict yourself. And your answer is "Am I free to
leave? If not I'm going to remain silent
and I want a lawyer."
"You will have to stay here
and answer my questions" "Am I free to leave? If not I'm going to remain silent and I want
a lawyer."
"You're not leaving until I
find out what I want to know." "Am I free to leave? If not I'm going to remain silent and I want
a lawyer."
"I have evidence on you, so tell me what
I want to know or else." "Am I free to leave? If not I'm going to remain silent and I want
a lawyer."
"You're not a suspect, were
simply investigating here. Just help us understand what happened and then you
can go." "Am I free to leave?
If not I'm going to remain silent and I want a lawyer."
"If you don't answer my
questions, I won't have any choice but to take you to jail." "Am I
free to leave? If not I'm going to
remain silent and I want a lawyer."
"If you don't answer these questions,
you'll be charged with resisting arrest." "Am I free to leave? If not I'm going to remain silent and I want
a lawyer."
"Your friend has told his side of the
story and it's not looking good for you, anything you want to say in your
defense?" "Am I free to leave?
If not I'm going to remain silent and I want a lawyer."
The Supreme Court has ruled that
cops can lie to the public. Fairfax County cops are trained at lying, twisting
words and to being manipulative. SO DON’T SAY ANYTHING.
Teach your children that the
policeman IS NOT their friend and that they must call a parent for permission
before they talk to the cops ABOUT ANYTHING.
The cop may seem nice and pretend
to be on your side they're wanting to learn your habits, opinions, and
affiliations of other people not suspected of wrongdoing. Don't answer a cops questions, it can be very
dangerous. The cops WILL take a seemingly harmless bit of information and use
and misconstrue it to harm you or a loved one.
If you're arrested and cannot
afford an attorney, you have the right to a public defender. If you get a
public defender always make it clear to the judge that the public defender is
not representing you, but is serving as your counsel.
Don't talk to other jail inmates
about your case. It might be a cop your talking too or one of the many snitches
the police have working for them.
Within a reasonable time after
your arrest or booking, you have the right to make a local phone call to a
lawyer, bail bondsman, relative, or any other person. The police may not listen
to the call to the lawyer.
If the Cops come to your home.
If the police knock on your door,
you DON'T have to open the door unless they have a warrant signed by a judge.
There is NO law that requires you
to open your door to the cops.
Don't open your door with the
chain-lock on, the cops will shove their way in.
You don’t to answer the door if
they knock on it and you are not required to answer their shouts to open the
door.
Like any other vampire, cops need
your permission to come into your home.
So never invite one into your home. All that does is to give them the
opportunity to look around for clues to your lifestyle, habits, friends,
reading material.
Letting the cops into your home
also tends to prolong the conversation. DON’T TALK TO THE COPS.
If you are arrested directly
outside your home, the cops might ask if you would like to go inside your house
to get anything. The answer is No. I's a
trick. Don't let cops, especially the
Fairfax County Police, into your home.
Never agree to go to the police
station if the police want to question you. Just say, "I have nothing to
say"
* In some emergency situations
cops are then allowed to enter and search your home without a warrant. As an example, when a someone is screaming
for help from inside your home, police are chasing someone into your home,
police see a felony being committed or if someone has called 911 from inside
your house.
Car and Body Searches
Remember, the cops wouldn't ask
you to search your body or your car if they didn't need your permission to
search.
Denying a cops request to search
you or your car is not an admission of guilt, it's your right.
The law does allow cops to pat
down your outer clothing to see if you have any weapons. If the cop feels
something that he believes is a weapon, then he can go into your pockets and
pull out the item he believes is a weapon.
A cop may ask you or even demand
that you empty your pockets, but you have the right to say no. No matter what a Fairfax County cop will tell
you, there is no law that requires you to empty your pockets when you are told
to do so.
The only time a cop should be
taking your personal property out of your pockets is after you have been
arrested.
The cops are allowed to handcuff
you and/or detain. Don't resist or you
will be arrested There's a big difference between being detained and being
arrested.
If you are arrested and your car
is towed, the police are allowed to take an "inventory" of the items
in your car. If anything is found that's illegal, the police will get a warrant
and then charge you with another crime.
The cops need your permission to
have a conversation, never give it to them. There is NO law that says you must
tell a cop where you are going or where you have been.
Traffic Stops and Your Rights
Keep your license, registration,
and proof of insurance in an easily accessible place such as attached to your
sun visor. Fairfax County Police are gun
happy. They kill people, often without
good reason. When pulled over stay in
the car, turn on the interior lights and keep your hands on the steering wheel.
Sit still and wait for the cop to
come to you. Any sudden movements,
ducking down, looking nervous or appearing to be searching for something under
your seat is dangerous. Again, Fairfax
County Police tend to shoot first and ask later. If they kill you, they will more than
probably get away with it and they know that, so do nothing.
Don’t talk. If the cop asks you “Do you know why I
stopped you?” the answer is “No”.
Usually Fairfax County doesn’t know why he or she stopped you except
their bored or under their arrest quota (The Fairfax County Police deny they
have an arrest quota)
If the cop asks “ Do you know how
fast you were going?" the answer is “Within the speed limit” because the
cop is trying to get you to do two things, admit that you committed a traffic
violation and to get you to "voluntarily" start a conversation with
him. Remember the police officer is not
your friend and should not be trusted.
The cop might start asking
personal questions such as "where are you going?” etc. At that point it's the perfect time to
exercise your rights by asking the police officer "AM I FREE TO GO?"
because there is NO legal requirement that American citizens provide
information about their comings and goings to the cops.
A cop can detain you during a
pull over for no more than 15-20 minutes, according to the Supreme Court.
