GCPD probing officers' actions during disputed search for pot

Once again sir. I was there. You were not . The officer's behavior was far being easy on us. And no we could not have been arrested. Nothing criminal was found or do you not understand that. If there was anyway to charge me that night they would have. Believe me. I have personally called the police department and told them that if they want me to come get me. It's not gonna happen

GCPD probing officers' actions during disputed search for pot

We were told that some plastic cannisters found in our yard tested positive for marijuana. Sargent Kannigiser told us his men were testing them on my front porch. There is no record anywhere of any test being done or any test results. Maybe that's why the cannisters weren't seized. The police lied about doing the test. Is it wrong when the police lie?

I don't need a lawyer. I haven't been charged with a crime or did you forget that little fact. So know having macuar degeneration and surgery is reason to suspect someone of using marijuana. This shows how truly ignorant you are. Smoking is the worst thing you can do for macular degeneration. I will also mention the fact that you don't know the first thing about my father. Since you believe that more and more elderly are turning to marijuana, you should lead the task force that raids all of the nursing homes. As for my job, I am a full time caregiver for a very sick man. Do you have a problem with that? And yes I did attend Brookwood High School. And no it's not supposed to mean anything. No one said it did. I have lived in this community at the same home for 35 years. And yes that does matter. Yes I do have DUI arrests on my record. In April I will also have 5 years sobriety. What exactly do my DUI arrests have to do with the way the police behaved in my home on Nov. 8, 2012?

Man blasts incident report detailing disputed pot search

The police are the ones who made threats to arrest me for wanting to videotapte and have an unbiased record of what happened in my home. They are the ones who didn't want a record of their behavior. I wonder why? They are the ones who threatened to arrest me for having legal grow equipment and fertilizers. They are the ones who bullied me over a three hour period and made threats to arrest me if I didn't tell them where they could find a pound of marijuana in one week. Officer Griswold was the one spitting in my trash cans and making a comment about the size of my penis. They are the ones who went onto my neighbor's property and opened their mailbox without any search warrant. Sargent Kannigiser is the one who was swearing at me and threatening me with arrest time and time again. Once again I will say that not one single piece of criminal evidence was found or taken from my home. Officer Cultarevic and Officer Mitchem came back to my home a week after the raid to get information on where they could find a pound of marijuana. I told them I was invoking the fifth amendment and wouldn't be answering any more questions. In the report the officer says I invoked the fourth amendment. And yes I do have DUI arrests on my record from 2003 and 2006. In April I will also have 5 years of sobriety. What do my DUI arrests from 2003 and 2006 have to do with the way the police behaved in my home on Nov. 8, 2012. And yes the investigation is still pending. I filed this complaint on Nov. 20, 2012. We were told it would take 45 to 60 days. It's now been 80 days. It shouldn't take 3 months for internal affairs to finish an investigation of what six police officers did in my home for three hours. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a video or audio tape of that night. There wouldn't be any dispute about what happened or what was said. Oh yeah, I tried to do that but was threatened with handcuffs. Why wouldn't the police audiotape their interrogation of me?

Why don't we outlaw the car you drive. The ease at which a bad guy could steal your car and use it for evil is too great a risk to everyone involved.

I respect your comments sir but I would also respectfully disagree. I was there that night. You were not. Not one single piece of criminal evidence was found or taken from my home. The police threatened to handcuff me for simply wanting to videotape and have an unbiased record of what went on. This would have protected myself and the police. I would also mention they were swearing at me as well for just asking a question. I was told I could be arrested, held without bond, and sent to prison for possessing grow lights and fertilizers. This is not true. These items are no more illegal then the sunglasses on your face. There were six policemen that had me backed into a corner of my kitchen. They were all asking questions and making threats at the same time. I could barely eve n get an answer out. I was told to just say I had plants here and had taken them somewhere else and they said they would leave. After hours of threats and intimidation and seeing my father collapse on the floor I just told them what they wanted to hear so they would leave my house. They told me I had one week to tell them where they could find a pound of marijuana. They came back in a week. I inovked the fifth amendment at that point which is what I should have done when they were interrogating me in my home. I was scared and confused because they were saying they could arrest me when there wasn't anything criminal in my home. You should also know that Officer Griswold was walking around my home and spitting into my trash cans. He also decided to make a comment about the size of my penis after seeing some of my condoms. How would you feel if a police officer came into your bedroom and made a comment about your penis? It's not like I can really challenge the officer. Were not on an equal playing field. The officer is armed and in a position of authority over me. There's no excuse for a police officer making this kind of comment. I bet you would have something to say if they made a comment about your wife or your daughter's genitals. I know plenty of things the police did wrong that night. They also went onto my neighbor's property and opened their mailbox without a warrant or consent. These cops are so corrupt that they have tailored the incident report to try and discredit me. That didn't find what they wanted to find so now they are saying I told them I used pot everyday to treat the mild schizophrenia I've been diagnosed with. The police report is just a bunch of lies. The facts are nothing criminal was found, no charges were filed, no arrest made. Innocent until proven guilty.

I've been taking care of my sick father by myself for over 15 years through a variety of illnesses and episodes. Family comes first to me. Suggesting that I am a "failure to launch" without knowing me or my situation is just rude. Maybe you are a "failure to use your brain before you open your mouth"
