Citizen's arrests date back to medieval times. They are arrests made by a person who is not acting as a sworn law-enforcement official. Generally, citizens are encouraged to be mindful of unlawfulness and to take action when they see it.

In an attempt to bring attention to the issue of unlawful traffic stops by police impersonators, Gavin Seim of Washington state flagged down a police officer.

The former Republican congressional candidate and self-proclaimed "liberty speaker" stopped a Washington state police officer last week because he was driving an unmarked vehicle.

Seim asked the officer if it was a registered unmarked vehicle for undercover work.

When the officer replied that it was a patrol car, Seim informed him of the law, saying, "You're not allowed to have patrol cars that are unmarked, are you aware of that?"

In the state of Washington, police are allowed to drive unmarked vehicles for special undercover work but not for regular patrols. This is not a national law.

Seim then went through all the normal steps of a traffic stop: taking the officer's name and asking to see his license. Then after a lengthy discussion about the law, Seim let him off with a warning. He urged the officer to speak with his bosses about their illegal patrol cars.

As odd as this may seem, Seim explains that he has a reason for this type of activism. He says that police using unmarked vehicles for regular patrols puts citizens in danger, because people can never be sure if they're being pulled over by actual cops. On his blog he wrote, "If you think it's not a serious issue, try asking those that have been raped or lost loves [sic] ones because of unmarked cars."

I saw that just a bit ago. That's really brave but great for him.
I also saw that the police chief (I think it was him) basically said that he couldn't afford to let the public be at risk while he waited for decals. Bull... I say.
To the citizen's point, it puts the public at more risk.
Also, if a citizen said, "I have to drive to and from work. I haven't had time to register my vehicle." I really doubt they would be able to use that for an excuse.
I hate that crap... My work does it too. If we mess up it's unacceptable. If they do it's just, "oops, sorry".

Interesting article.

On a side note, sorry for kind of freaking out in my religion thread, it was a rough day in general and I was annoyed that my thread about cops was closed because other ppl brought up religion when it had nothing to do with the topic really and then got offended and nasty when anyone disagreed.

But still I was being overly dramatic and confrontational too so I just wanted to say sorry and I don't want to have bad blood with anyone here despite differences in opinions on religion lol. I just didn't want ppl being attacked in my thread because of it either..

I just want to say...

People need to read very carefully what was said.
WHAT was said is WHAT was meant and nothing more. I caught the flack and I neither brought religion into that thread NOR did I present my own religious views OR attack another religion.
I attacked another person's MOTIVES as I saw them.
People should actually READ.
I may not have the best communication skills in the world but what I SAY, is absolutely as direct as anyone on the planet. I do not leave lines to read between. So what you saw said by me is exactly what I meant and I can tell you what you didn't see....
Me even mentioning my religious views, period.
Or attacking another's religion.

All motives, from beginning to end.

Look, read, and think about it.
Too many people are like cocked and ready guns just waiting to attack another over religion. I get accused exactly that when I'm the only one who did not, if you TRULY read, and understand.
I (or anyone who replied to her) was set up for a trap, for this. It was a trap for an attack when I simply called out the trap, YOU ALL made it a religious war. It was exactly what I called it out to be... Look at it! I was 100% right.

Also, I rarely apologize and this isn't even close to getting one from me.

Even to this point as I type these last words... I STILL haven't expressed my religious views or attacked anyone else's.

@ DeepFreeze, you have completely 100% adequate communication skills, that was never a question.. I'm just wondering what the "motives" are that you were attacking then?

If anyone's setting you up for a trap it's the person/people you're "fighting for"..

Please don't put that on me, I just wanted the religious riff-raff kept out of my thread...

Sigh, this is obviously directed at me, so here is my only response. I did not accuse you of attacking someone's religion. I did not like the fact you went at a teenager for a harmless comment. You could have been arguing with Karka about clowns and I still would have reacted the same. The only person took issue with my response to Ami's religious comment was Barbie, because she missed the point of my post.

If you question her motives fine, I just don't think it is appropriate to attack a girl who is constantly bullied at school and often states on here how upset she is by it. Yeah, Karka isn't perfect and there are times she is in on the arguments as well, but I don't feel this was a time she had bad intent. That's why you caught 'flack' it wasn't a religious thing.

I did actually "read," so thanks for the subtle insult. I would appreciate it in the future if you didn't cuss at me in response to my opinion, your reaction to me in the hearth and home thread was OTT and unnecessary. Telling me to GO ******* READ is never appropriate, neither is subtly hinting that I am stupid, ******* ignorant. Again, I am always open to discussing things, but it needs to be done in a calm and rationale manner.

No one deserves to be talked to like that, have I ever talked to you like that when I disagree with you? Karka is kind-hearted individual, I will go to bat for her every time because even if she gets into an argument, she is not malicious or hostile.

It's fine.

I don't really even care about the rest of it. I really just want to set the record straight that I attacked no religion, or anyone because of religion. Religious content was there, but had nothing to do with my actions. I think it was a trap to call out one or two individuals (not me). The individual I see as an instigator and it sure as $hit worked, didn't it?

Anyway... I've made my point as clear as I can possibly make it without going through it word for word.

Anyone who can't understand at this point I will chalk up as denial.

Well Bella, that's not what I got from you in the thread that was moved and then closed.
But, you got what you got. I don't respect you and I offer no apologies.

No love lost.

Karka... I've already said what I have to say.

it's a part of life. Friendships die sometimes. Blame the bond (or lack of) of the friendship, not yourself.
They die, and we carry on as individuals.
We never cease being individuals, we merely dance with one another and when the rhythm is broken between them, you keep dancing, even by yourself.

FireMoon, no need to apologize. If anything, you should be asking for an apology for the inappropriate comments above were also directed at you. If you have time, go to my Hearth and Home thread on page 4-you don't deserve to be talked to like that.

Bottom line, treat others the way you want to be treated. It sends the wrong message to new users here and to the value of the site. If you disagree with someone, talk about it in a respectful and diplomatic manner.

There have been many incidents where the both of you have attacked people for no reason, be specific if you are going to accuse me of anything:

-1st house stellium thread
-Karka in the picture thread
-Abortion thread
-My h & h thread
-Lexxi's thread
-Rie in my thread
Etc.

Would have been nice if you talked ABOUT me in a respectful, diplomatic manner. Don't you think? http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum21/HTML/000741.html Where we were specifically mentioned by name, not even implied.
Would you rather have it in your face, or behind your back?
And until the day I die, NO ONE will be getting an apology from me for any of this.

It's bigger than me anyway. This will never end. As long as I've been on forums since mid-late 90's, this stuff has taken place.
It will always be here. If not me, others, it's the reality of forum life. It's the reality of people and their behavior online. It hasn't changed even a TINY bit since I've been a part of any forum. So my advice is, get used to it and learn to get over it.
I'll quit when you do but for as long as I'm a member here and for as long as you continue to attempt to drag my name through the mud and place all this blame on me, I will fight.

Shall I point out that to this point YOU and your partners in crime are the only ones who made it religious. I haven't said a word about it other than to point it out to you.

I will forever refer to her by the other name too.
I promise you... You haven't even met steadfast and stubborn until you've dealt with me in cases like this. If anyone thinks I'm budging a picometer... You're wrong.

You're wrong, but I'm not going down this road with you.
For example, attacking and accusing us of supporting rape despite our COUNTLESS efforts to get you to see reality.
In which Lexxigrammer ABUSED her modship by voicing what she wanted to and closing the thread.
I'm 100% done with you and your crazy delusional thoughts in 3....2....1
As of this moment.... I don't care about you and your abusive teenager, VM.

Make your silly arguments.
Anyone who doesn't see the truth in these things can go right with you on the thrown of denial.

I really don't care what any of you think.
I don't care if I'm the ONLY one on my side.

I've wasted enough time on someone not even worthy of the sludge at the bottom of a fish farm.

FM, it takes a big person to apologize. You have my respect.
