Reciting the 4th, posting, reading, and misinterpreting the city ordinances?
Guys, please, PLEEEEEASE! Keep in mind that what we consider a "hobby" in reality can be considered criminal activity.
Conspiracy is a very long, tedious, and expensive charge to bring, investigate, and prove. Yet possibly could be applied to this very type of forum.
Should a crime of some sort take place that would necessitate the bringing of a warrant during the investigation.
The very act of offering advice / tips to circumvent the performance of a LEO's job, as well as asking for, and providing information.
To aid in the commission of a crime is. In fact. Conspiratorial!
Just recently a post by DiverDown6969 describing the stalking of, and conspiracy to cause harm to another.
Could have resulted in just this type of warrant. It would have started with Clist, then moved on to CPD's, and, certainly the federal cyber division.
To search for any mention of specific words in the posting, it's replies. Etc, and the next thing you know. Badda Bing Badda Boom.
We may all get to meet face to face.
That being said, my advice is to have your back story ready, what your destination is etc. And rehearsed, should you be stopped. Cooperate to the point of identifying yourself.
Whether verbally or providing physical proof. At this point, and ONLY at this point ask if there is something specific you have done to warrant being stopped.
So, make sure your vehicle is in compliance, your tags, and I'd are current, registration, and proof of insurance is in tact.
Be sure that there is ZERO contraband in, or on your person, and vehicle.
OH. And if you exit your vehicle during this encounter. LOCK IT! Keep keys in your hand, so that you are not "reaching" for anything.
Searching a locked vehicle without permission requires waaayyyy more hassle, and time for the LEO's than they want to spend on a solicitation suspicion.
Remember. " just because your paranoid, does not they aren't out to get you. " Watching your Six.
