Saw this and thought it was interesting and goes to show not everywhere lets the police do as they want.

That's pretty cool, the judge (from the article, at least) got the fact that people have rights down pat. This has been a good last couple weeks, this, and the DC gun ban being killed.

well, that he had already served before the trial.....so he got off just about as free as he could have.

got it, read that kinda backwards i guess

but i still think the cops should have gotten in trouble more then their physical beat down. It sounded like his wife did nothing wrong and was still being wrongfully arrested or handcuffed at least.

Yea, I was looking for one of the other articles about it but didn't have any luck. Pretty much the officers came to serve the guy papers. Officers see wife and ask her to bring her husband outside. Wife says no and goes to close the garage door, officers bust in, throw her down and start handcuffing. Guy comes down when he hears his wife screaming.

He should have stomped the bitches ribs after they were out. I would have made sure they were good and sore....

Given that he won the other 5 charges, what do you think his chances would have been if he had argued that the disarming of the officers (the taking of the Taser) would not have occured if they had not been violating his rights already by being in his house? I don't know, just something that came up on another board since the judge did find that the officers should not have been inside anyway.

I would imagine he would get it dismissed, but he agreed that he did it. since he took in self defense and not in the use of criminal activity, i think it should have been dismissed. technically, if that is a felony, then mrs. police officer can't use her husbands taser in self-defense.
