Baloney on my hood...

[Mark_88]

Here's an intersting one...

My nephew, who is blind and brain damaged, had a little run-in with a local police officer...apparently the officer did not identify himself as such and made a comment to my nephew about him 'faking' his blindness...which, of course, provoked my nephew into trying to 'prove' his blindness...and an ensuing "Assault Police" charge...this happened in a public washroom inside of the street center in downtown Barrie.

Of course he came home livid and pretty much had the same effect on me when I finally got the story out of him. I went up to the local police department to find out more details (I was pissed and about to offer the officer my services in attitude correction) and ended up speaking with the Staff Sargent about getting the officer suspended...to no avail.

It turns out the office lied about my nephew's not being welcomed in the street center on his arrest report. My nephew spends a good deal of his time there giving talks about wearing a helmet to prevent brain damage from bike injuries like he suffered. I contacted the staff at the street center to see what the situation was and if there were any witnesses and they advised me that my nephew is very welcome and they love him to bits (that's what the girl said).

Sooooo...this morning I go out to get the trash bins from the side of the road and when I turn around I see lunch meat on my hood...balongna to be exact...

Two slices...placed on the hood...

Since I don't usually order this type of lunch meat to be delivered and the neighborhood kids usually just throw trash on the lawn and driveway I suspect this was some kind of 'warning' from the officer...

My sister is now considering a law suit against the officer for abuse of authority and also seeing about suing for damages..

I haven't reported it yet, but I did get a shot of the meat...well, one of the two slices...and I have the meat in the fridge for a snack later...if I don't report it...

[odie1969]

you might be careful removing the meat from the hood. In the summer time here in AZ you can pull the paint off with the meat. always a good revenge info.

[Mark_88]

Yeah, well, it's pretty cold here so it came off without any paint removed (you can't see it but my hood is bent from an accident so it needs to be replaced some day)...

Write and send a polite, factual letter.
Send it to the newspaper and many local officials.

They can blow off a conversation.
After that letter, the fur will fly.

[Mark_88]

I was going to do that...the local papers don't carry too much negative information on the police department so I'm not sure how far that will go...but thanks for reminding me...

My experience in the past with newspapers can, however, be summed up in a reply I received from the former Editor in Cheif of the Toronto Sun: "We buy ink by the barrel, and we always have the last word"...

That, in a nutshell, explains everything...

Ya, but you're talking about someone who is blind and brain damaged.

What about groups that watch out for people with disabilities?

[Crazythingsido2]

punch him in the dick

[shadetree]

TV loves this kind of story. If you let it die, it will just keep going, and happen to someone else, or maybe your nephew again.. If the cops are out of line, it needs to be addressed.:)shady

Good point. My nephew just happens to have been talking to a person from the Mental Health Association of Canada that was doing work at the street center. They they have offered to go to bat for him. They really do like him there!

punch him in the dick

:icon_rofl: I have considered that option...I was going to confront him directly and offer to go a round with him at the police gym...if he wins, I will drop all attempts myself...if I win...he resigns from the force and leaves my nephew and me alone...I have a good feeling that he would end up resigning...even though I haven't actually trained in a long time...this viagara really works...lol!

So right Shady...and I am still trying to compose a suitable letter to all parties, including my local MP...

I've heard of waking up with a horse's head in your bed. Lunchmeat on the hood though--that doesn't really send a signal for me. I need a horse head or I just dont get it.

There is so much information that seems to be missing here. I would give it a couple weeks and see if it happens again.

Thanks, I needed a laugh...

I've decided to pull the Zuke into the garage and leave the Ranger out in the cold for now...I don't like the idea that they know where I live...but I did manage to find out the PC's address online...so I might return the favour and leave something on his hood...maybe a dead squirrel...that would send a very clear message to him...

I would like to just have a good bowel movement on his front steps though...but it's too cold and windy to do that...so I can dig up the dead squirrel that I burried in the fall and toss that out for him to chew on...

Maybe someone just thinks he's full of baloney.

If you complain to the police they'll probably just put out an APD on Oscar Meyer.

Did you ask any of the neighbors if they saw a suspicious hotdog driving around the neighborhood?

U KNOW I SWEAR SOME OF YOU GUYS SHOULD GET JOBS AS STAND UP COMEDIANS :icon_rofl:

there are ways to handle a cop like that ....... first you need a couple hookers, a digital camera, a sheep and some photoshop skills..........

Yeaaam,

Funny thing though...I used to tease my nephew...told him he could open his own business...a hot dog stand downtown...and call it CNI-DOG (for those who don't know, Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) offers guide dogs to people who are totally blind...and they are referred to as See-N-Eye Dogs (CNI)...

That's partly why that image was unusually funny to me...

[Skid Vicious]

I dunno mark. It's not like you caught him in the act and while your gut feeling is that you know it's him that put the baloney there, it's quite possible it wasn't. Go with the legal route and file a complaint. Taking revenge at this point might lead you to get into unforseen trouble.

[CJREX]

Before speculating that it might be him, why not set up a USB camera attached to your PC and record for a while in case it happens again.

If you get him on video, it's over for him.

[naford]

Talk to the head officer adn tell him your nephew had a run in with the oficer and ask if the officer could have a talk with your nephew and apologies to smooth things over. If the officer had made a general mistake then there is no problem but if he is a hothead then your on record as doing the right thing. Going to the paper is king of overkill.

[Xploda]

I say we call C@#$ PUNCHER he will solve your problems with the law. Simple punch in the baby maker and he'll think twice b4 messin with you!

He's back and he's gonna punch your c#$%

I would have to agree, unless you saw the officer physically placing said lunchmeat on your hood, it could have been anyone pulling a practical joke, and it strikes you differently simply because of previous events for you.

[Mark_88]

Thanks for the input guys...

I'm pretty sure it was him...like I said, we've been at this address for almost two years without any practical jokes of this nature so I'd rule out that for now...

Unfortunately, even though I'd thought of putting up video surveilance to try to find out what kids are dumping their cans and drink containers on the lawn (the house is on the corner of a fairly busy intersection so there is plenty of foot traffic)...it's not an option right now...I don't have a USB camera that is capable of video capture and that was one thing I tested already with the camera that we do have...

It would be nice to have caught him in the act though...and I've taken to turning off all the lights in the garage and sitting in the dark hoping he'll come by...the garage and one other room face the street...the rest of the house is facing the back where there is a clear view of everything...but it's fenced in and hard to access without tripping the security lighting....

The garage has solid doors and there are no windows that I can spy from...so it's a bit difficult until I can come up with some other plan like roof mounted cameras...

I might keep the camera handy and try to take a shot of him if he decides to push it (and my suspicion was that it would be within a few days if he is a hothead...a bit longer if he is cunning)...when I file the complaint (I have up to one year) I will prepare prior to that for video capture...

Otherwise, yes, I will play the waiting game and do everything above board...but I can't guarantee that I won't resort to some other tactics if the need arises...

I hate people who think they are above the law and use cowardly acts like that...so I'd be really happy to get a shot at him...but would settle for the police to drop the charges and have him put on another beat...

now thats just good. i gotta talk to my law teacher about that one. he might just find it interesting.

[Ranger4Rob]

Wow I just read this thread for the first time, stuff like this definately needs to get adressed!!!!!!!!!

[Mark_88]

Yes...still working on the details...have to get a 'variance' on my nephews' restrictions first...they pretty much cut him out of his daily routine so he's home quite a bit now...and that is very disturbing to me...and upsetting to him...so first things first...

I've still got the baloney in the fridge...want to find out if someone can lift prints from it...

My sister was talking to the PC's supervisor and she was told that the city of Barrie wants to 'clean up' the downtown area and remove anyone that isn't pretty or special...that's a human interest story right there...
