My wife and I were sitting at a bus stop this morning, whena Newark police officer approached us, askedme to stand up, put my hands up, and turn around. He then attempted to disarm me, without any luck. By then, three other officers have arrived, I'm being handcuffed by one (without them reading me my rights), and another is violently pulling on my gun trying to get it out of the holster, when there is a release button right on the side of it. By now, I'm in fear for my life and my safety, because I feel as though, if he keeps pulling on the gun, my holster will break, my pants will rip, or, the gun may accidently go off in my leg or foot! :banghead:After they put me in the car and take me to the police station, they left me sitting there while they decided what to do with me. They ended up taking my gun into evidence and detained me in a cell. Then, they figured out that the Newark City Ordinance stated that one, cannot carry, wear under his/her clothes, or conceal a weapon. And because they couldn't charge me with anything, they decided to let me go, with a promise to call me if they decide to charge me with a crime. I've tried to locate a lawyer in my area that would help me sue them, but I am unable to find a lawyer that will prosecute against them. Does anyone have an idea of where I can find such a lawyer?
And for your own sake, leave your gun in the car when you go to walk through Newark!! :what:
