The latest example of immunity/exemption needing to be abolished

Another one of those things thar should qualify for the death penalty.

And another out of Arkansas.

I understand the not resisting unlawful arrest, but only of that comes with harsh criminal and civil penalties for the officers who choose to commit them. Treat it as kidnapping and shuffle them off to a lengthy prison sentence.

An example of irony and another example of why it needs to go away.

Well said, and IIRC you’re an LEO correct? Says something that a cop would have that take on the FBI/Feds in general. I’ve heard from various sources that trying to work with them as a cop is rather annoying, as they are arrogant as hell and condescending. And not answering their questions period is a good way to avoid the “lying to a Federal agent” BS. No other evidence to bring a charge? Well, we tripped you up and now you’ve lied to a Federal [KGB] agent.

A couple thoughts. I was a certified LEO to be a medic on a tactical team, we were involved with Los Federales on several joint events. The ATF, fine. The DEA, fine. Secret Service? Loved working with them, they were cool. The FBI? Fuhgettaboutit.

I have a good friend who retired from the FBI (he was a medic with me on the tactical team, decided to stay LE, joined the FBI). Is is, was, very cool, and very sensible. But he would tell tales about fellow agents who would arrest people for “lying to a federal agent” during an interview if they simply got mixed up or had a brain fart; i.e., “we did ‘X’ on January 5th”, when it was actually January 6th. “Ah, OK, yeah, I just couldn’t remember, that was 2 years ago.” That would be followed by being arrested/charged for lying to a federal agent. He wouldn’t do that, always said you had to apply critical thinking to the situation…was it really a lie? Or were they confused, mixed up? Etc.

But it is fine for them to lie.
