Sorry you had a crappy afternoon.

Next time you see the guy that was trying to get the cops to arrest you he needs to hear a piece of your mind.
Feel free to walk in our shoes and see who overracts! I love how the deputy was called to the scene, but yet he is the bad guy here. He didn't just pick this piece of property to drive to, get out, and wait for TWO armed subjuects. He was called there and has TWO guys with guns. Yes, they were hunting, but how does he know that????

4 points of view:

From sheriff's standpoint:
2 armed subjects + unknown vehicle + NIGHT time = I would be a little more 'edgy' in the sheriff's shoes. No written permission, they tried to call landowner and no answer, so they were just following procedure

From MarshRats standpoint:
Didn't really do anything wrong or at least anything he hasn't done in the past, the unknown vehicle is what prompted this. Probably should have had written permission OR if his buddy would have answered the phone 1st time it would have been cleared up quickly

From W's standpoint:
Doesn't matter, the weirs are open so don't care bout nothing else

From MathGeek's standpoint:
This is clearly a violation of Amendment X,Y,or Z and the sheriff's department should be sued and held accountable for harassment and badges should be taken away from them. They should be tarred and feathered publicly as this is clearly an example of DRACONIAN SANCTIONS!

He didn't do anything wrong at all. Give me a break. This is nothing more than another case of over zealous law enforcement.

I have nothing but respect for law enforcement and agree that being on guard is always the safest bet.

However, I have always been taught not to point a weapon at something that you didn't want to shoot. A gun can malfunction or a loud noise could have startled the officer and then this thread would have never been started.

I don't fault the officer for being ready and even having his weapon drawn. But pointing a weapon (empty or loaded) at a person who is not being aggresive in the least bit is not right.
