Draconia Tactics at The Aurora Mall

[lampost]

"Colorado: A city's financial support of a shopping mall, including its operation of a police substation inside the mall, combined with the range of activities permitted in the mall, made it a latter-day public forum sufficient to trigger the Colorado Constitution's free-speech clause, according to the state's highest court. This clause prevented the owners of the mall from excluding citizens involved in nonviolent political speech. (Bock v. Westminster Mall Co.)"

Thats all I needed to see...... I am going to contact a lawyer first thing in the morning (monday).

thanks for that link telephone

Thank you for fighting this! Make that cop think twice about being such a douche!
That guy sounds like scum of the earth to me! He obviously is one of those guys who hides behind his badge as he had to resort to threats when he realized he couldn't hang in an argument with you..... sad guy for sure!!

Good luck! Let us know what happens... I'm glad you weren't arrested for this and it was very cool that you stood up for your rights as you did!

Contact more than one lawyer to make sure you're not getting bullshit advice. See if it would be a good idea to get a few or a bunch of us down there so we can get banned as well! I don't give a shit if I get banned, I'll never shop there strictly because of this! Like I said, I can supply the tshirts(not out of pocket ofcourse) and I could have mine made with some extra wording to the effects of I made the T's, maybe they'd give me special treatment for it. I'm down to make some money on a lawsuit, maybe this could help fund the fight in court against hb1284. I'd donate half of my settlement and I bet some other patients wouldn't mind letting go some of theirs.

Here's some guidelines for interacting with the cops.

Think carefully about your words, movement, body language, and emotions.
Don't get into an argument with the police.
Remember, anything you say or do can be used against you.
Keep your hands where the police can see them.
Don't run. Don't touch any police officer.
Don't resist even if you believe you are innocent.
Don't complain on the scene or tell the police they're wrong or that you're going to file a complaint.
Do not make any statements regarding the incident.
Ask for a lawyer immediately upon your arrest.
Remember officers' badge & patrol car numbers.
Write down everything you remember ASAP.
Try to find witnesses and their names and phone numbers.
If you are injured, take photographs of the injuries as soon as possible, but make sure you seek medical attention first.

That's my boy :thumbsup: Jake's girl friend tried to tell one of the cops that Jake was an activist, that he felt strongly about this and that this would not be the end of it.

Thanks for the support, I have been wearing cannabis logo type items for 40 years here and there, never have I heard such a thing. Today at the local Dairy Queen I saw a dad come in with a softball uniform on. The sponser of the team was a medical marijuana dispensary. That seems really main stream to me. Wonder if the mall would have banned him and his two kids?

I'm not a slave. I'm an adult. That language is taken verbatim from the ACLU bust card in my wallet. Millions of other Americans carry the same one. You call it brown nosing; I call it knowing and aggressively protecting my rights.

Yep, thanks for the advice once again highpop....:jointsmile:


I know you and the ACLU have the best intentions highpop, but we shouldn't need guidelines for dealing with our employees that carefully. Let's stop promoting the "sheeple" mindset.


Stoneyjake, please keep us updated. I will be writing a letter letting the Aurora Mall know I will be organizing as many people as I can to boycott them as well, in a show of support.

You know little of the ACLU if you think they are promoting a "sheeple" mindset regarding civil liberties and police misconduct. That is laughable.

No, no, my point is that little tidbit of info is great but it's like treating the symptoms instead of the disease itself. You posted something someone else thought up, awesome, now what are you gonna DO about this rising police state culture?
