Draconia Tactics at The Aurora Mall

[Reenster]

I have emailed the owner of the Aurora Mall Towne Center. I am curious if they support this type of management. Some rules and laws are unjust and civil disobedience is one way to draw attention to them. That is what 420 celebrations are about, hell that was what the original tea party was about.

Been very busy this morning, I have also contacted SAFER to ask in their help with a boycot of the mall, I have also emailed an attorney that has history in being interested in these things, and I have a voice mail into the manager of the Aurora Towne Center Mall.

Hopefully I covered all the bases.

Have you given any thought to contacting the Chief of Police of Aurora..
he should know that his officers violated your cival rights on the clothing you choose to wear....also a letter to the editor of the Denver Post could not hurt either.

[Reenster]

Thanks Denver both great ideas. I played with the thought of contacting the police but I wish to speak to an attorney first.

Sent an email to a local TV station (Not 9news haha)as well. With the public announcement that Aurora is putting up the idea of banning dispensaries to a vote in November makes this even more political.

Wish I could figure out how to make a living in Nederland, maybe when we retire in 6 or so years. I really love my Aurora neighborhood. Lots of wonderful working class people here, but the city politics SUCKS!!

Direct confrontation with the police isn't going to help though.

I completely agree with highpop, make your life easier and don't argue with cops. Agree with them, apologize, and save yourself a lot of hassle and a lot of money. I don't have time to argue or try to prove myself right, especially when dealing with cops... Cops are tools for the most part and aren't interested in anything you have to say, unless it's to incriminate yourself. The less said the better.

I never said directly confront the cops....my point is this is all reactionary. Of course you should keep a cool head and think when you ARE dealing with cops, my point is we need to start aggressively addressing the root problem that lead to such guidelines in the first place. Assuming, you make an ass of u and ming.

Call the mall and its retailers! Tell them you are no longer going to bring your money to them because the mall has caused more than it's share of drama.

When you talk to the retailers...be nice...they didn't do it. They just need to know their business will suffer, yet, again because of the crap Simon pulls.

This is the malls website and their phone number is...(303) 344-4120

Lets stand against them as we would anyone who screws with our rights. (Like Matt Brown/Josh Stanley)

LOL Just a afterthought...

We should have Miguel organize a picket outside the mall with everyone wearing "Yes We Cannabis" shirts on. Oooo wouldn't that just piss em off!

I just talked to Miguel and he is VERY intrested in it. He says he wants to track it down though the APD. Have Jake email me at my business email and I'll make the connection. [email protected]

Maybe contact the owners of the mall?!?! I bet they don't even know about this and how it was handled.
just a thought

The Aurora Mall has, longtime, been known for starting drama. This isn't their first time. They have offended MANY different groups of people. I can remember going down to a protest because they were disciminating against black, male, youths. I'm sure Simon Property Group is well aware of how their mall operates and encourages this.

It's our turn now. We must tell them we will not tolorate this type of behaviour!

I would have acted differently as soon as the first police officer arrived. The only words that would have come out of my mouth are: "I do not consent to this search." "Am I free to go?" and "On the advice of counsel, I decline to answer." The Fifth Amendment is there to protect the innocent, not only the guilty; it was a tactically stupid decision to waive it by speaking voluntarily. I haven't much doubt that if Jake does try to bring suit, or if the police decide to file charges, the result will be a poor one for Jake because he talked too much already. Whether you are innocent or guilty, it is always unwise to talk to the police, even if you feel yourself to be innocent or if you feel your rights have been violated. Rob Corry or Brian Vicente or any criminal defense attorney will tell you exactly the same thing.

you bring up a search... No marijuana was involved in this.. No basis for stopping me in the first place. I was harassed and I dont think me pointing that out will affect the outcome of this. I was detained but no charges were pressed and I walked away with a one year ban from the aurora TOWN CENTER for wearing a "YES WE CANNABIS" shirt.... Thats really all their is to it. The fact that I was harassed by police is going to be my word vs theirs unless the video has audio.
