Andre Stockett was stopped by Sandusky police officer Christopher Denny, who said he believed Stockett to be another person, a suspect with outstanding felony warrants. At first the officer claimed he stopped Stockett and his girlfriend, Kathryn Said, because the license plate number indicated her drivers license was expired. When she produced a valid license, the cop changed the story, suggesting that the couple were driving without headlights at dusk. Then the officer began referring to Stockett as Mr Newell. Thats not me
Thats every black man. Stockett protested, maintaining that he did not have to identify himself because there was no probable cause for detainment. When Denny ordered Stockett to step out of the car, he refused saying I fear for my life. The officer then called for a K-9 unit to search outside the car, and claimed a dog had alerted him to the presence of drugs, prompting Stockett to react by saying the officer is full of sh*t. Officer Denny then told the couple that their children would go to Childrens Services if they continued to obstruct a police investigation, and that his probable cause was their nervousness. This baby is not about to be taken from me, Said told the officer. Eventually, fearing for their childs well being, the couple stepped out of the car and were arrested on obstruction charges. Speaking to the Sandusky Register, the Sandusky police chief claimed that the mention of Childrens Services was not a threat, adding that he would rather it not be taken as a threat. The couples attorney, however, stated that it was problematic that the officer suggestd he would take away children in order to further the interest of the drug task force. The attorney also questioned the officers claim of probable cause. To establish probable cause, (police) say, Oh, the persons nervous, said attorney Geoff Oglesby. It appears now this is a script. Speaking to reporters, after his release, Stockett said It was so unprofessional. I tried to compose myself as long as I could
My girl takes the baby out of the car, and they search the car seat. Im sitting in a police car, and I cant do nothing about that. Hes two weeks old. The couple plan to take the case to trial. - Steve Watson is a London based writer and editor for Alex Jones Infowars.com, andPrisonplanet.com.

The lying cop is absolutely right. That a cop is always right is the new standard in the USSA. Therefore, the man should be fined $10,000 and jailed for 6 months because he failed to show proper obedience and respect to the cop. In the USSA, a citizen does not have the right to question any action by a cop.
