The Brett Darrow Case
Brett Darrow is a 20 year old from St. George Missouri, who decided to mount a video camera in his car after getting some traffic tickets. Watch the bizzare series of events that unfolds in September 2007 when Brett politely invokes his God given rights to privacy and Constitutional protections. Sgt. James Kuehnlein became outraged and began screaming like a lunatic, berating and threatening Darrow, saying he would find '9 different charges' to lock him up on. Darrow later posted the video online where it got international attention, and Sgt. Kuehnlein was promptly fired. Darrow had an eerily similar incident happen to him in December 2006, when he politely invoked his rights and told a cop at a checkpoint that he did not want to discuss his personal life. Both these are must-see videos. Kudos to Brett Darrow for standing up for his unalienable rights and privacy. We can all learn from him.
I am quite familiar with this, having lived in St. Louis. Darrow is not from St. George, which is a subdivision that should be decertified. He sets cops up, which is a good thing, and caught a bad one who worked for St. George and got him fired. Later, the mayor of St. George was arrested, I think for having child porn on his computer. The whole place is a speed trap and a joke. Even the people who live in it laugh at their police.
I remember this topic was posted on Freerepublic, after the first incident in 2006 at the checkpoint. Most of the people there were bashing him and he actually joined the site to debate with them, it was great. He's smarter than 95% of them. A few posters saw his point though, and commended him for standing up for himself,.
it was reported at the time that he was considering filing a lawsuit of the 2006 incident. do you know if he ever did?
