I was positive it was our buddy in the St. Louis warzone.  Why would you not think it was him?


Naming the person who I think it was would probably put me way to close to the CoC, and/or get this thread locked. Suffice to say, I don't think it was IFRconditions. I could be wrong, though.


Whoever it was, I will bet they will never be man enough to admit to it here.


I believe there is a screen shot with his user name towards the top of page 86?

Agreed. I don't mind somebody having the opinion that someone would be better off dead, but to actually make a death threat? Way too fucking far. Arrest his ass.

4) Granted I'm not a cop (and never have been), but cops in general shouldn't be intimidated by non-leos with cameras. If you're an honest, ethical and professional individual then you don't have anything to really worry about. If someone challenges a traffic stop then, if you do your job correctly, the videos (both leo and non-leo videos alike) should be able to aid your case even in the face of cross-examination in a court room somewhere. if you have something to hide during a stop then I would take that as a gigantic warning sign. Videos don't lie so why hide if you're an honest individual? I'm not arguing that cameras should be everywhere and that we should always have "big brother" watching us. However, during a traffic stop, cameras shouldn't pose a problem and, again, this applies to both leo and non-leo cameras.


Hey, you better get with the program, man. You should know by now how this works. Videotaping citizens going about their personal business anytime and anywhere, and keeping those videos in a private, LEO-only database for cross-referencing forever and ever is just fine (unless of course they show something damaging to the Government, in which case they will be conveniently "lost"), and you shouldn't be worried about it unless you have something to hide. But any videotape of LEOs or other Government officials doing anything by private citizens is terrorism, fascism, communism, and any other -ism we can think of, and anyone known to do such things will be shot on sight.

I find it ironic he chose the name IFRconditions.  I guess he needs lots of little dials and instruments to see whats going on around him as he obviously can't see whats right in front of him, which would be VFRconditions  Wonder if he flys an Apache around the war torn streets of St. Louisstan

This story just keeps getting better and better.

Darrow might have killed more than one bad cop with that video's fallout.

1.  Sgt. Jerk.
2.  The fondling chief.
3.  Somebody, possibly a cop, threatening to kill Darrow if he found him.
4.  Other cops threatening to harass Darrow.

This kid might be living large thanks to St. Louis area law enforcement agencies at the rate they are going down there.

But this is getting impossible to ignore. I hope the whole St.Louis PD is investigated. Essentially issueing a fatwa against a civilian who's broken no laws among the myriad of other related issues certainly justifies such an effort IMO.

I've been to countries where the police are entirely corrupt and untrusted. It isn't pretty. Any steps needed to keep corrupt cops out of work are steps well worth taking.

An honest man can not be baited, bribed or bought. Nothing to worry about if you're a cop in good standing. For those that aren't good cops, fuck'em.....give them the horns.

Death threat against Brett Darrow

Missouri: Cop Website Contained Apparent Death Threat Against Video Vigilante
Unofficial website popular with Saint Louis, Missouri police contained a death threat
against Brett Darrow three months before his recent encounter.

When stopped by an out-of-control St. George, Missouri police officer last Friday, motorist
Brett Darrow feared for his life (view story and video). It turns out, he had legitimate
reason for concern. Three months ago, participants in an online forum frequented by
Saint Louis law enforcement personnel threatened to harass -- and even physically harm
-- Darrow.

The messages appeared on St. Louis CopTalk, a site that describes itself as a site "for
the use of law enforcement officers employed by the St. Louis Police Department and
their supporters in the St. Louis Metropolitan area." While it has no official ties to the city,
it does allow officers to log into official police email accounts from the front page. In June
of this year, Darrow had sparked outrage among the forum's members after he
videotaped a disputed traffic stop involving what Darrow argued was a perfectly legal turn
and what a Saint Louis police officer said was not.

In the course of researching the incident, TheNewspaper learned from an inside source
about a CopTalk posting dated June 29, 2007. A user calling himself "STL_FINEST" wrote
the following item, presented unedited and in full:

in reply to "Who is this terd?"
I hope this little POS punk bastard tries his little video stunt with me when I pull him over
alone- and I WILL pull him over - because I will see "his gun" and place a hunk of hot
lead right where it belongs.


We verified the existence of the post which, until some time around July, was publicly
available here. It has been deleted. Because the CopTalk forum allows anonymous
posting, only the site's administrator has the ability to confirm the identity of a poster or
his status as a law enforcement official. When contacted by TheNewspaper this week, the
forum owner had no comment beyond, "Sorry, the posting log I have access to only
contains the most recent 300 messages, and that particular message cycled off some
time ago."

Still, participants did not disavow the posting. Instead, another added, "I'm going to his
house to check for parking violations." We informed Darrow of the existence of the
messages, but withheld publication not wishing to interfere with an expected investigation
into officers' behavior at the well-publicized traffic stops. To our knowledge, no such
investigation was ever made.

CopTalk now bans discussion of Darrow's videos. A message dated September 10 reads:
"We are already very much aware of Mr. Darrow and his antics. There is no need to post
any of his award-winning videography here." Still, discussions of last Friday's St. George
traffic stop made their way onto the site for a few hours before being removed by the
administrator. One poster expressed contempt for Darrow:

"Other than CYA and a heads up why do we give this [expletive] any thought? He lives for
this type of [expletive]."

Another CopTalk user referred to a discussion on the online forum AR-15.com by saying:

"I have a discussion going on another board where someone is basicly [sic] calling me a
liar. The retards have even invited Brett to join to tell his side of what he does."

(I bet I can guess which AR15 poster this is)

The firearms enthusiast forum began discussing Darrow's video on September 10. At least
one other message from a self-identified Saint Louis area police officer appears to
condone official harassment of the twenty-year-old motorist.

"Take the kid to jail... today... tommorrow... the next day... everytime you see him out
and he commits a traffic violation... tow his car and take him to jail... period. No arguing,
no yelling.....nothing but the sound of cash leaving his wallet from impound fees and
fines."
(view thread, view saved image of full post)

Unlike the CopTalk forum, however, neither this user nor any others in a sampling we
made of the nearly 2000 messages posted on the AR-15.com message thread supported
the actions of St. George Police Sergeant James Kuehnlein. A number immediately
condemned the self-identified officer's remarks.

The evidence shows that law enforcement problems extend far beyond the tiny
geographic boundaries of 1300 resident city and that Darrow's video may have
wide-reaching effects. The young driver's encounters with Saint Louis area police began in
March 2005 when an intoxicated, off-duty police officer threatened to kill him. Darrow
escaped only to find himself arrested hours later. The city agreed to drop all charges
against him on the condition that he waive his right to sue over the incident. The following
year, a Saint Louis officer at a DUI roadblock said he would, "find a reason to lock you up
tonight" (view video and story). This is in addition to Sergeant Kuehnlein's videotaped
threat that, "we will ruin your career and life and everything else you have coming before
you."

The videotape from Kuehnlein's police cruiser is currently missing and the sergeant is
currently on unpaid leave. St. George Police Chief Scott Uhrig is also being investigated by
city officials who say he may have failed to inform them that the State of Missouri
Administrative Hearing Commission concluded that, "Uhrig's unwelcome sexual advances
to a teenager, while on duty and under the guise of enforcing the laws, indicate an
especially egregious mental state, show that he cannot enforce the law, and are cause for
discipline."


Brett himself has posted on that very forum.  It is an open forum, no membership required.  The current hot topic is a no confidence vote against the St. Louis City police chief.

In regards to the blue- that cop needs to be found.... he's one who needs to be off the streets too.  He should not be able to get away with such illegal threats.


And in regards to the green, that is NOT condoning harrassment.  RIF.  It says when you're out and about, as an officer of the law, if you see the kid breaking the law, you just don't let him off.  And in fact it says to NOT do what the officer in the video did- no yelling, no arguing, just do your job.  

Every time an officer pulls someone over who is speeding, and lets them off with a warning, it's the officer exercising his or her judgement and discretion.  This kid has gotten enough 'warnings.'  If he breaks the law from here on out, he gets the full punishment.  End of story.  I don't see anywhere in that post where is says to hunt the kid down, follow him around day and night, and try to catch him, OR where it says to make something up about him.  The article is spinning that post to fit its needs, and it is wrong.

I"ve seen police unions protect good cops, but the sad thing is I've seen them try to protect cops that have done worse that Sgt. Badass on the vid.


And with video that was just as, or more, damning. Numerous times. At that point, it's not individual cops, it's politics.


If we are going to go on Bama's premise that the police are a reflection of the community, then I think we can safely say the police union is a reflection of its members.


Do you disagree?


Not for the most part. I think there are some exceptions, but as a general rule, I would agree.

What I was pointing out that if the police don't like the fact the unions help keep bad cops they CAN change things.

two issues at work here..
first

 its been proven that the cops will pull him over and MAKE UP charges..   then punish him on the fake charges.. im 100% sure thath what that cop meant ..  


I don't see anywhere in that post where is says to hunt the kid down, follow him around day and night, and try to catch him, OR where it says to make something up about him. thats what happens here and the reason we are here right now..    The article is spinning that post to fit its needs, and it is wrong.

and no one said when stoped he gets a "warning" ... he gets a full fledged pocket empting ticket.

but the offier IFRconditions wants to go and ALSO tow his car so he can pay impond fees...    NOT for the public good but so the kid can stop exposing them and teaching him a lesson ..

I don't think it was IFRconditions, and I'm pretty sure I'm who the person was complaining about.


Nope, wasn't me.  You and I worked out our little disagreement.


In that case, I apologize.


No problem.  No harm no foul.  I took offense originally at something that you really didn't direct at me.  I am sorry I got a little nasty then.

And in regards to the green, that is NOT condoning harrassment.  RIF.  It says when you're out and about, as an officer of the law, if you see the kid breaking the law, you just don't let him off.


Right. It means jail someone and impound his car because of failure to use turn signal. If the law in Missouri allows that, the law in Missouri sucks.

When you use your badge to work out your personal vendettas, you don't deserve a badge, you deserve to be looking out at the world through bars.

Two things

1) We don't have any real unions in Missouri for LE.  LE and Fire departments have no collective bargaining rights.  There are Police Associations and the national FOP.  In short, they don't have much power to influence the department leadership or their members.

2)  I don't know if I would truly want real unions due to my experience with the Teamsters years ago.  They did their best to keep some of the most useless people employed.  I know it is their job, but they made it very hard for management to get rid of the dead weight that we had to pick up the slack for.

I think its been established that in MO you can arrest and by default tow the car < and inventory it>

this cop wants to use that power to fuck with this kid but not the guy he stoped before or the guy he stops after the guy..    he made it clear why he wants to do that .  


i called that retaliation a few pages back...

somecops defended that action.. saying it was well within the officers rights..

even if he only towed the kids car and no one elses..

I wonder how long it will be before the police union starts lobbying the state legislature to change the law regarding the recording of conversations to require the consent of both individuals.

When I worked the civilian side, we only towed cars of people we arrested if it was going to be processed for evidence(think CSI for you TV watchers), would be hazard if left at the scene, contained valuable electronics(stereo system) or other property(had to make sure it was noted on tow slip so it wouldn't walk off at the tow yard) that could be stolen at the scene(I worked the hood) or if the vehicle itself was used during the commission of a crime(non-traffic crime).

How can anyone say that the kid did ANYTHING wrong?  First of all, he's not a vigilante.  He merely allowed a cop to act like an asshole and taped it.  It's ALL on the cop.  I'm glad that the cop is in trouble, and it's all due to the kid and his camera.

Now, if the kid had made threatening gestures or something, trying to get the cop to act up, that would be wrong.  But the kid never did that, and furthermore, there is NO excuse for a cop to threaten to make up charges and send someone to jail for no reason.

The kid did good, and I hope he continues to expose bad cops.

Wow, I missed a lot but this page

www.thenewspaper.com/news/19/1967.asp

with the following quote from UFRconditions:

www.thenewspaper.com/rlc/pix/ifrpost.jpg

Sure started out right but it would seem that someone in law enforcement would be bright enough to shut the hell up before you go so far as to indicate how you can stalk and harrass a civilian that you don't like.  

Sure, you can do it but stupid could really hurt if somone identifies this fool and he loses his job for posting something like this...  

Then again, if this is SOP, perhaps that is not such a bad thing in an officer is out of a job?  Stupid hurts sometimes!

Show me in that post where it says to jail and impound his car because of failure to use the turn signal.

Look, I haven't read every page in this thread- nor have I read all of this particular poster's posts (IFRsomethingorother), but as an average person, reading THAT POST, it does NOT condone harrassment like the newspaper article is spinning it.

And yes, I'm sure there are A LOT of personal hard feelings between everyone in that little town, but that's human nature.  That post did not condone or suggest anything illegal.  The laws are the laws.  There are various ranges for punishments, and it sounds like this kid has been pulled over so many times that he's used up any chances he's had for getting the lower punishments. ***

There's a simple solution for the kid-- DON'T EVER BREAK THE LAW.  THAT is the issue behind this post.

Don't read into his post- he did NOT say to make something up-- obviously it's something that officer video does/has done, but this guy (the poster here on Arfcom) did NOT suggest or condone it.  It's very disingenous for anyone here to suggest that he did (at least in that post- like I said, I have not read all of his postings).


*** Just so you know..... I read a quick post from Bama that insinuated that this town is a 'speed trap' town, and I can't stand that either.  That's a whole different discussion though.






on a side note..... is IFR... even around anymore?  I wonder if he's a troll acct for someone else here.....

So, if LE targets one specific person or sub set of persons, those who decide to exercise their rights by recording their conversations with police, would there not be an equal protection argument?

That is, unless they start arresting everyone for traffic tickets, I think they've got problems.
