Quote History Quoted:
His silencer was carried in a case, and the paper work inside the case. How did the cops know he had a silencer in the case?
The "case" was a homemade kydex case that was formed to fit tightly around an AR-15 with a suppressor attached to the muzzle. From a distance, it looked like an AR-15 with a suppressor attached, instead of a tight fitting case wrapped around an AR-15 with a suppressor attached.
The cops were trying to determine if he was carrying a loaded rifle (which is illegal to do, where he was doing it). He refused to answer their questions, when they asked if the rifle was loaded, so they opened the case to determine if the rifle was loaded. Once open, they saw the suppressor and asked about the NFA paperwork, and he again refused to answer their questions.
This was shown in the video Embody posted to the internet (video he recorded of the incident), shortly after his arrest.
I watched the videos and he didn't tell them.
He refused to tell them anything.
As I showed no law says that the papers have to be shown to the cops.
But you showed that it was a prohibited weapon. Once the cops knew he had it, they knew he was in possession of a prohibited weapon. They had grounds to arrest him.
In searching Embody the cops found the ownership papers.
He says the cops and prosecutors have the papers. I listened to the court recording and the cop admits to having found the papers. If that is true, why is he still charged?
Do you understand "defense to prosecution"? It does not mean "I get out of jail free, you can't touch me". It does mean a decent defense lawyer can easily win your case.
But Embody has a history of representing himself, and doing it poorly...
Embody has a history of making posts in legal advice forums, asking questions such as how to file a lawsuit that will guarantee a cop gets fired, or how to win an award for violation of his rights. Asking how to get charges dropped, would not be a step toward his goal, since dropped charges would lessen the claimed suffering for violation of his rights.
I heard of the case on the internet and have followed it. I set up a google alert to email me when anything with his name shows up.
Maybe you should dig a little more into his history.
He is not a "gun rights advocate", and he made that completely clear in his statements on the Tennessean's website, after his first exposure in the local news.
