Quote HistoryQuoted: Obviously. I'm not talking about violations on the part of the employer. There is no other one involved than the employee. Employer/employee interviews are just that. I think you are reading to far into what I said. The .gov can't violate the rights of the person when they are not involved and neither party is acting as an agent of. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: When you ship a lot of items, it isn't your thought process that you need to get a receipt. You're assuming that sooner or later the item will get scanned because every other time, the item gets scanned at the facility or by the processor when they get a moment. Even if neither the guy at the UPS store nor the driver scans the item, the item will get scanned at the facility. 99.99% of the time, this really isn't a big deal. I've done that a million times and you don't know until you know, that stupid shit does occasionally happen. It may be months/weeks later but even then the item will show up in some conveyor belt. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: He fucked up and dropped it off at FedEx when it was labeled for UPS. There would be no scan in this situation. The guy should've paid more attention to what he was doing, dropped it off at the right place, and gotten a receipt for the drop-off. The point is he didn't steal it. It kind of seems like he was set up due to the fact that it was supposedly missing for two weeks and then miraculously shows up minutes after GBRS has him arrested.

Quote HistoryQuoted: They should. But remember this is GD where you never talk to the cops  They should have interviewed him WAY before handcuffs. This is a guy that probably has a clean background and is somewhat normal. It should have been an interview LONG before cuffs go on. But, this goes back to the GD theory of never talk to the police no matter what. Everyone should get burned in this but it is the business that has the real culpability in it. They should have already done their internal investigation about it and not relied solely on LE to come save the day. The employee interview can be used by LE for the criminal case and there is no worries about rights violations. Could the guy have been any more cooperative and understanding with the cops? Even after them royally fucking up, he doesn't even blame them for fucking up... |

He's a slimeball, which is unfortunate. That's not the type of man we need serving our communities. Guess he fits in with the GBRS slogan of "loyalty over integrity". Don't do the right thing when you and your buddies fuck up, just do everything you can to protect them instead of whatever you can to accept responsibility and make it right.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Easily an arrest. The business is the one that claimed the theft. They are the ones offering the evidence of the theft and witnesses to it. It is on the business for the arrest. They offered the crime, evidence, and the story to support it. I also question the stolen item returning so quickly. It just doesn't make sense. Something is seriously off with it and it looks more like they are trying to save face and fix their screw-up. Cops will be viewed as acting in good faith in regards to investigating the theft. Just think if this guy followed your advice and never said a word to try and fix his name. Just shut up and sat there pleading the 5th. The business will pay, as they should. They should also have video of that package showing up, right? I am curious as to where he went with the package. We have a UPS box I used ONCE! I went to drop an item and the line was 30 people long (during the labor negotiations). Worker said to use the box outside, so I did. My package never was scanned. So, I started the claim and redid the package. When I went back I noticed the box was sitting there. I pulled open the unlocked door and my item was still there along with a bunch of other ones. I took pics and sent them to the local area manager. I threw all the packages on the counter and told them how incompetent they were, since it was the same person that told me to drop it working the counter. I left the door wide open so no one else would drop it in there. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I had to make my video by piecing together clips the dude posted on instagram. I reached out to both sides, but nobody responded. So there's footage I did not have available. I see now that someone has now tried to call me. So maybe I can get the rest of the video/story. If it happened to come in 10 minutes later, then why was the guy held for 5 fucking hours? Was the fan girl cop really talking with his boy for 5 hours before they could release this guy? And to claim that he wasn't arrested after being hauled off in handcuffs and then returned 5 hours later.... lol That's why I put this more on the cop than the company. I don't know all the facts. But I do know the Constitution. The company isn't capable of violating this guy's 4A rights. But the cops sure as hell did. Because they're tripping over themselves to slobber all over these guys' knobs. It's also weird that all these guys look like clones of each other. They should probably pick at least one nerdy business guy to join their club, to make important decisions. eta: in full disclosure I'd probably join their club, if they'd let me. They probably need a lawyer too. Just saying... I do have a beard now. Easily an arrest. The business is the one that claimed the theft.

It shouldn't have been, which is the whole point. They admit up front they didn't have probable cause to make a warrantless arrest (which is also important, because an arrest warrant should/could be obtained prior to arresting him, which is better for everyone, for many reasons), that they were going to conduct an investigatory detention. Those are legal if supported by reasonable suspicion, which certainly existed. Those must be reasonable under the circumstances. That would have been questioning the guy for something less than 5 hours in leg shackles, I would imagine... As of the point they grabbed him, they did not have enough evidence to even obtain an arrest warrant. They were told things. They hadn't verified them and secured the evidence. Most importantly, they hadn't even bothered to question the witness. Probable cause isn't a terribly difficult standard to meet. But I don't think they met it here. Add in the footage showing this personal relationship and what was said inside, and in particular the admission they supposedly found the item 10 minutes later.... I've actually defended people charged with felony crimes, including taking cash from stores and never showing up to deposit at the bank. There's a reason most actual companies that deal with these sorts of things from time to time don't generally go full retard right from the get go and send their employee to some black site in leg shackles.

There is no LE during an employer/employee interview. Can they be present? Yes. I prefer they are done away from any LE influence at all. You don't want the agent aspect to come up. Employer/employee interviews are compulsory per the employment. Either they cooperate or they are fired for it. There is no .gov action as part of it. |

It wouldn't help in many situations to speak with the accused (hear both sides of the story) prior to going straight to an arrest?

I don't have time to argue this endlessly, but there is a big difference b/w a warrantless arrest and a warrant. A warrant presumes probable cause, the decision having been made by the judge. Now the cop can't violate the Constitution unless false misleading information was given to the judge. And the judge can't be sued of course. To sue under 1983 for a warrantless arrest simply requires proving the absence of probable cause, which is generally a jury issue. So if you're a cop, one method insulates you from liability; and the other gets you a jury trial, assuming you were wrong and someone has made an issue of it.
Likewise, a warrant arrest is much stronger in criminal prosecutions. Moreover, it requires work to have been done first, rather than just arresting first and then asking the questions. Here, all of this could have very easily been avoided. Had these same cops been called to Home Depot about a missing toilet that never arrived at its destination, they wouldn't have grabbed Joe Blow and performed an extraordinary rendition in order to impress the local store managers.... |

I’m curious what the evidence was that you claim made this an easy arrest. He leaves with the package and returns without it. (Something he presumably does daily, since in his video he claims he shipped hundreds of packages in the two weeks subsequent to the day he shipped the package in question.) The package doesn’t show it was scanned on the douchebag’s phone. No investigation beyond that and that’s enough evidence for an immediate arrest? |

And the judge can't be sued of course. To sue under 1983 for a warrantless arrest simply requires proving the absence of probable cause, which is generally a jury issue. So if you're a cop, one method insulates you from liability; and the other gets you a jury trial, assuming you were wrong and someone has made an issue of it. Likewise, a warrant arrest is much stronger in criminal prosecutions. Moreover, it requires work to have been done first, rather than just arresting first and then asking the questions. Here, all of this could have very easily been avoided. Had these same cops been called to Home Depot about a missing toilet that never arrived at its destination, they wouldn't have grabbed Joe Blow and performed an extraordinary rendition in order to impress the local store managers.... There is NO difference between a warrant arrest or a PC for criminal prosecutions. Difference is a judicial review PRIOR to the arrest. The prosecution of the case does not change at all. Judges toss warrants for lack of PC all the time and there is no different process once it comes to court time. I have NEVER seen a jury look at a PC or a warrant arrest. In fact, it rarely comes up. Never had a defense attorney say a word either. The liability insulation is a fallacy. The same evidence YOU present is there for both. If you are truthful, the insulation is already there. I argue this all the time during classes where guys will say the judge review is insulation. It is the same information either way. You are going to use the same PC for the warrant as the arrest. The difference is weeks to months of the warrant being approved and how much more crime will that person be doing. The AUSA hates our PC arrests but they just have to deal with it. The grand jury side is where it gets wishy washy and there is no real review. |

This is why it makes no sense to me that someone here called this an easy arrest. IMO, an "easy arrest" is one that's also a good arrest, not one predicated on some bullshit information provided to you by your buddy, combined with footage of the accused doing exactly what their job calls for. Judging by how this arrest ended up turning out, I would be correct in saying that this was the opposite of an easy arrest. It was a terrible arrest, and one that shouldn't have occurred, even without the benefit of hindsight. |

Agreed. It also seems like no one even considered that it may have been "stolen" by someone at FEDEX or UPS. Jumping straight to accusing the employee makes it look like they had it out for him. |

I heard from the guy. He's terrified. Imagine if your local cops and also a bunch of ex seal team 6 guys wanted to make you go away... It's like an episode of blacklist or something.
No wonder he was thanking them, etc. in the video. He was afraid and just wanted GTFO. He didn't tell me this, but probably going public was the safest thing he could have done. |

Try being humble by realizing they're the ones who fucked up, and do what they can to make it right. That would certainly be a better approach than doubling down on stupidity and blaming their employee for the situation they created and the negative attention its brought their way. |

That's hilarious over one missing lower, but more so, it's disgusting that they would try putting that out there about the guy. A guy who appears to be in his thirties, is potentially a veteran (based on who they supposedly employ), and obviously has no criminal history if he works for a company within the firearms/training industry and is legally carrying a firearm. Not sure why, but they certainly had it out for this dude. |

Why was the dude fired 2 days after the incident? You're right. The business doesn't have the authority to make that decision. Unless, of course, they're buddies with the responding officer, who just so happens to ride their nuts. Then they can make sure things go exactly the way they want them to, and even when that turns out to be a mistake, that same officer will still do whatever he can to throw the employee he arrested in bad faith under the bus, on top of wording his reports in such a way that it's favorable for the business. The decisions made by the employee and the owners of GBRS were piss-poor, and the same goes for the officers involved, especially the guy in charge. Total ineptitude all the way around. It still seems like a potential setup, IMO. The terrible arrest, the package miraculously reappearing minutes after the arrest, the fact the dude was held in cuffs and shackles for several hours even after that, the package supposedly being opened and then resealed, then hidden in the guys drawer, the response after he was brought back, etc. None of it adds up to any kind of sense. As for him being fired two days later, it seems that decision was made immediately. When the police brought him back and "unarrested" him, whatever that means, GBRS already had all his shit packed up in a box and wouldn't even let him back in the building. No apology or anything. There's gotta be way more to this story than what's known here because none of the actions taken by anyone involved make any sense, and certainly don't shine a positive light on either party (the police or the company). Not surprised the dude has received nearly $55k through his GoFundMe thing. People realize this is screwed up. |
