Not!
Public harassment is more like it, Officer!
Today, with evidence in hand, I have determined that the Nevada Highway Patrol - and Officer Del Padre (Badge # 691) in particular - harass out-of-state motorists, Violate their rights, and willfully and wrongfully ignore State & Federal Laws.
For example, a resident from another state was pulled over by Officer Del Padre, in spite of the fact there was a dealer plate on the reverse of the car and a registration affixed to the front windshield as required by law.
Until the issue of "new plates" and "registration" are resolved with the originating State's DMV, this is acceptable legal practice across the country.
When the motorist was chased down, and pulled over - resulting in considerable stress and anxiety to the hapless driver in the interim - the Officer strode up to the car and demanded the registration.
Obviously, the Officer was blind as a bat!
He failed to notice the registration (or chose not to?) in the front window - hence - the illegal pull-over in Violation of the motorists rights and applicable State & Federal Laws.
In addition, officer Del Padre engaged in some suspicious bizarre behaviour.
When the motorist pointed out that the registration was in the front window - instead of reading the information from that location - he barked at the driver to remove the paperwork (which was taped by the car dealership to the inside of the windshield at date of purchase pending registraton) or else he would tear it off himself.
Why was he so testy?
The motorist proceeded to remove the registration at the Officer's direction (which was highly improper under the circumstances).
I surmise that the officer in question realized he made a boo-boo and was maneuvering to rid the vehicle of the legal pending registration notice in the window so he could be held blameless.
The truth of the matter is, the Nevada Highway Patrol Officer disobeyed the law, harassed the motorist - and in the process - violated his rights.
In spite of the fact the tourist provided documentation from the DMV - one piece of correspondence from the headquarters of the DMV in Sacramento clarifying the issues - the Officer proceeded to call a tow truck to haul the vehicle to an impound.
Leaving a handicapped motorist on medications on the side of the highway without their vehicle to return home in is not only - shocking disgusting conduct unbefitting a Law Enforcement Officer - but a heinous violation of citizen and motorists rights that cries out for justice.
On behalf of the victim, I hereby urge the Nevada State Patrol to release the vehicle - in view of the paperwork presented the officer in question earlier in the day - issue an apology - and proceed with disciplinary action against Nevada Patrol Officer Del Padre (Badge # 691).
I intend to file a former complaint on the individual's behalf with the Governor, the State Attorney General, and the Department of Justice.
I trust my readers (and others stumbling on this post) will agree with my conclusion that such an Officer is not fit (mentally, morally, or emotionally) to serve his city, state, or country.
