Re: Detained by law enforcement

After considering it I think I am going to file a formal complaint with the Sheriff's Department tomorrow.

I don't really expect it to go anywhere, because this is a podunk little town in a podunk little county, but I'm the sort of person who has a strong anti-authoritarian streak and I don't consider what happened to be fair or correct, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing about it.

Heck, I almost pursued a career as a police officer back when I lived in the UK, and I studied aspects of criminal justice at university (I have a degree in politics and contemporary governance), so this isn't exactly a subject I know absolutely nothing about.

If you live in the town, I would suggest that you contact the mayor, describe what happened, and explain how you have the right to walk down the street without being stopped by the police for no reason. Ask him to contact the Sheriffs department to express your concerns about the rights of his citizens.

Filing a formal complaint is not a good idea.
