Looking at item 17, there is expanded detail of something mentioned in the original complaint.
I have the following thoughts:
Roy Call's citation for Obstructing Official Business was issued by the esteemed Sgt. Jones of Riverside on 8/28/12.
There evidently exists some sort of "background information" database maintained by Dayton, Ohio, into which police officers can put information - information which, if incorrect, could result in physical and legal risk/harm to an officer or citizen. There are at least two entries in this database related to Roy Call: #1) an entry dated 3/28/12, input by an unidentified party related to Roy's stop in Vandalia (in a Kroger parking lot, I believe, when an officer saw Roy OCing there), and #2) an entry dated 5/24/12 by Officer Adam Colon of Riverside.
While the court documents do not spell out what the 3/28 entry was (although it would be VERY interesting to know its contents), Colon's entry on 5/24 reads as follows: "BEWARE---LIKES TO OPEN CARRY HIS PISTOL IN PUBLIC. ALSO LIKES POLICE TO CONFRONT HIM AND PUT THEM ON YOUTUBE, I WAS WISE TO HIS GAME AND KNEW HE HAD VALID CCW AND TECNICALLY NOT BREAKING THE LAW. GOOGLE OPEN CARRY OHIO AND U SEE HIM". (sic)
To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Call posted has posted ONE video, an in-car video taken by a Vandalia cruiser-cam, taken while Mr. Call was parading around, I mean walking to his car in a Kroger parking lot. No doubt the posting of the video and subsequent follow-up was meant to show what a he-man Mr. Call was, rather than make apparent a) the poor training of Vandalia's officers and b) the lack of a connection between one having been issued a CHL and the right to openly carry. I guess those elements went right over Officer Colon's head.
One also can't help but wonder a few things, not the least of which is "What possessed Officer Colon to make the entry?", and secondly "Are we to believe that Officer Colon didn't tell his fellow officers about this dastardly individual?"
I'm sure there are *lots* of open carriers in Riverside, so maybe Mr. Call wasn't recognized when he was observed OCing three months later at the convenience store... Or was he?
See the next post.
