‘F*ck the police’ on motorist’s radio gets him pulled over by angry cop

Posted on December 15, 2014 by Sam Rolley

A Hialeah, Florida, cop who has managed to rack up 16 internal affairs complaints over his 17-year career decided to try for another last month when he pulled over a motorist because he didn’t like the music coming from the young man’s car. The music playing at the time of the stop: “F*ck tha Police,” N.W.A.’s classic rap song, which has, unsurprisingly, experienced newfound popularity in recent years.

Cesar Baldelomar, a 26-year-old Harvard graduate, was heading to his parents’ house to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal when he passed police officer Harold Garzon, who was standing on the side of the street filling out paperwork related to a traffic accident.

Just as Baldelomar passed the officer, the song on his radio changed, kicking off with the verse to a song that anyone familiar with classic hip-hop has heard: “F*ck tha police / Comin’ straight from the underground. A young n**** got it bad cause I’m brown / And not the other color so police think / they have the authority to kill a minority.”

According to Baldelomar’s retelling of what followed to the Miami New Times, Garzon hollered, “Really? You’re really playing that song?”

After he pulled over, Garzon informed the motorist that it was illegal to play music loud enough to be heard by a person 25 feet away.

But Baldelomar, who reportedly holds two Harvard degrees and is currently studying law at Florida International University, disagreed, noting that the noise statute cited by the cop had been struck down.

“In 2012, the state supreme court struck down any law banning loud music,” he said. “I knew that because it was a case I had actually studied in law school.”

After other officers were called to the scene, Garzon demanded proof of insurance. Baldelomar provided an e-card on his phone.

“It’s got to be paper,” the officer claimed, refusing to take the electronic proof, despite Florida being one of 35 states where e-insurance cards are permitted.

In the end, Baldelomar received three tickets: one for not wearing his seat belt (he says he was), one for having an out-of-state license plate (he’s a legal resident of Massachusetts, where he attended school) and one for failure to provide insurance. He reportedly refused to sign them and plans to contest all three.

Notably absent was a ticket for the noise violation. Baldelomar asked where it was and was told not to get “smart.”

“I’m educated. I know my rights. And I speak English, so I can fight this,” Baldelomar told Miami New Times. “But what about when this happens to someone who’s not so lucky? Policing has to change in this country.”

[Editor's Note: So, a guy volunteers to get shot at in Iraq (or drafted during Vietnam), he takes the military aptitude test in boot camp and gets trained as a rifleman. After serving in one of those unnecessary wars, he comes home alive and unmaimed (instead of a paraplegic or a body bag). He lacks the scholastic record or the attained skills to attend college so he joins the POLICE FORCE in his local community. He is forced to join a union that with union dues insures him against employment termination even if he violates the Constitution and the laws. His primary job is to hide in a barely visible spot off-road (like a roach) so he can eat donuts and write his daily quota of traffic tickets that fill government and union coffers. Pretty disgusting way to extort money from citizens. Taxes are almost as bad. I would prefer a private police force funded by a privately owned and managed community with no unions or seniority (only merit) and total managerial control of employees to determine promotions and terminations without political involvement of any kind.]

• IRS Restructuring Act of 1998: Section 1203 - Termination of Employment for Misconduct
• IG Report: IRS illegally using audit quotas to measure agent performance

10/23/14 FROM The Hill

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the IRS to detail under oath how some of former agency official Lois Lerner’s emails went missing, as well as any potential methods for recovering them.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court in Washington gave the Internal Revenue Service exactly a month — until Aug. 10 — to file a report, which he demanded as part of a lawsuit from a conservative watchdog, Judicial Watch, against the agency.

Judicial Watch is seeking a wide range of documents from the IRS, including Lerner’s emails, as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. It has complained that the IRS didn’t tell it that the agency couldn’t recover all of Lerner’s emails from 2009 to 2011.

Sullivan cast his ruling as a compromise, and a potential way for Judicial Watch to get answers without the court wading any deeper into the matter. Judicial Watch had asked the court to potentially compel IRS officials to testify about the lost emails, through a process called limited discovery.

FROM Project to RESTORE AMERICA

The FairTax is a consumption tax unilaterally applied to all Americans at the same rate. For businesses, payroll taxes would no longer exist. Our exports would include a heavy tax for overseas buyers purchasing our products, while our imports would be cheaper for us to purchase. I'm not sure how this would affect GDP, as more information is necessary.

According to the FairTax website, "Under the FairTax, every person living in the United States pays a sales tax on purchases of new goods and services, excluding necessities due to the prebate." The prebate gives every legal resident household an "advance refund" at the beginning of each month so that purchases made up to the poverty level are tax-free.

So a family of four making something like $50,000/year should not have to pay taxes, thus preventing an unfair burden on low-income families. Since the FairTax eliminates both federal and payroll taxes, you get to keep your gross pay amount of each paycheck earned.

Why Do We Need Term Limits?

John Adams said, “Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey”. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.

1. Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
2. Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
3. Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
4. Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
5. Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.

Term limits for lawmakers: when is enough, enough?

[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]
