[van-discuss] Re: police unlawful arrest

[Chris Quigley]

     I don't know if you will even care about my e-mail, but just tonight I was walking home and J walked when 2 officers stopped me.  I stopped and they asked do I know why I stopped them, I said because i J walked?  Anyways they asked for my ID and i didnt believe they were police officers since i have worked in vancouver as a bartender for at least  7 years and never seen beat cops so I asked them for their id before I produced mine.  they imediattley through me against a wall and handcuffed me and said I was resisting arrest.  I have never been in trouble with the law and am well dressed, i was not drunk and complyed to every request.  Why was I handcuffed and treated that way and furthermore, is there someone you could put me in contact with who could help me out.  I think I have done nothing wrong and feel I was treated very unjustly. 
  Sincerly Chris

P.S.  I hope I am not wasting you time, I was just doing a search under police harassment and you came up first.-------------- next part --------------
