you need to find an attorney. As you may have a possible civil case, contact the ACLU, ask to talk to someone who handles "police misconduct" cases, ask them for names of their "cooperating attorneys." Speak to one or more of those.

First, get a piece of paper or a notebook.

Do you have a license to carry a firearm? While open carry is legal outside of Philadelphia, most police take a dim view of it, may stop you, ask where you are going, give your vehicle a look to see if there are any violations at all, will check the size of your magazine--and may take their time...

That language? No. Where you place the signs? Perhaps, so check with your local municipality.

The thing that I struggle with on questions like this is there are a lot of missing facts. Please dont share them here, but those facts are important to determining whether or not you have an actual defense or a potential wrongful use of force case. I am assuming you are charged with aggravated... View More
