Brandon Vreeland, 40, and James Baker, 24, were charged with carrying a concealed weapon, resisting arrest and disturbing the peace. Baker was also charged with brandishing a weapon.
The two men are currently out on bond. After today's probable cause hearing, the men will have a preliminary exam on March 17.
According to Nicholas Somberg, the attorney representing Vreeland, the surveillance video doesn’t show any illegal activity by either man.
“It doesn’t show my client breaking any law, certainly not felony firearm laws -- certainly not felony resisting arrest,” said Somberg. |

What does state law say?
If, as their attorney stated, they violated no laws, it is incumbent upon the legislature to write law civilly and criminally penalizing the department and everybody in the chain of command from the arresting officer upward for unlawful arrest, detention and kidnapping.
They won't stop until there are legal teeth to bite them, DEEP, when they cross this line. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
