TAKEN EASY COP !! * Australia - A Police Oficer overreach

* Queensland - "Get out of your f------ car": said Cop pullsing out his gun

--- Incredible footage has been released showing a Queensland police officer pulling a gun on an alleged speeding driver in the state's outback... Senior Constable Stephen Flanagan can be seen spotting a ute driving at 126kmh in an 110kmh zone... Flanagan can be seen honking at the ute, swearing at the driver to pull over. He does not use his sirens... The ute slows down, then pulls over further down the road, at which time Flanagan can be seen leaving his car with his weapon drawn... "Get out of your f------ car right now," he tells him. A phone recording made by the driver during the confrontation was also played in court... The driver is then handcuffed but later released... The couple's formal complaint about the incident caused the officer to be suspended... Flanagan has claimed he suspected the driver was in a stolen car... The officer is claiming that withholding his pay while suspended is not fair... Flanagan is due to face criminal charges in relation to the Longreach incident later this week... The video is part of a collection of clips tendered at a Supreme Court civil hearing as the now-suspended Flanagan fights to have his pay reinstated, ABC reports...

Police's Stories * USA - Trucker says sheriff’s deputies shocked him with stun gun seven times

Miss,USA -Land Line Magazine, By Charlie Morasch -Feb 23, 2007: -- Larry Works is looking for anyone who may have witnessed a July 29 incident at a Missouri Petro... Works, an OOIDA member from Holladay, TN, told Land Line he was pepper sprayed, shocked multiple times with a Taser gun and arrested for an argument with a sheriff’s deputy on July 29, 2006, in Joplin, MO... However, some facts about that night vary, depending on the source... Works says a disagreement with an off-duty Newton County Sheriff’s deputy needlessly escalated. Ultimately, Works was arrested on charges of first-degree assault on a law enforcement officer... The incident started when Works pulled into the Petro on Interstate 44 in Joplin... The man climbed on to the truck’s driver’s side step and tried to open the door, which Larry had locked. The man then fell to the parking lot, drew his pistol and told Larry to get out of his truck... Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland told Land Line that Deputy Steve Cathers has since taken a job in Jasper County, MO. Copeland wouldn’t say whether he disciplined Cathers or any other employees in relation to Larry’s arrest... Cathers didn’t return phone messages left by Land Line at the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department... The Sheriff’s department has a policy for use of Taser guns, but Copeland declined to describe or reveal the policy and wouldn’t show Land Line the use of force report. “I don’t want to try a case in a magazine before it gets to court,” Copeland said...
