Two stage actors say cops made their taxi ride with a racist, homophobic cabbie even more hellish by arresting them due to a bogus dispute over the fare. Christina Sajous and Ethan Paulini charge in a suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court they hailed a cab on Sept. 11, 2014, at W. 13th St. and Seventh Ave. after attending an Off-Broadway show. The two were bound for Harlem, but driver Gregory Adolph refused to take the West Side Highway, papers say. When Sajous, 30, told the driver he had to follow the route they requested, documents show he said, “I don’t have to do anything for a n-----.” Paulini, shocked, said, “What did you say?” Adolph allegedly replied: “Now the f----t got something to say.” The furious passengers got out at 96th St. and Central Park West, paying Adolph $20 for a $19.50 fare. But Adolph, 35, insisted they get back in the car and go to their destination because he wanted the full fare, according to papers. He said he didn’t want to pick up another passenger headed downtown from the “filthy n----- neighborhood,” the suit claims. A new suit claims a ride with a racist cabbie got worse when cops arrested two passengers for failing to pay the fare. Paulini, 34, and Sajous threatened to call the police, but they say Adolph didn’t care. “Who would believe a n----- and a f----t?” he allegedly said. They opted to take the subway at the nearby 96th St. station. While they waited on a platform, four officers asked them to return to the street. Adolph, who could not be reached for comment, told the cops they had skipped the fare, according to the suit. So Paulini gave the cabbie another $20, saying, “If this makes you go away, please take it,” the suit says. “Now I paid it twice.” He then reached into his pocket to present cops with a receipt showing he had indeed already paid the fare once. “Never put your hands in your pockets around a police officer,” one of the cops allegedly barked. Ethan Paulini and Christina Sajous claimed that a wrongful arrested topped a 'ride from hell' with a homophobic and racist cabbie. Paulini tried to explain himself, but a cop said, “Show it to the judge” and pushed him into a police cruiser, documents claim. Sajous, who had a role in the Broadway production of “Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark,” was also thrown in cuffs. “So (the driver) can insult us and we are the ones getting arrested?” Sajous asked, the suit says. “Yup,” a cop replied. Charges against both for resisting arrest and skipping the fare were tossed last year, said their lawyer, Douglas Grover. “This is really an egregious example of inappropriate police conduct,” he said. Paulini and Sajous seek damages to be determined at trial. Adolph, the city and the officers involved are named as defendants. Adolph has a clean driving record, according to the Taxi & Limousine Commission, which has never received a complaint about him. “We’ll review the allegations and investigate the facts once we are served,” a Law Department spokesman said.

Turns out he was right.
Yes, not only is there no law, outlawing "insults", but the cab drivers 1st amendment speech and opinions are protected. So, here's what you do. First, grow a thicker fucking skin. Then, ignore the ignorant cab driver but read his name on his posted license displayed on the dash. Then shut your libtarded mouths until you reach your destination. Once you arrive, pay the racist prick everything you owe... I suggest no tip. Then, exit the cab. Once the cab drives off, vent all you like. Call the cab company in the morning (complaint department opens at 0900 hours)... complain about the driver to the cab owner. Explain in detail his conduct and his name. Now, cross your fingers and hope the cabbie gets fired... and as always, boycott the cab company. The police need not be involved to babysit you pathetically weak dysfunctional SHEEP that are too intolerant to get along without government help. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
The plaintiffs didn't call the police. They had a receipt proving payment. The cops arrested them anyway. You may not realize this, but ordinary people don't have the convenient checklist on how to behave with cops. While cops are trained to always treat everyone like a potential killer, ordinary people go about their daily business and life until one day someone pathetic soul makes their lives miserable. And then people like you blame the victims, as you have above. These two, according to the story, tried to walk away, even at a penalty, but they were not allowed to.
And he wonders why normal humans often look at cops as being assholes with guns and badges. These cops should lose their jobs over this, it's shit like this that will wind up hurting them anyways. But, they probably don't care because they view themselves as untouchable, much like their patron saint of untouchableness, Hillary.
The arrestees weren't the victims... the cab driver was the witness and complainant... the cab company is the VICTIM... and the libtard DEFENDANTS are far from being victims. Only an anarchist like yourself would believe the ARRESTEE. Here is what happened, I've seen it hundreds of times, the Thin skinned libtard fag lovers didn't like the cab driver AND REFUSED TO PAY... and when they found out their thin skinned, intolerant idea of punishing the racist douche cab driver was ILLEGAL... they lied and said they paid him. YOU drank the kool-aid. And the police just didn't respond by crystal fucking ball... they were called by the civilian SHEEP... because they beg for government intervention. A little FACT you cop haters always forget about. You're quick to hate on the cops and bitch about the laws... but it's your peers that make the need for LE possible. They use to beg me, 14 fucking times a day, to respond to their dysfunctional homes, and help them with a dysfunctional situation that THEY created over several years but expected me to fix inside of an hour. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I have a bridge to sell you... as you buy every defendants "I'm innocent" story. lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
The two were bound for Harlem, but driver Gregory Adolph refused to take the West Side Highway, papers say. The only tidbit from this article which has any credibility is the fact the cabbie did not want to drive a specific route from 7th Ave to Harlem. Cabbies get very concerned when people do that. Other than that, this happened over a year ago. What's the 'news' on this? 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.---John 3:16
The charges were dropped, and without any proof of payment, I doubt their civil suit will get far, now will it! Okay so you are a racist too. A fine quality for a former cop, and doubtless the reason for your siding with the cabbie. The only thing I hate about cops is when they demonstrate blatant arrogance, hatred and bias in their work, or forum postings. The blame belongs with a society that teaches everyone from the cradle that the government should be trusted and depended upon for all needs at all times through a myriad of endless laws preached daily. Come to Ecuador and you'll see a place where personal responsibility is far more common and taken far more seriously than the average American would think possible. In Ecuador, the cops would have given the couple a chance to show their receipt. Sounds like it's good your off the force. Even given the length of your retirement, it's apparent you are still very burned out from the experience.
Get all your sheeple buddies that you love to make excuses for and enable, you know, your peers, to stop calling the cops, get fucking jobs, raise their own fucking kids.... be self sufficient. Once they accomplish that, then you can bitch about all those mean cops that take your beloved drugs. The blame belongs to the sheep. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I'm racist because I believe the racist cabbie? Ha, could assumption, O'bunghole thinks the same way. This is why l loath conversing with filthy weak libtards. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
*My* beloved drugs? I'll just say that you were once a nicotine addict, and I never was. As for self-sufficiency, I'm not the one on a government pension. And for the present case, if that couple has a receipt proving payment before the arrest, the city will be paying them in an out of court settlement because some bozo cops decided it wasn't worthwhile to look at it first. If they lied about having any such receipt, I expect them to lose in court.
2) As for self-sufficiency, I'm not the one on a government pension. 3) And for the present case, if that couple has a receipt proving payment 1) nicotine isn't a scheduled drug. 2) The government is responsible for mailing it to me only, the funds come out of a mutual fund that generates its wealthy by private contributions from pay checks and stock markets. Not a penny of NYS pensions is paid from collected taxes. 3) Yes, because it's common to get a receipt from a cabbie. lol I've arrested non paying cab riding shitheads hundreds of times. All it takes is a written statement from the cab driver and a lawful ID of the suspect... and the officer has PC to arrest for theft of services. Too bad for the thin skinned, intolerant douche bags... that there isn't a law prohibiting racist ignorant comments inside a cab. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I'm not taking sides in this, but I am curious. How do you know the cab driver isn't lying because he just doesn't like the rider? There is no way to prove anything. If I am a person with no criminal record, should I just automatically be believed because i make an accusation against a police officer? Would you go and arrest that officer if i made such an accusation? I'm just responding to that one statement. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
You did not read the article.
Actually, I read it in detail, and also, the comments about it. Go sober up. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
I shall tell you in total confidence, Mr. Bushie embracer, they had a receipt from the taxi cab driver.
I don't... and as an officer, that's not my responsibility. It's the responsibility of a jury of their peers. All officers need is PC. Surprised you didn't know that. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You would believe that. If that's the case, I guess they should present that as exhibit ONE to the jury. Acquittal. Somehow I doubt this was available.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
If that's the case, I guess they should present that as exhibit ONE to the jury. Acquittal. Somehow I doubt this was available. Why is the legal process so complex? An accuser (taxi cab driver) makes a claim to the cops against the passengers. The passengers produce a receipt by the accuser immediately to the cops. The cops ignore the EVIDENCE altogether. So the system is so FUCKED-UPPED as to let the bad guy go and accost the good guys because the COPS have no common sense?
Charges against both for resisting arrest and skipping the fare were tossed last year, said their lawyer, Douglas Grover. There is something odd here. I don't think the cops would have arrested them if they could produce a paid ticket. This couple sound like high strung asshates. BTW yes the racist cabbie has a right to call you a faggot and a nigger. You should have recorded it and showed it to the cab company so they could deal with Adoph. Whiny metrosexuals/progressives are like fingernails on a chalk board. Something nobody can stand including themselves!
I don't... and as an officer, that's not my responsibility. It's the responsibility of a jury of their peers. All officers need is PC. Actually, that's a bit disturbing. I've seen this situation more than once. An officer says "tell it to the judge." And the judge takes the attitude that if the officer arrested you, it must be true. He just has too much of a workload to put much thought into the matter. Jury? Do you think there would ever be a jury for a skipped cab fare? Is PC just a statement from the cab driver? I had a friend tell that 2 officers robbed him in Baton Rouge. I believe him. He was stopped for some minor matter which I forget about. They took all the money he had with him and told him get get the hell away. He had no criminal record. Would a statement from my friend be probable cause for you to go arrest the two officers? And no, I'm not saying this is routine behavior for LEOs. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
That wasn't my point at all. And actually I'm in agreement with GI that there is no way that there would be a receipt for a cash payment of a cab fare. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
You were in agreement with GWBush about his pathetic plan to invade Iraq, too. Now LQQK at the mess you caused.
Really, EVERY? Your ability to reason and think is cartoonish. Show me some examples of what you say. Fact is, I am not mistresswhite, I treat each case on its own merits. Even you sometimes are able to do that.
I can vouch for me and any officers I know. Id GLADLY tell them both to take a hike if there wasn't enough PC for an arrest. A receipt would have made my day... and told the cabbie to go pound sand... and then reminded him that the next time he falsely reports a crime, he'll be the shitbird in cuffs. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Your past posting history rubbing elbows with the agenda cult is well known. Lay with dogs, wake with fleas. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
GASP!
So, it shouldn't be difficult to back up the shit you spew then, liar.
I'm guessing this is the point of the civil suit, that the cops arrested them in spite of their having a receipt proving payment. According to the article, the charges against the couple was dropped. Why, it does not say. Maybe the prosecutor saw the receipt. Maybe he decided a trial wasn't worth the amount of the offence, given they had already gone through the trouble of being arrested. As for how likely it is for cabbies to give out receipts, that's a point. Might taxis in this day and age equipped with small thermal printers tied to the meter? In any event, speculating on whether they have one is pointless. They either do or do not, and they are pressing a civil case in which they were arrested after claiming they had one. Doing that without having a receipt will surely ruin their case. Doing so with a receipt will likely win their case. Ergo, if they have no receipt, pressing their case would be quite stupid of them, just as the cop arresting them with a receipt would have been completely stupid. So someone is stupid here. Maybe we'll see who.
Hey, it's no secret that the agenda posters are the forum champion defenders of all whom are arrested in articles... besides an occasional article where a cop is arrested. You've been asleep for the last 10 years.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
So, you can't back your claims up? I am not surprised, why I called you a liar.
Grow up, I'm not gonna cut and paste every time one of you tools have defended the arrested. Give me a break.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Again with your all or nothing cartoon show. Heck, show me ONE..... I'll wait....... In fact, even if you do a search here at LF of me responding to Deckard, you will see most times I disagree with him, maybe 90% of the time...
Did you do some soul searching from your days at LP? If so, I stand corrected. My apologies I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
That's the way I read it. But what's with the receipt they said they had? By the way, when they paid the driver $20 the "second" time, did they get "another' receipt?
Too petty of a crime to mess with. Think about it. If a cop was given a receipt from the riders he would have told them sorry to bother you and then let them go. There is nothing in it for them on such a petty crime to haul them down to do paperwork. Unless the couple were being absolute dicks about it to the officer there is just no way cops going to arrest them. To me this is two drama queens pissed off that someone called them a "faggot and a nigger" and got away with it. Not only got away with it but did it in the heart of progressive heaven and nothing has happen to Adolph the bigot! JMHO
According to the account, the guy went to retrieve it and the cops told him not to put his hands into his pockets. What transpired between that moment and the arrest isn't mentioned. The article is not complete, really, and maybe intentionally so. Perhaps the suit filing gives a more thorough claim on the event. Well, it seems cops have a sixth sense about this sort of thing. They just KNOW who's skipping fare and who isn't. AT least that's the impression I get from GI's discussion on this thread. If they acted only on that "intuition", maybe they're right, maybe not. Many cops just like throwing their weight around. You may well be right. Again, all hinges on whether there really is a receipt or not.
That's the way I read it. But what's with the receipt they said they had? Look at who wrote the article. It's an agenda article. Yellow bullshit. The only proof there ever was a "receipt" was by the author who wrote the article, I guess, allegedly reported as fact by the arrestees. So... let's think logically. If the arrestees had a receipt, and the police didn't take it, why didn't the arrestees present it to this shitty "alternative news source", to be photographed and displayed for all the anarchists to gaze at? Because there wasn't one. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
The couple are pursuing a lawsuit about the issue; without a receipt, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Spit the kool-aid out. You've swilled down too much agenda punch. It's quite common for fags and African Americans to sue... means squat, Buckster. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
These are the opinions of one side. Cops can't say anything because of city lawyers, Adolph is not going to waste his time and Taxi company sure as hell is going to say a word. maybe they're right, maybe not. Many cops just like throwing their weight around. When people treat cops like shit all day. Telling the cops they work for them and should be kissing their ass then you see cops will treat people with the respect provided to them. I would be very surprised if the this lawsuit went anywhere.
So, this is the reason the prosecutor dropped the charges against them, 'eh? Because the keystone kops didn't have a klub to stand on, 'eh?
Bucky, there are literally HUNDREDS of reasons the DA (a political douche) drops charges. Has nothing to do with innocence. Wake the fuck up, Buck-o I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
The kops were wrong, pal. Go have a doughnut and smell the koffee.
Lol, I've never been anti cop, I have been and always will be anti asshole. You know, the busy bodies with their smug moral superiority chaining down the freedoms of others. Pricks that have no problem with Corzine staying out of prison, like MissWhite, or you, who defended Janet Reno. (MissWhites did as well) People who think that Government power is limitless in regards to what it can do to its 'subjects'. Pricks, jerks, you know, your kind of people.
I withdrawal my apologies. I was right, you still are a criminal apologist. Janet Reno is an old, fugly, lezbo libtarded pig. I wouldn't piss on either of you if you were ablaze. I've never stated government should be "limitless"... now I'll ask you to cut and paste a quote of mine where I say that (not a quote where in your warped anarchist brain thinks I meant that). I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
You can't do that.
