Hartford, CT — On September 11, 2015, journalist and police accountability activist, Michael Picard was illegally detained for lawfully open carrying and filming police on public property. During the illegal detainment, Connecticut state troopers confiscated his gun and his camera. However, the trooper who took the phone went on to make a critical mistake — he left the camera rolling while conspiring with fellow officers to falsely charge Picard. In 2017, it was revealed by the department that they investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong when they conspired to frame an innocent man. “They were exonerated,” police union attorney Mark Dumas said. “The troopers didn’t do anything wrong. They were doing their jobs, and they do an excellent job.” Apparently this “excellent job” consisted of trampling the rights of an innocent person and conspiring to have them kidnapped and locked in a cage. Sure thing, Dumas. Now, because the system failed to hold the officers accountable, the case is now a civil matter and the troopers involved have been ordered to stand trial in the civil suit brought on by the ACLU of Connecticut. The taxpayers, not the officers will be the ones to pay for the crimes. The Free Thought Project spoke to the ACLU via email this week, who issued the following statement on the case. “The Constitution is clear: people have a right to protest the police, and people have a right against police taking their property from them without a warrant,” said ACLU of Connecticut legal director Dan Barrett, who is representing Picard in the lawsuit. “The evidence, including video, will show that these police employees were more concerned with covering up their bad behavior, undermining free speech, and retaliating against a protester than with upholding the law. We look forward to getting justice for Michael in front of the jury.” We agree. TFTP also spoke to Picard, who told us the following. “People have the right to protest, including the right to protest police, without ticketing or retaliation against them. I am deeply disappointed that these police ignored my rights, and I am hopeful that the court will hold them accountable so that no one else has to experience what I did,” said Picard. As TFTP reported at the time, on that September night, Picard and a friend were on public property and warning drivers of a DUI checkpoint ahead. They were several hundred yards from the checkpoint and not interfering at all when troopers drove up, without lights on, and against the flow of traffic, to begin harassing the two gentlemen. Trooper First Class John Barone, Sergeant John Jacobi, and Trooper Jeff Jalbert falsely claimed that Picard was waving his gun around and pointing it at people. However, Picard was holding a sign the entire time and did not touch his gun. Also, as you will see below, the officers admit that they were lying. “Police should be focused on public safety, not punishing protesters and those who film public employees working on a public street,” said ACLU-CT legal director Dan Barrett, who is representing Picard in the lawsuit. “As the video shows, these police officers were more concerned with thwarting Mr. Picard’s free speech and covering their tracks than upholding the law.” Had Picard actually been waving a gun, these troopers would have approached the situation in an entirely different manner, with guns drawn and possible SWAT backup. However, they did no such thing, because there was clearly no threat from the activists. The fact that there was no threat did not stop the subsequent assault, however. Two troopers approached Picard while forcefully removing his gun and then grabbing his camera, falsely claiming it is illegal to film. When Picard informs the officer can legally film here, the officer ignorantly asserts that “It’s illegal to take my picture. Personally, it is illegal.” “Did you get any documentation that I am allowing you to take my picture”? asks the cop. When Picard attempts to explain to the aggressive officer that he doesn’t need a permit because he is on public property, the trooper then makes the asinine declaration that, “No I’m not (on public property). I’m on state property. I’m on state property.” State-owned roadways and right of ways are public property. The trooper’s assertion that it is illegal to film on his ‘state property’ was entirely false and in violation of Connecticut Bill No. 245, which “protects the right of an individual to photograph or video record peace officers in the performance of their duties.” All this aggressive and unlawful behavior of these troopers, however, was about to come back to haunt them. After illegally confiscating the camera — the trooper forgot to stop it from recording. What happened next was a behind the scenes glimpse of what it looks and sounds like when cops lie to charge innocent people with crimes. The corruption starts as an unidentified trooper begins to search for anything that these gentlemen may have done to make up charges against them. However, they were clean. At this point, Trooper first class Barone chimes in describing how they now have to charge these men with something to justify their harassment and subsequent detainment. “Want me to punch a number on this? Gotta cover our ass,” explains the trooper as they begin conspiring. “Let’s give him something,” says an unidentified trooper, pondering the ways they can lie about this innocent man. “What are they going to do? Are they going to do anything?” says Sergeant Jacobi, noting that they are entirely innocent. “It’s legal to do it,” he continues, describing how the actions of the two activists are completely legal, before going on to make up charges on them. “I think we do simple trespass, we do reckless use of the highway and creating a public disturbance,” Jacobi says as he makes up these false charges against innocent people. “All three are tickets.” Once they figure out the false charges to raise, the officers then brainstorm a story of lies to back them up. “And then we claim that, um, in backup, we had multiple, um,” the unidentified trooper stutters as he makes up his fake story. “Um, they (the non-existent complainants) didn’t want to stay and give us a statement, so we took our own course of action.” The corrupt cops had then solved their fake case, lied about a cover story, and were set to charge an innocent man with three crimes — all in a day’s work. But there was just one more thing…. “Oh s**t!” blurts out the cop as he realizes their entire scandalous corrupt conversation was just recorded. Apparently, however, the officer felt that it must not have recorded their conversation as the phone was returned. The cops then gave the innocent man back his weapon, and it’s back to the DUI checkpoint for them — to harass and detain more innocent people. Picard explained that all of the troopers involved in his unlawful situation were never disciplined and allowed to progress through the ranks, with some of them retiring. Picard explains: Trooper First Class John Barone, the trooper who said it was illegal for me to record him, seized my camera and recorded himself saying, “We gotta cover our ass,” is now retired and collecting a pension thanks to the taxpayers. Sergeant John Jacobi is now retired and collecting a pension thanks to the taxpayers. Master Sergeant Patrick Torneo, the trooper who said “let’s give him something,” and then helped fabricate a story to charge me, was demoted for reportedly driving drunk, but is now a lieutenant. Lieutenant Stavros Mellekas, who conducted the internal affairs “investigation” and found that the troopers did nothing wrong, was magically promoted four ranks, and is now second in command of the Connecticut State Police. All troopers are being represented by the attorney general’s office and their defense is being paid for by the taxpayers. This is justice in the land of the free.

#23. To: Gatlin, A K A Stone (#22)
HAHAHAHA!!!
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Don’t waste your time with Stone. No matter how bad Dicktard, Hondope or Fred’s Ass Hurtz treats Stone, calls him vile names on his own forum, Stone always lets them back on to post. Here is FACT. Stone could tell Dicktard not to post something, and we fucking both know, Dicktard with do what ever the fuck he wants. We also know Stone will never permanently ban a PAULTARD... so think about it. If Stone won’t permanently ban Dicktard, and Dicktard won’t follow Stones directives... THEN STONE HAS TO FLIP FLOP. It is what it is.
If you ever get the time, create an article, consisting of all the vile shit the Paultards have posted to the site owner.... and they all still post and piss all over his leg. One example: I'm sick of your lies asshole. Deckard posted on 2019-08-15 8:43:51 ET
He posted a likely scenario as a headline. [He also posted a lie in the article.] A “likely scenario” – Stop with the “spin.” It is making you look more stupid than you are. So are you saying or implying that Matt Agorist was just making up shit as he went along? And those things he made up were untrue – Right? Therefore, Matt Agorist fabricated some LIES – Right? No, it’s not OK. If I ever inadvertently post anything that is a lie, I fully expect to be called on it and I will immediately react to rectify the error and apologize for not catching it. One or two articles does not constitute a flood. I didn’t see where Stone said Matt Agorist lies were permitted after he had said: ”I don't like liars.” What I am discussing with you are lies by Matt Agorist – not an unspecified quantity of articles. Salute,
HAHAHAHA!!! Salute,
I know that you are absolutely correct. So sad - So VERY SAD ...
I didn’t see where Stone said that the title was a lie. In fact, he made some rather positive comments agreeing with the article itself. Stop trying to be the forum nanny Parsons. You don't agree with the title? Your whining is duly noted.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. Every libertarian-bashing screed you post for example. I NEVER made ANY “excuses for the cops" Every thread where a cop abuses innocent citizens - you and FireIsland worship cops.

I answered your questions boot-licker.

You've been deflecting the entire thread. 35 posts in and you have yet to address the egregious behavior of the lying cops.

Thank you. You are a good Person who has my respect. Hand Salute,
That should be Connecticut Senate Bill 245 of 2012, and after it is passed it is an Act, and then it is a law. Mere technicalities. However, with his usual flair (entirely false), Matt Agorist flubs the dub again. The law in question is not some grossly generalized thing with no exceptions. The law is not so general and has exceptions. Moreover, the Court has already dismissed the associated Count on summary judgment on the grounds that Matt Agorist is full of crap. The Court did not really say that, it was just my inner Agorist coming out. The Court did say, 13 days before the onslaught of Matt Agorist bullshit: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2012/TOB/S/2012SB-00245-R00-SB.htm Raised Bill No. 245 February Session, 2012 LCO No. 1357 *01357_______JUD* Referred to Committee on Judiciary Introduced by: (JUD) AN ACT CONCERNING THE RECORDING OF POLICE ACTIVITY BY THE PUBLIC. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened: Section 1. (NEW) (Effective October 1, 2012) (a) For the purposes of this section, "peace officer" has the meaning provided in section 53a-3 of the general statutes. (b) A peace officer who interferes with any person taking a photographic or digital still or video image of such peace officer or another peace officer acting in the performance of such peace officer's duties shall, subject to sections 5-141d, 7-465 and 29-8a of the general statutes, be liable to such person in an action at law, suit in equity or other proper proceeding for redress. (c) A peace officer shall not be liable under subsection (b) of this section if the peace officer had reasonable grounds to believe that the peace officer was interfering with the taking of such image in order to (1) lawfully enforce a criminal law of this state or a municipal ordinance, (2) protect the public safety, (3) preserve the integrity of a crime scene or criminal investigation, (4) safeguard the privacy interests of any person, including a victim of a crime, or (5) lawfully enforce court rules and policies of the Judicial Branch with respect to taking a photograph, videotaping or otherwise recording an image in facilities of the Judicial Branch. This act shall take effect as follows and shall amend the following sections: Section 1 New section Statement of Purpose: To protect the right of an individual to photograph or video record peace officers in the performance of their duties.
When I read that headline by Matt Agorist I went no further for I immediately began a search to verify the premise of his story and I continue to do so today. I waste no time ever before I begin fact-checking the articles by Matt Agorist. I still have found that nowhere is there one iota of evidence to show any basis whatsoever to indicate in any way there is pending legal court action for the State of Connecticut “taxpayers to be held liable” in any way whatsoever for actions by the Connecticut state troopers in the story. Have you? It has been reported – and we both have often verified – that Matt Agorist and The Free Thought Project are entwined in a vicious circle of mutual manipulation, mythmaking and they are promoting a self-interest agenda. Matt Agorist needs to always create a crises headline to dramatize some salient facts of an actual situation whereby he appears to be responding to a crises. Far too often there are just enough facts presented but there is never really a crises – there is however much joint fabrications added to a situation. The two have become so ensnared in a symbiotic web of lies that they are virtually unable to tell the public complete truth because they flavor the situation with such soul-searching and tear-jerking drama. Paul H. Weaver, a former Harvard University political scientist, a Fortune magazine journalist and a Ford Motor Company corporate communications executive presented such a thesis in his demonstrative provocative analysis showing News and the Culture of Lying: How Journalism Really Works. Matt Agorist and The Free Thought Project have learned all of the “deceptive tricks” and they use them most effectively to unfortunately fool some. All they ever do is take a story from another source and flavor it with fabricated lies in order to create excitement which will gain sympathy and attract attention. And why Stone changed his mind to once again permit these “flavored news story atrocities” to appear on his web site – only Stone knows. Salute,
No you don't. You didn't mention one lie the cops told. Not one. How about doing that now. Instead of whining about an accurate title, yes the taxpayers will pay for the asshole liar cops on the video. Are you capable of addressing the substance of the article or are you to obsessed with Deckard and proving libertarians aren't your equal?
Free speech and open dialog. Back to my original position on the home page.
Everyone has their own agenda. Your agenda is to trash libetarians. Now I don't agree with libertarians on moral issues either. But they aren't wrong on everything that is for sure.
Judges are corrupt and this is bullshit just like Roberts and Obamacare. The cops said on tape that they had to cover their asses. So they made up stuff after the fact. The cops should be fired and imprisoned and would be if we had honest judges and prosecutors.
No you don't. What is it that you don’t understand about “lies on a first come basis?” The first lie to come was: “Taxpayers to Be Held Liable …” I have – as nolu chan also has – proved it was a lie. For, it is as I have repeatedly said: I deal with lies on a first come basis … And I am still dealing with the first lie. I will be pleased to address your point after you concede that Matt Agorist told a lie first in the headline. Will you do that – Or either prove that Connecticut “Taxpayers to Be Held Liable” for the actions by three state troopers? But you can’t do that. Can you? As I said – First lies first. You admit it was a lie or prove it to be a fact. Then I will be more than pleased to honor your request. Salute,
Free speech and open dialog. Back to my original position on the home page. GrandIsland stated in: If Stone won’t permanently ban Dicktard, and Dicktard won’t follow Stones directives... THEN STONE HAS TO FLIP FLOP. Yes, I called you a “weak-assed Flip Flopper” simply on the ground where you effectively demonstrated yourself to be. It was you who so BOLDLY stated to Deckard: No more articles from that freak. If you post more I will delete them. Then if you continue I will delete everything from free thought project. Then I will just delete you. I don’t see you running a web forum any longer. You have a registered domain that has become “Deckard’s Personal Blog.” That is an opinion – a carefully considered opinion. But I believe you cannot help but recognize this – for without Deckard filling the side-bar with cop-hating and anti-government articles, you site activity would be nothing to speak of. Salute,
Everyone has their own agenda. That is true. And you have let your web forum become a “parrot” for the Matt Aforist and The Free Thought Project through he designed efforts of Deckard running his on blog on what once was your forum. Nah, my agenda is not to trash libertarians. My agenda is to use their fuck-ups as an in-your-face mirror look-back at Deckard for continually posting cop- hating articles while he constantly proclaims that he only hates “bad cops”. It gets him riled and responsive. And I must confess – I do enjoy doing that. The libertarians are not wrong on everything and that is for sure. But everything the libertarians are right on – they stole for someone else. The have no original ideas. Research will show you that for everything they post – someone has either already said it, tried it or done it. Salute,

[Matt Agorist] State-owned roadways and right of ways are public property. The trooper’s assertion that it is illegal to film on his ‘state property’ was entirely false and in violation of Connecticut Bill No. 245, which “protects the right of an individual to photograph or video record peace officers in the performance of their duties.”
Some district courts have held that in the context of a journalist, who is not subject to the police activity, the First Amendment right to record police activity in public is clearly established. See Stolarik v. City of New York, 2017 WL 4712423, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 7, 2017); Higginbotham v. City of New York, 105 F. Supp. 3d at 380. However, the instant plaintiff was not a journalist or even a bystander; he was a subject of defendants’ investigation and performance of their official duties. Accordingly, plaintiff’s right to record police activity or to record a police officer engaged in his official duties was not “clearly established” within this Circuit at the time of September 11, 2015, so that a reasonable defendant officer would have understood from existing law that his conduct was unlawful. See Anderson v. Recore, 317 F.3d 194, 197 (2d Cir. 2003); see also McKenzie, 2019 WL 3288267, at *7; Rivera v. Foley, 2015 WL 1296258, at *9 (D. Conn. March 23, 2015) (qualified immunity granted on basis that right to record police officers engaged in ongoing investigation was not clearly established as matter of constitutional law). Summary judgment will enter in favor of defendants on this claim.

c) A peace officer shall not be liable under subsection (b) of this section if the peace officer had reasonable grounds to believe that the peace officer was interfering with the taking of such image in order to (1) lawfully enforce a criminal law of this state or a municipal ordinance, (2) protect the public safety, (3) preserve the integrity of a crime scene or criminal investigation, (4) safeguard the privacy interests of any person, including a victim of a crime, or (5) lawfully enforce court rules and policies of the Judicial Branch with respect to taking a photograph, videotaping or otherwise recording an image in facilities of the Judicial Branch.

Oh, but my dear Sir – YES, I did. I most DEFINITELY did. You didn't mention one lie the cops told. Not one.
That is correct – absolutely correct. How about doing that [addressing the lies by the state troopers] now. Instead of whining about an accurate title, yes the taxpayers will pay for the asshole liar cops on the video.
“Whining” your ass. I am just doing a great job of “dressing you down.” … yes the taxpayers will pay for the asshole liar cops on the video.
You made a proof positive statement. Now you should show me show me where, how and when. Are you capable of addressing the substance of the article or are you to obsessed with Deckard and proving libertarians aren't your equal?
I am fully capable of addressing the substance of the article after you deal with the first lie – and thus far, you have shown that you are totally incapable of handling it.

Then you are a weak-assed “Flip Flopper.” https://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi? ArtNum=60133&Disp=24#C24
I just noticed this is another article by the liar Matt Argorist.
I showed you where Deckard INTENTIONALLY violated your edict and you don’t do a fucking thing about it. Oh, but you can tell me to get my head out of my ass and stop whining – All while you Flip Flop. Geeeze …

Your agenda is to trash libetarians. Now I don't agree with libertarians on moral issues either. But they aren't wrong on everything that is for sure.
