[h=1]Man In Custody After Reports Of Suspicious Person Inside Visitor Center Garage
[/h]

By Mike Dougherty
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Visitor’s Center on Independence Mall closed for a short period of time Sunday while police investigated a suspicious man.


Authorities say a man wearing a full camouflage suit inside the Visitor’s Center quickly drew the attention of police.


Philadelphia Police Lieutenant Joe McGarrey says they caught up with him inside a vehicle in the underground parking garage.


“The car was full of trash,” he said. “So as a precaution on the safe side, we cleared it with K-9, cleared it with the bomb squad.”


Nothing dangerous was found, but the man was taken into custody for questioning. No charges have been filed.


“Obviously, it’s the Visitor’s Center, Independence Mall,” McGarrey said. “We’re going to take every precaution necessary.”


The building has re-opened.


​

Man, there ain't enough K-9 units in this whole wide world to clear all "the-car-was-full-trash" cars owned and driven by guys wearing camo down here in Dixie!

Joking aside though, this is just more of the successful test in Watertown last week where every single person found inside a home, regardless of fitting the description of the suspect or not, was forced from their homes and businesses and not one single sheep in the masses is reported to have resisted the invasion/intrusion. Getting arrested for wearing camo gives a whole new meaning to the term "wardrobe malfunction."

I hope he has a good lawyer.

And as you said, a person in camo isn't even looked at twice by most. Unless it is to determine if they are Army, Air Force, Marine, or Navy so they can be thanked.

I wonder if I would get detained for wearing my uniform while walking around a mall parking lot...? After all, it's camo...

Now when I think camo I think hunting camo. So around here in upstate SC a person in full camo isn't looked at twice cause we all just assume he's another redneck who subscribed to that "we need to start wearing camo out in public" trend.

Haven't these cops ever seen Rambo II? Never a good idea to start arresting rednecks just for being rednecks in your peaceful little liberal town.

What will the lawyer do? The man wasn't arrested. He wasn't even named. They didn't say the camouflage was the reason they detained him either, though the press reports do make it sound that way. But I learned a long time ago not to trust press reports.

On a brighter note, in Philly the next day.......

Of course, this can't be possible because the gun was an AR-15 and we all know those EEEEEEVIL 'assault weapons' could NEVER be used for anything good. Must be inaccurate reporting.

That right there is grounds for a lawsuit. Harassment for what? Being taken into custody, why?

Sounds like he was just detained for questioning. That's not like a false arrest, which would be a far easier case for a tort lawyer to litigate. I doubt you'd find one willing to sue just based on his being questioned. I'd still like to know why specifically they considered him suspicious though.

It's not uncommon to see people wearing up to 3 or 4 different types of camo either. There's always 3 or 4 guys at the hardware store wearing BDU trousers, mossy oak t-shirt, stick and leaf camo hat with that old WWII turtle shell lookin camo jacket.

I'm almost always seen wearing my DCU field jacket. Makes me wonder if this guy had the stars and stripes on his right shoulder.

 

[tricolordad]

Haha i just remembered this. The old dude who cleaned our hotel room this morning was wearing a mossy oak jumpsuit. Lol it's like a redneck onesie. Oh no call DHS! Lolololol

What does him not being named have to do with him having been harassed and "taken into custody" for no reason that any report I've found has articulated? The only mention of "suspicious behavior" or whatever s h i t house excuse they made up for screwin' with the guy is the camo "suit" and the trashy car.

Whatever, I did find another piece on it with a bit more info and quotes from cops.

​

...Investigators say it was all because of a man dressed in camouflage, who they described as suspicious.


​

"Investigators" said it was the camo, not "the press reports" making it "sound that way."

"....The vehicle had quite a bit of trash and some strange items in it. I didn't see the vehicle, inside the vehicle, but it was enough to call our ordinance disposal out," said Lt. Joseph McGarrey.
​

The same piece says that the guy apparently lives in his car, so "quite a bit of trash" would not be unusual at all. It was just an excuse to hassle the guy who had the audacity to wear camo just a couple of days after a jihadist "made" a whole city's government and LE agencies lock down and set about the task of violating the civil rights of every citizen they came in contact with - except one, which was a wounded jihadist hiding in a boat who was only discovered by a homeowner after the unconstitutional lock down was lifted.

....His behavior was enough for authorities to shut down parts of the historic area especially in light of heightened security after the Boston Marathon bombings.
​

There ya go. The audacity of the man to wear camo and have a trashy car so close in time to the Boston bombings. The NERVE of that camo-monger!

...."There are potential threats all the time and unfortunately that's a reality that we have to live with for the rest of our lives and in future generations," said Mike Radcliffe.
​

This piece doesn't identify who Mike Radcliffe is other than by name, but he's either a cop or one of the sheeple in the area who didn't give a damn about a fellow citizen getting taken into custody because cops don't like the pattern of the cloth he's wearing!

In the writings I've found so far, there is not one single word from either witnesses, cops or the reporters talking about it that justifies the cops even questioning the guy. Add "taking him into custody" and it's just another case of run amok cops ignoring their oaths and trampling on citizens' rights. People have become so accustomed to it, that they don't even condemn it anymore.

Bloomberg: Interpretation of Constitution Will 'Have to Change' After Boston Bombing...

http://politicker.com/2013/04/bloomb...ave-to-change/


In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.

“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

Mr. Bloomberg, who has come under fire for the N.Y.P.D.’s monitoring of Muslim communities and other aggressive tactics, said the rest of the country needs to learn from the attacks.

“Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11,” he said.

“We have to understand that in the world going forward, we’re going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff. That’s good in some sense, but it’s different from what we are used to,” he said.

The mayor pointed to the gun debate and noted the courts have allowed for increasingly stringent regulations in response to ever-more powerful weapons.

“Clearly the Supreme Court has recognized that you have to have different interpretations of the Second Amendment and what it applies to and reasonable gun laws … Here we’re going to to have to live with reasonable levels of security,” he said, pointing to the use of magnetometers to catch weapons in city schools.

“It really says something bad about us that we have to do it. But our obligation first and foremost is to keep our kids safe in the schools; first and foremost, to keep you safe if you go to a sporting event; first and foremost is to keep you safe if you walk down the streets or go into our parks,” he said. “We cannot let the terrorists put us in a situation where we can’t do those things. And the ways to do that is to provide what we think is an appropriate level of protection.”

Still, Mr. Bloomberg argued the attacks shouldn’t be used as an excuse to persecute certain religions or groups.

“What we cant do is let the protection get in the way of us enjoying our freedoms,” he said. “You still want to let people practice their religion, no matter what that religion is. And I think one of the great dangers here is going and categorizing anybody from one religion as a terrorist. That’s not true … That would let the terrorists win. That’s what they want us to do.”
