Yesterday Oklahoma Cop Block (http://oklahomacopblock.org/) founder, D.J. McCaskill put on my radar a video captured and uploaded to YouTube.com/Gloc361 that shows, after almost 12-minutes into a relatively uneventful vehicle stop on an Alice, Texas road, Nick Juarez walk onto private property, demand identification from the person recording, and when the response given was not in the form of identification but in stating rights, Juarez put into handcuffs (and, when the camera was turned-off, bring that person to a cage).

I called the Alice Police Department on Tuesday, January 1st, 2013 to inquire about the policies supposedly upheld by employees of Alice police department. Specifically, whether it was standard operating procedure to kidnap and cage anyone documenting the actions of employees. I was told to call back. I did, but again, was told on on present could talk to me about their policies or the incident.

Maybe you'll have better luck?

It's clear Gloc361 was not in any way interfering with the stop, so why did Nick Juarez feel compelled to not just walk on property he was told was private? Is that the kind of behavior you desire from someone who "protects" you?
