Sober as a judge,Canada day(ok ok two beers but really over three hours) go into swans to get a bottle of Jager for a friend's wedding reception, come out "gimme" he said. I thought it was a joke so I walked up to talk with this sad excuse for a public servant he repeated "gimme" I was explaining that I had just bought it not 12ft from were we were standing at the time and had no intention of opening it until much later and that I was leaving the downtown core. He was by himself no partner."gimme"(like kindergarten seriously,I couldn't believe it) I asked him why he had to take it and without further adew I was Maced in the Face and the bottle (close to 40 bones)was snatched! I immediately called for help and some bro's took me to the bathroom of the bar for dillution.By this time I was completely blind and felt very ill. Anyways wtf. If you cant soberly and with legal ID being of age buy from this establishment then why have it open. And this particular cop was seen patrolling beer and wine stores all night after this,I was watching. Not to give all cops a schlagging cause I ran into some really good ones,the best in fact. Honesty,Truth,Justice without prejudice to much to ask? Well that and a trial by fire! - Thu, 5 Jul 2007 5:56pm

do you remember which cop it was?

This is a crazy story... you could always email Tasha at the Zone... she'd probably like to investigate further and could call the Vic police to get an answer on what is "acceptable" in our fair city of law abiding tax payers.

Talk to a lawyer.
If it was me, I'd sue the Police, the city, and Swans.
You should get paid for this.
Chris Considine could get you thousands. - Thu, 5 Jul 2007 6:32pm

you think if I get a picture they'll put it on t.v. you know like crime stoppers J.A.Ducker. This douche is dangerous I'm sure he has a tazer and worse. He obviously is servicing his own phsycotic tendincies when he put's on that uniform everyday. - Thu, 5 Jul 2007 6:45pm Edited: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 7:11pm

Deitrosity you have an interesting story that I think people shoul dhear, you really should consider emailing Tasha the detail or me and maybe we can phonbe the police guy and ask what is up.

And Trevor is correct, you really should make a formal complaint. Lots of pople want a job as a police officer, no need tolerate bullies. - Thu, 5 Jul 2007 6:53pm

Not untill after it happened of course did I consider this avenue. Was he not making his qouta wtf?!!And why was he alone! - Thu, 5 Jul 2007 7:21pm Edited: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 7:30pm

i think its pretty bad that he maced you, you had no weapon and were doing no harm, had he done his job properly and checked your bottle to see if it was open , and maybe checked your receipt, even that is an invasion of privacy....I would sue, that is excesive force, and for what? is there a law that says people can't walk to and from a liquor store to buy alcohol?....pisses me off, power trippers!!! - Thu, 5 Jul 2007 8:03pm

Using Mace is assault with a prohibited weapon. Even the police have to have good reason to use Mace. It's too bad you don't have a name for the officer, as you can charge him. - Fri, 6 Jul 2007 10:00am

So what happened afterwards? He just took your booze, maced you and left you there? that sounds a little odd. Sound like some of the story is missing. - Fri, 6 Jul 2007 9:55pm

nope that's it! When I came out of the bathroom after around 15-20 minutes there was no sign of him or any other officers to you know follow up. Basically that's it demanded the booze gave no reason or explanation even when asked respectfully. - Sat, 7 Jul 2007 1:19am

sorry but it seems like he wasn't that bad in the video. He gave him a reason explaining why he was being detained. In my case it was much faster. He must have assumed I was going to crack the bottle immediately drink it all to myself instantly and enter a drunken rage were the public would be in dangered. I wish all officers were blessed with that level of clairvoyance!:)an ounce of prevention,nip it in the ass, right? holy shiiat! - Sat, 7 Jul 2007 10:27am Edited: Sat, 7 Jul 2007 10:29am
