Dont get stopped by the Canton Ohio cops

Canton PD "Notification" Arrest & Officer Goes Berserk / Threatens

On June 8, 2011 the following unfortunate arrest took place in Canton, OH.

Notifying the police when you have a firearm is required by Ohio Law, but when this individual with a thirty-day old license tries to do that he is repeatedly ordered to look away, shut up, or interrupted and "forced" to change what he is speaking about by the actions of an aggressive cop who maintains verbal control of the situation.

A two man car dealing with three people put itself at risk when one officer started what appears to be an illegal search of the rear of the car without extracting or securing the driver - which would have given him an opportunity to notify.

What follows is horrific example of a police officer losing all self-control, threatening to beat the female, threatening to beat the driver and eventually saying he should have executed him "and wouldn't have lost any sleep over it" that night.

I lived in Canton for two years. It sucks there even if this cop wasn't there.

No, you don't understand. It is a hellhole.

Apparently the cops dig them a little "97.5... W. O. N. E...."

(And you call yourselves radio nerd. Peeesh.)

WONE was once a great radio station. Who knows what it is now. Probably crap just like most once great rock stations.

I have very dear and talented friends who work there still, but for the most part WONE has become what so many so-called Rock stations are nowadays; safe, middle of the road AC's playing Zepplin. But I had some of the most fun of my career working there.
