先转一下英文版的原文:
Citizen Pulls Over Police Officer
Citizen's arrests date back to medieval times. They are arrests made by a person who is not acting as a sworn law-enforcement official. Generally, citizens are encouraged to be mindful of unlawfulness and to take action when they see it.
In an attempt to bring attention to the issue of unlawful traffic stops by police impersonators, Gavin Seim of Washington state flagged down a police officer.
The former Republican congressional candidate and self-proclaimed "liberty speaker" stopped a Washington state police officer last week because he was driving an unmarked vehicle.
Seim asked the officer if it was a registered unmarked vehicle for undercover work.
When the officer replied that it was a patrol car, Seim informed him of the law, saying, "You're not allowed to have patrol cars that are unmarked, are you aware of that?"
In the state of Washington, police are allowed to drive unmarked vehicles for special undercover work but not for regular patrols. This is not a national law.
Seim then went through all the normal steps of a traffic stop: taking the officer's name and asking to see his license. Then after a lengthy discussion about the law, Seim let him off with a warning. He urged the officer to speak with his bosses about their illegal patrol cars.
As odd as this may seem, Seim explains that he has a reason for this type of activism. He says that police using unmarked vehicles for regular patrols puts citizens in danger, because people can never be sure if they're being pulled over by actual cops. On his blog he wrote, "If you think it's not a serious issue, try asking those that have been raped or lost loves [sic] ones because of unmarked cars."
给英文不大的童鞋简单翻译一下。有这么一位叫Seim的哥们,闲着没事儿干。就在华盛顿州马路上拦了一辆警车。Seim说,警察蜀黍您开的介车没任何警察标识啊,您是卧底吗?警察蜀黍说,“一边儿玩去,我这儿巡逻呢!”Seim说,蜀黍,在华盛顿州警察只有在执行卧底任务的时候才能开没标识的车,巡逻要开有标识的警车。于是Seim把警察蜀黍的名字驾照都登记了下来,还给了一个警告!让他回去向老板报到。
于是乎,有人说Seim真是吃饱了撑得。但是Seim小朋友说,如果你觉得这是个小问题,你知道有多少受害者被没有标识的假警车给xx和oo了呢?
看到这里,突然想到经常躲在树丛里的那些查超速的警车,很多都是没标识的。不知道这个在我们这里是啥规定捏? |
