Steve Corich Police Officer

But cops and any other government thug with a gun and a badge are above the law. None of these pigs will ever be charged with a crime for what they did to me at MCC on Thursday, January 31 from 11:45 a.m. to 1:39 p.m.

From the violent behavior Captian Lynn Bray displayed when he falsely arrested me, roughed me up, illegally searched me violating my 4th Amendment right, and tried to force me to answer his questions, violating my 5th Amendment right,

I am sure Captian Lynn Bray is a sick, mentally ill person who is a danger to any citizens who accidentally bumps into him.

One of the rants Captian Lynn Bray said to me while I was falsely arrested in the MCC library was

This is MY library. You will do what I tell you. You will answer my questions.

Captian Lynn Bray thinks because he is a works at MCC he owns the library. with a gun and a badge at MCC he owns the library.

Captian Lynn Bray thinks because he is a cop at MCC with a gun and a badge at MCC that he is the supreme master of all people there!

Captian Lynn Bray thinks because he is a cop at MCC with a gun and a badge at MCC that the 5th Amendment is null and void and any body he questions WILL answer his questions.

How silly of me! After he asked me my name I told him. I would like a lawyer before I answer any of your questions.

Instead of saying “Yes Sir! I will cease questioning you since you took the 5th”, Captian Lynn Bray told me that I didn’t have any 5th Amendment rights in HIS library.

Did man really attack Cheney? VP may have to take the stand

DENVER - No one can agree on what exactly happened the day a Colorado man spotted Dick Cheney strolling the streets of a ski resort town and decided to give the vice president a piece of his mind.

Steve Howards, 55, says he walked up to Cheney and delivered his message - "Your policies in Iraq are disgusting" - then lightly touched the vice president's shoulder.

The White House photographer says he saw Howards slap Cheney on the back.

Cheney's personal aide remembers Howards placing his hand on Cheney's arm and shaking his hand.

As for the Secret Service agents who arrested Howards on suspicion of assault, two say he lightly clapped Cheney on the shoulder, a third demonstrated it as a shove, and a fourth said Howards reached over several small children and struck Cheney.

Because the agents, now accusing one another of changing their stories and lying about what happened, can't agree, Cheney should give his own version, Howards says.

He has filed a federal lawsuit against the agents, claiming they violated his right to free speech and protection from unreasonable search and seizure.

"He's the so-called victim of the assault. Clearly the vice president should have very relevant testimony to give," said Howards' attorney, David Lane, who this month asked a federal judge to order U.S. marshals to serve a subpoena to the White House.

Getting the vice president into a witness box would be a historic achievement.

It is exceedingly rare for high-level officials to testify or give depositions, said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C., group that advocates for transparency in government.

Fitton said he could not recall an instance in which Cheney has given a deposition while in office.

He said that to compel such a high-ranking executive-branch official to testify, one must show that that official has information that could not be obtained in another way. It was the same argument Cheney's attorney made in U.S. District Court last week.

Biz Van Gelder, a Washington attorney who specializes in white-collar criminal defense, disagrees.

"I know of no law that says the vice president of the United States is immune from service process because he's the vice president," she said.

One question the courts will consider is how much of an intrusion it is on the vice president's schedule to be called to testify, said Joel Goldstein, a law professor at St. Louis University and expert on the vice presidency.

Perhaps the best-known example of a president or vice president giving a deposition in recent times is Bill Clinton's 1998 testimony in a sexual-harassment lawsuit filed against him by Paula Jones.

Last year, speculation swirled that Cheney would testify at the criminal trial of his aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Jr., but that did not happen.

Experts noted that situations such as the Howards-Cheney exchange are rare.

"These sorts of things don't happen that often because they (vice presidents) have a pretty sheltered existence," Goldstein said.

On June 16, 2006, Howards, an environmental consultant, was with his family in Beaver Creek, a resort town about 100 miles west of Denver, when he spotted Cheney walking down the street.

That morning, Howards said, he had just read a newspaper article that listed the number of soldiers killed in Iraq.

"I was outraged," he said. "The fact he happened to cross my way, I felt was an opportunity I couldn't ignore."

So, Howards said he spoke his piece, then patted the right shoulder of Cheney's silk suit and walked away. A Secret Service agent caught up with him a few minutes later and began to question him.

That agent, Virgil "Gus" Reichle Jr., hadn't seen what happened. But he said other agents told him an assault had taken place, that Howards had slapped Cheney "with such force that his shoulder dipped," according to Reichle's deposition.

Reichle arrested Howards, but assault charges were never filed. Instead, Howards was issued a summons for misdemeanor harassment, but the district attorney later dismissed the charge, saying it was clear Howards hadn't attacked Cheney.

What happened next is anything but clear.

In his Nov. 27 deposition, Reichle claimed the other agents later changed their story to say there was no assault, perhaps because they didn't want to inconvenience Cheney with any legal hassles.

"Certainly, they don't want him to be bothered with a deposition," he said. "Perhaps Vice President Cheney just was willing to let it go, you know. He's a tough guy, played high-school football."

Another agent, Daniel McLaughlin, denied that he had ever considered the incident to be an assault. After Howards' arrest, he said, he and Adam Daniels wrote statements describing what they saw: physical contact but no assault.

McLaughlin said Reichle called him several hours after the arrest and asked him to alter his written statement.

"(Reichle) said, 'I need you to change your statement. Your story and mine are not the same.' I said, 'My statement is what I recollect from what I participated in. We're not having this conversation.' Then I hung up on him," McLaughlin testified.

The next morning, McLaughlin said Reichle confronted him and said, " 'The vice president's detail is involved in a cover-up.' I thought that he had taken a giant leap away from his good senses."

A Secret Service spokesman declined to comment on the case because of the litigation.

The agents' rancorous difference of opinion makes Cheney a critical witness in the case, the attorney for Howards argues.

He said it's customary for lawyers to accept subpoenas on behalf of their clients, but Cheney's lawyer, James Gilligan, has refused to do so.

Gilligan noted that the agents and other government employees have complied with depositions. Asking the vice president, he said, "is a different kettle of fish."

Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer ordered Gilligan to present his legal arguments by the end of February outlining why Cheney should not be subpoenaed. Another hearing is scheduled for March 6.
