AB Farmer Beaten by RCMP

[Braveheart]

Fendts are fast. But not fast enough for a getaway vehicle. Maybe they're the new "white Bronco".

So the kid gets arrested for trying to runaway from police road check in a tractor? Sounds like he was avoiding a police road check and resisting arrest. Is there special rules for farm kids in tractors or am I missing something? Maybe they should have called his parents to discipline him or give him a time out? LOL

The list of impaired drivers who have tried to runaway from accidents, road checks and breathalysers is a long one. Saskatchewan has the highest rates of impaired driving in the country. Several Saskparty MLAs have convictions. Its a serious crime because it puts a lot of peoples lives at risk. So I am in favour of more road checks and enforcement.

Seems like a lot of people are soft on crime when it involves impaired driving! Could it be because there are so many criminals driving impaired?

Sounds like you are pretty *** sure you know exactly what took place ?
You should call the cops and help them out with their investigation ?
How are the hail adjusters treating you ?

Hail adjusters - not all lovely people either. Get an independent agrlogist from SIA to adjust if they are unreasonable or some one might have another way to get a fair adjustment.

As I've said before.
The badge holds all the power.
Most of us are schooled sooner or later.
I've been nearly tasered for not stopping immediately with a header behind moving "too slow".
Obviously the kid started yodelling and was schooled. Applies even to the Mennonites who live under rocks.

Most of the rcmp that show up in my town barely know what a gravel road is nevermind how farm equipment or farming works.

Here's another devil's advocate scenario, what if the 18 year old adult was working for his families shingling company, and was told by his older brother to get over to the other house they were working on, as they needed to finish shingling before the rain came. When he got to the property there was a police check point for DD or something, and there was a length of cars ahead of him, being stopped on the road. The lane entrance is just a short way ahead, and because he's driving a 4x4 3/4 ton, he decides not to wait in line, but chooses to take the right side ditch, to drive past some or all of the waiting vehicles, so he can get on to the lane and get to work on the house,,, before rain comes. Do I have to say anything more than that?

Clearly, the 18 year old adult refused to leave the tractor on his own accord, which caused the police to remove him by force. The tractor cab being so elevated above the ground, left what looks like,,, a rough arrest, when all of them tumbled to the ground.

Home schooling doesn't mean you can exempt important parts of societal education, whether you have a drivers license or not. Does that mean if he's 35, he still gets a pass,,, because he was home schooled?

I believe I've heard Mark Braford on Gormley say that you can get a DWI, while driving in a tractor, on your own property, working your own land.

If the 18 year old adult is of low IQ and intellectually challenged, then he shouldn't be on the highway. Others should be moving the vehicle between fields for him.

The 18 year old adult, took action with his vehicle, to avoid a police check-stop, and then refused to exit the vehicle. JustMyPointofView

“Drivers operating any kind of vehicle on a public highway are subject to rules of the road set out in the Traffic Safety Act, the Criminal Code and associated regulations, and this includes stopping for peace officers when directed.”

“Sheriffs were stopping all traffic that approached the checkstop and screening motorists for signs of impairment,” said van Rassell in an email. “Sometime after 9 p.m., sheriffs noticed a tractor enter the highway and drive past the checkstop without stopping."

Drive PAST the checkstop.

It's hiway 2A, not some hick secondary.

A check stop on 2A would run miles back. The kid probably couldn't even see what was going on up there. Farmers hay those 2a and transcanada ditches all summer long. They jump in and out of the ditch swathing raking and baling and even hauling. It's a normal operation on those highways.

Probably the dumb ass cops never saw a cvt tractor before. My neighbors are making getaways on their HC sprayers everyday.

I would say the cops are the low IQ individuals.

Guy who makes an honest mistake gets dragged out of his vehicle and slammed on the ground forceably arrested and dragged away by cops.

Guy who hacked a doctor to death is allowed to surrender in a parking lot after attacking the police now in an Edmonton court room claiming amnesia and some mystery illness.

Why didn't Rebel News interview the Home Schoolers themselves, as they have failed in the education department on a couple of fronts. Some of the blame rests on their shoulder's for their sons traumatic experience.

I was stopped many times by the RCMP as a teenager, and my education and educators always thought me to follow the RCMP's instruction when being pulled over while driving any motorized vehicle.

[sumdumguy]

Yes Forage but I remember being young and being in a car with open booze, never remember being man handled or heard of anyone being assaulted because of what they said or didn’t immediately do. I respected them and knew I could count on them to be gentlemen. Never heard of anything like this in my life. Treat people with respect and you will get respect back. Today, I can tell you, I have experience that has taught me to just genuflect and take the ticket, thank them kindly. Then let the judge sort it out.

*cop taps on window* Do you know why I pulled you over?

*driver* Because you got C's in highschool?
