We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Awesome, now you can call them by name
I knew the Deputy's Name Grape. She's talked to me before while I was OCing and never a word about the gun. Obviously. they were playing good cop, bad cop here but she has some brownie points.
There was no incident report made which means they just logged out of the call.
I suppose the moral of the story is if you are going to stick your nose in things that don't concern you, don't do it under color of law and the magic word goes a lot further than tough guy tactics.

Apparently only because he didn't say that was part of his job.

Funny how VA LE can be very precise about the law of a records request, but somehow their thinking can go all soft and muddled when it comes to the 4th Amendment.
Could always FOIA for any calls about that location in the time frame. Think though that had that been the case, the deputies most likely would have talked to someone afterward.
Hold on there just a minute, Sparky -
Some outastater came into Starbucks to whine, was told it was legal, and then called the deputies because they did not trust the barista?
And there is no record of that call - or even of the deputies contacting dispatch to clear the assignment call?
Sounds just a little bit fishy.
stay safe.

Welcome to the FOIA two step Skid. There was no report filed with the sheriff's office. No incident report, etc.
They've separated communications as a different department. They are the custodians of the call records and apparently who the call is cleared with. That takes a new FOIA.
It's like Henrico...they waste a lot of my time chasing the buck that was passed and...they can get a new research fee each time.
Apparently you are too young to recognize the use of the term. One day when you are buying the Oulde Pharts Cardiac Care Unit Marching (cholesterol & gluten free) Chowder Society coffee I'll edumacate you.
stay safe.
roflmao....
skid, seems the good folk out west are a bit testy about being improperly identified...or even when they aren't improperly identified...

I remember Ol' Sparky well. Used to live at the Spring Street Hilton (the one with the revolving door) in Richmond. There were others, but none quite like our Sparky.
Puts an entirely new perspective on divide and conquer.

As a dues paying member of the Virginia chapter of the OPC/CRT, I remember Olde Sparkey well. I also remember the one you pictured.
Ahhh, the memories! ;>)
Need to check on the meds of a few people. Calling someone "Sparky" and discussing "Old Sparky" are two different things.
But since we are on the topic of the other thing - anybody else get to walk into the room and run a hand over Old Spary? (And walk out again without your hair all frizzed. )
I know where Old Sparky (Va edition) is stored, as well as the last flogging post used in Va prisons.

Surprised that someone (DOC Director?) hasn't had it placed in front of his desk as the place for visitors to sit.
The flogging post is still actively used here............digital version on VA sub-forum.
grape, you say this after another va forum member shows they have a trap in the passenger seat of his vehicle to catch trolls...ya'l aren't the kindest folk around are ya.
