Cash, drugs found during traffic stop in Braselton
Thursday, March 8. 2012
Braselton police seized a large amount of cash during a traffic stop on Interstate 85 in which two people were arrested on drug charges, according to an incident report.
An officer initially stopped a vehicle for driving 89 m.p.h. on the interstate. When the officer was walking to the stopped vehicle, the driver started to drive forward. The officer then used a P.A. system on his patrol vehicle to tell the driver to leave the car.
The driver — Myra Kay Rogers, 38, of Pendleton, S.C. — said she and her male passenger were traveling from South Carolina to Georgia to go shopping before returning home. The male passenger — Allen David Holland, 26, of Marietta — also said they planned to go shopping, but spend the night at a hotel.
Police officers said Rogers and Holland appeared nervous during the traffic stop, and Rogers acted differently when an officer asked her about any large amount of money in the vehicle. She allowed police to search the vehicle.
An officer said he found a scale used to weigh jewelry or drugs in the vehicle. Braselton police also said there was a large amount of suspected methamphetamine scattered in the vehicle’s console and back seat area.
Police further found a camera bag in the vehicle that contained a large amount of cash that was bundled in $2,000 increments. An incident report didn’t specify the total amount of the cash.
Holland told police that a friend gave him a bag of meth, according to an incident report. When police tried to stop the vehicle, he panicked and attempted to destroy the meth. Holland said that as he tried to tear open a bag, the meth flew everywhere.
Holland told police that the cash belonged to him for selling two cars the previous day, according to an incident report. He didn’t have a bill of sale for the vehicles.
Holland said Rogers didn’t know anything about the meth or cash in the vehicle, according to police. He explained that he was traveling to Georgia to buy one to pounds of meth from a dealer.
Holland was charged with possession of meth. Rogers was charged with speeding, driving with a suspended registration on a vehicle and possession of meth. They were taken to the Jackson County Jail.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated."
Officers do not care about your rights...You have to remind them of who is really in charge.
And that is you and your constitution.
["Rogers acted differently when an officer asked her about any large amount of money in the vehicle. "]
What a blantant lie from the officer....answer these questions with a polite..."am I free to go officer".
Leos are trained in Neuro-Linguistic-Programing.
they will trap with their lies and their illegal questioning.
If you are pulled over for speeding...get your ticket and leave....Flex your rights people.
When you don't stand up for your rights...you fail as an American.
Flex your Rights people...Or you will lose them and so will all Americans.
Stand up to the Police State.
Be aware and beware.

1).The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on numerous occasions that resisting a false arrest is not merely a citizen’s right, but his duty! In fact, the Supreme Court has gone so far as to rule that if a law enforcement officer is killed as a result of actions stemming from a citizen’s attempts to defend themselves against a false arrest, it is the fault of the officer, not the citizen.
Here’s a short collection of relevant court rulings on false arrest and resisting arrest:
“When a person, being without fault, is in a place where he has a right to be, is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel by force, and if, in the reasonable exercise of his right of self defense, his assailant is killed, he is justified.” Runyan v. State, 57 Ind. 80; Miller v. State, 74 Ind. 1.
“These principles apply as well to an officer attempting to make an arrest, who abuses his authority and transcends the bounds thereof by the use of unnecessary force and violence, as they do to a private individual who unlawfully uses such force and violence.” Jones v. State, 26 Tex. App. I; Beaverts v. State, 4 Tex. App. 1 75; Skidmore v. State, 43 Tex. 93, 903.
“An illegal arrest is an assault and battery. The person so attempted to be restrained of his liberty has the same right to use force in defending himself as he would in repelling any other assault and battery.” (State v. Robinson, 145 ME. 77, 72 ATL. 260).
“Each person has the right to resist an unlawful arrest. In such a case, the person attempting the arrest stands in the position of a wrongdoer and may be resisted by the use of force, as in self- defense.” (State v. Mobley, 240 N.C. 476, 83 S.E. 2d 100).
Do individuals have the right to come to the aid of another citizens being falsely arrested? You bet they do. As another court case ruled:
“One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer, even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance.” (Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910).
And on the issue of actually killing an arresting officer in self defense:
“Citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer’s life if necessary.” Plummer v. State, 136 Ind. 306. This premise was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case: John Bad Elk v. U.S., 177 U.S. 529.
Since the law loves precedent so much: “All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution, are null and void.” Chief Justice Marshall, Marbury v. Madison (1803)
Resist the Police State and the Snitch out your neighbor that is encouraged by the DHS.
Be aware and Beware.

Anyhow the point is this....No one, including corrupt agents of a corrupt government will detain me with out there being dire consequences for all involved.
And there are tens of thousands of Americans that agree with this philosophy and are willing to act upon it.

Next: Odin does appearantly "partake" and might me holding, a Terry frisk, also might produce other items(as he indicated above) so a Lawful Arrest may be in order. If Laws are broken, so sad, too bad, but we also need to be mindful of the impression you make as well.
