@superguzzi07: I was addressing the detention of the two fanatics in the truck. They had every selfish right to refuse a search of their vehicle. They also had every right to allow the officer to search their vehicle. But since they refused, the officers had every right to detain them. Just because you have the "right" to do something, doesn't mean you have to choose that path, or that it's the most moral choice.

@kookoonuts If I have the right to refuse being searched, then it cannot logically follow that the police have the right to punish me for my choice. It's not a right if negative legal consequences follow the rightful action. The officer was wrong to detain me for acting within the scope of the law, it constitutes an unlawful detainment.

Thank you for standing up for your constitutional rights. Positive it was a hastle. You were respectful to LE. When the suspect was located, that should have been the end of it. I am wondering what the outcome will be. I bet they almost fainted when you said you were armed.

I don't miss Belfair. That's for sure.

@gvenglar I was not holding up traffic, the police were. I just wanted to leave. The police could have made this situation easier for everyone if they would have used real policing skills and limited their actions to those outline in our state constitution.

Why did they seize their property and take it to a different location?

@tigerlaker If you're willing to give up your liberties and freedoms for temporary protection, then you deserve neither. Those aren't my words, those are from Benjamin Franklin. The police are legally allowed to lie to you to get what they want, so you saying that they don't want to look for drugs or anything else is naive. "...any lawyer worth his salt will tell the suspect in no uncertain terms to make no statement to the police under any circumstances." Robert H. Jackson

stupid is as stupid does. If your mother, sister or daughter got shot wouldn't you want them to check every car to try to find the shooter. All they wanted to do is look inside the van to make sure the shooter wasn't in there. They don't want to check your van for drugs. They don't have time to search threw your shit. They just wanted to LOOK! Good job Mason County Sheriff's

@gvenglar Your funny he wasn't drinking at all. I know the guy. I can guarantee he didn't have a sip of alcohol. Belfair is full of inbreds anyhow.

@Springer228 First of all, I only commented on which road this was on. I wasn't pulled over or in this video. If it were me in this case I would've let them look. But where do Americans or Tax payers as you put it, draw the line on our rights being infringed upon? Congress are signing bills left and right that suspend our constitutional rights. Just sayin'...

@parris6669~there are only those 2 roads at the intersection. The only way out of Sandhill is to drive back up to the area where the shooting took place.This is very rural area & was an easy stop. Obstructing justice is NOT a right... and even though you have rights as an American there are other Americans who also pay the taxes that you wasted, by failing to comply with the deputies request. Us tax payers should have the right to sue idiots who interfer in crime scene investigations
