Then 10 minutes later, said shitbag gets into his vehicle and plows into another vehicle that has your wife and kids in it, killing them all. Would you have given the video voluntarily if you knew that would be prevented? The answer is yes P.S. Private property or not, if a law enforcement officer is acting on offical duty and actively investigating a crime, he has every right to be on that property until he has concluded said investigation. He could have told the mayor to fuck off and he would leave when he was through with his investigation and there is not one single thing the mayor could’ve done about it.
