NH Police Beclown Themselves Following World's Dumbest Arrest

<p>Today on Legalese, we continue my ongoing series <em>&quot;Ignorance of the Law&quot;</em> where I expose the fact that while politicians and police are often quick to tell people ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking the law, it&#39;s often an excuse for making and enforcing the law.</p> <p>We discuss the North Hampton, New Hampshire police department, where several officers and the police chief beclowned themselves following an especially absurd arrest.</p> <p>But this incident is only the latest in a disturbing trend of North Hampton police officers overstepping their prerogative to the extreme.</p> <p>In October of 2022, a medical emergency led to an auto accident that ended on the front lawn of North Hampton resident Colleen Loud, 67, who had been in her home watching a baseball game. Ms. Loud did not know the driver, had nothing to do with the accident that occurred; and in fact, had not even been aware the accident had occurred until police officers arriving on the scene would question her about the incident.</p> <p>During this encounter, North Hampton police followed the standard protocol of turning an innocent witness into a victim of the officer’s own making. What followed was a series of events leading to the eventual arrest of Ms. Loud on such a mind-bogglingly absurd basis, its hard to believe this was a real news story and not a satirical take on modern policing you might find in <em>The Onion</em> or <em>The Babylon Bee.</em></p> <p>Unfortunately for Colleen Loud, it was all too real and she was the victim of what I believe is the dumbest arrest ever made.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Original Source:<br><a href="https://nhjournal.com/north-hampton-chief-leaves-after-investigation-into-questionable-arrest/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">&quot;North Hampton Chief Leaves After Investigation Into Questionable Arrest&quot;</a><br>By: Damien Fisher<br>Published by: NHJournal</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW</strong></p> <ul> <li><p><a href="https://legaleseshow.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Sh
