According to Daniel Saulmon, Scott Swain is no stranger to violence when he shot and killed a man with down syndrome for holding a screwdriver. Mr. Saulmon recently was harassed and charged with two felonies for recording Swain.
In a stunning YouTube video, Saulmon obtained back the recording and the facts speak for themselves.
According to Saulmon,
“You can hear him in this recording doing what he can to sweet talk me out of details in an attempt to find information to protect his fellow officers. Once I give him every detail of information I have, he is through with me. He steals my audio recorder and charges me with 2 felony counts of eavesdropping…632 pc If recording the police was a crime, I wouild have more counts against me then 2. But its not a crime, and I still will gladly go to jail for it, because as a viewer commented, it seems to flesh out corrupt officers who seek to retaliate against innocent people for no lawful reason. Officers who may not be fit for police work. No wonder I have seen lies in the media, Swain is the “bold faced liar” writing those stories. I asked him to do something positive recently after a cyclist was killed by another department. I suggested his department lead the way and create policy before they kill someone too. He said, “naah, I like my officers to have discretion rather then a policy saying what to do.”
That is not surprising, as a Rookie Swain killed a retarded guy who was well known to the department…he allegedly had a screwdriver in his hand. Wouldn’t want good old policy around to spoil good times now would we Swain.
At any rate, this recording is at least 7 years old, but based on my recent arrest on 11-9-2012, the only thing that has changed are a few names. Couple guys retired, like Jester, and Royer. They did return my video camera and bicycle some 9 days after I was bailed out of jail. Interesting that those items were only kept as “evidence” for about 15 days this time before they returned them.
This is not something that only happened to me by the way. Many people around the country have been charged with the crime of eavesdropping for trying to file a complaint with a recorder. It is a well known fact that it is illegal to do so, arrest that is not record. You can always record police, no matter what they say to the contrary. If they are doing nothing wrong, they have nothing to hide, right?”
