Shotgun executive taken into custody at Colo. gun show

Post by JJVP »

Daniele Perazzi, president of the Italian Perazzi Shotguns firm, was taken into custody yesterday by Adams County Deputies [see update, below] along with several prototype shotguns. The executive was picked up in the parking lot of the Denver Merchandise Mart, hosting the high-end Colorado Gun Collectors show this weekend, after a taxi driver, likely reacting to a suspicious activity reporting outreach program conducted by law enforcement, told authorities he thought he could be transporting an armed “foreign speaking” terror suspect.
Schreiner attributes the cab driver’s reaction to training authorities have provided taxi companies, where they are encouraged to call law enforcement and report suspicious activities and people based on subjective criteria and limited training.

The CEO of a company gets two lawyers to represent him and press coverage. The average Joe would still be behind bars insisting he had done nothing wrong. Neither should have been detained.

In Texas that would get the cab driver and his company sued for malicious prosecution.

From the article:
“The cab driver notified law enforcement he suspected he had a terrorist in his cab, and they were waiting to intercept him
Gun Rights Examiner has reported several times on the dangers of law enforcement “terror” profiling to create suspicion for things as innocuous as shaving a beard, being a “prepper” and supporting the Constitution
Flabbergasted. LE agencies, the TSA, FBI and all the alphabet soups are afraid to profile for themselves, so they get a third party to do so and then simply "show up" to a citizen report of suspicious behavior.

I was wondering why the police that responded couldn't have figured all this out without arresting him or even taking him into custody. They go on the word of a cab driver?
