65 Delmar Avenue Framingham, MA 01701 June 18, 2008 Officer Gregory Reardon 1 William Welch Way Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Mr. Reardon Unfortunately, I cannot thank you for stopping me during my morning walk on June 15, 2007 without probable cause. You claimed that you stopped me on a wellness check. Can you define a law that permits you to stop someone on this basis? I was wondering if you might be aware that there is no legal requirement for anyone to identify themselves when asked by the police? You asked me about 6-7 times for identification. When you stopped me, were you not holding me against my will while you repeatedly asked me for ID? You stated that you did not want to be recorded. Why not? Are you truly afraid of what it is you say? Are you not sufficiently professional in your duties? You clearly overheard Sergeant Esposito's comments to me when I was being booked. Did you note any of her remarks in any of your documentation of my arrest? Would you be interested in discussing your police tactics in a public forum? Or would you prefer to hide behind your police badge? Alternatively, we could discuss the issues before the Framingham Board of Selectman. If you are so confident of your skills as an experienced law enforcement officer, you should not any trepidations on discussing your tactics in a public forum like a local cable TV show. Would you like to debate the issues of freedom and the Constitutional rights we all have, probable cause, etc. versus Framingham police tactics of bogus charges? In essence, will you stand by your comments (in the recording) in a public forum? I'd like to engage you in a public debate on this arrest. The issues would be probable cause and whether one has to provide identity. We can also discuss the appropriateness of Sergeant Esposito's comments during my booking. You patted down my genitalia three times all together. Did you enjoy doing that? Are you gay? Would you care to explain why you apologized to me for arresting me? Why would you apologized to someone you just arrested for assaulting and battering you? I do not accept apologies from those whose actions were taken with malice and intent. Did you take the SATs in high school? What scores did you get in the math and verbal parts? Sincerely yours, Harold J. Wolfe |
