Worley said she went down the road to talk. She said she didn’t threaten anyone, A lot missing from this story. She didn't threaten anyone...but what exactly did she say?

Guess she wants to be on the grid, just wants the power lines in someone else's back yard.
Power line have to be ran in order to support human life as we know it.
At least she will not have to worry about lice.

“A spokesperson for the Georgia Transmission Corporation told Channel 2 they had hired a deputy...”
How does he arrest someone if he’s working a side job?
To: Mark was here
“Guess she wants to be on the grid, just wants the power lines in someone else’s back yard.”
So she shouldn’t have a say on what happens to her property?
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
I’m sure it’s the usual - she was told to leave her own land by the deputy, she said no, and he decided to pull rank.
The question is, were eminent domain proceedings completed such that the power company had the right to be on her land ?

A cop is always on duty. That’s my understanding. The strip-search went too far though. Regardless of what she said, was she an imminent threat to the LEO?, to others? Did he suspect drugs? He better have a damn good reason.

“It’s just pure, old-fashioned intimidation. They want people’s land and they don’t want to pay for it,” said Worley's lawyer, Don Evans.
That's the money quote.

Apparently, the deputy was in the employ of the power company at the time of the incident. Doesn't sound good.

Interesting question. Another is, who is going to answer in damages under the doctrine of respondeat superior? The power company or the political subdivision the donut muncher theoretically works for when he isn't grifting on the side whilst wearing his uniform?

My point was....what little thing did this woman say to Barney Fyfe to get him so riled up?

A bit dramatic with the headline. She was strip-searched and deloused as part of the standard jail intake procedure. Now, should she have been in jail in the first place? That is where the real question lies. That Kerry jerk deserved to get tased and I’m sure he got strip-searched and deloused too ... did this woman offer similar resistance?

Late last year, a letter from the Georgia Transmission Corporation told her a 230 Kilovolt power line was going to go through her property.Doesn't seem like she much of an option.
I'm not familiar with these things, but I assume she was compensated financially for her property and the lose of it's use?

In New York bars often hire moonlighting cops as bouncers/security. You can guess at how many illegal activities they must overlook to do that work.
