A police chief was detained and harassed by federal agents while
traveling to a constitutional convention before returning home to
be told he was being placed on administrative leave and ordered
to disband his police department after signing a pledge to uphold
the bill of rights.
Police Chief Shane Harger of the Jemez Springs, NM Police
Department was flying out of Albuquerque Airport last week on
his way to a Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association
(CSPOA) convention taking place in Las Vegas. CSPOA is an
organization headed up by Sheriff Richard Mack under which law
enforcement officers gather to re-affirm their commitment to uphold
and defend the Constitution.
Before passing security, Harger was approached by a TSA agent
who asked the police chief to show his credentials. Moments later,
a man claiming to be a “federal agent” also asked to see Harger’s
credentials before telling him he was a “person of interest.”
The federal agent then demanded to know where Harger was traveling
to and why. When Harger told the federal agent he was attending the
Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association Convention in
Las Vegas, he was detained for 35 minutes before finally being allowed
to board the airplane. On Tuesday January 28, a day after his return,
Harger was placed on administrative leave and ordered by Sandoval
County, NM, Sheriff Douglas C. Wood to disband his entire police
department due to his “political affiliations”. What were his political
affiliations? While attending the convention, Harger, along with 38
other police officers, signed a declaration affirming their pledge to
“obey and observe” the U.S. Constitution, in addition to refusing to
carry out unconstitutional orders such as gun confiscation without
constitutionally compliant warrants, violations of the 4th amendment
without probable cause, detainment or incarceration of citizens
without probable cause, or working with the military for domestic law
enforcement. In other words, Harger was targeted for federal harassment
and subsequently suspended for re-affirming his belief in the very
Constitution he took an oath to uphold and protect in order to become
a police officer in the first place. “Despite having received a meritorious
commendation from the Mayor of Jemez Springs on January 22, 2014,
it seems that no one in the village government is willing to come to the
assistance of Harger. It appears that Harger’s stance to defend and
uphold the Constitution has put him and his entire department of ten
part-time and volunteers out of business,” writes Vincent Finelli.
“I was at the convention and I never saw nor heard anyone say nor do
anything that was a violation of any law. The CSPOA convention was
an assembly of peace-loving Americans who just wanted to uphold their
oath of office, that being to support and defend the US Constitution and
Bill of Rights for all of us, We The People,” adds Finelli. Harger’s
treatment is yet another disturbing indication that the federal government,
in addition to law enforcement authorities, view Americans who support
the bill of rights as domestic extremists. Harger’s position as Chief of Police
also shows that they are desperate to prevent citizens who identify as
constitutionalists, tea partiers or libertarians from holding any position of
influence within law enforcement or society in general. Harger’s potential
dismissal for his patriotic and constitutional “political affiliations” is a chilling
reminder that such positions are not only not welcomed but actively
discriminated against by the federal government.
