This is the official comment Officer Vinci sent to me for posting to the
list.
He knew when he sent it to me that I paned to re-post it to the lists, so I
am leaving his email attached.
If you reply to him I would strongly encourage you to remember the point of
this thread, BE FFRIENDLY!
Many of us have dealt with "cop" mentality, and unfortunately it tends to
create a brush that is used on all police ?persons?.
Don't add to the brush created here, in reference to MV owners.

Subject: arrest of individual driving armored vehicle
The individual was arrested on Sat. June 9, 2001 not because he was
operating around on city streets in an MA Greyhound armored vehicle. It was
for the fact that the vehicle was being operated around without proper
registration & valid insurance. When the arrestee was being questioned
about not having the proper paperwork, he became upset with the police
officer & became verbally abusive. His passenger. Which turned out to be
his daughter was also verbally abusive to the officer. Both dad & daughter
were charged with breach of peace for their actions after the officer was
questioning them about the expired tags. There was a few hundred residents
walking nearby on the boardwalk. The incident took place near a beach
boardwalk that usually sees 1000's of residents everyday. this particular
day (June 9, 2001) was an exceptionally beautiful day, which brought out
more than the usual amount that day. The West Haven Police Dept. is not in
the practice of picking on or harassing collectors of military vehicles or
any other collectors. The vehicle was not legally registered & the owner
could not show proof of insurance for the vehicle. Then the individual
made matters worse, when he started to act up to the officer in front of the
already large crowd that had gathered.
