On Sunday, Brett Darrow filmed a Saint Louis Metropolitan Police Department cruiser staking out his home.
The patrol car drove away as Darrow started his car and followed. Because his camera had been set to capture night-time footage, the first 45 seconds of the video is obscured. It does, however, capture the police car making questionable turning maneuvers in order to get away. Members of the police community are on the record regarding their desire to stake out Darrow’s home and harass the twenty-year-old. In late June, users of St. Louis CopTalk, an unofficial forum for Saint Louis area law enforcement, posted Darrow’s home address along with messages containing apparent death threats in retaliation for the young motorist’s taping of a DUI roadblock in November and a traffic ticket in June. One CopTalk user repeating the address wrote, “Every copper, City and County, should etch this little punks [sic] name in their [sic] memory. Brett Darrow, [address deleted], city of St. Louis.” (View screen capture of post)
Last month I posted about this. I had been hearing about this post and the stalking but here is a bit more evidence. Darrow really needs to be quicker on the camera though. It’s really disgusting. The original cop actually got fired which is good but the fact that these others have no problem following this guy around and staking our his home is scary. I’m curious as to what will be said on the cop forums after this story.
