Fucking 'tards, being a helicopter parent is one thing, but this is so over the top it's more like being an Apache gunship.

Hmm... that analogy is a bit Martyesque, but you know what I mean.

Police: Attorney couple plants drugs on PTA leader in dispute over their son

By Louis Casiano, msnbc.com

A California couple unhappy with the PTA president at their son's elementary school took an unusual approach to rectify their problem, police say.

Kent and Jill Easter, both 38 and attorneys, were arrested Tuesday in Irvine after being accused of planting drugs in the car of Plaza Vista School PTA president Kelli Peters because they believed she was not properly supervising their son, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Both are charged with one felony count of conspiracy to procure false arrest and charging, false imprisonment, and conspiracy to report a false crime.

Irvine police said Kent Easter drove to Peters' home in February and planted a bag of marijuana, along with a pipe and prescription pills in the backseat of her unlocked car.

He then called police under a false name a little while later and said that the woman had been driving erratically near their son's school and claimed to see her put the drugs in the car's backseat.

Police arrived at the school and saw the drugs in plain view inside the car, and then contacted Peters, who was inside. After consenting to a search of her car, she said the drugs weren't hers and denied knowing where they came from.

After detaining her for two hours, police determined she was in a classroom at the time the call was made to police.

Peters then consented to a search of her home.

Investigators saw nothing in the home to support drug use or possession, so they began investigating whether the drugs had been planted.

After further investigation, police said, they determined that Easter made the call from a hotel near where he worked and was recorded on the hotel video surveillance system.

They say Easter was in constant contact with his wife during the incident.

The incident goes back to 2010 when Easter filed a civil complaint with the Orange County Superior Court alleging that his son, who was in first grade at the time, was in an after-school tennis program when Peters locked him out of the school for 19 minutes, the Times reported.

The newspaper reported that when Jill Easter asked why Peters locked the child out, Peters said that he took too long to line up with the other children and it was too hard to wait for him.

The paper reported that a tennis instructor found the child crying and trying to open the door to the building.

Jill Easter then filed a restraining order against Peters alleging that she was harassing Easter's son and had threatened her, the Times reported. The civil case was dismissed and the request for the restraining order was denied.

Kent Easter is a member of the state bar association and Jill Easter was admitted in 1998, but her license has expired.

  I see the repeated beatings have finally begun to sink in.

Fucking 'tards, being a helicopter parent is one thing, but this is so over the top it's more like being an Apache gunship.

Given how successfully it went, I'd say it's more like a Hind anyway.

What a fisaco. And they're both attorneys!     So I guess, besides the prison term they'll serve, or should serve, they can kiss their attorney licenses good bye no matter if they serve time in prison or not. And there will be no one to "gunship" over their kid while they're in jail!

and your qualified to judge them.

Cool, so two new job openings.

[Caliga]

And they're both attorneys! 

Yeah, that's surprising since attorneys are typically paragons of morality.

Heh. What's wrong with the Hind?

It was a hind that finally crushed most of the Wolverines.

I've never seen that one.

It has hinds and wolverines but I never seen it? What's the catch?

They were Hollywood mock-ups...while probably supposed to be Hinds, really didn't look like Hinds at all.

Edit: Evidence!

Yes, I've built the models.  BUt it was still a hind.

Looks similar to a Hind-A, before they redesigned the cockpit.

The problem with Hinds, iirc, was that they were supposed to do too much, and as a result were neither a good troop carrier nor an especially effective gunship, and rather bad indeed at anti-tank operations and awful in the (entirely fictional, but I'm pretty sure I saw serious people write about it) helicopter air superiority role.  Still, it was still probably the second best in the gunship role in the world, and ultimately their downfall was sophisticated MANPADS handed out like candy by bad U.S. governments to overseas moral abominations.

Maybe I'm making a lot of this up.  Don't care.  I mean, it's technically an aircraft, and thus in my ambit, but I'm no longer as excited about helicopters as I was in my youth. Can it lay waste a city?  Then why did they bother to put it in the sky?
