QuoteN.J. cop: 'If Obama doesn't follow Constitution, we don't have to'
A New Jersey police officer has been caught on camera telling a resident he couldn't film inside a public building because President Obama has "decimated" the Constitution and the police force doesn't have to follow it anymore.
Special Police Officer Richard Recine is now the subject of an internal affairs investigation after the video leaked online and went viral. Police Director Robert Manney, who is also seen in the video and had the resident escorted from the building, called Officer Recine's comments an "embarrassment," The Courier News reported.
In the video taken Monday, resident Steve Wronko is trying to explain to Officer Recine that he has a constitutional right to record inside the Helmetta municipal building.
"I don't really care about all that, because Obama has decimated the friggin' Constitution," Officer Recine responds. "So I don't give a damn, because if he doesn't follow the Constitution we don't have to."
A shocked Mr. Wronko turns to the camerawoman to make sure she got the quote on camera.
"Yeah did you get that? Our president has decimated the Constitution," the officer repeats.
Mr. Manney, who appears later in the video and has Mr. Wronko escorted from the building, called Officer Recine's words "uncalled for and unprofessional."
"I've already spoken to that officer in regards to that. In my opinion it's an embarrassment," he said Wednesday, The Courier News reported.
Mr. Manney said police have the right to ask citizens to identify themselves in a public building.
"He was in our building and he got some of our employees upset," he said about Mr. Wronko. "They were worried because they've seen him before lurking around. In my opinion he was looking for an issue."

Does he ride in the "short police car"? :hmm:
I don't recall it being in the Constitution that if the President doesn't follow it the whole system of laws in void. Granted since it is void that section wouldn't apply anyway.
By the way this settles it:
New Jersey > Connecticut.

Maybe. He's probably already part of union like Joe the Plumber who's now's really more Joe of the United Auto Workers.
