Bob vs Bob 7.0

Bob #1:
"I broke no laws with the odometer deal."

Bob #2:
"An ex Franklin cop, one of our drivers, is the one that told me it was illegal and he brought me the same legal stuff posted at your site."

"Using it to shut off an odometer was illegal."

"I wonder what the statute of limitations is on something like this"

That's real smart. Ask an ex-cop if something you're doing is illegal.

That's akin to asking your neighbor if it is wrong for you to be touching his 7 year old son's private areas.

If the Statute of Limitations for stupidity was only one day, Bob would be at constant risk of being prosecuted for it.

LEGAL BEAGAL said...

Bob fails to understand that ignorance of the law is not a defense for breaking it. For example, claims that he did not know the girl, or boy for that matter, was 14 is not a defense against child molesting.

Not knowing the device was illegal is not a valid defense. Coupled with the fact that Bob states he was then told it was illegal further brings his statements into question. That puts Bob's premise on shaky ground even from a defense standpoint. While not exactly a confession, it gives credence that he knew damn well what he was doing was wrong.

The sale or offering to sell devices designed to tamper with an automobiles odometer are in violation of state law in all 50 states and also a violation of the United States Criminal Code. Because Bob offered these devices for sale on the internet, it also falls under a Federal Statute regarding intrastate commerce of illegal devices.

I am not sure why the Feds handed this over to the state unless Bob sold one of these devices within the State of Indiana. I suppose that is likely in this matter.

The federal government charging him with violations of the HIPPA statutes would be fairly easy to prove since he A.) admitted to being in a facility that housed medical records. B.) photographed the medical records C.) looked at the medical records in violation of privacy statutes determining there origin and the subject matter.

The HIPPA violations are federal, not state, so the prosecutors assertion that Bob broke no state laws is accurate in the context discussed.

The best advice for Bob Freeman would be to get off of the internet now and close his mouth about these matters. Everything he says, does, posts or whatever, even anonymously, can and will likely be used against him in court. It is illegal for him to destroy his hard-drive or any materials as may be subject to this case.

HERES WHY: Whomever posted the comment about the investigation was savvy in the sense that the statement effectively "told" Bob of a pending investigation. If he now destroys any potential evidence, that is also a violation of Federal Law regardless of the source. I suspect this was a clever tactic by the prosecution.

Good luck Bob. You will need some legal advice.

What Bob needs is to pack his toothbrush, and kiss his dog goodbye.

This should make his wife secretly pleased.

Bob should also understand that selling pipes to smoke Meth is illegal also.

Just sayin... said...

Interesting points. Bob might want to seek a plea deal on the state charges regarding the odometer device. If he actually sold one though in Indiana, the prosecutor may not agree to a plea. As for the fed charges, he is likely just screwed. It's hard to deny something that you published and brought attention to.

Doctor Phyllis said...

The smartest lawyer for Bob would be one that told Bob to keep his mouth shut.
Bob's mouth is, and always has been, his own worst enemy.
Maybe someday he will realize this.
Will a felony conviction convince him?
It's possible, but not probable.

I WOULD GATHER FROM BOB'S MOST RECENT POSTS THAT HE HAS YET TO LAWYER UP. BOB'S TREMENDOUS EGO WILL BE HIS UNDOING. HOPE HE CAN GET A MORTGAGE ON THE SHACK OVER ON LILAC AND WHAT ABOUT BOB'S WIFE AND DOG, WHAT WILL THEY DO?

Hey Bob, he who laughs last, laughs best. Enjoy prison!

Phantom said...

Sadly, for many, even if Bob is convicted of the medical records snooping and/or the odometer device issue, it is not likely he will do any jail time. If he does, it will only be after his initial arrest, of which he will probably bond out immediately.

The only 'hope' anyone has of Bob being incarcerated for a significant period of time, is if he is in a courtroom and opens his mouth. A realistic possibility.

Judges don't like disrespect, or even the tiniest bit of arrogance in their courtroom.
Bob's arrogance will be difficult, if not impossible, for him to hide, and judges are notorious for making examples out of defendants who are not quiet and submissive.

Bob Freeman being quiet and submissive.
That would be believable only in a fairy tale.

Bon Voyage Bob.

Maybe Bob got picked up. I keep checking The Republic to see if he did.

Mercman said...

He's probably trying to explain his Internet antics, over the past several years, to his wife.
I'm sure she's totally oblivious to what Bob says on the Internet, and what he does on his computer.
Other than the Friday night dinner out with friends/relatives, they probably lead seperate lives.
Now he has to condense his computer life into an explanation to Mrs. Freeman, so she will at least half way understand why Bob is being cuffed, and let down his driveway against his will.
She will also need to know why authorities will be combing through their home, looking at, and confiscating, things that are personal and private.
The worm has turned, and the high-pitched sound you hear in the distance, is Bob Freeman weeping uncontollably, as his mind tries to wrap itself around why, and how, this could happen to such an outstanding citizen like him.

From Columscum-

Columbus, IN: Priscilla Scalf today announced her candidacy for Mayor of Columbus, IN.

She will have about as much success as Bob Freeman. These people just don't get it!

No one here with the exception of this previous "anonymous" post has EVER suggested harming Bob Freeman or anyone. This anonymous post is nothing but an internet troll trolling where he, she and/or it does not belong!

Thank you Dude. Bob pisses me off a lot of the time but he doesn't deserve that.

No one deserves that, not even fat old Bob but I, for one, cannot turn this into a love affair for Bob even for a nano-second LOL!

Rational Thought said...

Dude (NOT Jeff Barkes) > The culture of this blog speaks for itself. It has content that is consistent and, for the most part, legitimate. There is an abundance of humor and yes many posters are passionate in there dislike of Bob Freeman.

That being said, I have never heard anyone on here ever suggest physical harm to Bob Freeman. I have, however, watched posts by Bob Freeman ranting insanely that others be harmed. That's just who Bob is and it is very likely that the previous anonymous post (since deleted) is from one of his illiterate Bob-o-Bot's trying to get something going.

I don't know if the Feds are after Bob and I don't care. It's seems to me a bit far-fetched that word of a federal raid was leaked before the fact. You don't get evidence by tipping off the suspect.

That said, I find it amusing the person that has screamed so loudly for others to be prosecuted and thrown into jail is the one person we KNOW to have broken the law (odometer tampering). It's not even a "victimless" crime. The sole purpose of tampering with an odometer is to defraud another person. Having those devices means Bob Freeman intended to steal, or help others steal, from unsuspecting victims.

I wanted to say something about people in glass houses throwing stones. The real lesson is that nothing Bob Freeman says can be trusted. If he's willing to lie and steal to make a buck, imagine what he's capable of doing to get the attention and power it is so obvious he craves.

Well I've got news for him.....he'd better not even get close to my zipper!

I personally don't care whether the feds are after Bob or not. I would imagine that the mere suggestion has been enough to send him into a whirlwind, again!

Nothing Bob does is victim-less. The people of Columbus have been victimized by him for years. Whether it's next week, next year or 5 or 10 years from now, you can almost rest assured that Bob's demise will come in a courtroom or from some teen-agers father.

Bob is a despicable human being whose ego controls his gigantic mouth. Thanks for the entertainment Bob, now go F yourself.

"How sad that these hypocrites believe that they are true disciples of Jesus."

Words from the old prophet ad, not from Bob.

John Perry said...

Bob is a friend of mine. I came up with the odometer switch because I thought it was legal to manufacture or sell one but using one was illegal. If someone wanted to use one for illegal purposes that was their problem.
The first week Bobs friend showed us they were illegal to use, advertise or sell. So we stopped and never sold one. I know because I was the one that soldered them together. Bob simply helped.
Ads were made for a few websites and that ad you found must have been overlooked. We didn't receive a single order in the eight or nine years that ad was on.

Anonymous said...

Wow, I hope you used a fake name. If there is an investigation and trial let me know when you plan on testifying. I want to see everyone's face when you state 1) you thought it ok to manufacture and sell items intended to defraud as long as you didn't use them. and 2) you did this for 9 years before it even crossed your mind it might be illegal.

John Perry said...

That is not what I said.
We stopped the day we learned it was illegal to manufacture and sell them. This happened nine or ten years ago. We thought we pulled all the ads but one was found by someone here a few months ago still up. It has been cancelled now. We did not receive a single order in all that time.
I handcraft smoking pipes legally. Some buy them to smoke grass in illegally. Making them is legal. Using them is not.

John Perry said...

The product is available at any electrical supply place presently. It is a switch that shuts off a fuse.
Go press charges against NAPA. Many people make their own or they remove the fuse connected to the odometer.

Anonymous said...

Bad logic my friend. Your pipes have a legal use. Odometer tamper devices do not. The components may be sold at NAPA, its what you do with them that makes it illegal. You can buy all the stuff you need to make meth legally. Its how, and for what purpose, you put them together that makes it illegal.

John Perry said...

Switches for fuses have a legal use too. The use is what is illegal.

John & Anonymous, the feds have enough evidence to proceed and are content to let the judge decide. Have fun!

Dude said...

"Words from the old prophet ad, not from Bob."

Oops. My mistake.

Dude said...

"We stopped the day we learned it was illegal to manufacture and sell them."

Doesn't matter. You were advertising them which is against the law, and ignorance of the law is not a valid defense.

Dude said...

"Go press charges against NAPA."

NAPA didn't build the device. You and Bob did. NAPA didn't test the device. You and Bob did. NAPA didn't advertise the device. You and Bob did. Three strikes, you're out.

Dude said...

"Bob is a friend of mine."

If Bob gets arrested for the odometer device, you'll probably find out how good of a friend he really is. He'll probably try to blame you for the whole thing.

NAPA sells the switches.

According to CVS you can legally purchase 3.6g of psuedoephedrine per day. Although I doubt that will help you make many odometer tampering devices

And your point? NAPA didn't break the law, Bob did.
