Georgia Couple Accused of 'Stalking' Cop They Caught Speeding
Thursday, February 15, 2007
A Georgia couple appeared before a judge Wednesday to answer charges that they allegedly stalked a police officer whom they caught speeding in their neighborhood.
Lee and Teresa Sipple set up a $1,200 system of video cameras and radar outside their home to catch speeders driving through their Bartow County neighborhood, the Cartersville Daily Tribune reports.
The couple clocked Kennesaw police officer Richard Perrone allegedly speeding 17 miles over the speed limit, the Daily Tribune reported.
When the couple called police, they were informed that Perrone would be pressing charges against the couple for stalking.

Was the cop on duty in a marked patrol vehicle? Was he responding to a call? Even if lights wern't flashing, he could be responding to a domestic where you approach with out lights so you don't give away your location.
What time of day / night? Anyone else speeding or just him? Was he in personal vehicle? What are the applicable state laws about recording devices for uninvolved 3rd parties? Are they legal with out being announced (sign saying premise

At the most, they are guilty of using a stand.
I hope they sue the officer and the county for malicious prosecution and take every $$.
