Raymond Zachary Paquette of Westhampton, MA posted "F— cops" on his Facebook timeline. I know, you're thinking, "So what, people post that all the time."  Thing is, on Thursday, March 12th, 2015 Raymond was sentenced by a Judge to a suspended 2½-year term in the Hampshire County House of Correction following his conviction on two counts of misleading police. How did Raymond mislead police? By saying twice that he didn't witness a fight that took place in his kitchen. Raymond was also placed on probation for two years and ordered him to speak at schools, avoid drugs and alcohol, stay away from the victim of the bottle attack, undergo a mental health evaluation, and comply with any recommended treatment.

This all seems pretty standard but before we get into why Raymond posted, "Fuck cops" on his Facebook timeline, the readers should take the time to note that it's better to NOT answer any police questions than say anything at all. Had Raymond simply said, "I don't not talk to police" during the investigation into the fight instead of, "I didn't see anything," then this next part probably would have never happened. Not to say that Raymond should be punished for what he did say, just that you don't want to give the police an opportunity like this to throw the book at you. Especially, when it seems the police have it out for you, like in Raymond's case.
