The man who killed a Police Officer in Red Bluff, CA claims immunity because he was incorporated.

Hello Everyone, my name’s Andy. I killed a Police Officer in Red Bluff, California in a motion to bring attention to, and halt, the police-state tactics that have come to be used throughout our country. Now I’m coming forward, to explain that this killing was also an action against corporate irresponsibility.

All of the major problems in America and throughout the world today are caused by corporate irresponsibility. ....

New Hampshire police corner suspected California cop killer

DAVID TIRRELL-WYSOCKI, Associated Press Writer Tuesday, November 26, 2002

(11-26) 07:24 PST CONCORD, N.H. (AP) --

A man suspected of killing a police officer in Red Bluff, Calif., last week was cornered in a downtown hotel Tuesday morning, and FBI agents were trying to talk him into surrendering.

The FBI called city police at 2:19 a.m. EST and told them the suspect, Andrew McCrae, 23, was staying in a fourth-floor room at the Holiday Inn, said Lt. George Pangakis. The suspect also uses the alias Andrew Mickel, he said.

A tactical team arrived around 6 a.m. and the fourth floor of the hotel was evacuated, Pangakis said. About 7:30 a.m., FBI negotiators, speaking to McCrae by phone, tried unsuccessfully to get him to leave the room, said Police Chief Jerry Madden.

McCrae is accused of fatally shooting Red Bluff officer David Mobilio a week ago, while Mobilio was putting gas in his cruiser. Mobilio was shot once in the head.

In one of two letters posted to a Web site Monday by a man identifying himself as Andrew McCrae, the writer claimed he shot and killed the officer to protest "police-state tactics" and corporate irresponsibility.

The writer also claimed he is immune from prosecution because he incorporated himself. Corporations are shielded from personal liability for a corporation's debts.

McCrae's letter said he had incorporated in New Hampshire. The incorporation papers, filed at the Secretary of State's office Nov. 7, list a corporate address in Olympia, Wash. The contact phone number listed for McCrae was not answered Tuesday morning.

Madden said McCrae told them he did not have a weapon, but police had to assume otherwise.

Streets around the hotel were blocked off, slowing traffic throughout downtown. The hotel, one block from the Statehouse on Main Street, remained open.

Mobilio, 31, was found dead by a fellow officer after he did not respond to a call from a dispatcher in the early morning of Nov. 19.

Officer John Waelty found Mobilio beside his patrol car. His gun, with the safety off, was about 3 feet away. Mobilio was the first officer killed in the line of duty since Red Bluff was incorporated in 1876.

A memorial service for Mobilio in Red Bluff was scheduled for Tuesday.
