San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department To Cough Up $500,000 For Wrongful Arrest

Just wants to check him out. That right there is the issue, he has no right and by doing so the cop is actually breaking the law. What legal reason did he have to other than “ he wanted to” ?

 

it’s like the deputy was just looking for a crime to put on him.. that’s not how the law is written…some of these gung ho cops need to find another profession

 

I know the reasons why they do things and with all the others aside most of this type crap is nothing to do with pay, revenue but rather some a hole with a badge on a power trip.

Your last thought, is what I was thinking about. Why do we as a society accept it?

 

And I just want to win the lottery. Your point?

The cop can ask for identification but unless the person is in a vehicle in public roads they have no obligation to give any identification. We don't live in Soviet Russia and "paper please!" isn't something that any lawful American should ever put up with.

It's so sad there are people out there that are such boot licking toadies that even when proven in a court of law the officers did wrong, they still get support. After all, it was proven it was the officer breaking the law, not the citizen that was just making a delivery and not bothering anyone.

 

sometimes people have just had enough........I don't even understand why there was an encounter to begin with.......

You're walking out of a store with some muffins and a random cop rolls up and says, "what are you doing?"
What is an appropriate response?
"Taking muffins to your wife. In the meantime go .... yourself."
