Police: Grandmother Arrested At McDonald's Drive-Thru For Not Pulling Car Forward

I was thinking the same way. I'm not sure if this is true anymore. It might be by State. I actually started looking up the laws here in Indiana and the police do have jurisdiction in parking lots and buinesses here in Indiana. In fact the business and police can authorize civilain "volunteers" to enforce laws in parking lots. I know along time ago this was not the case, sometime along the way the laws were rewritten here in Indiana.

I still would like to to know if the cop was just abusing is power as a police officer because he was in line, or was there something more to this.

Here's the question I have. If this cop was in the wrong and he really didn't ahve a right to confront this lady, is she still responsible for not showing her ID and registration to the officer? Did she escualte the situation, or was the entire incident unlawful and she was just protecting herself?

 

I didn't know they apologized to her. Where did you find that information. If this cop was in line and thought he deserved some special treatment because he's a cop, I hope they don't think an apology is going to make it right.

Here's a situation I had one time. My wife and I lived in Evansville, In. at the time. We where driving down lloyd expressway to goto a restruant. A sheriff deputy was behind us, in heavy traffic, whipped his crusier around us and in front of us. Then pulled into the turn lane and whipped back into driving lane on the highway in front of some other cars, and stopped at the stop light. Someone honked at the deputy. At that same time we were driving by in the turn lane. He thought it was us. We parked at the resturant and he followed us into the parking lot and rolled down his window. He asked why did I honk at him, I told him I didn't, it was someone else. He then started telling me about some law about honking horns or something, I just stood there as he explained this me and then he rolled up the window and left. I was thinking, I should have honked because he was driving like a nut. Why was he driving like that? Obviously he wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere, because he followed me into the parking lot to ask me why I honked my horn. If you're driving like that to go somewhere, would you take the time to find out if someone honked at you? I just let it go, I just thought it was kind of funny.
