It must be in the rule book somewhere that you have to shave your head to be a state trooper these days.

It’s such a terrible look. People are already wary of cops and then here’s a bunch of guys with shaved heads and lemon squeezers going out into the world to interact with regular people.

Cop Fakes Story About 'Black Man' Shooting Him, So Fellow Cops Ransack Town, Kidnap Innocent Black People
Click to expand...

I actually have experienced something similar myself many years ago. My family and I were driving home on Christmas Eve night. Picked up a "tailgater" on a rural two lane road who followed me for a few miles. Once I got within the county line, he lit me up to verify I wasn't a fictional group of Hispanic men who had fictionally shot at a police officer. Luckily, we weren't subjected to gunpoint verification.

Cop Indicted for Making Up Shooting Story

Is it a law that if you're walking down the street and a cop ask for your ID you are required to give it? Can you be arrested if you don't?

Is there not a legal recourse to sue? Can one sue for punitive damages if the reasonable suspicion is determined unreasonable?

of course there is, but the anti-police people will fail to point out that the vast vast majority of all police detainments are legal which is why no one wins lawsuits against the police unless ACTUAL misconduct occurs, which is rare

Yeah right, define reasonable suspicion. Its anything you want it to be.

Reasonable suspicion is a legal standard of proof in United States law that is less than probable cause, the legal standard for arrests and warrants, but more than an "inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or 'hunch'"; it must be based on "specific and articulate facts", "taken together with rational inferences from those facts", and the suspicion must be associated with the specific individual. If police additionally have reasonable suspicion that a person so detained is armed and dangerous, they may "frisk" the person for weapons, but not for contraband like drugs. However, if the police develop probable cause during a weapons frisk (by feeling something that could be a weapon or contraband, for example), they can then search you. Reasonable suspicion is evaluated using the "reasonable person" or "reasonable officer" standard in which said person in the same circumstances could reasonably suspect a person has been, is, or is about to be engaged in criminal activity; it depends upon the totality of circumstances, and can result from a combination of particular facts, even if each is individually innocuous.

I'm no police hater, several really good friends who are cops, but I've seen a few instances where police didn't really have a reason to ask for ID but arrested because the person didn't present it. One case in particular a guy was taking pictures of a county building and some other stuff. It was cold outside so he had a mask on. He didn't produce ID and was arrested. He explained he was a journalist. I'll post a link....



In this case I think the cops overstepped and should be held accountable. The cops shouldn't have carte blanche to know who you are. That's what they do in China.

Who determines if an arrest was legal or not?
