Thanks for this analysis.
RE: application of the statute.
Read therein that denial of civil rights under color of law includes a coercion factor. If you feel /threatened to comply/ because the authority presenting himself before you has a weapon, you should include that information.
Note, what I have posted is not legal advice but my simple reading of the statute referenced. Some lawyers will, undoubtedly, not see this in the same manner.
My position is that having this information may answer any “false report” questions.
The bare words speak for themselves.
I have not thoroughly researched precedence and so far, there are few cases to cite as precedent.
I’m still digging.
