Heck, nobody has ever talked about the 2017-18 epidemic which was five times worse than the swine flu of 2009......959,000 hospitalizations, 79,416 deaths.
maybe you should go back to bed and get some sleep.
I was making a hypothetical.
I am surprised there wasn’t a dozen lawyers lined up at his front door (6 feet apart) of course
Quite the statement!
There are bad cops for sure, worse than the criminal element ?
Did some cops steal your candy when you were a kid ?
Bully cops
You gave no indication—zero, zilch, nada, none—that you were making a hypothetical.
We really need more FACTS on Free Republic, not idle chat or speculation. We’re not CNN...
Next time, label your stupid hypotheticals as stupid hypotheticals.
The rest of us are awake and looking for facts.
In most places purposely concealing your identity is a crime
Concealing identity consists of concealing one's true name or identity, or disguising oneself with intent to obstruct the due execution of the law or with intent to intimidate, hinder or interrupt any public officer or any other person in a legal performance of his duty or the exercise of his rights under the laws of the United States or of this state.
He may have a little culpability in his being detained if his attitude was 'go away I am not doing anything' with officers responding to a complaint.
Sometimes I wish I could reach through the internet and bitch slap people. This is one of those times.
It was clearly a hypothetical. I expect more intelligence from people on FR. You obviously don’t reach that level.
So, you can go shove your baby attitude where the sun doesn’t shine.
And maybe take a little breather from current events, go to a park, convert a little vitamin D. It will probably do your attitude some good.
We have lost our civil liberties at the hands of overzealous government politicians and bureaucrats thinking they know better than us when they don't.
I live and work on a 30 acre cattle farm and I leave my house every morning and violate the government rules all day long. Nobody's going to tell me I can't live my life as I please in a free country. It's not up to the government. It's up to me.
Screw them. It's a free country or so we thought.
Show me your papers. Seig Heil.
Yesterday cops cleared the park by me at Arlington. There had been small groups of families play soccer, golf, and baseball on an open field.
The soccer field is roped off with police tape and tennis / basketball courts are locked with nets taken off.
I walked my dogs around the field to see what the cops, who were still sitting in their cruisers, would do. They ignored me.
Bring it, you little fag.
I’ll pm you my address if you’d like.
Ok, bring it.
The guy’s lawyer should just tell them, “Sign the check and we’ll fill in the correct amount”.
As a close neighbor to the state of Colorado, I hasten to agree. Been there many,many times over the years & we always enjoyed our visits for various reasons, but now want to stay clear away from there. One reason is the legalization of marijuana.
They would have to shoot his dog first.
... and the apology.
Sorry we were filmed and got caught.
We won't make that mistake again.
In most places purposely concealing your identity is a crime
100% false.
Well, the silver lining is that the police chief quickly realized the overreach and didn’t try to equivocate.
I didn't say all places, just some. It is in my neck of the woods.
New Mexico Statutes 30-22-3. Concealing identity Current as of: 2018 | Check for updates | Other versions
Concealing identity consists of concealing one’s true name or identity, or disguising oneself with intent to obstruct the due execution of the law or with intent to intimidate, hinder or interrupt any public officer or any other person in a legal performance of his duty or the exercise of his rights under the laws of the United States or of this state.
Terms Used In New Mexico Statutes 30-22-3
Misdemeanor: Usually a petty offense, a less serious crime than a felony, punishable by less than a year of confinement.
Whoever commits concealing identity is guilty of a petty misdemeanor.
History: 1953 Comp., § 40A-22-3, enacted by Laws 1963, ch. 303, § 22-3.
The article clearly states the man refused to identify himself to officers dispatched to the scene because he 'felt' confident he had done nothing wrong. The officers when on a call by the public are doing their jobs. It most surely falls into the statute 'intent to obstruct the due execution of the law or with intent to intimidate, hinder or interrupt any public officer'. The police are bound to investigate a complaint by citizens of a possible breach of the law, And yes, part of the investigation is identifying those on the scene. The man was not arrested or booked or jailed according to the article, he was 'detained' at the scene and probably handcuffed when his refusal to identify caused officers to secure him to determine why the refusal. For all they knew he may have warrants active. If he would have stated his name when asked it would have gone differently.
I was a patrolman for years and had countless people conceal their identity for many reasons.
