I do not claim nefarious. I just wonder how a totally false report enables my rights to be suspended, even in this relatively trivial matter.
You don’t know that it was a false report, do you? Is there someone in the neighborhood who would want to cause a problem for you? If not, you just unfortunately fit the description provided.
In most areas, a person walking through the neighborhood, looking in cars parked curbside (I assume) would be viewed with suspicion. I’d wonder if that person was looking to break in and steal something. Wouldn’t you?
Well, an investigation has to take place before the other guy’s report can be determined to be ‘totally false’ doesn’t it? Relax, let it go. The best thing that will happen as a result of your letter is that the chief will ignore it, the worst is that the cops will paint a target on you. The cop received a suspicious person call and checked it and you out. No biggie...JFK
Okay—this raises a question for me: If you were the person walking down the street and the cop stopped you—and you were armed, are you obligated to tell him that. I know you are under obligation to tell the officer you are armed if he stops you while driving.......but I’ve never heard this scenario discussed.
“a totally false report enables my rights to be suspended”
The 2006 Duke Lacrosse Team continues to ask that very same question.
