I agree with Jim...I wouldn’t have lied to the LE. That gives them reason to mess with you. If he’d been in the street, he’d been perfectly within his rights.
Maybe he was nervous about the cops and he initially lied to them because he had reason to fear they might assault him or violate his rights...
... oh wait a sec...
I think in retrospect he would agree with you. If you listen to the video, (which I hope you have) you will here that he believed that he told the cop that he lived there. He was just nervous... Wonder why?
He subsequently told Officer Colling twice that he did live there. Do you think the officer acted appropriately in this situation?
If he'd been in the street, he'd been perfectly within his rights.
Are you saying that he was NOT within his rights in this situation?
He was within his rights whether he was in the street, on his own property, or on someone else's property. Do you say otherwise?
