Same here... And here is the problem. Most municipalities consider right of ways and property “setbacks” to be public access all he way up to your front door, including your front porch. So this gives LE legal authority to act as they do on public property even though it should be private.
Notice he did not arrest him up on the porch and made him come down off the porch before arresting him? Bet in that county your front porch is indeed considered private property and not public access.
Without a warrant he had no legal authority to ask questions, Ask for ID, or arrest him while on the porch. And he knew it. Be just like coming in your home and doing the same. Or through an open window into your home.
This was a perfect example of why so many do not like or trust cops. I like the part where after all this, the cops didn’t even bother to show up for the court date.
In other words, they harass the sh*t out of him, then cuff him, put him in a cage, yet the cops don’t even show up for their court date. I find this part totally outrageous.
