And, if you read my sources, the Supreme Court disagrees with you. You seem to champion chaos, and chaos never leads you to order. The police are charged to promote Law and Order, not Law and Chaos.

If you don’t like the law, work to overturn it. I like this law, as it can be used to champion the cause of “good”. Here illegally? Wanted on a prior conviction? Bail jumper?

Don’t like it? Then I’d suggest you stay away from the states that have these laws on the books. But, this power does, and should, reside with the state.

I am working on it in my state. Police aree charged with nothing they have no duty to do anything. Do not believe that they are out for anything but themselves (the force not individual officers) and the state. I find anything that infringes on my rights as a bad thing.

Additionally the police had a crime to detain him on so they should have charged him with that, they did not need the stop and identify, they had a crime (tresspassing).
