So a police dispatcher (almost certainly NOT a law enforcement officer but rather a clerk) now has the authority to order me around? I didn’t realize that. Who do I see for my camp uniform and ticket?
The dispatcher most certainly does not have the authority to order anyone around. Not only that, even if a police officer, who was not on the scene and did not have all the facts told Zimmerman to not follow, that police officer would have a hard time making a case of “failure to obey the legal and lawful commands of a police officer.”
Zimmerman was doing ABSOLUTELY nothing legally wrong in following Martin.
