He kept wanting to see our ID. We refused. We said, ‘Why should we show you our ID — are you arresting us?’; so we walked back into the house and closed the door.”
In most states (perhaps all) if a LEO investigating a crime asks for your ID you are required to produce it.
When the Kuhns retreated in to there home and locked the door it constituted fleeing and resisting arrest.
Thank you. Finally.
This thread was racing off into moonbat heaven.
They were not being arrested at that point, so I don't think resisting applies.
Were they suspected of a felony? It is my understanding that warantless entries are only authorized in acute emergencies (hostages, shootings, etc.), and in pursuit of a fleeing felony suspect.
I do not like the folks with the flag, and I find myself hating the Gestapo tactics even more. These are the same type of scumbag cops who drive around in unmarked radar cars. They want to be secrete police.
Your papers please, indeed.
I know the supporters of the Gestapo tactics will say, if you do nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from them. Baloney they will get the quota one way or another. I do hate the Gestapo in their hidden cars. I do not have a problem with real cops out solving crimes and helping people.
Your papers please, sheesh.
In most states (perhaps all) if a LEO investigating a crime asks for your ID you are required to produce it.
Correct me if wrong?
Under the new, Homeland Security Act, if an officer of the law requires an ID from some-one, they are to present it to the officer.
What do you base all this on? Did you read what the witnesses stated?
