>>Secondly, it doesn’t matter where she was, th officer gave her a lawful order and her failure to comply allowed the cop to arrest her.<<
No, you are demonstrably wrong on that.
First, you said she could be hauled in with no charges. Well, it turns out she WAS charged with a crime, a bogus charge:
“Second Degree Obstruction of Governmental Administration”
The DA said there was no evidence to support the arrest.
So your bullcrap about how the arrest was “justified” just flew out the window. You lost. You are wrong. You don’t have a leg to stand on.
And all your yammering about how the cop was in the right is worthless.
All you can do is project what “might have happened” if the stars had aligned just right, or what someone “might have been thinking” or something the woman “might have said.”
But guess what? That’s not how it works in America. We have laws, and we have rights. Deal with it.
Have a nice day.
I didn’t say the cop didn’t charge her with anything, I know he did. I only said that you can be arrested and held up to 24 hours without being charged with a crime and you can be.
If the cop has given a lawful order, you can be charged for failing to follow. Yes, you can be arrested.
