Can a cop order you to put out a ciggy while you are inside your home and he is on the outside of it?
A cop can only order you to put out a cig in your own home if your under detainment or arrest or your house is being searched (under consent or warrant) and the officer feels the cig can be used as a weapon or to alter/destroy evidence. If he just comes to the door to ask you about recent neighborhood crime then he can ask you to put it out, but can’t order you to since you are not detained or arrested. This lady WAS detained. That is the difference.
