The man had a right to be there and the cop has the right to patrol and slow down or stop near any home he wants to.
Does anyone know the taper’s backstory? I have no problem with him taping the police, but a cop slowing down near my home does not seem at all suspicious or ominous to me. He seemed rather paranoid about it. He also made some comment to the cop about what the cops had done to his family. I wonder what that was all about.
” right to patrol and slow down or stop near any home he wants to”
Right, but before doing something like, let’ say, approaching someone and telling them to take some action, they FIRST need to state why they are asking this.
UNLESS, there’s an imminent threat present, which there wasn’t.
Critical context here is that the cop created this situation. He was not responding to any call or complaint.
