Actually it was his Mom's house. He tried to call her and the call went to a generic VM greeting. And he had a criminal record. Some suspicion was warranted but the officers let this get way out of hand. If the guy being hassled had just shut up and said he wasn't talking to them anymore I wonder what the cops would have done.

I haven't left my house for many years, even to pull weeds in the front yard or get the mail, without my ID in my right front pocket. I have to wonder why this guy wasn't able to easily identify himself.

The other thing I don't understand is why the officers didn't want to go with him to a neighbor's house to prove that he belonged on his mom's front porch.

There was plenty of stupid to go around on this one.

If you click the link in Post #61 I'll bet your level of suspicion will rise substantially,as did mine.IMO this is looking more and more like an experienced cop knowing that there was a distinct possibility that this was far from innocent.Using a shovel to try to enter the home of a woman who had a restraining order on you??? Yikes!
