They are civil servants first and foremost. It “IS” their job and upmost priority to not violate the rights of or create undue hardships on innocent civilians in any form or fashion even if it means they don’t “get their guy” once in awhile.
Courts once ruled that it was legal for drug enforcement officers to entrap drug users by literally dealling them drugs and then busting them for possession of drugs. This was a huge issue back in the 70s. Were these rulings honest or just? Break the law to arrest law breakers?
No, I don’t care what courts have decided, unconstitutional is unconstitutional. The courts have approved all kinds of unconstitutional issues. Just look at California as an example of this trend.
It’s their job to follow the law. The law says an officer can ask for your ID if he has reasonable cause to do so, but he doesn’t have to tell you what that cause if he doesn’t want to.
The law says the only time you have to be informed as to why you are being arrested is when you are arraigned.
If you don’t like the law, work to change it.
