[QUOTE="Alan Beaulieu, post: 731196, member: 64772"] Another thing. Identifying yourself to an officer is not something you can "cop a lawyer on" The only time an officer HAS to stop asking questions is when you say "i want a laywer" If you are being questioned about something but they are not self incriminating questions than he can ask whatever he wants. Officers are legally bounded prior to asking self incriminating questions to advise you of your rights. After your rights are read if you want a lawyer thats when you can use that line. Identifying yourself to police is not protected under that. You have an obligation to identify yourself to a police officer so he/she may further investigate the case. I think the case in Ohio is missing some key information. It seems way to vaque. Anytime i hear a story about a cop misusing his or her power they are always vaque stories and almost all of the time. Some or all of the story is missing. I do agree there are cops out there that take it to far. I think there are some cops out there that have forgotten that a lot of the job is helping people and they have forgotten not only how to deal with people that have committed crimes they have forgotten how to talk to people with respect in general. Some cops go out there and they just want to talk down to people and cite them for every little infraction or arrest for anything they can. I personally think thats wrong. We need to be out there within the society talking to people, conversing on a daily basis. Not every traffic stops warrants a ticket, not every call warrants an arrest. Depends on the totality of the circumstances. But what do i know im just a "GI Cop" as Fast Eddie put it in this blog. [/QUOTE]
