Re: Just got pulled over by the cops while walking at night
[ QUOTE ]
I am a lawyer, a prosecutor to be specific, and that is not even close to entrapment. at least under U.S. law, the cop can ask questions, but he didn't have to answer, and in fact, just asking him to show his hands was improper.

Whether showing hands is improper or not, it is a reasonable request by the officer to ensure he was not in immediate danger. Show some empathy for a lone cop approaching 2 strangers in the middle of the nite for the sole reason of ensuring things are safe for the neighborhood.
