Default 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.

If you'll go back and re-read my "opening statement," perhaps you'll see I was not saying the officer was "entrapping," rather, the complainant was acting in a manner construed, by me, as an effort to "entrap" the officer.

I've taken a lot of deep breaths and am passing up the opportunity and suppressing my extremely strong urge to take a lot of shots at you, sir.
