Posted by Easy on Mon Mar 20 19:27:57 2006, in response to Re: Today I got a summons from the LA Sheriff and added to the LA terrorism list (Long), posted by ntrainride on Mon Mar 20 19:01:56 2006. I can appreciate that attitude. It seems to be the prevailing opinion on this board. I respect that police have a tough job, but I believe that they still should follow the rule of law. They should not be allowed to demand information above and beyond that required by law or be able to illegally search law abiding citizens. That being said my intent was not to be self righteous even if I sound otherwise. If I thought that he wanted my ID solely to confirm my identity or even to run a warrant check, I wouldn’t have had a problem. I’ve given my ID to law enforcement many times during traffic stops (even the four times that I’ve been pulled over for bogus reasons). My concern was that he wanted my ID for reasons beyond those. This suspicion was confirmed by the commander who said that even had I given him my ID forthright, my name would have been added to a terrorism watch list. Knowing that, I can’t honestly say that I’d respond differently if given the chance. If I go to court and they tell me I’m a moron, I’ll of course have to reconsider my actions;) |
