I never said they could. But they can ask.Sure they can walk up and ask anything they want, but without probably cause I don't have to answer and they can't just willy nilly search my car, house or anything else.
So you are saying he experienced what black folks do all the time.He looked white to me...or mostly white.
And his last name (Sexton) is not a Hispanic name.
They can if you consent.In no state in our Union may a police officer conduct a search of your person or property absent probable cause.
It’s a false choice because the child was never in any danger.You have not answered my question and I asked you first
The choice is between the adult and the child
And you choose the adult
I know a lot of black people. None of them is ever randomly stopped on the street and questioned by police officers. This is a class issue not a racial one.So you are saying he experienced what black folks do all the time.

Whites get stopped to in situations like this.So you are saying he experienced what black folks do all the time.
Obviously. But they cannot do so absent consent if there is no probable cause. (By the way, all general rules have exceptions. Accordingly, let’s also acknowledge the so called “exigency” exception.)They can if you consent.
Again I don't think the cops broke the law. It is their job to check out suspicious things. If they can't do that, there is no deterrent to crime at all. Again if that boy had not been his son--I can't imagine anyone getting a little kid up at dawn to go for a walk so that alone looked odd however legitimate it might have been--the cops might have averted a tragic crime. And the child moved some distance away from the man when the cops were approaching which I also thought unusual.I'm pretty certain a skilled, trained cop, could discern that, and know how to handle it, without breaking the law himself and squashing another citizen's right to move freely...
Which is why this is a class issue not a racial one.Whites get stopped to in situations like this.
I can see the cop taking an interest in an adult male wandering around at 5:30 in the morning with a young child. Questioning him is fine but cops have a responsibility to actually follow the law. The cop let his emotions do the thinking
in both cases the cops were wrong,,Obviously the police were wrong in this case
But the the situation with the man and the child is different
As I have explained to others I choose not to respond to chopped up posts that destroy content and context. Or those that put words in my mouth I didn't say.What was the reasonably articulable crime you think he had committed? Suspicious isnt a crime. Walking down the street at an "odd time" isnt a crime. Being on a street near storage units isnt a crime.
He doesnt need a reason. All the cop had to do was follow the law. It's not the citizen's job to make nice with the police. It is the police officer's job to follow the law. He's not required to show him his ID nor give him his name. He's not required to tell him where he's coming from, going to, or doing. He's not required to tell him where he lives.
Yes so long as the man did what he was told the police officer would allow him to keep walking down the street. Do you read the shit you write?
By asserting his rights that encouraged confrontation?
Is walking with your kid outside a felony or a misdemeanor? It wasn't dark out. Does it go from misdemeanor to felony if the suns not out? Maybe that' why they dont do trick or treating after dark now..
Since I have nothing to hide I would have produced my ID
You mean no obvious danger such as neing held at knifepointIt’s a false choice because the child was never in any danger.
Where did I put words in your mouth?As I have explained to others I choose not to respond to chopped up posts that destroy content and context. Or those that put words in my mouth I didn't say.
Kind of extreme, just to get the street police to follow the law, don't you think? You simply do not lean toward win/win scenarios. I actually haven't been abused by law enforcement since the mid/late 1970s, though I have met with them many times, even at my home, assisting in investigation a couple of times. I guess, locally, we do insist on cops performing to standards within the law, and it works out, saving us a ton of payouts on lawsuits and any bad publicity for local law enforcement.
Sure they can walk up and ask anything they want, but without probably cause I don't have to answer and they can't just willy nilly search my car, house or anything else.
The difference is that the man was on a public street not in his private homein both cases the cops were wrong,,
and youre still a jackboot nazi wannabe that doesnt give one shit about constitutional rights,,
