My first thought is to pull into the parking spot, lock the doors, and lay on the horn and/or call 9-1-1 to report I'm being held against my will by armed (I assume) individuals.gthaustex wrote:I would say unbelievable...but things like this seem to happen more frequently these days. I wonder what would have happened if the lady interviewed had pulled into a parking spot, but refused to roll down her window? Would the "off-duty" officers have tried to force her to roll down her window and possibly arrest her for failure to comply with their orders? I can see that going wrong like the traffic stop in NM....
All over something that is clearly a 4th Amendment violation.
Realistically, I might go for some level of compliance to get away and then raise a huge stink afterward. I don't think they should get away with it, but I always have my kids with me and I'm not willing to risk them getting hurt if I can put up a fight in a safer way later.
