Arrested for wearing camo?

I can't wait to get home and put on my camo pants and NRA t-shirt and my combat boots and go for a stroll around the Galleria. But I don't think I will wear the face paint though, that might be a little overkill.
Where I grew up not wearing camo was suspicious.

Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

They appear to be very unlikely to get frostbite on the face...

It only said taken into custody for questioning. Not arrested yet.

Re: Arrested for wearing camo?
I've been wearing a camo t-shirt outside all day.
Plus, I sport hirsute adornment on me visage.
I'd blend with the DD boys...
I just miss dipping, chewing and smoking cigars.
No more tobacco unless I get to die a slow lingering and then by gum I'll be doing all three - at the same time.

“Obviously, it’s the Visitor’s Center, Independence Mall,” McGarrey said. “We’re going to take every precaution necessary.” I guess he means take every precaution and opportunity to violate the Constitution.

Re: Arrested for wearing camo?
You have to have a charge to take somebody into custody. That will be interesting.
Basic search and seizure 101
detention + movement = arrest. If they took him into custody and transported him, they had to arrest him. If they just questioned him there it was a detention and he wasn't taken into custody.

This getting out of hand!

I thought a person could be held up to 48 or 72 hours before charges must be filed or they had to be released. No?texanjoker wrote:You have to have a charge to take somebody into custody. That will be interesting.

Pants half off your butt, tattoo's all over your face and a hoodie and no one better say a word or you might yell racism.
But put on camo and you're detained.
