Refusal to consent to a search cannot constitute probable cause.Would you allow a random stranger to look through your pictures? I get scared when people say: "Why bother with your constitutional rights? If you're not doing anything wrong, you won't get in trouble, right?" Yes, I would. These were not random strangers ... they were uniformed police officers with authority to patrol the station. If I were in your situation, I would have absolutely allowed them to look through my pictures. You said I should report it to the NYPD, yet you also said I shouldn't record their badge numbers... Read my post more carefully - the point I was making about the badge numbers is that I believe you escalated the situation by asking for them. Once everything went down the way it allegedly did, then I agree that you absolutely should get their numbers and report the situation. I hope you are successful as you pursue this with the NYPD, but I can't agree with the tactics you used during this encounter. Jim |
