Please keep in mind that not everything a police officer asks or tells you to do constitutes a "lawful order." The fact that a police officer is telling you to do something does not, by itself, make the order lawful.Again, it's important to use your judgment and be careful. If you're overly rude or adversarial to a police officer, it's very easy to get yourself in a whole lot of trouble very quickly. And, as I've stated before, I think that police generally do deserve our respect, and many times there's no reason for you to be impolite. But this doesn't mean that you can't ask an officer why they've stopped you or that you have to do EVERYTHING they say. And they cannot legally confiscate your personal property unless they're using it as evidence of a crime, in which case certain procedural safeguards apply. |
