Were you actually detained? I'm not saying the cop can't ask you questions, I'm saying he can't demand your ID and run it for warrants, and you're free to leav

Were you actually detained?
I'm not saying the cop can't ask you questions, I'm saying he can't demand your ID and run it for warrants, and you're free to leave that situation if you want.
- ryandrake 3y agoCome on... Practically, the police can do whatever they want, and it's up to the victim to fight it in court if it was wrong. If an officer wants to detain you without reasonable suspicion, they're going to do it, regardless of whether it is legal. If they want to arrest you without probable cause, they are going to do it.
- justrealist 3y agoThe OP said they were "detained", and then as evidence cited a story where they were not, in fact, detained. That feels OK to point out.
