At this point in time it is not wise to resist arrest whether it be lawful or unlawful.

The lawfulness of the arrest would be more properly be determined by your attorny.

Screw around too much and you will get yourself killed.

1. The threshold for "reasonable" arrest is extremely low. The cops can essentially point to anything as a reason to question you, then point to your unreasonable answers as suspicious, and so on. Think about the average donkey sh-t eaters out there; they don't even question the fact that a cop doesn't have a right to interrogate you, command you, and so on, without proper basis in fact. So when you get your jury made up of 11 peers, this is how the story plays:

A. Respectful officer of the law asks guy to show ID.
B. Guy refuses to show ID.
C. Respectful officer of the law repeats request, citing "suspicious" behavior as the reason for the request.
D. Guy refuses again.
E. Respectful officer gives final warning.
F. Guy becomes verbally abusive at final warning.

DON'T TASE ME BRO.

Point is, unless you have video evidence, you're going to lose every time.

Most of the DSEs out there have no concept of liberty, and they will view you as the trouble maker for not yielding to the Officer's reasonable command.

[smallpoxgirl]

Yeah. Your right to resist unlawful arrest is one of those things that you end up arguing in court once the cops have burned down your house and killed half your family.

Just remember this simple phrase:

Never get in the van.

You're dead if you get in anyway, so you really have nothing to lose.

[ForlornHope]

'Patriotism(and by inference martyrs) is the last refuge of a scoundrel'.
Americans and American leaders of yore had many such sayings that have great relevance today.
Ask yourself, who determines what is lawful or not? National consensus? The police arresting you? The supreme court? The administrative branch of the federal govt? The President? You?
Power resides with those who have the ability to wield it, lawfully or not.

[mos6507]

Yeah, and what if the police officer is stalking you and just wants you dead? It might not be a real police officer...



BTW, would the Enterprise or the Galactica win in a fight?

Can we get back to reality now?

[smallpoxgirl]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('The_Toecutter', 'A')nd what about unlawful use of lethal force? If a police officer makes an attempt to rob you and is using force to get you to comply, you damn well should have the right to shoot them.

[jasonraymondson]

It would be a draw with both ships destroyed.

galactica could withstand everything from the exterior, but without shields... the enterprise could just teleport nukes inside.

About that sheriff beheading, this was something I had heard from a former coworker in 2008. I should have verified whether that was true before posting that, and I didn't. I have not been able to find an article on it; this person was probably making a joke and I didn't realize it, or it was some urban myth that has been going around(ala the cartel beheading victims found in Arizona, which turned out to be false).

That being said, I was the victim of illegal police action in October of 2009. My car was impounded for fictitious reasons, the charges were dropped, but I still had to pay court costs and impound fees... When I got the car out of the impound lot, there was cocaine smeared all over the back seat; the same cops that impounded it came looking for the cocaine later after I had cleaned it. I hope someone shoots those fuckers. Police like such give them all a bad reputation.
