Had a deputy sheriff bust my chops...

[Tripp11]

Or simply inform the MWAG caller that the MWAG was not breaking any laws... give them a quick rundown on Indiana's LTCH... so maybe they won't make unnecessary calls in the future and be a little less SHEEPLEish.

Unfortunately, common sense isn't all that common (as evidenced by some of the posts in this thread).

To those who are trying to say that the police HAVE TO respond to MWAG calls, the SCOTUS disagrees.

The police have complete discretion on which calls they respond to & how they handle the situation if they do respond.

See CASTLE ROCK V. GONZALES

THE POLICE HAVE NO DUTY TO PROTECT YOU IF YOU HAVE A PROTECTIVE ORDER OR TO COME TO YOUR AID IF YOU CALL 911.

For the record, I wholeheartedly disagree with that decision. Since the police are funded by tax dollars I feel they have entered into a contract with the community that pays those taxes & they should have to respond to the best of their ability or be found in breech of that contract. They shoud be at least financially punished just as any other breech would be.

As an LEO I would agree that we have a duty to respond/protect to the best of our ability. That is the oath I took and I do not need the USSC to tell me otherwise. I too disagree with the decision handed down by the court. I do try to give you your money's worth

This must be a state wide problem. A friend and I had a disagreement on this subject. He said you could not carry open and I said he was wrong. I called the Elkhart County Sherrif Department and after tem minutes of hearing him say we recommend you carry concealed he finally admitted open carry was legal.

I lived in Castle Rock, CO when that happened. It was a tragic incident. Gonzalez died that day in a 'suicide by cop' situation.

I had sort of the same thing happen but mine was a deputy pointing a loaded 12ga at me and blah blah blah.

Thanks to everyone who has been quoting case law. THAT is the real stuff. Terry v. Ohio, Brown v. Texas. That is what would hold up in a court if it were to get to that point, NOT our opinion that those decisions are wrong.

From this discussion I've reconfirmed "Am I being detained?" is the best way to respond to any situation like this. If the officer doesn't say, "Yes" basically immediately I say "Good day" and walk away.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Attacks should merit consequences.

There. Fixed it for you.

Yeah, I guess I should have added the qualifier (or a smiley instead of the flames). Some of my best friends OC.
