If you are being arrested or otherwise detained, you are not in a position to question the authority of the police officer. It is not the time or the place. They are, in fact, the de facto authority figure in that situation as appointed by the government, whether you want to question that or not, and you are obligated to comply with their direction in the pursuit of the law. Don't start quoting the articles of confederation or maritime law when the police pull you over for speeding and ask for your ID. And if an officer demands you to answer their question, when you know this is not wise? Police officers are public servants. They should not be treated as all-powerful, even on the beat. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:913871887] in Can someon...
