And he had no reason to suspect he would find it. That's the entire fucking point. Dikitain posted... He needed to fully assess the situation himself and determine the kid isn't a threat before letting him go. This is known in legal circles as "unreasonable search and seizure." "Yeah, I know you weren't doing anything illegal, but I have to make sure you weren't secretly planning to murder the president before I release you. Can't be too careful you know." Dikitain posted... Taking a random person's word isn't enough. A "random person", in legal terms, is usually referred to as a "witness". Their word is worth a bit more than you seem to be giving it credit for. Dikitain posted... I mean is everyone on this board seriously the type of people who would rather vigilante justice in this case? That would probably mean the kid would have been killed rather then just inconvenienced for a few minutes. No, I think people on this board are thinking that a 14 year old autistic boy probably shouldn't be manhandled by the cops for playing. It's a pretty radical position, I know, but I think there might be something to it. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
