I wont say that I know more than your friend on most police matters, but this one I have to disagree with. Only because it has been brought to court SEVERAL times and every time the officer was found in fault. Tell your friend to look up Police Department VS Tirado ... spelling? I cant find the case now, but here is another case. Marvin George VS Miami Police Department. From the report:
What does your friend have to say about that?
Ok. well anyway. how about this. from SanJoseca.gov
Alright. Well how about this article at ACLU
???
or from another website
Listen. Im not saying that all districts require this but MOST do. I will ask for professor for further information at a later time. I can give you a TON of these cases, most of which went AGAINST the officer. But, HEY! lets not let facts get in the way of what your friend says. He will probably be one of the officers brought to court for not giving his badge number. (joke) If you couldnt tell
Good post and your right. I shouldnt have posted without seeing the video ... because apparently because spread information incorrectly (I kept hearing people say through this and other websites that a student asked a policemen for a badge number and the officer threatened to tase him.
