A couple of questions come to mind.
1 - If an officer asks you to get outside your home, can you refuse and ask for a judge's order to do so? 2 - "Gates leaves the front door to get his identification. Crowley follows him inside." Does the officer have a right to enter Gates's home without a warrant? And/or once identity is established, is he not obliged to leave the house immediately before continuing any other inquiry? 3 - "Crowley said in his report that he had already told Gates his name, twice, but Gates was yelling too much to hear him" I find it understandable that Gates was yelling, after all HE is not trained to cope with these kind of situations. OTOH the officer IS trained and should have tried to wait out Gates's outburst and then tranquilize him. 4 - All of this is happening INSIDE Gates's home, and it seems the officer insists on getting Gates outside the house. Am I right in stating that any yelling inside Gates's home could not be taken as disorderly conduct as it is not happening in the public space? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
