I assume you've all seen this on the news today?
Police Stop, Handcuff Every Adult at Intersection in Search for Bank Robber
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headline...r-bank-robber/“Most of the adults were handcuffed, then were told what was going on and were asked for permission to search the car,” Fania said. “They all granted permission, and once nothing was found in their cars, they were un-handcuffed.”
The search lasted between an hour and a half and two hours, and it wasn’t until the final car was searched that police apprehended the suspect.
There's just no way in Hades that I'd politely consent to being cuffed and searched in these circumstances. In front of my kids
What is the most constructive way for an armed citizen to refuse to submit to such a violation of the 4th Amendment?
I am in NO WAY suggesting to use force in this situation, just pointing out the potential for misinterpretation of being in possession of a gun.
I can imagine bad things while ID-ing myself as CC in this situation.
How do you do this delicately, to avoid having LE draw on you while they are hunting for an armed robber?
I'm sure someone will quickly point out that I am mistaken and tell me why this detainment did not violate the 4th Amendment.
Won't be the first time I've not had my facts straight. I'm all ears.
