No shit. That's a good way to get yourself killed.

IANAL
Sure you could sue in civil court under Section 1983. The police have much more power than you imagine.

IANAL
The poster's question completely implicates legal advice. You don't want to know how easy it is to get a search warrant locally... it is NOT a 'beyond reasonable doubt' standard.

Excuse me... I meant to type "They swarm. . . "

Awwww. Makes me proud. The best country in the world is now taking on the most evil of lawn pests.

Did you know the little bastards chemically signal to themselves? The swarm a leg, and once the first ant bites, the rest bite synchronously.

IANAL:

You've got to be kidding me right?

How these urban legend stories float around just befuddles me. What the hell does a contract have to do with the cop asking some questions?

And 2) did wikipedia tell you that the "_first_" thing in any contract is for the 2 parties to identify themselves?

Have you ever heard of Offer, acceptance, and consideration?

Dude... you just cited Wikipedia for a matter of criminal procedure.

IANAL and this is NOT legal advice but it was my understanding that officers can request ID if they have enough facts to reach the reasonable suspicion standard in Terry v. Ohio. i.e. if they can Terry stop you, they can demand ID. Of course, your states can provide you with more rights than the Constitution.

I'd be VERY careful about refusing to ID yourself; you could be in a state where you do have to ID yourself.

I'd also be VERY careful about basing your legal knowledge off of either 1)wikipedia or 2)slashdot posts.

Just because you're more intelligent than Boobus americanus doesn't mean you're a lawyer.

And it'd be completely wrong. IANAL but this is not new law, and the SCOTUS has already ruled on this issue. US v Katz.

Google the "open-fields doctrine" and be sad, very sad, and utterly corrected.

Finally. Someone said the truth and not just their gut reaction.

Reasonable cause? LOL.

Slashdot readers are not lawyers. Just because you 'heard' of certain searches being illegal and other certain searches being legal does not make them so.

Mod this up +1 insightful

Then why the hell do you keep buying ATI cards?
