Re:Right to request ID (Score 1)

First off, I most certainly did not take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. I am a certified Peace Officer in the state of Georgia, and I took an oath to serve and protect the citizens of DeKalb County. However, I have taken classes on constitutional law, and, as I have stated numerous times, thus far the right of Police Officers to require people to display this far been upheld by the court. I have also read the constitution many times. I realize that the position of Police Officer only requires that a person hold a GED, but I do have a Masters Degree in English Literature, so being treated like someone who hasn't bothered to study the defining tenets of her profession frankly offends me more than the guy who said he wanted me to die. The police officer, by the way, did the absolute first thing that we are taught to do in a domestic situation -- separate the involved parties and keep them separated until backup arrives. Any domestic violence call is a situation in which you are assigned automatic backup, because they are among the most dangerous and volatile situations a police officers faces every day. I am not now, nor have I ever been a "drone of the state." I enforce the law as reasonably and fairly as I am able. Would I have handled the situation exactly as the officer in Nevada did? It's hard to say -- every officer is different. As for whether or not requiring a person to show ID violates the fourth amendment, I'll let the Supreme Court decide.
