what is police proceedure? dose he have to identify himself as a police officer?

Answer 1

Well I understand that if they have a warrant now they can bust your door down without knocking and having to wait a little before they break your door down like they had to before. I don't think probable cause is still an issue any more they can stop you and ask for ID for any reason. Don't take this as true police procedures its only what I read in the newspaper.

Answer 2

Not necessarily. It depends on what situation you're talking about. For example, police officers are allowed to sell and buy drugs without identifying themselves as a police officer - even if you ask.

Answer 3

Depends on the situation, if it warrants it yes he does, if he is asked like in a prostitution sting, yes. Before he can control a situation, yes, if he is in his street clothes, yes. The courts dictate his actions and identifying himself as a peace officer is usually one especially before he can ask certain questions or you can request to have a uniformed officer present if youre not sure as there are imposters out there

Answer 4

No he doesn't. But the good thing is, . . .if he doesn't identify himself/herself then you don't have to identify yourself. Watch for any and all tactics. I had only a misdemeanor . . .and the U.S. Census Bureau sends me a "Survey" . . .wants to know for research purposes, . . ."Who all lives there?" "When do they leave for work?" Ha, yeah, . . right.

Answer 5

That's right!!!

Answer 7
