If a citizen fails to ID themselves, that is an arrestable offense, however, would you press charges on a department if they did the same thing?

It is a fight you have to fight, even if it is a futile effort. The police are to protect and serve the people, they are not above the people.
Refusing to identify themselves is no worse than Nazi Secret Police.

A citizen may not be arrested for simply refusing to identify him or herself. Police officers must, by law identify themselves as police officers before making an arrest. A person being arrested or detained in any way by plouice is entitled to ask for and must be shown proper identification by the ploice.

I had two off-duty deputies kick my [donkey] at a club a few years ago - they never ID'd themselves as cops until after it was over. I was charged with resisting arrest and taken jail via the hospital. Could I press charges? Probably. Would it have done any good? No. There were two of them, I had no witnesses.
Live and learn.

a million. you are able to not "press costs" against a cop. pressing costs is a criminal situation, and you as a civilian have not got the means to press costs, in basic terms a District lawyer can press costs. you are able to report healthy, yet have not have been given any grounds to realize this according to this. I additionally do not comprehend what "failure of own duty" even ability. 2. As for the examining of your rights, you're fake effect this besides. officers are allowed to seek you after a valid arrest, and asking in case you have something on you with out examining you your rights isn't a contravention of Miranda, as this question is asked for protection purposes, they don't prefer to be stunned via a weapon or needles or something that should break them. notwithstanding if it become a Miranada violation, your in basic terms treatment could be to suppress any statements you made out of info, which may be the word "no". the seek become nevertheless valid, so the marijuana proper costs will stick. they don't choose your assertion to convict you of any of those costs. 3. think of you're speeding down the expressway, 10 different automobiles are doing the comparable, the cop can in basic terms value ticket one guy or woman, could you argue discrimination then too? of path not. human beings doing the comparable element isn't a criminal protection to a criminal offense, this is beside the point to your very own costs, and the officer not ticketing others does not provide you status to report some variety of discrimination lawsuit. 4. Handcuffs could desire to be tight for protection motives. it is particularly beside the point. the significant's you chosen to antagonize a cop on an identical time as carrying weed, which become a detrimental determination, and now you will could desire to pay for that mistake.
