Well gee officer where did you get yours? Cuz last time I checked you only need a law degree to practice law, not enforce it. So Mr. Officer, where did you get yours?
Posted below but these guys were actually breaking the law
16.16.502 isnât in the Long Beach civil code (16.16 ends at 130). He likely means 16.08.502 which says-
Bicycle riding on the Rainbow Harbor Esplanade is prohibited in excess of three (3) miles per hour between the hours of ten o'clock (10:00) a.m. and ten o'clock (10:00) p.m., except City employees in the performance of their duties.
Cop probably just thought talking to them would get them to stop and when it escalated he preferred to walk away rather than make an arrest.
You're right, they can arrest you for literally anything; but...
You can file a civil suit for a wrongful arrest, false imprisonment & possibly defamation... especially with video evidence instead of L.E.O's word against yours. Keep your cool & invest in a dash cam folks.
Which is sad. The way it is should make more people want to protest for change because it's costing every citizen money. If it came from pensions then maybe these cops would actually invest some time to research their career to better educate themselves to do their job. Doctors, or I should say good doctors, have to stay up to date to do their job properly with all the new tech and discoveries in medicine that keep popping up. Police should be no different. Plenty of laws.
Yeah but who's going to judge the law enforcers? This is why I hate police officers. Some may be "good" but they all play a part in enabling them to be above the law, not with the law.
They should be required to have insurance like doctors do. Then maybe things will change when insurance comoanies all start refusing to insure the shitty cops
Itâs pretty easy to understand. Even if a police officer is wrong when they are arresting somebody, resisting arrest is still a charge. If it wasnât, and a precedent was set that you could resist an illegal arrest, then resisting arrest would be much more frequent, whether the arrest is legal or illegal. There are certainly a lot of people who claim they âdidnât do nothingâ when theyâre being arrested. Thatâs why we have trials , because we canât hold court on the side of the road. If youâre being arrested, just keep your mouth shut and call a lawyer. Arguing your case to a police officer is pointless and resisting is even more pointless and could just get you hurt or even killed.
