Also, BTW, in that case the suspect molester didn't stand around and state he was exercising his right to remain silent...he fled on foot.  Are you seriously telling me that any LEO will simply stand there and not treat that as highly suspicious behavior, or when the fleeing suspect does not immediately stop treat that as resisting arrest/refusal to obey lawful commands?  

If so, LOL.

I will not say it is 'defending a child molester' but I do find it interesting that we have two different incidents where police want to detain a person, in one instance that person is accused of making 'threatening gestures' and in the other, sexual misconduct with a child.  In both cases the person in question does not meekly allow himself to be detained, but puts up some form of resistance  (Fleeing while pursued by deputies vs backing away and not putting the camera down)

For only one of those two individuals does Bama come in and state that in some areas of this country it is lawful to not comply by fleeing for not violating the law that the cops are attempting to detain or arrest him for.


That's pretty telling.

Difference:

A crime allegedly being committed, in the presence of an officer, at the time of the detention (this thread)

and

Crime allegedly occurring 5 years prior, not in the presence of an officer (other thread)

You can't force someone to attend a consensual interview. They had no warrant, no probable cause for arrest, they were not responding to the scene where a crime was alleged to have just occurred. You can't detain someone for questioning 5 years after the fact and force them to participate in an interview. Not sure why this is hard to understand. You can't detain someone for reasonable suspicion 5 years after the fact. Terry v. Ohio.

a quote from the article



Investigators said name removed told his wife he was attempting to teach the boy about sex, The Sandusky Register reported.

“name removed’s reasoning is the fact that he did not want (the boy) to feel pressured on feeling the need to have to have sex with someone, when he can fix those needs by masturbating to porn,” wrote Deputy Sean O’Connell after speaking to the trooper’s wife.

[name removed] claimed a dresser blocked their view of each other as they masturbated, according to the report.

Authorities said he engaged in such activities twice with the boy about five years ago.

So you are saying that a police officer will not interpret a person who flees as a suspicious behavior?  BS

A police officer telling a fleeing suspect to stop is not a lawful order?  BS

You really are the most intellectually dishonest person I have had the misfortune to have discussions with on this site.

That was your opinion. Keep swinging though.

I read the thread and every single officer that I know is an officer is explaining why he could run and have no consequences not that agreed with him for running.
View Quote


You probably ought to look up the definition of opinion.

In that thread known LEOs defended his fleeing as legal.  Defend/explain both mean essentially the same thing.  They didn't have to SUPPORT or ENCOURAGE fleeing, as that is not what I said they did.  But they absolutely offered defense of it by describing the means that it was legal.

Although let's be honest for a second (I know, hard to ask of you) if I run from a police officer and make him chase me down, it probably isn't ending well for me, and you're probably not on GD defending/explaining how it is my legal right to flee from an interview.

There is also a world of difference between simply stating that you are no longer complying with said interview based on 5th amendment or whatever, and turning and fleeing on foot.  You are being deliberately obtuse.

I like to wait until these (LEO) threads reach more than 4 or 5 pages before I read them.  It's great to read page 1, then go right to the last page.  They start out innocent enough, some slight differences of opinion, but all in all, amicable.  You go to the last page and you see people in all-out war over the meaning of a single word, accusations of mental retardation, arguments about people being banned back on page 3, etc.

You can call me full of shit if that makes you feel better, but here is no legal basis to stop someone if they refuse to talk to you or CPS about an incident that occurred 5 years prior.

Whether they say, "I don't want to give a statement" or they turn around and run makes no difference.

I've had suspects get up and walk out of follow up interviews. I imagine other investigators have as well. That's how it goes.

If they're not under arrest and I can't detain them, they're free to leave. I make sure they know that too. Getting serious cases tossed in suppression hearings isn't fun.

Hmmm, generally speaking an interview by CPS (no arrest powers, do they advise of Miranda prior to questioning?), not done at a station or while in cuffs, police there to standby and cover CPS if the interview go sideways (physical reaction to some very likely awkward questions/allegations).  All signs of non-custodial interview where I work.  You can follow them, but no real RS/PC for stop/detention.   Sucks, from the angle that most people hate child molesters, but agree laws and shit.

I would agree, if wife made the report the night of the incident. Officers show up to investigate and he runs, absolutely. You would certainly be able to detain him for a reasonable amount of time while you did the initial investigation.

But, 5 years later? That would be unlawful detention IMO. Several days later would still be stretching it.

Similar to warrant-less arrests. If you can establish a crime was just committed and you have PC at the scene, arrest him. But, going back after the fact after some time has passed, you better get an arrest warrant first.

Careful, if you're that easily influenced GD will have you feeling like a tranny too.

Wrong.  I never said it was justifying molestation.  I specifically said it WASN'T justifying molestation.  Go back and read.  What I said, which was highlighted in red, was 100% factual.  Not opinion.

It wasn't factual because it was an opinion.  Your opinion.  You seem to think that someone attempting to offer an explanation for why things happened the way they did equate to justifying molestation.   The FACT remains that no one in that thread justified or attempted to justify anyone molesting anyone.  Which goes back to the whole issue at hand, that Tomislav said LEOs here have justified murder and molestation, which is not true.

Then why are we arguing??  That was the whole issue.  Tomislav used that as his explanation as to what he was referring to when he said Arfcom LEOs were justifying molestation.   Geez louise.

I said in that thread the trooper was a scumbag or other such term.

I was explaining how a CPS investigation is conducted and that from what I could tell he did not break the law by fleeing the CPS interview because a person cannot be compelled to take part in such action. Therefore it was not illegal for him to leave.

" They've defended everything from murder to child molestation, just because the perpetrators had a badge."

You cant get much more simpler than that... if cops on this board have defended child molesters, then prove it.

It isnt that hard.

BS.  He clearly said that officer who are members of this forum have "defended everything from murder to child molestation".  That's not even in the same ballpark as "benefit of the doubting".  If he meant what you are saying he did, he made the worst mis-type I've ever seen.


Again, I'm more defending Tomislav against a ban than his statement, but if you read the thread he linked to, which was about a police officer who had admitted to the activity in question (masturbating in front of a child) there are those choosing to argue for why he wasn't charged with fleeing from deputies.  That is on some level offering a defense for the actions of an admitted child molester.  

I agree, not defending child molestation, (and I wouldn't say Bama is a child molester defender) but if you're going to hash words, hash words.  Ban-able offense?  Seems like an overreaction and a standard not so equally applied across GD conversations.

It seems Tomislavs crime was not phrasing it as "defended the actions of an admitted child molester" as that would be technically correct.  But is that semantic argument worth catching action from site staff?

Before you run up your BS flag, I specifically stated that I did not construe what you said to be a defense of child molestation.  Bolded for your leisure.
