[QUOTE="Rich Stern, post: 731227, member: 52580"] Alan, according to the blog, he was searched before he was told he was being arrested. He was also arrested illegally. The wallet should not have been taken, and even if the officer had told him he was under arrest, it's forbidden fruit because there was no reasonable suspicion of a crime. Just a guy insisting on his rights being respected. And the very thing he was trying to protect, his right to privacy, was violated by the specific punitive act of the police officer. The officer screwed this up. I understand how this happened, but he should either be better trained or, if already trained properly, he should learn to excercise more personal restraint when it comes to dealing with the public. He's there to protect rights, not violate them. [/QUOTE]
