Re: Off Duty Officer and guys recording at wal-mart

I'm just saying that driving a car is an agreement that you enter with the regulating body and agree to a determined set of rules...you aren't licensed to ride a bicycle, therefore you never agreed to produce a license in given situations where the agreement you entered required it. The burden of proof is on the government, meaning you don't have to prove your innocence when it comes to rights in our country. When you obtain a license, you agree to abide by additional regulatory rules or you have the freedom not to agree and go without a license.

Re: Off Duty Officer and guys recording at wal-mart

The biggest difference I see between this incident and a traffic stop is as follows...

When operating a motor vehicle, it is done under the privilege granted by the state, not a right. This privilege is regulated by a the state using an identification card. You assume the responsibilities when you sign the forms to obtain the privilege of operating a motor vehicle.

Just standing on the street is not a privilege regulated by the state, it is a right. As our rights are assumed, (being as you were born with them) they did not come with a signed agreement between you and the government.

So the two situations are really apples vs. oranges.
