:headscratch Cedar Park Dad, I don't understand your question in relation to you quoting me? :headscratch
That's part of the problem when you hit "quote" to reply to a particular poster from a post that has had multiple quotes from multiple posters. Who said what is lost. It would be nice when quoting a specific post, that one strips out all the subsequent quotes that don't apply, before posting one's reply. I'm sure I'm guilty of the above on occasion, but I do try not to do it.

She has no right to see a warrant before an arrest. As long as the police were acting in good faith, if they believed they where acting in accordance with the law even if their actions were later found to be contrary to the law then there wouldn't be any criminal liability. If the officers knew and believed they were operating in contrary to the law then there could be several State and Federal Charges. Since here arrest sure seems like it would of been legal, tho we don't know the exact charge, if the warrant had been signed at the time instead of hours later, making sweeping statements about the conduct of the police seems a bit kneejerk right now.
Whether you have a right to see a warrant or not, how does a mother "asking" to see one for her son constitute an offense? The warrant, issued or not, was not for her. Why are we commingling a warrant for the arrest of her son with the arrest of the mother? One has nothing to do with the other as I see it. And, if the police did nothing wrong, why is the department willing to apologize as long as she doesn't file suit?
