He didn't commit a crime, IMO

Nor was there PC to think he did. Dumbass cop


Yes, he did.

On a traffic stop, an officer can instruct a person to stay back. At that point it is an investigation.

The area the officer is doing the investigation is the scene.

The officer has control of the scene and can order someone out of that scene. Failure to comply is interference or obstruction.

Being an attorney does not allow you to disregard an officer's instructions.

The individual has a right to an attorney to be present.

No. Technically it takes a judge to rule that a law has been broken. The cop can only claim that a law has been broken.


Hence that silly thing about innocent until proven .......
