That entire article was written to suggest that I and other taxpayers have failed to provide for her as is our obligation. :lol:

I have basic empathy for them as human beings, but that's absolutely as far as it goes.

And when you attempt to manipulate me and shame me, my empathy shifts to this...

frick her. And frick her kids.

I bet I know what this judge looks like.

The passion and admiration, huh.

You mean "aspiration," you frickin' dingus? :lol:

Ol' Doc got ahold of the one on the left.

Probably married to the one on the right.

I like the "Only count sports TAMU participates in" trophy.

Aggy placed 10th.

You guys are completely misunderstanding Reasonable Articulable Suspicion and Probable Cause.

Reasonable Articulable Suspicion is the threshold for them stopping him and IDing him, but not for arresting him. He was not arrested based on RAS.

Probable Cause is the threshold for arresting him. He was arrested based on PC.

Asking the questions he asked is the clear definition of Reasonable Articulable Suspicion.

His questions - how many people work here? and where is the vault located? - raised the suspicions of the bank security guard (a reasonable person)...so much so that he called the f'n police.

The police arrived under those facts and circumstances and had every right to stop and engage with him. They also have the right to ID him. He is required by law to ID himself. He did not. THAT is the Probable Cause for the arrest, NOT his original questions/behavior.

Had he ID'd himself, they would have had no PC for an arrest because his initial actions were not illegal. But he did not, which was illegal, and therefore they did.

Bottom Line:

A reasonable person found his actions to be suspicious (a crime is being or about to be committed). That person called the police, who arrived under those already established facts and circumstances.

If RAS exists (it clearly did), THEN the police had a right to ID him and he is required by law to ID himself. His refusal to do so, under those already established facts and circumstances which rose to the level of Reasonable Articulable Suspicion, was a violation of the law...therefore, Probable Cause to arrest was established and he was hooked up.

This one isn't controversial in the least. Had he ID'd himself and still been arrested based on his original suspicious behavior, then no Probable Cause would have existed and he would be 100% in the right. But that's not what happened.

That's exactly what he should do. Publicly and loudly thank them for the ringing endorsement.
