Rights Violation or a Complete Jerk?

[kandrathe]

I have a feeling there is more to this story than the man's blog has let on. Most peace officers have better training that to do something illegal, and to not read the man his Miranda rights? The man must have been acting quite agitated IMO. I'm quite sure without knowing all of the facts that this story is very one-sided, and I'm almost certain that the peace officer did what he felt was necessary to defuse the situation before is escalated.

Consider HIIBEL v. SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF NEVADA, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, et al..

Ohio's Stop and Identify Law

It would appear to me that the officer, after asking for DL and being refused, could have within the law asked for Name, Address and DOB. Since he was not charged with that 2921.29 statute, which is corroborated by what Righi describes happened, then the charges of obstruction are not valid.
