If A Police Officer "Asked" You To Do Something Would You Necessarily Do It?

  No, they don't have the right--however, if you don't do as they tell you without questioning, they will come up with a way to put you in jail, usually just long enough to derail your whole life. And if you do as they tell you and it's illegal, you will get in trouble for the crime they order you to commit (again, usually just enough to make you lose your job and home).

  Welcome to the United Totalitarian States of America--and not just Louisiana where it started. This is a problem everywhere--they want everything you do to be what you are told to, and if they tell you to do wrong, you are responsible. And it will soon be coming to every country in the world, effectively ending all freedom worldwide.

  There was a cop in an LA surburb in LA that would get illegals to have sex with him or he would tow their car. The women did it. I would hope most women would not do this. He was eventually caught, but victimized many women.

  The answer is emphatically NO!!!

  Cops do have the right to ask you questions but you also have the right to not answer. In Canada they can not even search your own person or if you are caring a bag they can not search that. If you are a passenger in a car you don't even have to show them your driving licence or any other kind of identification if they ask. They need a warrant for surveillance and I mean just being park outside your house watching you. We have a lot of right but unfortunately must don't know about them.

  Here is the bottom line. If a cop gives you a "lawful order", you had better obey him. Failure to obey a "lawful" order is grounds for arrest.

  Failure to identify yourself, if asked, is one example.

  He can give you many orders that involve public safety, or officer safety like:

  Turn off you car.

  Keep you hands where I can see them.

  I do not talk to cops unless I have some police related business to report. I am not on their payroll, and police work is too important for me to waste their time with my chitchat.
