Hmm, you seem upset that he was exercising his rights. He didn't bother you or say anything. He was just exercising his rights. Seems kind of ironic to me that you are upset by his exercise of his rights.[/QUOTE
You don't have the right to stalk people. There are laws prohibiting harassment. Was it you following this guy or something?
You don't have the right to murder people either, but he neither stalked nor murdered the op. There are laws prohibiting harassment too, but he did not harass the guy. In fact, apparently the leo did not have any contact with the OP other than to be in the same place at the same time and follow him at a safe distance. Are you suggesting that should be against the law too? Trying to take more rights away are you?

IANAL...
I do feel as described in the OP this would fall under IC 35-45-2-1...
And that, Jeremy, is why you are not a lawyer.
Stick to what you know. The officer's actions are not even close to fitting that statute. At least in the real world.
In the INGO world, though, I'm sure the cop should be fired for daring to walk behind someone.
Honestly, the paranoia...........
Just stop real quick and bend down to tie your shoes. He'd get the point when he trips over you and looks like a bigger ass than he already did.
This story does NOT deserve it's own thread.
I can't believe I bothered reading that.

If I had stopped and asked him something like "Can I help you?", what would have been his next logical step, as far as intimidation tactics go?
I mean, hell, I can find plenty of reasons to drive back down there and buy something.

Wow. Someone got a little defensive. You didn't notice my question mark at the end of my sentence indicating that it was a query instead of a statement. Maybe you were the one following him around.Uh, no, please show me that code cite. Harassment to be in a public place or following someone? Not in this country yet. Maybe if some of the people on this forum have their way, it would be illegal to be in public at the same time as someone else. But as of this moment, no.
what was that thing cops always say about feeling threatened? something about a 21 foot rule?
That's an edged weapon rule.
If someone pees their pants because a cop is walking behind them, perhaps they need to stay home and hide behind their couch. Are such men really the descendants of the pioneers who built this nation?
I wonder if Daniel Boone was such a whiny little thing.
I got ten bucks on six pages.I'm guessing 10 pages by midnight.....

I wasn't standing there shaking in my boots, I was wondering why the hell a man would go out of his way to do something that seemed so petty.
