Little known fact.. preventing someone from leaving is as good as kidnapping. It is a law and I can't find it cause I can't remember where it is, but it's right up there with kidnapping, only not a federal crime.
It's part of a set of laws designed to protect people in domestic situations where one tries to leave and the other impedes them.
If you really want to press it you can talk to the cops.. I don't know the exact law.. or the wording.. I just know it exists.. long story.
Bet that wouldn't happen on a CU campus...
Monky, trust me on this one. Not kidnapping...and kidnapping, both first and second degree are state crimes. False imprisonment would be the closest criminal charge, depending upon what the witnesses said and in the end, it is a misdemeanor.Quote:

(a) The person uses force or threat of force to confine or detain the other person; and
(b) The person confines or detains the other person for twelve hours or longer.
This is exactly what I was thinking, this lady could be brought up on criminal charges.Quote:

I posted the law.
I know you did but the charge wasn't false imprisonment. If I can find it I will.. if not I'll be happy to know I was beaten by the internet.
That is bizarre man. Too bad she didn't record that.
