What if a cop knocked on your door asking to come in and search your house because a neighbor called and said they saw someone suspicious run into your neighborhood?

I would tell him to stay there and that I will clear the house and let him know when it is okay.

My response would be that if someone had suspicious had run into my home there would be no need for a search, I'll be happy to show you the body.

I couldn't even imagine what would of happened if people had concealed weapons in their cars. Does that make you a bank robber?

That's what I was thinking... an honest armed citizen is easily mistaken for a criminal when a high stress situation occurs. I would have moved extremely slowly had I been stopped in this case. But my question is, isn't being handcuffed without cause (like in this situation) constitute illegal detention?

OK I have a CCW, which means that sometimes I carry a gun. So If I am driving by this intersection, which I do all the time, into this cluster f*%k and get pulled from my car and searched I am going to get arrested as the bank robber. And this is for doing something that I had to go to class for and pay a few hundred bucks. I am all for the police but this was BS from the begining. I hate lawsuits but if some of the effected people don't sue this shit will happen again. They gonna stop and hand cuff everybody on the 16th street mall because some junkie steals a purse?

In both cases, I'd be inclined to say "As soon as you show me a valid warrant, I'll be happy to let you search. Until then, I do not give my consent." If they pull me out of my car at gunpoint, I'll comply(resistance is futile), but you can be damned sure I'll have a copy of the incident report, names, and badge numbers of all the officers involved, as well as witness statements when I call my lawyer the next morning. Cuffed and detained for 2 hours? Bullshit...

Byte can help me out here, but you can resist unlawful arrest... YMMV.

It's not arrest, it's "detention", and no, it's not the same thing.
