Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
OK if a guy in plainclothes comes up and wants to put you and your family in handcuffs, and haul the lot of you off. But he has no badge, no marked car and no credentials...Originally Posted by Bailey Guns
he lunges into your car.
Misses point again....
"OK if a guy in plainclothes comes up, verbally identifies himself as a police officer and states my family members and I are under arrest for a crime we just committed (and we know we committed) and wants to put you and your family in handcuffs, and haul the lot of you off. But he has no badge, no marked car and no credentials..."Fixed again.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
yeah still misses...
lets make it even more accurate
"That is driving the victims car and is probably be out for vigilante justice"
still doesn't address the "reasonable" clause of the statute
I do not believe it "unreasonable" for a law officer to produce his badge and credentials upon identifying himself. I Do find it unreasonable that a law officer would not have these on his person to produce when performing an arrest.
BUT, being as you are a former law officer and not in Adams county, we dont have to worry about you sitting on his jury.
And as I am more than due...
And here's another story:

Cop couldn't prove he was a cop. There have been enough police impersonators that there have been public service announcements about how to deal with it. Bailey Guns has a point but not much of one to me since it seems like the cop was the assailant. If someone in plainclothes comes up to me and says he's a cop and wants my wallet, good luck to him.
