I guess my lapse here deals with the fact that an officer doesn't need to say he is one before beginning an arrest. I know it's not 'entrapment' considering they were trespassing, but it seems like theres a gap in the plan. Considering I've seen and experienced vigilante "justice" in my many years of skating prior. I feel if a plain-clothes officer is going to get into something, without being identified, he later can't show up and try to tack on a much more serious charge. | |
