Re: Helping a cop in need
Quote:
Not that I know of. ---- As for helping the cop, there is no preemptive measures to protect you from a lawsuit like there are for LEO's. But you do have the authority to render assistance if the LEO asks or is need of it. I think its §508 that provides justification for the use of force while making an arrest, and for those assisting an office, or assisting another person making an arrest. Common law Hue & Cry and Posse Comitatus provide support for making or assisting in arrests.

Re: Helping a cop in need
My instinct would be to jump in and help.
I hope that I would remember to call 911 first, but I know that I'd get involved and hope for the best after all was said and done. I'm a believer in "What goes around, comes around"

Re: Helping a cop in need
In addition, if the officer requests your assistance, your butt is covered.

Re: Helping a cop in need
Gotta help them out if they need it. Probably good to quickly ask first.

Re: Helping a cop in need
How do you know the officer wasn't beating on the assumed perp for no good reason, and said "perp" is in the process of defending himself?
I've watched enough of the "bad cop" videos posted here to know how things go down... HeHeHe Sarcasm. I just wanted to be the first one to say it!
