Reply #490: you're under arrest for something

[create.peace]

I have seen people arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest who were doing neither thing. Just because those were the charges, doesn't mean he is guilty of them. I swear this thread is interesting mostly because of the naivete of the workings of arrests. If you simply go limp, you can still be arrested for resisting, and if you refuse to leave, even though you believe you are in the right, and later found to be in the right, you can be arrested for disorderly conduct. He was rightly challenging the id requirement that the election judges didn't understand, but this could as easily happened to a voter who was just going to vote with his voter card. When I saw proud2blib posting this, I was happy to wait for galloglas to post eventually, and am amazed at how much blah blah blah happened in the meantime....funny.
