You might want to read this a little more care...Hi:<br />You might want to read this a little more carefully:<br />(“[I]f there are articulable facts supporting a reasonable suspicion that a person has committed a criminal offense, that person may be stopped in order to identify him, to question him briefly, or to detain him briefly while attempting to obtain additional information”); Adams v. Williams, 407 U.S. 143, 146 (1972) <br /><br />Crowley had no reasonable suspicion that Gates had committed a crime. Apparently the police report was to provide that suspicion (two black men) but it appears that the report is in question. Lacking reasonable suspicion Gates need not comply.<br /><br />Now providing a name would not have proved that Gates lived at the house. It should be up to Crowley to ascertain who lives there not the other way around.ckirkseynoreply@blogger.com
