[QUOTE="MLR, post: 1749752, member: 2176"] The problem comes when an officer is adept at making a person feel that they are not being interrogated or detained. When he uses ordinary conversation as a way to make you comfortable while he is actually using this as a way to makes a judgment as to whether or not you might be up to no good. Some officers are very good at this skill. You are totally unaware of the real reason he is asking you about the weather or how your shopping trip went. Things can quickly go from how was your trip to you're being arrested for failure to inform. This particular clause in the must notify section of the law is the only one I have a problem with. It puts the onus on the citizen to determine what the motives of the LEO befriending him actually is. I believe that this issue may have been addressed in one of the recent gun bills but it was stricken as taking to much power away from the police. I have discussed this over the last few years with my State Reps. The responsibility of letting someone know he is being detained should be on the government not the individual. If others who feel the same way would contact their reps we could possibly get this changed. Michael [/QUOTE]
