[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1804992, member: 1132"] How do you figure? You have a single phrase uttered by an agency administrator that these instances will be left to officer discretion. What you don't have is any context whatsoever within which to place that phrase. The fact is that most agency policies are guidelines, which have exceptions. It will always be up to officer discretion whether to initiate a field contact. You, the general public and agency administrators would be doing a grave disservice to all officers in the field if you attempted to restrict what is at the very core of good police work. Simply initiating a field contact is not "harassment by cops". The new OC law has protections in place so that a subject of a field contact is not taken to a higher level if you're in the right. Some magic shield for you to wield in order to never have to talk to an officer isn't one of them. What I fail to understand is why anyone on either side would want to make it an adversarial proposition? :( [/QUOTE]
