Anytime you can stop an unlawful search and detention, you should. I support this citizen's right to sue the pants off the Leo's, based on the "facts" presented. However, it should go further, the Leo(s) should he/they be found guilty should permanently barred from serving as a LEO ANYWHERE, period. This kinda crapola shouldn't be tolerated.

I am not on the fence at all. He was not breaking the law. He was, as described in the new clip being subjected to:

 

Official oppression = A person acting or purporting to act in an official capacity or taking advantage of such actual or purported capacity commits crime if knowing that his conduct is illegal, he/she: (1) subjects another to arrest, detention, search, seizure, mistreatment, dispossession, assessment, lien or other infringement of personal or property rights; or (2) denies or impedes another in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power or immunity.

 

If this isn't the law in Michigan, it should be!

I agree and am NOT on the fence on this - especially after seeing this video:
