Yep, that's pretty much what I said. They need evidence to suggest I've committed the crime in order to collect more evidence.

And, with a few exceptions (not related to citizenship status), they need a warrant as well. Cops cant determine on their own that they have probable cause.

But it would be very easy to set up a road block and stop all persons. Pretty easy get around IMHO. I will send them an email as a suggestion.

Yes, I've seen that on law and order.

Cops cant determine on their own that they have probable cause

The wording here made me laugh. It almost suggests that cops aren't very smart and 'just need a little help sometimes'. lol

One of my friends, whose dad is a cop, told me he was driving with his dad in Brooklyn near their house when his dad spotted a couple of kids walking down the street wearing baggy pants, long chain wallets, new flat ball caps (they prolly have a name) etc. That kind of outfit.

His dad says to him, "Ya see that? That's probable cause! I could search them."

My friend just cracked up.
