I don’t buy any of this “he could have done it better” noise as I have had very similar experiences with cops in SMALL TOWN TEXAS. What I learned is that I do not have to present my id or justify why I am any where. Making inquiries about the health of a prisoner is not interference, it is a duty by medical professionals (there are “Good Samaritan” laws for this very reason). These police were abusive and way over the Constitutional line. What difference did it make who this person was? Why did the cops have to know? Why did they think that they had the right to arrest someone looking after the needs of a prisoner? The answer is that they don’t. If the good doctor had been an attorney, these policemen would be in the middle of a lawsuit right now. There was a similar encounter between an attorney on the east coast and the police and THEY LOST. IT WAS RULED THAT THEY HAVE VIOLATED THE ATTORNEY’S CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED LIBERTIES.
Obviously not or they wouldn’t have demanded his ID.
