Exactly which of the OP'ers rights were violated?
Sweet merciful crap, I am not going to state this again. Read the thread.
maybe it's time to change avatars dude know what i'm saying?
Third, it's called a right to privacy as well as the right to deny search and seizure. It's also his right to be informed of WHY he is being stopped.

You are forgetting something. He matched the description of a suspected felon. Innocent until proven guilty, unless maybe PR doesn't have the same kind of justice system.

There was a time way back, when I thought you were one of the good cops, if you are even a cop as you claim. Now it is not the case, if you really are a cop, you think too highly of that tin badge. I am swaying more to the side that you are not really a cop, but wish you were. A renta-cop maybe.

Dont get frustrated with him, he does this constantly. You give him facts, prove him wrong over and over and he repeats himself like a broken robot. Just let it go, you and I both know what rights were violated.
Keep this in mind the next time you come across the individual

I will then disregard everything you have to say, from now on. You have proven yourself as part of the enemy to the people. I don't care what happens to you from now on. I hope you wake up, and realize you are wrong. If not, if you get killed, I will not shed a tear. And I still think you are probably not a cop, but a rentacop that failed the dismal test to become a cop, and that is sad as hell. Keep licking the jackboots, it won't help you any. You will still be a failure.
The OP'er behaved in exactly the way that an innocent member of the public should behave

While I get your point, it complacency like this that is leading to the elimination of our rights.
I would have politely declined his requests until he had a better reason to search me. A cop does not have the right to put his hands on you, just because you 'fit a description'.

On the off chance your remotely intrested, this is where I stopped reading.
When you decide to rejoin the debate and want to understand how your rights work, let us know and we will answer your questions. If you want to continue your argument that is based on lack of knowledge, thats your problem.
oink oink thats the sounds of the police.... lol to funny man.. Typical response form a person who doesnt understand how the law works, let alone your own rights. Ignorance like yours is why you perceive rights are being violated.edit on 28-5-2011 by Xcathdra because: (no reason given)
