is this proper procedure for an officer
What is the name of your state? MI. My vehicle was parked half in and out of a handicap space it was 5 till 9pm on 12-28-04.
This was on private property a Halmark store and a Kroger.
The stores were just about to close and my son was driving I told him to pull in were we did, their were no other cars around the parking lot was empty and we were at least 4 handicap stalls away the furthest from the building plenty of room for any other handicap persons to park.
As we walked out of the store from buying my wife a aniversary card there was an officer pulling around the corner I got into the drivers seat because my son was scared he is only 16 and has never delt with the police. The keys were not in the ignition and we had not even closed the doors I just waited for him to come up to the car. I said to him that he must be kidding and he asked for my handicap registration. I told him we didn't have one he then asked for my drivers license I asked why he needed it and he replied do you not have one. I said I did and he demanded it. is this legal?
He proceded to run my lic. He came back and told me I had a no bond Warrant in Detroit for non-payment of child support wich I had receipts for in my wallet. He took me to jail for the warrant. My big ? is was this legal did he have the right to ask for my lic. on private property when I was doing nothing wrong. I always thought that the only time they could ask would be if you were suspected of comitting some type of crime. If I would have just stayed in the store the only thing he could have done was ticket the vehicle thnx.
