OC for ME

What is always missing from these scenarios is the nod towards "Officer Barney Fife, what exactly did you see upon arrival to the alleged..." Giving a pass to what cops see upon arrival as being irrelevant is how cops get sued. Good cops assess a scene based on what they see, right now and then make a decision based on the FACTS evident before them.... With that said let me give you this scenario. You are at a street corner ... In the cops' mind they are justified in detaining you since the caller called you're about to rob a store and have a rifle and an accomplice..... Suddenly what the cop thinks it is going on is totally different of what you know to be the truth. Moreover the cop has a good faith argument that he had to detain you...... But even like that once he gets the story straight he should abandon the detention. But if he wants to ID you and you lie during that detention...... See where I'm going..... These calls have happened before and you're only hope is that experienced good cops answer that call......
When cops roll up on you while you are OC, start recording, don't say a word, move like molasses in December.
