Unless these people are lawyers, I would say a forum is not a good place to seek legal advice.
Howdy Amigo!
And that should be of great comfort to you when surrounded by a cadre of cops telling you "ignorance of the law is NO EXCUSE".
It happened to one of the guys on this thread.... they said that to him.... and he was taken to jail.
But evidently, the cops did not know the law. Our friend did, and he stood on his KNOWLEDGE of the law. It was the cops that had no real excuse.
It was they who did not know the law. 5 cops, 3 of whom were sargeants, and not one of them knew the law.
Ergo, they ended up landing the city on the wrong side of a legal problem. A big one.
Thank goodness our friend KNEW the law... and stuck to his guns.
And he knew the law because we encourge reading the specific Colorado Revised Statutes,
the Colorado Constitution, the Colorado Bill of Rights, and similar documents to avoid "ignorance of the law" as he got busted by poor excuses for cops who did not know the law.
What really proves bad advice is telling somebody they should not ask questions of people who know (though not lawyers) what the laws are because they've done their homework and prepared for the possibility their RIGHTS would be called into question:
Article 2, Section 13. Right to bear arms. The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question;
How on earth would you exercise your RIGHTS if you DO NOT KNOW THEM??????
And who better to ask for specifics than the folks who exercise their rights every day of their lives?
