I've heard on this forum that MI has a stand your ground law. I just dealt with police for a fight (I'm at work as a security guard) and they said that MI has the castle doctrine. They went on to say that you have to retreat from an attack unless you are in your home because of the castle doctrine.
One of the cops got real rude when I said that I thought we had stand your ground here and is he sure he's correct. It seemed like he didn't like a lowly security guard questioning his knowledge.
Can someone please tell me which is correct? I have a feeling that the police are going to be back out tonight for another fight (this guy threatened to kick the other guy's ass when the cops left) and I would like to have something to show them if in fact MI is stand your ground and not castle doctrine.
