Hold on.... wrong ordinance--- too many Madisons-- will put up the correct one momentarily.

Disturbing the peace, kidknapping, and theft to name a few of the illegal actions of the Madison police. At least that's what it would be called if you did what they did.

If the police are going to write a citation for obstructing an officer in the investigation of a crime .... would it be unreasonable to require that there should be a reasonable, articulable suspicion that a crime is occurring, has recently occurred, or is about to occur?
According to the police, the citation is for obstruction, by not providing the police with identification while they were investigating the crime of not identifying oneself?
Does anyone have a link to the article by Kevin Reak (sp?) that was sent to the Wisconsin Police Chiefs in a newsletter that says they should NOT rely on HIBEL?
I'm guessing the Madison PD never received Van Hollen's memo over a year ago. /sarcasm
I remember another incident with Madison PD a year ago about a guy walking on State Street. I forget who it was though. I can't believe they'd risk another "incident."
