  • Disturbing the peace? Drunk & disorderly? =P Man, what a good idea, tho!
  • After they got through tasing you and beating you with their nightsticks you mean? Would it really matter at that point?
  • YES as a former state trooper told me when I was taking his criminal justice class, its called a P.O.P. Pissing off Police. Seriously you can be arrested for that. If you make a cop mad they can find any old law to arrest you. You would be surprised how many ridiculous laws there are.
  • Yes.Its against the law to scare people. Its a type of tort if they do not expect it, and if they see you coming and you scare them its assault. A teenage boy jumped out from the corner of a building to scare an elderly lady and she had heart attack and died on the spot. They charged him with battery,manslaughter in the 3rd and malicious intent, he got 5 years.
  • OhOH im going to try that!!!!!!
  • It depends on the officer. No if the officer takes it as a HAHA...but yes if the officer takes it as something else, and the reason behind the madness is because of all the terrorist attacks. An officer can arrest or charge you for doing such on the grounds of intent to harm or betray. I am not sure of the exact charge but it falls under the, "Don't mess with the police in a world of terrorism" rule.
  • Does this really sound like a good idea to you? You want to startle someone who is rather heavily armed (at least one pistol and a night stick) and is well trained in hand-to-hand combat. If you ask me, that sounds like a recipe for trouble. As others have pointed out, at the very least the cop could find some offense on which to arrest you. At worst, you could startle him into a violent reaction that left you seriously injured and I would not hold the cop responsible if he did hurt you. What you are proposing is about the same as pulling a toy gun on a cop. In the split second of perceived threat the cop does not have time to think. Therefore, he must act on instinct and training, which could get you hurt. Never fool around like this with people who carry fire arms. It can be very bad for your health.
  • you may if it offends the public.
  • Halloween??
