[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 434153, member: 13090"] I'll just point out the 1st Amendment has nothing to do with being stopped and questioned by law enforcement, but the 4th Amendment certainly does, which reads in part: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated." From the moment the police arrived Jake was either free to go, or he was being detained (e.g. for questioning). If he was not being detained then he would be free to go at any time. On the other hand, if he was being detained for "reasonable suspicion" reasons there must be clear, specific and articulable facts in direct support of that and, while I'm certainly no attorney, I don't see, "He was seen walking around in broad daylight and took a photo of a school bus" as meeting any of those criteria.
