Arrest. 544.180. An arrest is made by an actual restraint of the person of the defendant, or by his submission to the custody of the officer, under authority of a warrant or otherwise. The officer must inform the defendant by what authority he acts, and must also show the warrant if required.
Folks always equate arrest with getting cuffed or physically restrained.....sigh.
Page seven of the draft: A cop
can still disarm you under this proposed law. Will a cop disarm you, is a different question. There are cops now who do not disarm OCers and CCers.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting or otherwise restricting a health care professional from inquiring, documenting, or otherwise disclosing a patient's status as an owner of a firearm if such inquiry, documentation, or disclosure is necessitated or medically indicated by the health care professional's scope of practice and such inquiry, documentation, or disclosure does not violate any other state or federal law.
When is the disclosure of firearm ownership medically necessary or medically indicated?!? Does this have anything to do with mental capacity?
Whose idea was this? Slippery slope?
See page five: There is no criminal penalty for a fed who violates this law. No state, county, or local cop is going to arrest a fed, the wronged citizen must use a civil proceeding. It reads as if a MO cop cannot stop a fed unless someone is willing to define what "duty of" means. Example, a fed can not be arrested for kicking in my door by mistake while enforcing one of the laws MO don't like. And I'll betcha a MO cop will not stop my door getting kicked in wrongly and ultimately unlawfully, by a fed, after this bill is signed into law.
St. Charles County will have a county police force and not a true sheriff's office at some point in the future. How will that work out?
