It's too bad that there isn't a blowhard liberal ex Sheriff or JP, coroner, or brand inspector on the site that could splain switchblade, spring assist, and probable cause to us in layman's terms so it'd be easier for us dumb conservatives to understand.

My first thought upon hearing he was arrested because he was carrying an "illegal" knife was to cry BS! He may have been guilty of past or present offences, but a knife is a tool in anyone's hands and only a weapon when used as such. I think they shouldn't have had much trouble to find legitimate offences for which to charge the man.

while I could be wrong, .. it is likely he was on either parole, probation or out on bail..

all of which would make running away a violation..

he shouldn't have died, but as usual, the press wants to make it look like he was another Obama child...

but then again,.. I might not understand the rules as I have never been on parole, probation or out on bail..

If a person is on probation or parole, there’s a good chance he or she has waived the right to refuse being searched.

A fourth waiver is a condition of parole or probation that says an individual has given up his or her Fourth Amendment protections against unwarranted searches and seizures while under state or county supervision. Though the term “fourth waiver” refers to the actual agreement, it’s often personified to describe someone who’s under such an order.

Usually police must have reason to believe a person violated, or intends to violate, the law when making a stop. But if a police officer knows an individual is a fourth waiver, he or she has no obligation to prove reasonable suspicion before initiating a search. The officer can conduct a body, vehicle or home search without cause, so long as it doesn’t cross the line into harassment.
