But once again, that would be a clearly defined situation. (IANOC)

Back to Starbucks -- Turning the tables, placing myself in the officer's position, had I noticed him, a person not in uniform and unknown to me, printing, my first thought would have been to suspect that he was an officer of some sort, too. I would not have, as my first reaction, conducted a felony take-down in the coffee line. That does <not> mean that I would have ignored it. Being non - OC, though, the manner in which I would have handled it would have been situation-specific. (IANOC)

Darn, I sure could use a cup of coffee right now...

Not only that, its a standard that every post certified police officer SHOULD BE WELL VERSED IN (christ, I hope they are teaching Terry?) when they leave the academy?
