Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostYes, you can be charged, but no reasonable judge/jury....
I took a couple criminal law classes back in my college days the professor put forth the following scenario (which I'm paraphrasing);
Let's say that a homeowner hears someone break into his house in the middle of the night and arms himself as he goes to investigate and from the top of the stairs sees someone skulking about with what appears to be a pistol in his hand. The homeowner switches on the lights and sees that the person, who he does not recognize, is indeed armed, and orders him to drop his weapon. Instead the intruder, without saying a word, spins around and draws a bead on the homeowner. Not wanting to get shot the homeowner opens fire first.
It turns out that the intruder is a police officer. He was not wearing anything that indicated this. He didn't identify himself as a police officer. And while he had a warrant it turns out that he misread the address and entered the wrong house.
Can the homeowner be arrested and charged with shooting the officer.
The answer is yes.
Even though the owner did absolutely nothing wrong, if you shoot a cop you can pretty much expected to be arrested and possibly even charged at least until things get sorted out.
I'm always still in trouble again
