they are not duly sworn police OFFICERS, so I question their authority to give a “lawfull order.”

Even in the case of duly sworn police officers, there is no generalized obligation to obey police officers.

Laws narrowly prescribe those circumstances in which a police officer is legally allowed to order citizens around, such as for purposes of regulating traffic.

It's what distinguishes us from a police state (at least in theory).

The idea that progressives believe a police dispatcher has some sort of legal authority to order around citizens says all you need to know about progressives.

Wasn’t it another line he called? Not 911. ?
I read that on a thread here.

In most cases this wouldn’t reach a court; in this case I can’t wait to see what Judge they arranged to help the prosecution.
