re: #129 Daniel Ballard

Did anything more legit than a hoodie make you think they were up to a crime?

Yes, but obviously that’s completely subjective, and we can’t write laws based on things like that. I used my camera as my ‘weapon’ of choice there— always a good way to deter people.

I really don’t get the line of reasoning that removes self-defense there. Unless there’s something criminal in the act of following someone, I don’t see how it could legally impact your right to self-defense.
