Pursuit Driver
That's the area that should cause Zimmerman trouble ... the dispatcher said that they did not need him to follow the guy.newsjunky said:I heard the law explained and no where in it does it say you can follow someone who has not attacked you and start an altercation with him. The police dispatcher told Zimmerman that he had no business following the kid and to stand down.
I heard this morning that he has an arrest history, too. Not sure of any convictions. At least arrested for assaulting an officer and for domestic violence. Also he has apparently called police 49 times in the last year. That alone isn't all that odd given that he is neighborhood watch, though. It does bother me that no alcohol/drug test was done after the shooting. According to all reports I've heard/read, that is standard procedure and that one is going to be problematic for the agency. No matter if he was under the influence of anything or not, you don't break procedure ever but certainly not in such serious circumstances.
