Since you know a lot about the law even if you aren't an attorney, I wonder if I could ask you your opinion about the law, EquiisSavant?
My friend's young teenage son has AS. He was out riding his bike one day, when a bully who had bullied him before told him that he had to give him his bike "or else".
Fearing for his personal safety, her son got off the bike and the bully took it. Then he walked home and told his parents what had happened and they took him to the police station to make a complaint. The police said that there was nothing they could do even though her son could identify the bully because her son voluntarily gave the bullly his bike.
Were the police correct in their assessment, or did the bully steal the bike?
To make it even worse, they later drove by the bully's house, saw the bike in his yard and took it back. When the police called them to follow up and they told them about this, the police said that they could be the ones who got into trouble for taking the bike back, not the bully bike thief.
