True, the right of a person to use force in resisting an illegal arrest is not unlimited. He may use only such force as reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the unlawful restraint of his liberty. State v. Allen, supra. See also State v. Glenn, 198 N.C. 79, 150 S.E. 663. And where excessive force is exerted, the person seeking to avoid arrest may be convicted of assault, or even of homicide if death ensues, 4 Am.Jur., Arrest, Sec. 92, but in no event may a conviction of the offense of resisting arrest be predicated upon resistance of an unlawful arrest. State v. Allen, supra; State v. Belk, supra; Prosser on Torts, p. 165. But Americans really know what happens if you try to resist a cop, legal or illegal arrest.

Should be easy to prove driving without a license.

I did some research into Thai police official gun carry and found out that Thai cops have to buy their own guns. The Thai cops can buy whatever they prefer and can afford in Thailand. Even if the gun doesn't have a safety their holster should have a retention system. Also, cops should be exercising trigger discipline (their finger should be outside of the finger guard until ready to shoot).

False misquote per Wikipedia. Also this case is from 1893, lol. Internet meme[edit] Plummer v. State, along with Bad Elk v. United States,[14] is cited in Internet blogs and discussion groups but often misquoted.[15] The misquote is that "citizens may resist unlawful arrest to the point of taking an arresting officer's life if necessary" although the Plummer quotation is a fabrication because the quoted text does not appear in the text of the Plummer opinion.[16] Several other sources note that Bad Elk is no longer good law,[17] what one legal commenter stated was a "bizarre, irrational or merely grossly wrong understanding of law...."[18] Modern sources describe Plummer and Bad Elk as applying when there is an unlawful use of force rather than when there is an unlawful arrest; under contemporary law in the majority of U.S. jurisdictions, a person may not use force to resist an unlawful arrest.[19]

Not all guns have safeties.

The brothers are blacklisted per Bangkok Post.

Ok, so the brothers' parents have money money. "Retired Hamilton multi-millionaires Laurence and Katrina Day say Governments should be forced to listen when the public speak via referendums and they've given $675,000 of their own money to Colin Craig's Conservative Party's election campaign in support of that belief. Electoral Commission filings yesterday show the couple tipped another $500,000 into the Conservative Party campaign war chest, adding to the $175,000 they have previously donated to the party. Mr Day, who received more than $10 million for his share of a private training organisation when it was sold recently, yesterday indicated he'll be giving more to Mr Craig's party and said: "Watch this space."" The cops should be aware of this by now.

So the parents own 1 house in Auckland?

The "true story" is the one with the best video. Yeah, I think Thai police is a bit embarrassed right now.

Those two clowns claimed self defense against a police officer. Has that successfully worked in any country after putting a police officer in a headlock and taking away his gun? It is resisting arrest in all cases, in all countries.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Quite the pattern of incidents now.

Off with his head! ❤️🫅❤️

As greedy as a pig...

Foul play suspected? If he had his hands tied behind his back it would have been an obvious suicide.

Thai ladyboys seem to be physically bigger than Thai guys.

Some posters on AN: But what was the horse doing before the alleged sexual assault? We need to get the American's side of the story.

Your Thai bar girl after you leave town...

Again this case keeps getting juicier and juicer. Phuket Governor recalled from Germany, lol.

My total was 304. My LDL was 220. Oh, a doctor actually recommended statins to me decades ago. I had a bad reaction to Lipitor and decided to swear off of statins. I should have tried another one. I can tolerate Crestor just fine now.

Well, you can still do everything right and still die. A 73 year old Swiss cyclist was killed in Bangkok a couple of weeks ago by a hit and run driver. What was he doing? Exercising. Ironic, huh? Two decades ago, I asked a friend's uncle why did he buy lunch everyday. Wasn't it cheaper to bring something from home? He said he wanted to enjoy his lunches because he might die from a heart attack at any time. A decade later he died of a heart attack while hunting. I think someone in their 60s like your friend know what kind of compromises he is willing to make. Also, if your friend has been in Thailand for awhile he has already partied like a rockstar. It may or may not be his time to go, but if he has to go--he partied like a rockstar.

Not much really. I think I will keep my gym membership year round now but I still don't exercise enough. I take pills now. Taking pills is easy.

I had the bypass surgery last year. In my 50s.

Oh, I had a heart attack and got bypass surgery. I showed those doctors though! Now I'm taking a bunch of pharmaceuticals whereas the only thing I took regularly before was a daily multivitamin. I was and still am pretty lazy in terms of physical exercise. Physical exercise >>> drugs But you can't outrun a bad diet.

Do you have fields you need tilling?
