as is the bit about him issuing an order and it being illegal to disobey an order of a police officer…me thinks he over reaches in his justifications.
also, hurray for the kid on a bike following him around while he was doing some shady ass shit, er looking for a mountain lion.
having lived my entire life in mountain lion country, one doesn’t find a mountain lion driving around like this as they are excellent hiders and perchers. also this is animal control’s duty.
