Law Enforcement Breaking a Window?
I have an officer pull a guy over (good stop), asks for his DL, guy says you know my name so you don't need it. Guy refuses to get out, roll down window, give ID, nothing. Officer breaks out his window. I assume that violation of 38.02 P.C. is an arrestable offense and I assume he can break the window and pull the guy out. But does anyone know of case law or statute substantiating that? Thanks ahead of time.
