Q: Is it illegal to ise fire extinguisher if theres not a ffire. I got cited for disorderly conduct for using ome in house
I wass in my girls house and wanyed to see if it worked. The police came and i was ciyed for disorderlu conduct. Is there a law stating i cannot use a fire extinguisher? I refused to show my id bc i asked what crime i was being suspected of committing and he threw mw to the ground. Last i xhecked what i did is not an illegal act therwfore i dont need to show my id. The officer would not identify himself but i jave to?
A: Someone called the police. You were apparently using a fire extinguisher when it was not required. They can ask for your name. Throwing you to the ground is uncalled for and you may want to contact an attorney who handles those types of cases. If you don't know who, call me. If they are pursuing an investigation, based on a complaint received--which it appears it was--they can ask your name and ask for identification if you have it.
