over how often how old people are how often are you driving the left lane for five miles going NUMBER_TOKEN miles an hour i wasn't doing NUMBER_TOKEN miles an hour so how fast were you going i was doing NUMBER_TOKEN. and what happened you come flying up no i when i passed you i was going NUMBER_TOKEN miles an hour but if your car here that's not a police car had the radar in it you would know how fast i was going yes sir and i'm able to do speed estimations i'm sure you will be i guess um when you're a real police officer gets here i'm sure i'm gonna get some tickets all right well you just stay tight just hang tight okay what's your name would you like to identify yourself have you gone give me your driver's license uh you're not a police officer okay then you just said so you're refusing to identify you're refusing to identify yourself you're refusing to identify yourself even though you pulled me over mr barnwell refuses to provide his identification to officer mashburn because he is a probation and parole officer not a police officer probation and parole officers are assigned to monitor criminal offenders who are sentenced with probation instead of jail time or granted parole after serving time in prison the role and authority of probation and parole officers vary greatly between states with some states employing certified law enforcement officers in this role and others considering probation and parole officers to be court officials that serve more of a social work function than a police function along these lines some states consider a probation officer to be a peace officer and others do not there are also gray areas in between these two extremes with some states granting probation and parole officers limited peace officer status by empowering them with peace officer authority in certain situations in north carolina section NUMBER_TOKEN-NUMBER_TOKEN of the general statutes outlines the powers and duties of probation officers stating that quote a probation officer shall investigate all cases referred to him for investigation by the judges of the courts or by the secretary of public safety the statute details additional duties that probation officers have in managing the individuals on probation under their supervision and states that quote a probation officer shall have in the execution of his duties the powers of arrest and to the extent necessary for the performance of his duties the same right to execute process as is now given or that may hereafter be given by law to the sheriffs of this state therefore while probation officers in north carolina have limited authority to arrest their probationers they do not have a general peacekeeping duty and none of their duties or powers involve the public at large while it is possible that officer mashburn's conduct would be justified under the authority granted to probation officers in other states under the law of north carolina it seems clear that officer mashburn was acting outside the bounds of his authority as a probation officer when he stopped mr barnwell for driving aggressively am i being detained am i being detained sir because i've got to go home am i are you detaining me are you detaining me am i being detained hey i'm going to step out because you're crazy am i being detained because i need to be on my way is it or is this a lawful stop am i being detained are you detaining me are you detaining me is that hard to understand because
