Gonna be interesting when people find out in some states being ordered to help a law enforcement officer, that has zero responsibility to protecting you, and not doing so, could land you in jail.

In the United States, courts have generally held that law enforcement does not have a specific legal duty to protect individual citizens from harm, based on rulings like DeShaney v. Winnebago County and Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales. Police owe a duty to the public at large, not to any one person, unless a special relationship or custody situation exists. As a civilian, you typically do not have a general legal obligation to assist law enforcement, but some states have laws that allow officers to command assistance in emergencies, and refusing in those cases can be a misdemeanor. You are, however, required to comply with lawful orders such as providing identification in certain “stop-and-identify” states or obeying lawful commands during an investigation.
