What law did Zimmerman break in following and observing Martin? We do not live in a police state where a 911 dispatcher's suggestion carries the force of law.

However, the fact that the dispatcher told Zimmerman that "you don't need to do that" may play a pivotal role if the Martin family sues Zimmerman in civil court. I will not be surprised if Zimmerman is acquitted in the criminal trial and then loses everything he owns in a civil trial. Finding one person responsible for another's death by the "preponderance of evidence," is much different than establishing them guilty of a crime beyond a "reasonable doubt."

Listen to the tape. The 911 dispatcher was the Sanford police.
