If you witness police misconduct, you do not have the right to impede the police. Regardless, there was no way for him to form an accurate belief about whether misconduct was occurring. The agents have no duty to provide a warrant to a bystander, even if he is a government official.

Wrong. There is a moral right to impede unjust authority.

> The agents have no duty to provide a warrant to a bystander, even if he is a government official.

So you're ignoring the fact that the officers didn't show a warrant to anyone, including the individuals they seized?
