Unbelievable Cops Part XXVIII

At 50 seconds, the cop said, “When an officer asks who you are, you have to provide identification.”

That power-tripping woman actually believes that people have to identify themselves to her. It’s amazing.

I don’t know what state that happened in, but most states have laws similar to 16-3-103 of the Colorado Revised Statutes:

A peace officer may stop any person who he reasonably suspects is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a crime and may require him to give his name and address, identification if available, and an explanation of his actions. A peace officer shall not require any person who is stopped pursuant to this section to produce or divulge such person’s social security number. The stopping shall not constitute an arrest.

At 55 seconds, the other cop says, “You’re not allowed to record without asking.”

The First Amendment says that Americans have freedom of the press. She thinks she can bluster her way around the First Amendment.

Thank God the guy was recording.
