Is there a legal requirement on the police to de-escalate people who refuse to obey the law, or is there a legal requirement for people to obey the law in the first place and de-escalate their own unlawful behavior when confronted by the police? I'll give you a hint, the former doesn't exist except in the mind of the ACLU and some idiotic department policies. The latter has been the law of the land since longer than you've been alive. If you commit a traffic violation you don't get to put conditions on when you produce your documents. You stopped being in control of the interaction when you violated the law and got pulled over. The officer doesn't owe you an explanation before you produce the documents you are required to carry when operating a vehicle. The interaction can consist entirely of "Give me your license and registration" and "Here is your ticket for xxx." Explaining the reason for the stop is just the polite thing to do, not a legal requirement, and you most certainly do not get to play the "You have to tell me what I did" game. View Quote |

Calvin Jones is a racist. He wouldn't cooperate with the cop because the cop was white.
This makes more sense than the ACLU's position. |

The fourth amendment doesnt say, nor has it ever been held to require, that probable cause be stated by an investigating officer to the accused at any point before an arrest. Because it doesnt require it. . Its also never been held to erase probable cause if the investigating officer doesnt disclose it. Quoted:
It doesnt matter what you "think", amd your posts confirm thst youre using that term loosely. Your subjective thoughts on what cops should have to do is neither relevant to a critique of this cop's actions, not is it interesting Quoted:
My position does NOT require me to state a position on infraction versus criminal act, because the fourth amendment doesnt require it for a crime, which is what the courts are looking at in most reviews of this subject. If its not required for a suspected crime, then even if an infraction "should be" a crime, it is not a requirement that a cop state probable cause on the roadside. Quoted:
And, of course, practically speaking, it solves nothing. The combative people are simply going to proclsim that they didnt do whatever the cop says he saw them do. Quoted:
Stop trying to slice up my posts in some half assed crusade to pretend something is "funny as hell" or that you get to use my words aganst me. Quoted:
Youve yet to catch me in a contradiction, or make some reasoned argument that my statements are incorrect. Wow, youre a regular Clarence Darrow. Its impeccable English, special ed. Youre dismissed. |

Good arrest. He blew a stop sign and then refused to cooperate.

The cop is a moron. So is the driver. I put more blame on the cop though. He should have been more professional and less inclined to violence over stupid shit. He massively overreacted in my opinion. Seems to be a theme in US law enforcement at this point. Escalating to the point of violence over minor stuff than can and should be handled peacefully.

funny how the police tape starts after the car is past the stop sign.
same car that purportedly blew a stop sign, voluntarily stopped at the following unmarked sign? hard to believe. from the above, the logical extrapolation is the reason the cop didn't tell him why the stop is he knew it was bs. |

agreed the officer could have de escalated this by just telling him why he was stopped. I would guess there was no valid reason. so officer friendly became not so friendly.

I have run into both types of cop growing up in the hood, 90% where cool dudes no issues. The other 10% they think they are controlling the situation but the reality is they are just ramping up the tension and putting their own careers at risk. I am pro LE but fuck help me out being pro LE and stop shooting yourselves in the foot. Think about how this looks on camera, and yes cops need to always be thinking that.

It's Taylor. Taylor is a shit hole that gets shittier by the day. The cops are revenue generating assholes. Everyone I know that lived there has a shit opinion of the police department and has moved out as soon as they could afford to. This is a classic example of why the place is a shit hole. Anyone who has a good job moves away and hoodrats move in. I had to drive through there to get to work for 20 years, after I saw how they operated, I never spent a cent in that dump and frequently detoured through Detroit to avoid it. That cop was probably commended for the way he represented the department. It's exactly the tone they set. View Quote |

Now, I'd like your license, registration, (and proof of insurance) please Real world: They are either gonna give you the license or not. It is best to get their ID FIRST. That way, if they drive off after hurting you, you have their ID. If they don't give the ID up, and wanna ask questions and but why but why, the stop needs to go in a whole different direction. You as the motorist should never, ever, ever be given control of the stop. You don't get to decide where to stop. Or when / if to cough up ID. These things always end badly for all involved, and typically worse for the motorist than the officer. My response had always been 'we'll discuss things AFTER you produce your identification.' I don't discuss things with people that decline to identify themselves. It's not safe, and a clear sign the stop is escalating. And, you legally have to identify yourself to an officer conducting a criminal investigation. Period. Full stop. If you don't, that's an offense separate to the original reason for the encounter. Just how it is, and how it needs to be. |

I see your points but I don't think "i pulled you over for expired tags, running a stop sign whatever" impedes this process. Like you said they will ID or they won't the way I see it though it's either a talk like adults stop or a put a gun to their face stop. This appears to have been dick measuring stop. How does this look to the public? It looks like a dick measuring contest. View Quote The sooner you understand that, the sooner it starts to make sense. I guarantee that's not that cop's first day on the job... he's dealt with a**holes like this before. When they start refusing to produce ID (or claiming they don't have any) it's usually because they have warrants, are trying to weasel out of the stop, or are going to try to bogart you. Neither can be permitted to stand. Unless you want a passive/reactive police force, where officers back off at the first sign of resistance (especially if there's a racial angle), you better get off the Officers' tip when they are in a position where they have to force compliance. You might THINK that you want smile-and-wave policing (as BLM does), but you'd better think again... and be prepared for the whirlwind if the passive model replaces our existing model of policing. It's called the Ferguson Effect. Google it. |

If you tell them first it will the majority of times lead to street side court and them not releasing the ID till after much discussion. Usually have to as in this case have to threaten to arrest them in order actually get it. |

I wouldn't. I'm surprised, honestly. That guy didn't want to know why he was being stopped. He wanted to argue. Whatever the officer said the reason for the stop was, he was going to think, hell naw, I dint do that, so I don't owe this guy jack shit. Then it goes down hill from there. If he had said, sir, you ran the stop sign, what do you think the next thing you heard would've been? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Thats a lot of work to try to pretend youre correct. Youre not, though. So now youre pretending that if i quote a discussion of some point, but do not say something about the entire quote, then you get to tell me what i think about the part i did not speak to? Is that the way this works? No wonder you persist in thinking youre doing well. You could really use a clue. Ive been utterly consistent, clear, and correct. The fourth amendment doesnt say, nor has it ever been held to require, that probable cause be stated by an investigating officer to the accused at any point before an arrest. Because it doesnt require it. . Its also never been held to erase probable cause if the investigating officer doesnt disclose it. It doesnt matter what you "think", amd your posts confirm thst youre using that term loosely. Your subjective thoughts on what cops should have to do is neither relevant to a critique of this cop's actions, not is it interesting My position does NOT require me to state a position on infraction versus criminal act, because the fourth amendment doesnt require it for a crime, which is what the courts are looking at in most reviews of this subject. If its not required for a suspected crime, then even if an infraction "should be" a crime, it is not a requirement that a cop state probable cause on the roadside. And, of course, practically speaking, it solves nothing. The combative people are simply going to proclsim that they didnt do whatever the cop says he saw them do. Stop trying to slice up my posts in some half assed crusade to pretend something is "funny as hell" or that you get to use my words aganst me. Youve yet to catch me in a contradiction, or make some reasoned argument that my statements are incorrect. I'm not saying press charges against the cop I am saying as a public employee I expect a smile until an ass beating is warranted and I think he could have gave the reason for the stop with a smile at the point cop decides he is going to prove who has the bigger dick. Further if I was cops boss that would earn him a shitty review. |

The guy knew why he was being stopped. He stopped in the middle of the road after he noticed the officer. Classic. View Quote I like the asshats that keep driving when you've lit them up, and only stop juuuuust on the other side of some railroad or streetcar tracks, hoping you'll either park on the tracks, or park on the other side of them, and give them extra room/time escape. Or the ones who try to partially pull-over, or pull in at an angle in a turn-off, with their ass-end sticking out, so you can't quite see the driver's door, and you're forced to expose yourself to greater risk from traffic if you actually want to circle left behind the vehicle to see them. Or the ones who pull over just on the other side of a busy intersection, so there's no room to get behind them without blocking the intersection. They're hoping your cruiser blocks traffic, or gets hit... or you're distracted enough by the traffic that they can make a move, or you'll be distracted enough to cut the stop short, or not look around as hard as you otherwise would. People in the hood absolutely do things like that on purpose. |

That is a prime example of assholes colliding. At any point either of those men could have de-escalated that situation. Instead they both wanted to roll around on the ground.

View Quote The driver knew he had to give up his license, but he decided to go full sovereign... and P Barnes was willing to oblige him. He got PRECISELY what he was asking for. A stupid prize was awarded, and deservedly so. |

The cop is a moron. So is the driver. I put more blame on the cop though. He should have been more professional and less inclined to violence over stupid shit. He massively overreacted in my opinion. Seems to be a theme in US law enforcement at this point. Escalating to the point of violence over minor stuff than can and should be handled peacefully. View Quote |

How would you have handled this? Let him go in order to set the next police officer this guy interacts with up for failure? View Quote They don't know or understand what they're looking at, and have no idea what kinds of concrete changes/policies they'd write to make it better (while still having effective policing)... they just know that they don't like it. |
