I might've missed it but did the officer ask the driver to step out of the vehicle and he refused? I know he refused to produce id. But did he refuse to open the door and get out too?

If that never happened then it's the only hangup in what was otherwise a good arrest.

yup, rol through a stop and then play "who is the bigger dickhead" with the cop, and this is what happens.......



With that said, the cop was also out of line....  a simple "I observed you roll through a stop sign, and need your license to issue a citation" would have put him in the right, but he decides to go full cartman.....  I hope that Sgt and Cpl got a tune up also, as they backed up a dick move, instead of deescalating & finding a peaceful solution.        



I aint got no time for assholes, but I got even less time for cops who abuse their authority.....

It is not an "abuse of authority" to lawfully require a traffic violator to produce their driver's license then not play fuck fuck games with them because they watched too many youtube sovereign citizen videos and mistakenly think they can put their own made up conditions on complying with the law.

It might be a huge headache for a pissant violation, but it is not an abuse of authority, and if everyone in this country refused to put up with fuck fuck games like that cop did our society wouldn't be so full of pussies who sit around thinking about how things could be 'deescalated.'

My armchair quarterbacking is that cops cannot demand ID from people for shits and giggles, but if you are suspected of a crime, like running a stoplight, then they can demand it.

Also, and this probably makes me a police bootlicker, but I get some kind of satisfaction from watching idiots getting dragged out of their car and cuffed while screaming about self-inflicted police "brutality".  Also, I kind of wish they tossed that obnoxious woman on the ground for being uncooperative.

You never have to identify yourself to the police. It is your 5th amendment right to remain silent.

Operating a vehicle on public roads and failing to produce ID, reg, and insurance when detained for a traffic violation is either a separate crime from the violation, or in some state's the violation itself is technically a crime so if you fail to produce ID they will take you to jail to identify you and let you go before a judge.

That stop is facing to the right in the video.  It is for traffic traveling right to left as you first view the street in the video, hence it is placed on the right side curb for that direction of traffic.

Everyone knows you don't go full retard.

That said use of force starts with tactical verbal skills, not ripping the window out and yanking him out of the car. Maybe start with step out of the vehicle, you are under arrest. And tactical verbal skills is not saying the easy way or the hard way. If someone asked why I pulled them over, I would just tell them. Goes both ways.

I believe you that law exists, but if the law allows arresting for failure to ID on a RS based Terry stop with no PC for a specific crime, it will not survive court challenges. Just a matter of a lawyer being tenacious enough to keep after it.

Letting the driver control the stop doesn't de-escalate things. Letting the driver play the "I am not cooperating until the officer answers my questions " game gives control to the driver. The driver thinks he can argue and fight the stop right there.  That makes everything worse.

Telling him why he was being pulled over would have definitely de-escalated things. To think continuing to be standoff-ish is somehow less likely to cause escalation is window licking.

Every PD around me in fact requires by policy that the first few things a driver hears when he's pulled over is "I'm ____ with ____ department, the reason I'm contacting/stopping you today is ____".

And for good reason. Stops any of this "why are you stopping me?" crap.

Gotcha. Well in my experience, if they want to continue an argument after you politely told them that you would let them know everything as soon as they handed over their ID, they're most likely going to go around in circles and argue about other shit once you answer their questions.

It's probably a safe bet that in this case, if the cop entertained the driver's reason request before handing his ID, the driver would have then started to complain about the reason and would refuse to hand over his ID anyway.

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
That's all true. Except for the part where you have to have violated the law to be pulled over. Not having probable cause has been going on longer than you've been alive. So, whether or not you committed a traffic violation, if you do not comply with the commands of the officer, whether those commands are lawful, warranted, or not, you will get your ass kicked in. And in many cases, they will destroy your property for good measure.
I have the added requirement of having to slip "I am a concealed handgun license holder" into that mess.

Americans have rights in court. Not on the street. You make the point well.

If you drive on public roads you must have a drivers license and provide that information to police when requested, failure to do so is an arrestable offense. Failure to provide identification.

We have no legal obligation to inform a driver why they were stopped, it's a courtesy.

He could of told the driver why he was stopped and then an argument could of happened if how he didn't violate whatever traffic code.

Some cops conduct traffic stops the way the cop in the video do and some don't.

Driver was an asshole and got just what he deserved. Just walking down the street minding your own business you do not have to produce your papers. When you are driving you do have to produce your drivers license and registration.

The law as far as I know doesn't say " you will produce drivers license and registration AFTER the officer informs you why you were stopped."

The officer is  probably  sick and tired of listening to jail house and shit house lawyers trying to enforce THEIR version of the law on him.

Driving a car?  Give the officer your license and registration when asked or go to jail for identification.  Real simple.

Get the law changed to " the officer shall state the offense BEFORE asking for ID"  if you think it is going to make one bit of difference in a traffic stop/change the outcome.  WTF?  Think you are going to argue and win at the side of the road?   Until then , follow the law or get treated like this dude did.

In the couple of times I have been stopped in 43 years of driving, it has always been " license and registration" and then " do you know why I stopped you " then  " because you were speeding" or " you have a burned out tail light."

I was able to contain my desire to know why I was stopped for the 30 seconds it took for the officer to get to it.

Driver was an asshole.  But why did they cuff the wife at the end of that shit show?  It didn't seem that she did anything except sit there.
