Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Neighbor reported suspicious black man who turned out to be her neighbor. Black man, likely with victim mentality, refuses to cooperate with simplest of requests and do normal person stuff. Police responding to report of suspicious activity and making simple request for ID are the obvious bad guys. BLM forever! I read the OP without knowing the pastors race and it didn't change my mind. Police were wrong and quite honestly their kind of mentality about being able to see anyone's ID anytime they want needs to fucking stop. 100% this. Lol. I bet y’all change your tune when some random guy on your property tells them to fuck off when they ask for an ID. |

unless if i read that wrong it sounds like he refused to state what he was doing there. Why couldn't he just say he was watering the flowers? Seems like that would have been the end of that.

Quoted: They typically have to have a reason to be stopping you for a traffic stop. It is my understanding that in most cases there is no law requiring them to inform you of that reason. But, they would have to explain that reason to a court, if you challenged them. That said, I assume they can always find some reason, as needed. View Quote Right. I mean if you're stopped while operating a vehicle on a public road or highway, that's perfectly understandable, but you're presenting your operator's license primarily, the other info is incidental. Demanding govt issued ID while operating a garden hose? That's a different situation. |

Quoted: Showing an ID during a traffic stop has absolutely NOTHING to do with the OP's article. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: "You will show ID" - doesn't matter if we suspect you of a crime, or just want to pull you over for "reasons". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbBFaWzMHAQ You know damn well that wasn't a legit traffic stop. I do realize there is no way for the driver to prove that, however. The cop just has to say "he turned too wide" "he accelerated too fast". The point is, the police legally can't just pull over eny random car and demand ID - they must have a reason to pull it over first. |

Quoted: Whether he was “required” to or not, wouldn’t have just been a lot less drama for all involved if the Pastor had just showed his ID to the cops? The neighbor owes everybody (cops and Pastor) a beer and pizza night. View Quote Nope. He verbally told them who he was, and what he was doing. That was all that was required. If the cops weren't fucking stupid, the would have seen the wet plants and ground, and gone on their way. But being fucking stupid, they escalated the situation, and now they will pay. Because they are fucking stupid. |

Quoted: They still charged him after the neighbor who called 911 came out and tried to stop them. That's what you get for being uppity! View Quote Everything that happened prior to this point in the story is consistent with everybody acting in good faith and being good people trying to work it out while at the same time being highly suspicious of each other. Up to this point everyone gets a pass. When the dude still gets arrested after he is declared righteous by the 911 caller, at that point you know there is at least one asshole present. I can't say who it is (it could be everybody), and I'm sure there are more facts to the story than the sensationalist article gave us. (leaning 70% it being cops, 30% pastor). |

Quoted: In Alabama, must you present photo ID in order to identify yourself? Full name, address, etc., insufficient? View Quote Address Reason for being in public AFAIK, he complied. Lazy cops will just demand ID for the first two (especially if the real motive is UNA). Pastor will spend $3-4K on attorney and PI to convince the DA to drop. This is from prior experience with a reverse UNA in 2009. That plus 8 hours in the county jail was my damage. |

A guy that doesn't live there, with a vehicle that doesn't belong there, and he is not cooperative and tries to walk away. Well, seems pretty simple. I'll wait for the bodycam to make a full opinion on it. The witness saying she recognized him after the arrest does nothing.

"A sheriff or other officer acting as sheriff, his deputy or any constable, acting within their respective counties, any marshal, deputy marshal or policeman of any incorporated city or town within the limits of the county or any highway patrolman or state trooper may stop any person abroad in a public place whom he reasonably suspects is committing, has committed or is about to commit a felony or other public offense and may demand of him his name, address and an explanation of his actions." |

From the article: Officers responded and made contact with Jennings, who did not have his identification on his person. Jennings said he did tell the officers who he was and why he was there. “He said, ‘Give me some ID’, I said ‘No, I don’t have to give no ID because there ain’t no crime been committed, I said but what I will do is I’ll tell you I am Pastor Jennings and I live right across the street right there and I said you can go ask my wife,” said Jennings. If the account the pastor gave is accurate, and I suspect it is, he followed the law and the officers did not. |

The point is, the police legally can't just pull over eny random car and demand ID - they must have a reason to pull it over first. Now how in the actual fuck would I know that? Stops are performed all the time on individuals that haven't committed an actual, observed, traffic violation. (That dude has a warrant, that dude's suspended, we are looking to arrest that dude because of charges for xxxxx case) Sometimes there are reasons we want to get to a certain point in the stop before we tip them off as to what is going on. IMO the officer could have handled that better but to make the claims you are making is wildly off base without further proof. At one point the officer even mentions the driver being suspended if I heard correctly. Which, again, has absolutely nothing to do with some dipshit officer arresting someone for being invited onto someone else's private property. |

You don’t have to be a psychic to have figured out this whole shitshow without unlawfully arresting a citizen. All those cops needed was a little bit of common sense and critical thinking, stuff which they all lacked. Until you have the actual owner of the property tell you someone can’t be on their property, you should treat anyone on that property with respect and not like a criminal unless you see them commit a crime or about to commit a crime. Demanding ID without reasonable articulable suspicion is a cancer and should stop. |

If the pastor is a Christian he was wrong in his approach to the police...
The police were wrong as to not call the man's wife or walk across the street to verify his ID. It was all handled in a childish petty manner. |

The officer is there investigating someone that the caller said shouldn't be on the property. most stated require you identify yourself to law enforcement upon request as long as the officer has a legal reason to stop you. being a suspicious person on property that is not yours is a legal reason for an investigation. If your supposed to be there that will come out during the investigation. The second he refused to identify himself he committed a crime. If officers just allowed every person that refused to identify themselves go unidentified and unarrested , there would be alot of unsolved serious crimes. He wasn't arrested for any other reason than refusing to comply with the lawful order of identifying himself. had he been a burglar that the officer just let go because he didn't want to cooperate with the investigation. you would say the officer was lazy or afraid. the cops don't know who he is or why he is there. they had reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. that does not require an actual crime being occurred. all they need is enough to investigate and identify the person, if the person refuses...you go to jail. simple as that. The level of BLM like cop hate on this forum in recent years continues to baffle me. |

The cops could have “investigated” the suspects claims and walked ALLLL the way across the street to see if he lived there and was lying. Or they could have listened to the PERSON THAT MADE THE COMPLAINT and realized she made a mistake in the identity and it was indeed her neighbor. Or they could proceed to arrest a PASTOR who had permission to be where he was in his own neighborhood just because he didn’t lick their fucking boots hard enough. These cops should be demoted to meter maid or some other job without arrest powers or just plain fired. They clearly lack any critical thinking skills whatsoever and have far too fragile egos to handle any kind of authority. |
