This is why EVERY single public servant w qualified immunity should be required to wear a body cam for the entirety of their shift and while acting in their official capacity off duty.
my first immediate question — does this officer know the name of the wrong-way driver? if not, how will getting their i.d.s help him?
The sheriff is Way too old, and has gotten away with murder his whole career.
This sheriff had a coffee cup that appears to have been coffee, worms, and stupid this morning. He also is under the influence of ID intoxication.
How would their ID help him determining that they were driving the van in question?
Does he have the identification of the driver that they are after???
The statute is not surprisingly missing the standard established by the 4th amendment. Based on what I read in that statute a cop could pull anyone over without a valid reason and demand a driver’s license.
“we didn’t break any law” Sheriff: “”I KNOW THAT, but on the other hand… I can legally ask for an ID” 🤦 ADMITS to no crime
Know your rights folks. Some of these out in the country cops are lonely.
He may have been a good cop at one time but after so many years he is convinced that HE IS THE LAW AND CAN MAKE UP THE RULES AS HE SEES FIT! ……………………sad
I love how he’s using this unfolding incident as an example to validate the education that he’s already provided to his children. This is how I do it as well.
I hope you followed through and took his immunity and part of his pension.
The sad fact is, these seemingly minor violations of our rights are not minor at all. This should have resulted in a federal lawsuit just to force that crooked sheriff to go through a deposition where he’d be required to admit on the record that he had no PC to stop the van, and even less to then demand ID. But, the average citizen will never have the time/money to do it. Cops know this, so they willingly violate our rights.
I.D. Refusal: This Officer Has An I.D. Fetish
It amazes me that public employees walk up to citizens and ask “Can I help you?” and then proceed to refuse to help you.
“I’ve never heard of a criminal who records his own crime.” Have you heard of a police bodycam? Those criminals record their own crimes all day every day.
This the kind of service we get with or without a camera
The police supervisor told them it was legal to film and sit there and do his story and these people still were upset.
There is no expectation of privacy in a public place.
This is one of the ONLY audits, where the Auditor made NO mistakes.
This is a post-graduate College Class for auditing. But it isn’t stressful(arrestable), and that makes a difference.
Anyone could write down what someone says. How is filming a breach of privacy when every single person in the lobby can hear and SEE the person? What logic from the staff and cops who have a combined IQ of 15 between them. Geniuses!
It’s amazing that, “ in this day and age” officers still always defer to violating the citizens rights.
