From the audio, he didn't seem to believe he was dealing with a criminal, but couldn't just let it go. Why?
Yeah, like a cop performing his duties and asking you to ID yourself in a public place is the same thing as a government spy organization listening to your private phones calls.
I'd tell the "average person" to fuck off, because it's none of his/her business. It is the business of a police officer in the performance of their duties.
When a cop asks for your ID, you're not "giving them more power than that to which they are entitled", you're following the law. The moment we all get to decide on the spot whether or not to obey a cop's order then we might as well have no cops at all.You trust police officers waaay too much. They're just people, like the rest of us. People with a [Mark May]load of power. And I'm not willing to give them more power than that to which they are entitled.
The incident which created this thread had nothing to do with a "big collar", a drug offense, or a cop's big ego, but rather the polar opposite.I'm coming from personal experience in the criminal justice system. I see it every day. I have seen what the police do when you give them too much power. They are humans and they have egos. They'll do whatever it takes to make a big collar, particular with respect to drug offenses. And they'll cross the line. They'll lie about it. And we pat them on the back.

Questioning police authority--when you have a valid reason to--is fine by me. Questioning every mundane thing they do is not. Go back and read my posts and try to comprehend where I talked about a cop just arbitrarily going around asking folks for their ID. Again, I have to remind you that in the incident which is the genesis of this thread, the cop stated exactly why he was there and why he was asking for her ID. All she had to do was comply rather than act like a California Urban Nubian Tramp.The moment we decide to stop questioning the authority of police officers, we might as well have no rights at all.
So, you get to ignore the decisions made by the highest judicial authority in the land--as laid out in the Constitution itself--just because you don't agree with it. Fine. I coming over to your house, stealing your TV, and shitting in your yard, and the cops can't arrest me because I don't agree with the law.It's all part and parcel of the same problem created by the Supreme Court. Letting the police arrest someone for not giving them their ID is just another symptom of a system that has allowed law enforcement, in general, to do just about whatever they please.

The "Django Unchained" actress who cried racism against the LAPD ... claiming they harassed and hurt her because she was just making out with her white boyfriend in a car -- has some explaining to do, because we obtained pictures that seem to show A LOT more than sucking face.
The pictures were taken Thursday outside the CBS lot in Studio City. You see Daniele Watts straddling BF Brian -- their hands steadying themselves around the sunroof.

As an African American man, it pisses me off when some fool ass claims racism when they were doing wrong in the first damn place. It affects the true victims of racism and bigotry by lessening their claims. It deadens us to the cry of actual oppression when it is truly there.
Well, I'd say after those pics and listening to the audio, not only is she a liar - but literally asked to be arrested. She got caught, tried to pull the race card and fame story, argued to the bitter end. There's really no way you can be in her corner at this point.
