You have to respect this guy for his quick thinking. Pretending to be a pastor is a masterstroke. Alabama is a safer place due to the actions of these soon to be ex police officers.

In most states the police have the right to confirm your identity. If you do not comply, they have the legal right to apprehend you until that identity has been confirmed. Obliviously I do not know the laws of that specific state.

Some do
Others protect you from “Show me your papers” demands unless you are suspected of a crime.

The sad part of this story that is overlooked is that some racist asshole called the police in the scary looking man watering the flowers.

Actually, if the police have detained you based on a reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminality, they can demand identification. But otherwise, we have no obligation to identify ourselves to police officers unless we are on their property.

So your topic title is a lie. That figures. He was arrested for refusing to show his ID. I would have arrested him being black!

Not correct. If you get pulled over while driving, they can ask for ID, for example. And being pulled over is a temporary detention, not an arrest.

Is that a crime?

when you get pulled over its because you comitted a traffic violation and are under arrest,,

they cant just pull you over for no reason and demand ID,,
