If a school yard bully demands your lunch money, just giving it to him will reduce your chances of having your butt kicked too. That doesn't mean the bully has the right to kick your butt if you don't give it to him.
Completely invalid comparison since the police DID have a right to ask this woman for ID
For walking in to get her kids? Why exactly was she required to show the ID? If that was an issue, the cop would have had to have a valid reason to request it.
Why can't you have an honest debate? Seriously
Read about the case and it is clear. The police were going to write her a citation and asked her for her ID and she REFUSED.
That's a matter of record.
And when the police writet a citation, they have a right to ask you for ID, as opposed to merely asking you to identify yourself.
Sorry, but I went back and rewatch the video, and reread the link. They didn't say anything about any citation she was receiving. Obviously, she would have to produce an ID for that. What exactly were the citing her for, other than not showing ID?
The article wasn't clear on that, My guess, since the kids refused to leave when told to and the cops had to be called is that she was being given a no trespass citation. Which is normally just a "don't come here again, or next time you go to jail" it isnt even a fine, it's just a record for the police department that you have been told that you aren't wanted.
But the article DOES say that they were trying to write her a citation.
No it doesn't, and your imagining it doesn't make it so. The police chief, or whoever that was in the video said something about how people should behave when receiving a citation or being arrested, but there is nothing about her receiving a citation before her refusal to give ID. I know there are times when a cop has to handle things, but those times aren't determined just by whether he wants to.
