Watch this video as a man, Andre Stockett, defends his rights at a routine traffic stop and police try everything they can to make him yield, even threatening to take their 2 week old baby to Child Protective Services, because he refused to show his ID.
Yes, this man could have shown his ID and perhaps avoided all the hooplah, but one should never be scared or to defend their rights, especially if they feel they might subject themselves to more of the same abuse if they do.
The incident happened in Sandusky, Ohio.
He is wrong nothing incorrect about police wanting to see id
No public employee should ever be allowed to join a union. That especially applies to LEOs. I have never said “F the Police” – won’t even use that kind of language. But those officers were soooo far off base. They should be fired, and NEVER allowed to wear a badge again. He was right – the Constitution does not allow them to delay him while they run a police dog in. First they should have never stopped them without probable cause – and I heard the officer say the stop was due to a concern that she wasn’t valid – obviously pretextual in itself, as they determined she was. Then the officer says it is because her lights weren’t on – but that is a bright sun in the sky. And they had no right to detain him – that is a very common police state tactic I’ve observed LEOs use in numerous cases. They have a right to request ID from the driver, not from a passenger. If it weren’t for the fact that police routinely violate the law like this – and assault and batter anyone who chooses to exercise their constitutional right to walk away – then he had the right to just walk out of that car and walk away. This was a travesty. And Bill, you want stuff like this going on, you move to another country where it is legal. In the USA, this police action was and is unconstitutional.
I hope he sues that city or county and cleans their clock – on behalf of all free citizens.
If this cop over stepped his bounds then I hope he is sued for MILLIONS and has to pay and the same for his employer and the leadership of that cop station and this cop are never allowed to be in any position of power or leadership or influence ever again. And that they are thrown into the nastiest jail in the gen. population with no protection for ten years.
