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.
Better to stay in the car with a recorder running
it was his choice not to show an Id. however there is no law that says you have to– just a real hard time from the cops…. still better to show one

“It does appear that most are not guilty because of a patrol stop. The judicial system determine guilt. Police remember are employees,and employees can be fired. Some employers find difficulties firing public service employees .”

Ohio law requires you to produce you drivers license or ID card upon the request of an officer. Your license or ID are property of the state of Ohio.
Just keep flying your flag!
@John Tolbert-the regulation you are citing (according to it’s own wording) applies to the driver. The driver complied. As far as the passenger is concerned, first it was because he “fit the description” of someone with warrants. To which he responded “That’s every black male!”
Then it was because the dog hit on the car.
I am a big time supporter of law enforcement and I’m usually quick to jump to their defense, but they seem to have been out of bounds here and your point isn’t backed up by your own regulation.
Does anyone know the outcome of this case?
Time to break the chain of obedience. No reason to tolerate abuse of power.
Show your damn ID and get on with your life.
Fire the cops and give the commie bastards some street justice. Their department can recover their bodies later. Names and addresses will help the people of the community know who these commies are and treat them accordingly.

“Robbie’s exactly right. He stood his ground and he has a case to press if he wants to sue. As soon as the DA sees the video evidence they will drop charges and apologize in the hopes he doesn’t sue.”
