I got arrested with around 10 cops around me for no giving my ID. They stopped me cause i had no dog muzzle on even though i had a mask exemption when i went to court. Plus i was arrested by a pretend cop who was not sworn in under the oath as i got that on a typed paper & they pursued me like a terrorist with a Chopper Police Cars & Drones. I was found guilty & fined. I was also endured another court case of crap they made up all fabricated bollocks to try to send to prison but i verbaly fought the cop & won. All this shit cause i was out buying Big Pharma stuff for my wife who was very sick & she was threatened to go into lockup as well. Well since 4 weeks ago The AUstralian Human Rights Commissioner verbally stated we no longer have any rights. So 2 weeks ago there were riots here in Melbourne about Sharia Law , so dont be surprised if that crap gets in as well for a Nanny Police State of Genocide.
Are they dumb or what??? I Noticed Cops don’t want to arrest the Bad Guys, All they do is arrest the innocent people, the weak 🤦🏼♂️… 🤡🗑
Isn’t the default for citizens freedom? Is this protecting and serving or tyranny since no crime was committed?
Literally talks her into tresspassing him, isn't that illegal in itself?
As one of the crimes he supposedly committed was trespassing… There are no "No trespassing" signs and he has not been "trespassed" but the deputy states that a crime he has committed.
These Cops are way out of line!
So what if he is from new York. Thete is a law that says we have a right to freely travel unmolested
Freedom of movement under United States law

Edit
Freedom of movement under United States law is governed primarily by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." Since the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), freedom of movement has been judicially recognized as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them."[1] However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement. Under the "privileges and immunities" clause, this authority was given to the states, a position the court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883).[2][3]
Seems like an awful lot of police encounters end in lawsuits. 😂🎉
He could be the dang Ole devil & that poor Ole copper wouldn't even know!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't she say she didn't want him trespassed but just told to move along?? I hope he gets that part of the BC footage and sues them
John has bigger balls than all three of those tyrant cops lumped together! I hope he sues!
Officer.
Just because someone made a phone call doesn’t mean you get to side step constitutional rights, sir.
You have to have what’s called probable cause, sir. In other words- would a reasonable human being consider what this man is doing to be a criminal? Would a reasonable human being consider this man to be a threat to society and need to be detained and handcuffed.
If the answer is No to anyone of these then you do NOT have probable cause, and you DO NOT have probable cause to demand his ID. Thats the measure. If you can’t treat every call and person like this? You have no reason being a police officer and you need your cert revoked.
There is never a crime until the cops show up; they are inventing crimes for no reason.
Hope he gets the $$$$
Yes, you get a call, and then instead of speaking with the complainant, you immediately assume guilt and begin the interrogations.
Comple, just touch your toes. Then the fun begins.
Are there any Adults in charge of these clowns?
Good for him for not giving up that ID!!! I like that he had the guts not to do that after being bullied and set up like he was. I hope he pursues legal action against them.
Sargent said: if somebody don't show ID this is a red flag for us!! What a constitution hater are they! How about the 4. ammendment? Did you heard about it? They should be fired and sued now!!
i need to see your ID to investigate your unwillingness to provide ID. do they not hear how stupid they sound? at this point in my life, i think they do. could be wrong
Great video. That guy was awesome at standing up firmly and calmly.
Learn the people's rights. And you will get along a lot better
I want to support the police, but so many of these cops are just fucking goons. Go find a real criminal.
GED HIRED.
Going to solicit a trespass, no chrime, inventing an issue. Pos cops
Why is it so hard for the ignorant cops, to understand, that if I have not committed a crime, or you can’t articulate a crime that you think I have committed, I don’t have to give you ID! If they would use that same energy to study the law , they might do better at their jobs!
P 9:23 😢they are are stupid so bad these cops should be sued and fired
The only concerning behaviour is the cops. That is is like crack.
Citizen – What crime did I commit
Cop – Nothing
Citizen – Do you want me to leave
Cop – No, but I want to see your ID
Citizen – If I have not committed a crime, I do not want to share my ID and would like to leave
Cop – Oh you can't leave, we suspect you are trespassing
Citizen – No one asked me to leave. You just told me I didn't have to leave. You just told me I had not committed any crime. Now you are refusing to let me leave and claiming that my refusal to leave is a crime.
Cop – Hold on, let me go solicit a trespass real quick.
Citizen – Ok, but even if you do that still just means I need to leave, which I already offered to do and you have prevented me from doing. It still would not give you legal authority to demand ID unless I refuse to leave, which again, I have already offered to do.
Cop – You are under arrest!
Everybody boycott that gas station do not give them your business.
These cops are taught nothing
And the cop in this video, is nothing but crooked. 🐷🐷
The conversation between the deputy and the supervisor was the dumbest thing ever. Do we really hire people like this ?
What is the statute for loitering? I’m guessing they didn’t charge him with that but I’m sure other police have and will try to use that to gain someone’s ID.
They hiring right out of high school. All of them with a chip on their shoulder
K now concern has changed to complaint…. Linguistic manipulation committed by crooked cops that are well past uneducated
So, the cops also illegally solicited a trespass.
The cops were in the wong for violating this mans rights and for the supervisor for allowing the arrest
They hiring right out of high school. All of them with a chip on their shoulder
Do these clown get qualified immunity on this one…..
Yet another bunch of cops that either have no ideas what the trespass laws are, or just don't give a damn. These fools have just created a slam dunk law suit for the guy!
Those cops a shame! Civil rights violaters! They should be fired and sued immediately, this is unacceptable. They are danger for the community!
Really wanted his 'glasses' to be a gun and witness some carnage.
Guilty until proven innocent, in West Virginia
No one even asked him to leave, unbelievable.
