The photo shows a woman in handcuffs that certainly looks like a street ho... in shorts that only Michelle 0bama, or one oc the Huxtable daughters would wear.

If you dress like a prostitute, the police may suspect that you are a prostitute.

I saw the headline elsewhere. “Black Actress Arrested For Kissing White Husband”. I didn’t even click to see what the story was since I am pretty sure it was nonsense.

Vanessa, Denise, or Rudy? The way this chick looks in the photo, I can see why the cops thought that way, she looks homeless

You may remember Watts from her appearance in Django Unchained

No, I wouldn't go near a movie where the hero is proud to have killed all the white people in the film. Talk about racism!

” the police may suspect that you are a prostitute.”

Is that enough for Probable Cause and detention?

"Your papers, please!"

Doesn't seem that long ago we weren't required to carry ID unless driving or going into a secure area. When did we become Nazi Germany?

California is not a “stop and identify” state. She had every right not to provide ID, and the cops had no right to detain her. She’s probably going to get a small settlement from the taxpayers of LA for her troubles.

Yes, she does look homeless. Plus...the article says she sat on his lap in a car and started making out. It was a fair question by the police.

She’s dressed fine. That’s California casual, and in all fairness, you don’t know why she’s out and about.

You must be one of those progressives provocateurs.

She made it worse for herself by ignoring the officers request to see her I.D., then continuing to walk away. Common sense tells most urban dwellers to show the officer the damn license or I.D. and be done with it. Now she wants to play drama queen turned victim. Her husband showed his I.D. and was not arrested.

Studio City is a nicer part of the valley..especially on Ventura Blvd, nice shops, if the cops see anything suspicious I can’t say I blame them for going up to them and asking questions

This goes to probable cause, did police have probable cause (for investigation) to talk to her? If no, end of story cops are wrong.

If the cops had probable cause, then she is required to identify herself verbally, she does not have to "show papers", but she must be truthful.

If the cops have probable cause to believe that she is untruthful or is involved in the commission of a crime, they may hold her for a reasonable number of hours (determined by local courts) to ascertain her identity.

Assuming that she was with her husband and that he identified himself verbally, I think the taxpayers are gonna take it in the shorts this time.

Yep, that's pretty much the gist of it.
