The cops were polite enough but there was no reason to ask for ID.
True about ID. I guess it was good they were polite or she could be dead right now. Sorry but that is actually getting close to the truth. That 5 percent “bad apple” cops is really doing a ton of damage to the cops reputation in general.
If the police have a valid reason to stop you they have the right to your name and date of birth to ID you.
Since could have cited Ms. Bland for a pedestrian violation...i.e. a ticket....they had the right to ID her.
They were polite, explained why tjey were stopping her, they were calm, they were friendly.....
They were doing their job.
“The cops were polite enough but there was no reason to ask for ID.”
I agree but the police are trained to always ask. She could have refused.
Standard procedure with lots of precedents.
cops always ask for ID
misdemeanor not enough to ask for ID?
