Since when does a mere complaint, or being "called to the scene" create a cause for citation and detainment? Doesn't the cop have to determine by their own observation and evidence that a crime was committed?
If someone makes a complaint against you, for whatever reason, does the cop then have the right to cite you?
She was disorderly. The YT lawyer & the police office mentioned trespass, so she likely was told to leave and rather than comply like a civilized person, she continued to argue. Somewhat like you.
Exactly. The copy was going on the assumption that a business manager was right and this woman was wrong.

It has created a cause for detainment since forever. To make an arrest or issue a citation, it would require the police to do some investigating, but a witness report is plenty to detain someone while that investigation is being conducted.
