“Then you shouldn’t be defending the cop, either, who also was in the wrong here.”

Usually I am against cops who abuse their authority. I am a libertarian. check my page. In this case however, the guy was being such a jerk, for no reason other than to annoy and waste everyones time. I sympathize with the cop and the store this time.

The guy called the cop because HE was being illegally detained. The cop demanded information that he was not legally allowed to ask. Ohio law states that the cop could only ask for name, address, and date of birth. The guy did not refuse to supply that information. The cop was wrong.

How was he being a jerk? All he did was say "No, thanks" to a receipt check. Everything that happened after that is the fault of an overzealous manager.
