You're standing next to your pickup truck, smoking a cigarette, when a siren-blaring police car pulls up and a uniformed officer gets out, demanding to see your identification. What would you do? Most people would probably be a little bewildered, a little anxious at the unexplained appearance of a cop, and maybe they'd even start to feel a little guilty. They'd comply right away, without thinking. Dudley Hiibel, a 59-year-old cowboy, was in just such a position in May of 2000, outside of Winnemucca, Nevada. But instead of sheepishly handing over his ID, he asked the officer, "Why?" As in, why do you need to see my identification? The officer, Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputy Lee Dove, said he was "investigating an investigation." As Hiibel continued to refuse, Dove's justification shrank to "because."
A quick look at the video show that the above statements are total distortion and lie about what happened.
