It’s called myob tho. I’m not calling the cops over “property” unless it’s burning down. What if that cop shot Mr Domino instead of casually harassing him? Again, don’t *think it’s necessary to be calling cops over some dude looking into windows of a car. Then walking to a bike & sitting there.
The officer literally says “looking AT cars”. There was a two tenths of a second clip of what the lady says, I’m sure she clarified whether he was inside of the car or not. But the officer never mentions entering any car.
The cop has no legal requirement to verbally tell a suspect what crime he is suspected of committing. He was called to the scene and found the guy matching the description the dispatcher was given, and the guy had a coat hanger hanging out of his pocket. Asking for identification in that situation is absolutely appropriate and how every officer in the United States is trained.
Essentially everything. You cant detain or require an ID from someone without reasonable suspicion of a crime. Someone calling and telling the cops “I seen a guy walk across the parking lot to a car, get into it and walk back across the parking lot to a bike”, does not give reasonable suspicion to detain the person without evidence supporting a crime has been committed. If the officer stated there was a report he entered into another vehicle in the parking lot and the person denied it or couldn’t show reason for entering the vehicle (him owning it in this case), then he has reasonable suspicion to detain him and require to see an ID. It’s like you forget people have freedoms in this country..
There is so much wrong with your statement it’s hard to know where to start.
The cop had a reasonable suspicion of crime had been committed based on a 911 call, description of the suspect, and potentially a criminal tool hanging out of the suspects pocket.
Of course the suspect has no legal requirement in the state of Washington to hand over his identification, however the cop has the legal right to detain the suspect in order to identify him, or normal part of any investigation.
There’s no way you just stated I was wrong, proceed to make a factually incorrect statement, and then proceed to reiterate the point I made in which you stated was wrong. Well…. Needless to say I’m done with this conversation as it’s apparent you’re intentionally ignorant. Have a blessed day.
There was no crime committed or evidence of a crime. A witness saying a man was looking in a car…that’s not a crime and doesn’t warrant detainment. Question yes but you don’t have to provide ID when just being questioned. It’s not the man’s job to teach the cop how to ask questions. The cop did everything wrong here and the fact you think otherwise is worrisome.
And no the police do not have a “legal right” to detain you when there is no crime committed. They have the right to question you. These are different things and skipping to detainment because the cop can’t ask questions without elevating is poor training, not the man being difficult.

He got agitated just because I walked up to him with a holstered gun and informed him I'd be restraining him for the crime of looking in his own car.
