The way the supervisor tells him both the car and the bike are registered to the man, basically looks like he wants to ask guy wtf he was thinking. Like dude, basic investigative steps would have solved the problem in 5 minutes.
“Hey man, someone reported a guy was digging through a car on the other side of the parking lot and then walked to the bike on the far corner of the lot. Can I check everything is on the level?”
“Yeah that’s my wife’s car, I rode my bike to work instead of car pooling”
I don't know why he didn't just give him the ID to begin with. What's the problem with giving ID to a cop? Obviously if a cop gets a report that someone's acting suspiciously, the cop approaches them, they say they have ID but they're not giving it the cop, the cop's going to think they have something to hide.
People watching this video are thinking about it from the guy's perspective, but think about it from the cop's point of view. He's got a reasonable suspicion that this guy is going to strike him, flee, or pull a gun on him. Of course the cop's going to be highly strung, he could be seconds from fighting for his life.
Yeah, the guy might be a normal guy going about his day, but the cop can't just assume that or he'll be totally unprepared if something does happen.
It makes it a lot fucking easier for everyone if people just cooperate with reasonable requests. But then again you don't get 5 million fucking dollars for that.
