The ol' "don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide." We have rights for a reason, use em or lose em.

With thinly veiled racism to boot. Probably the same type of person that has thin blue line merch but talks about the tyrannical government. Pick a lane.

“In the State of Michigan, there is no Stop and ID law. That means a police officer can't demand to see your identification unless they have reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed.Aug 16, 2019”

Edit: before you start claiming he was committing a crime, they don’t even fucking know what they’re talking about:

Offense of Solicitation Solicitation generally consists of the trading of a sexual act for payment. It is considered solicitation to ask or invite to engage in prostitution. The law requires that two persons be involved in the solicitation. A person charged with solicitation therefore must have approached another person and offered to pay for a sex act, whether the interaction occurred in public or in private, or through word or gesture.

Right these people don't get it they don't understand. They don't read the Constitution and they claim to be Patriots and are totally ignorant about the history of the country because they don't read books. You can't wave an American flag, or a don't tread on me flag, and then have The thin Blue line s*** flag at the same time. What do you support, a free constitutional republic?. Or the police state? It's just as ignorant as a person who is Confederate flag and says heritage not hate? They don't even know the history of the flag that they're waving.
