Cops have to walk on eggshells even around actual criminals

Let's summarize what actually happened.

The police pulled over a driver for going 45 in 30. (I wish they did that in my neighborhood.)

Then the police asked the passenger for ID. (Something that has never, ever happened to me during any of the times the police have stopped me either as a driver or a passenger.)

[b]The passenger responded that he did not need to show ID. (True.)[/b]

Then the police somehow (how?) found out the identity of the passenger and that there were two warrants out for him: one for failure to appear in court and another retake warrant from the parole commission.

So they asked the passenger to get out of the car, and he said no.

So they hauled the passenger out of the car and charged him with resisting arrest.[/quote]

Wait a minute, we do not need to show identification or drivers license pulled over? This is the first I’ve ever heard of that.

If you're the driver, you do. If you're a passenger, you don't.[/quote]

This entire time I have missed that he was a passenger. However I still say it was a clean arrest because it is their job to familiarize themselves with the faces of people who have outstanding warrants, he had two.[/quote]

No it is NOT a “clean arrest” it was illegal.[/quote]

not unless his attorneys have some way to prove the police were lying when they said they recognized him. You lose a whole lot of rights if you have outstanding warrants [/quote]

It is illegal to demand a passenger provide an ID or [b]to detain without cause[/b].

The rest is a red herring. There are a plethora of ways to legally arrest somebody with a warrant, this is not one of them. We don’t live in a police state.

outstanding warrants are cause [/quote]

You can’t just walk around demanding ID to check for warrants.

If you have probable cause of an offense you can ask for ID.

But you “fit the description “ is not probable cause.[/quote]
