you cant be forced to carry ID but in alabama you are required to ID yourself with name and DOB

He gave them his name. He articulated what he was doing. Others verified it and even the person who called it in said they were wrong.

They still arrested him. There is something wrong down there.

Probable cause.

probable cause is why you stop them,, to id you need RAS,, reasonable articulable suspicion that a crime has been, is being or about to happen

 

[pknopp]

You can be arrested for it, so there's that.

Arrested it seems. It seems they can simply arrest anyone they want for any reason.

Charges were dropped.

Which they did not. They still arrested him. They need fired.

   What is Reasonable Articulable Suspicion?

   In Maine, law enforcement cannot simply pull over your car and detain you on a whim. To stop your vehicle, the officer must have a reasonable suspicion that you are violating law or traffic regulation to pull you over. Any officer that stops your car without reasonable suspicion has violated your...

So your topic title is a lie. That figures. He was arrested for refusing to show his ID. I would have arrested him being black!

No you wouldn’t have.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

huh??

Considering how trivial the situation is in the grand scheme, whoever made the 911 call should be searched as well because usually those who dial 911 over the stupidest reasons end up having secrets of their own.

God bless you always!!!

Alabama law requires you present identification when asked by a law enforcement officer. If Jennings was actually a former LEO, he already knew that and knew he was breaking the law by refusing to show his ID.

Post the law.

Another Tommy troll post.
He was not arrested for watering the neighbors lawn.
The Police came to the area investigating a call about a suspicious vehicle. upon arrival they approached this moron who thought it was a smart thing to do to be a complete jackass to the police. Wasting their time and obstructing their investigation of the suspected vehicle trying to determine if this guy has anything to do with it. Refusing to cooperate, acting like a dick and wasting officers time in the process of an investigation is what he was arrested for.

At least get up to speed on the conversation, they were not investigating a damn suspicious vehicle.

If I were the cops and had made those observation under all those circumstances, I might ask for ID also. And if he refused, maybe I’d be fast enough on my feet to say, “ok. I understand your position. But help me out here. Can you tell me the name of the property owner neighbor of yours who asked you to do this while he is away?”

If he still wouldn’t cooperate, I’d say, “look. Maybe you’re just a good guy being a good neighbor. But I have a responsibility to do my job properly. That means I need some way to know that you’re not ‘casing the joint’ for a planned burglary. How would I explain THAT to the property owner?”

And if he still refused, yeah. I’d arrest him. Let the legal system sort it out.

Arrest him him for what?

Race was not the issue but the racist negro pretended it was. He wouldn't stop to help the officers who were just doing their job after a report, instead he was contentious and belligerent, accusing them of "racial profiling" (they weren't) and goading them to arrest him.

Yes you may be correct. Its a hug stretch of belief to think that a black man would face discrimination in Alabama.

This comment and your post title reveal you as ignorant and dishonest, and that you promote racist stereotypes. This post also exposes your fraudulent 'morality.'

No white man would ever get arrested for watering his neighbors flowers when they were out of town.

 

[rightwinger]

it shows they cuffed him for refusing to identify,,,

He identified himself by name and where he lived
No requirement to show ID, he was not suspected of a crime

 

[iamwhatiseem]

At least get up to speed on the conversation, they were not investigating a damn suspicious vehicle.

All the dumbass had to so was simply show his ID, his address would have shown he indeed lived right across the street.
How else could officers know who and why he was there?
But no, he has to act like a 3 year old having a temper tantrum and make something so simple and tiny into a situation he relaly wanted to happen. 5 seconds of fame. And the media obliged.

Probable cause.

Probable cause of unlawful watering of plants.

Why the fuck should he have to do that?

Do you really want to live in a country where you can be stopped at any moment and have them demand to "see your papers"?

If so I will be happy to contribute to your moving fund.

"Show me your papers". You all are scary.
