It's going to be a big pay day for the man. Noted the one officer was hired after being demoted from another police force. Seems to be a common thing.
A person does not need an ID to take your son for a walk.
"I don't need to show my ID," he responded.
Sexton is correct. Oklahoma is not a "stop and identify" state, where police can demand the name of pedestrians, and even in those states, officers need a reasonable suspicion that the person is involved in a crime.
Nevertheless, police around the country continue to abuse their authority and arrest people for asserting their rights. In 2022 for example, a pair of Florida sheriff's deputies were demoted for arresting a legally blind man who lawfully refused to give his ID.
The Watonga offices appear similarly ignorant.
