Angry Texas Cop Demands ID

[Wildcat425B]

The inside of his hat is very interesting.

[Wildcat425B]

The inside of his hat is very interesting.

[jmu24]

I'm in training to be a police officer and he is right he does not have to show his ID

[elbeastador100]

only america they cant put some tape on the right way round

[zerokenyon]

balls of steel.

[StrangeSmokeClouds]

1:45 is when the macho man attitude kicks in. Notice the throwing back of the shoulders a second later? LOL moron.....

[sgthl]

I could bet money that "cop" is on drugs. The tics he has at 1:46 to 1:50 and the way he behaves acting real nervous and being out of breath for no reason at all is a dead giveaway.

[kenlee514]

There is a starfish sticker in his hat!!

[oldfart2413]

i doubt that texas ranger had even an elementary education and it appears he had a wad of chew in his mouth. Very professional..........NOT

[Kevinmullan]

Cops should need more than a high school education.

[frankdrebin]

My god police have to tolerate some real assholes.

[QUANTUMMECHANIC720]

How stupid does that cop feel ???

[tlchop]

Well handled cameraman!

[13sam2lucky]

@tlchop absolutely...bravo for knowing your rights...sadly that police officer still does not.

[Derekinstpete]

This cop needs to be prosecuted! I heard him REPEATEDLY THREATEN to AXE that guy!!!

[2E4N]

This cop is way out of line. If there was no offence commited then he doesn't have to identify.....not to mention he is on public property. The only time he would have to identify would be if he were pulled over in a vehicle....then it would be a fail to identify.

[2E4N]

HAHAHAHAHA! Holy Shit.....I didnt know Riley Martin was a cop. XD

[LoserWithAMuse]

"Doing my Job". Yeah, the Nazi's said the same thing after they killed millions of women and children. Fuck all of you law enforcement faggots who protect the man and his money. When the shit hits the fan, you think those suits give a fuck about you? Stupid ass cops, sherriffs, and troopers. None of you have a fucking clue!

[GoldDougie]

@LoserWithAMuse Fuck the military killing innocent people and colonizing people in the name of imperialism...nah fuck that

[WarThug13]

nice plastic hat doughboy, what a loser

[WarThug13]

they really dont like being filmed, what are they hiding??

[WarThug13]

He was cumming over your ID, like the second he got it he would jizz his pants, he REEEEALLY wanted that ID.

[WarThug13]

what does "axing" mean?

I dont want to be axed, that sounds really painful.

"I'mma ax you again.." Please no.

[antonioruelas81]

SO ITS OK FOR AN OFFICER TO JUST MAKE UP A REASON TO ASK FOR ID LIKE HE DID, "SUSPICIOUS PERSON HOWS THAT?"

[WarThug13]

@antonioruelas81 "shit now I gotta make me up sumtin, well oh shit, damn what would work oh yeah suspicious person, I dont even know if thats a real basis but hell I might as well try"

fucking idiot cop

[Pafoofnik1]

@antonioruelas81: Texas state law doesn't authorize an officer to require a person to identify himself until after he is under arrest.

[SweetSanity79]

That's right! Stick to your guns and don't give them anything they can't obtain legally. :)

[swdomorasky]

if your on the property of the state capital and a cop asks you to give them I.D., then you have to do it you are there property

[Pafoofnik1]

@swdomorasky: Do you have a cite to this statute?

If you don't would you please let us know?

Thanks.

[dasjr67]

never seen so many cow boy hates haha

[26yearstoorion]

This is Texass and someone was firing shot(s) at the capital building there.... Geeze, something half assed from the G.W. state.. go figure

[toepedi]

3:48 he would have been hung on a tree for touching a white person. Affirmative action asshole.

[D1R7Y54N32]

"We don't carry tasers...." That's awesome and that's Texas for you. Don't mess with Texas.

[fixyourshit]

You are within lawful rights to record public servants in a public place, and under TX penal code 38.02 you are only required to present identification to a police officer if you are being detained, if they are investigating a crime or believe you may be a witness to a crime, but this is a sticky situation that could be bent a number of ways, depending on whether they could prove a crime had been committed and that they were investigating, in which filming them could make you a witness.

[Pafoofnik1]

@fixyourshit: I thought 38.02 said that as well, until I looked at it closer.

Apparently I do not have to give ID unless I am arrested. "...who has lawfully arrested the person..."

However, if I do decide to ID myself before then, I had better be very exact, because it is a crime to give false info "...intentionally gives a false or fictitious name, residence address, or date of birth..."

Best to remain silent...

[lilflipper817]

Making something out of nothing power hungry officer.

[Vorrutyer]

Yo!

[Truths0Razor]

What a dumb ass cop, he doesn't even know what he's doing..

[LANDSHARK7130]

BACK TO THE HOOD BOY

[henry3108]

SO WT HAPPEN



[polytheho]

lol thats occured. all the cops start staring at you.

[WillyPete1]

Don't they realize that when EVERYONE wears that hat it makes it lame?? Jeez.

[flourblaster]

that black cop sure had a hard on eh

[mogges1]

Hum Whats the trooper have to hide.I wouldn't like it either some one standing around pointing a camera at me. I have had people come on my property and take photos. I get kind of aggravated when some one take photos of my home are me.

[wickedeagans]

yea fuckin dumbass non Constitutional cop... thats why u was asked to just step lil farther back and u wasnt arrested for not showing cuz u dont have to unless uve done something wrong... more ppl need to know the rights n stop tryin to bust ppls balls that know that rights the the cop was doin! nicely down on holding ur ground sir:!

[TheYouwontgetit]

i thought you guys in the usa didn't need to carry an id on you... ...strange - what an odd request...

[TheDouglebutt]

He rode a blazing saddle

He wore a shining star

His job to offer battle to bad men near and far

[gekejo1]

Some law enforcement personnel are really stupid and don't understand the law even though it's their job.

[wavular]

i,m axeing you again whitey.

[r19600202]

I dont hate cops, but dont ask me to trust one.

[ansarami123456789]

@r19600202 You are absolutely right. Cops can LEGALLY lie to you. I am in college for becoming a game warden and am taking several law classes.

[r19600202]

That scum bag cop needs a reason to ask for I.D.

[MyBloodbrother]

I don't carry that shit, no id no lisence am i a criminal?FUCK THE POLICE

[helterskelter6786]

don't have to show that fucker shit

[Vegheadsrock]

Oh come on.........I don't really like cops but you are egging him on and effing with him. I would love to brutalize you myself just for making a mountain out of a moe hill. Show him the freaking ID and move on.

[helterskelter6786]

@Vegheadsrock (mole hill) you're welcome!

[Pafoofnik1]

@Vegheadsrock said: "Show him the freaking ID and move on."

I guess some people are not as quick to give up their rights.

[r19600202]

@Vegheadsrock its called rights idiot. cops need a reason for asking for I.D.

[willieboonewi]

@r19600202 Cops do NOT need a reason to ask for an ID. Same reason why they do NOT need a reason to ask for consent to search your vehicle, person, house, or property. You are only REQUIRED to give up an ID, or identify yourself in certain situations(terry stop/arrest). No question, the cop was in the wrong here and the guy legally refused. That doesn't mean that cops cant ask for an ID though. Some just don't know what to do when you say "no"... they get flustered and think they can demand it.

[Brandonduboff]

@willieboonewi It is required to give ID in Texas under some stupid statute they enacted... so generally your right, but here your wrong...

[Pafoofnik1]

@Brandonduboff said: "It is required to give ID in Texas under some stupid statute they enacted."

Do you have a cite? Last I looked, Texas' ID says I don't have to ID myself until after I am arrested.

[willieboonewi]

@Brandonduboff Where am I wrong?

[Pafoofnik1]

@willieboonewi: Last I looked, Texas doesn't even require me to ID myself during a Terry stop. The rest of you comment is spot-on.

[paqueteus01]

There was a shooting and this idiot camera man can fucking just identify himself. Stupid dumbass!!!

[Pafoofnik1]

@paqueteus01: He sure can!

However, he's not legally obligated to do so.

[r19600202]

@paqueteus01

He does NOT have to, the cop is the dumbass

[BoredDudeProduction]

But don't let it be a black and a white one

Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top

Black police showing out for the white cop - NWA

[stesta90]

this camera man is a cold fish. ")

[mmalurt]

Holy Sh** its James Trivette, and he's calling Cordell.. Ya better comply ;)

[Dozz70]

Mr. Tough ass Piggy.....take the badge & gun off and see......

[MWAYNE94]

Ok it seems a little dumb the way this was handled but he was asked for his ID or drivers license but he said he had neither then said he had a Driers license but would not give it to him so i got to give this one to the cop he was just doing his job, plus their was a shooting their not long before he got their so he was just doing his duty making sure this guy was who he was saying he said.

[Pafoofnik1]

@MWAYNE94: Texas law doesn't require a person to ID himself in this instance.

[Surgequake7]

What's the point on covering your face with that taco you call a police hat if we already saw 2 minutes of your dumbass face.

[airjock40]

One problem, the DPS Trooper should have hooked him when he refused to show any form of identification. First the suspect stated he had no id and then changed his mind. He was asked for press credentials and had none. Hook him, and find out what is going on.  A shooting had just occurred at the Capital and no one is above suspicion at that point.

[Pafoofnik1]

@airjock40 said:"should have hooked him when he refused to show any form of identification."

Hooked him for what?

I imagine you'll realize your error when you take ehe time to research here.

[MrExNavy]

@airjock40 Where does it say that in our Constitution?

[poolthatsall]

WOW did you see lice in that hat

[poolthatsall]

WOW I NEED 1 OF THEM WHITE HATS

[tapper45]

the klan used to hide their faces too.

any public officer that hides his face in the commission of his public duties...

seriously, what else should be said?

[djhivesdotcom]

UNCLE-TOM cop steps up to please his white massas! "Look baws Is gets em fo' ya' looky here boss.."

[SuperChad1313]

look at all the tools with cowboy hats on......you dont work on a ranch people!

[scradduck]

I'm axing you again.

[Cazper86]

isn't it funny how your gov. trains them to treat people like this. YOU INCLUDED

[SouljaSaia17]

People wonder why this shit happens, if you start filming police who arent really doing anything, then your just asking for it!

[MrExNavy]

@SouljaSaia17 Asking for what? To be harassed or threatened for exercising our rights?

[fatherof8kids]

I'm gona axe you agin. Classic!

[ViscountCameron]

If we demand police to know all the laws then we should be respondsible enough to be aware of the laws as well, especially one so important as to when it is legal to give information to police and when and how to obey their orders. Yes, they can give orders, we the people have given those powers. If you want to restrict them there is only one way that works, get out the vote.

[PuertoRockImmortal]

Power trip O.o

[205solduc]

u herd oh 911 rite

[JHJones1333]

I don't want to start a flame but if you are being "leaglly detained" under reasonable suspicion that you have or about to committe a crime, you must id yourself not produce an ID. Hibel vs Sixth Judicical District. The key is knowing if officer is acting within the law. In the video it appears that no legal reason was present for dentetion and that is the reason the second trooper backed off.

[Pafoofnik1]

@JHJones1333: You are almost correct, now that you changed the parameters of what you originally said.

Hiibel also requires that a state enact enabling legislation.

Texas' statute doesn't require that a person ID himself when detained.

Please read the Texas statue on ID to see where you got it wrong."

Title 8, Chapter 38, Sec. 38.02

[fmnma1]

@Pafoofnik1

What's even better? That statute, doesn't mean a damn thing to law enforcement. Just words to them, it's fair to say, I think it's meaningless now!

[Pafoofnik1]

@fmnma1: It will most certainly mean something to them when my lawyer presents the recording to the court.

I prefer to require that people under my employee know the job I have given them to do, not become a defeatist because they don't.

[fmnma1]

@Pafoofnik1

That's what you think. The statute you mention here, can easily be drawn out into 'failure to provide ID on request to a police officer'. There are laws that give more power to police, than to citizens, and don't think for one second they are not going to use those laws to rebut any statute you bring up. The Patriot Act, will take care of the rest.

[Pafoofnik1]

@fmnma1: Please quote the part of the statute where you think it authorizes the requirement for me to provide ID on request., and we'll go from there.

Please quote and cite any of these other statues that pertain to ID that you say they will use, so we can examine the applicability of them.

Please quote the part of the Patriot Act that addresses state law enforcement agencies ID requirements.

Or are you just winging it?

[fmnma1]

@Pafoofnik1

You missed the point, obviously. You are naive to even believe those words anymore!

The point is, they don't give a shit. And, many times, regardless of case-law, or civil liberties, you will get a settlement, which includes stipulations such as 'the department will admit to no wrong doing', if a civil case. Winging it huh? Tell that to the guy who refused police entry into his house, and was shot and killed point black for it! Worth it? Please don't say yes, ill vomit!

[Pafoofnik1]

@fmnma1: I got your point, I just don't agree with it.

If you're going to start talking law with me, then you'd best be prepared to back it up with the actual, like, law you know? 8-).

[fmnma1]

@Pafoofnik1

": Jason Alan Kemp, 31, was shot at point-blank range and killed when he refused to allow officers to enter without a search warrant. The state troopers were investigating a minor traffic accident when they kicked in the door and blinded Jason with pepper spray when he refused entry without a warrant. Trooper Lawyer then allegedly fired one shot which struck Jason. He died at the scene."

Here's a quote for ya.. "naive"

[Pafoofnik1]

@fmnma1: Thanks for sharing that story.

Let's get back to the subject at hand now.

[fmnma1]

@Pafoofnik1

As for your Patriot Act comment. Because again you missed it, that comment I made about the Patriot Act, was being sarcastic to your 'I'm a civil libertarian' mentality. What I meant, as it seems to require your clarification, was the Patriot Act, will take care of other 'civil laws/liberties' and justify them on a federal level. As you can't be that stupid to think, State, has power over Fed! Go head, wing it!

[Pafoofnik1]

@fmnma1:" So, no quotes and cites then?

I thought as much.

[GreensongOakheart]

@JHJones1333 That is correct. Also, they can detain you without cause for up to 24 hours. I like how the officer tries the bully tactics and when that doesn't work he is totally at a loss. Nice hat though.

[Pafoofnik1]

@GreensongOakheart said: "Also, they can detain you without cause for up to 24 hours. "

If you do some research, you'll find that you are mistaken.

[yandykun]

@Pafoofnik1 lmao i think the uselef Patriot Act allows that.

[Pafoofnik1]

@yandykun: As disgusting as that piece of filth called the "Patriot Act" is, I have never seen a thing in it that affects state police stopping or questioning a person.

[soxandbella21]

"dont touch my camera" lol.

[JHJones1333]

You do not have to produce ID but you do need to "ID" yourself if asked. The requirment is met if you gave youre name. SSN and birthdate is not needed.

[Pafoofnik1]

@JHJones1333 said: "You do not have to produce ID but you do need to "ID" yourself if asked."

Not in The U.S., and certainly not in Texas.

[Siguror6]

Cool hats!, but I thought unless there was more than 20 outlaws they only sent one ranger?

Texas is cool!

[BuffaloTPU]

Chuck Norris is investigating

[bkingfstrd]

I hope a report was made against him for him detaining you for no reason.

[zackvbra]

the nazis made the jews show id. the star of david. this is not nazi germany. it is free america!

[changeofaddress1]

i didn't see the angry part

[JayHugh1982]

To not practice your rights is as anti-American as I can imagine, but go ahead and shy to the face of authority. At least you won't pose a threat to the smallest of adversaries you pansy.

[normanmj]

Seriously, I would have a hard time being the boss of these cops. If a subordinate came up to me stating a citizen was filming him, I would tell my trooper to quit being a damn baby and go find something more constructive to do, like actual police work.

[possums1010]

We have a saying here - "All hat and no cattle".

[Correctivemind]

are they fucking kidding me with the hats?? I cant take anyone serious who wears one of those hats/ I mean where are the horses and buggy's?

[cornishrob123]

the cops got his adrenalin pump up be fore he approached you

[zuketheduke100]

Just show him your ID. If you're not guilty of anything, just comply with him. It makes things a lot easier.

[MudHut67]

@zuketheduke100

The point is that you do not have to show ID if you are not doing anything illegal.

[normanmj]

@zuketheduke100

Yeah, that's what the Germans said during the Third Reich.



[zuketheduke100]

@normanmj Of course. When all else fails, resort to Hitler and the Nazis. Because that's exactly like what's going on here.

[normanmj]

@zuketheduke100

If you actually had a brain, you could research all this yourself. Obviously we are not killing millions of jews, but the we are turning into a police state, just like Germany and other dictatorship like countries. Quit drinking the koolaid and open your eyes.

[dibdevlon]

@zuketheduke100 Yeah just let them detain you indefinately, Just let them search you, just let them do anything they want to because its EASIER.  If you live in America you really need to pack your shit and leave because you are a disgrace. Anyone who is willing to give up a little freedom for protection(which is easier) deserves neither.

[zuketheduke100]

@dibdevlon Relax man. They are just doing their job. I realize you don't HAVE to give them your ID. I know that. And I didn't say "let them do anything." But holy shit man. Do you really feel violated if a police officer asks a simple request? I understand your argument, but as a law abiding citizen, I don't really give a shit if a cop asks me to do something as benign as that. So let's all get a fucking grip. 

[Pafoofnik1]

@zuketheduke100 said: "Do you really feel violated if a police officer asks a simple request?"

I do feel violated if I am stopped and questioned by officer that do not have suspicion that I'm acting unlawfully.

[blowupuate13]

Public access land lol I wouldn't have moved

[dalekyarng]

The Trooper was Wrong here..

[dalekyarng]

I have never seen so many hats ... ever. WOW

Is everyone in Texas issued a hat when they get a license?

[lancelogan]

What's with the hats?

[SJSjack1]

In Texas a .44 mag is a taser

[Abbyrossen]

The last cop was more reasonable and obviously a supervisor. The black cop simply made the Texas Troopers look bad.

[razed1022]

5:12 is she wearing a diaper???

[mohab18]

You do realize if you are innocent showing your ID actually speeds things up and they have no rights to detain you. When you don't show your ID and you admit you have one on you, they have the right to detain you on "suspicious action"...after a SHOOTING incident and you acting shady... If you don't have an ID, they can ask for your name. After a shooting incident it is easier to cooperate with the authority rather than make it harder for them, which will only lead to you being detained.

[Pafoofnik1]

@mohab18 said: "When you don't show your ID and you admit you have one on you, they have the right to detain you on "suspicious action""

Please cite this law you say exists.

Thanks.

[dkfa]

@mohab18 Then you can file a police report. Get that officer fired or put a desk job. It's your right to. If you want to do that, you can. If you LET officers do this once, they'll do it again.

[AmericanCorndog]

@mohab18 this man was simply expressing his rights. unless you are under arrest for criminal activity or behind the wheel of a vehicle you do not legally have to provide ID to anyone.

[drgigglesization]

i read his boss's lips , he told the trooper to stop being a dickhead

copper wanted to act like a big man , looks like a dickhead

Are those hats standard issue?

[dreindabridge]

Dumb fuckin monkey.

[2223jason]

@dreindabridge WTF is up with the race bullshit. Ya the cop was wrong to demand an ID when the guy did nothing wrong. That's not racism dummy that's a cop over reaching and trying to dominate innocent civilians. He's still an ass hole for doing this, but DROP THE FUCKING RACISM.

and i'm a white dude. black dudes, brown dudes, yellow dudes are all cool. The individuals are either cool or pricks, NOT the fucking race.

You racist fuckers are the problem with this world.

So, that cop thinks he can detain and demand I.D. from anybody he wants... because of 9/11? Holy shit. He knows how stupid he sounded, as soon as he said it. That's why he left.

Love the cop at the end. The dumbass black cop explained what happened, and the cop at the end was probably thinking, "Ugh... Moron. You can't just detain people, because you don't like them."
