White guy kills a woman in 1998, gets parole, goes to another woman's house trying to break in, she calls the police who show up and tell him to go home, then come back the next morning to find her stabbed to death and half-eaten, take the suspect into custody and return him to jail

Be suicidal, while in a white community.
If your parents call the cops because you are suicidal, you may as well kiss the reaper. The cops are going to ensure that you die.
A lot of those parents probably thought the cops were good guys and would save their children. None of them expected the cops to kill their kid.

They violated both (1) and (2)

quote:

(1) intentionally subjects another to mistreatment or to arrest, detention, search, seizure, dispossession, assessment, or lien that he knows is unlawful;
It is unlawful to detain or arrest someone for not showing ID. They did so

quote:

(2) intentionally denies or impedes another in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power, or immunity, knowing his conduct is unlawful;
People have the right not to carry documentation and to refuse to provide ID, and the police officers involved intentionally denied them this right.

How is this not clear?

Having bipolar disorder or schizophrenia and having your family call the hospital for medical help for your condition are both pretty effective ways. Additionally, having neighbours (for a loose definition of neighbours) who may or may not have drugs, and reacting to the no-knock midnight raid by reaching for your weapon to defend yourself against the unknown intruders. Being heavily tattooed definitely helps as well, since it visually identifies you as a deviant that needs to be put down (although not to the extent that being black does!). And finally, being in a car that does or does not in any way look like a suspects car when that suspect has killed some cops.

Of course, all of these can be combined with being black, in which case good luck living to old age.

I'm pretty sure twodot is irl Chief Justice John Roberts, which is why he is confused that people are saying the cops required ID just because they asked her for it and then cuffed her for not providing it. Which is clearly just asking, because it's only an illegal requirement if the cop says "As an officer of the City of Los Angeles, I am hereby requiring you to provide ID in direct violation of the law of the State of California and if you do not comply with my unlawful command, I will forcefully punish you in various illegal ways including, but not limited to: detainment, arrest, beating, murder, and bullshit charges" and then only if this was transcribed by a court reporter at the scene, signed by two witnesses, and notarized.

Otherwise it's just asking, God dummy, are you saying you want the words "Can I see some ID" to be illegal now, God you're dumb.

So if I 'ask' you to do something and tell you I will punish you if you don't, that's not a requirement?

I guess in that case the fifth amendment is meaningless, because even if I beat a confession out of you, I wasn't "compelling" you to be a witness against yourself, just doing some perfectly-legal asking followed by a beating for not complying! :downs: I mean yeah, we should punish the cop for the beating, but since the suspect "volunteered" the confession, then that's all perfectly regular and admissible I guess. And of course if by volunteering he prevented the beating, then surely there's nothing illegal about that!

Tell me twodot, short of Jedi mind-control, is requiring someone to do something a physical impossibility then, since all I can do is impose consequences on someone for not complying with my requests, which is Totally Different from requiring something?

This is exactly the reason that police "ask" if they can search your car instead of telling you "get out of your car while I search it" if they don't have probable cause.

If they add requirements to it "let me search your car or I'll arrest you", they have violated really basic legal requirements in the US, though I think this makes anything they find inadmissible in court? I know that's what happens if they search without permission, IANAL, but I'm assuming compelled "consent" does the same thing.

Technically, "requiring" just means there are consequences to the request. It is not even close to the same thing as "asking".

I think these are distinguishable, because offering your ID to a cop requires your consent, where a cop can search your car/body without your consent. Even if you are going to argue you were coerced into giving your ID to a cop, I would think the exclusionary rule would basically never apply to identity, since it's typically straightforward to establish someone's identity other than asking for their ID. Also if we are talking about a scenario where a cop coerced someone into giving their ID, we should be using the word "coerced" and not "required".

quote:

Technically, "requiring" just means there are consequences to the request. It is not even close to the same thing as "asking".
Using this definition all requires contains an ask so they are at least somewhat close. Even then, police are generally allowed to request things with consequences, as an example plea bargains are straight up "Confess to crime x or we will arrest/charge you with crime y". If GlyphGryph is using this definition, it's important to nail down what the implied consequence is. "Give me your ID or I will kill" has obvious problems, "Give me your idea or I will call you silly names" doesn't seem to.

Complying only guarantees you don't end up in a body bag if you're white. People of color have no such security.

That's why the thread is talking about ways to reduce the police ability to abuse their authority so people don't have to face the choice of complying with illegal requests or raise your chances of getting shot, and no one has said anything like what you're making up.

The onus shouldn't be on the victims of brutality to choose between having their rights violated and getting punished more severely. Complying with illegal coercion might be the practical choice in many situations, but the extent to which that choice is forced on people is an indictment of our society and something we should change.

I think those facts are in dispute. The cops had at least one other factor to consider (the busybody that called the police in the first place), not counting anything else they saw. Separate from this case I certainly agree that merely refusing to offer ID should not be sufficient to detain someone, but the burden to detain someone is so laughably low, that practically speaking the police will never have a problem inventing a plausible justification.

Wadjamaloo posted:

Uh, that phrase is true on multiple levels. Not only can police search your car or body without your consent legally (by warrant or probable cause), they are also physically capable of searching your car or body without your consent illegally. This is different from offering the police your ID, since short of mind control, if you give the police your ID, you had to at some level think it is a good thing to do (even if you were coerced).

Right, exactly, because the complaint or other observations before the stop weren't factors in the treatment of Watts during the stop, and it was all an illegal retribution for being uppity and not surrendering the ID she had no legal duty to surrender. Twodot's desire to make the complaint an issue was a red herring, because as you've deftly pointed out, the complaint was not cause for detention and with no cause for detention, refusing to show her ID couldn't have been sufficient cause either. Thank you.
