To be fair, having his ID but not hers doesn't prove they are married to each other. Of course, since LAPD claims that they did not have suspicion of prostitution, this is irrelevant.

Nobody was charged with anything. The cops rolled up and were like "Hey, we got this report about you guys, what's up with that?" and her husband was like "I'm Lucas and here's my ID and she's my wife and didn't you see that Jamie Foxx movie? (I guess)" and they were like "Ok cool we're going to verify this story because every john we've ever busted says that." and when they asked for her ID she wouldn't give it to them and walked off. So they cuffed her and put her in the back of the car until they could figure out who she was, and then both of them were free to go.

This sounds about right as a summation of events. I don't really think that any parties dispute these facts.

Everything here hinges on whether the officer actually had probable cause to believe she committed a crime either before or during the stop.

If he did then the later detainment was lawful. If not then it wasn't.

My view is that the officer responded to dispatch reporting lewd conduct, and found them making out and matching the description and location (triggering reasonable suspicion), but didn't see evidence (no jizz tissues or nudity) corroborating the lewd conduct claim (thereby not providing probable cause). Asked for ID like it was a traffic stop (it wasn't) and overreacted when she refused to provide the ID, claiming he had probable cause which required her to provide it. When she still refused and left the scene he forcibly detained her (without probable cause, because refusing to provide a an ID under reasonable suspicion and then leaving the scene also does not provide probable cause).

The fact that he claimed to have probable cause does not create the requirement to follow his command.

Edit: I think it is quite possible that the officer believed in good faith that he had probable cause, or else that he had the right to require Driver's Licences because they were in a vehicle when stopped. This case sounds like regular incompetence, perhaps compounded by lack of discretion. I can't know if the lack of discretion had other motivators, but I think it's reasonable to ask if it did.

they no longer had any reason to suspect her of prostitution, so how was it legal to hold her for identification considering california law requires they have reasonable suspicion she committed a crime?

they don't need to prove they're married in this case. by letting the husband go early, the police proved they no longer believed he was a john, and without a john, they have no reasonable reason to believe she's a prostitute. also, where did the LAPD deny the claim they stopped her on suspicion of being a prostitute?

Here is the recent news report.

LA Weekly posted:

An LAPD official said Parker had responded to a call reporting lewd acts. The official told us the exact dispatcher comments of the citizen's report were that a white man and a black woman in floral shorts were ...
... having sex in the vehicle with door open.
This was about 3:01 p.m. Thursday in the 11900 block of Ventura Boulevard in North Hollywood. Watts' camp said she had just taken a meeting at the adjacent CBS studios lot and was making out with Lucas before officers arrived.

Over the weekend Watts, who appeared in Django Unchained and on Showtime's Weeds, and her boyfriend Lucas, a self-proclaimed "rawk star chef," took to social media to accuse the LAPD of conducting a racist stop.

But Parker defended himself yesterday on KFI AM 640 radio's John and Ken show.

He said the caller, located by police, reiterated that the pair were allegedly having full-on sex in a car, and that one of them wiped off with a tissue afterward and threw that tissue on the ground.

The audio, ostensibly taken from one of the department's new body cameras, doesn't support any of what Lucas alleged—that the two were suspected of being customer and prostitute.

Also, LAPD posted this:

LAPD Rampart Division posted:

Officers may "detain" someone when they have "reasonable suspicion" that criminal activity has, is, or is about to a occur and the person being detained may be involved. You are not free to leave during a legal detention. If you try to leave, it is a violation of 148(a)(1) PC - Resisting, Delaying, or Obstructing Officer; and you may be subject to arrest.
Further, while you are not required to carry physical identification (unless operating a vehicle), you are required to identify yourself during a detention when asked. It is part of the investigative process and necessary to documented the incident. Failure to do so again delays and obstructs the officer from doing his job and can be a violation of 148(a)(1) PC.

So their view is that the officer determines when detention under reasonable suspicion ends.

The real racism had already occurred by that point. First, people immediately jumping to the conclusion that she must be a prostitute because she was black and he was white. Second, the fact that it is well within your rights to not have to show ID. You only have to mention your name. What if you don't have ID? There are plenty of minorities that don't.

It's all over the place because it's a great example of the constant micro-aggressions that black people have to put up with that *somehow* just never seem to happen to white people. But because the officer has claimed probable cause and there's no video and the woman was only injured and detained, it's a terrible hill to pick to die on because nobody outside of the immediately affected is going to fight this one.

I pasted this link 3 pages ago but I'll paste it again: http://www.upworthy.com/one-easy-thing-all-white-people-could-do-that-would-make-the-world-a-better-place-5

In this story, a black woman and her sister are going through the checkout lane of a grocery store. They are both paying by check. Her sister, who can pass for white, has her check accepted by the cashier right off the bat, no ID needed. The black woman, on the other hand, hands her check over and the cashier asks for ID and then start going through the book of fraudulent IDs to make sure it's legit. Meanwhile the black woman's daughter is asking why the sister gets waved through but she does not.

These kinds of micro-aggressions are real and happen all the time. Not trusting black people at their word is just what the system does, because as a general rule you are supposed to ID EVERYBODY, but white people get a trust pass. The same happens when black people are trying to walk into hotels or businesses with buzzed-in doors and white people, who would let in other white people without a second glance, will suddenly turn around and stop them and say that they need to know who they are or where they're going in order to pass. I've worked in the same building downtown for 3 years and I had to eventually give up going through the front door because every time we had new employees they would go out of their way to stop me, even though I'm building management and am here every single business day of the week.

The argument is, "Did the cop have probable cause to require this woman's ID?" Everybody here knows that he did not, but the officer says he did, and when it comes to black people in America that is good enough for 88% of the country. This is a terrible hill to die on because there's no evidence, no video, just her word versus his which means it's a discussion that'll never go anywhere. In my opinion if it went to a court of law (it won't), a judge or jury would instantly find the cop had probable cause and throw the rest out, so if you want to work it into a bigger picture discussion that's great but fighting over the specific terminology of probable cause in this instance is wholly worthless.

Well, legally, the officer's definition of reasonable is subject to review by the courts. Operationally, the officer on the scene obviously has to use his judgement as to whether he has reasonable suspicion grounds for further detention after the initial stop. It is in the interests of the Police for people to believe that the officer has unlimited discretion to detain them during an investigation.

Technically, an officer can detain you under reasonable suspicion, then charge you for interfering with an investigation for refusing to identify yourself or leaving the scene. But that's pretty unlikely to hold up in court. Note that this is exactly what happened in this case but the officer did not charge her, only detained her. According to LAPD she could have been charged for interfering.

Traditionally, the courts have been pretty deferential to defendants who have asserted that they had a right to exit a street detention after being asked for ID (and either ignoring or refusing the command). Keep in mind that this was not a "stop and frisk" during which the detainee may be forcibly detained to determine if they are carrying a weapon. No reasonable suspicion of weapons possession is asserted by the police in this case.

It is so strange to me that people on SA immediately assume everything is racism.
