You're getting ripped to shreds for this intelligent comment. Sorry about that.
There is such a thing as context, you are 100% correct and many of my fellow pedes are being triggered instead of thinking clearly.
If it had been me, I would have provided my name and address and offered to allow them to escort me to retrieve it. Would I be kneeling or giving up any rights in doing so? Would I be empowering those pigs? I can tell you what I would not be doing... I would not be traumatizing my kid over something so stupid.
I abhor what happened, but pops could have LIKELY avoided the escalation by changing his candor and approach slightly.
"What's your name and date of birth?"
"I don't know..."
Pig cops think you are sus, so you respond be behaving more sus? That's not going to end very well.
I agree he should have complied TO A POINT, in doing so this would have likely been avoided.
Thanks for thecomment. I am actually pretty amazed at the infantile level of thinking from many. But it's fun responding to them.
And, yes, to a point. When all cops have video, it's pretty easy to go back and sue the hell out of them. The moment you give any reason for investigators to conclude that you were resisting, then you strip yourself of any possibility of exacting real justice. Play their game in the moment (in this moment, with the child present) and fight another day.
