"Statement to make?" WTF?
Glad the officer didn't escalate it further than that since there was no crime being committed.

You have got to rememeber this is CA. Only UOC is legal because of legis. hystereia of the Black Panthers legal protest decades ago.
CA leads the nations in Cannibas Reform. But is very restrictive 2A state.
I am 1/2 liberal. I am 1/2 conservative. That makes me a full blooded liberatirian.
I know CA is UOC. My issue is the officer seemed somewhat "hyped up" until he found out the guy was a marine and was on camera. And of course the typical, "I need to find out who you are" just to make sure you aren't a felon line.
I am with McX on this one.
I wish I had been treated with that much respect during my encounter with Cudahy.
Just something about being handcuffed for awhile for no reason makes ya wonder if your in the right or not.
That stop lasted all of what...3 minutes ??? max...
I spent 30 mins cuffed.

I must say, this was a very interesting video to watch. Not knowing the specific laws in CA I can't speak as certainly as I would had it happened in WI, but having some law enforcement background I can say a few things. As much as it might be an inconvenience to be stopped while armed the cop is just doing his job. Someone calls in a report of a man with a gun, it is now that cop's job to investigate it and he can't be criticized for that. The issue of a cop asking for your ID to verify that you aren't a felon... I don't know, on that issue I'm a bit torn. I suppose its similar in my mind to a cop stoping a kid who may or may not be 21 and he has a can of beer. How is he supposed to determine if that kid is committing a crime or not without ID? Granted its not exactly the same, but in my mind they are similar. That being said, it is also true that someone who hasn't done anything wrong isn't required to provide ID. I guess I can see both sides of the issue. Either way, if you're not a felon and have nothing to hide, do you really have anything to loose by showing your ID? Just a idle question. In any event, this cop was very professional. He was firm, yet courteous. It may have been that he knew he was on camera or not, who knows, but he was there to do a job and did it without violating any of the individuals rights. In a perfect world all these kind of incidents would go so smoothly right?...
in madison i provided i.d. and cooperated. and as a reward i got a letter thanking me for my cooperation, and enclosed a disorderly conduct ticket. claiming the totality of circumstances, what a bunch of leftist yuppie crap. your damned if you do, your damned if you dont, but either way, they WILL damn you.
