    The car he drove up in maybe had SC plates?

    I think he talked too much. If you are going to do these things, you have to stick to the script.

    "Am I free to go?"

    "Am I being detained?"

    Maybe a "I am not required to do that."

    Sidewalk is a dumb place for a civics lesson.

    A police officer who makes a stop does indeed own the scene...and he has every right to be deeply concerned about some jackwagon that inserts himself into it.

    Lay off the stupid comments about "petty tyrants" and "douches", please.

    Agreed. Completely understandable. And if any of us were in that position, no doubt we'd be deeply concerned too. The guy with the camera is indeed a douche, like most activists out to provoke reaction. However, that doesn't provide the police with the right to detain someone and require ID, and both of the police officers should have known that.

    Guys, I think we're missing the elephant in the room here...

    Yes, the guy in the video was a moron. Yes, the officer in uniform was a {deleted for JohnWayne}.

    However...in watching this video a second time, I realized that we as a society have become WAY too complacent and do not value our rights. We're all familiar with the quote:

    "Rights not exercised are rights lost"

    While overly moronic, here is a video of an individual excercising his rights a) to carry/own a gun, b) to maintain his privacy and c) against unlawful search and seizure, or search without probably cause. He asserted his rights under not one, but TWO Constitutional amendments - the 2nd, and the 4th.

    While we may not condone his methods, we have to applaud his point.

    A man with a gun is a citizen. A man without a gun is a subject.

    What I found interesting was that the guy said he was coming to make sure his gf was okay.

    After watching this video I am 99% sure the cameraman is part of this crew:

    http://motorhomediaries.com/about/

    From their site:

    "The Motorhome Diaries is the story of three friends, Jason Talley, Pete Eyre & Adam Mueller, who took to the road in early 2009 to search for freedom in America in their motorhome they call MARV. Along the way they talk with the growing number of people who advocate a voluntary society –one where government violence is replaced by freedom and peace. Driving from the urban jungles to picturesque small towns and everywhere in-between, they they cover the historic shift in power from individuals to the government and the growing movement of those who are fighting back to reclaim their freedom. They consider their project to be a near real-time documentary...."

    The RV as stated is called MARV or mobile authority resistance vehicle....yeah, I know. These guys took a 13 week trip cross country talking with like minded folk and documenting encounters with LEOs trying to find abuses of power. I have a little knowledge concerning them because they were arrested in my county (Jones, Mississippi) May of last year for disorderly conduct and 2 other charges I cannot remember. Here is a pic of that arrest and you can see the tail of the RV in the foreground.

    Well said. I verymuch agree.
    We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...

    Interesting bios on those guys. Jason, a former USAF SP. Pete, a law enforcement student. I wonder if they had tried to start LE careers and got shut out. Many an unsuccessful LE applicant have become disgruntled and oppositional.

    Adam, arrested for conspiracy to distribute marijuana and later another MJ incident. I bet he meets expectations.

    Requests for ID can always be made. Compelling it to be produced is pretty iffy and highly dependent on circumstances of incident/contact.

    The cops, while factually incorrect, were very professional. Their end of it could've gone the other way in a hurry.

    Interesting vid, for a variety of reasons.
