I am the king. Get out of here. Those were the words that started a detention, which could have ended with nothing more than a warning.

But still though, I got all that [ __ ] man. in my bag. >> So, the reason I don't want to see this footage because cuz it's really kind of being a minor misdemeanor. It's best if if you can actually see that it happened. >> Uh-huh. >> So, if we can see that it happened, then we're good on this orderly. >> Hey. Hey, can I ask you something, ma'am? >> What's up? >> Hey, why can't you why can't they run uh social security numbers? >> By law, you have to give a name and date of birth. >> So, you can't get them to show your social. Well, you have to give by law, you have to provide a name and date of birth. Did you provide them with your name and date of birth? >> No, because they they they didn't pat me down first. They just put me in cutage. They they rough house me first. That's why I didn't uh cooperate. I didn't I just wanted wish they would have just said what see what was going on before they profiled me though. That was it. >> Well, I mean, we got a call. >> Yeah, but I was frustrated that they ain't they didn't uh pat me down.

But, you feel me? The guy, he feel frisky, though, man. >> He's just got to make sure you don't >> I'm not talking about the cop though. I'm talking about die inside there, though. He feel frisky like he feel like like, oh well, you can't be coming like I mean, I ain't really come at him no type of way, you feel me? I guess he didn't like that. check him. But it's still though, you want to talk like you know me or something. You don't know me, man. You know what I'm saying? You got this dude on the hill by 25th, the same thing. It's like, wow, they trying to put pieces together. Like, dude, you can't piece nothing together. >> So, what was he saying exactly? He's making threats and stuff. He just like we were so we were just over there doing the interview and he was like putting his phone up in her face and he was like uh explain yourself and he was like going crazy and everyone tell everyone to shut the up. >> All right. >> You know if he left the bag in here by chance? >> I mean I mean he came in here to come back in. >> Sure. >> I got a I got a ID said he picked up my uh my director express card and said said my name off of it.

That's it. >> I'm pretty sure. >> So, that's him over there now. >> Yep. Stop it there. And you said he comes back after a little bit. >> Yeah, it's probably like two minutes. >> Can we skip ahead of that part? >> Yeah. He'll walk over there and he's trying to hold the door shut and he like grips the door out of his hand and tells him out the way. >> Yeah. After that come back in. >> No. We got the video. We got all the manager info, right? >> Yes, sir. >> Why don't you grab this bag? Let's get out of here and wrap this up. Okay. >> All right, gentlemen. >> Thank you, guys.

That's cool. I'mma break in your crib, too. >> I'm just I'm asking, do you understand? >> Yeah. I'mma come in your house, too. >> Okay. Yeah. And it's gonna be like, you gonna be like, what's her name of the Terminator? You gonna see what I'm talking about, man. He a cracker, man. So, crack her ass on, man. You see how he was when I when I when I came aggressive at his ass? He was sore. >> Friends, this is a textbook example of how a lack of understanding of basic legal principles can turn an ordinary conversation with the police into a ride to the county jail. Let's break this incident down piece by piece because it involves the Fourth Amendment, detention tactics, and dangerous misconceptions about citizen rights. The main question viewers often ask is, "Did the officer even have the right to demand identification?" The answer is unequivocally yes. Think back to the beginning of the video. The police didn't arrive randomly. They responded to a 911 call from McDonald's. The manager reported disorderly conduct. Under the precedent set by Terry v. Ohio, an officer does not need hard proof of guilt to conduct a temporary detention. They only need reasonable suspicion that a person is involved in a violation. In the video, we can clearly see and hear the officer state the purpose of the visit. From that moment on, our king was not free to simply walk away. He was detained for investigation. And this is where the subject makes his biggest mistake. He confuses a consensual encounter with a lawful detention. When you are detained on suspicion of a violation, phrases like, "I don't have to give you anything," work against you. We also see the subject attempt to use his social security number instead of giving his name. Legally, that's a dead end. Most states have stop and identify laws. Even in states without a strict identification statute for pedestrians once there is reasonable suspicion of a crime, refusing to provide your name can be classified as obstruction of justice. Police need to establish a person's identity in order to run them through databases for outstanding warrants. By trying to play lawyer and dictate his own rules, the subject effectively gave the police grounds for arrest, even if the McDonald's incident itself had turned out to be a misunderstanding. Notice that once the officer realizes the subject is unwilling to cooperate and begins behaving aggressively, the decision is made to apply handcuffs. Viewers often ask, "Why did they grab him so fast?" From a law enforcement tactics perspective, this is a preventive measure. The subject is taller than the officer, visibly agitated, and constantly waving his arms. To prevent escalation and a potential physical confrontation, officers are required to limit a detainee's movement. The man's claims that he should have been searched first are legally ignorant. An officer is fully within their rights to apply handcuffs for safety first and only then conduct a terry frisk, a pat down for weapons. In this video, the officers acted with notable restraint despite the stream of insults and the detainees royal delusions. How will this end for our hero? We hear witness statements from the manager. That alone is more than sufficient to establish probable cause for arrest on charges of disorderly conduct and harassment. If this man decides to sue the department for unlawful arrest or violation of rights, he's in for disappointment. The officers are protected by the doctrine of qualified immunity as they acted within the law and did not violate any clearly established constitutional rights. A judge watching this video will not see a victim of police abuse, but someone who actively obstructed a lawful investigation. This case is a clear lesson. Knowing your rights does not mean being rude to an officer or refusing to state your name when there is a complaint against you. It means understanding when to remain silent and when to show your ID so the encounter ends in 2 minutes instead of a night in a jail
