Today's story features Common Law Citizen and a recent traffic stop at a weigh station because of a loose chain holding down their skid steer. Just seconds into the stop, Officer Erlyne of the Michigan State Police asks for the passenger's identification. And at the weigh station. All right. Follow me around. Yeah, go ahead.

Most passengers, when stopped by the police, may not realize that they can refuse to provide identification when the police ask for it. The officer may request your identification and to search you. However, you may decline the officer's requests, unless they have probable cause or reasonable suspicion. Do not confuse this with the order to exit the vehicle. During any lawful traffic stop, an officer may require all occupants to exit. In this interaction, the officer backs down from his quote need to identify the passenger. I'm just a passenger. All right. Well, I still need to identify you, so if you don't have your ID on you, you know, do you have your name? And continues with his inspection while he reconsiders whether or not he should violate the citizen's rights. When the officer returns, his tune is just a bit different. So, if I could just get you to release both of the parking brakes for me real quick? Yeah. Now, push them in. Sorry. And then um Yeah, that's how you do it, I think. Yeah. If you could just open the hood up for me, and then I'll go from there, okay? Yes, sir. Yep, please. All right. I just wanted to apologize. I With everything going on, I just wanted to identify you. I didn't realize I I appreciate I appreciate what you guys do, don't get me wrong. I got family that's police. But I And I definitely appreciate you honoring your oath and coming back and talking to you. But what you got to understand is with what's going on in the world And that's I wanted to identify you, and I didn't I was thinking you were driving with him, I wasn't thinking you were a passenger, and that's my fault. I apologize. I appreciate it. And so, I'm just going to get this done real quick and get you guys back on the road. it. Thank you very much. I don't know if I can shake your hand, but thank you. You're You're a good You're one of the better cops I've come in contact with, I'll give you that. Thank you. Do you see that? Honor your freaking oath. The officer's apology is a breath of fresh air. It's not often that we see an officer admit to his mistake. For example, it took almost a year, incriminating videos, a massive lawsuit, and hundreds of phone calls from you guys for the Loveland Police Department to buck up and apologize for what they did to 73-year-old Karen Garner. I find it interesting that the officer's excuse was that he thought Common Law Citizen was quote driving with him and not a passenger. I was thinking you were driving with him, I wasn't thinking you were a passenger, and But I think we can allow that one to slide for the self-propelled apology. Always film the police, and when you're driving, you need a dash cam. My recommendations are down below. Be sure to head over to Common Law Citizen's channel and let him know I sent you.
