Police confronted a man for using a bullhorn, accusing him of violating a city ordinance and demanding his ID without any legal basis. But when he firmly invoked his First Amendment rights and refused to comply since he'd committed no crime, officers escalated with threats of fines and arrest only to be exposed and forced into retreat. >> Do you have any identification? >> Well, what's the ordinance? I need to know the ordinance I'm committing first. Is it a criminal offense or is it a civil offense? >> It's a city code violation. And that's is that civil or criminal? It's a simple question. Civil. Civil. Thank you. So it's not criminal. That means I've not committed a crime. So what is your reasonable cause of sufficient for the ID? Then >> I know who you are because we have to address complaints we receive. >> So if you know who I am, then why are you asking me for my ID? >> Remember your full name. I just remember somebody's first name. >> What crime did I commit? Answer me what crime I've committed and I'll present an ID. Which is a crime. >> You have violated. >> It's civil. That's civil. Correct. >> Okay. So is speeding. Okay. That's traffic is different from civil, >> Louis. They're both civil. Okay. Do you understand that the bullhorn is not longer allowed use? Okay. If you want to fight it, fight it in the code board. Okay. Once >> Oh, the kangaroo court, right? >> It's up to you. All right. Have a good day.
