Ma'am, do you happen to have your ID on you? >> She don't have to ID herself? >> does. >> No, she don't. She's a passenger. >> And she's not wearing a seatbelt and she's not wearing a seatbelt, so she is required to identify herself by law. >> Here we go. >> We're not going to play this game back and forth, okay? >> Well, there will be a lawsuit and a complaint. What's your name and badge number? >> Okay, we're not going to go back and forth. >> What's your name and badge number? >> I've already identified myself as Officer White with the Asheville City Police. >> Okay, what's your badge number? >> It's P9. That's irrelevant to the situation. >> No, it ain't. You have to answer that question. >> Police pulled over a man for a minor turn signal allegation, but the encounter quickly escalated when the officer began pressuring both the driver and passenger to provide identification while making questionable claims about seatbelt laws. As the driver calmly challenged the legal basis for the stop, pointed out contradictions in the officer's story, and demanded badge information, the officer became increasingly defensive and struggled to justify several of his demands. But, instead of backing down, the driver continued recording, threatened public records requests, and exposed inconsistencies in the officer's reasoning. In the end, with no clear basis for anything beyond the original minor traffic allegation, police could only issue a small citation and allow both the driver and passenger to leave without any additional charges. >> I'm Officer White, Asheville City Police Department. Reason for the stop today was you used your turn signal twice. All right, you didn't use it on Elm Street turning onto West 48th Street.

The new law says I don't have to disclose anything, but I don't have none on me, no. >> Okay, do you happen to have your proof of insurance on you? >> I just said I don't have it with me. >> You don't have it with you? >> I just got this vehicle. >> Okay. Do you have insurance on the vehicle? >> Yes. >> Okay. What provider do you have for insurance? >> Uh What is the name of that place? >> Ma'am, do you happen to have your ID on you? >> Yes, I do. >> She don't have to ID herself? >> does. >> No, she don't.
