What is he >> Rick. >> Hold on. >> Listen to me, Rick. Give me your ID so we can leave. Give him your ID so we can leave. Listen to me. >> A police sergeant stopped a vehicle for allegedly making an unsafe lane change and following another car too closely. The encounter escalated when the sergeant demanded identification not only from the driver, but also from the passengers. Despite them repeatedly asserting they were under no legal obligation to provide ID as passengers. Calm but firm, the passengers refused to comply, repeatedly questioned the legal basis for the demand, and objected when the sergeant attempted to open the vehicle door and threatened them with arrest. Although the passengers continued to stand on their rights and asked for a supervisor, the sergeant persisted with his demands. In the end, unable to compel the passengers to identify themselves, the officer issued the driver traffic citations and allowed everyone to leave without making any arrests. >> Not much. How are you? >> Good, thanks. >> I just stopped because you cut that car off in the middle >> No, I didn't. >> You said no then made a lane change. >> No, sir. >> It seems to me that you seen me go by the stop light. >> Ma'am, I need your ID, too. >> And you stopped me base just because you seen what I look like. I didn't break any laws. Nope. No. >> No, he's not. >> No. >> Okay, and you guys are refusing to give me your IDs, right? >> I thought that they didn't have to give you their ID if you just stopped me for a traffic violation. >> Are you going to give it to me or not? >> Can you call your lieutenant or sergeant here? >> I'm the sergeant. >> Okay, can you call your superior here? >> No, he's not working. I'm the top top rank right now. >> So, what did you stop me for? You have my ID and I was driving. >> I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to her and to you. >> Didn't I tell you no already? You got rocks in your ears? Give him your ID since we have nothing to hide so we go on our way. >> No, you're not going to violate my rights. >> You want to be a cop? >> And what vehicle did we meet? >> I have a question though because you were at a stop light heading this way. Hold on. You were at a headlight stop light heading this way. I passed you as soon as you seen me, you actually made an illegal change because you were in the turning lane waiting for the light to turn as it changed and then you cut everybody off to get behind me. >> Correct.
