The first guy was a bit in the wrong, but didn't do anything nefarious or lie other than make requests that were not neeed, but at least it didn't become an order. The second guy handeled it with class, answering quetions and just finding out what was happening and identified himself and the first cop when requested. we need more of this kind of character to be in charge an interacting with the public.

Wonderful!

The videographer also didn't have to answer the question when the deputy asked if the nearby car was his. He was free to decline, just as he was free to decline to show his license.

By the way, the word "puzzled" is misspelled at the start of the video. Should be easy enough to correct for further posting.

It might have been good to say to the second officer.
Sir, if you have just a minute, I'd like to show you how the deputy approached this situation, after I've showed you that I'll be on my way and leave you to discuss that between yourselves.

Wow what an honor to have my video posted on PINAC!!!
Thank you Carlos!

haha that first cop had no idea that you could legally refuse to provide identification.. what a fuckin idiot.
nice video man! I like the Don't Tread On Me sticker on the back of your car.

There are some genuinely classy cops out there, my hat's off to the guy.

One piece of advice, don't park illegally when you are going to video cops. I'm really surprised they didn't give you a ticket.

Love that move of not giving them your name but then turning it around and demanding theirs. That's a great way to tip the balance of power in the encounter. Assertive, polite and most importantly in the right--well done.

And in the process caught one cop doing a great job, something they don't seem to realize filming can do quite often.

When the first officer asked if that was your car, my first thought was to not answer. That's my second thought, too. Why give an officer something more to look at to find some petty violation?

The intelligence of the comments here on PINAC are quite a few notches above the comments on YouTube.Here is an example of the brilliance on YouTube.

What are you trying to accomplish?, do you realize your intentions arent good? you really believe youre doing a social service? why dont you volunteer at a shelter or something rather than upset things, the deputies werent doing anything just talking.. so whats your routine? as soon as you see a patrol car u just pull over and start recording the deputies? kinda creepy if you ask me. if u wanna help the community, put something into the community dont just look for problems where there are none.

@terpsanddawgs24 this nut guy thinks he is awesome just getting on peoples business, I tell you the deputy was doing his job, and when he approached him, clearly he asked him, is everything ok?, trying to help him, obviously if I walk up to a guy that is holding something near his abdominal area and looking weird I am going to think something is up, plus his attitude was not the best. My question is, if u got nothing to hide why didnt u give him your Id? and why were you requesting his? right?
