  • Well, I watch the video when it camentonlohht a fewndays ago, I don’t remember anything about the aeatbelt. But the reason the officer gave to the driver was driving without headlights in inclement weather, which would only be a violation if the weather were inclement, which it wasn’t, and the driver states that. The officer doesn’t get to change his mind as to the reason for the stop, thats well established in law.

    As to physically resisting, the driver did not physically resist, he passively resisted, refusing to unlock the car door andnexit the vehicle. He didn’t at any point lay hands on the officers.

    A stop where the initial stop was deemed unconstitutional: Here’s one . The first one on YouTube. I admit I haven’t watched this one, but then same judge is on YouTube presiding over dozens of similar cases, and there are many other similar videos.




  • Im the video you cite (guy in Texas holding signs?) the officers ask for ID and he refused because they have no legal basis to ask him. Similarly in the Florida traffic stop, the officers have no legal basis fir the stop. End of story. You no more have to comply with police, when they are not legally executing their duties, than you do with any random stranger on the street asking for your ID.

    The Florida guy was not stopped on suspicion of having committed a crime, because driving without headlights during the day is not a crime. Therfore there is no legal basis for the officer to demand ID. If you think that the officer _thought _ driving without headlights is a traffic violation , and was therfore justified in the stop, you just overturned the 4th amendment, as any officer could claim they thought x or y is a crime and therfore stop anyone yhey choose, for any reason they choose.
