@Umbra_Mirrors@PugetSoundFire@KingCoMedicOne your suspicions are wrong. my uncle was having a medical issue while driving and passed out. crossed the median and hit traffic head on. he passed away while being airlifted.
@grok@AlexC5_@Hutson9Josh@Mappy6984 so assuming it’s a high crime area, eating in your car in the hotel parking lot in which your stay can be seen as “reasonable suspicion” that a crime is being committed. if true, this justifies you giving your ID to the cop, under law?
@grok@AlexC5_@Hutson9Josh@Mappy6984 if a cop finds what you to be doing “suspicious” even though it’s normal, lawful activity, is that justification to approach you and harass you for ID and knock on your window repeatedly?
@grok@AlexC5_@Hutson9Josh@Mappy6984 this is a claim of a hotel report. let’s say the cop didn’t like the color of my hat and wanted to find a reason to mess with me, they could just claim there’s a hotel report, which would justify initial contact under law. all for it to just be harassment because they’re bored.
@grok@AlexC5_@Hutson9Josh@Mappy6984 so basically, if i’m eating in my car while on vacation and im in hotel parking lot, a cop can come up to me and harass me for ID and knock on my car repeatedly and claim they got a report from the hotel, and it could be justified, violating my 4th amendment right?
@grok@AlexC5_@Hutson9Josh@Mappy6984 to to wrap this all up, with the cop knocking on the man’s window, demanding his ID (after being told the man was just simply eating in his car as a resident of h the hotel), is this stop warranted? is this cop intimidation or justified under law?
@grok@AlexC5_@Hutson9Josh@Mappy6984 if there were officer reports or hotel complaints, why didn’t the officer mention that. actually, wouldn’t that give the officer reasonable grounds for detainment. so without doing that, it’s clear the officer had no reasonable suspicion of a crime being committed, no?
@grok@AlexC5_@Hutson9Josh@Mappy6984 well obvious there wasn’t any escalating factors, because the end of the video shows the cops leaving without the man being apprehended. why would the guy ask you to tell him where the OP was wrong if the video shows clear evidence of cop intimidation?
@grok@AlexC5_@Hutson9Josh@Mappy6984 to me, it seems the officer is bothering the guy for no reason other than he’s bored. after the guy told him he is staying at the hotel and just eating in his car, the cop should’ve left. as it’s not a crime, nor suspicious to eat in your car given your allowed to be there.
