No, you are talking about that which you do not know.
Asking for the number on the badge is different from knowing what the badge represents, or as you put it, "confirm the badge". :doh.
If you had viewed the video like you claim you did, you'd hear the victim saying "let me see your badge number".
And?
You were the only one not paying attention as you demonstrated by saying you didn't see what was clearly shown in the video.
You said two specific things;
"I didn't see this cop show a badge or identify himself."
Yet he did both. He ID'd himself as an Officer at 00:55, and showed his badge at 02:10.
Instead of allowing his badge to be confirmed this cop shoved the victim and got aggressive.
:doh
You haven't shown he needs to do any such thing.
Again, like I previously said.
Don't care if you do not like the length that he showed it.
It was displayed long enough for anyone paying attention to know he showed his badge.
He's lucky none of those people were carrying guns. This cop definitely would have deserved to be shot.
Besides being wrong, that is big talk coming from someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.
That would have been for a judge to decide, assuming identification was an issue of the case.
[...]
My opinion was that the quick badge flash was not enough to positively identify a police officer, and therefore compliance was not required.
Three claims were made.
1. A repeated and patently false claim that no badge was shown was made by one person.
2. Another person claimed they didn't see this cop show a badge or identify himself. Which only shows that person wasn't paying attention.
3. You then interjected with your bs nonsense after I corrected those two and falsely claimed it wasn't sufficient.
Which you still have failed to show it wasn't sufficient under the law. (Which you can't.) And are now trying to deflect by saying that it would need to be determined by the judge.
Bs. You clearly do not know what you are talking about.
1. Very few States require an Officer ID their self (last I had occasion to check, it was two).
2. Most Departments have
a policy regarding such, which is not law.
3. When out of normal Uniform, verbally ID'ing yourself as Police Officer and flashing a badge is sufficient.
But it wasn't. The real issue was the blatant lack of reasonable suspicion.
Which is irrelevant to the specific argument you interjected your self into.
