California has no "stop and identify" law.
Try California Penal Code Section 148(a)(1)
California has no "stop and identify" law.
California does not require such identification.
One, under most law, you must "identify" yourself when asked by a police officer, you must also comply with all "reasonable" requests.
Two, she may quantify her actions as "showing affection" but it is a court of law that defines such things, not a barely known, one role actress who hasn't had decent part in more than a year.
Opinion, mine.
Your opinion is duly noted and placed where it belongs - in the same pile as UFO sightings, bigfoot, unicorns and the Tooth Fairy.
You don't have to show your ID to a cop at all unless you're being arrested for a crime, and no, not showing your ID is not a crime, and neither is making out in the car.
Which wasn't happening here.
Daniele Watts says she was detained for ‘showing affection’; LAPD says they received call for
Appears that this is the new go to. When police are called to check out a potential black suspect and (correctly) ask for ID, the black individual refuses and is detained for further questioning and claims racism. There have been quite a few stories like this over the past few weeks. This could have all been avoided had she just shown the ID.
BTW, the witneses have now come out and said they were actually doing more than just making out in the car.
Why don't you tell me what the probable cause was.
Ruh oh......there's audio....

Gee, that was so withering...I don't know if I will ever recover! (that is sarcasm, you might not get it)
You offered an opinion based on NOTHING, so I placed it with the other dumb stuff I've heard in my life that are based on nothing (actually bigfoot might actually have a little more foundation in reality than your opinion). I just don't get why people think that making something their opinion entitles them to stop thinking. You had nothing to base your claim on other than the desire to make an accusation of racism.
Neither do you.
Lighten up Francis.
I made no accusations, you did. Stupidity like yours makes dealing with REAL racism MORE difficult, since it causes people to roll their eyes every time racism is mentioned. The people who are fighting real racism should be looking at people like screaming "YOU'RE NOT HELPING!!!!"
Knock it off with the personal attacks, you are whipping yourself into anger for nothing.
That wasn't a personal attack, it was an attack on the stupidity of your statement. My apologies if I made it sound differently.
You jumped to a conclusion that you have NO reason to jump to. You saw a news report about a black person getting arrested/detained for something questionable and your mind immediately jumped to "RACIST!!!" with nothing to back it up.
The Django Unchained actress who claimed she was harassed by LAPD officers who unfairly arrested her when she was making out with her boyfriend appears to have been doing a lot more than just kissing.
Pictures obtained by TMZ show Daniele Watts straddling her boyfriend Brian James Lucas in his car while the couple steady themselves with their hands on the car sunroof.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that Watts was grinding on top of her boyfriend with her shirt pulled up and her breasts exposed.
An eyewitness who saw the couple as he worked in a nearby office told TMZ that Lucas was sitting in the passenger seat with his feet on the curb and Watts was straddling him and rocking back and forth.
Watts (right) insisted she was just kissing her boyfriend in the car but witness accounts suggest different
Someone from the office went down and asked the couple to stop because everyone in the office could see them but they continued.
The eyewitnesses said Lucas then began 'horizontally bongoing her boobs back and forth'. He added that Watts eventually reached into the center console, grabbed a tissue, wiped him down and then herself and tossed it on the grass.
The latest. Apparently pictures exist of the incident, which involved far more than "just kissing." The race card sure is easy to play.. And once played many will instantly believe it.
