Obviously the policeman was bullying the driver and using fake accusations, his authority and uniform and equipment to scare the person into submission. Let’s hope the judges get this right for sake of ordinary good people.
Good lesson..know your rights.Don’t volunteer anything to the police.. Conversation leads to detention,don’t get yourself arrested If the interference was legitimate,shouldn’t the police at that time use lights and detain.. If the arrest was made due to conversation,then why did the officer feel the need to include interference of traffic..Maybe to hide the fact that barring a citizens right to move freely without interference was violated. If they moved on before the impedance,it wasn’t Also,if the person where to ask the police to move to give him freedom to travel,would he have,or would another violation be instigated? Unfortunately there’s no conclusion in this video..I’d be curious to hear how the judges decide.
The U. S. Supreme Court has emphasized that mere suspicion or good faith on the part of arresting officers is not sufficient to constitute probable cause for an arrest. See, Director General of Railroads v. Kastenbaum, (1923) 263 US 25, 68 L. Ed. 146, 44 S. Ct. 52; Mallory v. U.S., (1957) 354 US 449, 1 L.Ed. 2d 1479, 77 S.Ct. 1356; Henry v. U.S., (1959) 361 U.S. 98, 4 L. Ed. 2d 134, 80 S.Ct. 168; Wong Sun v. U.S., (1963) 371 U.S. 471, 9 L. Ed. 2d 441, 83 S.Ct. 407; Beck v. Ohio, (1964) 379 U.S. 89, 13 L.Ed. 2d 142, 85 S.Ct. 223; Whiteley v. Warden of Wyoming Penitentiary, (1971) 401 U.S. 560, 28 L.Ed. 2d 306 at 986, 91 S. Ct. 1031 (that good faith on the part of the arresting officer was not enough.).
