Okay.I know people are saying that it's a , you know , bunch of bull c*** that this officer said something to him , however , if it's where I think it is , and I believe that this is actually the bay area rapid transit train platform in California.And that is not a standard city, sidewalk.Okay, even though the detention was valid, it's highly controversial, okay.So yes , and under california state law and transit rules while it is perfectly legal to eat a sandwich on a standard public sidewalk , california penal code explicitly makes it an infraction to eat or drink inside the paid areas of a public transit facility like a Bart station platform. So because the man was on the station platform passed the ticket gates. He was technically violating transit ordinances and yes, because eating on the platform is a citation level refraction. Under state law, the officer had the legal authority to detain and issue a ticket in order to write that citation.Though.The officer must likely identify that person.And if you are being detained, even though California is not a strict stop in identify state where police can demand your ID for random people on the street, the law changes when an officer is actively writing a ticket.So if an officer witnesses , someone committing a lawful infraction , like eating on a transit platform, jaywalking or speeding and attends to issue a citation. Refusing to provide your ID or your identity constitutes resisting or obstructing a peace officer. So if you refuse to identify yourself a ticket that officer can legally arrest you at that point. However , that cop didn't have to be so aggressive over a simple infraction for all we know, this man was a visitor to the city and didn't know.\nBut at the same time, the man did show some aggression however , that was , after the fact the cop was already being aggressive to him , so he got met with what he was giving cops need to learn how to tone stuff down instead of being so aggressive with someone when you're talking to them, come at Em with respect and treat them, like they're somebody don't sit there and talk down to Em and treat them like they're a piece of dog poop on your shoe.
