I think you will find this interesting - wonder how things would have fallen out in Canada - the same? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFSxxi7D4mM

Nothing would have happen because no one would care that a guy stand legally on the street doing nothing wrong. You see that's the difference, we don't live in fear up here of our government, stranger, neighbor and so on..... I got a good laugh at 15:05, the cop mentioning it's about to be the Ramadan so......

We hang out on Parliament hill and have a picnic if we want to, we don't cause problems for our police.

I see 3 very respectful police officers here chatting with this guy, not really sure where you were going with this post, cute blond there though, too bad this guy wasted 24 minutes of time for 3 police officers and all of that time is paid by the taxpayer.

Yes - the lady cop kinda looked like Shirley McClain - wasn't going anywhere really - just thought it would be interesting -

I thought the first cop was a pretty good talker. And in many other countries if a cop ask for your ID and you refuse to show it, you go straight the station.

Most municipalities have loitering by-laws where it's an offense to just hang around for no apparent reason. Police may ask you to simply move along. In Canada,when a cop asks you to identify yourself,we're legally bound to provide our name,address and date of birth. Canadians are NOT obligated to answer any other questions.

He came out way better than the Codified LAW allows.......It was apparent he was trying to initiate a response.

You are not required to carry "papers"in the US. However if operating a vehicle you are required to provide DL.
Since he wasn't doing anything other than trying to initiate a response he should have gotten what the law allows in Terry vs Ohio, deemed a "Terry Stop". It allows for searching for weapons during police interaction during a casual/incidental contact for the officer's protection.

Waste of 24 minutes with an azzhat confused about his "rights" and authorities that saw it for what it was.

Not sure how the 5th Amend. got into this abortion.
