Racism wins in Alabama yet again, it seems.
America is now the land of show me your papers.
the surest sign of a dangerous criminal is horticulture.
>The Alabama Supreme Court ruled Friday that law enforcement officers can demand physical identification from a suspect who provides an incomplete or unsatisfactory oral answer during a lawful investigative stop.
All stops are now lawful investigative stops. And the way you said your name, just didn’t ring true.
If you’ve seen the video of this you should be outraged.
Papers please
I want to join the pd and just id every maga hat wearers. Pull over every maga bumper sticker vehicle. Arrest every maga for disorderly conduct and impeding an investigation.
It’s literally a license to discriminate and persecute minorities under color of law.
The best way to commit crime is to be a cop.
Watering the neighbor’s flowers while black
Arrested for watering flowers without a license. I wonder if the pastor was white…
Watering flowers while black!
It’s an expansion of the Terry Stop.
Now known as the Black Dude Stop in Red Neck Country.
After all, it’s what our founding fathers would’ve wanted.
Blatant racism never receded. It just became more surreptitious.
Police state , here we come….🙂
NAL. NEVER talk to the police!!!! Pled the 5th. Ask for a lawyer. Ask if you are being detained and if not walk away.
Without reading the article, I bet the pastor was dark skinned.
arrested for watering flowers. in alabama. and the state supreme court backed it up. there’s genuinely nothing left to parody.
how in the fuck is this ok. tread on me daddy
ID can be demanded if “the answer is unsatisfactory”. So if I say “officer, I don’t want to talk to you, and I would like an attorney to be present during any questioning. Am I free to go?” The answer now is “you are under arrest for…”
Wow! According to the article, “In Alabama, police are allowed to ask someone to identify himself in a public place if they reasonably suspect that person of committing a crime.”
So, the Pastor was watering his neighbors flowers. What crime was he committing exactly? Watering flowers while black?
I remember when the right wing was all about person freedom and against government over reach
Let me see your papers.
Once a sign of a totalitarian regime. Today a normal thing in the USA. Which has become that kind of place, the place where officers demand to see your papers
What’s the rule for white (actually pink) people?
Thank god they were able to arrest him for watering his neighbors flowers. Being black while watering flowers is a terrible crime
As if I needed more reasons to never willingly step foot in Alabama.
