You’re too easily impressed. He didn’t have a firm grasp on the case he was citing. _Florida v. JL,_ Supreme Court 2000, doesn’t stand for the proposition that an anonymous tip can never provide the “reasonable articulable suspicion that criminal activity may be afoot”. {The question presented in this case is whether an anonymous tip that a person is carrying a gun is, without more, sufficient to justify a police officer's stop and frisk of that person. We hold that it is not.} _-Florida v. JL,_ 529 US 266 - Supreme Court 2000 In _JL_ the Supreme Court never said that anonymous tips can never provide officers with RAS. It is well settled that, under certain circumstances, an anonymous tip, by itself, can provide an officer with reasonable articulable suspicion to perform a _Terry_ stop. See _Navarette v. California,_ 572 US 393 - Supreme Court 2014. {After a 911 caller reported that a vehicle had run her off the road, a police officer located the vehicle she identified during the call and executed a traffic stop. We hold that the stop complied with the Fourth Amendment because, under the totality of the circumstances, the officer had reasonable suspicion that the driver was intoxicated.} _-Navarette v. California,_ 572 US 393 - Supreme Court 2014 In _Navarette_ the Supreme Court assumed that the 911 call was anonymous. The police officer who stopped Navarette never personally witnessed anything that would inform him that the driver was intoxicated. The RAS that justified the traffic stop was based entirely upon the information from the phone call. The “law student” said that a stop can only be based on facts known to the officer. This is true…except that information given to the officer by others can contribute to RAS to perform a _Terry_ or traffic stop. They don’t necessarily have to witness the suspicious conduct themselves.

To my knowledge it's a tactic police use to try and make you seem like a liar.

[@jonfrancis59]

He was kept in handcuffs for over an hour and while he was alone in a cell? Total retaliation. He was non-violent, no threat to the officer, and was compliant as far as lawful requests.
