Cops demanded his ID, this is how it escalated when he refused | Policy Accountability Report

When a local police officer approached Paul Brophy of Weymouth, Massachusetts, and demanded to see his identification, Brophy attempted to invoke his constitutional rights. The officer then escalated the situation to an arrest, claiming Brophy attempted to reach for his weapon. The Police Accountability Report examines the facts of the case, speaking to Paul Brophy himself about the incident.

[@kable6693]

Fun fact, many municipalities actually have statutes requiring officers to identify, but several of them also have a provision that if an officer fails to identify you are under zero obligation to believe he is a real officer. In my city if an officer doesn't identify then you can literally just walk away and our local court has decided that is fine. If the officer doesn't identify then there is no way to verify he is even an officer so therefore you are legally allowed to ignore their commands. Granted they will still arrest you for it but when they get hit with a lawsuit that stems from them not ID'ing then they'll definitely get a wake up call.

There wasn’t actually a complaint. The officer just happened to be there, saw a civilian at an open convenience store, and assumed they had to be a criminal.

Also I work night shift and have been followed by a police officer until eventually being pulled over for “not signaling 100 feet before my turn”.

Example : You have a legal dispute with the clerk of courts in a town . You can move for a change of venue to another town so that his friends i e judge cops etc won't be part of the process .. I saw this type of motion carried in the past.

But instead of admitting fault, he is still threatening me with arrest 6 months later. The Chief and I are in a stalemate. A catch22. He is also vowing to violate a FOIA request. I recorded him Barking, "GO AHEAD AND FILE A FIOA REQUEST... YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE VIDEOS! And the threat of arresting me is to discourage a lawsuit. Since then I have had a recorded conversation with everyone involved. These videos admitted fault of the rookie, but he was too stupid to realize it. I got him on the defensive, and he talked. This is how I know what he saw as he approached. Which renders the detainment... pointless, if not illegal, but the prolonged detainment is 100% his ego and illegal. I also now have dash and bodycams, and bought a brand new 8 camera system for my house... knowing the Chief hates cameras. And the local cops avoid any conversation with me. That rookie, said in the video, several incriminating things. Along with a bunch of copsplaining that defies logic. But both of them prioritize the BLUE LINE over the constitution. Rookie: "I don't really know... ""✌️THE AMENDMENTS✌️""... because I'm not an activist". (Using fingered air quotes as if understanding the bill of rights that he vowed to protect isn't important, and if you do understand them... that defines you as an activist.) Yet, I have not published a single video... or used his name, and only referred to them as the Chief and the rookie. Of course, we only have 5 officers in thier whole department, so my Facebook posts in the city FB page... needs only a deduction to figure it out. FYI, The Chief and I came up with an agreement, allowing me to speak to each of the 5. The 4th was the rookie. When I came back to speak to number 5. I was told the Chief no longer will allow it. I'm sure, it means he reviewed the bodycam footage of the discussion. And realized, this kid got emotionally charged, then defensive, then talked way too much. I have not yet filed the FOIA request for the videos. I have a plan for that. 1. Obtain as much info as I can get without the series of bodycam footage. 2. Wait for the 1 year mark. (Letting things calm down and defenses drop) 3. Fill out detailed FIOA forms for each video. Have them ready and copied for each member of City council and the mayor, and the police station, as well as the Chief. Then meet with the city in public to discuss the constitution and accountability. Once they boast they are very accountable. I point out the chiefs vow against a FIOA request. Then I inform everyone in one shot, that today is the day I will be filing this form, so we can all watch our Chief violate the Statute like he vowed to do with premeditated intention. 4. If at this point I am arrested for, "obstruction". I will bail out and start the lawsuit, as now... it will demonstrate they are only charging me as retaliation. But, if they do not... I will get the videos. Then it may not need to go to court. As change is my goal. Note: I do not trust that a judge in this red state, red town, will do the right thing. It would have to go to appeals court to obtain a victory on any criminal charges against me. And in Civil Court, it could go either way... flip a coin. I'd rather, make my point... and go home.

@Stacey Colangelo - There was a news-led account not so long ago where the police pulled over a black woman, an MP. She was a senior professional. The woman was a _passenger_ in an expensive car. Merely that the excuse. The police forces did not recognise her. Britain •••It was MP Dawn Butler, in August 2020, a passenger in a BMW car, the London police said “they entered the wrong registration plates”. •••The same police force stopped GB athlete and sprinter Bianca Williams. She and her husband were pulled from their car and handcuffed in front of their three-month-old son. They did not recognise her either. She is a black woman in her 20s. ___ Here in Britain, yesterday, an inquiry findings report released is very possibly leading to the entire disbanding of the London Met ‘police force’ (UK’s largest - over 43,000 for London area) and reconfigured to what was done in Ireland, it having becoming the now PSNI, Police Service of Northern Ireland. The RUC was ditched, the Royal Ulster Constabulary. London is on the verge of a literal and similar overhaul. Cardinally, racism and assault and odious indifference (internally and externally) is buck wild. 2 police officers have just been sentenced for multiple rape, kidnapping and murder charges (victim; young women). Couzens and Carrick. Both in their 40s. Both sentenced and jailed for life. Wayne Couzens (actively used his ID to facilitate crime, his nickname inside the Met police was “the rapist”) had an enhanced duty remit and warrant card to protect MPs and Embassy, High Commission, VIP and consulate staff. David Carrick, ‘elite Met police officer’, had a gun and his charges were over 2 decades. He has just received 36 life sentences. Repeated accounts of police officers and fire brigade workers taking pictures of found murdered young women whereby they took pictures with their cellphone and shared images saying “they found 2 dead birds”. Sharing this on their internal WhatsApp group. Beyond heinous and excusable. Utterly. Any resulting legal action and dismissal(s) cannot begin to address this mentality and disposition. They are the very opposite of right-minded while salaried and serving the ‘emergency services’. I agree with what you comment (and above posts) about it being petty and churlish to resist supplying a police ID number to those charged or not charged. There is a term in psychology noted as that of ‘permanent adolescent’. _‘I’m sure he has a badge number, and I’m sure he knows it by heart. I wonder why he didn’t provide it, or his name’_ Manipulation and abuse. If one were demeaning, overbearing and abusive to HIS children, wife or family, HE would be jumping up and down.

In my town it's either take a plea agreement or we will prosecute to the full extent of the law! It doesn't matter if your innocent or not.

He should have kept his mouth shut. Instead he talked himself into an arrest. Two thumbs ☝

They are saying that every citizen in this country is a criminal unless they can prove otherwise.

We need to stop this insanity. People - protect yourselves with any means necessary from evil. Don't talk to evil. Don't agree with evil. Don't negotiate with evil. If your passenger is evil - put them out.

[@seventieslove8783]

VERY WELL PUT. EXCELLENT choice of words.

[@nigelralphmurphy2852]

you're siding with the cops???? The biggest band of thugs and liars there is, backed up with the tyranny of the state and weapons of deadly force. The police are a law unto themselves and are just shit. F*** the police.

[@UpnorthHere]

If you refuse to give your CL to a cop in MA, that is a violation. You must then provide ID for the citation and refusing to sign the citation is yet another violation. Nice plan -- trying to stand on rights you don't actually have. Pay the $300 fine and grow up.

I wish the guy would have learned his rights more. Always lock your door and only roll down the window a few inches.

[@UpnorthHere]

If he had know the law, he would have handed over the license as required.

[@RLGanley]

@@UpnorthHere He was not required to show his license.
