Hard to say - what's the price tag on
your principles and civil liberties?
How can cops be expected to uphold the law...when they flagrantly break it themselves?
See, I don't view this particular case as a kid who set the chain of events in motion. The female officer instigated the situation. According to his story (if truthful)...he was merely walking along minding his own business. He hadn't committed a crime, he wasn't intoxicated...she had no reasonable suspicion he'd committed a crime. As such, he had no obligation to provide his ID under Canadian law.
To me, this appears to be a case of erosion of civil liberties - and police overstepping their authority. Not to mention what sounds like the use of excessive force in an unjustifiable manner.
