But the law says he has no recourse if the person refuses. That is why i use the wortd "demand" instead of "request". The difference between those to words is crucial to understanding the law.
Do you want to tell everyone I am correct about this or do you want to just keep up a childish game of name calling.
But you just used the word "request" yourself. "Can I see your ID?" is a request. "Show me your ID" is a demand. Again, you'll have to produce evidence of the "name calling" in my responses to you. This is my second request for such proof, don't make me demand it!

She was clearly in violation of the rules in that North Texas town, (which btw, isn't Tennessee so that's irrelevant)
I have no issue with debate either. In this case the only person who truly knows if race was a factor in this woman's stop is the officer who initiated it. Everything else is speculation. Of course the evidence of how she was talked to and the fact that the police let her go without a citation seems to indicate that the officers involved were simply doing their job and are not secret racists.
