But Wilbur, the problem is that when you are a suspect in a crime, you do have to identify yourself. This is not a situation of a woman walking down the street in Los Angles minding her own business, when a LAPD black and white comes screeching up to the sidewalk two police officers leap out and say show us some identification or else!
Did anyone bother to listen to the news video in #38?
Holy Cow, this entire episode is about how to turn a relatively minor misdemeanor (non-indictable offense) into a major curfuffle, because she wanted to be a sea lawyer and refuse to merely say I'm Daniele Watts, my date of birth is X-X-X.
Her Boyfriend did tell police I'm Brian J. Lucas my DOB is Y-Y-Y, she's Daniele Watts, DOB X-X-X. and the LAPD said OK we'll be referring this to the D.A.'s Office or whatever they said and the two of them were cut loose.
