I was thinking it has the exact same leading edge angle as the F-14 at full sweep.

Goddamn I miss that plane...

Tell that to the Argentinians...

Goddamn it I can't recommend this post enough...

It's everywhere! Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?

Methinks the joke went over your head...

"The employee has been terminated"

Well, considering this situation, she was not cooperating (remember, she's a potential suspect, not a random stop), the officer has this right to secure her (cuffs/back of cruiser) because during the process of verifying her identity, his attention is directed away from her when dealing with his HQ. It's basically a…

You could be pissed, but if someone called the police, identified themselves (yes, I know there's no confirmation of this but it is also a factor), reported what was allegedly happening, and gave a description of parties involved that you matched then yes, an officer could detain you (either by handcuff or by putting…

The officer is within his rights to cuff her while he has her detained while her identity is being verified. This process takes longer when there is no government issued ID (which is why he keeps asking for it, and makes the remark about how he would have been gone already).

Every post here that I've seen in regards…

He's responding to a call (he's not stopping people at random), he has 2 people who match the description given by the eyewitness. That's probable cause.

He asks her for ID (this can be either identifying herself by name/DOB or providing some kind of ID paperwork, I believe the story said he had her passport on him?).…

Yes, and in that case she could be legally detained until her identity could be confirmed.

It happens to lots of people having sex in public...

You really need to understand the difference between a random stop and ID (which is illegal in CA) and identifying someone who matches an eyewitness description during an investigation (which is legal everywhere).

She refuses to show ID, which they have acknowledged they have in their possession, they also fail to…

I also don't see any reason for the officer to believe that the person on the phone is her father when she was already refusing to identify herself.

Some here seem to believe that to be the case. Most of them don't understand the difference between stop and identify and investigating an eyewitness report.

Yes it gives him a reason to investigate, which does include identifying suspects who fit the description given by eyewitnesses.

Actually, they're usually more interested in outstanding warrants for arrest than prior convictions.

Imagine doing a slalom downhill driving a tractor trailer. That's the kind of skill involved here...

The Ginger Hammer would beg to differ...
