Notice he is not driving a vehicle, he's simply standing next to a truck when the police arrive, and they're not asking for name and address. The police arrest him after he does not show an ID.
This case went to the US Supreme Court and the arrest was upheld.
"I routinely DO NOT CARRY ID. There is NO REASON, in a country based on liberty and freedom, to have ANY ID at all, let alone so a pig can ask you for "Your Papers please"."
"No, they can ask you to identify yourself. You only have to tell them your name and place of residence..."
Wrong. 24 states have "stop and identify" statutes, which have been upheld by the US Supreme Court thanks to Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada. Cops received reports of a man assaulting a women. When they arrived they saw a man standing next to a vehicle with a young woman inside. Cops asked for ID, and when the man protested and refused to provide identification he was arrested. US Supreme court upheld the arrest.
Thanks to this ruling a police officer may detain any person he encounters “under circumstances which reasonably indicate that the person has committed, is committing or is about to commit a crime” and request that person stop and identify themselves.
Wow! Really? Insightful? "pretentious fascist asshat" is Insightful? And I'm a troll?! I've never been marked as a troll in 12 years on here.
"There is NO REASON, in a country based on liberty and freedom, to have ANY ID at all, let alone so a pig can ask you for "Your Papers please"."
Of course there is, to make sure you're not a criminal. How else will they know? If everyone could simply say "No you can not see my ID" then how are police suppose to catch criminals? Think criminals are going to give police their real name and social security number? These guys went there looking for a fight, if I was the cop I'd ask for ID too.
"These people had a RIGHT to do what they did."
And what did they do besides go there looking for a fight? We don't know what they were doing, all we know is what they tell us and a video conveniently started after security arrives. What were they doing before security arrived? OH I see:
1. park car
2. take photo
3. POLICE RUSH IN AND ATTACK!
4. submit to/.
5....
6. PROFIT!
See? There's something missing, police don't come rushing in every time someone takes a photo, or do I need to throw in a car analogy to make this clearer?
"a lot of journalists getting arrested and writing passionate articles about the experience while hopefully being exonerated."
I'm going to have to cry shenanigans on all of this.
I find it rather convenient that there was no video taken before security arrived and this is for a blog titled "Photography is Not a Crime". I know there's hundreds of posts on here saying "bad police!", but I watched the video and I think these photographers did a lot of things wrong.
I have a really hard time believing they were just standing there taking a photo in the parking lot and security magically appeared to stop them. There has to be more to it than that, but they decided not to start recording until security arrived. They claim they were stopped for "photos we took in the parking lot" but this is for a blog that tries to get arrested by taking photos so how can we trust their word?
Second, the police were AMAZINGLY patient with them. At 2:55 One officer asked a dozen times for their ID and he refuses. That's just wrong, any officer has the right to ask for an ID if they have any reason to do so. If you're just standing there looking "suspicious", a cop can ask for ID. Why? So they can know who the hell you are. If you're innocent and don't have warrants out you have no reason not to say "sure here's my ID".
They're trouble makers, I agree they should be banned for life, security and police just wanted to know why they were taking video and photos and to stop but they kept pressing the issue.

That's what I was thinking. The Chicken McNuggets meal with milk and apple slices has a combined total of 400 calories, 15 grams of fat and 18 grams of protein. Not bad for an entire meal.
it's the parents that buy a Happy Meal and a few extra burgers and fries off the Dollar Menu for their kids that are doing it wrong. Maybe they'll sue McD's for offering affordable $1 pricing?

Crazy I know! We have no idea why one rig failed, so why would we stop all of them? We should just let them continue until we either figure out why it failed or several more fail, that makes more sense.
Or in the military, because when you're deployed that's 168 hours a week (24/7)

"I am getting sick of the game console comparisons. "
Maybe it's because people are gaming more on their iDevice than their consoles? I have a Wii and PS3 and play more games on my iPhone than either of those devices, mostly because it's mobility (always with me) and the huge abundance of 99 cent games.
"I personally can't wait to see what measures this new software takes to control its users and limit their access to other programs."
Insightful or Troll? Decisions, decisions.... do we love Apple this week or not? We need a chart that updates weekly based on positive and negative posts and how they're rated.

Really? Again with the "desktop dead" speech? Haven't I heard this in 2006, 2007 and 2009? Does this guy really need to redo the same article we've been hearing for 4 years?
"My desktop has a far bigger screen than any mobile device would be comfortable with carrying."
I'd agree with the multiple screen idea, but this article is for people sitting next to cheap mid-range Dell desktops and their single or dual monitor. As laptops move on to 8 and 16 core cpus with 16 and 32gb RAM and many terabytes of storage with two or more HDMI outputs for additional monitors for the same price as their 32 core 64gb desktop non-geeky and non-technical people are going to switch. This has been predicted for many years and it will happen, hardware is advancing faster than the software, very few programs require more than two cores and you can buy 6 cores for $200.
Despite living in a large (millions) city Blockbuster and Redbox are my only physical video rental locations. Redbox worked out a deal with Walmart back in 2008 so they're already virtually everywhere, I predict Blockbuster locations will disappear in the next 5 years and we'll be left with Redbox at Walmart and McDonalds who use to own Redbox.

"I routinely DO NOT CARRY ID. There is NO REASON"
You might want to start carrying an ID after watching this video.

If a cop asks for your ID and you refuse you can be arrested according to the US Supreme Court.
"No, they can ask you to identify yourself. You only have to tell them your name and place of residence..."

"The employee would have to declare that they need domestic partner health benefits. Google isn't "snooping", it's information the employee is providing."
And what is the procedure to verify they need domestic partner health benefits? Do they "test" for gayness? Here's a statement some employers make employees sign:
"--Have lived together at least six months.
--Are both age 18 or older.
--Share a close personal relationship and are responsible for each other’s common welfare.
--Are exclusive.
--Are not married to anyone else.
--Are not related by blood closer than would bar marriage in the state.

Actually most people in 3rd world countries work from dawn till dusk 7 days a week.

I thought I heard the last of Kickstarter with the facebook clone Diaspora raising $200k but no! They're back for revenge. If anyone wants to remember why Kickstarter sucks a simple google search of "kickstarter sucks" brings you to this page:
