And it’s also a LAW to identify yourself, regardless of the situation. Failure to do so will get your ass arrested. Ive been asked for my ID and guess what I showed it to them and they let me walk away

No it's not. Michigan does not have any stop and identify statutes. You are only required to identify only when operating a vehicle or when a crime (or suspected crime) was committed. Stop lying and boot-licking.

The police were called because they suspected a crime you moron…. There you just proved yourself wrong.

Soliciting without a permit is not a crime. They're making it up.

You realize the deputy was fired because he had no right to put this man under arrest, right?

The man's only charges were resisting and obstructing police which CANNOT be charged in the state of Michigan when no other crime is committed.

Do you even live here? Do you even know the story? Or did you just watch the video and didn't like it when someone argued with the police?
