I certainly wouldn't advise to say nothing, but I'm not giving my ID or name, except first name, to any police offiicer just because they ask. Most the times they will run you, then bells and whistles go off all over the USA digging up all your info. Not only that, your name usually stays in a data base as suspect with some code attached to it.....no thank you.
Yes, most cops can read body language very well, so when you stand up for your rights and start stating statues most of them don't know, they realize you're one of those American arseholes that believes and stands up for their rights and leave you alone. However, youtube is full of videos of cops breaking the rights of others with no concern.

I wasn't saying that he was wrong in explaining that he had done nothing wrong. I'm saying that if a cop has you for something and they give a reason, don't object. I don't know if I would film cops. That's just me. If the cop had come up to me on private property and it went down like Armistead's situation, I would've asked what the officer was charging me with, I would explain what I was doing, and I would ask if there is any problem. If there was some sort of problem, well...I don't know. You people are older and wiser than me. I would expect you to know more about this than I do. I'm between Cybermat47 and Dowly on the age scale.
