Des Moines man refuses to give ID to police, is arrested
This is what your "beautiful and free" government does to people who simply wish to uphold their constitutional rights of privacy.
I would be pissed too if some Amerikan Nazi bothered me and asked me for my ID if I was not doing anything wrong. He has no business asking for it and you have a right to tell the cop to leave you alone. He works for you...you don't work for him. The officer had no probable cause to ask for ID and under the 4th amendment of the US Constitution, it was illegal for the cop to do this to him. He was not involved in any crime at all.
Lets see Psycho and Bong defend this arrest.
Didn't a regime in Germany during 1933 up until 1945 ask their citizens for their "papers"..aka ID??

A man who refused to identify himself to a police officer in downtown Des Moines changed his mind when he learned he was going to jail.
John Tenikat, 34, of Des Moines asked whether he could be "unarrested."
But it doesn't work that way, Officer Garth House said.
Tenikat was charged with harassment of a public official - a misdemeanor that involves willfully preventing or trying to prevent a public officer or government employee from performing his or her duty.
About 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, House spotted a man sitting on a bicycle between two businesses in the 200 block of Fourth Street. The man apparently was reading a bus schedule.
House said he asked the man why he was in the alley. "He became defensive and said that he wasn't doing anything wrong," House wrote in his report.
The officer explained there had been incidents of criminal mischief and urination in the area, and he wanted to know the man's name.
"He refused, saying that he did not have to give it," House said. "He claimed he was in a public alley and did not have to be harassed by the police."
House said he informed Tenikat that it was private property. He asked again for a name, and again Tenikat refused.
"I told him that if he did not give his information he would go to jail," House said. "He said, fine, take him to jail."
House then placed the man in custody. "He asked if he provided his information if I would unarrest him," House said. "I advised him that once someone was arrested I could not unarrest him."Great Spirit Reviewed by Great Spirit on .
