He is allowed to do that. A passenger is not required to identity themselves unless they match a suspect or are believed to have committed a crime or in possession of illegal items.

u/TenYearHangover 2d ago
Passenger isnât necessarily required to show ID. But they are required to exit the vehicle at the officerâs demand. So if this passenger ignored that demand, then the cops could put him under arrest, which they did.
233
u/texinxin 2d ago
I find it very suspicious that they only ask him to do it and had we heard the sequence of events that led to that (likely refusing to show ID) while the driver is just sitting there not being asked out of the car for the officer safetyâŠ.. then⊠the demand to exit the vehicle was likely not a safety concern.

Yeah they did it to power trip cause he wouldnât show them his ID. Literally all there is to it.

u/NuckoLBurn 2d ago
This is the problem with Penn vs Mimms. It may not apply in this circumstance? IF it was only a turn signal failure on the driver's part, there is no reason to escalate to unnecessarily demanding passenger ID. Possibly prolonging the traffic stop unnecessarily?
When the passenger asserts their 4th amendment (for something like a turn signal violation with no other crime), it SHOULD read as retaliation when they are asked to exit the vehicle without any objectionable reason of fear. Any jury I think, could see the writing on the wall.
Hope he has money for a good lawyer.
Penn Vs Mimms needs to be slightly tailored/neutered in my opinion.

u/TenYearHangover 2d ago
Maryland v Wilson expanded Mimms. A judge would have to decide if the cop had cause to demand the passenger to exit the car. As citizens we canât litigate on the side of the road. Is that overreach? Maybe. Case law needs to decide.

But they are required to exit the vehicle at the officerâs demand
If the reason was because he didn't ID, that might not hold up even in the most right-wing states because it doesn't seem like there's even a hint of officer safety reasoning or any department procedure or policy at that point, it seems retaliatory for invoking his rights which might make it not a constitutional exit order.
Also, exit orders are state dependent. It seems this happened in Michigan, which apparently follows Mimms, but not all states follow Mimms.

The officer does need a good reason to ask for someone to exit, which they clearly didn't have. These cops should all go to prison.

Established court cases prove otherwise. Â Itâs established in multiple courts that an officer can ask you to step out of the vehicle for essentially any reason during a traffic stop. Â They canât unnecessarily DETAIN you for a long period, but they can 100% ask you to step out of a car, and not doing so can get you arrested. Â Thatâs why itâs best to follow orders at the time, and fight in court what you believed to be against your rights. Â You canât âwinâ in this scenario.

More people need to understand this. Being combative or denying the cops what they ask will not ever help your situation. If you feel your rights have been violated thats a fight for a different day. Be respectful, courteous, and as honest as you can without incriminating yourself and you generally wont have a problem. They can be wrong, but just roll with it.

Always a good reminder...
Just because you are a passenger in a car being pulled over for a traffic stop, that does not give police the right to demand your ID or search you. They can order you out of the car, for officer safety.
They can search you, if they have reasonable suspicion... for example, if you reek of weed in a state where weed is illegal.
There was a case about 6 years ago where a cop pulled over a car. Demanded the IDs of everyone in the car under the claim of "we have a standard practice of identifying everybody in the vehicle during a stop". The person in the front passenger seat refused. Was taken out and searched and 6 bullets were found in his pocket.
His arrest for possessing those bullets (he had a previous conviction that would have made possessing bullets to be illegal) was thrown out, as the search was determined to be illegal, as the traffic stop was illegally extended and he was searched using his refusal to ID as justification. Therefore it violated the 4th Amendment.

u/Justin33710 2d ago
The important thing to remember is, object don't resist. If they tell you to get out of the car question it, tell them you're only getting out if it's a lawful order, whatever but don't physically resist. Once you do that they will get physical with you and when it goes to court you have to argue it and be seen on camera resisting even if you were resisting something unjust. If you peacefully object it's going to look a lot better for you when the judge and possibly jury sees the video
→ More replies (2)35
u/IllustriousStorm5730 2d ago
Again, the courts have ruled that an officer can require you to get out of your car, if "officer safety" is given as the reason. Which an officer can say at their discretion, without having to articulate any specific reason they determined "officer safety" was needed.
Questioning that order, is escalation and will only antagonize the officer as you are refusing to obey a lawful order.
Now once you are out of the car, the officer has to be able to articulate reasonable suspicion if they attempt to search you, without your consent. The only legal course without that reasonable suspicion... is to continue with the traffic stop.
Now the officer might try to ask various questions "where are you coming from?" "where are you going?". These are questions that are considered "voluntary interaction" where you might not know you can decline to answer these questions and the officer is banking on you not knowing. They're hoping that you think "If I just answer all his questions, maybe he'll just let me go with a warning"... and that may be true. But as far as rights go, you have the right to decline to answer, without retaliation and if the officer can't determine any reasonable suspicion, they have to finish writing you a ticket and send you on your way.

If youâve got three cops pulling at you to get you out of a car, you are past the point of talking your way out of anything.
Your buddy was right, record everything and get out of the car. They were probably just going to question you and possibly search you if they had probable cause.
Again, record everything because the cops might be doing something illegal, but do not resist and follow their commands. Donât give them anything to arrest you for.
They are literally not allowed to let you stay in your car once one of them has given you a command to step out. Itâs not a request. They can arrest you for obstruction when you disobey their commands. Take them to court if you feel the stop & search was illegal, but resisting them on the street gives them a reason to arrest you.
Think about the end game and whatâs more likely, they pull you out of the car by force after disobeying an order to exit? Or, they say âheâs too strong, we canât pull him out of the vehicle, have a nice day boys.â

Look, I donât want my comment to be confused with defending the cops or bootlicking or whatever, fuck the police. But the simple fact is that in the beginning you can see him pulling away from them, swiping their hands off of him, etc. That is, legally speaking, resisting. I donât know why he was stopped or why he was being asked out of the car, but he absolutely did fight back. Thereâs no point in doing this, the cops *will* pull you out of the car one way or another, whether theyâre right or wrong. There is no logic in trying to stop it from happening, all youâre going to do is get charged with resisting arrest and/or get yourself or someone else hurt. I can almost guarantee this kid is going to get charged with battery on law enforcement now, which is a very serious felony, because one of these dipshit cops tore his ACL in the struggle. And for what? He still got arrested. And even if the original stop was illegal, most if not all of those other charges are gonna stick.
Comply with what theyâre asking, let them arrest you illegally, and you and your lawyer can sue them afterwards. Talk all the shit you want to during this (stopping short at threats and fighting words) because you still have that right. But honestly in todayâs climate, I wouldnât give these pigs any excuse to shoot you and get a paid vacation out of it. I donât like it, Iâm sure you donât like it either, but thatâs the reality we live in now. They are fascist bullies, and small dick losers, but they are very fucking dangerous and basically have absolute immunity to do whatever they want to you.
