re: #322 JustMyView

I think he could have left after he’d established that Gates was in his own house.

Most jurisdiction, providing ID to an officer upon request and with probably cause is REQUIRED BY LAW.

PC was investigation of a burglary in progress, persons matching description given by reporting party were in the house.

Gates DID NOT provide ID upon request instead he goes on a tirade. Gates escalated, failed to follow officers instruction, even after ID was established according to reports he did not de-escalate, and he would not de-escalate.
