The reason clients and prostitutes don't kiss isn't because, eww, icky, she's a whore; it's because prostitutes typically reserve that affection for their own relationships. Johns pay extra to kiss whores.
The same line of thinking as "Only a guilty person would plead the 5th." Invoking your rights proves you've done wrong, to a lot of people.

"These are some nice civil liberties you have here. Be a shame if something were to happen to them..."
You do not and should not ever have to no. Unless of course you did commit a crime, which Danielle clearly did not unless kissing in public is somehow against the law now.
This might not be about police racism. They might just be incompetent while following up on a witness statement. Could be either....could be both...

Okay a lot more details in this article
http://fox6now.com/2014/09/14/django-unchained-actress-daniele-watts-boyfriend-accuse-lapd-of-racism/
I mentioned last page but it got buried so I'll say that the studio city pd got a call regarding indecent exposure from someone, apparently all they were doing was making out with the door open but the call said there was a sexual act going on. They were outside the CBS studio center which is where the cops rolled up on them. Oh and this part sounds fucking insane, this quote coming from the boyfriend,
So yeah...

I would sue that police department for everything they are worth. What a disgrace.
Maybe she was really playing up her "emotional distress" like it appears in that picture. You know how actors are...
They could have her on file from a previous arrest (I think? not sure what else ID would be able to do)
Well for one thing, they'd run her name to see if she had any prior convictions for prostitution.
Are you naive?
White man kisses his white girlfriend. Ah lets move along, its just too lovely couples enjoying themselves.
White man kisses his black girlfriend. She's a prostitute lets harass her by robbing her of herself worth and humiliate her.
Do you even see what is wrong with this or are just just incredibly naive that you think this is ok?
It wouldn't
So when theybsaw no priors they'd let her go? What if she was one and quit ages ago?
Meh, hope she sues them and wins.
Even if she had prior arrests for prostitution I can't imagine that proves she was soliciting when they stopped her. The real reason is that they wanna run your name through to see if you got any active court summonses or arrest warrants so they can get you on an unrelated charge.
No idea. I'm assuming so since that's what they did with her husband but who knows.

For the most part, it means the difference between Burger King employees and Google employees.
And if she was? She's not allowed to kiss any man in public or what? What purpose would it serve?

you kinda skipped from "police arrive" to "police leave after seeing nothing illegal happened" when the main point of discussion is what happened in between. a handcuffing, for instance.
And, sorry, but...fucking read the thread? the "shoulda showed yr id!" response is vacant and pretty much proves you haven't read any of the thread.
More like handcuffed and detained her because she exercised her legal right to not show her ID.

Eh, but as pointed out in this thread, they had nothing to support the claim. Even if they checked her ID and she had a clean or unclean record, what grounds could they say made her suspicious? They can't just say it was the call and they can't just say the kiss. They handcuffed what actually was a law-abiding woman kissing her husband. How can they justify that?
I thought California had a Must ID or Stop and Identify law, but guess I was wrong.
Yeah, I saw that. But I was thinking California had a Must Identify law. We have one here in IL and refusal is enough for arrest. So in my head I was justifying that with the law, which is non-existent in Cali.
Even in Must ID / Stop and Identify states, you are not required to carry or show an ID document. Stating your name (and possibly address / dob) is what is required by law.

According to TMZ, the police responded to complaints about a couple having sex in a car parked on the side of the street.
There's audio from the confrontation available on the site which does not make her look good. She even threatens them with negative publicity, which I guess worked by looking at 90% percent of the posts here...I was pretty angry too until I heard the audio.

Maybe a little bit OT (and not sure if it's been said already because the thread is quite big) but in the Netherlands you need to have an ID with you at all times. You also need to show it when police ask you for it.
No one has a problem with this over here. Why are people in the US this different? Or am I seeing things wrong?

So the audio doesn't mention they suspected she was a prostitute? Hard to take your word for it when you don't provide a link.
He said "according to tmz". It was literally the top story.

I even mentioned where it is, lol. It's the top story on TMZ. You don't have to take my word for it so un-wrinkle your concerned brow and head over there and give it a listen.
And if someone complained about two people having sex in a car on the street during the day, the first thing through my mind would be that one of them is probably a hooker. Even without knowing the race of either of the participants.
Edit: the cop doesn't accuse her of being a hooker, he's actually super polite and says he's responding to a complaint, and she gets very combative right away.
He also tells her she's being detained.
"I hope when you guys are fucking your spouses, you reall feel like, alive you know."
lol
Looks like she tried to walk away while they questioned her, so they detained her until they could determine if she had been committing a crime. Whether they were in the right or wrong in how they handled the situation, well...
I really think people jumped on the racist cops bandwagon too soon in this case.
Girl in the wrong confirmed by TMZ audience. Case closed???
She really doesn't come off well in that audio.

I was on her side until I heard the audio.
Totally on the cops' side now.
This was a non-story blown up by a bratty actress looking to make trouble for the police officers.
Yeah, the finer details of that GIF really make it as awesome as it is.
Thanks you actually care to post a link instead of just saying something and and not providing a source. I don't care to visit TMZ in general.

Sounds like she lied. She flew off without him saying a thing about race or prostitution. Just basically said they were accused of having sex in the car. Wonder if there's anything else.
Is there a sort of blurred line where on the one hand they don't have to show ID if it's not a stop and ID state, but in a situation like that, when the officer believes the call counts as giving reasonable suspicion upon finding the couple described, that he can then get ID?

I'm sorry you lack the ability to type TMZ into Google.
Nice stealth edit, btw, which completely ignores the fact that the first words I typed were 'according to TMZ.'

I'm sorry what? Sort of off-topic?
So this was a non-story after all, now that we hear the audio. But regardless people have called the officer a racist bastard for 12 pages and I also had strong reservations as to how they handled the situation.
This is what happens when both sides have preconceptions and biases, makes it harder for police officers to perform their job properly.

Her video autoplayed after the audio for this story. Totally related, yo.
