Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked former Biden family associate Tony Bobulinski about what crimes he alleges he witnessed President Biden commit during a House Oversight Committee hearing. CNN’s Melanie Zanona breaks down the exchange.
This is the conversation everyone should have with police when they demand ID.
That may get you shot.

It’s consistent with what I’ve seen other lawyers say and remember when the police are near it’s always Shut The Fuck Up Friday.
If you’re pulled over they can make up a crime, the laws around driving and vehicles are almost endless. Give them your ID. But if you’re just on the sidewalk or something, start recording and ask them what crime you’re suspected of. “Suspicious” or “I got a call” is not a crime.
Also don’t do two crimes at once. For example, you can either jaywalk or have crack in your pocket. But don’t do both. Prioritize - it’s the key to success.
Am I being detained? Goodbye.
That’s the extent of the conversation you should have with cops
Here in CO you can be legally detained for 24 hours for no reason last time I checked. While you have every right to refuse ID when it’s within your right, I’m much more likely to just hand it over rather than risk being detained overnight. Which sucks.
That is not true. They still need probable cause to detain you, and if they have that they can actually hold you up to a max of 72 hrs before they must file actual charges. But for a stop they can only detain you in so long to effect the investagory period. That can take however long but for say a traffic stop should be like 20-30 minutes.
