Jaded guess; still in the guise of the 'buyer' they asked if they could look through the machine. He gave verbal consent at which point they started the search / threat / handcuffing.
- hoppa_liza 10y agoThey still need to identify themselves as the police. What they displayed is mob behavior; armed people threatening and going through a person's possessions.
- brbsix 10y agoThere's no need for an undercover officer to identify themselves as such. They're free to lie and manipulate (to an extent). It would kind of defeat the purpose otherwise.
- Veratyr 10y agoThere's definitely a need if they intend to wield their authority as a police officer. Random people on the street can't just come up and handcuff me and go through my stuff.
