Comment on Woman refuses to pay restaurant bill

  They never told her explicitly she was trespassed and just told her she can either pay the bill and leave

  If somebody asks you to leave their private property and you stay, that is trespassing. I’m not aware of the need to use the word “tresspass”. Not a lawyer.

  Someone asks you to leave and says they’re calling the cops? Staying is a game of chicken you’re going to lose.

      This police officer very clearly gave her the opportunity to leave, however if she left without paying the bill, he planned to arrest her for theft of services. When the restaurant owner stated he wanted to press charges (which I think includes an assault that happened prior to this video), the officer was obligated to make the arrest

  and she said she’d pay but needed to use restroom first

  Yeah that’s not how that works. She was given many opportunities to pay. Saying you’re going to pay means nothing when you’ve demonstrated repeatedly that you’re not going to pay, especially when you were given an ultimatum by the officer to pay or be arrested

    I hate it when I’m about to start something but nature calls first.

  fuckin hate auditors. it’s such a cringy subset of influencers. they’re just as bad as sovereign citizens.

  much prefer lawyer reviews of bodycam footage or just raw bodycam footage. it’s a great way to learn and identify how interactions with American police are trained to go and what to expect.
