For myself, I would never leave home without ID (how would the police know who to call if I died?) nor would I jeopardize my own safety by plugging my ears so I can’t even hear traffic. (FYI - I didn’t like the nanny state and am glad to back in the land of the much free-er. Like I said - call me old fashioned...)
Nothing illegal about what the girl did - except jaywalk. (I’ve been stopped for jaywalking myself - no ticket because I listened to the cop!)
Yes, she was manhandled by the cops. maybe if she’d HEARD them, it would have all been avoided.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY is never out of style. That’s my point.
Personally, if I'm dead, I don't care WHO gets called.
My kids are fairly not-stupid. They'd figure it out eventually. There is an estate after all.
Cops over-reacted. Bottom line. And public opinion will be formed by the video. Get used to it.

Oh.. and sometimes, most times, I wouldn't be able to hear them either. And that's without wearing ear buds.
If you want me to know what you are saying, get my attention and face me when you speak. Lipreading is a wonderful thing.
I've got a grand-daughter that I will never hear or understand until she can pitch her voice into my limited range. Well, and learn to speak better than a 2 year old can.

I would hate to have you at a HOA meeting.
I'm sorry.
When you die, you will be lucky if the police even call the morgue. They really don't engage in that level of "customer service" anymore.
