They did not demand of him to go starkers, they told him to remove his unfamiliar headgear. If you feel that is 'frivolous' that is entirely up to you. Most people here however do not customarily wear that sort of attire. Cops were unfamiliar with it and requested he remove it. Should have removed it.

As far as not obeying the commands of a LEO, try these on then, mate:

"License."

"Registration."

"Proof of Insurance."

"Why did I pull you over? I did not see you clearly wearing your seatbelt. Plust your taillight appears to be intermittant."

"Your 'Registration' appears to have expired. Your vehicle is being towed and you can pick it up in three days after you get your papers in order and pay the towing and storage fees."

"Sign here."

"If you do not sign, you will be arrested and go to jail right now. Today is Friday. You can talk to the judge on Monday at the earliest, maybe."

...

Let Me know how your refusal to obey any one of those orders works out for you. I will carefullly wipe a tear.

Those aren’t frivolous orders, they are related to enforcing the law. Do you think the cops should be allowed to seize any gun or weapon from your vehicle if you are legally licensed and entitled to have it?

” they told him to remove his unfamiliar headgear.”

There was no reason for that request.

He was stopped because he had a flat tire — what does his headgear have to do with that?!

There is obviously a difference between a lawful order from a cop when you are violating the law and an arbitrary order to violate your religion.

I’m not for forcing employers to work around employees’ religion, as that involves private contracts—but government coercion is something else altogether.

“Registration.”
************************
I have heard that on many TV cop shows for years, but have never understood what the hell it means.

Proof of insurance has the Vehicle ID number on it, as does the inspection sticker on the windshield. Those are linked to the license plate number, which the police can easily access via their onboard computers, and routinely do after pulling over a driver and before even exiting their car.

That info is used to determine if the car is reported as stolen or if the registered owner has an outstanding warrant.

Maxwell (the pig) only showed his license and GEICO card!
