A Django Unchained actress is claiming she was 'handcuffed and detained' by police after being mistaken for a prostitute as she kissed her white husband.
Daniele Watts, who played slave CoCo in the award-winning film, posted the news on her Facebook page on 2 September and said her arm was cut when she was handcuffed.
Watts and her husband Brian James Lucas claim that they were kissing on a Hollywood street when police were called and they were asked to show their ID card to which Watts refused.

I don’t hand over my ID just because a cop has misconceptions. IF this is the way it happened, then I would refuse, as would any husband I would marry.
“thinking” something might be wrong is not proof of illegal activity, sorry.
She might if she was about 100 lbs heavier...
not watched it either and I agree about this not passing the sniff test.
Ah yes Jamie Foxx, another black racist but was cheered for saying his racism.
It's Studio City. It's hardly an area known for prostitution. Upper middle class neighborhood. Frankly, there's no place in L.A. with daytime streetwalking anymore. You used to see it in Hollywood, but not for many years.
What fascinates me about this story is that the police can handcuff someone and put them in their car, but claim to have no record of it because they weren't "actually" arrested.
That isn’t just “according to the movies”. Actually, many movies get this wrong. Movies don’t research actual prostitution any better than they research actual forearms use.
Let yet another of us correct your stupid BS yet again.
Kissing does not constitute probable cause. And certainly it is contra-indicative of prostitution.
So no, the officer had zero requirement to do anything. This has already been pointed out.
Take your statist BS elsewhere Komerad Jonty.
I am married and have been kissing my wife in public for twenty six years. I am sorry about the state of your marriage.
He was following up on a complaint. He did not happen to come across a couple kissing and decided to investigate.
Your pleasant demeanor is a reminder as to why conservatives are losing America. You make the mistake of equating your right to freedom to your right to be a jerk.
You may have that right, but it is one reason why we are losing.
I think it is now illegal for two members of the opposite sex to kiss in public in Hollywood.
A complaint based on what again Komerad illiterate?
Go back and read the damned article.
Your demeanor earned the tone of responses to you. Next tome don’t whine when your demeanor produces responses in kind.
Believe it or not I wasn’t making a comment specifically about your marriage.
Nobody is whining, but I am pointing out that your demeanor is one of the reasons why America is rejecting conservatism. If I didn’t know better, my assumption would be that you want to come across as unpleasant because you want people to have a negative impression of conservatism.
That’s what liberals do, right? Make conservatism as unpleasant as possible so liberalism looks good in comparison.
what is this female attraction to over the top metrosexual, stick thin, pajama boy types?
I mean I’m no Robert Redford but what the heck is going on these days.
Maybe that’s all that’s left for some women, as the manly men have their pick of the chicks.
At least a few, that’s for sure. It’s more important than ever for citizens to know and understand their constitutional rights and their individual state statutes regarding interactions with law enforcement.
Also Exhibit A of why liberals believe we conservatives are like Nazis...
Maybe the Tee shirt just ticked the cops off. It offends me, too.
If a cop is responding to a complaint or call, I want to allow him to get on his way. I would think nothing about identifying myself in any casual way requested so that the cop can locate whatever or whomever he is looking for in a case like this. Now, if my wife did not have her ID or the cop was overly zealous, that is a different story. We are not in the land of “papers please.”
