you walk away from a police officer, ignore a police officer and disrespect a police officer you are a dumb ass. like my posting says, police are like rabid dogs, ignore at your peril . when the police confiscate your phone it is under the officers authority. being a dumb ass and feeling entitled will get you in trouble.
a police officer is not your mom,dad, teacher, friend- they are the law! unless you understand what their authority entails then you need to heed that law or they can bring it down on you. read the news more often and you will see this happens to hearing very often and the law always comes down on the side of the police. the reporter was doing his/her job by sensationalizing the deaf aspect of this confrontation
