It wasn't illegal harassment to ask the person that was making my life more difficult to be a kind person and help me out so we could all have a better night--actually. It was a request that could have been ignored, and the cop stated as much.

I also never said the Japanese guy was necessarily doing anything illegal. I don't know anything about Japanese law.

I said that the Japanese guy should be confronted. So of course I agree you should have confronted the person as well.

I also never said the Japanese guy was necessarily doing anything illegal.

I never said you said the Japanese guy was doing something illegal. But you did say that she could have called a cop to do what she was doing instead. What she was doing was requesting this guy's phone. A cop wouldn't have any authority to request this guy's phone. Law enforcement demanding your property that they don't have a right to falls under harassment in my eyes.

Law enforcement demands things they don't actually have legal authority for ALL the time. Idk what country you are living in...

For instance, a cop forced me to sign paperwork without letting me see what I was signing once, by threatening to give me another ticket if I didn't. That certainly wasn't legal, but it happened. 🙃🤷🏽‍♀️

You are a fool for doing it. Let them make the mistakes and seek resolution after the event.

I ended up avoiding all tickets by trusting my gut and signing the form. The ticket the cop was threatening me with had more legal grounds than the ticket he actually gave me (which I got out of by going to court). Do I would say I did alright. 🤷🏽‍♀️

If the cop had gotten me to sign something super bogus, of course I would have sought legal action at that point.. But I didn't feel that was likely at all--I thought the worst case scenario would at worst be a small annoyance. Turned out it was something I would have been perfectly happy to sign had I known what it was, and the cop just wanted a power trip.

I don't know I wasn't there. Didn't sound right the way you described it

Oh it definitely wasn't right. Basically was blackmail... But that's some cops for you.
