Everybody is a frigging lawyer and they suck at it
I had to laugh at this:
A month ago, I was detained without reason by Miami-Dade police. Public records now show that Florida’s top law enforcement agency was sharing my information to go after critics (like myself) of Ron Desantis. pic.twitter.com/HS0BAKRRrr

He was detained, not arrested. And he provides the reason why he was detained in his next tweet.

It was a private gathering, he was not in the list, he refused to go and was trespassed. TOTAL FASCISM!
But the part I want to address is in the video. I believe we are all tired of seeing people being arrested demanding to be explained why they are being arrested and expecting chapter and verse quote from the law and including relevant jurisprudence that apply to their specific case. Then supposedly it is your turn to present your full argument to the cops and prove they are misguided and must set you free because of whatever they think the law is, should be or wanted it to be, mostly 100% in his/her favor.
That is not how it works.
If the cops determined you broke the law and tell you are under arrest, they will mention why you are being arrested, put some nice shinny steel bracelets and put you in the back of a patrol vehicle. The charges will be explained to you once you have been processed in the local pokey and given orange rompers and flipflops. At that time, you will allowed to call your significant other for bail money and then you get to wait for court where the legal arguments will begin. If you are smart enough, you will get yourself a lawyer and try not to argue your case yourself.
What I find hilarious is that the same people that accuse cops of being judge, jury and executioners also complain why cops do not behave like judges and juries when they arrest them.
