An officer confronts a woman on the street, insisting she show identification. The officer asks for an ID multiple times, stating, “Do you have an ID on you, ma’am?” and later, “If not, we're gonna put you in the vehicle. We're gonna ID you.” The woman responds that she doesn’t need an ID to walk around in her city, and she refuses to produce any identification, saying, “I don't need to carry around an ID in my home,” and, “Not gonna give you a ID.”
The officer presses, requesting the woman’s birth information as part of what he describes as an immigration check and a citizen check. He asks, “Where were you born?” and “Ma’am, can we see an ID, please?” The woman asserts her status, declaring, “I am US citizen,” and reiterates that Minneapolis is her home. She insists that this is where she belongs and that she should be allowed to walk there without fear, replying, “This is my home,” and, “I belong here. I should be walking around here at three. I shouldn't be afraid in my life at this point.”
The officer continues to demand identification, stating, “Ma’am, do you have an ID to give us? Skirt? Yes. You're correct.” The woman pushes back on the line of questioning, asserting, “I am US citizen. I am US citizen. I don't think so. You have a right to picture me while I am in my home or walking around in my home. This is not acceptable.” She accuses the officers of terrorizing people, insisting, “You guys, you terrorizing people. Ma’am.” The exchange centers on the tension between civil verification checks and the woman’s insistence on her rights and belonging.
As the conversation escalates, the officer reiterates the need for a birth place, while the woman remains adamant that where she was born is irrelevant to her citizenship and right to be in her home area. She maintains that she belongs there, repeatedly stating, “This I is my belong here. I'm sorry. I belong I'm not gonna take out anything. What the fuck?” The dialogue ends with the woman’s determination to resist producing any identification and a continued assertion of her US citizenship and claim to the space as her home.
