There seems to be a spate of social media videos of American tourists quoting US laws when stopped by police in other countries.

Refusing to provide ID seems to be the most common, leading on to an inevitable arrest. And the fools are filming it themselves thinking they’re in the right.

Saying loudly and slowly “I am an American” doesn’t count for shit outside of America. Perhaps airline cabin crew should run through this as they start their descent.

I wonder if some of them might be fake, just to get views.

@Poppies A great deal of vids on the interwebz is fake, much to the detriment of society.

@Poppies The police certainly aren’t.

@CGS1984 Where do you see these? In the US or somewhere else? I have never seen any of them. I do know that if you show an interest in something they find more and more of it for you.

@Poppies Instagram and YouTube. They aren’t something I’d choose to watch. I generally go for stand up comedy or documentaries.
