‘Django Unchained’ Actress Handcuffed By Cops After They Assumed She Was A Hooker
Django Unchained star Daniele Watts and her husband who is white say that Studio City Police mistook the couple for a prostitute and her “trick” and arrested her. The couple shared pictures and a video of the incident on Facebook.
Watts was handcuffed after refusing to show ID, which she says she was within her rights to not do, based on the law, according to The YBF.
“Today I was handcuffed and detained by 2 police officers from the Studio City Police Department after refusing to agree that I had done something wrong by showing affection, fully clothed, in a public place,” Watts’ Facebook post reads.
“When the officer arrived, I was standing on the sidewalk by a tree. I was talking to my father on my cell phone. I knew that I had done nothing wrong, that I wasn’t harming anyone, so I walked away.”
She continued to say, “A few minutes later, I was still talking to my dad when 2 different police officers accosted me and forced me into handcuffs.”
Watts’ husband, Brian James Lucas, wrote on Facebook, “So they handcuffed her and threw her roughly into the back of the cop car until they could figure out who she was. In the process of handcuffing her, they cut her wrist, which was truly NOT COOL!!!”
“Our freedom isn’t freedom folks, when people can abuse others with no reason or evidence at all just because they “think” they have been given the power by people that are ONLY equal to us. Of course, they had to let her go eventually cuz we weren’t a threat to anyone. They weren’t expecting D to be so intelligent and outspoken, and left truly feeling the fear vibration finding out that they had just fucked with 2 celebrities,” he wrote.

I can only hope they go to the trouble to sue this department for their actions, otherwise no much will change.

Police Dept response: “Since we f*cked up, we have no record of the incident. SOP to protect our cowardly asses.”
Skydog2 September 14th, 2014 at 10:52 am
“Daniele was handcuffed after refusing to show ID” – show ID and it would have been over in 2 seconds

Submitting to their unlawful demands will only re-enforce their actions, kinda like responding to asinine comments.

Larry Schmitt September 14th, 2014 at 2:08 pm
What legitimate reason did they have to ask her for ID? Their is no law in this country, or any state or county or municipality, that requires any person to carry ID, or that allows cops to ask for ID without cause. This is the same logic that tells people with regards to surveillance, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.” Wise up.

William September 14th, 2014 at 4:23 pm
There is absolutely no legal requirement to show any police officer any ID when you are standing on the street and not suspect in any crime or violation. In fact she can legally walk away and refuse to talk to the Police. I can assure you that when A.I.D, and the civil lawsuit folks are done with these guys, they will be patrolling the park enforcing dogshit ordinances IF they are lucky to even keep their jobs.
tiredoftea September 14th, 2014 at 4:54 pm
Correct, from a process point of view, but where was the “probable cause” for their actions?

tiredoftea September 14th, 2014 at 5:55 pm
Which is likely why she didn’t cooperate. They had none and offered no explanation to her.

Seeing as how the police are wrong here,faux news will not even cover this story.
Larry Schmitt September 14th, 2014 at 2:16 pm
Just for the hell of it, I searched the FN site, and found nothing about this story. Which surprises exactly no one.
Ross Cassell September 14th, 2014 at 2:40 pm
funny that, since this all happened in the land of enlightenment! How about blaming this on the prejudices of the officers or the policies of that police dept, instead of blaming a cable channel, unless of course you can prove that Sheperd Smith, Hannity or O’reily were posing as one of the officers?
Larry Schmitt September 14th, 2014 at 2:41 pm

Ross Cassell September 14th, 2014 at 2:59 pm
You all mentioned Fox, you all hate that network so rabidly, you all will use any story to tarnish them.. I have seen plenty of stories that went unmentioned by other networks.. Either way this story is atrocious, but lets not blame the left, the right or FOX, lets blame the Police Dept or the officers!

Larry Schmitt September 14th, 2014 at 3:13 pm
They tarnish their own reputation (“fair and balanced”) every time they “report” a story. I repeat, I did not blame fox. And to be fair, I did a google news search, and it wasn’t on cnn or msnbc either, but it was on plenty of other news sites: Washington Post, Guardian, Slate, NY Daily News, and others.
Ross Cassell September 14th, 2014 at 3:26 pm
You should have been fair and balanced then.. LOL But don’t you see a pattern here, FOX got brought into this story when it doesn’t relate?? Its like tourettes with you guys… Now if this incident happened in lets say Atlanta, you all would be blaming this on the Baptists.
Larry Schmitt September 14th, 2014 at 3:34 pm
You keep saying someone is blaming fox. That hasn’t happened. Only people being blamed on this thread are the cops. Everything else is just a side issue, and you’re trying to push it to the front.
mea_mark September 14th, 2014 at 4:05 pm
What is really funny is that you have made it more about Fox than anyone else has.
And how is responding to someone about Fox not fair and balanced when the reply deals with the original comment about Fox. The comment didn’t address other stations so there was no need to address those other stations to be fair and balanced.
Ross Cassell September 14th, 2014 at 6:32 pm
I was trying to figure out why the correlation was even made.. I rest my case, as the potty mouth haters came out of the wood work.. On Colmes facebook page, his partisans blame the recent solar flares on the right, so I guess anything is fair game for finger pointing these days.

No one hates any news station just because they don’t treat us like “royalty” we hate that they blatantly lie about many of their stories, and instead of basing it on fact they want to call “expert opinions” in. For example John McCain, or Sarah Palin, who usually don’t know a DAMN thing about that which they speak of, and then have the AUDACITY to call it “fact” or say it’s from a “reliable” source.

Most of the stories that are “Unmentioned” are made up.

whatthe46 September 15th, 2014 at 12:48 am
if they believed she was prostituting, he should have received the same treatment. notice, the police did not say, the “john” cooperated. there were 3 cops that approached her. handcuffed her quickly and put her in the car. not one mention of him right? right.

jasperjava September 15th, 2014 at 9:52 am
It’s a “possible crime scene” because wherever Black people go, they carry along with them a 10-foot radius of “possible crime scene”.
Tommy6860 September 14th, 2014 at 5:36 pm
So this is how it works, right?
Black woman kissing a white man = prostitution.
Black man kissing a white woman = probable rape.

Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 12:14 am
When the police arrive on a potential crime scene, you can’t just walk away. They need to determine if an actual crime took place and will detain suspects until they’re satisfied no crime took place.
whatthe46 September 15th, 2014 at 12:45 am
an 18 y/o white teen in aurora was walking around with his gun (open carry) people afraid called 911. police arrived on the scene and questioned him. they asked him his name. he refused. they asked him for i.d. (he refused). they left him alone.

False premise, I never said “this was a crime scene”.
jasperjava September 15th, 2014 at 9:28 am
You said it was a “potential crime scene”. Anywhere where there is a Black person present is a “potential crime scene” to you and your fellow right-wing fascist authoritarians.
Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 9:35 am
I’ve clarified it twice now, this will be the third and final time …. I never “this” or “it” was a crime scene. I was speaking in general and not about this specific case because I don’t have the detailed facts.
You also don’t have the facts but are quick to cry racism.
jasperjava September 15th, 2014 at 9:41 am
If you’re not talking about this specific case, then why did you post your ignorant fascist authoritarian bloviating crap at all on this thread.
No, you read this story, and you made it all about how this Black woman should have knelt before her white oppressors and did what she was told. She was uppity and didn’t know her place.
Rusty Shackleford September 15th, 2014 at 9:25 pm
So then your entire rambling was completely irrelevant and unneeded, since it only applied even remotely to potential crime scenes, which this was not one.
Why bother posting then?
Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 9:52 pm
I never said it was a crime scene but now that witnesses have stepped forward, it appears it was.
The police were called to the location because witnesses told cops they were watching her and her BF have full-on sex in the passenger seat WITH THE DOOR OPEN!
Rusty Shackleford September 15th, 2014 at 11:15 pm
I love how you’re attempting to retroactively justify your bias despite admitting that you had absolutely none of this information at the time of your inane posting.
Pundit456 September 15th, 2014 at 5:20 am
Mr Skydog2 it is usually advisable to read one’s comment, as if someone else had written it, before posting. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I assume you did not proofread your post.
Otherwise, the implication of your post is that the police had reason to regard the area as a “potential crime scene” because there was a Black woman present although you do not cite the crime you think they had probable cause to believe had been committed.
Notwithstanding, you assert they were justified in first apprehending the woman, as a suspect, and then determining whether or not a crime had been committed.
If this was not your intent, please feel free to clarify for those of us who are unfamiliar with you and the idiosyncrasies of your dialect.
Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 8:52 am
I don’t know the specifics of this case, nor do you, so I was speaking in general and not about this instance.
For example, when someone calls 911 and the police arrive, you can’t just walk away and refuse to show ID
Pundit456 September 15th, 2014 at 9:36 am
Thus far the police have offered no other reason for approaching Ms Watts. Known prostitutes must be witnessed soliciting before they can be arrested for solicitation; so draw your own conclusions.

When did you hear the police side of the story?
Ms. Watts wasn’t arrested.
jasperjava September 15th, 2014 at 9:47 am
She was handcuffed! Do police handcuff people without putting them under arrest? That makes the situation even worse, from a legal point of view.

Yes, the police can handcuff people without putting them under arrest.

jasperjava September 15th, 2014 at 9:24 am
Skydog2, like most right-wing authoritarians, is a big fan of the police state. The whole world is a potential “crime scene”, and if you’re the wrong skin color you just have to accept that you can be arrested or shot for any reason, or no reason whatsoever.
Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 9:28 am
Why is it anytime a black person is stopped by the police its because they’re black? People of all races commit crimes are rarely own up to it, our prisons are full of innocent people.
jasperjava September 15th, 2014 at 9:36 am
There’s a pretty blatant example of that in the post above, let alone in several other news stories.
But I guess it’s pretty difficult for ignorant racist bigots to figure that out.
Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 9:39 am
I’m an “ignorant racist bigot” because I choose to wait for the facts and not run around with my hair on fire after hearing only one side of the story?
jasperjava September 15th, 2014 at 9:57 am
Obviously the testimony of the actual victim doesn’t count as “the facts”. Facts are not facts when they come from Black people. Facts are only facts when they come from melanin-deficient authority figures.
Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 11:38 am
Again, you’ve only heard one side of the story. Does the police version of events not count?
R.J. Carter September 15th, 2014 at 1:36 pm
Race aside — no, the testimony of the actual “person arrested” doesn’t count as “the facts” until they’ve been corroborated.

You certainly can sue the police for unlawfully detaining you.

If the couple kissing had been white do you think their behavior would have indicated a potential crime scene?
Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 12:52 pm
A couple’s race should have no bearing on whether it’s a crime scene.
Skydog2 September 15th, 2014 at 2:05 pm
Kissing? Turns out they were having full-on sex in the car with the door open for everyone to see.

lie.

Not going to check the source, are you? Too invested already in the former version of the story?

Why in the world would police assume that a couple having sex in a parked car with the passenger door open would be a prostitute and her trick?

That looks pretty damaging. I guess Watts isn’t so sweet innocent after all.

She made a statement that she had just got out of a meeting when she was in the car with her husband and they were kissing, when she got out of the car to call her father. that’s when she was approached.

TMZ: “we’ve learned witnesses from the nearby Directors Guild office building told cops they were watching her and her BF have full-on sex in the passenger seat WITH THE DOOR OPEN! The eyewitnesses said the guy was sitting in the seat, she was straddling him and it was for everyone to see.

really? and no arrest for indecent exposure? of either of them? yeah right.
R.J. Carter September 15th, 2014 at 2:18 pm
“One eyewitness told cops they cleaned themselves up afterward with a tissue.”

stop.

It could be the people that witnessed the event didn’t want to come forward. I don’t know for sure but it doesn’t look good. So disappointed at the moment. I hope Watts hasn’t been playing with people through the media.

“Upon further investigation it was determined that no crime had been committed.” UScelebrity reports. it would make sense that if this one person was interviewed by the police in their “investigation” that the indecency was unfounded. think about it for a moment. just left a meeting and sitting in front of the building, for all the world to see, having full on sex with the car door open? i don’t think so. a black woman and a white man, kissing in a car and profiled, likely by some white woman. i guess all successful black women with white men would not look like them as a couple.

In newly released audio from the incident, the trouble escalates when Watts refuses to provide identification to the officer. “We’re not doing anything. I’m on the phone with my dad, this is my boyfriend, this is a public place,” Watts is heard saying. “You know how many times the cops have been called just for being black? I’m just being really honest.”
“Who brought up the race card?” an officer replies. “I said nothing about you being black. I have every right to ask for your ID.”
“I have every right to say no, and if you’d like to demand it, you can take me down to the court office and I can make a scene about it,” an irate Watts replies. “And you know what? I have a publicist and I work as an actor at [CBS Studios]. If you’d like my ID you can say I am resisting arrest.” “There’s no resisting, you’re just interfering,” the officer says as the disagreement over her ID continues.
Later, an emotional Watts is heard shouting on the phone, “I can’t make out with my boyfriend in front of my f—— studio without the cops getting called!”
Skydog2 September 16th, 2014 at 3:51 am
This is not a race issues, it’s a celebrity getting preferential treatment issue. A regular person having public sex would have been arrested.

The above article says the man with Ms. Watts is her husband. In the audio recording, she refers to the man as her boyfriend. Which is it?

Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Officer Michael Lewis said LAPD Sgt. Jim Parker, who had briefly handcuffed Watts, handled the situation with Watts the way he was supposed to have done. He said that Watts’s decision to be uncooperative is what resulted in her being detained, and that anyone who responded to an officer who was conducting an investigation in such a manner would be faced with the same result.
Watts and Lucas both matched the description of two people the 911 caller had alleged were engaging in sex in a car. The 911 caller had described a black female who was wearing floral shorts, a t-shirt, and sneakers; they also a white man wearing a black tank top.
According to Officer Lewis, if someone calls the police and complains of a public nuisance, such as a lewd act that is occurring in the public sphere, and authorities arrive on the scene to address and investigate that issue, they are required to furnish identification upon request.
