In this body camera footage, police officers from the LVMPD​ illegally detain then falsely arrest Joshua Martinez outside of the Las Vegas Federal Courthouse​. While they claim that they he is required to identify himself because marshals working inside had asked him for ID, they also readily admit several times that they are not accusing him of having committed a crime.

In addition, they admit that he is on public property, which he has not been trespassed from. Contrary to what they claim, a legal detention requires the police to have a reasonable suspicion that the person they are detaining has committed or is committing a crime. Since none of that actually applies here, he is not under any obligation to identify himself to them.
