His whole point was that he didn't have to. He is a police accountability activist who records the police. They know this, and they know him. This is a small town. (population 9000, and the whole county only has 15,000)
The fact is, the supreme court said in Adams v Williams, that cops can only do a Terry frisk of someone if they are suspected of a crime. He was filing a complaint against another cop and not suspected of any crime, therefore the demand and the frisk were a violation of his 4th amendment rights. Cops have been messing with him, that is why he records them always, and keeps all of his rights, no matter how small.
