Major tactical error.
The people videotaping are 100% in the right up until that moment. They do not have to talk to the cop, they do not have to stop videotaping, they do not have to show ID, they do not have to consent to being detained. They can ignore the cop and not interact with him at all.
Touch the cop, however, and he just committed a crime. That changes everything. Now they can be detained, arrested, ID'd, the works. Idiots.

Re: Off Duty Officer and guys recording at wal-mart
He's allowed to ask but it's not a crime if they refuse. Next time he'll be smart and give them a trespass warning and call it in if they don't di di mau.
