I was just denied access and threatened with arrest again by #seattlepolice for not having ID while trying to get to my home in #CapitolHill. They claim they were given new orders this morning.

I went to a different entrance and the #seattlepolice there told another story - ID was not required. However they claim that they never received the initial orders to stop IDing 🤔

For context, here is the Deputy Mayor telling me on a conference call that ID will no longer be required as of 7:00PM on July 1st

And before you little gremlins get at me about my voice, it's intentionally pitch raised to be non-threatening so I don't get arrested.
INTERESTING: Officer Pinkerton in this video was named in a lawsuit in 2010 for refusing a the request of a 15 year old girl to escort her to the bus, and as a result she was robbed and beaten.

And yet today he INSISTED on escorting me home. 🤔

UPDATE: I reached out the Deputy Mayor about the incident. This is her reply, affirming they the city policy re: ID is still in place
