Police should file a report on request. It is not their decision whether to prosecute or not - that decision rests with a prosecuting authority - attorney general or equivalent.

Take the names of the police staff who refuse.

Ask for their police ID and copy the details on it.

Try to take pictures of them - use your cellphone.

Get witnesses to the refusal.

If you can record the refusal on your phone, do so secretly. Set your phone to do a voice recording and put it in a top pocket or in a bag you place on the desk.

Ask to see their superior officer.

It helps a lot later when the refusl is investigated if you are at all time clearly polite, even in the face of refusal, and it helps even more if you are not drunk.

RULE NO. 1.Β  Police do not always up hold the law. They all have a personal agenda, whether or not they are honest. The new trend is toward brutal, unthinking, action. Trumpppp

The police in this country have been falling back into the mindset of the old west. They do not care if you are guilty or not, they jump to conclusions or decide guilt, then build cases to proveΒ  it. Just like the FBI has done for 100 years.
