[h=1]Daniele Watts, ‘Django Unchained’ actress allegedly mistaken for prostitute, heard arguing with police in audio[/h][h=2]The Los Angeles Police Department addressed the incident Sunday, saying that its officers responded to a caller complaint that a male and a female were involved in indecent exposure inside a Silver Mercedes 'with the vehicle door open.'[/h]
Daniele Watts, the actress who claims she was wrongfully detained and handcuffed by Studio City police for making out with her boyfriend, argued cops had no right to demand her identification when they stopped her on Sept. 11.
In audio from the incident obtained by TMZ, Watts is heard arguing with the arresting officer as he repeatedly asks to see her ID.
“Do you know how many times the cops have been called ... just because I’m black and he’s white,” she’s heard saying.
The officer accuses Watts of bring up the “race card,” saying he was called by neighbors in response to a lewd scene.
“I have every right to ask your ID,” the officer says, as Watts protests.
The actress, who has also appeared on "Weeds" and "Partners," took to her Facebook page Thursday to share her experience — which she believes was the result of prejudice against her being black with a white boyfriend. Watts posted photos that her beau, Brian Lucas, took as she stood handcuffed and crying.
Witnesses from nearby buildings apparently told police they saw Watts and Lucas having sex in the passenger seat of their car, according to TMZ.
