One of them, Officer Moore, told me I could not solicit and asked for my ID. I politely told him that I was not soliciting and that I did not have to present my ID to him.
He again stated he wanted my ID and I once again declined his request informing him that this was not a Terry stop therefore I did not have to produce identification. He stated that I did indeed have to produce ID because he asked for it. I once again declined. He then stated he would have me escorted off the property for not producing ID which elicited the same reply that this is not a Terry stop so therefore I did not have to produce ID.
After a bit of back and forth (10 minutes?), he called his supervisor over. When the SGT came up, about 10 minutes later, he was really nice and told me that I was not allowed to pass out flyers. By that time, it was already 11:52 and I would be heading into the game anyhow so it was no big deal for me to put the flyers away and go on in.
He followed me back to the tailgate where I dropped off the remaining flyers and went into the game with no problem. I personally did not see anyone have their flyers taken away from them but heard multiple people talking about it on the concourse.
So that is my little story. Funny... I thought for sure I was going to get the boot.

There is no policy or rule stated by the Chiefs that prohibits handing out flyers in the parking lot.
There is no rule or statute in Kansas City, Missouri or Jackson County that prohibits handing out flyers in public spaces.
You were illegally detained without cause and your detention was justified using laws/rules that do not exist.
That is criminal.
