I don't know if I can count how many times this same topic is raised in this forum.

I just can't understand the reasoning behind it?

Well, you don't really need to. How other people exercise their rights really has nothing to do with you. If they're breaking the law, then there is a concern. Aguila is right. There are several reasons why people do this. The hopes to sue the police is probably very very low on the list of reasons. There's much safer and lower hanging fruit in the litigation world than messing with cops. For me, I find many of the videos educational, and sometimes, entertaining.

In New Zealand you can be arrested for refusing to give the police detail (name and address).

Same in some places in the USA, but not all. For the most part, in the USA, police can't just interrogate citizens on a whim or a hunch. We can't be arrested because we don't wish to enter into a consensual conversation with them. I kind of like that about my country.
