Added: 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]What they pulling you over for?

[00:00:01]>> Expired tags.

[00:00:03]>> And she need to pat you down for expired tags.

[00:00:06]That's a little obsessive.

[00:00:09]>> At least I think so.

[00:00:13]I thought expired tag you could just get a ticket. What's the need to pat down?

[00:00:16]Don't consent to no searches or none of that.

[00:00:18]>> Stop.

[00:00:18]>> I can speak freely.

[00:00:19]>> Hey, you need to back up.

[00:00:20]>> I am back.

[00:00:22]>> Just like I said, just don't consent to no searches or none of that. Now, that's a full search what you just did. You don't have to tell me how to do my >> Well, I know how to do it better than you, obviously. See, passenger, that's why you always film. You don't never let them pull you over. Driver as well.

[00:00:36]Don't never get pulled over without taping. Can I get your name and badge number?

[00:00:43]She acting like she can't hear me now.

[00:00:45]You going to fail the ID or you going to give me your name and badge number? I'm >> finishing my investigation.

[00:00:51]>> I'll wait.

[00:01:03]Ask her.

[00:01:06]>> I'm just asking you to let you >> Well, I'm not conducting the stop. You got to ask her what's going on.

[00:01:11]>> Is this your car?

[00:01:12]>> Is it? No, she got the people who car it. It is in there.

[00:01:14]>> Okay.

[00:01:16]So, you're just >> I'm just a concerned citizen. Okay.

[00:01:19]>> Not just to film. Just to make sure she doing her job right.

[00:01:23]She already overstepped.

[00:01:25]She didn't searched the passenger without consent.

[00:01:29]So that's that's already a violation right there.

[00:01:32]>> And it's supposed to be just for Do me a >> favor a little bit.

[00:01:35]>> Well, I'm I'm not too close. I'm That's why you here. I'm not too close. If I was too close, I'll be violating. I I'm keeping the distance. I've been distant since I got here. If all she stopped him for was just tags, I don't see what she need to pull the passenger out for. He didn't do anything wrong. He's just a passenger in the car. So why would he be searched and IDed?

[00:01:52]What's your name and badge number?

[00:01:55]>> Huh?

[00:01:56]>> Co.

[00:01:56]>> Curio. Baz number. What?

[00:01:57]>> 061.

[00:01:58]>> All right. But yeah, if it's just tags, couldn't she just cighted him and let him go?

[00:02:02]>> She's taking the car now.

[00:02:06]>> This look like it's back far enough. So, I understand that. But what about detaining the passenger and searching him and all that? He not the driver.

[00:02:12]>> By by its very uh definition, when when there's a traffic stop, that's the passenger. Nah, no. This the the passenger the passenger don't have nothing to do with the stop. He he might have to stay, but he don't have to ID cuz he's not driving. He's not making the violation.

[00:02:27]>> Voluntarily IDs himself.

[00:02:29]>> Well, he didn't. She obviously just made him do it. He didn't do it. And then she fully searched him. She didn't do a pat down on the outside. She physically went into his pocket.

[00:02:36]>> I see her like right there next to >> I got it on tape. I got it on tape. I heard it. I seen it.

[00:02:40]>> I got it on tape. I seen and heard it.

[00:02:42]>> Then you're probably a little too close.

[00:02:44]>> Nah, never too close. That's what Zoom is for. outside.

[00:02:48]>> The mic sounds zoom, too. Listen, the mic sounds zoom. Listen, the mic sounds zoom as well. And they was speaking loud enough to hear him.

[00:02:55]>> Well, he's in the car and he gives her that information.

[00:02:57]>> No, he was outside the car when that happened. See, if you was here, you would have knew.

[00:03:00]>> If he's in the car and he gives her that information, >> but that happened outside the car over here.

[00:03:03]>> Okay.

[00:03:04]>> See, that's what I'm saying. If you was here, you would have knew. Right now, you just assuming cuz you're not sure.

[00:03:07]You just got here.

[00:03:09]>> I'm telling you as a witness to it. All right. So, if we talking about that, then I was here and you wasn't.

[00:03:14]>> So, >> I would say primary would be him. He'd probably be like secondary.

[00:03:18]I'm a primary source cuz I was there of it happened. I'm contemporary why it's happened. I'm there with it. I exist while it's happened. I'm here. So, I could be primary. I don't know if you know how sources work, but you know, if you did, you would have been more familiar that I would be a primary source cuz I'm a firsthand source.

[00:03:35]>> I guess >> that's how it work.

[00:03:37]You could not agree, but that's that's how it work. SH1890.

[00:03:43]You guys can read that.

[00:03:44]>> It's not reading.

[00:03:46]>> That's not reading. That's just numbers.

[00:03:48]That's not reading letters and numbers.

[00:03:50]That ain't reading. It don't say anything. I said you you want to be a hard ass. I mean, you got a very condescending type of, you know, attitude right now. I don't see why.

[00:03:59]Just cuz I'm here recording. Is that irritating you or something?

[00:04:01]>> Not at all.

[00:04:02]>> Then why you acting the way you acting?

[00:04:04]>> I'm recording you just like you're recording me. Like, >> but I'm not giving you attitude. You being very condescending.

[00:04:08]>> How is that making you condescending?

[00:04:10]>> Your reactions, your whole body language, everything you've been doing since you got here.

[00:04:16]You may call it condescending. I may just be calling it like I'm not going to get sucked into whatever you got going on.

[00:04:21]>> I don't got nothing going on. I told you what I'm doing. I'm just watching.

[00:04:24]>> All right.

[00:04:24]>> Concerned citizen. Everybody should pull up and watch when police is here, right?

[00:04:28]>> Yeah.

[00:04:30]>> My question is, are you that concerned of a citizen within your own community?

[00:04:34]>> Obviously I am >> outside of the police.

[00:04:36]>> Obviously I am.

[00:04:38]>> It's what I do. I hold government officials accountable. That's my main concern.

[00:04:43]>> Hold community members accountable.

[00:04:44]That's >> your concern is to do that. That's your job. That ain't my job. As a citizen, my job is to hold the government accountable.

[00:04:51]That's your job to police the city.

[00:04:54]>> You're a Republican.

[00:04:55]>> I never said I was either or. I'm just a citizen standing up for people rights.

[00:05:01]Now, if that's what you call a Republican, hey, that's your opinion.

[00:05:05]>> I'm just I'm just wondering. I'm just >> I'm just giving you some side on my side. I'm just giving you a little information. I never said I was either or. I'm just a citizen.

[00:05:13]>> I'm just a citizen and stand up for people rights. Like I said, if you want to call that a Republican, >> weated.

[00:05:20]>> To each his own.

[00:05:22]>> We We need more people out there looking after everybody.

[00:05:25]>> We need more people like me. For sure.

[00:05:27]>> Everybody.

[00:05:27]>> For sure. We need more people like me. I hold people accountable. I file formal complaints. I follow up.

[00:05:34]I do whatever. I make small claims and we go to court after that if we got to. I hold them accountable to the full extent of the law.

[00:05:43]So >> hold you accountable.

[00:05:45]>> Members of the government.

[00:05:47]>> Do you do the same with council persons?

[00:05:49]>> Yeah, any members of the government.

[00:05:51]>> As long as you're fair about it.

[00:05:53]>> That's why I said members of the government and not specifically police.

[00:05:56]>> I'm good.

[00:05:56]>> All members of the government.

[00:05:59]Right now it's just specifically you guys cuz y'all here, but everybody get held accountable. So you typically do the same thing to passengers then cuz it sound like you're in agreeance with what she did. You'll pull a passenger out and detain him when he had nothing to do with the stop. He's just a passenger.

[00:06:12]That's the same thing if he was in the Uber ride. You pull over the Uber driver, the passenger is not subject to your arrest or search or any of that. He can step out and let you search the car, but you couldn't search him just cuz he a passenger. So, what's the difference with a personal driver? He's a passenger.

[00:06:25]>> Like I said, I wasn't here.

[00:06:26]>> That's why I asked you. Would you have handled it the same way?

[00:06:29]>> I don't know. I can't tell you.

[00:06:31]>> I mean, you could tell me. You don't want to tell me.

[00:06:33]>> I can't tell you because every situation is different.

[00:06:35]>> Okay. When you pull over Okay, look. If you pull over a car that every every traffic stop, >> that's why I'm asking you. I don't want to assume. That's why I'm asking you. I don't want to assume.

[00:06:43]>> That's simply not true.

[00:06:44]>> That's why I'm not assuming. I'm asking you. Would you handle it that way?

[00:06:47]>> I don't know. It depends on who the passengers are.

[00:06:50]>> You don't know who the passenger are.

[00:06:51]That's the whole thing. They're they're anonymous and they supposed to remain that way because they haven't committed any infractions. They haven't broken any law or broken any crime.

[00:06:59]>> Probation of parole.

[00:07:00]>> That's not an infraction.

[00:07:01]>> Do you know for sure he's not?

[00:07:02]>> That's still not an infraction.

[00:07:04]>> You know for sure. That's still Do you know? You just got here.

[00:07:07]>> I'm asking you.

[00:07:08]>> Do you know?

[00:07:08]>> I'm asking you.

[00:07:09]>> From what I heard, she didn't ask him, so I wouldn't know. I >> We typically ask that question.

[00:07:14]>> Well, I didn't hear her ask. I was right there.

[00:07:16]>> Ask.

[00:07:17]>> You didn't ask me.

[00:07:18]>> I don't need to ask you. What we have right here, this is just a consensual encounter.

[00:07:23]>> Yeah.

[00:07:24]>> That's what it's supposed to be with a passenger. That's what it's supposed to be with a passenger as well. It's supposed to be consensual cuz he can.

[00:07:30]He's supposed to be able to leave, too.

[00:07:31]If he didn't if he didn't commit any crime, any infractions, why is he detained? He's not even driving.

[00:07:36]Whatever reason you would stop the driver for has nothing to do with the passenger.

[00:07:40]>> The passenger is seized upon any detention in the motor vehic.

[00:07:42]>> He don't have to identify himself still.

[00:07:45]But he still wouldn't have to identify himself. Even if you would say he had to stay, he still wouldn't have to identify himself cuz he didn't do anything wrong.

[00:07:51]>> He doesn't have to identify himself.

[00:07:52]>> That's what I'm saying. But you said typically y'all identify everybody.

[00:07:55]>> Well, typically they'll they'll provide it voluntarily.

[00:07:57]>> That's because y'all don't tell them their rights that they don't have to.

[00:07:59]You just ask for it. So since you're in uniform, they think that's what they have to do. Now it would be a difference if you say you don't have to ID, but would you mind? I guarantee you 90% of them people wouldn't. But when you just say, "Give me your name and ID," they do it.

[00:08:11]>> They don't have to pull over, but they do it, right?

[00:08:12]>> Well, they do have to pull over if they being stopped.

[00:08:15]>> I mean, I'm just saying it's free will.

[00:08:16]>> No, it's a crime to not pull over. It's a difference. It's a difference between committing a crime and just doing what you want to do within the law.

[00:08:23]>> The problem is you think that I have to I have to go provide a a criminal justice 101 class with every >> No, that's not what I'm saying. If I ask them, >> that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is as a passenger, you don't have to What I'm saying as a passenger, you can literally stay quiet as a passenger.

[00:08:36]You don't you don't have to say >> even if they ask you if you're on probation or parole, you can literally not say >> 100%.

[00:08:42]>> And is you wouldn't be violating any law. So, at that point, why would he have to be pulled out and searched or any of that?

[00:08:47]>> If they don't say that they're on probation or parole and they're identified later as somebody that is on probation, >> Yeah. But that's something you would have to identify later, >> they would be in violation.

[00:08:54]>> That's something you would have to deal with later. But in the course of what happening in that stop, he's not required to speak to you. So that's something you'll find out later if you do a investigation into a person that you don't even have to. Now that'll be something whole on the sidebar, right?

[00:09:11]>> Just depends, man.

[00:09:12]>> On what? You you you saying it depends on what?

[00:09:15]>> There's a lot of factors that you're kind of over with.

[00:09:17]>> Like give me some.

[00:09:20]>> Like I said, I'm >> ah See, you ain't willing to talk. See, you just want to talk in circles. I'm not here for that at all.

[00:09:25]>> Just blowing smoke.

[00:09:26]>> I'm here to provide safety and a backup.

[00:09:28]>> She was never unsafe.

[00:09:30]>> I don't know that. I don't know.

[00:09:31]>> Well, you see that now, right?

[00:09:33]>> I'm saying right now.

[00:09:34]>> You can see that now, right? She's not unsafe, right?

[00:09:36]>> Maybe she wouldn't have been if I showed up. I don't know.

[00:09:38]>> So, I was going to tape myself do something to her?

[00:09:40]>> I don't know.

[00:09:40]>> Sound crazy. Is that logical?

[00:09:44]>> There's a lot of >> Is that something that is that something that typically happens?

[00:09:47]>> There's a lot of >> But is that Do that typically happen?

[00:09:50]>> Do that happen on the norm? I wouldn't be wearing this bulletproof vest if logic was applied.

[00:09:54]>> But you still not answering the question. Is that something that people typically How often do officers get attacked versus a officer harming a citizen? I I guarantee you the numbers are higher.

[00:10:05]>> Guarantee you.

[00:10:05]>> Army would imply that I'm I'm not going out of my way.

[00:10:08]>> Guarantee you the numbers are higher.

[00:10:09]>> Warranted.

[00:10:11]>> If you're talking about uses of force, >> I can guarantee you the numbers would be higher.

[00:10:14]>> Uses of force of of course there's going to be force that goes both ways. Uses of force. I guarantee you the numbers are higher though. I guarantee you cops kill more citizens than citizens kill cops. I guarantee you cops hurt more citizens than citizens hurt cops. Cops mostly die in car crashes. But y'all act like the the citizens are such a problem. Y'all die more in car crashes cuz they make laws where y'all don't have to not be on the phone where you can actually hold your phone. And then most of the time y'all just not paying attention and have an accident. That's how most officers die. It's not by the hands of a citizen.

[00:10:46]But when it comes to police versus citizens interactions, >> it would apply to any job where you >> Nah, nah, that don't. My job is probably more dangerous than yours.

[00:10:55]>> Yeah.

[00:10:56]>> Why is that?

[00:10:57]>> Even someone who just climbed utility po's job is more dangerous than y'all.

[00:11:00]More of them people died than police officers a year. That's the statistics.

[00:11:04]That ain't just what I think. That's just some facts.

[00:11:06]>> All right.

[00:11:08]>> So, I mean, you tell me if I'm wrong.

[00:11:12]Did you Did you feel unsafe with my presence here?

[00:11:16]I don't know her name. She wouldn't give it to me yet, so I can't address her.

[00:11:19]Excuse me, ma'am. Did you feel unsafe with my presence here? Little scaredy cop.

[00:11:26]I don't got no guns and [ __ ] I'm at work. What's she scared of?

[00:11:30]Come on, man. Make that make sense. I'm at work. I'mma do something to her.

[00:11:35]Would you had a call back up if I was taping you at work?

[00:11:38]>> You didn't call for backup. I just happened to see her. Ah, I seen her call for it. I seen her radio for it. I mean, you can lie to me because I know you can. Sure, if that's what you want to do, but I seen her radio.

[00:11:50]>> Freedom of information.

[00:11:50]>> I know. I know how to do that. I know how to do that as well.

[00:11:54]>> I know how to do that. So, you just thought she needed backup.

[00:11:58]>> I typically check on my partners when they're on traffic.

[00:12:00]>> Ah, so you just thought she was unsafe.

[00:12:02]She never said that.

[00:12:03]>> I didn't even see you.

[00:12:04]>> So, why you pull in then?

[00:12:05]>> I'm just checking to make sure she's >> Cuz you don't have nothing to do.

[00:12:08]There's no other crime in Compton.

[00:12:10]>> Oh, there's plenty of crime in Compton.

[00:12:11]>> So, why you here? She don't need you.

[00:12:12]She didn't radio for you. You just here just to be here, huh?

[00:12:15]>> I'm glad I came.

[00:12:16]>> Ah, gave me a chance for me to find out.

[00:12:17]>> You glad you came to to stand around and do nothing when there's other crimes that can be solved? You glad you're here?

[00:12:22]>> Are you on the clock?

[00:12:24]>> I am. Are you?

[00:12:26]>> I am.

[00:12:26]>> My job ain't to protect the city, though.

[00:12:28]>> My job ain't to protect the city.

[00:12:31]>> Yours is. So while you standing here with me with an officer that didn't request any backup guy protecting you >> with a with a with a officer that didn't with an officer that didn't request any backup. I feel like you just here wasting time.

[00:12:45]You keep trying to shuffle out of my camera and get on that side so the sun will be on that side. I need you in frame.

[00:12:50]>> I don't want to be sitting in the sun.

[00:12:52]>> I need you going to be in the sun if you're on that side or not. You just won't be able to be seen in my camera good if you're on that side. So that's why I keep shifting around. That's your right to me when I know that's why I do it.

[00:13:02]>> We're on public view or you're good to go.

[00:13:03]>> Hey, that's why I do it. This private property though.

[00:13:05]>> This not public.

[00:13:06]>> We're on public view.

[00:13:07]>> No, but we on private though. You know, I I just was making a distinction. So, cuz a lot of officers don't know the difference.

[00:13:12]>> We're standing on private property.

[00:13:13]>> Yeah. But a lot of a lot of officers don't understand the difference between the two. I've had officers try to trespass people from public property without them committing crimes and all type of [ __ ] cuz they think, "Oh, well, they said they don't want you here, so you got to go." When that's not how the law work. private property trespassing is completely different from public property. And a lot of officers don't understand it, too. Just like a lot of officers don't understand what an actual lawful order is.

[00:13:36]>> No, I'm telling you from experience. I'm telling you from experience. I'm telling you from experience. I have video evidence of it. I'm not just making this up by >> I'm not I'm not making it up. I'm just telling you from experience. This is from experience. I've had officers arrest me in city hall for trespassing.

[00:13:54]How do you trespass in city hall without breaking the law?

[00:13:57]>> Exactly my point. But it's happened. So this not me assuming or just saying any old random comment. I'm telling you from personal experience. This happens a lot.

[00:14:07]Officers don't even know what a lawful order is. A lot of the times they tell you it's a lawful order cuz I said it.

[00:14:12]No, it has to actually have a law backing what you're saying for it to be a lawful order. So I I've just had it all. I've seen a lot of it, man. So a lot of times these officers just don't know what they're doing. The six weeks of training just don't suffice. It don't. But y'all do that to have qualified immunity. I understand. Y'all y'all tell people when y'all pull them over that ignorance of the law is no excuse. But then y'all get qualified immunity in court for not knowing the same laws. The judge will give you a slap on the wrist. And then it's it's it's it's justified then, right? That's crazy. Y'all get qualified immunity for not knowing the law, but then y'all turn around and tell the citizens, "Oh, that's no reason. Just cuz you didn't know it, that don't mean it's not illegal. Y'all go in court and that hold up for y'all. So, I don't really understand the system when it come to that.

[00:14:59]Can you explain that?

[00:15:02]I don't think so.

[00:15:04]>> Hey, passenger, you should also request a supervisor cuz what she did was wrong.

[00:15:09]Y'all should request a supervisor to come to the scene now so y'all can file your complaint now. Request the supervisor. They got to call them out.

[00:15:16]Can I get your name and badge number now?

[00:15:18]>> He hasn't.

[00:15:18]>> No, I'm not. You you that's your policy to ID.

[00:15:22]>> But that's I'm not asking him. I'm asking you. What's your name and badge number?

[00:15:25]>> The num the badge number.

[00:15:27]>> All right. There you go. What starts as a simple stop for expired tags quickly turns into a scene that leaves a lot of people asking one question. Why is the passenger suddenly being treated like a criminal? Instead of a quick citation and a drive safe, officers allegedly pull both men out of the truck, place them in the back of patrol cars, and even begin searching a passenger who wasn't driving and according to the man recording, had nothing to do with the violation in the first place. That's when a concerned citizen steps in and starts doing something most people are too afraid to do, speaking up. Camera rolling. He reminds the passenger not to consent to searches. Explains that passengers generally don't have the same obligations as drivers during a traffic stop and repeatedly tells them to get badge numbers and file complaints if their rights are violated. But instead of answers, the tension only grows. The officer rolls the windows up. Backup shows up. And now what was supposedly an expired tag stop suddenly looks a whole lot more serious than anyone expected.

[00:16:28]The man filming doesn't let it go. He challenges the officers in real time, questioning why a passenger was searched, why IDs were demanded, and why this stop escalated so fast. In his view, this wasn't policing. This was an officer going fishing, assuming two black men in an old truck had to be guilty of something more. And maybe the biggest takeaway from this entire encounter is simple. Record everything.

[00:16:52]Because without a camera rolling, this could have easily turned into another story where nobody ever hears the other side.

[00:17:03]Well, you need to get out.

[00:17:04]>> No, I don't.

[00:17:05]>> Let's go.

[00:17:06]>> You don't.

[00:17:07]>> Let's go. Nope.

[00:17:18]>> We're not going to touch you, but the police will.

[00:17:20]>> How much you want to bet?

[00:17:22]>> You're in these ladies office and they don't want you in their office. So, >> you're not a cop. Don't talk to me.

[00:17:27]>> Yeah. Well, the cops are on their way.

[00:17:28]>> All right. Good.

[00:17:29]>> Oh, police officer. Good. Can I speak with you, sir? Could Could you please inform these people that as long as I don't interfere with them, I have the right to film there? They're they're stopping the service. They're interfering with my job at this point.

So, you can go ahead and say anything you want, but this video is going to be published, and there's thousands of people that are watching our videos. I would never break the law. I don't I don't break I respect more than anything policies in private places. This is if if this was a private place and I and they tell me you can't film, I'll be more than glad to leave because I don't I don't run a place like that. But you need to you guys respectfully, ma'am.

[00:19:13]>> I told you I for service and you're not.

[00:19:30]>> Okay. So, please let him speak. Don't interfere with his investigation. That's a crime. Give him a break.

[00:19:34]>> The Lakeland Police Department is on their way. They're going to talk to you more in depth. I'm just making sure we don't have a crime here of you pushing anybody.

[00:19:40]>> But I did not push anybody.

[00:19:43]>> He just threatened saying that we're going to see what was going to happen.

[00:19:46]And then he said that I was going to get fired. So >> Oh, exactly.

[00:19:50]>> She's going to Yeah, that's not a That's not a >> She's a liar.

[00:19:54]>> Unfortunately, I think he's I think what she's talking about is HIPPA.

[00:19:57]>> Yes.

[00:19:58]>> Hipp.

[00:20:00]Explain to them what HIPPA is.

[00:20:01]>> HIPPA law. We know what HIPPA is that I've been asking my clients and he's recording social. I'm asking I'm asking information about my clients.

[00:20:11]There's private information.

[00:20:12]>> HIPPA. There's no way that I can violate HIPPA. You guys can I'm not medical staff.

[00:20:18]>> I'm not medical staff.

[00:20:20]>> I'm not medical staff. You It's your job to It's your job to secure information >> for service.

[00:20:46]>> I do.

[00:20:46]>> Okay.

[00:20:47]>> I do. These videos are being taxed.

[00:20:49]>> Are you about to go probation or anything like that?

[00:20:51]>> I actually that's the first place I went and they were more than nice to me and they said, "Yes, sir. You have to you have the right to be here and film." So what's the difference about probation and children's and families?

[00:21:01]>> That that I can answer. When you came to our lobby, we weren't asking.

[00:21:04]>> No, this is our lobby. You're understanding that.

[00:21:07]>> When you came to the probation lobby, >> you were asking questions. They gave you the right to do that. But when you're in there and you're recording them, they're saying HIPPA stuff.

[00:21:16]>> They don't give me They don't give me the right. I have the right automatically.

[00:21:19]>> There's EA that you're violating with my clients. You're not I was helping them recording them. You please informed her that there's no way I could violate HIPPA. I'm not medical I'm not medical staff.

[00:21:52]Disorderly. I know exactly that. this Florida statute. What's the Florida statute for disorderly conduct?

[00:21:57]>> I'm just letting you know you're flirting with it at this point in time.

[00:21:59]>> No, I'm No, I'm not. People feel uneasy.

[00:22:02]>> Well, you're causing great emotional distress.

[00:22:04]>> Their feelings have nothing to do with me. You see, they're giving me emotional distress when they're violating my first amendment, right?

[00:22:10]>> So, let's make sure that we retract that >> as you ask you nicely not to >> and I nice and and my those were my specific words, sheriff. I said I would like to nicely refuse. Those were my specific words. So, you're more than glad to stick around, you know, but they need to understand that that you took an oath to protect my right.

[00:22:30]>> I'm making sure there's not a crime being committed.

[00:22:32]>> There's not a crime and they're lying.

[00:22:33]That Puerto Rican girl is lying about me making threats.

[00:22:36]>> The police is here. I'm going to go talk to them.

[00:22:42]>> What's up, brother?

[00:22:43]>> I'm just working on a video at the at the Children's and Family Place. The sheriff, I just spoke to the sheriff. He says just making sure that a crime wasn't being committed. Okay.

[00:23:52]>> Okay.

[00:23:53]>> This is an illegal detainment.

[00:23:54]>> Okay.

[00:23:55]>> You guys are breaking the law.

[00:23:57]>> Yeah, you are. Why is your hand on your firearm, though?

[00:24:54]>> All right. Thank you.

[00:24:56]I detained over here in Lakeland, Pole County, where people have no rights. You see, your sheriff, Grady Jud, says what what does he say when people break into people's houses in in Pole County? What does he encourage the people to do?

[00:25:11]>> Be very careful with where you're going down.

[00:25:13]>> I'm asking you a question. Why does this put him the other day? He didn't tell me.

[00:25:17]>> Well, he says it on all the time on TV.

[00:27:25]>> Okay.

[00:27:26]>> Are you How do you feel about that?

[00:27:27]That's terrible.

[00:27:28]>> Stand in line. You're not the first one in my life.

[00:27:30]>> Oh.

[00:27:30]>> So, can you please walk?

[00:27:31]>> I'm in a public sidewalk now. Am I supposed to leave the sidewalk, too?

[00:27:35]>> Okay. Do not get back on the property.

[00:27:36]>> That property belongs to us. I'm not going to because you guys are criminals who just illegally detained me for no reason. I haven't broken the law at all at all. I haven't been disorderly.

[00:27:47]>> I know the Florida statue. I haven't been disorderly at all. Enjoy your walk of shame. Enjoy your walk of shame.

[00:27:55]>> Yep.

[00:27:56]>> Enjoy your walk of shame.

[00:27:59]She probably gets by all these guys.

[00:28:04]Damn.

[00:28:06]>> Deputy Gran came in confused from the start, asking, "What job are they interfering with, as if documenting public officials somehow isn't a legitimate activity?" And the typical police tactic was deployed, fabricating allegations. Then the tired old hea excuse got thrown into the mix. It's amazing how many public employees still don't understand that it applies to medical professionals, not private citizens with cameras. If there's private information in public view, it's on the facility to secure it, not the responsibility of the cameraman to avoid it. As the situation escalated, officers from Pulk County arrived, and that's when things went from bad to worse. The unlawful detainment began, all while these officers refused to articulate what crime had been committed. Then, predictably, they demanded ID without reasonable suspicion of a crime, a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment.

[00:28:54]What's even more telling is the demeanor of these officers. Sheriff Grady Jud even placed his hand on his firearm, as if exercising constitutional rights somehow warranted deadly force. That's the reality of policing in America.

[00:29:07]Armed government agents treating basic civil liberties like criminal activity.

[00:29:11]The worst part, the smug attitudes, the refusal to answer direct legal questions, and the clear disregard for due process. When confronted about their actions, the only response was mockery, arrogance, and a complete lack of accountability. Massive respect to the cameraman for holding the line, standing firm, and exposing these tyrants for exactly what they are. The only way to combat this kind of abuse is with exposure. And thanks to the power of the camera, the world gets to see exactly who these officers serve. And let's keep going.

[00:29:44]Really difficult to figure out what this cat's up to right now.

[00:29:50]>> Hey, brother. How you doing?

[00:29:51]>> Good. How are you today?

[00:29:52]>> I'm doing all right, man. And what are we up to right now?

[00:29:54]>> Extra patrol. What's what can I do for you?

[00:29:56]>> Okay. Yeah, I was just wondering I I noticed that you were kind of not indicating before you turned, not indicating before you got over, weaving through traffic, and I was kind of wondering what was going on tonight that you felt like that was that was necessary to to do that.

[00:30:11]>> Have a good night, brother.

[00:30:13]>> Sir, are you a sovereign citizen?

[00:30:19]There you go.

[00:30:32]Sir, I can see you got a bag there in the back.

[00:30:55]This says Walmart extra patrol.

[00:31:01]I really wonder if the taxpayers pay for Walmart to get patrolled by cops cuz I feel like Walmart should be providing their own private security, not the taxpayers.

[00:31:15]But what do I know?

[00:31:18]I'm just a idiot, I guess.

[00:31:22]Sir, I was wondering, could I go around town and not indicate before I turn and weave in and out of traffic like you did? I'll be good. You won't try to pull me over under the threat of violence or will you still try to drag my ass out of the car if I don't comply with everything you say?

[00:31:42]You can see you were driving through the parking lot pretty, you know, not following the roadway, just going right through parking spaces.

[00:31:52]>> Something's coming up. Something's coming up through the scanner. Hold on.

[00:31:56]They're talking.

[00:31:58]>> They're talking to me.

[00:32:01]>> He's at Walmart with Here we go.

[00:32:04]>> Step away from the door there, buddy.

[00:32:07]>> Go ahead, my brother.

[00:32:09]He's at Walmart somewhere.

[00:32:15]So, I don't know what your problem is.

[00:32:17]I'm parked here doing extra patrol. I don't know why you've decided to acost me because you got upset because I drove through the back half of the lot and came around like I do every night and parked here because we're trying to deter shoplifting. That's what I'm doing here. So, I don't know what you guys's problem is. Okay. But the only problem is here is you clearly have hostility toward law enforcement. I don't know what your issue is.

[00:32:37]>> They're me asking you questions about why you're >> radio and your phones. No one. No one's me asking you questions about why you're weaving in and out of traffic not indicating before you turn. That's not hostile, sir. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this now.

[00:32:48]>> Never weaved in and out of nothing. Calm down. Around the back half of the lot and park always do.

[00:32:53]>> We got it all on camera.

[00:32:54]>> Come over here with your hostility.

[00:32:56]>> We got it all on camera. That's fine.

[00:32:58]Glad you got it on camera. So do I. Cuz see I got a body camera recording you.

[00:33:01]>> No, we got your traffic violations.

[00:33:02]>> I don't know what your problem is. This is a private parking lot. There's nobody parked in the back half as you can see.

[00:33:08]I just around and parked here.

[00:33:09]>> Calm down. That's ridiculous. Are you kidding me?

[00:33:11]>> Let's calm it down.

[00:33:12]>> Did a officer accost you in some way, shape, or form?

[00:33:15]>> When you're out When you're out by this stop light here, you didn't indicate before you turned into the into the turn.

[00:33:19]>> Stop light here.

[00:33:20]>> When there's a Yeah, there's a stop light right out on the highway. And when you were turning off the road, you didn't indicate before you got into the turnlight.

[00:33:26]>> Is that true? Are you kidding me?

[00:33:28]>> We You've got it on camera. I've got it on camera. Are you going to lie on camera, sir?

[00:33:32]>> No, I'm not going to lie.

[00:33:33]>> Okay. Well, then hey, let's calm down.

[00:33:34]Why are you mad? Why are you so combative?

[00:33:36]>> Falsely accused. No.

[00:33:37]>> Why are you so combative right now?

[00:33:38]>> Okay, so I've not caused a problem with you. I've just been sitting here and you guys swarm my truck, >> pull your cameras up and start falsely accusing me of weaving in and out of parking spaces. I did the same semicirc that I always do when I come here to park. I've been doing this for the last couple of year to deter shoplifters.

[00:33:52]This is what we do. And I drove around the back half of the lot. I sat here and parked and you guys came over here and started very angrily and aggressively asking me all these why did you do this?

[00:34:01]Why did you do that?

[00:34:02]>> Sir, nothing was angry or aggressive.

[00:34:04]Nothing was We've got it all on camera.

[00:34:05]I've been very professional with you.

[00:34:06]>> I don't know what you're trying to professional with me. What can I do for you? What are you trying to accomplish?

[00:34:10]>> I was trying to ask why you didn't indicate before you got into the turn lane out there by the stoplight. You rolled your window up on me and so I continued to ask. I don't think anything I said there was a lie.

[00:34:19]>> Yeah, you're clearly clearly being hostile, >> sir. No, no, nobody's being hostile.

[00:34:23]>> Cuz there's other officers here watching you a little bit ago and guess what? My camera's been active the entire time.

[00:34:27]>> I think that these guys probably went to their local training seminars and know not to give us any problems when we're asking them questions.

[00:34:33]>> We I don't even know what you're talking What do you What's the problem? Just when people when members of the public come and ask you questions, brother, the best thing you can do is just answer them instead of being hostile and combative.

[00:34:41]>> You asked me to leave. No, no one was combative. You asked me questions assuming that I had done wrong and I hadn't done anything wrong.

[00:34:46]>> We watched over on the back half of the lot and sat here and park. What is your problem?

[00:34:49]>> No, we watched you do wrong. We didn't We're not assuming you did wrong. We watched you out on the out on the road.

[00:34:54]You didn't indicate before you got over.

[00:34:56]>> Okay, >> look, it is what it is, man. I'm not >> That's not my memory of it. That's not my memory of it.

[00:35:00]>> I'm not mad about it. You need to calm down. Okay.

[00:35:02]>> Maybe I am calm, but I am frustrated that I don't know what this is. What are you trying to do, man? What are you trying to >> It's frustrating when when people kind of come back and ask you the same questions that you ask them every day.

[00:35:11]Right.

[00:35:11]>> Right. Did anybody cost you or cause you any kind of a problem? I don't get it.

[00:35:14]>> No, but sir, I didn't break a traffic law today.

[00:35:16]>> Are you sovereign citizens or something?

[00:35:18]What are you doing, >> sir? I didn't I didn't break any laws today.

[00:35:20]>> And I haven't either. So, what is your problem?

[00:35:22]>> You did. You did, sir. We got it on camera around the back half of the lot and came over here and parked and I've just been sitting here like I always do.

[00:35:28]I don't understand. What are you guys trying to accomplish, >> sir? We're just trying to get to the bottom of why you did why you broke the law.

[00:35:34]>> Okay. I don't.

[00:35:34]>> We just want to know why you broke the law.

[00:35:35]>> I don't believe that I did. So, I don't know what your problem is.

[00:35:38]>> Okay.

[00:35:38]>> So, >> maybe you don't remember. Maybe you don't remember doing it, sir. We were just coming to ask, but there's no reason to be hostile with the police.

[00:35:44]>> Nobody was being hostile with you.

[00:35:46]>> Did I do anything or say anything?

[00:35:47]>> Nobody was being hostile.

[00:35:49]>> Okay.

[00:35:49]>> And we weren't hostile to you. What did we say to you that gave you an indication that we were hostile?

[00:35:53]>> Much more. You're not nearly as loud or aggressive as you were when you walked up to >> Well, when you got your window closed, bud. We got to talk a little louder.

[00:35:59]>> You started doing that. When your window's up, we got to talk a little louder for you to hear us. You understand? Problem is you you rolling the window up is a little combative just in the first place.

[00:36:08]>> Mr. Roll say, "Okay, whatever. I I don't I don't want any part of the conflict. I don't know what your issue is."

[00:36:12]>> Hey, when you pull guys like us over, >> walk up to your car like that.

[00:36:15]>> When guys pull us over, we don't like it when you make us roll our window down.

[00:36:19]>> You over?

[00:36:20]>> No, you didn't. But I'm sure you do it all the time, brother. But hey, look, it's not when the shoe's on the other foot, there's no need to get angry and combative about it.

[00:36:27]>> I'm not angry. I'm upset. I'm frustrated with you guys. My understanding was why are you doing this?

[00:36:31]>> Well, we just do it because we saw you break the law. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.

[00:36:35]>> No, I don't I don't believe that I did.

[00:36:36]>> Okay. Yeah. You don't have to believe that.

[00:36:38]>> You don't have to believe that you did.

[00:36:40]>> Great. Okay. I don't believe that. So, I don't know what your problem is and why you guys decided to come walk up on my truck and asking all these loud aggressive questions. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm sitting here some providing extra control for Walmart. I answered that question. You didn't like that. You You continue to follow up and ask more questions to try and get me jammed up with something. Tyler, man, isn't that when when you see a guy break a law and he then he asking questions, it's combative.

[00:37:02]>> Yeah.

[00:37:02]>> Look, you don't have to believe that you did because we saw you do it, brother.

[00:37:05]>> I don't believe that.

[00:37:06]>> We saw you do it.

[00:37:08]>> Back off of the lot and parked here and I'm sitting here like I always do and you guys come storming up to the car with three phones being all loud and aggressive doing the sovereign citizen thing trying to get him. I don't know what you're get all these guys. No, the only person that's that broke the law and got away with it, sir, was you.

[00:37:22]>> No, not at all.

[00:37:23]>> Cuz we didn't break the law. You falsely accused me of leaving and out of parking spaces. I drove around the back although like I always do every night and then I parked over here and sat here like I always do like I've been doing for a couple of years. Where were you the last two years? It's never been an issue. I don't understand what what your problem is.

[00:37:37]>> I don't have a problem.

[00:37:38]>> Okay.

[00:37:40]>> All right.

[00:37:40]>> Yep.

[00:37:41]>> Okay.

[00:37:41]>> But uh I was I was just asking is this your office here? You you with Vince Hens?

[00:37:46]>> Yeah, we all we work for Vince.

[00:37:48]>> Yeah, I I see some state guys here.

[00:37:50]They've kind of just observing. But yeah, man. uh problem here with your guy when he was on the turn when he was getting into the turn lane up by the light up here. He just didn't indicate.

[00:37:58]We don't look I understand sometimes, you know, you're driving, you're driving for hours, gets away from you. I just come up to ask questions. You know, there's nothing wrong with that. And >> your man here has been very hostile, combative with me. He's not really wanted to answer my questions. And I can see he called other men with guns to back him up, which I don't really think that's necessary dudes who were in my truck. I don't know what's going on. I don't know. Hey, the same thing goes when you pull somebody over, but they don't call their boys to come with guns and back them up, man. Nobody knows you either, dude. Like, >> so I don't see when the shoes on the other foot. What is the issue?

[00:38:29]>> The problem is, man, I'm sitting here minding my own business, >> sir. I've told you I don't have a problem besides the fact that you broke the law.

[00:38:34]>> I believe so.

[00:38:35]>> Okay. So, so you said he didn't use his turn signal. You guys came up and credited him about it. Obviously, this has not been a productive conversation.

[00:38:45]um he's going to continue to stay here at Walmart. The reason we're here is to deter shoplifterss. There's a huge problem with shoplifterss here. So, um honestly, guys, I don't see this conversation going anywhere. So, it's a shame that we couldn't all come to some kind of common ground, but that's probably not going to happen. We're going to go our separate ways.

[00:39:05]>> I And I'm fine with you guys leaving.

[00:39:07]You guys didn't break the law. I was going to ask this gentleman, you know, just to settle this traffic infraction.

[00:39:12]And I don't know what's the going rate for a noturn signal. Is it about $35 per ticket or 100 or >> Can I just say something?

[00:39:18]>> Yeah. I mean, we I I wouldn't mind getting paid for it. I think it would be pretty cool. But >> Okay.

[00:39:25]>> We saw them.

[00:39:25]>> Okay. I I understand that.

[00:39:27]>> I'll write up a report and everything >> when I'm off duty.

[00:39:30]>> Yeah.

[00:39:30]>> Even if I'm in that truck.

[00:39:32]>> Yeah.

[00:39:32]>> Okay. And if I see somebody not use their turn signal or maybe they're going a little too fast or something, some sort of non-hazardous moving violation, I can't I can't pull them over. I can't confront him about it. And I'm in a marked vehicle. Okay. But it's just it's not important enough for me and plain clothes, maybe no armor to go up and confront them about it. Honestly, I gotta say I don't agree with you guys coming up here and and he's a he's a city police officer. You guys are absolutely in your right to come up and talk to the man, but to come up in an accusatory tone about him not using a turn signal.

[00:40:14]How How did you think it was going to go? Man, >> I just I just kind of figured you guys do it to everybody all day and long, so I figured you guys would be pretty cool with it. I might I was wrong, I guess.

[00:40:24]But we do it to people sometimes, some of the day, okay? But but we do a lot more than traffic infractions. It's part of what we do, but it's not everything that we do.

[00:40:33]>> Yeah. But but we don't see a whole lot.

[00:40:34]So when we see a traffic infraction, we just got to go check it out, man. And look, I don't have a power to ticket, so all I can do is ask questions, right?

[00:40:41]>> Sure. And you're >> That's all I can do.

[00:40:42]>> It's absolutely fine to ask questions.

[00:40:44]Right. But I got to say, if you had said that that you saw an officer driving recklessly, if you saw him weaving in and out of traffic, if you saw him doing something that was hazardous, then you and me would be sitting down and we'd be talking about it. But if you're telling me that you saw him not use his turn signal, I don't agree with your decision to come up and and and >> have a conversation about that. So, we we'll agree to disagree. The fact is >> the man is here to deter shoplifters.

[00:41:18]That's what he's going to continue to do.

[00:41:20]>> Uh we're we're going to go our way and I'm going to tell you guys it didn't go well. So, we're going to part we're going to part ways now. Okay.

[00:41:31]>> Hey, I'm fine if you guys want to leave, man. I mean, I uh >> if you guys want to continue shopping, that's your business. But yeah, >> right. Yeah. And I you know, I got some stuff that I need. When I see a traffic infraction going on, there's nothing wrong with just coming and asking a question. I get that you may not agree with that, but >> sure, >> that's okay. We, like you say, we'll agree to disagree, but you guys >> I mean, look, nobody's holding you here.

[00:41:51]I don't I don't really care if you guys be here.

[00:41:52]>> I just wanted to know, man. I wanted to know, do you cuz you keep asking me if I'm a sovereign. I wanted to know, do you feel like you can break the traffic laws with complete immunity? Cuz that's what I want to ask.

[00:42:02]>> Listen to me. This is the last thing that's going to be said in this conversation.

[00:42:06]>> You're going to try to limit my speech?

[00:42:08]>> No. What's your name and badge number, sir? Lancaster. You say you're going to say that this is the last thing I'm saying, sir.

[00:42:13]>> Uh, this is I'm saying this is the end of this this conversation.

[00:42:15]>> Cool. Then leave.

[00:42:16]>> Guess what? The Vincent Police Department is actually three officers short right now. One, two, three guys.

[00:42:23]>> It doesn't look like it to be honest.

[00:42:25]>> If you guys want to enforce traffic infractions, go to vincent.org and fill out an application. Guys, >> I I'll be honest. Seeing you guys with seven people, eight people here, it doesn't look like you're three officers short, man. Looks like he got a little bit too much pork going on around here.

[00:42:39]>> Okay. Well, >> but that's my opinion, right? We all got the right to disagree. So, I mean, >> we sure do.

[00:42:44]>> Absolutely.

[00:42:44]>> Okay.

[00:42:45]>> Are you a sovereign citizen?

[00:42:47]>> No, brother. Have a good night.

[00:42:50]>> Take care, y'all. Take care.

[00:42:53]>> This video perfectly shows what happens when an officer is held to the same standard he enforces and completely falls apart. The cameraman notices an officer driving recklessly, ignoring signals and speeding through a Walmart parking lot. So, like any informed citizen, he steps up and starts asking questions calmly, directly, and with the camera rolling. But the moment the officer gets called out, he flips the script. Suddenly, he's the one under attack. He gets defensive, claims the cameraman is being hostile, calls for backup over a conversation, and to justify it all, he says he's deterring shoplifterss at a Walmart that closed 5 minutes earlier. Let's be clear, if you enforce the law, you'd better follow it.

[00:43:34]And if citizens are expected to cooperate, cops should be able to answer a few basic questions without acting like they're under siege. So, here's the takeaway. Always film. Always ask, always hold them to their own standards.

[00:43:47]Respect to the cameraman for staying calm and calling out the double standard. This is what real accountability looks like. Let's keep going.

[00:43:56]>> Yeah. So, so just tell me one more time why you're asking me to step out of the vehicle.

[00:44:00]>> Cuz I believe you're a suspect in various thefts.

[00:44:03]>> Various thefts.

[00:44:04]>> Various thefts.

[00:44:05]>> Okay.

[00:44:05]>> Step out.

[00:44:06]>> So, I am I am asking for a supervisor.

[00:44:09]>> Cuz you are a liar.

[00:44:11]>> Okay.

[00:44:11]>> You're a liar.

[00:44:12]>> Okay.

[00:44:12]>> You're tell you're telling me >> step out.

[00:44:15]Can you please bring a supervisor?

[00:44:17]>> Yeah. Space this way for me.

[00:44:20]>> Okay. You don't have any weapons on you right now.

[00:44:21]>> No, I do not. What? What is going on? I need an I I'm requesting Deputy Vargas.

[00:44:49]>> Okay? I'm not denying you that at all.

[00:44:51]>> Put your hands in your pockets, sir.

[00:44:53]>> If you would like to put your hands in your pockets, do carefully pat you down.

[00:44:55]It'll make us feel a lot more comfortable. Until then, we want you to keep your hands out of your pocket.

[00:44:59]>> My hands are out of my hands or out of my pockets.

[00:45:01]>> I know, but people will just naturally put their hands back in your pocket.

[00:45:05]That's what I did. So, it make us feel comfortable if you let us.

[00:45:08]>> I do not have any weapons. Deputy Whitaker, you know, you're going to get a big fat complaint in your jacket.

[00:45:14]That's for sure.

[00:45:14]>> Yeah.

[00:45:15]>> Yeah, you are.

[00:45:16]>> Yeah, you are. You're accusing me. You keep accusing me of crimes.

[00:45:18]>> Come to the back of the car.

[00:45:22]>> You don't have to face that way. Just come to the back of the car.

[00:45:35]>> Because I called Captain Chips and and asked about you. Because I called Captain Mallik and asked about you. Is that what this is all about?

[00:45:44]Do me a favor. Turn that way.

[00:45:49]>> Can you uh just bend us down a little bit? I'm a little vertically challenged.

[00:45:53]I just want to >> You're vertically challenged.

[00:45:56]>> Me? You want me to bend down?

[00:45:58]>> Look that way for us.

[00:46:00]>> Yeah. Will you remove your glasses and look that way? C >> Can you please bring a supervisor out here?

[00:54:23]>> No.

[00:54:24]>> What do you mean no? Well, that's what you're doing. I mean, that is what you're doing.

[00:54:29]>> That's what you think of.

[00:54:30]>> No, that's what you are doing. That's what you are doing. I was trying to make a living over here.

[00:55:14]And >> where's the supervisor? Where's the supervisor?

[00:55:17]>> I bought this watch at Target.

[00:55:19]>> I'm not saying that you stole that. You have very distinct features that stuck out in the video. Okay. And I believe that you're the suspect in it. So, you have two options. You can accept a citation for shoplifting or you can say no.

[00:55:31]>> What?

[00:55:31]>> Or and it'll get submitted as a warrant deck and you can get picked up later on with a warrant.

[00:55:37]So, there's two options for you. It's your choice.

[00:55:43]>> I want to talk to a watch commander now.

[00:55:45]>> Okay. You have the right to do that. But right now, I'm asking you, would you like a citation now or would you like us to submit it to the district?

[00:55:52]>> What is involved with a citation? I haven't done anything, deputy.

[00:55:55]>> Okay.

You do that. You >> choose to put a warrant out then you do that.

[00:56:17]>> And then at that time you'll be taken to jail.

[00:56:19]>> You do that.

[00:56:20]>> Yeah, you do that. Yeah, you do that.

[00:56:52]They looked up my >> Is it 818293?

[00:56:56]>> Good job. Wow. You can do some work.

[00:56:59]>> Good job. Good job, dog.

[00:57:00]>> Is the 100 North Skyline Drive a good address for you?

[01:01:06]>> Who's the one that filed?

[01:01:07]>> Pardon?

[01:01:08]>> You don't know who's the one that filed the charges.

[01:01:10]>> Oh, but did you Oh, there are charges that have been filed.

[01:01:23]>> We go in circles with you. Okay.

[01:01:25]>> No, because you guys you're the ones who go in circles over there. Okay. And they call for us to call for service and we show up and you are harassing them in any way. You're going to be removed from the property. It's that simple. Okay.

[01:01:36]So, right now, there's no other questions that we have for you. We've got what we need. You're going to There's >> What's your name?

[01:01:42]>> Attorney. Petro.

[01:01:43]>> Um, so do you have it? Why? Like why is when if there's this footage, Deputy Petro, why why is there is there an actual Detective James that you know of?

[01:01:54]Why why why did Detective James not uh follow up with me on this?

[01:02:03]>> That's why on patrol, you're in the area we control going through the investigation. He doesn't have time to go through every single case. So, we're doing this on his behalf to help Okay, that better be true. It better It better be true.

[01:02:20]>> I'm sorry.

[01:02:23]>> These guys Yeah, these guys are accusing me of being a shoplifter.

[01:02:30]>> Okay. No, I just want to make sure.

[01:02:37]>> So, you're accusing me of having stolen um hard drives. Is that what it is?

[01:02:42]suspect that >> for hard drives.

[01:02:44]>> Okay, I just want to know.

[01:02:47]>> Goodbye.

[01:02:48]>> This is just another textbook case of cops using intimidation tactics instead of doing their jobs properly. The officer straight up accused this guy of being a suspect in a theft without any real evidence or probable cause. It's painfully obvious that they were trying to trap this guy into giving up his rights. First, they say he's a suspect in various thefts, but when asked for details, it's all just smoke and mirrors. No specifics, no real proof.

[01:03:13]The officer wouldn't even get the supervisor. That's a huge red flag. You have every right to request a supervisor. And let's talk about the whole nonsense of if you have nothing to hide, why not let us search your car?

[01:03:24]That's manipulation, pure and simple.

[01:03:26]Refusing an illegal search is not suspicious behavior. It's a smart move.

[01:03:30]It's your constitutional right. If this ever happens to you, demand a lawyer.

[01:03:35]Once you do that, the police are legally required to stop questioning you until your lawyer is present. It stops them from fishing for incriminating statements or twisting your words.

[01:03:43]Without a lawyer, anything you say can and will be used against you. Always ask for their badge number, film everything, and refuse to comply with unlawful orders.

[01:03:55]Your better explain to me why you're breaking the law and driving on a sidewalk.

[01:04:01]>> Huh?

[01:04:02]>> I don't give a damn what you got to do.

[01:04:04]WHY YOU DRIVING ON a sidewalk?

[01:04:07]It's not from motorcycles. It's not from motorcycles.

[01:04:10]>> Ask you to let me work.

[01:04:11]>> I don't give a damn what you're asking me to do. It's not from motorcycles.

[01:04:16]You're driving with no lights on the sidewalk.

[01:04:20]You think you're above the law? Piglet, do you think you're above the law?

[01:04:25]Sha Bean Police, do you think you're above the law?

[01:04:32]Yes or no? The law doesn't apply to you.

[01:04:37]law does not apply to you.

[01:04:40]>> Yeah.

[01:04:40]>> And by the way, you don't you don't have any business here. What do you What's your business? What's your business on this private lot?

[01:04:47]>> I'm doing work.

[01:04:48]>> You're doing work. Go park on a public street, then.

[01:04:52]Go do your work on a public street.

[01:04:56]This private lot is not for you to do circles around the building.

[01:05:05]>> Sure. I'm going TO ASK YOU, >> WHAT WORK ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW? TELL ME WHAT is the work. What's the traffic stop? What is the traffic stop? What's the traffic stop?

[01:05:14]>> Give me room to work.

[01:05:15]>> I have every right to do exactly what I'm doing. I'm addressing my grievances with my public servant in whatever tone I choose to. You don't like it, you can jump back on that piece of garbage of yours and ride along so I can work.

[01:05:29]>> You're not working.

[01:05:31]>> You're not working. When you're actively with your emergency lights on, you're working right now. You're in the course of your duties and I have every right to record you. I have every right to address my grievances and you don't tell me where to stand.

[01:05:44]>> I'm going to ask you.

[01:05:44]>> I don't give a damn. Your request is denied.

[01:05:47]>> Okay.

[01:05:48]>> Kiss my >> They may or may not want that to happen.

[01:05:50]Okay.

[01:05:51]>> They may or may not. Exactly. Until they say so, you can kiss my ass.

[01:05:55]>> Until they say so, you can kiss my You want to go over there and solicit a trespass? I don't want >> Do you want to go over there and solicit a trespass?

[01:06:03]>> Okay.

[01:06:03]>> Do you want to go and solicit a trespass?

[01:06:06]>> You're not involved in the in what?

[01:06:09]>> What's involved?

[01:06:10]>> You're not involved.

[01:06:25]>> We shouldn't be too long.

[01:06:26]>> Okay. Right in.

[01:06:31]So, what are you doing?

[01:06:34]>> What's your work?

[01:06:35]>> Well, I'd like to be able to do my work, but you're so close to me.

[01:06:38]>> What's your work that I don't want that I don't want to do?

[01:06:40]>> What's your work? What's your work?

[01:06:43]>> I do traffic enforcement.

[01:06:44]>> That's not That's That's not part of your duties.

[01:06:48]Your duties are to enforce criminal law.

[01:06:50]Law? What are you doing?

[01:06:54]>> Traffic.

[01:06:55]>> No. No. That's That's not what you're doing. That's not what you're doing.

[01:06:59]Yes.

[01:06:59]>> You're fishing.

[01:07:01]>> I don't know what you're saying.

[01:07:02]>> You don't know what I'm saying? You don't know what fishing means?

[01:07:04]>> I don't know what you mean by that.

[01:07:05]>> Oh. So, what what Okay, tell me what were you doing when you were driving on the sidewalk looking into people's cars?

[01:07:12]What were you looking for?

[01:07:14]>> Cell phones and >> Right. So, is that is that active policing?

[01:07:18]>> Yes.

[01:07:18]>> Or is that really really active policing? So, does that also involve you breaking the law? Does that authorize you to break the law?

[01:07:28]>> Does that authorize you to break the law?

[01:07:30]>> I'm not having this conversation.

[01:07:32]>> I am. I'm having this conversation with you.

[01:07:35]>> You are.

[01:07:35]>> I'm having this conversation with you.

[01:07:37]So, here's the question again. Are you authorized to violate the law when you don't have emergency lights?

[01:07:44]>> SHUT THE HELL UP. When I told you to stop, you should have stopped when I involved in what I'm trying to do.

[01:07:52]>> What are you doing? You're not engaged in anything right now. Are you actively engaged in something right now? Tell me, are you actively engaged in something right now? Where's your emergency light?

[01:08:03]There's not even a single light turned on on your on your motorcycle right now.

[01:08:08]Where is it? Show me. Show me what you engaged in. I don't see anything.

[01:08:14]I don't see any single light. I don't see you engaged in any traffic stop currently. Uh any police work? What What are you doing? What are you doing on this public or or excuse me, this private lot of this business establishment parked unlawfully by the way? Okay. Because you're not parked properly in in a in a space that you're supposed to be parked in, but you're actually then you broke the law. I confronted you.

[01:10:48]>> Really?

[01:10:48]>> You need to stand on the side.

[01:10:50]>> Show me a paper where it says I'm trespassed.

[01:10:52]>> I asked them. They did that. If you want to get arrested, you can stay here.

[01:10:56]>> I'm going to go ask them just to confirm it.

[01:10:58]>> You need to identify yourself.

[01:11:00]>> You need to leave.

[01:11:01]>> I never refused. I'm not I'm not going to leave.

[01:11:24]>> Yeah. No, we're letting you know that, right?

[01:11:27]>> You're letting you know what?

[01:11:35]>> Oh, he just solicited a trespass.

[01:11:38]>> Really?

[01:11:39]>> Uh, who's the who's the manager there?

[01:11:43]>> Who's the manager there?

[01:11:48]This video is a masterclass in holding road cops accountable. And this officer couldn't stand a second of it. Caught red-handed, a motorcycle cop was riding on a sidewalk, no lights, creeping through a private business lot like he owned it. But when the cameraman called him out, he had nothing. He started with silence, then tried to deflect because there's simply no justifying breaking the same laws you're supposed to enforce. And when he realized he had no defense, he pulled the typical coward move. Tried to get the business owner to trespass the cameraman. When they can't cite a law, they try to hide behind private property lines. What really matters is this. Police can't just cruise sidewalks and pretend it's part of the job. Being exempt doesn't put them above the law. And as a citizen, you have every right to film, challenge, and hold public officials accountable, especially when they're stepping out of line. So, never back down just because a badge barks louder than the law. And let's keep going.
