TYRANT COPS QUESTIONS ID REFUSAL AUDITOR... THEN REGRETS IT| ID Refusal Cops

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Yeah, apartment. It's uh Kern County and 1706.

[00:00:03]>> 1706? All right, man. These days will tell you I'm not a threat.

[00:00:07]>> Let her see going to jail. He's going to jail.

[00:00:09]>> Deputy Holmes, what is your badge number?

[00:00:11]>> 1404.

[00:00:12]>> 1404. Thank you very much. That's it.

[00:00:16]>> Today, we're heading to [music] Kern County, California, where two very different police encounters raise the same important question. How should public officials respond [music] when citizens exercise their rights?

[00:00:28]What begins as a simple request [music] for identification quickly turns into a tense exchange. One deputy doesn't seem happy about being asked for his name and badge number.

[00:00:38]Meanwhile, in another incident, deputies respond to a shoplifting arrest while an independent journalist [music] documents every step.

[00:00:46]Have these officers crossed the line, or are they handling the situation professionally?

[00:00:51]Credit goes to the original creators who continue documenting public interactions and helping spread awareness about constitutional rights [music] and government accountability.

[00:01:00]Be sure to subscribe to their channels using the links in the description.

[00:01:04]If you visit their channel, tell them ID Refusal Cops sent you and that we support civil rights education.

[00:01:11]Stay until the end because these encounters take unexpected turns and you're almost guaranteed to walk away with strong opinions about what happened.

[00:01:20]>> [bell] >> We'll get a case number?

[00:01:23]>> Quick question, guys. Between the three of you, what's the First Amendment?

[00:01:27]>> Freedom of speech.

[00:01:28]>> What else?

[00:01:29]>> Press.

[00:01:30]>> What else?

[00:01:32]>> Freedom of religion.

[00:01:32]>> There's five fundamental freedoms in it.

[00:01:34]Free speech is one of them.

[00:01:36]Help them out, fellas. Help them out.

[00:01:38]>> [laughter] >> Man, I'm going to have to go in there and train your department, man.

[00:01:44]>> You got the most important one though, right?

[00:01:46]>> Nah, they're all important.

[00:01:48]>> Right.

[00:01:49]>> Speech, press, >> religion.

[00:01:52]>> religion, assembly, >> Right to assemble, correct?

[00:01:55]>> and petition.

[00:01:57]Have the right to come and bellyache.

[00:01:59]I have the right to make complaints.

[00:02:01]Flip you guys off, but I'm not going to.

[00:02:03]You guys seem all right.

[00:02:05]>> Appreciate that.

[00:02:06]>> Yeah.

[00:02:07]So important the second amendment was written to protect the first.

[00:02:11]And these are our natural rights. Our parents gave us those rights when we was born. You know what I mean?

[00:02:16]And the Constitution is supposed to protect that and limit the scope of authority that cops have over us. Our government, all government. It's important that you guys know it's important that we know it cuz it keeps us a little bit safer.

[00:02:29]All of us, so.

[00:02:30]>> No, for sure. I mean, California laws aren't inherently evil because they give you more power and they give people more rights. You know what I'm saying? If anything, it makes the laws more strict cuz rights are being taken from people more in California.

[00:02:39]>> A lot of people talk [ __ ] about this state, but I like it, man.

[00:02:42]Yeah.

[00:02:43]>> I'm from here. I never leave.

[00:02:45]>> Originally from the area or what?

[00:02:47]>> No, I'm from up I'm from up north.

[00:02:48]>> Up north? The Bay Area?

[00:02:51]You remember Joe Grande, the radio guy?

[00:02:53]>> Which station?

[00:02:54]>> Uh I don't know. What >> 94.9?

[00:02:57]>> I think so. He was the last guy to interview Notorious B.I.G.

[00:02:59]>> Okay, yeah, yeah.

[00:03:00]>> He's actually a personal friend of mine.

[00:03:02]>> right?

[00:03:02]>> He does a I Heart Radio show called Cannabis Talk 101.

[00:03:05]Those guys threw me on stage with Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, all kinds of rappers.

[00:03:09]I've done events with them.

[00:03:10]Yeah.

[00:03:13]I got a I got a buddy up there, uh Bay Area Transparency. Shout out to him.

[00:03:17]He's uh He's got a really good channel up there in the Bay. Yeah.

[00:03:20]>> Yeah, I love it, man. You ever listen to Bay Area hip hop?

[00:03:22]>> I don't.

[00:03:23]>> No? You ever heard of Mac Dre?

[00:03:25]>> 100% Yeah. Yeah.

[00:03:27]Yeah. Mac Dre, I love Mac Dre. I was just listening to Mac Dre right now, man.

[00:03:30]Yeah. Really, that's funny. That's cool.

[00:03:34]Hey, man, if I get your name and badge number real quick?

[00:03:36]>> For what?

[00:03:37]>> Because I asked you to.

[00:03:38]>> Yeah.

[00:03:39]Fine.

[00:03:39]It's uh Burke Park and 1706.

[00:03:42]>> 1706?

[00:03:43]>> suddenly changes the dynamic.

[00:03:44]>> to tell you I'm not a threat.

[00:03:46]>> Notice how the deputy immediately questions the request [music] before eventually identifying himself.

[00:03:51]Across the United States, citizens generally have the [music] right to verbally question public officials performing duties in public places. The legal protection comes [music] primarily from the First Amendment, which safeguards speech, inquiry, and the gathering of information about government activity.

[00:04:07]The tension here is not about an ID [music] card, it's about transparency and accountability.

[00:04:15]>> These guys will tell you I'm not a threat. They've already made a threat assessment.

[00:04:18]>> No, no, I just got to You've been around forever, man.

[00:04:21]>> That's right. 9 years doing this, man.

[00:04:24]9 years.

[00:04:25]How long you've been a >> Always been respectful in the past, man.

[00:04:27]>> I have, huh? And I got to tell you guys, the sheriffs, the deputies, you guys don't give me crap like BPD used to.

[00:04:34]Yeah. They all kind of Not all, but most of them respect me now. They know what I'm up to.

[00:04:38]>> The California law gives you the right to record public >> Yeah, right.

[00:04:41]>> of privacy in the public.

[00:04:42]>> That's right, man.

[00:04:43]>> You've been most adaptive in that area.

[00:04:45]I'm not going to rough you up for what we're doing.

[00:04:46]>> Yeah.

[00:04:47]>> I've got to You've got to afford you the rights just like you afford everybody else.

[00:04:49]>> Yeah. I mean, I kind of started off as an [ __ ] with a camera, but I didn't even like seeing myself like that, you know? So, I switched it up, ask questions, find patterns.

[00:04:57]>> Yep. Not only that, dude. I mean, your own followers respect your work, too.

[00:05:00]>> Right.

[00:05:01]>> You're not being so just kind of like with us, man.

[00:05:06]>> Right. I appreciate you uh letting them know what's up, too, you >> That's our policy.

[00:05:10]>> That's right.

[00:05:14]This guy has a good attitude, too, man.

[00:05:15]I appreciate you.

[00:05:16]>> It's a common thing.

[00:05:18]>> Yeah. You're going to try to get your sheriff rounds in the future?

[00:05:21]>> Um or down the road, we are.

[00:05:23]>> All right. Make this guy work harder for you.

[00:05:25]>> [laughter] >> My job, man, it's my job to mold the best, serve, you know, to serve the community.

[00:05:30]>> That's right, man.

[00:05:33]Hey, the >> You you you provided me with the reminder, you know what I mean? All these laws and case laws I remember.

[00:05:37]>> Yeah.

[00:05:38]>> You even reminded me of the most fundamental one.

[00:05:39]>> Yeah, that's right.

[00:05:40]>> None of us are past learning. We learn every day.

[00:05:42]>> That's right, man. Same here, too. You know, I'm trying to learn every day, man.

[00:05:46]Hey, the I call them French fries, but how many years are those? Four or five?

[00:05:51]>> Five a piece, but this next month is my 15th year.

[00:05:53]>> You're going to get your third one, huh?

[00:05:55]>> Yeah, I'll get my third one next month.

[00:05:56]>> You like working out here in Kern County?

[00:05:58]You guys follow Kern County activities?

[00:06:34]Mind if I get your name and badge number real quick?

[00:06:36]I appreciate it, man.

[00:06:40]Mind if I get your name and badge number real quick as well?

[00:06:44]Presley 1594. Thank you.

[00:06:50]I like to identify everyone, man, when I'm on scene, you know.

[00:06:55]If possible, I I don't try to interfere or anything like that. I just try to >> Well, thank you, it was nice meeting you.

[00:07:01]>> No doubt. First time meeting you, man.

[00:07:02]>> No doubt.

[00:07:03]>> Marquez Marquez Wait, Marquez?

[00:07:06]>> I appreciate it, man.

[00:07:08]You have a good attitude, bro.

[00:07:09]>> Absolutely, bro.

[00:07:11]>> That's right.

[00:07:12]There's no reason not to, right?

[00:07:15]Uh there was a Bakersfield BPD officer on a traffic stop last time, man.

[00:07:21]Um I stumbled upon her, and she didn't see me, and I was kind of just hanging out by the tree.

[00:07:26]And she was cussing out the youngster, man. Cussing him out and everything.

[00:07:31]He started crying and [ __ ] I waited Yeah, the kid.

[00:07:34]>> Yeah.

[00:07:35]>> And uh she uh afterwards, I waited till she was done.

[00:07:38]I talked to her. I was like, "Hey, you know, you didn't have to do that." I was like, "You could because the other officer that was there on scene, he was actually respectful. He was talking to him. I was like, "Well, you don't have to have an attitude and cuss him out like that." I was like, "In reality, if he puts a complaint on you, it's going to come back sustained if he tells them you were being discourteous with that." With those swear words cussing at him, you know. And I'm not trying to I'm not trying to be a little [ __ ] about it, but I'm just like, "Come on, man. Like, be professional."

[00:08:02]>> There's definitely a time and place for everything, right?

[00:08:05]Um I got With kids, I think if you kind of play with them a little bit more >> Right.

[00:08:11]>> That's one thing, right?

[00:08:13]>> But don't make the kid hate you and the whole department, you know what I mean?

[00:08:16]>> Cuz that's that's not what you want, man. We want these kids to have good interactions.

[00:08:20]>> Right.

[00:08:20]>> Cuz unfortunately, like here in Oildale, right? There's a lot of kids >> out here.

[00:08:24]>> Yeah, it's wild out here. There's a lot of kids that have watched their parents get arrested, so they have a negative connotation. So, one of the big reasons like in my car, see how I have uh stuffed animals in there?

[00:08:36]>> Right, right.

[00:08:37]>> So, cuz it's one of those things like, "Hey, yeah, this may have been a negative interaction, but it's not your fault. Your parents may have done something that was illegal, but I'm going to give you this bear because I don't want you to think of the Sheriff's Office as negative, right? We're here to help people. Unfortunately, your parents just may have done the wrong thing."

[00:08:56]>> Right. Yeah. And I got to tell you, man, I've never had issues with with you guys, you know what I mean? Like, the Sheriff's Department's always been cool with me and I've always been cool with you guys when I'm out here.

[00:09:05]And uh but not even then, before I even started my channel um like on traffic stops, most most of the time deputies have been like a lot cooler than BPD.

[00:09:13]>> Yeah, we try to.

[00:09:15]>> Yeah. Huh?

[00:09:17]Bro, you didn't want to tell me your name and badge number, now you want my channel? See, you're under policy, I'm not, man.

[00:09:21]>> What's your channel?

[00:09:22]>> These guys Have you Have you seen my work before? Have you seen my channel?

[00:09:27]>> I just >> Man.

[00:09:28]>> You say your buddies are good characters?

[00:09:30]>> I have I have I have I have buddies everywhere, bro. Florida, I have friends everywhere now. Made friends with a billionaire. I made friends with all kinds of people cuz of my work, man. You know, and I try to be respectful to you guys.

[00:09:40]You know, you are under policy to identify when >> My bad. I was having a rough day.

[00:09:45]>> Forget all that, bro. I don't care if you have a rough day or not, man. You're supposed to be professional at all times. But, you know, it's I'm not going to hold it against you. You know, watch what I do, try to find the educational value >> This is the emotional peak of the encounter.

[00:09:59]The deputy openly acknowledges his earlier behavior, while the auditor reinforces [music] a principle often discussed in accountability cases.

[00:10:08]Public authority carries [music] professional obligations.

[00:10:11]Courts have repeatedly emphasized that criticism of government officials is protected [music] speech under the First Amendment.

[00:10:18]The scene becomes powerful because neither side escalates. [music] Instead, accountability is achieved through dialogue rather than force.

[00:10:29]>> For the most part, I do it for educational, you know, purposes.

[00:10:33]And uh San Joaquin Valley Transparency.

[00:10:35]My You I've been doing this on YouTube for 9 years.

[00:10:39]>> Okay.

[00:10:39]>> You know, I I've gained a large following. I made money when I never expected any of it, you know what I mean?

[00:10:45]And and it's >> It's a blessing, right?

[00:10:47]>> Yeah, dude. Yeah. I never expected any of it, bro. Like, in reality, I tried to stay anonymous as long as possible. But then I had people that I trusted who kind of docs me and told all the agencies who I was. Then they were sending cops to do like welfare checks on people that didn't live at the house.

[00:11:02]I was like, come on, man. Like, really?

[00:11:05]But nah, man. I I try to do this for educational purposes and you know.

[00:11:11]That's why I go >> the one who is kind of rude though when he does approach the dude. KC Kam Bwoy.

[00:11:16]>> Yeah, he's a piece of [ __ ] He A long time ago, he gave me copyright strikes.

[00:11:19]I used to roll with him and I didn't like the way he rolled, so I just left him behind.

[00:11:23]And he got he asked me to share some of his videos and I did and he almost took my channel down. And so I cut him off. I never [ __ ] with him again. And then another channel, which is a friend of mine, Celery County Cop Watch, he was rolling around with him.

[00:11:36]5 years later, he ended up taking Celery's channel down.

[00:11:39]And uh I'm going to try to help Celery back up. You guys go subscribe to Celery and let him know that he's a piece of He's a piece of [ __ ] bro. He's no good.

[00:11:46]>> Talks about your family and stuff?

[00:11:48]>> Yeah, come on.

[00:11:49]>> Yeah, he's a punk, dude.

[00:11:50]>> At the end of the day, people have to remember like for us, this is a job, man.

[00:11:54]>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:11:55]And you know what?

[00:11:57]>> Um Yeah, other channels when he just [ __ ] [ __ ] Yeah, there's some that are >> And I and I and I won't lie, man, I kind of started off that way like, "Fuck you."

[00:12:08]But you know what? I didn't even like seeing myself like that because naturally, I'm not an [ __ ] man. I like having conversations, bro. Like I like I like hanging out with friends and watching UFC fights and you know, I'm just I'm just a regular dude, bro. You know, I have a family. I've been married to my wife for 23 years, raising my kids. My daughters both graduated from high school early, a year early. Like I'm trying to raise a good family. You know, I'm trying to do the right thing and and in reality, I'm not just trying to come down and put you guys down either, you know?

[00:12:35]Um And yeah, man, I try to be respectful. I try to have conversations.

[00:12:40]You know, I found I discovered I discovered by talking to you guys, I can uh find out patterns and stuff like many cops are not really being trained in in our in the Constitution or natural rights, bro. And I think I think that puts you guys in in a dangerous position. It puts us, the people, too, man. And bro, I think uh I think I can uh I've I've been able to teach a lot of cops that. I have cops that are still on the force now reach out to me. I just interviewed Detective Matt Thornton.

[00:13:04]He's still on the force right now. Like he appreciates me. He's actually been watching me since the very beginning.

[00:13:10]He's told me a lot of the things that I've done, you know, well. And we had a we had a really good podcast episode, man.

[00:13:18]And I try to I try to uh I do podcasts. I interview people. I do a lot of stuff, man. And yeah, man.

[00:13:26]>> Pretty cool, man. Yeah, I don't have like a professional podcast studio, which I should by now as long as I've been doing this, you know, but I'm going to I just talked to some folks that that do that very well, and I might bring them in too.

[00:13:38]>> I have my brother-in-law, he actually started a podcast. You know what he uses? He got himself like a travel trailer with like the soundproofing material on it, and then he just does it in there. He actually um he's like interviewed Olympians and stuff like that. His podcast is really going very far, but he he did some pretty cool interviews.

[00:13:57]>> Eventually it might, man. Eventually it might.

[00:14:02]Just keep at it, you know what I mean?

[00:14:04]Just keep working, man.

[00:14:05]>> The grind never stops, man.

[00:14:06]>> That's right, man.

[00:14:08]>> I keep my garage stocked.

[00:14:10]Cool workout [ __ ] man.

[00:14:20]>> I have a good friend out of Florida, man. I got really sick.

[00:14:23]I ended up with like a stage three guard.

[00:14:25]>> Okay.

[00:14:26]>> I've been in the hospital a couple times with diverticulitis, but I've been getting healthy. I've been eating healthy and walking a lot, and feeling better, and you know, when I told my buddy that I was like like I thought I was actually going to die, and I was like, "You know what, man? I think the the the saddest thing that I can't get off my mind is the fact that I really didn't travel. I didn't see the states.

[00:14:44]I didn't get to see the canyons and the waterfalls and all that beautiful stuff, man." And he's like, "You know what, bro?" And he he he's doing pretty well. He's like, "You know what? I'll pay for you to come to Florida and visit me." I did. Went up and down Florida. I fell in love with it.

[00:14:57]Um he paid for me and my family to visit to go with him and his family to Colorado. We went everywhere, bro.

[00:15:02]>> Nice.

[00:15:03]>> It was nice. I fell in love with Colorado, too.

[00:15:06]Um then we went to the concrete jungle, Philly.

[00:15:09]Me and him stood on his birthday where they signed the Constitution because it's kind of what we do, you know? And I'm not going to lie, man. I was I was I was holding my tears in that one. I was like, "Damn, this feels good, man." I was like, it felt good to be there, you know?

[00:15:21]I went to Arizona. I hated Arizona, though.

[00:15:24]>> You know where I saying? really liked it? New Mexico.

[00:15:26]>> New Mexico?

[00:15:27]>> So, I like driving through New Mexico, dude. Especially like in the evening in the summer cuz, man, the the red sand, all the all the rocks and everything. It's just super pretty, dude.

[00:15:38]>> Yeah.

[00:15:39]>> And especially like all the the cactuses and things like that. They just >> Yeah.

[00:15:44]>> I don't know. It's uh Like you I grew up watching all the like Pixar movies and Disney movies.

[00:15:49]>> Right. Right. Right.

[00:15:50]>> Right. And so, places like that in the desert, they always made it look so magical. And then finally becoming an adult and being there it's like, "Oh, man, this looks awesome."

[00:15:58]>> Yeah.

[00:15:59]>> So, I've traveled like down uh Route 66 and stopped at a bunch of, you know, the small little towns there, dude.

[00:16:06]>> That's great. I love it.

[00:16:07]>> Yeah. You So, did you drive pretty much through the 50 the 66?

[00:16:11]>> So, I drove from the 66 from California all the way up to Texas.

[00:16:15]>> Right.

[00:16:15]>> And it's really cuz wasn't the 40 that goes from California to Texas?

[00:16:19]>> Yeah.

[00:16:20]>> Um so, it parallels the the 40 and it's not bad, man. I mean, when I need gas, I just shot over to the 40, got gas real quick.

[00:16:28]>> Yeah.

[00:16:29]>> Cuz I mean, a lot of those small little towns, their gas stations, they're charging like $8 a gallon. It's like, "I'm not going to pay that." But, you know, it's nice, man. Especially cuz so, before this, I actually worked in agriculture.

[00:16:41]So, I'd travel all the time. So, been to like Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas. Dude, I never thought I'd go to Kansas in my life. Kansas.

[00:16:50]>> Did you like it out there, too?

[00:16:51]>> Uh no, dude.

[00:16:54]There's like nothing in Kansas. You just drive around.

[00:16:56]I hate Kansas.

[00:17:00]There's nothing there.

[00:17:03]I have.

[00:17:04]So, I've been to Wichita. You ever been to Wichita, Kansas? It's actually super nice. Um the town is uh I went one day. There's like a tornado warning and then they had like a blizzard warning all on like the same afternoon.

[00:17:19]>> and it stops.

[00:17:28]>> One respectful conversation changed the entire tone of that encounter.

[00:17:33]But not every police interaction [music] ends with mutual understanding.

[00:17:37]Just moments later, another call unfolds. This time involving a shoplifting suspect, [music] an arrest, and a question that could change everything.

[00:17:46]Was justice served, or was there more to the story than meets the eye?

[00:17:52]>> [bell] >> Just out of curiosity, officer, this the amount of the the shoplift, is that sight and release?

[00:18:03]Is it a sight and release for the amount of the shoplift, or is she going to jail?

[00:18:10]He's going to jail. Oh, got you.

[00:18:12]He's going So, So, so I guess uh I think this gentleman actually kind of wanted to go to jail.

[00:18:24]Why would you do that in broad daylight and then just walk down the street?

[00:18:28]>> [laughter] >> Active warrant, so the gentleman has no uh He's going to jail, she said.

[00:18:36]>> doesn't capture a confrontation. [music] Instead, it captures something often more important, access to public information.

[00:18:44]Watch how the auditor [music] requests a case number rather than demanding answers. In many jurisdictions, incident numbers become the starting [music] point for public records act requests or freedom of information requests.

[00:18:56]>> [music] >> Accountability often begins not with an argument, but with documentation.

[00:19:03]>> Would it be possible to get a case number from you or call call number?

[00:19:09]That'd be awesome.

[00:19:11]So, I can do a foyer request.

[00:19:12]>> Okay.

[00:19:13]>> I'll step outside and wait for you.

[00:19:14]>> Okay.

[00:19:15]>> Thank you.

[00:19:18]How you doing, officer?

[00:19:19]>> Doing well, sir. How are you?

[00:19:20]>> Good. Good. Good. Just out of curiosity, name badge number?

[00:19:23]>> Uh 50 count 946.

[00:19:25]>> Nice. Thank you very much.

[00:19:27]>> Absolutely.

[00:19:27]>> I appreciate it.

[00:19:28]>> Absolutely.

[00:19:29]>> Uh so, I'm going to wait for her to give me a call number. That's what I'm doing.

[00:19:32]>> Yes, sir.

[00:19:33]>> Uh a call number. I'm an investigative journalist.

[00:19:41]You're going to be on TV.

[00:19:43]>> No.

[00:19:44]>> [laughter] >> Yeah.

[00:20:14]This deputy is acting very very well well-mannered, behaved, awesome.

[00:20:36]>> Hey, officer, I didn't catch your name earlier.

[00:20:38]>> Just Donald.

[00:20:39]That's all I'll give you.

[00:20:40]>> That's fine.

[00:20:41]>> I'm the I'm the call.

[00:20:42]>> there's a case number and then there's the um the non-emergency dispatch >> Right.

[00:20:45]>> if you want any more information >> No, that's fine. I understand. I know how to file a FOIA request. Uh if you need any footage, I got footage, camera footage.

[00:20:53]Thank you.

[00:20:59]All right, guys. Here's the non-emergency number and uh call number case number call number case number 20 2023 07255 and there's a non-emergency Anderson Sheriff's Department number for any information if you wanted to file for your request over the phone.

[00:21:23]Which I will probably do it later.

[00:21:26]And but the gentleman has shoplifting says anything under 2000's automatic jail.

[00:21:31]And not to mention he had an active warrant for his arrest out of uh doesn't say here where he's from, but this gentleman is going to jail.

[00:21:42]Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

[00:21:47]It sucks to say that, but Boom.

[00:22:16]Sounds looks like they're going to transfer to charge her.

[00:22:31]Well, if he has an active warrant, he's had apparently done something else for a while before.

[00:22:36]So, he's not uh unknown to the the system apparently.

[00:22:48]And I understand everybody makes mistakes, but if you continuously to fall through with the mistakes you're making, there's not re- rehabilitating to society standards. And I don't mean being a cuz everybody does something that's not right. We all make um misjudgment calls and speed a little bit. Yeah, we're all uh and guilty of it a little bit one here and there, but not to the point where you're uh taking from a store.

[00:23:21]That's stealing. I mean, come on.

[00:23:26]We've got s- 7 minutes 10 seconds here on the follow-up.

[00:23:34]They went in, they identified him.

[00:23:37]Took the report.

[00:23:39]The case number, again, is 2023 07255 is the actual call number, CAD number, I guess.

[00:23:56]One before I leave, I do want to try to get the uh the young lady deputy's name.

[00:24:04]The other one identified right off the bat. I didn't quite remember, but I'm sure the camera will.

[00:24:11]Very polite, very uh courteous officers, deputies.

[00:24:58]I can't see it from here, but I'll I'll ask her and I'm sure she won't have a problem with it.

[00:25:04]But I don't want to get too much closer, you know.

[00:25:10]I mean, it looks like he's getting an attitude.

[00:25:16]My cuffs are too tight.

[00:25:53]I guess going to jail for two red That's the two Red Bulls isn't the greatest thing in the world, but I mean, I don't know how much two Red Bulls are, like five bucks, six bucks, seven bucks.

[00:26:07]You're risking going to jail for seven bucks.

[00:26:10]Is that worth it?

[00:26:13]I mean, especially if you have an active warrant for your arrest.

[00:26:27]Holmes, Deputy Holmes.

[00:26:30]I'll get her badge number here in a minute.

[00:26:48]About to run them in.

[00:26:50]He's in.

[00:26:53]There you go.

[00:27:02]Now, they got to book that uh in the evidence.

[00:27:06]Looks like he might have chugged one or two of them.

[00:27:16]If I would have had time to bust out my new gimbal Hey, uh Deputy Holmes, what is your badge number?

[00:27:21]>> raised voice here.

[00:27:22]>> 1404, thank you very much. That's it.

[00:27:24]>> No escalation.

[00:27:25]Yet this brief [music] exchange demonstrates a principle at the heart of public oversight.

[00:27:30]Government employees [music] performing public duties can often be identified and documented by citizens observing from lawful locations.

[00:27:38]The scene feels [music] quiet, but it highlights how transparency frequently works best when both sides remain professional.

[00:27:45]Sometimes the strongest [music] accountability footage is the footage where nothing goes wrong.

[00:27:53]Sorry about bothering you again.

[00:27:55]>> No, you're fine.

[00:27:56]>> Have a great day.

[00:27:58]Thank you.

[00:28:00]Deputy Holmes, 1404, badge number.

[00:28:04]Very polite, courteous.

[00:28:06]>> two very different outcomes, but both reveal the same truth. Accountability begins the moment citizens know their rights.

[00:28:15]In the first encounter, [music] questions led to understanding. In the second, professionalism turned a routine police interaction [music] into an example of transparency done right.

[00:28:25]Different situations, different people, the same lesson.

[00:28:29]Because freedom is not protected [music] by silence, it's protected by informed citizens willing to observe, document, and ask questions.

[00:28:38]If you've ever been asked for ID, [music] stopped by police, or witnessed government overreach, tell us your story in the comments below. [music] And if you're tired of being intimidated authority simply because you don't know the law, subscribe and join [music] thousands of others learning how to protect their rights the right way.

[00:28:54]Remember, you don't need permission to exercise your rights. You need knowledge to protect them.

[00:29:00]This [music] is ID refusal cops, where cameras create accountability, where knowledge defeats intimidation, and where your civil rights remain [music] your strongest defense. We'll see you in the next one.
