Female Officer’s Ego DESTROYED After Citizen Knows His Rights | Public Audit Showdown

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:05]Look at them blocking the path.

[00:00:13]>> Sir, you can't be recording the prison.

[00:00:15]>> Sure, I can.

[00:00:16]>> No, you can't.

[00:00:16]>> Why can't I?

[00:00:18]>> Put your camera down and keep it moving.

[00:00:21]>> Why can't I?

[00:00:21]>> You can't record your prison, sir.

[00:00:23]>> Why can't I?

[00:00:23]>> It's a security risk.

[00:00:25]>> Okay. Well, you see this is a public area. You can't record your prison.

[00:00:29]>> Okay.

[00:00:31]Pretty sure I can under the first amendment.

[00:00:34]>> You can't record them.

[00:00:36]>> Yes, I can.

[00:00:38]>> State and they're not willing to pay for it.

[00:00:40]>> Doesn't matter. They're in public right now. So are you. What's your name and badge number?

[00:00:44]>> They are not in public.

[00:00:44]>> What's your name? Yes, they are. You see how this is all public and you have to >> Yes, I can. You see? You see? Doesn't matter. You see? Yes, it does.

[00:00:56]>> How do I know you're not out here? Hey.

[00:00:57]Hey.

[00:00:58]>> What starts as a simple recording on a public sidewalk quickly turns into a constitutional showdown. The cameraman stands calmly outside a prison facility when officers immediately approach with commands instead of questions. You can't record here, they claim, despite standing on public property funded by taxpayers. But the man behind the camera knows the law better than they expect.

[00:01:23]He reminds them that the First Amendment protects the right to record anything visible from a publicly accessible area.

[00:01:30]Instead of respecting that right, the officers double down, try to intimidate him through authority rather than legality. From the very beginning, this encounter exposes a dangerous mindset.

[00:01:43]Officers acting as though public spaces belong to them instead of the people.

[00:01:47]>> Doesn't matter what I'm recording or not. It's a constitutionally protected activity. What's your name and badge number again for the second time?

[00:01:54]>> Well, >> badge number.

[00:01:56]>> We don't have badge number >> yours, sir.

[00:01:59]>> It's on there.

[00:02:00]>> I can't read the camera.

[00:02:02]>> So, >> so you're refusing to identify yourself verbally.

[00:02:05]>> And what is what is your name?

[00:02:06]>> You're refusing to identify yourself verbally.

[00:02:08]>> Name is here.

[00:02:09]>> Oh, okay. So, it's here. Your name is here.

[00:02:13]>> I didn't give my name.

[00:02:13]>> Do you have any weapons on you?

[00:02:15]>> Of course I do. Of course I do.

[00:02:16]>> Okay.

[00:02:17]>> It's a constitutional. I'm allowed to. I can carry >> your license. No, you cannot.

[00:02:21]>> Okay. So, you have a weapon on you >> in a public area.

[00:02:24]>> You're recording. I don't know if you're >> both constitutionally. Yes, you do.

[00:02:28]>> How am I supposed to know?

[00:02:30]>> What crime did I >> So, what is your reasonable article suspicion of a crime has been committed being committed or going to be committed?

[00:02:37]>> No, it's not.

[00:02:38]>> You either need to leave.

[00:02:39]>> No, I don't.

[00:02:39]>> Yes, you do.

[00:02:40]>> No, I don't. Why do I need to leave?

[00:02:41]>> Let me see your ID.

[00:02:42]>> No, you can't see my ID.

[00:02:44]>> Weapon on you. I need to see your >> No, you don't. What is the legislation or law that says you need to see my identification? What crime? What crime?

[00:02:51]>> If I can see that >> I know. Look at them blocking this.

[00:02:54]Right.

[00:02:54]>> If I can see that, that's not a concealed carry. And I guarantee you're not open carry.

[00:03:01]>> Okay. Why don't you take the Delaware state code on that? Go ahead.

[00:03:05]>> As the conversation escalates, the officers begin demanding identification and questioning why he's filming. The cameraman remains composed, refusing unlawful orders while calmly asking a critical question every citizen should know. What crime do you suspect me of committing? That question changes everything. Suddenly, the officers stumble over their words, unable to provide reasonable, articulable suspicion. Instead, they rely on vague claims about security risks and suspicious behavior. But suspicion alone isn't a crime. and recording government activity in public is protected speech.

[00:03:44]The cameraman's calm confidence slowly dismantles the authority they attempted to project. Every answer he gives becomes a reminder that constitutional rights do not disappear simply because an officer feels uncomfortable >> because well, for one, I don't answer questions.

[00:04:02]>> That's odd that you're recording them.

[00:04:03]No, it's >> not some kind of >> So, you're just assuming that it was recording who by chance?

[00:04:10]You were recording the vendors.

[00:04:12]>> Oh, I am. Huh? So, >> so you're now in my mind behind.

[00:04:17]>> How do you know?

[00:04:18]>> You don't know.

[00:04:19]>> You were facing this way. Pulled >> up.

[00:04:21]>> So, actually, I was facing you.

[00:04:23]>> We're facing the prison.

[00:04:24]>> Actually, I was facing you. I have you on camera blocking this publicly accessible sidewalk right now, which we can.

[00:04:30]>> Really?

[00:04:31]>> Yeah. If we're if we're out here doing state business, we can.

[00:04:35]>> Okay. Sure you can. Sure.

[00:04:37]>> We can. When it comes to offenders, then it becomes our uh jurisdiction >> to protect them is uh part of our job.

[00:04:45]And we don't know what your intentions are with them. When you have a weapon on you and you're recording, >> doesn't matter. This is a public sidewalk. This is this is a constitutionally protected activity under the first amendment and the second amendment.

[00:04:57]>> You're not supposed to know anything.

[00:04:58]What's your rat right now?

[00:05:00]>> Responsibility. Then go protect them right now.

[00:05:03]>> I am. You clearly are off >> standing out here with a weapon staring at the inmates. Obviously, that's an issue.

[00:05:11]>> I I don't know where that's not connecting.

[00:05:13]>> So, you're just putting presumptions in your mind there and just assuming that I'm doing things. Yes, you are.

[00:05:18]>> And you're hostile.

[00:05:19]>> No, I'm not. For one, you do not know the Constitution, nor do you not understand the Delaware State Code.

[00:05:24]What's the Delaware state code then on open carry?

[00:05:26]>> It's none of your business.

[00:05:28]>> Oh, it is my business. No, you don't need mine. Then the issue shifts to open carry. One officer notices the firearm and immediately treats it as justification for demanding ID. But once again, the cameraman pushes back with knowledge instead of aggression. He explains that Delaware law permits open carry and that exercising a constitutional right does not automatically create suspicion of criminal activity. The officers appear frustrated, repeatedly insisting they need identification while failing to cite any actual law requiring it. What unfolds is a powerful example of how many citizens are pressured into surrendering rights simply because authority demands compliance. Yet here, the cameraman refuses to fold calmly and repeatedly. He forces them to confront the limits of their own power.

[00:06:22]>> Sergeant Pal.

[00:06:22]>> Thank you, Sergeant Pal. that and you're being hostile. My job is to protect the inmates.

[00:06:27]>> No, ma'am. I'm not being hostile. I'm trying to educate you because you're trying to give me an unlawful directive >> and open looking at them. That's >> So, as I said, why don't you go look up the Delaware State Code on open carry?

[00:06:38]>> I don't need to.

[00:06:38]>> Yes, you do. Because you're clearly ignorant to the what the Delaware Code is.

[00:06:42]>> You are threatening, >> sir. Excuse me, Sergeant Pal. Do you know what the Delaware State Code is on open carry by chance?

[00:06:48]>> I just hope I'm not going to answer it.

[00:06:51]>> Okay. Well, the Delaware state code allows me to open carry both my sidearm and a long rifle if I so choose to.

[00:06:57]>> As per the state code is >> doesn't matter what your issue is, ma'am, on a publicly doesn't matter what your security is. You need to protect the security by creating the privacy.

[00:07:07]This is a publicly accessible area with a clear public sidewalk and a fence that is open to the public to view into. This is a constitutionally protected activity under the first amendment and the second amendment. And you are trying to derive my rights under deprivation of law.

[00:07:22]>> I'm not >> or deprivation. Yes, you are.

[00:07:25]>> But I'm not under.

[00:07:26]>> You're trying to ask for my identification, which is unlawful directive because you are assuming things. What is your reasonable articul articulable suspicion that a crime has been committed, is being committed, or is going to be committed >> that you're out here recording a prison.

[00:07:39]>> So recording.

[00:07:41]>> So recording is so recording is a >> As more officers gather, the tension increases. The sidewalk becomes crowded with uniforms trying to control a situation they no longer fully understand. One officer insists the cameraman is creating a threat simply by recording near inmates, while another claims they are protecting security. But the cameraman turns their logic against them, pointing out that if privacy truly mattered, the facility should create barriers instead of blaming citizens for what can already be seen from public view. It's a devastatingly simple argument, and the officers struggle to answer it. The more they talk, the clearer it becomes that this encounter is no longer about safety. It's about control, ego, and an unwillingness to admit they may be wrong.

[00:08:30]>> Do you know what the Constitution is?

[00:08:32]The First Amendment is my press pass when they come.

[00:08:34]>> Sure, cuz they'll know the law a little bit better than you do, >> especially on open carry. End of the day.

[00:08:40]>> At the end of the day, this is >> I am here to protect. It >> doesn't matter why you're here. You need to create the privacy.

[00:08:46]>> No.

[00:08:46]>> Yes.

[00:08:47]>> And I am. This is the privacy.

[00:08:49]>> No, it's not. This is a public sidewalk as you already stated twice on film.

[00:08:55]>> Facility.

[00:08:56]>> Doesn't matter. I can go over here and record everything I want from a publicly accessible area.

[00:09:01]>> That doesn't mean I'm not going to ask you questions about it when it comes to their safety.

[00:09:04]>> Doesn't matter.

[00:09:05]>> You're standing out here with a firearm.

[00:09:10]So, it doesn't matter. That's all constitutionally protected.

[00:09:12]>> No, it's not.

[00:09:13]>> Yes. No, it's not.

[00:09:15]>> Are you kidding me? Safety >> is my concern.

[00:09:18]>> Okay. You just opened yourself up to a lawsuit, Corporal Wells. You just said my constitutional right. Okay. Okay.

[00:09:24]It's all recorded.

[00:09:25]>> Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am.

[00:09:32]>> I just dealt with Virginia. They just tried to do the same thing. Now they're opening up for a lawsuit with the lieutenant colonel as well. You're going to face the same thing, darling.

[00:09:41]>> When the sergeant arrives, the dynamic changes slightly, but the same flawed reasoning continues. The sergeant repeats claims about safety concerns and potential threats, suggesting the cameraman could be attempting to help inmates escape simply because he's recording. The accusation sounds absurd, and the cameraman immediately dismantles it. He explains that recording is protected under the First Amendment and that freedom of the press does not require governmentissued credentials. In America, anyone with a camera documenting public officials can act as press. That reminder hits hard because it exposes a truth many officials dislike. Accountability no longer depends on traditional media. Ordinary citizens now hold cameras powerful enough to challenge authority in real time. the Delaware state code for one.

[00:10:33]>> Sir, you need to not threaten my presence.

[00:10:37]>> Oh, okay. I'm real threatening out here.

[00:10:41]>> Yes, you are.

[00:10:47]Have your name and badge number, please.

[00:10:52]>> Off the grass state property. Not >> off the grass state property.

[00:10:57]>> Off the grass.

[00:10:58]>> Do you know what a public easement is?

[00:10:59]off the grass. State property.

[00:11:01]>> State property is public property, sir.

[00:11:03]>> No, it's not.

[00:11:03]>> Yes, it is.

[00:11:04]>> It's not.

[00:11:04]>> Yes, it is.

[00:11:05]>> Clearly states up there, no trespassing on state property.

[00:11:08]>> State property.

[00:11:09]>> Report the sign if you have something.

[00:11:10]Oh, I have. So, you seen it says state property. No trust.

[00:11:13]>> That's public property.

[00:11:14]>> No, it's not.

[00:11:14]>> Yes, it is. Excuse me. You're in my way.

[00:11:18]>> Excuse me, officer. You're in my way.

[00:11:22]I don't feel comfortable with you on my left side. Excuse me.

[00:11:25]>> I don't feel comfortable with you trying to intimidate me. weapon on your side.

[00:11:30]>> I'd rather you face my >> As the confrontation drags on, frustration begins showing on both sides. Officers block portions of the sidewalk while claiming the cameraman is the problem. Pedestrians passing through witness the confusion firsthand as the cameraman calmly points out the contradiction. "This is public property," he reminds him again and again. One officer argues that state property isn't public property. Despite standing beside signs proving otherwise, the encounter becomes less about law enforcement and more about a struggle to maintain authority after losing the legal argument. Every failed explanation chips away at the credibility of the officers involved. While the cameraman's steady tone continues, exposing the weakness behind their commands.

[00:12:22]Y'all can come through. They're just trying to do stuff illegally. Go ahead.

[00:12:25]It's open to the public. Y'all can come through. They're just trying to illegally do stuff.

[00:12:34]>> So, y'all are trying to close a public sidewalk now. Unbelievable.

[00:12:41]>> Yeah, y'all can go through. They're just trying to close it for no reason.

[00:12:44]>> See, they have it there. You see, they have their vehicles blocking it. It's >> We will see. We will leave you to your death.

[00:12:50]>> Have a wonderful day.

[00:12:53]>> Shouldn't block the sidewalk like that.

[00:12:55]>> You shouldn't be open carrying without showing the uh >> Doesn't matter. You should learn the Delaware state code plus the constitution. What does this say? What does this say?

[00:13:02]>> And you shouldn't be property.

[00:13:05]>> What does this say exactly? You're too ignorant and arrogant to read it.

[00:13:10][laughter] >> Yeah. Look at you.

[00:13:12]>> Yeah. Look at you.

[00:13:13]>> I know the Constitution and I know my rights. Look at you. Look at this guy.

[00:13:18]Oh my god. Look, he's twitching and everything. He's trying. He's so riled up, guys.

[00:13:22]>> Nobody's riled up.

[00:13:24]>> I can see it in your face, man.

[00:13:25]>> You're right. It's coming.

[00:13:29]>> Eventually, the officers begin retreating from direct confrontation, but not before revealing their frustration. Sarcasm replaces confidence. Dismissive comments replace legal explanations. Yet, the cameraman remains focused on the larger issue, accountability. He explains that encounters like this are exactly why recording matters. Cameras preserve evidence, expose misconduct, and educate the public about constitutional rights.

[00:13:58]Without footage, these moments would simply become one person's word against another. But with the camera rolling, every contradiction, every unlawful demand, and every attempt at intimidation becomes part of the public record. The officers may still wear the badge, but the camera has shifted the balance of power.

[00:14:23]>> Excuse me. I would like to walk through again. Thank you.

[00:14:31]Look at this. Is unbelievable.

[00:14:36]Don't know the code. Don't know the constitution. Especially this one right here. This fat little piggy right here.

[00:14:44]>> Yes, ma'am. I'm referring to you, >> sir. I don't think you understand.

[00:14:48]>> Look. Look. She's even responding.

[00:14:56]>> Ma'am, I understand everything I need to. I understand my rights and the rights that you are trying to infringe upon me.

[00:15:09]>> Hello.

[00:15:10]Oh, I love you, [ __ ] >> Have a great day.

[00:15:22]>> Well, did you have a nice Easter at least?

[00:15:26]Can I ask you that?

[00:15:28]>> All right, fine.

[00:15:32]>> Outside of pool.

[00:15:36]In the final moments, the encounter transforms into something bigger than one man filming a prison. It becomes a lesson about freedom itself. The cameraman reminds viewers that rights only survive when people are willing to exercise them. The Constitution means nothing if citizens surrender those protections out of fear or intimidation.

[00:15:58]Throughout the encounter, he never raised a hand, never threatened violence, and never broke the law. His only weapon was knowledge, and that proves stronger than authority built on ignorance. By the end, the officers walk away visibly frustrated, while the cameraman leaves with something far more important. Proof that standing firm on constitutional rights can expose the cracks in unchecked
