This video compilation demonstrates that police authority has constitutional limits when citizens exercise their First Amendment rights, including the right to refuse identification during lawful activities, the right to protest, and the right to access government facilities for legitimate purposes. In three separate encounters from Florida and Indiana, citizens successfully challenged police attempts to enforce unreasonable orders, including running vehicle plates without cause, demanding ID during lawful fishing, and refusing to leave a government building to file complaints. The video illustrates that police cannot criminalize constitutional activities and must have reasonable suspicion or probable cause before taking enforcement action, highlighting the ongoing tension between public accountability and government power.

You are dismissed.
>> And that is how you do it.
>> Oh, you have to have a permit to exercise the constitutional right.
>> You don't get to kick me out when I have business. Okay.
>> Tonight on Tyrant Cop Files, three separate encounters raise the same disturbing question. Where does lawful police authority end? And where do constitutional violations begin? From an armed fisherman challenging reasonable suspicion in Florida to a protester refusing ID during a heated First Amendment dispute to a citizen attempting to file complaints inside a sheriff's office and being told to leave. Each case reveals growing tension between public accountability and government power. These videos are presented for educational and documentary purposes, analyzing issues involving ID refusal, free speech, public access rights, and police interaction under US law.

>> Well, that's legal, is it not?
>> So, let me ask you a question.

>> Got to be fishing. Going to returning from or actively engaged.
>> Requirements for that.
>> What are the requirements?
>> Are there requirements for that?
>> Um be legally lawful to own a possess a firearm.
>> Yep. In November 2022, in Charlotte County, Florida, a fisherman openly carrying a rifle while legally fishing was approached by deputies after a public complaint. What started as a routine police encounter quickly turned into a heated debate over reasonable suspicion, ID refusal, and constitutional rights?
>> So, how do I know you have that ability?
>> What's your reasonable cause of suspicion?
>> Well, you're carrying.
>> Okay. No. What's your That's not Is that a crime? to do. What do you have to do in order to help me carry >> fish?
>> You have to have the ability to do it, right?
>> Correct.
>> So, you're >> what makes you think that I am underage then?
>> Is to instigate.
>> Instigate. No, you cannot turn a rightfully protected activity into a crime.
>> So, >> let's not go down this road, man.
>> For doing this >> because it's my right. And for self-defense.
>> That does that matter?
that that that's irrelevant.
>> So, I'm here to talk to you and I came out and I talked to you professionally.
>> That's fine.
>> And we're having a conversation.
>> Okay. But when you got that call, wait, you're yet to answer my question. When you got that call of someone is out open carrying while fishing, is that illegal in the state of Florida?
>> It is not.
>> So then why are we having this conversation?
>> Are you okay?
>> What's your reasonable cause suspicion to make me think that make you think that I am?
>> You are open carrying. Correct.
>> That's fine. are the requirements for doing so.
>> Be legally able to possess a firearm.
>> Okay.
>> But if you really want to get constitutional, we can go down that rabbit hole. We can go down the rabbit hole of constitutionality.
>> I'm Deputy Joseph. I already introduced myself. What's your name, sir?
>> I'm not going to give that.
>> You can refer to me as good citizen.
>> Good citizen.
>> Yep.
>> Or just a fisherman.
Got to recast that.
I'm going to step a couple steps back so that I don't accidentally whack you.
Then I'll come back so you guys can't so that it doesn't seem like I'm running away or nothing cuz I know y'all recording. I'm recording too.
>> Yep.
So my question to you is you're asking if I'm a convicted felon. You're probably wanting to know my age. What makes you think that I What's your RS for saying that I am a convicted felon?
And what is your RA to think that I am underage? RA reasonable articulable suspicion.
>> So >> I can ask you things. Can I?
>> You can. But do and I do not have to answer. Correct. Right.
>> We're agreeing so far. So far agreeing.
Your name, please. And badge number 3525.
>> 3525. The name. I couldn't hear that.
>> Risano.
>> Yep.
>> Okay.
>> My bad. It's I hear I got the wind. I got these cars.
I'm going to reach for a cigarette very slowly.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I know where I'm stopping on the way home. Get more.
>> What are you going to do with the 50?
depending on size because I know about the um limitations on bringing a fish home >> still.
>> Well, I'm still going to answer accordingly to the regulations of it if it is within um the size that I'm allowed to take with me in my vehicle or walk. However, just going to grab it, gut it, gut it, take it home, eat it.
But if it's too small, throw it back in or just use it as bait.
>> But this one I'm using now. Finger mullet.
>> Well, you have a nice day, good citizen.
>> Thank you.
Dismissed.
You are dismissed.
And that is how you do it. OH, YOU DIRTY [ __ ] ON CAMERA RIGHT THERE. RAM MY plates for what reason? I'D LOVE TO KNOW. OH, DIRTY [ __ ] OH, DIRTY, dirty [ __ ] dirty.
That's it.
This is going to conclude it.
Now I'm returning from fishing. Look at this [ __ ] OH YEAH. SO WHY ARE WE RUNNING MY PLATES? SO WHY ARE WE RUNNING MY PLATES WITH NO CRIME?
SO, let's figure this out.
>> So, uh, why did you come by to run my plates for?
>> You went specifically behind my car, stood there for about at least a good two minutes.
>> That's fine. I'm just asking you a question, public servant. Why did you run my plates?
>> Why did you run my plates?
I have eyes.
>> Did you have a question? that I literally just asked you. Why did you run my plates?
>> Can I do something for you today?
>> What?
>> Can I do something for you today?
>> I just asked. That's my question. So, answer my question.
Why did you run my plates?
>> Why did you run my plates? Because I didn't tell you who I was.
>> Can I do something today?
>> I'm asking. You can answer my question.
>> What can I do for you today?
>> My You can answer my question.
What a [ __ ] dick. So this is who your So this is what we do. THIS IS WHAT WE DO WHEN PEOPLE your boss asks a [ __ ] question. This is WHAT WE DO. I GUESS THIS is what we do, guys.
So that's what you do when the people ask you questions. That's what you do.
>> What can I do to help you today, sir?
>> By answer. You can answer my question.
>> Can I do to help you today?
>> Answer my question.
>> What can I do to help you?
>> That's what you CAN DO TO HELP. YOU can answer my question. Done.
>> Huh? Done. Not >> until my question's answered. That's a negative.
>> Have a nice day.
>> You can answer my question.
>> Have a nice day.

Come on, answer my question. WHY DID YOU RUN MY BLADES?
I'd love to know. WHY WOULD YOU RUN MY PLATES? WHAT?
BEFORE I EVEN GOT IN MY CAR, WHAT MADE YOU THINK THAT THIS WAS MINE IN THE FIRST PLACE? THERE'S THAT, TOO.
SO, we just don't answer questions when the people that pay you ask.
You know, your boss. Yeah, that's me.
The taxpayers, the people.
Okay.
All right. We can do this real simple.
We can do this really simple.
We got his Banana badge number.
ZQ31, car number 2034.
Okay.
And now we can get this one. Car number 1824, plate ZK U28.
Let's give him one more chance, y'all.
Let's give him one more chance.
Are you willing to answer my question now?
>> So, you're not gonna answer my question?
Why not?
>> I do have something else for you to answer.
>> Why can't you answer a simple question?
>> Is there anything else for me to answer?
>> Why can't you answer a question? When you're asked questions, but we the people, we got to answer your questions.
Why can't you answer ours? When we have questions for you, you demand. You want answers from us. Why can't you give us answers?
I'd love to know that there's the double standards.
THAT BADGE IN A GUN does not make you does not make you any more superior to the people.
If anything, you're below the people because you're a public servant. You serve us.
So why can't you answer the QUESTION OF RUNNING MY PLATE?
Under Florida Statute 790.25, open carry while fishing can be lawful.
However, deputies may still investigate whether a person is legally allowed to possess a firearm. The citizen argued officers lacked reasonable articulable suspicion while deputies attempted to verify legal eligibility. From a constitutional audit perspective, the citizen demonstrated strong knowledge of ID refusal rights, though the confrontation became increasingly confrontational. Legally, both sides operated within gray areas of investigative authority. Grade B plus, >> grade C.
Come on, HERE YOU GO. ON MY CREDIT CARD, I will go out and buy you whatever you want.
If you answer my question, I will get you a drink if you answer my question.
>> That's called bribery, by the way.
>> How is that bribery?
>> You said you will buy me whatever I want >> for answering a question. Did I bribe you to get out of a crime?
>> Did I bribe you to get out of a crime?
>> To get information.
>> Information? I have the right to get information. I do I have to pay to get information from public records? SO, IS THAT BRIBERY THEN?
>> You can do any public records request you wish through official channel.
>> Okay. Okay. So, but you your logic by me offering you something a form of payment to get information. Correct?
>> See, no consistent LOGIC. SO, NOW I'M GOING TO ASK you again.
>> What's up?
>> What's going on here, man?
>> What's up?
>> What?
>> Breaking uh city code ordinance.
>> How? I'm protesting.
>> City court ordinance general too.
>> I'm protesting. You can't make a crime out of the First Amendment. What ordinance am I breaking?
>> Okay, you can look at it if you would like. Do you have any identification?
>> Well, what's the ordinance? I need to know the ordinance I'm committing first.
>> 142.
>> And what is that?
>> Do you have any identification?
>> What crime did I commit?
>> In July 2022, in Puna Gorda, Florida, a protester using a bullhorn during a public demonstration was confronted by police over a city noise ordinance. What began as a civil code warning quickly escalated into a heated debate over ID refusal, free speech, and the limits of First Amendment protections.
>> This is a civil. This is civil. This is not criminal. This is civil. Correct.
>> Is it civil or is it criminal?
>> Listen to what he's telling you. You violated city code ordinance 14-2 because of the use of the bullhorn.
Okay? You can stand out here and talk all you want and use your sign, do whatever you want, but you can't use the bullhorn. It's in the statute right here. 14-2. So, he's asking you for an ID. Do you have one or not?
>> I'm I have a question before I present any ID.
Is it a criminal offense or is it a civil offense?
>> Just city code violation.
>> And that's is that civil or criminal?
It's a simple question. Civil.
>> Civil. Thank you. So, it's not criminal.
That means I've not committed a crime.
So, what is your reasonable cost of sufficient for the ID then?
>> Wait, didn't we talk on um when >> No, I've never talked to >> No, not you then. I don't know who it was.
>> So, civil. Okay. It rules that you have to abate it, which means cease it. Okay.
>> Correct.
>> So, if we have to come out here again, you're getting $100 fine. And if you refuse to stop the bullhorn, you will be arrested for obstruction.
>> Obstruction?
>> Yes.
>> But it's protesting. You can't make >> No. CeCe. No. No. They'd be ceasing the orders. We we we respect your protest, right?
>> Clearly not. But when the pro-choicers were out here, you didn't But give them this.
>> That's not true. I was not even here for that.
>> A bunch of y'all's chief was out here.
Davis, I believe.
>> Lewis.
>> How do you know my name?
>> Cuz I know you from two weeks ago when you were here or three.
>> So, I thought we didn't talk though.
>> I didn't talk. But I I I'm I'm paid to know people. Okay. So, I know who you are because we have to address complaints we receive.
>> So, if you know who I am, then why are you asking me for my ID?
>> Cuz I don't know who you are.
>> I don't remember your full name. I just remember somebody's first name. That's it. Okay. We respect your ability to protest. Clearly, >> we respect your sign. We respect that.
>> Okay. The the thing is when we get a complaint and the use of the bullhorn and then we witnessed it, we had to do it.
>> The pro-choices were out here two weeks ago with bullhorns.
>> I can't address that, sir.
>> Oh, but you won't give them a noise ordinance when they were making a crap ton of noise. But I have to get addressed.
>> Well, do you understand the 142?
>> Well, why didn't So, this is malicious.
This is malicious.
>> Lewis, look Google City or ordinances.
Look that up and you'll see it.
>> It's clearly unconstitutional and con.
Do you have an ID on you or not?
>> What's the crime I committed?
>> What crime did I commit?
>> You do not have an ID on you.
>> I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth. What crime did I commit?
>> Provide an ID.
>> What crime did I commit? Answer me what crime I committed and I'll present an ID. If I if you can say at Florida statute that I have violated, which is a crime, you have violated.
>> It's civil. That's civil. Correct, >> Louis. Okay. So is speeding. Okay.
>> That's that's that's a tra that's traffic is different from civil. Louis, they're both civil. Okay. All right. All right. We're done. Okay. You understand that the bullhorn is no longer allowed use. Okay. If you want to fight it, fight it in the code board. Okay. Once >> Oh, the kangaroo court, right?
>> It's up to you. All right. Have a good day. Confirm.
>> Nope. Cuz I didn't commit any crime.
>> Have a good day.
>> Committed no crime.
>> Hey, talk to your buddy. I'm sorry. Talk to you. Okay. And he can wait and I'll address him.
>> Lewis. Lewis, we agree with good discord. Okay.
>> Clearly not. I have the right to protest.
>> Can you just listen to me? Okay. This has nothing to do with your sign or your your ability to protest.
>> Clearly, it does cuz I'm using this as an instrument of protesting. True or not true?
>> Police cited Puna Gorda city ordinance 142 regarding amplified noise restrictions. Under First Amendment law, governments may impose limited time, place, and manner restrictions on speech if applied equally. The protester argued the ordinance was selectively enforced and unconstitutional when used against protest activity. Officers maintained they were enforcing a civil code violation, not a criminal statute. From an audit perspective, the citizens strongly challenged the ID request, while officers attempted compliance through ordinance enforcement rather than criminal detention. Citizen grade B+. Officer's grade C++.
>> No.
>> Am I? So, I'm not using this for protest. I'm not using this to get my message. Right.
>> Okay. Unless you get a permit from the city for that.
>> So, I have to have a permit to exercise the constitutional right.
>> No. To use a blowhorn to disrupt other people.
>> It's a protest. You cannot make a crime out of the first amendment.
>> I'm not. It's a good one to take it to the board.
>> I will be taking it to the board.
>> Okay.
>> [ __ ] pigs.
>> You have a good day. You need my wallet.
office.
>> Yeah.
>> Excuse me, sir. Sir, what's your name and badge number?
>> Best thing you do is get out of my face.
>> What's your name and badge number?
>> I'm telling you, get out of my face.
>> Do you have to identify when ask?
>> I need You don't have to identify.
>> What do you What can I help you with?
>> What's his name and badge number?
>> I'll tell you my name. My name's Captain Moy, the service department. I have to help you.
>> Captain Moy.
>> I was trying to get his name and badge number.
In August 2020, inside the Clark County Sheriff's Office in Jeffersonville, Indiana, a citizen attempting to file complaints against multiple officers found himself in another confrontation with law enforcement. What began as a request for accountability quickly turned into a dispute over public access, officer professionalism, and the complaint process itself.
>> I'm going to file a complaint.
>> Well, if you didn't need to do that, we can work that somehow. else.
>> We can sit down somewhere and talk about what the question >> Sure. Sure.
>> Thank you, sir.
>> Give me a second.
>> What up? Is this what you're talking about?
>> Hello. How we doing?
>> Good. Trying to get something filed before the end of the day.
>> Okay. Just >> And do you know that officer's name by any chance?
>> She's in the car. I didn't know who you were working, so I didn't bring her up.
>> That is That's Officer Grant.
>> Officer Cra.
>> Grant.
>> Grant.
>> Yeah.
>> G R A N T.
>> Common spelling. Yes. Thank you, sir.
>> That's what I wanted to know. But yeah, the the complaint is against his behavior. I don't want you to confuse it with the officers not getting information cuz I can still go to the clerk and I still got video of me getting the information that I needed ultimately.
>> So, I wasn't holding it against them for not knowing, >> but I did want to bring a complaint against that one specific officer grant because you cannot speak to the public that way. We are citizens and he took that job to serve. And if he's grouchy or grumpy, he needs to go home.
>> Well, and that also goes for the civilians. Okay? You guys, you can't come in and be rude to officers. Be polite.
>> You say I was rude.
>> In the video, I was rude.
>> I'm just saying you want to put all the blame on officers.
>> But you do have you do have to keep yourself polite and uh reasonable.
>> So, Colonel Meyer, you saw the video and you're saying that I was rude in the video. Well, you were you were crowded his face. They're six feet. You got to keep >> my legs like my >> I backed up when he said it and then he said it twice. I was in an appropriate distance at that point.
>> I was the one in the accident, >> you know, and you got a camera in people's face. You intimidating.
>> It wasn't in his face.
>> That's intimidating right there. You're talking I have no control over his feelings.
>> But you got to understand it's my right, >> right? Okay.
>> You can have a gun and that may intim, you know, intimidate me. You have a job.
You have a job and you have a job and as an American citizen, you have a right.
>> So just because people are scared doesn't mean that you have to >> What do you mean a right? What are you talking about?
>> I as a citizen have a right to carry my weapon. And if a cit another citizen is afraid of that, their feelings >> just that like officer Grant was afraid that I had a camera, >> but it's shown on my >> Those are feelings and he's an officer so he needs to suppress that.
>> You're saying your feelings that you didn't like how he acted. But >> as a citizen, >> everybody's got their own feelings. I think you're misunderstanding the principle.
>> It's fine. You do have my information.
>> Then do you need anything else from me?
>> No, I do not.
>> When uh what's the time frame on this kind of stuff?
>> I don't have a time frame.
>> When should I be expecting an email?
>> Hopefully soon, but we're dealing with a lot of situations. You can understand the way.
>> Do you think it'll be longer than four weeks?
>> Shouldn't be.
>> Okay. Right. That's >> okay.
>> Okay.
>> Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
>> Yeah.
>> I wanted to uh just follow up with you regarding the uh complaint on Officer Grant.
>> Okay.
>> I was just looking for You told me you'd reach out to me on email.
>> Okay. Yeah, I've spoke to him >> July 27th.
>> Yeah, I've spoke to him. or I mean it's incident it's finished with me as far as I'm concerned.
>> Do you know what um I guess what what what took place >> with what >> with him?
>> I just I spoke to him about it. I got his side of it. I've got your side of it. There's nothing to do with it.
>> So did you >> The findings are >> they're unfounded. They're they're fine.
So >> you felt that he was not disrespectful with the public on that day on that video?
>> No.
>> Okay. Um, I also wanted to file a couple other complaints. Can I do that with you now?
>> No.
>> Do you know who I can file that with?
>> Well, who are their complaints on?
>> Well, it's on several of your CL County officers >> for what?
>> Uh, well, can I file them with you or should I file them with someone else?
>> I don't know what your complaints are.
>> I can file them with you?
>> I don't know what your complaints are.
You've been over here. You've asked to leave at the courthouse.
>> I have complaints against >> You keep coming back for no reason. You don't have business here.
>> I do, actually. I have uh complaints against um Officer Hardy, um yourself, Colonel Meyer, uh Officer Maples, Scotty Maples, and Officer Snelling.
>> Okay.
>> So, can I take those complaints with you and file them or do I have to take them with someone else?
>> Somebody else. You can leave for today.
>> Do you know who I can speak with?
>> You can leave. Let's go, >> sir. I'm here to take care of business.
You can't deny >> I was there. There's no complaints, sir.
You were here. You didn't have complaints right here. You didn't have business here and you were asked to leave and you caused a problem. You didn't have business here.
>> Under the First Amendment, citizens generally have the right to record public officials performing duties in publicly accessible areas. Complaint procedures inside government buildings must also remain reasonably accessible to the public. Officers argued the citizen was disrupting operations and repeatedly returning without legitimate business. While the citizen maintained he was attempting to file formal complaints and request accountability.
From an audit perspective, the interaction highlights the ongoing tension between public oversight and government control of administrative spaces. Citizen grade B officer grade C plus.
>> Sir, calm down.
>> You've been told where to go about your your dealings.
>> Okay. You have an issue with Jeff City?
>> No. No, sir. No, sir. You're you're saying whatever you want, but >> you can leave.
>> Is Sheriff Novail available here?
>> Is Sheriff Nov available?
>> No, he is not available.
>> Is he here?
>> He is not available. I just told you. I gave you an answer. You need to leave.
>> You don't get to kick me out when I have business. Okay.
>> These three encounters highlight one recurring issue in modern First Amendment audit culture. When citizens question authority, how far can police legally go before crossing constitutional boundaries? Whether it involved ID refusal, protest rights, or public complaint access, each interaction raised difficult questions about accountability, professionalism, and the balance between enforcement and civil liberties. Now, we want to hear from you. Did the officers act within the law? Did the citizens push too far?
Which encounter do you believe crossed the line first? Leave your analysis in the comments below. Your perspective could be featured in a future episode of Tyron Cop Files. And don't leave yet.
The next video linked on screen may be even more intense. Another real world confrontation involving constitutional rights, police authority, and public accountability you do not want to miss.
