Added: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]What do you know? Who do you know this guy as?

[00:00:01]>> I'm not answering your questions.

[00:00:03]>> Okay. Well, have a seat for me.

[00:00:04]>> I'm going to stand right here.

[00:00:05]>> Sir, you need to have a seat. I'm not >> You can't make me sit down.

[00:00:08]>> Yes, sir. You're being detained investigation we're conducting. Have a seat, sir.

[00:00:14]>> Last time. I'm going to give you a law to sit down on the ground. After that, if you don't sit down, I'm going to make you sit down. You'll be placed under arrest.

[00:00:20]>> I'm being placed under arrest.

[00:00:21]>> You will be if you do not sit down right now.

[00:00:23]>> How do I talk to an attorney?

[00:00:24]>> Sir, last time. Sit down now or you're going to be arrested for interviewing a police officer. Police stopped a man and his friend under the vague claim that they matched the description of a suspect, yet failed to provide any clear evidence or legal justification for the detention. When the man calmly asked for the officer's names, badge numbers, and questioned the legal basis for the stop, the officers began avoiding direct answers while pressuring them to cooperate. The situation escalated further when one officer issued a highly questionable lawful order, threatened arrest, and even warned that their recording phone could be damaged if they did not comply. But instead of backing down, the two men continued asserting their right to remain silent, demanded an attorney, and exposed the growing weaknesses in the officer's story. In the end, unable to connect them to any crime or justify the detention, the officers were forced to release them and quickly leave the scene. How >> about I get your name?

[00:01:15]>> No. How about I get your name and badge number? Can I get a name and badge number? That's not being cooperative.

[00:01:19]Like, you uh kind of work for us. We pay our taxes.

[00:01:22]>> That's so >> That's so Well, you don't know that.

[00:01:24]>> I'm trying to work for you.

[00:01:25]>> You're trying to work for me to happen.

[00:01:27]You should go be busting criminals then.

[00:01:28]>> Hey, what's your name, sir? Faster you give to me is the faster we go.

[00:01:31]>> Doesn't matter. I'm not giving you my name. I don't have to. I didn't do anything wrong. What's your name and badge number? Still haven't told me.

[00:01:36]>> That means you rather not talk. I want to talk to you real quick.

[00:01:39]>> I'm not your names or anything.

[00:01:40]>> That's fine. I just want to talk to you.

[00:01:41]It'll take one minute.

[00:01:42]>> Don't talk to him.

[00:01:43]>> I'd appreciate it.

[00:01:44]>> Nothing, dude. You didn't do nothing wrong.

[00:01:46]>> You pulled us overain.

[00:01:47]>> I I'll explain everything to you, but if you not walk, >> there's nothing to explain.

[00:01:50]>> I understand, but there's nothing I can do about it.

[00:01:52]>> That's fine. That's why I want to talk to you in private. I'll take one minute.

[00:01:55]All right. We're not He's not in trouble. We're going to talk to him.

[00:01:59]>> We're in the middle of investigation and it's kind of a serious crime. So, >> he fits the description of someone.

[00:02:05]>> He said I did.

[00:02:07]>> Well, both of you guys kind of do. No offense.

[00:02:09]>> We fit the description of one person.

[00:02:11]>> Well, so we're looking at your clothing and stuff like that. And you do? Yeah.

[00:02:15]But >> we're not even wearing clothes that look alike.

[00:02:17]>> But it's it's our job to just make contact just so we don't miss anything, right?

[00:02:21]>> Did you hear anything about what happened tonight? I didn't hear anything except for what you guys were telling me.

[00:02:26]>> What do you know so far?

[00:02:28]>> Nothing. That there was a heinous crime committed and we fit the description. He followed behind us long enough. He could have pulled us over like when he got behind us.

[00:02:34]>> Well, he was just trying to make sure he had his dick line in the road before he stopped you. I fall.

[00:02:38]>> He wouldn't even identify himself as a public servant to me or give me any ID saying he is who he is or whatever. Like I didn't do nothing. Whatever. Can I just chill over here? Of >> course I do. Have you asked your favorite yet?

[00:02:51]>> Yeah. And I refuse the >> I did refuse. He said I'm being detained and I said for what? And you didn't tell me.

[00:02:57]>> So what what can I do for you to >> maybe figure out that we're not the people? Like obviously we're not. If he's not, I'm not like >> in order for us to move on to keep looking and stuff like that. We have to identify you guys and then that's it.

[00:03:09]That's basically it. So I'm not sure why you're making this harder than it needs to be. But >> because I didn't do anything wrong. It's I'm hungry and it's like they're going to close.

[00:03:16]>> I totally get that and there's a lot of people >> and it's already harder than it has to be. Why is he still trying to get him to incriminate himself? Nobody's done nothing. Where's >> He's not He's not doing that. I don't know why you're assuming that, but he's literally just asking questions and then we can move on. It's weird for us that you guys are >> know my rights.

[00:03:34]>> So, I'm so so uncooperative.

[00:03:35]>> So, I'm not I'm not cooperating. I'm just I know my rights and I didn't do anything wrong. You pulled me over for no reason. Detained me for no reason.

[00:03:42]>> But that doesn't mean that you did anything wrong.

[00:03:44]>> What's that?

[00:03:44]>> That doesn't mean that you did anything wrong.

[00:03:45]>> No, I didn't do anything wrong.

[00:03:46]>> Right. So, when we detain people, that doesn't mean that you're guilty of something. So while you're assuming that we're not >> I just don't know why I'm being detained.

[00:03:55]>> We just told you >> that somebody committed a heinous crime and >> someone just got shot >> and me and him match the description of this person, >> right? And so our jobs as police officers is just to identify you and then move on.
