[00:00:00]You've been asked to leave. Continue out. I'm waiting on mine. Continue out.

[00:00:06]>> say what I want. You can't touch me. I'm not going to touch you. Just Well, SHUT YOUR ASS UP. IT DON'T TAKE ALL Y'ALL.

[00:00:12]FOR It really didn't have to END LIKE THIS.

[00:00:21]I'M NOT.

[00:00:22]COME AT ME AGAIN AND FIND OUT. YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO JAIL.

[00:00:24]>> [screaming] >> ON THE 22ND OF JUNE 2025, Tampa Police Department officers responded [music] to Adventure Island Water Park for a report of an unruly guest suspected of entering without a valid ticket. The interaction raises three legal questions. The scope of private property trespass authority, [music] the First Amendment boundary on hostile speech, and the threshold for disorderly conduct under Florida law. Under Florida Statute [music] Section 810.09, a property owner may exclude any individual from private property without stating cause, provided the exclusion is not discriminatorily applied based on a protected classification. Adventure Island holds full trespass authority, regardless of [music] whether the underlying suspicion was accurate. The subject's ticket dispute is legally irrelevant to the trespass proceeding itself.

[00:01:21]Help. You want my ticket? Are you the supervisor of everything? Who's my supervisor? I'm I'm here.

[00:01:27]There's nobody else I can talk to besides you. I got it. Okay. That's fine. Do you have an idea what your name is?

[00:01:33]It's right here. Let me go get my stuff.

[00:01:35]I don't need all y'all following me.

[00:01:38]Okay. We're going to Don't follow me, [ __ ] Don't follow me.

[00:01:42]Yeah, I don't know about all all y'all.

[00:01:52]Hey, unit 101, you have a question for security for the 4 hours and that rapid How old is the rabbit?

[00:02:07]Ma'am, can I see your ID?

[00:02:13]I know. I think it's the same hair that we're You got your ticket Ma'am, can I see your ID? They got A COPY OF IT UP THERE. I'm going to go. Come on. Let's go.

[00:02:24]Get your stuff.

[00:02:31]Come on.

[00:02:32]Ma'am, can I have your ID? No.

[00:02:34]What you talking about? For what?

[00:02:35]Because you're being trespassed from the park.

[00:02:44]Go. Don't get Bobby. DON'T GET BOBBY.

[00:02:47]They better not Don't touch MY KID.

[00:02:50]OH, Y'ALL GOING TO JAIL Y'ALL TOUCH ME.

[00:02:52]For real, don't do that.

[00:02:55]She's being trespassed, let her go.

[00:02:59]I can talk.

[00:03:01]You can talk your way straight out like you already did.

[00:03:03]>> I CAN TALK.

[00:03:07]THAT MAN ASKED ME A QUESTION. I CAN TALK.

[00:03:10]MISTAKE AND MAD THAT WE CUSS Y'ALL THE NOPE. SHE MADE THE MISTAKE UP THERE.

[00:03:14]SHUT I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY.

[00:03:17]I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY RIGHT NOW.

[00:03:19]CUZ SHE MADE THE MISTAKE.

[00:03:23]I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT. YEP.

[00:03:27]The subject's sustained profanity raises whether that conduct constitutes criminal disorderly conduct under Florida statute section 877.03, which requires an overt act, not speech alone. In City of Houston versus Hill, 1987, the Supreme Court struck down an ordinance criminalizing verbal challenges to police, holding the First Amendment protects individuals who confront or insult law enforcement even in profane terms. Cohen versus California, 1971, further established that offensive public language is constitutionally protected absent a captive audience, a true threat, or direct incitement. The subject's language here falls within that protection. The subject's conditional physical statements approach the category of threats. Under Virginia versus Black, 2003, a true threat requires a communicated serious intent to commit violence, not a conditional warning. That threshold was not met here. Officers were legally authorized to escalate to physical control had the subject's conduct crossed into assault under Florida Statute Section 784.011, defined as an intentional threat to do violence with apparent ability to carry it out. That threshold was not reached.

[00:04:53]You can say what you want as you walk out.

[00:04:58]So, keep going.

[00:05:02]KEEP GOING.

[00:05:06]KEEP GOING.

[00:05:08]KEEP GOING.

[00:05:11]KEEP UP.

[00:05:18]Keep up.

[00:05:23]Nobody's asking for your respect.

[00:05:28]Continue to the exit.

[00:05:30]NOBODY HAS TOUCHED YOU.

[00:05:32]YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHEN I PUT hands on you.

[00:05:34]Keep going.

[00:05:36]It will be very clear.

[00:05:39]She's being escorted from the park.

[00:05:40]Continue to the exit. CONTINUE TO CONTINUE TO THE EXIT.

[00:05:45]CONTINUE TO THE EXIT. TO GO.

[00:05:51]CONTINUE TO THE EXIT.

[00:05:54]Continue to the exit. You are trespassed from the park.

[00:05:57]I'll wait on my kids. Keep going. Don't touch me.

[00:06:00]NO.

[00:06:01]>> DON'T TOUCH ME. HEY, LOOK.

[00:06:02]>> WHAT'S GOING ON.

[00:06:03]>> THE GIRL MADE A MISTAKE. They thought we came in here and didn't pay for nothing.

[00:06:06]They saw my ticket. Oh, we're sorry. All my ticket was that what if somebody was having a bad day? You want to stop and do 1 2 3 4 5 people.

[00:06:13]That's dumb.

[00:06:15]Boom, that y'all came in here AND >> HE JUST APOLOGIZED TO ME. I did not say we were sorry.

[00:06:19]>> you did. Continue out. Well, he did.

[00:06:24]Yeah, honestly.

[00:06:25]Didn't have to end like this.

[00:06:27]Continue.

[00:06:35]Look at her dumb ass right there.

[00:06:38]Continue out.

[00:06:39]>> She need to go to train.

[00:06:41]Go hire his back in training.

[00:06:44]Get all this I did not come through no exit.

[00:07:13]You're going to go to jail. I AIN'T GOT TO SHUT THE I DON'T NEED THAT.

[00:07:44]So, you're trespassed for 365 days. If you return onto this property or any Busch Gardens property, you are subject to arrest. Do you understand?

[00:07:57]Good for you.

[00:08:00]Well, you're already here. So obviously you got some time. 365 days. If you return, you are subject [screaming] to arrest.

[00:08:08]Would you like your copy of the trespass?

[00:08:12]All right. Vacate the property or you're going to jail.

[00:08:24]>> [screaming] >> Unfortunately.

[00:08:33]Now all we ask you walk past. All we ask keep going.

[00:08:48]Why? I don't want to look at you. I want you to leave.

[00:08:51]Nobody wanted to look at you.

[00:09:07]It's a nice truck.

[00:09:13]That's fine. Try to pay your compliment.

[00:09:15]I'll just go myself.

[00:09:29]You've been trespassed. We're escorting you off the property.

[00:09:35]>> I'm going to press the button, you know?

[00:10:30]I can I can see why you said it's paid off. It's obviously a couple years old.

[00:10:34]>> to do with your stupid Hey, YOU SHORT PIECE OF [ __ ] GET YOUR ASS BACK TO WORK. YOU SEE THAT? [ __ ] >> [screaming] >> TO WORK.

[00:10:39]>> OKAY, TIME TO LEAVE.

[00:10:41]>> ASS HOME. Time to leave. Ma'am, step out of the road.

[00:10:44]Come on, GET IN THE CAR. GET YOUR ASS HOME. ALL RIGHT. [ __ ] Get your ass up.

[00:10:53]Hey, so [ __ ] Have a better Sunday.

[00:10:59]The formal trespass notice was legally complete.

[00:11:02]It specified the 365 day duration, geographic scope across all Busch Gardens properties, and the criminal consequence of return. The subject's refusal to accept a written copy does not invalidate it. Verbal delivery on camera constitutes sufficient legal notice under Florida law. Any return within 365 days constitutes a second-degree misdemeanor under section 810.092b, punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. The decision not to arrest for the verbal conduct was legally sound. An arrest based solely on this language would have been constitutionally vulnerable under City of Houston versus Hill and actionable as a retaliatory arrest under 42 USC section 1983.

[00:11:56]Tampa Police Department officers receive a B+. The trespass notice was procedurally complete. De-escalation discipline held throughout a prolonged hostile encounter. No force was deployed where none was warranted. The deduction reflects extended verbal engagement that prolonged the encounter unnecessarily.

[00:12:15]Consistent redirection without substantive response would have been tactically cleaner. The subject receives a D.

[00:12:22]The First Amendment protected her speech, but that protection is a shield against government punishment, not a guarantee of favorable outcomes. Nine minutes of verbal aggression produced a documented trespass and a year-long ban.

[00:12:36]More critically, her conditional physical threats placed her one step from a lawful arrest. Had officers applied the section 784.011 assault standard, a custodial arrest would have been legally defensible with no viable First Amendment defense.

[00:12:54]Adventure Island security receives a B.

[00:12:57]Escalation to law enforcement was procedurally correct. However, the unresolved question of whether the ticket determination was accurate reflects a potential process gap at point of entry. The central lesson legal protection and strategic wisdom are not the same thing. When facing a disputed trespass, the effective response is to comply, request a supervisor, obtain the notice in writing, and preserve a potential civil claim. Verbal aggression forfeits none of those legal options, but it eliminates them practically.

[00:13:30]It transforms a potential grievance into a documented record of threatening conduct that undermines any subsequent claim. For law enforcement, this footage demonstrates restraint under sustained provocation. Absorbing 9 minutes of hostility without retaliatory escalation reflects constitutional literacy and professional discipline that averted a legally complex arrest situation.
