It says interfering with a um an officer. That's what he said he would arrest me for, the deputy downstairs. I'm not causing any disruptions on doing anything. Simply recording peacefully my first amendment right. Free press. That's it. So, I don't understand why I had to be removed. Okay. What do you have here? Can I see it? Yeah, sure. It's an internal memo that they gave me and they had a judge sign it. Oh, that's not a court order. It's just a judge signing an internal memo. Apparently a Dale, a sergeant said that he about how dealing with First Amendment auditors. Okay. I wasn't aware of any of this. You're going to be held accountable for your actions. I promise you that. That's so sad. You had an internal memo signed by a judge. The judge is asking that he for what? No longer in the court section. But for what? For what? Am I disrupting anybody? Am I disrupting anyone? Videape sheriff's side of the building, but courts. I'm not inside the courtroom. Want him just out of this area down the court. He can't be in the courtroom.

I'm not interfering with your carrying out your duties. I'm not doing anything anything illegal. Anyway, I'm I'm documenting for the public consumption as a journalist. So, the you're telling me that a judge can just indiscriminately just kick people out. Next thing you know, it's for their skin color or for because they don't like the way they look. You are more than welcome to consult an attorney. That's unconstitutional. I don't need to I don't need to consult attorney. I I will file the lawsuit myself against Douglas County. You're disrupting the elevator. Yeah. No, I'm not. Clown? Yes. You heard me. Be careful. Keep going. Keep moving. Bunch of tyrants in this police department. disrupting the elevator. What a clown.

Captain O'Hare. 111. 111. Do you have a badge number, sir? 112. 112. Let me go in there, do some checking real quick. Just again, I don't work in port security. I don't know what's going on. I'm the patrol captain. Yeah. Any one of these officers will tell you just just so you know why while you go you're checking. Any one of these officers will tell you I was being quiet, wasn't bothering anyone, didn't go anywhere near inside of a courtroom. Didn't do anything illegal. Didn't break any laws. Just just so we're clear. And it's all on video. Yeah, I just got drunk into it. I understand. And listen, I'm not I'm just having communication with you as a supervisor of these deputies here that I interacted with. That's all. I don't want to escalate the situation anyway. I obviously left the court the the court area under threat of arrest. So, obviously I don't want my freedom taken from me, but you know, I do want to be held accountable and whether you do something or not, uh, you know, we we'll I'll hold accountable for what what happened. That's a few minutes. Yeah, sure. Sure. I I'm going to request How do I do a records request while you're doing that for the body camera footage of these officers? Do it online. I can do it online. That's usually easier. Okay. Just on our website, Douglas County Sheriff's. It's dgso.org. DGSO.org. Thank you, Captain. Thank you. Yeah, no problem. Okay, sir. I just talked we talked it over. As long as you're in public space, you can record. Um, just important. Yeah, that's that's my only intention. I went ahead and grabbed you an internal affairs complaint packet. Okay. Um, because I understand you there's some restrictions on how you're treated today. Thank you, Captain. Just make sure and get that filled out. You can also do that online, too. But that way, you have one. All right. Thank you, Captain. I appreciate it. Anything for me? No, that's it. Thank you, guys. I appreciate you guys. Thank you so much. All right, guys. So, we the people have won yet again. Go ahead. This Mhm. I hope you were educated on our rights today, sir. Do you have a comment on what's going on? No. No comment. He went right in there to go snitch to the judge. So remember, law enforcement officers told me, just in case they try and pull a fast one, told me I had every right, as we already knew, to record in the publicly accessible areas of this building. Anywhere the public, the general public is allowed, we have the right to record. Have a good day, deputy. Take care. I'm on my way out. I hope that you learn some deescalation techniques. Truly, I do. Not just for your safety, but the safety of the public. that you identify yourself properly. Sure. As is required under your policy. Deescalation works wonders. This didn't have to come this far. And I mean, we're all good. No, I I understand you're good. But it's not Yeah, but it's not good when you threaten someone to take their freedom away. You wouldn't want your freedom taken away, would you, sir? So, since I gave you my name, what was your name? My name is Sean, sir. Sean what? Just Sean. Just Sean. I gave you my last name. I I exercise I exercise I you you will know my name. I promise you that. But I exercise my right to to not identify myself. But as a member of the public, as a as a worker, a public servant, it's your job to identify yourself. It's only that's the job you chose. I chose to go in a private company. Right? I just want you all to understand that this didn't have to come to this. It didn't have to come to this. There was no need for any of this. And you kind of got it in the beginning, but again, a judge's order doesn't doesn't supersede the Constitution. It shouldn't have to come to this. I had to go upstairs, talk to the captains for what? You're shedding a bad light on your police department. On your sheriff's department, excuse me. Have the day you deserve.
