on May 13th 2023 Rob Huff exited his gated property and was driving down the road when officer Hudson of the susex County Sheriff's Office signaled for a traffic stop confused but compliant Mr Huff pulled over immediately took out his phone and began recording the encounter Hey sir how you doing I was doing fine what's the problem I got a shoot range or something over there my property yeah list I ain't coming your attitude I'm filing a complaint that somebody filed okay so you have a shooting range over there and everything no just my property that's your property yeah okay so people currently shooting over there now what's going on so we get first we get a Call of shot crow in the area they were're in the county yeah listen anytime shots fired in the UR you got the ID on you sir I haven't committed a crime right now is an investigation going on Sir for shot in the area and I need to make know who I made contact with I haven't committed a crime withs Sheriff I identify myself I haven't committed a crime sir what's your name I'm not I haven't committed a crime what's your name sir my name's robs pleasure to meet you Hudson yes sir all right so we got to call the shot Fring area do you own you say you own that land up there yes sir okay how long you you live up there or just laying just laying okay hold on okay so originally call the shots firing area anytime shots firing area we got to come if it's hunting we get hunting time we get a lot of calls so we have to investigate because we don't know what's going on I don't know that there land back there I don't know that you that that belongs to you I don't know that you shooting back there or whatever I don't know that stuff so I have to investigate when a citizen call we have to investigate okay so that's what I'm investigating so again you got your ID on you no it's not I got to make I didn't make a I didn't break any laws yeah so we got to call a red truck that shots fired in the area Okay so again I'm investigating there an ongoing investigation so do you have what crime shot fired in the area that's a crime yes Road waiting houses in the area yes sir there was never any okay I don't know that I haven't went back the only thing I got is a red truck so I have I'm just going to I'm just going to uh exercise my Fifth Amendment right at this point okay you that's fine I need your ID sir I'm not going to I'm not going to ID myself I haven't broken the law step out the vehicle for me sir in the footage officer Hudson claimed he initiated the traffic stop in response to a shots fired call from a resident however Mr Huff rightfully refused to provide identification asserting he hadn't committed a crime legally for a traffic stop to be constitutional officers typically need reasonable suspicion that a crime has been or is being committed officer Hudson lacked solid grounds to believe Mr Huff had fired shots especially considering the rural area's hunting regulations which permit shooting under certain conditions therefore the stop appears to be unjustified and potentially unconstitutional I don't uh don't consider sent to any Searchers or C I'm not searching vehicle I need to know have do on I need to know who I made contact with sir uh I haven't broken a law can you articulate a law that I've broken right now you must identify yourself sir because I have made contact in this inves law I'm not going to I'm exercising my Fifth Amendment right so so now you're refusing to identify yourself to me you haven't articulated a crime is an ongoing investigation of shots fired in the area sir crime that's not a crime it's an account you're missing the whole I am not I am not giving up my Fifth Amendment right not going to that land belongs to you that land belongs to you yes sir do you have any back stops behind any shooting that's going on back there I'm not going to answer any questions okay that's fine you want can I see your supervisor he is a supervisor sir can I see your supervisor I allow people to hun on that property as well well so okay when they're hunting is that a crime how much land you got I'm not going to answer any questions okay and why why I'm just going to ask because I have the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution okay so you you you swore not to up hold the Constitution didn't you sure did can you articulate to me what the fourth and fifth amendment of constitution is yeah I can but I'm not going to cuz you obviously know it okay so this is this is my question right bet if you're want to search your right I have no problem with that I'm being illegally detained at this point okay well we're in the middle of Investigation okay crime it's not a crime you don't you can't even articulate a crime I I'm I have no obligation to assist you in your investigation you know okay so my question to you is this you want to ask me a bunch of questions but you don't want to answer any my questions why are you being difficult I'm a I'm a citizen in America and we have the Constitution I know but that doesn't answer why you're not why you're being so difficult I don't have to answer any of your questions off officer okay I I just want to know what your issu is why why why you don't want to talk to us that's what my question is I'm sorry I think you guys are tyrants okay yeah okay if y'all if y'all actually upheld the Constitution like you swore an oath to do then then yeah I would answer questions but y'all don't do that anymore you're [ __ ] tyrants anymore man no offense to you I mean I'm sure you're you might be a good dude I know I don't know I know yall are sitting here wanting to ID me and violating my constitutional rights okay but getting your ID is not viol your it certainly is that's theary and how how how is it because I I don't have to have any searches or seizures you can't search or seize anything unless I've been suspected of a crime okay am I suspected of a crime I I'll leave that up to my partner sir yeah there you got to articulate a crime and I'd be happy to I'd be happy to ID myself if you can articulate a crime that I've at this point it's clear that Mr Huff was unlawfully detained his fourth amendment rights violated officer seized him without any articulated crime breaching the Constitutional mandate for probable cause labeling Mr Huff as difficult for defending his rights only underscores the Injustice the officers claim that they can seize or detain without a committed crime is false serving to rationalize their unlawful actions broken or done something wrong okay well technically we have enough to stop you for the incident that we're investigating and technically if you want to get into the aspects of the law you're just driving down the road we have a right to see a dri's l of registration there's Supreme Court case law on that yeah if if I violated a law okay what's the law what's the law that I violated operating a vehicle on the roads to the commwell that's that's against the law it's not against the law but once once once you've been once you have been stopped for a reasonable suspicion you don't need problem cause crime you can't articulate a crime didn't he already to tell you that he didn't articulate a crime okay okay but a crime is not reasonable suspicion you need to talk to a better lawy lawyer I'm not I'm not I ain't talking to nobody I'm just I'm just but a crime a crime is not reasonable suspicion a crime is probable cause yes Reasonable articulable Suspicion if you can articulate to me Reasonable articulable Suspicion I would be happy to ID myself so if you want to play the reasonable the reasonable person standard will play that okay so we're responding to a shots fire call we have a witness that sees your truck driving from that area and now we're talking to you that's reasonable suspicion according to Supreme Court all day CRI what's the crime shots fired we're investigating it well no I don't have to no I don't have to have a crime to stop you I don't have to have a crime to ID you I don't have to have a crime to talk to you you have to have a crime if I've done something wrong I will idem myself you tell me what I've done wrong show me where in a law book anywhere that Reasonable Suspicion equals a crime it doesn't is this a Terry stop it doesn't is this Terry V Ohio is this a Terry stop okay no I don't think it's a Terry stop there you go okay am I am I free to leave so this is the the rule um I'm going to print out the laws of Sussex County I'm going to put it on that fence it is regulations that have to fall we are going to report it they are going to come and investigate your airview that you're shooting over there um again I'm going to take a picture number right here I don't want you to to uh trespass on my property listen sir okay again shots was fired in their area there homes right there you can't shoot within a certain feet of the homes so if y are in violation that you will be charged okay there's still no crime yes it is a crime you can't shoot within certain feet of the home sir how many feet was I in you're good to go sir have a good day thank you I'll take care stay safe officer Hudson told Mr Huff they would investigate further and leave a notice at his property despite Mr Huff's objection officers proceeded to his property and contacted his

property how how are you so what are you arresting me for trespass right now you're being detained sir toy you sir officer Hudson further worsened the encounter by continuing to lie in his police reports he falsely alleged that Mr Rob verbally abused him in a violent manner claiming it threatened his safety however the footage clearly shows Mr Rob was not aggressive these repeated falsehoods constitute police misconduct where officials violate their duty to uphold the law and act in the Public's best interest under the guise of authority tresp we got do you have any weapons on you I have

Jared what what sir if you can step back by your vehicle till we get a chance to talk to you after unnecessary questioning officer Hudson issued summonses to both Mr Rob and his father Mr Rob was charged with using abusive language despite it being irrelevant to the investigation in New Jersey to be charged with such an offense the language must be used in a public public place with the intent to offend spoken loudly enough to disturb others however Mr Rob was on private property and did not use offensive language loudly officer Hudson's charge seemed unjustified serving more as a means to retaliate than to uphold the law what's the what's the crime what's the crime so we got a call that somebody was shooting on the property you told me that Hudson so at the same time we come up here and investigate yeah and I told you not to come property I don't know if you the owner the property you left and went down that way correct so we came down here we made contact with your father your
