on October 5th 2023 Miss Kelsey was walking with her husband to a local store for groceries when she encountered Sam Ford the police chief of Lynn Missouri recognizing him from a distance she expressed her displeasure and realized that Chief Ford was following her as she entered the store worried she began recording with her cell phone in 2021 Miss Kelsey was stopped by a car without license plates belonging to the Lynn police department and she never found out why hi hi you're we're we just parked we're just want to make sure okay this is a private driveway and I'm here to work

many people it's not a street there's literally a sign right there that says not a through Street I understand that I get calls all the time to come here because people have parked here in the middle of the night it's 11:30 at night I'm here to work I've got the keys I've literally showed you fantas got the keys right here I can go open the door to go in to go do my job and I'm happy for you okay what I'm asking is is when we stop to do a public service to make sure that you're not just some random person here getting ready to try to break into a [ __ ] Physician's office that you're just as curious as we try to be okay and I told you why I'm here so I told you why I'm here time courteous and you won't get an ass chewing okay just so you know I can speak to you however I want there's freedom of so can I do so so can I but you have to be professional it's your job you're representing our town right now you're you're representing your business right now aren't you sure okay so when I come up and I just start trying to talk to you because I don't know who you are and I've never met you and you've already confirmed you've never met me correct no okay doesn't mean you can act like a tyrant I'm not acting like a tyrant demanding my ID because I don't have to give you my ID I don't have to give you my ID that's great okay now that I know that you work for the janitorial that's fine you could be here whatever but there's no reason to be rude from the moment that you get out of your truck there's no reason for it okay so next time be nice I'll be nice too okay well you sat there with your light on me for a couple minutes first it was not for a couple minutes okay for a minute for a minute because I was calling into my dispatch okay okay so again drop the attitude when you're dealing with a public servant man all I'm trying to do is my job well then don't come up demanding for ID and [ __ ] then don't act like an ass I can act however I want and so can I freedom of speech you do have that freedom you absolutely do but you also do have the freedom to just not be a jerk okay so next time be nice I'll be nice too well next time you see my vehicle here you know I work here and I still have to do my rounds ma'am okay I was coming here to do a damn building check that's fine so just please be be try not to be rude to people you could do the same thing I wasn't rude until you were man okay so have a nice night you doo oh what is your badge number 706 706 and your name officer Cade you can talk to Chief beor if you want to oh I definitely will absolutely can miss Kelce was subjected to unwarranted questioning and given unlawful orders by the officer even though no crime was committed to make matters worse after the officer left her alone her employer received a call from the ex-chief of police in an attempt to get her fired with this context Miss Kelsey's Act of expr expressing displeasure by flipping off the current police chief makes more sense however Chief Ford's behavior of following her around the store as if she had committed a crime remains perplexing hold on what what was that you see your ID for what uh because what you just did is considered disorderly conduct in the city of Lynn oh that's okay no that's a First Amendment activity no it's not actually it actually is I need to see your ID please no yeah I'm going to see your ID or I'm going to put you in handcuffs and I'm going to take you to jail good luck with that excuse me you're going to take me to jail because I absolutely I will because I no that's not disorder dude that's a First Amendment protected activity not a First Amendment protect is I'm busy trying don't touch me stop don't touch me dude don't [ __ ] touch me don't [ __ ] touch me get the [ __ ] away from from me who the [ __ ] are you don't touch me 7006 get me a county un headed this way I've got a subject resisting my detention no don't [ __ ] touch me I didn't do [ __ ] you are under arrest no no no I'm not under arrest no no you really are you're full of it oh say send me a secondary unit got a subject resisting arrest you can't no of course I can man it's a city ordinance okay do you realize that is First Amendment protected activity this is First Amendment protected activity now leave me alone dude you guys this guy is chasing me this guy is [ __ ] chasing me YouTube doesn't impress me at all okay what are you doing leave me alone you you can't do no I am not you can't arrest me Forrest no you cannot arrest me for first amend activities not a First Amendment activity ma'am it absolutely is you can go ahead and leave me alone here bab can you take that you are under arrest no right now I will stop now charges for escape uh Lena can you hold this please additional charges for escape okay go ahead because uh I don't want to h no if you're going to do it hand you're going to go outside this store right now no if you're going to arrest me because I fli you off out there you're cusing disturbance okay this is because he flipped me off no go ahead I didn't flip you off no this CU I flipped you all 1% illegal you guys got this right this guy is violating my ride you ready for the FL on oh he's ready for the SL babe Chief Ford did indeed follow Miss Kelsey around the store and attempted to arrest her for disorderly conduct claiming that disrespecting a police officer warranted such charges he even called for backup claiming that Miss Kelce was resisting arrest the focus should first be on swearing or finger pointing at a law enforcement officer in view of the First Amendment protecting freedom of expression finger wagging falls into this C category the US court of appeals for the second circuit has held that this gesture does not constitute grounds for arrest or detention in the 1987 Houston versus hill case the Supreme Court held that a city ordinance prohibiting verbal abuse of police officers was unconstitutionally overb and criminalized protected expression the court emphasized that the freedom to verbally oppose or challenge police actions without without risk of arrest is a vital feature of a free nation that is a city ordinance no you cannot make a First Amendment protected activity illegal not first am it absolutely is absolutely is oh God dis you're mistaken you're an idiot it's completely okay you're mistaken let's go ahead and do this I've never we don't do it on your schedule we do it onl okay how long are we at this illegal detainment now not illegal absolutely illegal abely illegal absolutely illegal 1 million he's hey this is cuz I flipped him off Chief Ford asserted that Miss Kelce was under arrest for disorderly conduct revealing a troubling lack of knowledge regarding the constitutional rights of US citizens it's alarming that a chief confidently claimed that flipping the bird is not a First Amendment protected act backup officers arrived at the scene with a female officer taking charge and ordering Miss Kelce to identify herself however Miss Kelce promptly refused to provide any form of ID the officer then asserted that this refusal would result in another charge failure to identify in Missouri individuals can be ordered to provide identification but it is not an unlimited right law enforcement must have reasonable suspicion that a person is engaged in wrongdoing given that Miss Kelsey had not committed any offense charging her with failure to identify would be another baseless charge I don't know I was him I flipped him off stand this is cuz I flipped him off he put me in handc CU I flipped him off yeah absolutely he is under arrest for dis off have a city ordinance if you put her in your car she was quite P made store you will be in the lawsuit too because this because I F them this is all we have listed City ORD and by the way she has failed to identify herself can do that thank you I'm I'm not [Music] yeah it's definitely illegal this is completely [ __ ] illegal Tyrant Behavior CU he's butt hurt he got the bird I don't even know what I have in my pocket right this is completely oh I can't wait to [ __ ] sue him it's ridiculous I know well miss Kelsey despite an unlawful arrest remained in handcuffs so subjected to a search by a female officer and placed in a patrol vehicle another violation of her constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment after a few minutes she was released from the patrol vehicle and handcuffs however she still faced citations indicating ongoing issues in the handling of the situation my glasses this is my truck right here are you the husband she's asking that you help these thank you ma'am oh he [ __ ] up oh he [ __ ] up big time well that CH just lost his [ __ ] job oh [ __ ] well I know I shouldn't have ran from him but I didn't want him get in my ID we just try to keep it CM it was illegal definitely no reason for him to [ __ ] do that I was telling him he don't care he's talking about City orces no you make that see but it goes federal state city city can't make something ferally legal illegal and because federally I can flip him off federally so his other concerns are the riest existing and because he was trying to illegally detain me for something look I I have no dog for this fight you need to talk to him okay oh I can't he handcuffed me and then sent me well she's I'm sorry I'm not I mean you did put me in your car not like as I told you that I literally did nothing that's my only thing I literally did nothing I back I'm going to sue this guy Sam Ford [ __ ] up well was that his name yeah can

Amendment activity okay great that's a First Amendment activity I need your ID no no so I'm going to have to take you to jail to identify you if that's what you're going to do if you're going to illegally arrest me why do you like this because I did something that's constitutionally protected I'm not giving you my ID let's go back then what is your big problem with the police department Lyn PD has [ __ ] with me too many times so do your thing do your thing do your thing if you're going to illegally detain me and arrest me I IL detain you you did because I flipped you off no you don't
