Then, why are you avoiding me? >> Did I not tell you that I have a medical condition that causes me to be hostile? You do not know literally the situation that I have dealt with having a bunch of guy officers and being sexually assaulted. So, I makes me not at ease with you guys. Officers in California, other places don't stop people for something petty like that. If I didn't know any better, I would think this is a [ __ ] racial assault. >> Okay. You can think whatever you want, but in Edmond, Oklahoma, this is what we stop people for. You don't want to know why. This is the last time I'm going to ask. Are you going to provide your name, yes or no? If you're going to stay silent, I'll take that as a no. And then, as you're silent, go ahead and do me a favor, turn around and put your hands behind your back. >> This is a 23-year-old woman who pulled her rental car over in Edmond, Oklahoma at 3:00 a.m. to take a relaxing stroll after a terrible day. The scene instantly deteriorates into an unlawful detention when Officer Smith and his partner close in, aggressively interrogating her for wearing shorts in the winter and walking in the street where there are literally no sidewalks. This is a horrific display of suburban profiling where police weaponize a citizen's attire and freedom of movement to manufacture an arrest. >> You're going for a walk now? >> Sometimes people walk to just relax and unwind. >> Yeah, I don't I don't think so. Not not in this weather not how you're dressed. >> I always dress in shorts. >> You always dress in shorts? >> So, you think it's cooler here because I'm dressed in shorts? >> Yeah, because I don't know if you actually live there because as soon as I turned onto this street, you pulled over like very sharply right there. And then, you immediately got out of the car and start walking down the middle of the road. Which you can't be walking down the middle of the road. >> There's no sidewalk. >> Okay. Well, whether there's a sidewalk or not, you can't be walking in the middle of the road. Walk in the grass. So, no I didn't say you're free to leave. So, where exactly are you going right now? >> I was going for a walk right now because I'm having a bad day. >> Okay, do you have something that says that you live right there? >> I don't have any ID on me right now. >> You don't have any ID on you. Where are you coming from? >> I was just driving down the street and then I was parking the vehicle to go for a walk. Just driving around trying to relax. >> So, where do you live? Huh? >> Out here. >> Where out here? >> Do you need my exact address in the town? >> Okay. So, why did you tell me you live there? >> Well, you're randomly coming up to me and I haven't even committed anything or whatnot. I don't feel comfortable with you guys because I've had many cases before being sexually assaulted by police officers. So, I don't feel comfortable with you guys. >> Okay. Well, we're recording on multiple cameras, so You've got to explain better what you're doing then. Because you wouldn't pass me. I was going about 20 miles an hour. >> The speed limit is 25 miles per hour. I'm not trying to pass the speed limit. That's exactly what the speed limit is. >> That's incorrect. >> The speed limit is 25 in the school zone. >> I'm talking there on on Broadway. So, where are you coming from? >> Okay. Well, I went to the gas station and came down here and then I needed to go get some more gas because I'm low on gas and whatnot. But then I'm having a bad day and just walking. I want to know how it's illegal if I'm walking or whatnot and then you're basically counting me because I didn't commit a crime because I'm driving under >> Well, you did. You're walking in the middle of the street. >> There's no sidewalk. Do you see any sidewalks? >> There doesn't need to be a sidewalk. Doesn't mean you can just walk right in the middle of the street. >> There's no sidewalks so then call a supervisor out here. >> What's your What's your name? >> I'm not going to give you any information cuz I'm not going to admit to a crime. >> You're going to need to give me information or >> Then call a supervisor out here cuz I have not committed a crime. You're profiling me because I'm walking down the street where there's no sidewalks or anything. Then you're giving me a hard time. >> parked somewhere to avoid me walking down the middle of the street. Okay. >> Did I not tell you I have pending cases where officers have been sexually assaulted me so I have every right and ground to feel a little hostile with police officers in general. >> Right. I I guess I'm sorry to hear that but >> And it's Oklahoma divisions, too. In Oklahoma City, Oklahoma that's still pending. So I have the right to >> Which Which Which department in Oklahoma? >> Stillwater. It's a serious pending case. So you I have every right to feel hostile in general with police officers. >> Sixth and M, and I'm out with one at 12th and St. John's. >> There is traffic. >> So here's the deal. >> And I I have I have I have I have I have I have had officers before literally stop me just because oh, I'm walking in the middle of the street when there's no sidewalks where we're literally in a like a countryside area or whatnot. >> Well, this isn't This isn't This most certainly isn't the countryside. This is a city, okay? >> But there's no sidewalk. >> Okay, but would you rather walk in the grass or would you rather walk in the street? >> There's no sidewalks. I always walk in the street in situations like this and there's nothing weird about my shorts or whatnot. I come from a cold area where I'm used to like snowing stuff. >> Okay, where's the cold area? >> Okay, I've originally from Utah before I moved to Oklahoma or whatnot or I can have people back that up if you want if you don't believe me or whatnot and I'm used to anything below 20 so excuse me if I live in Oklahoma and it's 50° and I wear shorts because it's considered warm. >> Well, it's most certainly not 50° right now. >> So then what's wrong with my attire where if I feel like I have the right to >> Whatever. I don't I don't care what your attire is. The issue is is that you saying you need to go to the gas station and then you're not going to the gas station. >> There's a gas station right up the street. What if I >> Okay, but but you said you need gas. And so if you're going to walk there, you're not going to be able to fill your car up. So explain that to me. >> I could go there and socialize with people. >> Who are you going to socialize with? >> The front desk folks. I do it all the time. >> Do you know what time it is? >> 3:00 in the morning. >> Okay. Did you just leave a bar? You didn't. Then where are you coming from? You went to strip club. Which one? >> Uh something darling saloon. >> And how much have you had to drink? >> I don't drink alcohol. Do you want to give me a breathalyzer? >> Then why are you avoiding me? >> Did I not tell you again that I have a chemical imbalance and it causes me to be hostile? You do not know literally you the situation that I have dealt with having a bunch of guy officers and being sexually assaulted so I makes me not at ease all of you guys. >> Okay, well I'm sorry to hear that. So so what's your plan? Your plan's to walk to the gas station socialize then walk back. >> with people all the time at the gas station. That's not odd. That's something I do. >> But you also need gas. That's what you told me. >> I did tell you that. >> So how So how why wouldn't you just drive to the gas station then? Why would you park there and start walking? >> Cuz I want to walk. I'm my own person. >> How old are you? Huh? You're 23? Have you been in trouble with the police before? >> Did I not tell you I've been sexually assaulted by you guys? >> That's not in trouble. Have you been in trouble with the police before? Never? No speeding tickets, nothing? >> Oh I got a speeding ticket. >> Where at it? >> Because I've had a >> in California. >> Okay. >> I'm really trying to be like polite with the officers because I don't have anything on my person. That's why I'm not being rude or anything. >> Well, yeah. You don't have to answer my question, but you do have to ID yourself. >> And that's if I've committed a crime. What crime have I committed? I don't see how there's no sidewalks. Me walking on the street when there's no sidewalks or what not. I don't necessarily want to walk on people's grass cuz people who own lawns don't like people walking in the grass. I don't want to walk through that with my shoes. >> Well, it's it's for one thing it's winter and the grass is dead, so it doesn't matter whether you walk on it or not. >> It's my own It's up to me whether I want to walk on the grass or not. There's no sidewalks. If there were sidewalks, I would walk on the sidewalk. There's no sidewalks. >> Why do you have a Wisconsin plate? >> Because my car's broken down. >> Huh? >> Because my car's broken. >> To where? And where are you living? >> In Wisconsin. >> And why are you up here? >> Because I was going to go to the gas station to socialize with somebody at my own free will. >> I'm going to ask you this as politely as you can. I need to have some sort of identification. >> I don't have my ID with me right now. >> Where is it? Is it back in the car cuz you got out of the car so fast? >> I literally just want to walk to the gas station. I'm not going to ID myself if I haven't committed a crime. >> Well, I'm telling you you're going to have to. If you don't ID yourself, then I'm going to take you to jail. >> Yes, for obstruction because even though I'm not committing a crime or what not, you want to take me for not IDing myself. >> So, to >> all of that, all you have to do is give me your first name, last name, date of birth. >> What crime do you suspect me of committing? You literally just explained about me walking in the street when there's no sidewalk. And then you're complaining about my attire where when I just explained to you I am usually come from a cold temperature area and I'm used to the cold, so this is hot to me. >> Are you going to give me your name, yes or no? I'm done playing these games. >> I'm not playing a game with you. >> Okay. So, let me have your name and we'll move on with this. >> What crime do you suspect me of committing? I you're literally detaining me and then you literally are complaining because I didn't commit a crime when the speed limit's 25 cuz there's a school zone right there. And to keep in mind, I didn't keep it at 25 mph. I was staying under 40, which is the sign back there. It's under 40. So, now it's because I didn't commit a crime or go past the speed limit of 40. Okay, can I get my name? >> No, just stay right here. You don't need to go get it. Just tell me it. That's all you have to do is tell me. So, that way you don't have to walk all the way back. I don't want to walk all the way back there. Actually, stay right here, get your name, date of birth, run you. If everything's good, get you on your way. You can you can walk happily. What are you doing? Are you pulling up a picture of your ID? If you're just aimlessly scrolling, then we're about to go a different route with this. Are you going to no longer answer questions? >> How many issues are there with this is on. >> So, you're not going to ID ID yourself. >> I haven't committed a crime. What crime have I committed? Me wearing shorts and there's no >> We're not going to discuss that anymore. Are you going to ID yourself? Yes or no? You're not going to call anybody any >> Okay, it is 2:40 um December and all two officers have approached me at Edmond, Oklahoma or what not. I would like you to pick up the phone. One of the officer's name is Mr. Smith and he's going to try to take me for allegedly obstructing when I haven't committed a crime or what not. So, I'm going to let you know this because of you know how they are in Oklahoma or what and they're trying to punish me again. And he's complaining about me walking down the street because I'm wearing shorts and you know good and well I am from Utah and the colder weather out. So, I'm forewarning you because my cellular phone is going to die or what not. I'm in Edmond or what not and you got to do what you got to do. You won't hear any calls from me around 7:00 in the morning your time and there's a situation. >> 43 on a white Nissan Altima. >> You're good now? And now we're just going to remain silent. Are you sure you want to do that? Okay, hold tight with my partner. >> Now, do you have a valid license? >> So, I I really don't want to have to take you to jail, but I really am going to have no option. And all I've done is be patient with you and just ask you for your name. Because everything you just did makes no sense to me. >> I just told you >> I don't I don't Your explanation is really bad. >> with officers in general cuz I have a pending case of being sexually assaulted by officers in Oklahoma, and it's still going. So, I have every right to feel uneasy with you guys in general cuz you do not know the trauma it caused me. So, you >> Okay, and I'm sorry if that caused trauma, but I don't get how that deters you from just giving me your first name, last name, and date of birth so I can make sure you don't have any warrants and then get you on your way. Does that make sense? Okay. No, she said it's a rental. >> There's nothing odd about my entire life. You made it seem like it's odd about my entire life when I just made it clear that I'm not >> What I'm saying is just from hearing what he said, it's odd that you stuck your car in the middle of the street like you >> It's not in the middle of the street. It's parked. >> Do you know where you are right now? >> Edmond. >> What street is this? You don't know what street this is. So, you just parked on a random street in Edmond and then you walked to a gas station which you could have driven your car to. All those things are weird. Any police officer anywhere in the world would stop you and question you because of your behavior. >> No. Officers in Golden, California, other places don't stop people for something petty like that. If I didn't know anybody, I would think this is freaking racial profiling. >> Okay. You can think whatever you want, but in Edmond, Oklahoma, this is what we stop people for. You don't want to know why? >> This is just a boring town where not much goes on. It sounds like you guys have nothing better to do. >> Do you want to know why? Because probably the highest crime that happens in our city is auto burglaries. >> I'm not going to steal anyone's vehicle, sir. >> That's That's not what I was implying, but this which is what happens in non-lit areas and neighborhoods. So, that's why you're being stopped and you're being talked to. Nothing's going to progress here until you provide us with the information. The only thing you're going to do is get yourself into further trouble. >> I'm not in trouble in the beginning. This is an illegal detainment. >> It is? >> Please explain to me how it's illegal. >> Okay. You can >> You can't walk in the middle of the street. >> There are no sidewalks. How many times do I have to keep saying that? >> in your vehicle that you were driving and drive. Right? >> This is the land of the free. If I'm free to walk, I can freely walk down the street. There are no sidewalks. >> a well-lit area. You will >> Okay, this is the last time I'm going to ask. Are you going to provide your name, yes or no? If you're going to stay silent, I'll take that as a no. And then, as you're silent, go ahead and do me a favor, turn around and put your hands behind your back. Anything illegal on your person? I'm going to take this off you. >> Please don't touch me. >> I can I'm going to take that. >> Please do not touch me. >> All right. Walk this way. I don't know why you're being like this. >> Obstruction. >> That's it? >> Yeah. Just let me know whenever you eventually get a name. I don't know. >> Should be on the list, no? Is it state or local? >> Huh? >> Is it state or local? >> Do what? >> Is it state or local? >> Local. I don't know if she's going to give you guys a name, but yeah, if you just let me know if she does. Here, I got her keys. Yeah, if you don't mind just like messaging me if you eventually get her info. So. At some point. Yeah. She wouldn't give me an ID and just very adamant about it. So. And then I'll be right down to write the ticket, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon, so. >> Will do. >> All right, thanks. Can you open the gate? >> Yeah, I got >> Thanks. 610 into 8. >> It's local. >> Case details. Pretext for stop. Walking down the middle of a dark street due to a total lack of sidewalks. The police blunder, explicitly admitting they target citizens for weird behavior because it is a low crime town, then caging her for an invalid obstruction charge. Legal violations. Fourth Amendment violation. False arrest without probable cause. unlawful identity coercion, failure to follow victim sensitive crisis protocols.
