Get your Guys, parents, we have to remember to discipline our children. It's not the duty of law enforcement. Hey everyone, I'm John, and I appreciate you watching. Now, when dealing with juveniles as a police officer, it can be extremely difficult because even though they may be under 18, they can still commit crimes and be potentially dangerous. Now, thinking back, I once had to clear a corner of juveniles was class, and what was supposed to be simple turned into a fight on the highway. As all of the juveniles were clearing out and made their way to school, there was one particular juvenile that just refused to listen. Now, as I exited my cruiser and made my way towards him just to talk to him, he became verbally argumentative and then tried to walk in the opposite way of the school. As I grabbed his arm, he took a swing at me, which grazed my face, and then the second swing connected with my shoulder. Well, needless to say, he was arrested at this point for assaulting a police officer. And once backup arrived, he was put in the back of a wagon and transported to headquarters. But in court, he did apologize, and they gave him some community service. However, sometimes I still wonder what happens to kids that have these type of interactions with police. Now, police often face the challenge of balancing public safety with the need for rehabilitation programs like diversion initiatives that aim to redirect young offenders away from the justice system, focusing instead on education and community service. But there is a catch. The stigma of an arrest can linger and affect a young person's future opportunities. Now, with this case out of Savannah, we have kids hanging around Kroger's, allegedly breaking items and lounging on patio furniture. And I believe one of the males is actually sleeping. Now, police did give them verbal commands and gave them a chance to leave the store. However, the juveniles refused to listen and start to physically resist the police once the cuffs come out. Then police end up arresting numerous juveniles, and I'm sure numerous uses of force will have to be written. And it's actually sad because these are children. But unfortunately, this is happening more often than not across the country between juveniles and law enforcement. Now, it's a sad fact, but nearly 430,000 children were arrested in 2020 alone. And juvenile courts across the country hear nearly 800,000 cases each year. So, our children are definitely worth putting the time and effort into raising them the best way possible. All right, guys, that's all I have for today. Remember to be safe, and I'll see you on the next one. The suspects shown were arrested on felony obstruction and disorderly conduct charges. The suspects in this case are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. How you going? How are you? Okay. Yeah. Yeah, they're all right. What What are you doing down here? Pardon? What are you doing down here? Oh, just chilling. Okay. Just saw you filming, that's all. We're just curious as to why. Yeah. Yeah, that's all. Okay. Oh, they can get Okay, look. Sorry, Chase. This is our folks. This is a very big police space that deals with a lot of stuff. All right. So, there's going to be security issues in and around here. If we see a couple of people filming, it makes us suspicious. And you might be completely stopped there one sec. No. No. No. No. No. No. Stop there one second. She needs to tell me something first. Hold on. Reason for what you're doing. Listen, why we're talking to you is because it makes us a bit suspicious. Suspicious is not a crime. I'm not saying it is, but it makes us a bit suspicious that someone's filming this area because it's so prominent as a police site. Okay? Which is why we're talking to you. So, I'm sorry to interrupt. Yeah, this is Alex. Not interrupting. I'm Martin. This is Alex. We're from the Mountain Branch. And this is why we're talking to you. Okay. If you could just give us an explanation first why you're doing. Would you like to tell us something? Can you just answer my question? No. It won't go any further until you tell us something. You need to tell us something. Saying we really need you to answer. No, we don't answer questions on a public footpath. Okay. If you tell us something first, we might have an amicable conversation with you. Have you got something to tell us? Go on then. Have you Have I got something to tell you? Yeah, not well. You're on about us record. Moments later, the tension rises when mounted officers approach claiming his filming is suspicious. The auditor holds firm pointing out that suspicion isn't a crime and public property is fair ground. You can almost see the officers trying to regain authority while realizing they are outmatched legally. He refuses to answer questions turning every challenge into a lesson. His tone is calm but razor sharp proving knowledge is a best defense. The moment feels like a chess match where every police move is counted perfectly, and frustration begins to show. Told you what we've got. So, you're on about us recording, and you've got to tell us at the the first available opportunity that you're recording us. Starting a record start recording. All right, okay, that's why we interrupted you. Wasn't being ignorant or my colleague. I was just letting you know about, you know, did you know about this just before we we continue with the conversation my colleague on the matter. Yeah, okay, yeah, you'll B&V video, yeah. Well, this you're want you're wanting something from us, but you need to at least we're not running away or anything like that. Absolutely. All right, so we'll go over that M, yeah. So, so we're just literally having a look around. If we find something, let go of, please. Yeah. Okay. If we find anything interesting on our day out today, like the the horses in the training ground that you've got here, we're making a video. That's sort of Okay, that's all. Is that for anyone in particular? Just for us. And And who are you guys? When you say us, like what members of just video makers, members of public, whatever you want to call us today. You got no title. Who sees your Who watches the video? Yeah, it depends who we show it to. Oh, that's what I mean. Like online or as it works. Well, it depends. If I find something of of a house fire or something, I might sell it to a newspaper. If I find a police station with some training going on, I like show it to my So, okay. Okay, thank you. So, the fact that you've got that and you've got that in such a sort of like show me state means you've been stopped before. Do you do you film? You guys film us, but we're not allowed to film things that we want. No, not saying you're not saying you're not allowed. What What? Many people. No, this man's attitude come like we have to listen to him. We could, but also he's got information that we can actually walk away from you. If we're not being detained, you're not being detained. No. Well, we can just walk away now. But that we could do, but then that's going to make us be he doesn't matter. Well, then you're going to follow us back up the road. You just need to have a better approach next time. All I think so, agree to disagree. I I think that he was very polite. What I'm saying is the actual we must understand. We We We don't have to understand anything. We just if we're doing a lawful activity to go anywhere, we've got to understand each other, aren't we? So, let's The standoff intensifies as he ordered to remind them filming in public is completely lawful. The officers insist they are just being cautious, but he dismantles every claim with confidence and logic. He explains his purpose clearly, documenting public spaces and holding authority accountable. The balance shift when the officers realize they can't intimidate him through vague security talk. His knowledge forces him to rethink their tone. And for the first time, they start listening instead of commanding. What began as a confrontation slowly turns into a reluctant education session in real time. Let's forget about it. Depends on what you you got to understand in this day and age with everything that happens, if we see people filming prominent buildings and stuff like that, we're going to be suspicious. That's a That's a normal thing to think, isn't it? Okay, but in our eyes, why why would you walk by something so interesting and not know? I totally get that. We got two points of view and that's what we're talking about and that's what we're trying to understood. But prior to that conversation, we don't know that, do we? Prior to stopping and chatting to you, we don't know anything about this situation, really. So, until we learn more about the situation, a bit more about what you're doing and why you're here, then we can we're kind of be a bit more like, "Okay, that's fine." Or maybe it's not fine. Until we can ask some questions and have a chat. The guidance says that we don't have to account for what we are doing in a public space. So, basically, if if if what you deem is suspicious just by having a camera and pointing it at your building from an outside perspective. We don't We don't deem that as like cuz we're not doing any anything like out of the order in regards to suspect suspicion. We just have a conversation, can't we? You can. But the guidance does actually say that if about social media vloggers and stuff, it just It basically says that we should be just left alone. Okay? But we are allowed to have a conversation with you. You can have a conversation. But the reason why I was interrupting him is because I couldn't I over I couldn't help over here. You're putting your body cam on. Yeah. Right. Okay. And you're quizzing us about using the same device. All right. We're not pointing it at you in particular. Sensitive police building. That's sensitive. Well, it's like that's like Johnson's baby cream in it. You know, everything's sensitive these days. But you You must understand the way the world works. Yeah. And obviously people want to film police uh buildings, police vehicles for not very good reasons. For for not very nice reasons. Well, we don't know about that cuz we we haven't got that star reconnaissance. Even though you might not be doing that and you might not have that mindset and that might be the furthest thing from your intention, that is still is something that happens in the world. Yeah. Well, hostile. This is where the audit really turns brilliant. The officers claim they're just doing their jobs, but the auditor drops the NPCC guidance. Vloggers and journalists must be left alone when acting lawfully. The way he explains it calmly and with proof in hand shows pure preparation. He even flips the script noting they are filming him without proper notice. Then comes his knockout line. If this was hostile reconnaissance, we wouldn't show our faces. The silence that follows says it all. Logic just defeated authority. It's one of those mic drop audit moments you can't script. Do you get that? Yeah, but hostile reconnaissance, is it done? But is it usually done in this way that we're we've got our faces uncovered? All sorts of ways. There's no way it's not done in this way or that way. But it's not usually done in this way, is it? You know, cuz but basically we've we've we've walked past God knows how many cameras and there's that many cameras today that auto recognition for facial recognition. So we we we believe when we we've been in the town and everything like that. I reckon this the police already know who everybody is anyway cuz we haven't hidden we we haven't hidden ourselves back to coming here. But the thing is as a police officer you can't sit back on your wrist on your laurels and think oh another police officer might know that because they might not work on my you've got to kind of look into things a bit more otherwise we wouldn't be doing our job properly. Yeah, but your job is to to tackle real suspicion and and prevent crime and stuff like that. It's real suspicion then that's fine, isn't it? But until we talk, we can't we don't know that, do we? We don't know that from a distance. We'll just look in until we chat and go hi, how are you? Yeah, chat. It's just then then obviously we learn more information. Until you glean that information as police officers say, you're ignorant. You can't say ignorant. You've got to look into this. No. No, but I don't like to be told like we must understand, you know, like why are you here? It's like if you can have a conversation like fair enough to to explain to you why we're doing what we're doing. That's just us being upfront and honest and saying right, this is what this is where we're coming from. Yeah, well like I say, there's no there's no there's no suspicion. No, that's fine. There's nothing. There's no there's no suspicion. No, that's fine. There's nothing. There's nothing that we're doing that should raise suspicion for you to challenge us filming uh a public building that's paid for by the taxpayers. I would come and have a conversation with any one member of the public that I saw hanging around and filming outside the police building. You would? Just unconscious. So why so why don't you there's nothing wrong with me doing that. There's nothing illegal about me doing that. There's nothing there isn't unwarranted about me doing that. That is just purely me as a policeman to do my job. And if I wasn't doing that, that would be neglected. Is there no chance that you could listen just read the MPC guidelines on on and then that that should doing that. And if you read that the guidance says if if we're not we ain't raising suspicion in regards to the things that you mentioned reconnaissance. Yeah. No. I can see that you know the big T word, you know, and all that stuff. If we don't appear to be that and we're actually filming openly and we're you know, we're not secretly doing stuff then you know, doesn't have to be secret for it to be suspicious. Miss. We you I don't think we like the way we're acting and hanging about for a long period of time. We're not in a risk to go anywhere. No, I I don't think that's how someone would would operate. And we're being totally honest and we're filming. I think there's a car just going to come out of there. Do you want to just we're we're filming for our own recreational. By now the officers realize this isn't a casual bystander. It's someone who knows the law better than they do. The auditor talks about facial recognition, citizen journalism, and how transparency builds accountability, not threats. He maintains total composure while they try to justify overreaching suspicion. Every time they push, he brings them back to policy and public rights. The dialogue feels tense, controlled, like a teacher correcting students mid-lesson. Even the skeptical officer starts to ease up, showing how calm truth can overpower uniformed authority. The shift is subtle but powerful. Totally get that. Yeah, but there's a story as well. Have you you
