And that's what's going on. >> Next time you cause her attention to come off that deputy and speak to you, you are going in handcuffs. You're going to jail. >> Hello, Moon. You have a voluntary choice in this situation. Moon. Welcome back to the Lackluster channel. [music] In early November of 2025, a viewer named Bee received a call from his fiance informing him she had been involved in a minor traffic accident. Be arrived at the scene shortly after to assist with the vehicle. Several deputies of the Citrus County Sheriff's Office then responded and turned the accident into a DUI investigation, telling Be to stand back, which is when he began recording. It's voluntary. >> Sir, stop talking. >> I'm allowed to talk. I'm in public. Sir, >> you keep If you keep interrupting this deputy, >> I'm not interrupting anybody. >> You keep interrupting this deputy, you will find yourself in handcuffs going to jail. >> I'm not interrupting him. I'm speaking I'm free speaking publicly. Am I speaking publicly freely? >> That's my question. >> It's voluntary. You don't have to participate. The deputies now moved the driver behind their vehicles to prevent Bee from recording them and advising his fiance of her rights. >> You can refuse. >> You can refuse. >> It's not interfering. I'm in public. >> Causing her to talk. >> I'm in public investigation. Listen, let me let me explain something. Explain all you want. There's something called the Halo law. Are you clear of that? Right. >> Are you clear of that? >> Elaborate. >> Okay. So, you got to stay 25 ft back and not interfere not interfere with us. >> Florida's Halo Law refers to a statute that went into effect in 2024. The law makes it a crime to approach or remain within 25 ft of an officer who is performing certain duties after being warned to stay back. However, the statute explicitly requires a men's RIA element. The person must willfully impede, provoke, or harass an officer and refuse to comply with the dispersal order. Speech [music] alone is not impeding. Furthermore, the statute does not allow officers to create a speech-free zone. This means verbal criticism, commentary, and even giving instructions cannot be criminalized. >> Am I allowed to express myself first amendment? Listen to me real closely. Listen to me real closely. Does the halo right trump my listen to me? >> I'm asking you listen to me. >> I'm asking you. >> No, you you because you're interrupting with the investigation. You're going to explain to you, but you won't just shut up and listen. >> I'm literally willing to shut up and listen. I'm asking a question. >> Shut up. >> Does the halo do whatever this halo thing is, does it trump my first amendment right to speak in public freely? >> Okay, so listen to me. >> Does it trump my first amendment right? >> That's the first part of it. That's my question. That's the first That's my first. Okay. >> The second one is called He's trying to tell you, but you won't shut up. >> Is that Does it trump my first amendment right now? >> Okay. Every time cuz from what I'm my understanding is that you keep interjecting. Okay. And that's what's going on. But here's Listen to me. Listen. Can you let me talk for two seconds? >> I'm letting you talk. >> I don't need to let you talk. You can just talk. >> All right. We're done. Next next time you cause her attention to come off that deputy, you can just talk. Next time you cause her attention to come off that deputy and speak to you, you are going in handcuffs. You're going to jail. Okay. Am I being clear? >> Fair enough. >> Perfect. >> So, I have no first amendment right heard. >> You are interrupting the moon investigation. >> So, when I talk to the moon with the investigation, >> if I talk to the moon, >> you are interrupting with the investigation. >> I talk to the moon. >> Okay, whatever. We're done with >> Hello, Moon. You have a voluntary choice in this situation, Moon. I have a first amendment 25 ft. Get out of here. >> [ __ ] really. >> Oh, hey. You go ahead and get back in the vehicle. >> I'm in public. >> Go to jail. Get back in the vehicle. >> Am I in public? >> Okay. because you're going to learn real quick about case law. Get back in the vehicle. >> I'm asking you >> get back in. It doesn't matter. >> So, you're giving me an order. What is the justice? >> Because this is a >> you first you said 25 ft, didn't you? >> You said 25 ft. >> I'm asking you a question. Are you changing your orders? >> Are the laws changing all of a sudden? >> What is your justification to have me get back in the vehicle? I'm not doing anything. I'm recording. >> I'll happily leave if I legally have to. >> If I legally have to, I'll leave. >> Is this a >> 22? >> Okay, so you're good cuz it's not a traffic stop. >> Okay, but you have got to stop. >> Stop what? >> Okay. Interjecting. >> I did. >> You have got to stop interjecting. >> I did. >> Okay. So, stop because every time you come over here and you run your mouth. Okay. He's trying to conduct his investigation. You're taking her attention off of what he's doing. Okay. Are we clear? >> I understand. But I'm talking to the moon. >> Okay. And she's told you to stop, too. >> Okay. Well, I >> So, stop. Just stop. Just stop. >> Fair enough. Why are you on such a trip, bro? >> No, it's no it's no trip. That The thing is, you're not understanding. We were trying to conclude our investigation. Okay. And if nothing's going on, you guys are free to go. But once we're done, All I did was tell her things were optional. I'm allowed to tell her that something's optional. That's all I did. I'm just standing here. I'm not trying to give you guys problems. >> Sir, he's conducting an investigation. >> Of course. >> Okay. Obviously, yes, you have your right to freedom speech. >> Thank you. >> Totally understandable. Yeah. However, during this investigation, >> if she unfocuses from this investigation >> and focuses on you, >> fair enough. >> You're going to go to jail for obstruction. >> Obstruction. >> You're obstructing this investigation. >> That's obstruction. >> Correct. Because we've told you there's an active investigation going on right now >> that requires her attention. >> Okay. >> Okay. If you want to sit over here, you can film, do whatever you're thinking. Fair enough. You can do all that. That's obstruction. The problem is is when you start screaming and you start yelling or talking or whatever and it causes her to lose attention to the investigation. >> Yeah. >> To come to you, >> that is obstruction because you've been told. Okay. >> Though the third deputy to approach was polite, it is now seemingly apparent that not a single deputy on scene respects the constitution or understands the elements of obstruction. The Florida courts have ruled repeatedly [music] that obstruction requires actual material interference, not annoyance, criticism, or disrespect. [music] Words alone do not constitute obstruction without including threats of violence. The deputies are weaponizing a statute to silence advice unfavorable to their pursuit of a DUI. >> That's what it boils down to. >> Fair enough. I I will take your word on that and respect it. >> Thank you. I appreciate you at least stepping aside and trying to appreciate my concerns. >> Yes, sir. >> Thank you. Have a good evening. You >> too. >> Their repeated threats of arresting be for speaking provoked his silence long enough to allow the investigating officer to convince his fiance to perform the optional field sobriety tests. However, it should be noted that refusing the tests can contribute to probable cause, but is insufficient alone for an arrest. [music] Field sobriety tests are unreliable, subjective, and designed for failure. And after completing them, Bee's fiance was placed under arrest. Can I drive her car home? >> I'm just asking you. Can I drive her car home? >> All right. Of course. [ __ ] dicks. >> Now, after [music] filming the scene for 35 minutes, be asks a few questions and the deputies manufacture a reason to arrest him. >> Do you have consent to search the vehicle? >> Not searching the vehicle, sir. >> Can I move the vehicle? >> Hey, you're not going to stand like that with your hand in your pocket. Get your hand out of your pocket. Thank you. Okay, [ __ ] high strong over here. >> Realizing the deputy is now barking unlawful orders to a bystander under the guise of possessing a weapon, bee flipped his pockets inside out and set his headphones and other personal belongings on the ground in front of him. This was the basis the deputies used to arrest him for criminal littering. >> I'll do my job, bud. >> Do my job. >> Does it help you here? I'll empty my pockets. >> Stop. Just stop. >> It's empty. Look. Boom. Bro, >> good. >> There you go. You scared? You scared of this? >> Literally nothing. Empty pockets. >> Actually, uh, you got your ID on you? >> I don't. >> Okay. What's your name? >> I don't give it to you because I'm in public. >> I'm not going to jail because >> What's your name? >> We're not a stop in state ID. >> Does it matter? >> It does. I'm not. >> Guess what? You just what? You're going to jail. You refuse to ID yourself. You're going to jail. I put your cuffs on this. >> Bee had memorized his driver's license number and recited it for the deputies after he was advised that he was under arrest. His camera was shut off as the men put him in cuffs. At his first court appearance, the littering citation was immediately dropped and replaced with an obstruction charge for not identifying. This is ridiculous for several reasons. First, the deputies documented his recited identification number on the littering citation, proving that he identified. Second, since the littering charge was bogus and likely only used to retaliate by abusing the process as a punishment for exercising his constitutional rights, then there was no lawful reason requiring be to provide his ID in the first place. Be appeared in court for the charge in early December and now has a pre-trial hearing on New Year's Eve. As always, I'll provide updates as they become available, but I'm always curious to hear what you think of these encounters. So, let me know how you feel in the comments down below.
