you're you're wearing a sheriff's office
shirt you're wearing a definitely not a
driving a cop car that's not a cop car
you're doing private security at Home
Depot you're representing yourself as a
sheriff's deputy you're not here Mutual
aid for the hurricane well sir as a
reserve we can do that as a no no you
have to be on Mutual Aid private
security you're not here Mutual Aid
representing your agency to help us out
during time CU we have we have a lots of
mutual Aid agencies that come here yes
so you're again riding down a road in a
civilian vehicle outfitted like a cop
car with blue lights on there's a
violation sorry about the blue light but
like okay well we're not going to get
past that right now I don't believe you
I'm going to be straight up honest with
you I don't believe it and I will never
I will never put myself in a situation
that I'll be what else you have in the
vehicle other than a car a gun you have
any drugs anything in there no no man
I'm I'm clean I do I do security in
Georgia that's that's just what we do
you know uhhuh um and I'm reserved you
can't do security unless you're reserved
with the sheriff's office he doesn't
know Reserve I went past Captain
Garrison it went to the shareff you know
it's just some people that don't
appreciate you know I mean I've did s
years with these guys right and well for
right now we're going to detain you
period I understand all right so go
ahead and turn around we'll put your
hands behind your back okay can um so
your hand wind you
back all right you need two two sub of
cffs I okay
make he there one on the car there's one
in the car still I got my
B that a security badge or a no that's
my that's my my uh contr Sergeant yeah I
so you w what yeah so now you're I'm
reserved with
count man I know I know how it seems man
it's not like that you
know 101
130 have a seat I'll get you some air
rolling in there
too so you going to have 130 tank yeah
just transport cuz she's got to swap out
her vehicle down at
problem you did say had a 38m yeah and
there's I'll let you search I if you
find anything you find it how stupid can
you I went through Home Depot this
morning I seen that I'm
like no tag so but it was the ferly
trying to hide the identity that it's
not a real C and he's and he's showing
himself as a even and there was another
guy that I didn't see when I first went
through it was a guy wearing a badge gun
on his hip with a sheriff shirt but then
when I came back around is gone so it's
this
security yeah he wants to call the
sheriff cuz the Garrison he doesn't know
that he's Reserve he's en tie with the
sheriff yeah so he can call call him
from the jail even if he's a reserve you
can you can't be doing this can't this
he's out of his jurisdiction yeah from
Georgia
[Applause]
he's play the that yeah without a
doubt the
P5 101 was asking if he can handle
Che 101
cont for
verification there's a brand new store
bought shirt that says
Sheriff let's switch her over him over
to her and throw this ship back in we'll
call sorry I read my BL I I don't do
that you know like I you without and no
tag is kind of like the whole kicker is
we understand your private security I'd
see your cards in there I get all that
got all the sheriff I even get it if you
say you're still a reserved Deputy but
you can't represent yourself as a
sheriff's
deputy as a private security officer you
can't run down the road with a car that
resembles a cop car with blue lights
yeah my verification through the agency
that you were with that you are no
longer employeed so based on all that
this is what we're doing so you are
under arrest for impersonating police
officer okay if you work that out in
court and it all washes out then so be
it at this time that's where we're at
that's what I'm doing that's what's
going on if you just there's nothing I
can do to change it now there's two
weapons in there that I accounted for
the one you were carrying there was also
one in the console I have both those
we're going to go into evidence I'm
asking you please like this is a big
state and you talk to the wrong person I
talked to a captain of Ro Patrol I
talked to several people Captain
Garrison Captain Garrison does not he
does not know sir you still have no
jurisdiction down here to be running
around with BL lights even if that were
the case yeah you're outside of your St
yes it goes right back to what I just
said you're working as private security
but you're you're wearing all these
Sheriff's insignias you represented
yourself to me when I stopped you as a
sheriff sergeant not as a private
security from Georgia but not as private
security you said oh we're here working
you are as private security I understand
Georgia but you can't represent yourself
as a
sheriff so I can't represent myself
as from Georgia being deployed Down Home
Depot no you're not deployed as Mutual
Aid you're here doing private contract
that's two different things I got all
right go ahead and have a seat for me
next
