People lie to us all the time. >> And you guys were allowed to lie to us by law. >> Hold on a second, bro. >> For all I know, >> I don't like being called a liar, bro. >> I tried to have this conversation with you. You won't let me, right? >> I mean, yeah. It just seemed like my ID was a lot more important than >> So, first of all, by law, we're allowed to ID anyone who's been detained. >> Did they give you a ticket? >> No. >> Oh, that's it. What the? He's hoping we got something on the truck, too. Look at him. He's sad, bro. The officers showed up after neighbors complained that an RV had been parked on the street for too long and pointed to expired tags. From the moment they arrived, they tried to assert control, claiming the owner was being detained and demanding identification. The owner calmly explained the situation, showing that the RV was legally registered, had valid temporary tags, and that he had planned to move it the next day. Despite repeated attempts to escalate, the owner questioned their authority, refused unnecessary commands, and held his ground while explaining his rights. The officers argued about minor registration details and tried to turn a civil matter into a power struggle. But the owner remained firm, exposing their lack of professionalism and control. Watch how the RV owner maintained authority over the encounter while the officers floundered and struggled to justify their actions. >> Can you come out? >> Hey, how's it going? Hi. >> What's your guys' names? >> Uh, for what? >> Uh, well, right now you guys are not legally parked. Um, car can't be here this long. So, you're just being detained for code. That's it. I just want to have a conversation with you guys about this. So, since you guys being detained, I have legal right to know you guys' name right now. I'm not asking for your full name. I just want to make sure >> for what? We moved the RV when we were to move it. >> Okay, boss. What's your first name? >> I still don't know what's going on. >> I I literally just told you. >> I don't see. So, we've been getting complaints from all your neighbors saying, "Hey, this RV has been here constantly." And >> it's not a civil thing, but a criminal matter. >> It does become a criminal matter cuz violating unit code if it's been here too long. Now, I don't know, but I'm trying to conduct an investigation. >> Okay. Well, my mom lives on this street and we're usually there with her, but during co we ended up buying this. >> Okay, that's fine. >> And we're working on it, fixing it. So, >> it is registered by the way. >> I know. >> So, your two things. One, your registration is expired. two, you have both actually. Actually, um, >> we just ran it. >> No, no, hold on. Um, can I explain? >> Hold on. Let me >> Okay, I'll let you I'll let you speak. No, no, yeah, go ahead. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. >> So, first thing, I just ran the plate. >> Mhm. >> So, according to the DMV, >> is it expired? And it expired in June, but you have tags for December. So, you have false tags on here now. >> Okay. Uh, I did just recently uh get it uh from an uncle that moved to Mexico. He left it to me. Um, and I do have registrations for it. Current registrations for it. Um, I >> provide that regist. >> Yes, I can. Yes, I can. Can you hold this here? >> Of course. >> Give me just one second. Oh. Oh, >> should have been uh the other way. Names and badge numbers, please. Lope. >> I mean, you could just say it instead of just saying that. >> 487. >> Thank you very much. Costa, >> I'll give you I'll give you a piece of paper with it on >> for sure. Yeah. And I'm just looking for professionalism, man. >> You're all good. >> What was it? >> I didn't give it yet. >> Okay. I haven't committed a crime. >> Well, right now you are. >> So, granted, it's a minor crime, but it is a crime. So, in the sake of professionalism, >> Well, she's getting you the registration, >> correct? But the registration is one thing. You still have to have the proper tags on the back. >> Do not have the proper tag. >> We can't get those until we smog it. No, we can't get that till we smog it. So, we got the temp. Yes, that's the DMV told us to do. >> We went to the DMV and got it all handled. >> Thing. So, I've never met you before. >> I'm going to put some shoes on real quick so I can step out. I've never met you before, right? Obviously, because otherwise I would be asking your name. >> And so I have no idea whether or not I can trust you cuz I've literally never met you. >> And it's until proven guilty, man. That's kind of messed up. You know what I'm saying? >> Well, that's not what I'm saying. There's nothing there's nothing criminal about lying, right? To an extent. >> Well, I know you guys are allowed to lie to us. >> People lie to people lie to us all the time. >> And you guys are allowed to lie to us by law. >> Hold on a second, bro. >> For all I know, >> I don't like being called a liar, bro. >> Everything you guys are saying is a lie. It could be the truth. We don't know. >> We have no reason to lie. And there goes my sister right there. >> Still currently under investigation. >> And my sister and probably my mom, too. See if they pull over. Yep. >> We still got to do our job, bro. >> Yeah, I know. I mean, your job is to uphold the constitution, not to do petty freaking, you know, tickets and stuff. That's >> We wouldn't be here if we didn't get a phone call. >> I mean, that's that's fine. >> Show up. >> I know. But also, you shouldn't detain people without an actual crime, man. >> I've explained it several times. The vehicle >> I know. And we're both cop watchers and activists and we know what's going on. >> So, you know what the vehicle code says about tags, right? >> Yeah. And we everything's good. Look, she's handing your partner the paperwork right there. >> There's not an exception for what the DMV says. >> He's getting her ID right now. So, >> like his insurance. >> So, you understand how the law works. You also understand that when we show up, we still need to determine if a crime has actually occurred. >> But you you don't detain until after that. >> That's not true. >> You can't detain before you know a crime's committed. Man, >> I have reasonable cause to believe a crime has been committed. articulable suspicion that a crime has or will come on rights that are not valid. >> That is reasonable cause, right? Cuz I haven't met you guys. >> You haven't seen us driving either. >> No, but it's still parking on public. >> Yeah, this actually private neighborhood. >> This is a public I know public. We pay for this. >> This is a public >> and our taxes pay for it. >> Okay. Which is fine. But >> that's like saying we have to can't stand here. You know what I'm saying? Like >> is that what I'm saying? And I even >> The only reason we're parked here is cuz our uh our black water tank isn't attached. >> So if we move it, it'll fall. >> And our mechanic's coming to fix it. He was supposed to be here today, but it's getting late. So >> And I can understand that, but I don't know that until now. Right. >> I know. And I mean I I just, you know, I don't like answering too many questions. I I'll give the information I'm willing to give. You know what I'm saying? >> When we are investigating a violation, >> you don't have to yell at me. I'm not raising my voice, man. >> Okay. But I'm trying to say something and you're talking over me. That's why I'm raising my voice. >> Okay, but that doesn't help get your point across. >> Neither does cutting off my partner. >> All right, I'm Have I drawn any weapons on you? >> You don't have to. The the the the threat's already implied. >> So, here's here's what I'm going to say. So, you my partner took it all out. So, you guys are in violation. We're going to let the let the slide. You guys do need to move it, though, because if we're getting calls, it's been here for a while. You told me it was here for 3 or 4 days. >> Okay. >> Do I have to move it today? Uh because like I said, like I was telling your partner, I was planning to be going tomorrow. >> So that's how you guys are grown adults. >> Yeah. >> The paperwork says you can't move. You can only move it if you're going to take it to smoke, >> which I was already planning to do tomorrow. >> So if another officer or we see it moving and if you're not going to smug, >> you know, you can be pulled over and then it might get tote. >> Okay. So that's why I'm asking, do I need to move it today? Uh >> like what is move like 10 feet, 20 feet a block? on it. Go ahead. >> Honestly, >> cuz when uh they left the thing on us, they put the chalk on it and all they said we have to move it like a block away to know that it runs. >> That's all you got to do. >> That's all we did. >> Per municipal code. That's all you got. All right. >> Okay. That's exactly what we did, but you know, fine. But again, you just told me it's been here for 3 or 4 days, right? >> Okay. And you could have move it. >> I tried to have this conversation with you. You won't let me, right? >> I mean, yeah. It just seemed like my ID was a lot more important than >> Okay. So, can I explain the ID thing for a second? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Without you cutting me off? >> Sure. Okay. So, first of all, by law, we're allowed to ID anyone who's been detained. Now, I'm not going to go back and forth with you getting out of the detention. It's just the fact matter. Okay? >> Number two, there's several reasons why we ID people. One reason is simply as it's as simple as, hey, you mist traffic court a few times. You have a court date for warrants is what you're saying. >> We're searching for warrants. We're searching to see if you're a suspect on anything else. And we do this for literally everybody. We do this for old grandma. We do this for >> constitutional as well. It's not. >> You can take the law. Yeah. No, we got >> So, okay. Again, to my question, do I have to move it today or can I just leave it here for today and then do what I have to do tomorrow? >> Because we're getting phone calls about it. >> Okay. Check this city and let >> we get another phone call. We have to come back out. >> Okay, that's perfectly fine. I just wanted to my answer uh my question answered. How far do I need to move it? >> I would just move it around the block. >> Okay. >> Uh that way because again, if you have neighbors around here who are going to keep seeing it, we're going to have to call come back out here. If you guys moved it, awesome. But I just recommend so we don't have to have this interaction again. >> No. Yeah. Believe me, I I'm I've been the one trying to like get this whole done and over with. >> Don't like just move it down the street. Just move it a block or two. >> Mhm. >> Call it a day. >> There's like four or five on this. >> I haven't been called about the RV today. I mean, >> you didn't have our license either, right? >> You want to see the uh You want to see the cat event where we got called? >> I mean, yeah, it's like the paperwork that you detained me and everything and ran my ID. >> Well, we don't have paperwork for it. I'll give you a case. >> Yeah, give me a case card and all that stuff. Do you want to see the event that shows why we came out here? >> No, I'm good. >> And then can I have uh each of your guys' business cards? >> Did they give you a ticket? >> No, they gave me another >> Oh, that's it. What the >> And then there he's hoping we got something on the truck, too. Look at him. He's sad, bro. This is how you guys uh This is how you do it right now. >> Yeah, they're running your plate for no reason. >> Oh, that's nice. >> 100% legit. They hate it when people are legit. You guys are dismissed. Got nothing else going on. No, no criminals. Actually, you know, you >> looking at my car, too. >> Well, yeah, I know. It's public, right? >> They said I couldn't call my lawyer. >> They said you couldn't call your lawyer. Oh, is that right? >> Hey, can we get Can we get that again? You >> names and badge numbers. >> Oh, you guys answer questions now. Ch. >> He's hoping he's getting my name. He's running my plate right now. >> Hey, you know, >> whatever. >> Is that your dad's joy? >> Let me stuff out real quick. All right. >> They can't get us for for jaywalking. There's no crosswalks in. >> Be right back, baby. >> That's the third one, bro. The officers left frustrated, completely exposed by how the RV owner handled the situation. Despite repeated attempts to intimidate and escalate minor issues, the owners stayed calm, followed the law, and refused to give them unnecessary control. Their investigation ended with nothing to show, highlighting their mistakes and leaving the owner in control of the encounter.
