Your contact is non-consensual. >> It is It isn't consensual. This is not a consensual encounter. You are detained. This is not a consensual >> For what What crime am I being detained for? For filming a child. For filming a child. Yes. Are you for real, dude? What articulable reasonable suspicion of a crime have I committed that made you detain me, sir? Why Why do I continue to answer that question specifically if I've already made that >> Cuz you haven't stated a law that says I can't film a child in public. >> to film a child. Are you ridiculous, dude? >> A man was recording in public when an officer suddenly pulled up with lights on and turned it into a stop, claiming the camera was pointed at a child. The man immediately questioned what law justified that claim, making it clear he wasn't going to accept vague explanations. The officer struggled to clearly explain the supposed violation, shifting his reasoning while still keeping the detention in place. Even as he admitted filming in public was allowed, he continued trying to hold the situation together, creating a contradiction that only raised more questions. As a supervisor got involved, the entire stop started to fall apart in a way the officer couldn't recover from. Watch how this encounter spiraled once the law was actually put to the test. How are we doing? How are we doing? Your contact is non-consensual, sir. Um you see those lights? This isn't consensual. So, I'm stopping you because you're filming the kid, okay?

Like how Why would you ask the question if you're not going to let me answer? Mr. Why? Why even ask the question then? Does that make sense? Does that make sense to ask a question and then not allow anybody to answer? Okay. So, just so you understand since I didn't get to say it when I initially started talking to you.

I'm I know that you can see it, but it's Officer Horton, badge number ZH462. Okay. Anything else I can answer for you before I go back to my question? >> What articulable reasonable suspicion of a crime have I committed that made you detain me, sir? >> why Why do I continue to answer that question specifically if I've already made >> Cuz you haven't stated a law that says I can't film a child in public. >> to film a child. >> Are you ridiculous, dude? >> illegal to film children. It is. Do you have that parent's consent to film that child? Do you have that parent's consent to film their child? I didn't think so. Okay.

I was just illegally detained. What is wrong with y'all, man? The officer tried to stretch a situation into something it clearly wasn't, holding the stop together with excuses that didn't match the law. The moment a supervisor showed up, everything changed and the detention disappeared just as fast as it started. No charges, no explanation, just another example of how quickly things fall apart when the law actually gets questioned.
