What am I being detained for? >> The the package. >> What do you suspect me of committing crime? >> Oh, I don't suspect you of commit. I mean, >> so why am I being detained? >> Checking out what's going on. >> Uh, you ID on you. >> If you suspect me of committing a crime, then I will surrender my ID. Every time I speak to officers, I tell them, I say, "You guys are law enforcement, not feelings officers. >> You should be ashamed of yourself. You guys are violating my rights. You know, I didn't do anything wrong." And I asked you, "What are you suspecting me of?" Then you went straight over to, "Oh, you parked like this. Come on, bro. That's bullshit." Police stopped an Amazon delivery driver while he was finishing deliveries and immediately detained him over a claimed package theft. The man took control of the encounter by repeatedly asking what crime he was suspected of. Officers admitted on camera that they did not believe he committed any crime, yet continued holding him anyway. He stayed focused, demanded clear answers, and pointed out that detention without suspicion was unlawful. As officers struggled to explain themselves and shifted reasons, the man exposed every contradiction in real time and forced them to justify their actions on the record. >> What am I being detained for? >> Officer. >> Oh, he took it out of the package. >> And also, what's your name and badge number? >> Francine 212. We're just like I said, we're conducting an investigation right now. Possible. >> And what do you what do you suspect me of committing? What crime? >> Oh, I don't suspect you of commit. I mean, >> so why am I being detained? checking out what's going on right now with the camera and >> but if I'm not committing a crime, why are you holding me as detainment? >> Once we clear, you'll be good, man. Like I said, >> but he already checked and he already got the story from the other lady. >> She said that she thought maybe I took something, but I dropped the package off. >> They're going to go check the cameras now. So, >> okay, that's fine. >> You know, we'll be out of here shortly. So, that's >> that's fine. I got to record this because I can't have my calling supervisor. let them know that there was a misunderstanding and that's what caused it. I understand you're on a time limit. Yes. >> You know, with the playing. So, I totally get it, man. So, like I said, if you need, I'll call you the load out you're out of. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, if you want to give me a number before uh you know, you leave >> and I'll make >> Yeah. If they if they if they ask me something, then I will I will tell them what happened and I will give them I'll give your guys apartment number to them and they'll call figure out what happened. >> Yeah, no problem, man. It's a misunderstanding. I just got to record this just for records purposes. You know what I'm saying? >> Man, no problem. >> We all got our own. >> I got to buy the camera on too. >> Yeah. >> So, >> everything's re-recorded. But the thing is it costs money to get to get that to get that film. That's why I like to record for my own purposes. So, if some vi rights were being violated, then you know, obviously I'd be having to have this a civil lawsuit and I have my own recordings for that purposes. >> What's up, buddy? What's going on? >> All right. What? >> Just trying to confirm that everything is matches up. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh, UAD on you. >> What's your name and badge number? >> My name and badge number. >> Sergeant moan 186. >> 186. Okay. >> Yes, sir. >> Uh, you have ID on you >> for what? >> Oh, we're investigating a uh a possible theft of a package. >> Okay. But obviously I'm working so that doesn't fit me. >> Do you suspect me of stealing of a package? >> Listen, we need that call. We we didn't we got >> I know you're not doing that. I know. But you guys are law enforcement. And that's what I every time I speak to officers, I tell them. I say, "You guys are law enforcement, not feelings officers." >> These people feelings enforcement officers. Yeah. Feelings enforcement. Feelings offic. >> Yeah. Cuz you know people, they have feelings and they like to call for silly things, which is obviously this is not a crime. I'm doing my job. He knows I'm doing my job. The other guy knows I'm doing my job. >> There's nothing else going on. >> Okay. If if you suspect me if you suspect me of committing a crime, then I will surrender my ID. And if you are detaining me as well, then I'll be staying here. But if I am not being detained, if I you don't suspect me of committing a crime. >> My turn to talk. You're being detained. >> Okay. >> Okay. You are being detained. >> And what And what are you detaining? >> We're investigating. I told you already. Investigating. >> What do you suspect me of commit? What crime? >> Can you can you let him talk? >> Investigating a theft of a package. >> Okay. And you suspect me of stealing a package right now? is being detained. >> Do you suspect me of stealing? >> Hold on a second. I'm talking. You're being detained for investigation of a particular package. >> Yeah. Your investigation has a second with my rights. >> Hold on a second. >> Okay. We didn't just come up on you. We got from a from a homeowner. >> Okay. >> I don't know. I can't track your calls. I would have to do that on my own time. >> We got cold here from a homeowner that came up on their their doorbell. >> Yeah. of of a person matching your description that came up with a package and you walk in with a package. That's it. >> So, we deal this whole time and then we clear it and then you're on your way ID. We make sure the thing is there's a disconnect between the public and police officers because of reasons like this. You guys say, "Okay, this happens. This happens." Then you have to ID someone for not committing a crime. That's that does not stop an ID state. You can't just say, "You have to show me your ID cuz I want to see who you are." or something. >> You can't do that. You know what I'm saying? >> You're investigating. >> You're your department. You're wasting my time. You're wasting your own time. >> You're wasting my time. You know I didn't do anything wrong and you guys are holding me here. >> Why do you think that we're I told you the reason why we're here? >> I understand. >> You don't understand. >> I do understand. You guys said that you come here for a call. Obviously, I'm not the guy. >> Has Amazon driver ever stolen? has any um >> I don't know about I don't know about other other places but my department and I know and it's never happened in my department >> they have okay >> this how you usually drive on this side of the road >> I had to cuz I had to drop a heavy package on this side >> I'm just telling you >> and I pulled up >> this is how you usually drive >> cuz I had to deliver right here >> I'm just saying >> you want to lift 100 pound packages from the other side you know every time that's >> you want me to do my job you're driving on the wrong side of the Look at I don't This guy's parked in the middle of the road for police officers. Okay. >> Doesn't matter though. You still can't break the rules just like everyone else. >> Okay. >> Now there's a title 39 of violation. >> But he's blocking me. So I couldn't move. >> You're on the wrong side of the road. >> But I dropped a package off. He blocked me. >> I don't want I don't want a problem. >> You do want a problem. Look, man. You guys are going to violate my rights because you know that I did not commit a crime. You don't you can't articulate the way you can't articulate that I committed a crime. >> So, you're going way over. >> How do you suspect? >> No, because I hate getting violated. I hate when my rights get violated. I have nothing on my Huh? >> We got cold of >> Stop shining the light in my face. >> You could light up the area. It's dark. >> No, it's not. You're an idiot. You don't even know what you're doing. >> It's not dark. >> You're just a fool with a badge. Listen to your sergeant. All right, sir. >> Tell him to stop shining the light in my hand over your your ID. Now, >> listen to me. You were detained for the theft of the package. You're also on the wrong side of the tunnel 39. >> So, so you think that I committed the crime of stealing a package, >> buddy? I'm talking to you right now. >> So, do you want to search Do you want to search here for that house? >> I don't want to search it. >> So then, how do you how do you figure that I stole something, but you won't even check to see if I stole it? What is the point of asking for an ID then? I start this conversation by wanting to know who you were and then it went it went crazy. >> Yeah, it went crazy because I >> I haven't even started my investigation yet. >> So then you just said you started an investigation. >> I'm trying to figure out who you are, what you do, what happened, what this conversation started with you saying, I'm not giving my ID. You're violating my rights >> because I didn't commit any crime. >> True or false? >> But I didn't I didn't commit any crime. >> I don't have to give an ID if I didn't commit a crime. Julia, >> you know that as a sergeant. You know that. You took a test. >> Listen to me now. You took a test. >> I know ID. >> You have ID on yours now. >> Of course, I have my ID. >> I'm handing it over. I'm going to ask you to step out of the vehicle. Step out of the vehicle. >> Okay. >> I'm recording this. >> I record everything. >> Okay. >> What am I? >> Of course. >> One more time. >> Of course I have a license. >> Child on top of it. You have a license on you? >> Of course I have. >> Okay. Can we see the license? >> And and what is the title? >> 4-135. Improper parking. You parked on the wrong side of the road. >> But that's not what you were called for. And he blocked me. So, how how am I supposed to >> We were called there. You were parked here before we got here. >> Are you going to turn over your license? >> You just want to You just want to look going to turn over your license. >> If you suspect me of committing a crime, then I will show you my license. >> You're inv you're in a motor vehicle violation. >> How many times you suspect me of stealing that package from a man's investigation and toleration? You have ID or no? >> Okay. You suspect me of committing a crime? I will hand over my ID. >> Here you go. >> Say that. >> This is a public sidewalk. >> Huh? >> Tell what happened with the house. >> What do you mean with the house? >> You said you didn't the pack. You dropped the packages off what at 11:25, correct? >> Yes, I delivered packages. >> All right. So, the caller said that you walked away with a package and that's why I >> I carried like three or four packages to the houses. I drop off. I go to the next house. >> Okay, >> that's it. And I told him, I said, I hold a couple packages at once. I can't hold I'm not going to go one by one. >> You talk too much. You talk too much. You just wanted me to explain. You just wanted me to explain. Okay. Listen. And now I talk to this officer. >> What are you going to talk to guys, bro? >> Okay. This listen to me. So, this officer didn't talk to the caller yet. >> He had no clue what the caller saw. >> So, then why are you guys coming to me then, >> dude? All right. Don't even worry about it. Yeah. >> No, no, whatever. I can I can get the call. >> Okay. >> Everything is covered. I can get the call. >> I saw the video. Let's see what you can do. >> I'm going to >> I just want to understand why would she even call the cops. If she got her own package, she knows what she gets. It says it on the app. It says what they get. They can see if it's for them or not. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't make any sense. And if she could really check in her camera, she can see me walk with the package to go across the street and drop it off in the next house. I want to be friendly with police officers. I have family as police officers. My mom's a lawyer, you know. I go hard in this stuff, bro. I believe in I believe in the Constitution, bro. Where your family work your family work? >> Where does she work? >> Where does your family work in law enforcement? >> My uncle, he's actually a state trooper in New York. >> New York. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Ryan Delaney. >> Okay. >> Look him up. >> You look him up. >> Why would I have to look him up? >> I want to look him up. >> Why do you want to know? >> He'll be ashamed of how you talk to people. >> Ashamed. You should be ashamed of yourself. You guys are violating my rights. You know I didn't do anything wrong. And I asked you to say I asked you how did I commit a crime? What are you suspect me of? Then you went straight over to Oh, you parked like this. Come on, bro. That's Your your department does not override the constitution. You guys can do certain things. That's it. You can't do that though. So you guys are trying to make something out of nothing. That's what it is. I don't know if you guys are bored. You have no crime to fight in this town. Maybe all these people, they don't do nothing. Whatever. But obviously, you see that I'm working, so this is a waste of time. You don't like the light on you, huh? >> You don't like it. >> So why do you shine it in my face? >> Cuz it's dark out, dude. >> Bro, you see me sitting there and have the light on in the car. You can see that there's nothing going on. You doing that piss me off, bro. I don't like I'm not going to get treated like that by you guys, bro. We pay your salary for all the people. You pay taxes. >> That's your priority. >> Thank you. I appreciate that, by the way. >> So, you know that you don't disrespect them because you have a gun and a badge. You're supposed to look up to the guy. >> I'm put all of this stuff, man. >> You are. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, these guys said that right. We can educate you on how police work is done. >> Yeah. How how to violate people's rights. >> How to waste time. Don't worry, man. We'll have our own issues later on down the line. I got your guys' badge numbers. So I come after you guys each one by one. >> You guys are going to think all the game. >> You could have let you could have you could have let me go cuz obviously you see I had nothing doing wrong. But it's it's the ego that you guys have behind that badge. You guys want to take it to the next level for no reason. It's going to get posted on YouTube and it's going to get hundreds of thousands of views. You guys are going to see that one day. >> We have it on tape too. Yeah, we have on tape too. Nothing wrong. and you'll look at it and you'll be like, "Damn, this is the day I my life >> and it sucks by one person. Don't say that it was the other person. It's all on you. You had the opportunity to be a good officer, but you did it. You chose to be like this. You chose to be corrupt." >> The encounter ended with officers finding nothing and releasing him without charges, citations, or evidence. Throughout the stop, he controlled the direction of the conversation by demanding lawful answers and refusing to accept vague claims. Officers admitted there was no crime and could not justify the detention.
