In this video, two Mesa officers spent their entire shift stalking a man who had broken no laws. They trailed him through parking lots, circled blocks, waited across the street, and kept trying to box him in, hoping he would slip just once so they could manufacture a stop. The moment he pulled over to ask why they were following him, they exposed themselves even more. One officer admitted they ran his plate for no reason, and another claimed he was acting strange simply because he noticed he was being followed. Instead of protecting anyone, they profiled him for his tattoos and kept building new excuses every time he challenged their story. What started as pure harassment ended as a complete embarrassment for the officers. Let's watch how they humiliated themselves trying to justify stalking an innocent man. >> There I go. Let's see if they come after me. Oh, look. They're right here now. Now they're right here. Look, they're about to pass. Here he is. I'm being harassed by two cops right now. Yep, there he is again. He's not even going here. Come on. Okay. He doesn't want me to go. This is him again. trying to harass me. Just trying to harass me. Here, I'll show you again. Look, there they are. There they are trying to harass me. >> So, they did just circle around. I drove about a mile away. They circled around and followed me. We circled around this McDonald's parking lot right here twice and they parked over there so they could try to catch me. Now they're pulling out. But that's them right there. Look, zoom in. Those are the two cops. Two cops that were harassing me, following me around, trying to see if I was going to do anything illegal or bad. >> Yeah, but there's literally no reason for me to be trespassed. I pulled in because I need to get groceries. I was on my way here from the beginning and they followed me. So, I had to pull over multiple times. I shouldn't feel like I have to pull in somewhere to hide from you guys because you're harassing me. >> So, you're >> I truly felt like I was going to get brutalized by him and his partner. They were following me everywhere. I have no reason to be followed. I have tattoos on my face. And as soon as he seen me driving by, he told that, "Hey, that guy right there thinking I had something illegal or thinking that I'm some kind of person because I'm a tattoo artist and I have tattoos. I work hard for my money. I pay my taxes and there's no reason for you to come and mess with me. You're supposed to serve and protect. Says that [ __ ] on your car, doesn't it? >> You guys are here to serve and protect. What kind of honorable cop are you to mess with me for no reason? My license is good. My registration's good. My insurance is good. The only reason you're pulling me over is cuz I was on the phone outside because I didn't want you stopped me. You came over to me and stopped me. I was on the call with dispatch because I was a fear for my life. That's not trespassing. You're trying to get me to get in my car so that you can get me to drive off so that you can pull me over yet again or follow me yet again and harass me and I'm not going to deal with it. >> I have a right to walk around and drive around where I want. >> Well, you started walking. >> You are trespassing though >> because I was on the phone with dispatch and I thought you were going to come to me. So, I was and I felt safer because you were here. I felt like these two were going to make something up, beat me up, whatever the case may be. On top of that, I had a gun on my hip. I'm not about to stop for two cops that are harassing me with a gun on my hip. You weren't trying to stop me. >> I pulled over. Well, before you could get to that point, I pulled over. That's the thing. You weren't trying to stop. >> Then why were you following me? That's harassment. You're following me all over. >> So, >> I have videos of you in McDonald's. I have videos you pulling back out of Speedy Cash. I have videos of you guys driving down that way, driving up here, and taking a video. >> I took a video of it all. >> And hey, you should especially when you're when you're acting strange. Okay. >> Nobody's acting strange. You were acting strange. I wasn't You made another right. And then you asked me if I had an issue. Is it illegal for me to drive? >> It's not illegal for me to drive anywhere. And it's not illegal for me to act suspicious. >> It's not illegal for me to act suspicious. I can act suspicious. Maybe I'm a weirdo. >> That's why I didn't stop you. >> Can I put my wallet away so I don't get shot by you? >> I'm not going to shoot you. >> Who knows? I don't know you. You're right. You're profiling. >> I don't know you. >> Yeah, exactly. That's why you're profiling me. Cuz if you did know me, you would know that I'm a good dude that doesn't get in trouble. And once you're on that record, you'll see I don't have a record. And it's all over from there because I did get profiled. I do have tattoos on my face. I had my windows down and I watched you look at me passing country club. I went down there to get me a breakfast burrito, get some groceries for my wife and the baby that we just had on the 15th and you come up trying to harass me. >> And don't sit there and say you didn't. You can make all the loopholes that you want. You followed me. I have you on video. I approached him. I approached him. I didn't approach you. Understand that we got out because the other cop was here after I called dispatch. I called dispatch and then he pulled up. Once he pulled up, I felt safer because you two could be corrupt. I don't know you guys. And as far as I'm concerned, the profiling that you guys were doing is corrupt. So if you want, call a lieutenant, call a sergeant, bring him here. You can arrest me. I have no reason for you to arrest me. And I'd love to talk to a sergeant if you could. >> Okay. Here's the funny and we'll call the sergeant. Here's the funny Here's the funny thing about your logic right now. Okay. You're acting strangely. You're taking that right turn. So we're like, "What's up with this dude?" We run. It comes back to a female. You're not a female. >> That's my wife. So >> So we we're behind you looking to see what you're doing. Then you pull over. You're asking what we're doing. That's weird. >> So what? Why are you so like >> why are you following me? Cuz I've dealt with like you, bro. I'm tatted. I already know how you act. >> Okay. And then we're sitting over here. You come. >> Nonetheless, Nonetheless, I So I know how you act. You arrest people and laugh. I was there, dude. I know. >> I know what you do. And you know what's even crazier? I'm always respectful. I'm always respectful to law enforcement. I'm always the most utmost respectful person. >> You >> Okay, maybe. Well, so what? You guys pulled up. I approached him, not you. I didn't want to approach you. The only reason I approached was cuz he was here and I felt safer. This guy's a Garcia. I'm a Garcia. I got it tatted on my body. No. Get out of here, bro. You ain't You ain't from my family for real. >> Oh, yeah. We're not family. >> No, we're not. No, you shouldn't even be a Garcia, bro. You're insane. >> You're profiling other Latinos cuz I got tattoos. >> Latino. I'm Latino. >> You're a Garcia. >> I'm not Latino. >> Okay. Well, that is what it is. >> Stop profiling, man. >> You just profiled me, buddy. >> You're Garcia. I'm a Garcia and I'm Hispanic. >> I'm Latino. >> Maybe you're Spanish. Who knows? >> No, I'm America. I'm American. >> I'm American, too. >> So, don't profile me >> then. Don't profile me. >> I don't. >> Normal people don't pull over to the side. >> I don't give a [ __ ] what normal people doing. I am not Maybe I'm not normal. I got tattoos on my face, dog. I ain't normal. >> Normal. >> Not here. >> Awesome. Awesome. >> But yeah, >> not here though. >> Uh, you guys good? >> Yeah. >> Hey, so here's the deal, man. Look, we're just going to give you a verbal warning on the trespassing. Okay. So, um, >> I'm not trespassed. I'm going to get food. You can't trespass me for getting said you were. That's what you were stopped for. That's why I'm just going to give you a verbal warning. >> No, you give me a verbal warning because you can't arrest me for [ __ ] Let's be honest. >> You want to go to jail? >> I don't. That's why that's why I'm trying to fix it. >> Okay. Here, man. So, look. This is your firearm. I just moved the upper and the bottom. >> I can put it I'm not worried about those back in there. I just want to let you know both your your ID and your driver license are in there. >> Mhm. >> Thank you so much for being awesome with us. >> So, why were you following me? If I can ask. >> Huh? >> Why were you guys? >> Well, I told you. So, initially we were we were uh >> You can put it in my pocket. You can even put it in my car. I don't want to be shot by you guys. Initially we just were routine driving. We ran your plate and then you kind of bailed out on extension I think it was. Then bailed out. So not >> that's not the case. >> So you're not going to let me finish or you interrup me? >> Go ahead. >> No. Keep asking but you don't listen if you keep on interrupting. I'm just going to walk away. >> But you didn't check my plates. >> You pulled behind me before you had a chance to check my plates. >> Okay. >> And we are you going to let me explain or not? If not, I'm just going to walk away. >> Go ahead. >> Okay. So listen. You build on extension and then you build I think it was first place. It's not normal behavior when police are behind you. So that raises a little suspicion and then you pull up to the side of the road and you say, "What do you want?" And you kind of get pop attitude, which is fine. That's your American right to do. But it raises suspicion to police officers. Okay? So then you're like, "Hey, I'm going to wait here." So I just go around, you drive around the block, come back, you're gone. Cool. Go back down to Maine, go back down westbound, I see you again. Hey, this guy is a little suspicious. I'm going to follow him again. You pull into McDonald's. So you're like, you're trying to avoid us also. Very suspicious. Hey. Okay. Now this guy's trying to avoid us twice. All right. Weird. Now you got your phone recording us, which you're allowed to do. Totally constitutional. That's in your right. >> I don't care. I've never been to jail. >> Okay. >> Cool. Awesome. That's That's great. >> These officers spent all their time chasing a man who broke no laws. And the moment he questioned them, their excuses fell apart. They circled him, followed him, waited for him, and still came up with nothing. Their own words proved they were profiling and fishing. And they walked away frustrated after exposing themselves.
