How old is you? >> 22. >> How long you been working for the Dita Police Department? >> About a few months. >> A few months. And they ain't teach you the Constitution that you cannot stop somebody without articulate suspicion of a crime. >> This inexperienced rookie cop in Da walked up to a man on the street and instantly created a problem that did not exist. He claimed Circle K workers were scared of him. Yet, he could not offer one real crime, one statement, or one solid reason for stopping him. Every answer he gave kept changing because he was trying to build a case that simply was not there. When the man pushed back and demanded the only thing that matters is suspected crime, the cop had nothing. He still tried to force ID threatened detention and act like fear alone was enough to justify holding someone against their will. And when the man began questioning his training, his experience, and his lack of reasonable suspicion, the rookie completely lost confidence. Watch how this whole encounter flips when the man refuses to play along and exposes how empty this cop's authority really was. >> If you got something to say, say it, man. You talking now. I'm listening. I'm listening. I don't have to stop walking though. You can't Are you detaining me? >> Are you Are you detain Are you detain Are you detaining? Okay. Well, then I stopped and that's all you got to say. >> Okay. So, here's the thing. So, I was speaking with the managers on Circle K.

That's just what they were telling me. >> Well, it don't matter what they tell you, does it? Somebody told me that about you. >> So, what I'm saying is I'm not going to say it's right or wrong because I don't know if it happened or not. >> So, why you coming at me with that? >> So, why you coming? Why you detaining me then? If you don't know, bro, you don't have suspect. You don't have articulate suspicion of a crime. >> Sir wants you to trespass. They don't want you to go back. >> Did you hear what I said, man? >> I know. But did you hear what I said? >> Yes, I heard you. >> All right.

Because they told you that. Didn't I just tell you what somebody told me about you? >> They're saying that you're going in there screaming police and uh scaring everyone. >> Oh, man. We need to get out the middle of the street, man. You said not to go back, so I won't go back. No, it's over with. You told me not to go back.

And the moment his story fell apart, his authority collapsed with it. Every excuse he tried to use was exposed in real time.
