But I still have to do my job. >> Your job is to come check and see why I'm here. I told you why I'm here. So, now you can go about your way. >> It would be fantastic if you would lose the attitude, ma'am. >> I don't have an attitude. All I did >> have a massive attitude. In this video, a woman was working late on a private driveway when an unmarked officer pulled up and immediately questioned why she was there. She explained she worked on the property and had the keys, but instead of verifying that and moving on, the officer focused on her attitude and began pushing for ID without pointing to any crime. What should have been a quick check slowly turned into an ego-driven exchange. The officer leaned on authority and feelings while the woman calmly challenged him and refused to comply without legal grounds. From that moment on, the interaction stopped being about her presence and became about control. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> You're We just We just wanted to make sure. >> Okay. This is a private driveway and I'm here to work. >> Okay. >> So, >> that's all. >> 11:24 9. So, we're just checking. >> Okay. Janitorial. See? Janitori.

No, you don't, >> ma'am. >> No, you definitely don't. Do you suspect me of a crime? >> No. >> Okay. >> I don't know who you are. >> Okay. That doesn't mean anything. Do you suspect me of a crime? >> On private property right now and just because you're wearing a shirt >> on private property working. You don't have to check my ID. >> Ma'am, here's the thing. Okay, you are on private property. Okay, we've already established that. Okay, anybody can wear it says >> I have the keys to the building. >> Okay, there's no reason to have an attitude. >> I am sick of you guys harassing me. >> I've never seen you here.

All I did >> I have a massive attitude. >> Okay. The first thing you said when you when I saw you was, "I don't want to deal with this right now." >> Cuz I don't I'm sick of having to deal with this. >> Well, ma'am, I don't know who you are. >> Okay. >> Okay. I apologize for saying that. >> So, if you want to get an attitude, we can have a problem, but I don't want that. Okay. >> Okay. This is all on camera. >> You can have that on camera all you want. Okay. But talking to someone disrespectfully when they're trying to be nice and do their job is not okay. >> I'm trying to do the same thing. >> That's fantastic. But you decided you wanted to be disrespectful. You record all you want. I don't care. >> So you get my ID attitude. There's no reason to get my ID. >> If I want to get your ID because I'm checking who you are, >> then yes, I can't. >> No, you can't. You have to have reasonable articulable suspicion. >> Okay. >> Of a crime. What is your suspicion of a crime? >> Yes. >> It's No, ma'am. It's not. Yes, it is. >> You're on private property. I don't know who you are. Is that correct? >> And I have told you who I like. >> You haven't told me who you are. >> I don't need to give you my name. >> Okay. But I don't know that you're actually working here now. Do I? >> I have the keys right here. >> That's fantastic. >> I'm wearing a janitorial shirt. >> Anybody can wear a janitorial shirt. I can go buy one right now. >> Okay. >> Okay. Everything would have been fine if you hadn't got an attitude. Okay. Everything would have been hunky dory. >> Okay. >> Okay. So next time if you are working fine. How about you pull into a spot >> cuz this is a private driveway. >> Man, do you know how many people pull? >> It's not a through street. There's literally a sign right there that says not a through street. >> I understand that. I get calls all the time to come here because people have parked here in the middle of the night. It's 11:30 at night. >> Okay, I'm here to work. I've got the keys. I've literally showed you fantastic. >> Got the keys right here. I can go open the door to go in to go do my job >> and I'm happy for you. Okay. What I'm asking is is when we stop to do a public service to make sure that you're not just some random person here getting ready to try to break into a physician's office that you're just as curious as we try to be. >> Okay. And I told you why I'm here. >> So >> I told you why I'm here. >> Next time be courteous and you won't get an ass chewing. >> Okay. Just so you know, I can speak to you however I want. There's freedom of speech. >> So can I do so so can I. But you have to be professional. It's your job. You're representing our town right now. >> You're you're representing your business right now, aren't you? >> Sure. >> Okay. So, when I come up and I just start trying to talk to you because I don't know who you are and I've never met you >> and you've already confirmed you've never met me, correct? >> No. >> Okay. >> Doesn't mean you can act like a tyrant. >> I'm not acting like a tyrant. I'm >> demanding my ID >> because >> I don't have to give you my ID. I don't have to give you my ID. >> That's great. Okay. Now that I know that you work for the janitorial, that's fine. You could be here whenever. But there's no reason to be rude from the moment that you get out of your truck. There's no reason for it. >> Okay. >> So, next time be nice. I'll be nice, too. >> Okay. Well, you sat there with your light on me for a couple minutes first. >> It was not for a couple minutes. >> Okay. For a minute. For a minute. >> Because I was calling into my dispatch. >> Okay. >> Okay. So again, drop the attitude when you're dealing with a public servant, man. All I'm trying to do is my job. >> Well, then don't come up demanding for ID and >> then don't act like a >> and act however I want. >> And so can I. >> Freedom of speech. >> You do have that freedom. You absolutely do. But you also do have the freedom to just not be a >> Okay. So, next time, be nice. I'll be nice, too. >> Well, next time you see my vehicle here, you know I work here. >> And I still have to do my rounds, ma'am. >> Okay. >> I was coming here to do a damn building check. >> That's fine. >> So, just please be try not to be rude to people. >> You could do the same thing. >> I wasn't rude until you were, man. >> Okay. >> So, have a nice night. >> You too. Oh, what is your badge number? >> 706. 706. And your name? >> Officer Cade. You can talk to Chief Beck tomorrow if you want to. >> Oh, I definitely will. You >> absolutely can. >> I am so sick of this. Ridiculous. You can leave now. Look at that. He's in an unmarked vehicle. Completely unmarked. Not a single bit of marking. I thought they had to have marked vehicles at night to pull over. See, it says 0 O2. Bye-bye. By the end of this encounter, the officer was no longer in control. His demands were driven by attitude and ego rather than law. And once that authority was questioned, he had nothing solid to stand on. The woman challenged him directly refused to provide ID without legal grounds and stayed on the property she was lawfully working on. This interaction showed how quickly police authority falls apart when it is not backed by reasonable suspicion.
