When suspects aren't scared and the cops panic, the truth comes out fast. Power flips, masks drop, and the people who swore to protect us are caught in their own traps. These are real moments where ordinary citizens stood their ground exposed corruption and watched the so-called untouchables fall. If you think all cops play by the rules, you're about to see what happens when the game changes. >> She was like, you know, right? >> No, I'm not illegally doing anything. He's got him out >> and I want to sit you here till he figures out what he's doing with him. It's called safety. >> It's called you have no >> On June 29th, 2024, officers from Hampton, Ohio received a call about unwanted individuals on private property. So instead of checking with the owner and politely asking the visitors to leave, they treated the call like a license for a small-scale invasion. Their only legal duty had been to investigate. But the police imagination seemed limitless here. And this was just the opening move. What came next would make every one of you shocked. >> What are you guys doing? >> Giving me a ride. Don't walk up. >> Huh? >> Giving me a ride with the cat the donuts. >> Didn't look like he was giving you a ride sitting here. >> He just got in the car. >> Yeah, he just s >> You did? >> Yes, he did. >> Whose car is this? >> My car. >> Your car? >> How you guys doing? What color was before this? >> You got IDs? >> You got IDs? >> Yeah. >> All right, let's see it. >> I mean, you want to just run my name on social? >> I want your ID. >> Oh my god. Why are you being really? >> I'm not. >> My cat's going to get lost over ignorance. >> I'm just asking you for your ID. >> Hey, I'm going to have to try to find it in my purse. >> Okay. Well, go ahead. >> Can I take the cat in the house in so it don't get loose? No, you're going to sit right here. Yeah. >> Are you dead serious? >> You got a warrant or something? >> The officers approached the vehicle and immediately asked questions like, "What are you doing here?" Acting as if every word they spoke was law. The people in the car explained that they had just sat down and had some donuts. But to the police, this was a potential crime of the century. Instead of doing the logical thing and asking the property owner if they wanted these people to leave, they chose to escalate right away. >> Don't have warrants. I've never had a warrant. I've never had criminal charges. I've never had anything like that. >> Okay. >> I got I got like regular like bottom half like gas. I ran out. >> Were you guys stuffing when we pulled up? >> Nothing. Are youing dead ass serious? >> Yeah, I'm dead serious. You were talking that I had done my >> I rolled the window. >> Yeah. I mean, you guys were stuffing stuff around the sides of the seats and stuff. It looked like >> So, being that Do you guys live here at all? >> Where's that? What's What apartment? >> So, you're on the lease? The officers insisted on seeing an ID, even though no law required identification without reasonable suspicion of a crime. The woman was nervously searching for her documents while the officer pretended to be patient, secretly waiting for the moment to show who was in charge. When asked about warrants, she replied that she had never had any, which clearly ruined the script the officers had imagined. >> Oh, well, the owner of the property doesn't want people here who aren't on the lease. They're supposed to be trespassed >> because we have a lot of problems with this house. So, >> cops talked to me and the hole was pretty >> Yeah. Well, the uh property owner doesn't want people here. >> Okay. Well, I came to get the cat to take like three blocks up with the donuts. Like, I have literally only been here for like 30 minutes. >> So, is there any drugs inside the car? >> No, there's not. So, if we have a dog come and search or or if we search the car, we're not going to find anything. >> I didn't ask you to get out. You can stay right there. >> I'm going to get out though. >> No, I want you to sit right there. >> You're illegally doing that, right? >> No, I'm not illegally doing anything. He's got him out >> and I want to sit you here till he >> The situation escalated when these officers fully confident in their own legal infallibility ordered the woman to stay in the car and threatened her with safety procedures. Officer safety became the magic phrase they used to justify trampling the constitution. Their behavior made it clear that citizens rights were just decoration and the real priority was putting on a show of power. So, by this point, it was obvious they aren't going to stop until they manufactured a reason to make an arrest. >> Until he figures out what he's doing with him. It's called safety. >> It's called You have no >> Yes, I do. We have a problem with this with this property. Okay. Drug use and things like that. Okay. Yeah. So, we're allowed to do anything we want here. >> Yeah, we The officers demanded that the woman step out of the car and leave her purse behind, planning to search without a warrant. When she tried to keep her belongings, the scene turned into a small tragedy. Police physically intervened, completely ignoring the fact that there had been no reasonable suspicion of a crime. To them, protecting that purse was more dangerous than any weapon because it shattered their illusion of absolute control. >> What about All right, man. I'm going to have you step out. Okay. If you could just leave your person there for me. >> Not in your house. >> Yeah, you're going to leave your purse in there for me. Okay. Well, I'm going to search it then before you >> What are you doing? Stop. Stop. >> You get stop doing serious. You guys are >> Why are you You're being arrested now for obstruction. >> The woman's resistance was treated as an insult to the empire of blue uniforms. The moment she insisted on having a supervisor present, the officers decided it was time for a show. And so they threw her down, handcuffed her, and threatened her with a taser. They called it obstruction, even though her only real crime was refusing to give up her rights. And yet, this performance was far from reaching its grand finale. >> Oh my god. Please stop. Stop super I know my rights. I want super relax. I want super right now. >> Stop. You're going to get tased. Stop. >> Relax. You're okay. You're going to get tased. Chill. Chill. Chill. Chill. >> Get off. I don't want you guys to supervis this. >> Period. >> You don't have that choice. Just chill out. >> I do have that choice. >> I will scare the out of you. >> Let go of the purse. >> No, I will let go of you. >> Let go of the purse. The officers grew rougher while the woman desperately asked for a supervisor. Their response was a textbook display of arrogance. They told her she had no choice and would even face more consequences. Between blows, threats, and twisted interpretations of the law, it became clear the real purpose of the intervention wasn't safety, but domination. Their arrogance peaked when they accused her of assault and obstruction as she begged for someone to follow their own rules. Just relax. Stop kicking me. Stop kicking me. >> I'm not kicking you. >> You just did. You just did. >> Why? Why are you doing this to me? >> Cuz we asked you to step out of here so crazy to do it. You guys are [ __ ] harassing the [ __ ] out of [ __ ] >> You're going to get tagged. >> Stop. >> You're going to get harassing me. >> Nobody's harassing me. >> We're allowed to do anything we want here. >> Give me a supervisor. Call the supervisor. You guys really see this. He's not going to hold nothing. You guys can't hold nothing. Can't hold nothing. >> Now you're under arrest. Okay. >> For what? >> For obstruction. >> Get breathe. >> You got to go. >> Get off. >> The woman was completely pinned down as the officers reminded her that they would take her to the station and add new charges because she refused to stand up. Every threat they made revealed their fear of the camera and the quiet knowledge that they were in the wrong. And instead of acting professionally, they turned it into a caricature of their own authority. But wait, there is more going on here. >> It's called restraction. >> I was getting out of the car. >> Obstructioning and resisting arrest. >> I wasn't resisting. I was getting out of the car. >> Yeah. >> Yes, I was. Resisting arrest for what? You guys were arresting me for what? You There wasn't nothing you could arrest me for. >> Now listen, I'm going to stand you up. >> No. Get off of me, please. I went to supervisor still. There's nothing you can arrest me for. >> I'm going to stand you up and you're going to walk to the car. >> No, I'm not. I went to supervisor right now. I'm not out here. >> Yes, >> he's not going to come out here. >> Yes, he is. >> Yes, he is. No, he's not. Yes, he is. >> I don't even know. >> I should have threw all this. >> You shouldn't have threw all that in your purse. >> Yeah, because I didn't look to see. >> What's in your purse? >> I don't know. I didn't look to see that. >> Okay. >> All right, let's stand up. >> Please get off now. >> I want you to stand up. I like the supervisor >> eyes. >> During the ongoing struggle, the woman desperately begged to be lifted only once a supervisor arrived while the officers kept threatening her with more charges on top of it all. According to their madeup rule book, simply lying on the ground counted as proof of guilt. The irony was that they were only digging themselves deeper. Every move revealed that their goal was a psychological game and not the law. I mean, how do they even become cops here? >> That's not how this works. That works. >> This is how this works. >> That's not how this works. >> He's going to beat us. >> I I know. I asked you that. I want him here. >> No. >> Yes. >> That is not what you guys That is not the Lord. >> Are you trying to catch more charges? >> For what? >> Then stand up. >> There's not going to be no charges. Stand up. >> I will add some more. >> You're doing this too. Absolutely. >> I will add some more charges. >> For what? >> You're just making up right now. >> No, I'm not. >> Yes, you are. >> Stand up. >> You're making it my son's birthday. You got the [ __ ] up. I want the sit. >> Come on, stand up. >> I want the situation. >> Well, he's not going to talk to you while you're laying on the ground. So, stand up. >> You make the call and I'll stand. >> Come on, let's stand up. >> You make the call and I will stand up. >> 30 years. >> You make the call and I will stand up. >> He's He's going to be at headquarters when we get there. >> You make the call. I'll stand up. >> We already did. He's going to be at headquarters when we get there. >> He's already waiting on you. >> Nope. I'm with him here. >> He's not coming. >> That is my right. >> The officers insisted she would only see a supervisor at the station. ignoring her basic rights. They began inventing extra charges as if it were a puzzle game, double obstruction, resisting, purse hazard. All the while, they used physical force and blamed her for injuring herself. In reality, the only violent people here were the ones wearing the badges, and they were the only ones who couldn't see it. >> Well, you're going to stand up. You're going to get more charges. >> So, we're going to add obstruction times two. >> Why? You couldn't hit me with the first. You're not standing up >> the car. >> How are you going to get me with the first instruction even? I got out of the car. >> You need to get out. >> Listen, now get the >> And then you started fighting. >> I wasn't going to find you. Are you serious? >> It's all on camera, huh? >> The good thing it is on camera cuz you were putting your hands on me and trying to force me. >> No, I was just trying to make you leave the purse in so I could check it because I don't know what's in there. >> Nothing wrong >> because you guys were making ferative movements as we pulled up. >> You're making that up to say you're trying to stand. That's not the case, though. Stand up. That is not the case. >> You can to say anything you want to today. That is a boldfaced [ __ ] lie. >> Get up. >> That is a boldfaced lie. >> Get up. >> That is a baldfaced lie. >> Please get to supervisor. >> Well, Gatmire won. >> Well, you're going to get to see you're going to get to see Gatmire tomorrow cuz you're going to jail. It's coming up. >> After they had her fully subdued, the officers talked about the situation as if the show were over. Yet, this was exactly what happens when suspects aren't scared and cops panic. Simply put, police don't like people who know their rights because they're harder to control. And when that happens, the only tool left is excessive force, which was clearly their plan all along. >> Datire my lawyer. Dad's in my Please let me see the supervisor. >> Ow, you're burning my stomach. >> God damn. >> You're hurting yourself. >> No, I'm not. You guys should have never put your hands on me. I got out of the car and everything. >> What? >> Get off of me, please. >> No. No. No. No. No. Scott, please. I want the supervisor. I want the [ __ ] supervisor. Brother, >> you guys are up for this. >> I cannot wait. Cannot wait. I can I can only imagine get in there. You got your recorder on? Your camera's on? No, I don't have one in my car. All right. All right. >> Oh, look at this. The police finally found marijuana and used it as their excuse for control and arrest. The absurd part was that marijuana had been legal in Ohio since November 2023. Yet, they still treated it like a controlled substance. This scene revealed a brutal truth. Even when the law was no longer on their side, the police relied on ignorance and force to impose authority and fulfill their private quotas for power. There's your weed smell. >> There's my weed smell. Smell. Yeah. >> During the further search, they found needles and treated them as proof of a crime, even though they had neither a warrant nor any initial grounds for the search. In the end, the woman was charged with obstruction, resisting, and possession of a controlled substance. while the officers walked away clean. But if you thought these cops were bad, well, just wait until you hear about the case where these officers harassed the cyclists simply because they were bored on the night shift. And speaking of times when suspects aren't scared and the cops panic, let's talk about a man who had just finished work exhausted, only wanting to grab something and go home, when, of course, the police stopped him. These officers, of course, didn't miss their chance to play street bosses, asking him why he had an attitude toward them. Soon enough, it would become clear exactly why this man carried himself the way he did. >> From the head to the house, you know, >> why you doing our job? >> I mean, cuz I have a right. >> We not at all. to a runway now look for 16 years old November 30th 2007 standing 5' 3 wearing a green sweater foot bag she has black shoulder lay with brown eyes of Christian academy this morning with a river on If contact is made to notify this unit will be entered into the code to make sure he's not doing that wrong. >> No, not at all. Just seeing who that was. >> 486 service. >> The police shifted to their standard routine, talking about a runaway minor as if every passer by were a potential criminal. They read the description of the missing girl, but no connection to the man was ever proven. It was a classic tactic. Inject fear to justify a forced detention. Instead of protecting citizens rights, they deliberately created an atmosphere of suspicion because in their world, everyone was guilty until proven otherwise. >> Ma'am, >> can I get a 2729 out of Florida by ON? >> Yeah, Florida. >> Florida and Georgia. by name. >> I haven't been down. I haven't been home in about >> Florida and Georgia as in Florida. Like one through Florida, one through Georgia or the same name. >> Yeah. Let me get one through Florida and one through Georgia. And it's going to be by name and date of birth. >> Where' you say you're headed back to? I'm going >> right here on Wolf Street. Right there. Right up the street, man. >> That's where you live at? >> Yeah, that's where I'm headed. Well, everything's clear. We'll let you go about your way. All right. >> Service right there. >> Go ahead. >> Johnny W. Smith in Brunswick, Georgia. Charlie is suspended. Charlie is suspended on failure to appear. suspended child support. >> The police announced that they would let him go if everything was clear. But that was the trick. They were already acting as if they owned his freedom without any warrant. When they ran his information, a mistake appeared. His social security number was off by a single digit. Instead of realizing it was just a minor system flaw, they began treating him like a liar. All right. I'm going to place you investigated detention right now. Okay. >> What now? >> Because >> what I got now? >> I'm going make sure you ain't giving me the wrong social. >> 1747, man. That's my last. >> Okay. Well, I got this back. >> I got the same person. >> Did you happen to have a social security guard in your wallet? >> Yes, I do. >> Okay. Well, I'll get it from you. >> Same person. What, man? >> I got everything coming back from to you. with a social being one number off. So, I'm going to make sure you ain't lying to me. Okay. >> Clean up on this bumper right here. >> Yeah, I will. Hold on one second. 486 dispatch, I got one black male on investigated attention. >> Please don't. >> I'm trying to get my water out. I got it. >> Please don't dig. That's all I said. >> Just lean up against that brush guard for me. If you lean up, he going to fix something. [Music] >> I'm going to roll. I'm going to push your sleeve up. Okay. >> Now, the police moved into full intimidation mode. They cuffed him and called it an investigative detention. There's no warrant, no clear reason, just the paranoia of people in uniform. The man showed his social security card, but they pretended to verify it. Does the Constitution allow detention without reasonable cause? That silence is no. But in their world, wearing cycling shoes and looking tired is reason enough. >> All right. >> Service needs you. >> 486 service. Go ahead. All right. Hold tight. I got it. Wait. Um, >> I know how to get my I know how to get my body, but But what y'all got me for? [Music] >> Okay. Sorry. Will you t all that traffic? >> The last of his social is listed here in his social security numbers on his 99. And he's going to be 99 out of CD for failure to appear. >> Okay. Where? >> Johnny Smith. >> Johnny Wesley Smith. Hey. So, while standing there in handcuffs, the man tried to explain that he only had a little marijuana, ultimately admitting it was just a blunt. The irony was that possessing a small amount of weed posed no real threat to public safety. Yet, the police acted as if they had caught a dangerous dealer. Instead of handling it with a simple citation or warning, they used it as an excuse to prolong the harassment. >> All right. Will you spray your feet for me? Am I under arrest first of all? >> You are. >> Well, what what I do, man? Cuz you have a warrant. >> Oh, and what? >> It's weed. It's a blunt in there, man. I got some weed in there. Okay. Is that all the little bit in here that you got? No. Damn. >> Here. Stay right here for me. Do what now? Yeah. >> The scene shifted into a humiliating routine, taking off his shoes, searching his body, and checking every corner of his footwear. The man asked if they could call someone to pick up his bike since it was his only way to get to work. However, cops like these saw even that request as a chance to boost their egos. So, you can probably guess how that turned out. >> To appear or what, man? What? What I got appear on? >> Oh, I don't know. >> All right. >> To appear what? >> I don't know. I I just told you I don't know. >> I don't know. Probation. >> Okay. >> I'm going to take this off your head for you. >> Where can I take my bike? >> Right here, >> man. Y will you kick your shoe off for me? Around the corner. Right around the corner. Kick this shoe off for me. >> Right around the corner, man. Come on, y'all. Man, make a phone call then, man. Man, that man. I don't have that car. >> You pick this leg up for me. Hold it up for me. Suddenly, the simple request for a phone call turned into a battle with blue uniformed bureaucracy. They decided to leave his bike behind a random building, basically inviting any thief to take it. If they really wanted to help the community, wouldn't it have been easier to wait a single minute for someone to pick it up? I mean, it's obvious they had plenty of free time here, right? Let me get that out of the suit. 1095 one blackmail. >> She's saying that that social he gave me the last four is on that horn. >> The one that fit. >> What? >> We won't know till we go pick up the one. >> Is he He's not coming here, is he? >> Okay. All right. We're going to go to the backseat of the car. Okay. Put my shoes on, man. Man, look at me, man. Come on. I'll do it. >> I'll help you. I'll let you put your uh >> shoe back on. >> I got to commit a crime or something. I ain't ate [ __ ] man. Damn, bro. >> Here, you can put your shoe on, man. >> Here, I got you. Ah damn dog f to stop that man let me pick me up people come get my bike y'all please can I ride the corner man I can make one phone call they come get my bike I got to have my bike >> frustration grew as the man tried to hold on to his dignity while being treated like a dangerous criminal even though his crime crimes were a missed court obligation and a little weed. But if you thought this case would end just because he was already in handcuffs, of course you'd be wrong. These officers aren't done yet, and they're determined to squeeze even more out of this encounter. >> That's how I get to work. >> Can I do that? >> Just make a phone call right around the corner, man. >> Is your phone on? >> Yes, sir. It's on, man. Damn, man. Bro, here you go. All right. This phone's not cutting on. >> Got to push it back. >> Okay. >> Phone. Go. Um, okay. Put a speaker phone on. You split it off. >> All right. I'm going to instruct them they come pick your bike up. Okay. We're not going to have a conversation. If they don't answer, I'm going to put your bike right behind this white building and when you get to the jail, if they give you a phone call, you can let them know. Okay. >> 9. >> Okay. They're not answering. >> Hit it again. They going >> No. >> The police finally took full control, placing him in the car, yet still treated him like an object. When he tried to put on his shoes, they told him they would take him off in custody anyway. That moment right there captured pure dehumanization. The man was no longer a person, but inventory. It was clear they were enjoying tormenting him. So, let's let's see what happened next because this power trip was far from over. >> Only doing one, man. We got to roll. Okay. Okay. trying to put my shoe on. >> Well, just we'll they're going to take it back off at the jail. So, >> okay. Yeah, it's coming. You got like a little bang. >> I got a big evidence bag. >> Let me see. I can't see. >> Oh, >> one of the officers said he would let it slide on the crackpipe because there wasn't enough to press charges. Now, this is just classic manipulation. They chose when to apply the law just to appear merciful. And ironically, they first treated him like a criminal, then posed as saviors for not inventing an extra charge. Are we supposed to thank them for all that or what? >> That listen, all that wooding he was doing, you should have been putting him back there. He um get stuff up out of here. But you can get rid of Get rid of it. That's what she's She's grabbing the warrant now to see exactly what it's uh what it's going to be. >> No, no, I'm not. I'm going to cut you a break on that uh on that crack pipe. All right. Huh? Yeah. No, I'm not. Yeah, that's not enough to charge you, man. So, just take you down there and get let you take care of this warrant and you'll be on your way. All right. But it's better to get it over with now. Cuz it wasn't going to go away. >> No. Been there for a long time. >> Yeah. At least they don't pull him over three times. >> Well, two times. >> The man signed the papers for failure to appear, fully aware he was being treated like a criminal, even though he was only acknowledging a minor citation. The whole thing was procedural theater. He was signing off on the fact that his freedom had been taken for an administrative mistake. The police acted as if they had done him a favor, but in reality, they shattered his day, his dignity, and his peace. And they still weren't finished. >> Right. >> I can take you in. I wouldn't do anything. >> Well, some people do definitely work differently. I can't speak for other officers, but I did what I could to help you out. So, >> why you like got >> I'm moving your hand. All right. >> Would you happen to have that whole social for Johnny Smith? >> All right. I need you to sign this for me. >> Okay. All right. Sign that red line. Okay. >> Huh? Right here on the red line. You're signing the ticket for failure to appear. Not admitting guilt. >> After the formalities, the conversation shifted into a bizarrely friendly tone. The officers chatted about promotions and making positive changes. The irony couldn't be any sharper. The gap between their words and actions made it clear this had nothing to do with justice. Have you ever run into cops who thought they were above the law? Let us know down in those comments. >> Just admitting that you're receiving the ticket. Okay. >> A ticket for what I need a ticket for. >> For your failure to appear >> for your failure to appear 3614. >> Okay. Where go at? Right here. The pink. Yep. Okay. Now, put your copy in your property. >> When you going to make the jump, man? >> Huh? >> When you going to make the jump? >> I don't know yet. >> You just got promoted, didn't you? >> Good changes. >> Yeah. The man was taken to jail over a minor violation, posing no real threat to society, while the police walked away without any consequences. The irony here was complete. The very people meant to uphold the law acted as if they were above it. But even this wasn't the worst case we're covering today. Let's see how officers tried to trespass someone from a public space for no other reason than the color of their skin. The conversation began with a citizen simply trying to learn the officer's identity, which should be a basic right in a public space. Officer Riggs here acted as if the question, "Who are you?" was classified information. And instead of transparency, a wall of arrogance went up immediately. If a cop can't even say who he is while on public duty, what does that say about his respect for the public and the constitution that pays him? Well, let's see. >> Who are you? Who Who are you? >> Who are you? >> Yeah, Rigs. How's it going? >> Why was that so difficult? >> I'm going to be back in there tomorrow holding the sun. Okay. >> Or maybe just a piece of paper. Who knows what I'll be holding? But I'm going to be back in there. >> Because this is a low what you guys are doing. This is a load. >> Do you believe in this? Of >> course. Sure you don't. Why did your officers just have us? >> The citizen said he would return to the library the next day with a sign or a piece of paper. But the idea of standing quietly with a sign was treated as a threat to the establishment. The police pretended to be polite, but their tone carried an unspoken warning, as if peacefully standing on public property could suddenly become a crime. And this subtle intimidation was only the first step in what was coming next. >> I need you to understand >> for that rigs. >> No, no, no, no, no. Hold on, Michael. Let me explain this to this guy here. >> So, the reason what is the reason for the band, Rigs? I don't know >> exactly. And so they would say that it's for disregarding a a reasonable directive of the library, but that directive was that I'm not allowed to stand silently in the library. >> That's called unconstitutional. They're violating my rights. And by you enforcing that that policy, you're enforcing an unconstitutional directive. >> Do you do you understand that? Th >> this can happen in court and a judge can make that determination. That's not that's our decision. We know. >> So why do you side with them? because that you were banned. It's >> I just explained to you that the ban does the ban is not remember that talks about defending rights. >> I know my oath. Um you don't have defending rights. >> I appreciate it. >> You have no idea rights. >> The citizen explained that he had been previously kicked out of the library simply for standing quietly, which the police treated as grounds for a ban. This was a textbook violation of the First Amendment. Peaceful expression, even silent, is protected. Instead of defending those rights, the officers knowingly became tools for enforcing unconstitutional rules. This was the opening scene of a confrontation that would soon escalate even further. >> So, I mean, you guys can go to court and a judge can make a determination as to whether or not your rights were violated. >> We're not going to court yet, but we'll see how you guys react to this tomorrow, whether you're going to come in and use the law, use force to enforce unconstitutional policies. I understand that. You say that you're going to come here and trespass and we'll come here and deal with your trespass. >> No, I haven't been trespassed. >> We didn't trespass. >> No, I haven't been trespassed. >> I left of my own Sounds like you've been >> also trespass. >> No, I mean you're banned. >> Oh, you're banned. >> That's the trespass. It's the same thing. >> So, you come back tomorrow, there'll be a trespass. We'll ask you to leave. If you don't leave, they >> Oh, I'm back on the property. >> All right. We can get you an I mean, you guys just want to go to court. I'm back on the property. >> Why do we have to go to court order of this? You you can't look at something that says uh it's not a reasonable directive to say a citizen can't stand silently in the library. You think that that's okay because the library says that >> the library >> what happened here was that the library banned this citizen from standing in front of the library which by the way is public property even though they had no authority to do so. This wouldn't have been such a problem if the police hadn't teamed up with them. Either they didn't know the law or they simply didn't like it that way. Whatever the reason, it was bad. hands people occasionally when they >> right for things that are not constitutionally protected activities. So for example, if I went into the library and I had a trumpet and I just started running around in there blowing it and they said leave and I said I'm not leaving. >> Yes. Standing silently? No. What What would be the basis for them doing that? >> Standing silently after you've been banned. I don't know why you were banned and you can make that argument later. >> I'm telling you what it is. I'm I'm trying to educate you so you don't find yourself in the lawsuit as well. >> Is that the reason the ban is in effect is because of standing silently with messages which is a violation of my rights is a violation of free speech. You certainly would understand that, right? >> I understand the premise that you're talking about. >> Right. So by you enforcing that is an unconstitutional ban. It's an unconstitutional trespass. >> We can't go back in history and look at all of that stuff. I don't know why >> the hell we can't I told I toldy >> the police offered their solution which was if you think your rights were violated take it to court. It was the classic bureaucratic game of passing the buck instead of recognizing a clear violation of free speech. They immediately took the side against the citizen. What do you think? Does a police officer's oath to protect the Constitution mean ignoring violations until a judge bangs the gavvel? Or is it just a convenient loophole for laziness and abuse of power? >> Yeah, exactly. I told F, it's important. I told Fogerty, I told all of her min all of your minions that came here, I said, "Ask the library specifically why I was banned cuz that's the key piece of information for you guys just to be like, I don't know why you're banned. I'm just going to enforce it." That'll be for you to present. >> Just ask them. I'm presenting it to you so that you can go in there and and Well, you certainly are enforcing that as if you are a judge. >> Sure. We we hand you a piece of paper. >> You're saying that they're right and I'm wrong. You've made the decision that they're right and I'm wrong. I've explained to you what the issue is. They haven't even done that. >> They're saying you committed a crime. You're saying you're not. >> They're saying I committed a crime. What crime did they say I committed? >> They're saying I committed a trespass. >> So then you get a right to a trial. >> But the reason why I have a criminal trespass off property, public property, you have to have an underlying element. That underlying element is the underlying crime that you need to articulate reasonable suspicion for. In this case, an uncost policy, not >> the citizen here tried to teach them the basics of the law. To remove someone from public property, there has to be a legitimate criminal offense, not just a political inconvenience. The officers, however, treated the library as if it were a private space, like a Walmart. That's dangerous here because it erases the line between public resources and private whims. Ironically, they thought they were protecting the order while in reality they were undermining the very foundation of a free society. >> They don't have a violation. There's no reason for them because in order again to trespass from publicly owned property, you have to have an underlying crime. This idea that you've got in Bishop's head that trespassing from the library, city hall, Douglas County is just like Target and Walmart is dead wrong. And you guys should know this. No, I I get that there are different uh >> So, you're going to need an underlying crime, not just a policy. >> Sure. >> Right. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So, there's our problem tomorrow when I'm standing there with this. There is no crime to this. >> If you if they banned you, >> they can't ban me for >> They banned him for standing with this. They banned him for standing with this, Rich. They didn't ban him for yelling or or doing any standing there. >> You're oblivious to that, man. Really? No, I just got it. >> They can. No, I mean I'm talking about they cannot ban me for constit. It's not like I held a sign that said all the [ __ ] >> Honestly, it was sad that the officers thought that the library had the right to accuse someone of trespassing on public property. I mean, isn't he the one here who's supposed to enforce the law? That should probably mean he knows it. Unfortunately, this officer didn't know much about the law at all. said, "Keep the Constitution." You can still do that if you wanted to. >> And they are going to ban me. And you're saying that that is not protected speech. >> I I'm not the one that's going to make that determination. >> You are. You're saying we can't go in there. >> A piece of paper and be told to go to court. >> Your piece of paper. Your piece of paper comes with you saying that you have reasonable suspicion that the crime is valid, that the crime that your charge is valid. >> Probable reasonable suspicion is even before probable cause, right? reasonable suspicion is even before probable cause, right? >> Just talk over. I'm happy to have a discussion. But um >> but you've got to have those and let them talk. >> If if it has been documented that the person in charge of this property says that you're not allowed to be here and we've documented that on the >> for any reason >> for any reason for any not on public property. >> So no blacks. No blacks. >> So no blacks, right? >> We don't have any prevailing answer that one that tells us it's not lawful for >> in a moment that was both funny and sad followed. The citizen compared the situation to racism. The police first nodded, then backed off when they realized the weight of the statement. This rhetorical trap exposed the absurdity of their logic. >> To ban you from the property, so >> the first amendment, >> no gays, >> you can go have that. >> Can they ban gays? >> You might prevail. Uh, but that's for a judge to deter. >> Rigs, hold on a sec, rigs, if they said no gays, you'd enforce that. >> No, >> you just said they can ban you for any reason. >> No, we're I'm saying that it's not up to us on what their reasonings are. If they have rules that they have that they say no gays gays and they want you to trespass a gay guy just because he's gay. Are you going to is cheating him the trespass? >> If they would have said we want you to trespass this guy because he's exercising his first amendment speech, we wouldn't we wouldn't ban you for that. But >> okay, >> they said we want that person banned. I don't know why they don't want you here. You guys can go to court. And >> what are you talking about? Even if they're gay or black or whatever, huh? They can just go to court. I told you if they said we want them banned because they're gay, we would say no. Or they say we want them banned because they're exercising their constitutional rights. >> But if they just say to the citizen kept insisting on the real reason for the ban, but the officers refused to give one. They preferred to stay officially blind because ignorance gave them a fake shield of immunity. This was a perfect example of how qualified immunity gets abused. If you don't ask, you don't know. And supposedly then you're not guilty. It was pathetic how confident they were in their actions, not realizing what happens when suspects aren't scared. And these cops were about to panic soon because of that. >> Have you asked them what were banned for then, Ricks? >> I haven't. >> That's part of the investigation to find out if it's even a legitimate ban in the first place because >> investigation is you're logged in and being trespassed since March 31st. >> For what reason? Hold on a second. >> It's the same thing if the reason would have been that I'm black. That's an important reason that you could look at and say, "Hold on, library." Yeah. And so that's what it is. >> No, that's not right. >> The First Amendment is why I'm banned from here. Have they told you the reason why? The reason why they're not telling you is because that's the reason. Why are you asking them? >> You're telling me that. >> Why aren't you asking them what the reason? Why didn't you ask them? >> There's something. The way you would The way you would bail him out. >> I'm not trying to bail him out. I'm trying to >> Well, he doesn't have to answer my question now. give if a per if a library staff decided amongst themselves that we want this person banned because they're black. They don't have to tell you that. They're going to say, "I want they're going to decide amongst themselves, we want this person banned because they're black." They decided that they don't do you realize the absurdity of this whole situation. Honestly, maybe the officers knew at some point how wrong they were, but their stupid egos were too big to admit it, turn around, and take leave. They had to push their narrative at all costs, even if it meant risking their so-called qualified immunity. Here's how the conversation went next. And spoiler alert, it didn't get any better than what you've seen so far. >> Tell you that they just call you up and they say, "I need this person to leave." And they don't give you any reason. Nothing. >> Yeah. >> And he's telling you, "It's cuz I'm black." They're saying that >> and the guy's saying it's cuz And maybe he's saying it's cuz I'm black, but they're not going to tell you that. But how are you going to react to that? Are you going to issue that guy the trespass >> if he's been banned? Um I don't if I don't know the reasons >> even if their reasoning is because just simply because he's black he's not I'm telling you >> and then you ask them and then you do an investigation right in our report that you said it's because you're exercising your first amendment right isn't this why you have to have the underlying criminal element what we're beating around the bush here. Do you not see with public property? You have to have an under evidence and a judge will make a determination as to whether or not um this was this was >> this is how you retain your qualified. >> The citizen grew more emotional, explaining that he would even accept being arrested if it meant stopping this from happening to others. This moment showed just how desperate people become when institutions ignore their own limits. The police instead of grasping the seriousness of the situation stayed locked in their formal shell. However, what they didn't realize was that this stubbornness was about to expose them >> community by acting this ignorant man. >> It's not about acting ignorant. It's just >> you can't understand these things. >> They say you committed a crime. You say you didn't commit a crime. We write a report. >> And write a report. Don't issue a summon citation. Write a report. >> No, you can. You're being you receive a citation. >> And what you're threatening one, right? >> Yeah. >> Right. Tomorrow. >> So tomorrow when I come back, I'm going to get a citation tomorrow. and not come back. Why wouldn't you just write a per rider report? Because threat was advising you what would happen. That's a total threat. You don't have a crime. >> You're exercising the law against us. That's a total threat. >> How is that not a threat? >> He's standing here inside the library. There's no >> What do you call it? >> Not unless you've been banned. >> No. See what he's doing? He's you >> He's doing the library. You're doing the first step. You're skipping the first step. You're skipping the fact that the ban is based on the protected activity that you can't do. It's not for yelling in there. It's not. >> The citizen completely exposed the officer's logic, calling their behavior protecting qualified immunity by playing dumb. That line hit the core of the issue. They pretended not to understand the Constitution to avoid personal responsibility. Ironically, this behavior was like children closing their eyes and thinking no one could see them. The difference was that these children wore badges and had guns, and they have the power over other people's lives. And the next exchange would only make their hypocrisy even clearer. >> Stop her blow blowing a horn and beating the drum. >> Determines that ban was not lawful. >> God, man. Really? Really? >> I'm not a lawyer. >> Really? >> That's the out that you guys use. You're not a lawyer. So, you can't understand that their ban is based on something unconstitutional. So, you're just going to go ahead and issue a citation and send somebody for the ride, right? >> No, not sending for a ride. You go to court. >> Do you not sending for a ride know what the ride is? >> Sending for a ride, man. And somebody goes to court proay, what happens? >> They get convicted. >> How do they avoid getting convicted? They pay for a lawyer. >> Do you know how much money I'm out lawyers because you guys decided to send somebody for a ride when it was just somebody saying something and there was no crime? >> Do you know how bad that is for the community? Both of you. I'm getting upset with it now because you guys are acting. saying you want to show up tomorrow and take the the ride as you call it cuz you want to be out. >> When the officers realized that these two guys weren't scared at all, not by trespassing threats, not by talk of arrest, they decided it was time to back off. Of course, their departure didn't come with an apology. Somehow, they were still convinced they were the ones in the right, and now it was just time to retreat and probably find a new target. However, these guys weren't about to let it slide so easily >> because because I'm wanting to stop you guys from doing this to others. >> And if it takes me taking the ride to stop it, then that's what I'm willing to do. But you guys need to understand you can't just throw people off of public property for constitutionally protected activity. >> All right, we didn't. >> Horse dead. >> Yeah, you are. >> Horse [ __ ] >> that's throwing somebody off >> for constitutionally protected activity. Do you not understand that? You're a [ __ ] Ricks. You've talked a circle jerk with me for 40 well 20 minutes and and you can't understand that I allowed you to talk enough to know that you understand this and you're talking a circle jerk to maintain. >> And let's take a moment to ask, how can anyone even be charged with trespassing in front of a public building? I mean, do these officers know that trespassing requires someone to be on private property, then get a warning? And only if they come back, can they actually be charged? This was law enforcement operating on imagination and not law. >> Your qualified immunity and you're protecting her because now you're lieutenants bars. If you give her an order, she's off the hood. >> Yeah, I know exactly what the going on, Rigs. And it's it's shameful behavior. And you need to keep the constitutional alive, mother. You're a piece of [ __ ] for the little circle jerk to play. You're a piece of [ __ ] for the little circle jerk play. You come and write my citation yourself tomorrow. I want you to come write my citation tomorrow. >> Come write my citation tomorrow, rig, yourself. >> All right, Michael. >> Take care. You piece of >> The citizens ended up extremely angry at the officers and honestly no one blames them. Cops like these are the reason people lose trust in those who are supposed to protect them. What do you all think? Do these officers deserve to be fired for the arrogance they showed? Or is that too much? Let us know in the comments because this story here is a perfect example of why public trust in law enforcement keeps crumbling. Now, if you thought this was all bad, you got to wait until you see what's coming next. Just when you think it can't get any worse, another cop steps up to prove us all wrong. Don't miss the next video because the deeper we go, the more disturbing it gets.
