proof of ID. >> I just gave you I just gave you my name and I'm on the insurance. That's how you can verify it. I gave you my name. I'm on the insurance. >> There it is. >> I don't know that, man. >> Well, I'm telling you that. I can't sign that. I didn't make an improper turn. I made the proper turn. >> Okay, we're not going to argue about it, right? >> I know we're not because I made proper turn. So, I didn't make an improper turn. >> People's rights cuz we won't be arrested for filming, >> right? Because filming is not a crime, >> right? But you can't trespass somebody from a public building unless they're committing a crime. >> Today, we're talking about the craziest moments cops got karma in the hood. The kind of incidents where the badge didn't save them from the consequences of their own bad choices. These aren't just minor slip-ups. We're talking about jaw-dropping situations where officers crossed the line, underestimated the people they were dealing with, and ended up paying the price. Let's dive in because what you're about to hear will make you rethink who really holds the power on the streets. about you. >> Look, look at him. He's reaching into my car, opening my door. >> I'm not going to ask you again. Okay. This driver calmly showed his information but refused to physically hand it over, explaining that he had bad experiences because officers did not return documents. Instead of accepting that and writing the details down, however, officer Morales insisted on an unnecessary handover. In a state where display on handover was completely legal, the police preferred to invent a problem rather than simply follow procedure. But because of that same ego, the situation was about to get even more complicated. >> They take too long. So I >> I just going to put it on display for you. That way you can write it down. >> I'm going to go ahead and take it. >> No, you can write it down. What's your name and badge number? >> What's your name and badge number? >> Dep Morales. >> All right. And your badge number? >> Your badge number? >> Hey, sir. MPB and Prairie facing north. Non-e. >> Your badge number? >> 601880. >> All right. clearly putting my stuff on display for him. He just don't want to take it. >> I can't even see it. >> You can write it down, sir. >> Well, I don't know what to tell you. >> Nope. Just when you insufficient, please >> I got it on display for you. >> Can you go ahead and give it to me, please? >> No. I've had problems with too many police officers, so I only I only put it on display now. I don't hand it over anymore. >> What is your name? >> It's on here. >> I I don't know. >> It's on here. >> What's your name? >> James Nelson. >> James what? >> Nelson. >> What's your date of birth? The driver gave the driver gave his full name, date of birth, and driver's license number. Everything the law required. Instead of checking the information, however, the officer claimed the driver was refusing to cooperate. Align the report simply because the details were not given in the way he wanted. And if you're wondering why this man was stopped, well, that's because the officer didn't know either. Mr. Nelson, what agency? >> I don't answer any other questions like that. >> Why are you making this complicated, dude? >> I'm not I'm just going by the law. >> How am I supposed to know who you are if you can't even >> I just gave you my name. That's how you know who I am. >> You have no form of ID. >> I just gave you I just gave you my name and I'm on the insurance. That's how you can verify it. I gave you my name. I'm on the insurance. There it is. >> I don't know that, man. >> Well, I'm telling you that. >> What's your What's your address, dude? >> Sure. Whatever you find on there when you run my name. >> Very simple. Okay. >> It is very simple. So when whatever you find when you run my name, sir, is the address you're gonna get. >> That is how it's going to go. That that is how it's going to go, sir. >> This is what's going to happen. >> That's how it's going to go, sir. >> Simple traffic stop. >> It is very simple. Very very simple. >> I've not I have not failed anything. I've given you my name. I've given you my name, sir. >> The situation escalated when the officer decided to take matters into his own hands and open the car door. This was a clear violation of rights because without a warrant or valid reason, such interference was illegal. Ironically, he claimed the reason was failure to provide identification while already having all the driver's details. How much further do you think this officer was willing to go? >> No, cuz you're lying now. >> I'm not lying. >> Yeah, you are. You just told me I failed to give you my information. >> When you know how to do your >> I just gave you my information. You just told me I just failed. No, I'm not going to stop talking now cuz now you're lying on me and I don't appreciate that. Yeah. You just told me I just failed >> and I just gave it to you. >> You don't have I don't even have >> I just gave it to you. I gave you my name and my date of birth. You want the driver's license number? It's >> I know how this go. >> 138. >> Period. It's the end of it. >> Now, do you want to write down the rest of this information? >> I'm going to go ahead and take it from you. >> No, you're not. Yeah. >> So, well, I'm put it on display for you right here if you want to write it down. >> The keys from your car real quick. >> I could do that. That's fine. I ain't got no problem with doing that. >> Right there. Put on the dash dash. >> No, they're out through ignition. They don't have to be on the dash. They just ought to have to be out the ignition. That's all. >> A second officer, Weaver, appeared and the driver immediately recognized him from past conflicts. Instead of a professional approach, the atmosphere was charged with personal hostility. Weaver became the embodiment of what the police should never be. But all they cared about was feeding their own ego. And unfortunately, they were just getting started. >> Didn't you tell him non-emergency? Why he come with his lights flaring? >> Cuz he has a right to. >> That's right. I guess so. >> Roll down that window, too, please. >> Nah, I'm speaking to you right here. >> Okay. >> Hey, dude. Just stand by with this guy. He's failing to provide any proof of insurance or anything. >> I have all my proof of insurance right here. >> He's willing to give it to me to >> I I have it right here. I have all my proof of insurance right here. What's your name and badge number? >> What's your name and badge number, sir? >> 2782. >> Appreciate it. What's your name and badge number, sir? >> Weaver 647099. >> Ah, yo. >> Yeah, it's me. >> Oh, weaver. Yeah. >> Got you again. >> Sure did. >> Uhhuh. We y'all remember this dude? >> The driver clearly explained the issue. He had given all the information and was ready for the officers to write it down, but he would not physically hand over the documents. Instead of checking the legality and calming the tension, Weaver chose to make the situation worse. Sided with his colleague even though he was wrong. That's a pattern we've all seen before, right? [Laughter] He's back at it again. Wouldn't be able to speak to you a little bit. That's all right with you. >> No, >> nothing. Your partner um he's lying over there. He's saying I never provided him with the registration and insurance is right here. I just didn't want to hand it to him. I've had issues with officers. They don't give stuff back and then I have to travel down to the police department to get it. So, I no longer hand it to people, but I definitely let you take down the information and run it however you need to. He just didn't want to do that. He was being lazy. I gave him my name, my birthday, driver's license, ID number. That's all he wanted to write down. He didn't want to write down any of this. So, >> the officers kept asking for information they had already received, ignoring the fact that the driver was invoking his right to only display the documents. When the officer illegally opened the door, he crossed the line of professionalism and entered the territory of abuse of power. The problem was they didn't know when to stop. These officers were definitely among them. >> Whenever he's ready to write it down, he's more than welcome. I'm not keeping it from him. >> Weaver, how you been, man? >> I've been good. How about yourself? >> I've been great. >> Did you get your uh Mercedes back? >> What Mercedes? >> The black car I told. >> Was it What Mercedes? >> Was it a Mercedes? >> Was it? >> I don't know. >> You told it. You supposed to remember you supposed to be good at your job. >> That's why it's filed in a report. >> You supposed to be good at your job. You tell me what you got. >> I know. I deal with a lot of people. >> Ah, too bad. Uh, >> yeah. Did you get that car back or No, >> I did. >> Okay, that's good. I'm happy you did. >> It's in the shop. >> That's good. >> Getting some work touched up on it. And I got another one, too. >> All right. What's your last name again? >> I gave it to you. Wrote it on your hand. >> Okay. What's your date of birth again? >> I gave it all to you, sir. >> Okay. Well, I can't find you. That's the issue. >> That's a lie. That's not a lie. >> Well, I gave it to you. >> What's your driver's license number? One more time. >> I gave it to you. What do you have? And I'll tell you if you got it correct. >> I'm not going to tell you what I have. You can't even tell me your >> The driver became visibly irritated by the officer's constant repetition of the same questions. Although it was his legal right to express frustration, the officers used it as an excuse to provoke him further. In their minds, not obeying their orders, even if those orders were illegal, made him a criminal. And soon, they were about to do something shocking. >> I gave it to you twice, sir. I got it all on tape. I gave it all to you on tape, sir. >> Give it to me one more time. Do me a favor. Remove that key from there. >> Oh, yeah. I put it in here so I can roll the window down for this officer like you asked me to do. >> Go ahead and roll it down. >> Did you not ask me to do it? I rolled it down. I just never took the key back out. Now I can take the key back out if you would like to. >> Roll it down. >> It's down. >> No. Roll it down completely. >> No, I'm not rolling it down completely. Oh, so now he wants to reach into my car. >> I don't even know who you are. >> Look, now he's reaching into my car. I don't know anything about you. >> Look. Look at him. He's reaching into my car, opening my door. >> I'm not going to ask you again. Okay. Do me a favor. Roll down that window. >> No, I don't have to roll my window down over there. >> I don't even know who you are. >> I'm speaking. You know who I am. I gave you my name. I gave you my birthday. And I gave you my driver's license number. >> Why are you cussing at me? >> Because I can. >> The tactic the officers used here was one of exhaustion. Repeat the same questions until you get an emotional reaction and use that reaction as evidence of disobedience. I don't even know why they were so surprised that the man reacted the way he did. What they expect? Kind words and a gift after violating every single one of his civil rights. >> Because now I'm getting irritated. I can curse if I like irritated cuz I don't know who you are. >> I don't care if you're irritated. I can curse if I like. >> Why do Why should I care that you're irritated? >> I don't care if you care. >> Okay then. >> I didn't say you had to care. >> What is your last name? I gave you my last name, first name, birthday, and the driver's license. >> What's your driver's license one more time then? >> I gave it to you two times. >> Well, I need it one more time. >> Boom. >> Got it. You got it again. >> God damn. How many times you need it? >> Well, I need it several times. >> Well, now you have it more than several times. Now you have it more than several times. No. Well, that take your helmet off. That's your fault. That's your fault you have to wear a helmet. Not my fault, >> dude. Why are you cussing? >> Because I'm irritated now. >> Okay, then. I am irritated now. How hard is that? You just opened my goddamn door, you piece of >> What's >> wrong with you? You going to ask me why I'm irritating >> now? Is he not doing too much? >> The officers denied hearing the information, even though they were just standing a meter away from the driver. Ironically, their cameras were recording every word. If we believe them, then they're admitting to being incapable of hearing and seeing the obvious, which is alarming for people carrying guns. If we don't believe them, this was a deliberate lie to justify their actions. And sadly, that wasn't the worst part. >> Do we not have all my information? >> No. But far as you got here, do he not have my information? Did I not just give him my name, date of birth, driver's license number? Now you don't know what you're here. You're right here. See, that's how these police play games. He's right here now. All of a sudden, he didn't witness me give him anything. So, you didn't see me give him anything? You didn't hear me give him anything? You just in the car? >> Oh, now that's your excuse. Okay. So, did you hear it? >> Nope. >> Ah, you didn't hear nothing either. You standing right there behind him. >> I was behind. >> Ah. >> Walking into the car. >> Ah, y'all pieces, man. Y some pieces of Especially you. We already know you a documented piece of >> I got all my right here. He mad cuz I won't put it in his hand. I'm not putting it in nobody's hand. I don't trust you. As far as I can throw you. >> The driver emphasized he wasn't handing over his documents because they could get the information from the license plate. The officers of course ignored this because that would mean he was right. Instead of using their own resources as entirely expected, they chose conflict. Just listen to what they said. >> Kind of heavy. So it don't look like I could throw you pretty damn far. So definitely won't be handing you. You already illegally opened my door. You breached the goddamn door. You reached through the window, opened up my goddamn handle, try to force my lock open on this side where the other officer at. I had to hold my lock so that he couldn't just open my other damn door. Could you not lean on my car though? >> Could you not lean on my car? It's already dirty. Appreciate it. You too. Thank you. Don't get comfortable. Especially you. The driver stated that he would likely file a complaint against the officer who opened his door instead of recognizing the seriousness of the accusations the officers pretended not to hear. Of course, it was another chance to apologize, walk away, and maybe, just maybe, correct the mistake he had made. But his ego was simply too big for that. >> And he don't even need any of this. He can run the plate and get all this information. That's definitely why I'm not handing it to him, cuz I know I don't have to. He want to run the stop the way he want to. And I'm running this stop, not him. This my stop. I predict how this go. As long as I don't break the law. He shouldn't even reach to my door. He already in violation right now. So, I'mma have to come down to y'all station now and file a complaint. Maybe not on y'all too, but definitely on him. Y'all haven't did nothing wrong yet. He wants to. I don't know. You kind of just here. You already kind of lied about not being able to hear. That's fine. We ain't We ain't tripping off that. Your camera rolling. The conversation shifted into personal hostility. The officer admitted he had no personal reason to dislike the driver, while the driver openly said he did because of the way he had been treated. Instead of maintaining a neutral and professional stance, the officers allowed their personal feelings to influence the official process. It was obvious they had no intention of letting this case go easily. >> I bet you your camera can hear me, but you can't. You can't. You can't hear nothing. I'm saying, >> but you can respond to it. So, you can hear it then. That's all I needed to know. Is your camera rolling? >> Of course it is. >> Better be. You know I don't like you. >> Yeah, I know that. You don't like me either, huh? >> Sir, I have no I really don't care to be honest with you. I deal with a lot of people worse than you. >> Worse than me? Who said I was bad? >> You just said >> who? I never said I was bad. >> The assumption that I don't like you. >> That don't mean that I'm a bad person cuz you don't like me. That don't mean you're a bad person. I got personal reasons why I don't like you, though. >> Okay, then. I don't have personal reasons why I don't like you. >> Okay, that's fine. >> I don't know you like that, so why would I not like you? >> I don't know you like that either, but I don't like how you handle me, so I don't like you. That's simple, right? >> All right, do me a favor. You're getting a citation for three infractions. Okay. >> Maybe the officers thought they were close to proving their point. But in reality, this man hadn't broken any law and wasn't a criminal. What the officers didn't know was that they were about to get karma in the hood, that this man's knowledge of his rights would teach them not to mess with citizens who had done nothing wrong. Three infractions. >> Uh-huh. Window tint and no driver's license of possession. For me, the red box, please. Give me this. You're going to get a copy of the >> And also, can you put the tent reader on there? Cuz you didn't put no tent reader on there. >> California, you cannot have any window tint in the front. >> No. No, you definitely can't. It has to be a certain amount of tint. I'll >> see you in court. How about >> that? It has to be a certain amount of tint. So, are you refusing to put the tent reader on there? >> Anything. >> Are you refusing to put the tent reader on there? >> I'll see you in court. >> And also, can I see the reading that you got on the speed reader? >> I am going to sign. I don't have to sign it at this very moment. I'm asking you questions. >> Well, it don't matter. I'm asking you questions about the traffic stop. So, I don't have to sign it at this very moment. I can ask you questions as well. >> And I can ask you questions. You cannot have any window. >> I can ask you questions >> and I just gave you an answer >> and I'm asking you more. >> I'm never I never said I was going to refuse to sign. The driver received three citations, including one for allegedly illegal window tint. The officer refused to use a tint meter, which would have been the only objective proof. By refusing to measure, he was practically admitting that his judgment was purely subjective. In a state where police swore by evidence, this clearly showed it was a matter of personal opinion, not facts. This wasn't the end of their mistakes. I'm going to sign it just at my leisure. >> I'm going to sign it at my leisure, though, and I have more questions. >> Now, question, >> what was the tent read? I mean, what was the speed read? You got 54 on a 40 with the laser. And how how often do you guys um redo the um >> calibration? >> The calibration. >> Every 3 years. >> Yep. And he got calibrated. >> Nah, I think you got to calibrate that a little more often. Every 3 years. So, we going to definitely see you in court. >> Yep. >> And what was your badge number again? >> It's right there on the box, sir. >> Okay. Just making sure I got it all. And why did you reach into my car and open my door? >> Because you're failing to provide any form of ID. You're failing for >> I failed to provide it. Or did I give you my information? >> Failed to provide it for me. You failed to give me >> I know I didn't fail to give you anything. All of this is here. All of this is here. I just failed to put it in your hand. You're right. I don't The law doesn't state I have to put it in your hand. It says I has to display it. >> Display. No, it says display. >> You have a driver. No. No. >> The driver asked for information about the speed and calibration frequency of the laser, showing he knew his rights. The officer gave answers that seemed imprecise, further undermining his credibility. Here it was clear that the citizen was fighting with arguments questions while the officer was trying to avoid transparency. After all, the one who's right usually has no problem providing all the facts right away, right? >> N I'm talking about this. I'm talking about these documents. >> For me, red box. I'm done talking about these documents in court. >> You said what? >> We can argue in court. Cipher me red box. >> I'm not arguing. I'm asking questions. >> Okay. Answers. >> It's a big difference. >> I'm done giving you answers. >> Very big difference. And if I don't sign, then what? >> Then we will go see judge today. Right now, this morning. >> Oh, okay. That's what happened. >> Yep. >> Okay. Well, let me give you some type of signature so I can get you up out your way. All right. You ready to go? >> Appreciate it. Yep. >> You ready to go? >> I'm ready to go when you >> All righty. Soon as I'm ready, I'mma sign it. Okay. Let me read over it. >> Go for it. You're going to get a copy of it, too. >> Uh-huh. I'mma read this before I sign it, though. >> Okay. >> That's all right with you. >> Oh, it's more than all right. >> Could you not lean on my vehicle, sir? >> I'm I'm doing what's best for me. >> Could you not lean on my vehicle, sir? >> Okay. >> You might be damaging it, scratching it. I don't know. my leisure time might be damaging it, scratching it, I don't know. Could you not lean on my vehicle, sir? >> While reading the citation, the driver insisted that the officer not rest his hands on the car. A professional officer would have respected that, but this one refused. Although it might seem trivial, this was about the right to personal property and its integrity. However, officers don't like being told what to do, even when it's the simplest thing. In their minds, they are the ones giving orders, staying in control. >> Okay, sir. Could you not lean on my vehicle, sir? Okay, sir. Excuse me, sir. Can you not lean on my vehicle? I asked the other officers not to lean on it and they were professional. I asked the other officers, can they not lean on my car? They were professional. Thank you. You piece of >> You're being very immature. >> God damn. Piece of >> Very, very immature. >> No, I'm being whatever I want to be cuz I'm an adult. I'm not going to do that. >> Grown ass 30-year-old man, you're very mature. >> You said what? >> For a grown ass 30-year-old, you're very mature. >> Could you watch your language? >> Nope. I'm not watching my language. Just like you're not. >> You better watch your language. >> See what I mean? >> Yeah. I have >> You're at work though. I'm not. You're at work. I'm not. >> Okay. >> It's a big difference. You have to stay professional. I don't >> have common courtesy and professionalism. >> I don't have to have common courtesy. This America. I can say whatever the I want to. >> That's like you. That's like you gave me your answer. That's the same answer. >> This is America. I can say whatever the I like. >> And you're right. You have the first amendment. >> Right. But you're at work, so you supposed to stay professional. You're not supposed to curse at the people of the public. You dumb piece of >> I'm reading it. I have a reading problem. So I'm reading it slowly. >> The conversation continued with mutual insults, something an officer should never allow while on duty. While the driver openly admitted he was exercising his right to free speech, the officer responded in kind, forgetting all professional standards. Have you ever met an officer this angry just because someone knew their rights? Write to us in the comments. >> I'm reading it slowly so I can make sure I comprehend what's on here. >> Okay, piece of So, you lied on the ticket and put no insurance. >> No, I put yes, you do have insurance. >> Okay. It looked like you marked it on there. You marked both spots. So, I'm not sure what you did. >> Well, that's why I circled it. You do have insurance. >> Well, what did you circle? >> I cled the yes. >> Okay. So, why is there a mark on the no? >> Cuz I made a mistake. >> Oh, cuz you make a lot of mistakes. Obviously, >> I'm a human just like you. >> No, you make a lot of mistakes, obviously. How how did you make that mistake when I presented you with the insurance when you first was here? >> Provide it to me. >> I didn't I didn't fail to provide >> I didn't fail to provide. I just didn't give it to you in your hand. I displayed it like the law say. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, that's one lie he was going to do. Let's read some more. Catching them as we go. And what is this uh this beat in the race and ethnicity? >> Male or black? >> I'm not black. Okay, I'll go ahead and correct that later. >> I'm African. >> Okay. >> Black is not a race, >> so don't um don't mind uh just put me under anything that you like to think I am. >> The driver noticed that the officer had marked both yes and no for insurance on the citation, even though proof of insurance was shown immediately. The excuse was human error. The problem was that mistakes like this often became tools for creating false charges. If the driver had already complied with the law, then marking such was proof of negligence or intent, not coincidence. And on top of that, this officer still had plenty more tricks up his sleeve. >> You could have asked. >> You could have asked. It was really easy to ask him. Not black. What is black? What is black? >> Sir, come on. Just >> No, no, no. I'm reading over this ticket cuz I see I see errors. I see errors. I don't want to sign this contract. >> It's not a contract. >> This is definitely This is contract. If I sign this, this is me legally binding myself to have to show up in court. >> Yes, it is. Yes, it is. It's not admitting to guilt, but it's definitely admitting that I will show up. >> And they got words on here that I don't agree with, like black >> and I'm not black. So, that that that's a couple of issues that I'm having as I'm reading this ticket that you didn't want me to read. You just wanted me to sign like some idiot. And Alrighty then. You ready to go? >> Ready. >> All right, I'm about ready to release you. Just give me a second. >> The citation stated that the driver was marked as black, even though he clearly said he was African. The officer didn't even ask. He just assumed. If it weren't so sad, it would be laughable how far these officers were willing to go. Let's just say they had started putting pressure on this man and trying to manipulate him, something they should never be doing. >> I'm going send you on your way. here for 16 hours. It's all good. >> I'mma sign this ticket under duress because this officer just told me if I didn't sign the ticket that he was going to take me in front of a judge right now. That's what he said. Even though I know I don't have to sign it, I'mma still just put a marking on it to say I did something. So, this is under duress that I'm going to just mark it. >> Thank you, sir. Can I have my pen and my notebook? >> Yeah, I'm going hand it all to you just at my own leisure. Appreciate you. >> Next time don't open the citizen's door, you piece of >> Sir, will you take care? Okay. You have a good day and safe. >> Close my door. >> Bless, sir. >> Close my door, At this point, the officers left, probably feeling satisfied, thinking they had done a good job and it was time for a new victim. However, this man wasn't about to just let them walk away and let it all slide. Now came the part where officers would slowly but surely begin to realize just how wrong they were and that they had picked the wrong person to mess with. >> Shut up. I can put my hand in my pocket. Uh what's your name and badge number? >> Excuse me, sir. What's your name and badge number? You You're here. >> Are you talking to me? >> You. >> Huh? You >> what is your name and badge number? All right, I'll come around. >> Excuse me, sir. >> Excuse me. Can I get you guys' name and badge number? You are on the scene. Okay. Failure to ID. That's going to be unit SH8686. And over there, I can't really tell his unit number. He's a piece of Why did you let them fail ID? >> You asked them. >> All right. Well, I'm going to make a report on them. >> After signing, the driver asked for the names and badge numbers of the officers on the scene. He was immediately met with obstruction, reluctant answers, avoiding eye contact, and trying to walk away as quickly as possible. Refusing to give a citizen identification details was a direct violation of the right to transparency and accountability. But really, could we expect anything better from them? You fumbling and bumbling. >> Say bless her sir. >> You fumbling and bumbling. >> Fumbling or bumbling? >> Fumbling and bumbling. >> I'mma f complain on you too for opening my door. >> One thing about having professionalism, sir. >> Oh, I'm not at work. I don't have to be professional. >> Stupid ass. I don't got to be professional. I don't have to be professional. I'm not at work. Kiss my ass. So, are you still fing ID? >> Excuse me. >> You still fel ID? >> I did. I asked you and her when you guys were up there. Well, what is your name and ID number? >> Uh-huh. And you? >> Yeah. And what's your badge number? >> Cuz I'm pretty sure both of you guys heard me. You see me coming? >> The driver went to the station to file a complaint. As soon as he arrived, he was met by an officer with his hands on his weapon, supposedly because he didn't know what the driver was doing. Putting a hand on a gun without a real threat, wasn't a safety measure. It was an attempt at domination. A citizen coming to report police misconduct should never be greeted like a suspect. >> You wanted to be a pull off and be an >> Yeah. Yeah, that's fine. And you Oh, no. Oh, we're going to have a good day. We're definitely going to have a good day. Excuse me. Let me go make my complaint. B figure out which way to get up in here. from right here. >> What time y'all open? >> 10:22. >> What time y'all open? >> Impial Normandy. That's >> What time do y'all open? >> 10 in the morning. >> All right. I'll be back at 10:00 in the morning. Right here. I'm not going to go on Imperial or nothing. >> I'll be right here. >> Mhm. You shorten the wheel. I'll see. >> Why you got your hand on your gun? >> Cuz I don't know what you're reaching for. >> I ain't reaching for >> Well, get your hands out your pockets. I got my hand in my pocket. It's cold. It's early in the morning. It's 6:30 in the morning. >> 72 degrees outside here. >> Yeah. Well, I'm cold. Your body temperature and mine. You got on all that. Don't >> you have a hoodie on? >> Yeah. Let me file my complaint. >> Let me show you the video footage. >> The driver discovered that the public can no longer freely enter the station. Doors with a code had been installed restricting access. Removing physical access for citizens also removed the ability to directly oversee police work. Transparency was turning into a closed loop where the police answered only to themselves. So, who were they working for if not the citizens? >> Give me one second. >> Got to get your name and badge number real quick. >> It's Justin Smith. >> 51495. >> 514192. >> No. No. 514. >> Uhhuh. >> 952. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Give me uh give me give me one second. >> I don't really appreciate you putting your hand on me cuz if I do that >> Yeah. But had I did it before you did that, then you would have been like, "Oh, don't touch me." Right. Yeah. Come on. I don't appreciate what just happened. And how come this isn't accessible to the public anymore? >> Because this is just a service center. It's not a police station. >> It is. >> No, it actually is. >> Give me one second. >> This is a public This is a public building. >> The public should have access in here. >> So, they didn't locked off the sheriff's station. This gate didn't used to be here. He used to be able to walk right up here. Now they got a cold lock on it. And >> the driver insisted on filing the complaint on the spot, not at another station. This made it clear he wouldn't let the police redirect him as a way to discourage him. Trying to avoid the complaint by sending him to a different location was just another way to wear citizens down, stop them from seeking justice. Who knows? Maybe they hoped he would give up on the idea. But as we said, they were going to get their karma. a gate over there where the public can't even walk up and come in here and ask questions. Over here they got the buzz lock. Also, you got to put your code in. So, how do the people come here, file reports or anything? They just want to send you to the next sheriff station like the other guy was trying to tell me. Go to the one on Imperial. That's the main station. No, we're not doing that. We're going to come right here to where you're stationed at. Play these games with me. That's the mayor if I'm not mistaken. They done got me started early in the morning. going to tell me to go somewhere else. Nah, nah, buddy. Doing this right the here. As a matter of fact, let me go out there cuz he going to probably take forever. Got to just get that look a couple more times. >> Okay. >> Pretty ugly face. >> The officer admitted that the station had superiors, lieutenants, and sergeants, yet still claimed the complaint had to be filed with the watch commander at the main location. This was avoiding responsibility. If the law said that any superior to the person being complained about could take the report, then this was a deliberate violation of procedure. It was becoming harder for them to hide it. >> Why you like me? >> Okay, sir. All right. You ready? >> Yeah. >> Tell me what's going on. >> I'm about to tell you now. >> You got the paper so I can I'm I'm going to do a report on him. I'm filing a complaint. >> No, that that's fine. We don't take complaints here. >> Oh, no. You take complaints here. You're He's stationed here. >> Yeah. >> You're here and I'm going to give a complaint now. But the law state I can give a complaint to any one of his sergeants are overheads. You're over him, right? >> Yeah. >> I'm filing my complaint with you. >> Well, I'm I'm telling you that I don't have the forms here. This is not a This is not a full station. >> Listen, you don't have to have a form. You can put it on a blank piece of paper and y'all can file it on the form later. I'm I'm giving you my complaint though, right now. >> Okay. Tell me what's going on. >> I'm going to show you what's going on. >> Tell me. >> And we need to get this. >> Are you Are you recording now? >> Yeah. All right. >> Let's get the BS. >> Um, so there is no there's no form here. >> Mhm. >> So, I'm telling you the three ways we can do it. Uh, phone, uh, email, or in person at the station. >> I'm in person at the station. Uh, are this is a substation? >> This a station though? >> No. So, what I can what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to call the watch commander that's at the main station so we can work out to so make arrangements for you to get your complaint in. Okay. >> So, let me ask you, how high do the officers go in this building? >> Uh, there is one lieutenant. >> The driver clearly stated he would give the complaint directly to the sergeant present. The officer tried to negotiate, offering phone or email option. Instead of fulfilling his legal duty and writing down the complaint, he wasted time explaining how he would call the watch commander. Who's going to tell them that just because they have time to waste doesn't mean everyone else does? >> Who works um Monday through th Thursday usually? >> So that's the highest goal here is a lieutenant >> here. Yeah. >> So all you need to be able to complain on him is anybody that's over him. So it could have been a training officer, a corporal, a sergeant or a lieutenant. You guys have them all. And your position is what? >> I'm a sergeant. >> You're a sergeant. And you telling me you won't take the complaint? >> That's not what I said. I said >> No, you really won't. You're telling me that I have to go to the watch commander. You're giving me other ways to do it outside of you taking it, right? >> I told you that we're going to work through this. So, what I'm going tell you right now is I'm going to call the watch commander right now and we're going to figure out a way so we can get your complaint in. >> What I would rather you do first is take down the complaint. >> Yeah. >> Rather than go back there and burn all that time, right? I would rather give you my complaint first. Then you can go back there, speak with him, and handle how he's going to obtain it from you. >> Uh, okay. But how how about this? What's your name? >> I'm not going to give up a complaint anonymously. >> When the driver gave his email address and video evidence, the officer finally admitted he understood the content of the complaint. The fact that it took this much arguing to reach such a basic step showed just how the system worked more to discourage complaints than to resolve them. A citizen had to know their rights just to be heard at all. That says everything. >> Okay. and a call back number for you. I'm going to give an email which is going to be citizen safety >> citizen safety >> national news >> safety >> newsgmail.com yep citizen >> safety national news >> now just let him view the whole video I'm not going to give an address that's an address right there email address that's how you can address me. >> Okay. >> And I just let you watch the whole video, right? >> Yeah. >> So, we know what the complaint is. You understand my uh my complaints, right? Where I'm coming from and what issues I had with how he handled that stuff, >> right? >> So, I don't need to break it down for you again, right? Cuz you just viewed the evidence, right? >> Well, you're going to have to once it's being investigated, this is the intake. >> The officer explained that the complaint would go through an intake stage, then an investigation. The driver refused to repeat the details because they were already on the recording which was completely legitimate as the evidence had already been submitted. Any extra retelling without necessity only open the door for misinterpreting what had happened. However, don't be surprised if the officers keep making demands in this encounter. >> This would be the intake part of it and then it'll get investigated >> and then once it gets investigated, you're going to have to break it down again. How can >> I know? I'll I'll give you the footage. I won't be breaking down anything. I'll send you guys the footage and then you can break it down. Yeah, that's fine. And then break down your your complaints and your grievances about how it went down. >> Yeah. >> All you got to do is give me an email to send it to. >> Yeah. >> And I'm usually in touch with the lieutenant over there on Imperial. What's his name? Uh >> there's >> not Scott Collins over there. His name is uh I want to say I got a few emails from him. So, I got his email over here. >> Sure. Uh, that's my email. >> All right. See, >> and you can send you can send that video. >> I can send a video or a written complaint here. And you would have to handle it. >> Right. What I'm But what I'm tell I'm not I'm not refusing to take your complaint. >> But the driver accused the officer of trying to send him to another station at the start to avoid taking the complaint. The officer denied it, but unsuccessfully. The recording captured everything. Only when the citizen was persistent and informed the process move forward. This clearly showed how easily uninformed citizens could be denied their rights simply because they didn't know the procedure. >> It sounded like it up and all right. Look, I I I'll put it to you like this. If I didn't know what I knew and I didn't challenge you on it, you would have sent me out this door to the other place to make the complaint. Right or wrong? Because that's what you started with. You was telling me you don't take them here. You can go down there to the main building. X Y and Z, right? Up until I started to push the the issue about it and now we're getting some stuff done now. Right? Had I did not know what I knew, I would be out the door heading over there. Right. >> Well, that's your perception of it. >> But that's what you were trying to have me do then. Right or wrong? Maybe. Maybe. Okay, watch this. Maybe you feel like I took it wrong. So, reiterate what you were telling me in the beginning. >> We take complaints to the watch commander. >> But the first thing you said was we don't take complaints here, right? >> Because there is no watch commander here. >> But you did say y'all don't take complaints here, right? >> Because there So, you're missing the >> But the first time you didn't add there was no watch commander. I had to ask you questions, further questions up until you don't, right? I don't know why we're arguing about this. >> No, no, no. We're not arguing. I'm just asking some questions. >> The argument continued over whether the officer had said from the start that complaints were not being taken. Attempts to downplay it didn't erase the fact that he had left out key information about the commander's absence. Transparent conduct would mean sharing all relevant details right away, not only after repeated insistence. However, these officers kept trying to prove their point even though they didn't stand a chance. >> Clarification and for transparency. Right. In the beginning, I asked you and you told me you just don't take complaints here. You didn't add the fact that you didn't have a watch commander here until about five minutes into our conversation. Right. >> Well, if that's what you perceived. >> No. No. Tell me if I'm wrong. >> No. In my recollection of it, it was very close to >> But did you mention it in the same sentence of we don't take complaints here? You didn't say that. >> You're asking me to recall words that I put together in a sentence, >> right, >> 20 minutes ago, >> right? Because I was paying attention. I was paying attention. So if you wasn't paying attention, >> if it's an issue, it was on camera. It was on my camera and I can review it and then I can adjust the way that I approach people. >> There you go. See, that's as long as you're able to do that because at first you were just basically sending me out the door. We don't do them here. You got to go to the main building. We don't have watch commanders. X Y and Z. Once I started asking questions, then we got down to this. >> Well, here we are. >> Here we are now. >> Yeah. >> And now I have your card. >> The conversation ended with the officer admitting that the complaint could have been taken right away. Great. Something that could have been done in 5 minutes took much longer because the officer thought he was above the law. Honestly, I don't know which officers were worse, the one who stopped the man or the ones who greeted him at the station. And unfortunately, they weren't the only ones, as you'll now see in our next case where an officer was accused of bias during a crash investigation. [Music] Speaking of the craziest moments cops get karma in the hood on January of 2024 in Corporal Robert Riley from the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office was accused of bias during a crash investigation after blaming one of the drivers. The complaint mentioned racial elements and favoritism, noting masonic and thin blue line stickers on the other driver's vehicle. So, let's see what actually happened here. >> Hey, what happened? >> Um, the entire like I think you were in front of me. If you were going this way about 35 minutes ago, son and I was uh riding 20. There's a cop in front of me, Cher County Sheriff. >> This guy was riding my butt the whole time. 2 in off my butt. >> You going eastbound? >> I'm going this way. Correct. I make a right on the Union Hill. Yeah. >> This guy still 2 in off my butt. My son's with me. One of our church members just took him out of my car for me to witness. >> I make a right. He's still on my butt. And I said, "Crew, we're I'm I'm going into the turning lane to let this guy pass me." Apparently, we've got I may have said this before, he's got places to go. So, as I move into the turning lane to let him pass me >> cuz he's riding. >> Um, he apparently mashed his accelerator to pass me in the turning lane as well. >> And y'all crashed and then what happened? >> That's it. I pulled over. >> The first driver described how the other had been tailgating him 2 in from the bumper while he was driving with his son. So, he moved into the turning lane to let him pass. The result, a collision when the other driver tried to overtake. The officer listened without visibly questioning the details or trying to verify the claims of dangerous driving. Still, don't let this fool you because soon the whole case will be turned upside down. >> I have nothing to say. >> I got you. >> Hello. >> Hey, good morning, sir. How's it going? >> What's your phone number, sir? >> And what happened? >> Uh, we both made the right turn coming off back there. The gentleman got over and before it turns into a turn lane, I still had enough room to try and pass him. And so that I wouldn't pass him, he pulls over and jams on his brakes and I ended up clipping the front end of my vehicle. So that is and I understand that if you look at the debris from the momentum, it carries my my garbage into the turn area, but it happened before that and that's what happened. I I wish there were cameras, but I'm not going to get emotional at the end of the day from the point of impact because I hit him in the rear. I'm sure it's going to be my fault. Mhm. >> But >> why are we trying to pass him? >> Well, I'm trying to get to volunteer at North Point. That's where I'm headed. I'm a >> North Point. What? >> North Point Community Church. I'm a I'm in a small group. I'm a >> coach in the children's ministry. >> So, I was trying to go around them because on the way down the street, I'm driving at what, 45? I think that's either 35 or 45. The second driver admitted he tried to pass before the lane became turn only and that he hit the rear of the other vehicle. Still, he downplayed his own fault, suggesting the first driver had braked on purpose. And already here, you could slowly see whose side the officer had been on from the very start. Can't you? >> And the guy's doing 25 and just mossing around. So when we made the turn, he goes ahead and gets over and I'm like, "Okay, awesome. I can go ahead and just >> Yeah. He says that you're riding his butt the whole way. There's no way I was riding his butt the whole way because there was another police car right in front of him. So I But yeah, that's either >> So maybe the police officer you're saying was mosying around and >> it wasn't No, it wasn't the police officer cuz the police officer was probably uh I guess the distance from here to Revolution sign. I don't I don't know if that's quarter of a mile. I can't do the distance thing, >> but yeah, but the guy was just doing like 25 and a 45. I see him in the car, you know. I don't know if he's talking to someone. I don't know if he's yelling at his kid. He's sitting there having a moment. >> Yeah. Telling you to back off. >> I wasn't I wasn't on him. If he has a camera, fine. Show me where I was on his tail. I was a car length behind him minimum. >> Well, yeah, you're going to be found at for this one. >> I'm I'm sure. >> What's your uh what's your little son? What's your son's last name? >> Yeah, it was it was low speed. We were probably doing five or 10 miles when I started to accelerate and then Yeah. So, who's going to come get your car? >> Uh, you said that you would probably call a tow truck. I'm going to send it. >> A contradiction came up in the conversation. The second driver denied tailgating, claiming a police car had been in front of the first vehicle. The officer didn't ask for a precise clarification, nor did he question the exact distance or time gap. This lack of critical questioning meant the testimony was taken at face value, as if the officer had already decided in advance what he was going to do. >> You want me to call you a tow truck? >> I I I don't have a choice. I I haven't called one yet. I'm trying to see if my guys But if you don't mind, >> we can go ahead and get the process started. >> Dump seven check next to the same. >> What kind of damage is done to your vehicle? >> Factory driving. questionable how long that air will tire will hold air because it's folded up on the rim. But that's my church. Uh when I get in there, >> Revolution. >> Yeah. Yeah. R.J.'s my guy. I love R.J. Um >> who's R.J. >> Isn't his name R.J.? Do I have his name wrong? >> Josh Watkins. >> Josh. Oh my god. Sorry, I'm mixing up with someone else. Uh yeah, he's the one that protects our >> um yeah, I'm going to park there and swap that out for my spare cuz I just don't trust that it will hold air, but I'll limp that home. I have other cars at home. >> Okay. So, but when when it crashed, were you in the right hand lane? >> Yes, he was on my butt and I So, I told my son I was like, "Son, we're going to let him pass." Jokingly, I'm like, "He's probably got somewhere real urgent to be on my butt." >> Is he going to church, too? >> Yeah. >> Oh. So, I get in the the turning lane, but he had already mashed his accelerator to get in the turning lane to pass me that he sideswiped me. >> The first driver repeated that he had intended to let the other pass, but the second had already started overtaking, caused a side impact. The officer was satisfied with a short okay without checking skid marks, vehicle positions, or any other physical evidence at the scene, and soon you'll see who the officer's favorite was in this conflict. >> I was doing the right thing. I'm like, Yeah. Okay. >> There's your case card and your driver's license. Okay. >> Can I go? >> Yep. You're good. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate it. the big pieces out of the road. >> Yeah, >> I guess the guy was going too slow for him, so he decides to go around him while the other guy is like I just tried to I was tried to get over to let him pass and just smashes right into him. So, yep. So, I'm gonna get him feel better, >> huh? >> A little bit. My throat still hurts, but it's like the I'll be fine. >> Yeah, but I'm going to get I'm going to write a couple citations for this guy. >> Go for Hey, Siri. Call my >> between official actions, the officer commented on the situation to a colleague, assuming the second driver was simply in a hurry because the first was going too slow. Instead of neutral account of events, we saw a narrative forming in favor of one participant. And let's be real, they hadn't even listened to the story properly. >> Well, calling Mike Wells mobile. >> What up? >> Hey, I'm still recording. Uh what's the what's what would be the the camera that's like closest to this uh crash going eastbound on 20. >> The flock camera. >> Yeah, the flock camera. >> Going eastbound on 20. >> Is that Kelly Drive? Is that eastbound? >> Uh sh that would be >> all right. >> I think so. Then that's what I that's I'll look it up cuz he's just saying that he was right on his ass and if I can prove it then I'll just ride him for aggressive as well. >> Yeah. >> All right man. Appreciate it. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> The officer contacted a colleague to check surveillance footage aiming to possibly add a citation for aggressive driving but only if it proved the second driver had been tailgating. But that's not what I wanted to draw attention to. Did you catch it when the officer first said he was still recording? Excuse me. Why even point that out? >> Yeah, that probably would be it. >> Yeah. All right, cool. And that's what I look preset. Thanks. >> Someone coming to get y'all? >> I was trying to call. >> What's that? >> I guess I have to call. Uh, your first citation's for improper turn. >> Improper turn. I can't sign that. I didn't make an improper turn. I made the proper turn. >> Okay, we're not going to argue about it, right? >> I know we're not because I made a proper turn. So, I didn't make an improper turn. >> Well, you either sign it or you go to jail. >> Well, you either sign it or you go to jail. >> It's that's that's not how it works. I didn't make an improper turn. >> Where's the improper turn? >> You can't You can't turn, man. You can't You can't >> Why can't I turn I pass? You can't There's a difference between an improper turn. >> Yeah, I got I got improper pass right here. You're right. >> If it's an improper pass, that's fine. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> All right. >> Second one's falling too closely. >> There's There's no way. >> Come on. >> There. No, I didn't follow too close. There's no way. Just pulled out in front of me. >> Fine, brother. >> There. All right. There's your copy and your driver's license. The officer issued the first citation for improper turn. And maybe you think that sounds fine, but there's one problem. The driver hadn't made an improper turn. Internal affairs reviewed the footage, questioned Riley under the Gity protection, and cleared him of wrongdoing. What do you think? Was this case fair and why? Let us know, and we'll move on to the next case where an officer lost it over a First Amendment audit. [Music] A journalist approached a police vehicle and started recording, to which an officer immediately responded with, "Why are you filming inside?" Instead of recognizing the citizens's right to film public property, he tried to restrict access under the excuse of safety. It was clear this would be just the first domino to fall. And with each passing second, things were only going to get worse. >> How can I help you? >> I'm asking, "What are you doing? Why so many of you?" Investigative journalism. >> What are you doing inside of the vehicle? What are you investigating? I >> just told you city property. >> Taking it. >> City property. >> Just take about a step back from >> So how am I going to see inside of it? >> You're not supposed to see inside. >> Why not? >> Because I don't know if you have an ID in your back and I want you close to my van. That's >> have a what? >> ID. You know what ID is? >> IED. >> Oh, I thought you said ID. >> No. I >> No. the improvis. >> No, I know what you're talking about. Yeah. >> Know that. I don't know what >> I just told you. >> I don't I can't believe it. >> One of the cop guys. >> I don't I don't >> Why not? >> Because you get your phone up to any sign. >> Yeah. >> You shouldn't see. [Music] >> Why would there Why would there be sign that I shouldn't see? You hear what he said? He just said that you guys might have something in the van that the public's not supposed to see. Why would you guys have something in the van that the public can't see? That's suspicious. >> Like drugs. You guys have drugs. >> The officer admitted that the vehicle might contain things the public shouldn't see. Instead of explaining that through a lawful classification of information, the statement sounded like an admission that there could be something questionable inside. The citizen rightly asked, "Why would a publicly funded vehicle carry something secret?" And if that doesn't sound suspicious to you, I don't know what does. >> Radiation. >> Yes. You have a vehicle. >> Anything you have in these vehicles that drive by, right? >> Anything that's in this van is public information. >> It's in public property. >> It's not public property. Police department. >> Who owns who funds the police department? The city. >> The city. >> It is. >> I can't drive it. Yes, we could. >> Yes, we could. >> What's the law? >> Is that a policy or a law? >> Right. >> You say you can't, but we could though. >> What's more, what's higher, policy or law? >> You can't put policy over law. >> It's a public building. We could record any public building. Any public area of a public building. We could n we can't go into the jail cells and places like that, but in the public lobby of a police station, we should be able to film. But they're enforcing Listen, they're enforcing that policy as if it's law and they're violating people's rights cuz we won't be arrested for filming. >> No, you can't, >> right? Because filming is not a crimeass, >> right? But you can't trespass somebody from a public building unless they're committing a crime. So you can't just ask cuz if I'm going into a police precinct, I'm conducting business. That means I have a lawful right to be there and I have a lawful right to record. Now what they're doing in the precincts is violating our rights because we have every right to be there. We have every right to record. It's a public area. The conversation shifted to filming inside police building. The citizen clearly distinguished between the law and internal policy explaining that department rules could not be above the law. Police often abused policy to create the impression that something was forbidden even when the law allowed it. Once again, this officer wasn't just clueless. He was also a bad person. Just look at how angry he got because someone knew what they were doing. >> Oh, we're fighting it. New York City, New Yorkers are fighting it because it's unconstitutional. You know what I mean? Whatever I can see from the public, it's the same thing. >> It's a plain view doctrine. Just like every time you >> Yes, it is. I can see it from public. >> You can't see. >> Yes, I could. >> Go to the tent. >> Even if I don't even if I don't go even if I go like that, I can see. Yeah. I'm not damaging the vehicle. I'm not breaking into it. >> I mean, our ve our vehicle I pay taxes. It's called check. So do I. >> It's called checks and balances. That means I can check up on public property. I can check up on you. >> I have supervisor. >> Yeah. It's investigative. It's investigative journalism. >> Really? >> Very important as an American to check up on my government and to see where my tax my taxes go. >> Yeah. So, you took two oaths to protect my rights. >> So, you know, I'm not committing a crime. I'm engaged. Crime? >> Yeah. You >> But I'm saying you could have an ID on your back, right? >> But I don't. >> But I don't know. Unless >> Anybody can Anybody can have a IED. No, I'm okay. >> I'm okay. You're just going to have to take my word for it. >> I I do, but I don't know. >> And photography isn't Photography isn't terrorism. There's case law on that. >> Yeah, there's case law on that. >> After both acknowledged that this was investigative journalism, the officer tried to redirect the citizen to move along. Although he said the man was free to go, the citizen clearly pointed out that it also meant he was free to stay. This exposed one of the common tactical manipulations. Once again, they were far from done. >> That's my vehicle. My vehicle said >> our vehicle. This our vehicle. >> It is our vehicle. This is New York New York's vehicle. Yeah. Just investigating. These these officers didn't say anything. They don't have no problem with it cuz I'm not a threat. >> I'm not hearing no ill intent. I'm just investigative journalism. >> I don't know. >> Yeah. But why would you have anything in there that you're not supposed to have? It's you guys work for the public. You're supposed to have >> I know the irony of the situation. >> What's that? >> We're doing our job making sure everything is safe. That you're not going to harm us or anybody. >> I'm not here to harm you or anybody else. >> We're doing We're just making sure by talking to you, investigating ourselves. >> Good. >> Asking questions. All right. >> Yeah, me too. >> So, there's no need. >> You're investigating me. I'm investigating you. >> All right. >> That's the way it goes. >> You can investigate elsewhere, too. All right. Cuz chances are if you're going to continue to look into police vehicles, you're going to get questions. >> That's fine. I've answered your questions. >> I have nothing to hide. I told you my intent. >> No problem. Mary, you're happy, right? We're happy. >> No, I told you my intent. You know my intent. I'm not here to no alien intent. I'm just investigative journalism. Checks and balances. That's it. >> You guys should be used to it. You guys get filmed all the time. >> Yeah. No, >> do me a favor. You know, >> can you got to do me a favor first? >> What's up? >> Can I get $10? Can you what? >> $10. >> $10? I don't got $10.
