Can I have you step out for me? >> Can I pat you down? >> No. >> Okay, Richard, you're under arrest. Okay, place your hands behind your back for me. >> You asked if I had a gun on me. I didn't. >> Now with an assault rifle. >> Yeah, >> it it's definitely going to raise some eyebrows, but hey, second amendment constitutional right, man. >> Oh, so my first amendment doesn't mean anything, right? >> What's your name, B? >> F11792. Your issue is >> What is your problem? My problem is you shouldn't be done. >> That sounds personal. >> Yeah. Hey, am I breaking the law? >> Oh boy. Oh boy, are we in for a treat today. Because when corrupt cops start making up their own laws on cameras, we get to see it in beautiful 4K. What begins as routine interactions quickly spirals into officers twisting rules, pushing intimidation, and exposing themselves in ways they probably never expected. This isn't about justice. It's about power. And the footage speaks louder than any badge. So without any further delay, let's get straight into it. >> Just a question. >> Can I finish first? >> No. >> No, I can't finish. >> Let Mr. Miller finish. Why can't I finish? >> Cuz I'm talking to you now. >> Okay. Well, I'm still talking to him. >> But I'm asking you. >> First minute in and the cop can't decide if the spot is public or private. One thing's clear, though. When corrupt cops make up their own laws on camera, it's always caught in 4K. He warns about safety while blocking the shot himself. That twisted logic sets the stage for just how far they'll stretch things to make recording look like a crime. >> How's it going? >> Good. >> Sergeant Danny Martinez with the trans police department. Is there anything we could help you out with? >> No. Is there is there a problem? >> Yeah, the problem is you're on private property reporting, man. And you got to get authorization from BU public affairs to do that. >> And they're closed, right? Do you have authorization for via public affairs? >> They be on public property. >> Well, it's it's public property, but it's private property as well. Okay. It's open to the public, but like I said, if you're going to be out here reporting, you got to get authorization for vehic. >> All right. I'll step back on the sidewalk. >> That's cool, man. >> Anything else I can help you with? >> Now, you're on public property, so that's fine. >> All right. >> Don't stand in the driveway cuz you're going to get hit by a car, man. I mean, you tell me I can't film over there, so I'm just trying to get my footage. And after I get my footage, I'm going. Okay. Well, >> don't stand in the driveway. You're in the driveway. You're going to get hit by car. >> Right here's probably better. >> All right. >> I don't want you to get hit, man. >> There you go. >> Only cops could turn a guy holding a camera into a suspicious threat. They dropped the buzzword critical infrastructure, like filming buses, is the same as plotting an outright attack. And instead of walking away, they plant themselves right in front of the lens. If you thought the first encounter was petty, well, wait until you see how far they're willing to drag this. >> You guys going to stand here the whole time? >> Yeah, while you're out here. >> Why? >> Cuz you're out here. >> Is there a problem in being out here? >> Well, it's suspicious activity. That's what we got to call for. >> What's suspicious? >> Just reporting. >> But how But how is that suspicious though? >> Consider this area critical infrastructure. Let me ask you that. >> How is it critical infrastructure? It's a public transportation system. mass transit. You don't you don't think there's opportunity for a terrorist act to happen. You know, >> anybody can get on a bus, right? They don't have to have ID. All they have to have is >> How do we know you're not doing some kind of reconnaissance for a terrorist act? >> You don't need to, though. But like I said, I have no ill will intent. I don't I don't have no ill will intent against you guys. Okay. >> Well, I don't know you. I don't know that. >> So, you guys just going to stand in front of my camera the whole time? >> Yeah. This is this is our our employer's property so you can be out here. >> Really? >> Okay. >> A bystander walks up and asks the obvious. Why are the cops hassling someone with a camera? Instead of answering, the officers puff and flex the fact they're armed. As if that settles everything. It's intimidation disguised as conversation. The cameraman just wants footage. The passerby wants answers, but the police want control. And the more they talk, the less sense their excuses actually make. >> You guys make it downtown yet or no. >> There's a bad thing going on. >> I'm just trying to get my footage, man, and I'm gone. >> Well, I can talk to you, right? There's nothing illegal or immoral about that, right? >> Why y'all stop the general? I just happen to walk by and see y'all messing with him and just wondering what I was just out here voluntarily talking to, man. I was two with guns standing in front of me. I always feel like I want to step away as well. >> Are you not wearing a weapon? >> Oh, I sure am. And this is a good reason why. >> So that way a cop would approach me and and try to intimidate. >> You approached us, man. >> Exactly. And I'm just trying to get some information. And you've been real like standoffish and I was trying to get some. Like I said, I wasn't asking like I told this gentleman right here. Now, the cops suddenly claim the property is their house. Taxpayer reminder, it's public space. But apparently, they've decided they own it. When the cameraman mentions recording interactions for accountability, the officer admits their department doesn't even use body cams yet. So, citizens with cameras are clearly the problem here. While cops walk around conveniently unrecorded, it's a double standard on full display, and they don't even try to hide it. Now, this is our house, so we're going to stay out here. It's our property. >> I can Well, I paid for it, so it's part of my property as well. >> Okay. Well, it belongs to my employer, so I'm speaking to him right now. >> And so, I mean, again, it's my property as well, too, you know, and I was a lot saw. >> Ask me a question, man. First question. I really appreciate it. >> You got enough for your YouTube video, man. So you don't have to connect. I just can't be a citizen. Everybody [Applause] report everything. We don't have [Music] invest. Yeah, we just haven't got to make sure it's coming individual. Just like every other industry. >> Now, the officer shifts gears, claiming the cameraman came off confrontational. Translation: If you don't speak with the tone they approve of, you're automatically aggressive. According to them, even raising your voice slightly is a red flag. It's a convenient trick, labeling normal behavior as hostility, so they can justify hovering longer. And when called out, the cop just shrugs it off with agree to disagree. Real professional, buddy. >> Yeah. I know parks got them and I've had times worried about whether or not you had that camera on or not. I actually I don't seem like the winner. I was just like I said you came off kind of competition and that's the reason why I report because a lot of couch went 16 competition. >> I I don't know what I said or didn't come off competition you know like I'm talking now but if I was to go a little higher you feel that that's aggression. Well, I I perceived you as the rest of the solution. >> It's cool. >> Maybe I heard you wrong. >> If you disagree, that's all right. >> All right. Now, you do the same. >> The cameraman points out the obvious. A guy with an assault rifle strolls by and that's perfectly okay. But a camera, well, that's clearly a threat. The cops defend the rifle under the Second Amendment. But when it comes to the first, suddenly you need authorization. And their solution? Shadow him everywhere he goes, like babysitters with badges. All this drama over a lens while the rifle barely raises an eyebrow. >> Hey, do you guys consider that suspicious? >> Do you guys consider that suspicious? >> Yeah. With an assault rifle? >> Yeah. It It's definitely going to raise some eyebrows, but hey, second amendment constitutional right, man. >> Huh? So, my first amendment doesn't mean anything, right? >> I said, so my first amendment doesn't mean anything, right? >> Your first amendment? >> Yeah. >> Like I told you, if you're going to record here, you got to get authorization from me. >> Even on a public sidewalk? >> On our property, man. You're on a public sidewalk now. We're going to go. >> I know, but you guys are going to keep following me. >> We're going to stay out here while you're out here. Yeah. >> So, if I go down that way, you guys going to keep following me? I don't I don't care if you stay out here, but I'm just like I mean, you going to babysit me, you know? >> Are we going to put you in handcuffs or jam you up? >> I said it. I'm just saying like I just don't want to be babysitting. >> Well, as long as you're out here, we can be out here, too. >> That's fine, but I'm just saying like, you know, just do what y'all got to do. But like I said, I'm not bothering anybody. >> We're going to stay out here 2 minutes. >> Okay. No problem. It's all about over. >> This guy had an assault rifle. That's nothing. >> The double standard couldn't be louder. Rifles get respect. Cameras get harassment. And when the cameraman won't play along, the cops pivot again. Now it's all about whether he's a paying customer. Translation: Free speech only applies if you buy a bus ticket. They don't need proof of wrongdoing, just another excuse to flex their authority. Just watch how fast public property suddenly becomes conditional property in their hands. >> So they want to uphold the second but not the first. Hey, >> partner. You waiting for the bus, man? >> You going to catch the bus out of here, sir? Am >> I being detained? >> Say again. >> I'm not being detained. >> No, I'm asking you a simple question. >> I don't ask questions. >> Say again. >> I don't answer questions. >> You don't ask questions? >> I do not. >> All right. Well, that's that's all we're trying to get at. >> Now, the cops push harder, demanding proof that he's a paying customer. When he won't answer, they twist silence into guilt. If you don't speak, you must be trespassing. It's harassment repackaged as policy. A power game dressed up like customer service. The cameraman points out the absurdity, but the officers double down. At this point, it's less about buses and more about bending someone into compliance. >> If you're a paying customer, you're good to go. If you're not >> If you're not a paying customer, then you're going to have to go. Okay. >> I don't ask questions. So, are you busy? >> Don't answer questions. >> You got to go, man. >> Don't ask questions. >> Sir, >> this seems like harassment. >> This is the second time, sir. I'm asking you to leave. >> Why? >> Because you're not a paying customer. You're not utilizing the transit service. >> What about you, sir? Are you going to catch the bus? >> So, are you going to leave? >> Because I'm trying to catch the bus. >> You said you weren't answering any questions. Now you're answering questions. >> Hello. Well, obviously you're going to kick me out so I can't catch the bus. So, what do you want? >> Because I'm not a paying customer. Is that what you're saying? >> But how do you know that? >> Because you refuse to answer questions. >> I don't have to answer questions. I really don't. >> The officers keep circling the same question. What bus are you taking? When he won't play along, they threaten jail and announce they'll wait through multiple bus routes just to prove he's really catching one. That's not policing. That's harassment with a stopwatch. Imagine uniformed officers turning into bus monitors. All because someone dared to hold a camera. Power trip first public safety somewhere way down the list. >> And if you're sitting here, that means that you're a paying customer and you're going to pay for service. So, did you just answer your own question? You do is just walk back and forth with me. >> Well, the bus ain't here yet. So, you going to sit here the whole time? >> What bus are you taking? >> I don't have to answer any questions. You already answered your own question. >> You already answer your own question. >> Go, brother. >> You already answered your own questions. You said if I'm sitting here, I'm a paying customer. >> Are you going to leave or >> You said if I'm sitting here, I'm a paying customer. >> Leave or not, sir? >> I'm catching a bus. >> You want to go to jail for criminal trespass? >> I said I'm catching a bus. >> Make the decision. >> I'm catching a bus. >> What bus you catching? >> It's irrelevant. You can't even answer my question. It's irrelevant. That's like going to the movie. You just ask me if I was a watch movie, but I don't know what I'm watching. >> This was like harassing. >> Hey, this is what we're going to do, partner. We're going to wait for the two routes that come through this bus stop to come by here. If you don't catch the bus, then that means you weren't catching the bus. >> Do what you got to do. >> Get on the bus. >> Say again. >> Do what you have to do. Okay. We're going to do that, man. >> Are y'all? >> We're going to do the same for you, too, sir. >> Y'all are going to stop us now. What's up, guys? >> How's it going? >> See you again. >> How you doing? >> You guys haven't learned your lesson. >> You guys haven't learned your lesson. The officers claim it's simple. If you're not using the bus, you've got to leave. But when the cameraman makes it clear he is catching the bus, they still hang around. One even admits the guy said he wouldn't answer questions. So why are they still here? The truth slips out. They're not enforcing law. They're enforcing obedience. And the longer they linger, the pettier it looks >> weren't you here the other night with me? Yeah, but this time you guys are at the bus stop. So now the bus for its intended purpose and we got to ask you guys to leave. >> Yeah, we get the game. We're all going to catch the bus. >> That's what we're doing here. >> Good to go. That's all we're trying to find out. >> Take a bus. >> That's all we're trying to find out. If you're paying customers, you know. >> Has anybody indicated that the bus? >> Okay. So he indicated that he's fixing the bus. Why are you guys still here? >> Actually, he wasn't asking any questions. >> Okay, good. So, why are you guys still here? I think he has a right to answer the question. I'm sure that you guys got >> forcing me up, man. You're probably the guy with the camera, not the guy with the camera. >> I thought I guess that but the question is that um you know, we're out here to catch the bus. We're filming for what? We're not breaking the law. Why are you guys here? I mean, why why are y'all special? because so we were filming before we got here about 27 people and you guys never seen out on. >> The cameraman points out the obvious. Dozens of people come and go at the bus stop with zero police attention. But the second cameras appear, officers sworn. Dispatch may have sent them there, sure, but nobody told them to loiter like hall monitors until he boards a bus. It's not law enforcement, it's selective enforcement. proof that filming, not trespassing, is what really triggered this overblown babysitting session. >> Why are you guys coming out on us? >> The other day I'm sorry, >> traffic's going back in. >> I filmed about 30 people come in and do various things, walk in and out, catch the bus and whatnot, and nobody ever came out. But we're out here with cameras. You guys show up. >> We got dispatched up. >> Okay. So, >> so I don't I can't tell you to speak about what happened earlier, >> right? So, so I I get that you guys got dispatched, you have to come out. These guys are still here and you express that you're willing to wait until we catch the bus and that just cuz it seems like normal behavior police officers for people that are going to catch the bus. You guys don't normally do that with other people. We're not breaking any kind of law. Um, open therapy is consistent with me as policy. And so my question would be why did you find the necessary to stay here until we catch the bus? To me, it just it's just my opinion. To me, it seems, and I could be wrong, but to me it seems you guys don't like what we're doing. So, you guys are going to just sing us out as special to make sure we get on the bus. And that way, if we know the cameraman calls it like it is, the cops are hanging around waiting for a chance to flex control if he doesn't board a bus. He points out that he should be free to read public notices or stand on public property without being babysat. Instead of addressing that, the officers play word games, cutting him off mid-sentence, demanding obedience and calling silence resistance. It's intimidation masquerading as conversation. >> You guys can exercise some control and get something properly. And to me, it's just not proper. We should be able to walk up in there and there's some paper that's available. We should be able to read the public notices that are up there at any time. And you guys are are are coming out and under criminal law you guys are like we're going to wait till you get on the bus for what? And and it's and on top of that it just seems like you guys obviously have a purpose for the an important purpose and that is to fight crime security you know protect the uh patrons that are on bus drivers so on and so forth. You guys aren't doing that here and I think you guys have established we're not getting you guys know what we're doing here. You guys are choosing the state. You're in that. That's my question. If I can back up a little bit. Okay. I asked him exactly, "Are you a paying customer?" He said, "I'm not going to answer any questions, right?" >> Okay. He was very resistant about it. That's all I'm trying to find out. >> So, exercise my brain is being resistant. >> Did I finish? >> Just a question. >> Can I finish first? >> No. >> No, I can't finish. >> Let Mr. Miller finish. Why can't I finish? >> Cuz I'm talking to you now. >> The cameraman nails the hypocrisy. Cops bend over backwards to respect the Second Amendment, yet trample the first and fifth like they don't exist. He compares bus questions to asking what movie you're seeing without knowing the title. Nonsense logic dressed as authority. And when someone with a rifle nearby raises concerns, the cops shrug it off. Cameras get chased. Rifles get a pass. Priorities couldn't be clearer. >> Okay. Well, I'm still talking to him. >> But I'm asking you, am I I'm being resistant? Do >> you mind? You okay? Not cuz it's just it's it's dumb >> because he can respect the second amendment but she can't respect my first and my fifth. >> That doesn't make sense to me and that and that really upsets me. >> I I would like to know question. I said okay so you don't know what bus router caption to you. I said, it's kind of like going to the movie theater and saying, "I don't know what movie I'm going to watch, but I'm here." Cool. If you're going to wait for the bus route, what time is the bus coming? Usually people that wait for the bus route know what time the bus route is coming. And they know what bus they're taking that consistently take. So, >> and then the guy with the rifle, if the employee just pulled up and said, "Hey, there's a guy with a rifle. What's going on?" Second Amendment. They're allowed to do that. Okay. Well, is he coming over here? What is he doing? He was legitimately afraid. >> The cameraman laid it all out. The cops literally turned their backs on a man with an assault rifle betrayal him for holding a camera. He can't grasp how exercising the first and fifth is resistance while the second gets automatic respect. It's selective outrage in uniform. Rights become suspicious when citizens use them. He even points to the complaint hotline, but everyone knows that's just theater, too. >> You know, why is he here with a rifle at this time of night? He said, "It's the Second Amendment. You're filming. You're allowed to do this." Okay. and you felt okay. You said, "We're not freaking out, so you don't have to." >> That's the root of my issue here. >> Okay. >> My thing is that I don't understand how my first and my fifth amendment right come off resistant and suspicious when this man is still here with an assault rifle. You guys turned your backs on him and followed me. >> Taking off, man. You're the one that said you were sticking around. >> But you followed me and turned your back on him. You guys were not even 10 ft from him when you guys did that. But I'm just saying like you guys are not respecting my rights, but you respect his second amendment, but you don't respect my first and you don't respect my fifth. >> Okay. >> So, you're agreeing with me, right? >> No. >> I find that very offensive how you guys are willing to take my rights as suspicious and resistance and completely respect the Second Amendment right. >> See that phone number right there? It's on all 7,000 bus stops in America 36 through 2020. call and initiate a complaint. >> The officer tries to flip the script, claiming that not knowing the bus route makes the cameraman loitering. Meanwhile, the real issue gets buried. This all started because he dared to film. The cops deny it, of course, hiding behind the excuse of a call. But after all the grilling, all the double standards, all the shadowing, the cameraman gets the last word, asking for their names, sealing the hypocrisy on record >> of loitering. That's why I'm asking questions. >> But you realize that under under the flip, I don't have to question. >> I don't have to. >> That's what you don't understand. >> And you and again, I can flip it. You still haven't used the transit service >> because it's still running, >> right? But you still haven't used it. >> Because we're talking >> and you still don't know how because you wanted to talk to me, right? >> It doesn't matter if the next bus comes or the next bus after that comes. It doesn't matter. >> As long as this place is still running and open to the public, I have every right to be here. >> Think about this. And you don't know what bus you're getting and you don't know the time. >> You don't know that because I still haven't even answered those questions. >> Okay. So, what does that tell a normal and prudent person? >> A normal person. I'm using law. >> It tells them that they may be loitering or something else may be going on. >> Maybe you're here because y'all keep talking. Maybe you could have caught a bus. >> We missed our bus, man. Damn. >> Yeah. >> We'll catch another one later. >> See that? And that's that's fine. >> If you need the bus times, let me know. I can even look up the bus times. >> But can we can we all agree that this started because I was filming? >> No, absolutely not. This started >> or because you got a call? >> This started because we have a law enforcement purpose to be here with the call. And now we got a crew. >> What's your name and badge number? >> Sergeant. >> Sergeant. >> 310. >> Sergeant T O O R E. And your badge number? >> 310. >> 310. >> All right. Well, I'm done. >> Hours of suspicious activity boiled down to one thing. Holding a camera. The cops shifted rules, blocked shots, demanded bus routes, and respected every amendment except the ones that mattered most here. What started as a simple recording turned into a babysitting marathon of badges and ego. But this encounter isn't the last. And if you thought this was petty, ho, just wait until you see what happens next. It's a different stop, but the same playbook. A driver gets pulled out, not for speeding, but for a noise the officer swears he heard. This is what happens when corrupt cops make up their own laws on camera. And yes, it's all caught in beautiful 4K. Questions get dodged, names get mocked, and the excuses pile up until that shaky reason for the stop spirals into something much bigger. >> Hi, Officer MH Police Department. Any weapons in the vehicle? >> I don't answer questions. >> You don't answer questions? Okay. Driver's license, insurance, registration. >> Sure. What'd you pull me over for? So, what's the speeding? >> Unusual noise from the exhaust. >> Lying ass [ __ ] Well, I got everything on dash gym. So, when we go to court for that, you'll learn a few things. You can tell that your policy is stated, especially when you are dealing with somebody other than a passenger. What is your name and bad number? Good boy. Good boy. What's your name and bad number? Thank you, sir. Mr. Mr. Richard, can I have you step out for me? [Music] The officer moves straight to a pat down request, then grabs a pocketk knife like it's a smoking gun. He keeps drilling the same very specific firearm question as if repeating it will magically force compliance. The driver stays firm. I don't answer questions. That simple refusal rattles the officer enough to lecture about statutes, twisting silence into suspicion. Once again, rights are treated as problems instead of protections. >> Can I pat you down? >> No. >> Okay, let's step to the back of my truck. Okay. Or the back of your truck. You have a massive knife in your pocket. You have a massive knife in your pocket. Okay. We're going to take that while we talk. Any other weapons on you? >> I don't answer questions. >> Okay. I'm going to let you know that if you don't inform me of a firearm, if you have one, by state law, that's a crime. >> Do you have a firearm on you? Very specific question. >> I don't answer questions. >> Very specific question. >> I don't answer questions. >> That is a very specific question. Hang out with my partners. Okay. >> Things escalate fast. Officers spot an axe in the truck and suddenly act like it's a medieval standoff. When asked for a badge number, one flat out refuses because transparency only applies when convenient. Then instead of professionalism, it turns into cursing and flashlights shoved in faces. Respect goes out the window, replaced by pure hostility. This isn't about safety anymore. It's about ego, and the camera captures every second. >> We got to stop over here. Westwood and there's a weapon up here. Look axe. Just stay up here. >> Hey, watch the axe on the window. >> I'm not required to give you my badge number. If you're not part of the investigation, if you're failing to identify yourself, I don't have to provide it to you. Okay? I'll provide it to the driver. [Music] Put that in my [ __ ] face. >> No, you're being a piece of [ __ ] This is [ __ ] [ __ ] Shut the up. >> Professionalism. Forget about it. This officer launches into a profanityfilled rant, telling bystanders to shut up while waving flashlights like weapons. When it's actually time to do police work, he shifts back to routine questions, address, phone number, you know, the basics. But the whiplash is clear. One second it's intimidation and insults. The next it's fake politeness. It's not law and order. It's mood swings in uniform and the camera doesn't miss a beat. >> You're not part of this, right? So, shut the [ __ ] up just like you guys told him. >> Okay. Okay. Let me get my black light shining up. You're opening your gap. Don't try to defend him. [Music] >> Hey, Richard, is this still a valid address for you in Pine? >> Yep. >> Okay. Can I get a phone number for you? >> No. >> Okay. After dragging the driver out of the vehicle, the officer suddenly demands proof of insurance, knowing full well the driver can't access it now. It's a setup. Create the obstacle, then threaten a citation for not overcoming it. Only when the passenger steps in with a phone does the cops soften, pretending it's about helping avoid a ticket. It's not about law, it's about leverage. And the tactic is crystal clear. >> Hey, Richard, were you able to provide me a valid form of insurance for that vehicle you're operating on the roadways? >> Took me out of the car. I can't do anything for you now. >> Are you refusing to provide a valid form of insurance for this vehicle? >> I don't have the way to do that for you. >> Uh, I believe there's somebody in your passenger seat that could grab that for you. Is that okay if he grabbed that for you? >> He wants to give me my phone. >> Okay, let's do that so you can you don't get a citation for no proof of insurance on the motor vehicle operating on the public roadway. Okay. on your phone. >> You got to go with me up first. Oh, and now it's the Vine Theater. The officer squints at paperwork like he's decoding a top secret file, insisting the insurance doesn't match because one line says Ford and another says F250. Instead of admitting the system itself is sloppy, he frames it as the driver's problem. It's a classic move. When there's no crime, invent a technicality. Forget real safety concerns. This stop has turned into paperwork gymnastics at taxpayer expense. Ah, has to have been on a sidewalk. >> All right, just confirmed with your VIN there. I don't see the VIN on there. There we go. Two Frank Tom Henry Frank 26 George 7 Norah Charles Adam 40 237. This one is showing for a just a Ford. That one says F250. This one doesn't specify. Neither does the state of Arizona. Is that for for this? Is it registered wrong on your insurance? >> This is an F250. >> Yeah. State of Arizona has this just as a Ford truck. >> So, it's a Ford truck. >> Yeah. It's not going to be a valid policy for this truck. It's got to say Ford truck. >> The officer nitpicks insurance paperwork down to Ford versus F250, then suddenly shifts to rifling through belongings. Seconds later, he announces a gun was found and flips the script, arresting the driver for not declaring it, despite him never answering questions from the start. It's the classic cop trick. Drag things out with technicalities, then pounce on something bigger. What began with an exhaust excuse now ends in handcuffs. >> No, it doesn't. >> Okay. Well, what's your expiration date on that one? 25. Okay. You got the A DOT code on there. Everything else looks right besides the F250 part. So, I would get with your insurance company after this and make sure that it says Ford truck, okay? Cuz the state of Arizona MVD has it just listed as truck. Okay? and a gun. >> Where was the gun? >> All right. >> You removed the person. >> Hey, Richard. [ __ ] firearm. >> Richard, you're under arrest. Okay. Place your hands behind your back for me. >> You asked if I had a gun on me. I didn't. >> You're under arrest, okay? For failing to uh tell a police officer. As giving you the fair warning, please fit your uh cigar out. Thanks, Clint. You're under arrest. Okay. >> The cop claims he asked about weapons, says the refusal justified pulling the driver out, then arrests him for not answering, all while lecturing about how crimeridden the area is. The passenger gets blamed for lacking a license. The truck faces Tony and a routine stop morphs into full punishment theater. Just watch how tiny pretexts turn into major consequences. >> You asked me if I had a gun on. Uh, no, Mr. Richard. I've been doing this for 11 years. Every single time I walk up to a truck, I said, "Any firearms, any weapons in the vehicle, and you said, "I don't answer questions." >> So, you pulled me out of the vehicle to make sure that I didn't have anything on >> No, that's not it. That's not what the Arizona State Revised Statute says. Okay, you're under arrest. >> All right, let's go. >> Anything else on you that's going to poke me, sick me, stab me, otherwise put me or my friends in the hospital? >> No. >> Okay. Does your friend have a valid driver's license, Richard? >> Probably not. >> Okay. Okay. Well, he can't drive the truck out here, so we're going to have to tow it. Okay. >> You can't just park it. >> No. No. Cuz you're going to jail, and I This is a very crimeridden neighborhood with high crime and high gang activity. Okay. >> I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving the truck here for safekeeping. All right. >> All right. Yo. >> After slapping on the cuffs, the officers can't resist mocking. They strip off his belt, joking about whether his pants will fall down. Like humiliation is part of the procedure. The driver asks for his wife to be notified, but that basic dignity gets brushed off, too. At this point, it's not law enforcement. It's theater with cops cracking jokes while someone's freedom hangs in the balance. Richard the first. Look at that. That's neat. Hey, Darien. Have Vidal call my wife. Have Arizona auditor call my wife. Let her know. So, I took your belt off. Sir, are your pants going to fall down? >> Probably. >> Okay, I'll switch with you. [Music] The search turns absurd. Officers debate whether lint in a pocket is contraband, then shift to threatening felonies, just like manslaughter if anything else turns up. It's pure scare tactic, piling on maximum charges for minimum reasons. And after the bluff, they finally read his Miranda rights as if that erases the intimidation already on record. Cameras don't lie. And here they capture the perfect mix of theater and threats. >> Is there a lighter sitting in there or something? >> What's that? >> Is that a lighter in the pocket? >> No, I don't believe so. So, there's something deep in your pocket, but I think it might be just lint. >> That's all right. >> I think it's just lint. No other weapons, right? Not that I know of. >> I don't even normally carry knife. So, >> all right, Richard. I'd give you Let me fix your hat. I give the same brief to every single person. Okay. Anything else on you is a class 2 felony punishable in the state of Arizona just like uh manslaughter. Okay. If you have anything else on you taking it in the jail, it is the class 2 felony. I will charge you with that felony. Okay. Anything else on you? >> No. >> Okay. Have a seat for me. >> Richard, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be against you in the court of law. You have the right to the presence of an attorney to assist you prior to questioning and to be with you during questioning if you so desire. If you cannot afford an attorney, you have the rights to have an attorney reporting to you prior to questioning. Do you understand these rights? >> Yep. >> Richard's silence wasn't a crime, but the police twisted it into misconduct with a weapon. In court, prosecutors pushed for a plea deal, $1,000, and surrendering his gun. The case drags on. Proof that a camera and the right to remain silent can still land you in cuffs. And if you think this stop was bad, wait until you see what happens in the next encounter. [Music] It all starts with a cop claiming, "You can't park here." Except the man isn't even driving. He's standing on the sidewalk. This is the blueprint of what happens when corrupt cops make up their own laws on camera. And once again, we get to take it all in in beautiful 4K. Probable cause gets dodged, rights get ignored, and public space is twisted into police property right before your eyes. >> You guys can't park here. Where did you say that? >> You doing all right, my man? >> I'm I'm good. Are you doing all right? What's What's your name >> in your car? >> It's not my car. >> That's not my I'm on the sidewalk, bro. What's your name and bass number? What's your name and bass number? >> X11792. Your issue is >> What is your problem? >> My problem is you shouldn't be down. >> That sounds personal. >> Sounds personal. >> Yeah. Am I breaking the law? Uh, you shouldn't be parking here. >> Am I parking here? >> Am I driving a car? >> Okay. Can you get back? >> I'm not a driver. >> Can you >> I'm on a sidewalk. I'm a pedestrian on a sidewalk. >> Is there a reason you're >> Is there a reason you're talking to me right now? >> Yeah, there is. >> Okay. >> You just exited the vehicle. >> I plead the fifth amendment. >> I'm on a sidewalk. >> I'm being nice. Why am I Why Why >> you pulling Why are you pulling them over? What's your purpose? What's your probable cause? >> What's my I'm not going through this. >> Why you're pulling over? It's It's a You're pulling us over. What's your problem? >> I'm all right. >> The officer insists it's a no parking zone, yet there's no sign, no red curb, nothing at all. When challenged, he shifts gears, asking if the man even knows where he is. Like geography somehow proves guilt. The cameraman fires back, reminding him he's a third generation native. But facts don't matter here. What matters is control. And the cop keeps moving the goalposts to justify a stop that never made sense. All right. So, the only reason only issue we have here is this is no parking zone. >> Where where does it say that? There's not a single sign. >> You can't enforce it when there's no signs. There's no red curbs. There's nothing. It's a public street. >> Do you know where you are right now? >> In Phoenix. >> Okay, that's cool. That's cool. I'm not here. I'm not coming at you to try to be arguing. >> You know where I am. I'm third gen native, bro. I know exactly where I am. >> That's fine. I That's not pertinent to the situation right now. Okay, I'm not trying to be jerk to you. Okay, can we level on that real quick? >> The officer admits he's been shoeing people off like it's his personal property, but the cameraman isn't having it. Public spaces isn't up for grabs, no matter how loud a badge says otherwise. The exchange quickly blows up. Insults fly, tempers flare, and the mask of professionalism slips completely. What started as a bogus parking claim unravels into raw intimidation with the cop proving ego, not law, is what's being enforced. >> Can we have a an >> I don't know. I don't know what your intentions are. I'm sitting here >> minding my own business. >> I'm chewing everybody off here. This is 27. >> You can't shoe anybody off of publicing property. >> That's not how that works. >> [ __ ] It's exactly how it works. >> Why are you being so aggro? >> Cuz you're being a [ __ ] >> Why? Why? Why can't we just have an actual conversation? Why can't you just cheat, bro? >> The way it came at us. >> Yeah, I parked right here on a publicing street where there's not a single sign that says no parking. >> What are you trying to prove? >> What are you trying to prove? >> You're the one who stopped me, bro. You're the one who stopped me, homie. I didn't with you. >> You just You came at us like you're going to intimidate us like you're going to get out of here. What did you do? What did you accomplish? [ __ ] You ain't nothing. The cameraman calls it out live on stream. You ain't got no power. The cop insists he's not violating rights, yet hides behind flashing lights and flimsy authority. When asked why sex workers line the street untouched, the officer claims he's been arresting them all night. Though the empty curr tells another story, it's Bluff stacked on Bluff and the only thing they're really enforcing here is their own ego. >> You're live stream right now. You want to ride in my right? Take me right now. All right. Well, that's what I'm saying. You ain't got no power. >> You have every ability to walk away. >> So do you. >> You got no power right now. You're the one with the emergency lights right now. Like >> I I have emergency lights all up and down here >> cuz there's hookers all up and down this road. >> So >> I don't see you arrested him. >> I I have been tonight. >> How many times? You want to know how many times how many >> tonight? We we've stopped a good number of them. Yeah. Right now we're doing enforcement. No. >> The officer tries to play semantics, claiming it's not even a stop. While his lights flash, and he interrogates people on a sidewalk. He tells them they're free to go, then insists he can stay as long as he wants. The cameraman flips it back. You stopped us, not the other way around. What's left is pure ego. Authority stretched thin, exposed, and broadcasted for everyone to see. >> What are you going to stop prostitution? We already went over this. Why am I talking in circles with you? >> Because you're You're you're the one choosing to be here. You don't got to be You can go You can choose to leave, bro. >> You're dismissed. >> There's nothing for you to do here, bro. >> There isn't. That's fine. I'm not going to >> You stopped us. We didn't stop. >> I didn't I didn't stop you. My lights were on. You can get in your car and leave. >> I can stay then. Free to go. Can I stay? I'm going to I'm going to double check on exactly where we're at right now. I don't know why you guys are causing me so many issues. I don't know why you drive by us and you you make so many issues. You I' I've seen you have contacted you multiple times. >> Is that what it is? >> Is that what it is? I didn't stop a retaliatory stop. >> This is This is not a retaliatory stop. This isn't even a stop. >> This isn't a stop. >> You came out here like you had some sort of power and you just got shut down, bro. >> You're going to be golden golden uh uh YouTube video. >> That's fine, man. I like YouTube. The cameraman doesn't hold back, telling the cop straight up his power trip just got shut down. The officer tries to smooth it over, talking about good conversations he's had with other people, but the damage is done. The badge, the lights, the threats, all exposed as empty bluffs on camera. And no matter how he spins it, the message is clear. Authority only works if people still buy into it. >> Oh, you're going to love it. Your kids are going to love it. Your wife, everyone around you is going to love it. It's really funny cuz you guys can come out here and shine. You and I probably agree on a lot of things. >> We just had a great conversation with people. >> We're having a good conversation right now. >> We had an amazing conversation with the other cops from another precinct, but you guys decided to come out all aggressive and you had some sort of power, bro. And you got shut down. That's what happened. >> I'm glad you think that's what happened. >> This is what happened, bro. >> That's not what I'm going for. >> You said get in your car and get out of here. What? The power. >> I don't know if you're trying to take it off or not. Doesn't matter. You don't have the power to tell the truth. >> If that shit's in your head, you don't have the power to do it. >> Just because people do it when you say it doesn't mean you have the power. >> The cameraman drives the point home. The cop got shut down, plain and simple. The officer tries to play it off, mumbling about just doing his job, yet admits he's not even doing that right now. When called out for flipping them off, the cameraman shrugs, "I do that for fun." The badge loses its sting when laughter replaces fear. And the officer has nothing left but empty repetition. >> And I just showed you that you got shut down. >> You were You were so right if that's what you feel. I don't care. >> Exactly. >> Okay. I'm glad you feel that way. I'm glad you're admitting. >> Yeah. There's not a single sign. >> I'm not trying to book your car. I'm not trying to go right. At no point did you try to >> So you talking about when I drive around and flip you guys off. Is that Is that what you were saying? >> I don't know why you get so frustrated with man. I'm not >> I'm not frustrated with that. I do that for fun. >> Okay. Well, I'm glad you're having fun, man. >> What was your name? >> I already gave it to you. I'm not going to give it to you. This officer, out of arguments, starts looping the same lines before pivoting into small talk about cars. Suddenly, probable cause has morphed into Honda engines and VTEC debates. It's the classic cop move shift from intimidation to fake friendliness once the power play collapses. But the camera never forgets what came first. And no amount of car talk can patch over how flimsy this whole stop really was. >> You have a video. >> No, you're not trying to do this. No, I'm really not. I'm not going to repeat myself over and over again. >> Let's get that level. >> What your >> 2000? >> Partner. >> Ve. >> Your partner's running. >> What? >> No. >> No tech. >> No. >> Right. >> Well, I don't know. It's a single overhead cam. They say it's a fee, but it's not stamp. >> It's not stamp. >> Yeah. So, >> you a big car guy? >> Not really on it. No. >> I like I like big car. >> More of a bike guy though. >> With the power trip exposed, the officer shifts into buddy mode, swapping stories about bikes, dirt bikes, broken collar bones, and favorite brands. Suddenly, the guy who was barking about parking zones is trying to bond over Yamahas. He even admits he doesn't like hassling normal citizens, as if that erases the nonsense he just pulled. It's classic damage control. When authority fails, fall back on small talk to save face. >> You have bikes at all? >> I like them, but dangerous. >> Yeah, I don't. >> You ever have one? >> Yes. >> Yeah, I always got >> Well, I used to have dirt bikes. >> Nice, man. >> Uh YZ's I like Yamahas. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. I normally rode three-wheelers though. >> I love the three wheelers, man. >> Guess so. >> I had a couple CTs. Some good Hondas. >> Yeah. >> No, those break your collar bone though, man. >> I crashed your crash mine. >> Yeah. >> Broke my collar bones. Rob, >> no. I still love their bikes. I'm still riding bikes. I was in the motorcycle 10 years. Dig into that. Aren't >> you on bike squad? >> Dude, I don't like just doing I I don't like bothering normal citizens to be honest with you. I don't like just giving tickets. That makes no sense to me. >> I'm down here. This is where all the the action of the nights. Typically, a lot of prosecution locked in. >> Now, the officer pivots into a full PSA, talking about stopping violence, pimps, and gang retaliation. He paints himself as the community's savior, even bringing up schools and kids to justify his presence. But let's not forget this whole encounter started with him hassling someone over a bogus no parking claim. When the real criminals don't show up, it seems easier to invent a problem out of thin air. >> That's what I like going after typically trying to stop that violence. Stop that actual criminals. >> Nice. You don't think the actual >> it's it's going to bring a lot more crime in the area when it comes to especially pimps in the area. They like to retaliate with other friends and step on your toes while gang violence stuff like that. >> I mean you you could you could say that for sure but people in here like this community >> actual race >> Yeah. people like that that are actually living in the community and live amongst it. Man, I wouldn't want my kids out here going to school. We actually just shut down uh the Royal Palm over here a little while ago. That was rough. You know what's going on over there. That was rough. We got that shut down. I mean kids were going to school 7:00 in the morning. They're up there. They're seeing hookers left and right. You don't want to see that. That's not That's my opinion. Or the moms that are trying to drop their kids off at school. Dad, they got to see all that. That's not something. >> The officer piles it on. Protection on the ground, drugs, retaliation, kids walking past it all. It's a dramatic monologue meant to justify his presence, but the cameraman reminds him this whole thing is being filmed for educational purposes. The cop tries to smooth it over with a friendly tone, claiming no animosity. But the camera doesn't lie, and the audience already saw how this started. Intimidation first, excuses later. >> And then retaliation, there's drugs, there's condoms on the ground. That gross. No one wants to do that. >> Yeah. So, >> we got a ton of videos out here, but there's no >> Yeah, that's good stuff, man. She has a sign that says arrest. >> I I agree with her 100%. I agree with her 100%. But as you guys know, >> we're out here all the time, too, man. Look, look, no animosity. No, >> I'm not trying to be a jerk. I don't want to bother you. >> All it is, man, is for educational purposes. We're out here for the public. >> The officer insists he's fine with the video, claiming he's never complained about it once, but the footage already shows otherwise. He says he's just decreasing traffic, but what he really means is deciding who belongs and who doesn't. Suddenly, two guys in a car equals suspicion no matter what. It's profiling dressed up as community protection and the camera captures every contradiction in this story. >> Sometimes sometimes it is what it is, but you know, you got to understand that's very show. >> That's fine, man. I mean, roll your video. That's within your right. I haven't talked about your video yet. He's been shy. But it is what it is. Nobody >> this road right here. I'm trying to I'm trying to decrease traffic. All the traffic right here. Nobody act the ones that are coming through here. The ones that actually >> Well, if I was gun hall, I do. >> I mean, I actually just live right there on Camp. >> Okay. This you know the area. >> I try to decrease as much traffic in this area as much as I can that doesn't actually live here. So, what >> two guys in a car is typically what I see. You see what I'm saying? >> The cop backpaddles, claiming he didn't actually stop them and that they were free to go. But the flashing lights tell another story. The cameraman calls it out when an officer pulls up behind you like that. It's not freedom, it's intimidation. The cop insists he's just doing his job. Boy, we hear that a lot. While quietly admitting the streets will go right back to the same after he leaves. all show no substance >> in the area given where I'm at. Do you see what I'm saying? >> You learn something today though. Not you guys in a car the same, right? >> Not every that's why we're having conversations and I didn't actually stop. You were free to go. >> It doesn't appear that way when you do come up behind us with lights on run. Here we go. >> Said here we go. Let's do it. >> You try to flex the brakes and have >> I'm not I'm not trying to flex anything, man. I'm just I'm trying to do my job and trying to I mean it's clear right now which is nice and for the next 10 20 minutes out we're here. They're not going to be here but as soon as we leave you know exactly what's going to happen. >> Yeah the advantage of not being a criminal bro >> push us around. [Laughter] >> I I think we would we would uh we would agree on a lot more than you realize. Wow. >> The officer ends by calling it a consensual stop, as if flashing lights and intimidation count as voluntary. He brags about not asking for ID, but the cameraman fires back. He wouldn't have gotten it anyway. After all the lecturing, the cop warns them to be careful like he wasn't the one stirring the conflict. And the last word, no sign, no law, no case, just another bluff exposed on camera. >> We are good, right? >> We're good. Well, >> I'm not stopping you at all. You've been free to go this entire time. >> All right. >> Consensual, man. That's what I >> Allent. I haven't asked for IDs. I haven't grabbed anything, bro. >> I guess you won't get it anywhere. >> I'm not I'm not a consensual stop. So, we're not we're not that. >> All right. >> You guys be careful out here. Violence out here. I know. >> Be careful. Go. [Music] Oh [ __ ] I don't see a single sign. That's about as savage as I've ever been. What started as a bogus no parking accusation unraveled into a full power trip with flashing lights, intimidation, and endless contradictions. The officer tried everything, calling it suspicious, claiming authority over public space, then backpedaling into small talk about cars and bikes once his bluff fell apart. By the end, he called it a consensual stop. But the cameras tell the truth. No signs, no crime, just his fat ego pretending to be law. Now, you might hope these encounters are rare slip-ups, but the truth is they keep repeating it with the same pattern. Intimidation first, excuses later. Three different scenes, the same story, rights brushed aside, public space treated like private property, and authorities stretched until it snaps under the camera's eye. And believe it or not, the next video makes these look tame. Stick around because what's coming will leave you stunned.
