say I was searching. I said I'm patting you down for weapons. >> I appreciate you turn your hands on me. Go ahead. >> I appreciate you not, man. >> You're under arrest. >> I have not told you you were under arrest. I've told you you're detained by Smith. >> Smith, >> you're the 94. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> You can't you you can't park in the turn lane, man. >> Sign up property. >> I understand there. But you can't park in a in a property. >> All right. Lick out your car. Back off. Knock off. >> Touch me, man. Stop touching me. >> Call your supervisor. Bro, >> supervisor. >> If I'm looking for a rise, why the you still making contact? >> When tyrant cops get exposed by 200 IQ citizens, it's a reminder that power doesn't make you untouchable. Some officers forget their duty and cross the line thinking their badge shields them from consequences. But time and time again, sharp, fearless citizens have caught these dirty cops in the act, turning the tables and proving that truth can outsmart corruption. These are the moments where justice fights back and wins. >> Don't turn around on me. >> Oh my god. >> Don't turn around on me. >> Holy. I have never been abused by cops. >> Never in my life have I ever been to a ground. >> The Santa Rosa County police stopped a family over something trivial. an expired registration tag. Mike, just a regular passenger in the back seat. Neither the driver nor the guilty of anything, instantly became their target. Ironically, the officers, instead of handling a routine stop, created a situation that turned a calm citizen into a threat. Under Florida law, a passenger was not even required to show ID without reasonable suspicion of a crime. The officers ignored that. How you doing? >> Yeah, I see that. >> Oh, yeah. You got my daughter out, too. >> Oh, you got a kid in there, too? >> Yeah. We going We going to search the vehicle? >> Okay. >> Yeah. Just hang Just hold right where you at, sir. Sir, just hang tight right there. Just hang out in front of my partner's car there if you don't mind. >> You go ahead and step out for you ain't got no weapons or illegal narcotics on you. >> The officer tried to search him, casually patting him down for weapons and drugs, even though there was no reason for a search. Mike politely explained that he had not committed any crime, but the officer kept insisting on checking him. And of course, we should not forget that the woman sitting in the front seat was pregnant. What happened next would push this encounter far beyond a simple traffic stop. Let me patch you down for >> I don't approve of this. I ro crimes. I'm a passenger vehicle going back. No searching. >> Turn around. I didn't say I was searching. I said I'm patting you down for weapons. >> I appreciate you hands on me. Go ahead. I appreciate you enough, man. I not right. No, >> it is right. >> No, sir. If I am Am I putting a threat to you? I >> I said I patted you down for weapons. >> Yeah. Stay right here. This don't have to be that difficult. Either one of them have gave no lip. I mean, >> I'm trying to get back to work. I understand that. You know what we smell like? You can't get in a car that smells like weed and not expected to stop. I try to be nice and run because you don't have a license. You don't want me to take your license. >> The situation escalated when the officers asked for Mike's ID a second time. He had already given it to them and legally he didn't even have to. This moment revealed their arrogance and their eagerness to spark a conflict. Instead of respecting civil rights, they treated their orders as if they were law. Ironically, they knew this was just a hollow power play, but it served their goal of creating a reason to arrest him. >> Yeah, you don't have a license. But if I It's all right. We pass it now. I'm not worried about it now. What if I can get someone here with a license? Hey, I've got to get back to work and they get a license driver. >> Can you call Jimmy? >> Thank you, Malone. My wife's walking from our house down here to come get the vehicle and drive. She's a licensed driver. >> At this point, the officers mentioned that Mike's wife was arriving and she had a valid driver's license to take the car. Instead of resolving the stop peacefully, they kept stalling and demanding his ID as if he were a dangerous criminal. Under Florida law, refusal to identify was not a crime for a passenger unless there was reasonable suspicion. Yet, the officers acted like the law didn't even exist. Little did Mike know that their next move would make things even worse. >> That'll be left up to my partner. Is there insurance on it? Did you give my partner insurance? >> I think I have it in the glove box. >> He says he thinks his insurance is in the glove box. >> Yeah. What? He refused to give you his ID? >> No, he gave it to the >> Okay. >> Okay. First and last name. >> Okay. Did you get her ID? >> Yeah, I got >> Okay, sir. I need your ID. >> For what? >> Cuz I just I got the right to identify you. You're in a vehicle. >> You sir, you do not have not committed a crime. >> All right, turn off the channel. cuz you're refusing to identify yourself. >> Good lord. >> Then came a critical moment. The officer shouted that Mike had refused to show his ID and in a split second he slammed him to the ground. His old back injury immediately worsened. Ironically, this was a textbook example of excessive force used against a peaceful citizen. Such behavior directly violated the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and the use of force. >> Already refused. Please don't turn around on me. >> Don't turn around on me. >> Oh my god. >> Don't turn around on me. >> Holy. I have never been abused by cops. >> Never in my life have I ever been to a ground. Oh my god. >> Wow. Wow. >> Holy. >> That was uncalled for, sir. >> You're right. It was. Wow. And ow my chin. Oh my god, dude. Oh my god, man. Call Jimmy now. Get me a lawyer now. Call Jimmy on my phone. >> Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. Call Jimmy. I want >> Mike was in shock and disbelief. He kept repeating that he had never been treated like this. While the officer calmly assured him that everything was fine. Ironically, the officer even admitted the takedown was uncalled for. Yet, that didn't change the fact that Mike remained in handcuffs. This was a perfect example of police culture where admitting a mistake does not free the victim, but instead allows the abuse to continue. Bring the phone home. Bring over and put Jimmy. Stay back over there. >> Call Jimmy now. >> Where's your ID? >> It's in my phone. >> The one that you threw that I was trying to get out. >> I didn't touch your phone. >> When I pulled my phone out, you grabbed my arm and slammed me to the ground. Okay. >> My phone. My ID. Get my ID out there. Dude, my >> Mike asked them to call his lawyer and his family. Yet, the officers kept downplaying the seriousness of the situation. The arrogance of the officer went beyond basic humanity as Mike's pleas for fairness were met with cold indifference. But hold on. What followed would prove this nightmare was nowhere near its end. >> He is hurting. Can I turn around and set down on the car, please? You >> stay right up there in front, >> please. Right up front. Call Jimmy now. >> He's being stupid. >> He refused to give his ID. >> Yeah. before I gave it back to >> office. >> First time I've had 10 years and I get swam. >> You need a >> At this moment, the officer started shifting the blame on to Mike. He mentioned a plain odor of marijuana as the reason to identify every passenger. Ironically, in Florida, the smell of marijuana alone is no longer enough to justify a search, especially after the legalization of medical use. This moment clearly demonstrated how officers relied on outdated and abusive language to justify illegal actions. >> You need medical attention. >> I want out of these cuffs. Am I Am I being charged? >> You're being detained right now. Am I under arrest? >> You're being detained. >> Do you need medical attention? >> I'd rather not answer any more questions. Okay. >> He's he's refusing everything. So >> 109 >> 109. >> You know, you watch YouTube videos all the time and think, man, this real [ __ ] really don't happen. >> It really does. When you when you refuse to cooperate and you trying to spin around when I'm detaining you, that's what's going to happen. >> All you have to do is be cordial and compliant like these other two >> and a form of detainment is, sir, you're detained. We are trying to have a discussion. What you did is forcefully put me under arrest. >> No, I've detained you. >> Mike tried to calmly explain the situation. He had only asked why he needed to hand over his ID a second time. The officer cut him off, telling him to shut his mouth and that everything would have been easy if he had just obeyed. This was a classic intimidation tactic. What the law said didn't matter. Only showing submission did. But the officer's next move would take this abuse to a whole new level. >> I have not said you're under arrest. >> I have not told you you were under arrest. I've told you you're detained. Smith. >> Smith. >> Unit 94. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. And it's all recorded. >> Good. I'm glad your goodbye cam is on. >> Yeah. Always. >> Because I asked you a simple question and all you had to do is respectfully answer that. >> And what question did you ask me? >> I said, "Have I committed a crime? Why do you need to see my ID?" That's all I said. I said, "No, I'm not going to give you." >> The plain odor of marijuana was smelling the vehicle. You already know this. You're just being a douchebag. That's it. Bottom line. >> That's all you're doing. These two have been nothing but compliant and cooperative. You've been running your mouth ever since my partner approached you. You're still running it. >> I have not run my mouth against >> Well, since you don't want to answer any question, then just just stand there and shut up. That's the best thing for you to do. >> Okay. >> Wow. >> The family was still standing by the roadside and the pregnant woman had to sit on the curb because she couldn't stand any longer. Even after the police searched the vehicle and found nothing, they kept everyone detained. Their so-called investigation was over, but their pride wouldn't let them release the family. After all, letting them go would feel like giving up free money, wouldn't it? May my kids call my wife, please. >> I think your wife's already been called, had she? >> Yeah. And she's walking here. >> Okay. Well, they can't leave to go get her. Even though they now have his ID and they found no evidence of any crime, even though they searched because they smelled marijuana, which is no longer probable cause in the state of Florida, they have this entire family waiting on the side of the road in the situation turned almost tragic comic when the officer kept insisting that Mike was refusing to cooperate even though they had already had all his information. The real reason for the arrest was obvious. to punish a citizen for disobedience. This was a clear example of abusing the resisting officer without violence statute, which in the US is often used as a universal excuse for arbitrary arrests and a shield for misconduct. >> Pregnant woman gets tired of standing and she has to sit on the curb with her baby. 194. [Applause] [Applause] Um, you hold this side. Mike said he would sue them. realizing the video showed their full arrogance. The officer, without a hint of shame, said they did this all the time. That moment exposed the systemic problem when repression became routine. Any citizen who dared to ask a simple question risk being brutalized and charged while the law turned into nothing more than paper decoration. Okay. All right. [Music] >> Am I under arrest? >> Yes, sir. >> For what? >> Obstruction. >> What did I obstruct? >> I asked you for your identification. >> Okay. Well, I had already refused to give me your ID. >> Can I say something, sir? >> Sure. You have been forceful since you But you have not actually took the opportunity to step back and say, >> I already gave my ID, legally ID to your officer. >> I don't know that I was on this side of the truck. >> He had already gave it to you. I'd already gave it to him and he had handed it back to me. So, I did not >> did not obstruct by not ID. I did IDE myself. >> All right. So I'm on this side of the vehicle. >> Your ID when I was you wanted it back. >> I asked you for your back. That's not what that's not what they questioned. >> We didn't have We tried to run your name through our M and I >> The officer finally gave his explanation. He said he was standing on the sunny side and couldn't see inside the car, so that's why he asked for the ID. Funny enough, it sounded like a childish excuse, didn't it? A lack of visual contact did not justify an illegal order. By law, he needed clear, reasonable suspicion, not just a personal feeling. >> Right. [Applause] >> I have a Florida driver's license and I've never been in trouble. >> That's my thing. That's why I told you I have never in the police and got swam. >> You need to learn your driving. So you do understand that if you arrest me, I will take this to court and I will sue. >> Pick a number. Let's stand in line. >> We get this all the time. >> I have done nothing. You ran my name. Nothing came up there because I don't get in trouble. >> I didn't run your name after I had to get your ID again. First, middle last. >> You ran my ID. I've never been in trouble. Nothing came up. So, you're going to arrest me because I refused to give my ID the second time when I asked why. >> Now, now you won't you won't let me explain? >> Okay. I've I've listened to you talk. Now, listen to me talk. >> All right. >> I'm standing on this side of the truck. The windows are tinted. The sun is in my eyes. I don't know what happened on the driver's side of the vehicle. The windows are up. I can't see or hear nothing. Okay. >> My partner smells odor of marijuana. We get y'all out of the vehicle, which we're well within our rights to do so. And at that point, we're well within our rights to ID everybody in the vehicle. Okay, you're over here. A partner asked me to. >> Mike desperately tried to appeal to their humanity. The officer coldly replied that he didn't care and that Mike was going to jail. By this point, it was clear the officers weren't just bad cops, they were bad people. Can you imagine how blatant their cruelty had to be for them to let this happen? >> He gets your ID. He's IDed the young lady and the driver. He asked me to get your ID. I walk I'm let me finish. I walk over to you and ask me for asked you for your ID and you said why? Well, I'm not I'm a passenger. Why? And I said I need your ID. You wasn't going to give it to me. So I said at that point I pulled my cuffs out. I attempted to let me say I attempted to cuff you. I don't have to tell. I can ask you and if you refuse then I have to do >> Yes, you do. So if I >> I ask you >> why or you're asking for my ID. By law, you have to tell me why you're asking for your ID. I just simply asked a simple question why. >> You already knew my partner had already asked for your ID. >> I already gave my ID. >> By law, I didn't have to at the time because I'd not been told anything. >> You did. I had you out of the vehicle. Okay. I approached you asking for your ID. You refused. So at that point, >> okay, well, we go to we go to court and the judge can figure it out. But today you're going to be charged with obstruction and you're going to jail. Okay? >> You really going to do that to the only thing. You see what you're looking at? You see that baby over there? You see that baby in that belly? You see that boy? There's four other kids that depend on me. You really going to pull this off today? >> Yeah, I really am. >> Okay. >> You're really a piece of work. A man is out here does nothing but work seven days a damn week. You ran my name. The officer even admitted that he hadn't checked Mike's name until the very end. His explanations were full of contradictions, showing that the arrest was planned as punishment for attitude, not for any crime. How could he still claim to uphold the law while breaking it the entire time? And this final twist made the whole encounter feel like an open invitation for future abuse. >> I've never got in trouble. >> I didn't run your name. I still don't know your name. I just asked my partner for your name cuz I still don't know it. >> He just told you. No, he didn't. >> No, there's no >> He said He said it's on your license are valid. >> He said it's on the card. >> You were just standing there listening to the conversation. >> All right. >> You It doesn't matter if your license are valid or not. That That doesn't That doesn't make you, you know, a model citizen. >> Yeah. >> You ran my name through. >> I didn't run your name at all. >> I have no charges, no nothing. My partner said he tried to run your name. Nothing come up because he didn't have your full name. >> It's on I have a valid Florida license. That's about the most [ __ ] >> which you didn't give to him. >> Never mind. >> Okay. >> Wow. >> I need you to call Jimmy ASAP. I want 34. [Applause] All right, sir. Come with me. >> Can I get my phone and take it with me? >> I'll get it for you. >> The officer finally led Mike to the patrol car while he begged to grab his phone. The complete helplessness of an ordinary citizen against the machinery of force was clear. An arrest that began with no real basis ended in a formal loss of freedom. While rights and laws served only as excuses. Now that he had illegally arrested someone, the officer had to come up with a justification and fast. >> I don't know who's made you mad today. >> Nobody. I've woke up on somebody. >> I woke up and seen the day a lot, so my day off. >> And you thought you would arrest the guy? [Music] you you Michael's husband arrested. >> Okay. I'm Deputy Smith. Basically, what happened? Uh my partner conducted a traffic stop on the the the black truck. >> Okay. >> Um we we well he approached the driver's side. I approached passenger side. He smelled odor marijuana. So at that point, we got everybody in the vehicle. Um the officer politely spoke to Mike's wife, giving his version of events where Mike was at fault for not handing over his ID right away. Though it sounded official every detail showed the story had been exaggerated to justify the use of force. They openly admitted they relied on subjective feelings and ignored the law, believing the system would always protect their choices. He IDed the driver. He IDed the young lady. >> Um, >> my son and and daughter. >> Okay. All right. And Michael is your husband? Yes. Okay. >> He asked for his ID. He refused to give it to him. Said he had done nothing wrong. Got him out of the vehicle. He ran the driver. He ran the female your daughter. >> And at that point, he asked me to get your husband's ID. I walked over to him asking for his ID. He he refused to give it to me. I said, "I need your ID. He refused again. So at that point, I took my cuffs out, grabbed his arm, attempted to detain him. He attempted to jerk away and spin on me. So I took him to the ground, and he's going to jail today for obstruction. >> Okay. I'm calling my lawyer. >> Okay. >> Hang on. I'm calling my lawyer. No, sir. >> Okay. So, I'm going to take him to jail. So, y'all have a good day. >> You're You're seriously taking my husband? >> Yep, I am. I'd like to add that >> maybe the officers felt powerful when they arrested Mike, but they didn't realize this would yet become another case when tyrant cops got exposed by 200 IQ citizens. Even though the family felt powerless in that moment, they posted the entire video on YouTube, hoping karma would catch up with the officers. But if you thought these cops were bad already, just wait. What came next showed just how far they're willing to go to drag an innocent man to jail. A citizen approached an officer parked in a no parking zone and politely asked for his name and badge number. The officer immediately showed passive aggression, claimed he didn't have to talk. By doing so, he violated a basic duty of any public servant. The obligation to identify himself and communicate with citizens. Right from the start, his lack of professionalism was on full display. But hold on, this was only the beginning of the trouble to come. Yeah. I got a quick question for you if you like. >> What do you need? >> What's What's your name to begin with? Name your badge name. >> What do you need that for? >> Gonzalez. What's your badge number? I just want to ask you a question, but I just want to know who I'm talking to before I proceed with the question. That's all. >> I'll give you my last name. I don't have to give you my badge number. >> ID number? Yes, you do. >> I'm not I don't have to talk to you at all. But I want you. >> So, you got a question for me. >> If I was the citizen, I need help. You telling me you don't got to talk to me. Ain't it your And it's your Isn't it your job to talk to citizens when they uh have a question? >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I do got a question. So >> if if I if I if I brought my car over here >> and park if I if I if I drove my car over here >> your car over here. >> Par right here. >> Okay. >> What would happen to me? >> What do you mean? >> What would happen to me if I if I parked my car right here and sat on and got on my laptop and stopped doodling around? >> The citizen asked a clear question. What would happen if he parked in the same spot and used a laptop? The officer gave no clear answer and tried to downplay the situation. Here, the double standard was obvious. The law applied only to citizens, not to the police. Traffic rules clearly state that parking in a zone blocking vehicles exits is a violation. But soon you'll see this officer clearly believe that cops could do no wrong. What happened to me? >> I'll probably stop and see if you're all right. So you wouldn't give me a ticket for parking in a no parking zone? >> Probably not. >> Why not? >> So okay, >> I wouldn't personally. I'm watching traffic right now. >> Without you can call and complain. >> You was on your laptop, >> right? >> See the last cop said the same thing that he watching traffic. But the thing is though, you par illegally saying you watching traffic. This illegal park is if a car come out here trying to get out, they can't get out cuz you cuz you blocking away. This not a parking zone. This a exit. You see what I'm saying? You par by the stop sign. If I got in my car and did that though, >> I get a ticket. ZQY89. And then the thing that really made me mad the most is I walked up to you without no disrespect. I You know what I'm saying? And I simply asked you to identify yourself and you refusing to give me your ID number. I think that's a little disrespectful. >> Are you want my ID number? It's 2226. >> 22 22 26. Okay. See, >> it's irrelevant cuz I mean it's just >> Well, I thought you needed help. I mean, >> it's No, see I I don't need help. I'm just I'm just checking you because I check another officer that was parked on the other side. >> You're allowed to park here. Okay. >> You can't you you can't park in the toner lane, man. >> property. >> I understand. >> The citizen reminded him that he was blocking a space that prevented vehicles from passing. something that would earn an ordinary person an instant ticket or even a temporary vehicle impound. The officer responded nervously claiming he was watching traffic even though he was clearly on a laptop. It was a textbook example of hypocrisy and just wait because the double standards were only going to get worse. Get out there, but you can't park in. >> All right. >> Look at your car. >> Maybe you're not. >> So you so you so so you telling me you allowed to park in the tunnel lane. >> That's what you're telling me. So if your sergeant come out here, your sergeant to say that y'all could park in the Tony lane where cars got to go out there right now. >> It don't it don't matter. >> It is. >> No, no, it don't matter, man. Tony lanes don't close. This close that closed car could be coming through here. No, >> that's illegal to park right there. And if I did that, I get a ticket. >> Probably go to jail, get my car service, get the K9 on me and all that there, man. I'm telling you. >> That's the truth. No, I'm telling you what it is. So, are you above the law? >> No, sir. I'm going to stop talking to you cuz I don't see a point in this conversation. Okay, >> now stop. >> That's the part we told you never stop. >> No, no, no. I can walk out towards you, man. Ain't no law say I can't walk towards you. You start walking. >> All right. >> You start walking. We both out in public. >> You see, I clearly got a camera in my hand. No weapons. I ain't got no guns, none of that [ __ ] on me, man. >> Stop advancing towards me. >> You can't stop walking. Just stop advancing towards me. >> What law says I can't walk up towards you? I'm just asking you as a person, as a man and I'm and I'm asking you as a law-abiding citizen, what law? >> I'm not saying >> you get me. >> When the citizen kept making his point, the officer cut off the conversation, saying he would stop talking because he didn't see the point. This was a form of passive aggression and a clear neglect of duty. The officer even went so far as to give an unlawful order, telling the citizen not to come closer, even though the law allowed filming and moving in public as long as it didn't interfere with official duties. >> Right now, you giving me unlawful orders. I can walk up towards you. Just move your truck, man. >> I'm not going to move my truck, man. See, >> you can call somebody. >> We going to see how long we going to see how long you going to sit here cuz if I see >> you want nothing. That's it. >> How am I causing a problem? Y >> So you said I'm causing a problem because only on the core of you breaking the law. So I'm causing a problem. See that's our problem. Move that [ __ ] idiot. Sitting up here parking do you know damn you can't park here. This is legal parking. You can't park here. This the goddamn turning lane. You talking about you watching traffic. You on your laptop watching no goddamn traffic. Somebody watching traffic [ __ ] on your laptop. And even if he was, this ain't this ain't a proper spot to park to watch traffic. Well, let's see what we looking at on the laptop then. Let's see what Let's see what we looking at on the laptop. Let's see who want it since he watching the See, he said he watching traffic, but that's on the laptop to me. Look like he on the laptop to me. But he watching traffic though, >> man. You're going to find something better to do. >> I can record you. >> Yeah, you can record me. >> It's my job. I order the police. >> Something better to do. I'm just saying. Like, >> listen. Hey, >> you can do that all you want. That's fine. I just I'm just >> So So if if I can, then why are you telling me why are you telling me to find something else better to do? >> I mean, you should. >> As a man, >> I'm not telling you what you have to do. >> I should, but I'm not. >> That's what you like to like. >> I'm I'm >> The citizen clearly reminded him that he had a camera, no weapons, and no reason to be feared. The officer kept giving back meaningless orders to stay back, even though no law prohibited being in a public space. His actions show pure intimidation without legal grounds. However, his behavior was about to reach its peak and the worst display of authority was still coming >> here. Just do whatever you want to do, man. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Cuz I'mma let my followers know that this is what ASO do. They break the laws and then try to shoot that. Oh, I'm allowed to do it. That's crazy. That's cuz if I bring my car over here and park right now, I get all kind of tickets right now, right? >> I get all kind of tickets, man. >> No, you trespassing on the call. >> I ain't trespassing, man. Pay property back though. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. >> I'm not trespassing. No more in the meeting. I I'm not trespassing. >> Still sign property. See this stop sign right here, man. This is this is this is the the city put out there right there. Anything passed out there back that way. Anything see see that sign right there that say administration all that [ __ ] by anything back that way that would be trespassing. And if I was trespassing, I would have to be told to leave the property by the owner of the property. Even if I was trespassing. So you can't do you can't trespass me right now. >> Oh my god. No, I'm tell you can't I wouldn't be doing this if I ain't know what I was doing, man. I promise, man. You can call your backup, but you wrong. You know you wrong. Try to do Oh, you trespassing. What? On Santa property. I ain't Last time I checked the property way back there. It >> the citizen explained where public property ended and private property began. clearly showing he understood the boundaries. Instead of checking the facts, the officer threatened to call SD, or likely campus security, in an attempt to invent a reason to remove the person filming. Now, you're about to see just how far he was willing to go to twist the situation in his favor. >> No trespassing, but there's no signs that say you can't come through the parking lot. There's no touching signs out there. Nowhere. Nowhere. The cop is way way back there in the back. Camp is way back there in the back. Way back there. Oh [ __ ] I dropped my damn scooter. >> All right, [Music] >> so right now >> I'm going to have Santa Fe PD come over here and see if you can be here or not. >> That's no problem, man. >> Okay. >> I ain't trespassing. I'mma call you. I'm on public property. >> Okay. >> I ain't trespassing. >> Well, we'll ask them if if this is their property or not and they'll tell you. >> They probably way out there. I'm not on the cabbage. >> I mean that that's what I'm telling you. You wasting their time. All this right here. See see these street lights. See all these street lights right here? All that street lights. You see where that public sidewalk at right there? >> Okay. >> They property stars behind that sidewalk, man. See you see all them street lights right there? That's all the city I could be. >> The citizen calmly explained that he was on public property. And even if it were private, the owner would first have to ask him to leave before it became a crime. This showed he understood trespass laws and property rules perfectly. But guess what? The officer had no idea about any of that and his ignorance was about to become painfully obvious. >> On that sidewalk, I can stay I can stay right there on that sidewall. All that all this >> it's public property. >> That's why I call Okay, I'm going let you know you wasting that time. It's public problem. They going to say the same thing. >> It's all right, man. And if they say that, then that's fine. >> They going to say the same thing. >> Want to make sure that you're not trespassing on the property. >> That's fair. I get what you said, but even if I was, someone that own the property would have to tell me to leave and then tell you to leave >> and then I would just I would just simply leave. But I ain't trespassing though. I'm on public property. >> I mean, if you're not, then then you're not >> sign like they can't do nothing for me standing right here calling you. Like you making a big issue when you like you in the room. Making >> a big issue, man. >> Yeah. Yeah, you is. Just move your truck. >> You're the one who came to talk to me. Well, because I I came and start you because I'm because I I realized you was doing something illegal. And if I did out there, I would get all kind of tickets. Probably get my car to get the K9 over here. I probably smell like weed to you. All that good [ __ ] man. All that good [ __ ] >> I understand you don't like basically I mean seems like you don't like the the I I have no I have no problem. See, there you go. There you go again, man. You reaching. You reaching. I I don't answer questions, man. >> Okay. So >> what you reaching though? >> You don't have to answer questions either if you don't want to talk to me. >> I actually you do. That's your job, man. You you you Yes, you have to answer questions. It don't it don't matter how much you don't like it. You have to answer questions. Is that what you paid for? That what you signed up for? To answer questions to the citizens. I promise you did. >> So what you signed up for then >> in your mind? What you signed up for when you became a cop? In your mind, what what did you think? >> Enforce the law. >> Enforce the laws. >> Yeah. Basically >> the the the one law you breaking >> at this stage. The officer tried to shift the blame onto the citizen, saying he was causing a problem. In reality, the problem was the officer himself with his illegal parking and refusal to admit fault. It was clear he only wanted to stop his own exposure, but he was dealing with a 200 IQ citizen and never stood a chance. And the showdown that followed would make this defeat even more embarrassing. >> Pardoning the median in the Tony lane. Part in the ton lane. You say you watching traffic, but I walked up and clearly see you on your laptop, but you watching traffic though. Even if you was watching traffic, that is illegal parking right there. You can't see. You can't park right there in the Tony meeting. Watch. I don't care if the camp is closed and nothing out there. You still in you still can't you can't park right there and watch traffic, man. Here we go. Here we go. >> How you doing, sir? So this guy >> this >> anything behind these these street lights is public man. >> It's public man. >> He mad cuz I stopped and I started recording him because he cuz he illegally par right now. And the thing he trying to put the trespass out but I'm not I'm not I'm not on your property. See see these see these street lights and all that there. >> This is public property right here. I'm not I'm not >> A second officer approached and the citizen immediately documented the situation, asking for their names and badge numbers. Only after repeated insistence did he get the information, showing how resistant the officers were to basic transparency. Instead of introducing themselves professionally, they tried to frame the situation as if the citizen was the problem. But their attempt to flip the script was about to backfire in the most satisfying way. >> All right. What's the bas? >> I'm sorry. >> What's your bad number? >> 275. 275. Yep. >> How you doing, man? What's the bad number? I think I I talked to you already. What's your name again? 272. What's your name? >> Right. >> Y'all got cars on y'all? >> Would you like a business card? >> I sure would. >> I'll have to dig one out for you here in a sec. >> You can go and get it. >> I ain't giving that out, man. >> Okay. Are you a sign up for college student? >> No, I'm not. But I'm not on the campus, though. >> You are on the campus. >> You are on the campus. >> This is This is public property right here, man. The light see see these see these um these wires right here? These light poles and stuff. It's public property. This is not This is This right here is not our property. That's a public sidewall right there. All All this here out here. If you don't believe it's our property, that makes it his. >> Huh? >> If you don't believe it's our property, that makes it his. >> It makes it his property. >> Yeah. So, it's one of our >> It can't be his property. This This is public property. >> Now, the officers brought up the claim that this was supposedly campus property, saying the citizen couldn't stand there. He clearly explained he was on public ground next to the street, the sidewalk, and a public light pole. Of course, the officers weren't clueless. They knew that, too. They had simply switched the tactic of inventing laws that worked in their favor. >> Well, if it's public and ours, it's maintained by us. >> So, either way, >> we're telling you, you can't be >> I can't I I could be here. >> I could be here. >> I could record y'all in your public duties. I could be here. We're not a public business. >> We're a state college. >> You're not public? >> No, sir. We're a state college. >> So, who pay y'all? >> The state of Florida. >> The state of Florida? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, I make you public. We We're the state of Florida. >> I don't ask questions, man. >> Okay. Well, then you can leave. >> That's another question. >> You can leave. >> Am I detained? >> Did I tell you you're detained? >> Oh, then well then I'm to stay there if I'm to go, man. >> Escalate the situation, man. >> So, listen. >> There's there's there there's nobody escalating anything. Y'all the ones coming over here all had I didn't come. I'm not loud. I ain't >> Can you get off the property? >> I'm not I'm not on y'all property. That's what I'm trying to tell you. >> Property all this. >> Okay, listen. I'm I'm grab my scooter. >> You can go through the street property anymore. >> I'm not on y'all property. Anything behind these wires right here? >> The citizen firmly defended his rights, even mentioning the loss of qualified immunity if the officers acted illegally. This meant they were warned about a possible civil lawsuit. Still, the officers kept trying to give unlawful orders. A classic example of pressure and an attempt to criminalize filming. Could they really have been that unafraid of the consequences? >> It's public property, bro. That's a That's a public sidewall right there. >> All this is Santa Fe. >> I'm telling you that that's Santa Fe back there. That's a I I get that you work here. That's a That's a public sidewall right there, man. I can stand I can stand on this sidewalk and walk up and down this sidewall. You can't trust that. That's a public sidewalk, man. You can't detain me from for you, man. You going listen if if if you try to detain me, you going to lose your qualified immunity. I'm telling you, man. I do this, man. I do this here. I do this here. I'm not trespassing. >> I'm not trespassing. I'm not on the property. >> Go ahead and get on the property. >> I'm not on the property. This is not the property. And I'll fight that in court. I promise I will. This is not the property. >> This is not the property, man. >> Watch out. doesn't work on. >> I'm not going to cross the road. I can see the car, man. I can see the car, but y'all trying to put a trespasser thing on me, man. I know what I'm talking about. You can put that up on the map. The citizen explained that he was filming the police, a right protected by the First Amendment in the US. While they hinted it could lead to an arrest, such threats against lawful recording were a form of censorship and a violation of constitutional rights. Police should accept public oversight, not act like a camera is the enemy. But the way they handled this moment showed their fear of accountability was only growing. >> It tell you the same thing. Even the court, the judge going to say this not to our property. IQ52. >> It's crazy y'all get this frustrated with a guy with a camera, man. It's just a camera. No weapons. Just a camera. >> Come on, man. Get off the property, man. >> I ain't on the property. >> You're going to cause a problem for yourself. Come on. Just go ahead and >> I ain't causing the property. I'm not I'm not on the property. I'm not I'm not I'm not owning the property, man. >> I'm not on the property. >> Can you get your equipment off the property also? >> I'm just gonna move this even though I know what I'm talking about, man. But this place I'm going I ain't moving no more further. I'm off your property. Even Even though I know that sidewalk is a public sidewalk cuz it goes from that end to that. It's a whole public sidewalk. I know I can stand on that sidewalk there, man. Hey, it's it's a shame that y'all tired of sitting there and infringing on people rights, man, when I know what I'm talking about. I studied this here, man. I I I ain't this ain't my first time doing this. I studied this. The argument shifted into an open dispute about public transit and a bus stop. The citizen asked a logical question. Would they arrest people waiting for the bus? The officer had no valid answer. Even worse, he didn't even understand why the citizen was asking this, but he was about to face a serious reality check that would expose just how weak his position really was. But you know me, you don't talk to me before, man. >> You don't talk to me, bro. >> I see that car, man. >> You go on the other side of the street for me. >> I can stay right here, man. >> I just want you to just get hit by a car. You feel better now? Listen, I I know what you're trying to do, bro, but it's not going to work. It's not going to work. >> I'm just a core, y'all. That's all I'm doing, man. >> I get it. >> I ain't trying to do nothing. >> I'm asking you Listen, I'm asking you nicely, man, to just get off the property. Go to the other side. >> I'm not on y'all property, >> sir. You are on the property. >> This is not your property. That's a public bus stop right there, man. >> All this is all Santa Fe. >> Not Not this. That's a public bus stop. Listen, that's a public bus stop right there. Okay. So, Okay. Listen, let me ask you a question. So, anybody that come out here and stand to that bus stop and and wait on the bus, y'all going to arrest them for trespassing at a public at a public bus stop? >> Whenever they causing an issue like how you're causing an issue? >> How am I causing the issue? >> Trespass, then you're not allowed at this bus stop. That bus stop over there. You're only allowed at that. >> Brother, brother, how how am I causing an issue? >> Dude, look, look how you're acting right now. >> I'm just recording y'all. >> You're causing an issue. The deputy had to call us over to get you off my >> He calls all over here cuz he's scary, man. Man, I ain't I ain't got nothing to do with that though, man. He caught all over. >> The police kept pressuring him, but didn't dare cross into the line of an arrest, knowing they had no legal basis. Still, the look on their faces showed how badly they wanted to. Have you ever run into officers who thought they were above the law? Let us know in the comments. Now, let's get back to the video. See how this chaos finally came to an end. >> Do me a favor, bro, and go to the other side. If If you're waiting for a bus, >> is that a lawful order? If you're wait, listen, if you're waiting for a bus, just go to the other side. >> I'm asking you, is that a lawful order? >> I'm asking you to wait. First off, don't move yet cuz I don't want the car to hit you. >> I'm asking you, is that a lawful order? >> I just >> If it Listen, if you give me a lawful order to walk over there, I'll walk over there. Is that a lawful order? >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Okay. Under what law? >> Get off the property. >> Under what? I'm not on y'all property. Go back and >> I'm not on y'all property. This is public property. I swear I'm not on y'all property, man. >> This thing going to fly in court. I'm telling you, >> I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not on y'all property, man. >> It ain't going to fly in court. I'm telling you, if y'all do that, it ain't going to fly in court. It It's not going to fly in court, man. I'm not y'all y'all going to lose your qualified immunity and everything. >> You can't You can't take me to jail for record, y'all. It's my personal right to record y'all, man. >> You can't take me to jail for record, y'all. I don't understand that though, man. Like, y'all y'all bugging trying to holler about trespassing and stuff. Y'all should watch the videos, man. Watch the videos, man. I'm telling you, they teach y'all a lot. Watch the videos. After several minutes of back and forth, the officers finally gave in and moved their vehicle. Let's be honest, this whole thing could have been resolved peacefully if they had just moved the car and admitted their mistake. Instead, they chose escalation simply because their egos couldn't handle being corrected. But believe it or not, they weren't even the worst cops we saw that day. And the next officer was so full of himself that he truly thought he could do whatever he wanted. The next tyrant cop got exposed when a 200 IQ citizen started filming near a police car. That's all it took for the officer to storm over, barking at him, to step back, and even making physical contact without any legal grounds. The citizen pushed back, calmly, reminding him he couldn't just put his hands on people. But instead of backing off, the cop doubled down, letting the classic power trip kick in and escalating the situation even more. >> Sir, what are you doing? >> Step away. >> You step away from me. >> Don't touch me. >> Yeah, I can touch you. Step away. >> Then if you can touch me, I can touch you. >> Step away. >> If you can touch me for no reason, I can touch you for no reason. >> You still can't look in the car. >> Why not? >> Cuz you can record whatever you want, but you're going to back off. >> Why is your body cam not on? >> Cuz I don't need to be on. >> Yeah, turn it on. Turn yours on too. >> No. Okay. No. >> You want to touch me? Actually, it's recording. Just no. >> Okay. Just >> audio. What's up? How can I help you? Why you coming up to me like that? Why you sitting? >> Look how close you are to me. >> Why you call Why you so close to car? >> For what? It's our car. >> New York's car. >> It's New York's car. >> Yeah. Does it say Harris on it? No. Says New York on it. >> All right, man. >> So, I could come up to I could check it out. I could check out the maintenance of it. >> Not that cool. >> Check it out. It's public property. >> Not that close. >> Is it Is it a crime? >> Not that close. >> Is it a >> The officers tried to push him away even though no law prohibited standing next to a vehicle in a public space. The citizen asked why the body camera wasn't on and the officer admitted it wasn't, which violated standard transparency protocols during citizen encounters. In most US states, this would be a breach of procedure since interactions with the public must be recorded to protect both sides. >> Crime. Am I Am I breaking the law? You just going to stay out here in the sun together? >> I'm just minding my business on a beautiful day. >> Me, too. >> I got two law enforcement officers not enforcing no law. >> All right. >> Touching me for no reason. Giving unlawful directives for no reason. Am I committing a crime? >> Y'all bored or something? But y'all came up to me. Look how close you are still. >> Mhm. >> Y came up to me just to with me. Just to harass me for what? You see a crime? You you have probable cause. What's this here for? >> What's that there for? >> So people could use their camera. Right. >> Just don't block my movement. [ __ ] only got 6,000 miles. Excuse me. >> I'm not going to keep doing it again. >> 6,000 mi. 2023. >> Back off. >> Don't touch me. Back off. >> Don't touch me, man. Stop touching me. >> You're looking for a ride. >> Call your supervisor, bro. >> No supervisor. If I'm looking for a rise, why the you still making contact with me for your ego? Back up. >> Cuz your ego. Why would you ask me that? >> Back up. I met you. >> The citizen noticed that the officers were touching and physically pushing him while giving unlawful orders to step back. He asked for a supervisor, knowing that escalating to higher authority was the proper step. Instead of responding professionally, though, the officers refused to call a superior and kept applying verbal pressure. And just wait until you hear what they said to him next. Why would you ask me that to back up? >> Why would you ask me that? That's all you're looking for. >> Why would you ask me to back up? >> Because you are too close to my vehicle. >> Is that a crime? >> I am telling you. >> Is it a crime to be close to a car? What law are you enforcing? >> I'm telling you. >> What law are you enforcing? >> What law are you enforcing? >> It's not a lawful order unless you're unless there's a law behind it. >> I'm doing my job. >> What job is that? What are you doing? >> Okay. If I need to harassing me is your job. >> Standed in front of it. >> Harassing you is your Harassing me is your job. >> I just answered your question. >> Get in the car. Look. >> Okay. I don't see you getting in the car. So, how am I instructing you >> again? How am I instructing you? >> Stand against the window >> in court. How am I instructing you >> again? You're not going to stand >> I can though. I can though. >> Where's your sergeant? >> My lieutenant's right there. >> Yeah, go get him. >> That's fine. >> Let me get your card. Both of y'all. Let me get your card. >> Give me my card. >> Yeah, you have to. It's the law. You getting in this car too. The officer stubbornly stayed by the vehicle, arguing with the citizen without any legal basis for detaining him. He asked which law he was breaking and which law they were actually enforcing. And you won't believe it, they had no answer. Clearly, they weren't prepared for real questions. But their entire story was about to collapse in the next moments. >> What are you? The [ __ ] car protector, >> huh? >> You the car protector or something? >> Yeah. >> Why don't you enforce the law? Why don't you protect the Constitution? >> Ain't nothing to do right now. >> I see. >> Ain't nothing to do right now. >> So you came out to me to [ __ ] with me cuz you bored? >> Nah, cuz you were right by our car. >> So why? It's our It's all of our cars. Nah, I don't think so. >> Where's the lieutenant at? >> Where's your supervisor at? Yeah, of course. >> Yeah, this is my lieutenant. >> How can I >> Why they Why are they harassing me for? >> Oh, they're harassing me. What happened? >> I'm recording the cars. Come up touching me immediately. >> No crime. You just touch me for no reason. Enforcing no law, but giving directives. Extremely rude, unpolite. You're >> free to record. So, record. >> Yeah. So, what is he What are they enforcing? What law are they enforcing right now? I'm not obstructing their job. If you want to get in the car, there's more than enough space. You say if you if I'm in your way, you say, "Excuse me, I'll move out the way, but you're not." >> When the supervisor arrived, the citizen explained that he had been touched without cause while the officers gave orders that had no legal basis. He pointed out he was filming and there was video evident. This showed how powerful recording could be as a tool of citizen oversight while the officers grew nervous and tried to verbally justify their overreaction to a trivial situation. >> Getting in the car. You came over here just to [ __ ] with me cuz you don't like people that record. >> One of the first things you said was, "I'm looking for a ride." >> We also asked you to step away from the car. >> Why would you ask me that? >> Why would you ask me that? >> Cuz you're not going to stand in the way of our doorway and in our window. >> You get You sit in the trunk cuz I'm looking in the back of the trunk. >> Prior to us arriving, you were standing right at the front. >> Okay. >> Passenger. >> I'm walking around the vehicle. Everything's on camera. When we first came up to you, you were originally in front of the >> If you knew that you was going to make contact with me, why didn't you turn on your body camera? Why was he touching me off body camera? >> My camera's been on the entire time. >> You didn't turn on your body camera until I told you to. >> Recorded the whole incident. >> You didn't turn on your body camera until I told you to. >> Sir, >> on camera? You like, "Oh, you want the body camera on?" Okay. If you're making contact with a with an American, you turn your body camera on. >> It was a discussion at first, right? >> No, because you try to give me you try to give me directives. And your and your partner touched me for no reason. >> Like you said, it was just a discussion. There was no crime. >> So I go to this car, they following me. >> They followed you to that car. You >> I'm not committing I'm not committing a crime. So why are you Why are you harassing me? Why you >> Come on, man. If I'm damaging the vehicle, then you arrest me. >> It's not against the law for me to stand next to a vehicle. >> It's not a crime. >> People that are have been damaging our vehicle. So I'm going to make sure you're not. That's all I'm doing. >> If I do If I do, then you arrest me. >> Are you in handcuffs? You can't stop somebody from damaging a vehicle. >> The argument continued as the citizen explained that he wasn't blocking anyone and that if he actually had caused harm, they could have arrested him on the spot. The officers admitted he hadn't violated any law, yet they still stood there as if they were protecting the vehicle. Some officers seemed determined to keep digging a hole for themselves. >> Do I look like I'm in handcuffs? >> Exactly. >> Is some You can't stop somebody from damaging the vehicle. Somebody could come up right now, throw a rock in the throw a rock in the window, and then you just arrest them. That's it. >> I'm going to give you enough space so you're not going to damage my vehicle. Any other questions? >> You never even asked me my intent. >> Okay. >> You said, "Hey, sir. I see you're recording. >> What's your intent?" I would have told you >> and I I told him my intent. I'm checking out the maintenance of the vehicle. >> See if you leave garbage. >> You got to provide security for >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm not here to damage the vehicle. I'm taking I'm clearly taking pictures and videos, but because he thinks I'm looking for a ride, he's going to [ __ ] with me. Well, like my officer said, we're having a conversation >> right now. So, >> that's fine. You can ask me questions. You can investigate. You can do all that. But once you start touching me and giving me directives that are unlawful, that's that's where I get offended. You know what I mean? It's uncallful. We can have a a a nice interaction, but you think that anybody that records the police is automatically looking for a ride. >> Just providing protection for our vehicles. That's all. >> What's more important, your vehicle or my safety? Is your safety threatening? >> Your boy came up to me with no body camera on touching me. So yeah, my safety body came around. >> Yeah, my now it is. >> But they were also recording prior to that. >> Yeah, with no no audio though. >> But but what's >> the citizen clearly emphasized they had touched him without reason and that he wasn't required to talk to them since he hadn't committed a crime. He was now educating the police on something they were supposed to already know. I mean, aren't they the ones enforcing the law? You'd think that means they understand it, right? >> Where is this going from here? You you're you're >> you made contact with me, sir. I didn't make contact with you. >> All I did was provide space between you and the vehicle. That's all I did. I am not doing anything for you. You are not in handcuffs. You are not being >> Why would you Why Why can't I stand Why can't I stand next to the vehicle? That's what there is. >> It's a preventative, right? I don't know what you're doing next to my I asked you something. You refuse to answer at first. >> You can clearly see what I'm doing. I'm taking pictures. And I told you I'm taking pictures. see somebody's hands and head directly in front of our window. Not not a clue what they're doing. Now that you're explaining yourself, you want to record, go record. But you're not going to stand directly in front of our view. >> I can I can look at the tags. I can look at the windows. I can stand here. There's a QR code on that car. >> People can stand there and scan the QR code. >> Are you >> It's not against the law to stand next to a department vehicle. >> That's it. >> That's what I'm saying. I can stand next to a car. It's not against the law. >> Okay. >> So, what what am I? And you didn't even investigate. The first thing he did was go hands on. >> You had no answers. >> He came up to me, seen I was recording and still went hands on. >> We're going to stand by our cars. I said >> I like to highlight good officers, but the way you handle that situation was not proper. >> Way to conclude this if you want to continue recording. >> No, I just want to make sure you protect the Constitution, protect my rights in public, lose the ego, have a good conversation. >> Yeah, that is because you said the first thing I the first one of the first things you said was, "Oh, he's just looking for a rise." No, I'm just recording cars. Make sure you you >> The footage showed that the officers had no real answer for why they approached or why they reacted physically. The citizen explained they could have simply observed and the whole situation could have passed peacefully. Instead, they chose conflict. And of course, they did. How else could they prove to themselves how powerful they were? >> You understand the First Amendment in public, not come up, touch me, and give unlawful directives. It's uncalled for. Thank you, Lieutenant. Good tread. Crimes stoppers. We should be going to Crimestoppers on him. Is there a reason why there's so much police presence here? Is there like visibility? >> Oh, for the peers. I thought it was the event cuz I see you all standing over there. >> Y'all stay safe. >> Keep it clean, man. >> Keep it clean. >> Work within the law. SC that QR code. >> No, I'm checking a date and see how many mileage I got. >> Tell me honestly, do you think these officers deserve to be fired? I believe they do. Because if this wasn't bad enough, imagine what these cops would do if someone actually insulted them and no camera was rolling. Some officers are simply too dangerous to hold the title of public servant. And this case is the perfect reminder of why real accountability can never come soon enough. If you think this was as bad as it gets, think again. In the next video, you'll see cops take things to an even more disturbing level. Just when you think they can't get any worse, they do. Stick around because trust me, you won't believe what will happen in our next one.
