cops are expected to follow orders and maintain discipline but what happens when they fail to meet expectations here are four times when cops got owned by their bosses that's incorrect actually in that respect oh is it so your Sergeant's wrong so your Sergeant's wrong what we were going to so your sergeant we're not going to get argument here so we're I was just threatened with arrest for not providing identification with the violation of Fourth Amendment this is Officer Frank Mella from the Toms River Police Department on January 4th 2019 an individual was filming outside the Richard C Clement law enforcement center in Tom's River New Jersey while filming the outside of the premises officer mcll inquires about the person recording what he was doing watch how the situation is about to [Applause] escalate it going how's it going good what are we doing taking pictures working on a story for the township you're working on a story for the township well about the township for for me for you yes you making a documentary um it's a news story a news story yeah you have ID I always have ID okay can you provide that no you can do whatever you want but as far as uh I just need to identify who you are no you don't yeah I do no you don't I do sir no you don't yes I do and what law is that well it came in as a suspicious person anytime we investigate as to somebody calling it about suspicious we need to at least identify who it is we spoke to you're not in trouble in any way per form okay then I don't need to give a DAT well you do what is that to know who you are what law is that I'm investigating a crime it's actually called obstruction if you fail to provide doation no it's quote that statute qu obstruction apparently you don't sir look I'm not looking I have to commit an unlawful act and prevent you from performing your unlawful duty to be in violation of obstruction currently right now so what's the unlawful act officer Mella claim that the person filming would be charged with obstruction if he did not provide his identification documents this claim can only stand as valid if the cop is responded to by the suspect in an unlawful manner such as through violence physical struggle or Force Etc upon the cop's goodfaith request to view their ID observe what is about to follow right now it's it's came in as a suspicious person okay and and what statute is is suspicious has nothing to do with it deter what's going on so all taky who you are you're telling me you're doing something that's fine but I need to verify who you are so in the event that something turns into something I at least can say all right I went out and I spoke with this person you're making this more difficult than it needs to be no you are not really you can come out and say good morning sir how you doing taking pictures enjoying your first amendment of right to take pictures in public what was the first thing that I said to you today what are you doing I said no I said how are you sir okay how are you did I not say that to you did so you just asked me what did I do and I already told you what I said I said how are you and I said what are we doing and you told me what you're doing I said that's fine and I explained to you why I need documentation from you just to verify who you are okay but you don't need to verify who I am I unfortunately do no I have the right to privacy in public you do to a certain degree yeah and this is within that degree yes yes but but again if we're investigating it for suspicious because somebody called it in it's not like we just it doesn't matter if somebody called it in yes it does okay so if you're outside on your property mowing your lawn and somebody say you're suspicious and the police come by you have to give them your idid to verify that you live there yeah no you don't it's your property well you're entitled to think whatever you want I'm entitled to follow the law which is okay and again I'm if we're investigating this because somebody called it in as a suspicious person we just need to verify who you are and identify who you are and what what statute is suspicious what law am I breaking sir I'm again I'm not I already went over this with you I don't need to go and you haven't Justified yourself yet I I do and listen again if you fail to provide your documentation you can be placed under arrest for you think so oh I know so you know so so I'm going to ask you again can you please provide your documentation otherwise you are going to be placed under arrest for obstruction I do not have identification on me well you lied to me because when I first asked you if you had identification on you you told me yes I do well I have fingerprints and rightness no that's that's incorrect I ask you do you have documentation do you have identification the opposition against identifying oneself is protected by the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution individuals are protected against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government this protection extends to requests for identification by law enforcement officers resisting to provide identification could be seen as an exercise of this fourth amendment protection particularly if the request for identification is not supported by Reasonable Suspicion of criminal activity watch how this encounter ends and what happens afterward okay so who are you then because we're going to have to verify who you are and here's the other problem now you lied to me so now I have a concern as to whether you're being truthful and honest with me do you understand well you're not being truthful and honest with me because haven't quoted a law yet to show you I already explained to you what I need to do if you fail to there's actually a supervisor right there okay and I don't need to have a supervisor anyway because I asked you for who you are who you are and I told did not Li about who I am explain to you what happens if you fail to provide documentation now if I find out you're lying to me now you could be charged with hindering giving failed documentation well no you have two right what's going on so what is your name and what is your information not answering any questions personal information okay well then you're going to be placed under arrest for obstruction that Sergeant he doesn't need to explain it to you he does actually he actually does Frank just hold on a second so let's find out can I just ask you what you're doing here yes sir I'm in public taking pictures of a public building expressing my First Amendment right to freedom of press I'm here to actually file a complaint okay you have that right you have all those rights you just you just well he appears to tell me that I don't now just just so you know there are areas of this building that are posted absolutely yep the back of that parking lot there it says restricted area can't go back there or video those areas abolutely other than that if you want to walk around with your camera you can walk around with your camera and I don't need to show ID to do that you don't have to show ID right now no sir all right sir how's that that's incorrect actually in that respect oh is it is it so your Sergeant's wrong your Sergeant's wrong what we were going to we're not going to get argument here so we're all right I was just threatened with arrest for not providing identification with the violation of Fourth Amendment all right sir but now we're clear on what's going on right is he are we all clear is he clear cuz I'm clear and you're clear every everybody here is clear sir very good sir thank you continue what you're doing I appreciate your help you have a good D you too all right thank you very much thank you all right have a nice day officer you too sir hope you learn something today you guys are good right you're good by the way officer name and badge number please I don't not right now sir uh excuse me is it in your policy to identify yourself you you engage me Sergeant it's policy to identify himself to me that's that's officer Michelle badge number 369 apprciate those officers badge numbers and names they didn't contact that's fine all right thank you I appreciate it walk of shame Walk of Shame officer Mella received schooling from Sergeant Ruiz following this incident after the individual who was filming was asked to leave this specific interaction prompted the Toms River Police Department to Launch an internal investigation however the outcomes of this investigation remain undisclosed if you think officer mosella was the only low Authority cop who got owned by their boss wait until you watch this next case I was doing 55 and what happened you come flying up no when I passed you I was going 48 M hour but if your car here that's not a police car had the radar in it you would know how fast I was going yes sir and I'm able to do speed estimations this is officer Harold Mashburn from North Carol Ina police on August 4th 2021 an individual named William Barnwell was driving behind officer mashburn's car where officer Mashburn was allegedly driving slower than the speed limit Mr Barnwell then overtook his car on a road in Cherokee County North Carolina as he observed Mr Barnwell overtaking him he decided to pull him over sir I don't you can film me all day long if you're a police officer you should have a body camera don't cuzz you're not a police officer it says right s you're a probation officer I'm not on probation I've never been in trouble for anything in the stama tell tell my camera again how you're a police officer will you ask her my question I've I've answered yours now let me ask you a question in the state of Alabama what are your probation officers considered to be officer Mashburn is a probation and parole officer for those who don't know a probation and parole officer in North Carolina is a law enforcement professional responsible for supervising individuals who have been placed on probation or parole by the court system their duties typically include monitoring the behavior and compliance of individuals under their supervision conducting home visits drug testing and providing resources and support to help individuals successfully reintegrate into society while adhering to the conditions of their probation or parole watch how the encounter unravels I have no idea we're not in Alabama okay do you live in Alabama cuz you taged said you're I guess when a police officer gets here we'll determine a whole bunch of stuff or you well how often do you pull someone over how often I pull people over how often do you drive in the left lane for 5 miles going 48 M an hour I wasn't doing 48 mil hour sir uh so how fast were you going I was doing 55 and what happened you come flying up no when I passed you I was going 48 M hour but if your car here that's not a police car had the

okay then you just said ti so you're refusing to identify you're refusing to identify yourself tight you're refusing to identify yourself even though you pulled me over TI officer Mashburn appeared to lack the authority to detain Mr Barnwell nonetheless the delay in the stop was due to officer Mashburn awaiting the arrival of another police officer at the scene no this guy knows he's messed up but

wouldn't be out here officer Thompson asks the mayor to step aside while he can continue filming the traffic stop keep his rights to film the law enforcement officer that has been granted to the citizens under the First Amendment a disgrace you know you're you know you think up in this area we'd have some decent cops you're as bad as a [ __ ] dinks down in Minneapolis all right whatever you say oh shut the [ __ ] up once the mayor returns to the scene despite officer Thompson's orders officer Thompson arrests and handcuffs him allegedly for distracting and hindering their traffic stop and investigation off officer Thompson says that he would be charging Mr Hyman with obstruction and disorderly conduct so when the other guy approached the car he let her out of the car and walk to the car he sat here waited at the door and literally grabbed me by my hands and patted me down and let them all walk away and asked if there's a reason he did that he said that's just what I do but let them all just go I just want to let someone else know that's why I felt I was sitting there with my hands out I felt really uncomfortable and that's why I just I wanted to say something to someone so I don't know his partner whatever the deal is but tell all right apprciate it sounds good yep no problem 4061 can another car this is going to be fun guys yep have to explain why you're ring the mayor talk to just cuz you're the mayor you doesn't give you the right to disobey a direct law enforcement order you're impeding my investigation now you can go to I don't want to see that though he's had about five warnings I've had no warning Move Along yes you have we've told you many times you've never told me we both told you properly Gap These Cuffs cuffs for the trip to the jail that's fine

let let's just go do a let's just go do a blood test okay well I mean I'm not going to go straight down to do a blood test if I don't have any tests or any reason to so well that's the most accurate so let's do that guess for the record I want to prove that there's no alcohol in my system okay okay so well if you know there's no alcohol in your system then well let's go then it's all part of the record Mr Hyman was initially charged with obstruction and disorderly conduct the obstruction charge was later dismissed but he was found guilty of disorderly conduct by the court and and ordered to pay a1285 fine Hyman has appealed his conviction but the status of the proceedings is unknown in a statement issued afterward he expressed concern about officers searching the personal belongings of the suspects involved in the traffic stop stating that it left a negative impression on passing tourists it's strange to see cops being owned by their bosses when they fail to comply with the law if
