case well number one you're on the street corner okay it was wrong and your message is going to fig okay it might but it also might fall on some good ground and and bring forth fruit nobody here paying any attention here so okay I think I'm making a big uh uh demonstration did you see that TI never you don't have my permission to film me so don't film me anymore I can film you all I want this is Officer James Elliot from the Calvary Chapel on April 18th 2021 an individual named Titus hardford stood on a public sidewalk in front of the Calvary Chapel in Chattanooga Tennessee holding a sign related to his faith Christianity after a parking lot attendant spotted him standing there Mr Hartford greeted him and told him the reason for him being there watch how the encounter unravels good morning morning how are you doing well what is the purpose of that I'm trying to I'm trying to lead people to Jesus by correcting some of the opposition to his teachings I can't really get kicked off of public property so I reckon I'll just stay here in the safe Zone well I'm in the middle of I mean this is not the time to do it this oh but later when is the time um tonight this evening now is the only time convenient for me well then I guess the truth hey buddy hey hey what's going on how are you good hey man how are you today I'm doing well what's your name I'm Garren I'm Cho I'm choosing not to uh reveal that at this time that's okay I was just want to introduce myself what can I help you with today man um just help me get my message out you know it's great that you have your theological and doctrinal belief but do you really think this is the best place to try to get that message out why because this is a church that's popular which teaches the word of God where he changes people's lives so why would you maybe there's people who want to go forward in their relationship with Jesus yeah man you know I know you're smart enough to where I see that you're standing on private um on public property it's a sidewalk but man can we not just agree today maybe not to have this happen well I have our congregation I'm a Shepherd right so um a hireling uh no I'm a called by God brother um so um we don't doings here re the reason you don't teach the teachings of Jesus is because you flee when you see all the Wolves coming in here I don't flee from anything brother I'm standing here in front of a person I feel might be a wolf so I'm going to ask you very kindly very kindly just for the consideration of God Almighty and and the congregation that comes here Church could we just put this thing away today and then go and maybe have I'm invoking my uh constitutional right Mr Delaney asks Mr Hartford to remove the sign and leave the area however he fails to comply and insists that it is his constitutional right for those who don't know the First Amendment of the US Constitution grants citizens the rights of freedom of speech and freedom of the press watch what is about to happen yeah I know but there's also a thing to where there's a legal thing that says that you become legally if you become a public nuisance and we feel that it is I can call chatt call the police there is and then say that if I'm breaking a law arrest me uh you're making a scene right now aren't you Sergeant am I correct in my my my understanding sir of the law if he and I are having a problem with people and we're causing a a ight in the scene in front of people is that you mind if I talk to him uh yeah you're welcome to talk to them but you ain't going to get nowhere no I mean I'm ready to have a Bible study well then come on inside and talk to me just get your Bible just go open that up well I I uh I don't want to play into your hand because I know what happens when I go in there then I become uh subject to yes you have haven't you I know exactly who you are bro you don't think i' remember who you are why can't we just go inside and have a civil conversation you and I we were not out here making a for uh well when I get done doing what I'm doing I'll call you or email you just leave me your contact information and we'll go from there no this is not working well for me okay well I'm sorry you should have uh put your house on more solid ground listen man can you give me f you just not know that place I'm asking you as a man to man that's what I'm asking you for there's no reason no no preach from the rooftops well number one you're on the street corner okay it wrong and your message is going to fall okay it might but it also might fall on some good ground and and bring forth fruit nobody here is paying any attention to your son okay I think I'm making a big uh uh demonstration did you see that TI never you don't have my permission to film me so don't film me anymore I can film you all I want I said no sir okay hey don't touch my stuff get off my property I'm not on your property get off my property I'm not on your property L man leave Hey sir can you call a district car I think we have a public U problem here right now with me and him thank you sir thank you sir you should get a better job man just okay you shouldn't touch people belongings that don't belong to you this man hey man L leave me your contact information we'll study the Bible contact information we've had this conversation before bro okay well contact me we'll study the Bible hey how you doing name and badge number please you got an ID on you name and badge number Elliot 1099 what's your bet what's your where's your ID bro uh that's irrelevant have I committed a crime yeah you're trespassing you're refusing to leave man uh I'm on public property this is a sidewalk property let me see your ID this is a sidewalk let me see your ID I need your ID you're going to go to jail um this is a sidewalk I don't know what you're talking about dude I need your ID okay okay maybe that give me your ID or you going to go to jail um I'm not going to give you my ID I have no reason to put your on behind your back I'm on the sidewalks so I don't see why I'm being arrested well you're refusing to the ID you have to identify yourself this is not a stoping ID State what's WR officer Elliott accuses Mr Hartford of trespassing on Church's property and places him under arrest for this offense he refused to comply with the officer's command of demanding his ID for those who don't know the fifth amendment protects the rights of citizens to deny identification to law enforcement when they believe that they can be unreasonable incriminated Mr hardford was taken to jail which caused him to miss two days of work his camera and the sign he demonstrated were both confiscated by the officer he was charged with criminal trespass however later the charge was dismissed almost after a year however Mr Hartford filed a lawsuit against the officers involved the proceedings of the lawsuit are unknown if you think this was the last cop who realized they arrested innocent people then you probably haven't heard of this next case I done anything wrong well you're recording it's suspicious activity which puts this into a category of suspicious activity which means versus Ohio I can detain you until I can determine or deny that there oh say is not enough for reason reasonable calls for ID I would there there's already a call on it so so suici activ is that is that failing or misdemeanor that's a misdemeanor these are officers from the Greer Police Department on June 15th 2016 a First Amendment auditor named Mr Valentine was filming in a public parking lot for the muncipal court and the police Department buildings in Greer South Carolina watch what happens when officer shata approaches him hey how are you today how are you today what's your name and badge number I'm Corporal Shad at the police department how are you all I'm all right okay is there any reason why you're videotaping just curious you're not in any kind of trouble there's nothing here other than we got called and told that you were walking around the parking lot so any particular reason for it now you're not going to answer so we just going to have a stare off cuz I'm recording you and you're recording me is that what we're going to do do you have your ID on probably don't anything wrong well you're recording suspicious activity which puts this into a category of suspicious activity which means Terry versus Ohio I can detain you until I can determine or deny that there Terry Ohio say is not enough for reason reasonable calls for ID I would there there's already a call on it so yes so suspicious activ is that is that a failing or misdemeanor that's a misdemeanor no it's not yes it is I can't believe you sat here and live yeah go ahead and give me your ID uh can you call your supervisor to the scene I am a supervisor I need another one okay I need a lieutenant or somebody else officer shata demands ID from Mr Valentine however he does not provide him with it officer shirata in response then requests his supervisor to arrive at the scene to handle the matter watch what happens when his supervisor arrives okay actually actually I'll go and do this type of thing okay yeah so I'm just curious any criminal activity there's nothing to worry about so why you asking for my ID then because you're not answering me and when you're not answering me how do I know you're not this parking lot to come shoot it up it's called the Fifth Amendment right so I can check on that if it's suspicious and the part of that checking is to identify you so if I can get it's suspicious a felony or misdemeanor Hey sir again name badge number Sergeant forer 301 all right how you doing good how can I help you well he contacted me went my ID for no reason so I need a supervisor let him know that you know without any kran being committed I don't have to present my ID well he actually got a call on you well that what what crime have I committed well some anytime somebody calls in and reports suspicious activity it's suspicious it's suspicious of failure or misdemeanor uh it's neither one but he asked NE okay thank you so he said it was a misdemeanor Sergeant Forester claims that they received a call against Mr Valentine as him being suspicious justifying officer shira's approach the supervisor also claimed that officer shata could have detained Mr Valentine based on the call watch how Mr Valentine does in this situation so now we have a conflict on which one it is we don't have a conflict at all we have a conflict with taping taping parking lot in the day St and age that's fine who that's fine you ain't got to wo nothing who what's your name and badge number uh my badge number is 201 it's Lieutenant hok who h o l c o m b e now who you ID this is intimidation Factor right here have an ID please what crime have I what crime have I committed an ID what crime have I committed you're going to you're going to be failure to uh listen to a law enforcement officer ask you for an ID what crime have I committed an ID what CRI an ID what crime have I committed an ID what crime have I committed videotaping our parking lot and walking around the police is a crime yes sir right now in the day and age that we're dealing with yes sir it is a crime what crime have I committed today anytime there's a suspicious person is there a felony or misdemeanor it's a let me see your you got you got the cter or you're going to jail now you got to see I got one hand on the camera why who two don't show me you're under arrest who you're now under arrest s you got there s you got out there oh I like my not speak to anybody I Can the police guess what that's not a right that's that's a right to stay in jail that's a right to stay in jail because if we don't have an ID and name and everything then you stay in jail until we figure out who you are so you can tell us who you are or you can stay in jail huh interfering with the police what interfering Poli interfer yes you were you guys came and approach me yes sir and I asked you for an Ida and what crime has I committed interfering with the police crime interfering with the police cry

it I I do this all that's fine South Carol North Car well guess what you're going to see the inside of the South Carolina jail right there you go like I heard you say something Mr Valentine after continuously refusing to ID himself prompted the super supervisor to place him under arrest he was placed in the cop Cruiser and was taken to jail he was charged with interfering with police however after a couple of hours he was released it's horrifying to see innocent people being arrested for doing nothing wrong if you enjoyed the video be sure to drop a like And subscribe for more goodbye
