many cops are known for trying to Hoodwink citizens with the law but what happens when they meet citizens who know their rights here are different times when idiot cops got what they deserved hey gentlemen how you doing tonight great what you got there man what do you mean uh what kind of Beverage is that like a Pepsi the last thing you might expect while holding a can of Pepsi is the police stopping you to ask what is in it yet this bizarre experience happened to a college student on that fateful evening thankfully he knew his rights and he started filming as soon as the officers got near hey gentlemen how you doing tonight great what you got there man what do you mean uh what kind of Beverage is that looks like a Pepsi stay your distance pleas stay your distance yeah I don't want two guys with guns coming up on me oh we're police officers maybe you I don't care whether you're police officers or the Mafia the mafia yeah you guys are rolling around cing up on me with guns back up yeah we're police officers we're here to Serve and Protect sir cuz there's a lot of students here drinking so we just want to make sure that no so yeah well our job is to make sure the community is safe and when people are stop stuff when you stop for everybody holding a can anywhere no not everybody holding a can anywhere just me no just people that we feel might be drinking in public so we're do you suspect I might be drinking in public we have no idea we don't know what the so you do not suspect that I may be drinking in public show us what kind we have what is called a reasonable susp that's what I'm asking do you suspect you said we have what's called a reasonable suspicion do you have a reasonable suspicion yeah we do what is that can I'm holding a can to investigate that's your reason that's a reasonable suspicion for drinking holding a can is reasonable suspicion so anybody holding a can is under reasonable sup well typically we like to see the can usually we can see if it's an actual soft drink or this may not typical do I look in vibed on beverages in public public officer Scott I don't know may I have your card please officer Scott's response to this question goes ahead to show his level of emotional maturity and puts into question if he should have been in that line of work at all you'd have to come get it you you want me to get close to you you want me please hand me your card I requesting it let me see if I can do this from a distance do I need to articulate is this close you want going to set it down and then you can grab it would that be better so I don't get too close officer Aila yeah may I have your card please excellent officer ail has no problem being professional with a business card anything else that you gentlemen need besides Gustaf stops for cans yeah it's [ __ ] Gustaf [ __ ] when you're going to stop me for a can on the sidewalk that's sick you were standing here we didn't stop you we just came up to talk to you oh okay later see you have a good night take care yeah in the end the cops tried to turn the law into a shield for the baseless interaction but the young man only used it in his favor and politely dismissed the cops I hear you man understand I don't one I don't appreciate the attitude two I get it you're upset nobody likes cops pulling them pulling up on them nobody likes it okay but you know you did wrong you know you're not supposed to cut through the par and instead of being like Oh yeah I messed up sorry it won't happen again you want to sit here and go back and forth this is Officer Scott Harold of the Texas City Police Department on April 19th 2023 officer Harold pulled up to a gas pump behind citizen Christopher sha and told him he was speeding through the gas station's parking lot at bues in Texas City the officer also said that due to Mr sh's speeding a white truck nearly met an accident here's how it all went down don't walk out to my car please what don't walk up to my car please hey man you can't drive to the parking lot like that got your uh driver license insurance any weapons in the car I need to worry about man is there any particular reason why you felt need to come through the parking lot like that I didn't think I did anything wrong I just came over to get gas you were speeding and you cut through parking spaces know you can't do that I didn't think I was doing anything man I'm just I mean you around to get yeah oh are we going to go back and forth or you just going to you asked me a question you want me to answer it or not I'm not if anything I thought I was going even slower than normal no normally people don't even park where you park and that's the direct path to the gas BS you almost hit that car that was turning right there I was watching man as soon as you could I was like looking and I watched it happen so I come here every day there's almost never ever ever anybody so yeah I go through there cuz it's the straight path from the entryway to here which is what you're going to see everybody else do but I mean you know I hear you man I I got it to you it looked like I was going fast to me I thought I was going even slower than normal cuz I didn't want to get too close to you you okay sit tight for one second you fill up your car go ahead and fill up your car okay so officer Harold threatens to issue a citation to Mr sha for disregarding a traffic control device and says that he would have given SCH a ticket if he hadn't already run out of them however according to Texas law officer Harold is in the wrong here since the law of following traffic control devices applies to public places and Mr schul was in a private parking space I'm not kid either man' I come here every day dude I sent pictures of my wife the process the gas here every day when I come through okay look I'm not going to write you tickets but the only reason I'm not riding you tickets is cuz I'm out of tickets right now okay otherwise you would be receiving a citation for what we did the citation I'm just curious disregarding traffic control device on private property yes okay still you still can't do that it's still illegal okay so I'm not going to write your ticket um I I hear you man understand I don't one I don't appreciate the attitude two I get get it you're upset nobody likes cops pulling them pulling up on them nobody likes it okay but you know you did wrong you know you're not supposed to cut through the parking L and instead of being like Oh yeah I messed up sorry it won't happen again you want to sit here and go back and forth with me there's a lot better things than this to be doing for you you're right I was working on a report you be over here and I mean there's people right now running you want to go to jail you want to go to jail you could go to jail for this you can do what you want to do I can't stop I don't want to take you to jail no that's that is definitely a waste of my time okay but the attitude is not necessary officer Harold says that he's going to write Mr shul a ticket because one I don't appreciate the attitude this has to be the first instance in police history where a cop is writing a ticket to the suspect because he doesn't like his attitude later on Mr schul tells officer Harold that he is going to look up the law on following traffic rules on private property but Mr Harold doesn't seem interested that's on your part sir I haven't been rude to you at all I will get in trouble you go file a complaint get me in trouble right yeah I'm not worried about that all right well I'll make sure that I'm there all the time if I see it happen again then okay we'll go from there okay okay all right I'll look that law off on PR property too I don't believe you'd have the authority to do anything here on on this parking lot like that I could also take you to jail for class be reckless driving because you did almost hit that car I didn't almost hit anybody I was nowhere near there there's cameras everywhere you can do what you want to do Harold I can't stop you if you want to be this way then that's up to you I'm trying to be reasonable you a bad day sir is there a reason why you're acting like having a bad day because because you're doing this to me I think this whole thing is ridiculous what do you specifically do you think is ridiculous then we're even talking about nothing happened and here we are talking and you're threatening to take me to jail and so I shouldn't be getting upset I don't call it a threat sir no it's a threat it's a that is a threat you're threatening me under color of law now to take something on private property which I don't believe you even have the authority to do a dictionary term sir it comes from black laws Class A misdemeanor for you to threaten or arrest me over something that you know it's not really true but that's okay what's the penal code on that sir trust me that's okay trust you okay Mr schul and officer Herold fall into an altercation and Mr schul accuses the officer of using a color of law the term color of law is often used to describe the abuse of power under the guise of State Authority and is therefore illegal instead of trying to deescalate the situation officer herel then arrests Mr schul and continues to rebuke him saying you forced my at this point and I know you're going to go to the police department and file a complaint on me I don't feel like we are I feel like this is uh this is this is a problem how a problem I feel like you're going to continue to to commit these behaviors that are unsafe and put people at risk you don't feel like something that's possible they may do in the future so we now now we're playing John Club vanam future cop and you're going you need to stop me from something I may do in the future that's now your position what is the law designed to do sir oh I I know you want comp stop I know you want voluntary compliance go put your hands onow on my left arm I'm well I mean I don't would you like two sets of handcuff no my head hurts well sir I'm concerned that you're going to continue to do this unsafe Behavior so they didn't have to go this way no it never did none of this ever needed to happen I don't believe okay I disagree with you okay I know I mean you you wanted to sit here and argue with me about what I observed with my own eyes ick vehicle yes you even know what truck I was talking about yeah okay so so what are we going to do about the car I didn't think I was going out you you certainly were sir you definitely were can we back this down dude can we cool off here please I'm sorry I will you have forced my hand at this point because if I don't go and and and see this through to its conclusion I know you're going to go to the police department and file a complaint on me now the complaint's not going to do anything because I have it all on video everything is recorded I don't talk to anyone in the public unless I have my camera on and he came through the parking lot and cut through all the spaces he came through so fast and whooped into here and there was a white truck the white truck had to slam on its brakes so I come over here I was just going to be like hey man chill out like chill out don't be like that but he wanted to go back and forth and argue with me and give me all kinds of stuff I didn't have any tickets and I didn't grab a rider this morning so I was like man like this he doesn't have to go this way he kept going back and forth back and forth so I was like all right let's you have a rider uh I got uh Paper Tickets you paper tickets that's what I rather do okay yeah okay we going to do this a different way so the other officer has a ticket book he's going to let me use we going to rece be receiving the citation okay cuz I think going to jail is a bit excessive but well I agree with you but I didn't have another option I don't have another ticket book and I don't have a ticket riter with me so we're going to do it that way okay step out for me press that scar man it hurt okay I see sign here it's not a miss Mr sh is no longer ready to go sir officer Scott harell was terminated soon after this body cam was made public the police chief also issued a statement saying we want to be clear that the actions of this individual do not represent present the hard work and dedication of the men and women who proudly wear the uniform of the Texas City Police Department public property bro why don't you know the First Amendment sidew why don't you know the first am say we're on your property still

that other officer his I need his badge number as well this is Deputy Moreno with the Kern County Sheriff Office in April 2018 a First Amendment auditor who goes by the name of San Wen Valley transparency uploaded this interaction on YouTube whereby the Auditors were trying to film in a jury service office the supervisor called the police and this is when officer Moreno gets there here taking I've asked to shut the cameras off and I'm having to answer their question they're refusing to off okay how's it going boss can you guys set us I just have a question um is this public

no you want to walk in yes but okay so you understand no we don't understand because if it's publicly accessible we're allowed to go in and film in any Corridor Lobby because why there's private information in there so if you walk in there people are getting selected for a jury trial right right yeah the officer not only ask the Auditors to not film in the public area but they also threaten them with trespassing if they continue to film it is mindboggling to see the high-handedness of public servants who are being paid with taxpayer dollars I'll tell you what you're going to do oh you're going to tell me what I'm going to do you're going if you want to call your attorney go ahead we're going to call if all you're going to do is not listen to what I'm saying okay do I have to listen to

want a b I want a badge let's go I want to go to jail because I'm looking I a BGE put me in here cuffs let's go if you're wondering how things escalated to the point where a citizen is asking to be willingly put in handcuffs well you are about to get the full story and the moral lesson is that you will only ask to be jailed when you know you have done nothing wrong you're know that suspicion isn't a crown we're we're in full uniform miss lady we're not doing WR what do you mean lady she is not in full uniform she has it on her phone what I can get anything on my phone she has her badge

going to give what you got to get C this cop claimed to have gotten a complaint concerning the construction workers and was requesting their ID however according to the law they were not required to identify themselves unless they were under Reasonable Suspicion aware of this these workers stood their ground I'm not saying you're doing any you can cancel that I didn't say you're doing anything wrong but I want you to identify yourself because you're going in and out of all these buildings that's all I asked for right grandmother and then he's not in any uniform and she has no badad where's

civil servant me your identification of where you people work I will give you my identification okay but before the law states in order for me to identify to a police officer in the state of Pennsylvania you have to have reasonable articulable suspicion that I've committed a crime have committed a crime as long as there's a as long as there is a complaint I have to get to the bottom of the compl I don't know if anything is going have appointment we came here for appointments I don't know that we're telling you you came out you came out don't have go over that for was your

point did the gun become involved how did how did he know that you were armed um I'm not sure you told that other officer that you put your hands up like this and my wife um I know it didn't come out of the H or anything like that I didn't say it came out but how was he able to know that you were armed cuz he called us he said that you were armed I mean if I lift my shirt up you could see it okay so did you want him to see that you were armed did you tell him you were armed um I don't no I don't think so okay so we spoke with that gentleman okay I spoke to him I'm trying to understand exactly what happened again can you explain to me from your perspective what happened he started screaming he start started getting closer we started ping up his fists so he's walking towards you yes okay my wife got closer to him and I tried to insert myself in between them okay um so at that point we were maybe like four or 5 ft apart okay at what point in time did you pull up your shirt somewhere in there I really am not comfortable saying anymore I'm not I'm so hazy In My Memory but I don't want to say the wrong thing um I can I can I wait till I have a blare sure absolutely we just is there anything give you the opportunity because we're going to look at those cameras and we just want to make sure that what we're going to watch matches what you're saying MH well I mean I'm telling you I I lifted my shirt up at any point during your encounter with him did you inform him that you were armed I mean I think that was informing him that I was armed by lifting up your shot okay we'll leave it there I mean we'll leave it there you already asked for word we'll leave it there yeah I was going to say either you hold them or you file but we have a weapon and it was used in a crime well we'll take the weapon what are you going to take the weapon for right now ping the outcome of this investigation so then I I would go with that then take him for the resist and then you can let him know hey we're taking your firearm um pending the outcome of this investigation but I I I feel like at this point they both deserve to go and I'll tell you why Ryan gold was then taken to the Palm Gardens County Jail where he was Kept For several hours it was only when another officer reviewed the footage and noticed that Mr Gold was innocent that he was let go without any criminal charges on May 10th

come here to ask a question and figure out what was going on because what we got told is a gun was involved in this incident so we're going to take this a little no gun no gun was involved not at all I don't know why we don't know that when we we don't know that that's that's what I'm saying I understand yes I totally understand that but you can't just tackle him but when he's told to stop he has to stop that's a lawful command by an officer we can get physical okay but you can't just come in the house without we have to control this situation do you have a search War we don't need a search yes you do div want school and learn the law I already know the law this statement from Jack pretty much summed up everything that was happening the police were trying to violate his and his father's rights and he wasn't having it many adults would have a problem standing their ground in a high press situation like this but this 15-year-old did just fine even though Michael had done nothing wrong the officers made up charges to arrest him including failure to identify interfering and disorderly conduct however the cops were about to get a dose of their medicine an internal investigation showed that officers Rodriguez Thor and wear had violated five three and one department policies respectively officers Rodriguez and Thor were issued corrective actions which they didn't complete and were thus terminated yes we told you that already I didn't see your badge okay well we told you right all have badges it's not our fault you didn't look man security guard sa their police officers we identified ourselves as Albuquerque Police we to talk stood up and search the reason to talk to you was they didn't want you in there no no more okay so we have to reason we asked you your name you didn't give us your name this is Officer Kenneth skin a police officer with the Albuquerque Police Department who has seen arresting a 53-year-old mentally disabled man on the 19th of August 2022 officer Kenneth skin approached a man trying to pay for a bicycle with cash SPL out in front of him in the self checkout aisle at Target little did the officer know this encounter was going to cost him a lot take your money go ahead and grab all your money do you want to walk go ahead and put your your coming usad grab your money you come [Music] back I [Music] got not playing man sit down anyone you're me upon seeing that the man had difficulty using the self checkout officer skines asked him to gather his money and move out of the store the man clearly rattled by this encounter is seen saying it just took me a little while the officer then threatens him with charges of criminal trespassing while the visibly shaken man calls 911 he complains about security mishandling him giving the impression that he isn't aware police officers are detaining him and not Mall security you got an idea any man not giving you any idea if you don't identify yourself under arrest okay which is it going to be you're not police yes we are no you're not your security you got your pin p yeah I do okay so what's your name man you're in business all right then you're under arrest go put your hands

paying my things I didn't know you were you were you police officers yes we told you that already I didn't see your bedge okay well we told you right we all have badges it's not our fault you didn't look man oh that that's security guard say their police officers we identified ourselves as Albuquerque Police we to talk to you stood up and search the reason to talk to you was they didn't want you

officers right there I they I didn't see their breed I didn't know there police officers well everything's on camera just so you know everything is being recorded by our on body recording devices okay

firearm in his hand can't can't do that got it good job it doesn't have to be it doesn't have to be hand on a trigger or nothing like that all right hold that for me so once we get get that it'll just be that all right but um yeah prop firearm all right it can be seen that officers in a total of eight police cars responded to the scene from multiple districts including gang units and a k9 they also requested assistance from a police helicopter once Anthony Tolbert was placed under arrest the officers begin to inquire why he was carrying an open firearm so do you mind if I put homeless is she not going to disclose it yes sir that's fine h a little haircut though correct so once again you can you you have a right to open car oh wait don't put on the I'm not hom just I just close I can't those are the only choices I have I I can't I can't put a madeup address okay and I can't just put undisclosed so it's either that or the other because of the if the firearm is register to you it probably

out my NE on that's why I'm out here that's why I'm out here comp the flow cars behind you trying to drive so like I was saying is you do have a right to open carry but you cannot walk down the street with a gun in your hand like that that's where the improper handling and the panic because even know people have a right to carry people don't call the police but people with G yeah those ched up chars they not going to stick so that's fine but understand I do armed Community patrols on the we basis in cityel if you're walking down the street with a gun your control in your hand and and people call the police and we see you like we did today you will be arrested okay listen I've been doing this for 6 years sir okay and have not been arrested by the police carrying the same two Firearms okay I have not had an issue with police trying to arrest or detain and these are trumped up charges so I'm okay I'm ready to 395 he he he under arrest though uh councilman Tolbert was then arrested but released only after one night in jail he was not indicted and all charges were eventually dropped however when the videos of him being arrested resurfaced Tolbert ended up losing his job and had to move out of his house Tolbert then sued the police department for a wrongful arrest recently the city of Cleveland has settled a federal lawsuit filed by Antoine Tolbert Tolbert and his attorney are receiving $85,000 from the city and at least a partial apology what is your name I'm not going to give that to you you're not going to give it to me no why would I give it to you haven't done anything wrong well you're recording our property you're recording our building sure and it's a security issue for us am I being detained you are okay until I can get you identified what's your reasonable how did things get to this point well the man behind the camera had been filming around this area as police officers went in and out it is unknown why he was recording but one certain thing is that he knew his rights hello what's going on not much just walking around videotaping the Police Department is not a good idea why you guys are friendly people we are but why are we doing this why wouldn't we cuz it's a security issue for us is it it is I don't think so it is it's public property it is public property but when you start recording our perimeter and our gates and what our activities are it's a it's a concern to us I've only been here for about 15 minutes right we had officers that drove by and saw you pulling out of here walking out of here and said that you were recording them as they left I did yeah and that's an issue why are we doing that I don't I have to have a reason you don't have a reason I don't have to have one okay do you have a driver's license I could see I don't what is your name I'm not going to give that to you you're not going to give it to me no why would I give it to you I haven't done anything wrong well you're recording our property you're recording our building sure and it's a security issue for us am I being detained you are okay until I can get you identified find what's your reasonable I want to make the officer must have been surprised by this turn of events as he realized that this was someone who who wouldn't go down easy what what law do you suspect me of breaking are you looking to create a problem here for us or not at all I'm being polite and cordial I'm being plant cordial too so I'm asking so we can identify you I don't need to and be on our way why would I need to identify myself cuz I'm asking you to identify yourself what's your name and badge number my name is Todd Hines my badge number is 200 okay your name and badge number recording you just like you're recording 26 okay good so okay well I mean I'd like to be on my way to go I mean you have to have refusing to identify yourself well there's no need to you're looking to create problems is what you're doing is that what I'm doing by just filming and exercising My First Amendment right that is my opinion yes okay well the good thing is the law doesn't go off your opinion but it does when you're obstructing our requests you can't you you can request right but it's not a lawful order it is a lawful order at this point if you if and as soon as my sergeant gets up sure he going to tell you the same thing okay this gentleman's got a First Amendment right he says to videotape our activities around the police department and is refusing to identify himself so that we know who we're dealing with okay you don't want to identify yourself who you I don't need to he said he doesn't suspect me of a crime or anything and I'm just asking no but no sir I don't I'm just asking okay we're good let's go okay you can imagine the officer's shock when the sergeant didn't drag the matter at all this goes to show that sometimes all you need is one rational cop but you don't always need a superior to show up as this next case shows in fact a cop may end up being the one with the charges if they're not careful so um go ahead record that's completely fine the record what's your name and badge number sir my name is Officer Smith and badge number 263 thank you um so uh like I said uh my partner's car was parked on the street and as it was parked on the street um that makes sense as it was parked on the street one of the the gentleman got out and took a picture of the inside of her car so that's why I was curious in terms of what they were doing I didn't know if he was you gentleman why would you what why would would they not to be allowed

a year after the city released body camera video of the incident which went viral on social media kah also voluntarily relinquished his police license to avoid a potential mark on his record it's reassuring to see that some rude and cocky officers do face consequences but it also raises questions about the number of such incidents that remain hidden from public view if you enjoyed this video
