because of capturing the audio better in light of the First Amendment of the US Constitution the actions of Mr Oshi Jackson filming the traffic stop align with the protections guaranteed by the First

O'Shea Jackson was arrested and charged with obstruction Mr Jackson lost this case against him however he claims that the court had not found him guilty of his actions it is not certain if Mr O'Shea Jackson filed a complaint against the officers involved in the traffic stop if you think this was the last cop where the cops got owned by soldiers then probably you aren't aware of this next case I'm a retired military police as well as civilian law enforcement okay my question is why is this police vehicle parked in the no parking slew where handicapped vehicles have to park and have that access to be able to get out unload wheelchairs things of that nature so we park a vehicle here for presents or for for uh because we have folks that work in these other buildings and they like to see a police car up front so we park it right up here in the front we move it far enough to the side uh so that somebody can access that if they need to this is Theodore ruding an army veteran on a tranquil morning of August 8th 2023 at approximately 7:10 a.m. Mr ruding found himself confronting an unlawful situation standing in front of the Hidden River VA clinic in Florida he came across a vehicle callously parked in clear violation of designated handicapped parking spaces officer Johnson from the Tampa Veterans Affairs Police Department listens to this objection observe what is his reply and how he responds to the situation you like to a complain sir some my supervisor right here and you want to speak with me sir good morning gentlemen good morning how's it going um doing all right professional man real professional man had a great conversation okay full stop all right I'm a retired military police as well as civilian law enforcement okay my question is why is this police vehicle parked in the no parking slew where handicapped vehicles have to park and have that access to be able to get out unload wheelchairs things of that nature so we park a vehicle here for presence or for for uh because we have folks that work in these other buildings and they like to see a police car up front so we park it right up here in the front we move it far enough to the side uh so that somebody can access that if they need to that's what you're calling access this so pretty much just that that strip like 2 feet is all that's really necessary for a handicapp person is what you're telling me well I mean I don't I don't have a ruler with me but I would say that's probably about 6 ft you would say this strip is 6 ft oh you're talking about just that right yeah the lines that painted because I'm aware that that's not a valid defense for illegal parking just as you are while you're trying to make excuses saying that people who want you to be seen exempt you from following the law you're setting a piss poor example for everybody who observes that a police officer is parking illegally you're setting a bad example for your subordinate supervisor as well as the other law enforcement officers okay are you going to affix this are you going to address this or are you going to continue let this park we will address this and if we can get this marked for a police spot we'll get it marked for a police spot and we'll have it addressed if you can't get it marked you're going to continue to park illegally we will find if we will find a place to park uh legally oh yeah absolutely absolutely today or you just going to continue to let that sit there illegally we will we will be out in about here shortly so but but you're going to continue to park there illegally it's park there right now illegally and we will be moving it shortly you're going to continue to let it Park illegally we will be moving it shortly sir so you're just going to oh I understand you're going to continue violating the law that's what I'm hearing no what I'm telling you is that is currently violating the law and you're not moving it you're telling me you're going to move it at some point in the future which means you're continuing to violate the law okay all righty all right well I'm done with you you're dismissed yeah we are done have a great day you too do you have an appointment today or anything goodbye okay we we can stand out here this is a nonconsensual I'm not talking to you anymore goodbye all right yeah we understand what you're saying yeah we understand there's also Reasons I'm sure I forgot your first name again it's because I didn't tell you okay I mean you mind telling me I do okay well have a good day [Music] goodbye officer Johnson defends his case explaining that they had parked the police police cruiser just so everyone on the premises could see it officer Johnson commits to continue violating the rights of individuals by bluntly occupying the handicapped parking spot officer Johnson and an accompanying officer returned to the premises after the interaction with Mr Theodore ruding it's an unusual sight to witness when police go against military officials if you enjoyed this video drop a like And subscribe for more goodbye
