Auditors take on the hard job of ensuring cops are doing the right thing so it is immensely satisfying to watch them put entitled cops in their place here are four times when entitled cops got owned by educated [Music] Auditors how are we doing your contact is nonconsensual Sir um you see those lights this isn't consensual so I'm stopping you because you're filming the kid okay I understand that you have an issue with law enforcement I understand that you're trying to film me but in the process of you filming you understand that this is public let me finish real quick in the process of me fil am being deted you filming me am I being detained did you see these lights so does that mean I'm being detained you are being detained right now why I'm trying reasonable susp aring a child that is why and I was trying to explain that to you but you want to interrupt me just to ask so am I under arrest are you going to arrest me for filming a child sir in public listen I don't need to listen to your your contact is non-consensual you can't ask me a question and then not allow me to answer it like how why would you ask the question if you're not going to let me answer M why why even ask the question then does that make sense does that make sense to ask a question and then not allow anybody to answer okay so just so you understand since I didn't get to say it when I initially started talking to you I understand that you are filming you are free to film I I have no issue with that we are in public property I have no issue with that just so you know I am filming as well okay body cam for video and audio all right so the reason I'm coming over to talk with you is because you are filming a child if you are wondering how such a weird conversation came up here's what happened this auditor was filming in public when he saw officer John Horton talking to a juvenile according to Horton he had been warning the juvenile about a dog on the loose this account makes you wonder why he got so RI up about the auditor if he didn't think he had been caught doing something wrong whether he was nervous because he had been caught grooming a minor or was simply displaying a complete ignorance of the law Horton suddenly began to write a constitution of his own I understand that you like to film us and make sure that we are doing our job correctly and proficiently I understand that I have no issue with that but in the process of you filming me you're filming a child okay of all the different interactions that you've had with law enforcement that was that is the reason I came over here to speak with you okay do you understand that Mr do you understand what I just said I plead the fifth sir okay your contact is non-consensual it is it isn't consensual this is not a consensual encounter you are detained this is not a what crime am I being detained for explain that to you for filming a child for filming a child yes are you for real dude in public filming a child were you not filming me talking to that child my point exactly am I free to go sir you are not free to go am I under arrest sir supervisor on his way who is your supervisor more welcome to speak with him his name is uh Sparkman officer Sparkman so outside of the legality of this why we're waiting for my supervisor and you pleading the fit out of curiosity were you in the military just out of curiosity has nothing to do with this stop I'm just wondering because you're wearing the Hat you're wearing 25 you're not in trouble by answering I'm a veteran myself I just wanted to thank you for your service if you were that's that is the only reason I'm asking if you still feel to fad the F of that that is that's fine but if you were military I appreciate your service and thank you okay outside of this interaction all right hey good talk after the auditor requested a supervisor officer hort started to display a suspicious level of familiarity and even tried to make the interaction more amicable had he realized that all his accusations were baseless or was he just not very smart so why are we filming a child your name and badge number sir I know that you can see it but it's officer Horton badge number z46 anything else I can answer for you before I go back to my question what articulable reasonable suspicion of a crime have I committed that made you detain me sir so why why do I continue to answer that question specifically if I've already made because you haven't stated a law that says I can't film a child in public it is illegal to film a child are you ridiculous dude it is illegal to film children it is do you have that parent's consent to film that child do you have that parent's consent to film their child I didn't think so so this is my supervisor so I stepped out with him because he's filming a juvenile say what I stepped out with him because he's filming a juvenile he detained me is what he meant to say that's why the lights are on no he detained me sir him I'm investigating trying to find out why he is filming a child and you're his supervisor not and is filming a child in public illegal sir filming a child why are you filming a child I was filming your officer here but he claims that I was filming a child all right I said that I stated that what do you mean just be gone can detain me illegally sir you're not detained you can go he detained me sir am I am I being detained Mr Horton he's UND detaining you yes so I don't understand why okay so I'm free to go and I'm free to stay officer Horton you you scumbag mother you just to legally detain me do you understand what you did Sir you scumbag Blue Line Thug mother do you understand what you just did you illegally detained me for filming a child sir what the is wrong with you you're a real disect disrespectful Pig sir am I you certainly are how tell me how I am taining me for filming in public you stupid son of a no that was not what's your name and badge number sir office Sparkman Z8 469 you're free to go free to go sir I sure hope you're going to speak to this gentleman about what he just did to me we're good what do you mean we're good I'm not good I was just illegally detained is wrong with y'all man once the supervisor arrived it took less than a few minutes for the situation to be cleared up the auditor hadn't committed a crime and thus couldn't be detained it was as simple as that the look on officer Horton's face was priceless as he was put in his place both by his supervisor and a more educated auditor if you think this cop is the worst of them the next one makes him look like an angel people have just been call and just thinking it's kind of weird it's journalism protected under First Amendment so sorry about that all right hold on am I being detained yeah right now what so I'm further investigating why you're walking what crime you have to articulate a crime before you can detain me what do you call a cop that doesn't know the basic tenants of law like the fact that you need a reasonable AR articulable suspicion to detain a citizen detain supervisor you can't detain just anyone you have to articulate a crime so if law enforcement requests your identification right you are obligated to give that to law enforcement not unless you can articulate a crime so I can articulate that this walking around is not suspicious isn't a crime hello sir you live around here I'm not answering any questions okay you have a nice day then okay thank you am I free to go yeah you've been free to go this whole time she told me I've been detained I'm trying to identify you that's not my problem I don't have to further your investigation for you that's your job you can't walk to a citizen not committing a crime and demand ID that's that's not how this works you know the law I do hard to believe a citizen out here would actually have a degree and know what they're talking about huh I'm not detained I'm on the sidewalk it's where I've been the whole time before I was harassed to welcome to say that you've been proven Wrong by your own coworker here you have a great day this cop eventually had to be proven Wrong by her coworker before relenting and allowing the innocent journalist to go about his day cops who know nothing about the law aren't so rare in fact you can have seven of them in one room as you will see in the next case I Hy help you no just taking some pictures in video huh I said I'm just taking some pictures in video you taking pictures for who I'm sorry who are you taking pictures for I just myself Free Press a Spencer huh who are you taking pictures for for free press the what the Free Press the Free Press yeah uh and then someone gave you permission to do that oh yeah the owners of the building did huh the owners of the building did is this thing working yeah it does work but I'm saying who gave you permission to do that the owners of the building the owners of the building and who's who who do you think they are do you know who the owners of the building are well I do but I'm saying can you tell me who who they are yeah who is a contact person the the owners of the building who do you think I need a name oh who do you think they are well I know who they are but do you know who they are well you must we must be confused then of who it is it must be two different people this is Lana of the Jtown press a popular journalistic Channel on YouTube he had gone to the Charleston County aviation center to check out the building and satisfy his curiosity about its workings all of this was within his rights considering the fact that it is a public building the seven officers who would eventually come on scene however seemed not to know this he can I help you no no you're good what's going on this who oh 25 dispatch I'm out with her so what's the problem uh who are you sir officer Armstrong oh Armstrong what's your badge number sir you at the airport the police why are you up here what are you doing uh Free Press Free Press yes sir is this not open to the public we just trying to figure out what you're doing I I think it's pretty obvious I mean I'm not to be rude I'm gathering content for a story kind story on the airport and what's your name sir officer St and what's your badge number sir 5 oh wow all four of you huh hey how you doing we spoked a few minutes ago yeah uh what's your name sir oh stri so what yeah when you came up to you ask what agency I was part of yeah are you part of the airport Authority yeah we we what's your name sir I'm officer mon okay nice to meet you what's your badge number sir 5'9 okay Co so what what brings you to town here Free Press get Gathering content for story like I you know I mean I think it's pretty obvious I'm not trying to be real yeah I'm not trying to be a smart butt I'm just saying just you know I'm not hiding it yeah no Nei right for some reason the staff in the building felt so threatened by a man with a camera that they needed four officers to confront him yet not a single one of them knew the right thing to do so you work for like a yeah fre independent you're an independent you share with yeah I mean as as you see right here can I show you this real quick sure see this is where it happens I don't you know I'm not going into this area this is just a public just public area okay yeah that's it that's it so what out of curiosity what does something like this contribute to uh actually right now I'm doing it uh the story kind of changes cuz now I have airport employees calling you know the police department on me so now I'm doing it on you to see how you you well know Transportation facil facilities are generally security sensitive right is this against the law no no it's no you ask me a question so obviously it's a security location so Sergeant austa what's your name uh well depends on how this goes and we can talk about that ID on you is it required yes it is for what what crime of I committed when a law enforc La enfor Who Am I who can I talk to am I talking to you or am I talking to them I'm just just so we can have I mean can I talk to you are you in are you in charge by the way it is okay I'll talk to you after you're done yes sir Lieutenant iared yeah we're dealing with right now dealing that SS har All right yes sir goodbye the cops insisted that this journalist had to provide his ID despite not having committed any crime would they be able to back this up with a statute if they had to and what crime am I uh he actually dis articulated that I haven't committed a crime so what would you what crime have I committed to get my ID we're not uh we're not saying you had committed any crime yeah just trying to identify well it's a fourth amendment so I'm actually going to keep my privacy unless I've committed a crime which is a law yeah so you're here for what purpose I've already explained it to him so no we were getting to that yeah Free Press Gathering content for yeah I mean he said it was I mean I'm not doing anything illegal like I pointed out to here it's not like I'm going here yeah if you if you were doing something illegal you different story right right right okay as just kind of confuses me that little paperwork oh I've already got permission I've already got permission from who owners of the building uh no that didn't happen no no no owners of the building who do you think the owners of the building are sir tell me can I should I talk to you cuz you seem a little bit more you talk to all of yeah I mean I'm talking to you I'm talking to you I know but I'm talking to you because you're obviously in charge so but I'm not I'm not going to talk to you I'm talking to who do you think the owners of the building well who do you think it is if I say the owners of the building who owns the building I mean I already know who owns the building but who do you think it is it's a private business it's so this is a private business and you work for a private business I do so the airport Authority is a private business a laughable moment is when an officer says that a public building is a private business this department should be ashamed of its officers can you get your footage I'm actually was just going around the room here so when she actually th to call you guys so I was actually right over here when she called so yeah you you already got your footage no no no it's a public area sir yeah time place manner it's still open yeah here here you go we're we're we're going to leave now okay okay you have a good day no you're you're you're leaving you don't have a legitimate reason to be here it's called press freedom of press you got that's my legit no no no my legitimate reason is freedom of press the Supreme Court has already ruled on it you are in a private area no this is a public Lobby look right here Administrative Office am I right here am I level one or am I on level three you're on level three are you here for any administrative I'm gathering content for a story for freedom of press you already gotten it did you swear note to the Constitution did you I did okay good so did I okay good so US Constitution freedom of press is the very first one mhm sure is and you already got it I'm still working on it I haven't worked my way over here before you before can I break your conversation I you I would recommend that you turn your camera the other way because where it's facing is the Airfield and you can't record that these cops would probably work better as standup comedians considering the number of ridiculous jokes they inadvertently make and so clearly believe to be true oh but from a public space you can't trespass the eyes yeah but your camera's fa so what about downstairs when I'm fac I'm pointing at you which is a federal crime no it's not what's the what's the What's the statute sir what's the you have to ask the military what's the CFR you'd have to ask the military okay well I've been pointing it that way it's a public area you can't trust this is if I walked around the fence on a public property you recording that is still a federal offense well tell me what the what law I'm breaking I can actually look yeah yeah actually yeah I'd love it are you lieutenant and what's your name sir Lieutenant Melton what is it called Melton Melton and what's your badge number sir car S car 7 okay thank you so much is your body coming so something I need to let you know sure um these badges you can't show these publicly so if you whatever you're showing um whatever um publication you're doing just blur those out well I'll look up the law and if it's a law then I will okay yeah I follow the law so yeah absolutely are you uh are you in charge now man are you in are you are he's a okay okay what's your name sir Tommy Robinson Tommy Robinson are you a deputy or chief of police chief of police okay what's your badge number sir I don't have a badge number just simply chief of police oh cool how about that absolutely see I like to smile thank Youk you seemed very pleasant so a little bit more pleasant than your sergeant that's right that's right it's it's you know I asked him I swore note to the Constitution right I know it sounds silly I did too so all I'm sitting there saying is it's a public Lobby it's not like I'm trying to kick down the doors or something like that you know I mean if you're taking pictures of inside the secured areas but you can't trespass the eyes it's the same thing that you guys I understand that but if you take pictures of the inside that's the violation and what's what's the violation this is a federal run organiz can you give me the fa like the actual CFR I don't have it no matter I don't I mean so how do you know it's against the law because these people are private citizens working for us in a secured area want W her she seems kind of mad well I mean I would too if people were taking my pictures you're taking yeah but you're taking my pictures so if you so you were up here trespassing how am I trespassing come on let's go so if I don't believe what's going to happen sir well you we going to put you on trespass no come on so you're trespassing me yes ma'am okay so if I don't leave I'll be arrested no ma'am we're not going to arrest you we're going to ask you to leave peacefully well I know but if I but if I let me just it's a stupid question but if I stay I'll be arrested you're not going to be arrested okay then I'm going to like to no ma' we're not going to have you stay up here because this is a business area okay I'm didn't say a word to anybody sir are you going are you condu your business I am what kind of BU it's called freedom of press I'm gathering content for

you can't see my birth certificate so you can't show your credentials then these cops tried all they could even increasing the level of authority of whoever the next person was that they called still these Lawless officers couldn't Prevail over a journalist who knew the law eventually they had to let him continue with his work if you think these cops are jobless wait until you find out they aren't even the worst of the bunch oh I was you've just R Miss shot oh sorry what's your name sorry I'm PC cart right oh hello PC cart right are you okay yeah I'm okay yeah yeah what are you doing here today

um yeah well I only around cuz he said he was going to phone the police right so obviously I waited for the police right okay took your while though station's only there it okay well I've just quite long I haven't can you identify yourself please given every bit of this interaction the fact that the auditor was the one who got insulted and lied to about filming laws you would never expect what happens next okay right at the moment obviously I'll deal with what you've just reported to me okay we we'll take that into consideration but just we've had a report before any that has come through that there's been a male walking around with a Bava on not a Bava okay that's the report we've had okay because you are matching that description I'm detaining you for a stop search under section one of pace okay on the fact that that sort of equipment okay so what's your reasonable grounds my grounds are but I'm wearing a BAL clava which isn't a BAL clava okay you match the description you've got you you are covered in your face okay so we're looking at offens such a theft you know going equipped that sort of thing that sort of equipment could be used for that right so what what are you looking for then particular anything any equipment that any further equipment that could be used for in the uh course condu offense such is St go in a place okay all right so because you do realize you'll get a civil claim over this okay that's fine yeah right because I'm quite a small female and you're quite big I'm going to place your handcuffs because you're in a risk to me okay so does it have to does it have to be a male you're not stopping recording up by anybody yeah if you want the mail to search we'll arrange your mail to se we mail on the way okay so I'll wait for him to come searches that's fine yep okay so as I said the search is under section one of pace I'm looking for any equipment that could be used in the course of St or going equipped MPC 357 C and carart track from the station you're entitled to a copy of the search record if you want okay you got to three months that's fine I no you've all got The Thin Blue Line on the gang badge yeah I'm just going to put

public auditing I'll need your details anyway right right you can just call me ft ft okay I me need more than that if you want me to deal with that complaint CU I can't deal with that you don't want to make a complaint about the section five public order offense cuz you would need to give your details as a victim all right so if there's a murder and the person's dead how do they make a complaint do they give their name I don't think so that's quite a different situation and we generally identified right we're getting on with this search I've got better things to do than stand here talking around to you didn't have much better things to do you stand filming you the grounds to search expans and everything well yeah apparently looking for um what is it you're looking for in short this man was detained for filming handcuffed because a cop felt threatened in his presence and illegally searched for wearing what a cop decided was a balaclava if this isn't a blatant abuse of authority we wonder what is crowbars wow section want PC 3096 I'm police from a this police station air five police station congratulations uh so been offered a copy of the search record I have been offered a copy of the search you don't need my name for that though all right okay no that's fine just going to give you a quick search now there a glove in that pocket you just put it on the floor if you want fine on the floor is it in the way of the gloves anyway honestly I don't mind the gloves going on the floor you sure yeah yeah easy okay just so you can witness the markings on my hand y I'll go toward the uh thank you one two three four police cars one two three 4 five six police officers we all constables no detectives here is there no inspectors couldn't detect anything could they I might do later I might film all these uh registrations in here as well all right I probably just put them on the Internet what are you going to do that what what are you going to do that for cuz I like taking videos and putting them on the internet people registrations in the vehicle it's not legal is it the auditor was eventually released but not before having marks on his hand and being humiliated he was however sure to give the cops a taste of their own medicine by ridiculing them about their ignorance about the law and apparent idleness if you enjoyed this video let me know in the comment section
