briefed the sergeant framing sap as disruptive for not identifying himself or leaving though his actions were protected speech not obstruction per heel visu 6th Judicial District Court 2004 which holds that ID refusal isn't a crime absent reasonable susp I the sergeant ordered Sap's transport to jail dismissing his pleas for dialogue another deputy read saps Miranda writes pinning the charge on obstruction which sap contested as requiring physical interference not words in the patrol car sap expressed disbelief at his arrest for observing and questioning while muted body cams and aligned Deputy accounts hinted at a coverup the supervisor's refusal to intervene cemented the depuy's overreach pushing the incident toward legal Reckoning I ask for his name because his argu can he came

yeah throw a bunch of people at the okobe County Detention Facility the transporting Deputy reiterated saps Miranda rights under Miranda vers Arizona 1966 stating he could stop answering at any time during questioning yet pressed for his name sap identified as a good citizen who broke no law arguing the supervisor's presence should have resolved the issue per Department policy the deputy conceded sap didn't have to provide his name but upheld the arrest tied to a stop Behavior sap clarified he only sought factual accuracy from deputies not conflict challenging their narrative the supervisor now aware of Sap's identity as a Super Bowl hero rushed to speak with him a shift triggered by his Fame rather than Duty sap was booked for obstruction without violence a misdemeanor with Bond set at $750 which he paid to secure Release Body cams exposed inconsistencies as sap stood firm his detention and clear violation of Rights hell hey you bring over here s yes sir yes sir this be recording I just make show my name is Char I'm the road Patrol supervisor you want to speak to the supervisor I was wondering you was outside the gas station when they drove away right yes how come we didn't have a conversation yet because you were already in the back of a patrol car and we needed to get you out of there as quick as possible and that's what we came up with that's what happened okay whenever there is a situation like that we Tred to clear this clear the area as quick as possible because because there's a large group of people there and it's it could turn dangerous they was peaceful we were peacefully assembled at that point well your officer had been there for 15 minutes right in the ticket well the officer was screaming for backup too so we went I I got that thought so now when I my situation you asked to speak to the super so here ask you like to know what was that what what am I here for you're being you're being arrested for obstruction that's a physical act right no it's it's impeding investigation it could be physical it could be refusing to leave it could be it contined to interject yourself into an investigation that's being done on a separate situation wasn't an investigation it was a ticket being written right there was a traffic investigation so after you hand the person the ticket the traffic stopped is effectively over well the deputy was still talking no I was asking after you hand the ticket to the man the effective is effectively over the stop is over it depends I'm asking if the ticket is being explained to the individual who has t the physical ticket in his hands the no it's not so the explaining would be coming over the top of the hill at 45 and he drops to 35 whatever else tickets in his hand he's fing it up stop it over whatever the whatever the explanation is why he's folding it up Mr St I'm not going to argue with you definely not going to argue with you you have your day in court I understand that so oh no cuz I just had my rights violated your officer said to me do you want to go to jail first thing he said out of his mouth to me I said excuse me what's your name so I laughed because I do have a right to remain silent right I have the right four fourth and fifth minute right yes you absolutely have a right to remain silent but you but you don't have the right to interject yourself into an investigation interject myself yeah were you in in in the vehicle that had been stopped no sir no okay so what purpose were you in that traffic stop I wasn't in the traffic stop the traffic stop was over the traffic stop was still being conducted TR stop was over she had been handed him the ticket the lady that was going to stop was here uh elego man was here there was another officer here I was here I said to the the other officer that didn't arrest me I said how fast was he going he said I don't know it's not my stop I said you know what it's right so I walked over and looked at the ticket because the lady said that he was doing double the speed on me and I was like that's pretty fast I don't think he was going that fast this man and he wasn't going double so I just asked I was like we just want you to be factual man you have the speed right there there's no reason to say the man was going double when he wasn't and that's when I got this attention you shut up I don't have a first My First Amendment right is free spe doesn't work in okobe yes you have the right for freedom of speech once the ticket was explained to them and he leaves that's when the traffic Stop's over he wasn't in the traffic stop the guy that had the thick in his hands no the the the officer with me he he was he was back up to the officer that was there conducting the traffic stop the traffic stop was over okay I'm not
