When two police officers, C. Rosa and NW Winkler, arrived at the man's door with a loud, insistent knock, he acted swiftly to protect himself. The Supreme Court in Katsv's United States, 1967, ruled that the Fourth Amendment protects individuals privacy in places where they have a reasonable expectation of it, such as their home. Grabbing his camera, he opened the window and began filming, a clear move to assert his rights. The officers pressed him about alleged emails and harassment, but he stood firm, refusing to answer questions or step outside his home. They tried to bait him into talking, suggesting only the guilty stay silent, but he saw through the tactic. By knowing his rights and keeping them at bay, he turned their pressure into a futile effort. They had no warrant, just bluster. Can I help you? Yeah, it's the police. We just like to talk to you for a second. Um, you don't mind me filming? No, I don't. No, we we filmed, too, so that's okay. It's okay. Okay. Is there a reason you don't want to open a door? Um, I just like to like to um exercise my rights to um um talk through the um the wall. It's just just my right. Just my rights. Is there a reason you don't want to come to the door? Typically, people aren't aren't really afraid to talk to us. What's up? Is there a reason? Do you know why we're here? No, sir. Got it. You know why we're here? Explain Explain why you're here. Sam, do you think you might know what we're here in regards to? No. No, madam. I'm not obliged to answer any questions. Um, okay. Do you do you still run your cloud connected business? I'm obliged to answer that question. Sam, why are you so nervous? We're just trying to talk to you. We didn't say you were in trouble. We didn't say we're going to do anything, right? We're just trying to talk to you. Sure. Um, okay. I know you're obviously in a uniform. you you came to my door and um you know it's I was it was shocked that you kind of um come along and then sort of like start uh you know at some strange time in the day. Um what time is it now? Is it sort of the afternoon? Yeah, it's 3. It's 3:00. Yeah. Honestly, this would be a simple conversation. We just sit down and talk cuz you're we just want to talk for a second about I What is the big fear that you have? Like we're been too super nice barging your door. We just want to talk. But like but Sam, you have to understand too just because we don't know you. I don't feel comfortable talking to you from a window, right? It's just not safe from our perspective cuz we we don't know what's inside your house, right? So just from our perspective, we'd rather just talk to you in person, but you can come outside. We can come inside. This is not good for us as police officers. So, okay. To be honest, I don't feel it's good for me just to come out and talk to you. I feel it's just safer if I just do it from my own home. I mean, do you have um particular warrant or um am I sort of um am I being detained or anything? I told you we just came to talk to you to get your side of the story, right? I'm not sure why you're I'm not sure why you're acting the way you are. Right. Typically, people who have nothing to hide are kind of just come out and talk to us. Oh, sure. I don't have nothing to hide. Okay. Well, your behavior is kind of peculiar. Excuse me. It's your behavior is a little bit odd. Okay. Well, I'm just basically in my own home. I I heard, you know, a massive bang on the door and I thought the haircut was kind of loud. heard and I and it's just routine for me to film. Um that's okay. And we film too, so that's okay. But that's why I told you, Sam, that we're police officers, right? I wanted to make it clear to you so that you know who we are and that's why we're banging on your door cuz we're trying to get a hold of you. We're trying to talk to you. Okay. Okay. Does that make a little bit more sense now? You just uh um reiterate yourself so I can um get that into my mind. So, okay. We're We're police officers. Yeah. From the Pasadena Police Department. Pasadena Police Department. We banged on your door in your window so that you could come talk to us. We weren't sure if anybody was home. So, we wanted to make sure if you were home that you would come talk to us. You are C. Rosa. What's your number? Oh, what what number you talking about? ID number? Yes. 7653. 76593. Oh, 7653. 7653. And you are Winkler. Winkler. Yeah. N Winkler. And your number is 9511. 951 one. 9511. Sam Hughes. Um, am I obliged to give you my You're making this a lot longer and strong. We could have already been gone by now. You're making this really weird. You were making this a bit weird. I mean, the question is, as again, do you guys have a warrant? cuz um No, I already told you we don't have a warrant. You don't have to have a warrant. Why are you here? We're trying to get to that. We're just trying to set the basis of our conversation. Well, you could get to it now. But if you don't mind, what did you say? You could get to it a little quicker as to why you're here cuz it's Well, you're the one that's prolonging it. You know, I was just having a little rest in the room. had a big knock on the door and then I I sort of like thought um you uh I saw two people in sort of uniform and then yeah, we've established that and we already explained to you who we are and why we're here. We've already been over that. Okay. Is there something you're looking around? Are you nervous about someone? Excuse me. Are you are you looking around right here? We just want to talk to you. I don't know what you're looking around for. Well, I mean, I don't I don't really have to talk to you because uh it's my right. Well, this is our partner said this is your side of what we're about to tell you. It's your best interest to talk about it. Okay. Usually, this this I feel this would violate the fourth amendment constitutional rights. It's not just so you know it's not. Well, it sort of is because you're not really coming to a you're not really telling me what it's about. You're not That's because It comes randomly to my door trying to get to it, but we're kind of going in circles with you. There is no violation of your rights. So, that's incorrect. Okay. Can we move on? Go ahead. Cool. [Music] Okay. You know, it's my understanding you go to group meetings and you are uh associate with certain uh people you wish to work with on LinkedIn. You don't understand you know the the website LinkedIn very well. Okay, perfect. We can do. Do you remember sending messages to a Chariza? Officers Rosa and Winkler grew frustrated as the man refused to engage or leave his house, hinting his demeanor suggested guilt. The fifth amendment guarantees no person shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself. He asked for their names and kept the exchange looping with simple questions. Did they have a warrant? Was he detained? They wanted a story to twist, but he gave them nothing. Staying silent and composed. His refusal to cooperate left them grasping, their authority shrinking with every dodged question. Without evidence or a legal foothold, their persistence hit a wall, proving his strategy dismantled their approach effortlessly. Do you remember sending messages to a Chariza? No, don't know of any Charesa. Okay. Do you remember meeting a woman at Raven in Raymond, Colorado? Raymond, Colorado at Crossroads? No. You exchanged business cards and then you told her she was cute and asked her out for coffee. No, honey. I'll get on your level. Shiara Scarino. Don't know. Don't know. Not very clear. You have no recollection of emailing her. Okay. Okay. Well, we know I just so you know, we have all those emails. Okay. So, we know that you emailed her. Okay. It's pretty clear. has your picture. Okay. So, we're not going to play this game. I was trying to be honest with you. I'm trying to give you a chance to speak your side. Now's your chance, right? Cuz all we're going to do is we're going to write up a case if you don't want to get your side of the Now's your chance to give us Well, I don't really have to talk to you. You don't. And that's why we're here to talk to you to see if you wanted to tell us your side of the story. If you don't want to tell us your side of the story, then we will just write up a case against you. Okay. Okay. No, I don't I'm say anything. It's my right to say nothing to the police. Okay. All righty. We'll see. Satisfy. No, it didn't change anything for me. No, that's the same. I was I I really would have liked to hear your side of the story. That's all. I have no interest in this like as far as I'm not swaying either side for the victim and the suspect. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. And so, right now, our our our topic is some emails you gave to a female and then some another another anonymous emails that she received. and now someone's scared for their life. So, I want to make sure you weren't part of that. The emails are pretty inappropriate and very threatening. So, obviously that's a crime. You can't threaten people and you can't harass them. Well, I know the law. Okay. But so that's where we're at. So, like I said, if you don't want to tell us your side of the story, then we're done here. Okay. Okay. Okay. You want to talk to us? All righty. Okay. Bye. Have a good day. In the end, officer Rosan and Winkler left empty-handed, threatening to build a case that lacked substance. Under Miranda versus Arizona, 1966, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." The man's silence gave them known ammunition to use against him. They tried to frame his filming and caution as suspicious, but he knew better. leveraging his rights to record and refuse. By standing firm, capturing evidence, avoiding self-inccrimination, and demanding accountability, he exposed their overreach. The officers came to intimidate but walked away powerless, showing how a sharp mind can outmaneuver corrupt tactics without breaking a sweat. Like and subscribe for more police cam stories.
