Is suspicion a crime? So, anybody can call in suspicious to anybody. This is how they respond, folks. I guess suspicion is a crime. So, if you call in anybody suspicious, they're in trouble.

The cover up by the police involved could lead to internal investigations and criminal prosecution. It seems like carrying a cross here is also suspicious behavior.

I'm pretty sure that >> you [laughter] don't know that. >> I'm just curious. You're filming back in behind our areas with assuming there's nobody at them. We have computers back there with information that's sensitive. So, >> I'm making sure and and I'm being nice about it. I'm making sure I'm doing it in areas where people are gone. Right. I [music] could come right up when somebody's right there working. >> That's fine. So, >> I don't think I'm being rude to you about anything. >> I said there's [music] no need for you to follow me around. >> Get close to me. Look, this is how close we are. >> Couple feet. >> Not very much. >> I mean, there's no reason to do that, right? I just work. That's all I do. Oh, we got these people coming. Let me get out their way. >> We're going to be in that first. >> Keeping tabs on your lobby is following me around close couple feet. I'm wondering if he's still following me really close. Yeah, he is. Long hallway here that we seen where they do their office is right there. >> You can't film there. >> I'm busy, bud. >> Dave, fly this gentleman that he can't film in the secured area. Just continue to do it. >> He's telling me he can't film in a secured area. He's incorrect. I can't be in a secured area. I can film in it. And I'm going to film in this one, too. So, dude just doesn't know what he's talking about. He's looking for an opportunity to say something. Um, and he thought that was his opportunity, right? That was his big opportunity. >> The arrival of the police seems to solve everything, but do they really understand the law or will they become a continuation of this mistake? >> I know it's it's it's uh if we had it covered up, it'd be different, but it's like the average person could look in inside there and see it. Even though it's a secure area, nobody's allowed unless you have permission. >> He can't go in there, though. >> Can you say you were wrong? >> Apparently, I was wrong. >> Cool. Apology maybe. >> You're not getting >> You're not man enough to apologize. [music] You were wrong. >> To be insulting at least four or five times. >> Yeah, I'll take a while. Yep. I'll be in here until they close. No, not man enough to apologize. He said he was wrong. You can't say you were wrong. >> What is your objective? I mean, obviously a YouTube video. What are you trying to accomplish? You're not going to help him. >> Uh, well, again, I don't need help. I told you outside I didn't need help. >> I know. I'm offering No, I'm good. >> I'm offering my help again. >> I I appreciate you saying you were wrong. [music] >> What are you talking >> cuz most people won't do that, right? Most people aren't big enough emotionally to do that. I know I have a hard time with it myself, right? >> I feel like you're going to become distracted. [music] I'm >> like a fly on the wall. >> I feel like you were distracting me. As a matter of fact, you grab my camera, which legally is definition of misdemeanor assault, unwanted touching. >> Don't touch it. Just my advice would be don't touch people, man. If I wanted to, I could have took it as a threat. I could have defended myself. I could have done XYZ. Let me give him a black eye so he doesn't touch me. And it's it's not needed, right? So, you avoid that by keeping [music] space. Don't touch people. Things like that. >> Okay. >> But yeah, I'll be here a while. >> As long as you're not interfering with anything that's here, you cannot record any private citizen that walks in this building. >> No, that's not true. >> It is true. >> No, it's not. Where's a private citizen? If you don't have their permission, you cannot do that. [music] >> You're wrong again. >> No, you cannot do that. >> You're wrong. You're wrong. >> No, because they're sharing private information. You cannot record that. >> Incorrect. [music] >> It is not public information. This is a public space. >> Incorrect. >> As the truth gradually comes out, one person is forced to admit he was wrong, but stubbornly refuses to apologize, leaving behind big questions about citizenship and justice. Yeah. >> Making them famous. >> You too famous. >> So, sounds like the other um sheriff had to go call the uh sergeant. Look at the windows blocked up. And this is exactly what they're not supposed to do because it's a violation of fire code and building code. But they have them blocked here as well and blocked there. Oh, no. Not blocked there yet. But they're blocked here. Right. And these aren't supposed to be blocked. That's a hearing room. So maybe they have some leeway there. That's right. >> Yeah, >> it's making for good good material. >> Well, you guys are having a conversation, man. Let's just come check it out. What are we talking about? >> Obviously you >> Oh, that's cute. But what about >> Did he learn something? >> What's going on? >> Okay. >> Same thing you've been hearing. Just curious to what you're doing. >> Oh, that's cool. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's a times about a little education. You never hurt nobody, right? >> That's all. Easy enough, right? They didn't want to show me. Let's get her off the camera. They didn't want to show me her or they tell me what their conversation was about. That's all good. >> BAT continued to film and document further fire code violations with improperly boarded up windows. The staff's actions and the police's response revealed gaps in training and understanding of the law by the public authority. [music] You're refusing. Put >> your hands behind your back. No, I'll get it. Because you're arrested. May I ask why? >> You're refusing to identify yourself. >> Man was arrested just for daring to argue with the police. It all started with a simple transaction. >> And uh she said something. I was like, "Well, that's bullshit." I was like, "I want gas now with my money." >> No, man. You're right. >> Stop moving. >> Okay. Okay. You're right. >> And now you're going to go to jail because you think you know everything. a small argument at a gas station. But just a few minutes later, the police show up and everything turns into an incredibly strange arrest. >> Made the $45 payment, but they refused to correct it. Give me back my money or give me the guy. >> No, man. You're right. >> Stop moving. I'm sorry. >> Yeah, but you just wanted to argue with me and you didn't want to identify. >> So now you're going to go to jail. >> He refused to hand over his papers. But what made the police want to immediately handcuff him when there was no sign of a crime? Why would you say that? >> Because I came in. Okay. I went inside. I paid for $15 in gas. I went outside the pump. She chased me outside. She's like, "So, I'm sorry." She's like, "You only got a partial payment." She's like, "You need to come back in pan." I was like, "That's weird." I went, made the full $15 payment. But they refused to correct it. Give me back my money or give me the gas. I was like, "What's up with that?" And uh she said something. I was like, "Well, that's bullshit." I was like, "I want gas now my money." So, I cussed him. Oh, she's a [ __ ] one. >> No, they didn't come outside. Then that black dude in there work behind the counter. Man, he almost got to a physical location. He almost put his [ __ ] hands on. I'd have beat that dude's brakes on, buddy. I'd have broke his nose. Straight up. >> Where's your car? >> But yeah, they took the $15 of gas. So, I would like my $15 back. >> You got your ide. But I ain't broke my laws. I ain't giving. >> You are giving it cuz I'm here on a legal reason. >> Listen, I've been waiting on you. So, in order to have the law update, get over here. You have to have reasonable political suspicion that I haven't broken the law. >> Because you think you know the law, then you will go to jail. Shocking statement from a female officer who is blatantly abusing her power. >> I knew they was calling you. So wait on the property. >> Like I said, I am here on a legal reason. >> I know you're in. >> I'm asking you. >> You're not getting my >> Okay, turn. >> Why would you? >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Yes, ma'am.

I apologize. >> Have a seat. Not looking. >> It's like a normal car. >> Can I ask what kind of >> Uhhuh. Yep. >> So, what's this guy's issue? >> He was just And he said that he paid $15 in gas and that it shows on his phone that he has $15 in gas, but then he's refusing to identify himself.

He starts walking away and I'm like, "Sir, I'm here only reason. I'm here to talk to you in particular. I need your ID." And he refuses and I was like, "All right, turn around. I just open up. >> I'm not giving it to you." He starts walking away and I'm like, "Sir, I'm here only reason. I'm here to talk to you in particular. I need your ID." And he refuses. No. He said his wife went ahead and left to go get the kids. So, I haven't even talked to them in time. Anything. He said he was about to go home. >> He pleaded not guilty. And you'd be surprised to know where he learned how to deal with the police. >> Yes. For refusing to identify yourself. >> Well, your ID is in the ground unless >> I was there for a legal reason and I'm not going to argue with you about it. Whenever you're asked to identify yourself, you're you're legally supposed to. I'll tell you over there. >> Peace. >> Are you cut him loose or >> he's he's under arrest for obstruction. >> I know. I'm saying are you jail? >> Johnny was arrested, detained, and released later that day. At his first [music] hearing, he asked the court to dismiss the charges on the grounds of unlawful detention, a request that was denied.

When I walked in here first, >> all right, she gave me an attitude. >> We're here to help people, but >> I'm a member of the public and that's all you're going to need to know. >> So, I better I I I suggest you pipe down, okay?

Hundreds of thousands of people are watching and preparing to act. Can those who fear the light of transparency escape the consequences? >> So, I'd rather have those conversations. Just let your chief know that that we weren't out here going back and forth like me and him. >> It was total opposite. Why? Because I give you respect just like you've given me. >> You be safe out there. Okay. Seriously, you too. You guys are okay. And I appreciate your respect. Seriously, it's all I want. Okay.

I ask him how can I help you? >> When you ask me how you can help me Fourth Amendment, man, >> that's fine. >> You know, you have my rights. Um, you know, I'm not trying to push any boundaries. >> As the truth gradually comes out, this man's true identity causes the whole building to explode, but he's still trying to hide something. >> That's your position? >> Yep. >> Do you work for the city? >> Yes. >> Okay. What do you do here? >> I do a lot of stuff. How can I help you? Well, if you do a lot of stuff, I mean, it's kind of limited on what you can help me with if I don't know exactly what you do. Like, what's your position here? >> What was your name? >> Oh, boy. Let me get you a business card. >> Thank you. I appreciate it. >> So, now, can you tell me what you want? >> And you got it. >> You're the city manager. >> Yep. >> You do a lot of stuff, huh? >> Yeah, I do.

And you said I do a lot of stuff. >> After I ask you, how could I help you? >> Yeah, but I don't know how you could help me if you don't tell me what you do and who you are. Yeah, I don't think you very much help at all, actually. >> Okay. >> To be honest, and I don't think you should start a conversation off the way you did, especially with the member of the public >> by asking how can I help you >> when you ask me how you can help me from what you can help me with. But if you're like the janitor, okay, and I don't know that >> janitors know a lot of stuff >> at all except for mopping the floor, cleaning the bathroom. >> Okay, now that we got >> Maybe that's what you should do instead of being a city manager. >> Maybe it is. >> Yeah, I think it is. >> Okay. >> Yeah.

Do you guys have like a form or >> Sorry. >> Do you guys have a form? >> I can get you in contact with our city clerk. I can call her. >> Okay. Yeah, I just need a copy of a foyer request and then I could submit it. >> An emergency call causes three deputy police officers to suddenly appear and the truth about who dialed the emergency number shocks everyone. >> Hey, >> how's it going, man? >> Good. You? Hey, was that you on the other side of the parking lot? >> Nope. >> Oh, I saw a sheriff's department uh vehicle over there. >> I just got here. >> Yeah, I figured you'd be here. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it's usually the typical go-to for them. >> I I don't want to chop it, man. >> You're good. >> Awesome. You got a body cam? >> Yeah, man. It's on. >> Where's it? Ah, there you go. You don't have the actual >> What's your name? >> Yeah, that's right here, man. Information. It's playing Full the Amendment, man. >> That's fine. >> You know, >> what's going on today? Just hanging out. >> Well, hanging out would be loitering. I'm a straight shooter. >> Yeah. >> Um Yeah. No, I'm just doing city business. Uh looking around the building. I just asked him if I could look at the chambers real quick, you know. >> Okay. >> Um doing some public records requests. >> Sure. >> You know, stuff like that. Um you got a call for service? >> I did. >> What was it? Suspicious? >> Sure. >> Usually I've been doing this for a long time, man. I'm usually two steps ahead. You know, >> I'm pretty familiar with it myself. So, >> okay. Yeah. >> With like what we do or what I do >> first. As long as you're not going to private private offices and stuff, we're good. >> Oh, we know this. I know this. I know that. Um I'm not here to disturb the business or stop them from working. Okay. >> Uh they may feel a little uncomfortable. >> Cameras are all around this place. I'm sure, you know, and um >> you're allowed to do what you're doing. >> Yeah. No, I I I don't need to be told that. Unfortunately, they do. He was a little rude to me, which is typical of town managers, city managers sometimes. But I asked him, you know, uh he let me in. Uh he asked me if he could help me and I said, "Well, what do you do here?" And I said, "Well, I don't know what you could help me with if you don't tell me who you are and what you do." And he's like, "I do a lot of things." So >> that's how that started off. Like >> just curious. I have no vendetta against him. >> I just got a call from city hall. >> Yeah. >> So >> Okay. You know, >> cool. Cool. >> And uh >> Yeah. >> I mean, this this might be considered a private office. I don't know. Yeah, that's fine. >> All righty. >> The chambers. Thank you. I appreciate that. >> No transparency, huh? >> You don't Oh, really? Really? Mock? You called the police, huh? >> Instead of escalating the situation, a deputy did something unprecedented, turning the situation 180° and leaving the caller speechless. [music] >> How does that work with the ranks? >> It's pretty much like a corporal. We don't actually have a corporal rank at this agency. So, it's just just field training officer. >> Yeah. How long you been training? >> Been on the post for if you don't mind me asking. >> All in all, about 8 years. >> Eight years total with the sheriff's. >> Uh, I started in Alabama. Oh, >> okay. There you go. Yeah, I can hear the accent. >> Couple different >> uh just curious a little transparency. Um what what was told in there? I I saw your CAD. I saw a suspicious person. >> So, they're not familiar with First Amendment. It seems like you're pretty educated on what you're allowed to do, what you're not allowed to do. >> Yeah. I mean, I do I do, you know, push the limits a little bit, but I'm within the law, >> you know. Um, >> don't do that. Nobody's on the phone. >> No, no, no. I appreciate that. And, you know, these things can go so, you know, so many different ways. I don't want to take too much more of your time. I know you got probably better things out there to do. You know, either you guys try to enforce your feelings and emotions and try to vi, you know, possibly violate my rights and trespass me. This is all I want to see in policing. Um, you know, it breaks the divide with us and, uh, you know, >> makes a difference, right? >> It does show, you know, shows a lot of respect, you know, for the people and, you know, I I really appreciate that. So, you know, I think there's a reason why you're a training officer. Um, you know, I haven't met anybody else, but >> seriously, I respect that. You know, >> you're very educated. You're >> I got one. >> Yeah. I think he's going to get me a card. Um, can I just get your name badge number if you don't mind? >> Awesome. You appreciate that. >> Oh, man. Rip that thing off, man. That's a blue line flag. It's describe red, white, and blue. You know that. off. >> No offense to to you personally, but I just I red, white, and blue is a flag, man. >> Yeah. >> You know, not blue. It's that that's you know what you know what people interpret that as a divide with the people, you know? I don't take it personal. It's just >> There you go. >> I'd rather see a red, white, and blue. That's all, man. >> All right. >> So, you guys all set? >> Yes, sir. >> Yeah. Do you have a um call for service number? Just when it seemed safe, an employee was caught red-handed being lazy and ran away in disgrace, leaving behind a valuable lesson about transparency and responsibility. >> I got a call. I got to go. >> Oh, you've been here for a hour and a half doing nothing. You piece of >> You ain't got no call. You just got caught with your pants down. He's been out here for over an hour on the phone shooting the He ain't got no call, dude. Hilarious. Look at him. He just got a call. You got to keep up on these fools, man. I'm telling you. Telling you. And you know what's crazy is a call for service just initiated about a half hour, if not a little longer, right here. And he's been over here for over an hour. All right, everybody. So, that's going to be it over here today in the city of Freeport, Florida for our First Amendment audit at the city hall. Uh, it wasn't straightforward. I asked him who he was. He asked me what he can do. And it's kind of hard to determine what people can do for you if you don't know exactly what they do and what position they hold. He was kind of going around the bush and, you know, I was playing hard to get and uh, I didn't really appreciate that too much. Not very respectful or professional. Uh, he is a city manager. Um, his information will all be in the description. If you'd like to redress your government, you could always do so. [music] um they were a little thrown off by what I was doing, but I think the uh sheriff's department uh deputies uh who was very professional, very respectful, cordial, civil, uh everything uh that you know we're looking for in our policing uh today uh did not violate my rights. Um knew what was going on. >> The incident ended without any arrests thanks to the professionalism of the FTO and its teammates. Press NH Now praised the deputies for protecting citizens rights while criticizing the city manager for his lack of transparency and abuse of power. The video became public evidence, calling on the community to monitor the government and demand accountability, which could lead to political pressure or an internal investigation. >> Why are you touching me? Why are you arresting me? What's wrong? I'm I got my IVs in my bag. >> Why are you arresting me?
