I'm going to ask for your ID one more time. No, sir. No. Under what law? Grab a seat on the ground, please. Under what law? Is that a lawful order? Yes. Under the intention of arrest, sir. Under Is that a lawful order? 423 copy for not identifying yourself upon request. This is This is against my constitutional rights. No, it's not. This is against my fourth amendment right. It absolutely is. Absolutely not. What crime did I commit? I already explained to you. You were riding your bicycle with those headphones on is that a misdemeanor or a felony? On a routine bike ride along Clearwater Beach, Trevor Ahern shouted to alert a driver creeping through a stop sign only to discover it was Sergeant Daniel Naggermith of the Clearwater Police Department. Florida statute 316.3041 3041 states, "No person shall operate a vehicle while wearing a headset, headphone, or other listening device other than a hearing aid or instrument for the improvement of defective human hearing." However, Niggerith's immediate focus on Trevor's headphones without verifying if they were in use or if music was playing suggests retaliation for Trevor's shout rather than a legitimate concern for traffic safety. Trevor noted his phone was dead, meaning no audio was playing. Yet, Naggermith never asked about volume, pass through features, or functionality, undermining any claim of reasonable suspicion. This stop wasn't about enforcing a minor traffic violation. It was a power trip with Nagger Smith leveraging his authority to intimidate a citizen who dared challenge his driving. Why are you riding with those things on your head? Sorry, you're not allowed to ride with those things on your head. Not allowed. Yes. You want me to give you a ticket to show you? Don't give me an attitude cuz I'll make it very difficult for you. Take your hands out of your pockets. Why are you all over the street? [Music] Yes. Now you are. Can I see some ID, please? Under. Put the bicycle down. What? What did I put the bicycle down? What crime did I commit? I will explain it to you once you give me your identification, please. What crime did I commit? Put the bicycle down and then stand over. Do you have reasonable and articulable suspicion? Probable cause. No probable cause. What is your reasonable suspicion? Stand over the bicycle. What do you mean stand over it? Stand over the way you were. Why? Because I'm asking you to do so. What is your reasonable suspicion, sir? Don't pick the bicycle up. You just said stand. Can I see your driver's license again? Confused. Are you filming? Registration. What is your reasonable suspicion? Can I have your sergeant? I am the sergeant. What is your reasonable art suitable? I'm going to ask for your driver's license one more time and then what? And then we'll discuss it cuz I wonder who you are. Oh, sir. No. Under what law did I break? Cuz I had headphones on while I was riding a bike. That's a law. Can you cite the the I will once you give me your ID? No, sir. Okay. I'm not going to give you ID if you don't tell me what law I broke. Are you recording on your camera? Yeah. Don't take the camera. I'm going to ask for your ID one more time. No, sir. No. Under what law? Grab a seat on the ground, please. Under what law? Is that a lawful order? Yes. Under the intention of arrest, sir. Under Is that a lawful order? 423. Copy 1050 on a bicycle.

So, I'm going to ask for ID one more time. No. Okay. I I don't believe I committed a crime and you can't crime. Okay, then why am I being civil right now? Civil violation. Then why am I being detained right now? Right now it's going to be obstruction. Obstruction for what? Because I've asked for your identification filming. Can you turn your body camera on, please? 100%. It's I don't see a light or anything on there, sir. It's recording you. So is that. Can we have another officer here? We're coming with another one. Sir, we can have I don't feel safe right now, man. I didn't commit a crime. You're detaining me for no reason. You almost pulled out in front of me over there and I said something. So now you're abusing your authority. No, I'm not really doing that at all. I've asked for a driver's license and I said no. Under what? Under what what crime did I commit? I've explained to you wearing headphones on your bicycle. Okay, then then you said it was a citation and not a crime. It's not a crime, is it? Oh, then then you have no lawful reason to to ask me for my civil violation. No, sir. I'm going to ask you to sit down one more time. No, sir. Is that a law? Are you under Is that under the threat of arrest? It could be because my next You do not give me your identification. If you not identify yourself at this time, sir, I will arrest you for obstruction. So, I'm asking you now to sit down, please, cuz you're making me nervous. I'm asking you to sit down. Is that a lawful order? Yes. Under the threat of arrest? Yes. I want to let you know I do have a weapon on me. That's what I figured. Yeah. I'm a concealed weapons license holder. What were you going to tell me that you had a firearm on you? I'm under the threat of arrest. Well, you look could be happening right now. I didn't commit a crime because I've asked you for your ID now seven times. I didn't commit a crime, sir. You're riding your bicycle with those headphones on. Is that a crime? You said it was a citation. Is it a misdemeanor or a felony? It's a violation. Is it a misdemeanor? Enough for me to stop you to talk to recording this. Where's the firearm? It's in my waistband. Appendex K. They kept reaching for it. As Trevor questioned the stop's legality, Niggerith escalated the situation, detaining him and demanding identification without clear justification. The fourth amendment of the US Constitution protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures, requiring officers to have reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime for detention. Trevor repeatedly asked, "What crime did I commit?" But Nagger Smith only cited a civil traffic violation, which doesn't justify detention or ID demands under Florida law. When Trevor exercised his right to question the sergeant's authority, Ngermith accused him of obstruction for not providing ID despite no legal obligation to do so for a noncriminal citation. The sergeant's orders to sit on the ground under threat of arrest, further exposed his intent to dominate rather than deescalate. Trevor, a concealed carry license holder, disclosed his firearm responsibly. Yet Naggersmith twisted this into a threat, claiming Trevor was reaching for it, a baseless accusation to justify his overreach. This detention wasn't about public safety. It was about punishing Trevor for asserting his rights. I wasn't reaching for you in your pockets. It's loaded. There's one in the chamber. There's one in the chamber. It's loaded. Okay. Anything else? Uh, I have I also have a medical marijuana license and I have medication. He hasn't identified himself, so I'm going to charge him with obstruction. Obstruction for what crime? For not identifying yourself upon request. This is This is against my constitutional rights. No, it's not. This is against my fourth amendment right. It absolutely is. Absolutely not. What crime did I commit? I already explained to you you were riding your bicycle with those headphones on. Headphones on. Is that a misdemeanor or a felony? It's a traffic citation. Stand up. I have the right to detain you. What's going to happen to my bike? It's going to get impounded. Okay. Firearms going to get taken. Okay. Are you using any kind of medical marijuana today or? No, sir. No. But you have medical marijuana card? Yes, sir. Are your eyes normally clean? What do you mean? They normally look really tiny. You use my right to remain silent. I'm sorry. I'm going to exercise my right to remain silent cuz what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring another officer over here too to come talk to you. 51. My wallet is in my bottom right hand. I'm good. Thank you. I'm sorry. So, where's your identification, sir? Cuz it would have been real easy just to give me the ID. Um, I can take you under that last connection. Thank you. Are you guys body on? Yes, sir. Trevor, how hard would that have been? Trevor Oh, heartburn's bad. I need aggravation. Like I need a hole in my head today. [Music] [Music] All right, sir. See, so you just believe what I'm telling you so it's you don't think I am lying to you. It says right here, "Wearing headset, headphones, or another device when driving a bicycle, it's against the law." Is that Mr. in here. No, it's a simple traffic citation. Okay. So, that and all you would have had to do is you would have been I would have probably given you a warning and none of this would have happened, but you decided to be obstinate and wouldn't give me any information. Exercise my rights. What right do you have? You have the right to be identified. I And then you're carrying a firearm. You're sticking your hands in your pockets. I told you you're making me nervous. License holder, man. Whether you are or not, they're still a responsible gun holder. You're supposed to be responsible. What are the things they do tell you? being responsible. I'm also a responsible American by exercising my rights, sir. I'm going to I'm going to stop talking. Well, I'm not going to argue about Constitution. You We'll go to town with you on that arguing. I'll go I'll go with you on the Constitution. I know it very very well. You're playing with the wrong officer as far as that goes. Now, you're going to be charged today with the minimum obstruction, resisting without violence. I asked you for your identification multiple multiple times. you refused to comply with my lawful order. You're going to be issued that citation and I have an officer coming over here to examine you for driving under the influence because I I suspect there might be some impairment in you as well. So, I'm going to have you talk to that officer and I'm going to remove myself. Not part of the investigation. Here he is. This is Officer Gates. Nger Smith's conduct culminated in charging Trevor with resisting without violence and ordering a DUI investigation despite no evidence of impairment beyond tiny eyes, a vague and subjective claim. Florida statute 843.02 defines resisting without violence as obstructing an officer in their lawful duties. But Trevor's refusal to provide ID for a civil infraction doesn't meet this threshold as confirmed by case law like state vert JP 2014. The sergeant's threats to impound Trevor's bike and seize his firearm further illustrate a vindictive abuse of power triggered by Trevor's initial shout and sustained by his refusal to submit unquestioningly. Trevor, a longtime Clearwater resident, now fears routine bike rides after 8 years without incident. Humiliated as a taxpayer and American, Neggermith's unprofessionalism, mocking Trevor's heartburn and boasting, "You're playing with the wrong officer," reveals a bruised ego driving this violation of rights. This encounter underscores a broader issue. When officers prioritize control over constitutional protections, they erode public trust and safety. Like and subscribe for more police cam stories.
