Back up. >> I'm I'm a fair member of the media. >> Not letting anybody go back. >> Well, that's you. I'll tell you what. >> Sergeant was just out here. >> Show me where Sergeant is, >> sir. >> Just one step into a public area and instantly the entire group of officers [music] rushed in as if he had crossed a forbidden line. >> No, that doesn't that the numbers don't mean anything. >> Oh, I thought the ones with five numbers. So you're asking me just to be to stand on stand in the middle of this medium? >> Unjustified touch, one irrational command, and just a [music] few seconds of tension were enough to expose a chilling truth. >> You can't touch me. >> I can't touch it. You need to back up. >> Why you touching me? >> Cuz you can't be there. >> He was just filming in a public area. Yet within seconds, a female officer rushed in with baseless commands. >> I can't I can't stab him cuz he pushed me. You know what I mean? If he push me, I can push him. That's it. No warning, no reason. An officer suddenly touched and shoved the man holding the camera. But it was his calm response that left the entire unit stunned. >> Yeah. >> How can I help? >> CC [music] being complain for both. >> For me? >> For you? Just stay right here. Sorry. Just stay right here, please. >> Why am I detained? >> No, you're not detained. You have one year. >> I'm okay. Thank you. You guys have this hair. You don't want people to see it. >> Please, >> can you stop giving me unlawful directives? >> Please. >> Please. >> Please stop. >> Excuse me.

You need to back up. >> Why you touch me? >> Cuz you can't be it. >> Please don't Please don't make this a thing. Touch up. >> Do not touch me. >> Back up. >> You have no lawful reason to touch Stand back. >> Stop touching me. >> Get out. >> Stop touching me. You can record all you want. Get out. >> Stop touching me. Do not put your hands out. >> Don't touch me. Put your hands me. Back out. >> Stop touching me. >> Yo, what's up with your boy, bro? >> What's up with your boy? >> All right. >> I didn't get in nobody's face. I said, "It's anywhere I move." I said, "Excuse me, I'm going here." >> You understand what I said? >> Excuse me. I'm going here. It's a public area. I'm not committing a crime, bro. >> I understand. You understand? >> So, why is he touching me? >> You understand what I said? You can go ahead. You can >> I need this card. Anybody that everybody that has their body cam on it, I need your card, please. >> Can I get your cards, please? >> The tension peaked until one figure arrived. And with just a few words, the entire group of officers shifted their attitude 180°. >> You've seen me before. How many times I come here and I look through the windows? What's wrong with him, bro? >> It's all good. Listen, [clears throat] >> what doesn't exist no more? >> No recording. It's not that. >> We have the right to record. Like, how come they don't know that? >> Thank you for talking real quick. >> Hands on like real quick. >> You can't 98 them if I didn't get no cards. >> You didn't get the card. >> I didn't get nobody. I want all their cards. >> I'll get your cards. >> You can understand how you You need to remind her the escalation. They giving me Don't worry about it. Please. >> The only way you can give me a lawful order is if I'm being detained, man. I'm not committing a crime. This is a public area. No, >> he didn't go He didn't go hands on. He didn't go hands on. Your boy went hands on. All right. >> I got I got you. >> I've come here multiple times. I'm peaceful. But you put your hands on me. You got to respect. >> You got to teach him that if he puts his hands on use a force so we can defend ourselves. >> Thank you. >> I got yours. But is that his? >> I gave you mine. I appreciate that. Thank you for writing his name. >> I've been doing this 3 years. I've came here multiple times. All I do is look through the window and that's it. You know what I mean? >> It's a public area, mama. You know what I mean? >> But the reason why the the way the reason why y'all respond like that is cuz they drill police safety in your head. Not everybody's out to get you. >> How many people you know is going to commit a crime with two cameras, three cameras, and all these cops around? You guys got guns. >> Yeah, but you never know. >> Yeah, but you got to build a report. How you doing? And I said, I'm going to look through the window. I want to look at that. That's it. >> All right. Awesome. >> Which one is the one that put his hands on me? >> I'm not sure. You're going to tell me which one. >> He's a dark skin one. Short. >> These three. >> Oh, the angry one. >> No. No. >> When the citizen asked for name tags and body cam information, every gaze began to shift away. Was this merely a misunderstanding or the sign of an abuse of power being exposed? >> Your coworker was his name. >> Thank you. I appreciate it. They're going to go >> No worries. No worries. >> We're the members of the public that that we're supposed to defend. >> God bless you, man. >> You look like you got a decent heart. >> All right. If there's anything that goes against your morals, >> he thinks that because I'm pushing his hand off of me that I'm assaulting him. >> No, he's touching. >> I'm defending myself. >> If anybody if we did that to them, we'd be on the floor. And if you did that to a stranger, it'd be harassment. If a if if a cop is touching you for no lawful reason, let's say a cop comes up to me and just starts punching me for no reason, I can fight back. If we're reasonable, I can't kill him, but if he smacks me, I can smack him. If he pushes me, I can push him. >> It's the same concept like the levels of escalation you guys have. Equal force. >> Yeah, it's equal force. I can't I can't stab him cuz he pushed me. You know what I mean? If he push me, I can push him. That's it. >> It go that goes that goes to them, too. They have their levels of, right? Yeah. >> So, they can't use more more force than what you're using. >> You don't know how. >> There it is right there. That's the one you said. >> You >> 825. >> I'm so sorry. How do you say that? >> YOLO. >> You're not going to get the >> 825. >> He has three numbers. That means he's been here for a while, right? >> No, that doesn't The numbers don't mean anything. >> Oh, I thought the ones with five numbers. Oh, okay. All right. >> Some people have two, three, five, four. >> I thought it was like social security numbers. You know what I mean? >> Doesn't go in order. It's random. >> Yeah. All right. All right. Appreciate it. And what was your name, Sergeant? >> Sergeant Pos. >> Quick question. I've been to two precincts yesterday and today. >> I went to the 90th. Signs was down. I was able to record. Right. We've been following this. We've been following this case thoroughly. Right. >> So, we won the injunction and you guys immediately appealed it. >> And when the discussion turned to the right to record and the right to record law, the truth left the sergeant unsettled. Who was right? Who was wrong? And why were the directives contradicting each other? >> Right now, we're not doing nothing. >> But this is a secure facility. So unless we're invited in you unless you have some business to conduct >> this because it's secure. This is a secure facility, right? You know, you have you come in to make a report. Sure. >> Okay. We will do it. >> So if I wanted to complain on him that you want to do that? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> You have because you should follow >> because it's secured. You have to be invited in. Once we're in, we can record, but we can't just barge our way in. Yeah. Yeah. >> That's why it's like this. >> All right. So, if you want to take my complaint, I'll probably complain. >> That's the thing, too. That's another thing, too, that they can try to turn. You see how I want to walk over here? He can try to say that I'm impeding him because I'm trying to walk over here. So, it's >> But you also got to you also got to prove that I'm impeding. You know what I mean? There's a lot of uh things, but that's what the judge is for, right? >> Yeah, that's what the recording is for as well. That's why we we're recording, too. >> Sergeant, do you know the date of the last um memo that you received? Do you know the date on that? >> Uh top. >> Is there a website that we can go to follow? >> That I'm pretty sure it, you know, somewhere on the internet, >> but I don't understand. Even if it wasn't stay, we still have the right to record act which is a law. So I think that's >> that's the that's what the conflict. It's two different lines of reasoning, right? And >> but that's the reason why we won in the first place was the right >> citizens can sue police officers under SS1,983 when their rights are violated. Officers who break the law may be required to pay damages and face disciplinary action or termination. The officer's actions could lead to an internal investigation, civil complaints, and liability for damages under 42 USC 1983. Up next, in the middle of a serious shooting scene, a female officer rushed in to block the path as if she were trying to hide something. Be cool. >> Hey guys, can I help you? >> Uh, can I help you? >> Yeah, I just need you to get on this other side. >> Why? >> Uh, cuz this is all closed off. We don't want any traffic. There's a crime scene tape right here. >> Yeah. I want you back that way. Not past this car. >> Okay. >> Okay. Do you see? I've got crime scene tape all back there. >> All over there. We're not letting traffic come through. I need you to get back. >> No. >> Yeah. >> I'll tell you what. If you get your yellow tape on, you want to come across this. This is public sidewalk, right? >> Uh I need you to step back. We don't want anybody back here. >> We're not letting cars through here. >> Show me where. Show me. Show me where you want me. >> Okay. I would like you to go, sir. I need you back there. >> What's your name and badge number? >> Sectto 17641. >> What kind of like trifecta? But but facto. >> Yeah, that's cool. No, just for the record. >> So, let me ask you. I mean, this is public sidewalk. I mean, you you obviously observe me. These gentlemen see me. >> Okay. >> I'm I'm a fair member of the media. >> Not letting anybody go back through. >> Well, that's you. I'll tell you what. Sergeant was just out here. >> Show me where Sergeant is. >> Sir. Sir, >> don't you dare touch me. >> Get back. I need you to get >> Don't you touch me. >> Watch out, ma'am. I don't want you to get hurt. Be careful. Ma'am, do me a favor. >> Do you want to get arrest? I can take you for obstruction if you want. >> No, you can't. >> Yes, I can. >> What am I marked off? >> Would you like me to give you around? We don't want anybody back here, sir. >> Okay, let me ask you. >> You are you're fine to go back over there on that other side. >> Okay. >> No crime scene tape, no warning. Yet, she ordered the citizen to step back immediately. And within seconds, the tension escalated to the point of a threatened arrest. >> Now, >> I'm not doing anything wrong. We're not allowed. >> Let me ask you, >> this is part of the >> That's what you're saying. Are are you willing to put yellow tape up? >> Are you put are you putting yellow tape up? >> Control 2. >> Can I have um >> How you doing? I mean, >> is there yellow tape? Is this sidewalk or is just private? >> Well, yeah. If you guys are doing it, that's fair. That's all I was asking. That's fairness. Would you agree? because I I didn't I didn't go on in any. >> Okay, I understand that. So, what we're going to [music] do is extend the tape out to just to that sidewalk. So, if you guys can move out to that side of the sidewalk, that'd be great. >> So, was this my presence? >> I mean, if you don't mind me asking until if you don't mind me just talking to you, you guys do it. >> Not your presence in it. There's other tape out there. It's just not secured on this side. So, that's what we're going to do. >> How you guys doing now? >> Secure it out here. >> Mhm. >> Do you have some more tape? >> How you doing, buddy? >> So, good. >> Hey, how you doing? We were just members of the media. >> Did I put my hands on you? I said to move. >> Get out of my crime scene now. >> Get out of my crime scene. You've been told. >> I'm walking. >> Get out of my crime scene. >> I hear you, man. If we If you could just please move. >> Absolutely. Of course. Absolutely. Show me what you folks would like me to stand, please. >> We're going to extend this. >> Can I have 6 ft? >> We're going to extend this. >> No, you need to get away from me. There's no >> Where's Where's the Show me where? >> Exactly. Okay. So, I I can stand this close. Please tell me where you would like me to stop right now. >> Hold on, guys. Hold on. >> Thank you. this lady. Hey, >> this is going to be >> deescalation. Thank you. >> When the citizen brought up the right to record and demanded that officers follow proper procedure, everything suddenly shifted. An investigator arrived and the truth began to surface. >> Is that what you tell the judge? Is that what you tell your video? I've already judge number. >> I'll tell you what. I can't wait till you see yourself on YouTube tonight. Shame on you. I shame on you, lady. Shame on you. >> Hey guys, this time >> I'm gonna I'm gonna walk over here. >> Wait, wait. That yellow. Oh, so okay. >> So, you're asking me just to be >> to stand on stand in the middle of this median. >> I wouldn't stand in the middle of the street. >> Why? Well, Joseph Lardo told me that that you guys do not stop people for for jaywalking. Correct. And that's not jaywalking if I'm standing on technically on the island. Correct. >> Pushing in on the roadway and that's that's still is a misdemeanor of crime. >> I may not. >> I'm not in the roadway because I'm on the island. >> All right. So, where would you guys want me to stand? >> Please stand on the island there. Uh just right behind that yellow. >> Hey, you're very professional, by the way. If you don't mind me asking because this this is definitely going on YouTube. What's your name? Badge number. >> My name is Money. My badge number is 1688. Hi. Hi, everybody. >> Hey, God bless you. Pisano. Hey, you know, hey, if I can show everybody Joseph Lombardo, I'm telling you, this is why we say you're first class. Hey, you represent my Italian people really well, brother. God bless you. And out of respect to you, not not for her. Where would you like me to go, sir? >> You guys could just go right behind that yellow line there. We're about to extend it out, >> my friend. Come on. >> Hey, Officer Mazone, you're you're a good guy. >> The entire team had to extend more yellow tape to legitimize the restricted area, but it was too late. The camera had already captured every act of overreach from the very beginning. explain to her to another officer why she's about to be seen in front of a 100,000 people saying that she didn't feel like going to get the yellow tape cuz she was too lazy. I can't wait to her partner see her. You can tell. Hey, look how overweight she is. No wonder why she said that. Get back in the gym, girl. I like these guys. >> I like these guys, man. These guys go to the gym. Nice. That's what I want to see. This guy's awesome, man. This guy's got my back if I ever needed him. I'm proud of that guy. Proud of that guy right there.

That's That's first class right there. We're over there minding our business. We're just totally minding our business. And she had a meltdown on camera. Meltdown. All right, we're going to honor this tape. And as you can see, as you can see, they're going right there. Thank you, officer, for clarifying that. But as you could still see, >> and at the peak of the confrontation, the female officer became the center of attention, desperately trying to explain herself once she realized every one of her actions would be seen by hundreds of thousands of people. In broad daylight at the DMV, a citizen was just sitting there recording when the police were called. But why? They said he was obstructing the operations of a government facility. >> Let's see where it goes. Refusing refusing to leave. Just recording. >> Just sitting in here recording, not bothering anybody is disrupting >> business from going on. >> No yelling, no fighting, just a camera. Yet the officer approached. If you don't leave, you will be fined. Where was this situation headed? >> Yep. >> Well, this afternoon, I'm being told to ask you to leave since the recording is interfering with business. >> What's going to happen if I don't leave? If you refuse to leave after that, I have to write you a citation, >> which will go to refusing refusing to leave. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, I mean, I'll print it out in just a minute. >> I'll go right back. Be right back with you. All right. >> Yep. I'm sure you guys already have all my information. Yes, >> sir. >> Interfering, huh? >> That's amazing. >> What's next? All right, that's it. >> Earlier, >> I know it may not mean anything to you, but I made sure to turn my camera away from your kids. I understand the comfortability. I'm a father myself. >> I'm just here to exercise my First Amendment rights. You know, we we have a right to record in here. I've actually got lobby camera footage of multiple DMVs. It's all publicly accessible record. We're on video. >> The charges were predetermined, disturbing, and trespassing on public land, even though the actions were recorded, quiet, and in public. Was this a setup by a system accustomed to suppressing civil rights? >> They're violating everybody's rights that they refuse service to. Just Just keep that in mind. I'm I'm just here. They're finally citing me. They're saying that I'm disrupting. I'm not doing anything besides sitting here. I've got lobby camera footage from multiple DMVs. This is our first amendment right protected by the constitution and they're violating their oath of office by refusing service. >> So I'm sitting here for no reason. I can't give him a sticker. I can't get a sticker. We have stickers. >> We're not allowed to wait on anyone right now since he in here recording. >> So where do we go from here? If I if I don't leave right now, what will happen now? >> Same thing we did the other day. Just >> just sit here and wait. Huh? >> Just wait. Unless they decide to shut down early. In that case, we'll all leave. But yep, >> that's something spectacular. You guys swore enough to uphold the constitution. You've been told by the state's attorney >> that he's not going to prosecute. >> That I'm protected by the first amendment for this and you guys are still citing me. They're they they respect the constitution and their oath to it. So, do you mind if I ask your guys' supervisor's name? >> Mine's a Sergeant Burish. >> I'm sorry. >> Sergeant Burish. >> Burish. Was that am I on the right track there? >> Captain Washurn. Yep. as the order from him as well. >> I don't know about that. >> As of as of today >> to shut down the transactions essentially shut down >> as of today. It's Sergeant Burish that instructed me to cease transaction. >> Maybe maybe we the people are missing something, but this has already been relayed that it's a constitutionally protected activity. >> Handcuffed in broad daylight in public for an action protected by the Constitution. The moment the police officer gently said, "We have to follow orders." >> Would you mind saying that one more time? Yeah, like I just said, um, we're going to, if you're still refusing to leave, we're going to go ahead and arrest you and take you to county. >> And have I and I've been disrupting how? >> Just recording. >> Just sitting in here recording, not bothering anybody is disrupting >> business from going on. Yep. >> And that constitutes trespass to state supported land. >> I don't know if they're going to release or not immediately. I I can't tell you. I don't >> Yeah, I'm going to have to see it. >> Yeah, I'm going to have to see it through because we've already been told that by the state's attorney this is my constitutional right. So, if you'd like to put your stuff back in your pockets and place your hand in handcuffs and take you over your cab. Okay. >> Yep. All right. >> I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to leave this fine. >> I'm going to leave both of them on. >> What do I need to do? >> You want to You want to put your stuff down or take it off? Make sure it goes with your other hand. >> Who wants to hold it? >> As long as you don't shut it off. Let the battery die. >> Not too tight, right? >> No, we're good. >> Got to lock these. So, don't sit up on me, man. >> This is going to look really bad, guys. It's going to look really bad. >> Do you want this in your front pocket so you don't sit on it or is it good? >> Can I just hold it? >> It's up to you, man. I just don't want to break it. >> No, I'm fine. I I I'll uh Oh, the phone. No, you know what? I'll hold it. >> Yep. I'll hold it. >> All right, brother. You follow him out of here. Let's get my You mind flipping my sunglasses down? Appreciate it. >> Yep. We're good. >> Yep. We're taking the ride. We got arresting officer Cameron Ward, ex Centrellia officer right now with the secretary of state police. >> People were arrested, taken away, but kept repeating, "I was just exercising my rights." The question still lingers. Does justice really exist in this case? >> Since I haven't fought anybody and been a a a nuisance in that manner, is there any way I could get cuffed up front or no? I do appreciate that. >> Yep. Sorry. I didn't know which way to go. Appreciate it. >> All right, we're taking the ride. >> 972 stop.
