And technically we have it towed, as long as you remove the vehicle from the property, you guys are more than welcome to be here on the sidewalk. It's a public street. Oh, you touch my [ __ ] or you're going to get knocked out. Jesus. You want me to call the cops? You want me to call the cops? You Just just Mark, just just calm down. In just a few short minutes, what seemed like a minor situation turned into a test of ethics and the law. The trespass law. You want to come out here and enforce the law, learn the trespass law. Yeah, that's not what I said. What I asked you is I'm trying to understand what happened. And what I'm asking you I guess the camera didn't hit you when he when he struck it and and moved it. They thought wearing a uniform was enough to bend the law, but in front of this camera every mistake was exposed and the price came faster than they ever expected. A man was filming near a parking area when over a vehicle that wasn't even his, he suddenly found himself surrounded by security and police who insisted on holding him responsible. Was this a simple mistake or a scenario already set in motion? All right, guys, here we go. Issuing this first out here. And um [ __ ] I don't even know where we are. [ __ ] "Do you have my phone?" Okay, so this guy's making a call to probably somebody on the inside. And uh I'm sure somebody else will be coming out here pretty shortly here. You got no whistle. Who says it's private property? Should have called a 30. You guys don't You didn't even have a 30, so I'm going You got 5 minutes. 7:30 and he They're going to talk to the home management and then why you guys get Everything initially seemed like a minor misunderstanding. No one was detained. No one was handcuffed. But quiet phone calls began to be made. And the atmosphere slowly shifted. Then when police returned with a completely different attitude the story took a turn no one saw coming. So, if that's your guys' pickup truck it is on their property. They asked that you move it. They can technically have it towed, so as long as you remove the vehicle from their property, you guys are more You're more to be here on the sidewalk. It's a public street. Does that make sense? I don't see what the problem is. Well, the pickup truck is on their property. >> That's not my problem. I don't care. >> pickup truck? You know what? I don't answer questions. You want to investigate that, that's up to you. But you guys are crossing the line by even disturbing me, coming to my camera. >> saying anything. You are more than welcome to be here. I understand, but you're coming and telling me what to do, and you haven't even done your proper investigation yet. >> I don't answer questions. You want to investigate that, that's up to you. That's your pickup truck? I'm not going to answer any questions. I'm not moving anything off of any lot. You know what? If they claim that that's mine, Okay. you know, oh well. >> if they have it towed, cuz it's on private property, then that's I mean >> truck comes and I go running, I had a chance to get the truck off of the lot, right? Okay, so you're not going to move the truck? I'm not moving anything. No way. Why would I? Making things difficult. I am moving [ __ ] Making things difficult. Is that what you guys do? You guys call the police on people taking pictures out here? You want to get my truck towed? That's what you do? Oh, that's nice. You like to ruin people's lives, don't you? You like to ruin people's lives. You're one of those people. You're one of those people that call the cops, and then you're trying to get my truck towed. Wow. Wow. Now I can't even go on the property cuz you're going to have me trespass. How am I supposed to get my truck? >> I'm asking you. No, no, no, I I We're not playing this game. We're not playing this game. We're not playing this game. You guys should just go on your way. The more the argument continued, the more unanswered questions surfaced. No verification. no clear evidence. Yet the demands grew increasingly forceful. And soon after, the tension officially exploded, shifting from words to confrontation, from suspicion to direct conflict. That's mumbo jumbo [ __ ] If that is your pickup truck, all they are asking is for you to remove it from the property. >> I'm not removing anything, man. I haven't broken the law. I know. This place is this this is open to the public. This is a parking lot for customers. >> You are This is the This is a parking lot for customers, meaning it's open to the public. >> No, this is their property. The parking lot belongs to It's still open to the public. It's still a It's still a parking lot for shipping and receiving. Look at the sign. The sign says shipping and receiving. Learn the trespass law. You want to come out here and force the law, learn the trespass law. >> Okay, so if they have >> And I have to be start I have to be causing a disturbance or interrupting their business. Hold on 1 second, man, because you're trying to you're trying to give me instructions. No. I have to be First of all, I have to be interrupting their business. Or I have to be causing a disturbance, and there wasn't a disturbance until you two got here. Until you two got here. So, you guys can go back to work. I don't feel safe with you guys. I don't get in any car with no police around, man. You guys are quick to pull people over. Hell no. You guys could go away. You can go away. You can go away. Hey, they just want you to move your truck. No, man. The The roads are safer when you police with all your weapons are not around, man. With your little ticket book, ready to write tickets, ready to take people to jail. They just want you to move your truck. No, I'm not moving anything, man. But not with no police here. Once the police clear out, then I'll clear out. If you guys don't clear out, I'm not clearing out of anything. I don't trust you guys, man. >> So, if we stayed here until they towed the truck, is that the answer? Hey. I'll have a chance to retrieve my truck at the last second. If you guys want to pull me over, that's on you, right? That's what you want? >> pull you over, sir. That's what you want? You can move your truck any time. No, man. I'm not moving anything. I'm not moving anything. The truck is on private property, so do what you want with it. Yeah, exactly. If they have it towed, it's on them. It's on them, man. It's on them. I don't answer any questions. You guys be on with your business. The truck's on private property. You guys do what you want with it. Congratulations. You're about to ruin somebody's life by towing their truck away. Warnings were issued. The pressure mounted, and the vehicle, once thought to be irrelevant, suddenly became the focal point of the entire confrontation. As the pressure reached its peak, a critical detail unexpectedly surfaced, and from that moment on, everything changed. here that says no parking. It has to be posted. Learn the law. Learn the law. Learn the law. This is getting good. He's asking the police if they can tow the car, and they said they can't cuz it's on private property. They're responsible for that. Learn the law. There's no sign. Show me the sign that says no parking. Owners will be towed. Vehicles will be towed at owner's expense. Where's the sign? Where's the sign? Show me the sign. Learn the law, man. You guys can't do this. You guys cannot do this. Learn the law. Thank you. Educating. Put another one for the books, guys. There's no sign that says no parking. Maybe you should correct that so nobody parks in here. Man, no proper signage, no law. We just saved this guy from getting towed. Mhm. That's the other security guard that took off earlier. He's the one that was in there when we first got here. >> Oh, okay. Yeah. In the end, once every word had been spoken, only the truth and the law remained at the scene. What seemed like a minor incident ultimately exposed the fragile line between lawful enforcement and abuse of authority. Citizens may sue police officers under section 1983 when their rights are violated. Officers found in violation may be held financially liable and face disciplinary action or termination. Up next, he was simply standing on a public sidewalk with a camera in hand. Yet, the atmosphere quickly became unusually tense. No one stopped him until someone decided to step far too close. I try to movie. No allow film around here. Yeah. Why not? Why you filming right here? Cuz I want to. Really? You want to? Yeah. Why it's not allowed? I can. Really? Yeah. I got to call on my my supervisor. Nobody can stop me. Huh? Nobody can stop me. Why? Cuz I said. Yeah, it's not allowed. It's uh forbidden forbidden. Yeah, I'm going to stand here all day and I'm going to film all day long. For real? And nobody Nobody is going to stop me. Nobody. Nobody's going to stop me. Nobody. So, let me have a sensor. In a brief moment, an action that seemed insignificant ignited the situation. Voices changed. Emotions spiraled out of control. And the first serious accusation was made, turning a lawful act of filming into the center of a heated confrontation. Just going to the center. Just calm down. We We just >> You don't like people coming up to you and hitting your [ __ ] do you? What if you were and I came up to you and whacked it You're not going to like it. You're not going to like it and you're going to put me in jail, aren't you? >> No, of course not. Why would I put you in >> If I came up to you and touched any part of your body, you would put me in jail. >> This is our property, so I'm on the public sidewalk. This is called the And that's fine and that's fine. And there's public walking here. Look, there's public walking here all day long. That's fine. All right, you guys >> We just We just wanted to ask you We just wanted to ask you why you're here and what your intent is. >> I don't need a purpose. I don't need a purpose. I'm filming in public. I'm a photographer. None of your business what I'm doing. None of your business. We're just curious because if there is any implication to our business, we want to know. That's all we're asking. I have to give you the right come out and batter me on the And right now you're filming me. There is no right for you to >> You expect no pri- privacy expectation in public. Why are you filming me? >> Because you're standing in front of a camera. You walked up to me. You don't have to be >> I'm a photographer. You walked up to me. I I was on your side. >> I don't care, all right? I'm filming anything I can see. Anything my eyes can see, I can film. You turned the camera to me right now. Yeah, I sure did. You're standing in front of me, you're going to get filmed. >> Okay, I'll stand next to you. >> Yeah, you're still going to get filmed. You still are turning the >> matter. I don't need your permission. I want to make a citizen's arrest on this guy. This guy just battered me for standing here in the public sidewalk. Citizen's arrest, right now. Right now. What's going on? Get your sergeant out here. Get your supervisor out here. Hang on, I'll talk to you in a second. Can I help you? No, I'm the [ __ ] victim. You're going to talk to me if I ask you to. This gentleman was observed here on the street on the pavement on the pavement on the sidewalk. Yes. And right next to our truck. So I was just we were just curious to see why he is here. He's filming us with After the controversial action, the atmosphere at the scene immediately shifted. Explanations were offered, but the gap between the two sides only grew wider. When police arrived to clarify the situation, all eyes turned to one question. Would this be handled according to the law or according to personal perception? Now what do you mean? If if he committed a battery and you want to do a citizen's arrest, we can do that. I'm reporting to you what happened. Okay? I'm going to show you the video. Don't make me waste my time by turning off my camera and showing me and you're going to make the coward call. This didn't happen. That didn't happen. I'm telling you exactly what happened. He's a witness. I got it on film. He battered me. Okay? Yeah, I'd like I'd like to see it. Yes. Yes. Now after that we need to investigate because I think that he battered so he's going to show me some footage and then we'll take it from there. I'm going to stop the video. I showed it to you. Now you're going to make an excuse. I'm trying to understand what happened here. What I'm asking you is >> to you that I was holding the camera. He battered my camera which is expensive for my life. In return that means that he battered me. I was hoping something like that would All right, do you understand that? Does that make any sense? What I'm My question is, did the camera hit you when he moved it out of the way? Did it hit your body? >> and if I knock your glasses off of your face, if I didn't touch your face, is that okay? Well, let's see uh I'm just trying to understand what happened. >> Let's say you're holding your flashlight and I go and I whack your flashlight, is that going to be okay? You can be okay with So, what is it What is it you want done? get something in my hand. You're telling me that's okay as long as it didn't hit me. That's what you're about to tell me. I'm trying to understand what happened. Let me ask you, if you're holding a flashlight in your hand and I go and whack it out of the way, you're going to be okay with that? So, next time I see an officer flashing me in the face, I'm going to whack it out of the face and I'm going to say that the Serda 568 from the Burling office said that that was fine. That's not what I said. What I asked you is I'm trying to understand what happened. What I'm asking you, I guess the camera didn't hit you when he when he struck it and and Evidence was mentioned. The camera was asked to be reviewed, but the way it was assessed raised serious questions. A conclusion seemed to be forming even though not everyone agreed with it. And just when it appeared the story was about to end, what followed made one thing clear. It was far from over. Officer Gonzales Okay. The uh they're not going to be a citizen's arrest, okay? The uh I don't believe a battery occurred, okay? Myself and my supervisor do. So, uh unless there's anything else I can help you with, you're free to walk to uh continue uh filming or taking pictures or whatever it is you want to do. Okay? I'm going to take you to the police station and make a report on you. Okay. Well, you can go to the station, but I'm not going to give you a ride. Why not? Cuz we don't do that. >> a ride when you wanted to take me to jail, don't you? But you don't want to give me a ride. I'll go a report on your ass. No. Why not? You can walk to the station if you like. It's right over there. Cuz I don't believe a battery occurred. How How did it not occur? Okay. I'm not going to explain it to you, okay? I Have a good day. What is your reason for it? Yo. I'm talking to you. I'm talking to you. You need to come and talk to me. No, I can't make a I wanted to make a report on you. You don't have to You need to come back over here and talk to me. That's it, we're done. >> No, we're not done. You come over here and talk to me. That's it. Talk to my supervisor. >> No, I want to talk to you. You're the coward that's going to tuck tail and run and kick rocks all the way home. And you're the one that's not making a report like I asked you to. So, I want to talk to you. Now, you can step back over here and let's go let's have a conversation. Make a report on your ass, baby. Oh, hey. Hey, sir, 5600. I hope I don't see you on the streets again. I'll report you all day long. Now, what was your reason for denying the report? Cuz I didn't believe it was a battery. >> How do you know? Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it with your eyes? How do you believe it's a battery? By word of mouth? He explained it to my officer. I asked him. He said he viewed your video. He actually recorded you. So, you told me you had it recorded. He said it wasn't a battery. I believe him. So, the guy Move your camera away from me. Oh, yeah, with with everything was calm, you just called me a piece of [ __ ] right? I didn't see it. You're a [ __ ] coward and you're a piece of [ __ ] and you don't [ __ ] serve the public. You don't You're not out here to do a public service. You're out here helping me for the city and [ __ ] arrest people for [ __ ] no for your [ __ ] [ __ ] ass false law. That's all you're [ __ ] good for, you coward and you're a piece of [ __ ] You're [ __ ] [ __ ] No handcuffs, no arrest, but no sense of resolution either. The exchange ended in dispute, leaving behind a troubling question. Who was truly protected in that moment? The law or power?
