To have a taser, you can't be a felon, so I need to see some ID. To have a taser on your person, you you can't be a felon, so I need to see some ID. What what's the What crime have I committed for you to ID me? Just out here asking. No, you don't have permission to search me or to run my record. No charges, no law cited, yet they still demand ID. Is this lawful enforcement or a habit of abuse of power? To have a exposed taser on your person, you need you need you can't be a felon, so I need to see some ID. So how have I broken the law? Have I broken the law? What do you You contact somebody when they've committed a crime, then you ask them for ID. When police forget the law, it doesn't just erode public trust, it damages the very image of the uniform itself. They were simply filming from a public sidewalk, but within minutes, the questions came fast, the tone shifted, and the atmosphere outside the business grew tense. That moment became the trigger for everything that followed. Is there something I can help you guys with? I don't speak sign language. Can Can you guys explain to me what you're doing? Can you Can you explain why you're filming out front of our business, please? Don't tell me to shush. How about you explain yourself? Can you guys explain to me what you're doing, please? Do you speak English? No, I'm not going to shush. You guys are in front of our business. What are you guys doing here? All right, I'll call the police. How we doing? No, don't shush me. What are we doing here? What are you What is all this? Can you talk? Can you talk and not shush? No shushing. Is this like a YouTube thing you guys are doing or something? I'm not going to be shushed. This is a place of business. You guys are blocking our entrance. We have semis that come through here. Is there something I can help you out with? Do you guys work for the company? You guys really just want to film me that bad, then I guess that's what we're going to do until you explain yourself. The questions kept coming, but clear answers never did. Only growing frustration. And when silence was no longer tolerated, a decision was made. That single choice pushed everything into an entirely different phase. You guys need to explain yourself to me, please. All right. >> I'm calling the police, just so you're aware. Yeah, I'm outside of our place of business and we have somebody who's filming us and reporting and they're not explaining any of themselves at all. They're They're We're at 15541 Pennecom. They're standing at the I see you what? No, no, no, this is MilSpec Training. Pennecom, Pennecom Lane. Uh there's two gentlemen here with cameras and when I ask them what they're doing, they tell me to shush and they're not explaining themselves. These guys don't want to tell me what they're doing. I don't know. When I ask them, they say shush, so I'm calling the cops. I don't know, apparently they don't understand English. They look at me more like this. Like if they're in an Austin Powers movie or something. They're not in uniform, they're they're in street clothes, they're smoking cigarettes and they're not responding to anything. And they're laughing while they film us. It's a place of business, though. A call was made. Descriptions began to surface. No one knew exactly what was reported, but within minutes everything changed. And from that moment on, all eyes turned to what was about to arrive. Hey man. What's up? To have a taser you can't be a felon, so I need to see some ID. Hello. To have a taser on your person, you you can't be a felon, so I need to see some ID. To have a exposed taser on your person, you you can't be a felon, so I need to see some ID. Have I broken the law? Have I broken the law? If you're in violation, yes you have. So I need to see some ID. >> Well, I'm not a felon, so you don't have any right to search me. I don't give up my my fourth amendment. >> have the right to verify >> the fifth, man. I plead the fifth.

This is what you learn, this is what the sergeant teaches you? >> Can you explain to me how you're mistreated? To have an exposed weapon Well, first of all, you're trying to violate my rights. Have I broken the law for you to search me or to find out if I'm a felon? Have you been searched? You're not going You're not going to search me. Even if I was, that you're not going to search me. I don't give you permission. Have you been searched? I don't give you permission for that. Have you been searched? >> I don't give you permission for that, man. I don't give you permission to touch me. We'll just stay here with you guys. That's fine. No problem, man. The police arrived, but instead of clarifying the situation, an unexpected statement was made. The air grew heavy as every word carried pressure. There were no clear answers, only demands that became increasingly rigid. And it was right here that everything crossed a line that should never have been touched. >> Your badge number? You can see it. What's your name and badge number, man? >> see it. Your name is you can see it? >> Yeah. Are you that stupid? You don't know what your name and badge number is? All of a sudden it's you can see it? It's right there. Oh, your name is right there? Yep. Hello, Mr. It's right there. Is that the name your father gave you or what? You're a disgrace, man. You're a disgrace. You're a nice person. You're a dis- I know I am. I'm a real nice person. Compared to you, I'm a I'm a I understand that having a weapon on you, there are limitations to somebody being able to carry a weapon. >> I was a felon, then I probably wouldn't be carrying a weapon. So, shut the [ __ ] up. Do you understand that law? I don't give a [ __ ] what I don't I don't care what you have to say about about anything, man. >> You're out here doing your your audits, that's fine. >> Yeah, well, then keep quiet. >> to be within the law. Well, good. Just like me. Until I broke no law and you have the right to search me and to find out what my ID is. So >> is their property. If they don't want you on it >> public sidewalk. This is the public easement. This is not >> This is the public easement. Don't be stupid. This is the public easement. You don't know where property lines begin? You don't know where property lines begin or what? No, no, no. This is the public easement. This is the public easement. Shut Man, you're such an uneducated sergeant, man. What's wrong with you? This is the way you treat the people just to try to get an ID? Get the hell out of here, man. You're a disgrace. You're a disgrace. You're trying to make up all this [ __ ] just to get my ID. Oh, no, you're on you're trespassing. Shut the hell up. Get out of here, man. Get out of here. Get out of here. You're a disgrace, man. What else you going to pull up What's the next card you're going to pull? What card is Come on. Pull it out. Oh, now you want to check with the RP. Oh, yeah. Check if there's anything else you can get us for, huh? You're a disgrace, man. Instead of trying to keep the peace, you just try to make things worse, don't you? You're a disgrace, sergeant. You're a disgrace, man. >> Do you have anything else to say to me before >> You're a disgrace. You're a disgrace. And if you force me to ID, you're violating my rights, man. I'm just letting you know right now. Thank you for letting me know. >> I'm letting you know. I'm letting you know. You're on You're on You're on notice, man. Thank you for the notice. >> You're on notice. You're on notice. You're on notice. You're on notice. Okay. Idiot. After all the back and forth, no one was arrested and no clear charges were filed. What remained was a confrontation fully captured on camera. The most frightening part isn't what happened, but how easily it happened as if it were normal. Citizens may sue police under Section 1983 for violations of their rights, and officers who violate the law may face civil liability, discipline, or even termination. Up next, in the first few seconds laughter could still be heard, but very quickly the questions began. And from that moment on, nothing was simple anymore. >> All right, thank you. Sir, what are you all guys doing? What are you doing? What are you all doing with the camera? Yeah, I see that, but why? 4K. What are you all doing? You're not deaf. You can understand me. What are you all doing? Get out of my face. What? First off, you don't have my permission. Have you all told like do you need to call someone? What are you guys doing? We're making a documentary. You know? Can I see your ID card? Sure. What seemed like harmless questions slowly turned into mounting pressure. Silence was treated as provocation and the camera became the excuse. And when no one was willing to step back, a familiar option was mentioned, enough to push the story in a completely different direction. Hello. Can I help you? Can I ask who you are and what you're doing? >> [bell] >> Can you not hear me? Can I ask who you guys are and what you're doing? Any reason why you're taking pictures? I'm not going to move until you talk to me. I'm not doing anything. Why you not talking to me? Do you not speak English? I don't understand what your hand signals are over there. I don't I don't know what's over there. A wall? Flowers? Grass? I don't know what you're saying. Do you speak English? Do you speak English? Can I call the police cuz you're harassing me? When explanations were no longer accepted, frustration quickly turned into accusations. Boundaries began to be redrawn in a very different way, and just minutes later, an encounter of an entirely new nature emerged. All right, so they came up and What do you mean come here? taking pictures, videos, asking me to move, telling What do you mean come here? No, you come here. telling me to turn around The hell? Who the hell you guys think you are? And then they started taking our Who's the tyrant in this place? Oh, yeah? I don't want to argue, and I don't want to fight. You guys doing? agree what company you're with. That's none of your business, ma'am. It is because they called us. Hold on. Hold on. Okay, go ahead and record. We're recording, too. Um we're just trying to find out what you're doing here that's causing these people to call the police. That's not my concern, ma'am. Their feelings are not my concern. They can call, [ __ ] and complain to anybody. I don't care about that. It's none of your business. I'm out here I'm a photographer. I'm out here taking pictures, and that's all you got to know. No, I don't. What What's the What crime have I committed for you to ID me? I used to asking No, you don't have permission to search me or to run my record. You don't have I don't give you permission to look me up in any way or search me or ask me any other questions. I plead the fifth. >> day, ma'am. Have a good day. Goodbye. Bye. You leaving? No, are you? Yes, sir. I'm in charge of this. What's up? You're in charge here. Oh, you're in charge? You are. Tell me what you want. I'm in charge. You're in charge? He's Who's in charge here? I don't get it. So, what else you saying? What crime has been committed here? Nothing. We're just trying to find out what's Why are you trying to illegally ID me then? No, man. No, man. You contact somebody when they've committed a crime, then you ask them for ID. What crime has been committed here today? Yeah. Oh, I'll make this easy. Okay. It's not against the law to film or do whatever you want out here in the street. But if you get on their property, they have the right to arrest you guys for trespassing if you don't leave. Yeah. So, when When did we go on their property? >> I didn't say you did. Have you properly investigated making statements like that? All right, don't make your statements until you know the facts, man. All right, thank you, sir. Thank you. Thank you very much. Respectfully, have a good day, sir. >> Okay, respectfully, you understand though? Thank you, sir. The questions were no longer about filming. Instead, they shifted to identity, authority, and legal boundaries being put to the test. And it was here that the conversation turned into a trial of limits with an outcome few expected. What's your badge badge number, Al Last? Go ahead. You can film it. It's right here. You're part of the the It's right here. It's right here. It's right there. You can't just tell me what your badge number is, man? >> just tell me what your ID is. I I You're a public servant. I'm asking you for a ID number. You need to ID yourself. It's on my badge. Which is? You can read it. >> You don't know your own badge number? Excuse me. Okay, turn around so I can All right, turn Yeah. Okay, there you go. I don't want you to claim anything's going on here. I'm trying to get your badge number, okay? Let me see your name now. You got the front, but you don't got the back. Is that out? Yep, we're good. We're good, huh? Ain't that right, sir? Okay. Ain't that right? You, too. And what happened? Well. Yeah, you guys look make yourselves look kind of wacko. There's nothing wrong with that. What do you mean? What's normal? What's normal today? Explain that to me. This is technology. What's normal? What We're using technology. Problem? What problems? What are you talking about? When did we say anything to you guys to cause a problem? What's wrong with you guys? Now you're making stuff up. Dang. Lady. Lady, come on. Hey, why she filming us? Hey, hey, that's kind of weird. That lady's filming us, don't you think? Hey, why you filming us, lady, walking around? Hi, Mom. Hi, Mom. What's your name, lady? I just get I was respectfully I gave you my name. What's your name? For what? You're inviting me in? You can't arrest me for trespassing if you're inviting me in, dummy. Learn the law. You You try to invite me in, then you want to trespass. Get out of here. Dummy. You just made yourself look like a fool. Get out of here. Get back to work, lady. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Yadada, yadada, yadada. That's all you guys Blah, blah, blah, blah. Get out of here. After all the arguments and pressure, no one was arrested. No specific charges, no violations established. What remained was a recording that revealed just how fragile the line is between citizen's rights and governmental authority. And why understanding the law matters more than ever. A civilized society is not measured by who speaks louder or holds more power. But by how people exercise restraint, respect one another, and understand their own limits. Hey everyone. What do you think about this situation?
