Yes, sir, right here. Oh, you wanted him. You wanted him right here, guys, huh? We called him right here, family. >> Yeah, you know what you know what I got for you right here. Here's this right here. Is that illegal? Is that illegal? Yeah, the driver's license. >> Yes, I will. But is it is that illegal? >> I'm not going to answer any questions. I'm asking you for your identification, please. An ID request with no clear reason. A camera capturing everything. And sometimes just a few minutes like that can be enough to start a lawsuit against the police. I don't answer any questions. Now, you saying that I'm being detained for a crime. Is that true? When police demand identification but cannot point to a specific law, the consequences may not stop at an argument. They can end up in a courtroom. As soon as the camera started rolling at a small gas station in Marion, North Carolina, what seemed like a simple test of civil rights quickly drew attention and a tense atmosphere began to form. But that was only the beginning. Now, her. Hey. What's your job? They're hiring at small work. See if they respect their rights, guys. I was just doing some maintenance out here or something. Get your propane refill. Can't hear you. Can't hear you. Can't hear you. Absolutely. Why not? Can't hear you. Well, well, what are you doing? Go make me a sandwich. Go make Go make me a sandwich. Shut up. Go make me a sandwich. She said, "Are you filming Don't film me." Yeah. She said, "Don't film me." They probably couldn't hear it, but that's what she said. Yeah, don't film me. And I'm not degrading women. I'm just trying to be funny. You know what I mean? Even if it was a guy that come out, I would say the same thing. "Hey, you going to make me a sandwich?" But it seems like a lot of these places a lot a lot of these places send the women out. Instead of sending the men out, the men have the women come out and say, "Go see what they doing." Don't ask me why. You know, it's crazy they do that. They say I guess they don't want to degrade them. So, why don't they come out here? There was a man just out here messing with the uh the the topsoil out here. I guess he's going to fix some plants or something. The camera kept recording every reaction as the filmer stood on a public sidewalk while uneasy stares continued to turn toward him. And just seconds after an officer approached, the very first question raised quickly escalated the encounter into a tense confrontation right there on the sidewalk. Can't hear you. I can't hear you, man. What's that? I probably do. What's your name? Oh, you wanted him. You wanted him right here, guys, huh? Yeah, you know what you know what I got for you right here. Here's this right here. I go back to work. Tyrant. Tyrant. That's all we got. 868. He's all cool and [ __ ] Yeah. What's up? No doubt, Jerry Lewis. I don't. See, at least you didn't come up say how you got out First things out of your mouth, bro, you got ID. What the hell was that? Oh, he was. First thing he come out of his mouth, not "How you guys doing? Beautiful day." "What's your ID? You got ID?" That's a tyrant right there. And then you ask him his name, he goes, "Right here." The hell is that, bro? That Yeah, that's unprofessional. You need to teach this one right here, then. Yeah, teach this little tyrant right here. Going back to work. Can't don't Can't even tell him his name. Yeah, can't even tell him his name. Going back to work, bro. Your boss man told him to go on somewhere. Tyrant. We'll just record, man. This jacko right here wants to come up act bad [ __ ] You ain't bad, man. Just cuz you got that that don't make you bad. You think it makes you bad, but it don't. Ah, we got it, man. Yeah, you need to school this little rookie right here. Well, he won't nice to him. He won't nice to him to ask us if we got ID right when he walked up, either. That wasn't nice of him. The back-and-forth began as the man filming argued that the request was unnecessary while the officer seemed unwilling to back down. And just as the situation risked escalating even further, another person suddenly appeared at the scene. Someone who could completely change the course of this confrontation. I come up here and ask him, "Hey, man, what y'all guys doing?" I guess I guess he ain't had the right training. I understand it, but it don't mean he can be a tyrant, though, does it? We can redress him cuz he needs it. Yeah. Yeah, talk Yeah, there you go. That's all Hey, if you do that, that's all we want. Yeah, I can't even I can't even I don't even know how to pronounce his name. No, we don't go inside, man. Ask her if they got a sandwich for you. I asked her to make me a sandwich, though. [ __ ] tyrant. Look at you. Piece of crap, dude. You're going to be famous now, you tyrant. Absolutely famous. You good with that, Lacy? You don't care, do you? Yeah. You're doing I can't even say I can't hear you from over there. No, you didn't. No, you I Okay. Y'all got ID is the first thing. Hey, that's the first thing we heard. "You got ID? You got ID?" Yeah. Well, next time get somewhere so I can hear you. You don't hear this traffic going by? Kind of hard to hear out here, ain't it? Oh, you're going to apologize now? You're going to apologize now? So, but why did you do that, though? Explain it to us. Cuz you can step up here to us, bro. We ain't going to hurt you. Hang on. Let's let's let's let's get what I didn't hear none of that, bro. Oh, see, you Hey, you can still have a cordial conversation with us. Yeah, he told he told his boss man told him to go on somewhere. Hey. You can't You can't talk your way out of this one, tyrant. I hope I hope the damn sergeant schools your ass on some stuff. Right. Going back to work. Yeah. Yeah, that was crazy, man. After a higher-ranking officer arrived and stepped in, the tense atmosphere gradually began to ease. But just when the conversation seemed to be coming to an end, another development unfolded behind the scenes, leaving many to wonder whether the situation was truly over. I usually don't give them out to cops unless they're pretty cordial, you know, and and There you go. Thank you. Exactly. That's the way it should be. But a lot of them put that badge on, bro, they think they're Billy badass. Here, I'll give you two of them. Thank you, buddy. Yep. So, we You'll see yourself on there. It might be a little while, but you'll see yourself. He's live by the He's live. Yeah. Hey, man. Yeah, hey, be good. And if you take care of his ass, I think everything will be all right. Hey, be safe out there. All right, he said he's going to school Yeah, he said he's going to school this rookie up, didn't he? They didn't get her sandwich out of here. They Y'all still here? Give me one. Can you hear me? Yeah, yeah. Audio 1 2 1 2 10-4. Am I 10-8? What's going on? They 10-8. Yeah, he he tried to weasel his way out of that, didn't he? "Oh, I didn't hear y'all. Oh, you didn't hear me. I did say it." [ __ ] You ain't said nothing. Yep. Tyrant. >> [clears throat] >> That's the classic That's the way it's supposed to be. Yep. Yep. Yep. He was all cool Yeah. You You see Hey. Job of shame for that one right there. 10-8. Old man got his services, I guess, here. train this rookie up. said he would talk to him. Whether he do or not, that's you know. Now that dude was trying to have a cordial conversation with this with the sergeant. The sergeant keyed him told him to get to his car. Yeah, he did. He said He said I heard I think I heard him say walk away. He didn't want him to make him look any worse than he already did. >> He tried to weasel his way out of it and and backtrack and say oh I did say hey. No you didn't. And even if he did I didn't hear that. >> He said it where his car was at. Like we going to hear him. As the police returned to their patrol car everything seemed to be over. But what had just happened still left many people wondering. Was it simply a misunderstanding? Or a lesson about civil rights and how the law should be enforced? Citizens may file lawsuits against police under section 1983 when their rights are violated. Officers who break the law can face financial liability, disciplinary action, or even termination. Up next, a man driving through a public parking lot while filming the police was suddenly pulled over by officers. But the very first question he asked immediately caught everyone's attention. What law did I violate? Hey hello sir. I I mean I was just driving by. So you were actually driving the car so I will need your driver's license, registration, and insurance please. May I reach inside without getting shot please? Yeah, go ahead. Don't shoot me now please. I was driving the car. What what violation did I do? You were driving in circles in the parking lot sir. So did you I got you on tape? Yes you were doing the driving around. Is that illegal? Is that illegal? Yeah, the driving around. Yes I will. But is it is that illegal? I'm not going to answer any questions. I'm asking you for your identification please. All right. Penal code section for driving in circles in a public parking lot. And if I don't will I be shot? If I don't will I be arrested? If I don't give you my driver's license and registration what will happen sir? Am I being detained for what crime sir ma'am? Uh what crime am I being detained for sir? Driving in a circle that's a crime? I'm fine. I have no qualms. I was I did not call you. And I am perfectly fine. I don't answer any questions. Now you saying that I'm being detained for a crime. Is that true? It's a traffic stop. Driving in circles in a parking lot is a traffic stop? The officers asked for his documents. But when he repeatedly requested that they point to a specific law the answers remained vague and unclear. The man wasn't refusing to cooperate but he wanted to know the legal basis for the stop. And that was the moment the conversation began to take a completely different turn. No, I don't understand why I got your attention. Oh, are you a were you in a uh concentration camp? I need your driver's license. I'm going to reach in now. I don't want to get shot. Go ahead. Don't worry. Go ahead. I worry. So on the ticket I want the penal code for driving in a circle in a parking lot. Huh? No, I want you or whoever's writing this to put the penal code. No, you. It's a It's a vehicle code. Then I want the vehicle code for driving in a circle in a parking lot. So this is a traffic stop? For driving in a circle? Then you have to go into your little book there and find that cuz there's no and I'm putting my hand in my pocket. Unless you want to search me I'm putting my hand in my pocket. Now if I get shot it's going to be a problem. I'm going to close the door. Huh? I'm going to close the door. Please step back. I don't want to bump into you and get charged with assault assaulting an officer. Are you telling me how to close my door? The other way or you want? I No I can't do anything I want. I can't leave on my own free will cuz you saying I'm being Instead of accepting a vague explanation he wanted a clear answer. What exact law was it? The atmosphere grew more tense as each of his questions seemed to put the officers in an increasingly uncomfortable position. And just minutes later as the conversation moved into its next phase the situation suddenly took a turn that even the officers may not have expected. I'm going to reach in and grab some paperwork. Okay. The man continued to remain calm but he kept asking about the legal basis for the stop. Meanwhile the officers seemed to shift their approach and the conversation slowly began moving in a different direction. But just minutes later an unexpected decision from the police made the entire situation even more confusing than before. You're not going to give me a ticket? Why? Why? Why? And are you in a concentration camp with that tattoo? Why aren't you giving me a ticket? You came up to me all threatening. Why were you Why were Why were you Why'd you pull me over? I wasn't driving recklessly. Now you're saying I was driving recklessly. First you said it was a Well then give me a ticket for reckless driving. Why? Why? I want a ticket because you guys pulled me over for something I can legally do. I was not I was doing 2 miles an hour in a parking lot doing circles. Name and ID number. Name and ID number. Name and ID number. Do you feel threatened right now as I approach you? Why? Or will I be shot or arrested for doing that? What's super close? Define super close. And what's that tattoo young lady? Were you in a concentration chap camp or are you a pseudo wanting to be a Jewish concentration camp victim? Have a nice day. [ __ ] Hey so why didn't they give you a ticket? Huh? Okay. That's it? No other reason? Nothing man. They just wanted to know who I was so cuz I was following them recording them. [ __ ] They all knew who I was. But And look, he's still got his little lights on. Freak. So they didn't get any They didn't say that you're homeless or sleeping here or parking the wrong way because you're backing in anything like that? Okay. After all the tense moments, the unexpected [music] finally happened. No ticket was written. No clear accusation was made. The traffic stop ended almost as abruptly as it began. When authority and civil [music] rights intersect, what matters most is calmness, mutual respect, and adherence to the law from both sides. Hey everyone, what do you think about this situation?
