of their vehicle. >> How many places? >> Not legally parked in a parking space on private property. >> So you do the same thing in the middle of the night. >> We do the same thing 24/7. >> Arguing this call. >> Will you comply with the field soiety or not? >> For what? >> Call. >> Yes. Yes or no? >> Do you remember me, don't you? >> No. Yes or no? >> In a disturbing encounter in Prior, Oklahoma, Andrew Martin was targeted by Officer Bennett for simply taking a nap in his truck. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, stating, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated." Despite Officer Bennett's own radio dispatch admitting, "Truck isn't in the road at all." He proceeded to lie for 45 minutes, claiming the vehicle was obstructing the roadway as justification for an intoxication investigation. This fabrication reveals a blatant misuse of authority, as no probable cause existed to detain Andrew. His drooling while asleep was spun into a false narrative of intoxication, violating his right to be free from baseless police intrusion. >> Okay, you might start master this way. This guy doesn't look like he's alert. How you doing? Not bad. You okay? >> Not bad. So, what's going on? Just sitting in your truck. Okay. You got anything to drink today? No. You got any kind of medication or anything? Where you coming from? Okay. What are you doing here? What are you doing in prior? What brings you here? Where you headed? North. Do you know anybody in Prior or you just happen to Well, I mean, you're kind of pulled off here in this parking lot. A little bit weird. You're a little bit in the roadway. So, somebody called somebody called in on you. Is there a crime? I mean, now standing in the roadway. That's what that's what the technical term is for it. Heat. Heat. Yeah. >> So, I get here and I mean, you're you're drooling all over yourself. I I started medical. I knocked on your window a couple times. Look at your shirt. Okay. So, I started medical because I come up here and you're whenever I got here, you were actively drooling on yourself. And I knocked on the window. I got no response. So, I knocked again. I mean, so the crime of that is you're partially obstructing the roadway. You're pulled off here on private property. You have no business being here. So that's loitering. Somebody called me. I don't know who called me. Dispatch is the one who called me. Somebody called dispatch. Doesn't matter. It's private property and you have no business here. Well, I've asked you and you haven't told me. So, well, I'm investigating a possible crime. So, if you're intoxicated, passed out behind the wheel. If you're taking something, yeah, like I said, you're partially obstructing the roadway. You're asleep in your vehicle, which is okay. I don't have a problem with that. If you're just if you're just taking a If you want to play the Why don't you go ahead and step out of the vehicle for me? >> Yes, sir. Appreciate it, dude. If you want to, it's up to you. You want to leave the door open or you want to shut it? It's up to you again. You have identification on you. >> You do not. >> So, what is your name and date of birth? A and D. Ru 98. >> So where's the where's >> what's your date of what's your date of birth one more time here? >> What's your date of birth one more time? >> 18 1980. So So this is the road here. >> Yeah. I mean >> or is this the road? So the city maintains the roadway all the way to here and then they have an easement over here and then that's private property. So if you're on private property, you have you have private property that you have no business being on >> and then you're and then you're partially in the roadway. >> Where the ement begin? >> Say it again. >> The ement begin. >> The easement begin? >> Yeah. >> I don't know where the ement begins. >> Begin or ends. >> I know where the road begins and ends. I don't know where the easement begins and ends. road. >> So, do you have a driver's license in any state? >> Oh, yeah. >> What state do you have your driver's license in? >> Oklahoma. >> Oklahoma. >> Do you know where the road is? >> Really? >> It's a weird question. Not when I'm being ticketed for you. Haven't been ticketed for anything. I've tried to ask you a matter of simple questions so I can tuck my investigation. All you want to do is be difficult. >> I don't want to be difficult. You're being difficult. I was minding my own business and you're bothering me. I don't know how that's me being difficult. >> We wouldn't have showed up here if we didn't have a call here. So on you. >> Well, that first of all, that's not true. >> I can So I can call on you and that that doesn't mean that someone's going to come and investigate you. >> Yes, it does. >> Okay. It's exactly how this works. >> Well, if I can investigate it cuz he told me that >> you're good. Whatever you need to do, I'll be right back. All right, Mr. Martin. So, the condition that you were in when I got here, like I said, you were pulled off the road here asleep. Looks like Do you live at Meet Trace Apartments? No. You >> don't live there anymore? It's the address that shows on your driver's license. >> Where do you live? >> Nearby. >> Nearby. The >> address. It is. That's I'm literally I'm asking you because you're sleeping in your truck right here and I don't know that you're going to be safe to drive anywhere. So, yeah, it's absolutely >> How would I know? So, am I safe to drive my drive to Portland? >> What's your address? >> I don't know what the address is. >> It's going to be like this the whole time. >> Yeah. >> So, you going to you can continue to obstruct our >> So, here's the thing. I can I can leave you and let you >> comply with your investigation. >> You're not required to comply with our investigation. >> I don't have to assist you. >> I mean, you have to answer our questions if if we're conducting an investigation. Otherwise Otherwise, you're obstructing our investigation. >> Really? Is that the first? >> Do you know your amendments? >> I don't think you do. >> Okay. So, I can put you through a couple standard fields so Friday tests and see if you're good to good to drive. And if you are, then we'll get out of here and we'll let you drive. Okay? And we won't ask you any more questions. >> Sitting in a vehicle >> uh for yeah, somebody calling in because they were concerned about you uh because you were partially on the roadway. We're a lot closer to harassment than we are. >> We can go to the jail and we can do this in front of a we can have that conversation there. If that's what you want to do, >> that's absolutely fine. >> I don't want to do that. If I wanted to do that, I would have driven to >> I don't want to do that either. If I wanted to do that, >> driven to a parking space. You see the difference? >> I mean, if I wanted to arrest you, then a parking space. >> There actually is a law against sleeping in public. >> Really? Yeah. >> Public or on my own private park? >> If you're at the park, like you just said, >> I didn't say in the park. >> Maybe. I said a parking space. >> Okay. Still public public access. So >> do you you live in these apartments? >> Do you do you live in these apartments? >> Do you? >> No, I don't live in these apartments. Do you? I answered your question. You going to answer mine? >> You're giving me a ticket for being in the road. >> Have I given you a ticket? >> Investigating. No, cuz you can't for being in the roadway. >> Well, you told me. Well, I mean, you could, but >> I give you a ticket for I could I mean, I could pick for being in the roadway or loitering because you're on private property that you claim to have no business being. >> I'm sure that I can go in front of a judge and argue and be fairly uh successful rather quickly and easily by uh >> and that's fine. If you want to go and argue your case in court, >> if you want to go argue your case in court, that's fine. But I'm not going to argue it with you here on the side of the road. Okay? So you are you going to give me a ticket for being unsafe when I told when I told you exactly what I did which is >> he's going to conduct a couple of tests field sobriety test are you willing to >> are you willing are you willing to comply with some field sobriety test >> what are my op options go to jail willing to comply with a field sobriety test threatening you at all >> nobody's threatening you >> I'm here to do my job so I don't ask you to go >> No you're not ready to go conducting our investigation if you allow me to finish conducting my investigation and You will. >> So here's what I don't understand. I'm not refusing [ __ ] >> Okay. Okay. >> So you'll agree to take the safe step. >> What I don't understand is what indication that I'm intoxicated. >> I've given at any point in this other than I sleep. >> Is that against the law? >> It's uncommon at 3:00 in the afternoon for somebody to be asleep behind the wheel of their vehicle. >> How many not legally parked in a parking space on private property? >> So you do the same thing in the middle of the night. Okay, we do the same thing 24/7 arguing this call. >> Will you comply with the field sobriety test or not? >> For what? >> For the flood. >> Yes. Yes or no? >> Do you remember me, don't you? >> No. Yes or no? >> You do. >> Okay. Now I feel like this is harassment. Is there a supervisor available? >> I'm supervisor. >> He is the supervisor. >> I am the supervisor. >> We had this same conversation. Was that you? Were you there? >> I don't believe so. I don't believe I've ever met you before. >> I don't even know where I would have met you. So, yes or no? Yes or no? See, we had we >> Yes or no? >> You didn't understand what private property was when you were in an apartment complex, but that was public property. Do you remember that now? >> You complex? >> No, he doesn't. I I'm familiar. >> So, I think we should just go to Maze County Jail. >> I'm going to go to the county jail for obstruction at this point. >> All you want to do is sit and argue. >> I'm not arguing. >> He was intoxicated then. >> No, I wasn't. >> And that's what I feel like. He's intoxicated now. Otherwise, he wouldn't be passed out behind the wheel of his vehicle. >> I wasn't passed out. I was asleep. That's why I woke up with a knob. >> Andrew's arrest for obstruction stemmed from his refusal to comply with an unwarranted investigation highlighting a retaliatory abuse of power. Under Oklahoma law 21 section 540, obstruction requires willfully delaying or obstructing a public officer in the discharge of any duty. But Andrew's insistence on his rights and questioning the officer's claims do not meet this threshold. His inquiries about the easement and road boundaries were met with vague responses, and his request for a supervisor was dismissed despite no legal obligation to answer every question. The charge was a clear tactic to punish Andrew for asserting his rights. A gross overreach that turned a lawful nap into a criminalized act. >> I drove to this parking space. >> I'd like to speak to a supervisor. >> He is. >> You are speaking to a supervisor. >> Be your supervisor. >> They're all out right now. >> That's weird. That happens every time I want to speak to a supervisor. There is >> There's one supervisor assigned supervisor and he's right here. >> There's one supervisor. There's one supervisor assigned per shift. Okay, that's me. Okay. So then at 6:00 this afternoon, there will be a different supervisor violating people's law. >> I mean, >> that's a conversation you can have with the >> You don't have a constitutional right to speak to a supervisor anyway. >> Okay. >> Right under your phone. >> No, no, no. >> I am trying to work with you here. We've tried we tried to ask you you don't have a ticket in your hand. >> Okay. So am I free to >> No, you've been asked if you will comply >> for sitting in the car taking it up when I told you I'm taking a nap because I'm too tired to drive. A little bit further to go and I was tired >> and you won't even tell me how far that is to go to say you should keep on going. Pull over somewhere safe to sleep. >> Somewhere safe to sleep. I mean I don't think that that's where somewhere safe >> I mean legally parked. We can argue that even though this isn't isn't >> we've gone over this and over this and over this. You're not even in a parking spot at all. >> Not either. >> You're not in a parking spot. We got called here because of you specifically in this truck specifically. >> I am not in the road. >> You are in the easement. Look, if you look at that sign right there, it's still city property. >> Turn around. >> Yeah. Turn around. >> Turn around. We're done. We tried. We tried. We tried. >> You tried what? >> You tried >> to reason with you and you're unreasonable. >> Reason with me. >> It's hard to reason with somebody who's intoxicated anyway. So that makes sense. >> No indication. Well, >> we're trying to give you the opportunity to show us that you're not intoxicated and you just want to sit here and argue with us. Like I said, I'm not going to argue with you on the side of the road. We'll just >> You're making zero, but I'm not. You can't tell me where the road is on circle. >> That's what you pulled me out. >> Do you have anything illegal on anything that's going to poke, stick, or stab me? Anything's going to be illegal. Consider contraband if you take it into a jail facility. You can't >> I'm giving you the opportunity because once we get into the jail, they're going to search you and it will be a felony charge. >> You have to. I don't have anything. >> Okay, that's your opportunity. So, if there is something, then we find it in the jail and it'll be a felony. Well, you're not wrong about that. >> You have anything in the vehicle you want to take with you in the middle of [ __ ] moving. Have a seat right here. Be careful. Don't make your nail on the computer mounted. Pretty bad. I hate this. I don't disagree with you. >> What? What's the charge? >> Obstruction. >> Obstructing me of what? >> Obstructing me in the performance of my duties. >> What was my duty? >> I'm trying to perform an investigation here and you won't answer any of my questions. >> You answered every question you asked me. Okay. >> What question did I ask? >> You answer You didn't answer any of my questions. You just asked more questions and why I needed to know and I tried to explain it to you. >> So, we'll argue about it in court. That's fine. Will >> um tow it and I'll inventory it. ask somebody here if it's fair to say. I mean, it's partially in the in the >> partially in the Yeah. So, >> yeah. >> Um, I'll have meet you over there. >> Okay. >> Officer Flood escalated the violation by referencing a 2-year-old interaction to justify Andrew's arrest, falsely claiming an indicated prior intoxication. The fifth amendment protects against self-inccrimination and ensures due process stating no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law using a past unrelated encounter where Andrew was not intoxicated as evidence is a flagrant violation of due process. Flood's history of mistaking private apartments for public property and alleged First Amendment violations further exposes a pattern of incompetence and rights abuses, tainting the legitimacy of this arrest. You have been arrested and you are requested to submit to a test or test to determine the presence and/or concentration of intoxicants in your body. The test will be a blood test. The blood test is performed. It will be done by approved medical personnel under Oklahoma law. If you complete the state's test, you may have an additional test at your own expense. You are not entitled to consult with an attorney prior to making your decision to submit to the state's test. You may refuse the state's test, but as a consequence, your driving privileges will be revoked or denied. If you are 21 years of age or older and the test is 008 or more alcohol concentration, your driving privileges will be revoked or denied. If you are age 21, if you're under age 21 and the test result is 02 or more alcohol concentration, your driving privileges will be revoked or denied. Will you take the states test? It's going to be a blood test. >> It's going to be what? >> A blood test? >> I don't I don't understand. >> I can't talk to him attorney. >> That's correct. This is the implied consent test. >> I see what it says. Well, first of all, this is a real first of all. >> I didn't do anything wrong. You know, I'm not intoxicated. >> I don't know that you're not intoxicated. >> Okay. You have the option to submit to the state's test. I can read it to you again if you would like for more clarification. It's going to be a blood test. It >> doesn't really clarify. I mean, what what This is the state law and this is what I'm required to read. >> I understand. >> Okay. And you have you have the right to say that you will or you will not. >> I'll read it again if you'd like to hear it again. So what are what driving? >> If you refuse >> until when that's what I'm until you go through until you go through the court process and they determine this is [ __ ] Well, you've been arrested. >> Okay. >> Well, I I don't believe >> I don't I don't think that you're I don't I don't feel that you're drinking alcohol, but I think you're under the influence of something. I'm >> really down there [ __ ] slamming heroin halfway between my house and home or my house at home. >> Some kind of drugs, pills, something >> [ __ ] >> So, >> I was under the influence of owning a business and working more often than I [ __ ] sleep and build a goddamn business. Okay. You want me to read this test again? Are you you will not take the safe test? Okay. 36 would log down at this time. It says has refused to take the safe test. >> All right. Go ahead. >> Thank you. It's not as hot as it was yesterday, but it's pretty hot. I called it so my city here. >> Mr. Martin, are you a member of a tribe? Are >> you a member of any tribe? No, he's not. He says no. A CPC um and construction Are you right with that hand? Shoot the other. So you can you can do this. My dad's the exact opposite. He does everything. That's crazy. Wish I could use both my hands. This was just here. Heat. >> How tall are you, Andrew? Five. What? About how much do you weigh? What's your eye color? You know your social. What is that? What state you want in I can print it on my car. one off or whatever. I've got regular just here and ask him only inside. Hi, how are you? Pretty good. Are you home? Andrew, what's your address? 65. The officer's insistence on a blood test, coupled with threats of jail and license revocation, was coercive and lacked legal grounding. Oklahoma's implied consent law 470os section 751 requires reasonable suspicion of intoxication for a test demand yet the officer saying I don't feel that you're drinking alcohol but I think you're under the influence of something shows no specific evidence only speculation's refusal led to an obstruction charge but all charges were ultimately dismissed confirming the arrest's illegality this incident coupled with a looming civil rights lawsuit underscores a systemic issue of corrupt policing where officers exploit avoid vague laws to harass and intimidate only to face accountability when their actions are exposed.
