What does that mean? You're harassing me. I'm not harassing you. Yes, you are. You don't even know what that means. Yes, uh can you send some units over here, please? How does he I'm harassing him? Sergeant. Aaron, put this here. Yeah, well, this here is private property. >> Not where I'm standing, dude. >> Yes, it is. You got an ID on you? Let's go. Arrest me. A casual question turns into an ID hunt. Welcome to power enforcement instead of law enforcement. >> matter. Where do you live at? It It does matter. Well, you're in a neighborhood harassing a police officer. I'm not harassing. I'm not You just need to Arrest me. I'm not. Cuz I'm not This is This is a public street sign. Look at it. You're ridiculous. Police abusing their power on camera is basically digging their own career grave because this video could be their one-way ticket to court. A filmer notices a Miami PD sergeant's car sitting for a long time at Cochi Park and approaches just to check if the officer is okay, thinking he might have nodded off. But the cop inside reacts like he's just encountered his worst enemy. Sorry. You doing all right? You doing okay? You're working? Okay. Huh? Okay, I was trying to see if you were okay. I don't need you I'm not harassing you. I'm checking to see if you're okay. You what? I'm not harassing you. How How was asking Pardon? I'm not harassing you. Where do you live at? What a punk. Yeah, he's trying to say I'm harassing him. Yeah, look at that. What's the car number? 216 765. What's the What's the tag number? X B 5492 Yeah. Bro, immediately which is like why you harassing me? Ask me where I live Where you sleeping? Huh? No, he's sitting there texting on his phone. He's just sitting there texting on his phone. What up guys? This is what the police are wasting gas Huh? He got his dollars in that little sitting on the Yeah, they're going to Oh, you're going to hit me with a spotlight? It's a guy. It's an old white dude. We got flashlights to Really? Really? The tension keeps building like one more sentence and everything's about to explode. And then he pulls the classic move demanding ID, threatening an arrest, and dropping shady lines like you're about to find out. What started as a simple conversation instantly turns into a pressure tactic like he's hunting for any excuse to pin someone down on the spot. Yeah. Yo, this guy's crazy. [ __ ] What? Give me your ID. I'm not harassing you. You're harassing me. How am I harassing you? I'm going to show you right now. How am I harassing you? >> 11:30 You're going to find out. How am I harassing you? You're shining your light on a police car. You were sh- You just I was asking if you were okay. Why would you ask me that? I'm a police officer. Why you asking if I'm okay? Why I need you? Am I not allowed to ask if the police are okay? >> you ask me if I'm okay? 11:30 You're going to find out. He's sending me a couple of units here to 120 Park on 61. Am I not allowed to ask if a police officer is okay? >> to find out. I'm going to find out? You're going to find out. What does that mean? You're harassing me. >> I'm not harassing you. Yes, you are. You don't even know what Yes, uh can you come this way please? How am I harassing him? Sergeant. I literally asked if you were okay. >> to find out. You flashed your light in my car. You're harassing me. Is that something normal people do? Walk up to your car and flash lights in their car? I was asking if you Okay. >> Is that a normal people thing to do? I was asking if you were okay. What you got there? Let me see your IDs. No. Let me see your IDs. >> I don't have my ID on me. Okay, you need to get out of here then. You have ID you have to have ID in the streets of Florida. If we're free to go >> you have to have ID to be on the streets. to do. You need IDs so No, unless we committed a crime. Be quiet. No, not at all. Okay. You have to have ID. >> What's your name and badge? I don't have ID on me. Okay. Sergeant Jack, what's your name and >> What's your ID number? >> find out real soon. What's your ID number? You're going to find out real soon. What's your ID number? Look look what you're doing to this house right here. Why you care? Where you live at? What do you mean? >> Where do you live at? >> don't matter. Where do you live at? It It does matter. Where you're in a neighborhood harassing a police officer. I'm not harassing I literally was asking if you were okay. You're the one that escalated this. You're going to find out. Literally asked if you were okay. Okay. I'm okay. I'm working. Why wouldn't I be okay? >> Okay, well I was asking cuz I Why wouldn't I be okay? I'm working. Because I've seen you here for a while and I was just making sure you're okay. I'm in my zone. Why is it your business? Because I'm allowed to ask if you were okay. >> your business? Wow, I mean what is your problem, dude? >> to find out. Are you okay? The filmer stays within the line, no insults, no rushing in. Yet the situation keeps heating up like it's about to blow. Then someone steps in. The conversation shifts and for the first time you can clearly see something isn't right about the way this guy is handling it. I'm not harassing you. You're in the right place today. I'm not harassing you. >> Okay. Sir, you said >> I literally Okay, yeah you said I asked if you were okay. What did I ask you? I asked if you were okay. >> Okay, you're going to find out. You're harassing me. I literally asked if you were okay. Okay, where's your ID at? You're so smart. Where's your ID at? Huh? I don't have my ID. >> ID at? I don't have it on me. >> all your IDs or I'll take you out right now. I need your ID, sir. I need your ID. Literally, okay, real quick, can I talk to you real quick? I asked I don't have my ID on me. No, not to be on the streets. You should know that. You're recording, you should know that. Not to be on the streets, it's only for driving. Okay. Okay. Okay, listen. Can I talk to you, please? This guy is like freaking out. Okay, I asked him if he was okay. I was walking around. I noticed he's been sitting here for a while. I didn't know if sometimes people fall asleep. I wanted to make sure he was okay. I asked him. I all I did was turn my flashlight on cuz I was looking and he's like, "Why are you harassing me?" I said, "Are you okay?" And he was like, he was like, "What are you What are you doing?" I was like, "Are you okay?" I'm just checking to see if you're okay. And he starts freaking freaking out on us. He says, "You're going to find out. You're going to find out. You're going to find out." Starts threatening us. Literally just checking to make sure everything was okay. I I hope so. I I don't know. This guy is escalating it, man. Yeah. Yep. I don't have a flashlight, sir. I didn't break the law. I didn't break the law. I didn't break the law, sir. Nobody I'm on a public sidewalk filming. Filming a public Sir. Bro, literally, like, what is this Can I talk to I don't have a flashlight, sir. I don't have a flashlight. I don't have He has I have nothing to do with him. I'm my own person. What? Step back. Stop coming near my camera. I'm I didn't break a law. I have to break a law if you don't ID me. No. What amendment protects you? Why why is everyone coming at me? You'd think the new arrival would calm things down, but no. Every question, every attitude shift starts to feel more like an interrogation than a normal conversation. And in the next part, you'll see the filmer hold his ground so hard that the situation turns dangerous in a way that'll have everyone watching holding their breath. I shone a flashlight to see if he was okay, but I was trying to see if there was somebody in the car or what was going on, like Can I talk to you? So I've been walking around for a while and I noticed that he's been sitting here for a while and he's been sitting in the same spot he's been sitting in the same spot after like a while, so I came over, I was standing right here and I couldn't see anything and I was like, well, I don't know if there's anybody in the car, so I shined my flashlight just to see what was going on. He rolled his window down and he was like, "Why are you harassing me?" I said, "Are you okay?" He's like, "Why are you harassing me?" Like I'm just checking to see if you're okay, man. I just noticed you were sitting here. Well, you're just harassing me and it escalated this, called you guys code three, all that. Dude, there is no reason for this. You know he's taping a video. Well, yeah, but I'm just trying to make sure you're okay. I mean Yeah, but I'm just asking if you're okay. Do you have anything better to do? Literally just checking to see. You're harassing me. So This guy is flashing his light in my car. He needs to go harass you. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm not talking to you. I'm not talking to you. I'm going around, just checking things out. Neighborhood patrol. Checking on things. Shining a flashlight is not illegal. If you come to my window, then it is. It's not illegal. >> you to come and harass me? I'm not har- Why are you Why are you fixating on the fact that I'm trying to harass you? He light in my car for no no reason. Yeah, you do, probably. >> No, I don't. Not for no reason. I get sent there. Okay. You don't You don't ever walk around. You literally just shone a flashlight into these people's houses. What are you talking about? Is it illegal to [ __ ] around with a flashlight? Who are you to do that? You're not a police officer. >> I'm I'm a concerned citizen. Okay, and I'm working. Okay, and I was checking to make sure you are okay. So, why don't you calm down with the attitude because I've been polite with you. You don't even know that. You don't even know that. I don't have to identify myself. 901.151 states I do not have to identify myself. I am done talking. >> You are arresting me. Go 10-8, dude. Go 10-8. I am done with you. You need to go 10-8, man. I know that. I know who they are. I know exactly who You don't know who you are dealing with. You came up to my car putting your light in my car. I was standing right there on the sidewalk, so good luck, bro. I was standing right there on the sidewalk. But just when the tension is so high that one wrong word could set it all off, something unexpected happens. Everything starts to shift and someone steps in to handle it in a way the sergeant clearly didn't want. So, who's staying calm and who's humiliating themselves in real time? Officer's a bad name, dude. You're a punk. Yes. No, because you're antagonizing me. You are the one that freaking set off on us. You came here to bother me in my job. >> That's ridiculous, bro. >> I'm working. Why are you here? Because you've been sitting here for a while. You've been sitting here for a while and I'm I'm wondering to make sure you are okay. You've been sitting here for a while and I'm wondering to make sure you are okay. Why are you here? Officer, save your I was trying to make sure you were okay. No, okay, cool. I'm Officer I'm advising you of your rights. You never caught your name. I know you want to identify yourself. You are not detained. You can walk off at any point, okay? Okay, cool. Thank you, sir. Hey, by the way, hey, sir. Thank you very much for your professionalism, man. I'll give you a fist bump, man. Holy crap, bro. What a punk. That was ridiculous, man. Absolutely ridiculous. Yo, let's go. We're not being detained. They just said that we're not being detained. You got 2142204. You got 213232. I'm sorry about that. This guy literally He Yeah, he's literally been sitting out here for a while, man. He's been sitting here for a while not doing anything. I went to go check and make sure he was okay and he starts going off. When even the people on his own side start backing off, it becomes a real walk of shame moment. The loudest, most aggressive one ends up being the first guy to get pulled back. Up next, the police show up and one simple, seemingly harmless question is enough to turn an independent news shoot into a scene stretched tight with tension. Police are on scene. Here we go. Is he going to block the road? How are you doing, man? I'm good, man. Just getting some pictures. Pictures? Yeah. Come on. I'm just working on a little news story. Huh? I'm just working on a little news story. News story about About the health and food industry and stuff, yeah. Okay. That's all. You work for a company or No, I'm just independent. Trying to get my own thing going. Okay. I just had someone call in saying you were walking around with a camera, that's all. I'm sure. I'm surprised no one even came out, so I'm surprised. Usually they'll come out and harass me for a little bit before they call you guys. But >> turn around. They might, yeah, I don't know, so. Okay. All right. You're good, man. What's your name? I'm not giving any ID today. No ID? Nah, you're good, man. All right. Appreciate it, man. What was your name? Officer Lee. Lee, thank you, sir. Stay safe. Don't get hit by another car. I I try to wear it as best, man. It helps out a little bit. Keep going. What, did Lee not do a good enough job? What's that? Did Lee already responded out here? You can't be on private property video taping. What's that sticker say on it? Yeah, that's the department The cops arrive, ask a few casual questions, and the vibe still feels pretty calm. The filmer even thinks it'll all wrap up quickly. But right when it seems like it's over, everything changes in an instant. Another officer shows up with a completely different attitude. I don't put this here. Yeah, well, this here is private property. Not where I'm standing, dude. >> Yes, it is. You got an ID on you? Let's go. Arrest me. I'm telling you just to exit >> Arrest me. I'm not cuz I'm not This is This is the public street sign. Look at it. You're ridiculous. Lee was perfect. You just ruined it for you guys. You just ruined it. Garvey, do you have a badge number? Yeah, 0142. Why did you ruin it? You got an ID >> Lee was I'm not giving it to you. I'm not trespassing. You're on private property, buddy. This is a street sign. Yeah, well, we're not playing >> It's public property. Don't play I don't want to play it either. Arrest me. >> I'm asking you to provide identification. Come on. I'm not going to resist you at all. I'm not giving it to you. I'll give it to you at the station. I want you to do I want you to take it all the way. You think you're a bully, then let's take it all the way. >> a bully. I'm seeing what you're doing. You're on private property. >> told Lee what I was doing. Well, you told I'm not on private property. You need to go look at the map. Well, I'm telling you you're on private property. How do you know? This is the road. That's the land. That's private property. There's you know there's thing called an easement, right? Cuz I don't have to walk in the street. I can walk here. That's why these signs are here. You're on private property video taping. You hear this, dude? What's that? You hear this, dude? You were perfect. Why is he going got it for you guys? He's not ruining nothing. You weren't on the property earlier and now you are. I was in the same exact spot. No, you were down the street at Do you know what this is? What's that? A street sign. Uh-huh. They can't put their street signs on Amick Farms property. Okay. So, this cannot be Amick Farms property because there is a Maryland sign here. Come on, dude. Come on, Garvey. I'm not going to give it to you. I'll go. That's fine. You got anything on you? Uh, not really, no. I got a phone and keys and a water bottle. This is ridiculous, guys. You guys are a joke. The filmer stays in one spot, but the other side keeps getting harsher, pushing harder and harder to make it look like there's something going on. The conversation turns into nitpicking every word, drilling into his identity, and it feels like they're trying to turn a small moment into a big enough excuse to act. They don't stick it on other people's property. The plant manager out here tell you that you're on his property? >> the property lines. He's got no idea Why are you listening to them? You're the police. Yeah, I know. You don't know. Clearly, you have no idea. I'm not on their property. Buddy. So, you want me to stand in the street and get it take it for That's their property, too, then. That's a public road right there. That's a road. So is this. You're not on the road. You're on the grass. >> Oh my god. You are ridiculous, Garvey. You want me to go on the other side of the street? I'm going to ask you one more time for your name. I'm not giving it. I'll move. You have a lawful order to give me your name. If you ask me to leave, I'm going to leave. >> I gave you a lawful order to give me your name. So, what is your name? Oh my god. I guess I'm going to jail today. That's fine. What is your name? >> I'm going to jail. It's fine. Let's go. I'm not giving it. I'm not trespassing. You can't arrest me for trespassing cuz I'm not trespassing. This is not their property. It's not Whose property is it? It's It's an easement. This is county property, city property. It's city property. I do know. Well, know if it's a county It it looks like a county road sign to me, but that's the junction for the road up there. That's why there's light poles here. They don't own the electric company. Come on, Garvey. There's a public easement. It's probably 33 ft from the center line of the road or 18. One of those guys are you? Well, it's just facts. It's facts that there's an easement for people to walk down the street. It's facts. You're not in the street. I don't want to be in the street cuz I can get hit by a car in the street. That's why there's an easement so I don't get hit. I'm not. I'm not. Then what are you doing? >> You think I'm on their property, Lee? Yes. Then why don't you do something then? Cuz you were you were down there at the end of the street. Wasn't their property down there? How? They own the whole thing over there. They have the whole yard. I was right there. >> You don't know the property lines, too? Well, I know where the easements are. There's an easement here. This is not their property. This is their property. What's your name? I just want to go to jail, man. You want to go to jail? I guess. Yeah, cuz this is just getting bad. Cuz there's no way There's no way that this is their property. Yeah, it is their property. >> How do they own up to the street? There's a There's a gas line in the road. They own the gas line under the road? >> a house? What does it matter? Do you own a house? It doesn't matter. It doesn't? Not to me, no. This has nothing to do with my house. >> line runs right to the road, doesn't it? Does it or But there's a sidewalk there that people are allowed to use. That's a sidewalk. This isn't a sidewalk. Well, there is no sidewalk. It's the same idea. Just because there isn't a paved piece of concrete here doesn't mean the same rules don't apply. It's no longer a warning or an explanation. It turns into non-stop pressure in one direction. Give your name, follow orders, and admit you're wrong. And when power gets its ego bruised, you see just how terrifying it can become. Then comes the moment it crosses from arguing into something much bigger. A single decision that can change the entire story. Well, what are you doing? So, you're going to take me for failure to ID? Yeah, we're going to take Well, what law am I breaking? Failure to obey a lawful order. I've given you told you to give me your name. >> Maryland is not a stop and ID state, Garvey. You have to accuse me of a crime. That's the Fourth Amendment, just flat out. >> trespassing. >> You even said I'm not trespassing. No, I said I'm not locking you up right now for trespassing. Why? I just said to. This is ridiculous. Look, I'm trying to be easy with you here. Give me your name. I don't want I just want to take my pictures and go. I'm not trying to trespass. I'm not trying to do anything. Yeah, take it. It's a [ __ ] news story. This is Do you ever heard of free press? Yeah, I've heard of free press. Bang, thank you. That helps set me up a lot if this gets ugly. That helps me out a lot. >> not what your business card says. It does. It's investigative journalist. Journalism is press. And it does say on there it's free press needs to stay free. You didn't even You didn't even read it. You won't let me leave? >> No. You're going to probably go through my pockets in a few minutes anyway, so Right? Is that what we're going to, Garvey? Huh? No, I'm just trying to be nice with you and reasonable with you, but you want to be ignorant about it and I >> I don't want to be ignorant. I want to have my rights respected. Uh-huh. I'm out here Huh? Yeah, you are. You're trying to get my ID and violate my Fourth Amendment. >> I have every property. I wasn't. I wasn't. Then let's go for trespassing. >> All right, well, turn around. Oh my god, Garvey. So, are you going to give me your name now or not? >> Well, I'll just wait until we get in there. Let's see what your supervisor says something about this. >> You're the supervisor? At this point, it's no longer a conversation. It feels like walking straight into a trap that was already set. Just for standing in the right place and filming legally, everything gets treated like a major crime just happened. And then the situation takes a turn that'll have everyone holding their breath. Because now they're not just trying to talk it out. They're about to make it real. All right, I don't want to be on their property, man. I'm escorting you. Oh, so it's legal now. All right, walk around on the sidewalk. Watch your head. Yeah, yeah, I know. Watch your head, man. How do I get this off without breaking it? Twist those handles there, those black ones, loosen them, and then you can move it and it'll go down. And then just tie them back up, and then it won't move. And you can just leave it, just put it just like that. That's fine with me. Watch your head, man. Wow, you guys are something else. I'm trying to get your information. You guys are something else, Lee. You were so cool. I I was giving you guys a pass. Giving us a pass, huh? Well, yeah, you guys were great. You came out here, responded to their call for crybaby call crybaby call for someone taking pictures. You came out, addressed the situation, and left. I didn't want to give you my name, and you were perfectly fine with it. That was perfect, textbook police work. No laws being broken. You don't do anything. You address the situation and get out. But, for some reason, Garvey uh had it out for me. I don't have to. That's the whole point. What do you think this is? It doesn't work like that. If you're not breaking the law, I don't have to give you any information. It's not how it works. It's And this is the ending that leaves you both angry and shocked. What should have been a minor situation gets pushed way too far just because of ego and stubbornness. Citizens can sue police under Section 1983 when their rights are violated, and officers who break the law can end up paying damages and facing discipline or even termination. In a civilized society, the most dangerous thing isn't the presence of police. It's the moment power gets used in the wrong way. Hey everyone. What do you think about this situation?
