You're wearing a black ski mask walking down Bridge Street. Do you understand why that's kind of strange? >> What crime did I commute? >> Okay. In Colorado, we're allowed to stop someone. No. If you have reasonable suspicion a crime, >> none of his business. I told him I worked there. You know, last night during my shift, uh, I got gas. And >> the encounter begins with a citizen walking down a public sidewalk in Titusville, Florida, wearing a ski mask in 50°ree weather, only to be stopped by police for no apparent crime. Colorado Revised Statutes Section 163103 permits a temporary stop only when an officer has reasonable suspicion based on specific and articulable facts that a person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime. The officer's justification wearing a ski mask in mild weather lacks any connection to a specific crime. As the citizen repeatedly points out, it's not illegal. This vague reasoning exposes the officer's overreach, prioritizing personal bias over legal standards. The citizens attempt to continue to an auto parts store is met with insistence on providing identification despite no evidence of wrongdoing, highlighting how some officers exploit their authority to harass rather than protect. Sir, excuse me. Come over here. Come over here. >> No. Come over here. I'm >> heading over here. >> What? >> I'm heading over here. >> Yeah. I want to talk to you real quick. Come on. >> You're wearing a black ski mask. It's 50° outside. Come over here. >> Walk this way. >> I'm going to the auto zone. >> Okay. You're not walking there now. You're going to talk to me. >> You got something to arrest me for? >> No, I've got reasonable suspicion to contact you. So, come over here. >> That's not reasonable suspicion. >> Yes, it is. No, I got a I got a lawsuit going in. >> Sure, we can work on a lawsuit. >> No, they jumped me, bro. I was walking from my mama's house and they jumped me. It's on YouTube. Bro, >> let me tell you why I'm stopping you, okay? Cuz it's 50° outside. You're clearly not cold cuz you're wearing a shirt. You're wearing a black ski mask walking down Bridge Street. You understand why that's kind of strange? >> That's not illegal, but I just want to figure out what's going on. >> Privacy, right? >> Sure. But it's also suspicious. and only being but it's only illegal if I'm being ignorant or or threatening to somebody. You understand? >> I didn't say it was illegal. I did not say it was illegal. I'm saying suspicious. That's what I >> Well, I don't want this contact. >> Okay. >> You're not free to go yet cuz I got a couple things I got to ask you. Okay. So, what's your name? >> You can put on there like uh you know, jolly fat citizen. >> No, not reasonable suspicion. >> I'm on my way. >> No, you're not going anywhere right now. >> Right here. >> Not right now. >> Yes, I am, bro. Call your superior. Not right now. I've got someone coming over to talk to me. So, let me explain. I need your name and your address and this is what you're doing. >> I'm going to I'm going to record this. >> Sure. It's all being recorded from me, too. >> All right. I'm going to get the footage. I got it from Titusville, Florida. You can look it up on YouTube. I'll show you. >> Want to look up? >> I'll show you this. >> Okay. So, what's your name? Do you have your ID on you by chance to make it easier? >> No, sir. >> Okay. >> No, you you understand? I'm going to show you the video. It's our news break as well. >> I mean, I don't really want to see the video. I mean, I I trust you, >> but I'm at to get a part for my vehicle. It's none of your business, but I'm on my way. >> Okay. So, the reason I'm stopping you is for reasonable suspicion. Okay. You have to suspect me of a crime. Why not just say or let me explain why that's suspicious because it's 50° outside. How you doing, sir? You're walking around with a mask on. You're walking down Bridge Avenue. You're clearly not cold because nothing wrong with a t-shirt public sidewalk. >> So what is being ignorant or or or or frightening to people? You know what I'm saying? So other than you know the whole the whole you're not allowed to wear a mask. >> Wear a mask. >> Then I'm fine. I'm just walking the public sidewalk to a store to buy. I just explain to you what I contact. >> I don't need to give you my name. You need to give me your name. Your address and what you're doing. your your your system asked you what was my name but you could put jolly fat citizen that's not doing anything you handcuff giving me your name I'm going to show you the video and type >> I don't want to see the video for you to put me a handcuff >> cuz you're not identifying >> you tell me what crime I committed >> I'm stopping you for reasonable suspicions you have to have a suspicion on crime for me to identify I looked up the Colorado um deal you have to suspect me of a crime suspect me of a crime from the I'm logged in from my vehicle that's down. >> I just told you that and that's all you need. I have no identify yourself. I >> I have to identify. I can tell you my first name. >> First and last name. >> First and last name. >> But that's not going to help you with a a crime that I haven't committed. >> Okay. >> You understand that? That how would that help you with a crime that I haven't committed? >> Okay, sir. At this point, I need your name, your address, and >> you're going to take me to jail, right? >> I mean, I don't want to put you in handcuffs. I don't need to. >> I think you all I want right now. I know, but I kind of like you you want the threatening portion of it, but you don't want to put me in jail cuz there's nothing to put me in jail. >> I don't want to even handle I'm going in my hand. >> I just need to contact suspicion. I just need your name and your address. >> This is the only way poor people can get money, man. You come snatch me up, take me to jail. >> I don't want to put you in handcuffs. >> Identify yourself with law enforcement >> for for what? Suspicion of what crime? Where's the camera I'm talking to? >> You got one? Okay. All right. A suspicion of what crime? I'm walking on the public sidewalk, right? And that's not a crime. And there's no no reason other than if I was threatening to somebody for you to worry about anything but my privacy. You I did it's not IDF. It is rarely defense force territory. You understand? >> The citizen asserts their right to privacy, refusing to provide a name or address without a clear crime being articulated. Yet the officer persists threatening handcuffs. Colorado Revised Statutes Section 16-3-103 3-1 allows officers to request identification during a lawful investigatory stop, but only if the stop is justified by reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, which is absent here. The officer's repeated demands for personal information despite admitting no crime was committed, violate this principle. This interaction underscores a pattern of ignorance among some law enforcement where constitutional protections are ignored in favor of control. I mean, I get it, but I'm just headed this way. Have not done anything wrong, right? I just walked on a sidewalk from my vehicle that is down and I'm trying to go fix it. I'm trying to go to the auto parts store. >> I've explained to you what I need from you. Are you going to give me your first and last name and your address or not? Are you going to give me that or not? >> Are you going to take me to jail? >> I don't want to take you to jail. All I want is your name, your address. >> I'm done. I'm I'm done cuz I'm I'm >> So you're not going to tell me who you are. >> I'm just trying to get I'm gonna get work done. >> Are you sure? You don't want to tell me your name? Like that's all I want to do and I can let you go if you tell me your name first. >> But that doesn't stop me from a crime that I haven't committed. That doesn't aid you in in identifying a crime. >> Okay. I'm going to identify you either way. Is this okay? Okay. You hit it by this way. >> Yeah, I'll head that way. >> Yeah, I got a supervisor. >> I do. He's not here. He's busy right now. >> Oh, okay. Can you get him on the phone? >> I want to know what's going on. If you want to talk to him, sure, I can do that. Sometimes you face my wheel right here. 61 code. Do you have anything on you? I need to like No, that's going to hurt me. Stick me up here. >> Uh, I got nothing like that. >> I got a tablet, a phone I'm using to look at the YouTube videos. How to fix my vehicle that I'm going to leave stranded cuz you taking me, kidnapping me, right? And uh I got I got vaporizers and that's it. No, I think I got money and probably I might got maybe my debit card on because it's illegal to be around here without currency, right? Y'all going to snatch me up? But it's it's not, you know, I have a screw driver that's uh you realize you're going to avoid I don't have an address. >> I have a name, but but why do I have to give it to? What crime did I committed? >> Okay. In Colorado, we're allowed to stop someone if we believe No. If you have reasonable suspicion that a crime, listen to me. Don't interrupt me. Tell me what don't interrupt me. I'll explain it to you. Okay? Just don't interrupt me. I'll explain it to you. Okay? So, in Colorado, we can stop someone if we have reasonable suspicion based on articulable circumstances that there has been, will be, or could be in the future a crime committed. So, based on Don't interrupt me. Let me keep going. Okay. Okay. So based on the articular reason of you're walking down Bridge Street with a ski mask on when it's not that cold. No, it's not illegal. But based on the fact that we have a high crime area right here on Bridge Street and you're wearing a ski mask, >> but I'm headed to fix my vehicle. You can't fix my vehicle. >> Just let me keep talking to me. I'll explain. I don't want to. You don't even know where your car is. >> You want to take me to jail, too? >> I don't want to take you to jail. >> Well, then why don't you leave me alone and let And you can investigate by looking at me go to my store. You can investigate by watching me go to my car. Your camera distance. >> You can investigate your name and your address. Watching me go. I don't have an address. You just read your phone. What if you said you're trans? This is you. >> Yes. I wouldn't have anything. So you have to realize >> you have to realize in our dayto-day we get this man because it's my right to privacy and I look like a bum and that's none of your business you So I none of you saw me or anything like that. >> I want to take your mask off there. >> Oh, why you taking my mask off? >> So I can see who you are. I'm looking at you in the back of my car, bro. I can hand your [ __ ] [ __ ] right here in the face, bro. I'm telling you on camera, man. They're literally kidnapping me. >> Please bring the supervisor. Y'all literally take this to, bro. I'm literally trying to fix my car, man. Crazy, man. I don't know none of my people's phone number. You going to give me my phone and give you whatever, man. What's your name? Officer. >> Yeah, man. >> Thanks for kidnapping me. Thanks for kidnapping me, sir. I appreciate it. >> Oh, sir. I appreciate it, man. For kidnapping me. The card just is a gift card. his name on it. So, >> okay, >> that's the best. >> Okay, let's look him up in here. We'll see if we can find anything else. >> Yeah, I'm going to go through It's John, right? Do you want to talk to my supervisor? He's right here, actually. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay, I'll go get him for you. Okay. We have got a debit card to try to identify. >> He doesn't want to talk to you, too. >> As the situation escalates, the officer arrests the citizen, placing them in handcuffs and into the patrol cruiser for refusing to identify despite no legal basis for such action. Colorado Revised Statute Section 163102 requires that an arrest be supported by probable cause of a crime and a stop alone does not justify handcuffing or detention without evidence of danger or flight risk. The officer deliberately muted the body cam while conspiring with the supervisor likely to hide their corrupt intentions during the encounter. The citizen now detained is questioned only after the supervisor they requested, Sergeant Morowski, arrives, reflecting a corrupt mindset where officers use arrest as intimidation to coers compliance rather than adhering to legal standards. The citizens plea to call your superior and assertion of being kidnapped highlight the fear and frustration caused by such tactics, revealing a systemic issue where power overshadows accountability. [Music] Get out of here. Okay. [Applause] Face this. The hangers off you. Okay. My helmet. Pretty sure I just Hey, I'm pretty sure I just saw you. Hold on. Okay. This is my supervisor, by the way. Sergeant Morowki. >> Hey, what's up, man? Is it John? John, I just ran your information. You're in a green Ranger parked over off of Miller. You were abandoning a car over at Walmart yesterday. >> Not yesterday. >> Yeah, I I stay in the back, >> right? But then today you were parked over there and now it's just parked over there off Miller, isn't it? >> You tell them what I told you. >> No, I don't. >> You want to get to the auto part store to fix it? >> Okay. All right. I work right here. Right there. >> Sounds good. Go ahead. just I told them that it's not illegal. There's no crime. You know what I'm saying? Just remember that, sir. I'm just saying. It's a tense thing you do, bro. You know, so many like three, four times the average manager, bro, around here. And nobody can't achieve anything more than being a manager a lot of times, you know, in life. >> Hey, hold on. Hold on. >> You turn up your mask, please. Thank you, sir. >> You know what the building is? That's the next door over here. >> Walking down to know every video. I'm not here to know every video that I'm walking upon going to from one point to another, sir. >> Literally last week, we had the exact same scenario. >> Your camera's on too, right? >> Yeah. All right. All right. I got this castle rock. Uh I was door dashing in Castle Rock. Uh their supervisor apologized to me, told me to make sure I I can still door dash there. that there's nothing wrong with having a mask in Titusville, Florida. I got it on YouTube, man. I was just walking from my mother's house with a radio and a backpack full of waters, and I was taken into custody, threatened with arrest with the same thing, man. But I'm on a public sidewalk. You know, they they tried to say I was standing down in the bushes, but the city hadn't hadn't cut the grass. So, when I was getting my water bottles and uh switching my radio, you know, it looked as it looked, you know. Fair enough. And I I totally get you, man. Hold on. I just don't want him I I when he's driving along and he's you're coming up on a two schools right here, like two two a middle school and a high school. >> It's not illegal. If I was a young person with with with religious points of views, y'all acting like the IDF doesn't help anybody, brother. You know what I'm saying? >> You're right. Sure, bro. and and and literally I spoke fluidly, you know, and I articulated what I was doing to a point that that I didn't need to. You know what I'm saying? But I got I got to tell you though, >> by the two schools, even schools, bro, >> even when you're walking here with the mask, that's one thing. But you're parked outside of a liquor store over there. I work at that in that building. Okay. I work in the I told you officer yesterday. Some guy with black hair underneath, a young man, black hair. Uh uh uh. Okay. He saw me and and and asked me questions that didn't need to be asked. Where do I live? None of his business. I told him I work there. You know, last night during my shift, uh I got gas and E85 and put it in my vehicle. My my my my troubles seem to, you know, follow me on a a public path to to to fix my [ __ ] And then now y'all jumping me and kidnapping me. You know what I'm saying? kidnapping one one >> detaining me for no reason is damn near kidnapping bro you know even if you would like to create try to create one a school a school in proximity of a school that's kind of ridiculous you know kind of to a point you can follow and investigate you would have saw me like I told you you would have saw me go there they would have saw me jog to my mother's house they would have saw me drink my water out of my backpack no gun the 911 call didn't even say I had a gun she just thought, "Oh, it's just suspicious, so I want to, you know, uh, I'd rather call in." And they're like, "Oh, it's better safe than sorry." And then told me I had a gun. I told them I have a gun. A 911 caller. It's all on YouTube. >> No, no. This is all right. It's tight as bill. Yeah. Yeah. It was And >> even if you suspected what you thought is the is right, that's not enough. I'm telling you, a call, an anonymous call is also not enough. You know what I mean? Uh this I I can't even walk a public road as I wish. I have to know a little something, you know. So, but you can about the time. No, you're fine. It's fine. You're very good. So, are you trying to get down to >> I'm trying to fix and move on before y'all can't give me no more, man. You need a ride. >> No, sir. I'm I'm going to hit this auto zone. See if they got whichever one. Okay. There's this one. There's a Napa halfway down the right as well. I had to do my drum breaks and uh and same scenario. That's why I thought it would be okay, man. >> Okay. >> You know that I'm just going to throw this out there. You you know that we we've now talked to you. >> You know somebody's going to keep calling us, right? >> You know, you know that you know they're going to keep calling us, right? >> Especially if you like you walk into AutoZone wearing a ski mask. Like you understand why that's like weird for them. They're like working. >> I I live like this, man. So, you know, I walked into O'Reilly's and everything like that, too. You know, I could put it down and be sociable. You know what I'm saying? And there's no problem with that. I understand. You know, but but but right here when it's You see how bright it is? The cameras will be able to see that the Eskimos, if you use this technology to be able to see far distance safely like this. You know what I'm saying? When the bright [ __ ] is out, you know? So, it's just it's too much, man. I don't have to tell y'all too much, man. I apologize for making y'all scared, but I'm really not a [ __ ] junkie trying to do nothing. You know what I'm saying? I appreciate that. I got a lot, man. >> There's a combination between seeing you outside the liquor store. I have no idea if you work there, but I'm tell when when you say there's no crime, what I what he can say is that based on the actions and it being so grossly disproportionate to >> because of the temperature, that's ridiculous. because of the temperature, you know, religious points of view and also medical reasons. We can cover up or not cover up depending on >> claiming either of those things. >> That's that's neither. I don't have to. That's that's a fact, right? >> Okay. >> All right, man. Thanks. Good luck. >> The arrival of the supervisor, Sergeant Morowski, doesn't change much as he justifies the arrest by citing the proximity to schools and a liquor store still without evidence of a crime. Colorado Revised Statutes Section 18 and 9120 prohibits wearing a mask with intent to harass, intimidate, or commit a crime. But the citizen's behavior walking to fix a vehicle, shows no such intent. This incident, like the citizen's prior documented encounter, exposes a culture of policing that targets individuals based on appearance rather than evidence, eroding public trust. The citizen's frustration, y'all jumping me and kidnapping me, reflects the broader impact of such encounters where marginalized individuals face harassment, though the citizen was later let go, underscoring the need for reform to address corrupt and ignorant policing practices.
