Stay back. >> I'm going in my house. >> Stay back. >> I'm going in. >> If you try and come past me, you're going to go on the ground face first. Do you understand me? >> Okay, AND THEN I'M GOING TO FILE A complaint against you. >> camera. >> Go get your camera, yes. I'm allowing you to do that, but you cannot walk in my house. >> There you go. >> Okay. Bye. I have three cops on me and I'm 15 years old. Cuz you guys intruded my house. >> Cuz you're a nuisance. >> So you were the one driving up and down the street on the motorcycle? >> Uh I was on my gas bicycle. >> Okay, that's gas-powered vehicle. You have to have a driver's license. >> Um no, you don't. Not when it's 50 cc and you have a permit for it. >> As Jack said, his bike riding behavior was not illegal, so the officers did not pursue it further. And his father Michael's firearm was legally purchased. [music] As under Utah law, any adult age 21 and older may carry a handgun openly or concealed without any permit required. So as long as Michael did not display the firearm in a threatening manner, there was no issue. And at [music] this point, the officers felt something was off, needing to find a suitable reason for invading private property. >> But I don't think there's any reason to try and write him a warning to get in the house. >> I'm going to arrest him for failure to obey a lawful command, resisting, uh disorderly. >> Yeah, disorderly. That's good cuz it got her attention, too. >> Yeah. >> Ultimately, Michael was arrested and charged with the misdemeanors of disobeying an order, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. But 4 days after the incident, the state prosecutor refused to press charges against him and transferred the case to a lower court. While that neighbor who initially saw Michael carrying a firearm also moved away from the town, unwilling to make any further appearances. At the same time, after an internal investigation, Park City Police found that the lead officer, Officer Rodriguez, violated [music] five department policies. While another officer, Sergeant Sorenson, violated three department policies. So all officers in the Park City Police Department were required to attend legal training. And Officer Rodriguez and Sergeant Sorenson also received criticism and corrective action. But neither of these two officers was willing to complete the required training. So, they were both fired by the department. Two years after the incident, Michael filed a lawsuit on behalf of his family against [music] the local government and police department, stating in his filing that both he and his son suffered from PTSD due to the incident, with his son now terrified whenever he sees officers. And he requested a written and verbal [music] apology from the government and police department while seeking over $1 million in damages. But [music] currently, the misdemeanor charges against Michael remain on hold. So, the court stayed the lawsuit filed by Michael and dismissed it in August 2024 on the grounds of a failure to update his address. While as for Michael's son, Jack, after turning [music] 18, he entered the University of Arizona to study law, preparing to defend his infringed rights. And also stated that he hopes to become an attorney in the future to seek justice through the law for people who have been treated unfairly.
