Okay. Just go ahead and take take all your gear off, okay? This is freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly under the Constitution. You have every right to be here. People fought and died for the right to do this. You guys are disgusting. Shame on you. Shame on you. Anything in the car? You got a weapon there or anything? No. Off duty. I'm not carrying. Okay. Service weapon is in in my uh will stay at home. Okay. All right, stay right there. Okay. Every police officer's career starts with ambition, pride, and the goal to make a difference. But, some rookies let poor judgment, ego, or temptation take control, leading to bad decisions that change everything. And when police officers cross the line, we see what happens when rookie cops destroy their promising careers. All you have to say is I'll arrest you if you don't provide an ID, and I'll give you my ID. >> Well, you're not giving me your ID after I asked multiple times, so come on. I'll give it to you. I said on camera, all you have to do is say you'll arrest me, and I'll give you my ID. On February 14th, 2023, in Arkansas, police officers were dispatched to a post office after employees complained that they had asked a man who had been filming in the lobby to leave. But, little did the officers know that they would be the ones placed under the microscope. Hey. My name is Officer Antone, Conway Police Department. What's going on today? Oh, I I just went in to buy stamps. Uh the rules on the wall say I'm allowed to film in the lobby there. That's all I'm doing. Okay. >> purposely not filming any customers. Purposely not even pointing it at them. Okay. >> Pointing at the signs on the walls. The only person I pointed at uh was him when he came out to tell me I'm not allowed to be in there filming. So, I tried to just show him the the rules on the wall that says I am, but he didn't want to read them. Didn't even want to talk to me. I said, "Hey, maybe I'm just interpreting them wrong." Nope, calling the police. Okay. I said, "Cool. Call the police. You guys are always You guys are always awesome, so I'm not even worried." I just came outside to wait for you. All right. So, if you'll give me just 1 second to get their side of the story, we'll be right with you, okay? The man was performing a First Amendment audit. That's where you record public officials in public spaces to test whether they respect your right to film. Although audit-style filming is technically legal, without permission it often leads to confrontation and can result in being asked to leave. In short, it's an extremely gray area that must be handled with care. He's in there filming the the customers. He's filming the lobby. I asked I came out there. I asked him to quit filming. I asked him to leave the premises. He refused. Okay. And so, I'm now asking you to escort him off the premises. Okay. I mean, this is by law it's it's a federal place of business. If we if I ask him to leave, he's supposed to leave. Right. Of course. So. >> You know, for customer safety and everything, you don't need to be filming what they're doing or anything like that. That's why I said that. He got into it with one of the customers in there and yeah. So. He's not allowed to film without the authorization for the postal service to come in and film. Right. I'm just trying to think. Since you all are federal entity, if we're able to criminally trespass or what have you. There's another officer on the way that's more experienced than I am. Uh I'll verify what we're able to I know if you all don't want him in here, we can at least get him to leave, but past that, I have not the first clue. I'm still still a rookie. All right, that's fine. All right. As a rookie officer, Officer Colton Antone made the right call to request to speak to a supervisor. As a police officer, the last thing you want to do is violate someone's rights. However, also want to protect employees' rights to tell the man to leave. May I have to get your ID, man? I'm not going to do that. I'm here for a legal reason. I have to have broken a law for you to get my ID. Not true. I'm here for a legal reason. >> you I have to have broken a law and you have to articulate what that law that I've broken is for me to give you my ID. That's not how that works. We are here for a legal If you want to continue to refuse >> and just say that you will arrest me if I don't give it to you, I'll give it to you right now. But you need to say that. Okay. You'll let me talk, please. >> Yes, sir. Okay. So, we are here for a legal reason, meaning I'm able to identify Not anyone you want. Whoever is involved. >> What's What's raz? What is raz? You're a rookie, I heard you say you What is raz? So, you should know. Reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime. What what crime do you suspect me of committing? Trespassing. No, it's trespassing. You were asked to leave multiple times and did not. I left immediately and came outside to wait for you. That's what he has stated. >> No. The man, Justin McHenry, was actually right. He hadn't committed a crime and therefore Officer Colton didn't have reasonable grounds to order him to identify himself. The officer's best bet was to leave the man alone and request a supervisor to the scene, but that's not what happened. Would you let me talk? No, because it won't Okay, let me finish real quick. You can't You can't say All right, go ahead and place your hands behind your back. Do you want to continue arguing with me? >> I'm just talking to you, man. You can place your phone to continue to record me or I can put it right there. >> All you have to say is I'll arrest you if you don't find an ID and I'll give you my ID. >> Well, you're not giving me your ID after I asked multiple times, so come on. I'll give it to you. I've said on camera, all you have to do is say you'll arrest me and I'll give you my ID. That's all you had to say. Why can't you say that? Place your hands like you're praying, man. That way it makes it easier on both of us. Because you You to argue with me the entire time. Can I get a supervisor down here, please? Conway, I've got one in custody right now. Can I get a supervisor? >> Yes, we will get a supervisor down here for you, okay? >> Thank you. I'm I'm willing to work with you as long as you're willing to work with me. I'm very >> I'm not doing anything. I'm just talking. >> I understand. I will. >> Why do I have to be in cuffs to talk to you, dude? Because you continued to not listen to me, continued to argue with me, and you would not identify yourself. Officer Colton placed Justin in the back of his squad car and explained that he wasn't under arrest. He was just being detained until he figured out what was going on. At that moment, Officer Chris McGeary arrived on the scene. Have you guys seen first amendment at all? There is You should look into it, though. I've First amendment audit. Audit. So, I'm auditing to see if they're going to uh violate my first amendment rights. So far, everyone has. They want him gone. I don't know if we're able to criminal trespass him considering it is a federal building. Um when I went to ask him for his ID, he refused multiple times, then continued talking over me, so he got placed in cuffs. I'll give you my side of that whole story. I never refused to give him my Yes, you did. >> Not once. I said I don't need to give you it unless you suspect me of committing a crime. That's what resisting is. That is refusing. >> immediately said, "But I am not refusing to give it to you. If you say you're going to arrest me if I don't give it to you, I'll give it to you in a second." I'm going to write you While Officer Chris continued speaking with the suspect, Officer Colton got a hold of his sergeant over the radio to inform him that Justin did have a right to be there, but that again, it was complicated. Sit tight for a minute, buddy. Sarge said [clears throat] that yeah, he's got a right to be here. Um And that's what I thought. >> can't Sarge said he he can't be inside filming, though, because of sensitive information type stuff. >> Right. She's not getting us in any any trouble or whatnot. I mean, just let him go on his way, but but he can be out here filming if he wants to. He can't be out there filming either, so Okay. >> So, that's what that's where we're at. That's what what the sergeant said to do. So, if he was being if he was fighting us and being disorderly, we could do something, but And I I really don't didn't plan on taking him to jail cuz he wouldn't he wouldn't identify. He wouldn't tell me who he was. So, Yeah, I didn't know I asked I asked the sergeant if they could film inside. He says he believes that they cannot. So, yeah, because of due to sensitive information. Right. That's not exactly right. Although he didn't have the right to film behind the counter, filming in the lobby is technically legal, especially when you're not bothering anybody, >> [music] >> which Justin went out of his way to do. If you want to step out, I'm going to go ahead and take those cuffs off of you. I'm pretty sure our sergeant's still on the way, but he just got off the phone with him. And what he said and if I can get these done unlocked. There you go. So, I got trespass from a public building? >> No, so technically and this much I I do know, you can't be trespassed from here, right? So, you you are free to come back. >> whole No, the whole get my ID thing was also wrong too, then. I can't be trespassed, so what was the crime you suspected me of committing? The crime at the time I suspected you of trespassing because they can't ask you to leave. They can't ask you to leave. We might have a lawsuit still. Can I get a card from you? Yeah, you can. Yeah. >> I'm I'm willing to work with you 100%, dude. Like I said, I have been this entire time. Here's your ID. No, you haven't. I have. The officer told him that he wasn't being trespassed, but he was being asked to leave. Justin was less than satisfied, and he made sure the officers knew it. You could tell that he didn't want them to forget that they had messed up. I just want to get everyone's names and all that. >> Yeah, go ahead. And do you want my badge number? Yes, please. It'll be 2214. Thank you. You guys can see my badge number. So, officer Mashburn, I'm officer officer Mashburn. Yeah, supervisor said to be here. Good, man. All right, good. All right. >> I got violated today. It'll probably be a loss this time but Well, I hope you have a good day. You've been cool. How about you? All right, buddy. Hopefully, the police officers and post office staff will use the experience to familiarize themselves with the law regarding First Amendment rights in federal buildings. On July 2nd, 2024, Matthew Amescua, a rookie officer with the Ruidoso Police Department, found himself in a career-altering position when he was caught fabricating a story that an intruder had broken into his home to cover up his incompetence. This is Katie, how can I help you? Hey, Katie, this is 622. Um, I just got back to my apartment and I think somebody broke in. Oh. Okay. Yeah, I I just I need to make a I need to have a unit come out here. [music] Apparently, Matthew showed up for his shift only to be told to go home and shave. He stopped at Walmart to get shaving supplies before heading home. Upon leaving his home, he realized he had forgotten his body camera and house keys inside when he left. But, instead of calling a locksmith, he kicked in his door and reported it as a break-in. So, you went to Walmart, your card didn't work, so you didn't buy nothing. Came back home. Yeah, cuz you Came in, you wound up using your electric razor. Yeah, but shouldn't be everything still over there? Okay. But, I used that, got everything done, was going to go back at 1:00, and that's when I realized my body cam is [music] still on on the sink. I was [clears throat] going to come back down to get it and the door was spidered. How long you been here, Ski? 21. 21. You You how long I've been doing this? Uh 8 years, sir. 23. So, I'm I'm pretty good about reading situations. You know what I mean? So, I want you to know that first of all you know, I can help you out if there's something else going on here, okay? But, I need you as an officer to be 100% honest with me right now. Yes, sir. 100%. Yes, sir. The senior officer immediately knew that something was off. Matthew had just placed his new career in jeopardy for literally no reason. And unfortunately for him, no amount of lying was going to get him out of this one. Now, it's my understanding you were uh when you called your mom, what you said was you were sitting right here. Was that 6:42? At 6:42, you were at Walmart. No, sir. 6:21 I was at Walmart. 6:42 was when I got back here. 6:46-ish was when I called dispatch. Okay. The receipt leaving Walmart. Yes, sir. With the bag in your hand. Yes. I bought a candy, but that's it. Bought candy with your card? With uh cash. Okay. But, you didn't use that to buy your razor? No, sir. No? How come? No, I mean, I realized that I had my electric shaver here, so I didn't really see the need to actually buy that. Save my money. After being confronted about the timeline not adding up, Matthew's body language hinted that he knew he had been caught in a lie, but the senior officer wasn't done yet. He had more evidence that the new recruit was lying. I looked at the boot patterns. What do you think I saw there? Okay, it's okay. It's not the end of the world, man, but you I need you to be straight with me. Okay? Why did Why did you kick it? Were you locked out? Yes. Yeah? Okay. It's all right. But, here's the thing, man. When you When you do something like that, especially in this career, you call your buddy, Muñoz. Hey, dude, I I got locked out. I had to kick my freaking door. I'm probably going to be in trouble. So, I'm assuming maybe you thought what? That you're going to have to pay for the door cuz you kicked it or what? I knew that. Yeah? So, why did you kick it? I did get locked. You got locked out? And couldn't find your key or it was in here? Uh it was So, it was in here. It was in here. It was in here. You almost couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy. He was new to the job. The fact that he was already told earlier to go home because he needed to shave, it would be even more embarrassing if his colleagues found out that he kicked his door open because he forgot his body camera. So, not wanting to look incompetent, he decided to report it as a break-in. Listen, what we need to do right now is I need you to take off your gear. Okay? So, you just put that down. You can just put your put your phone down or whatever. But, I'm going to I'm going to take this from you, okay? Is this triple? Uh Does it have a thumb release? Okay. >> Okay. Let's go ahead and take take all your gear off, okay? Matthew definitely screwed up. Sure, he might have looked incompetent, but if he just told his colleagues what really happened, the worst that could have happened is that they would have teased him about it every now and then. But, claiming that he was robbed to save face was taking things way too far. Keep in mind that this doesn't have to be the end of law enforcement for you, okay? This is a misdemeanor. It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, okay? You might have another shot in the future. But, you can't start your career out with a false report, okay? It is a crime. It is going to be an improvement likewise, okay? But, at the same time, now that with our department anyway, your credibility not so good, okay? I'm just being straight with So, I want you to keep that in mind in the future regardless of what you get into, but it's law enforcement, you got to be 100% right on the gray area with Okay? Uh was that did you wear that belt? Uh my duty belt is in the car. Your duty belt, okay. I'm going to take all the department issued stuff, so let's get all of that off of you, okay? You got patches, equipment straps, I thought that was I I took off the tactical vest. Oh, okay. Matthew changed out of his uniform while rounding up other items which had police insignia on them. There was no doubt it was probably the most embarrassing experience of his life, but he had no one to blame but himself. You want to keep that belt over or you want to just give it back to Pat? I'll keep the belts. Actually, said you didn't want it anymore, so. Okay. Bro, oh is that holy [ __ ] Well, is there any other department issue stuff that you can think of? Uh no, sir. Everything was in the box or on me. Okay. Seeing that he was only 21 years old, his time as a police officer was brief, but his humiliation [music] wasn't done yet. After his gear was packed away in the back of a police cruiser, there was still one more thing to do. Well, like I said, I'm going to go as easy on you as I possibly can. Okay. And we'll we'll get it figured out. Okay. I don't have anything in my pockets on this side. And I got wallet on this side. Your phone on this side? Phone is on it and nothing in this pocket. Nothing on this side. Okay. All right. Back. Back. Okay. Back. >> Sometimes I forget my name. Matthew A. Mosquito was charged with falsifying a police report. His employment status with the department remains unclear. On September 18th, 2024, a man was harassed by two police officers for exercising his First Amendment right to stand on the steps of City Hall in Little Rock, Arkansas, holding a sign that read, "God bless our homeless vets." What's going on, man? How you doing, brother? I'm Officer Jackson with Little Rock Police Department. I've been advised that security has asked you to leave and and you won't. What's What's the deal here? >> They haven't asked me to leave. They just said that they're not sure if I can do this or not. Okay. They don't want him off the property. So, they do They do want you off the property. I apologize that they haven't let you let you know that. So. >> Okay. Well, let me let me Yeah, yeah. explain something to you. Go ahead, bro. What I'm doing is I'm engaged in freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly at the steps of City Hall, which is a tradition I've performed. Okay. If they trespass me off of this property for the engaging in my civil rights, you're going to be held liable and they're going to be held liable. The city's going to be held liable. I got you. >> So, I encourage you not to be employed Yeah, no. I We're on good terms, brother. I encourage you contact the city attorney, contact the mayor, contact the DA, contact your supervisor, and let them know before you trespass me off. I got you. The man, Jeff Gray, does this all across the country. He stands on the steps of a public building with the same sign. Recently, he filed a suit against the city of Alpharetta, Georgia for violating his First Amendment rights and won. To settle the lawsuit, the city paid him $55,000 and ordered that its officers undergo training on the First Amendment. It's not the fact that you're a veteran or that you're pushing your religion, it's the fact that you're loitering right on the front steps of City Hall. So, you can simply just step on the the public sidewalk and it'd be that simple. Yeah, steps of City Hall is a traditional public forum. Okay. What's your What's your name? I'd rather not give my name out. Well, I I told you it was Jeff. Jeff? Yeah, Jeff. I'll get that. What's your last name? I'd rather not give my last name. All right, well, listen. You want me to contact all these people and all that stuff, so I am conducting an investigation. So, therefore, I don't want you to catch a petty charge for obstruction. It's not. I'm I'm engaged in free speech. I got you, and I'm doing my job. Before you put me in cuffs, like I said, contact the city attorney's office. I think that that picture on the news is I'm engaging in I got you. Listen. protected activity. Are you going to give me your last name and date of birth or not? What What would happen if I don't? Obstruction. Officer Jackson to lawfully detain Jeff, he needed to have a reasonable suspicion that a crime had occurred. And unfortunately for the officer, holding a sign that says, "God bless the homeless vets" on the steps of City Hall is not a crime. While Officer Jackson spoke to security inside City Hall, another officer arrived on the scene. Good morning. Hey, good morning. God bless the homeless vets. Um so, has the other officer made contact with you yet or is he inside? >> City Hall. Okay, has he talked to you yet? He He has. He said he'd be willing to have a discussion with him. Okay. Well, I'm going to tell you right government property, you won't be able peaceful is that you'd have to go over somewhere on a sidewalk, you wouldn't be able to do it on the property. Officer Morris. Officer Morris? Morris, yes. M O R R I S. Like I explained to the other officer, what did you say? Uh that's Jackson. Jackson, also Jackson, also Morris. I'm engaged in constitutionally protected activity. Traditional public forum. And if you guys trespass me or make me leave, you'll be held liable under law. Well, I don't know if you're begging for money cuz you're putting on there that you're homeless. So, and that's usually what the the homeless people do. You you can't beg on public. That's not the point. If you're soliciting out here to get money cuz you're homeless, then you would have to go to the sidewalk and do that. No, no, no. Soliciting is different. When you're out here begging for money, yes, it is. It's something different. What I What I'm telling you is I know you want an argument. That's what you're here your goal is. Here Listen what I'm saying. You cannot be on government property, and this is state government, begging for money. You can go to a sidewalk because a judge granted you can stand on a sidewalk and beg because that is public property, and you can do that there. First of all, he wasn't begging for money. He would only tell passersby God bless our homeless vets. The officers were definitely in the wrong, and if they kept violating Jeff's rights, they were going to pay, just like the city of Alpharetta. All the officers had to do was double-check with their superiors, but their egos got in the way. I'm talking to the mayor's chief security. He said what I'm standing here, he have to go down on the sidewalk. That's what I'm explaining. You're blocking the entrance standing here begging. Go to the sidewalk. All you got to do is go to the sidewalk. And I don't know why I don't know why That's what they're saying. The mayor's saying this. Go to the sidewalk. You can either go to the sidewalk, sir, if you're out here soliciting for money, or we're going to take you for loitering for the purpose of begging. Yes, cuz you're loitering on this property. I'm telling you now, don't point your finger at me. Don't do that. You're not in charge of me or anything out here. I I That's fine, sir. That's fine. Call your lawyer right now. That's fine. I'm telling you right now, if they want you off the property, you have to leave. That's what we're probably going to have to do if you don't listen. They're saying you can go and stand on the sidewalk, right here on the front, but you're not listening. You don't want to do that. And you will still serve your purpose on the front of the sidewalk standing with your homeless sign. Officer Morris continued to lecture Jeff on the finer parts of the law, even though she had no idea what she talking about, the irony was that although they didn't know it, the officers were the ones breaking the law. Ignorance of the law was one thing, but the officers attitude wasn't helping either. Well, that's the here's the thing. It's one thing to stand here and just talk. Freedom of speech, but it's another when you're holding a sign saying you're homeless vet. Do you even have a VA card to prove you're a veteran, sir? Are you Are you falsifying that information? >> say that I was a I asked you. >> you cuz cuz I'm you It says God bless the homeless vets, but I'm asking you are a veteran. Are you a veteran? What branch? Okay, I was too. What was your MOS? Okay, cuz you probably weren't. I seriously doubt you were. You already said that you were out here possibly asking for money. Keep pointing your finger at me, sir, and I'm going to take it as a threat. Negative. Negative. You keep pointing at me. Turn around. Nobody's talking to you right now. Turn around. Nobody's talking to you. Even though he was under no obligation to answer her questions, Jeff was, in fact, [music] a veteran. As justification to push him around, the officer kept repeating the lie that Jeff had admitted to begging for money, but that wasn't true. As a result, she wanted to take him downtown for criminal trespass. What? Go ahead. Did he happen to ask you anything when you were walking up? Huh? Did he happen to bother you or anything when No, he's just saying God bless vets. He wasn't bothering anybody. Yeah. How have you been? That's what we're here for, but I was just curious. See my camera right here? It's been recording the whole time. I never asked for money. I never asked for money. I'm soliciting goodwill and compassion for homeless vets. That's what he said. I'm saying I wasn't here. I'm telling you what he said. I was not here when that conversation happened, when you guys had contact. I'm just stating what he said. But, uh my other thing was, are you falsely impersonating that you're a veteran? Are you falsely impersonating that you're a veteran? Cuz that's really offensive if you are. I never served in the military. I asked you if you were in the military, you said yes, the army. Well, I'm just asking. Because we have folks who say they're in the military and they beg and they do other stuff and they're really not and it's an embarrassment to people who served. Because they're who don't deserve that. The officers are making a big mistake. There was a reason why Jeff had a camera set up and they should have realized a lot sooner that he knew what he was doing and it wasn't long before they pushed it too far. Wait, he's asking me to leave or I'll be in trespass. You're not being banned from the property, you're being told to get off the property due to your what you're doing. Due to what I'm doing? Due to free speech. Okay, and if I don't leave the property, what's going to happen? You'll get charged with criminal trespass. >> Okay. I'm out of here. But this is discretion. This is freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of assembly and the freedom to petition the government. You don't have the constitutional right to be People fought and died for the right to do this. You guys are disgusting. Shame on you. Shame on you. Although Jeff had been trespassed and had walked away on his own accord, that didn't mean the officers had heard the last of him. They chased after him to request his identification and it went just as well as you would guess. All right. Um you do understand that you are not allowed back on the property. That's what they're That's what they're wanting now, so. That's what they're wanting again? All right. Well, I do have to get your information. For trespass? Yeah. That's a stupid That's a That's a stupid thing, man. No, it's not. I've left the property. The crime only occurs if I refuse to leave or if if I come back. Exactly. I got Listen to me. Listen to me. You didn't commit a crime, but listen. You just said what I was about to say. If you come back, right? You just admitted that. How is some an officer or the establishment going to be able to know who you are if they don't have no information? >> way you can get ID is if there's a crime committed or you suspect me of a crime. No, that that's false. I'm I'm now conducting an investigation, okay? I'm being detained for no reason. Yes, you are being detained, okay? I'm done playing with you, okay? You're making this so you are and you just spit on me. I'm trying I didn't mean to spit. I got you. Well, after Let me step away then. Let me step away. What's your last name? If I don't give you my last name, I'll be arrested? Yes. So, now you're detaining me to get my my driver's license, which is an illegal detainment because I haven't you don't suspect me of committing a crime. I complied with the trespass. You're under arrest. Am I free to go now? I just told you why I'm getting your information. Yes, you're good to go. I'll try to explain it to you, but you don't want to listen. Well, you're [ __ ] ignorant. Wrong. The officers were the only ones who were ignorant that day. If they have any common sense, they had better hope that Jeff doesn't decide to take them to court. On June 11th, 2023 in Hoboken, New Jersey, police officers conducted a traffic stop after they observed a vehicle failed to maintain its lane, disregard a traffic control device, and failed to stop for a stop sign. Step away from me. Okay, listen. I smell marijuana coming from you. Okay. I don't know if that's you or him, but suppose like it's coming from you. How many did you have to drink tonight? Uh well, today it was my brother's birthday. We had like a couple sangrias. Well, how would I know? Is that your bar or is that someone's house? No, my house. We had a party. Are you living You don't live I guess this is your parents' address or mailing address? This is Oh, in Orange? Yes. Okay, what are you doing in Hoboken? We came to see the view. You came here to see the view. Although he pulled her over for several traffic violations, the officer became increasingly suspicious that the driver, Diana, was under the influence of alcohol. As a result, he wanted to perform some field sobriety tests, to which she agreed. All right, just a second. What color is the fender? It's kind of like a navy uh blue color. >> Okay, I need you to follow this pen with your eyes only. Keep your head straight, do you understand? It's a white car, white in color, and it has like four hubcaps on it. Light brown hair, has some light brown facial hair on them, and then possibly All right, listen. You need to keep your head straight. Follow the pen with your eyes only. Do you understand that? I appreciate that. We need to get him on the phone now with uh Keep your head straight, okay? Do you understand what I'm saying? >> Okay, yeah. After examining her eyes, the officer conducted some additional tests. She hadn't told him yet, but she would go on to claim, more than too many times, that she was an aspiring police officer. So, you can see this line going down the sidewalk, right? >> Yes, sir. So, what you can do is you can take your left foot, right? You're going to place it on that line. You're going to do it now? Yeah, sure. Now, stay like that. You're going to take your right foot and place it in front Yes, you're going to take your other foot, which is your right foot, and place it just like I'm doing, in front of your left foot, touching heel to toe. Just like that, okay? Now, stay like that. Now, stay Stay like that till I tell you to move, do you understand? Okay. Keeping your hands down, you're going to take nine steps forward, counting out loud. One, two, three, all the way to nine. To nine. Once you get to nine, you're going to turn around.

Okay. >> Do you understand? All right. All right, begin. Go ahead. Yeah? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Going back? Yep. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 She was definitely failing her field sobriety test. There was no questions about that. But, following protocol, the officer had additional tests he wanted her to complete. And let's just say it went as expected. 1 1,000 2 1 1,000 3 1,000 4 1,000 5 1,000 6 1,000 7 1,000 8 1,000 9 1,000 10 1,000 11 1,000 12 1,000 13 1,000 14 1,000 15 1,000 16 1,000 17 1,000 18 1,000 Okay. Yeah, keep going. 18 19 1,000 19 1,000 20 1,000 21 >> 21 1,000 22 1,000 23 >> You stop, ma'am. You stop. >> Oh, sorry. After collecting her identification and asking her a few more questions, the officer informed Diana that she was being placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. All right, listen, ma'am. Right now, you're being placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated, okay? What? For driving while intoxicated, you're being placed under arrest. DUI. Why, officer? >> Because you're intoxicated, you failed my test, and the way you were driving. >> I fail your test? Officer, please, I can't. >> You're you're pretty intoxicated right now, ma'am. I swear officer, I can't be placed under arrest with my family away. All right, so you want to see Please, definitely you are. Yeah, yeah. Officer, please, no, I can't. >> Ma'am, Please, I'm trying to be a police officer in Orange in Jersey. Okay. Well, especially with the way you were driving. Please, I can just park my car right there. >> Ma'am, that doesn't >> Officer, can I take your test? Please. >> You already took the test. Please, don't make Don't make this more difficult, okay? I can't. >> Just so you know, also just so you know, everything is on camera. >> are at home and I have to eat. They're not home. Where are they? Where are they at? They're in parole. How old are you? I'm 23. Okay, so what do you need your parents for? How am I going to get out? You're not going to get out. Officer, please don't do this. I swear I'm trying to be an officer in Orange County dressing. Please, I can't get this record. As an aspiring police officer, she should know she needed to place her hands behind her back or she was going to get hit with a resisting arrest charge and that wouldn't be good for any aspiring police officer. Sir, I can take the test. Please don't arrest me. Officer, please. Please. Come on, shut up. Please, officer, don't do this. I have no one to pick up the car, please. Officer, please don't arrest me. Okay. All right, we're not going to play this game. Please. I know, officer, please. Officer, please. Please, can I do the test again? No, you can't. But why are you arresting me? What's up, Jen? Officer, please, why are you arresting me? >> you say? Yeah, absolutely. Officer. Okay. Um do we Did the Frank say we have 25 on the video? Yeah, 450. Officer. Please. Yeah, if you step inside the vehicle, please. No, but please, why are you arresting me? Can I park my car around here? Officer, I can't go under arrest. I've never did it and I'm trying to be a police officer. She could beg all she wanted, but it wasn't going to do any good. The officer heard her tell him nearly a dozen times that she wanted to be a cop herself. So it should already be clear to her that it wasn't going to get her out of trouble. Officer. Step inside the vehicle, please. But please. Can I take the test? No. Officer, please. I can't be placed under arrest. Officer, please. I can't be placed I understand, but please. I can't be a police officer with this record. Please. I beg you. Don't do this. do this. I swear. But why? Can I take the test? Please, I can't. I'm trying to be a police officer with this record. I can't. Please, can I take the test? Please, I beg you. Please. You going to make us carry you in? Officer, please. I beg you. A search of Diana's vehicle turned up a half-empty bottle of tequila stashed under the front passenger seat. At the police station, she submitted to a breathalyzer and blew a 0.13% BAC. She was issued citations for driving while intoxicated, failure to observe a traffic control device, failure to stop at a stop sign, reckless driving, and open container in a motor vehicle. On January 9th, 2023, an officer was in the middle of a traffic stop when a car sped by. After quickly wrapping up the stop, the officer pursued the motorist and pulled him over. However, the driver knew his rights and was willing to stand his ground and fight. What's going on, man? >> What's going on? How are you How are you How are you telling someone to slow down while you're in a traffic stop, bud? What's What are you getting aggressive for? Why are you Do you Do you know who I am? Who are you? Don't worry about it. You're not in uniform, that's [music] what I'm worried at. What's your name, man? >> Don't worry about it. Run the plates. Well, I just did. All right, what did it come back to? Well, I don't know. I haven't got it returned yet. Can we turn it in? What's the problem? Make sure you get a supervisor to get here. I don't need a supervisor. >> You don't need You sure? We're just going to talk to you. >> You can call Aaron. No, I'm not calling Aaron. Call Aaron. Call Aaron. I'm telling you call Aaron. You want to play this game, dude? Okay, I'm not Hold on. What What What did you pull me over for? >> Okay. What What was the probable cause? Yes. And you're telling me to slow down. How do you know I'm speeding? Are you done? No. How do you know I'm speeding? Dude, you literally revved your engine and took off in front of me. Cuz Because you did this. Because you did this, right? >> Yeah, I said slow down. How do you know I was speeding? Because, dude, you took off right in front of me. How do you know I was speeding? >> Dude, you literally took off in front >> not in a car to tell me if I'm speeding or not. The man, Nate, had a point. Under Texas Transportation Code Section 545.352, speed limits must be enforced using accurate measurement methods, such as radar or pacing from a moving patrol car. However, the officer was standing outside his vehicle when he alleged Nate was speeding. Step off, dude. I'm not Step off for what? Just step off so I can talk to you over here, man. Step off. Okay. Make sure you get a supervisor here, man. Who's on duty today? Me, Aaron, and Shepherd. Get Aaron. Get Aaron now. I don't need Aaron here. Okay, Shepherd, do you have your license? No, I'm not giving you my Why are you Do you have your license, brother? So, you're not asking for nothing else? I'm asking for your license. For what? Registration, car insurance. For what? Cuz the reason why I'm pulling you over is for speeding. You don't How did you track me speeding? >> Dude, You're not in your patrol car. You were outside, right? Call Aaron. I don't need this camera. I got your camera, don't worry about it. That's all right, brother. That's all right. Go ahead and figure it out. Have a seat. >> Yeah, just have a seat. No, I'm standing right here, man. I don't know why you're acting dumb with me, dude. I'm just trying to How am I acting dumb with you. You You abandoned your traffic stop to come pull me I did cuz you're hauling butt, dude. >> You You abandoned your traffic >> Why don't you just back up, man? Now you're right in front of my property. Okay, I don't care if it's your property or not. >> now you Why are you so afraid? I'm not afraid, dude. >> back up? Just back up, man. >> Okay. You're raising your hands and you're getting >> my hands. I'm from Philly. Ask Aaron, he'll tell you. That's how I talk. Nate refused to give the officer his identification, claiming that he had not broken any laws. He was right to point out that it was against the law for the officer to judge the speed of his vehicle without any equipment. However, the officer didn't want to back down. Makes you think you're bad, right? >> Makes me big and bad? How How's it make me big and bad? How's it make me big and bad? You just You're acting like one. You're a lawyer, attorney. You're good brother. >> I'm an attorney? Yeah, you're acting like one, so. What? I'm an attorney? All right. All right. You still didn't run the plate yet. I ran the plate. >> So, what did it come back to? I don't know cuz I didn't get my Well, then returned yet, so. Okay. That's cool, man. Nate really knew his stuff. He pointed out that the officer abandoned his previous traffic stop to chase him down. If the case were to go to court, the officer's actions could be interpreted as improper conduct as there wasn't an immediate need to address an emergency. This is what you did. And you did this when you did this, that gave me the even the more of a power to go because if you're not inside your car, you can't tell me to slow down outside. Okay. Who do you think you are? You don't even have a real reason to pull me over. You were speeding. >> You were speeding. So, how did you How did you track my speed, sir? How did you track my speed? You were just speeding, man. How did How did you track my speed? Uh I don't know. You don't? So, how are you going to If you write me a ticket, how are you going to fight this ticket? I said I was going to just give you a verbal, dude, but you wanted to get all dumb and stupid when you don't want to. dumb and stupid Yeah, you started going crazy. Oh, you're stupid. You're calling me all kinds >> Because I just watched you abandon your traffic stop. >> Yeah. So, what makes you think I can come you over? You took off right in front of me, dude. Don't try to play this >> Because you did Why did you do this? Why did you do this? So, that guy saw you in the video when you did this? Yeah, cuz I was recording the whole time. Well, why did you do this? >> To tell you to slow down. You were already speeding. >> tell me to slow down. >> Okay. You have someone pulled over. Okay. So, so how did you tell >> Just jump in your car. I'm done. I'm going >> no. You just told me to >> Jump in your car. Jump in your car. Supervise it. Are you not coming? So, just jump in your car. Have a good day, man. I'll deal with you later. The officer knew he didn't have a leg to stand on and eventually gave up, but not before issuing what could be considered a verbal threat. And although it might have just seemed like a slip of the tongue, it began to seem real when the officer stopped Nate the next day without cause. How's it going? Good, good. You're all right? Oh, it's you again. All right, man. No, man. Cuz I could just Tell me you walk on the sidewalk, man. You're too close to the roadway. Come on, you're being stupid. Be nice with me, dude. Dude, why do you want to do this? I thought I was going to come talk to you, Nate. and smash you, dude. We can talk right now, Nate. What? Is your camera on? Yes, it's Okay. I mean, so you came out to approach me cuz I have a mask on? No, but you're walking too close to the road. Dude, what if a car hits you? That's not That's not your problem. >> It is going to be my problem. No, it's No, dude. Come on, I just have to do this every single day, man. >> Okay, well, this is the first time I've seen you. But why why do you want to Why do you want to with me, man? >> [ __ ] with you, Nate. You just You just got out of your car to talk to me and then you're like, "Oh, it's Nate." What's wrong with that with me? What's wrong with that? I was going to approach you either way. Why? Nate, hold on. I already drove by me two times and didn't say nothing. Okay, well, that's all right. Why are you Do I look Do I look suspicious? No, Nate. I'm walking. Will you let me talk now? I'm exercising, man. Will you let me talk? I let you talk. Okay. The officer said he didn't want to have a problem. He was just coming to check up on him. He said he was concerned about him walking so close to the road, but Nate figured he was there to make good on his promise. Let me take my mask off. Yeah, maybe because then everybody's going to think something suspicious. Dude, why? Do you guys want to get sued for stopping someone looking suspicious? You're a cop. Do you want to get sued, dude? Dude, you need to relax. >> No, but how how come you just >> want to stop me? How come you just make a big old deal out of everything? Because you just I don't like to be [ __ ] with. Okay. How come you don't just go be a cop? You can just I don't want to be a Don't come You don't even know me, bro. You don't know nothing about me, bro. Nothing about me, bro. Nothing, man. That's what I want you to learn, bro. >> Okay. Appreciate it. Thank you. You might as well just go home. Yeah, but and that's the same thing you keep saying I'm an attorney. My wife's going to be an attorney. Okay, good for you. So that's what she's in school for. I'm glad. But but you don't think that I don't know a little bit? Why do you keep saying that I'm an attorney? Because the way you come off >> Because I know the law, bro. Okay. Okay. >> probably know enough law I'm saying. Okay. I'm not being disrespectful to you, but everything that I checked you on, you you have nothing to defend. It certainly was a strange reason to pull Nate over. Although he was wearing a face covering, it wasn't illegal, and neither was jogging close to the side of the road, whatever that meant. Oh, this is stupid. >> It is stupid, right? >> It is. Let me walk down the street. >> Yeah, yeah. Cuz I have a mask on. If I didn't have a mask on, you wouldn't You're too close to the road. Now you just want They're stupid, man. I know. I I don't know how to do my job. I'm just a rookie, so Wait, I forgot I have a citizen schooling me, so that's okay. A citizen schooling you? >> Yes, sir. I forgot I'm a lawyer. I get sad, bro. Nate continued to argue with the rookie officer on the side of the road. Because he had a criminal record, he believed that he was being singled out and targeted. It wasn't long before the conversation turned to their encounter the previous day. Come on, Aaron. Like you seem like you're you're going against me, bro. I don't know. >> just telling you what I saw you Okay. I'm telling you what I saw. It's on the video we actually drove right past you. Yeah, I watched his video. Of the of the police interaction before? Yeah, I did. And then you saw him do this even before I passed? I didn't film you that because of body camera right here, but I did see you rev up your engine. I didn't hear you and I saw you take off. But I didn't Did I go that far fast? How fast did I go? I don't know. I can't But did I Did I stop? Did I do it quick, right? I did it quick and that's it, right? rev up your engine and that's why I pulled you over, dude. Okay. And I was honest with you. Why did you abandon your other traffic stop, bro? This is No, we're going to learn, bro. This is learning. I'm going to learn. We're going to learn it. You need to start doing your job like you typically do or something. I mean And that's why That's why I pulled you over so I can learn. Yeah. It was hard to tell whether the officer was being sarcastic. They weren't going to arrest him or give him a ticket for walking too close to the road. By that point, it was obvious to everyone that they were just wasting Nate's time. If you write me a ticket for walking in a I don't care, bro. You want me to make a donation? What do you want me to do, bro? Nate >> Do it. You're not going to stop me, bro. I'm not bothering no one. Everybody runs like this. Everybody. Everybody. There's a guy and a lady that does it every single night. Walks right here. I usually see him on the sidewalk, man. Get the Okay, I'm going to record it. As a matter of fact, I'm done talking because it seems like you just keep interrupting You just keep interrupting, okay? So, like I said, reason why I came is just to check on you. You're doing your walking too close to the road. Hey, if somebody hits you, guess what? You're not liable cuz I was right in front of me and I could have done something about it, okay? Police officers are never liable, sir. Just know that. I know. I know, I'm walking. I'm walking. No, I got to go. The officer's repeated targeting of Nate only made him seem more incompetent. Sure, he's new to the job, but he certainly has a lot more learning to do about the law. On May 7th, 2023, a Tallahassee police officer spotted a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed with his headlights off at night and conducted a traffic stop. Hello sir, I'm Officer Oliver with Tallahassee Police Department. Do you have your driver's license, registration, and insurance? Yes, but it's my wife. She told me to slow down. Yes, sir. So, you don't have any headlights on and you're going really fast on Monroe Street. My headlight my my headlight's automatically on when I'm driving. They're not on right now. Are you sure about that? Yes, sir. The driver, Calvin, had been driving with his parking lights on. Next, Officer Kiersten Oliver returned to her squad car to run his license and discuss the situation with her partner. Aside from being suspicious that Calvin was under the influence of alcohol, there was also a problem with his license. What you doing and did you follow instructions No. Okay. Here, go ahead and step out of the vehicle for us. Just go ahead and step out of the car out of the car for us. Your license is suspended, so we're going to No problem. Oh, should I call somebody to come pick up the car? Yeah, we'll get to that. Just give me a second, okay? And my license You knew your license was suspended? >> No, I didn't. In Florida, officers have discretion whether to ticket or arrest someone driving with a suspended license for the first offense. Calvin was escorted over to the police cruiser, where he was searched. The officers claim that his car smelled like marijuana. However, Calvin claimed that he didn't smoke cannabis. Do you have Do you have marijuana card? No, I don't. No. Have you recently smoked marijuana? No, smoke nothing. Okay. So, you trying that good That's my money right there from my job. I got you. So, I'm going to tell you something. You see the back of my shirt? Look at that [ __ ] I'll show you I'm a boss. Do you understand what I'm saying? So, what you're saying is you smell marijuana. You're a liar. So, I'm going to I'm going to show you something. Go ahead and unlock the car or can you unlock it? All right, go ahead and sit down in my car for me, okay? You got my little [snorts] blossom more money. >> it. Okay. Since you smell marijuana Yeah, go ahead and sit down. What's your name? Officer Oliver. Go ahead and sit down for me. Calvin, sit down for us. I will. Since you say you smell that marijuana Sit down, please. >> But that's the reason you stopped me or you stopped me to tell me about my wife and my job. It's not the reason you were stopped. Okay. But you know I wasn't speeding cuz I got a track on my Okay. And you smell marijuana. >> Just watch your foot, okay? Wow, he reeks of alcohol. With Calvin secured in the back of the police cruiser, the officers searched his vehicle. Considering they claimed he reeked of marijuana and alcohol, they were certain they would find some contraband stashed away somewhere. I don't know. It smells very strong. This is cologne right here though. He's like sprayed it like right before. He's got like a gold chain and a bag. Around thing. >> [music] >> What is this? Ring. Hey, there's vodka in his seat like right here in a pouch in his seat. Vodka was found in this pouch in his seat. Now, this is the part that has divided public opinion. Officer Oliver was taken to court over [music] claims that she broke the seal on the bottle and poured most of the contents on the street in an attempt to frame Calvin, but we'll get back to that later. Afterward, Officer Oliver joined her partner back at the squad car where they continued to question Calvin. You say you smell marijuana. You're a silly person. >> listen to her, okay? Listen to her. I don't even smoke. Not to mention that you were an old lady. Okay, just listen to this officer, okay? You're a liar. You ain't smell no marijuana. You're a liar. Calvin. You're a liar. You don't even know a police officer. You're a liar. Because we're not acknowledging your Miranda. You would use that for an excuse to do what you want to do. Yes, sir. You ain't stupid. You know why I ain't getting up? You ain't got nothing. Cuz I don't smoke. Please, I don't do no drugs. He don't do drugs. You're a liar. Calvin, he smells marijuana. Hey Calvin, I grabbed your phone. Do you want to make a That's my phone. Give me my phone. It's on my lap. You want to call your lady? Okay. Cuz you're a liar. Although they claimed that Calvin smelled like marijuana, they didn't find any cannabis or paraphernalia in his vehicle. At that point, he was unaware that he would be charged for an open container. Nevertheless, he was cautioned he had refused to submit to a field sobriety tests or breathalyzer. Give me my phone. Give me my phone. Are you armed? Are you The officers radioed in for a tow truck to pick up Calvin's vehicle. At the same time, another officer arrived on the scene to assist in transporting him to the police station for further processing. Calvin. How you doing, sir? Good, man. I'm Sergeant Smith with I appreciate that, sir. So, here's here's the deal, man. I got to I got to take you for this car and we got to put you in that one, okay? Hey, it's like this. It's okay. Okay, are you going to cooperate? We're not going to have any issues, right? >> ain't nobody cooperating just like this. >> You'll be okay? Hey, I'm talking to you right now. >> Yes, sir. I ain't got no problem being okay. Okay. I got a problem with what happened earlier. Yes, sir. It's lies, but I'm going to tell you like this right here. I ain't got no problem cooperating. >> Okay. You know what I'm saying? >> Yes, sir. You ran my name, you know my record, it's all good, but it's like this right here. Uh-huh. I ain't get nothing. Okay. >> But I'm going to tell you right there. Yes, sir. The officer told Calvin that he would still have the option to provide a breath sample back at the police station, but for whatever reason, Calvin was more upset with being accused of smelling like marijuana, even though he wasn't being charged with anything marijuana related. Can I use my phone? Yeah, you need to call somebody? Yeah. That's what I said. You cooperate with us, we're going to we're going to work with you. >> Hey, okay. No problem. Can I use my phone? Okay, we'll get it. Who do you need to call? Uh Can I Can I see you Can I use my phone? Yeah. Have a seat and I'll I'll bring you the phone and we'll make the phone call from here, okay? Bro. Got you. I appreciate you driving me to the police department. No, so he has he has a cover on his seat and in the cover where like the knee would sit, there's an opening and he had it like uh tucked. Okay. Officer Kiersten Oliver was cleared of any wrongdoing after an internal Tallahassee police investigation found no evidence of misconduct. Calvin Riley Sr. was found guilty of DUI after a breathalyzer test confirmed he had a blood alcohol concentration above 0.08. There's no public record of a formal disciplinary sanction against Oliver or any announcement of an internal investigation. However, her public reputation was severely damaged following the incident. On November 5th, 2023, police officers responded to a two-vehicle crash. Shockingly, the driver of the second vehicle was an off-duty police officer identified as 25-year-old James Corleone. Driver one. I'm I'm a cop, off-duty. Okay. Here's my license. All right, boss. Okay. All right, are you okay? Anything hurting? I'll check the back passenger on the driver side. >> Okay. All right, thanks. Help her. We're good. We're good. Yeah. >> I don't see Q on this one back here. Hey, how many we got in the car? We got four in here. Okay. Do you think you can safely get those doors open? It's locked. Hey, can we unlock the doors on this side, please? It was a horrendous sight involving multiple injured individuals, including young children. Thankfully, the fire department and EMS had arrived on scene to provide emergency first aid. Kid says he's okay. Looks like grandma might be unresponsive. They put the tourniquet on. That's grandma. There's a child in the back. Although it seems he's responsive. He says he's fine. Grandma's in the back passenger side. Back is on the driver's side. Responsive or not? He's The male The male up front is fine. He's talking on the phone. The female in the back here is unresponsive right now. The female's got a compound fracture. No, female female. Female? Male male in the back. Or uh sorry, male up front. Grandma's in the front passenger side, and then this is our grandma for sure. That's what the kid said. The crash appeared to have occurred on a residential street. According to reports, James, an off-duty officer, was driving at a high rate of speed when the collision occurred, resulting in massive damage to both vehicles. James, what what happened? All right, so I'm coming southbound, she's coming northbound, inside lanes both times. I don't know where we cross. Okay, you're going south, she's going north. >> She's going north, inside lanes on both equal lanes traffic. Okay. Talk to you over here. Where you from from? Friend's house. Okay. How are you feeling? I'm feeling okay. Anything in the car? Do you have a weapon or anything? No. Off-duty. I'm not carrying. Okay. Service weapon is at my home. Okay. All right, stay here, okay? The officers were informed that the elderly passenger was unresponsive and would need to be transported to the hospital immediately. Suspecting that James was under the influence of alcohol, he spoke to his superiors for guidance on how to handle the situation before confronting James once again. I know I'm looking for his honesty, okay? I know you I know you're a tough cookie right now. It's like that, okay? I'm looking for his honesty and compliance. That's all I'm asking for, okay? When's the last time you drank today? A little bit earlier. Okay. How long ago was that? A couple hours, about two. Two hours ago? Okay. What did you drink? I had about a beer. Have you eaten at all today? Yes, I had a sandwich, ham sandwich. When was the last time you ate? About two and a half hours ago. They had food over there and they had uh food, which was also as well a chicken sandwich as well as chicken dumplings. How much did you sleep today? Roughly today, about 6 hours. It was an awkward situation. As both were police officers in the surrounding area, they were familiar with one another. Still, in a situation like this, the bond between police officers doesn't supersede the law. Listen, man. Listen, I I can tell you you're drinking. Just being honest with you. I don't I know me and you go way back, but we're here right now, okay? You got that? Okay. All right, listen. How much How much of an influence do you feel like now? I'm fine. You're fine? Yes. Okay. Do you still feel like there's alcohol in your system? No. I don't feel so. Okay. All right, James. We have to do a couple things here, right? Okay. All right, can I can I check you out? Go on. Okay. While James was performing field sobriety tests with the officer, a passenger vehicle pulled up at the scene. It was a relative who had heard the news and was desperate for information regarding the safety of his loved ones in the vehicle that James hit. Can you please stop? No, you can't be driving I'm trying to see my mom. Can you please stop? >> one, you can't be driving like that. >> driving. Stop. >> to cause another accident. >> No, you need to stop. I'm not doing anything. I'm not doing anything to you. You see how you're driving on the road? >> doing anything. Relax. I don't. Just keep him calm. Keep him calm. This is horrible, man. It was an absolutely pathetic attempt to walk a straight line. It was obvious that James was highly intoxicated. Why on earth he thought he was in any condition to get behind the wheel was anyone's guess, but his life, along with the lives of his victims, would never be the same. Did you see that passenger acknowledge that as they pulled her out? Well, I think she's in shock, number one, and she's got a compound fracture, so she's probably in an emergency room. What's that? Yes. Okay. He told them his firearms are home. Okay. I don't know where he's got that. At this point, if he's got PC one or Oh, yeah. It is what it is. Yeah, no lie. I'm not even Not so I'm just saying that all right. That's irrelevant other than the firearm information. >> That's the only reason I asked. I can't I don't >> know. I know I heard I don't know. He's one leg standing and kept going off. I don't know. I mean Well, but multiple people still alcohol and I'm so I mean it's going to depend on what the blood has here and I mean we'll see. Keep it objective. That that's great bodily harm for you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. She was breathing. She might have. The vehicle contained a mother, her two children, and their grandmother. According to reports, the family was one block away from their home when the accident occurred. They were coming back from celebrating one of the children's birthdays. I was at high school. Who was it? Who was it? Who? Where does he work? South side. off See See both. Trying to get to my spot right now. Uh 2525 over there. And then that uh the the negative one So you don't you don't got to get on it right now or anything? No, I got nothing. Can you check it quick? The breathalyzer confirmed what everyone already knew. James was way over the legal limit to drive. He had brought Shane to the uniform that he would never wear again. And with that, there was only one thing left to do. Is that Is one too tight? Is it too tight if I if I try to put this one on there? Does that hurt you? No. Take a deep breath. Back at the police station, the reality of his actions finally sank in. It really goes to show that one bad decision can change the course of your life forever. Let that be a reminder to never drink and drive. All right. So, in between when I talked to you last, I got the call from Winnebago. The coroner's office called. Maxine passed away. Passed from her injuries. So, she's deceased. Um So, the SA has advised to charge the reckless homicide for the for the for the crash. Um the IDUI for the for the death injury on DUI, and then DUI in the traffic crash or the traffic citations. So, [sighs] that's what we completed. That's what you're being charged with. That's what you're left to go over and see the judge about. Okay? Do you have any questions for me about that? No. Trust. James was charged with aggravated DUI and reckless homicide. He pleaded guilty to one count of class two felony DUI causing death. He faces between 3 and 14 years in prison with a statutory requirement to serve 85% of the term under Illinois law. Police work is a tough job. Even those that are new in the force should know that there is no room for mistakes and being a rookie is often not a good enough excuse. And even with just one major mistake, a rookie cop could destroy his promising career. I don't know where we lost him.
