It shows up as confidence that nothing will happen to you. >> And I see my dad like on top of my mom pinning her down to the couch. >> That belief tends to last right up until reality steps in. These are the moments when people in power think they are untouchable.

The accused was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. Moving on to the next case where control inside a relationship starts disguising itself as rules and one person quietly decides they get to enforce them. What begins as a simple argument over a phone quickly spirals into something far more physical and far more telling. By the time police arrive, the outcome is already locked in. This was never going to end cleanly. >> I was just headed to the um gas pumps cutting through here. I was like, well, damn. I'm right down the street. >> Mhm. Hey there, Officer Win. Everything okay? >> Uh, yeah. My mom is in my sister's room with you, guys.

We've been going through a hard time and in the process of filing for divorce. >> Mhm. >> Today he he received a package, but I know what it is. It's all his gummies that they ship here. And I said, "I'm done with it. Don't bring that stuff in my house." So I videoed the box. >> So I videoed him with the box. >> Mhm. He slapped the photo out of my hand and then came after me and pushed me in the corner of that couch and pulled my hair and pushed me and my daughter. My daughter witnessed it. >> How much do the one that's with quarter right now? Okay. You say he slept his phone on here. Is your phone damaged or anything like that? No, it's all okay. Do you have any marks on you? >> Just Yeah, Dad is in his office right now. >> God, it's going [laughter] to be okay. It would have been worse if you didn't.

But you don't want me to get you I saw you declined the ambulance and everything. >> Okay. >> What did you see? I I heard them yelling when I got home >> and um >> Well, y'all brought the box in. >> Yeah, we I brought the box in and I saw that it was for my dad. I didn't know what was in it >> and I don't open packages for my parents. >> Yeah. >> And I gave it to um my grandma, which then gave it to either my dad or her. >> My dad. >> My dad. And then I went back into my room to put my stuff up. And I heard my dad walk like right by the den, right by that couch right there. >> And I come walking out of my room that's right there. And I saw and I see my dad like on top of my mom pinning her down to the couch. >> Pinning her down to the couch. >> He's not arguing anymore. He's trying to win. That's where control replaces reason. >> And then like trying to grab the phone out of her hand. >> Mhm. And then like she and then she gets she falls down on the ground and is caught up in a ball trying to hold her phone and he's just trying to grab her phone out of her hand. >> Mhm. >> And besides the holding her down and stuff and trying to grab the phone, do you see anything else? >> Mm. Um, do you happen to have a driver's license or anything like that? >> Uh, I just student ID. >> Yeah. >> Um, ma'am, do you have your license with you by chance? >> I have to go in the kitchen and get it. It's >> fine. I can walk with you. And your other daughter, did she see anything? >> She heard it. >> She heard it. >> Kiki. >> Yeah. >> Can you come here, buddy? >> Hey, I'm Officer W. Um, so I understand your parents are a little bad. Do you do you know what? Like, can you tell me anything about what happened? Um, I was asleep, but um, I just heard him screaming to give her his phone or her phone. >> And then I heard her purses in the office >> going back and forth and then she was screaming that she needed help and then um, my little sister I think went out there. >> Okay, gotcha. >> I didn't see anything, just her. >> Okay, gotcha. >> Terry saw it. >> Yeah.

Come on out here. have a seat post while we find out what's going on. >> Okay. >> You um y'all didn't get in there physical, did you? >> Well, she was trying to record me against my will and we have a a policy within our marriage that uh we don't do that. And I was trying to get her phone and I wouldn't say it was a other than she didn't want to give me her phone and I left the house. >> Notice how it shrinks down to just a phone. That's how bigger things get minimized. >> You ain't hit her or anything. You were just trying to grab the phone. >> No, nobody was hit. Nobody was >> Okay. >> Nobody was approached. I didn't instigate it. I just asked for her phone simply because she was recording me when I was asked her not to record me and I've done that repeatedly. So, I'm sorry that it involves you, but I don't I don't feel like it should. >> Okay. [clears throat] Well, one of the officers back there talking to her, so we'll see what she says.

It's a line being crossed. >> And then after after that, he got really mad and just stormed off and slayed them. >> Okay. Uh, and when he was pinning her to the ground, like was he holding her by her arms or like >> he he was grabbing her by her arms, holding her down? >> Yeah. I've got bruises on my knees. >> Okay.

Can I before I leave, before you detain me, >> I need to get a message to call the client that I was going to meet. He's 78 years old. Can I at least get a >> I can pass along a phone number to the wife to give him the call. >> Can I look up the number? >> Yeah. Yeah. Um, is it is there a facial recognition or does it have to be pass? Um, what's the password? >> So, just watch yourself getting in. Um, best way I've seen people do it is um left foot onto the stepping board and then right foot in. >> Or you can try sitting down like that. >> I mean, it's just this is really like god damn this hurt. Is there either too tight or is there any way >> I got I can get another I can get a second. >> The shock isn't about what happened. It's about finally being held to it. setting cuffs on, but I've got down to a second. >> Slam the door and take >> I'm not trying to slam off your leg, sir. >> Well, no. I mean, >> I'm just saying can is is it necessary if I'm back here to have them on? >> Yes, sir. It's per our policy and procedure. >> As you can see, I'm not used to it. >> Yeah. If I had I have the new >> It's about It's about a 20-minute drive. >> To where? >> To Alfred Jail. Can you scoot in any further? >> Not really. God. Dang it, man. It's my left hand. Is he just getting >> All right, here. Hold on just a second. I'm going to get myself together like this. >> Jesus. You have like zip ties or something. >> No, I can get a second pair of cuffs. Just give me just a second. Okay. >> The 17 or the 45. >> I'm going to take the one. You said it's your left hand that's bugging you right now. It's really Yeah, it's either it's just on my phone or like I said something I experience. >> Yeah, I know it's not it's not made for pleasure or anything like that. It's just so knocking your phone out of your wife's hand is >> Yes, sir. Anything? >> He asks if it counts. Deep down, he already knows it does. >> If you try to slap at her hand or anything like that. Yes, sir. >> And even if she doesn't agree to that? >> No, sir. because it falls under the Family Violence Act in Georgia. So, the state has decided has ruled that when it comes to terms of family violence and everything like that, well, I got to double lock so they don't cinch up anymore on you. Okay. >> Huh? >> I got to I got to I got to double lock these so they don't cinch up anymore. They don't get tighter on you as we drive and everything. >> I'm not certain you solve the problem. Two seconds. I got to get on here. All right. There we go. But um so the way it works state decided when it comes to family violence things certain relationships um they fall they uh land privy with um like people who live in the same household or certain relationships and everything like that when certain crimes are committed with simple battery being one of them with slapping her in like actually hitting the phone and everything like that. >> That's okay. I just >> we can we can press charges on behalf of the victim. Right. >> Okay. in in our Johns Creek Police Department policy when it comes to family violence, if there's enough evidence, testimonial and physical, we shall make an arrest. And that's why that's why we're here right now. >> Okay. I I So, it doesn't matter that I can assure you my wife doesn't want to press charges. So, is she going to have to come and say I don't want to press charges? I mean >> I mean, >> she doesn't want to press charges. still trying to control the outcome from the back seat. >> Yeah, but it doesn't like we're pressing charges on her behalf as the state. This is I just don't understand I like I said this is a marital issue that didn't involve violence. >> No, the slapping slapping her hand with the phone and violence. I mean, I don't know what you consider violence, but you know, >> intentionally making contact with somebody in in a >> statement. Guys, it's not someone's face. I mean, you don't like to be videoed against your consent. >> Redefining violence doesn't erase it. It just exposes how far he's willing to bend the truth. >> You know, I I just asked not to be video. Do I not have that right? >> I mean, you can ask. You don't lay hands on people. >> Okay. I didn't lay my hand on somebody. >> Okay. Well, this is running around in circles. So, let me start. >> All right, Mr. So, this is our case number. Um, and then this there's also a couple uh So, this whole pamphlet is about your rights as a victim, right? >> Okay. >> Um, I would highly suggest you call and about obtaining a restraining order. The >> I'm talking to my my um lawyer right now. >> Okay. Um, but otherwise, so the reason I understand you don't want them arrested. So, in Georgia, there's an act called the Family Violence Act, right? And what it establishes is that between certain relationships of people and certain crimes being committed between those relationships or people within those relationships, we as the state have the ability to press charges on your behalf. The way the John Street Police Department's policy is written when we have enough evidence, whether it be testimonial or physical with the red marks on you, your arm, your knees, and the video you showed me and everything, that's more than enough evidence for me. I shall make an arrest on the primary aggressor. Okay? I understand this isn't what you want, but my hands are tied at this point. Okay. I'm taking him right now to the Alpharetta jail. Um it's right over across the street from the Avalon. Uh I don't know if he'll be able to postpond or anything like that. That's up to the judge. Um >> Oh my god. >> But does he know your phone number? He only has to get uh Larry Delane's phone number, his attorney, >> and that was it. And that's [snorts] our solicitor. >> But >> can I just give you his phone? >> I have it with me. >> Okay. He's got it in there. >> Yeah. His his uh his phone and his wallet. >> Yeah. >> But otherwise, um I'm going to get out of your hair. I'm sorry we had to meet like this. >> But I'm glad that you called. I didn't want it to escalate or anything like that. >> Okay, I really appreciate y'all. >> The accused was charged with simple under George's Family Violence Act. Moving on to the next case where a man tries to lean on authority instead of accountability. But the moment he starts talking, it's clear that Badge isn't going to save him. What begins as confidence quickly turns into quiet desperation. And from here, this was never going to end cleanly. >> Stay in your vehicle. Get back in your car. >> I'm >> drunk. >> No, I'm the captain. >> Huh? >> Drunk and already trying to sound important. Bad combination. >> A what? >> Captive >> of what? The big Don't reach in your pocket. Get back in your car. >> 116 Show me 106 on Henry Lincoln Edward 497. >> Have a seat. I I will. I'm not. >> You've been drinking tonight? >> I just got a ride. >> You've been drinking the night, sir? >> I'm a captain on the police department. >> What police department? >> Pulling rank before proving sobriety. This is where the story writes itself. >> Say [music] camera. >> What division? >> Investigations. What are you doing pulling in here? My mom and I stay here. You've been drinking. >> How much we had to drink tonight, sir? >> Please. >> Huh? Turn the camera off. >> I'm not turning my camera off. >> Okay. >> Asking for the camera off this early means he knows exactly where this is headed. >> Go ahead and step out of the vehicle. You got to be kidding me. Yeah. We're not going to get a return on it. How much we drink tonight, sir? >> I was at a poker game. >> Uh-huh. Cuz you were swerving all over when you turn off. You didn't use your signal. I'm sorry. >> How much did you drink at your poker game? >> Not much. >> Not much. How much is not much? >> I don't know. >> Beer, liquor.

Moving on to the next case where authority meets accountability in the worst way possible. A judge who should know the system inside out ends up on the wrong side of it. What starts as quiet denial quickly turns into something harder to hide. And this was never going to end cleanly. when she tried to get around my I have a towing mirrors for a pickup truck.
