mean I I can prove to you brother um I got officer Thompson who works for my PL PD who was up there he just calling an now I Well here here's the difference you're you're wearing a sheriff's office shirt you're wearing a definitely not a driving a cop car that's not a cop car you're doing private security at Home Depot you're representing yourself as a sheriff's deputy you're not here Mutual aid for the hurricane well sir as a reserve we can do that as a no no you have to be on Mutual Aid private security you're not here Mutual Aid representing your agency to help us out during time CU we have we have a lots of mutual Aid agencies that come here yes so you're again riding down a road in a civilian vehicle outfitted like a cop car with blue lights on there's a violation sorry about the blue light but like okay well we're not going to get past that right now I don't believe you I'm going to be straight up honest with you I don't believe it and I will never I will never put myself in a situation that I'll be what else you have in the vehicle other than a car a gun you have any drugs anything in there no no man I'm I'm clean I do I do security in Georgia that's that's just what we do you know uhhuh um and I'm reserved you can't do security unless you're reserved with the sheriff's office he doesn't know Reserve I went past Captain Garrison it went to the shareff you know it's just some people that don't appreciate you know I mean I've did s years with these guys right and well for right now we're going to detain you period I understand all right so go ahead and turn around we'll put your hands behind your back okay can um so your hand wind you back all right you need two two sub of cffs I okay make he there one on the car there's one in the car still I got my B that a security badge or a no that's my that's my my uh contr Sergeant yeah I so you w what yeah so now you're I'm reserved with count man I know I know how it seems man it's not like that you know 101 130 have a seat I'll get you some air rolling in there too so you going to have 130 tank yeah just transport cuz she's got to swap out her vehicle down at problem you did say had a 38m yeah and there's I'll let you search I if you find anything you find it how stupid can you I went through Home Depot this morning I seen that I'm like no tag so but it was the ferly trying to hide the identity that it's not a real C and he's and he's showing himself as a even and there was another guy that I didn't see when I first went through it was a guy wearing a badge gun on his hip with a sheriff shirt but then when I came back around is gone so it's this security yeah he wants to call the sheriff cuz the Garrison he doesn't know that he's Reserve he's en tie with the sheriff yeah so he can call call him from the jail even if he's a reserve you can you can't be doing this can't this he's out of his jurisdiction yeah from Georgia [Applause] he's play the that yeah without a doubt the P5 101 was asking if he can handle Che 101 cont for verification there's a brand new store bought shirt that says Sheriff let's switch her over him over to her and throw this ship back in we'll call sorry I read my BL I I don't do that you know like I you without and no tag is kind of like the whole kicker is we understand your private security I'd see your cards in there I get all that got all the sheriff I even get it if you say you're still a reserved Deputy but you can't represent yourself as a sheriff's deputy as a private security officer you can't run down the road with a car that resembles a cop car with blue lights yeah my verification through the agency that you were with that you are no longer employeed so based on all that this is what we're doing so you are under arrest for impersonating police officer okay if you work that out in court and it all washes out then so be it at this time that's where we're at that's what I'm doing that's what's going on if you just there's nothing I can do to change it now there's two weapons in there that I accounted for the one you were carrying there was also one in the console I have both those we're going to go into evidence I'm asking you please like this is a big state and you talk to the wrong person I talked to a captain of Ro Patrol I talked to several people Captain Garrison Captain Garrison does not he does not know sir you still have no jurisdiction down here to be running around with BL lights even if that were the case yeah you're outside of your St yes it goes right back to what I just said you're working as private security but you're you're wearing all these Sheriff's insignias you represented yourself to me when I stopped you as a sheriff sergeant not as a private security from Georgia but not as private security you said oh we're here working you are as private security I understand Georgia but you can't represent yourself as a sheriff so I can't represent myself as from Georgia being deployed Down Home Depot no you're not deployed as Mutual Aid you're here doing private contract that's two different things I got all right go ahead and have a seat for me next
