You keep walking up on me, when the investigation is over there. I'm recording everything that's going, SIR. NO ONE EVER entered No one did nothing. And that's illegal. That's illegal. You're wrong. Sir, it's not what you tell me, it's what the law tells me. It's what the law tells me. You are not the Constitution, sir. I'm sorry, I know my Constitution. My father I have family that are police. My auntie is a Texas Ranger, sir. You walked INTO MY SPACE. WHY IS HE BEING DETAINED? Listen to me. You can go to the curve Sir. or you can go to jail for interfering. I'm not going to jail for interference. You're going to make an unlawful arrest if you bother me with that. You are in my face bothering me pressing me. I'm not going to keep backing up because you keep stepping forward to me. I'm talking to the officer who made the arrest. You have nothing to do with this. They're already wrong and they know they can wrong. That's why they just backed the cop. They don't expect people to know what they're talking about when they come out here with their guns and their tasers and their badges. They go through 2 months of the academy and they push us out like a premature baby without knowing the law. They make cops look bad, bro. I swear to God. I swear to God, bro. In this encounter, officers approached a group claiming they were walking in a roadway using that to justify detention and ID demands. Under the Fourth Amendment, officers must articulate specific facts showing reasonable suspicion. At the same time, the First Amendment protects the right to record in public if there's no interference. What starts as a minor stop quickly becomes a conflict between police authority and constitutional rights. You have ONE, TWO YOU HAVE FEET. NO, SIR. YOU HAVE YOUR FEET, SIR. THAT'S ILLEGAL. I'M NOT doing nothing illegal, so you can call the backup you want. I KNOW MY LAW. SIR, I HAVE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KEEP GOING WITH YOUR PROCEDURE. NO, SIR. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KEEP GOING with your procedure, sir. You know THE LAW OR YOU DON'T KNOW THE LAW. YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN THE LAW VERY SOON, SIR. I'm not interrupting with your investigation. Sir, I know my law. I have the right to record as long as I'm not interfering with your investigation, sir. Sir, you now Now you're invading my space. I do not have to listen to anything you're saying. I'm not I'm not interfering. I'm not interfering. Here, the distinction between lawful observation and interference becomes critical. Courts have consistently held that recording from a reasonable distance without obstruction is protected activity. I don't have to be on the curve. I'm 10 ft away from you all. You just stepped into my presence. You're not over there, SIR. I HAVE every I know my law, sir. My father is a police, so I'm sorry. You're not telling me nothing new. Like this is illegal what you're telling me to do. It's illegal. It's illegal and you're violating constitutional rights, so I'm sorry. Y'all are peace officers. I have the right to record. You walked into MY SPACE. I KNOW. I KNOW and you walked You keep walking up on me when the investigation is over there. I'm recording everything that's going, SIR. NO ONE EVER ENTERED No one did nothing. And that's illegal. That's illegal. You're wrong. I'm sorry. You all are wrong. Do you have a supervisor? He is a supervisor. Okay. Do you have another supervisor because clearly you don't you respect the badge enough to know your law. When I tell you where to stand Sir, it's not what you tell me, it's what the law tells me. It's what the law tells me. You are not the Constitution, sir. I'm sorry, I know my Constitution. My father I have family that are police. My auntie is a Texas Ranger, sir. You walked INTO MY SPACE. WHY IS HE being detained? Sir, will you Will you answer why he's being detained or is this an unlawful arrest? Okay, so can you tell me why he's being detained? Yes. For pedestrian in a roadway and failure to ID. The officer now states the basis for the detention, walking in a roadway and failure to identify. Under the Fourth Amendment, both require lawful justification and failure to identify statutes typically apply only after a lawful detention. How is a pedestrian in a roadway when there are no sidewalks? 15 trip channel. That's That's illegal. That's illegal. You're making a false arrest right now and I have all of this on camera. What is your badge number, sir? 3183 >> Officer I'm sorry. B what? What does B stand for? I'm not telling you my name. All right, Corporal Drake. Thank you. I'm sorry. And your badge number, officer? Listen to me. You can go to the curve Sir. or you can go to jail for interfering. Sir, I'm not going to jail for interference. You're going to make an unlawful arrest if you bother me with that. At this point, the individual is asserting a First Amendment right to record and a Fourth Amendment challenge to the detention. Importantly, questioning police actions alone does not constitute interference unless it physically obstructs an investigation. You are in my face bothering me pressing me. I'm not going to keep backing up because you keep stepping forward to me. I'm talking to the officer who made the arrest. You have nothing to do with this. Sir, may I have your badge number, sergeant? And your name, please, sergeant? So now it's not it. Come on, like know your law, please, before you tell me anything. I'm not going to jail for nothing. I know my law. Like you want to lose your jobs. No, I wouldn't advise with me and cops. Sir, may I have your last name, Mr. Wong? And your badge number is, Mr. Wong? Mr. Wong, may I have your badge number, please? Don't give him no You don't have to You don't have to do anything. You don't have to give him your name. You don't have to. We're not being detained. We didn't do anything unlawful. Mr. Wong, may I have your badge number, please? Thank you, sir. Mr. I'm sorry, Winter. Winters. Your badge number, sir? All right, cool. Thank you. This is exactly why Excuse me, sir. Like why y'all trying to hide the information, the public information that is supposed to be given to the pedestrians? Like do they all just put y'all in Oh, now I sound crazy for knowing my law. They just put y'all in like 1 month of training and expect y'all to know like the entire law. I was 10 ft away from your investigation, whatever you was doing. That's the law. Y'all look crooked, bro. Y'all crooked and I got the freedom to say whatever I want. Where where where else is he supposed to Where is he supposed to walk, sir? Step on people's property? I'm asking you since everybody knows the law. You're the one who made the smart face like you knew. Okay, well, okay then. Very funny. Chris, just go. Just go. Just go. Go. Go. Is he being Is he being taken to the Arlington station? And you said for what again, Officer Wong? For walking in a public roadway and failure to identify? All right. Good luck with that, guys. They make cops look bad, bro. I swear to God. I swear to God, bro. I swear to God. This is a public place and I'm I'm actually about to become a patron, so I'm Okay. So we We appreciate you. You all are free to go. You all are free to go. You are free to go as well, sir. No one's doing anything else illegal. No one's walking in a roadway trying to Like God, ain't there stuff better to do out here? It's sad. No, it's Chris. Shut up. Shut up. They're already wrong and they know they can wrong. That's why they just backed the cop. They don't expect people to know what they're talking about when they come out here with their guns and their tasers and their badges. They go through 2 months of the academy and they push us out like a premature baby without knowing the law. This is how cop This is how lawsuits are filed like that. You really could have gave him a warning. You really didn't have to arrest him. Like That's how Y'all know y'all lie just to use your little badge. You know I must smell something. Like they can't. They got to come to work and goddamn feel like they This badge is their power. All these lies for what? Y'all act like somebody got hurt over here. I see. This encounter centers on two key principles. The First Amendment protects recording police in public if there's no interference. The Fourth Amendment requires specific articulable facts for any detention. Here, walking in a roadway and failure to identify raise legal questions, especially if no sidewalks existed. Without clear legal justification, continued enforcement may fall outside constitutional limits.
