We haven't shot anybody for for a reason and for no reason. We have never shot anybody. Neither one of us has shot anybody. We never shot anybody. And and nobody says to shoot anybody.

My parents my family want me to come home. And we want that, too. What's your last name, sir? Why? Cuz I just want to know who I'm talking to. Our last names are displayed on our tags, so that's why I was asking your last name. >> No, you know me. No, I don't know you. First time I see you. >> I don't know you, either. That's why I was asking your last name. >> Do you work here or you just you you patron here? I don't know. It shouldn't be so sad. No, this one for the Yeah. I'm going to close my door. I haven't no crime crime. Okay. Well, so how >> listen. Have I committed a crime? Well, you're drunk in public, so yes. No. Have I committed a crime? Being drunk in public is a crime. Okay, then. If you ask Well, you asked if you had committed a crime, I'm telling you. If you're drunk in public, that's a crime. I'm just telling you, okay? There's enough ordinances and laws in the state to where you doing anything you can commit a crime. It's whether the DA wants to prosecute or not or a business wants to prosecute or not that where the there's no victim, there's no crime. You see what I'm saying? That's all. All right. So, you asked if you committed a crime, I told you yes. So. So, you saying this is your car, right? It's not your car? I don't even know whose car it is. I'm sorry? I don't know whose car it is. So, you sleeping in somebody's car that you don't even know whose car is it? I'm just tired. So, you telling me you haven't been drinking? I'm just tired. I've seen tired people before. I ain't even going nowhere. Huh? I'm not even going nowhere. Well, I'm I'm I'm you're not even going anywhere? Well, I don't know. You may the keys on the floorboard, you may put the keys in the ignition and put it in the drive, you know, and you you know. So, I don't know. As I said, as you said, I don't know you. You have a family? I don't know if you do or you don't. You may just say that. All right. You don't have to throw them on the ground. It's it's you know, the the remote controls >> You got You got them. from the from the cars are expensive to to to fix these days, you know? I don't need your keys. I want to I just I just need your ID. I mean, we have your tag, you know, we you know, we know the owner of the tag, but just I want to know who you who I'm dealing with. We are man, we are trying to be nice. I'm trying to be nice. We can always go the other way. So, now we can we can fingerprint you. Once we take you to jail, we can fingerprint you, we can find out who you are, you know? I'm telling you who I am. It's complete No, you never told me you who you are. Tell me. Have I Have I I a crime by sitting in the parking lot? As my partner said a minute ago, yes you did. You drank in public. In a parking lot. But again, you're also parked in handicap. Okay, and then So, here Hey man, here's the thing. I asked you for your last name, you didn't want to give us that. Okay? We're just trying to make sure everything's is okay. I'm not doing anything wrong. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Listen. We're trying to make sure everything's okay. Trying to make sure that the car belongs to you cuz if it does, then that's fine. But all we ask are some basic questions like, "What's your last name?" I didn't even ask for your ID. I just said, "What's your last name, sir?" That's all I asked. I can't run a person based on their last name, correct? I can't. That's why I was just asking what your name is so I can address you by your last name. That's what I was trying to be polite, man. And asking me this, right? >> Yeah. How about I done anything wrong? >> explained that. I already explained that. Here's the thing, man. I know you're impaired right now because I've asked answered that question already and you've asked it two more times. Okay? My training knowledge and experience would lead a reasonable person to believe if I answer someone's question once and then they turn around and ask ask the same question twice expecting a different answer, that leads a reasonable person to believe that something's going on, right? >> Mhm. That's why we're explaining this. Here's the thing. Are you drunk in public? Yes. Have you committed a crime? That is a crime. Is it a Is it an arrestable offense? Yes. All we're trying to do is ID you, make sure everything's okay, make sure this car belongs to whoever it is cuz you said you don't know whose car it is. Make sure the car is not stolen. If it's yours, cool. No worries. That's all we're asking, man. Cuz here's the thing. If someone is heavily impaired and they made the wise decision of just sleeping in their car to sleep off the impairment versus driving, both of us are 100% down the road with that. We think that's the most responsible thing you can do. But when a person who is possibly impaired is not answering our questions and obstructing what we need to do to put away our ARS, our articulable reasonable suspicion, then we have obstruction. So, you're asking have you committed a crime? Drunk Drunk in public, number one. You're obstructing what we need to do, number two. So, you've committed two crimes right there, okay? So, what's your last name, sir? I haven't done anything What's the last name, sir? I haven't done What's the last name, sir? I haven't That's last name. So, you You can give me your last name or we can take your ID from you. What do you want to do? I haven't done anything What What do you want to do? So, is is is there anything wrong with me sitting here? Well, one, you're parked in handicap. Two, you're impaired. Three, you're drunk in public. Four, you're obstructing what we're needing to do. So, you can answer the basic questions that we're asking, we can move on in life, or you can keep playing this game of what crime have I committed. What have I done wrong? >> I told you already. The fact that you can't remember is not my fault. I haven't done anything So, what have you not done wrong? Tell me. Nothing. I just pulled up. Well, I explained. You pulled up. You pulled up what? You pulled up and parked here? Yeah. In the handicap spot? Okay, when did you pull up and park here? How long ago? I haven't done anything >> Again, I asked a question. You said you pulled up and parked here. How long ago? I haven't done anything wrong, though. Okay. You parked on the disabled spot, handicap spot. Do you have a handicap sticker? Yeah, it's right there. Where? On the window. The one that you just put up a second ago? No, it's right here. >> Okay, I'm just asking. I'm just asking. Okay. I haven't done anything wrong. I was waiting I was waiting >> What? It says expired 2019, no? No, I was waiting on somebody to pull up right here. What does it say? Expired 2019. The sticker. I haven't done anything Your handicap tag's expired, man. What tag expired? Look, man. Just answer the question of who you are. That's all I want to >> What have I done? I already told you. I explained it three times already. I don't know how many more times have I explained it to a a non-impaired person. They would already understood that by now. That's why I know you're impaired, man. So, what's the last name? That's all I need to know. All I need to know. I haven't done anything >> Again, last name. Who is your probably 27? Huh? Who is your probably what? I said why? Cuz I haven't done anything wrong. Okay, I explained that you're drunk in public, right? You No, no, no. I explained that you were drunk in public, right? Right? And then I asked you that you needed to identify yourself so we could confirm who this car is is because you said it's not yours and you're obstructing what we're doing, right? So, that's obstruction. So, I explained both those charges, right? So, you're hindering law enforcement officers from doing their duty, obstruction, on answering some basic questions because from my training knowledge and experience, it shows that you're impaired because you stated that you drove into this parking spot or you moved your vehicle. So, I'm trying to confirm that this car's not stolen cuz I haven't run it yet. I'm trying to confirm it's your car or it's not your car, whose car it is. You can't even answer that question cuz I can tell you who owns my car, the City of Doraville Police Department. I can tell you who owns that car, the City of Doraville Police Department. But you can't tell me who owns this car. >> Well, I'm not even driving. It doesn't matter that you're not driving, sir, cuz here's the thing. Is it possible for you to start the car and drive? No. Why not? You have the keys, right? I'm not even driving. I didn't say you were driving, did I? I said, "Is it possible for you to drive the vehicle?" What was my question? You can You can You can drive the car. Huh? You can drive the car. I'm not I don't know whose car this is, so how can I drive it? So, why would you Whose car is this? It might be your car. It might be my car. Then get out of my car. Okay. Then get out of my car. Okay. Okay. I'm out. Okay, all the way out back here. All the way out of my car. Cuz you said it's my car, so all the way out over here. I want you out of my car. You want to send me to jail drive >> No, no, no. I'm not taking you to jail, man. Why? You said this is my car. >> I'm not even driving the car. >> Did I say you were driving? No. Okay. Did And but you said this is possibly my car, right? >> Could be possibly your car. Okay. Cuz here's a couple things I know already. I know this is your car. You know how I know that? You know how I know that? Tell me how I know that. You tell me. No, I want you to tell me. You said you You said Cuz come on, Mr. Omar. You can't answer the question. Come on, man. Be honest with me, man. I don't care. I'm just parked in the car, man. I'm not even moving. I'm not even moving the car, though. Listen, listen, man. I don't care if you're impaired, man. Cuz here's the thing. I'm not trying to take you to jail. You are. >> No. No, no, no. I No, no. Listen. Hey, look look look look look look. Hand on the Bible in front of a judge. See my hand? Right hand up. Remember when you talk to a judge, right hand up. >> Well, I haven't been moving, though. Why Why are we having this conversation? I'm just trying to I I understand that, but listen. Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I need you to listen for a second, okay?

Person laid out. Are you dead? No. But we have to double-check, right? Yeah, and you're alive and I appreciate that. We know that you're impaired, but you're not driving. I'm not trying to hem you up on a DUI. No, listen. Listen. Because I'm trying to confirm whose car this is. But cuz I'm trying to confirm whose car this is and you won't tell me. All right, cool. I told you. I don't It's your car. Oh, it's my car. Yeah. So, if I walk off with the keys, you're cool with that? Lock you out of this car. What are you going to >> Yeah, that's cool. I I just walk. Where you going to walk to cuz then you're drunk in public now. >> I know how to walk. But you're drunk in public now. >> how to walk. So, where's your home at? You tell me I can walk.
