Could I see your ID? >> What laws am I breaking? >> Like I said, right now I'm just investigating trying to figure out what's going on, who I'm talking to. >> Well, I can smell that there's burnt rubber right here. >> 100% there is indeed a warm spot right there on my property. >> This is Brooke, a homeowner in Brevard County, Florida, caught in a dynamic roadside ID battle after a toxic neighbor repeatedly called dispatch to report reckless tire burnouts. Instead of a typical aggressive escalation or physical restraint, this contact evolves into an absolute master class in professional de-escalation and private cartilage counseling. >> Okay. >> Could I see your ID? >> What laws am I breaking? >> Like I said, right now I'm just investigating trying to figure out what's going on, who I'm talking to. >> Well, when you can give me a law that I'm actually breaking, then I'll give you my ID. >> Okay, well, right now >> law are you accusing me of >> What I am trying to do is figure out what's what's going on.

I'm trying to figure out what's happening right now and who I'm talking to. >> You have no reason to ID me at this point. Until you're until you're going to until you actually accuse me of breaking any laws Well >> What law am I breaking? >> Right now it seems like with all the burnout on the roadway that's definitely something worth investigating. >> Okay. Can you investigate that that was done today? >> I have >> Or can you articulate that that was done today? >> I have I I have eyewitnesses that said that you're driving recklessly >> on the roadway. >> Yes, on the roadway that I could clearly see that everything burnt out. >> Well, if you want to put a a temperature meter right there that's the only thing that's hot right there is in my property. >> Okay. >> So, when you can accuse me of a crime, I will gladly give you my ID. >> What's going on about that? >> I'm driving. >> Hey, who's driving? >> I'm not. >> You're not driving? >> Again, I am a proud supporter. I appreciate everything you guys do. >> So, again, if if you haven't done anything wrong and you're not concerned with anything, then why are you sitting back? >> Because they've called the cops on me like 50 times, dude. This has been an issue over and over and over again. And honestly, it's >> ask you a question? All in all, right right now, I'm just trying to talk to you. >> No, no. That I can I can I can tell. >> I've never came out. All that I can tell you is I could smell that there's burnt rubber right here. >> And there indeed is. There indeed is. Look, feel this. It's still warm. There indeed is, right there. 100% there is indeed a warm spot right there on my property. >> so you're saying that that did just happen recently? >> In my yard. >> Sure. Okay. Yeah, that that's in a public roadway, right? Which would be a traffic violation for reckless >> I just did that today and that that's that's when that was done? >> I mean, by your own statements, it's still warm. >> This is. >> We're not trying >> By my own statement, that is warm. I am pointing at that one spot. >> to go here. >> Warm spot? >> All the marks directly in front of your house. >> What are you going to charge me with? >> I'm not charging you with anything. >> All right. Listen, I'm My frustration isn't you. I I've explained to him I am a proud supporter of the Brevard County Sheriff's Department. I love everything you guys are doing. I would support you. I would go in a parade to support the Brevard County Sheriff's Department. I'm tired of him calling the cops on me every couple weeks and and giving me a hard time. >> you for an ID, you're trying to resist him trying to do all this stuff. >> for it. I'm >> trying to figure out what's going on. I'm in my driveway. There's nothing you can you can just go over there and tell him there's nothing you can do. It's not just If you could prove that I did that today, then okay. I'll give you my ID. Or that I did that at all. >> Okay. >> I did That's that's >> What's your name? Just tell me your name. >> First name. >> Okay. >> You don't need it. >> What do I call you? Bro? Okay. >> Sir. >> Um So, why why do you think he's calling you? Is it just he doesn't like you? Like why is he calling you? >> just It's why he doesn't like me. >> Okay. Um Did you have a conversation with him? >> No, he was over here yelling at me before. >> What was he saying to you? >> I don't want to get into it. I'm not tit-for-tat. I'm not breaking any laws. >> Okay. So, whatever you do in privacy of your own home, I don't care. >> Privacy what? >> Of your own home. >> Yeah, yeah, of course. >> Your own driveway. >> Yeah. I'm definitely not blocking his driveway. [clears throat] I'm definitely not blocking his driveway. Yeah, I know. I know. >> Um if you're being loud, they can complain to you and it is an ordinance violation. >> At 8:00 or something like that. There's still a time. There's still a decibel. >> Decibel, yes. No time, though. >> So, you'd have They'd have to prove that there's a certain decibel. I mean, anybody can hear. You can hear that, and it's electric. So, you'd have to prove the decibel. >> Okay. >> And I agree. I'm not arguing with you. I'm not arguing with you. >> I'm just saying the things and the ways people might try to get you, okay? >> I understand. >> Another thing is if you're screaming back and forth at him, and I don't know, he calls his buddy over here and he's like, "Hey, are you bothered by this?" Disorderly conduct. >> Yeah. >> All these options that have nothing to do with >> I mean, we could try it. >> You working on your car, you know? >> I mean, we could try it. >> Don't try it. I'm telling don't try it. >> I mean, I'm tired of him basically yelling at me for every little thing. He's been sitting here trying to tell me how to live. And you know, it's just ridiculous. >> Really? And I I'm sure it's a back and forth. I'm sure if I look up his history, there's going to be a history. >> Um honestly, I've never called the cops on him. >> No? >> No, ever. The only one thing I've ever done is how it all started actually is because I did a bunch of yard work for him. I mean, when I tell you a bunch, I mean, I literally tore dirt, big holes up in his yard, removed trees and everything else. And he didn't say thank you, but you know what? I don't care. I don't care. I really don't care. But when I put up a fence at one point and I attached like one or two screws to it so that I could block off so I could have my dogs in the backyard or whatever, I came home one day and it was on the ground, but he had put up this whole brand new fence without a permit. That's the only thing I ever did. I called the county on him and said, "He put up a fence without a permit." The only thing. Never called the cops, nothing. But he's always calling the cops on me because of me parking and whatever else. My wife came home and was like, "An inch on his grass just now." >> Hey, we'll be petty, okay? >> I know. >> I I don't >> So >> I want you getting in trouble because somebody wants to call you. >> nice attitude. This guy obviously clearly doesn't understand that I do support the Fairfax County Sheriff's Department. And had you maybe come up to me and ID me, I wouldn't have pushed back on him so much. >> That's enough. I mean, I don't know what you're doing. I'm not going to speculate on what you're doing here, but if it's seen and it's on a public roadway, it's blocking traffic and criminal possible cause. >> I understand. >> be smart. >> I know. I am. >> I know you don't think people with cameras are people with cameras. If I really wanted to >> I can tell you today private property. >> Keep it there. >> Exactly. >> You want to tear up your driveway, you do that. >> That's that's exactly what I was doing. >> Keep it on your property. >> I'm telling you that. Thank you. Have a good day. >> Case details. Initial call, vengeful neighbor lodging a history of reckless driving complaints.
