our vicinity I will take you to jail step back step back no go ahead no no go ahead put your phone down6 I'll get it 6234 man show me white me T you need routine I asked you to stay off our scene no you're not staying off our scene you're interacting and I ask you to stay back Deputy rosi handcuffed Mr Nathanson and placed him in a police vehicle claiming he wasn't staying away from the scene the law generally protects the right to film police in public as long as it doesn't interfere with their duties since Mr Nathanson was filming from a safe distance he could argue that his right to record was violated when Deputy race handcuffed him potentially infringing on his first and Fourth Amendment rights I'll speak to you in a minute have a [Music] seat how do you how do you communicate [Music] this all you need okay here I'll tell you what listen to what I'm telling you okay I've asked you not to interfere nope I asked you not to interfere you ended up communicating over here when I told you you couldn't then you Contin continue to pass the Line in the Sand why I asked you not to okay we're not going to play this game I understand what you're trying to do but right now we already have enough tension going on with what's going on over here do you understand that okay so so right now you need to just respect what we're doing okay and we're going to go from there all right stand up just put your hand on top of your head as soon as I take the Handcuff out okay keep it keep it on your head for me go ahead and have a seat back in the car have a seat back in the car I would like the supervisor okay have a [Music] seat hey uh yeah you guys in the area or any of you in the area all right uh there's a gentleman who was coming up on our scene while we're dealing with a traffic accident and he's trying to video and film us I ask him to step back he starts interacting with our uh victim suspect or the vehicle accident I asked him to not interact or interfere step back past the line he's still over here trying to film us he's detained in the backseat of my car while we're conducting our our business here on the traffic stop um he's requesting a supervisor with Delta 9 or I'm sorry Delta 14 yeah yes sir your I because I didn't I didn't I asked him not to to pass the line he's coming over here I I tell him that we're not to interact over here he's coming over he's getting up to our cars filming it filming us while we're trying to do what we're doing I asked him please step back I'll talk to him afterwards and he's still trying to interact with us so I detained him because it's getting little ridiculous Deputy razi contacted a supervisor to report the situation but gave a version that didn't match the body camera footage he claimed that he instructed Mr Nathanson not to cross a line which Nathanson supposedly ignored however the footage shows rosace never mentioned a line only telling Nathanson to stay on the sidewalk and Away From The Scene razi also stated that Nathanson approached the police vehicles after being told to stay back but the video shows Nathanson complied and didn't attempt to approach the vehicles again finally rosatti asserted that Nathan was trying to interact with the officers when he was detained but in truth Nathanson was quietly filming from a public sidewalk at a safe distance from the accident scene yes sir yes sir I I I just have him detained right now I don't really care I mean I'll take him to jail but right now I'm just trying to get done what we're doing because we've got a parents showing up uh both subjects are arguing back and forth and everybody he was NOP he was not he just showed up to to film us he's got his little information he wants to handle hand us while we're on the scene and he's a guy who who has a who can't talk he has to use a machine to talk so I don't know if you're familiar with him all right so it looks like we're about ready to be done here and I'm good to set them free but at the end of the day I mean that's just where we're at right now yep 10 all right thanks all right driving unregistered uninsured what about the traffic the uh the um yeah I didn't D I am recording all the time I don't no fair enough just letting you know you do here I'm sorry what are you doing with this dud well would you let him go I I I I it's up to him I mean I'll get him for obstruction but right now I'm just I'm just trying to make sure that we don't have all these people coming over to us hey Rach yeah St I think it was trying to hook up my car um yeah so it was a signal 4 I was at the gas station getting a drink and there was a signal 4 involving uh looks like a great Chrysler yeah and then and then um shortly after that some gentleman shows up uh he's got a speech issue he can't talk he has talk by using a machine so he comes over he's literally right up to the door of my car filming up in there there and he's just some Joe citizen has nothing to do with this situation or this accident um I told him to step back that he is impeding our investigation and he will be placed in handcuffs he needs to step back and he's telling me like he's I can't say he's telling me he is holding up a sign and and I kind of know what his deal is but he's not rapid to move so I escorted him to the sidewalk and I said you can stay over here you can film us as much as you want do not cross line over here we're doing an investigation I do not need you interacting cuz then he goes and he's interacting with the uh the um people in the accident so he's over there interacting with them so I told him do not come back do not interact do not cross my line uh or I will put you in handcuffs and so he does and I go ahead and put him in handcuffs and escort him to the car but yes sir yes sir yes sir well I right now I'm I'm good with as long as I can get him for obstruction but right now I just wanted to make sure that everything is safe here so he Delta 14 can do his investigation and as long as he's not I mean if if you know yeah he's detained right now yes sir yes sir okay yes sir we do yes absolutely I agree thanks do you want are you coming out here not no need to right perfect sounds good yes all right so here's the deal all right you are going to be placed under arrest for obstruction okay you listen to me all right if you have a if you have a complaint or or you want you can talk to him listen listen to me you're not going to okay have a nice day deputy sheriff rosi arrested Mr Nathanson for obstruction under the relevant article of the Florida Statutes which punishes resisting or opposing the lawful duties of an officer without violence rosace claimed in his affidavit that Nathanson walked toward the scene and disobeyed a final order to retreat leading to his arrest however body camera footage shows Nathanson initially complied by stepping back but returned to his original position on the sidewalk when rosatti ordered him to move move further back nathansen tried to explain where he was standing but rosatti arrested him given that nathansen was in a public space and the first amendment protects the right to film it's questionable whether Rosati's commands were lawful under Florida law failure to follow an unlawful order does not count as obstruction making it unlikely that nathanson's actions met the legal standard for obstruction all right sir listen listen to what I'm going to tell you okay you're already hard enough to understand I'm not going to sit here and have a conversation with you when every time I do you talk over me we're not going to do it okay so when we get to the jail we can establish everything that you need you need your your stuff is in the car and you'll have it when we get to the jail do you need Medics do you need Medics when when you get to the jail you can ask the the I they will have yes they will they'll have what you need okay sorry I asked you to step off the scene and stop interacting yep I'm hot I'll tell you so all right so this vehicle cut across while I was getting a drink at the gas station cuts across into the lane of traffic and gets hit okay they immediately get out engage the driver start hitting on the door so it turns into a 22 verbal right in the middle of the the road so I got everybody separated got them to come over here while we're over here and he's doing what he's got to then then Grandma shows up who's over there and I asked her to step off the scene and go back there she's back there she's not bother but she was all up in here videoing so I asked her to step back she she did then all of a sudden the guy who doesn't talk you know what I'm talking about you do who uses the machine to talk into comes over he literally right up at my window and he's sitting there recording in my car and all over and I said sir we don't need this right now we're in the middle of an investigation I need you to take your take it over there and then he comes over and he starts talking to them getting in the middle of the investigation told him if he's if he cross the line again I'm going to go ahead and put him in TOS so he's unrelated to this whole in totally unrelated okay 100% I went ahead and uh placed him under yeah so he's he's under arrest nothing on your window everything was on right this was on the whole time yeah yeah yeah so um but did he imped his investigation yes so he was in so we're sitting here trying to let him do what he's got to do as far as this and so yes it's his investigation but ultimately you're hold the yeah I love it that's the guy that always that's the guy who came up to me and you with the gas station yeah he's what he's trying to do is he's trying to to trying to get arrested so that he can somehow accuse us of violating his rights so that's what he's doing you gave him numerous commands Okay we have the second car the second car already left so I think yeah she has unregistered motor vehicle no insurance um so he just dealing with that obviously she cut across the lanes of traffic oh okay pretty good damage well it's nice not to get lunch again he's 100% working the crash yeah in the sh it's hot not going to lie to you we were coming out here saying what nonsense it's dellan man I'm tell all right I I get it this uh I've I've dealt this guy a few times and this has been well it was one thing when I just when it's them and we're going to try and handle it but then he comes over and starts to interject and add in see yeah yeah cuz they got Delta 9 on the KP hole sorry I still got to come work now when they got the KP hold the cover super do what he want well now that you're here I'm going to go ahead and take my guy just make sure that he's good no but he's got a few citations he expects that they're going to be oh yeah yeah upset so that's why he asked me to stay so all right I'm going to go ahead and get out of here uh you got two deputies over here okay yeah you need anything else from me no I'm I'm trying to finish this up I was just getting ready to type in the amount she put me on that Delta 15 call and ask you to do I might ask you to do an AOA report on this all right but I'll call you later you didn't leave anything in the car did you you don't have anything on you that what is it no you're fine listen to me listen to me all right you don't have anything on you're not supposed to okay I just want to make sure that you know if anything goes in the jail all right just want to make sure you knew that after his arrest Mr Nathanson was charged with obstruction but the charge was dropped on August 21st 2021 after a review of the body camera footage on June 14th 2024 Nathanson filed a lawsuit against deputy rasasi and Sheriff Billy Woods alleging that rasi twisted his arm and fractured his shoulder during the arrest the lawsuit is still pending and rosatti is referred to as a former Marian County Deputy though details of his termination are not available on April 18th 2024 in Long View Texas a driver is pulled over in his driveway for speeding 10 miles over the limit the interaction was recorded by a body camera Hey sir I'm off Police Department reason for the sto is cuz you're going 50 back there on Bill Owens [ __ ] was that yeah you got your driver's license pre for insurance is this where you live

is only required to display it under Texas law however under Texas Transportation code section 521 021 drivers are required to not only carry but also exhibit their license upon the request of a police officer which generally means surrendering it for inspection a 2008 case USV Zavala clarifies that Texas law permits an officer to examine a license during a traffic stop reinforcing that the driver must physically hand it over you have right here okay you have your answer yeah I sure do you want see it yes sir oh what hell w you f ask a goddamn question that's relevant in you dumb

right sir so today you're going to receive a citation for speeding going 50 and 40 I just check on my radar where we were moving uh the court date is 57 2024 at by 1: p.m. here's all the court information to include the address the phone number and the website actually need to sign right here where the x is it's not a mission of guilt it's just a promise to appear go 3 some go Ahad all right sir after issuing the ticket the officer should have terminated the Stop and left the property according to the Supreme Court's decision in Rodriguez V United States a traffic stop cannot be extended beyond the time necessary to address the reason for the stop unless new reasonable suspicion or probable cause arises once the ticket was issued the legal justification for detaining the driver ended the fact that the officers continued to deal with the driver and entered his home proves a violation of the Fourth Amendment I'm they're old watch the dogs they're allly here grab dogs and uh tell your mom okay okay what's the warrant for Fells come this one what's the war for fellas warant I'll tell you in a second now you don't tell me right now get up what's the warant for fellas what's the warant poor fellas what's the warrant for fellas hey what's that warrant for I wonder how many times they're going to hear me ask on the body camera when this is get going to [ __ ] Court I wonder anybody anybody over here what's the war for fell what invading invading what me I'm not ining arrest me for what for you piece of [ __ ] the vehicle I'm trying you [ __ ] you got my I'm working on it you little piece of God damn it what your mama not raise you with any are you just as dumb as your goddamn Daddy was oh show C holy [ __ ] man that went sideways yeah the situation escalates when the officers follow the driver into his home and arrest him without a warrant under pton V New York 1980 law enforcement cannot make a warrantless entry into a person's home to conduct an arrest unless there are exigent circumstances the officers in this case lacked both a warrant and a valid reason to believe any such circumstances existed the fact that the driver entered his home after receiving the citation should have ended the interaction yet the officers pursued and detained him violating his fourth amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures yeah to yet no it's just a kid inside home I think all I saw was a kid and he said his wife was on his way home her way home hey so your kid is here by herself I thought that's one part just said that you told him that your wife's on the way how far out is she or is she here I thought answer question sorry okay we can call CPS CPS for what what's the CPS for genius you're too stupid to understand not alone here I'll go I'll go um got arrested 1 so I don't want to make yall uncomfortable S I was just like what um is there anybody inside the house with your daughter yeah my grandpa grandpa yeah yeah we're talking on the phone okay awesome so the way made it seemless she was all by herself we just want to make sure oh no no my grandpa's right in there he's watching us right now okay yeah yeah no he just can't very well so proba oh no I had the door undone she did the dog yeah which one double check nope totally been talking to him right now he know what's going in oh go he lives inage little freaking and we only just hang out sometimes okay and he was but they okay with him over here he wasn't oh no no no he wouldn't TransPass no we uh oh we broke up for a little while but I didn't know nothing like that you know it was Mutual all good and um we're like just hanging out he helps I have a surgery on Monday he was going to help me out probably not now so all right thanks y'all that's how do I help him get out so he get two free phone calls uhhuh he'll be able to call you all right damn and this is okay it's Thursday it's not a Friday is he normally aggressive towards police he's normally aggressive torns everyone okay so and he didn't used to be like this but it [ __ ] up his brain and he he like this now he gets he's been seen by what's or name the um infectious lady downtown Anita scrier he saw her for a while he was on anti-depressants for a while and uh nothing just so I just made him aggressive though he wasn't like this eight years ago but then when we found the infection and everything it it did it it really [ __ ] him excuse my language but yeah screwed his liver up and all kinds of stuff so okay yeah which is why we don't you know we're not like completely together and we don't live together anymore but he is still a good person you know what I'm saying and so and I know that because after talking with Miss scrier and stuff it's never going to be back all we can do is do anti-depressants and hope they work and things like that so but yeah so that's that's a normal thing even if the driver was uncooperative during the traffic stop Texas law specifies that the proper course of action would have been to handle any subsequent legal actions such as charges of obstruction separately or by obtaining a warrant War if officers believed the driver had committed a separate offense during the interaction they should have secured a warrant before re-engaging the entry into his home without such authorization undermines the legality of their actions and raises questions about unlawful detention gotta yeah all right we have rest your day okay so still room transport yeah um so we I didn't get a chance to check them um or anything he did somehow manage to get his cuffs up in front of him he is that skinny so but you me to follow you the J should we pull him out and search him I wanted to pull him out search him in case he does have a weapon because I I don't think you checked him no I didn't get a chance so did you tell him hey stop or anything like that yeah I was like hey get back stay where you're at uh and he kept kept walking towards me kept walking towards him getting in my face and I was like you know I backed up cuz I don't want someone this close to me I was backing up backing up and then when I was like okay this is starting to get out of hand that's when I called for you you want give me his ID he wouldn't give me his or his driver's license wouldn't give me his proof insurance he held it up so I wrote down the down the number and that's how I got [Music] it you got anything legal on you I question I don't questions come on I'm trying godamn it work lucky you turn around I don't consent any start your seizes of my property or person not okay we don't need consent don't you're under arrestor for what you haven't told me that yet for your warrant for what warrant [ __ ] evading what mother evading what motherucker evading what arrest you pie of go down what your ass [ __ ] which one for what while there is some ambiguity in the video the lack of any clear reference to a warrant during the interaction further complicates the case even if there had been a pre-existing warrant it would still have been necessary for the officers to establish probable cause and handle the arrest in a manner consistent with legal protocols in a similar case USV sari 2002 the sixth circuit ruled that officers executing an arrest must have probable cause to believe the person is inside the residents and must still follow proper warrant procedures all right let me here you have his and stuff all right cool keys so yeah follow me to theil for what [ __ ] what I told you follow me to the jail in case something happens on the way there and I guess I'll just get you off St out tell police officers can legally pull you over in your driveway and detain you for a reasonable time such as issuing a citation or warning once they issue the ticket the stop is over and they can't remain on your property without consent during the stop officers can control the situation for safety but this Authority ends when the stop concludes if there was an intention to arrest for evading or another charge it should have been done before the ticket was issued officers don't always disclose a warrant immediately to prevent a person from fleeing but they should not extend the stop unnecessarily in case cases like United States V zapa Lopez 2010 courts have scrutinized such tactics to ensure they don't violate the Fourth Amendment here after the ticket was given following the driver into the house may have been unlawful without further justification or a warrant once the stop ended the officers had no legal grounds to prolong the detention on April 19th 2021 there was a 911 call about a man loitering and making strange Acts Alam police officers Eric McKinley James fiser and Cameron lehy responded to the park in Alam California and interacted with Mario Gonzalez a 26-year-old latino man the entire encounter was recorded by the body camera good morning El please Del Cruz hi uh my name there's a man uh in my

with Mr Gonzalez had been professional and uneventful they tried to detain him for his behavior of refusing to provide his ID because he did not comply with verbal commands any Court would find nothing against the police up to this point in the encounter however the way in which Mr Gonzalez was then forced to the ground and KN in the neck to restrain him is the clearest example of excessive force police officers are obliged to refrain from using excessive force regardless of the person's offense unless there is a life-threatening situation you're able to get the arm out l Mario put your hand behind your back hello good y relax okay just before Mr Gonzalez lost Consciousness one of the the officers offered to turn him face down but this offer was rejected by the other officers the pressure the officers placed on Mr Gonzalez's diaphragm caused a condition called positional asphyxia in which the position of the body prevents breathing so that he does not receive adequate oxygen and loses Consciousness Mario just please stop fighting us it's all right the word the police used for fighting was really nothing more than Mr Gonzalez's attempt to catch his breath going Mario on

25th 2020 in the George Floyd incident police officer Derek Chauvin used restraining Force by applying knee pressure to Floyd's neck for approximately 9 minutes this intervention caused positional asphyxia leading to Floyd's death the incident raised the dangers of excessive use of force and the consequences of police exceeding legal limits in such situations chauan was found guilty of second deegree murder third deegree murder and second deegree manslaughter similarly in the case of Mario Gonzalez police officers held Gonzalez down on the ground and kept him under control for a prolonged period of time using force in a manner that may have caused positional asphyxia both incidents show that the use of restrictive Force by police can have disproportionate and fatal consequences Mario
