on June 8th 2023 a homeless man named herberto Alejandro Sanchez Mayan was sleeping on cardboard in a vacant lot officer Sarah goddess of the St Petersburg Police Department approached Mr Sanchez and

you plus you always drink those yeah but that's what could you please zip up your flly huh zip up your pants from the very first moment of the incident officer Sarah gadus preferred to escalate and prove her power instead of taking a solution oriented approach her treatment of Mr Sanchez also raises questions about her police training do you see this sign right here you see can you he I see it what's that say no that's you know what it okay so you know that you're not supposed to be here which way did you come in huh which way did you come into this park just I don't know did you walk in from this way or did you walk in from that way that way all right well there's a sign over there too I didn't see it well can't be helped can't be helped go ahead and drop your bag you got anything in there no just drop it down you're fine Drop It On The Ground there you go let me we get some gloves how are you you got anything in your pockets my cigarette take them B huh I okay put him down there anything else not [Music] do arm got to make sure oh you got more stuff pamphlet oh that's what is that by by the church okay Chinese Church yeah okay no drugs or nothing no okay nothing in your shoes no not no no oh you got a hernia huh yeah I okay yeah you want to ride me today no you're going to take the ride today huh I've decided that you're going to actually go to jail today had far too many problems with you no absolutely not laws related to sleeping in public places in Florida may include trespassing loitering and urban camping ordinances trespass laws apply to sleeping on private property without permission loitering laws May apply to idling in public places with the intent to disturb order urban camping ordinances regulate sleeping in places such as parks enforcement can lead to citations fines or arrest depending on the situation and local ordinances in the present case Mr Sanchez complied with the orders of the police and did not cause them any difficulty therefore the police can only be expected to give him a warning but unfortunately things will get out of hand in the rest of the video we're getting all kinds of complaints can't be doing this okay so he's coming now and then he'll take you out D me take please no come on let's go over here you get tickets all the time you don't care you don't change your ways right here your stuff Mayan Sanchez I'll get it for is Packer James still in here what is in there gosh FR okay Tres Tres yeah I think after sh this should be a fing after a certain am after a certain amount of any crime it should be a fing in the United States arrested offenders may be fitted with handcuffs or leg restraints as a standard security measure this is done to prevent Escape or harm to themselves or others taking into account factors such as the seriousness of the alleged crime and the person's behavior however the decision to handcuff varies according to the jurisdiction and the Judgment of law enforcement authorities in this case the shackling of Mr Sanchez appears to be completely unjustified because he was a homeless man the police forgot that he was a human being and treated him like a serial killer keeps coming in contact doesn't change his ways what can we do in jail would probably settle it what's that a year in jail might s yeah maybe it's debatable all right it's a nice phone you guys good thank you yeah stuff just this bag of stuff like food in there nice thanks ises that thing stin yeah what's it smell like thr it away I'm pretty much done with taking soil stuff yeah they don't need it it's all soiled we don't need it I'm take now after being handcuffed Sanchez mayen was placed in the back of the van which had no seat belts according to the suit and video taken from inside the van officer Michael ther who was driving the car for some unclear reason possibly breaking hard at a red light Mr Sanchez was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown by the momentum and fell to the ground hitting his head hard the car's camera was not activated until this moment and police Thacker activated the car's camera after hearing the loud noise since the activated camera recorded 30 seconds before it can be seen that m Mr Sanchez fell quite badly and it was entirely the fault of the police because according to the law police officers are not obliged to provide medical assistance to the person they arrest but they are obliged to ensure their safety and protection from harm in this case officer thaker is unequivocally guilty officer ther went to the penell county jail and found Mr Sanchez lying on the ground and unresponsive instead of being courteous and ensuring that he received the necessary assistance how ever he attempted to pull him out of the car causing Mr Sanchez to again hit his head on the bumper the door and the concrete floor Mr Sanchez was taken to hospital for treatment after the incident and was found to have suffered a serious spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed he also unfortunately had to have both legs amputated above the knee Mr Sanchez's trespass charge was later dismissed by The District Court sometime after the incident Mr Sanchez started legal proceedings with his lawyer the lawsuit accuses officer Thacker of excessive force and intentional battery officer Gattis of false arrest and malicious prosecution and the City of negligent supervision and training among other charges the plaintiff's demanded a jury trial the St Petersburg Police Department denies the allegations and has confidence in the judicial process police said in a statement in addition the two police officers have not been penalized or subjected Ed to a review process and continue to perform their duties without any problems currently Mr Sanchez remains bedridden and resides in a nursing home on November 12th 2023 in Okaloosa County Florida deputies responded to calls about disruptive behavior and a reported Grand Theft Auto involving 22-year-old Maris Jackson the initial call described a vehicle honking its horn since 3:00 a.m. causing a disturbance another call came from a woman claiming Jackson her boyfriend had stolen her vehicle and was making threats she provided text messages showing what appeared to be a firearm suppressor inside her vehicle deputies detained Jackson searched him and placed him in a patrol vehicle while investigating the victim mentioned Jackson had a silencer and multiple weapons the interaction was captured on officer's body cam my car back I've been asking all night can I get my car back like I don't care about the argument I don't care about I don't even know what the argument is about I just want my car I don't want to deal with anything I know anytime we get into it whether I'm right or wrong I he puts his hands on me or he threatens to put his hands on me it gets very violent there he is in your car or walking up he's walking Pat him down please what that Pat him down what I'm getting patted down for do you have any weapons on you no okay what I'm getting patted down for because you're getting patted down why do you have any weapons on you no I don't have no weapons on me this will don't got no weapons on me hands your pockets got it okay they found it where is it 1656 Hunt Club over here off MLK Heather Glen yeah is that the other place that's those apartments like on that one road where the um two gases gas he must have walked how far is that about 2 3 miles walking it's a little minute but driving it's not too far about [Applause] okay shot fired shot's fired shot fired shots fired oh I'm here I'm here what in the car shot in the car [Applause] oh I I'm I'm good I feel weird but I'm good Deputy Hernandez was approaching the passenger side rear door of his patrol car to do a secondary search of Jackson when he heard a pop sound which he perceived to be a gunshot and believed he had been hit he began yelling shots fired multiple times falling to the ground and rolling he fired into the patrol car after witnessing Deputy Hernandez's response and reaction the sergeant Beth Roberts responded with gunshots towards the car as well in response to the perceived threat how are you I'm good I'm good oh I don't know I might have hit my vest back Mr Jackson was not physically injured by any of the 22 shots the incident involving Deputy Hernandez and Sergeant Roberts highlights issues of police response and use of force leading to significant psychological impact on Jackson who was in the car at the time Hernandez resigned during the investigation which revealed concerning details about his handling of the situation the investigation found that Hernandez reacted dramatically to a sound later identified as an acorn hitting the car by Falling shouting shots fired and firing into the car even though no actual threat existed his partner's actions were also questioned but ultimately deemed Justified Sheriff Aiden defended Hernandez stating he genuinely felt his life was in danger however the incident deeply affected Jackson Who described feeling terrified and damaged for Life due to the gunfire and shattered Windows the Department's response is limited due to pending litigation highlighting ongoing legal complexities surrounding the case in addition Mr Jackson and his lawyer started the legal process a few days ago on April 18th 2023 a man named Ryan Theodore was walking in his neighborhood a few blocks from his home when he was pulled over by Sheriff Owens of the Kent New York police department in an unmarked car and questioned without identifying himself as a police officer as other units surrounded them Mr Theodore began recording the encounter C Police Department hey what's going on um I live over at Road um I I I just saw somebody ring my doorbell um you know I usually have no problem with people like listening around but dude was like looking up and down my house he stood there for a little while he was writing stuff down and then I saw him on the Google camera going to my driveway it looked like he was looking at my truck um I don't know if you want to just send somebody over there see what this guy's doing over there he's not on at my property any more but I can describe him to you sure what's it do you can you tell me what direction he was going in yeah he went down Livingston towards um towards plam drive that's the last I saw okay are you home no no no I'm at work I'm I'm nytd okay and your name your first and last name sir sure it's Stephen and you saw this person on your on your ring doorbell um can you describe him to me yeah he's wearing like gray pants it looks like a uh tan like car heart type hoodie a nail white white okay all right um great pantsy tan hoodie male white uh okay and about how long ago did this happen about five minutes ago five minutes in the past okay and he was just just looking looking at the house and um then he left and is now headed down Livingston towards putham yeah it just struck me as strange like usually people ring and then they just go away but stood there for a little while and then he wrote something down and then I saw him going to my driveway and it looked like he was looking at my truck and then I I couldn't see him anymore so yeah we do have people in the area um it's called Uh Home Remodeling and you know they're trying to sell you windows and doors Etc but you know somebody I know them I know them but his his wasn't marked or anything just oh okay no markings okay I'll let the officer know we'll get somebody up there see if we can locate them over no thank you yes no thank you no come here are you detaining me sir yes I am stop for what crime what is your reasonable Artic do not touch me sir turn around what have I done I'm detaining you turn around for what suspicion what your Reasonable articulable Suspicion of a crime yeah multiple calls about you detaining a person is not equivalent to arresting them if the suspect does not pose a danger to the public handcuffing him her makes no sense and is merely a show of force in this case Mr Theodore did not physically resist the police officer and handcuffing him was an act of escalation what is your ra yes this is unbelievable this is your RS it's funny my freedom is funny to you yeah no it is it's hilarious I just you I'm not to do that yeah you are when criminality is a foot and we do have a arable suspicion we don't have to give all that to you what is your prob cause I have plenty of it you do I do I've never seen you before well good nice to meet you this is unbelievable yeah it is right this is happening in America yes it I just saw that you shouldn't be looking through people's window shot a man in their home at the wrong address and then this is the followup in this country let's talk for a second no I don't want to talk to you I want to be released and free go this is unbelievable bring down just stand with this officer for a second we're going to talk I don't want to okay that's what's going to happen we're just going to talk for a second this is insane is anybody available to film this oh you're being filmed right now no I want a private Are you seriously what is your reason suspicion SE have a seat this is incredible that this is happening in America yep I'm a free man I've done no wrong well now you're detained that's fine what were you doing in people's yards looking in their Windows what are you talking about this talking absolutely we may I see it yeah multip I want attorney president for questioning okay that's fine you can do that that's your right yeah at this point in the video the body camera sound was muted by the officer it is difficult to know what they were talking about but it can be assumed that they were responding to a tip off at the beginning of the clip Mr Theodore's outfit is not even close to the outfit of the person who was reported so the cops detained the wrong person even though they had a full description just can you just roll down the window yeah I got all right man we're trying to figure out what's going on okay listen I know I'm going to tell you explain to you what you don't have to talk to me I'm just going to explain to you why you're in the back of a car right now okay know we got a call from a bunch several people saying that there's somebody entering properties knocking on doors poking Windows poking in Windows and they match you match their description so that's why you're you are where you are yeah ring doorbell camera okay so that's that's what that's fine and we will and we're confirming that you're only being detained right now okay you're not under arrest what do you mean I'm not under arrest you're not under arrest we're just trying to explain Char with the crime is what you saying yeah you're not charged with a crime but you're not you're not under arrest you don't know what the word arrest okay well you're being detained right now detainment with mean the whole but I'm not here to argue with you can we just explain this you can do whatever you want we're just trying to tell you detainment okay you're not being charge of the crime exactly but I am still under arrest you put me in handcuffs and if that's your definition of it right now at this point we're just talking we're explaining to you our circumstances you've done more than talk sir okay very fine I don't care what you say I'm just explaining to you what's going on right now we're confirming if you match the description of that person right now okay and if you don't and there's nothing wrong you're going to be released out beforehand okay I wasn't here for that I'm just telling you what we're here to do you cannot do this to somebody you have to have the evidence first sir before you can detain somebody I didn't put handcuffs on you did I yes you did no I didn't somebody did of course and now you're being detained and that's it no I'm under arrest okay I hav't we tried to tell you what's going on okay we just wanted to let you know what's going but you didn't tell me why my right is being violated at this point the sound is turned off again but it seems from the footage that they are trying to figure out how the person they have caught is unrelated to the person in the report the cops probably decided to do the confirmation process that they should have done in the first place after unjustly handcuffing a person and this shows a lack of [Applause] training what did he say to you guys when you were talking yeah basically just the uh you know you can't arrest me any that stuff just being difficult ask him if he knows this guy yeah all right man here's the deal this is no deal I don't have any agreements to make with you we're look for a guy CU there's another guy going around sweatshirt well you have to find that out beforehand before you can you don't have reasonable articulable susp you broke the

they did in my wrists the police officers literally left the scene without even apologizing Mr Theodore announced that he had filed a formal complaint against the officers on July 18th 2023 Corporal Hughes of the Mount Dora Police Department responded to reports of off-duty Groveland police officer Joshua SMS allegedly assaulting his wife at a Mount Dora bar Hughes along with officer Sanchez and

started and I was like it's way from us I will you up and we left and came home and okay everything's fine all right like that I mean that's the legit story officer Summers explained what happened with his wife but denied certain actions shown in security footage misdemeanor battery involves intentionally touching or harming someone while felony battery requires causing significant harm domestic battery by strangulation involves impeding breathing or circulation but proving this can be challenging without clear evidence of harm there's probable cause for domestic battery by strangulation based on witness accounts and minor injuries but proving sufficient Force for conviction may be difficult were your friends there too or they were they were there just two of you guys my friends were there one of them happened to be inside I didn't know where the other one was that's who I was asking about okay so that was it how long you guys been married 10 years and what's the day

front of me please Josh get in the car come on about to get more charges come on hey Sit down you're good oh my God take a breath take a breath take a breath I can't I can't officer Summers refuses to comply with orders to get into the cruiser citing claustrophobia and requesting different handcuffing resisting an officer without violence involves obstructing an officer's lawful Duty without violence courts have ruled that such resistance includes refusing to obey a lawful order from a police officer therefore summers's repeated refusal to enter the vehicle could be seen as probable cause for resisting without violence and he just latched down on me dud I'm begging you I'm not going to fight you I'm I will go I will go without fix his handcuff we'll do two can we do two handcuffs it would be better no but just to put on kid we'll give you two cups okay as long as you're cool we're going to do double cups but we're not putting them in front of you please put them in front please I'm good to go I I I will ride house the door undo the there you go please behind me is not going to work even if there's two they're not even going to be pulled behind you Josh we cannot do the officer informs officer Summers that they cannot use front handcuffing as it is standard procedure to secure handcuffs behind arrestes back for safety and control courts have upheld this practice even when individuals request front cuffing due to medical conditions like claustrophobia precedent shows that denying front cuffing does not constitute excessive force as long as it does not result in harm and follows standard restraint protocols therefore it's likely that a court would find the officers did not violate the constitution by refusing front handcuffing to officer summers are barely going to even be behind you make sure that they walk they're definitely behind me you're almost able to sit them beside you I'm begging we've been more than nice to you Jos I've been more than respectful to you as well VI all right well then just have a seat okay cuz take a breath that should be better your arms aren't behind anymore it's not it's not oh my God we'll roll the window down

that's pretty loose now all right that's come on all right have a SE I'll drive officer Summers was taken to Lake County jail and later released on a $2,000 Bond initially facing a felony for domestic battery by Strang ation his charge was reduced to misdemeanor battery on February 5th 2024 he entered a pre-trial Intervention Program allowing first or second time offenders to avoid conviction the grovelin police department placed him on paid leave emphasizing their serious approach to such charges and ongoing internal and criminal investigations no Public Announcement has been made about the investigation results yet on July 3rd 2023 a man named Shawn bresnan repaired his car in front of his house and then drove to the end of the street to test it when he turned around police officers

trying to deal with you we're talking just fine right now I don't see the are you arresting me or are you detaining me detaining you at this point okay well I'm being detained I can do without being in handcuff okay I'm going to put you in handcuffs and I'm going to detain you is there a reason why I'm not being yes I'm just trying to understand I'm not being compatitive I'm not no I know you're not I'm not I'm asking you to comply with my orders okay and you're giving me a lawful order yes I'm giving you a lawful order to stand up and I'm going to detain you for a minute okay until we figure out what's going on I'm going to put them in front of you okay okay while we look at the stuff you've been over here you've been in front of your car trying to open the hood you're moving all over place I need to focus on what's going on here to decide whether you stay here or whether you go with me if you don't allow me to do that then we're going to stand here and talk okay I'm not trying to be difficult I just I'm kind of opposed to being put in handcuffs like I've done something wrong you've not done anything wrong I'm detaining you keep you over here where I can keep an eye on I'll give you my word I'll stay right here but I don't want to be putting handcuffs if at all possible um it's not sure you understand quiet time yet um I can understand to a certain anything that you do but right now you're interfering with my operation and my investigation here because you won't comply with what I'm asking you to do I'm trying to comply but I don't feel the need to be put in handcuffs that's being put under arrest no it's not it's being detained and that's what I told you okay I that's detained as an arrest no it's not Mr Shawn knew his driver's license would show as suspended in the officer's computer so he tried to go into his home to get proof from his truck that his license wasn't suspended backed by Court documentation the officer however wouldn't let him go inside citing the ongoing traffic stop while Mr Shawn was in his yard the initial infraction occurred on a public road so the officer considered it part of the traffic stop despite Mr Shawn's attempts to show his valid documentation the officer focused on detaining him further even though handcuffs weren't necessary for a detainment this prolonged detention without probable cause could be seen as a deao arrest as it exceeded the typical duration allowed for a traffic stop without additional cause apprehension is arrest not being able to leave your own free will is arrest you're being detained until I finish my investigation that doesn't mean you're under arrest if at any point in time you become where you're under arrest I will advise you that you under arrest okay well right now you're being detained okay and I'm being as willing as I can with you I'm not trying to be combative I'm not trying to Buck your Authority or anything like that I'm just simply I don't see why I should be handcuffed on my own property and I haven't broken a law broke a law what BR a law have I broken driving on suspended I have the paperwork to show otherwise okay well it's not showing that in my truck I understand that I have paperwork from the court that shows otherwise you have it on your person no sir it's in my truck was it in the car that you were driving no sir it's in my truck okay so no different than you being on the highway you wouldn't have it you wouldn't have it with you that may be true that may be true but it is different because it's here I'm here I have it on me no you don't have it on you if it's on this property i' would assume it was in my access that's what the problem is you're assuming okay well I know for a fact I have the paperwork it's 25 ft away from me I can show you that real quick quick and clear this all up okay we might get to that point whenever you decideed to comply I'm not trying to not comply but I was on my own property when you pulled up behind me mhm and now you're wanting to put me in handcuffs you're driving down the highway driving on suspended uh have the paper work to show my license is not suspended it was suspended in error suspended in error yes sir okay we'll get to that point but I can't get to that point standing here arguing with you I mean we could get to that point very easily I could walk over to my truck and unlock it and give you the paperwork we will when I complete my investigation okay I'm going by this paperwork what I have to deal with okay understand and then if I can look at that then we'll look at yours but you haven't complied with me yet you asked me not to move around I sat down I hadn't moved since aside from the Comm dog down which I asked you mhm I've been complying this whole time but I do not see

you're going to go to jail I didn't interfere with anything okay then identify yourself or go in the house one of the two 11 PD go ahead you go ahead and contact JD for me please yes sir for what Drive no suspended no insurance no registration my car's on private property you can't tell it it wasn't when I seen the violation sir no was when you initiated initiate the stop I was already stopped on private property you have no authority to tell my car talk to the judge [Applause] no come on see before show me the law say you can my car right now okay here I'm not here I'm going explain your sitations to you unless you want to go to jail and bond on them I don't but I don't want my car tow either that's that's on my property I don't want you driving on I'm not going to drive it I have another vehicle I can drive but I apparently have driving spend license or something so I'm not going to drive anyway okay but you're not taking my property from my property okay if we were out on the street you would have the absolute right to tow it not from private property sir under Arkansas state law driving on a cancelled or suspended license is classified as a misdemeanor offense if the officer genuinely believed apart from Mr Sha's paperwork that his license was suspended he would have arrested him however since the officer saw the valid paperwork proving otherwise he couldn't make an arrest instead he moved to impound Mr Shawn's vehicle okay you're driving it on City street which is violation when you're driving on suspended and I'm taking the vehicle CU you have no insurance I sit there and watched you drive up Wilson Farm you drove all the way around Tyler and come right down through here on lender I'm taking the car you have no insurance no driver's license and you won't register your vehicle okay I have no issues with registering my vehicle I have tags as you see I just haven't updated okay apparently you don't understand what we can see because you do have a problem with driving on suspended and you do have a problem with registering your vehicle and I do have youed it very many times okay and I've got them all dismissed as I've shown you okay I don't know if you got them dismissed or not the paperwork right there shows it I got your paperwork okay sorry right there I'm still showing that you like a $100 reinstatement fee that was taken out of my taxes and that one says that the reinstatement fee is waved if you look at it that's fine I can't this is not what I go by Sir I don't go by your paperwork that you pull out of your truck that's sitting in your yard that's paper apologize with the seal okay I don't care what it is that's not what I can go by today okay I'm going by my system that I look at and also our dispatcher looked at it as well to make sure I wasn't missing something I double checked it it's still suspended you still owe $100 to Mountain Home home you need to get that cleared up with them until then your driver's license going to be suspended okay you were decided about a week and a half ago for it did you argue with them as well yes sir I did I'm glad I ain't the only damn one me when I'm being accused of something that I've already taken care of I have I can't I can't help it I didn't I didn't suspend your driver's license you're right understand that all I can do is do my job okay I do my job with my tools okay I don't have any choice that's what I'm providing okay and now you're more than welcome to bring this to court on the court date and if they decide that is not suspended I'm more than happy for them to to take care of it or do whatever they can do for you and help you I don't have a problem with that but today it tells me it's suspended okay well if it's not suspended who's going to pay for my card being impounded when it's already private property nobody will because you have no insurance and you won't register the vehicle driving on suspend is not the only problem you got three problems and you won't learn your lesson because you've been cited a number of times that's nothing to do with learning a lesson sir I wasn't driving that car okay got but you're still driving on suspend which has been dismissed numerous times then shouldn't be a problem for you to get it dismissed again you're correct okay sound good where do you want me to put this um get my wife this no I'll let you hold it cuz I don't know that this is your wife she want to identify herself guarantee it's my wife and offer Woody can gu as well okay well I'm not officer Woody I understand but he is your colleague that's fine it does not matter I made the stop I'm trying to cooperate with you guys but nobody wants to cooperate you started arguing as soon as you got out of the car okay do you want to go over this do you want me to go over it or you just want to have it we can go over it okay so I cited you for owner failed to register your vehicle for your tags you're driving on suspended and no liability insurance okay court date is August 9th 1:30 p.m. if you choose to come to that okay if you have any questions about the citation numberers on the back contact them anytime then they'll be able to answer any questions you have if you want to take that paperwork to them they'll be the people to show that to they can look up that kind of stuff I can't okay they've got other means of looking up whether your suspension's been released or not I can't see that okay so you can take that city hall or you can call them and ask them if you can bring it up there all right and they'll let the ladies look at it and I'll work with you man even as argumented as you've been if it's fixed it's fixed and we'll make it right okay go ahead I guess that's fair okay any other questions7 through a bag in

know either okay here's your citation and we're going to stand by and inventory of the vehicle waiting on tow trip okay not anymore right you're not anymore okay uh the only reason you could search my
