in this video we look at the case of three attorneys who defended their rights against corrupt police officers as if they were in court on July 10th 2021 a civil rights attorney Emanuel olawale was in the process of moving some bags of trash from a vehicle to a dumpster behind an office in Westerville Ohio this action was taken due to concerns about illegal dumping which a statement from the Westerville chief of police suggests is a common reason for officer investigations officers from from the Westerville division of police pulled up behind the individual exited their vehicle and approached hi there I my off is here your office is here I own an office here okay which office is it the law fir the what here is my business car 160 okay all right H show you my ID if you don't mind just so yeah if you don't mind can we see your ID yeah it's a pretty cool uh that is pretty that's a slick uh business card yep all right I'll give it to him um you can keep doing what you're doing we're just again we're kind of concerned yeah seeing somebody DP your Stu there so have be back don't run it don't have don't don't run my card don't run my ID huh don't run my ID don't run your ID you have no reason to well we're going to at least mark it down we're going to take down your information nope I'm on my property put in trash in M okay but this is wait this is not just your property it's it's several people's property I understand but I'm not violating any law so don't no one said that you were VI violating any law no no no no don't run my ID I'm a lawyer I know my rights okay I'm not violating any law I'm on my property there's no suspicion no one called anybody so don't run my ID I only identify myself so that this won't escalate that's fine but we can still mark down who we're out with and so that's what we're going to do no yes didn't stop me this don't turn this into an issue sir you are turning this into an issue we're just simply marking down who we're out with yeah so he's just going to write it down on a piece of paper just just your name why because sir we are out with you because we were concerned that you were illegally dumping but but you youve already disced do you want me to show you my office I understand that you're here but I don't know if this dumpster belongs to you or somebody else in the in the comp it belongs to me to you and you alone yes can you prove that that dumpster belongs to you and you alone this dumpster belongs to the property and I'm ding my stuff in there that's my point though is it if it's also other units so what it belongs to everybody we're paying for it doesn't really matter if it belongs to all the unit that's fine just give me back my ID thank you thank you don't worry everything is under control and that's my wife okay okay that's fine you want your card back yeah I understand you came to check but trying to run my ID to find anything no that's illegal that is not illegal but okay you can finish stumping if you like thank although Mr olawale did not provide conclusive evidence that the trash can was accessible to him he cooperated identified himself and gave his identification in order to dispel whatever it was that the officer suspected while there is no hard and fast line on this the next process depends in part on whether the officers are willing to escalate the situation it is possible to say that the lawyer did a very good job here some of you may be wondering why the lawyer objected so strongly to the identity check in short the law allows it but on the other hand if you unconditionally submit to people who have infinite Powers such a simple incident will not happen next time in other words you should use the powers given to you by the law against the police so that there is equality an incident occurred in which an attorney residing in the area found himself at odds with the police that day he encountered an officer from the Wilmington Police Department department and a sheriff from the New Hanover County Sheriff's Department both confidently told him that it was illegal to record the police and warned that he could be jailed for doing so the lawyer who was doing an Uber service that day to make extra money found himself in an awkward situation when the passenger he was transporting was arrested but he was well-versed in the law and aware of his rights he decided to handle the situation diplomatically and educate the officer about the legality of recording law enforcement activities while calmly communicating with the officers he explained his profession and said that he was a local lawyer the lawyer knew that the right to record police officers in public places was protected by the First Amendment a fundamental aspect of American civil liberties so I'm driving Uber and uh my passenger is getting arrested hey bro turn that off okay no I'll keep recording thank you it's my right don't record me you got I I will look you're a police officer on duty I can record you and if you come to this side of the vehicle I can keep recording you turn it off I can keep recording you turn it off jail man for recording you I'm sitting in my car holding my phone record what what is the law what do you you're what are you arresting me for I'm sitting here in my car I'm just recording in case anything happens I'm surrounded by five police officers I'm scared right now I'm not being a jerk I want to I'm recording it in case anything happens well you better hope we don't find something in your car okay they're not searching my car cuz want to search your car you're not searching my car roll K9 this way please bring the Kines I don't care man like I know my rights hey I hope so I know I know what the law is I know the law I'm an attorney so I would hope I know the law and the Uber dve and it here man you want my bar card it is difficult to understand how the police are still so unconscious about the recording of themselves a prime example is Glick versus kif Simon Glick was arrested by police after attempting to record police officers interaction with a young black male in the Boston Commons after the charges were dismissed Glick filed a lawsuit alleging violations of of his first amendment rights the US court of appeals for the first circuit ruled that Glick had a clearly established right to film police officers in public the appeals court issued the following statement the collection of information about government officials in a form that can be readily disseminated to others serves the fundamental First Amendment interest in protecting and encouraging free discussion of governmental Affairs the first circuit said that the Act of filming the police officers was part of the natural coraly of the First Amendment principle that the public has the right to receive information and ideas Sho guess they're bringing the canines sir can you tell me what this new law is that I'm not allowed to record I'm sorry he he said that there's a law I'm not allowed to record the police I just wanted to know what that new law is you said you were attorning correct I am I've never heard of this law that

minute okay although there was no information about the end of the video the police officer seemed quite surprised that the person they knew as an Uber driver turned out to be a lawyer and they had no choice but to let him go in this video we look at a phenomenon called racial profiling and how imaginary power meets real power briefly for those who do not know racial profiling or ethnic profiling is the act of suspecting targeting or discriminating against a person on the basis of their ethnicity religion or nationality rather than on individual suspicion or available evidence on June 19th 2017 State Attorney Aramis Ayala was pulled over by Orlando [Music] Police you going to go I'll stay here you're good what agents you with I'm the cityor all right thank you your tag didn't come back
