You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. About halfway through this encounter, the subject was seated on a couch claiming his mother hit him first and asking whether he was going to be arrested. The officer had not yet formally said so, but under Illinois compiled statutes 750, 60, 301, the officer had no choice. That statute removes officer discretion entirely when probable cause exists for domestic battery. Officers shall use all reasonable means to prevent further abuse, including arrest of the alleged abuser. The word is shall, not may. That eliminates the officer's ability to walk away, even if the victim says not to arrest. While that may feel harsh, the legislature made this call for a reason. Victims of domestic violence often recant under pressure. Leaving that decision to the victim's in the- moment preference is exactly the pattern that allows abuse cycles to continue. Still, when the person being arrested has a documented mental illness, that mandatory law creates a collision with no off-ramp. The warrantless entry was lawful under Brigham City versus Stewart. The father opened the door and waved officers in. Probable cause rested on eyewitness accounts from both parents. visible injuries on the mother and prior history at the same address. Under Illinois compiled statutes 720 5 12-3.2, domestic battery requires knowingly causing bodily harm to a family member and the evidence met that threshold. >> I have a good police officer friend. >> Anneil, >> I'm going to call him right now. >> You sexual abuser. Neil, do you have anything in your pockets of your shorts? >> No. >> No. >> You guys cost me bodily injury. I'm filing a complaint. >> I understand that. >> Look at you made me bleed. >> Ready? Anal, I'm going to check to make sure nothing is in your pocket here. >> There's nothing in my pocket. >> I'm just checking. >> See, that's it. That was easy, right? >> And you hurt my arms and you hurt my cheek. >> I apologize for that. >> No, you have no rights to cause me any any any carpet burn >> within a walk upstairs. Okay. And you had no right to even grab my arms. >> I did, but we have to walk upstairs. You >> My mom said don't place me under arrest. >> If you want to talk to dad, you have to walk upstairs. >> Take these handcuffs off me. >> I'm not going to. >> You are. >> And you apologize for this carpet burn injury. >> I apologize, Rod. I'm sorry that you sustained a carpet burn. I am. >> No, you threw me down on the carpet. You hurt my jaw, >> Neil. I I said I'm sorry for that. You grabbed my arm. >> I did. Okay. >> And how would you feel if I did that to you? >> I wouldn't like it. >> That's what I thought. >> All right. You ready to walk upstairs? >> You take these cuffs off of me. >> I'm not going to. >> Yes, you are. >> I'm not. >> Yes, you are. >> Neil, we need to go upstairs. >> You are not taking me to jail. >> You said you wanted to go upstairs to talk to dad. >> Yeah. >> That means you had to walk. I'm not carrying you up the steps to talk to dad. >> Get your hands off of me. >> No. >> Yes. >> No. You're hurting me. >> That's because you're leaning back. Stand straight forward up. And I have no pressure on you. >> Then get your hands off. Look at that. Now there's no pressure. >> Then get your hands off of me. >> All right, Neil, we have to walk up the steps. >> I'll walk up with you. >> Okay, >> get your hands off of you. >> Let's walk up the steps. >> Okay, let me check my burn.

I see it. But then camera was off. So I don't know anybody did that kind of stuff to him. >> No, >> he's mentally already so much traumatized. >> So I can So I can tell you this, the the department is always video and audio recorded.

This is the fourth month he has been here but he was nice. Suddenly I don't know what happened. That's the way it happens. You know >> it just you never uncontrollable then he becomes very uncontrollable. Help me help me. He cannot even you know you cannot take him to he doesn't want to go. What can we do? mental health is such a bad you know. >> Mhm. >> At the she told me don't but I said no he's going to I was worried he could something he will do >> serious injury mad he doesn't know. >> Mhm. >> He's been doing it for last 4 hours one every 1 hour he does keeps 1 hour again like this the fourth time. >> I know he's telling we are not I hope you're not recording it right. >> Yeah we are recording. >> Yeah we have our camera. Yeah, >> it's always on. >> But it stays It stays with us and it doesn't go anywhere else. It stays at the police department. >> All the recordings. >> Not to >> No. Well, they go if the court requests for them, they can get them, but for the most part, it stays at the police department. But they don't review the footage of anything unless there's like a complaint or if it's like about if it comes up in court and there's like someone said something, someone else said something, then they would look at the tape to make sure. But just normal interactions, it's >> I think it's better just to stay. >> He's calling mom. >> I know. >> No, don't go. Don't go. >> We're still downstairs. They will take it off all the clothes anyway. Later there they put their own clothes I think right? >> Um yeah. >> Is he going to be transported now or will in the morning? >> Um from >> here to >> it'll be tonight. >> They So I'm going to tell you guys they did just place him under arrest for domestic battery. >> Okay. >> Or they did arrest. >> They did. Yep. and they're going to do their best to use as little as they can, but he has to go to the station. So, they're going to be taking him to the station, >> then to Las, >> I believe. So, unless he says anything that says he might be suicidal and then we'd have to take him to the hospital first. But if he doesn't say anything, if he's suicidal and he's all and he doesn't make any statements like that, then he'll probably go tonight to Lasal County. >> Oh, he'll go tonight. We have to get our report approved by our supervisor before we can take him. >> Okay. >> His supervisor working at night, too. >> Okay. Do you want to stay in the bedroom so he doesn't see you guys? What was that, sir? >> His supervisor working tonight, too. >> Yes. Yep. So, he'll approve the report. We'll make sure everything is factually correct. There's no mistakes. >> You don't need to sign or anything, right? I don't want to come again and >> don't. Do you don't want to do a victim packet? >> No. Okay. We have given so many other homes. >> And you guys know if you have any questions or concerns, you can always call chief. >> Correct. And we know the chief also. >> Yep. You can call talk to chief and work with that. >> What's his name? What? >> It's Chief Kellen. >> Kellen. Yes. >> Yes. Yep. He works usually most of the days 8 >> morning I would say. >> Yeah. 8 to about 3:00 in the afternoon. >> Correct. >> Yep. But he'll be able to help with any complaints you guys have or anything concerns. >> And then >> And you have written chief's name too on that? >> Um I can. Okay. >> Thank you. Y >> Chief's 15, right? >> Okay. >> Oh, his name here. >> Is it? Yeah. Gregory. >> Okay. because I know we've been trying to help work with you guys and take your feedback in the process and >> I appreciate know you guys what you're doing but you have to do your job at the same time you feel bad as a parent because of the mental issue >> I get worried >> it's okay he's going to go get his squad car and pull it up in your driveway so he has less distance to walk Yeah. >> Does he have a shoes that >> we gave him the shoes? I don't know if he was resisting the officers or not if he still has his shoes on. But >> you can wear your butter that white stuff, you know. >> Yeah, we we gave him the shoes. I just don't know if he was fighting with them if they fell off. >> But I'm sure they'll give him the chance to put them back on if he's not trying to hurt anyone. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Because it's cold outside. >> No, I know. And it's wet. >> That's why I know. And I don't like having people walk on the outside, but it's sometimes >> I was very careful because a lot of tree branches were there. I didn't realize it. >> What about a long pant and a jacket? >> We we can give him a jacket. But from here to the squad car, it's only probably 15 ft. But if you want us to take a jacket with him, we can give him one >> again. Then he they're going to take him to like court again there. If they lose it and all that, you know. >> Did they lose his property? >> Well, last time his shirt was lost >> at the jail. Yeah. >> How did the jail lose it? >> Because they gave his own different clothes. Uh they they don't allow his clothes. >> Mhm. But they should give it back when he's released. >> Yeah. But they they say it got lost. >> They lost it. >> Yes. >> They got even written in that that sorry we lost your shirt. >> Okay. Can you stay here? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> We're done asking questions. You will walk and do what we say. Do you understand? >> I was just making sure they didn't come down here. >> I want to talk with my parents. Right. >> I don't understand what you want. We're walking upstairs. You just kicked him in the nuts. >> We're good. We're good. We're good. >> And what did he do to me? >> Place you under arrest. We were up front with it. >> We're good. We're good. >> I want to talk with my dad. >> I understand that. >> I want to talk with my dad. >> You're not going to? >> Yes, I am. When you're >> All right. >> Yes, I am. >> Neil, are you going to walk up the steps for us? >> No, I want to talk with my dad. >> All right. I want to talk with my dad. You want to help out on that side? >> Do you hear me? >> I hear you. Yes. >> You guys go ahead. >> I want to talk with my dad. >> I can. We have to go upstairs. >> Let me talk with him right now. Let me talk with him. Let me talk with him. >> Do not kick. >> He's trying, but he's all right. Let me talk with my dad. Dad. Dad. Hey, Dad. DAD. >> WATCH YOUR HEAD OUT. Watch your headphone out. >> DAD. HEY, DAD. Get these handcuffs off of me. It's cold out here. Get these handcuffs off of me. >> Get these handcuffs off of me. >> It would be easier if you go to your feet. >> Let me talk with my dad. Dad, you going to stand up on your own feet? >> Let me talk with my dad. Put your feet. >> How are you going to stand? >> Put your feet down. >> If I let go of your feet, will you be able to stand? I don't want you to fall on your butt. >> You hurt my cheek, too. >> Yeah, and you hurt my feelings. Try to kick me in the nuts. >> I didn't like that either. >> Look what you did to me first. >> Anal, you're going into a squad car. >> Let me talk with my dad. >> If you get in the squad car, I'll let you roll down the window and you can talk to your dad. Let's get in. >> No, let me talk with him right now. >> That's not how it works. Get in. >> Yes, it is how it works. I'll roll the window down. >> No. >> Yep. >> I don't have a cage. >> Yep. >> Please set down. >> Please. >> Let me talk with my dad. He's right there. >> You want to get into the squad car? >> I want to talk with my dad. >> Yes. Once you get into the car, >> okay? >> No. I'm freezing out here. >> I understand.

That's >> We're going to go ahead and close the door then. >> Get your foot in there. No, I do not want to shut the door on your feet. Come on. >> I want to talk to my dad. >> I got both. >> You got them? >> Yep. >> The use of force analysis turns on Graham versus Connor. Three factors govern the severity of the crime. Whether the subject posed an immediate threat, and whether the subject was actively resisting. On all three, the force was within the standard. The subject refused to comply for approximately 20 minutes. Officers used hard, empty hand control, no weapons, no strikes, and acknowledged resulting injuries on camera. Miranda versus Arizona requires informing anyone in custodial interrogation of the right to silence, that statements may be used against them, and the right to an attorney, including an appointed one. The advisement on camera covered silence and use of statements. The right to appointed counsel was not clearly captured, a gap that could raise a suppression issue at trial. When officers attempted to load the subject into the squad car, he kicked one of them. Under Illinois compiled statutes 720 512-3.05 05 subsection D4 battering a peace officer performing official duties is aggravated battery that upgraded a class A misdemeanor to a class 2 felony carrying 3 to 7 years one kick entirely separate from the domestic question Illinois compiled statutes 7325-5-6-3.1 allows courts to consider mental illness at sentencing and divert eligible defendants toward treatment alternatives. The family confirmed a bipolar disorder diagnosis on camera. Mental illness does not eliminate liability, but the felony charge creates a serious obstacle and felony level offenses against officers rarely qualify for diversion programs. The lead officer spent approximately 20 minutes in verbal engagement before any physical intervention. He removed officers the subject objected to, called EMS, warned of each escalation step before taking it, and apologized for unintended injuries on camera. His mandatory arrest analysis was accurate, and his communication to the family was direct. The only procedural gap is the incomplete Miranda adisement, which the defense will flag. Anil Bate's conduct was legally self-defeating at almost every decision point. Hiding in a closet, refusing to stand, resisting handcuffing, and kicking an officer. Each choice compounded his exposure in a case that might have resolved as a misdemeanor. Fear does not generate a legal right to refuse a lawful arrest. And every refusal here made his situation worse. The parents called because the situation exceeded what they could safely manage and law enforcement was the only system available. Their cooperation was genuine and the mother's visible injuries provided critical evidentiary support. But her refusal to allow officers to photograph those injuries removed documentation that could have helped establish the full picture. First lesson. When two people make conflicting domestic assault claims, the primary aggressor determination matters. Under Illinois compiled statutes 750,60 214.5. Officers must identify the primary physical aggressor, not arrest everyone. If you believe you were attacked first, saying so clearly and immediately to responding officers is the only in the- moment tool available. Second lesson, battery on a peace officer during an arrest, even a disputed one, is a self-contained felony. It does not matter whether the underlying arrest was justified. The moment you make intentional physical contact with an officer performing official duties, you have committed a separate crime independently chargeable outside the original allegation entirely. Compliance during the arrest and challenging it in court afterward is always the better path. Third lesson. If a family member has a documented mental illness and law enforcement contact is recurring, build an alternative response plan between episodes, not during them. Illinois compiled statutes 73055-6-3.1 allows mental health diversion at sentencing, but that option narrows once a felony is on the table. Document the diagnosis. Contact the public defender before the next crisis. That is the analysis on this one. The mandatory arrest, the use of force sequence, the felony upgrade, and the mental health system failure behind it are all on this body cam footage.
