to me Artie and then he was talking you can't trespass me from the sidewalk anyway yeah okay I'm gonna tell you right now here's what's gonna happen if I give you my ID I will do it under the rest and I will sue the living officer majors I'm gonna tell you right now this is a public easement you understand that you have no authority here to pull your boys majors we're gonna have yeah you need to call your boy down okay first off yeah I'll talk to you you're all right we can definitely deescalate that would be the best thing again yeah yeah I can do that with you Stone that would be the best thing to do here for your entire department so I mean uh yeah I just can't tell me yeah yeah that's it that's it I check out what do you mean here's the I'll give you in detail what I do and why I do it that's great and then and then understand that okay normally I don't but since he's really aggro and I'm gonna try and deescalate kind of set your mind at ease um so what I do is I go around and I'm scared to death right now it's the only reason I'm talking you I don't want to talk to you guys this isn't consensual I'm scared I'm shaking right now I'm shaking actually I'm literally shaking right now you see that you see that so can we come over here I mean I'm seriously scared to death of this guy right now can you tell him to back off this guy can come too if you go back up this guy can come too if we need backup and I'll even lift my shirt up so yeah I got no weapon you know what as long as you can keep this guy away from me I can submit to a pat-down just kiss me at that loft for safety I do have the right to do that right you know all right and then if you could just have that guy move away from me though yeah yeah yeah that should be it he's an idol DL okay alright and if we can get this guy to move away from me I feel seriously threatened by him and then I can Miller you come over then I'll keep my hands you know I got no intention of harming anybody all right so all I do is I go around all over the country Texas is actually where I lived though and I just film my public servants in there in the their official capacity I go in film public buildings and public servants I do it at all times a day and night because I prefer to do it during the day but every shift needs to be tested to make sure that they're not going to be out violating people's rights that's all I'm doing now it's perfectly legal and lawful for me to be on this public right away I think you know that I think the sheriff's probably know that so I mean that's all I'm here to do them the film basically I'm here to honestly I hate to say it I'm here catch guys like him because guys like him are dangerous and and if somebody didn't know how to assert their rights that could have ended really really bad I mean it's one thing out here that's great but when they call us to hey they're starting video your your personal vehicles now now that puts me a little bit you know makes me a little bit nervous because we do I mean can we can but this is also a consensual encounter and so I can can I can revoke consent and leave any time so I agreed to talk to him under under the agreement that this this violent thug would stay away you say you feel for your left okay we do too and when somebody we don't know there's a pair of video especially our cars now I don't I don't know what you're doing I don't know if it's something where that's going to end up going to my home my family's that I understand I got a young family - I'm married I've got children understand that I will tell you this so whoever whoever called and told you that where you saw me standing is where I'm gonna walk down the sidewalk I came into the building and I walked back up yeah into the yeah just into the door yeah yeah just up to the where the cameras are right there where you can buzz in and I didn't buzz anybody because I didn't need any help okay so they could see me on the cameras I'm not trying to hide anything I should wear an orange vest I guess I guess some guys are doing that I mean I'm I'm not trying to hide anything okay you didn't make it in there beyond that point yeah that's controlled access oh yeah be allowed you know I do this all the time I'm not I'm not going anywhere I'm not supposed to go I do yep I haven't I haven't committed any crimes you know that you good night you guys know you don't suspect me of any crimes and it's you know sorry had to restart that how long do I plan on being out here I mean I was actually on my way out but I'm I always have to be the last to leave so none that you guys are here as soon as it's cleared out I'll be making my way out of here as well you know I hadn't gone to the back of the department yet either so I when I do videos I do videos of the whole area so I do intend to do that still I'm not gonna answer that I do live in the state of Texas though this is my state okay so am i detained then or can I continue my video while you're doing your phone call yeah yeah yeah what's that all right look you you're done you're done take a hike uh-huh well you let him come over here again that we can have the dog sit on the curb if we need to look I can argue all that I want though I have the right to argue okay you're right and we can and we can argue too we both have the right to do that is that what you guys want to do is that the is that the the image that you want your department out on the Internet you're you shouldn't be because yeah you shouldn't be because you look great right but the dog should sit on the curb though should have the dog sit on the curb didn't she honestly the most expensive part though is the phone yeah and you know that's most people have an extremely expensive phone in their pocket it's about a $150 camera right here it doesn't work well in low light so I usually don't use it at night time got a twenty thousand million battery underneath and everything's plugged into it that's and then this little u-shape thing I think 20 bucks Amazon so I mean other than the camera is probably less than a hundred bucks or well PI less than 200 bucks other than the phone I mean yeah this is all I do it with it yeah I've got a YouTube channel I'd give it to you but um you'll see it because this guy is gonna go viral have you and you're proud of that in a bad way huh now who who was it man that is too bad that you're proud of that yeah yeah we're trying to get rid of guys like you we need to get rid of guys like you because you make guys like him look bad yeah you are you're a violent thug you're an animal you're out of control you got no respect you got no idea where your authority came from where did it come from where did it come from came from me buddy so when I tell you to show up and sit on the curb you should probably shut up and sit on the curb yeah yeah I'm just yeah we can we can all be a-holes to each other right that doesn't get us what good does that do though right no way I mean he can be an ahold of me and I can do the same to him or we could just respect one another respect each other's rights move on everybody safe and have a good day right I was I do need to go around and do the rest of my video but I'm going that way and I'm scared of this guy so it's cold to me but yeah I grabbed the cold didn't heat no it was a skinny guy yeah yeah neither's he had a few too many doughnuts but that's all right no no no um as a matter of fact I've been did three other police departments tonight and had nothing but positive interactions with my public servants um let me think well if I told you then you'd know my my route right now so I know but I'm not gonna say one of them was live and I was with Texas State Troopers actually oh yeah yeah hey guys we're out here in Bowie Texas and what was his name again I don't want to get close to the thug what is it can you say it or no all right I'm gonna get close to you please don't shoot me don't hurt me you already made a lot of threats it's really hard to see it's dark I'm gonna grab a flashlight on my right pocket he already patted me down so you know I got no weapons on me since you can't give it to me I'm just gonna shine it right there on the edge officer majors I'm shaken quite a bit because officer majors what did you threaten to do trespassing on the sidewalk personal vehicles and right on the easement on the easement so he says he's been a YouTube star before and he's pretty proud of it if you guys want to look him up Bowie Texas he's proud as hell of it so you're not what's that I'm from Texas yeah why what where I'm from yeah I'm from Texas yeah well I live out here in Texas if you guys want to look him up though I guess he's been a star before he says he's really proud of it were you violating somebody's rights what did you do that made you a star okay anybody want to let me know what he did that made him a star before and we are live now we were not live before we are alive now that's for my safety and he will not be anywhere near us right all right but I'm gonna tell you right now if it's me and you you already patted me down yep nope nope think um I don't care I don't care if you have 30 cops follow me just not this violent thug that's it all right I'm gonna go all the way out around this way I'm in a parking spot buddy I thought you guys realized by now I don't take orders you coming with - or okay so guys we went live for my safety it's de-escalated at this point but holy frickin crap that guy was ready to tackle me taze me do whatever he needed to do now here I'm now not focusing either though cuz I got a rhythm to what I do I just show that I'm not focusing cuz I'm live I'm talking to the audience and I'm worried about so much stuff that's going on around me but I'm in Bowie Texas and that thug over there guys I'm gonna I'm gonna get that video uploaded first thing tomorrow and he needs to be fired is really what needs to happen I mean reprimand isn't good enough so these guys feel more comfortable if they follow me around there's nothing nothing wrong with that it's a public space so I'm going to try to finish my little my little video here I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty shaken pretty scared I'm literally was shaking but try to do this as normal as I used to do so we got two cruisers back there there goes the thug so got to newer cruisers over there yeah it's just not too big of a department oh this I didn't even notice this rescue vehicle oh yeah we got his name and badge number and he was pretty proud of what he's done in the past I don't know if he was in the right or the wrong but I can tell you for damn sure he was wrong on tonight all right it's not a big department so I wouldn't been here much longer that's about it how many officers worked for the department thirteen hopefully I think full staff 14 hopefully by the weekend you got one less is there not a supervisor on duty tonight technically he is a supervisor is he really he's got seniority in CODIS he's been here longer okay I've actually got more year service than he does okay but he's met this department now longer than I have so how many years has he been with the department oh wow and there's no sergeant lieutenant or anybody on duty tonight huh no that's okay normally there is normally there's a sergeant for every shift that's on we are running short staffed so something's obviously wrong I mean he's out of control he is how to control something really isn't yeah sure I don't know if you were here really hmm I think I think I'll be honest with that thing both feel kind of got off on the wrong foot to begin with but you know what here's here's the problem though you don't get to just give people orders and that that seems to be something that he doesn't understand and he's not used to people talking back to him when he gives unlawful orders and telling him look dude just shut up take a hike walk away and he needs to get used to it because it's gonna start happening more and more I'm trying to teach people how to do this teach people that when a cop comes up and tells you I don't like that you're doing this I don't like that you're doing that well you know what go screw so I don't like your silly costume you know completely the street clothes walked up in front of your house and just start a video on you suspicious yeah definitely and that's the same way am i in front of your house those makes it in a sense I'm here more than I am at home so okay but my house and my business are also two different things you come in and tell them what you're doing that's one thing you know if you walk in videos going punk afterward you get we have no clue what you're doing we didn't so I could understand somebody confronting me and saying hey what are you doing but then barking orders and threats and demands that's that's where they've got ID on me now that's actually your gracious followers that are calling us and telling us that oh yeah yeah oh really yeah well they're gonna as soon as they see the way he acted that's one of the worst that I've seen I don't watch these from all over the country that was one of the worst that I've seen in a very very long time very long time I mean I know you maybe we got different different meters to measure stuff by now I'm not gonna sit here and you know well you know that's the only thing I look for is when there's no law broken just leave us alone you know don't come up and start barking orders can bark him back right you know sign what's the point and really nobody's right or wrong actually he becomes wrong then because I can sit here and argue with him legally and lawfully all day long I can sit here and argue with him no matter how much he hates it and then the second he puts a finger on me this department doesn't well there's no there's no there's no decibels on volume you just can't use a megaphone and then as far as language it depends on the state but actually breach of the peace by your actions words it's got inside a breach of the peace but and then hollering in custom and they say something or call it in it but it can't be a police officer either I'm done I don't want it I didn't I don't come out to keep you guys tied up so I'm gonna get out of here well I'll go to the other side of the street and then after you guys leave then I'll get out of here okay let's be sure news all the legal alright see you guys guys we got a we got a really really bad filthy dirty bad tyrant guys holy crap I can't wait to upload that video tomorrow [Music]
