There have been reports and solid speculation that these Michigan correctional employees have been abusing and in some cases eating the prisoners. >> Are you a reporter? Do you have clearance to record at this time? >> Did you get written authorization? >> It's called the Constitution. It's called the First Amendment. I'm trying to tell you guys nicely. I'm working on a story. This is an old prison, historical prison, >> and I'm working on a story. And I've got you guys here gangstalking me. >> You are criminally trespassing at this point. You understand that? Correct. >> Listen to this guy. Police kill one person every 7 hours in the United States. They kill,200 people a year and you guys called the police on me for public photography, threatening to trespass me. >> In this video from Freedom News Now, we're going to see a fascinating example of officers Mo, Larry, Curley, and Shmp. Shmp will arrive shortly. Attempt the amazing feat of sharing one brain cell. I just want to warn you before we get into this. This could take a hefty toll on your patience. Let the ignorance begin. >> What do we got? >> I'm not coming on your property. >> What do we have going on today? >> Can you answer a question? >> Just taking some pictures today. >> Okay. That's not going to be allowed. No, >> he wants to take pictures. >> So, I mean, we we ask you nicely to leave or we just get the law enforcement down here. >> Is this public property or? >> No. No, this is not private property. >> Private property. >> Treated as private property. >> 33 ft from the center of the public roadway. >> This private property. It's a state prison. Different Different set of rules. >> Different set of rules. >> Yep. >> Private state property. Uh, can you cite that statute for me? >> I have a statute. >> Yeah, I'd like to see the statute. >> Just get the police down here if that's what's necessary for you to do what you're doing here. >> Just to be clear, they're saying state property is private property. Stay tuned because the ignorance that they spew only gets worse. >> Is that the way you guys treat photographers? Yeah, cuz you're not allowed to for to have any type of photography. That's for security purposes. So, I need you to move on. Thank you, sir. >> Well, when I'm finished, I'll move on. >> Well, you're finished. >> I'm finished right now. >> No. >> No. That's all right. >> Is that a threat, sir? You threatened me? >> There's no threat. >> You just threatened me? Absolutely. >> Where did you get speak to you? >> Seriously. >> Yeah.

You see those public utilities right here? What I see is all kinds of signs down here through here. >> Yeah, I'm not going behind your signs. I'm staying on the public roadway here. >> I need you to leave, sir. You're not allowed to uh photograph for security purposes. If you can't understand that, I need you to keep moving. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I can keep moving for you guys. >> All right. Appreciate it. >> Yeah, no problem. >> MSP's on their way. They'll probably be stopping with you here in just a second. Have a great day. You know, when I hear that, you need to move on for security purposes. We don't want you filming for security purposes. It seems to me that in the minds of these people, security purposes trump unalienable rights. And that just ain't a fact. >> Right here. >> Okay guys, see what kind of attention photography gets around here. >> There's a reason for it. 3 to 34. >> Hey, go ahead. We need law out here to get this back. >> Are you a reporter? Do you have clearance to record at this time? >> Did you get written authorization? >> It's called the Constitution.

Looks like this. >> He's got some gang markings. >> Looks like he's got some gang tattoos on his arm here. >> Excuse me, sir. Do you have reporter credentials at all? >> No. Well, you see, Officer Vandenberg, I'm here to investigate the clearly preposterous claim that there's some kind of doughut, pasta, and pastry shortage in this area. Do you have any further questions? >> Do you have any credentials at all? Anything? >> Are you law enforcement? >> Yes, I am. Do you >> Are you a certified peace officer? >> Am I a certified peace? >> Certified peace officer with the state of Michigan. No, I am a lieutenant for the Michigan Department of Corrections. >> Okay. I'm not on your property. I'm on public property. >> That's your penny. But you're wrong. But I need you to move on. >> You're not allowed to record here. So if you've got credentials, I'll be happy to get you. >> Okay. You can see this sign right here. No trespassing prison property. >> I'm not beyond that point. I'm on public public utility. Oh god, here's some more ignorance. >> MSP's on their way for you. So they'll they'll take care of >> go at any time. Let us go. >> That's that's all right. I'd rather MSP deal with me. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> So, we've asked you to leave. So, as of right now, you are trespassing. >> Not trespassing behind your sign right there. >> I've talked to you. I won't tr I'm not trespassing beyond your sign. This is the state of Michigan property off this side of the road. >> Okay. So you guys see I'm getting stalked now. Gangstaled by the corrections department. >> Do you have press correction? >> Gangstaled by the Michigan Department of Corrections. It's very disturbing guys. These guys are here to >> How about any ID? >> Keep the criminals locked up. And look at look at who are the who are the criminals here guys. Who are the criminals? Do >> you have any idea at all, sir? >> Okay, we just got a call in. >> Who are you? >> We just got a call in. Uh, dispatch just ordered the call in. >> Do you have any fresh credentials? I can get you in touch so that you can do this legally. >> I've got credentials. I don't need you to tell me how to get credentials. >> See them and I'll get you that authorization you're looking for. Huh? >> Oh, I know he is. >> Yeah. Detainment thing. Really? >> Okay. So, these guys are off state property. Am I detained? >> Nope. >> You guys detaining me? >> We've asked you to leave us to do so. So, at this point, let me come out and take care of >> Let's zoom in on this security point here a little bit. And >> we've asked you to leave. >> Look at this prison. And this used to be the largest walled prison in the world. Guys, >> can I ask who you're filming for? Who you're talking to by chance? >> I'm trying to tell you guys nicely. I'm working on a story. This is a old prison, historical prison. >> Help you out >> and I'm working on a story and I've got you guys here gangstalking me. >> Did you ask for authorization to do such a thing? >> So, I don't appreciate it. >> I don't appreciate you. filming without authorization. >> Okay, there goes the sheriff's department. >> Yep. >> He just kept driving. >> Just kept driving. >> So, I guess it >> kept driving. >> What do you got to say about that? Vandenberg kept driving. >> This This is statewide. >> Okay. Vandenberg, 33 ft from the center of the public roadway. This public easement >> and >> sorry to inform you guys of that. >> Just notified. I have no intentions on coming on your property. None at all. >> You're already on. >> I'm staying on public easement here. >> You're already on. You've been asked to leave. >> As you can see by our signs, no recording equipment. >> You've been asked to leave. >> I haven't seen any signs that say no recording equipment. >> You are criminally trespassing at this point. You understand that, correct? >> Listen to this guy. Listen, this guy right here, Vandenberg. >> Absolutely. >> As we move along, it becomes abundantly clear that these corrections employees have very little time to study the law, learn about easements or their place in society because they're spending so much time eating. >> We'll call him Snickers cuz he carries his Snickers around in his back pocket everywhere he goes. >> Oh, that's not nice. Am I calling you name? All right, Snickers. Okay, Snickers. >> Channel 4. >> We're going to edit educate you guys today. >> Please do. If you're going to educate us or you're educating your viewers. >> Okay. So, I'm done here with these done here with these guys. Uh we're going to move on and finish our work here. I don't have time for these guys stalking me and doing whatever they're trying to do to me. Um, they're trying to threaten me off this property. They've called the police on me. >> Yep, we have. >> Uh, very disturbing, guys. This is our Michigan Department of Corrections. >> More like Michigan Department of Consumption. Am I right? >> Can I help you? >> No. >> No, I'm good. Thank you. I'm good. Thank you. You can keep moving. >> Sorry. You can keep moving. I'm good. [Applause] You want to identify yourself? If you got all these questions, you want to help me with something. I want to know who's trying to help me here. Who's trying to help me? What's your name, sir? >> My name's Officer Floyd. >> Officer Flu. >> Floyd. F L O Y D. >> Officer Floyd. Okay. Officer Floyd. Thank you. I don't need any help though, sir. So, you can move on. Okay. So, this guy just about ran over my bike. Sir, you about ran over my bike. >> Yeah. So, we're going to move on here. >> Excuse me. What's your name? Do not touch me. You don't have authority off of prison property. Do not touch me. >> This is actually >> This is public property. This is a public easement here. Those are public utilities right there. >> What's your name? >> What's your name? >> What's your name? >> My name is Captain Lewis. What's your name? >> Okay, Captain Lewis. Thank you. Get back on your prison property and leave public photographers alone, please. >> Is that what you're doing? >> I'm engaged in public photography. I'm working on a story on the prison. It's the largest oldest formerly the largest walled prison in the world. I'm doing a story on it. >> Which part is >> pardon me? >> Do you know which part is the old car? >> I can tell >> right here. This is central. If you would like to help me out. Yeah, it'd be a lot better than getting gangstaled and having the police called on me. >> Apparently, the Michigan Department of Corrections employees don't just sit at desks. They sit at buffet tables. And a high percentage of them suffer from dunlaps disease cuz their bellies dunapped over their belt. >> First of all, hold on. You got to calm down. >> First of all, you don't have to >> Don't tell me to calm down when you you have you have 10 correction officers bearing down on you for public photography. >> Well, this is actually state property over here. >> Over there. You're right. Over there it is, but not on the public easement. >> This is public easement. You're filming also, right? >> Well, you're you're allowed to film from the street. That's okay. >> Are you familiar with the verse amendment? >> But we don't. But usually we get told when people are doing when people like professionals do professional business, they usually tell us what's going on. So that's why I'm asking. That's I'm trying to get the story. >> Fair enough. >> That's it. I don't want no trouble, man. >> What's up? >> So are you doing that or what you doing? >> How many officers do I need to tell what I'm doing here? >> I've told anybody. Well, then go talk to your officers. Gather your information from your other officers and then come talk to me. >> Is it like that? >> Is that how we have to do? >> I told you. I've told you many times. >> I'm just trying to understand what >> I'm here. I'm gathering content for a story. I'm an independent journalist gathering content for a story about the formerly oldest, largest walled prison in the world. That's all. Michigan State Prison. >> Well, I'm understanding what you're saying, but here's what I'm going to tell you. You could probably get more information if you contact our people in Lancing because they do allow some things like this, but if you never contact them, that's why we don't know nothing about you. That's why we're asking questions and that's it. >> Nobody Nobody Look, nobody's doing no more than asking you questions. That's it. And I understand you got the political the public part of it down where you're talking about the the you know the uh you're being trying to be correct and I understand that. But that's not what we're doing. We're not bearing down on you. We're asking you what you're doing. That's all we're doing. >> Is that harmful? Is that stopping you from doing what you're doing? >> Well, there were kind of threats in there. There was implied intimidation. There's the calling of police. So, they want men with guns to come out and take care of a guy with a camera, claiming that state property is private property. A whole bunch of lies. So, there's way more they're doing than trying to find out what's going on. >> Well, let's put it this way. Anytime the law enforcement is called on someone, police kill one person every 7 hours in the United States. They kill 1,200 people a year. And you guys called the police on me for public photography, threatening to trespass me. >> I've never been on your property. I've been on a public easement the whole time. So, you tell me how you would act in that type of situation. >> Well, >> if you were under threat of being killed. I'm not armed, but if you're trying to film the oldest prison in the United in the Michigan um state properties usually is protected. We understand that. >> But usually we get visitation is usually a a range, but we do have a museum right there which you're able to go into and look at it all you want. >> Last time I was here, I was told I couldn't go in there. Said they said it was closed. Oh, that's open to the public. >> That's what I told him. And one of your guards run me out of here and told me I couldn't be here. >> Well, I don't know about the guards, but that's set up on something else. I don't know about that, but that's open to the public. It's opening for all the business hours. They they do tours there. >> That's that's what I tried explaining to him, but he decided he wanted to throw his weight on me around on me and treat me like I was an inmate. >> Throw his weight around literally >> instead of a law-abiding citizen. Oh, >> I understand. >> I do. >> Think about it. With these guys around, you don't have to talk about the elephant in the room. You could just talk about them. >> So, I want to say his name was Pel. Okay. But I' I've got no hard feelings towards Pelam or anyone else at this facility. I'm just like I said, I'm just working on a story. I appreciate you guys letting me be. Gather a few uh few more shots of the front of this building and then I'm going to be on my way. I'm going to be out of here. It's getting hot out here. I don't want to be out here. I don't want to be out here all day. >> Okay. >> So, you guys going to let me gather a few I'm not going to go down there and take pictures of those inmates. I'm going to get some pictures of these buildings here and then I'm going to be on my way. So, >> all right. This is from the YouTube channel Freedom News.
