Why can't you see me exercise my rights in public peacefully and and protect my rights? Cuz I don't know what you're taking a picture of. >> You took a oath to protect the constitution in there. That's my property in there. >> Do you need help with anything? >> They asking about the phone. >> Okay. I'm telling you, your behavior is creating a disturbance. They're calling us. So, they're frightened by what you are doing. Okay. >> Okay. Let me tell you something real quick. >> Turn the vehicle off. >> Turn the vehicle off. Give me the keys. What I do now? >> Give me the keys. What >> in the world I do? Why did you take off from that stop? >> Goddamn [ __ ] [ __ ] Let go of your hand. >> Today we're talking about criminal cops who almost started crying when their backup didn't show up. And believe it or not, it ended badly for them. These are moments when the ones sworn to enforce the law get exposed for breaking it. And when their abuse of power finally backfires in the worst possible way, we get front row center seat. So, let's get started. in my car. Don't take pictures in my car. Get this out of here. Get too close to my car. You speak English. >> Don't touch me. >> Get this out of here. >> Don't touch me. You don't want me to touch you. Don't touch me. >> You have no law. >> A citizen was recording a police car in a public place, but these officers reacted right away as if a crime was happening. Of course, the man was standing on public property, and his First Amendment rights gave him the freedom to record anything he could see with his own eyes, and that police car was definitely one of them. However, the officers didn't see it that way. Sir, >> can I help you? >> You all right? >> Okay. >> No English. >> Don't Don't take pictures of our car. >> No English. >> No English. >> Listen. >> Oh, espanol. >> No. No. Don't take pictures of my car. Don't take pictures of my car. Get this out of here. Get too close to my car. You speak English. >> Don't touch me. >> Get this out of here. >> Don't touch me. You don't want me to touch you. Don't touch me. >> You have no lawful reason to touch me. You go. You're in my car. You're in my car. >> I'm only going to defend myself. You have no right to touch. >> You can defend. You can defend yourself. You're not going to go into You're going into my car taking pictures. I don't want you doing You're lying on three cameras. >> I got my camera on. >> The officer tried to EDP the citizen, meaning he tried to label him as mentally unstable just for using his right to film. That is ridiculous. Can you believe it? But since they reacted so aggressively, you couldn't help but wonder what were they really hiding in that car that made them so uncomfortable with someone simply looking inside. >> What were you doing? >> I was filming the I'm recording the whole time. Yeah, cuz I don't want to talk to you because there's no crime here. >> No, but you can't record somebody's car. >> Yeah, it is. >> It's our car. It's my car. It's our car. Okay. >> Who's it owned by? >> Who owns this car? Are you okay? >> The city, right? >> Are you okay? >> Don't you try to EDP me now? >> Yeah. I'm going to try to EDP because you know why? >> Why? Cuz cuz I'm exercising my rights in public. >> No, you're not exercising your rights. You're staring into my car. What's wrong with that? You're staring into my car. A crime. >> I guess you cannot. You can't cross the bridge. >> You're running on ego right now, right? >> No, I'm not running on ego. I don't want anybody looking. >> So, why can't you see me exercise my rights in public peacefully and and protect my rights? Cuz I don't know what you're taking a picture of. >> You took a oath to protect the property in there. That's my property in there. hours. >> Do you need help with anything? >> That empty coffee cup, that's what you're protecting. >> You got something to hide from the public, >> sir. Do you need help? >> Are you hiding something from the public? >> Absolutely not. Do you need >> So, why can't I look in a city vehicle? >> You want to see what's in my car? >> It's a city vehicle. >> Just look at the absurdity here. Using a camera in a public place was treated like an illness. Now, I don't know about you, but to me, this looked like an attempt to discourage anyone who dared to check police behavior. Instead of defending the Constitution, they were stomping on it right in front of the camera. And these were the same officers who at the start of their career swore an oath to protect that very constitution. >> It's a city vehicle. I can live inside. >> Do you need help with >> No, that's why I ignored you. I'm taking pictures of city property. >> City property. Yes. >> Cuz we're at a detail doing our job. >> Okay. I can watch you all day long. >> I can take pictures of you all day long. So why not protect me right now? >> How? How? >> Because I'm engaged in the constit. Your man's just been hands on and you allowed them to. >> I know. I know. I >> just You just watched him go hands on for no crime. >> Ask you a question, sir. You could go hands on for no crime. >> No, I We're trying to move you. >> It's okay to go hands on for no reason. >> We're trying to move you. >> Why would you do that? Am I damaging the vehicle? >> No, but you somebody's vehicle. >> It's our It's a city. >> Okay. Do you have a car, sir? Would you like it if I looked? >> My car is private property. That's public property. This is public property. >> Oh, this is public. >> Owned by the New York Police Department, >> which is owned by New Yorkers. >> It's not public property. >> It's tax funded, is it not? >> It's not. It's not public. >> It's tax funded. >> Is it tax funded? It's not public property. >> How's it funed? >> It's not your property. >> When the citizen explained that he had the right to look at a public vehicle because it was paid for with tax money, the officers called him suspicious. It seemed like the New York Police Department officers hadn't even passed the most basic six-month training. And if they had actually passed, then I truly don't know who could have been crazy enough to hire them in the first place. >> Tax money, right? >> I see people going in and looking at my >> See, I'm not going in. I'm looking. >> Yeah, I could do that all day long. I could do that all day long. >> Very suspicious behavior. >> Suspicious is not a crime. >> It's very suspicious behavior. >> It's not a crime. >> I don't know what you're doing. >> You enforce law, right? >> You enforce the law, right? >> I'm telling you to move along. >> I'm watching I'm watching police >> in the course of their duty. >> It's fearing us from doing our job. >> You're doing your job right now. >> No, I'm not doing my job right now. My job is to go bike lane. I can't do that. I'm paying attention to you. But I'm going to bother who told you to pay attention to me. >> I'm going to bother you. They're gonna take you to Hey, boss. You can't go this way. You gotta go the other way. >> Oh, so you are doing your job. Oh, so I'm not Excuse me. >> Yeah. You see, now I got to deal with this. >> Excuse me. You just did your job, right? >> No. No. I have to go talk to him. >> Go ahead. Have fun. Do your job. >> Huh? You're done. >> Done. What? >> Are you done with your ego? >> Perfect day. >> Are you That coffee wasn't good, huh? >> Still going. No, it's still going. >> You want some more? You want me to get you some? >> I'm going to have other units come here and take care of you. I'm not going to do it. >> Sure. >> You can keep moving. >> I can watch you all day, sir. All day long. While you're in that uniform, I can record you. I could watch you all day. >> That's fine. >> Do the same thing. >> Yeah, it's my right. >> The same boat here. >> Yeah, but there's a difference. You're supposed to protect my rights. >> You're supposed to protect. I know. I could tell. >> I don't even know what you're doing. >> I know. I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm recording you. >> Yeah. Oh, I can't do my You could. >> You could. So, you can't do your job cuz she's there. Cuz she's crossing the street. You can't do your job cuz she's standing here crossing the street. That's your choice. That's >> While one of the officers tried to move him away, the citizen clearly repeated that he wasn't interfering, only filming. But here's the irony. The officers admitted they were doing their job while at the same time claiming the filming was interfering. So, how can it be both? I'd say their biggest problem was feeling uncomfortable on camera because they knew their behavior would not look professional at all. >> Your choice. >> It's my choice. That's right. >> Uh-huh. >> That's right. >> Interference is a physical act. Me exercising my rights cannot interfere with your job. >> You interfere. >> Free speech is not interference. >> You interfere with my job. >> Free speech is interference. >> We got an additional unit over here post. >> Yeah. And it's somebody taking pictures. Alberta, how long you been on a job? >> 19 years, kid. >> You don't take your oath seriously no more. >> No, I don't. >> Yeah. You don't care about the Constitution. You American? >> I am. >> You don't care about the Constitution? >> Not yours. No. >> Your Constitution is different than mine. >> We all have the same constitution, sir. >> United States Constitution. Yeah. >> No. No. No. We don't. >> Yeah. >> Yours is much different. >> I just wonder at what point at what point do you see him running on ego? You see the smirk on his face that he knows he he just said on camera he doesn't care about the US Constitution. You just said that I don't care about your constitution. >> Okay, I'll rewind. I'll rewind and say we all have the same constitution. We're Americans. >> Yours is different. >> Can we help you with anything? >> No, I'm watching you. I'm checking on the vehicle. That's it. >> Check our vehicle. >> I can I can It's my civic duty as an American to check up on the government. >> Listen, you're you're interfering with >> No, I'm not, ma'am. You just did your job on camera. >> You just did your job. I want to walk away. They're going to have people remove you from over here. >> Why would you do that? I'm on a public sidewalk. Why would you do that? >> Is that what you want to do? >> Why would you do that? If I'm on the sidewalk watching police through the Right to Record Act, you know what the Right to Record Act did? >> Here we come to the key moment. An officer with 19 years on the job set on camera that he didn't believe in the Constitution. Do you understand the weight of those words? If you look closely at his smile, you could see he actually enjoyed saying it. And just seconds earlier, he looked like he would start crying when backup didn't show up. But don't worry, this was all about to end badly for the officers. >> Is that what you want? Let me get your card, please. >> Oh, you want my card? >> So I can hold you accountable. >> I don't understand. Where's the bullying tactics? What's the point of that? You see what I'm doing? I'm recording on the sidewalk. >> Uh-huh. >> So why not protect me right now? >> And I asked you why you looking inside our vehicle. Okay. >> All right. First of all, I didn't want to talk to you. I was going to take my pictures and be on my way. >> But then here comes the ego and the power driven, >> the going hands on for no reason. You just went, "No, you choosing to. Look at her doing her job. Look at her doing her job. >> And look at you wasting time. >> Yeah, I'm going to waste time >> drinking coffee. You going to do your job with the coffee in your hand? >> Okay, good job. >> I need your card, sir. >> You wanted to see You wanted to see my coffee. >> You want to write your name down on this one? >> No, I'm not going to write on that one. >> Thank you. I appreciate my own. >> You wanted to see my coffee, don't you? Remember that conversation? >> Yeah, >> you do. >> It seemed like you have >> I was asking you if you had anything. You don't have nothing to hide, right? >> No, it's coffee. >> Full transparency. Full trans. You believe in transparency, right? >> I believe in transparenc. >> All right. So, what's wrong with me watching you? What's wrong with me recording you? >> You're not watching me. You're looking inside my vehicle. I don't property in that vehicle. My personal property is in that vehicle. I don't know what you're looking at. >> It should be in the trunk. >> Doesn't have to be there. It could be wherever I want it to be. >> Okay. >> My car for today. >> It is. You utilize it. But it belongs to the people. It belongs to the city. >> Doesn't belong to you. >> Wow. You don't even know your job, sir. I found it unbelievable that someone with nearly two decades of service didn't know the basic difference between public and private property. But here we were. I guess you learned something new every day, even if it's only how desperate some officers could be. And if you're wondering how much longer this would drag on, well, it would last until the police ran out of every trick they had up their sleeves. >> No, I don't. Apparently, you were apparently telling me that my property is not my property. >> Yeah. Where's your supervisor? Cuz you're not a sergeant. How long you been a cop? >> I already told you. How many years? 19. >> And you're not a sergeant. >> I don't need to be a sergeant. >> Despite the ego speak to these officers. Excuse me. >> So now we're telling >> There's no sergeant. >> We're trying to do our >> You're lying again on three cameras. >> How am I? >> You just stopped three bikers. So how are you not doing your job? >> Interference is physical. You're interfering. >> Oh, so you are doing your job. Listen, >> you just admitted you are doing your job. >> I was standing over there. >> Me standing over here is interfering with your job. Me standing right here is interfering with your job. What? You got ADHD? >> I don't. >> All right, then. So, do your job. Do your job. Leave me alone. >> Leave me alone. Thank you. >> Thank you. Have a good day. Have a good day. >> You have a better one. >> Have a day you deserve. >> How about that? >> I thought I was going to run into Look at them doing their job. >> Look at them doing their job. >> So, interference is out the window. Interference is out the window. >> Yeah, you too. You too. >> The officers kept insisting that filming was interference, even though the law clearly said the opposite. When the citizen calmly stood on a public sidewalk, they treated him like a problem. Now, I don't know about you, but to me, this looked more like the tactic of repeat a lie a 100 times until it becomes the truth. And just look how much time they wasted arguing instead of actually doing their job. >> What are you doing right now? You need help with anything. See how silly that sounds? >> See how silly they are? >> Can I your cards, please? >> Yes. Thank you. >> Aren't Aren't you guys supposed to protect photographers in public? putting over a possible >> huh they didn't >> I didn't say I'm saying protect the constitution. You know what he said? >> What did he say? >> He said he don't believe in the constitution. >> No, I'm telling you cuz >> you just got him letting you know what he said. Can you believe that as an American? >> Yeah, but you cannot go inside the court. >> I didn't go inside. I've been outside the whole time just >> recording whatever I can see. >> But don't say >> Yeah. So tell them that >> what happen if they try to open the door to get out. >> Then I if they say excuse me, I'll move out the way. Simple. >> More Spanish cuz if there's J come out, they need to draw out right away. They don't want to get hurt. >> I will never I will never stop you from doing your job. That's obstruction. >> Recording is fine, but safe distance in case the job come over. They have to draw off. They don't want like they don't want to hit you. Like >> if if they get a job and I see they get a job and they're getting in the car, I will not stop them from getting in the car. That's obstruction. >> I would say, "Excuse me, sir. We got to go." I say, "Okay, go ahead." The officers tried to argue that filming might interfere with them getting out of the car, but the citizen clearly said he would always step aside if asked. That was just common sense. He repeated that he would never block their work while they searched for excuses to push him away. And with every passing minute, these officers only kept escalating things further. >> They drove up. >> Yo, let me know. Hey, sir. We getting in the car. Excuse me. >> You know what I mean? They have to jump in. They just drove off. >> Can I get your car, please? Can I get your car, please? Thank you. Then he said, Then he said, "You okay? You need a bus?" Then he tried to EDP me for taking pictures in public. What's up with that, bro? You know what that is? What's that called? You know what that's called? >> What? Let's go ego. >> It happens sometimes when you be on the force for too long. You start resenting the public. You know what I mean? You get into certain situations and then you start hating the public and then you take it out on the public and then it's no longer community policing. Now it's us versus them. >> You know what I mean? No more situational awareness. Oh, he's just taking pictures. Let him take his pictures. As long as he doesn't damage the car. As long as he doesn't commit a crime, he's fine. He's in public. >> You know what I mean? That's how it should have went. How you doing? So, you need anything? No. Okay. >> You know what I mean? That's how you say, "Hey, good morning. How you doing?" >> The citizen kept insisting he was only using a camera, but the officers tried to betray him as some kind of obstacle. However, they wouldn't be able to keep their act for much longer. And from the look on their faces, you could just see how frustrated they were that things weren't going the way they had planned. >> Don't commit a crime. have a good day. That's it. And then I would have been on my way. But the going hands on, you can't look at public property. This this car doesn't belong to the people. It doesn't belong to the city. He doesn't believe in the constitution. Come on now. Look how many people came for somebody taking pictures in public, bro. It's ridiculous. Thanks for your cards. I appreciate it. Not even. And you guys are taught deescalation. >> Not Not even his partner tried to deescalate. Nobody. >> That's what happened when you knew your rights. The officers ended up exposed and forced into a walk of shame, no matter how badly they wanted to avoid it. That's why you should never give up your rights. Because the more of us who defend them, the fewer cops there will be who try to break them. And with that, we come to another group of officers who thought the same way, that nobody could film them even though they were standing in public. But their mistake would cost them, too. Stick around. Here was another case of completely legal filming from a sidewalk. And another moment where criminal cops almost started crying when their backup didn't show up. The bank employees clearly panicked as if a camera could break into the vault by itself. And then security showed up, who, by the way, wasn't even a police officer. And that's when things really started to get strange. >> You think you can go somewhere else? This is kind of like a private property. >> I'm sorry. You said who did what? >> Can you uh go somewhere else with the video? >> What do you mean? >> Cuz this is kind of like private property and they're not super comfortable with you doing that. >> I can barely hear you, man. >> I said they're not comfortable with you doing filming, so can you go somewhere else? >> Yeah. I had no intentions on going like in or on their property. I wasn't even going to be long. Just like a couple hours or so. >> It's okay with them. >> No, it's not. Yeah, >> even if I'm not on their property. >> That's technically this is still plastic car property. >> The sidewalk. >> Yeah. >> Do we you want to talk about it with the police? We can >> see now you making me nervous. I'm just doing my job, man. I'm sitt here just to record, bro. I'm not talking to nobody. Real peaceful. >> That's all I'm saying is if you could just move somewhere else. Maybe the bank down there or maybe the bank that's right here. >> But they sent me to come actually here. >> Hey, look. The security guard showed up first. Polite but firm, he told the man to go somewhere else. The problem was somewhere else wasn't a legal term, nor was it a category in the law. He even had stepped inside the bank lobby, which was also a public area. He could have done the same thing. And as for the sidewalk, that didn't even need explaining. So, how long do you think it took before they called the police? >> Ain't even going to be long, bro. You mind scooting to the side for me real quick? >> If you mind stop recording, >> but I was sent out here to I got to get my back in. >> I just can't do it right now. >> Yeah, man. It's It's perfectly legal. It's It's legal, ain't it? >> It is. But if they say they're uncomfortable, I just wish you could play mine of how they feel. You know what I mean? >> Now, hold on. I'm looking. So, this is what you can do because I'm just sent out here just to record. So what they can do is it look like they actually have blinds if they shut that. >> See man, you ain't got to Hey, bro. For real, bro. You ain't got to do that, man. >> Go somewhere else. >> I told you give me like an hour or two, bro. Like >> she's on. The security guard claimed that the employees felt uncomfortable. But laws weren't written around who felt uneasy. They were built on constitutional rights. And yes, if you guessed it wouldn't take long, congratulations. You were right. It's pretty rare on this channel. In just a few minutes, security was on the phone with the police over someone who hadn't even broken a single law. >> Hey, I'm about to actually go record him on this police call. purple shoes. He's actually walking towards me right now. >> Why would you do that, bro? >> I believe so. Yes, he's trying to film outside the building. Trying to get some information from outside. >> Oh my gosh. I told him do not call the police. anything to escalate. >> Let me talk to you real quick. I didn't say nothing to escalate. >> Is he lying too? >> The citizen took note that they were describing him as if he were a criminal. He stayed calm, but the audience could clearly see how absurd the situation was. Meanwhile, the security guard was still on the phone with the police, exaggerating and twisting the story just to convince them to come. And as you'll soon see, it wouldn't take much at all to get the officers rushing over. Hey y'all. He describing what I'm wearing. So he got to say I get paid to shoot people to the police, y'all. I don't want to follow the guy, y'all. He's walking all the way around the corner up and down. I'm not going to follow him. Hey, brother. You can tell them they don't need you no more. Look. >> The bank staff finally pulled down the metal shutters. Instead of doing that right away, they chose phone calls, patrolling, and extra drama. They wasted time and dragged out the issue, which only made things worse. Of course, it wasn't complicated. If they wanted privacy and to stop being filmed, they could have made the lobby private. You couldn't expect someone to give up their civil rights for that, could you? >> Look, look, that's what I told you to do from the gym. [Music] The security guy's down there just pacing back and forth. That's why I don't want to turn it off, y'all. You never know when he'll come and what he may say. So, I'm I typically edit this part, but I'mma leave it rolling. We going to keep the camera rolling. They got to close all the blinds. It's going to be dark. >> The police finally arrived. But instead of telling the bank that filming was legal, they immediately said the citizen was causing a disturbance. A disturbance to who, sir? He was standing on a public sidewalk. Watch now how the police used the word disturbance as a universal excuse to limit free speech. Great job officers. Your cover up was showing and it was only going downhill from here. >> Hello. >> What's up? >> How are you today, sir? >> I'm all right. >> Daniel, right? >> Who? >> Daniel's your name. >> Who? >> I'm asking. Is your name Daniel? >> No. We'll make you say something like that. >> I'm Hunter. >> No. >> Okay. >> Yeah. How you doing, Hunter? Is that a badge number on there? >> No, we don't have badge numbers on our badges. >> Are y'all deputies? What? What? What is your badge number? >> 16. >> 16? Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> What's your name? >> Huh? What's your name? I I never gave it. >> That's why I'm asking it >> cuz I don't know who you are. >> I'd rather not. >> That's fine. >> Uh-huh. >> Um Okay. >> What's going on? >> So, this is the third bank that's called that you've been outside recording it. >> So, I'm letting you know that your behavior is creating a disturbance in our city. If it's continued, we'll have to do some enforcement action on it. >> Like what? >> Your behavior? >> Like what? What's my behavior? >> You're talking to people at the bank. I didn't speak to nobody here >> about their vaults. >> I didn't speak to nobody here, sir. >> This one. >> So, what's the issue with that? Asking about the vault. >> Okay, I'm telling you, your behavior is crazy. >> The officer claimed that this was the third bank that had complained about him. So, that must mean he has to be the problem. But the number of calls didn't change the fact that the law was on his side. The police made a logical mistake. If you do something legal several times, then somehow it becomes illegal. Boy, by that logic, anyone could say anything and then it just magically becomes true. >> It's creating a disturbance. They're calling us, so they're frightened by what you are doing. Okay. >> Okay. Let me tell you something real quick. >> I didn't want to speak to nobody. Now, the first officer I came in contact with, what is his name? >> I don't know. >> The first officer, I really want to highlight that guy. He could tell you I don't want to speak to y'all. Y'all keep coming up Toledo. Not you, but I'm talking about like far as like the bank. So, this is how it went. I'm outside doing my thing. They come outside asking me a couple questions. That's none of their business. So, in return, I ask them a few questions. That's none of my business. Okay? >> Fair exchange is no robbery. You know, and me just asking where's the vault located? >> Any bank you go into, you can see the vault. >> That's not a secret question. Okay. >> So, let me ask you this. You saying you gonna do something if I keep on going around town flexing, exercising my rights to record in public? You got an issue with that? >> Okay. I'm saying your behavior. >> You I'm not What is my behavior? It's legal. Okay. >> So, you want to create an issue here, Mr. Peterson? >> You are creating an issue. >> You're I'm exercising my right to record in public. >> Okay. And >> your job is to uphold and to protect the Constitution. Why ain't you trying to do that? >> Banks. >> Why? Hey, listen. Hey, hey, this is the deal, man. Protect my >> No, no, no. Check. Check this out. I was just commending >> outside of our community. You're coming into our community and you're causing problems. >> What problem am I causing? >> You're causing the banks to call us. If somebody's calling 911, >> the officer threatened to arrest him if he kept filming and causing fear. But fear wasn't a crime. And constitutional rights didn't vanish just because someone felt uncomfortable. You didn't need to be an expert to understand the First Amendment. Yet somehow so many officers failed to grasp such a simple concept. And if they couldn't understand this, what could we really expect from them? >> 911. because they think there's an issue. >> They think, but that's where you come in and you educate them like the dispatch been doing over the phone already. They've been telling me, "Hey, they told me already you're legal." >> I can also educate you. >> Well, and educate me on something that educate me. What is the first amendment? >> That is what I'm doing. >> What is the first amendment? >> I'm telling you, if you cause >> But what is the first amendment? Can you recite that? >> If you have a course, I'm sure you want to recite that. >> Placing people in fear enough to >> What you going to do? >> Let us call this order. >> Say it. What you going to do? >> Let's call this order the copy. >> What are you you trying to create some [ __ ] What are you going to do? you this course of behavior. I'm going to take you to jail. >> You're a you're a liar, bro. I would love for you to do it, man. You know, you I would love for you to do some >> No, it's not. When you see my work, cuz you're going to be on the internet. Once you see my work, you're going to see what I do. I'm really polite to people. I was just highlighting Pittsburgh. >> Okay. Send me my link. I'd love to check out your work. >> Hey, you you going to see though when you see the video. I was just highlighting Pittsburgh. I'm like I'm like one thing one thing I was just highlighting Pittsburgh on is because after the first officer came in contact with me when other people started calling they was educating people over the phone. I like that. And I was just saying I'm like you know what I said it's 50/50. I like that they educating them over the phone but on at the same time they can actually send an officer out here and I can highlight them and then you come up here walking up trying to create some >> worst of all these officers were so clueless that a single man was the true expert on the law. The officer probably thought he was fighting a battle he could not win, but he chose to dig himself deeper. People watching this saw the role reversal. The citizen calmly explained the law while the uniform acted defensive and unsure. Pride drove him and not the law. More trouble is coming. >> Uh, Officer Peterson, you did. So, if I keep exercising my right to recording members of my community in fear, >> your community, >> my this is a community that I protect. >> Okay. This is my people. We citizens, man. What you talking about? >> You live in this community? Ah, that's that's neither here or there. >> I appreciate you visiting our community. >> It's neither here or there. >> But I'm here to protect the people in my community. >> You ain't trying to protect the people, man. You got you got you got one job to do as the officer. Your main job as an officer is to uphold and to protect the Constitution. >> You don't even know it. You don't know it. >> So like when a crime's committed, I don't have to investigate crimes. >> What is the First Amendment? >> I understand what the First Amendment is. There's a lot more to my job besides >> What is the First Amendment? There's five elements to the First Amendment. Can you name all five? >> You understand that? I'm not getting into this with you. >> Exactly. You can't tell me that. >> I'm telling you what consequences can be. >> Oh man. Oh man. >> You understand that? >> Hey, listen. I ain't even got to tell you what the consequence is going to be if you do some like that. >> Okay. >> You know what? You know what a 1983 is? >> Nope. You don't even know what the first amendment is. But when you go back to your car, your little fart box, you get on that phone and you look up a 1983. I don't want that on you, man. I was just highlighting y'all to come. Listen, let's calm down. Let's deescalate. >> I You're the one that's amped up, man. >> My whole job is to shine light on my government officials. >> I appreciate it. >> Now, whether you look good or bad, man, that's that's totally on you, man. You going to see where I came in contact. >> Even the officer who was so desperate to prove the man was a threat had to realize he wasn't. He was just someone filming and exercising his rights in public. In truth, it was the officer who had taken the bait. But don't be fooled by the sudden, softer tone. Those sweet words from the police wouldn't last long. Their attitude was about to shift again and not in a good way. >> In contact with that first officer, I highlighted him. I wish I would have got his name. I was about ready to run out to the police department to pull up the video and say, "Hey, look y'all. This dude did a good job." >> Okay, I'm telling you, we got more than one job here. Okay, I'm just >> What is your main whole purpose of your job? >> Okay, there's a lot of purposes. is to protect and to uphold the Constitution. >> Try to oversimplify it, but there's a lot of different things we do, man. Okay. >> It's a lot of things you do as the officer. A lot of things. >> Is there anything I can help you with today? >> Huh? >> Is there anything else I can help you? >> You can tie my shoe. >> I think you can tie it. >> Can you tie my shoe? >> They're tied. >> You said you want to help me. >> Is there anything? You can help me with tying my shoe. >> I They're tied. >> You got $5? >> No, I don't. >> You got $2. I got Cash App. >> I don't have Cash App. >> I got Venmo. I got PayPal. I got Zale. >> Why do you need $2? >> I just need $2, man. Uh the >> You want a piece of pizza? $2 a piece of pizza or something? Eat some cash. >> You going to do that? Come on. >> You want some pizza? >> Come on. Come on with it. >> It's right over there. Is the best best station pizza? >> Come on with it, man. Come on. >> Now, if I do something for you, will you do something for me? >> You want >> I'm just asking. >> Why are you trying to make deals, man? >> I'm not making a deal. I'm just asking if you will >> do something for you. >> The officer tried to regain his dignity with a gesture of kindness, but here's the paradox. Constitutional rights weren't for sale in exchange for a slice of fast food. To me, this was a perfect example of how the system tried to calm down a situation with a small gesture. Still, I'm thinking the officers here had hidden motives. I mean, was he really just being nice, wanting to buy someone a pizza? >> Something for you. >> Yeah. >> Can I at least call you by your first name? Call me Bartholomew, man. >> Bartholomew. It's good to meet you, Bartholomew. >> For real, man. For real. Come on. You going to walk me over here? >> Well, once it's green. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I don't want to jaywalk or nothing. >> But but but but for real, Officer Peterson. >> Yeah. >> My whole goal is to I love highlighting our government officials. >> I know. >> Now, whether they look good or bad, that is totally on them. I've been having good interactions all day with officers today. >> Really good, man. So, I don't want you to be the first one to come and with directors. I know you got your task I got to check off. You ain't got to tell me don't stand in the street. Don't do I know not to do none of that, man. >> Yeah. So, you f to get you f to buy me a pizza. >> You You want a slice of pizza? >> Yeah. Hell yeah. >> I think like silly, but >> And you going to give me $20? >> No, I give you $20. >> Five? >> Okay. >> I'll buy you hungry. I buy a slice of pizza. >> Okay, man. I mean, you making enough of yourself, man. I I will say that. >> Okay. >> You You is doing something no officer has ever I'm talking about in in my line of work. >> How long you been doing this? >> About to be a year. >> A year? >> Yeah. >> You never Nobody ever bought sliced pizza. >> Man, I got an officer that wouldn't hand me his pen and piece of paper. >> This is what we live off of. Gas station pizza, man. >> Uh uh uh. One officer wouldn't even hand me his pen to write something down. >> Well, I like >> My opinion was that the officer wanted to buy him a pizza just to lure him away from the bank. he had been filming moments earlier. But unfortunately for him, the man wasn't about to give up his rights so easily. I don't know if the officer truly thought someone would forget their rights over a bit of food. I mean, maybe he was just foolish. A lot of cops are. Oh, wait. Yep. This one definitely was. >> Like, are you prized, man? Like >> the officer that pul the officer that pulled up the first time. >> How do you guys do? >> He just likes recording people. So, I'm going to buy him a piece of pizza. Is that okay? What kind? We got cheese or pepperoni? >> Cheese. >> I'll take a pepperoni. >> One cheese and one pepperoni. >> Yes, ma'am. >> The guy that pulled up I We need to get his name, man. >> Okay. >> He uh he gave me everything. I put him to the test. I said, "I I wasn't talking, though. I'm reaching out." He hand me a pen and a piece of paper. Man, I want to salute him. I'mma get his name. So, he did good, man. So, tell him. Say say which one of y'all ran into the guy the first time. He didn't say nothing. I didn't say nothing to nobody. So, uh, >> so why'd you talk to me? If you didn't talk to him, why you talk to me? >> There's different styles of doing this and more than one way to skin a cat. >> You gonna once once you actually find your video, I'm going to give it to you, man. I'm going give it to you. I'm going to give it to you before we leave since you doing what you're doing. >> While they shared the pizza, the conversation turned friendlier. The officer asked for his name, but I believed he only wanted to identify him in a softer way, as if nobody could see through it. However, I was proud of our cameraman. He truly understood his mission well. The real twist was that the officer didn't realize he was the one being played. >> You doing what you're doing? I'm going to give it to >> Send it to our page. I'll find it on there. >> No, I'm going to give it to you and write it down. >> Okay. >> All right. That one's cheese. That one's pepperoni. >> That's what I told. It's the best gas station pizza. This is what we live off of. >> All right. >> You got to get the conversation. >> I turn it on me, y'all. Cuz this is a first, y'all. What are you doing? >> All right, y'all. Stay with it, y'all. I'm about to run out of battery. I really appreciate this, man. This a good way to This is a good way to recover, man. You a ladies man. >> I have my lady. I got a lady. >> Okay. I'm just saying because you I I can see I can see you got the gift of gas, man. Got it locked down. >> You got the gift of G. I this this was a nice way to make it up, man. But again, I'm I'm I'm real peaceful, man. I I really don't like to uh I'm not trying to antagonize anybody and uh I just try to catch on live how people act with the camera, right? >> And I try to get on camera how the police officers just react to these because what what make these so interesting? Let me tell you something real quick. when they get the >> when they get the call, they get a call about a guy standing on the sidewalk um you know recording. >> Yeah. >> Perfectly legal. So they actually get the >> the officer tried to soften his tone and said the citizen was still causing reactions. In other words, he admitted there was no crime only that the institutions felt uncomfortable. To me, that's the heart of the problem. If discomfort became the standard, then any right could be taken away, right? >> So they actually get to pull up. They know he's not a threat and they actually get to critically think these situations out. And I just like to see how they play it out because I say, "Hey, they know it was nothing serious. I would like to see how the officers critically think these out. This is like live training." You know what I'm saying? I know y'all do it at the force. That's different. I appreciate >> you get a You get an extra It's live, man. I get >> to be able to do that. So, >> so let's critically think. >> Oh, yeah. Let me let me give you my my page before I get out of here. >> What's your page? It's really easy to remember. Kansas City accountability, you know, and I tell officers, look at some of these videos. Got to be some of the reactions I get from officers. I'm like, out of all the videos out there, how do they still approach the same way? Pittsburgh been good. >> Pittsburgh been good. >> So, just go ahead. >> Put yourself in my shoes for a second. >> Go ahead. >> This is the third time somebody's called on. >> So, that that's why I come out. That's why I tell you, hey, we're causing a little bit of an issue in the city. Okay? I know you're doing what you're doing. >> I know some of it still lists some reactions. So, you're listing some reactions. I just appreciate we tone it down just a little bit. >> So, the the thing was this where we're where where with you where where it really turned into that issue. You told me if I keep all I'm doing is exercise. You can't turn a constitutional protected activity. >> I found it hilarious how proud this officer was of himself. He honestly thought he had solved everything with a single slice of pizza. He didn't realize the man was striking back with riddles and questions. I love it when officers think they've outsmarted someone without realizing they're actually the ones being outsmarted. >> Activity into a crime. All I'm doing is on the sidewalk. >> There's multiple pages. >> Okay, man. Okay. Okay. I ain't going to go tiff or tail. We can leave on a good note, man. Hey, hold on. I'mma do this right here in front of you. >> How's the pizza? Give it a rating. It looks a little like it's been >> I wish I had it fresh, >> but to be a old pizza, it's good, man. Where I come from, man, sometimes you got to eat stuff worse than this, though. So, man, it ain't no shame in the game. Now, the legendary question. >> Uhhuh. >> For you. >> What's 550 divided by two? >> 550 divided by two. >> Mhm. >> 225. >> Okay. Okay. Now, one more before I get you out of here. >> Okay. >> Let's say we all in a race, right? Let's say we in exotic cars, right? >> Yeah. >> We all in a race. >> I'm in second place. You pass me. What place are you in? >> First. >> You going to like You going to like when you see this, man. >> All right. I appreciate it. >> Both answers was wrong, though. >> Okay. Have a good one. >> You have a beautiful day, man. Stay safe out there. All right, Kansas City. >> All right, Kansas City. Uh, I'm going to let y'all rate that. >> In the end, the officer walked away with the lesson of his life and went through a serious reality check. However, his punishment for the ignorance he showed wasn't finished yet, but we'll get to see that a little later. First, let me ask you this. Have you ever run into officers who thought they were above the law? >> Right, man. They they they definitely going to watch these videos. I was just highlighting Pittsburgh, y'all. Uh Officer Peters, he you know, he recovered. He you know, he did give me a slice of pizza. It It's you know, so uh I'm not here to antagonize y'all. Pittsburgh, I'm actually really highlighting y'all because um y'all did things several things today that other police departments didn't do. So, I actually commend y'all for that. But I was just saying like, "Hey, I wish I can meet up with the first officer that I linked up with. Man, you did really good." And um and it's all just learning, y'all. We we we out here educating people. Everybody can learn something from these. And it it helped build transparency with the public and police officers. So, these are really fun to do, y'all. And it actually give y'all onsite training. So, I'm here to shine light on y'all, man. Now, whether you look good or bad, it's on you. Uh, salute to Officer Peterson here. He going to pull off. I'm sure he going to go the other way. I knew that. All right. So, we came all the way out here to Pittsburgh, y'all. It It really wasn't a waste of time. The people out here been really nice. >> Now, if it still wasn't clear what happened in the end, now you'd hear the man's own explanation. Simply put, if the police were going to play their game pretending to be clueless, then why shouldn't citizens play that same game, too. Listen for yourself, because his words made the point better than anything else. And trust me, the way he said it left no doubt about who really won that day. >> Very nice. So, uh, I met a couple of citizens that actually understand the First Amendment, that understand. And, um, I didn't want to put, y'all know, y'all know me when y'all see my work. I'm not really like that with officers, man. But it's coming to point, man. They they they they going to push you, man. They going to push you if you don't know your rights, if you don't know your law. But still, all in all, I still would like to say uh salute to Pittsburgh. I wish I knew the first officer name that I came into contact with. Uh you did great, man. If y'all want to see more content, y'all want to push us out to uh do more of these videos, hit that subscribe button, smash that like button, and most definitely leave a comment. Till next time, Kansas City. Peace. The video of the officer eventually ended up online where he became a complete clown and a perfect example of how police officers should never behave. Well, maybe that would finally teach him to act the way officers were supposed to act next time. If you thought this was bad, well, wait until you see the officer who stopped an 81-year-old man for absolutely nothing. Speaking of criminal cops who almost started crying when backup didn't show up. Meet Deputy Jason Johnson, whose traffic stop ended badly because he abused an 81-year-old man. Johnson pulled over Olan Lang for driving 55 in a 45 zone. The elderly man didn't stop right away, but looked for a safe side street to pull into. And that simple act made the officer furious. The story was only getting darker and worse things were about to happen. >> Hello. How are you? >> Hey, now Johnson County Sheriff's Office. >> Huh? >> Deputy Johnson County Sheriff's Office. >> Hey, next time just pull over right in the middle of the road. >> I don't give a [ __ ] where you pull over at, tell you the truth. >> Okay? >> Cuz I turn on my blue lights. You slowed down. I pulled out behind your blue lights. I know you acknowledge me, but you need to pull over. You don't get to dictate where this traffic stop happens at. Okay? >> Yeah. >> Understand? >> And in the meantime, even with me behind your blue lights on, quit paying attention to me. Just pull over cuz now you're driving across the yellow line. So if a vehicle's coming, you're in their lane of traffic. Cool. Driver license insurance. >> Okay. So, yes, if I'm just honestly if I sound aggressive, yes, I'm a little perturbed because you could have pulled over at any time. >> Yeah, I didn't I didn't know that. U Lane did what most of us would have done. He wasn't crazy enough to slam the brakes in the middle of a highway. But to this officer, safety didn't matter. Only showing what his authority meant did. Deputy Johnson instantly acted arrogantly. Instead of explaining the situation, he scolded the man for not stopping right away. Maybe he felt bold because he saw weakness in an elderly man. But that belief was about to backfire hard. >> And I'm going to assume you didn't have your seat belt on. >> Huh? >> I'm going to assume you didn't have your seat belt on. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. So, in case I didn't say the reason the reason why I pulled you over, you come around that curve running 54. You sped up to 56. speed limit on this road is 45. >> I don't know that either. >> How long How long you drove this road? >> A long time. Yeah. >> You pass a 45 mph speed limit sign on it every day you drive it then. >> Yeah, I know. I know. I just was watching, you know, I was I was speeding. I need to watch for that young speed limit. Thanks. All right. So, I go and make you a deal. I'm going to give you a warning for your speeding. But I am going to ticket you for no seat belt. >> It is nice of the day. >> I don't know about you, but to me, his behavior looked more like he was in the military than at a routine traffic stop. Was it really that hard to understand that an old man might not have known where it was safe to pull over? That wasn't a crime. And at worst, the man should have gotten a simple ticket. However, this was only the opening act. >> Free speeding and for driving left the center, but I'm going to give you ticket for no seat belt. Sound good? >> Sounds good. >> All right. [Music] If you looked closely enough, Johnson never said, "I'll be back with a ticket." But instead left the man confused. Lane, thinking it was all over, started slowly moving his car. Johnson instantly exploded with curses, shouting and ordering him to get out of the vehicle. From that moment on, it was clear his ego had been crushed, and he decided to escalate the situation. What followed would push things far beyond control. What in the [ __ ] are you doing? Do not move that vehicle again. >> Turn the vehicle off. >> Turn the vehicle off. Give me the keys. >> What did I do now? >> Give me the keys. >> What in the world did I do? >> Why did you take off from that stop? >> I was wrong. I stopped. >> Why did you take off from this stop? >> Why? >> You better give me a goddamn good reason right now. >> I don't know. Step out the vehicle. >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> Goddamn [ __ ] Let go of your hand. Now, how is it possible that the officer didn't even consider that the old man might simply be confused? Instead of showing understanding, he used brutal force. To me, this looked more like searching for a reason to show power than serving the law. The elderly man tried to explain he didn't understand the procedure. But Johnson roughly handcuffed him and said he had earned a trip to jail. Well, soon he would find out what he had earned. [Music] Couple more. I got one tip 15. I had this guy try to run off from me on this traffic stop. >> I didn't know that either. >> No, I didn't. Bull. Get in there. [Music] >> I'm go for [Music] step up in there. [ __ ] [ __ ] >> Well, I'm sorry. I didn't >> put your legs in. You done earned your trip to jail. Lone Hstead 23 robot off 217 16 central. Give me next record on the rotation. >> I know you're 81 years old, but that's the most stupidest thing you could have done to date. >> Well, I guess so it is. I'm really sorry. I guess I learned my lesson. >> Yeah. >> An 81-year-old man, barely able to move was treated like a fugitive. If the goal of the police was to protect citizens, then why humiliate a man who was clearly confused? You didn't need to be some highlevel detective to see he wasn't a criminal at all. But listen now because Officer Johnson was about to try to prove the exact opposite. And that's where the real trouble started. >> Old 81y old man. Olan Olan Lane from Blevens. The old man. >> Yeah. 81. So I don't know if he's got something upstairs or what. I asked him right now. You need to tell me you got a mental issue. You got dementia. You got something going on? No. I guess I should have waited for you to finish your stuff, huh? Yeah. Yeah. >> When an 81-year-old man tried to explain he had memory problems, those concerns were not supposed to be ignored. The police should have been trained about dementia and strokes. But instead, Johnson showed how incompetent he was. Even the other officers who arrived were shocked by what they saw. And when I said backup hadn't shown up, I wasn't talking about them. You're about to see what I meant. >> He did get a raw dog cussing from you. >> He did get a raw dog kissing from you. >> You feeling okay today? >> I don't feel good right now. >> Well, no, not right now. But where were you headed? Look at you drinking or anything or you taking any kind of prescription or anything this morning? >> I guess that's why you lived 81, huh? >> I guess. >> So, what's the deal? >> Thought you were done and going to leave or >> what? On the traffic stop. >> Oh, I didn't know what I didn't know the procedure. Okay. >> The officers who arrived spoke to the old man the way Johnson should have done long ago. Right away, you could see the difference between someone acting like a normal officer and someone who wasn't there to protect citizens, but only to prove authority to himself. And if you thought Deputy Johnson would realize his mistake here, well, don't get your hopes up. >> You still have a German stop very often? No, >> no. >> I was trying to understand you thinking why you took off. >> Okay. >> I said he said had your driver's license and everything. >> Yeah, I didn't know that. I'm not going about five years ago. I was having trouble with my memory. >> You got any family around here? and just my daughter. >> Have his daughter come get him. >> You got a cell phone? >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> A little bit better. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. They're not made for comfort. >> No, I see. >> Just call your daughter and have somebody come get you. >> Lane complained that he didn't feel well, but Johnson kept treating him like a criminal. When the man said he had suffered three strokes and was living with dementia, the response should have been urgent medical care, not more threats. Only when his daughter arrived did they finally start treating him like a human being instead of a fugitive. But by then the damage was already done. >> You okay? What's your daughter's name? >> I'm sure they're going to confuse now. I can't remember her name. >> Right. Well, >> it's Sabrina. Yes. >> This D Johnson County Sheriff's Office. >> I don't want nothing to happen to you. >> I've uh Mr. uh Mr. Lane, your daddy? >> Yes. >> Okay. I need you. He's okay. Um I pulled him over on traffic stop and he tried to take off on me. Um we we've got Patrick come to check him out and he's says he ain't feeling well. A little disoriented. I don't know what's going on with him, but can you come up here and uh pick him up in case the ambulance releases him? My dad has had three strokes and he's in the process of getting dementia. >> Come down to Bleven's cutthrough road two off 219 23 and we're the dirt road on the right that takes you up towards Tyson's. >> Okay, we'll be there as fast as we can. Thank you so much. >> The daughter confirmed that her father had dementia and was in poor condition. Do you see it now? Johnson had every sign right in front of him, yet he still arrested the old man roughly. Then he realized how far he had gone and tried to politely explain how the man could avoid losing his ticket. Well, kind words weren't going to erase everything he had already done. >> Don't Don't drive fast. Drive careful. So, Mr. Holen, back to what I was originally going to do. I'm still going to give you a warning for your speeding and driving left of center like I told you. Still going to give you that citation for no seat belt. I'm also going to give you a citation just for fleeing. I'm not going to charge you with a felony right now. Okay, Miss Lane, by the way, we're going to have the ambulance come check you out. >> Attorney, >> we're probably going to take you to jail, but we're going to take your vehicle to jail. Okay, cuz you don't need to be driving. >> All right, you can put this with your wallet in your pocket somewhere where you can remember it. Okay. >> Yeah. >> I'm also going to tell Sabrina when she gets here, like I said, I'm still going to sight you for the no seat belt cuz I for what we had going. I already had everything pulled up and for flee in charge cuz you took off on me cuz he was sitting back. Huh? >> Yeah, I didn't know that. >> Yeah, you did. >> Yeah, I know I did. >> I mean, you did. >> Hallelujah. Johnson was fired just 3 days after the incident for brutality and unprofessional behavior, which at first looked like a victory for common sense. But instead of being removed from duty, he quickly found a new job in the neighboring county that made it clear how rotten this system was. Bad cops didn't disappear. They just switched badges and addresses. And sadly, this story was only one example of a much bigger problem. So, you think this was bad? Of course, you haven't seen anything yet. In the next video, we're diving into a case that's even more outrageous. Some officers don't just cross that line, they obliterate it. So don't miss what's coming
