What do you mean you're not going with me? >> Well, I'm just I can't >> I told you that you're going to lean up here while I verify your ID. >> Did you hear what I said? >> Yeah, I heard you. >> I'm not doing nothing. >> What's he reaching for? >> Ma'am, please just let me call. >> Ma'am, give me your identification, please. >> What do you have in there, ma'am? >> Nothing. Just money. Look, I had >> You're fiddling around too much. >> No problem. Reasonable suspicion. >> Stand over the bicycle. >> What do you mean stand over it? >> Stand over it the way you were. >> Why? >> Because I'm asking you to do so. >> What is your reasonable? >> Today we're talking about times when dumb cops realized their crimes were being recorded and their power instantly crumbled. These aren't just random incidents. They're shocking examples of what happens when authority is abused and regular people fight back with undeniable proof. From hidden cameras to quickthinking witnesses, every moment here proves that justice can strike back in the most unexpected ways. >> I'm not doing >> Turn around. Hey, >> you're going to make You're going to make me call You're going to make me call for somebody else to go. Hey, I'm not I'm just >> This police officer got a call about a man who had been in the restroom for an hour. Instead of wondering if the man felt sick or needed help, he immediately switched to throw out mode. I liked how this was his first reaction. Rather than worrying about someone's help, honestly, some officers really don't know how to judge a situation. This one was clearly among them. But this encounter was far from over. for over an hour. [Music] >> You've been here for over an hour and the employees want you to leave. You need to come out now. >> What was that? >> I can't hear you anymore. >> Yeah. Well, you're being trespassed because you've been in here for over an hour. >> You hear me? >> Yeah. Hurry up. >> Do you need any medical attention? >> 243 open code for you. Cancel fire anymore. The officer explained through the door that the man was trespassed for staying in the restroom too long. Legal terminology was already being thrown at someone who could barely speak. To charge someone with trespassing, they first had to be warned not to be there. And only if they came back could they be trespassing. But of course, this officer didn't know that. Hurry up. >> What's your first name? >> Yes, it does. What's your first name? You're being trespassed. So, what's your first name? >> What was that? >> It means you're not allowed to come back here anymore. at all. What is your first name? My name is Peter. >> What? >> Peter. >> Peter. >> Peter, what's your last name? >> Spell it for me. >> Peter. How do you spell your last name? >> Is that >> here? The officer started asking for personal information. The man said his name was Peter, but he clearly had some trouble spelling his last name. Instead of showing patience, the officer confused him with more questions and unnecessary comments. I mean, wait, had the man even committed a legal offense for the officer to have the right to ask him this in the first place? >> He isn't void. >> What do you mean you think so? >> So, say it again. Say it slow. B I >> B I L A L O >> L L L A L O. >> So B I L L A L O. >> Okay. And then what is your date of birth? >> May 9th. >> What? >> May 9th. >> Of what year? >> Um May. >> What? >> May. >> May 9th of what year? 97 98 9 >> 98. >> How old are you? >> 278. >> You know, if you're lying to me about your date of birth, that's going to be worse, right? >> It doesn't matter. How do you not know your date of birth? >> Questions about his date of birth turned into a test of patience. The man, clearly confused and maybe nervous, didn't give a precise answer. The officer didn't try to understand why, instead using it as proof of dishonesty. There was still no check to see if this person was stressed or mentally unstable, just a steady push towards escalation. However, it wouldn't be long before the officer moved from questioning to outright threats. >> You need to come out. You've been in for over an hour. You need to come out now before I go in there and I pull you out. >> You heard what I said. You've been in there for over an hour. You need to leave now. >> It is crazy. >> Hurry up. [Music] Let's go. >> Yes, I'm still here. I'm I'm here until you get out. >> Let's go. >> After leaving the restroom, the officer led him towards the patrol car to verify his identity. The lack of understanding about voluntary cooperation was clear. The man refused to lean on the bumper and the officer saw that as defiance. He still hadn't explained why he was treating this man like a criminal and no trespassing wasn't a good enough reason. Why did you just lock that door? >> You locked it. I saw you. Wash your hands. Many of you might say the officer asked Peter if he was okay and if everything was fine, but that's just a mask. We would all soon see his true colors, which he had already started to reveal. I hate officers who act from the very start that a person is a criminal until proven otherwise. And trust me, what comes next will leave no doubt about the kind of attitude this officer really has. [Music] You're going to go over by my vehicle. You're going to stay over by my vehicle while I verify your identity. >> Right over here, >> lean up against my bumper. >> From this moment, a passive aggressive power game begins. The officer kept insisting the man lean up against the bumper while he repeated he wasn't a child and had done nothing wrong. Instead of listening, the officer threatened to call for backup. It seemed he cared more about proving who was in charge than resolving the situation peacefully. But the real clash of egos was only just beginning. >> I'm not going. I'm not going with you. >> I said lean up against my girlfriend. >> I'm too young. >> What? >> I'm too young. I'm not going with you, dude. >> What do you mean you're not going with me? >> No, I'm just I can't >> I told you that you're going to lean up here while I verify your ID? >> I'm not going. >> Did you hear what I said? >> Yeah, I heard you. I heard you. >> I'm not doing that. I don't >> lean up against the I'm not a kid. I'm not doing nothing wrong. I'm just not I'm not going to help you. >> Turn around. You can't You can't hurt me. I just came out the door. >> Turn around. >> You can't hurt me, dog. No, I'm not. >> Turn around. >> Hey, >> you're going to make You're going to make me call You're going to make me call for somebody else to go. >> Hey, >> I'm not. >> Then just listen to what I'm saying. I'm not saying put your hands on the hood. I'm telling you to lean up against my vehicle. So, turn around. >> I don't have to do that. >> Turn around. I'm verifying your ID because you're being trespassed. I want everybody else trespassing. The man refused to place his hands on the vehicle and the officer was quickly losing patience. He shifted to the rhetoric of if you don't comply, you're going to jail. Instead of clearly explaining the procedure and the man's rights, he only fueled the tension. And let's be honest, he was giving orders mainly so he could accuse a Peter of resisting. Peter, look at me. If you're trying to lie, you're going to go to jail. If you're lying to me, you're going to jail. >> Well, it seems like you're lying. You You're trying to tell me you don't know your birthday. You give me a a fake f uh last name the first time. What is your date of birth? >> Why are you lying? I don't >> What is your date of birth? >> I can't say that. I don't remember. >> What is your date of birth? >> I don't have a >> Okay. So, what I want you to do is you're going to turn around and put your hands behind your back. >> I'm going to handcuff you until I verify your identity. >> Okay. I'll tell you right now paper. >> Turn around. >> I'm not going with you. Well, I'm not >> You're not going anywhere. So, right now, I'm telling you to turn around. >> I'm not a kid. I'm not going to listen to that. >> Okay, that's fine. Then you're going to get charged with a 148. >> The officer decided that he had investigated enough to arrest Peter. In his mind, he had plenty of excuses to escalate. Even though it was obvious Peter was no threat to him or the restaurant manager. Still, the officer needed someone weaker than himself to boost his ego and Peter just happened to be the victim that day. But if you think the arrest was the end of it, you're wrong. >> I'm not doing anything. >> I'm not I'm not I'm not doing this on >> Turn around. I'm not doing this to you. >> Turn around, dog. Turn around. >> I'm not going over. >> Turn around. >> You hear me? >> I'm not doing I'm not going with you. I'm not going to do turn. >> I'm not going. What are you doing? >> Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> I'm not doing nothing wrong. >> What did I just tell you? >> I'm not doing nothing wrong. I'm not a kid, homie. What the acting like one? >> You hear me? >> You hear me? >> Yes. >> The next thing I'm going to do is I'm going to ask for a partner to come over here. We're going to put you in handcuffs and we're going to put you in the backseat of my car. I'm going to take you to jail. If you do not comply, >> I'm going to comply with you. >> Then put your hands behind your back right now until I verify. Until I verify your identity. Once I verify your identity, I will let you go. >> What do you mean my identity? What are you talking about? >> Who you are? >> So, put your hand behind your back. >> No, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. >> Did you hear me? Put your hand behind your back. >> I'm not doing that, dog. >> The officer now openly threatened to call his partner to physically restrain him. The man refused, repeating that he wasn't a child. Instead of taking a professional approach, it sounded like an argument between two stubborn high school kids. If the goal had truly been legitimate verifying identity, it was now completely lost in a personal contest of ego and dominance. >> I'm not going to. Can I get a 11 cent my location? >> I'm not going up the wrong. What the >> Oh, what did I just say? Hurry up. >> What do you want from me? Stupid. >> Let's go. Come on. >> Stop making things so difficult. >> I don't care. I'm not going to listen to you. >> Stop making things so difficult. >> I don't want to listen to you, dog. >> Hey, stop making things so difficult. >> You hear me? >> I'm not listening to you. >> Stop making things so difficult. >> What do you mean? >> You hear me? >> You hear me? >> Stop. >> I'm not I'm not going to fight you, dog. >> Then stop. >> Then stop. Then stop. >> Stop. >> Stop [ __ ] with me, bro. >> Stop. >> I don't have to. I'm not doing nothing wrong. >> Put your hand behind your back. >> [ __ ] [ __ ] >> For over an hour. They asked you to leave multiple times. I told you to leave. You were making an excuse. And now you're being trespassed. >> I don't even know what to talk about. >> Stop. All you have to do is just comply and then you'd be let go after I trespassed you. >> The officer explained that he would let him go if he could verify his identity, but it sounded more like an excuse than a real plan. The man said he wanted to go home. The officer threatened he wouldn't leave unless he obeyed. By this point, it was clear the officer wasn't there to solve any problems anymore. He was forcing a complete submission. And believe me, he was about to show just how far he was willing to go. But you're not listening. >> Okay. I'm leaving. I'm leaving right now. >> You're not leaving right now. I have to verify who you are so I could trespass you. Who the [ __ ] do you think I am? I'm not listening. I want to go home. >> I just want to go home. Babe, >> you're not going to go home. If you don't listen. If you listen, you're going home. If you don't listen, you're not going home. >> Listen. >> You're not listening. >> I'm telling you to put your hands behind your back and you're not listening. Anybody keep Let me go leave the [ __ ] down. Hurry on, man. And I won't come back. I'll go home. I'm not even I'm not looking for anything. >> Trying to ID this guy for a trespass. He was in there for over an hour refusing to leave even when I was here and now he's not complying. >> The radio chatter revealed that the officer only wanted to identify him for a trespass notice. In practice, that meant he was creating hours of conflict over administrative penalty. Instead of asking himself if all this tension was worth it for someone staying too long in a restroom, he treated it like a major criminal case. But this was nothing compared to what was coming. I'm not doing that. I'm not going to hurt my heart. My mom's right there. My mom. >> I don't want to hurt you. Huh? I'm not even going to do anything to you. I want to do what I had to do. I'm not doing >> trying to verify your identity. I've already told you this multiple times because you're trying to give me a fake name. >> I'm not trying to give >> and you're telling me that you don't want to go to jail. But you're going to go to jail because of the way you're acting. >> No, I'm not doing nothing. >> Let's be real. The officer only got this angry because Peter told him a few times that he didn't want to listen. And honestly, he was right. He didn't have to listen. But the officer couldn't stand the idea that someone might think he had no authority. So, he felt the need to teach him a lesson, even if it meant making up charges just to boost his own confidence. >> Then, put your hand behind your back and then you'll be relieved once I trespass you and verify your identity. >> What are you talking about? >> I've already told you multiple times. >> Is there anything I can do to you? We're going to make the See how you're resisting me? I haven't had a gun with a weapon. I don't know what you had. >> I I'm not here to talk my resistance. Put your hand on your back so I can do that. This This is how we do things. No, I'm good. I'm >> Are you going to comply or you're not going to comply? >> Sorry. My arm. >> Well, are you going to comply or not? >> What do you mean? What do you mean? >> I'm about to throw you on the ground. >> What am I doing wrong? Put your hand behind your back. I got my arm. Put your hand behind your back. Okay. Put your [ __ ] hand behind your back. All right. Bro, I'll tell you. >> I'm not doing nothing to you, bro. >> What's he reaching for? >> Can you believe even more officers showed up, all acting like Peter was a criminal, even without knowing why he had stayed in the restroom for an hour? Of course, the first officer thought he had an alibi for his actions, but repeating lies just so they could be recorded on the body camera didn't magically turn them to truth. going on your identity. I've already told you who you're trying to get. >> I'm not trying to get >> You're telling me that you don't want to go to jail, but you're going to go to jail because of the way you're acting. >> No, I'm not doing your hand. Put your hands on your back and then you'll be released once I trespass you and verify your identity. >> What are you talking about? Are you going to comply or not? >> Is there anything I can say or do to get you to comply right now, sir? >> What do you mean comply? What does comply mean? >> See how you're resisting me? I haven't patted you down for weapons. I don't know what you have. >> I have nothing to do. Look in my pocket and see what the [ __ ] Then put your hand on your back so I can do that. This This is how we do things. >> No, no, no, no. I'm good. I'm not doing >> Are you going to comply or you're not going to comply? >> Okay. Wait. Okay. I'm sorry. My arm comp. >> Well, are you going to comply or not? >> Huh? What do you mean comply? >> What does that even mean? >> I'm about to throw you on the ground. >> Okay. What am I doing wrong? >> Put your hand behind your back. >> You got to let go of my arm. put your hand behind your back. >> At one point, the officer became so rough with Peter that he tried to move away. Of course, they saw this as the ultimate blow to their egos, and they both decided to break the law by harassing Peter in the way they wouldn't be allowed to use, even on a criminal, let alone someone with memory difficulties. But this was the moment things would spiral completely out of control. [Music] hurt. What hurts? >> What hurt? What hurts? My arms. Good. What else? Anything hard? Get that. We need you to sit up real quick. We got pars on you. [Music] Can >> I have a little water? >> Yeah. We're going to get you some water. All right. >> All right. Yeah. What's your last name? >> I got his uh >> I don't got his date of birth. >> Drive through the bank so nobody saw what happened here. >> They did a statement. >> While holding him, they asked what was hurting and he mentioned his arms. Instead of wondering why, maybe from the handcuffs or excessive force, their tone stayed routine and cold. They promised him water, which sounded like a late attempt to soften the image of their mistreatment. However, no matter what they did afterward, nothing could erase what they had already done. All right. >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> Anybody see? >> I I don't know. We have uh we have one guy walk up on us. I don't know where he went. And then couple guys driving through the drivethru. Uh, they got a camera right there, but I don't think he's pointing towards us. >> I I don't even know. He just We just come by, dude. I don't I don't know. Is there a warrant or something? They talked among themselves about bystanders and cameras as if their biggest concern was whether they were being recorded. There was no mention of caring about his condition, only about logistics and who might be watching. Ironically, they seemed more interested in the angle of a surveillance camera than the fact that a man was lying there hurt. Once again, it only proved they hadn't handled things properly. You going to be cool, dude? >> Yeah. All right. No problems. All right, man. >> Like I said from the very beginning. there. Like his nose to his forehead and his nose. I think it's too Yeah, >> one officer asked if he was going to be cool and claimed he had wanted things to be smooth from the start, which completely contradicted his earlier threats and use of force. They listed the injuries: forehead, nose, knees, but described them as if they were almost trivial. That was to be expected given they had just realized how far they had gone without any real reason. >> Yes, we're going to swap you with Bobby. Got to do the report anyway. Uh not any chest pain right now. Just overall pain. My heart rate was 140 as opposed to 100. Blood sugar was 213. He's denying any drugs or alcohol, but he's actually erratic. Just look is gaining a panic. So, no. Uh yeah, I was just blood pressure. I was going into that other look. Let's get going. Working on some ideas right now, guys. Blood pressure. unknown medical history. Um, >> they had hurt poor Peter so badly that they had to place him in an ambulance. Can you believe it? And even more interesting at that moment, neither officer's camera was working. Now, it made sense why they were so concerned about the angle of the security cameras. However, keep watching to see how they later tried to downplay and soften what had really happened. ET is going to be what's EJ like 10:12 like >> uh 8 minutes [Music] and then we're going to work on some IV access and we'll see you when we get in. Have you copied the other? >> Yes, I did. Yeah, 10 minutes officer. Uh, updated DP 46 over 82. >> Respiratory rate is going to be elevated at about 26. >> Thank you. The medics checked his blood sugar and blood pressure, noting he had no known medical history, but was visibly panicked and erratic. Instead of the police considering that this might be a medical crisis rather than a crime, everything still went through a filter of suspicion. Of course, it's clear they were just hoping to find something they could use to justify themselves. I start a little bit too. arm. >> Hey, I'm going to try IV. Okay. Do you have any chest pain right now? What else hurts? Your back. What do you do? Do you smoke me or do you do Coke or what? I don't know. You don't know? Radio chatter covered the arrival of the medical team and his vital signs. His breathing was elevated, his blood pressure recorded. Yet, the police still had no clear picture of his background. Instead of quickly coordinating for urgent transport, everything moved at a slow bureaucratic pace, as if time didn't matter. And yet, something felt different this time. >> Keep your arm like this. Heat. Heat. Amazing. Good morning. These dumb cops realized their crimes had been recorded even though they had turned off their body cameras, which explained why they seemed so lost now. Still, while they were busy trying to get themselves out of the mess they had created, Peter's condition was getting worse. And the paramedics finally began to understand the seriousness of the situation. >> Good morning. This is Peter Groom. Here's a policey old male. Uh chief comp. Uh he was detained by two police officers today. He got trespassed to McDonald's. He's combative and agitated. Tried to run from them. Uh they did have to restrain him physically. Did uh do some close fist blows to the head along with some elbows. He has some confusions to the forehead and to the nose and swelling to the eyebrows and the nose. uh for the knee and lower extremities. Besides that, no other signs of pain. Uh stack in the 140s 100 low in the 90s. Uh 12 all of them are semi. It looks inferior to me and V2. Uh I did give him 3.1 for alcohol, but his two are not reactive. He's 802 alerts and location. >> In the end, Peter was taken to the hospital be treated for his condition after being beaten by the police for let me remind you absolutely no reason. Speaking of times when dumb cops realized their crimes were recorded, let's talk about Officer Dantavian Jones, a cop with a history of disciplinary violations. Despite his past problems, he kept being returned to duty. However, no incident hurt his image quite as much as the moment he committed a serious offense during a traffic stop. >> Hey, Deputy Parker, Rich County Sheriff's Office. We got you stopped here. Um, good notice you looking down when you're driving. What's going on? >> These lights. Look, I couldn't get them off from my grandbaby. >> Okay. While you're driving, you can't be, you know, having that in your hand. >> I I got them. I'm turning them off right now. >> 4313 cross street. >> I don't know. >> Ranch Drive. It's going to be in the Wendy's parking lot. >> You got your driver license on you, ma'am? >> No, sir. Look, I have drivers. >> What' you do with all that money? Oh, that's why I was trying to get my money out cuz I got to go buy diapers and I'm not >> Where are you? Are you okay, ma'am? >> No, I'm really I'm not supposed to be driving and I go to jail. I can't. My dad's 79 years old and he's by his side. >> Where are you coming from? How about that? >> My house right here. Can I call? >> Where's your house? >> Jones arrived at the scene without any body camera or dash cam, violating the rules that require all police actions to be documented. His colleague Parker was standing next to the vehicle. But then Parker left, leaving Jones alone with the female driver. And then came the moment that would shock everyone. A move so bold and reckless that no one could believe he thought he'd get away with it. >> Right now, Bobby. >> So why you drive? So you're not supposed to be driving? Who told you that? >> I know I'm not driving, but look. >> Do you have any form of identification? Let me see your identification. Ma'am, >> can you please just let me call? >> Ma'am, give me your identification, please. >> What do you have in there, ma'am? >> Nothing. Just money. Look, I had >> Cuz you're fiddling around too much. >> I'm just cuz you know I got >> You're making me nervous, ma'am. >> Cuz I if I get driving expens, they're going to put me in prison. >> What are you doing with all that money? >> I have $80 cuz I got paid now. [ __ ] I have 80. Oh, they're going to put me in prison. Please don't arrest me today. Please, please, please. Let me see this. >> I just went to probation today for >> probation for what? >> For driving suspension. Oh, Lord. >> So, you have a felony driving suspended. >> I just want to get >> When was that? >> That's why I got my baby's toys. Oh, Lord. >> All right. Do me a favor. Just stand by. >> Oh, no. Please don't. >> Stand by. Do not move. All right. >> I'm not moving. Chia forte. Okay. The driver admitted she didn't have a license and was on probation for driving with a suspended license. The officer focused on all the cash she had, asking suggestive questions like, "What are you doing with all that money?" Even though carrying cash isn't a crime. And to top it off, the woman only had $80 on her. Was that really such a shocking amount? Still, all of this was leading toward an even worse moment. All right, let's see what we got here. [Music] >> What's good? No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh she acting all fidgety and she got like a bunch of um uh suspended driver license. So if she if she on her fourth or more than four, it's going to be a felony. So that's why I'm checking that right there. >> I appreciate your suspended. >> Yeah. >> All right. You want to go hook up? >> Um Yeah. Yeah. Might as well. Yeah. >> Yeah. Let me hold. >> Yeah, if you can. Yeah. She acting real fidgety in there, too. This is Deputy Parker. >> Parker ran a radio check on the driver while Jones was already describing her behavior as fidgety to create a basis of suspicion. However, being nervous during a traffic stop is completely normal and legally does not justify a search. Search laws require clear, articulated reasons, and here there were none. But Jones wasn't about to let the law get in his way >> for um a a a driver's history for all convictions for uh suspended driver license. Ma'am, don't reach in the in in the car. >> I don't have nothing. I promise. >> Oh, I got somebody here with me. >> I'm not 049. 379. >> Last name is Jones. Uh, first name Susan. So, if she has more than four in the last three years, then it's going to be a felony as long as you just give me a ticket expired or something. Well, in the state of in the state of Georgia, if you get more than four or four or more convictions, which you do, and you you've had a felony for suspended driver license, correct? That's what you're on probation for. Okay. So, if you get caught driving again, then it's going to be another felony >> and it's going to be prison, right? >> It's going to be another fel felony. >> I don't have anything. I ain't got no DUI, no drugs, no nothing. The officer took items from her pockets and said he was returning them to the car, but he kept control of her cash. This was a textbook example of improper handling of property and potential evidence. Under proper procedure, everything must be documented to prevent abuses like the one Jones would later be caught committing. And sure enough, the truth about what he did with that money was about to come to light. >> So, I got to make sure she got this. I made a beautiful. >> Let me get my uh >> What is all that stuff there? This the stuff that came out of my going right back in the car. >> All the profit that I just took out your pockets. I'm going put it back in the vehicle. Okay. >> Can I get my money out my vehicle and put it in my >> Go ahead. Get in the car, ma'am. >> I'm going to give it to this. Okay. >> Wait, hold on. Um, let me get that scarf so she don't try to hang in there. Let me get this scarf. Okay. >> Really? You can't hang myself. >> Oh, I don't know that ma'am. Right back in that car. >> I'mma grab a money that she'll have money at jail. >> And at that point in the search, Parker once again left Jones alone to search the woman. First, this was wrong because women are supposed to be searched by female officers, not by men. It was clear she had worked hard for that money and cared about keeping it safe. And it's insane to think about what the officer was about to do with it, especially since he was supposed to return it to her car. [Music] Yeah, you have 432. Show me 43. >> She is state. >> She was fiddling around with something. So, I'm going to try to find I know I know she got some something in there, too. on request. >> I don't need the inventory on request. Yeah, this is all. >> No, that's all right. I'mma just leave it alone. Anything I was seeing plain view, but it's nothing in >> No, it's all right. >> Mhm. Jones was such a good cop that he thought about keeping her money so she could have it in jail. Just kidding. He was really coming up with an excuse to take it in a way that wouldn't look like theft on his partner's camera, even though it was obvious to everyone what he planned to do with it. Yeah. You know about these uh suspended drive license felonies, right? >> Yeah. >> Any uh any any conviction any conviction after the fourth is a habitual viol is a habitual violator which is a felony. So I mean you get your fifth shoplifting in a certain amount of time is going to be a habitual violator. >> Yeah. She's getting miserable for uh two weeks. >> Mhm. So, um that being said, >> I think she already has a felony suspended driver license already. Um cuz she stated Yeah. She said she's on she's on probation for that. So, if she get caught again, it's going to be another felony. >> Yeah. She's going to get she's going to get another one. They going to Yeah. revoke her license. >> Probation violation. Her license. might uh have to some time. >> Mhm. >> But you got 100 back. >> All right. I don't have any drugs or anything like that. >> Who said that? >> She kept trying to explain that the swerving was because of her necklace, not drugs or alcohol. The officer ignored her and repeated the accusations. Legally, this was a perfect example of how the initial reason for the stop can be used as a gateway for a fishing expedition, searching for anything that might lead to an arrest or seizure. >> Who said that? >> Huh? >> I told you. >> Oh, >> first of all, when I stopped you, I saw your um >> That's cuz stupid lights. You I told you. What lights? >> Them stupid lights on that that necklace. >> That's called distracted driving. Okay. >> Then you were failing to maintain your lane. That's why >> I was trying to turn off the necklace thing. >> Caught caught. That's what caught my attention to you. >> Yes, sir. Look, I was trying to turn the lights on them necklaces. I wasn't doing that. >> Yeah, but you were swerving all over the all over the place. >> But that wasn't because I was drunk or nothing like that. >> Oh lord. The driver denied being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but the officer insisted the reason for the stop was distraction and swerving. Yes, that's a violation, but a minor one with no basis for seizing cash or launching a criminal investigation. Still, it was clear he had to justify his actions, unaware there was nothing he could say to make it right. And speaking of cops who think they could do whatever they want, let's take a look at why one officer arrested a cyclist. What happened here was that the cyclist had headphones in and was riding fast. So, yes, he was in the wrong. But the officer's reaction to this was, to say the least, way over the top. Still, his ego would make him one of those dumb cops who would only later realized that his crimes were being recorded, and by then it would be far too late to undo the damage. [Music] >> Why are you riding with those things on your head? >> Sorry. Not allowed to ride with those things on your head. >> Not a lot. >> Yes. Can't ride. >> You want me to give you a ticket to show you? >> Don't give me an attitude because I'll make it very difficult for you. >> Take your hands out of your pockets. Why are you all over the street? Am I being >> Yes, now you are. Can >> I see some ID, please? >> Under. >> Put the bicycle down. >> What? What did I What crime did I commit? >> I will explain it to you. Won't you give me your identification, please? >> What crime did I commit? >> Put the bicycle down and then stand over. >> You have reasonable and articulable suspicion. >> While riding, the cyclist saw a car run a stop sign, so he shouted to warn the driver only to realize it was a police officer. It was immediately clear that things were going downhill as the officer was likely reacting out of a bruised ego rather than just enforcing the law. And that kind of personal motivation often leads straight to abuse of power. >> Probable cause. >> No probable cause. >> Reasonable suspicion. >> Stand over the bicycle. >> What do you mean stand over it? >> Stand over it the way you were. >> Why? >> Because I'm asking you to do so. >> What is your reasonable suspicion, sir? >> Don't pick the bicycle up. >> You just said stand. >> Can I see your driver's license again? >> Confused. Are you filming? >> Registration. >> What is your reasonable suspicion? Can I have your sergeant? >> I am the sergeant. >> What is your reasonable article suspicion? I'm going to ask for your driver's license one more time >> and then what? >> And then we'll discuss it cuz I wonder who you are, >> sir. No. Under what law did I break? >> Cuz I had headphones on while I was riding a bike. That's a law. >> Can you cite the the >> I will once you give me your ID. >> No, sir. >> Okay. >> I'm not going to give you ID if you don't tell me what law I broke. >> Are you recording on your camera? >> Yeah. >> Don't take the camera. >> I'm going to ask for your ID one more time. >> No, sir. >> No. >> Under what law? >> Grab a seat on the ground, please. Under what law? >> Is that a lawful order? >> Yes. >> Under the intention of arrest, >> sir. Under Is that a lawful order? >> 423. Copy 1050 on a bicycle. >> It's going to be Cleveland and Betty. It's going to be white male, brown shorts, gray shirt, red hat, black bike. >> The command game began. Put the bike down. Stand over it. Don't lift it. These contradictory instructions created confusion and gave the officer room to later claim the person was resisting. But hold on, this case was far from over because the officer was about to start giving orders that had absolutely no connection to reality, pushing the situation to an even more absurd territory. >> Now, civil violation. >> Why am I being detained right now? >> Right now, it's going to be obstruction. >> Obstruction for what? >> Because I've asked for your identification. >> Are you filming? Can you turn your body camera on, please? >> 100%. I don't see a light or anything on there, sir. >> It's recording you. So is that. >> Can we have another officer here? >> We're coming with another one. >> Sir, we can have >> I don't feel safe right now, man. I didn't commit a crime. You're detaining me for no reason. You almost pulled out in front of me over there and I said something. So now you're abusing your authority. >> No, I'm not really doing that at all. I've asked for a driver's license >> and I said no. Under what? Under what what crime did I commit? I've explained to you. You're wearing headphones on your bicycle. >> Okay. Then then that's enough. >> You said it was a citation and not a crime. >> It's not a crime. >> Is it? Oh, then then you have no lawful reason to to ask me for my >> civil violation. >> No, sir. >> I'm going to ask you to sit down one more time. >> No, sir. Is that a law? Are you under Is that under the threat of arrest? >> It could be because my next You do not give me your identification identify yourself at this time, sir. I will arrest you for obstruction. So, I'm asking you now to sit down, please, cuz you're making me nervous. >> The cyclist asked for a reasonable explanation for the stop and wanted to know the specific law he had supposedly broken. The officer, now confirming it was about the headphones, refused to cite the law until he got personal information. This violated the principle of transparency. A citizen has the right to know why they're being stopped before handing over their documents. Nothing this guy has done besides ask the police officer questions uh warrants, you know, the police officer being nervous. But keep in mind, look at his hands. All right. Before they were on his waist, and now they're up. All right. And there's nothing besides a vape in his hands. But let's keep watching. >> I'm asking you to sit down. >> Is that a lawful order? >> Yes. under the threat of arrest. >> Yes. >> I want to let you know I do have a weapon on me. >> That's what I figured. >> Yeah. I'm a concealed weapons license holder. >> That woman you going to tell me that you had a firearm on you? >> Under the threat of a >> Well, it look could be happening right now. >> I didn't commit a crime >> because I've asked you for your ID now seven times. >> I didn't commit a crime, sir. >> You're riding your bicycle with those headphones on. >> Let's be real. The man had committed a tiny insignificant traffic violation. At worst, the officer should have written him a ticket. That's not a criminal offense, and the officer had no right to demand his documents or arrest him. But of course, that didn't stop him one bit. In fact, it only seemed to fuel his determination to turn a minor issue into a full-blown confrontation. >> I wasn't reaching for anything. >> You kept putting your hands in your pockets. >> It's loaded. There's one in the chamber. >> There's one in the chamber. It's loaded. Okay. >> Anything else? Uh, I have I also have a medical marijuana license and I have medication. >> He hasn't identified himself, so I'm going to charge him with obstruction. >> Obstruction for what crime? >> For not identifying yourself upon request. >> This is This is against my constitutional rights. No, it's not. >> This is against my fourth amendment right. It absolutely is. >> Absolutely not. >> What crime did I commit? >> I already explained to you you were riding your bicycle with those headphones on. >> Headphones on. Is that a misdemeanor or a felony? It's a traffic citation. >> Stand up. >> I have the right to detain you. >> What's going to happen to my bike? >> It's going to get impounded. >> Okay. >> Firearms going to get taken. >> Okay. >> Are you using any kind of medical marijuana today or? >> No, sir. >> No. But you have medical marijuana card? >> Yes, sir. >> Are your eyes normally pin drops? >> What do you mean? >> Are they normally really tiny? >> Do you use any other kind of medication? my right to remain silent. >> I'm sorry. I'm going to exercise my right to remain silent. >> What I'm going to do is I'm going to bring another officer over here, too, to come talk to you. >> 581. >> My wallet is in my bottom. >> You know what's worst of all? The officer called for backup to help arrest a man who had done nothing. I don't know if it was just a way to share something illegal with his colleague so he wouldn't be the only bad guy or if they simply felt stronger in a group. Whatever the reason, they were doing something wrong and clearly had no plans to stop. >> Right hand 15. Go to 14. [Music] >> I'm good. Thank you. I'm sorry. >> So, where's your identification, sir? Cuz it would have been real easy just to give me the ID. Um, >> I can take you under that domestic just >> Thank you. Are >> you guys body cams on? >> Yes, sir. >> Thank you. >> Trevor, >> how hard would that been? >> Trevor. [Music] All right, sir. See, so you just believe what I'm telling you so it's you don't think I am lying to you. It says right here, "Wearing headset, headphones, or another device when driving a bicycle. It's against the law." >> Is it a misdemeanor? >> No, it's a simple traffic citation. Okay. So, that >> and all you would have had to do is you would have been I would have probably given you a warning. >> Ironically, the officer came over to give some papers to the man who was now already under arrest and sitting in the back of a patrol car. He wanted to prove he was right about the traffic rule the man had broken. And yes, the officer was correct about that violation. But that didn't mean he had any right to arrest the man without a valid reason. The fact he still couldn't see the difference was exactly what made this abuse of power so blatant. and none of this would have happened. But you decided to be obstinate and wouldn't give me any information. Just >> exercise my rights. >> What right do you have? I You have the right to be identified. >> But I I >> And then you're carrying a firearm. You're sticking your hands in your pockets. I told you you were making me nervous. >> License, man. >> Whether you are or not, you're still a responsible gun holder. >> You're supposed to be responsible. What are the things they do tell you? >> I'm being responsible. I'm also a responsible American by exercising my rights. Sir, I'm going to I'm going to stop talking. Well, I'm not going to argue about Constitution. We I'll go to town with you on that. >> Arguing. >> I'll go I'll go with you on the Constitution. I know it very very well. >> You're playing with the wrong officer as far as that goes. >> Now, you're going to be charged today with the minimum obstruction, resisting without violence. I asked you for your identification multiple multiple times. You refuse to comply with my lawful order. You're going to be issued that citation and I have an officer coming over here to examine you for driving under the influence because I I suspect it might be some impairment in you as well. So, I'm going to have you talk to that officer and I'm going to remove myself from that part of the investigation. Here he is. This is officer Yace. >> In Florida, a driver or cyclist must hand over ID during a lawful stop. This officer's stomp was based on unjustified, manipulative behavior and a madeup story about danger. On top of that, the officer himself had broken the law by running a stop sign, which completely destroyed his credibility. So, is this a genuine mistake or not? If you think this was bad, wait until you see what's coming up next. Some officers take things to a whole new level, and not in a good way. Don't miss the next video because it shows just how much worse it can really get.
