that uh a fishing pole thing uh my AR pistol and my my handgun all right put your hands up for me bro why are you carry around that because I was just fishing with a gun yes sir I was in Florida we can do this this is sergeant panicha from the pellis county sheriff's office on March 28th 2020 an auditor named Michael Taylor was openly carrying firearms while fishing at madira Beach Florida which is legal under specific State statutes after observing him as such Sergeant panicha decided to confront him when Mr Taylor was returning to his vehicle while carrying a fishing rod yeah I don't know I'm letting you know I'm trying to let you know while you're engaged in fishing hunting and camping you can do this guns on you no sir no more there's no more knives no more guns no more I can't stand

you guys but you guys are treating me like I'm a criminal like I've done I don't even know who you are yet you don't need to know who I am I'm just a law-abiding citizen that's done nothing wrong Mr Taylor was well versed in state laws allowing open carry during activities such as fishing despite Mr Taylor's clear explanations citing Florida statute 790.25 comma which permits open carry when fishing He was ordered to the ground and detained at gunpoint while officers conducted their investigation after Mr Taylor was placed in handcuffs and questioned he contacted his attorney who in turn reached out to the sheriff watch how the encounter ends and uh your name sir s pich and uh your badge or payroll number 6399 thank you very much you know we have payroll numbers you guess you've done

so I can go back the sheriff instructed the deputies to release Mr Taylor ending the approximately 20-minute detainment although the official report filed by Sergeant panicha stated a shorter detention time and missed key details footage from Taylor's camera highlighted inconsistencies the officers unloaded Mr Taylor's firearms and left the scene Mr Taylor returned back to fish again Mr Taylor had some inclination of taking legal action however there is not up update available on this case as of yet if you think this was the only arrogant cop who got humbled by their bosses wait

that he had smoked in the vehicle the previous night but clarified that it was not in the presence of his children the officer also asks the passenger for identification but the passenger refuses asserting that he has not done anything wrong filming the police interaction comes under the First Amendment for those who don't know the First Amendment of the US Constitution grants the rights of

eventually permitted them to leave the scene very little is known about this case hence it is uncertain whether any of the individuals wishes to pursue any legal action against the officers if you think this was the maximum a cop can get humbled by their bosses then you probably aren't aware of this next case seriously I'm sorry sir seriously well you were speeding okay what's that right I'm I'm trying to do my job this is Officer Mark Sun from the Boon Beach Police Department Officer son stopped major Michael Johnson for driving 97 mph in a 65 mph Zone while off duty Mr Johnson was using an marked police car and activated its emergency lights during the stop watch how the traffic stop is about to take a filthy turn good for that's Tag 2 to it don't worry about it don't worry about it seriously go ahead I going to write your ticket I out have the descrip but you know you were speeding so okay all right drive safe government vehicles are required to adhere to traffic laws unless legally Exempted such as during emergency responses since Mr Johnson was neither on duty nor responding to an emergency his speeding was unauthorized under Florida law when Mr Johnson questioned the basis of the stop officer son explained that he had used Pace clocking a method courts recognize as a valid way to estimate speed the incident isn't done here watch what Mr Johnson is about to do next seriously talk to me like that you just failed to signal your lane change and you also failed to make your left turn my left turn when you made your left turn off I95 on the overpass you didn't have your signal on Are you seriously serious about this first of all I didn't know you who you were I got that what was I was at 97 mph behind you 97 what was my speed Mark 97 what was my speed 97 not a chance okay chance I've never hit a 100 in this car in my life okay but you also agreed you were speeding right your body c on it is on please make sure it is on it is on it was on before I agreed that I was speeding you want to write me a ticket you you really talk to me like that sir you stuck your hands out the window going seriously no I put my hands out the window so you didn't do something silly no sir okay Mark listen when have I done something s silly I didn't say you are doing something silly I said so you don't do something silly what would I do that s silly well apparently okay Mark it's fine it's not a big deal listen all I'm saying is the traffic laws apply to me just like they do to you and I admitted I'm speeding and I'm doing it on your body camera but I was not going 97 mph I was behind you at 97 miles an hour very good but I wasn't going 97 okay so how fast were you going then I have no idea okay but I know I wasn't doing 97 CU I've never done 97 in this in my life even while I'm working but this is ridiculous seriously and then you sit there and I'm I'm willing to give you my driver's license I'm allowed to do discretion am I not shortly after being stopped Mr Johnson pulled officer son over for alleged Lane change violations which was perceived as an act of retaliation as Mr Johnson admitted he intended to talk to officer son watch how the encounter ends you remember in 2006 when you stopped me in my Tahoe and you said speeding yes officer Adams and I we stopped you because your vehicle match the description of a 41 vehicle from West Palm Beach I was involved in shooting you shoved your hands out the window and did the same thing and said and said seriously you said seriously I'm like we looked at are like are you kidding we didn't know you were in in cat then we didn't know if this was an undercover operation and then you start arguing with us say you weren't speeding listen I'm not here to give anyone a citation not even my that's not half the time I don't plan on giving citations when I get out of my vehicle so that so that that's not it I give less citations I give more breaks and I do citations okay I'm not here to argue with you but I will I will uh make sure I notify the chief that I was you don't have to notify the chief I'm not going to tell anyone I have no choice but you by policy so I will let him know that I was stopped for speeding by you tonight and that's just the way it is but even so all right we're good I'm good after this incident unfolded an internal investigation was initiated against Mr Johnson regarding his Unbecoming conduct and unsatisfactory performance since he was not cited for speeding the claims were dropped if you think this was the last cop who got humbled by their bosses then you probably aren't aware of this last case got to love it oh they got a taxi on it got to love this oh wow I got some people standing outside here hopefully they're educated hopefully this goes great sir what you doing filming what everything I can see from public everything I can see this is Officer Dunn from the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office in November 2018 a First Amendment auditor named gear visited the Cherokee County sheriff's officer to conduct a First Amendment audit officer Dunn raised concerns about recording and inspecting Vehicles stating that it could be seen as suspicious and potentially linked to security risks watch how hostile the officers become towards Mr gear yall having a good day or not that's all right I heard it's a great area I mean but who knows can I help no sir I'm fine thank you for the offer sir sir sir what's up I mean you just videoing our patrol cars just out here taking pictures and videos who are you I'm major here major here yes what's your name maor you got a bash number I do 102 thank you for the information officer so there's some unmarked cars down this way I'm I'm going try to get y'all a shot of here's one I think that went fairly simple look at that one what's up brother I'm all right how you doing I don't don't carry with me huh don't carry with me don't you don't in case I'm illegally detained y'all find out who I am huh in case y'all legally detain me and find out who I am man I just want to see you cuz I mean you on our property you know look I mean I know but you you looking in Windows of cars yeah cuz I can see them yeah I know you can see them but I mean you don't know if those are person cars or not be personal cars well they I mean but even if they are personal I can still look at them you can't be going looking in the window like that I can it's public yeah there's no so where your idea at I don't have it on me where's your idea at I don't have it on me I know I that's where it was at where I left at I don't really get what you're asking me that for like there's no legal obligation if you asking me where my Ida is right now and you know I'm correct like I don't want to be a dick about it but you know there's no legal obligation for it so I just don't have it on me well we have a legal obligation you're really close to me officer we can we can check your name check your identity make sure that you are who you say you are what's your name I'm chefer sir and your name make sure that you're you're not wanted I'm not wanted do you suspect me of being wanted sir right now we don't know who you are I then it's going to stay that way until you have a legal obligation to find out who I am we got a legal obligation no you don't you just want that's a personal obligation you just want to know who I am person I haven't committed a crime so I don't have to tell you who I am sir you're out here going and looking in vehicles which is a First Amendment protected activity I can film in public all this is public okay so then if you know that why are we having this conversation officer we have a lawful right to inquire when people say there's a suspicious person walking through the parking lot filming we have an obligation at least come and check you out sir and that's simply what the officers are doing uh tell my attorney stay tuned in please so you can film all day sir we're not we're not OB to your filming okay so with that being said with all due respect if you say I can film all day why is it everyone standing out here asking me what I'm doing because when someone comes in the office and says someone's going out there looking in the patrol cars we don't know sir if if if someone's going to break into a patrol car no ill someone's going to steal a patrol car it happens and so we have an awful a lawful obligation to come out and inquire and check and make sure that everything is okay and if everything is okay we go about our business you get to go about yours and everybody has a great day well that's what's about to happen I have no evil intent I'm not telling you'all my name I don't want to break in any car I don't want to get any car I'm not touching a car I'm just taking pictures and videos which is a lawful activity so what's the purpose but it's not affility nor misdemeanor and you know that but it's not right to investigate is law enforcement every right investig crime no we don't if a crime been terroristic threats in our in our country today so now you're saying I'm a terrorist no that's what I'm saying with terroristic threats no I I'm I'm a torist when we tell citizens when we tell citizens when we tell citizens to contact something you see something say something if you see people doing suspicious things reach out to law enforcement and so it's not normal for people to walk through and film uh Mr Dunn asserts his right to film in public and refuses to provide identification arguing that he has committed no crime he clearly stated that filming is a protected activity under the First Amendment and that he has not engaged in any illegal Behavior after Sheriff meller stepped on the scene he raises concerns on the officer's conduct suggesting they were unprofessional and overly aggressive watch how the encounter concludes in this parking lot it's not normal to walk around and film around a nuclear station or or around any High secure area this is a facility here we don't know if you're filming something to plan or prepare a jailbreak for somebody but until we have a I'm doing you have no right that's not that's not true sir is true that's not true if I haven't broken a crime you have no leg right to come me who I make sure that you are not plotting and planning something against this facility this facility which holds a court venue okay and so we have this inside this building there's courtrooms sir which are open to the public which are open to the public but you're not allowed to take a camera into into that area but I'm outside offic so why' you bring up the inside if I'm outside tell you you just reaching the officer I've done nothing wrong and you know that I've done nothing wrong and everyone out here knows I've done nothing wrong you're reaching for something we're not reaching for anything you are reaching but it's not a crime sup but it's not a crime we have not told you have you been told that you committed a crime C your a question the only important question that I want to ask you am I being detained you're not absolutely talk to you later brother than yourid I don't I know who I am thank you though fine sir you have a great day I'm going to you enjoy yourself be safe out there brother be safe thank you yeah we just going to follow each other around brother no so I'm not follow you okay thank I'm in the public way yes you are I ja you was following me no I ain't following you oh okay cuz you was back there until I came over here and then he's following me cuz he's back no one's following you he is it's fine follow you're not I'm walking this way and so are you I'm in a place where I supposed to be where you want to be it's a difference where you want to be it's public you're not supposed to be in public you want to be in public see how you just told on yourself cops make their themselves look like idiots every day for for no reason a law abiding citizen and they make their like complete idiots I'm in public doing what I want to do and they're following me but it's fine cuz I got all day Mr gear walked away from the scene after confirming that he was not detain the officers followed him for a while around the Department's premises but eventually Mr gear left the area and no further incident occurred it's fascinating to see cops getting humbled by their bosses when they try to cross their limits if you enjoyed this video make sure to drop a like And subscribe goodbye
