person wait until you watch this next case all right Officer Jessel so we're going to go around to the other side this gentleman agreed he's going to step out of his vehicle um he's refusing to identify himself he said he's not going to identify himself said and that be best for us wanted to just make sure she was here alone so make sure that I do have an open container there so and he says he's not trespassing so we'll go around and okay so set the car off thank you this is Officer tooya from the grand junk Police Department on September 5th 2023 an officer approached a man sitting inside a parked vehicle at a construction site after hours requesting identification to verify if he had permission to be there the man hesitates insisting that he has the keys to the store and is working on construction the officer sites previous burglary incidents in the area expresses suspicion and explains that being on private property without verification could be considered trespassing as the conversation continues the officer notices an open container inside the vehicle adding another reason for further escalation how's it going I'm building this store right here watch okay yeah you got stuff in there then oh yeah okay um I just lo you okay do you have your driver's license with you uh what do I need that for so um I want to verify that you are supposed to be here um what kind of store are you guys working on uh we're building a okay so H do you have any paperwork or anything I know you might have a key you said you could lock it up or open it up and stuff like that just locked it up I just got I just got but do you have like a contact number that I can verify like who you're leasing the property from or anything like that okay um but what would be a good phone number so we could contact them during daytime hour you got your body camera absolutely okay awesome yeah you'll um this this isn't the first time I've been accosted and luckily it's not Germany while I've been at a store it's not the first time it happens all the time and I guess I'm still having trouble understanding what you mean by a costed no what you mean by it' be best oh what I mean is it it just I mean like you'll be you'll be on YouTube and it's not a big deal but it is a big deal because everything you do is being recorded absolutely right and so if I haven't committed the CRI a crime which I haven't it's going to be best for you your department everything as far as looks if you just did the right thing did you job would you mind uh while I'm here just keeping your hands where I can see them yeah of course thank you sir that's why I ask you if you want me to step out and like I said we'll wait for my partner to get here and we'll go through all that the situation intensified as the man remained uncooperative challenging the officer's Authority and questioning their understanding of the law he Demands a supervisor who is promptly called to the scene all right Officer Jessel so we're going to go around to the other side this gentleman agreed he's going to step out of his vehicle um he's refusing to identify himself he said he's not going to identify himself and that us she wanted to just make sure she was here alone so make sure that I do have an open container there so and he says he's not trespassing so we'll go around and okay okay so do fa set the car off thank you Oklahoma you want to detain him yeah Char Paul Mary 496 I'm going put my well just if you don't mind opening the door so I can at least see what's going on down there does that make sense sure yeah I see the wrench and stuff so yeah all my all my tools are right inside that building too okay oh you got a little partner there hey bu she goes everywhere I go oh young lady it's okay baby she's a sweetheart too so and like I explained to her I have no ill will no no weapons in the car so okay is there a reason you don't want to identify yourself I'm a constitutional upate first and foremost second I just buil stores and I'm building I've been down here 7 weeks building that one so I'm just watching I'm just the Dollar Tree and Family Dollar I'm just um uh uh making sure there's been some suspicious weird activity and there's been other officers around here she's not going to come out is she oh she might I don't know okay all right so sir I am going to detain you okay I you need to identify yourself you're refusing to identify yourself what have I committed a crime I know I've asked the crime y you're trespassing and you do have an open container in vehicle property right yes so I do need you to go ahead and turn around and trans it in back me please 35 and I don't obviously cons any do you have a wallet or anything on you I do not okay and I know you said you've been previously contacted by law enforcement have you been contacted by law enforcement here at this address before well yeah they stopped by who's day they come through you can relax what's up the police they've come by several times Grand Junction police or Grand Junction okay around how long ago was that uh uh I don't know since I've been down here four or five 6 weeks like was it a week ago 2 weeks ago or remember um I know you said that I when I asked you if I was committ in of crime I know that you said um yes I'm trespassing that's not how trespassing works and and I know the owner really well of every one of these shops because I've been here so long but also this property and in order to be trespassed and I hate that I have to tell you your job that I actually have to be trespassed so if the owner trespasses me which he's not going to but say he did then I'd have to have the opportunity to leave and you know this so when's the last time you were contacted by law enforcement was my question to you right and I ask you the same question there's no way that I should be in handcuffs right now and be tank first of all I have not committed a crime so you can't tell me when you were contacted by law enforcement I don't know they did not contact did they just came through and seen how I was doing when I was working well that's completely different right yeah okay was that daytime or night night and daytime both but I'm not answering any more questions and I'm not talking to you okay upon arrival the supervisor explains the charges but the man adamantly insists he is not trespassing and refuses to provide his ID arguing that it is unconstitutional to demand identification without a committed crime the supervisor attempts to clarify the legal grounds for detainment but the man remains defiant refusing to comply with ID requests and fingerprinting as officers continued their investigation they cited a local ordinance against camping on city property with these violations they officially place the man under arrest at which point he finally provides his ID if you think these were the maximum cops can try messing with the wrong person then you probably haven't heard of this next case what is your [ __ ] problem telling you you are interfering [ __ ] I'm on a public road man you don't move away from the roadway and you don't move away from my traffic stop you were going to jail do you understand that officer Baker 541 16942 off my traffic stop do you want dude this road is enclosed man stay away from the road and stay away from my traffic stop this is Officer Holiday from the Huntsville Police Department in April 2024 an officer aggressively confronted a bystander accusing them of interfering with a traffic stop even though the bystander was standing on a public road the bystander pushes back asserting their right to walk freely and challenging the officer's Authority pointing out that the road is not closed

__ ] man stop you're being the confrontation intensifies as the officer asserts that standing near the traffic stop constitutes an arrestable offense the citizen confidently calls the officer a tyrant A fitting description the bystander firmly points out that both vehicles and pedestrians are moving freely in the area without warning the officer detains the bystander accusing them of interfering with the traffic stop if you think this was the worst cops could do then you probably haven't heard about this next case this private property no it isn't just like how someone breaks into houses this is not private property no it is not no it is not okay I've looked it up so you're right and I'm wrong yes cuz I've looked it up have you did you ask Google if this is private property or public

trespassing the individuals argue that the property isn't private citing the absence of no trespassing signs and asserting their legal right to stay meanwhile the officers maintain that they are trespassing and warn that refusal to leave could lead to arrest who says you can't be here you see it's private private property no it isn't yes it is no it isn't it is if it's private property why is

officer issued a trespassing warning and informed them that MTA would take action the following week if they remained one individual firmly argued that the police had no authority to remove them particularly in extreme heat as the officer Departed the individual expressed their Defiance using derogatory language and making it clear they were not intimidated if you think these were the last

multiple trespass warnings against you you obviously aren't liked at a bunch of other businesses you obviously a person that likes to do this to other officers on traffic stops you have a tendency to do this have a nice day yeah the citizen stands his ground asserting his right to observe and record the interaction the officer initially threatens arrest but instead demands the Citizen's ID which he voluntarily provides later another officer points out that the citizen has multiple trespass warnings from businesses suggesting a pattern of frequent confrontations with law enforcement the citizen left the scene after this Skirmish it's surprising to see officers challenging the wrong people if you enjoyed this video don't forget to like And subscribe for more goodbye why
