Dirty cops believe they can get away with anything, but sometimes they meet citizens who know their rights and take such dirty cops to the cleaners. Here are four different cases where corrupt cops get owned. Well, technically there's no obligation to identify himself. I mean, unless you've got reasonable suspicion a crime. Well, the thing is is I have no reason suspicion to believe that he's not committing crime because he has a ladder in the back of the truck and he's in front of houses that aren't occupied right now. Yeah. Um, there's no compelled ID in Oklahoma. I had to think about This is Officer Haynes with the Blanchard Police Department on phone with the assistant district attorney. On March 22nd, 2019, 48-year-old Kenneth Grants, who is an insurance adjuster, was waiting to meet someone for the inspection of a house. This is when Officer Haynes arrives there to investigate the reports of suspicious activity. How's it going, man? Good. Uh, you live over here or what's doing over here? I've had a couple people call in on you. Okay. Am I doing something illegal? Well, no. Just calling on you saying that I don't recognize a truck in the area. My duty to check and see if you live over here. What's going on? Live over here. I'm here for a purpose. Okay, that's it. All right. You working? You see you got a ladder in your back? You working somewhere? Yes, sir. You got a driver's license on you just so I can identify you? Uh, have I done something illegal? Well, I'd like to identify you just know who I'm dealing with. Make sure right not to show that to you. Well, if I make a contact with you for a reasonable suspicion call like I am right now. Being suspicious is a misdemeanor. Okay. Well, sir, here's the deal. I was called on you. Okay. Um, for a spicious vehicle, you said yourself you don't live over here. You have a purpose. What's your purpose? Is the purpose legal or illegal? That's pretty determin. Okay. So, for me to determine that, I need to see your ID. How is my ID going to determine whether I'm Well, it helps let me know who I'm dealing with. Let me know who I'm dealing with. But my name my name doesn't tell you whether I'm Well, it would tell me like if I don't know if you belong over here. You said you don't. So, I don't know if someone over here's got a BP or something against you. If you got your ID or something. Did I say I didn't belong over here? You said you had purpose. I don't live over here. Okay. Okay. I I do belong. Okay. All right. So that that's as far as I'm willing to take that. So you're not you're not willing to give me your ID? I don't have any reason to. Well, what do you have a reason for being over here? Absolutely. Okay. Can I know that reason? No. Okay. It's not none of your business. Well, it is my business if you're planning on breaking into something, which I don't know if you are or not. Make that determination whether you feel I'm going to break into something. Well, that's why I want to identify you to help me figure that determination. Since there is no reasonable suspicion, the officer makes up the traditional accusation of trespassing. Little does he know that the citizen is educated and knows his rights. The encounter gets heated up as the other officer exchanges harsh words. They understand that by not identifying yourself appropriately as requested by the officer is illegal. It's obstruction. It's a secondary charge. Okay. I have to be for you to ID me in the state of Oklahoma. Okay. I happen to be suspected of committing a crime, about to commit the crime. Well, you are committing a crime. You're trespassing. Has anybody told me? Somebody has called in that Shut up. Somebody has You don't tell me to shut up. I'll tell you what I want to tell you. Okay. You're not going to tell me to shut up. I'm 47 48. I don't care how old you are. You're not going to sit there and tell me to shut up. Here's the deal, man. There is no deal. I'm trying to explain to you what gives us the right. You're telling me we don't have the right? I'm explaining to you how we have the right. You don't have a right to ID if I've done nothing wrong. I'm trying to explain to you why we have the right to get your I'm trying to explain to you why I have it. Okay. Will you listen to me? There is a call that somebody placed to our police department of a suspicious vehicle and person inside that vehicle. We therefore have the right to come investigate that. By that being by that being the case, we are here investigating that. And in order as part of that investigation, we can identify you and request your identification. You may ask all you. And you are also required by law required by law upon request. If I show you if I show you the state statute that you're required to do that, will you give me your ID? Absolutely. Show me the statute. Give me one second. The officer calls a friend of his who is an assistant district attorney for legal opinion. But the attorney also endorses Grants's position. But since it is impossible for the officer to apologize and let the citizen go, he says that he would follow Grants out of town until he catches him on a traffic violate. The officer makes it sound like he has some personal beef with this citizen. Hello. Hey, Travis. Hey. What's up, man? Nothing. Sorry to bother you. I got a random question for you, though. I'm dealing with something right now. Um, so I got called out to an address uh out here in Blanchard, Summer Valley Road. um for a suspicious vehicle and gentleman's parked in a black pickup. Um he's from Oklahoma City, but he won't give me his name and tells me he doesn't have to give me a driver's license because he's not done anything wrong. He's driving a vehicle. Well, he's parked right now. Okay. Well, technically there's no obligation for him to identify himself. I mean, unless you've got reasonable suspicion that he's committing a crime. Well, the thing is is I have no reason suspicion to believe that he's not committing crime because he has a ladder in the back of the truck and he's in front of houses that aren't occupied right now. Yeah. Um there's no compelled ID statute in Oklahoma. I have to think about I mean you have anything else you can guess he might be involved in something. Well, just I I'm curious why a man from Oklahoma City is parked on a dead end road in Blanchard. Is he going to drive away? Absolutely. You can He's driving an oper. He's operating a motorcycle, but you don't have a credit violation. Well, I follow him out of town until I get one. Yeah. Despite knowing what he is about to do is totally illegal. The officer goes on to arrest Grants. The police chief, Stacy White, also gets there, and the latest charge is obstruction. The officer himself admits that they have neither reasonable suspicion nor any legal grounds to detain or arrest. Is he going to get out and come back here and talk to us? No. [Applause] I know questions. Go ahead and just lock me up. What are you resting for? What are you? What are you arresting him for? Huh? He hasn't violated really a crime. Are you investigating a crime or possible crime? Possibly. Okay. He's instructing an officer for doing his duty, right? Okay. Said you're meeting somebody here in a few minutes. Legal right to make contact with you based on call I'm not here to to listen to you. I'm here to tell you what's going on. Okay. I don't care if you record me. Okay. You're obstructing an officer from doing his deed. So now you're under arrest unless you want to cooperate. Okay, that's have a nice Would you like to explain the address and the time on the folder inside your vehicle with the camera? I don't want to answer questions. Okay, you can identify yourself. I don't question. Look, man, you didn't ask a question. Hey, can you at least take your hands out of your pockets for me? Thank you. Look, that's what I'm trying to do, man. If you're a PI, no big deal. We'll get out of your hair. We just got to we got to confirm who you are. Make sure, especially with a camera car, make sure you're not doing peep and Tom stuff. Okay. Not a PI. So, the only thing you can have a camera for is if you hit if you're a PI. No, that's not what I'm saying, sir. Insurance adjusters aren't allowed to have insurance to take photographs of damage and stuff. Are you an insurance adjuster? I possibly might be. Okay. Do you have any proof of that? What law have I done? Sorry, I'm trying to back for a second. You mean investigative detention? Okay. Investigative detention at this time. You understand that? Do you understand that? I said here just said what did I say? That I'm under investigative detention. Okay. What does that mean? I'm being detained. Okay. So, you're being detained. I understand what that means. The officers ultimately let Grants go without charge. Later in a TV interview, Grants explained how the officers violated his Fourth Amendment rights. He also filed official complaints against the officers following which an internal investigation was launched. If you think it was Kenneth Grants who gave the humbling of a lifetime to egoistic cops, wait till you find out about the case of Sergeant McNeely. Who has higher rank? Your supervisor. Can I ask you a question? No. Are you Yo, what I'm going to Are you detaining me? No. Thank you. Bye. Thank you. This is Sergeant McNeely with the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office. An auditor who runs a YouTube channel, News Now South Carolina, uploaded this interaction. The auditor was peacefully filming in a public parking lot when two cops started harassing him and forced him to show his ID. Little did the officers know that they were about to receive the humbling of a lifetime. I think I'm being approached here. Pretty sure that's what's happening. Maybe not. Who knows? Uh, but if you go back over this way and back up that way, there's a gate up there. Not really too sure. Well, there's a car going in there. How you doing? I'm good. You? I'm all right, brother. Who are you? Whoa. Who are you? I'm Sergeant McNeely, Cleveland County Sheriff's Office. I'm Step back. You were really close to me, officer. Thank you. Um, I don't know who you are. You're you're looking in all of our vehicles. I am. Yeah. So, we we got a right to know who you are. And I have a right to tell you. I don't want to tell you unless I've been legally con convicted of a crime. Well, you got some ID on you. Why would you need ID? Cuz I want to see who you are. That's not how the law works, sir. It does. No. And this is not a stop and ID state. Can you tell me what crime I've committed? For viewers who don't know, several states in the US have stop and ID laws which allow police officials to ask for a person's name if there is a reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime. In this case, not only is there no suspicion of a crime, North Carolina does not have any such laws. This makes the officer's insistence on identifying the auditor completely illegal. What crime? Yes. You be you're looking in our patrol car. Is that is that breaking the law or is that just you don't like it? No, I want to know who you are. But sir, that's not the law. That's a personal why. That's the Did you ask me who I was earlier? But you have to identify yourself cuz you're enforcement. No, I don't. Not if I haven't broken the law, sir. And you should know that. How long have you been on this job? A long time. A long time. And you should know that, officer. Yeah, I do. So, you got any idea? No, I don't. You You ain't going to tell me who you are. And I don't consent to any to any searches and seizures either. Not unless I've committed a crime. And I haven't committed one. And you should know that law, officer. Like, I'm surprised that you been on this job and you don't know that law. I haven't committed a crime. So, you don't understand that we got more miles back than you got forward. Yeah. And you're really I'm going to take a step back cuz y'all get really close and y'all have guns. The second thing is you're not going to tell us what we're going to end up doing and not doing. You're on our property. You're looking in our vehicle. It's public property and my tax sheriff's office property belongs to the county. So, if you want to take a picture with your phone, you go out there on that sidewalk which is public. So, are you telling me that this isn't public property? No, it's priv it's a private it's a private county property. It's a private county property. If we want to know who you are, then we have a right to find out who you are. Does tax dollars pay for this property? Yes. So, which means I have the right to be here. You don't pay taxes, do you? Yes. Where you pay tax? Where you work at? Yeah. Why? I'm just asking. You know, you know where we work? Because y'all officers. Exactly. That's right. Okay. Both officers continue to perform logical somersaults to justify their actions. When the auditor asks them about the stop and identify statute, their reaction shows as if they haven't even heard these words. And given their actions, it is not entirely out of question either. But if I haven't broken the law, what's wrong with that? Okay, so I can go I can go do whatever I want to. If you haven't broken the law, you're free to go do whatever you want to do. And you should know that. Y'all should know that. If I'm not breaking the law, you should know that. What am I giving you? You should know. You should be able to identify yourself to law enforcement. If I've broken the law, you can't just walk up. Doesn't matter if you broke the law, man. You making stuff up, man. What's the stop and identify statute here? What's the stop and identify? This isn't a stop and identify state. It's it's not I know this. I've been doing this for a long time. Yeah, it don't have to be. We request information from you. You have to you have to provide If I don't give you my name, are you taking me to jail? If I don't give you my name, are you taking me to jail? Not necessarily. Talking about jail. You're the one talking about jail. I'm just trying to figure out I'm I'm trying to figure out my safety here cuz y'all can't y'all are really aggressive than it's got to be. How is it How am I making it hard? Y'all want to know my name? I don't have to tell you why. I just hide. What do you have to hide? I tell you what. You got warrants on you. Tell me. Do you suspect me having a warrant? I don't know. So, can I ask you a question then? All right. Go ahead. Ask me. Since it's not personal, I mean, hurry up. Hurry up. Since it's not legal, it's personal. Can I have your address? It's not personal. Can I have your address? Can you have No, no, no, no. My address is public record. Okay. Well, I agree. I ain't got nothing to hide. You evidently have Why don't you tell me? I don't have anything to hide. It's just my right. It's just my right to withhold my information. Mine, too. Okay, then. So if you know that why you ask me for my name and then get frustrated if I want to in your name. You don't have the power of arrest. We do. Who's in charge? So that's what I'm saying. So So you're threatening me with arrest cuz I'm not telling you my name. I'm saying we have power of arrest and you don't. We we do have power. So why bring up power of arrest? Fact. You're the one bringing that on yourself. C. Who's in charge here? We in charge here. Who has higher rank? Your supervisor. Catch your question. No. Are you Yo, what I'm going to Are you detaining me? No. Thank you. Bye. Thank you. See you now. But if you think this was embarrassing for the officers, this is because you don't know about the case of officer R. Neil with the San Leandro Police Department. First Amendment, you need to brush up on anything that I can see from public. I can tell. You can't You can't trespass what I can see. This is Officer Arnneal with the San Leandro Police Department. Two First Amendment auditors who run a YouTube channel named Sanwaqin Valley Transparency were filming in the parking lot of the police department when this cop approached them. Little did the clueless officer know whom he was about to run into. And right here, ladies and gentlemen, we have uh the inside of the uh the back of the the uh parking lot or the police park. Good morning. Hello. Nice attitude. That was cool. I can respect that. She will be left alone. How's it going? Not too bad. How you doing? Good. You filming the documentary or? Um, no, just the police station. Oh, any particular reason? Uh, just so I can view it later. Any specific reason? I mean, yeah, obviously we have security uh security concerns and when you film in this area where we're releasing people who have been arrested, they have a a right to privacy. No, they don't. People coming in and out of jail. If if I can see them from public, they don't. So, you need to How How do you figure that? First amendment, you need to brush up on it. Anything that I can see from public, I can film. You can't You can't trespass what I can see. So, as long as I'm standing where I'm allowed to be, I can take a picture of anything. So, you can film into a house on the sidewalk? Yes, sir. Okay. So, you guys are just filming for your own personal needs. And we don't want to answer no questions. Yeah. We rather be left alone. Okay. Our family. Obviously, you guys are upsetting people, which is why I'm up here because I could care less if you guys are up here. But we can care less if we upset people, too. Okay. All right. Well, if their feelings are their feelings are not our concern. Our rights aren't subjected to that. I got it. Yeah, that's right. So, you antagonizing people doesn't concern you guys at all. What is that? Um, I don't understand how you antagonizing. Yeah, exactly. You're the only antagonizer here. But you're in public, right? Yeah. But you're on the clock, right? And you serve the you serve me. All right. I'm doing what? I'm doing I'm asking you to leave me alone. I'm asking you to break contact. I I don't wish to engage with you no more. Okay. So, you have a good day. You're dismissed. Can you state your name and badge number, please? No, you can see it. It's 3:15. Is that what you tell the judge? You guys can do whatever you would like to do. And we already know that. But as long as you guys are recording our inmates or people coming and going, they obviously have a right to privacy. No, they don't. Ask Trump to build the wall right here. Yeah. You That's That's not how it works. So you guys are merely antagonizing people. No, you're the only antagonizer here. Us into getting us to stop recording because you don't want the lights turning on you for some reason. Doesn't matter me. Then you should have just let alone. You're the one that's making a fool out of yourself with coming out of your mouth. That lady that lady wasn't bothered. She said, "Hi." You're the only one that's bothered. Look at you. Call for service. Sergeant got educated today. Have a great Monday. Stay in your own lane. The officer takes a long walk of shame back to his office. These auditors professionally answered all the questions and kudos to them for standing their ground. Just when you think you have seen it all, a case like that of officer Britain shows that there is no limit to the stupidity of such cops. But again, you're taking pictures of police people leaving police vehicles. Okay. Police vehicles from a police parking lot. Okay. That's suspicious. Is it suspic Is that a crime? It's not a crime. Okay. So, am I free to go or am I being detained? You're being detained right now. This is Officer Britain with the Surprise Police Department in Surprise, Arizona. An auditor by the name of Valley Community Watch conducted this audit. Officer Britain and two detectives not only illegally detained this citizen, but they also demanded his ID. But the auditor stood strong and did not yield to these tyrant cops. Watch how these officers got owned. Yes, sir. here. I'm taking pictures of vehicles that are coming in and out of the parking lot. Yeah, I'm standing on public taking pictures. Okay. Why are you taking pictures of vehicles? Just cuz I'm standing out in public taking pictures. Okay. Do you have any ID on you? Uh, no. Have I done something wrong? Um, it's a little suspicious that someone's taking pictures of license plates leaving a secure building. Is that a misdemeanor, a felony? No, it's suspicious. Okay. So, why do I need ID? Because we need to know who you are. I don't think so. If I've not committed a crime, I'm not giving you ID. 323. Sorry, George. You heard the subject's refusing to provide ID or identify himself. Can I see your hand, please, sir? Yeah, sure. I have no weapons. I have nothing. I have nothing on me. I have my phone in this pocket. That's it. Like I said, I'm out in public taking pictures. That's it. Right. But again, you're taking pictures of people leaving police vehicles. Okay. Police vehicles from a police parking lot. Okay. That's suspicious. Is it suspic Is that a crime? It's not a crime. Okay. So, am I free to go or am I being detained? You're being detained right now. Okay. Can you tell me the crime? We're detaining you because of your suspicious activity. Is that a crime? Okay. Am I being detained or am I free to go? Some sort of idea. Am I being detained or am I free to go? You're not free to go right now. Okay. So, I'm being detained. Can you articulate a crime? We don't know that you haven't committed a crime yet. It is unclear if this officer is actually this crass or if he is deliberately feigning ignorance. A citizen cannot be questioned if the officer does not know that a crime has not been committed. By the extension of this logic, every citizen in public will become subject to searches and seizures even if they have not committed a crime. So once you figure that out, I'll provide an ID. Until then, am I free to go? No. Okay. So then I'm just going to I'm going to remain silent then. Alpha, also need your name and badge number, please. Sure. Officer Brutin 205. Your name, badge number, sir. Detective for Brook 2081. Thank you, ma'am. Detective codes 2181. Thank you. And your name, sir? Not giving it. Oh, okay. Would you feel comfortable on that line of work if you had not answered any of your questions? Who's a Georgia? Someone's in. Huh? Someone's in here. This is not a consensual encounter. First of all, I didn't ask for help. I don't need help. I'm standing here taking pictures in public. Detective, detectives and police officers and other people leaving a secure facility and vehicles are assigned to us. Some people work as in undercover capacities and we have a person out recording those as they're leaving vehicles. Okay. How do I know that? Well, how do we know who you are? You don't know who I am. You're not a threat to us or something. If I was a threat to us or threat to you, would I be out here in an orange vest, not trying to hide anything. I didn't run from you. I stood here right when you called me. I'm not trying to run. I'm not a threat. I'm no threat. I have no weapons. I would show you, but I'm afraid if I reach for my hip, something bad would happen. I'm not going to do that. I have no weapons. I have no ill intent. If you reach for an ID and let us Well, I don't have an ID and wouldn't show it to you if I did because again, I have not committed a crime. If you can articulate a crime, I'll provide an ID. Until then, am I free to go? You're not free to go at this time. So, I'm being detained. It's investigative. I'm I'm being unlawfully detained. Yes or no? You're detaining me unlawfully. You're not being unlawful, sir. You're unlawfully detaining me. Do you do you suspect me of a crime? Suspicious activity. That's legal grounds to detain you. do. No, it is not. The only problem with this narrative is that filming in public is not a crime. Hence, in the absence of suspicion of a crime, such a stop and identify command, is illegal. The auditor reaches for his phone, but ensures that he shows the officer that he does not pose a threat. This is when the supervisor also gets there. I'm not answering any more questions. Okay. First amendment protected activity and they find it suspicious, everyone. So, I'm going to greets for my phone and that's it. Only my phone's in no my pocket. Okay, nice and slow. You got it. Just a cell phone. Now you're going to be live streamed. So again, am I being detained or am I free to go? You're being detained at this time. Okay. Can you articulate a crime? The reason we're detaining you is because you're conducting suspicious activity. Is that a crime? We don't know that yet. You're refusing to speak to us. I I am not refusing to speak to you. I said I'm out taking pictures in public. You're refusing to provide any kind of ID. I don't have to provide an ID if I am not suspected of a crime. That is a law, sir. It's a first amendment protected activity. You'd like to eliminate the possibility in our minds that you're committing suspicious. I am suspicious activity is not a crime. How you doing? I'm Robertson. Can I have your badge number? Your badge number, please. 2029. Thank you. All right. All right, you can go ahead and leave, but you have to realize that it does look suspicious. I don't have to realize that, sir. I'm glad you say I can leave. Have a good day, sir. Thank you. Thank you. You guys have a nice day. Stay safe. Thank you. You, too. The auditor made his point clear with clinical accuracy. He was well articulated, did not invite trouble by doing anything foolish, and remained thoroughly professional during the encounter. As for the officers, they definitely deserve to get owned for their illegal behavior. It is comforting to know that there are educated citizens and auditors who are safeguarding the first amendment's rights of the citizens. As for the dirty cops, fortunately, the law does not follow their whims and wishes. If you enjoyed this video, let me know in the comment section and don't forget to subscribe. Goodbye.
