I see the signs, but I also saw that this is >> Before he could even finish a sentence, someone shouted, "Hands on the wall." A confrontation erupting over nothing more than filming in what [music] is supposed to be a public space. >> I'm going to prove to you that there's no signage. >> Hey, check the signage. >> You guys got nothing better to do. Look at you guys. What is wrong with you? There is no sign. >> If you don't vacate the premises, the patrol division will come over. >> Just seconds into the encounter, a shocking command blows the tension wide open. Why is a man with a camera immediately threatened with arrest? >> I can see where you think it may be a civilian. >> It doesn't have county plates. I know that >> we have a lot of cars in our fleet that are that have normal confidential plates on. >> More than a dozen officers rush out surrounding him from every direction. No restricted signs. VS restricted area. Who's right and who's abusing their authority? >> Okay, thank you. That's it. My name is Sean. >> Well, they they they said that you were out here walking around. Yeah, I'm just taking a look at the vehicle.

I'm taking a look at the vehicles right now. >> Why are you taking a look at the vehicles? >> I find them interesting. It was interesting to look at. That's all. >> All right. So, are are you done here or are you going to continue to wander around? >> Wander around. I I don't think I'm wandering around. Wandering around means like you don't have a purpose or anything.

I think I think they're interesting and I wanted to look at them. >> All right. So, you're going to leave or you can you're going to continue to stay? >> I'm going to continue to stay. Yeah. Thanks. So that's uh correctional officer Johnson here. >> This is a public area. There's a charging station marked public use. A counterargument dropped right in the middle of the standoff. What made a single sentence flip the entire situation? >> Hands up against the wall. >> Excuse me, sir. >> Your hands up against the wall. You're on private property sheriff's office. >> I'm not breaking any laws. Who are you? >> I am the officer working here. >> You're going to tell me to put my hands up against the wall? I am not breaking any laws. You have no authority to detain me. >> Are you even a deputy sheriff? >> Watcher. >> Are you a more manpower out to where the car right now? >> More manpower for what? >> Appreciate that. >> You can't be here filming. >> Sir, you seem tired after what you just did.

This is not >> I'm telling you. >> Put your hands up against the wall. >> Look at these guys all running in. >> Hands up. >> I'm not breaking any laws. I'm not Don't do it. Don't violate my rights. There's no signage here. There's no signage. There is no signage. You guys need to calm down. >> There is no signage. >> Look, look when I walked in right here. >> Look, look where I walked in with the stairs. Don't touch me. >> Signage by the stairs. >> No, there is not. No, there is not. There is no signage. >> There is signage. >> I'm going to prove to you that there's no signage. >> And check the signage. >> You guys got nothing better to do. Look at you guys. What is wrong with you? There is no sign. >> How about if you don't vacate the premises, the patrol division will come over and they'll address the issue at hand. >> You have no authority to arrest anyone. You guys are correctional officers. >> Listen to what I said. >> You're in. >> He told me to put my hands on the wall. Like, you have law enforcement capabilities. >> Doesn't matter. >> I don't care who you are. You're not allowed to violate the Constitution. >> You can't trespass. >> Yeah, you're trespassing. >> Where's the sign? Where's the sign? Look, I came from these stairs right here. Look at this. See these stairs? >> They walk him over to verify the signs. In front of him, a restricted area notice. Behind him, a staircase with no warning at all. Which side of this contradiction will prevail? >> Thank god it's not raining again. >> Oh, beautiful day. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Absolutely beautiful day for a walk. >> A lot better than the past few days. >> Oh, yeah. Even Even on Long Island. Yeah. >> Pouring. >> So, the cars that you did check, are they they all right? >> They look good. I check the tire. I do everything. I'm looking out for you guys, man.

So, >> right. >> So, walking down the stairs where you said you did, right? >> Do you understand their concern? >> Well, I guess it would be >> given you that you saw this. I know that you said you came in from up there, >> right? But again, I I'm not saying that nobody Everybody could be concerned. It's subjective, right? Anybody could be concerned about whatever. I was just explaining to the other deputy here that if they were concerned about people getting reconnaissance, you can get that from Google Earth, right? You can get that from Google Street View. You can get a whole layout of this facility. It's actually 3D printed. I was looking at it before. >> You know, it it it doesn't seem rational to me if this is a restricted area, which I don't know if it is. Just they have signs. I see the signs, but I also saw that this is a public charging station, and it looks like a civilian vehicle is there charging. I don't know. It's not a county vehicle. >> It It's probably a county vehicle. I can see where you think it may be a civilian. >> It doesn't have county plates. I know that >> we have a lot of cars in our fleet that are that have normal confidential plates on them. Okay. And and again from now let's take a walk to where I walked in. Okay. Just so we could be clear because I don't go into restricted areas. >> Well, you're with us now, so you're good. [laughter] >> Got my personal escort, huh? >> From hands on the wall to scanning a QR code to file a complaint, the accountability spiral begins. After this unprecedented show of force, whose name will justice call out? >> And you can complete that online and submitted. >> All right. >> I don't know how you prefer to do it. >> Um, I can do it online. It's not a problem. I mean, it's it's not that big of a deal, but as far as filing it online. >> So, that's me, me, Sergeant McGuire. That's the case number that's assigned to them going out and talking to you, >> right? And this is um it wasn't just to be clear, you're you're sergeant for the >> road patrol. >> Road patrol, right? So, the officers that I spoke to regarding the road patrol, the actual deputies, the law enforcement officers, I had no issues with them. My issues were with the correctional officers. So, this would be the same. >> It's the same process. >> Same process. >> You would just And I I wouldn't know specifically only because I've never filed a personnel complaint against uh anybody here. >> Okay. >> I would have to imagine that there's something in there that you can write out what uh the issue was and you can make a special notation in there to say this is directed towards members of the corrections officer. >> Okay. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't like a a whole separate function. It all falls under the sheriff's department. >> We are, but we're not, >> if that makes sense. Okay. >> So, the sheriff oversees both the road patrol and the corrections division. Um, the corrections division has their own supervisors, their own their own chain of command and so on and so forth, just as we do. >> Um, I'm only coming out and speaking to you because you had interactions with some of my deputies, >> right? >> And it's probably just easier for me to provide you with that. >> Got Okay. Gotcha. Is there somebody that's in charge besides the sheriff of the correctional division? So, like I said, they have their own chain of command. They have sergeants, they have lieutenants, they have captains, they have a major. Um, they have uh a colonel, which is the guy that actually oversees >> the day jail dayto day. Ultimately, the sheriff is responsible over both sides of the house. >> Gotcha. All right. Yeah. I just want to make it clear my my my complaints have nothing to do with the road unit that came out. So, all right. Thank you. I appreciate your time. No, thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you. You, too. Bye-bye. All right. Fellow patriots. So, we're just getting out of the Olter County Correctional Facility and Law Enforcement Center here in Kingston, New York.
