He is trespassing. Mhm. >> And he will not leave. >> I'm trespassing in public. I shouldn't have to tell you that, but you might want to call your sergeant before you make a huge mistake. >> Bad, please. >> Officer Polley. Badge number 211. >> Thanks, Offic. I'm filming. I think they were confused. >> Superintendent Dublin issues shocking threat. I'll put you down. >> If you can't state who you are and what you're here for, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I ask you to leave, sir. >> Okay. Yeah. Like private property? >> Yes. >> Are you sure about that? A first amendment audit turns into a tense confrontation in a public building. As soon as we entered the Dublin school district headquarters, everything seemed normal. But just a few minutes later, tension exploded when the cameras appeared. >> Just taking pictures of the building. >> Okay. Have you checked in with the secretary? >> But you're not able to walk throughout the building without signing in and having somebody escort you. >> They'll confirm any public areas I can be in and be around. The assistant director asked for a signature, asked for an escort, but the cameraman flatly refused. Just because of that, the police were called. >> I was just taking pictures around the area. >> Okay. Do you work here? >> No. Do you? >> I do. Awesome. >> The assistant superintendent and and we don't usually have people take pictures of our boards, children. So, I'm going to ask that you not do that unless we have another conversation about what you need the photos for. >> Well, I mean, these are kind of up out in the open. I would put them in the back or something if you don't want people to take pictures of them. >> Okay. But I still want to understand what you need the photos for. >> I'm just taking pictures of the building. >> Okay. Have you checked in with the secretary? >> Okay. So, let me have you sign in if you're going to be in the district office. >> No, I don't typically sign in. >> Well, then I'm sorry, but you don't have permission to be in the building without signing in. >> Why is that? >> You check in at the office and you identify who you are to visit the building. without doing that. Um, we need to know why you're here so we can support you and help you get in touch with the person that you need. >> Gotcha. No. Um, no. I'm just going to walk around. I don't need any help, so I don't need anything from you guys. Yeah. >> And I understand that, but you're not able to walk throughout the building without signing in and having somebody. >> Well, I don't understand why that is. I mean, I don't want to sign in. If you want guys want to follow me around, you can. >> Do you have students in our school district without being able to understand how to support you? Um, you you're not able to just walk through the building. >> Uh, so again, I don't need any support from you at all. >> So, get out of there. >> I'm here. I >> think she's like the boss or something. >> Then suddenly, the superintendent appeared and instead of being calm, he dropped a shocking sentence. I'll put you down. Was that a real threat? >> Information officer. >> Oh, cool. She's trying to understand why somebody we don't know is in the building taking pictures without explanation. >> For myself, I don't want to disclose that. >> Well, I think if you're going to be here in our space taking pictures of our building and possibly people cuz I saw you taking pictures of >> Well, because this is a place of business >> and anytime even though it is a public place, uh we do have rules that govern um who comes in and and what they do when they're in here. Is that right? >> Is that your guys's policy or Yeah, I didn't understand that when she said it at first. Um, >> sign in. >> No, I don't I don't I don't need to sign in cuz I don't need help from you guys specifically. So, >> funny part is when I asked to sign in, nobody said they were going to escort me as Heather said. So, >> and did someone >> I don't understand what the issue is. >> Where the restroom was? >> Yeah. And I went and used it >> and that was awesome. In reality, anytime you come into her office, you need to check in and you need to be here for a reason, not just >> Well, taking pictures is a reason to wander. >> You have to have permission for that, sir. From the superintendent >> from Is there is there is there other offices back there that people the public can get assistance from or >> they come? >> I mean, I saw I saw them back there. So, >> they come in for an appointment and if and if they don't have an appointment and someone who they want to see is not available, then you'll have to make an appointment. But you don't get to just wander any public office. >> Yeah, because it's public. Yeah. >> Hello. >> Yeah. >> So, Sarah, um, if you can't state who you are and what you're here for, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. >> What was your name again? >> My name is Chris Fox. >> Yeah. I don't disclose who I am. There's really no need for me to disclose that. >> Well, then I'm going to ask you to leave, sir. >> Okay. Yeah. Like you wear a jacket. >> No, you're going to leave, sir. >> Oh, I thought you guys wanted to go outside. No, it's cold. That's too cold out there for me. I don't want to leave. >> Dublin police arrived. Initially, they sided with the school authorities, even mentioning trespassing, but the truth about publicity laws made them embarrassed and had to call in higher-ups. >> You You guys called them. You can talk to him. >> This person won't identify who he is. >> He is trespassing. >> Mhm. >> And he will not leave. I'm >> trespassing pictures. So, I've asked him to leave and he refuses to leave. So sir, this is private property and they don't want you here. >> It's private property. >> Yes. >> Are you sure about that? >> Yes. >> They've said several times it's public. >> This is a public building. If you have money to go, >> you you might want to cuz you're you're being dumb right now. You're doing something dumb. Until you're until you're done with that, let me know. I'm going to go about my business and take my pictures. >> This is a this is a public area and you can't be trespassed from public. And uh next time you threaten me, if I feel like you're going to attack me, I'm going to defend myself. So don't do it again. This guy laughs. Skinny little twig over there. So, the superintendent said he's gonna put me down if I get rid. And then we got the twig laughing about me saying defense. I'm gonna defend myself. It's funny as all hell. So, you got the Dublin Police Department officer calling his sergeant because he's way out of his. And uh I'm walking around the public areas. These are the public bathrooms as you can see. So, you clearly have access back here. Now, if you need to come educational services, special education, you have access to this office. So, now they're closing this uh public building. Here goes educational student services. You have access to this as well. Right here, this is a lobby for people who need help from the public. >> So, this is simple. >> These are private offices. >> These are people public doesn't come in here for stuff. In the end, no handcuffs appeared, but the threats and heated arguments left a big question mark. Who really understood the law and who was the one overstepping their authority? >> I've been respectful the whole time. Right. >> Stop talking. >> So, I can talk to you all I want. What's your name and badge number? >> Verbrook 1384. >> Okay, I'll talk to you all I want. >> Think it's professional to be chewing while you're on duty like that? Is that professional of you, sir? This guy's got lip full of chew talking to people. I can smell that [ __ ] from 4t away from him. Anyways, so yeah, I can uh walk the public building and uh wander around the police department like you asked earlier and I'm sure they'll confirm any public areas I can be in and be around. So >> that's you for a second. >> Cool. See, did you learn that? I hope you learned something, bud. We got Gerbert who's uh uh you take testosterone or something steroids. Be professional. >> All right. Got it. Yes, sir. That's what I want to hear from now on. He starts laughing. What a clown. He doesn't know who he works for either. Apparently, he, you know, you come in, you're talking to people, trying to explain your rights, and he says, "I don't need to talk to you. >> Don't talk to me like that. I was just trying to explain to these dudes. It would have been better if you guys would have came in and said, "Hey, he can be here." And then I wouldn't need to explain nothing to him. But I understand I hear you understand these public accessible areas the halls and stuff without identifying. So >> funny how that works at 4:30 once it's closed like you acknowledged. >> Yeah. If it's closed I can't be here. It's not open to the public at that point but right now it is. >> And you uh threatened to put me down. Does that sound like a good idea or professional from a superintendent of schools >> about why why you're even here in the first place? >> Nope. Nope. I got some business. I'm conducting. >> Okay. >> And uh what I was going to ask you a second ago is he was giving an example and I'm just I was really trying to educate them. It would have been better to approach a different way from you guys. I wish you were already educated on this. It doesn't seem like you were. >> So luckily we could help you out with that and I was trying to get you to confirm that yeah you absolutely can. >> Yeah. >> So public building public servants all you guys you guys will work for the public. The superintendent was heavily criticized for his put you down remarks which were considered a threat of violence and unbecoming of an educational leader. The incident showed a lack of understanding of civil rights in public officials and local police. The person filming the video warned that he would appeal to the community which could lead to disciplinary action or the loss of Funk's position. Next, in the middle of a public building, a staff member loudly announces, "No filming allowed here, but is it the law or just an unfounded ban?" >> Absolutely allowed to film me. You can call the police. I implore you if you feel that you need to do that. >> I think they were confused. They thought that there was some sort of consent in a public place. >> So, I had no and I showed the officer the video. >> The people strongly protested. The law of mutual consent has been abolished. This counterattack silenced the whole room. >> Just getting a duplicate license. We're filming just because it's a public building and there's no expectation of privacy in public. >> So, there is actually in the state of Massachusetts there's two two consent authorization and I'm not consenting you to film me. >> Well, here's the thing. You're absolutely wrong. I've done this at the uh DEA Secret Service and the Bill Rick Police Department right up the street. You're more than welcome to call them. They're going to let you know that as long as I'm in public, I have business to conduct here today. This is a constitutionally protected activity. But you're a public official in a public place. I'm absolutely allowed to film me. You can call the police. I implore you if you feel that you need to do that, but they're going to explain to you the same thing. >> I mean, sir, we all have cameras here at all. Be, you know, tricky. I should be allowed to have him film me conducting my business. >> But there's also there's also customers in this building that are not >> consent. But the common mistake people make is you don't need like paparazzi make no money if you have to like get a consent. You don't need any consent. The moment you step foot in public, there's zero expectation of privacy. And I actually have a video from the police department. It's the same thing. You can call them if you want. >> Yeah. No, >> but this is a conservation protected activity. We're not here. And just so you do know, we could film the patrons. No private information. We're just here to document the process of what he's doing today. >> All right. >> All right. Appreciate it, man. Thank you so much. >> Your hair's looking phenomenal, bro. And I don't know where you're going, but it looks good. >> That guy looks like 10 pounds of [ __ ] in a two pound bag. >> I do not want my >> public. So, you don't sign consent. >> My personal image. I do not >> Oh, that's a request. I give them permission, but I do not give you permission. >> That's a request, ma'am. That's a request. >> We just talked to him. He understands. >> I don't care. >> Instead of protecting citizens, the building security guard shouted, "What do you want?" A tense question sparking the confrontation. >> So guys, what you just missed is I came outside. I didn't hit the cam record button in time, but that security guard right there, I come out and these folks are talking. He goes, "What do you want?" >> That's not very nice. Sticks and stones. I guess sticks and stones may break my bones, but cameras never hurt me. Go outside and I thought I hit the film button. I didn't. It was only a split second. I walk out and the guy that's just helping you says, "Yeah, and they're filming. We don't want to be on film." Then the security guard says, "What do you want? A valued member of the public >> on a public easement conducting a constitutionally protected activity with business at a publicly funded place?" That's the problem because I don't normally blame exactly the employees, but it rolls downhill. They're they can, you know, leadership by example. I lead by incent. Well, the wiretap laws were repealed, but filming a consensual conversation in a public place wasn't covered under wiretap anyways. And that security makes them ignorant of the law. >> How much you want to bet that security god applied for the police force and did not make it cuz you can tell he really wants to use his firearm. I wonder how many people he was wishing he could shoot just today. >> How many you think? >> 12. Well, 13. >> Police appear making a shocking request. You need to show two forms of identification to film. But is there really such a law? >> Please. >> Officer Foley, badge number 211. >> Thanks, Officer Foley. We're uh my friends in here getting a duplicate copy of his license. >> I'm filming. I think they were confused. They thought that there was some sort of consent in a public place. >> Okay. >> And um that's all. Um, am I being detained? >> No, you're not. >> All right. So, I can refuse to answer that question. >> You certainly can. >> Thank you. So, is there a problem filming in a public place? >> I understand that you are not. You're allowed to do what you're doing. >> I am perfect. So, that's the whole point. Okay. >> Well, what you're doing is you're causing people inside to have an issue. >> I actually have the film if you'd like to review it. Not one person has an issue. You know why? Cuz not one consumer has been on this film. >> Four people. My friend, security guard, this gentleman, and the other woman. Most of the video is going towards the ceiling because we're not here for conduction. We can't say that there's been any loud words. There's been no interaction with anyone else in here. >> So, their issue is Yeah. The issue is that they think that it's not okay to film. >> Okay. >> So, we're just letting them know that it's not a two-party consent. It's it's public. Right down there with the hat last row in this like right down this last row right here. Yeah. >> Follow you. >> All right. >> Oh, see there they know it's the guy that comes to film the PDS. It's Josh. office floor tool. >> We've established there is. >> How can I help you? >> Um, you make your way this way. >> Film it cuz I do it too. >> No, I understand. I have no problems you guys filming or you guys can do that. >> Yeah. >> So, is there a is there a law that we can't film in here? This is what I'm trying to understand. >> So, what is your what is your business doing? >> Okay. I'm getting duplicate of my >> Okay. >> So, I have official business here. Then I I brought hips. In the end, when the truth is revealed, who is the one who really learned the valuable lesson in the battle between freedom and the imposition of power? >> Even have to answer questions to why I'm filming because right now >> I'm doing a Constitution protected activity. I could stay here all day if I want. I have business here. >> Okay. >> Can I can I ask you to not have the phone at the counter cuz there's privacy. >> I didn't plan to bring Not because there's any laws prohibiting me from doing it cuz if you want privacy, you have to create it. But when someone goes up to the window, they have the expectation that that's a private encounter. So I had no Okay. >> And I showed the officer the video. >> Anybody here to get a duplicate license? Okay. We're cooperating. You said you weren't going to film up there. >> You're not going to film up there, right? >> I'm not going to. If I wanted to, I could. >> Anybody? >> I'm not going to go up there. >> Film me. All I'm going to do is watch you. >> So would you please, Officer Foley, I understand. Um I I do believe that you're doing a good job. I understand that you have to take the facts that they're reported and investigate and and they use the term this day and age, but >> I can't make you do something clean up the mess. >> I don't mind. You know what? I don't mind doing that. I think life is all about equal balance and measures. While I'm doing that, >> I'm going to take a soft Yes. >> Yeah. Would you like >> No, you don't have to do that. I'm actually going to help. I'm going to If you get me some paper towels, I'll do that. >> Possibly. >> I'll throw some paper towels on there. Yeah. >> No, no, no. >> Because Accountability for All is here for anything. And we're here to serve the public. And the RMV employees learned a valuable lesson today that it's all right to film in a public place. I don't think this guy's super happy about it, but you mind having a seat for me? >> Yep, that's fine. >> Citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights. Pursuant to 42 US code SS1983, individuals/organizations are required to pay damages to the injured party. Violating police officers may be disciplined, have their licenses suspended, fired, or expelled depending on the policy of the agency/ police chief. They proved that filming in a public building was legal. There were no actual arrests, but the fact that the police asked for two pieces of ID and initially sided with the RMV employee shows ignorance and potential abuse of power. Next, a man riding an electric bike was stopped in the middle of the road, but the reason left viewers gasping. No hand signals. >> This is a traffic stop. >> For what? >> I need to see your driver's license registration proof insurance. You didn't use your hand signals right here when you made a turn. No, you don't have >> I need He's arresting me for riding electric bike. >> When the citizen asserted his right to remain silent and called 911, the police officer responded with a sentence that made everyone's blood run cold. I'm going to take you to jail. >> Hello. >> I don't want to stop talking. I want to leave. >> Okay. This is a traffic stop. I need to see your driver's license, registration, proof of insurance. >> No, none of that. I I don't have to give you any of that. This is an electric bike. >> It doesn't matter. You still have to obey the rules of the road, >> buddy. >> You have to obey the rules of the road. >> What's the rules of the road? >> Well, you didn't use your hand signals right here when you made a turn. >> No, you don't have to. >> You're swerving on both sides of the roadway >> because I'm avoiding things. I'm not going to give you any information. If you're if I'm being detained, okay, I refuse to talk to you. I plead the fifth. Okay. And if I'm being detained, you have to tell me. >> This is a traffic stop. >> No, it's not. Yes, it is. >> It's not a traffic stop. You have to tell me it's a traffic stop. >> It is a traffic stop. I'm not going to give you anything. Then you're going to go to jail. Then you're going to jail. You're going to send me to jail. Fine. >> I don't want to send you to jail. >> No. No. No. No. Fine. >> All it is is a minor traffic. I'm not going to give you anything. >> Okay. >> You have no time. I better leave right now. >> No, you're not leaving right now. >> I'm not going to give you anything. >> Okay. Information. If not, you're going to be arrested. >> Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I plead I plead the fifth and I'm done talking to you. >> I don't want to take you to jail. Listen, I don't want to take you to jail. I need your name. >> Can somebody call 911? You're detaining me for no reason. >> No obvious violation, no dangerous behavior, but just because of a phone call from the residential area. The man was handcuffed right on the street. >> Why not? >> Absolutely not. >> This is not your I'm >> Can you call 911? >> All right. Go ahead and turn around. Put your hands behind your back. >> I need He's arresting me for riding electric bike. >> Well, this out of jurisdiction. >> Are you a BART deputy? >> Yep. at the courthouse. >> Oh, you were at the courthouse. Uh, >> he was farther around here. That's probably because HOA called on them. >> Oh, okay. >> All right. >> There's a lot of little kids right on here cuz HOA called him. >> Yeah. Okay. >> No, this is a public street. This is not a HOA street. It's not private. >> HOA? I guess they called you for a reason. >> Well, >> what's your name, bud? >> I'm under arrest. That's it. I'm done. >> Right. You got to give me your name. >> No, absolutely not. >> Print you at the jail. >> You can do it whatever you want. >> Okay. >> I'm done. >> All right. >> Let's go. I got to move some stuff out of my car. I'm just going to put him back here for now. I got to move some stuff. >> Hang on right here, bud. Right there by the car. Thank you. >> Whatever you want, buddy. >> This is an illegal stop and it's only >> "I'm autistic," the man cried out in despair as he was arrested for something that even the police were at a loss to explain. Doesn't matter. This is what I'm riding. It's a bicycle. You didn't catch nothing. >> Yeah. 25 years. >> 25. >> You You said that. You say that >> 25 years doesn't matter. >> Do whatever you want. >> All right. This is kidnapping. Can Can you tie them in front? >> I'll put them in the front as long as I >> I don't fit here.

I'm telling you. >> Whatever you want. >> So why do you show me your bad? >> I'm active here. >> You know this guy's name? >> No. The guy on camera. I gave my name and stuff. Okay. >> 5154. >> Yeah. >> Appreciate you, man. What's your >> Scott Stewart? Thanks, man. >> Bike, right? >> Uh, we're going to have to tow it. >> An electric bike under 750 watts. An absurd arrest, and a chilling warning from the people. You will lose your job because of this. >> Can Can you tie them in front? I'll put them in the front as long as I I don't fit here and I'm not cor Well, you're going to put them in front. >> I will. I don't cooperate with >> I'm going to release this hand. You're going to put it on the top of your head. Okay. >> Put on the top of your head. >> I'm not going anywhere.

Citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights. Pursuant to 42 US Code SS1983, the individual/organization may be required to pay restitution to the injured party. In severe or intentional cases, punitive damages may be ordered. Additionally, the court may order the losing party to pay the plaintiff's attorney fees and litigation costs. Police officers who fail to give reasonable notice, do not have a warrant, and make unlawful arrests, show signs of abuse of power, and lack of legal knowledge. If proven, this behavior may violate constitutional rights, leading to disciplinary action, civil lawsuits, or criminal proceedings against the individual police officers involved. The auditor sees this as a valuable lesson for RMV employees and police. Hey guys, what do you think about this situation?
