Overlapping orders and threats of arrest all erupted into an unprecedentedly tense confrontation. Al Vish maintained calmness in spite of the tension. A citizen with a camera walked into the courthouse. Just a few minutes later, the entire system of power began to stir. You're welcome to go up the public area and film all you want. You cannot film in the employee area. I don't know what authority you have as a law I don't know if you're a law enforcement officer or not. So, are you going to arrest me or not? >> I don't want to arrest you now. Okay. Are you going to arrest >> They kept ordering, "Leave immediately." But when asked about the legal basis, everyone suddenly fell silent. What is being hidden behind the courthouse gates? You cannot be back here. It's a secure area. What What about it is it a secure?

But they're not lawful orders because you don't you don't have Threats of arrest, orders to leave, abuse of power. The question arises, who truly holds authority here and who is crossing the limits of the law? You're being informed right now that this is an employee lot. If you made an error and didn't know that, that's fine. You're welcome to go up the public area and film all you want. You cannot film in the employee area. But what about this area is restricted? >> No, I'm this is an employee lot. But I'm not parking, sir. >> you right now. You can't be in the employee lot. But there's no signs. You're restricting it just cuz of me. Yeah, but you're tailoring a policy just to violate my rights as me and specifically. You know who I am.

Are you a law enforcement Are You will be arrested immediately. The warning rang out like a suspended sentence, setting the stage for an intense legal showdown about to erupt. If I go out to this parking lot, are you going to arrest me? I'll ask you again one more time, and if you >> Am I I need to know No, no, no, please. Please, just tell me. >> I I I don't want to go into semantics. >> If I go on the parking lot, are you going to arrest me? >> clear right now the rules that I'm asking you, right?

Are you going to arrest I'll beat it just like I beat everything else. So, just I I know my rights. >> From a seemingly harmless act of filming, everything erupted into a fierce legal battle, dragging the entire power system into a whirlwind of criticism. told you that. Regardless of whether you have a camera >> think you're wrong. >> Regardless of whether you have a camera. I I said you were welcome to film here. I told you I'd give you an explanation here. Yeah, but I I think you're wrong though. I think I think you're wrong because I have a constitutional right. I'm not bothering anybody. There's no security threat here. You know who I am. Again, Mr. Reyes, in the public area, you are more than welcome to record outside the front of the courthouse. >> publicly accessible area. And And your marshals, let me talk to you about them, too. This lieutenant and this marshal over here completely completely unacceptable behavior. They're dredging my intentions. They're try They're They're being very rude and condescending towards me from the get-go. Cuz I know how I did it. >> And you'll see it. And you will see it. And you know you will. You'll see it. You guys know who I am. You guys know I don't I I I'm not breaking the law. The same corrupt judge who's a special prosecutor, who's the president of the the Connecticut state prosecution's union. I'll do it again. So, the problem with the problem with you telling me this is a restricted area is that where does it start? You don't have any type of Do you have no guidance on where these things start? >> Please. Thank you. What you're looking for is the distinction I gave you. Who gave you this authority? Who told you? No, but I'm asking you, who gave you as the chief constable here Excuse me, the chief marshal here, who gave you the authority to trespass me? Are you the caretaker of this facility? >> Mr. Reyes, you have my answers here. No, I don't. Are you the custodian of this facility? Do you have authority? Do you have that authority, sir? I'm asking you it's a simple question, sir. I'm I'm really just asking you a simple question. Are you the custodian of this facility here? [Music] Citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights pursuant to 42 U.S. Code SS 1983. Individual/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. Shawn announced he would take the case to court, claiming the marshals abused their power and violated the First Amendment rights to free speech and recording. Up next, the public door swung open, a confirmation was heard, and right after that, the story took an unexpected turn. You just violated my rights. And you touched me. I didn't touch you. >> Why are you cussing at Can I see the camera? Oh, here. >> Hold it. There you go. For Well, hold on. Let me Let me let my wrist go and get it off my wrist. I'm not going to do nothing till you done. Now Now I'm being detained right now. From internal procedure, it turned into an order to leave with trespass accusations dropped like a hammer, sending tensions soaring. Well, I mean, he was he was arguing whether I could be here, but I was just asking questions. I've just requested public records, and they're just ignoring me to do my public records request, which I have a right to do under the penal code. So, you're aren't supposed to be here. If you are supposed to be here, I have on camera them buzzing me in. I didn't even open the door. Okay, that's fine. >> They buzzed me in, so I'm allowed to be here. I pushed the button on camera, and they buzzed me in. Locked or not, they allowed me in the building. >> you also need to have an appointment. That's not true. Okay. You need to sign in. That's not true, either. I suggest you look up 6020 ML and I because it says clearly in there, and I'm just going to help you out real quick. >> care. You can't violate my rights, my constitutional rights for trespass. >> Yeah, if you're going to arrest me, I'll leave, but where's your sergeant? Let's get your sergeant out here. >> I will. I need to get your handcuffs For what? My safety. I just said you can't put me in What am I being detained for? What law did I break right now? I just said I'll leave, but let's get your sergeant. Handcuff for officer safety without any crime stated. The camera seized. Citizen's rights pushed to the breaking point. So first off, look at 602. 602 clearly says you can't use penal code 602 to violate somebody's constitutional rights. It's written into 602. And it's written into the only subsection that would apply right here. They allowed me in and I have every right to request public records like I have. So you, sir, are a And you need to learn how to do your job cuz you're an idiot. You just violated my rights. And you touched me. Did I touch you? Did I touch I just told you. You violated my rights and you touched me. No. He didn't violate my rights. He didn't touch me. But you did. Right? For what law? For what law? For what law? No, no, no. You have to detain me you can detain me in cuffs for your safety, but you have to have reasonable suspicion of a crime. Look at this dude. Look at this dude violating the [ __ ] out of my rights. I'm not going to grab I'll hold it. I can't detain me unless you have reasonable suspicion of a crime. I left out of the office. Where's the what crime? For what crime? For what crime? For what crime, sir? Oh, here. For well, hold on. Let me Let me let my wrist go and get it off my wrist. What do you think I'm going to hurt you? I'm not Now Now I'm being detained right now even though there's no crime. This guy doesn't understand how RAS works. You can't detain somebody for just for your safety just cuz you're talking to him. You have to have a reasonable suspicion of a crime. And even if I stayed in there and I could have easily let this young officer arrest me and then sue them later, but I choose not to do that. A sergeant appeared scrutinizing every detail. The buzz in the public access area, the rules, the balance of power suddenly shifted. Go right back in there. As As long as this As long as this Oh, so now they locked the door. It was not locked because after they I didn't try to handle What you should have asked him is do any members of the public come in here at any time? Right? Because then if Well, then it's open to the public, right? He said this is a public area and that office that people come and have meetings in is a public area as well. Well, there's a office where people do but that is a open public office. I also asked for public records. I can be there to ask for public records. Appointment, non-appointment doesn't matter. I can go out I don't need an appointment to go ask for public records. Well, they have to take my public records request. So I'm going to go back in there and make them take my public records request. But now now essentially they locked the door. Right? And it's not a locked office. I wish you would have. Uh cuz it's a fat lawsuit. What he didn't tell you is when he came out and said they want you trespassing you got to leave and you got to He thinks that I have to sign in to be in there. Next thing he said he said, "Well, you you're trespassing in here and they want you to leave." And I tried to tell him, "Hey, this is open. They buzzed me." I said, "Well, if you're going to arrest me I'll leave, but I want your sergeant." And he said, "Okay, then get step out." And I'm like, "Get your sergeant." I told him, "What crime?" Well, officer safety. This guy's a [ __ ] idiot. He doesn't need that badge and gun. He's a disgrace to it. That's my opinion. "No, go away." In response to a CPRA records request, a brief remark that sparked a wave of backlash and legal consequences. Police and government employees could face administrative complaints and civil lawsuits for violating recording rights, public records access rights, and unlawful detention. [Music] Did you just say "No, go away"? I can't hear you. I can hear inside saying "Yes, I did." That's not the way this works. You guys have to file public records. This is this idiot lady. It's this idiot lady again. Uh she "No, go away" is what she tells me. So they they clearly didn't learn from yesterday. Clearly did not learn from yesterday. And her response is "No, go away." What they don't understand is this is a law and I have a right to file public records. I'm not asking for a favor and I'm not asking their opinion. I need to file public records. So I mean these are public servants. This is the way they talk to us. "No, go away." Excuse me. I need records. This is the crazy part is that the idiots, you know, um and and I I can almost guarantee the door is probably unlocked. We could even check it. Look. Is it unlocked? Watch when the video comes out. Uh you know, and and shows what they did and how they acted and how [ __ ] punk Flores acted and all that stuff. She's right there. When power goes unchecked, freedom can be erased in an instant. Not only violating civil rights, but also eroding trust in justice and the moral fabric of society. Hey everyone, what do you think about this situation?

[Applause] It seemed like a normal evening until the door was kicked open and the whole family was thrown into an inexplicable nightmare. [Applause] He was still not awake, not yet understanding what happened. He was handcuffed calling for help in despair and then everything happened so fast. [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Okay. I don't understand. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, Y'ALL. Ain't nobody in here, sir. We don't know what's going on. A man called for help surrounded by police continuously screaming in pain, but no one responded and when they realized it was too late. Is this a bell that human life is too fragile? A search warrant was issued, but who was the target? A question that no no could answer until the consequences were irreversible. Who will be responsible for these consequences? The camera captured it all. A child's cries, a family's panic, and the cold, emotionless silence from the badge bearers. The search warrant was not explained in detail, and no clear evidence was presented during the arrest. The man died after being restrained, presumably due to lack of timely medical care. The incident led to serious consequences, raising questions about human rights violations and law enforcement failures. Hey guys, what do you think about this situation?
