I'm offic number one 123 >> Mullen. >> Yep. >> Awesome. You with uh the township. >> Cool, man. All right. Came back. Cam back. >> Freedom of press in this country. >> We have freedom of press in this country, man. >> No ID. The signs are all over that say you need to have ID in order to come in the building, get the license, this thing. >> Just one camera, but enough to cause chaos among the police force and military base guards. Hey, what did you think they were going to do, bud? Kick rocks, buddy. Bye. >> A seemingly ordinary encounter and an unexpected ending will make you rethink power and law. >> Yeah. Why are you following me? >> I'm allowed to walk out here. >> I'm just asking you. >> The cameras rolled and minutes later, it was at the center of a bitter confrontation between civil rights and power and uniform. As soon as they arrived at the base gate, a staff and police rushed in demanding the identity of the cameraman. But after just one cold response, the whole situation suddenly took an unexpected turn. >> Are you photographing? >> That is none of your business. The way you came at me asking me who I am, it's none of your business, man. Who are you? >> Do you work here? >> I do. >> Okay. What's your name? >> Never mind. >> Oh, exactly my point on why I wouldn't give you my name either. Hey, kick rocks, dude. Don't come over here asking me and demanding my information, then you won't give me your own. >> What the is that? >> That is a called a badge. Have you read it? Yeah, it says shiny badges don't grant extra rights, dude. Goodbye. [Applause] Cam back. Cam back. I uh literally just got here 3 minutes ago and uh this guy came over here and demanding who I am and in return they never give their information. So why would I? That's why on top of my Fourth Amendment, I don't give that information cuz I know damn well they usually typically don't. Without even setting foot on the base, the police's firm orders sounded as if they had already been charged with a crime. A few seconds later, a cold retort turned the situation around. >> Yeah. Why are you following me? >> I'm allowed to walk out here. >> I'm just asking you. What's your name and badge number again? >> Ken. I'm officer Mullen. Badge number 123. >> Mullen. >> Yep. >> Awesome. You with uh the township. >> Cool, man. All right. >> Any chance you want to give me your name? Yeah, it's right here. >> Okay. Then I >> I don't need to listen to you, man. Go talk to the party and go about your day. >> Okay. Well, I can stand here and talk. >> Yeah, you can. But I'm not going to listen to you. >> You don't have to. >> I know. >> Just letting the whole world know I don't mind what you're doing out here as long as you actually step on the Navy property. >> Like you >> I'm allowed on the Navy property. >> Oh, you are? You have jurisdiction here, huh? >> Get the off the property. >> I don't have >> Yeah, you should probably get off the property, buddy. Yeah. >> You have no jurisdiction on that property? No. >> Okay. >> You don't have mutual aid. >> That's fine. They do have preparatory jurisdiction here. >> You don't? >> I do. >> No, you don't. I don't think I don't believe you do. >> As long as you stay on the public property over there, feel free. >> As long as you don't kick your dog and beat your wife, I'm okay with that, too. >> I couldn't hear you. >> As long as you don't kick your dog and beat your dog beat your wife. Make sure when you cross the street, you look both ways, right? Piss in the toilet, not on the floor. >> Don't eat yellow snow. Like I said, long as you don't go in the Navy, >> like I said, don't eat yellow snow. Don't kick a dog. Don't beat your wife. >> Okay. >> All right. Don't, you know, use a crosswalk. Look both ways. >> You want to hold my hand, buddy? >> Are you my dad? >> I don't think so. >> All right. So, stop telling me what to do. I'm a grown man, dude. >> I just know what to do. >> Yeah, you do. You telling me not to go on property that is private? >> Correct. >> It's It's actually not private. It's public, but there's no public access. Okay. Have they said I stepped on the property? >> Nope. Then why the are you telling me not to? >> I'm just advising you not. >> I don't need to be advised. Why do you feel the need to be advising me to not go on property I'm not allowed to be on when I haven't even been on it? >> The police made the request to search right in the middle of the street as if a crime had just occurred. The citizen's blunt response made the whole situation more tense than ever. >> Consent to a search? >> No. >> Why not? Do you have anything illegal on you? >> No. >> Do you have any other weapons or >> phones? burn or No, I just want to scan you for uh citizen safety. That's all. >> Is that all right? >> It is not. >> Watch out for those acorns, man. They're killer, dude. >> I appreciate >> Yeah. I don't want to get shot, you know. >> Hey, you have a blessed morning. All right. >> Hey, go talk to him, dude. Go talk to him. >> Why? >> Because he's the one who called you. I don't need to be told that I can't do what I'm doing. He does. >> I didn't say you can't do what? >> He did. So go tell them I can go do your job. Came back. Came back. Sir. Hey. What did you think they were going to do, bud? Kick rocks, buddy. Bye. All right. You got another PDF. Hey, you got backup coming. You got backup. >> I don't want backup. >> I know you don't. >> Patrol cars lined up. Support forces appeared in a big way as if preparing for a major arrest. However, just a few minutes later, the entire team quietly withdrew. >> What are they going to go hide in the bushes over there? Yeah, they're hiding behind that. That's all right. I'll wait them out. I usually do. Jeez. Another one, huh? Hello. Ah, heat. [Music] I think uh he went to go join the power law. >> How you doing? >> Good. How are you? >> Good. Are you leaving? >> I can't hear you. >> Are you leaving? >> Leaving where >> are you leaving here? >> Here? >> Yes. Here. >> Not here. >> You're not here? >> No. Do you know who you are? >> No. >> Do you want me to call mental health for you? >> Yeah. Would you? >> Yeah, I could. What's your name? >> What's your name? >> I'll call him right now. >> What a goofball. 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. The case ended without an arrest warrant, but the baseless warrant, illegal search request, and emotional pressure showed abuse of power and lack of training. Up next, a seemingly innocuous request has sparked a heated debate about civil rights and constitutional freedoms. >> Do you think that your behavior of keeping a citizen out of a building is going to be looked upon in a positive way? >> You can take a picture of that sign. It says, "Please have a picture ID ready." >> You're enforcing an unconstitutional sign. rules and regulations, signs, urgent orders. But when residents asked for legal evidence, the entire building fell into an unprecedented dilemma. >> Falling away, please. You're not allowed to video. >> I'm sorry. >> Please. >> Why? Why can't >> you nicer? Because there's a sign posted on us. So, I bet you can't do that in here. >> Why can't I record in here? >> Who are you here to see? The county clerk. >> I'm here to see the county clerk. I have business to conduct. I have to do a public records request. >> Okay. I could I don't Okay, that's what I'm trying to do. >> Here to see anyone to >> I'm just here to see the county clerk to do a p open records request. It's a law. It's called Freedom of Information Act. >> Absolutely. >> As a member of the public, I'm coming in here. I don't have an ID. >> Yep. So, yeah. Okay. So, I'm going to um escort you cuz you have no ID on you. >> Sure. You could do whatever you'd like. You >> have an ID on you? >> No. >> So, these are government buildings moving forward. >> Yeah. >> You need ID to get in government buildings? Well, I don't need an ID to pay for this government building, >> sir. >> Right. >> As an officer, I can deny you to come into our government. >> That would be a very big mistake, though. That would be a big mistake on your part. >> I'm telling you, >> I have nothing on you. Now, >> I just want to make sure I get your name. >> Officer Heman. >> Officer Heman. >> So, now if you fall down and get hurt and we have to put you in back of an ambulance, we don't know who you are. Nobody knows who you are. So, that's for your safety. No, >> but let's get off of that. >> It's not It's not for your It's not for my safety at all. >> So, what are we going to do here? >> My name is not going to change me being me being hurt. >> Do you have anything on you? >> I have >> that you can show us your name. No. >> So, we can let you in. >> I don't have anything with my name. I don't have I want >> Please just stay here. >> Yeah, no problem. No problem. Ridiculous. Police were there to enforce a controversial policy, but when citizens openly demanded to see if it was constitutional, all eyes turned to law enforcement. >> What's going on? >> Can I just get your name and badge? >> My name and badge. >> Yeah. Officer. >> Um, you have to be outside though cuz there is that's another rule. You cannot video or do anything. And it's not >> We have We have freedom of press in this country. >> We have freedom of press in this country, man. >> No ID. The signs are all over that say you need to have ID in order to come in the building. You need a license, this thing. And that's that's what it is. >> Hey sir, can I just get your name and badge number two? >> Ramos 4543. >> Thank you, sir. >> What are you here for today? >> I'm here to see the county clerk and because I don't have because I don't have ID and I won't show ID. They're denying me public services. >> Okay. >> And at that point, I feel like my my constitutional rights are being violated by the public safety here. I'm trying to This is a public building. There shouldn't be any special conditions on on entering a public building. If if they want me to go through the mag, that's fine for security purposes, but my ID doesn't it doesn't help anything. And they're not showing me any type of policy that would state that I need ID to enter in a building cuz right now they're preventing me from from conducting business. I'm trying to get services and open records request to be specific from the county clerk here. >> Okay. >> And by them denying me access to the building. No, no. They just need um >> It's ridiculous. You need to show ID, but you don't need ID to vote. >> You can even manually. >> I could just tell you my name. I could just tell you. >> And it's a procedure. It's been a procedure. >> It's an unconstitutional procedure, ma'am. >> And there are signs are all over that. >> It's an just because ma'am, just just because it's been a policy for a long time, that means nobody's come here to challenge that policy. And that's what I'm doing here today. That's exactly what I'm doing here. I'm challenging that policy because it's unconstitutional. That's what it is. No one's ever challenged it before, but I know it's unconstitutional. >> No types of uh formal ID on you. >> No, >> nothing at all. >> No. >> You just have to leave. >> And I know you're trying to set up an appointment. You know, this >> I'm not trying to set up an appointment. I'm trying to conduct business. >> Okay. >> So, are you telling me that >> you don't have your ID with you? >> I don't need I I shouldn't I don't need an ID. >> There's a whole policy that they got going on. So, >> they're not even showing me that policy. They're not showing me the policy. The police threatened to arrest, but when the citizen asked for legal documents, all the police had was a sign hanging on the wall. >> Yes. >> Um, all right. So, again, >> are you are you are you ordering me to leave the building, sir? Under threat of under threat of arrest, sir? >> No. If they want if they if you and they got to have you on the trespass form, you be getting arrested for trespass. >> Okay. So, are you going to give me a trespass? Am I being trespassed in the building? >> We got a trespass form. You have to sign. That's it. If you have Okay, great. I'll do that then. No problem. So, we we'll go ahead and do that route. Big mistake. You guys are opening yourself up to civil litigation here. Big mistake. But I'll take that trespass form. No problem. >> Big big mistake you guys are making here. No idea. Unconstitutional. You guys swore an oath to the Constitution. Do you think Do you think that your behavior of keeping a citizen out of a building is going to be looked upon in a positive way? >> You can a picture of that sign. says at least have a picture ID right here. >> You're enforcing an unconstitutional sign. >> You're enforcing an unconstitutional sign. The public's not going to look too uh favorably on >> that's >> on on on your actions here today, ma'am. And then you call the police. You call the police to enforce your policy. These are law enforcement officers. >> They're not policy enforcement officers. Ma'am, >> it's it's not our policy. It's the county's policy. So, they're going to take it up to somebody else. But why would you call the police and now under threat of arrest I have to leave a public building that I help pay for? You call the police to enforce a policy. That's what you did. Even though they're law enforcement, not policy enforcement. Ridiculous. After a tense standoff, residents vowed to take the case to court. Could this be the turning point that forces the government to change? The case opens up the possibility of an investigation into the constitutionality of the policy of requiring ID in public buildings. >> All right, guys. So, we're just getting out of the county building here in Minnola, New York, the Nassau County building. Wow. So, I've never had an audit go quite like that where I was trespassed from a building, let back in a building. Um, didn't have to show my ID to get in the building, but the policy is still there and it exists. You can see the sign right here. Please have picture ID ready to show. So, we have all the officers leaving. Bunch of officers came and responded. Um, all of them were very professional and courteous except for officer check your camera. But the sergeant was good, very respectable man. Honored his oath, respected me exercising my constitutional rights here. Definitely a whirlwind of an audit. We got to get this uh sign taken down over here. Please have picture ID ready to show. You shouldn't need to show government ID to enter in a public building for public services. completely ridiculous. >> We've been here for a while, though. We'll reach out to the county attorney. You know, we the people, we got to stick together. We can affect change little by little. If you've been watching my channel for a while now, there's a lot of little victories that we've had together as a community, as we the people. And uh feeling I have a feeling that this one is going to be our next victory. We're going to get this sign taken down. When power is given without oversight, the line between protecting security and violating civil rights becomes thinner than ever. Hey everyone, what do you think about this situation?

Watch this." What caused the city's police force to explode right in front of the prison gate? >> I mean, this is beyond my control. I don't have anything, so don't yell at me. [Music] >> I try to get through and they immediately halfway open and shut it on me. >> While being refused entry, one officer said in a stunned voice, "I'm about to have a stroke because of the injustice. Was this the beginning of an uncontrollable confrontation?" >> "Hey, Snipes, they're still denying us." >> God bless America. They won't let us in. John, let me >> Ain't that right? >> No, I'm going to file I'm going to file a complaint. A legitimate complaint. >> Mean go at home. >> Lieutenant about to get complaint 100%. >> That is the most unprofessional thing I've ever seen in my life. >> Hey, what do you think? my leg. Okay. >> So, wait a minute. >> Don't yell. Don't start yelling. >> Hey, come on. Come on. Come on. >> All right. I'm going to file a complaint. >> Good. How are you? Tell >> the >> Y'all have directives. I have directives. Sheriff says ain't nobody coming in. Only five at a time. SO >> I mean, this is beyond my control. I don't have Don't yell at me. >> All right. Soon as that last one gets cleared. >> Yeah. Unless another unit shows up. This smell like you said >> cuz I'm about to have I'm about to have a stroke. >> This is a failure of justice >> and the jail does not like us. So we have five people sitting here outside. >> A man shouts, "I will not be disarmed at the prison gates. What is really going on behind closed iron doors?" and he runs the jail. So >> goddamn supervisor can >> I get I get so >> All right. So So I got a call to go to. I can't go to the car cuz y'all want to play stupid ass childish game. I got nothing to do with that. It ain't my goddamn car. It's between the sheriff and the guy that works over there. It ain't got nothing to do with me. >> How you going to move it? Move it. >> Move the goddamn car, man. >> Move the car. Wow. >> Huh? >> You're acting like a bunch of goddamn kids, man. >> Uh, I'm going to go get my stuff because this is getting stupid. I'm not going to be dearmed outside of the jail. >> Your goddamn car so I can get out. They want to play games. Y'all ain't letting them in. So, they don't want to let me out. I hope I don't see you getting your ass whipped on street cuz I'm going to drive the by and you can tell your goddamn sweet. I don't see you in a car cuz I got a goddamn car. You don't want to move the goddamn car. >> Huh? Don't stop for me. Don't stop for me. >> This is so stupid. >> Back at us so we don't have to bring his hand. >> Listen, man. I'm only doing what my supervisor told me. I >> No one was fighting, but everyone was ready to explode. When the police chief spoke, the fight between law enforcement forces was no longer an internal affair. >> We got to stop playing these. >> This is This is [ __ ] >> Yes. >> Don't get Hey, he's with the chief. Sergeant Sergeant with the chief. He's with the chief. >> Sorry. >> Hey, fair base. No, you stay right there, man. >> Hey. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Now you're sergeant over here. Tell him not to move. There is Oh. [Applause] said he's not moving. We got to get somebody over here. We got to put thisbody. [Music] [Applause] >> This ain't respectful. >> I got locked in. What I got to do with this [ __ ] I don't want to fight. Everybody in. Everybody in. >> And I hear through the there's a deputy sentence behind the radio that female officer is trying to get get into the door. Do not let her in that door. Do not let any officer through that door >> from PD >> from from the jailer. The jailer screamed at us to move our vehicles. They won't even let any of our guys in. They won't book any of our guys. The arrest took place quietly amid chaos. A man was charged with a series of crimes. But what shocked viewers the most was how it was all handled. >> This is as bad as it can get. >> Like we can't principal someone's crime, man. >> Yeah. This is as bad as it's pretty bad cuz >> this guy's got a call. But then my sergeants telling me not to smoke, >> right? I have to >> What about arrested all them for not doing their job? >> All right. >> This is crazy. >> Embarrassing. >> Yeah. For the city, right? >> I really wish this is not my car right there, dude. He's in there, dude. I I really not wanting to to be a part of a to get charged with a crime, dude. For a stand, dude. >> Let her go home. Write me a damn court. They didn't let me go to court. >> All CPD prisoners at the jail. >> Okay. >> This is sad, man. They doing this [ __ ] >> Watch your legs. Okay. >> He uh threatened to arrest me and Fairbags for obstruction >> and then lockard >> and also and also said he was going to ram the car. So, >> Oh, yeah. >> So, I mean, >> he's going to pass right by us if he ever sees us getting our ass beat. A CPD officer threatened to arrest someone for obstructing official duty, even threatening to ram his car into the person if they were not let in. These actions show signs of abuse of power and intimidation that went beyond the limits of what is acceptable. The relationship between CPD and the prison has been severely disrupted, affecting the ability to coordinate official duties. [Music]
