legally trespassed. There are signs posted there and then >> I wasn't trespassing outside. >> We're filming us. You're I'm leaving. >> I'm leaving. >> I appreciate y'all's professionalism today, man. >> Yes, sir. >> You know, this is >> a violent rescue turns into a tense confrontation with the person holding the camera. >> Couldn't just keep his mouth shut and be the hero that protected a woman from a violent man. signs. >> So if you failed to provide it, >> bet you he went in there and solicitated a trespass. >> When the police don't want you on camera, they'll find a way to make you disappear. A serious assault case was just responded to by Mesa police. But just minutes later, the incident took an unexpected turn. >> He has to be a bully. >> And they're just being ridiculous. So >> what are you doing? >> I need your name. Your true full name. And if I don't give it to you, then what? >> You'll be arrested. >> Just when it seemed like it was all over, an officer turned his attention to someone who was legally filming outside the scene. >> Okay. >> Mind your business. >> Immediately, he starts trying to tell me that he's going to trespass me from the car wash. He couldn't just keep his mouth shut and be the hero that protected a woman from a violent man. >> He has to be a bully. >> What are you doing? >> Go talk to me if he wants to. >> Are you serious? What's your name? >> Officer Master >> Mesa Police Department are some of the most petty child cops I have ever seen. If you go back and watch the video, you'll see that I never actually even set foot on the car wash property until he goes to ask, "Hey, man. >> I'm I'm going to wash my car." >> Yeah. If he doesn't have He's not washing his car, >> man. Okay. So, I can wash my car over here. You bullied him into doing that. >> I work with them every single day. >> Can I wash my car over here, please, man? Man, I mean, he's just bullying me and you know it. Can I please just wash my van? >> It's up to you. It's your property. It's >> his property. >> Yeah. >> This is ridiculous, man. >> I'm asking you one more time. Are you refusing to provide >> No, I'm I'm No, I'm calling my lawyer. >> I need your name. Your true full name. >> And if I don't give it to you, then what? >> You'll be arrested. >> Okay. >> A simple question about the law turned into a threat of immediate arrest. Was this an abuse of power? >> Yeah. >> You don't need to run your mouth. You You already made your threat. 13-2412 requires you to provide your true full name when lawfully detained. >> Okay. >> You legally trespass. >> I wasn't trespassing. I was there for business and you know it. >> No, you weren't. >> You were filming us. >> You're [ __ ] >> So, if you failed to provide it, >> you ready? >> What's that? >> What's your name? >> First letter of my first name is J. >> Second letter of my first name is A. >> Betsy.

I've got several times. >> What number letter are we on? >> So that's three letters. So the fourth letter is going to be >> I'm sorry. The fourth letter is going to be E. >> That's a [ __ ] tyrant. >> And then uh what are we on the fifth letter now? >> You gave me the fifth letter. Fifth letter be E. A M M E. >> Oh, there's just one M. Sorry about that. >> Let's see. What are we on? Five. No. >> Okay. Okay. So, the fifth letter is going to be S. So, what do you got now? >> James. >> James. >> Yes. Your last name. >> You need a last name. Do you need a middle name or >> true full name? >> Okay. Well, I mean, I'm not a lawyer, so can you expl your your full given name? Yes. >> Okay. So, I should give you a middle name. >> Yes. True full name. >> Like I said, I'm not a lawyer. I guess you are, though. So, >> I am not a lawyer. I'm law. >> Oh, you're not? Okay. So, I need a middle name for you. >> Fine. I I'll work sufficiently with >> Well, I mean, I don't want to break the law. Are you sure? I mean, if if I need to give a middle name, I'll just give a middle name. >> Please provide me with your last name. >> I just want to confirm you don't want my middle name. So I don't get in trouble for false ID. Is that correct? You don't want my middle name? >> No, you're fine. >> Okay. >> So the uh the first letter of my last name is S. >> Even when the commander appeared, the promise to resolve the complaint carried an unpredictable subtext. >> The property would be arrested. You understand? >> Okay. And until I get a a written notice from them that you're a piece of [ __ ] and I can come on the property. Is that right? >> Between you and the manager, it's civil matter. You >> have any other question? >> It is a civil matter, isn't it? It sure is. And and uh so you walked up there because I was actually standing right here on the evening in the rocks, right? >> This is why trash like you. >> This is why trash like you gets gets hurt. >> Public. >> It's public. You're an idiot. >> Onto the property. >> Yeah, I did follow you over there. What's that? >> What were you doing there? >> Uh going to follow you. Okay. >> And ask him if I could wash my car. >> Tell me what happened. What's your name again? >> Officer. >> Officer Shores, please, please call the Mesa Police Department right now. Officer Shores. See, I'm standing right here on the >> on the public easement. >> You guys are ridiculous. Relax, man. >> I'm trying to be cool. >> Be cool with me then. >> We're trying to We're dealing with a guy over here. >> I get it. And And you're And he's a real And I know what he did, too. Cuz I know what he did. >> Respect goes both ways. Just be cool with me. >> Yeah, but he went and and asked them to trespass me while I was standing here recording. Man, >> again, I got no problem with what you're doing over here. He's a coward. I get it, man. I got no problem with that. But he went >> saying, "Let's fire guys deal with the thing over there." >> I get that. But you saw what he just did here, >> man. Come on. Can we go undo that? That's ridiculous, dude. >> Are you his supervisor? >> I am. >> Then this is the guy you need to put the complaint in with, please. >> Let's do it. Are we in the middle of an investigation or >> Yeah, I'm I'm investigating. >> All right. Why don't you guys wait right here? >> We will. >> Let us deal with this gentleman first. >> And as the cameras continued to record, the real reason behind the police's decision gradually emerged. But not everyone was ready to hear it. >> I guarantee you the city's not so >> watering these trees and trimming these bushes. >> Let me explain something. >> Trying to We're just trying to make sense out of everything. >> I get so I I lived in Texas for a while and we had a sidewalk that uh and we had the gore area. >> My property line went all the way to the curb, >> but I had zero right to trespass people from the sidewalk or the gore area. >> Okay. >> Even though I took care of the >> city is not taking care of I get that. And that's what I'm telling you is that I >> property owners taking care of >> that's what I'm telling you is that I was required to take care of public property but and and I still had to allow people access to it. >> You know what I'm saying? Jool >> is that is a Texas ordinance. >> Well, it doesn't public property is public property. >> Okay. >> Whatever they define private property or public property differs. >> Well, as far as we can pull up maps and grids and find out if you need to do that. We're not going to try to play the silly game. >> Now, when a person is asking >> the property's business, they have no trespassing signs over the property >> and and so he wants me trespass still. Is that right? >> He's saying that >> so he doesn't want my business. >> He doesn't want your business. >> Okay. What's the name of the business? Car wash >> in in Mesa, Arizona on Country Club. Okay. >> Listen, I'm going to end it here. >> So, just so we're clear, as far as the business is concerned, their property line stops at the sidewalks. But you're going to be you're going to do the right thing and and realize that the city of Mesa literally has their property. >> Well, I still need to do the official complaint. >> I know. Well, we're going to take I'm not going to take it right in that pocket right there. >> I'm not going to take it right out here on the side. We're dealing with a whole bunch of stuff. >> Well, yeah, you can deal with this. You want to go over here with just me alone. >> Record it. I'm going to >> No, we're going to record it. >> I'm in the middle of a call. >> We're not going to record >> right now. I'm not going to stop what I'm doing. >> Oh, Sarge. Come on. You were doing >> Why don't you guys give me a card? I might see you while I'm out here. So, you're not going to take my complaint right here. >> James and his crew criticized the police for using their power to silence independent media. They pointed out the contradiction. The police easily accepted complaints from ordinary people, but avoided complaints against their colleagues. The incident showed signs of abuse of power, using trespass as a tool to suppress the cameramen, violating their constitutional rights. Next, right on a public road, a prison officer walks up and announces a law no one has ever heard of. A >> public road to come and take pictures, sir. >> I got all the pictures I need right now. >> And why are you still here? >> How you doing today? >> He said he was done shooting but decided to stay just to prove a point to everyone. >> Okay. What are you taking pictures up here of the unit? They're not allowed that. >> Huh? >> You're not allowed to come up here and take pictures of a unit like that. Walking up there. What are you doing? >> I'm a journalist gathering content. >> Okay. You need to come up. You can't come up here and take pictures. They don't allow. >> Who doesn't allow? >> TC doesn't. >> Yeah. >> Yes, they don't. >> This is a public road. >> You're not allowed to come in and take pictures. >> Disagree. There's reasons for that. >> I disagree. >> I'm going to argue with you. >> Okay. I'm not going to argue with you either. You pulled up. You confronted me. >> Yeah, cuz I was told come and see what you're doing. >> Okay. Well, have a great day. I got all the pictures I need right now. >> Then why are you still here? Me? >> Yeah, cuz I was told to come in there and see what you're doing. >> Okay. Well, have a great day. I think I'll stay here and take some more pictures. >> They just left here. This lady thinks she can come out here and boss me around, guys. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to stay here and take some more pictures. The moment the police car followed closely, meter by meter, and the escape plan was urgently deployed. >> Hey, I don't know how to get out of here. Are you in that visitor center? >> I'm parked. >> Okay. Pull out of that visitor center, take a left, go up to the tea in the road, and take a right and find some place to park down there in town. >> Here. >> What? >> Here. Both a pedestrian also. >> Are they right by you? >> Hold on. I think they're coming in. They're coming in. I'm going to take off. >> All right. Seat belts, blinkers, watch your speed. >> I am, but they're behind me. >> I see them right behind you. Pull into uh the next place you can pull into a gas station. Pull into a business, though. >> Okay. Well, guys, they found Buck G, so they're going to be able to identify me with my vehicle. So, I mean, that ain't no big deal. Of course, you know, I don't have any I don't have any warrants or anything. So, all right, stand by for more action, guys. >> A seemingly normal request for documents suddenly turned into a heated confrontation between citizens and police. How you doing? How you doing? I'm going to need to see your driver's license. You going to do that? If you going to get my information public, my information is not for public. Let me see your driver's license. I didn't want to control. Go ahead. Keep on going. >> Where you going? >> Don't touch me. >> I touched you. >> Don't touch me. >> Where you did? >> Go ahead. Keep on going. >> Where you going? >> Don't touch me. >> I touch you on central control. >> Control behind. >> Yeah, buds. I have a civilian out here who's being belligerent. I need the sheriff's department to meet. Okay. >> How you doing today? You doing all right? >> You're not going to be in my [ __ ] park. You >> obviously don't know the law. You obviously don't know the law. Hey, G. Where you going? All of a sudden, you're a bad guy. >> How you doing today? All right. You guys see this clown? Look at this clown, guys. >> When the senior officer appeared, things seemed to cool down, but questions about power and law remained open. >> He got a communication with somebody else. I want to make sure he's off with my mom. >> Well, right here is not not >> Are you okay? >> Just learned the law, didn't you? When these guys leave, I'll leave, boss. There you go. >> These guys are harassing me, man. I ain't harassing. I understand that. But now >> they're interfering with my First Amendment right. I'm on a public road, man. Man, these guys approach me. Stand by. I'm back. >> I was Look how far away I am, man. Look how far away I am. I'm I'm walking this way. Hold on. Hold on. >> I have any calls for the car. >> I mean, I'm leaving. >> I'm leaving. >> So, just you're fine. >> You've been racing my do stand over there. >> I was leaving, boss. >> Okay. I mean, that that's fine. >> Do you have a card? >> Yeah. Yeah, I do. >> I appreciate y'all's professionalism today, man. >> Yes, sir. >> You know, this is >> Hey, man. You guys be safe. >> All right. So just I mean I I know what you're >> I'm minding my own business. These guys confronted me, you know. >> No, I understand. I understand. But but you you have to understand too everything you know racist, >> you know. And it was a pass up until these guys, >> you know, confronted me. So all right, boss. >> Have a good one, man. >> 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. A more senior officer appeared, maintaining a professional demeanor, asking him to avoid initiating conflict and to continue his work peacefully. He agreed to leave when the prison staff were no longer there, but claimed he had been harassed first. The citizen left, thanking some of the officers for their professionalism, but still criticizing the initial behavior as an abuse of power and unlawful interference. Next, the most powerful man in the judiciary stands lost in the middle of the street, mumbling vague answers, not knowing where he is. Where is your car? >> Uh, you know where? >> Yes, it's it's in there. And you don't know. Do you know anybody in this area? >> No. >> No. You were just You don't know how you got here or >> Mr. Brian? Unfortunately, today >> based on what we've seen. >> Watch your head. Watch your head. Her vehicle is >> in front of the police. He insisted that he was completely fine, but then he lost track of where he was, thinking a shuttered business was Speedway. >> Sir, are you okay? Are you okay, sir? >> Okay. Were you involved in an accident, sir? >> No. Okay. Are you sure? >> Are you okay, sir? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Do you know where you're at? >> I'm sorry. >> Speedway. >> The speedway. Okay. Are you sure you're okay, sir? Mr. O'Brien, uh, we found your truck. Okay. There's camera footage saying it hit a wall. Are you sure you're okay? Were you involved in an accident? >> No. >> No. Mr. O'Brien, can you have my uh supervisor come down and speak with you? Okay. All right, sir. I'm going to give him a call. so I don't have to put it over the radio. Okay. Hey sir, it's me. Yeah, we're here next to the Dairy Queen. Um, do you want to come over? Okay. Um, but I Okay. All right. Well, yeah, he's he's here and I'll just let PDA here. Okay. Are you headed to your house, sir? >> Yeah. >> Huh? See where you were? Okay. I'll just wait for uh Sergeant Hardy to get here. >> Sorry. We'll just wait for Sergeant Hardy to get here. Okay. >> The smell of alcohol was strong. Memory was hazy. Video evidence was clear. But instead of acting like any other citizen, the police chose to handle it very cautiously. >> Obviously, his truck is on scene. Um hit a car. They have ring camera footage. They described him to a tea, red and black, blue flannel shirt, brown flip flops, brown shorts. Can I smell alcohol in it? He seems kind of disoriented. So, >> well, so with all that being said, I think we'd like to conduct a DWI investigation. Okay. >> Do you want to do it here or do you want to I'm trying to be as respectful as I can. >> Let's just do it like we would any other investigation. Let's do it. >> All right. Let's do fields first. >> Okay. I'll be right in front, sir. We'll just come right in front. So, Mr. O'Brien, do you have a driver's license? Um, it is valid, right? Your license. Okay. Okay. So, Mr. O'Brien, um, obviously you know what we're doing. I can smell alcohol on you. I'm getting indicators that you're the influence of alcohol. How much have you had to drink today? You don't know. Like, if you had to guess, one or two. Okay. Obviously, you were in a car accident, right? Um, do you think it was safe for you to be driving? And and that's that's what I would like to determine. Are you willing to do a standard field sobriety test? I'd like to, >> huh? Okay. I don't have a problem with that. Is that okay, sir? He said he'd rather do them by his car. Okay. Uh, you don't have any weapons on you, do you, sir? Okay. Just to check for weapons. That's all that is. Okay. If you want to turn around. Okay. You want to have a seat? >> And I'll just >> buckle you in, sir. >> When asked about the accident just a few dozen minutes ago, he calmly said, "I don't remember anything. The problem is that the camera recorded every step he took leaving the scene." >> Do you remember driving over here? >> Yeah. >> Okay. You don't remember anything at all? What's the last thing you remember, sir? Nothing. >> Nothing. Okay. So, you told me that you had a couple of drinks. Okay. Where were you drinking at? >> Uh, my house. >> At your house. Okay. How long ago was your last drink? >> This morning. >> This morning. About what time would you, if you were to guess? 8:00. Okay. Okay. Um, do you remember what you were drinking? No. Okay. Uh, do you think it was safe for you to be driving at all? Okay. Okay. And you don't know? But do you know anybody in this area? >> No. >> No. You were just You don't know how you got here or you don't remember much? All right. >> Last thing you remember is drinking at home, right? Do you know how your truck got here? >> We've asked for those two things. >> I've asked No. >> When was the last time you saw your truck >> in my front yard? >> Was this around the same time at 8? >> Okay. No, it was this morning. >> Do you recall doing that? No. You don't recall that? >> Okay. >> Um, is there any reason why they would have that on their video footage? >> He's agreed to do standard field spray tests. >> You do agree to do standardized field sobriety test. >> You don't agree to do standardized field test? If I though it is, >> right, it is your right to refuse to do so. It's just based on the circumstances. I would have to use everything based like the totality of the circumstances to make that decision to arrest or not. with that again just to ask again. Would you be able to do standardized field test? Okay. No, >> you do them. Okay. Perfect. >> The handcuffs finally appeared, but not before a series of privileges were conferred. An incident that left the community asking, "Is the law only for ordinary people?" >> Okay. All right. I I I don't >> What do you mean? Do you want a medical attention? >> No. What do you mean you don't feel good? >> I just don't feel good. >> Okay, sir. So, do we do you know anybody that would be able to come pick up the vehicle? >> Uh, no. >> Where the where would the keys be for the vehicle? >> Probably. >> Probably in it. Okay. I wasn't too sure if it was in there or not, but Mr. Brian, unfortunately, they >> based on what we've seen, you're going to be under arrest for DWI. Double lock. So, I'm getting tighter. Are you okay? You can just place the unit over here.
