OPEN that door, step out with your hands up. Open the door. A headlight goes out and an ego burns. The ending no one saw coming. That could have been a whole lot different if you had just agreed with me when I first stopped you. >> I was just kidding with you. When ego trumps legal process, a simple traffic stop turns into a controversial arrest. I need your registration and insurance now. Let me call my phone. All right. Now. A small mistake that seemed to only result in a warning, but then both sides started escalating and the next thing that exploded was not the headlight. Oh. I didn't resist. Yeah, you did. When the driver revealed that he was a member of the Cherokee Nation, it seemed like the situation would change, but the police's reaction was what stunned everyone. What can I do for you? The reason I stopped you, you got a headlight out. I need to see your license, insurance and registration. >> a what? Headlight out. Yeah, you do. No, I don't. I bet you do. My video camera will show you that you do. Damn. No, I don't. Yeah, you do. >> No, I don't. Look. Turn those back the way they were. Those are high beams. Those are his high beams? >> Yes.

Well, you still got a headlight out either way. That could have been a whole lot different if you had just agreed with me when I first stopped you. I was just kidding with you. I don't take Do I look like I'm a joker? I don't even know who you are. Well, that's that's why you would know I'm not a joker. >> That's okay. I'll call my buddy. Who's your buddy? It doesn't matter. Go ahead and let me have your license and insurance and your registration >> I'm getting it. your registration. Are you a member of the Cherokee Nation, sir? Yes, I am. >> Okay, good. Why? Because I have to send you a different court instead of our court. Okay, let me call Cole right quick. Cole Hoffstedder? >> Yes, sir. Please don't.

I don't know why you're always making this so difficult tonight. Just a signature to end the case, no one expected that to be the reason for the handcuffs. I understand. You had a headlight out. That's all it was. All right. And so you were going to give me a ticket >> For headlight out, yes, sir. instead of a warning because you thought I was being mean to you. No, I was going to give you a ticket anyway, sir. Okay. It's a cruise night. I give Anytime I stop a car on cruise night, I give it a ticket. Oh, really? Yes, sir. Okay. Every time on cruise night you pull people Well, but they're not all Indian. >> Every other time you Yeah, so anyway, so everybody gets a ticket you pull over. >> 12 citations before cruise night started. >> give me a ticket so I can go.

My My wife can take my truck home. This guy has been really obnoxious all night long. What's going on, sir? And I I told him I'd sign the damn thing. >> After I asked you to sign it the first time. Give me 1 second. I'll sign it. Too late. You're tough. Everybody I'm not tough. I'm not tough at all. I'm just doing my job, sir. Yeah, you ain't doing your job. You ain't got nothing better to do than this? No, I don't have anything better to do than this. Have a seat, please. Arrested cuz I won't sign a ticket. Yes, sir. That is the standard practice. Yeah, but I don't think it's required. The police threatened to confiscate the car while the victim's wife desperately pleaded. But the answer she received was exactly like a night out. What are you doing? You're being nasty. No, ma'am. Yes, you are. Not until he got short with me, ma'am. >> No, you were the one who was short. I mean, who was it? We don't like to We really don't like to argue here on the side of the road. Step out, please. Step out, please. I'm going to impound the vehicle. I why? Because I can. Because you just want to be because Step out. >> Step out of the car before you go to >> am I supposed to get home? Call somebody. You have a phone? Step out of the car over there. There's an officer out there on the side. Because you can. Because you can. Ma'am, do you want to take the car home? Would you like to take the pickup home? What? Would you like to take the pickup >> I don't have my driver's license. I didn't think he was going to be arrested tonight. My driver's license is at home. Okay, drive it home. Go home and get it. I don't care. I got to take him to jail. I don't got time to pull you over, ma'am. So, you're going to impound the car? Let her go with the car. Okay. I'm letting your wife take your vehicle home, sir. Oh, fairy, you'd be happy about that. So, you won't have to pay impound fee. Who hit? Sir, 10-15 one palm, one Indian male. If you would If you would check with the county see if they got room for him. When the man asked, "Is this procedure or law?" the police response revealed a controversial truth, leaving everyone with a big question mark. It's not what you got arrested for, sir. You got arrested for refusing to sign the citation. And that's a that's a that's a law? Yes, sir. The ticket is a promise to appear in court. Your sign signature is a promise to appear. When you refuse to sign it's saying you're not coming to court. Therefore, we have to arrest you to make sure you come to court. Okay. I I highly just I I I disagree. Well, that's just the rules. Is it a rule or is it a law? It's the law. It's in title 47. You can look it up. You won't be charged with failure to sign it, but in my report it'll show you the reason you went to jail is because you refused to sign the citation. And the video will show that you refused to sign the citation. I don't sign anything. Why? I mean, it's just your signature. You signed your driver's license, didn't you? Oh. I could charge you with resisting, but I'm not going to. Okay. I didn't resist. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did. Go ahead and charge me. No, you don't understand anything. I'm I'm not going to I'm not going to try to try to Look, you can throw the book at me. No, there's no book There's no book to throw at you. You had a headlight out. >> And I Now you're Now you're saying I resisted arrest. No, I said I I don't want to hear it from you. Don't worry about it. Did you get ahold of Cole? No, okay. You should have. Huh? You said you were going to call him. Well, you can call him anytime you want. He'll tell you the same thing. Treat me with a little respect, you probably wouldn't have got a citation. You probably got a warning, but that ain't what you did. You want to argue >> This is about a respect thing. If you wanted to argue about it headlight being out. You jumped out and said, "I ain't got no headlight out." >> I didn't think I did. Well, you were wrong. Forcing people out of their cars, arresting them for not signing tickets, threatening to confiscate their cars, and unprofessional statements, I have nothing better to do. All raise questions about abuse of power, lack of objectivity, and signs of violations of civil rights. Next, a teenager had not yet recovered from his first stop when, just a few minutes later, a gun was pointed straight at his head. Do I unbuckle it? Step out. Step out of the car. Keep your hands up. Hands up? In the midst of his panic, the boy heard his mother say, "Drive back to the church, and I'll wait for you there." But, the police were waiting with their guns cocked. Was this a public safety act or a lawless show of force? It's good that it's not showing that you have insurance on the vehicle. Do you have insurance? Can you show it to me? I know it's not going to be in the car. 456, 410A with the vehicle If they get stolen or not. Negative. Who do you have uh insurance through, Ms. McGee? Priority insurance? Okay, I'm showing one that shows the effective date, but it's not showing the expiration date. Let me see that piece of paper. Let me see that piece of paper right there. The the one underneath it. Hey, Ms. McGee, can you hear me? Do you have uh do you have it on your phone, by chance? I know I have it on my phone. They just mailed me a piece of paper. Okay. All right, that's fine. I haven't got the I don't have the card. I don't know if I'm confusing it or if I have it inside of my bag. >> Okay. Well, I see a effective date of March of '08. So, that typically means that you're going to have I mean it's going to have insurance. So, my next issue is is he's supposed to have a licensed adult with him until next month. Where do you live at? Okay, just make sure you get home, all right? And don't drive without another licensed adult, okay? All right, brother. I don't want you to get a ticket for no reason. All right. Y'all have a good >> Commands were shouted. Weapons were drawn and promises were made that no one would get shot, but why was it all about a teenager who's not old enough to drive? Get your hands up. Open that door, step out with your hands up. Open the door. I'm unbuckled, please. Reach out and open the door. Reach out and open the door. There you go. Step out, just keep your hands up. That's all you got to do, okay? Oh. Okay, with your right hand unbuckle the seatbelt. Unbuckle the seatbelt. Just hang on a second. Stay back over there. STAY BACK OVER THERE. I'm unbuckled, please.

It's okay, just He He pulled out in front of another officer, and when the officer went to stop him, we continued like set up over the overpass down this way to here. He wouldn't stop. That's the reason why the lights and sirens were going. Don't shoot my son. No, nobody's going to shoot anybody. Let's That's not our intentions, but like I said, we do We don't know what's going on. Yeah, we didn't know what We didn't know what was going on. >> Right. And the man told her that he didn't have to be uh shouldn't be in the car by himself. He just left that Casey. Yeah. And they told him to come straight home. Okay. So as he's coming home, something must have happened and Yeah, he told And I said, "Well, you need to come home." Okay. >> I didn't know what was going >> A white man stood up in the middle of the scene, denouncing what the town had silently endured for years. Or is that an issue? >> problem with it. Okay. >> Did I say I had a problem? >> Then you don't work there. I'm standing where I need to stand, just like you are, sir. You know? Yes, sir. I lived in this town for 8 years and I swear that everything I'm getting tired of the racism. 75% left that you pulled over for a white folks than a black person. Not just you, the whole department. I support that request. I'm a white, 57-year-old man. I got some years on you and him and her. You got to respect by earning respect. Well, that's what I'm trying to give you, sir, and you keep yelling over at me. And I know I've had I've had I've never met you before. the cat the cat department and that's part of the problem. I saw her when she made that U-turn in front of Okay, so what Why are you attacking me? I've never met you before. >> You attacked me by being on on the I asked you to get out of the roadway, sir. And that's the impediment. Well, I Sir, it's it's the it's it's the law. Isn't that correct? >> if it's a crime scene. Put out state. Well, no, it's a it's a law about blocking the road. I can get on that side of the tape. Yeah, I can. That's public. And if Sergeant or you want to arrest me, go ahead. Police crossed the yellow tape and crossed the line. As the police began to shift the blame back to the mother who had called them for help, the only question left was who was breaking the law here. I had heard you guys lights on them and he started getting into a frantic. And so I don't >> Okay. He's by himself. I get it. So can I ask you to do something next time? If you're so that concerned about it, three-way call 911 if you feel like it's going to be a bad situation. Okay? Let them know what your concerns are. But let's get him in the car. I did. So that we don't So why did it I really don't understand. Why? I know that mine are actually in the same car you guys are, right? I I hope it doesn't add on to that. But nobody could have known this though. Right? He did what we asked him to do. He was compliant there. Now if you're a few minutes late, he just didn't stop when I needed him Mhm. But so I need you to be able to tell him, "Hey, just stop. But we've also got other people that know and hear what's going on." You know what I'm saying? When you're you guys next time if we're getting into it with this guy It did. It did. It did. It really hasn't been even with the stop. Right? You were called out on the warning. Cuz I get it. Cuz I understand you're trying to get places and he's that close to having a emergency stop. Mhm. But I'm going to have to take In Arkansas, violations of a citizen's right to freedom of movement or to fair treatment can be prosecuted under both state and federal law. Individuals and police officers can be held civilly liable. Victims can file lawsuit in district court seeking damages or other remedies. Stopped in the middle of a dark road, the driver quickly turned the situation around with a detail that the police never expected. I I looked it up. It said it's 9:05. And also, um, you guys didn't have your lights on, either. When you were traveling towards me. The police asked to check the car and then asked a seemingly innocuous question, but it took the matter in an extremely suspicious direction. Hey, what do you want on bond for, sir? Um I'd rather not say. Well, I don't have to say. Okay, so what's part of your bond conditions? Um no, what is it? Uh I I don't I'd have to have the paper. I don't have the paper on me. Okay, did you sign a um Did you sign a bond conditional release form? What's that? >> the jail? I don't know what that means. The form that you signed to acknowledge your bond? I signed a lot of forms. I have no idea. My dad's a martial artist. He has If you're talking about the training equipment, that's what he does. He trains, so Well, thank you. Wow. No, he doesn't. Well, who came up? Okay, so what's going on in your backseat here, sir? It's not my car. I don't know. But um I mean, I was eventually, but no, I was going to say I did look it up. What time? Sunset was 8:34, so dusk means it's 30 minutes before that. I I looked it up. It says it's 9:05. Okay. So, where where are you headed to tonight? I I like I said, I don't answer them type of questions. I don't like to self-incriminate. I mean, if you really want me to Sure. Well, one second. Hold on now. You don't got to Hold on. Hold on. Yes, ma'am. I'm doing what you ask. I'm not a threat. No weapon, no resistance, so why was he handcuffed right on the sidewalk? The reason is unbelievable. My rights are My rights are Go ahead and put your hands up here for me, please. Do you have any weapons on you that we should know about? Absolutely not. Why is you Why are you patting me down? I don't consent to searches or searches and seizures. Okay, I'm going to pat you down, okay? Is that your keys or something in your pocket? I don't I don't answer questions. So, if you want to keep filming, that's fine. We'll just put your put your phone in your pocket for me. You're not under arrest, you're just being detained, okay? >> I know the process. I'm going to put my wallet in my pocket. Why am I being detained? Uh for your safety and mine. So, what's what's this all about? You stopped me for what's it called uh no light headlights on? What's that? So, why are you arresting me or uh detaining me now in handcuffs? Well, because of the boarding your bond, you're not allowed to possess any sort of weapons or anything like that. No deadly weapons. I don't have any deadly weapons. Well, we're going to check out what's in your back seat make sure you're not violating your bond. Where do you want your information? Yeah, in the front seat. Somewhere safe where you don't lose it. You can't get in. Huh? You can't get in. Where do you want me to put your chip? Okay, where's your keys at? We're not playing this game, sir. I'm not playing the games. Your job's not a game to me. Okay, thank you and I don't think it's a game. Well, you're the one calling it a game. I would like to make sure that you're not in violation of your bond. So, where's >> I'm not in violation of my bond. You don't have to I mean >> 35 I'm secure. You made sure I didn't have any weapons on you. >> Yeah, possessing is still being inside the vehicle. There's no weapons. Uh please don't do that. Just put it right there. Put it back. But, I don't I don't consent to searches and seizures. I do not consent to searches and seizures. You can't take my keys. Have a seat, please. A seemingly innocuous conversation revealed the hidden layers of power behind the uniform and the handcuffs. I I don't answer questions. You're being ridiculous. Just use your plain view doctrine and look in the car. There's nothing uh deadly in there. I'm not allowed to have any deadly It's not It's not sharp and it's a training equipment. I told you my dad's a martial artist, he trains. What's your name, sir? Huh? I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm you're kind of quiet. You got Are you under the weather? A little sick? Yeah, it's going around. Cole, c o l e. What's your badge number? I'm not a copper. Huh? Oh, what are you? Did you Did you go through academy or something or >> No. So, what do you do? Just ride along. I don't I'm not familiar how it works. It's a ride along program. You know what that is? No. I'm pretty much just seeing what they do. Mhm. It's like job shadow. Oh, okay. So, you're you're looking to become law enforcement, go to academy and all that? >> Yes, yeah. You could say that. Nice. What are you trying to do specifically? Oh, I have no idea yet. Still figuring it out? Figuring it out. Did you go to criminal criminal justice? What? You go to criminal justice? >> Mhm. Just interested. Interested, yeah. They let you carry? Mhm. You got a CPL and all that? Interesting. They let you carry cuffs and stuff, too? I don't carry cuffs. Did you guys look it up? Look what up? The um the dusk, when dusk is here. What is dusk here? Yeah, she said she pulled me over cuz I had my lights off during dusk. So. What's What's the proof of? Nice, I think we'll get him down here. They let you get a a radio and stuff? No. Oh, man. I don't got nothing, man. And just when it seemed like the end was near, a veiled threat from the police revealed disturbing signs of an unfair system. That he had that in there. You know that they want to report on, okay? What's that, ma'am? What I'm going to do, I'm going to write a report and I'm going to send it over to Coldwater, okay? You need to read the Michigan statute if you think that's not a deadly weapon. >> Oh, I know it's not a deadly weapon. No, you need to read the Michigan statute if you I'm I mean, I've studied the law, ma'am. Okay. I do know. And um did you know that it was 9:05 is dusk here? I think we discussed that this second. >> it was 8:34, but >> I looked it up. >> You're free to go, okay? Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir. Can I get the uh incident report number? The stop report number? Yeah, and a and a business card? Yep, if you go to your car, I'll get it for you, okay? Okay. Yeah, I'm good. There you go. Have a good one. Yep, you too. Ultimately, the driver was released without immediate arrest or prosecution, but police filed a report, potentially risking a review of his bail or wrongful prosecution. The incident raised questions about whether Hillsdale police abused their power, made false arrests, and violated their constitutional rights. No camera from the commander stopping the vehicle, no arrest warrant, no criminal violation, but use of force and intimidation tactics. Can consider reporting violations of freedom of movement, the right to be treated fairly, and not to be intimidated by public forces. A group of citizens were simply taking a photo from a public road, but less than 30 seconds later, they were being questioned like terrorists. Yeah, we're on public property taking pictures, that's it. First Amendment protected activity. We committed Taking photographs of a national security problem. from public. When the police were called, instead of determining the legality of the situation, they began to seize information and prevent people from leaving. Was this an illegal detention in the heart of Boston? Taking photographs of the plant. Is this a public road? A road? >> a public road. All right. So, so we can take pictures from the road. No, not this road. I know I'm probably on YouTube and all that. You will be. But, listen to this. You want to take pictures of the tank. Make sure what?

Yeah, but that's That's That's my policy. I'm just explaining. >> The law matters out here, bro. You You only matter inside that fence. Once you come over here, This is a public road. You can't tell us not to do this. One of the officers claimed to be a hardcore fan of the audit channels, but still blatantly tried to violate the rights of citizens. Misplaced loyalty or has the mask fallen? You're going to call 911? I'm talking. Wow, you're a tough guy. I'm talking to my security department. You're a tough guy, huh? Okay. We're on a We're on a public road, right? We're on a public road. We're on a public road. We're on a public road. Man, then you should know my You should know the rights and laws then.

Yeah, I know, but I want to just I want to not stop walking up. For more than 40 minutes, people were detained without any clear charges. They just wanted to know one thing. What are we being arrested for? But no one answered. Well, you just said yes to him, so Yeah, we're on public property taking pictures. That's it. First Amendment protected activity. On the fence. That means beyond the fence, correct? Right? We're not answering any more questions. You can only answer the same question so many times. Are we being detained right now? Are we being Are we being detained? Are you Are you You're legally detaining us? Cuz I want to walk away. No, you can't You're turning your back and walking away.

In a moment of surprise, a senior officer appears and everything changes completely. But is it too late to save the previous officers from legal consequences? How you doing, sir? Good. I'm Chuck. Uh I am Sergeant Best, Boston Police Department. Thanks. No, let's go that way. Let's go this way. Come on. Let's go this way. That sergeant is very, very, very professional. That was an amazing job by this sergeant. Uh I want you guys, if you're watching this video, to put in, whether it's through email or calls, how excellent of a job that sergeant just did. That was amazing. We have 1 2 3 4 five cruisers here. Five cruisers, five cops for a lawful activity. I kind of want to walk off down there and just wait for them, but when my anxiety goes up Let's keep walking. Like my This camera dead. Really? It just It was just about dead. So I shut it off so it didn't run out at the wrong time. He He started writing down what we're wearing and stuff. Dude, you got us on camera. He didn't want to wave. Yeah, he gave you a little his hand off the wheel. There were five patrol cars and at least five officers responding to a legitimate act, which is a clear misuse of public resources. A senior officer showed up and handled the situation professionally, not escalating the incident and calling out the abuse of power by other officers. Next, a man is pulled over in the middle of the night, but when his true identity is revealed, things get unexpectedly awkward. Is that illegal to drink, okay? You said one beer you said? Zero. Zero before you said one. 22 mark 1 male in custody and start at the house. The words began to stammer.

You are under arrest for DUI. >> I'm going to try to get you out of here quickly so you can get the car I'm not, dude. Come on. 22 Mark 1 male in custody and started the car. I'm going to try to get you out as fast as I can. I promise you she will have a nice Guy. You are not getting out of here. No, I'm going to be going to do some paperwork and get you out. Okay. Here Here's the Here's the deal. You're going to go to the station and get a couple signatures and some paperwork. And then you call someone or something. In Illinois, a first-time DUI offense, maximum penalty 1 year in jail, maximum fine of $2,500, $0.00, no mandatory minimum. If BAC greater than equals 0.16% mandatory $500.00 fine and minimum 100 hours of community service. While the police appear to follow standard procedures, the lengthy roadside check and leniency in the knowledge that the offender was a principal could be controversial. The video raises questions about fairness in law enforcement DUI procedures and the influence of social status on police decisions. He's mainly from my understanding he's like on a narcotics street something and then you know he's got other problems. Other problems. One white line mistake, one tense look and that's enough for the police to start getting involved as if they knew something was up. Uh where do you Do you live in Oak Forest? Yeah, I live there. The stop began on a very minor pretext, a slight overstep at a red light. Mr. Patient cooperated fully, but his nervousness became an excuse to escalate the situation. Hey, how you doing, sir? Hey, a deputy of the Sensible Lake County Sheriff's Office. Do you know the reason why I'm pulling you over? No. When you came to a stop at that light, right back there, you were like half your car was over the car the white line. No, when you were going straight >> No, that's okay. Okay. No, got you, man. Oh, is that where you're going? Where are you coming from? Gurnee. Yeah. Okay. Uh where do you You live in Oak Forest? Yeah. Okay. What brings you up to Gurnee? Um I was actually going up to Milwaukee. Oh, good good spot to stop. Uh let me get your insurance if you don't mind. Yeah. Okay. It's just I I can see that you're kind of nervous. Is there a reason for that? Police kept stressing Mr. Patience's expression, interjecting a few paintball stories to lighten the mood. They asked him to get out of the car. Surprised, he complied, not knowing that the ordeal had just begun. Your vein is like popping out. Oh, is that what that is? I was going to say you made me stop. Is Is it any good? Yeah. Yeah? You ever heard of Infamous Paintball? No. No. No. I play though, mainly airsoft, um but You ever Have you ever heard of HK Army or any of those brands? No. Oh, for sure. Nice. Okay. I can I can pull it up if I if I call it. Okay. I just want to verify the VIN, make sure that obviously We have a lot of cars stolen up here today. Yeah. I'll come around the back if you want. I'll I'll come around that side. I'll be right It's actually on this side right here. Yeah, and this is why I always check it. If you want to step out here, I'll show it to you. Oh, why? It It's not right. What do you mean? So, in all honesty, bro, I can see that you're nervous. >> okay? Yeah, you can go ahead. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm I'm okay. I was over the line at a stop light and he pulled me over. I I have my insurance card for the Infiniti, but not for the Jeep. Okay. All right. Because you're extremely nervous and I don't want you to come come out injured. So, like I said, just come out. It's all good. When you face away from me, I'm just going to check Mr. Patient was separated from the car and stood in front of it. A drug-sniffing dog was brought in and was said to detect drugs. The police used the excuse of protecting the dog to search the car more thoroughly. Make sure that you don't have any weapons or anything. Face away from me. No, you're practically You can go ahead and just lean on the hood of the car. That's all. I'm going to get started on his tickets. So, I got to get started on his now. Just hang out right here, okay, bro? Okay. That's correct, please. Is there anything in the vehicle? No. Okay. What I'm going to have you do is walk around to the passenger side. You can walk around. Just put your hands on the other side of the car and don't move, okay? Go Go ahead and open the door. You're just going to sit down, okay? There's a camera right there. Prior to my shift, I searched the back of the car, so there's nothing illegal in this car. Don't leave anything that you didn't come with. All right. I'll be right back with you, okay? Police said the dogs responded to multiple locations, including the fanny pack in the trunk, but without video evidence, they searched the bag, opened it, and seized suspected drugs and Mr. Patient's phone. See him adjust anything and then, you know, he's got Other problems. Other problems. You know what I'm saying? Let me go around and Do you want to ask him real quick before we put him in there? All right, listen real quick. My partner over here told me that the K9 indicated on a lot of different spots in your car. For what? The dog is trained out I'll let him kind of talk about that. But if the dog goes in there and you do have some illegal substance in there and the dog eats it, that's like killing a cop almost. You see what I'm saying? We wouldn't want the dog to get harmed if you have like a loose amount of something. Sure. You should feel comfortable saying that there's nothing in there. There's a a vape? Okay. I don't think he would indicate on that. Um he's mainly from my understanding, he's like a narcotics trained dog. So what he does is he finds drugs. Right. So the the only reason why he would indicate on your car is because you know, most likely you would have guns. Do you want to give me your passport then? Uh I don't want to give it to you. I I think he did email you something. Is that your paintball gear? Okay. Okay. Give me 1 second. I'll be right back. He's He's indicated like by the steering wheel. Okay. Uh he's got like a fanny pack or something in the passenger A search of the vehicle resulted in a major discovery, nearly 4 kg of marijuana, mushrooms, THC, and cocaine, enough to warrant a trafficking charge. Mr. Patient was immediately handcuffed and taken to the police station. The board is indicated on that and then these packages in the back. So I'll I'll look at Apparently, he indicated on that. Couple places throughout the vehicle to include these packages in the back. So he's going to be searching it and I guess we'll see what the outcome is. Found there back when when I was like 15 or 16. I wouldn't move back though. I I'm sure it's fun to visit. Oh, you're like south south. Yeah, I stay in the city though. Oh, okay. How long did it take you to drive up here? Here, I'll be right back. Large box has a significant amount of marijuana. Looks like some type of mushrooms. There's a couple of containers. I didn't pull it open yet. Um It's all bubble wrapped and taped shut. I'll dig into it now. I don't know if you just want to We're going to break it down. I'll take a look at that a little bit further. I do you want to shoot handy or not? I got one. I'll get started. I'll dig one out. So uh Yeah, if you don't mind. He doesn't have any other cell phones other than the one I took off of him, right? >> another one in the bag. I'll take it, too. I'm going to get the bag. Anything in the bag? Possibly something that was in the center console. Yeah, I did see that when I was >> I mean, it's a significant amount. Right. And then, this was uh He indicated on his path. >> That's that other phone I was telling you. Okay. It's in there. I'll keep it in there. I'll keep it in there for you, then. I'll let you uh call. I'll hold onto that for you. Okay. Appreciate it a bunch. Police showed signs of abuse of power, nitpicking over minor mistakes, setting up sniffer dogs in ambiguous searches to aim for intentional results. Maybe next time he should let the students drive so they can at least stop at the right time. Hey guys, what do you think about it from the very first second? A citizen walks into a police building just to file a complaint, but what he gets is the threat of arrest. What makes officers afraid of a piece of paper? You don't leave the building, you're going to get arrested again. >> doing legal business. You're under arrest for trespassing. >> I'm not, sir. I'm doing legal business. >> You've been told to leave. >> I'm waiting for my paperwork so I can leave. >> When the receptionist blatantly lied that there were no officers in the building, a sergeant suddenly appeared just a few minutes later. So, who was pulling the strings in the dark? We are back at Maryland DGS Capital Police Building in Annapolis, where I came to turn in another one of the complaints I have for their officers there. Let's watch and see how I was greeted when I get into the building. Hi, can I help you? Yep. So, I was here a couple weeks ago and I turned this in and it wasn't uh Hold on. Hold on. Let me get a police officer for you. Okay. Have a seat. Right here. What's your name? I'd rather not give that. But, the name is on your complaint. You'd rather not give your name for the officer to come out here and address you? Absolutely. Cool. Yeah, I checked and there's no sergeant around. Okay. So, what's that supposed to mean? I'm just not allowed to turn in my complaint now? It's not that you're not allowed to turn in your complaint. There's no one to accept it. Well, this is session Maryland General Assembly is in session right now. Uh-huh, right down the street. Uh-huh. >> are out on patrol. >> Okay. Well, we're Well, we're going to have to call one over here to do their job, man. Okay. I'm not talking to you like anything. I'm just saying you're going to have to call a police officer down here. You can't deny me a public services, man. Well, you're telling me there's no sergeant to come down here and do the job. Oh, wait. So, now there is a sergeant here is what you're saying. So, what you're saying is there is a sergeant here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Let's explain a big lie before you come out here cuz you just told me The sheriff showed up in person not to handle complaints, but to intimidate people for daring to assert their legal rights. Is this how Maryland protects civil rights? Please, I need these stamped copies to be returned to me. I need a date stamp. You guys have that. >> Where? They're back in the office, sir. We're the only ones >> Every police station has that. Can I see what you're talking about? No, you need to Well, no, sir. There's only one way this should be handled. Sir, there's a legal Sir, there's There's way of doing this. You tell me what you're talking about. it's a complaint right here. What what else do you need to see, sir? You don't fill Sir, you don't decide out here if the complaint's viable to get filled in or not. I get to turn it in and then the review process goes through the complaint and then they decide if it's viable and they're going to dis- do something with it, sir. Okay, so then why is it that I'm asking them to just simply stamp it, sir? I'm asking them to Stamp it as received. Finally, an officer acknowledges that there is something known as the received stamp. >> Yes, that's all I'm asking them. Okay. That's what I'm asking. Thank you. Ma'am, I'm I'm doing legal business. >> Come with me. I was told by the commissioner that I could do this. This is legal business. I have legal business. No, ma'am, I'm This is legal business. I'm going to be here and I'm going to help you outside cuz you're disturbing I'm not disturbing anything, ma'am. >> the people >> not, ma'am. I'm asking them to do their job. They're disturbing it by refusing me services, ma'am. I need these date stamp received and returned to me, ma'am. I'm not I'm not >> the second one that you've done? Yeah, it's the second one. I'm allowed to fill in more than one. No, it's not the same thing. This this one is the same thing because it wasn't stamped and returned to me. I need these done properly. I'm not interfering with the flow of business. They're refusing to do it. I want two sergeants here and the lieutenant, that's it. Everyone else can go. What's up, Barnes? How you doing, buddy? >> How you doing, man? Good, man. How you doing? Yeah. I'm hanging in there, buddy. Hanging in there. I'm trying to fill out complaints for what happened that day, but they're like they're being ignorant about it. And then they're trying to say that I'm interfering with the flow of business. I came down here, I rang the doorbell, a lady came out, and then she walks in and goes, "Hey, Sergeant Alexander." What do you mean there's no sergeant here? When people insisted on exercising their constitutional rights, he was handcuffed and dragged away in broad daylight. What was the charge? A request for a stamp of approval. And I'm waiting for them to look at me. And I've been told by the commissioner that if I have legal business, I can come in the office, sir. >> not to trespass in this building >> doing legal business, sir. I'm doing legal business, sir. you don't leave the building, you're going to get arrested again. >> I'm doing legal business, sir. >> Again and again. You're not to come back here. I'm doing legal business, sir. It sir. Get out or get locked I have a right Put it Lock him up. No, I'm not. >> Yeah, you are. Rebecca, can you just please give me my paperwork so I can leave? It's too late for that. Sir, Rebecca, what is going on out here? You're under arrest for trespassing. >> I'm not, sir. I'm doing legal business. You've been told to leave. >> I'm waiting for my paperwork so I can leave. That's all I waited on. What is the issue here? How am I trespassing? I was told by the commissioner that I was allowed to come here and fill this. I asked this before I asked the commissioner before I came down here what am I allowed to do. Trespassing. For filing a legal complaint? This is a I have a right to file these complaints, sir. I don't understand why I'm being arrested. I literally Okay. Sir, I was told that if I had legal business Sir, if I would I have a legal right to be here if I'm filing a grievance, sir. I'm filing a grievance, sir. Sir, this is this is a violation of 18 code US 242 is a deprivation of public services. I have a right to file grievances with my government, sir. Yes, ma'am. This is ridiculous, man. Because you guys couldn't make a copy of a piece of paper. I don't understand how this is not legal business, sir. I'm simply asking for a copy piece of paper I need and they said you were allowed back there if you have legal and lawful business. They told me that filing this complaint is legal and lawful business. So, how is it that I'm being trespassed or how is it I'm being arrested for trespassing? This is your guys' complaint form for Maryland Capital Police. So, therefore, I'm filling out I'm doing legal business. For an unstamped application, he was sent straight to prison facing three criminal charges. Behind this incident, there is a system that is more willing to suppress than explain. What's the issue here? So, why am I in handcuffs? No, absolutely not. Yeah, yeah. Let Let it I said let it roll until you get to the front Absolutely. Okay, okay. I got it. I don't understand how I was told by the commissioner this was lawful and legal business. Understand, sir. You can't ban someone from doing a constitutionally protected activity. I have a right to file this, sir. You're right, I can't come here and just sit down and chill in the office. I can't go in there and do the security card processing center. >> I would rather not speak to you, sir. Okay. What is the reason you came here? I got to meet you, okay? What's that? I'm going to search you, okay? I'm going to Okay. Okay. Yeah, I understand what you're talking about, so we're going to take care of this process. Thank you, sir. Do you have anything on you that's going to hurt? No, sir. All right. Can I borrow your ID? He's already checked me, sir. Citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights pursuant to 42 US 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. The video raises serious questions about abuse of power, cover-ups, and obstruction of civil rights. Despite the arrests, the residents said they would continue to file complaints, asserting that the actions they were stopped by the police were legal and protected by law. Next, with just a camera and a few steps on the sidewalk, he got the entire bank to call the police. But what really scared them so much? He's taking pictures and video of the bank. Oh, okay. Doing it for the city or just for the bank? >> definitely definitely not for the city. >> Oh, okay. I am a independent journalist. Is he going to take more pictures or is he going to You need to stop taking pictures. I'm sorry, because we're going to have to call the police. Exactly. Is the man outside on the public street? >> guy taking pictures of the front of the bank through the door. Is Joe an employee? When a man quietly films on the street, one bank invites him in for coffee, and another calls him a menace. What's going on in Marysville? No complaints. I said no complaints. No way, man. It's beautiful. Just some photography. Taking a picture of the video of the bank. No. Definitely definitely not for the city. I am a independent journalist and I'm just uh working on a story. I've never seen a combo bank {slash} coffee shop before. >> try a drink on us while you're here? Don't tease me. Are you serious? I've never had anybody actually offer me a drink. Are you kidding me? What kind of drinks you talking about? Can I come in? Oh, man. It's safe to say that tens of thousands of people will likely see the video that I do in Marysville. I'm just doing a story on Marysville and and the banking institutions in Marysville. So, where does this information All over. Well, you know, have you ever heard of like Shutterstock? Are you familiar with Shutterstock? Say if you wanted like a a 10-second video of a lion at the DMV. You can go to Shutterstock and you can buy that. A lion at the DMV, boom. Typically, one can't do it when there's name brands in like Richwood Coffee. I I did have to blur that out or not show it whatsoever because, you know, you can't then it's not really Shutterstock material. I hate to I've known that I've seen some of my stuff on TikTok before, but I think TikTok is a disease, personally, so I try to avoid that. Better? It's all donation-based. We don't profit What? Wait, donation-based? So, is this is the money going to charity? >> sales go to charity. Get out of here. What charity? I know you're not allowed to do this, a warning from the bank manager, but is it really a crime or just a lack of understanding of civil rights? No more pictures at the doors. You can take pictures not of me, either. Ralph Take more pictures or is he going to He needs to stop taking pictures because I'm going to have to call the police. And what would you tell the police, exactly? Is it a outside on the public sidewalk? This guy is >> pictures in front of the bank through the doors. Is it Joe an employee here, a manager? Sure. Joe is one of the managers, yeah. Got you, got you. What's up, Joe? He's taking pictures through the pictures in the window. He won't tell us why. We can't have you doing that. What? It's a security risk. We're just asking you to stop, so I'm going to ask you to stop infringing on my right to take pictures in public. >> allowed to take pictures of a financial institution like this. Like by law? You're saying that it's against the law to take photographs at financial institutions? >> me to call the police. I really don't want to do that. >> I would love for you to call the police. >> Why are you acting like this? I'm on a public sidewalk. You guys are heckling me, if anything. >> a picture of a bank. >> Love that belt buckle. Thank you. You you are I'm I'm on tape. Like we have a sign that says you're on camera when you come in the bank. Just please stop taking pictures of the entrance way. I I would If you believe that I am committing a crime, I would encourage you to call the police. All right, all right. So, we have to loan you another 700 billion in order to uh take pictures of the bank? >> just just stop taking pictures of I absolutely, positively will not stop taking pictures of this bank. As soon as the police showed up, things could have taken a dangerous turn. But instead of making an arrest, the female officer surprised the audience with something no one expected. I like your tattoo. Thank you. What is that? Uh I like Star Wars a lot, so it's Nice. So do I. In fact, I often wear a Star Wars shirt. And the little The dots and the coloring stuff. Cool. Far better than my tattoos. Far better than my tattoos. So, I got it. Officer Archer, was it Was it the bank across the street with a with a guy named Joe actually claimed I was committing a crime by taking photos on the sidewalk? Or was it the lunatics right here that seemed that I'm committing a crime and flipping me off by taking pictures of them? Yeah, no, you're right. You didn't flip me off. You did. Then can you just tell me why you're taking pictures of Sir, you know, there's a really neat thing you might want to call the blinds hotline for it, but they're called blinds. You see if you shut the blinds, boom, nobody can see inside. I can indeed. She can tell me why she flipped me off, but that's not going to happen. Oh my god, I'm I'm accosting women. That sounds like a crime. You better call the police. See what I'm dealing with here? Yeah, there you go. Yeah. How am I? Uh well, I suspect Oh see, there you go. You do deal with it cuz you're dealing with it right now. You don't have a choice. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't see you. Yeah, just taking photographs. You guys are the ones who came out, flipped me off. I'll stand here and take pictures of you. See, I couldn't really see you through the windows very well with the glare, but if you're going to come out here, that'd be great. Pose away. Pose away. Anyways, so to make a long story short, Officer Archer, you seem like a pleasant woman. Any any any Star Wars fan generally have a general rule of thumb, just not talking to the police. Um no offense to you. Uh I've had far too many cops who tried to jam me up because I said the wrong word and all of a sudden they're like, "Oh my god." So, I just don't really talk to police. Raised fingers, vulgar language, and a camera that misses no detail. Little do they know that tens of thousands of people are about to witness their every move online. Hey, for what it's worth, generally the longer people stand outside busting my chops and flipping me off along the way. I stay. So, You have a minute then? No? All right, just just giving you a helpful hint for future reference cuz it'll happen again. Somebody will walk by with a camera. Well, it'll happen again. I I guarantee you. I guarantee you it'll happen again in the near future. When it does, start out with the bottle of water and see how that works for you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So so so people that you flip off, but then tell you to [ __ ] off, you won't give them water. She flipped me off. No, you'll you'll watch the video, my friend. I assure you. Oh, you'll find it. Yeah, let me rephrase. Let me rephrase. It will find you. You guys screwed the pooch. It's as simple as that. You screwed the pooch. You know, man on the sidewalk taking pictures and you come out here and verbally accost him and flip him off and No, you just It is weird. It is weird. So, you guys generally flip off everybody that is doing something you think is weird? Is that how it works? You disagree with public photography, do you? I'll step down here. To be clear, Officer Archer, I'm not being detained, am I? Images of employees abusing citizens in public spaces have the potential to cause a backlash and damage the reputation of businesses. At the same time, it contributes to raising public awareness of constitutional rights. I DIDN'T COMMIT CRIME. I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STOP. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. I'M GOING TO KEEP WALKING DOWN the street. In New York, walking the wrong way can get you handcuffed, but don't think it's that simple. Okay, it's in your bra? Okay. So, February 27, 2025, she was just hungry and went to buy a hamburger. She was suddenly stopped and a few minutes later, everything suddenly got out of control. I don't have to identify myself.
