public meeting here. Let me see. Don't snatch from me. What do you think you're doing? >> The officer never imagined that his arrogance and a moment of abuse of power would put his prestigious insignia in jeopardy. >> No, I don't. I'm asking you to give it over. >> You have to >> willingly identify yourself. That's what I'm asking. >> Hey, man. I ask you. >> Believing himself above the law, the officer personally signed a verdict that would destroy his career right in front of the cameras. The dispute took place at the Berian District Fairgrounds, and what happened immediately afterward led many to question the police's conduct. Hello. >> Hello, sir. >> How's it going? >> Good. >> Mr. Crowder share. >> Jim like to have this gentleman. >> He wanted to discuss his service thought. I told him I didn't need to speak with Jim to step away from me. I told him service need to be back in the camping area. He's arguing arguing with me. He's refusing to leave. I've asked him numerous times to walk away. Hi, Brandon. Aren't you smart? And he absolutely refuses to walk away from the conversation. Will back away. I shut the door. The door sticks. It's slam. So, I'm being disrupted and unruly because I've asked him to walk away from me. I have the right to have him removed from my my show. Okay. >> I've asked him repeatedly to walk away and leave. He refuses to. I would like to see him removed. The female manager asked the police to remove the man from the fair because he wouldn't back down and kept bothering her. The officer's next action immediately sparked a heated argument. >> Hello. >> How's it going, officer? >> Are you Brandon? >> Yes, sir. >> Do you have any ID on you? >> Uh, I I do, actually. Uh, >> can I see that, please? >> But my name is Brandon Hobbies. And the reason why we're having this conversation is literally just because I came up and >> Well, look, look, can I see your ID? >> I'd rather not give you my ID. I haven't broken any laws. >> I'm not saying you broke any laws. I just want to identify you. >> Yeah. I mean, I I'm telling you, I'm Brandon. My name is Brandon. >> Okay. >> And I haven't broken any laws, so therefore I wouldn't want to give you my ID if that's okay. >> I'm just confused as to why not. >> I'm not I'm I'm not I wasn't disordered. She's the one who's getting disordered. I heard enough to have have a conversation. I was talking to them for like 2 minutes. She slammed the door. Came over here. She said she was calling you guys, so I didn't leave. run away. >> What's your middle name? >> My My name My middle name is Anna, but I'm not going to give you any more information. My name is Brandon. She called you and told you who I was. >> What's your date of birth? >> I have not I'm not going to give you any more information, but I'd like to I'd like to not uh give anymore. >> Why won't you give me your date of birth? I don't understand. Why? Why would you need to have >> Because I need I need documents your fourth amendment, right? It is not that I haven't broken any laws. >> I haven't broken any laws. >> I'm not saying you broke any laws. I am asking you to give more. Therefore, I'd like to be secure in my house. >> I'd like to be in secure my Okay. Are you refusing to identify yourself? >> Well, yeah. I broken. >> So, they have asked you to leave. Okay. If you refuse to leave, then you are trespassing and that is breaking. >> Well, they would have to trespass me and I would have to be given an opportunity to leave. That's how trespass laws work. So if you want >> good status, can you start another unit? >> You want to you want to ask them if I'm being trespassed? >> She already said she wants you to leave. >> Well, no. She wanted me to leave. She said she didn't tell me to leave the leave this place. She just wanted me to leave the office. >> You want him gone, right? >> Is that not correct? >> Is Isn't that correct, Tom? She wanted me to leave the office, not the property. >> Originally, she asked to walk away and leave the office. >> Well, that's what I was that's my under my understanding. So, if I'm being trust, if I'm being if I'm >> and that's why is because I was waiting for the officer. >> I'm sorry, sir. >> You're insulting me? >> No, I don't want you putting your hands next to >> He refused to walk away >> from from my booth. >> What? He refused to walk away and I told him, "I will have you removed from my grounds. If you don't walk away, I will call the police and have you removed." >> So, you want you want me trespassed to me? >> Is that correct? Do you want me trespassed? I >> I don't want you trespassed. I want you removed off my grounds. Nobody said if he can't remove argumentative. He does. He just loves to do this. This is here's the deal. Take him out. If you want him gone, all right, we would have to formally trespass him. Is that what we want to do? >> That's up to you, Brandon. You have a choice. >> I have a choice about what? >> You can leave peacefully or we can arrest you for trespassing. What do you want to do? >> No, sir. She can ask me if if I'm trespassing and I will I will >> You can You can leave peacefully or we can arrest you for trespassing. >> Trust They have to trespass me though. >> They Yes, they do. And they can >> So, am I being trespassed? >> Don't walk away. >> No, that's not how it works. You have to trespass me that I have to be given an opportunity to leave. Keep your hands to yourself. >> Well, could you you you also uh isn't that correct, officer? I have to be trespassed and then I have to be given an opportunity to leave. >> You are being told to leave >> by law. >> Okay. At this point, I can arrest you for disorderly conduct. I can arrest for trespassing. >> Well, I'm not being disorderly. I will I will gladly leave this area. >> It's time to leave. Let's go. >> Okay. >> All right. Leave the fair grounds. >> Can I get your name and your badge number, please? >> My name is Officer Wis WSS. My badge number is 109. Okay. >> Thank you. Thank you for for your professionalism, sir. >> Well, you guys have a good day. >> I would say the same for you. >> Well, I I don't think I've been not professional. >> I disagree. >> Well, why would you say that? >> Because you're instigating. >> I'm not instigating anything. >> Yes, you are. Now, it's time to leave. Let's go. >> Yeah, I said I was going to leave. >> Then let's go. Let's not talk about it anymore. >> I have to be given an opport You don't want me to use my free speech to leave to leave this place? I can't use my free speech. >> I'm leaving. Without verifying the violation, the police hastily flaunted their power by repeatedly threatening the man to show his ID and accusing him of trespassing. Unable to argue with a law-abiding citizen, the officer resorted to a feudal threat of arrest to salvage some of his uniform's prestige. >> All right. >> I'm I'm curious on why you're further harassing me. Well, because I needed to determine whether or not uh you were who I thought you were because there is an individual with your name who was uh involved with uh believe it was St. Joe police. >> Mhm. >> And is possibly pending charges. >> So, I need to determine whether or not you had any warrants out for your arrest. >> Well, I'd like to not further your investigation. >> Well, that can you can be charged with obstructing justice at that point. >> Well, obstruction is a physical act. >> It's not. That's It actually is. >> So, >> by law, >> that's obstruction. >> At this point, all right. >> Unless you're going to give me ID to confirm this. >> I'm not going to give you make you're making me insecure on my house, paper, property, effects, and things. You violate my Fourth Amendment right, I'm going to sue you to willingly give me your right. >> I've not broken any laws. >> I'm not forcing you to do that. >> I've not broken any laws. >> What does that have to do with me asking you to give you ID? Because you don't have to have articulable, reasonable suspicion to gain my ID. >> No, I don't. I'm asking you to give it over to willingly identify yourself. That's what I'm asking. >> Yeah. You're ask you're ask you're you're trying to violate my fourth amendment right. >> I'm not trying to violate any rights. I was trying to violate your rights. I doing it by force. My supervisor isn't working today. I'm the only officer. I'm in charge. >> Well, you should get a supervisor before you make a mistake. >> I don't have a supervisor working right now. I am the supervisor. would highly suggest you go above yourself before you make a mistake because you walked over here to harass me and ask me to gain my ID. I've not broken any laws. I've not even been trespassed. >> Unable to convict the man, the officer fabricated another reason to continue demanding his ID in an unreasonable manner. This blatant abuse of power not only trampled on the rights of citizens, but also exposed the shameful incompetence of law enforcement officials. threatened me with arrest if I didn't leave, which is a violation of my rights in general. That is assault, sir. You have a gun and a badge. Maybe the badge, but that gun, that's an assault. You have no legal and lawful reason to tell me to leave this place. They never trespass me from this place. That's not an assault. I can tell you right now that if I if I if I use my words in a threatening manner, that's assault. If I touch you, that's battery. That's assault and battery. So, obviously, you need to learn the law. At this point, you've agreed to leave. >> I suggest you do that. >> Well, I suggest you to stop harassing me further. >> So, >> an armed gun, an armed gunman, you you you actually have no lethal, legal, and lawful authority to even make me leave at this point. You understand? >> Get your car and go. >> You understand? >> Okay. Let's not make this any worse than it needs to be. >> Well, you I would highly suggest you not make it any worse for yourself because this is documented on video. >> We're having a conversation. I wish you had a body camera because you should have a spot for it to hold yourself legally accountable for what you're doing right now. Yep. >> Because if you violate my rights and take me to jail, >> I'm going to sue you. >> I understand your right. >> So, I charging right now. So, I highly suggest you walk away, sir, because you have no legal and lawful authority to make me do anything at the moment. You have no you have no ARS. You have no articulable reasonable suspicion to do anything to me. What you're saying to me is unlawful in what you're doing. I've not broken the law. I've not been disorderly. I've not done anything wrong here. You're coming and harassing me. You walked over 100 yards to come here and harass me and try to gain my information. I said I was going to leave. You are hindering that ability for me to hindering anything. I've not Don't come over here like it's Are you leaving or no? Or do you want to keep talking? >> Do you have legal and lawful authority to even make me leave? >> I'm not asking talking about making you leave. I'm asking you. >> You're trying to exercise your authority and assurp authority over me. I wish that was the case. >> A free man as you think you are. >> You threatened me with arrest over there for for disorderly when I've not refused to leave. But I've not been disorderly. You're you're assaulting my persons because you have no lawful. >> Are you leaving or no? Why are you standing here? >> Are you leaving or no? Yes, sir. >> How are you? How are you serving the public? >> Are you leaving? Yes or no? >> I told you that I was going to leave, but I don't. But I don't have to leave. Sir, no. You wanted to come have this conversation with me. I don't have to leave this. >> No, I'm bored of this conversation because you're not nearly as cool or smart as you. >> But you understand. I want you to know as a public servant that works for me. I don't work for you. >> No, I work for the people of Barryian Springs. >> I am the people, right? I am the people. No, you work for the people. You swore an oath to the US Constitution to therefore protect my rights. You serve the public by protecting individual rights. And what you're doing right now trying to come over here and harass me to gain my to gain my property. My papers peaceful. >> I'm not disrupting anything. There is nobody around here. >> There is absolutely nobody around here. >> So, are you ready to go? >> You are disrupting my day by harassing me and coming over here. Yes, sir. The officer seemed to forget that his every abuse of power and threat was directly putting the badge on his chest in jeopardy, all while the camera silently recorded everything. Ultimately, the most humiliating outcome for the officer was being thoroughly schooled on the law by the very citizen he was desperately trying to incriminate. Next, just because of a camera in a public area, those whose job it is to uphold the law have become the focus of controversy. Hey, >> hey, how are you? >> What are you looking for? What's your name? >> Can I get your name and badge number first? >> No. What's your name? >> Can I get your name and badge number first? >> I mean, what what's your name? >> I'm just asking you for your name and badge number, sir. >> I mean, you just say work with the sheriff department. So, I mean why? >> Okay, since you don't want to provide it. It's Kizart. >> No, that's not my name. >> That's not your name? Kizart? >> How do you say it then? >> My name is Deputy Kizart. What's your name? >> Kizart. And your badge number, Kizart? >> I mean, why all that? >> Just so I know who I'm talking to. You came up to me. >> It's the only one. I mean, I'm just wondering why you coming through feminine, but that's what I'm saying. What is your state your business? >> Oh, my business. I'm just taking pictures on video. >> So, what what's the purpose? >> I'm an independent journalist. I'm just taking some pictures on video. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. >> What do you have any ID on you? >> Do I have any ID on me? >> No, I don't have any ID on me. No, >> you don't. Why not? >> I don't I don't carry ID everywhere I go. >> But you know, you're supposed to, right? I'm supposed to carry ID everywhere I go. >> Okay. You're supposed to >> What law What law is that? >> Oh, you do. You know, it's a 9/11. You know, we have a right to ID anybody. >> No, that's wrong. You're wrong about that. That's not true. You need reasonable You need what's called reasonable articulable suspicion that I'm committing a crime >> in order to lawfully demand ID from me. >> Mhm. >> And I don't have to carry ID. I mean, if I didn't have ID, then you can demand name and date of birth. But again, you would need >> I'm not going to go back and forth with you like I'm >> So why come up to me in the beginning? But why you walking through a public building just feeling people? >> You said it right, deputy. Public building. You said it. >> A 21st century police officer is using the 9/11 attacks as an excuse to demand ID from anyone he pleases. This appalling lack of legal understanding is a direct slap in the face to the Fourth Amendment, turning the law into a cheap joke of abuse of power. >> How you doing today, Deputy? >> Good. You? >> I'm doing well. I was just explaining to uh Deputy Kizard over here. >> Mhm. >> Um what I was doing. I'll take another picture. Go ahead. All you want. >> As many as you'd like. >> Would you Are you What's your uh name and badge number, sir? >> I don't I'm not going to talk. Call me. You don't have >> Are you a Are you a sheriff? Are you the sheriff here? >> Well, that's not very professional, sir. So it goes from the top down. That's the sheriff. Is that where you learned how to be unprofessional? >> Is that where you learned, sir? >> You're just one of them guys, right? >> One of the You could have identified yourself the same way anybody else. >> I'm just recording. You just Where did you record me? >> I mean, that's fine. You can do that all you want. >> I don't care. >> You look childish. >> I'm grate. >> But you look childish by recording me. Is that a personal phone or a work phone? >> Why does it matter? >> Calm down. And you just addressed me as a I'm a grown man. Okay. I'm not no child. Do I make myself clear? >> Did I say you were a child? >> Did do I make myself clear? >> Did I say you were a child? Deputy >> acting like a >> acting like a child. That's That's what I said. Correct. That's what I said. If you're going to accuse me of something, let's make sure it's right. >> Yeah. Okay. >> All right. I see the uh the professionalism or lack thereof comes from the top down. That looked like the sheriff there cuz he was in the board. He was in the meeting over there. So you keep coming back and looking at me all you want. You don't intimidate me. Not even a little bit. Yeah. Keep on recording. Go ahead. That's your constitutional right, deputy. >> Just record each other then. >> That's fine with me. >> Obviously not. >> You get paid. I get paid to do this. >> Oh, you do? >> I'll find out how much. >> Kids are right. >> More than you ever think. >> Oh. >> When reason fails, law enforcement officers suddenly transform into sulky children, aggressively retaliating with their personal phones. This is no longer just unprofessional behavior, but a diplomatic disaster for the entire law enforcement system. >> Anybody here? >> No video inside the conference. >> This is a public meeting. No, >> no, no. No video. You can put the camera down or you can leave. >> So there's no >> You can put the camera down anyway. This is not a public meeting. >> Put the camera down and you can leave. >> Where's the transparency? >> Two choices. Put the camera down or leave. >> Where's the transparency? >> Interesting. Where's the transparency, Sheriff? Interesting. I thought it was a public meeting. I'm going have to contact these supervisors here and hold them accountable for kicking me out of a public meeting because I'm recording. That's ridiculous. I'll take one of these. Kicked out of a public meeting for a little transparency. The police chief's blatant violation of public meeting laws to remove a camera only fueled suspicions that something truly horrifying was hidden inside that room, waiting to be exposed to the light of justice. >> Sir, that board meeting is not open to the public. You do not have any reason to be in that board meeting. >> It says public meeting here. Let me see it. >> Don't snatch from me. What do you think you're doing? Don't snatch something from me. What do you think you're doing? Grab your own copy. All right. What's wrong with you, man? You got a bad attitude. You don't deserve to wear the badge. You don't deserve it. >> We have we have a gentleman over there that's walking here. She come up with just talking. He said he's a journalist and he just record. >> This guy's This guy's a loose cannon right here. Kizard over here is a loose cannon. I got I'm record. >> Yeah, I know. >> You're a loose cannon, Kizart. You know that. I'm glad I came here today and I'm glad I got to expose you to the world. Glad. What a tyrant this guy is. Next time when somebody comes in here, you treat him with respect. You identify yourself. You hear me? Next time somebody comes in here and ask for your name and badge number, you give it to them. You be cordial. You be prof You be professional. You be professional. You learn the law. You learn the law. 9/11 didn't mean you could do whatever you want to do. Learn the law. Yeah. Keep telling me to shut up. You're a class act. Class act you are. >> Because I'm trying to educate you. Trying to educate you. You can't you can't act the way you do. You can't You can't You can't treat You can't treat people You can't treat people however way you want, Kizart. You can't do that. Your job is to be professional with the public. Professional with the public. Deescalate the situation. Not escalate it. >> Not not, you know, record me like a little child and put your hand everywhere. >> Come on, man. You got to be better than that. The taxpayers fund your fund your salary. Got to be better than that. Kizart, I'm going to give you the opportunity to apologize to me for the way you treated me here today, Kizart. You shouldn't hold your breath. >> I shouldn't hold my breath. >> What' you say? >> You said I shouldn't hold my breath for an apology. >> I didn't say that. >> Yeah, you did. It's on camera, man. Now you're a liar. Come on, man. Don't do that. Let's leave here as a mutual understanding that you should treat the public better and you should learn the law. And then >> should be a work. >> I just told you I'm an I told you from the g from the get-go, I'm an independent journalist. This is my work. This is my work. You You made yourself the star for the world to see. For what? For what? I wasn't disrespectful towards you. I didn't try and snatch nothing out your hand. >> What did I do to you, Kizart? What did I do to you? You want to tell me? You want to tell me to shut up and be rude for what? Professionalism. Professionalism. Be professional. I'm done with this guy. Take care, Deputy Kizart. Before I leave, this is your last opportunity to apologize to me and the public for your disgraceful behavior here today. Would you like to take me up on that opportunity, sir, to apologize to the public for your disgraceful behavior here, as well as myself? >> No. All right. Well, have the day you deserve.
