Give me a ticket cuz you're not getting my ID. >> From a seemingly normal situation, everything suddenly turned into a breathtaking confrontation right in the middle of the street. >> You parked in the middle of the road. >> I'm parked in the side. >> No, you're not. Don't tell me what the do. Don't tell me where to go. Don't tell me how to cross the street and where to go and what to do. Who's the coward now? Who's the coward now?

What's your name and badge number? >> Ken, that's why. I have every right to take pictures and video out here. The training facility is right at the street. >> Just a call, but the description makes everything tense and suffocating. A real threat or just an exaggerated fear?

It's officer safety. Don't tell me to walk in the road and watch. >> Orders were given in succession. Challenges were answered. And then a moment so unexpected that the entire police convoy had to stop. >> You have a business card? >> Do not have a card. >> Do you have a business card? >> Not on me. Do you have a business card? Do you have a business? Are you detectives don't have business cards? You guys are straight lies. Straight out of the book, huh? >> Yeah.

No overhead lights, but they're worried about a guy with a camera. >> No lights, huh? Hey, S. You want to get them to put their overhead lights on for officer safety? Cuz you know, public safety is number two, right? You mind if I do a quick sweep on you just for any tyranny? >> Do you mind? >> I'm not going to touch them. Why?

How many crimes are out there that are unsolved? Because >> when everything seemed to be getting out of control, the outcome made everyone ponder who is the real loser in this confrontation. >> You an officer? Are you an officer? 41 section 98D states Massachusetts state law says you have to identify yourself if you're an officer. What is your name and badge number? What is your name and badge number? Failing to identify? Are you unable to violate my rights today, April? You can scale little piggies calling the police on the police. >> Maybe experience. We spoke with our mail party. He's on a public way and not willing to identify himself. >> Can I help you? >> I was wondering, can I help you? Cuz I'm just a civilian and I don't know why you're filming. So, I don't know who you are. >> You work out of here? >> I live over here. >> Okay. What's that matter? Oh, you're not either. Says the one driving away in the car. >> Bring the key back down.

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 incident shows the risk of abuse of power when police overreact to lawful behavior that can lead to civil complaints and constitutional rights litigation. Up next, just one camera, but soon after, a whole police force suddenly appeared, starting a tense and suffocating confrontation. >> If you're going to continue uh illegally detaining me, then yeah, that doesn't mean that you could just stop me and say, "I am not I'm not free to move anymore. It's self evident, isn't it? I'm recording on public property." >> I don't know. What are you recording? A call with vague accusations and then a swarm of police. All because of a man standing there filming. But what is the truth? >> Can I help you? >> I'm just letting you know. >> You're more than welcome to film here. >> You don't need to tell me not to go on the property. Just keep it moving, dude. >> I'm just letting >> No, you don't need to let me know, dude. I could I could read. I could read. I could read. Shut the up. >> All right. >> Piece of you. >> Yeah.

State property. I understand my assignment. Do you? Just mow the lawn, dude. Shut up and keep it moving. Or keep it mowing. Keep it mowing. >> Get back on your property. [Music] >> You're trespassing on public property. >> Amidst the frantic orders and requests to show ID, a single question rang out. What crime am I suspected of? And the answer left everyone stunned. >> Yeah, I understand. >> Someone's concerned. That's all. >> Concerned? You mean like suspicious? >> Let's call it what it is, right? I'm just making sure you're okay. >> Why?

What's your badge number? >> 3298. >> 3298. >> Somebody was at a bus stop filming people going by. So, I was just coming out just to make sure everything was good. >> Yeah. >> That's all.

Or you can call supervisor and you can kick rocks after. >> Okay. Fourth >> Amendment. I have committed absolutely no crime. I've never stepped on that property. Then the only time you can get my ID is if I'm driving or if I've committed a crime and under arrest. >> Am I detained? I didn't ask for a supervisor. I said if you're going to demand ID and threaten me with an arrest, then you can call a supervisor. >> I'm not I'm not threatened. >> Am I detained? I'm detained >> at this moment. Yes, >> I'm detained. For what crime? >> You don't have to be detained for >> Yes, you do. It's reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime. What crime do you >> What crime do you suspect me have committed? in order to detain somebody. >> Can you just No, you're not. >> This is not a colleial conversation anymore. I'm now illegally being detained for absolutely nothing wrong. >> No, you're investigating me for absolutely no crime. You can't even articulate what crime I've possibly committed. >> Sir, we got to call for service. >> That doesn't You understand that? >> Done here. You can go. >> No, I am done. I've been done with you. If I walk away, are you going to throw me a c? As threats were made and police faced charges of unlawful detention, things seemed like they could explode at any moment. >> Take you to federal court over it if we have to. >> Can I get your name? >> No, you cannot document. >> No. Can I get yours? Let me see your ID. >> Let me see your ID. I'll let me see your identification. I'll give you mine. >> That's the deal. You give me yours, I'll give you mine. If you're gonna continue uh illegally detaining me, then yeah, because you're >> So, I suggest you just let me go about my on a public sidewalk. I've done nothing wrong. >> I don't care. I am not I'm not free to move anymore. >> Well, I have to figure out what's going on. >> I'm recording on public property. >> I don't know. What are you recording? >> Anything I can see out here right now, it's you. >> That's fine. >> I know it's fine. >> Great. I've seen it before. >> Well, trust me, I'm not >> I don't trust police. They lie. And the Supreme Court's ruled that you're allowed to. You're completely lying to me. You're detaining me illegally. I've cited the the law. Okay. T Ohio. There's several case laws that you cannot just detain somebody for suspecting them of no crime. >> Nothing. Do you suspect me of? >> No. >> Is it lawyer? Hold on. Let's go through them. Is it disorderly conduct? >> This is what I'm trying to figure out. Okay. This is why I'm out here. >> I'm done and I'm walking away. No. >> I don't want to speak with anybody. I want to be free and on my way to record and exercise my rights. Dude, I don't hang out with pigs like you who detain people for no crime. >> Okay, like I said, we got a call about you. We're just trying to figure out what's going on. That's >> There's nothing going on. There's nothing going on. I'm out here exercising my constitutional rights and this piece of it's telling me I'm detained and he can't even articulate the crime that he suspects me of, which is illegal. >> Finally, after a series of tense arguments, the police were forced to release the man and retreat. The incident showed the dangers of police abuse, illegal detention, baseless demands for ID, unreasonable threats. >> He's okay. He's okay. You drive a shame, you piece of There it is. Officer right there. Not too bad. Civil. The other officer and the sergeant, he threatened me with uh crossing the street. Meanwhile, those two goons were doing the same thing. So, rules for thee, but not for me. I'm not getting cited for pedestrian of the roadway today, guys. Cuz then that would mean he gets my ID and all that crap. So, we're not going to go down that road, literally. But these fools over here, unreal. Look at them. Look at them. You're okay to record, but don't go on the property. They stalk me left and right.
