You want to take pictures of the tank? >> That's [ __ ] >> Austin Police Department springs into action. But who is really breaking the law? 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 a first amendment protected activity. >> We committed >> taking photographs of a national security >> 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.

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. >> Keep talking. >> Wow. You're a tough guy. >> Security. >> You're a tough guy, huh? >> We're on 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.

You're trying to violate my rights right now, bro. 911. >> Watch my channel. >> Yeah, there's a couple of channels. >> I know that that's a good one. I like that one. Audit to audit. That's a good channel. That's why you should know, man. If you watch them, you should know. I'm I'm disappointed, man. I'm dis It's not all that simple, though. >> I'm so disappointed in you. There you go. You were disappointed in you. >> I'm disappointed in my >> disappointed in you. >> So, this guy's a fan of of quote unquote audits. He watches channels like Audit the Audit and he still thinks this is illegal and has a problem with it. Yeah. Let's stop walking up. Stop walking up. >> Yeah, I know. But I want to just I want to start 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 our information >> Yeah, we're on public property taking pictures. That's a first amendment protected activity. >> On the fence. That means beyond the fence, correct? >> Ask us any more questions. Let me get my lawyer down here. >> We're not answering any more questions. >> We can only answer the same question so many times. >> Asking any question. >> What was it? that I already invoked.

If you guys all violate our rights, you're all getting sued. This is insane. >> 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? >> How are you? >> Good. Can I get your name, please? >> I'm sorry. >> Can I get your name, please? >> Uh, I am Sergeant B from Boston Police Department. May I have your name? Thank you. >> 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 the sergeant. 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, two, three, four, five cruisers here. Five cruisers, five cops for a lawful activity. I kind of want to walk all down there and just wait for them. But when my anxiety goes high, let's keep walking. My my this camera dead just it was just about dead. So I shut it off so it didn't run out at the wrong time. He started writing down what we were wearing. So dude, you got us on camera. He didn't want to wait. Yeah, he gave 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. >> It's not illegal to drink. Okay. You had one beer. You said >> zero. >> Zero before you said one. >> 22 mark one now in custody and started the hospital. >> The words began to stammer. The answers changed constantly. But what made the policeman suspicious was not the voice but something else. >> Where you coming from? >> I came from So here I was right at castways. >> Yeah. Castway. Okay. >> Yeah. watching the Bears game. >> Okay. >> I know. >> How much you had to drink? >> Okay. >> Nothing at all. >> No. >> Wait. Just give me a second. Can you put your hands on the string?

And just stand heel to toe. >> You got to touch heel to toe cuz your your feet here touch. >> Can you touch the toe of your foot against the heel toe of your left against the heel of your right? >> In the end when asked, "Do you think you should drive tonight?"

No mandatory minimum if BAC greater than equals 0.16% mandatory $5000 cents fine and minimum 100 hours of community service. While the police appeared 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 a narcotics train. >> See him adjust anything. 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. >> Okay. >> Uh where do you you live in No Forest? Yeah. >> 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? >> My name is Deputy Asens with the Lake County Sheriff's Office. Do you know the reason why I'm pulling you over? >> No. When you came to the stop at that light right back there, you were like half your car was over the car the white line when I was driving. No, be when you were going straight. No, that's okay. >> I was looking at the turning uh license. Oh, >> okay. >> No, gotcha. >> Oh, is that where you're going? >> Where are you coming from? Chipotle. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh where do you do you live in Oak Forest? >> Yeah. >> Okay. What brings you up to Gren? >> Um I was actually going up to Milwaukee because >> Oh, a 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? The >> police kept stressing Mr. Patient'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 professional paintball. It's my brain. Is Is it any good? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You ever heard of Infamous Paintball? >> No. >> No. >> No. I play though mainly airsoft. Um but >> you never have you ever heard of HK Army or any of those brands? >> No. >> Those are like the big boys on that show. >> Oh, for sure. >> Okay. I can I can pull it up if I want. >> Okay. I just want to verify the van. Make sure that obviously we have a lot of cars up here today. >> Yeah. >> I'll come around the van if you want. >> I'll I'll come around that side. I'll be right back. 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. Bro, >> it's it's not right. >> Wait. >> So, in all honesty, bro, I can see. >> Yeah, you can go ahead. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm okay. I was over the line at a stoplight and pulled me over. I have my insurance card for uh the intended but not for the Jeep. >> Okay. >> All right. because you're extremely nervous and I don't want you come out with me. >> So, like I said, just come out. It's all good. >> Okay. >> 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 right now. Face away from me. >> No. practically. We can go ahead and just lean on the hood of the car. That's all. I'm going to get started on his tickets. Um he's a little while he's holding his phone. Um so I got to get started on it. Just hang out right here. Okay, bro. >> That's correct. >> Is there anything in the vehicle? >> No. Okay. What I'm going to have you do is walk around the pants of yourself. Let me walk around. Just put your hands on the side of the car and don't move. Okay. Go. Go ahead and open the door. >> You're 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. Okay. 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 ingest anything? And then, you know, he's got >> other problems. >> Other problems. You know what I'm saying? >> Let me go. You want to ask him real quick before we put him in there? >> All right, S. Listen real quick. Uh my partner over here um told me that the K9 indicated on a lot of different spots in your car. So what the dog is trained? I I'll let him kind of talk about that. >> Right. 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 substance, >> he's very comfortable saying that there's nothing in there. >> There's a a bait 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 passcode then? >> Uh I don't want you I think he did email you something. >> Is that your paintball gear? Okay. Okay. Give me one second. I'll be right back. >> 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. doorboard is indicated on that and then these packages in the back. So I'll >> apparently he indicated on that couple places throughout the vehicle to include these packages in the background. 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 uh I'm sure it's fun to visit. Oh, you're like south south. Yeah, I stay in the city. >> Oh, okay. How long did it take you to drive up here? I'll be right back. >> Large box. There's a significant amount of marijuana. Looks like um some type of mushrooms. There's a Tupperware container. I didn't pull it open yet. Um tell bubble wrap taped shut. I'll I'll dig into it now. I don't know if you just want to >> Yeah, I'm working on bring down. I'll take a look at that a little bit further. You don't know if she can or not. I got one. I'll get started. I'll take one out. >> So, yeah, if you don't mind. He doesn't have any other cell phones other than the one I took off. >> There's another one in his bag. >> I'll take it, too. >> In the bag. >> Anything in the back? >> Possibly. >> That was in the center console. >> Yeah, I did see that when I was >> I mean, it's significant amount. >> And then this was uh he indicated on his pack. >> That's the other photo on >> that's in there. Give it a whole thing. I'll take a look at it. I'll let you uh call. I'll hold you. No problem. Appreciate it. >> Police showed signs of abuse of power, nitpicking over minor mistakes, setting up sniffer dogs, and 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 this situation?
