Why are they Why are they allowed to? >> 6 going to be in Milwaukee stating that somebody stole a wallet out of his room last night. >> With just one camera and a request for transparency, things suddenly turned into a tense confrontation. >> I have every right to record. >> That's fair. If you watch my videos, you know I'm here for government transparency and accountability. >> Great. I just don't want you to make the same mistake you made last time, Sergeant, cuz you arrested me last time, right? >> Cold corridors, closed doors. Behind seemingly normal rules are secrets waiting to be revealed. >> Their offices upstairs and they they let me in and when they found out I was recording, they closed the door on me. I'm clear. I don't want you to put me in a dungeon like you did last time. >> An ordinary citizen carrying only a camera suddenly became the center of tension in the government building. Can you explain why you're doing that? >> Sure. Yeah. I'm I'm an independent journalist. My name is Is this like a general sheriff's office or >> they do civil enforcement? >> And I just want to make it very clear that if I'm told to leave under threat of arrest, >> harsh words rang out. A security guard, a citizen filming, and then the prohibition orders began to be thrown out. But were they the law? >> I have every right to record. >> Can you explain why you're doing that? >> Sure. Yeah. I'm I'm an independent journalist. My name is Sean. doing it to get you likes on YouTube >> to a member of the public. Ma'am, >> I would never say anything like that. >> You That's why I record. So now I can expose you. >> Get off the god. >> Is that a way for a public sp public servant to speak to a member of the public? Ma'am, you don't tell me where I can stand. I'm here asking questions about my government. >> I'm going to call you back in a second. >> Coming and asking questions about your government. >> Illegal. >> There's nothing illegal about recording, ma'am. Wow. So, this situation escalated very quickly here. This is what happens when you come to the Nassau County. How you doing? Nice to see you. >> You, too. >> Um, I just wanted to know what what services do you offer to the public here? >> Um, >> is this like a general sheriff's office or >> we do civil enforcement?

It was a It was a It was a bad situation, but hopefully we can get that rectified in the court. >> Well, >> all right, sir. >> Good to see you. >> I'll visit you again. >> Thanks. >> All right. Thank you, sir. >> The officer who had ordered the arrest earlier returned. The entire building held its breath. Would history repeat itself or would the truth be revealed this time? I'm just trying to peacefully Hold on. I just want to >> Okay. >> get get everybody in the uh the video here. Sergeant, um I know you ordered my arrest last time, but I'm hoping that you you know do a little bit of thinking before you act this time and not arrest me just for engaging in >> Did you just want to hang out and record? >> Well, I'm what I'm really trying to do is record, but I'm trying to also do this foil request to me. I need to uh contact the Nassau County Department of Information Technology. Okay. I have a foil request for them for some public records. >> Were you able to get that information? >> Their office is upstairs and they they let me in and when they found out I was recording, they closed the door on me and refused to help me. >> Let me let me help you out with that. Let me figure that out. >> So, I'm not I'm not detained or >> uh not as of now. Give me a minute. >> Okay, great. I just don't want you to make the same mistake you made last time, Sergeant, cuz you arrested me last time. Numbers, officers, please. >> Sure. Officer [ __ ] 295. >> Thank you, Officer [ __ ] >> 48. >> Thank you, officer. We can go together. >> You enjoy your day >> today? Yeah. >> All right. Good. >> The day that you put me in a cell wasn't too enjoyable for me. >> I wouldn't go that far. I don't think that's a fair assessment of what happened. >> I am now. You put me in a jail cell. >> I was recording in public and you threw me in a cell. I was asking questions >> of my government. Sounds like something out of straight out of like North Korea or something. >> That's a discussion for a later date. right now. >> Throw in somebody, a journalist, into a cell because they're asking questions about the government, you know. >> So, that's the woman we spoke to before who kicked us out of the office. >> Tensions peak when the legal process drags on unreasonably. Ambiguous rules, shadowy threats, and a system that seems to be working against transparency. giving you your opportunity, sir, to tell to say if you if I don't leave here, you're going to arrest me and then I'll leave. >> It's going to be dependent on what how they want to proceed with this. Okay. >> All right. >> So, I'm going to wait in line like everybody said here as soon as you tell me. So, I want to be clear. I don't want you to put me in a dungeon like you did last time. >> I'm just saying the minute I want to make it clear, officer, >> I'm being nice as well. I just want to wait in line like everybody else and hand in my document. That's all. And I just want to make it very clear that if I'm told to leave under threat of arrest, I will leave. can actually bring the clerk outside here to help you finish all your paperwork and sit. >> Sir, do you see do you see how many cameras are in this? >> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 in this direction. >> Those are cameras that you go into like any other building. But it's different when there's someone put a camera in your face. I think it just makes people >> Well, I don't want to put it in anybody's face. I just want to it's documenting >> be really reasonable with you and try to accommodate you and your like desire to record. So, what they're doing is they're saying, "Hey, listen. What's wrong with government transparency, sir? >> So, what they trying to do is say, "Hey, come that side." >> What's wrong with it? This is public. If I could see it, I should be able to record it. I'm not in a restricted area. >> Trying to be really nice with you. Hold on one second. >> I'm just trying to stand up for my rights. The same rights that you swore an oath to uphold, sir. That's clerk's here and been done with it. >> First, >> yeah, correct, sir. >> You have a YouTube channel. >> Excuse me. >> Just report on what's going on in our government buildings and, you know, try and hold them accountable. Do open records requests. seen videos like that before. Yeah. Who wouldn't be for transparency, right? It just doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't you be for transparency? >> When the government's not for transparency, that's when things are going to go down rope, right? And they going to take control of what we're doing and, you know, hide things from from us. >> After 2 hours of confrontation, an unexpected turn of events occurred. But the story does not end there. A promise of further investigation has just been made. What truth is about to be revealed? Your hand is shaking. Are you okay, sir? Y >> that's your right to record me. We're in public, >> bro. I watch you guys on YouTube. You're in a You're in public, bro. Then you can film and you [ __ ] >> It's like you we're filming right now, right? >> Does that make Does that make you an auditor? >> So, I can I can protect myself and snuff you. >> But you won't. >> You think so? >> I know. So, you won't. >> People like you to get snucked out yet. >> It's a matter. >> Still waiting for that day. Still waiting. Didn't happen. >> Wait till I walk back to my car. Is that a threat? >> That's a threat, huh? >> Yeah. >> Why can't you do it here? Let me put down my uh my folder. >> What? Do you hate transparency in the government? Is that that what this is about? >> I'm good luck making it home tonight. >> Good luck making it home tonight. >> This is what I did. Half of that stuff is going to send a little package. >> Excuse me, ma'am. >> If you're filming me, I'm not helping you, sir. Sorry. >> If I'm filming, you're not helping me. I'm just looking >> I'm here to submit a foil request. Ma'am, I was told that the foil officer >> Are you taping me? >> I'm recording the >> 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. The story shows abuse of power in public agencies when illegally banning filming, procedural corruption when deliberately delaying foil rights. Up next, in the middle of a seemingly peaceful street with just a camera, a tense confrontation with the police suddenly erupted. >> No, it's my rights. I know. >> No, no, no. I know that like you could take pictures in public. It is publicly accessible to walk up and down this road all day long as long as I don't go on their physical properties. And I'm not even committing a crime. I mean, I'm not doing anything except recording. >> In the middle of a seemingly peaceful filming session, suddenly a police call rang out. Illegal entry, refusing to leave. But is the truth as simple as what has just been reported? >> What do you mean? Who are you? >> Who am I? >> Yeah. >> Just regular Press and Wash. >> Oh, me too. >> I've seen you guys before, that's why. >> Oh, all right. >> Are you guys Press New Hampshire or you someone else? >> What is it? >> Looks similar to people that do Press New Hampshire. >> Press New Hampshire. What the hell is that? >> The same thing. They go around auditing, >> getting a reaction of people. >> No, we just we we >> were you guys hoping I was a cop or hoping I was? >> Yeah. No, I mean, we're just taking pictures. I mean, just we have uh we have like a blog. I I'm not going to give you that right now. Yeah. Hey, sorry. >> No, you're good, man. You're good. >> Where did the Where the hell did you come from? >> You didn't come from anywhere. >> I walked all the way down the road, man. I just my walk on exercise right now. I'm like, these guys must be trying to look for an audit right now. >> No. >> No. What? >> I was just showing signs >> like auditors like like tax not auditors like >> to leave. Are you going to leave? >> Well, I I do know like >> Exactly. No, it's my rights. I know. >> No, no. I know that like you could take pictures in public. You shouldn't be bothered for it. >> Confused. Can you take pictures and videos on private property though? >> Yeah, I mean as long as you I guess. Yeah, I mean I asked them if I can go on the property. You know what I mean? But no, I mean they didn't answer me which is fine. I mean but no I mean we're just >> they haven't really talked to us. >> We're not we're not an auditor. >> Yeah. I mean that's kind of why I'm like oh see >> people people can I mean they people are allowed to take pictures. I mean people do it every day. You know what I mean? I just don't see that. There's cameras on buildings. You guys are doing an audit. >> Yeah. >> All right, man. Keep >> up. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. >> Four officers, including a sergeant, rushed to the scene based on a single report. Is this a normal reaction or is a power play about to unfold? >> Copy. >> I think he is the caller and I think he's acting stupid. So, you got a sergeant right there. >> Another unit. Three units. Four officers. That's crazy. At least they all parked correctly. That's nice. Then again, he may not be the caller. >> Yeah, there's a lot of private drives and private ways in Mass. Um, but they are open to the public and to be accessible to walk through. Um the only difference between private way and private drive and private property um and public property is the fact that they take care of the roads and the utilities and gas lines. Um that would be their responsibility of uh private property or private business on this road. Uh if that's even the case. It is Red Cliff Road in Tukesberry. It also goes all the way from up there and all the way down there to another public street. So, it does attach and that's what you would call a private way or private drive. >> The debate rages. Is this a public or private road? Who has the right to stay? A fine legal line between liberty and coercive order. >> How you doing? What's up? >> Um, can I just get your names and badge numbers, please? >> Yep. My name is Lauren Strong. Badge number 34. >> 34. Okay. And who's that? Who's that? >> McMahon. >> What is it? >> McMahon. >> McMahon. >> Why are there four offices here? Four cameras. Are you a field trainer? Yes. >> Nice, man. >> Yeah. So, consider it three. >> Yeah. Yeah. All right. >> Three and a half. >> Yeah. >> All right. We're not on the property. >> Okay. >> There's no trespassing signs, but that's irrelevant. I know where the property lines are. >> Okay. That's a false police report. All right. And three, they never asked us to leave. All right. And I think you guys need to do something about that. >> False police report or something. All right. Because now you guys are coming with three, four officers. Okay. You're being lied to. They're wasting resources and I'm not even committing a crime. I mean, I'm not doing anything except recording. I heard the radio. First Amendment auditors, but I don't see what the issue is here. I don't know what they told you inside, but from what I'm telling you, I have everything on on on camera. >> I'm going to be the owners. >> Are the owners? You stand over there. I'll talk to you. >> Yeah. So, McMahon, right? Is that McMahon? Okay. Sorry. I mean, we're not doing anything illegal, are we? >> So, we're talking to them. This is all private property, including >> Yeah. which is publicly accessible to walk through 100%. >> I'm not strong. I'm not in the building. Look, okay, I know the laws. I know the rights, okay? This is a publicly accessible road. I understand that. But there's public access from each end of the road that does not say private property. And it doesn't say private drive. The other difference between public property and a private drive, okay, is that they are to take care of the gas lines and utilities on the road, not the city. >> So, I totally understand where you're coming from. Yeah. >> Correct. But what I'm the information I'm getting from them that this is a private road. >> I'm not on their property. I'm not on their property. >> You guys are going to have to leave. >> We're going to have to get off this road, this public road. >> This private drive. >> Auditors bluntly challenged. If we are wrong, arrest us now. A tense moment when neither side would back down. >> You know who would have it? Is uh town hall or city hall. They'd have the GIS. >> How you doing? I got the name from them, but can I have it from you, please? >> McMahon. >> And badge number >> 41. Thank you. >> So, you can go to the police station if I report. That's something that you want to do. >> What kind of report am I following? I don't have anything to report. >> You just said you want to talk to >> Well, yeah, but I'm not going to be pushed off of this today. We're driving up and down this road. >> Why are they Why are they allowed to? >> Going to be in the lobby stating that somebody stole his wallet out of this room last night from 207, but he is in the lobby. What's your pleasure? >> Look, I'm not here to take any more of your resources, okay? But you got to understand one thing. >> Okay? And they don't work here either. >> Listen, I'm just trying to be the middle. >> But do you understand what I'm saying? >> Nope. And I do. I'm just trying. >> So, am I allowed to drive down this road? >> Nope. You are. >> Come on. I mean, think about it. >> No. And I completely understand where you're coming from, right? >> It's a It's a right away. >> Nope. And I get that. >> Oh, you get that. Okay. >> So, like I said, I'm talking talking to the owners of this building. They're saying obviously >> private property. >> I'm not going on it. >> I'm not I haven't even touched the grass. No. >> So, this is me asking you, can you please leave for them? >> Are you asking me? >> I'm asking you, can you please? >> No. I'm gonna if you're asking me and not giving me a lawful order, I'm going to respectfully decline. >> Okay, >> but I will be out of here in a few minutes. >> Okay, that's fine. That's fine. Like I said, just don't go near the building. Please >> look strong. Don't Okay, I mean, come on. You guys know what I'm doing here. >> Listen, I just want to be a voice for them and see if you guys wanted to leave. You guys stand over here like you guys were. >> You need to understand you got called out here, okay, for a false call. They said that they asked us to leave. never asked us to leave. >> The standoff ended in silence as those who had given the orders quietly withdrew. The incident exposed potential abuses of power when police easily believed one-sided information and lacked transparency in handling civilian reports. >> Incredible. Still lying. >> Incredible. That was a fail. That's a walk of shame and a half. >> I ain't walking shame. They are. >> Yes. >> Wow. That's how you challenge a private drive. >> Holy [ __ ] >> That's how you challenge a private drive, bro. >> You have to know your [ __ ] bro. >> Do not let power prevail over the law. for then today's silence will be tomorrow's regret.

Next, a former cop was banned from carrying a gun, but still brazenly approached a victim. And this time, nothing was overlooked. >> Once I get statements from the people who saw him up here, we're going to take a warrant for aggravated stalking. Okay. probably end up taking a aggravated stalking warrant out on you, man. >> On camera, so we're going to go from here with the warrants on him. All right. Is that okay? All right. Um, >> right in front of cameras and witness testimony. The former officer stomped on his protective order and the local police were ready to take action. >> I got me in all this mess with him in the >> You ain't really going to be able to. So, what uh what we're doing is my sergeant's getting the uh proof that he's been served and then another copy and I'm going to have you follow me down there once I get statements from the people who saw him up here. We're going to take a warrant for aggravated stalking. >> Did you see him up here? >> Yes, he was up here. He was meeting with my executive director and then she called me down to her office whenever um he was there cuz she was trying to hire him for and um he was here for a little while cuz he did his TOEFL test and something else. And this is this is her manager or Harrier's supervisor. >> So you didn't see him up here? >> Did you see Billy up here? >> No. >> Will you fill out a statement just stating you know what you saw and put about approximate time that you saw it. >> I just need your name, address. You can put your work address, work telephone, uh your date of birth. >> I didn't know she worked there. An excuse too late when he admitted everything right on camera. >> Hey, how how you doing? >> Good. So, uh, what was your reason for being up here at Rescare today? >> I got called for a job interview. >> Okay. And you do know that lives works here, correct? >> Uh, no, sir. She works at a She doesn't work at the main office. >> This is her employer. This is the main office. Your protection order says approaching within 200 yards of petitioner's immediate family, residence, or place of employment. This is her place of employment or school. >> What? >> Okay. Well, she wasn't there at the time. >> It does not matter. It says within 200 yards of her, her family residence or place of employment. It does not say her and her place of employment at the same time. >> Okay. >> You were served this paperwork, were you not? >> Yes, I was. >> Okay. All right, Crib. So, I'm going to tell you right now what's going to happen, man. We're going to get all the paperwork from the courts as well. We'll probably end up taking a aggravated stalking warrant out on you, man. I'll be in touch with you. I'll let you know what happens and when you need to turn yourself in on that warrant. All right. >> Okay. You you do aware of I'm the victim in this whole matter. That the district attorney has called me and said I was the victim in this whole thing. I don't understand how I'm getting charges. >> Okay. That does not matter. The petitioner is it was placed by the >> facing charges of aggravated stalking. He stayed close to his victim every night. Was the law strong enough to protect her? >> And he knows he knew how to get me in trouble. He's getting me back for him getting fired. But he lied. See, back in September, him, you know, I had to deal with that before when he lied in April and said that he told and admitted the cops that never happened. So, I don't know what happened cuz all the cops admitted it, talked to me about it, got messages with the cops, everything. But he's friends with the sheriff. They're in the middle of dealing with it right now. I have arranged it for him today, but I got but my son did heard it and I had to tell the cops. So, I thought that'd be enough. But him having the friends he has in the small town. I got all the evidence to relieve me of this. I ain't worried about it. >> I just spoke to him on the phone on camera. So, we're going to go from here with the warrants on them. All right. Uh I just got to make a copy of your your form. I'll give it to you. I'll give you a case number and everything. Okay. For this incident. All right. Um yeah, just meet me down there. Okay. Victim in this. He he stated that the order was issued against the wrong person. I said, "Oh, you know how it works, man." [Applause] >> I say, "Yeah, I got a cop, too." >> I told him he know he he knows how it works. He said it was issued against the wrong person. I said, "Well, issued by the superior court against >> time he was terminated from here >> because he provided a cop his own copy. He provided it to commander right before." I have every piece of evidence from for myself to live my crap that he caused for me and to prove what he's done wrong. I'm a little concerned, you know, we're actually neighbors, man. It's not a situation I want. I'm stuck there. Like, I was married to someone else when I met him and I signed everything over to someone. >> Investigated for 2 years now. The consequences are knocking on the door. A call from the post board marks the end of a once hidden police career. You might be at Target and I don't know if they can give me an incident report or not yet. >> Have to ask clerk for a copy of any report. >> I'm a little worried just because we are really close by each other and if I could just move I would have but I address >> um are they going to that my address? >> No the address of the incident target. >> It should be December 6th this happened cuz >> Are you on Coppers? >> Yeah. search uh Billy Crib and then Billy Crib Jr. should be at the bottom of the list. Yeah. And then click uh the um incences and it should be only like three things there. It should be the one in there. Wait, you already have that one up? >> No, it didn't pull up that way. But by the top of his name, I think this is it. >> Yep. >> Yeah, I just looked up. >> If you want to just Do you want a copy of it? >> No. Yes, sir. There's nothing written now. >> Anything else you have to go to open record like to get the supplemental you have to fill out a open record form. It takes about 3 to five business days with that date of birth number. Only thing I'll be able to give you is the front copy. >> Hello. >> But I will ask later. Citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights. Pursuant to 42US Code SS1983, the individual/organization may be required to pay restitution to the injured party. In severe or intentional cases, punitive damages may be ordered. Additionally, the court may order the losing party to pay the plaintiff's attorney fees and litigation costs. Opposed by court, the attorney fees SS18839. The court may order the losing party to pay pliff's attorney fees and litigation. The case ended with the police committing to file a case to obtain an arrest warrant for crib and the victim being given a case number and legal assistance. This is clear evidence that abuse of power and internal coverups can be prosecuted if there is evidence and persistence in reporting. [Music]
