I >> Well, I didn't hear you answer that. >> Lift driver was stopped by police in the middle of the street just because he didn't respond fast enough. >> What you doing for a reason? Okay. >> What's the reason? >> This is a dark silver Honda Accord though. >> No matter No matter Silver >> I was driving lit. >> Of course you just watch it. and watch me for it. >> When a reasonable explanation was not enough, the police started to get angry and threatened to turn a small matter into a big one. A technology driver was working normally when suddenly his car was stopped for an unexpected reason. >> I was driving lift. So where where I was coming from, I can't really tell you because that's somebody else's personal crib. >> Okay. >> Regardless of anything, >> it's not a traffic stop. Why? >> Why? But why? Why? The investigation >> domestic violence, right? >> They found no evidence but tried to extract personal information from an innocent person. When they received no answer, a cold sentence rang out, starting a power play. >> What's up? >> What's up? >> You tell me. >> What's the reason? >> And I explain myself. >> So, what's the reason? >> Okay, I'll pull you off cuz there was a domestic that went down in this vehicle. Silver Honda Accord. >> This is a dark silver Honda Accord. And I'm not doing domestic violence because you stopped me and I'm middle driving lift. So how could I be in the domestic violence? >> I was just asking. I see you don't got no female in here. I was just doing >> bro. So >> I can get back to work. So I'm coming from dropping somebody off and going and pick somebody else up. >> I'm saying where you dropped them off at. >> If I wasn't in a domestic, there's no female in the car, right? >> Yeah. >> So that would say that I'm apparently doing something. And why does that even matter? >> What street, son? >> Why does that matter? I'm trying to see what street you came from. Which >> does that matter? I pulled you over. >> Ain't Wasn't you just right there where you pulled up and then you seen me coming down uh dark silver Honda Accord? >> Don't matter. It don't matter. Still silver. >> I was driving lift. So where where I was coming from? I can't really tell you because that's somebody else's personal crib. >> Okay. >> Regardless of anything which you walk up and just said and I'm showing you an active ride. >> All right. Cool. Stand by. Can you just watch me? and >> watch me for it. >> Are you aware of the aware of the situation? >> I don't care about it. >> Ain't got nothing to do with me. I should have grabbed some napkins at that. >> This ain't even a traffic stop. >> Who's the person you dropped off? The last person. What's her name? >> I I can't even tell you that. >> Don't make this more difficult. >> I can't tell you that. This isn't a traffic stop, so why am I being held up like this? The driver protested, but only received threats and excuses. And then every little defect on the car began to be picked apart. >> You're talking >> the area that you were in cuz I seen you pull up, right? And the domestic violence was in this area, right? I was not even in this area. I was I can't I can't tell you because once the ride is over, I don't have the information. >> You don't have This is not a traffic stop. It's not a traffic stop. Why? Why? But why want Why >> this traffic stop? >> How does the investigation knowledain? >> Domestic violence, right? >> Domestic violence, right? >> I'm telling you.

Yo, >> giving I just gave you two things right there. >> This is literally they tell us to do this for safety. >> It's still illegal. >> So don't mean it's not legal. >> That just makes no sense though cuz it's like you want to bother somebody that's telling you the truth. >> Can you uh show me anything of saying or showing that there is a domestic violence in the area? >> You think that we will come to your car? I don't trust none of y'all, especially after this right here. I would never trust you. >> That's fine. You think >> Yeah. I wouldn't believe you lie to me. >> I don't really care if you do or don't. >> All right. Then >> is there any evidence of the domestic violence you speak of? The question seems simple, but the answer is a shake of the head. >> Do you think we're going to pull you over and make up a story? >> The way she the way she just did it for various things. >> The way she just did it. I don't know how she was domestic violence. It was actually somebody call and send a mail trying to force her into the car. >> Then why she say domestic violence then? >> That's how that's how our casting works. That's it.

Like there's nothing there for me to be like, "Yo, this person there's no address. There's no name. There's just this the area that I was in." And the silver Honda Accord. Was it a small one? Did they say a year? >> No, for silver Honda. >> That's wild. I mean, most people know these are easy bodies. This a 2015 2010 you see around here a lot. Then you got like the 99 you see around here a lot. A lot of people like to have a 99 Honda. >> You think the common person knows that? >> Uh uh I'm downtown. Somebody so-called tried to push somebody in a car and they had a Honda Accord. So they pulled me over. >> Ar you how long is it going to take? >> I don't know. I mean, like I said, they pulled me over cuz they think or they somebody in the same type car apparently tried to force somebody into a car. >> I refuse to cancel the ride cuz I'm not trying to be late to work. >> I can't cancel it. If you want to cancel it, you would have to cancel it. >> No, I can't cancel it cuz it's going to make you uh stay again.

They ain't got nothing to do with that. >> You going to say continue working. >> Have a good night. >> You too, bro. >> [ __ ] silly [ __ ] >> The incident demonstrates abuse of power, violation of privacy, and failure to follow standard legal procedures when there is no legitimate reason for an in-depth administrative check. There was no arrest, but the police action may constitute citizen harassment and should be monitored. Next, a seemingly normal border checkpoint is revealed to have a hidden purpose under the guise of checking citizenship. People start filming and things are about to get out of hand. >> Was that >> I I answered you before I even rolled the window down. I >> Well, I didn't hear you answer that. I can't tell. This thing looked like the window was up. Are you United States citizen? >> My fault, sir. I just like to be on my way United States citizen. I I just like to be on my way. >> The glass door was cracked open just a little. The answer was given, but the police still wouldn't let it go. The longunning standoff began. Who was really breaking the law here? >> How you doing, sir? >> I'm doing good. >> Oh, United States citizen, sir. >> I I just answered that before I even rolled the window down. >> Was that I answered you before I even rolled the window down. I >> Well, I didn't hear you answer that cuz the window was up. It was up. >> Are you United States citizen, sir? >> I already answered you. I don't think I have to answer more than once. I'd like to just be on my way. >> It's loud. There's a lot of trucks, sir. Are you a United States citizen, sir? I >> I'd like to be on my way. >> Sir, are you a United States citizen, sir? >> I'd like to be on my way. I answered your question once. I I don't want to talk to you. I didn't make it noisy. I didn't make it noisy outside for you. Somebody else did. That's not my problem. It's not my fault, sir. I just like to be on my way. >> United States citizen, sir. >> I I just like to be on my way, sir. May I go? >> Sir, you're stopping traffic right now. >> I'm not trying to stop traffic. You just Can I go? >> No. You're going to park right there. And so, that's so you answer a question. It's going to be right then. I'm going to park right there and somebody will meet you there outside. All right. >> By that ladder right there? >> Yes, sir. >> That's where you want me to park. Yes, sir. >> Hold traffic. >> I have answered. The people firmly kept silent in accordance with their right, but the police did not accept that the law is being bent right at the border. >> I'm not going to sit here and repeat myself over and over and over again. >> He's telling me that you wouldn't answer the question. >> I did answer the question. I told him I answered the question. He says he can't hear. I don't want to speak to you guys. I answered your question. I'd like to be on my way. >> Somebody come here. You okay? If you didn't answer the question to him, sir, you're going to stay here until you answer the question. >> I did answer the question. I I'm done done talking. You know, if I'm under arrest or if I'm being detained, do what you got to do. I'll comply with any lawful order you give me. It's not my fault. It's noisy outside. You know, if if that's a problem for you guys, you should do something about it. >> Problem to answer a quick question again. Do you want to put yourself in a situation where you're going to have to sit here and sit here when you can just answer a simple question? I'm just doing what the Supreme Court says we should do. They said citizens should not answer questions from law enforcement. >> You're going to continue to detain me even though I already answer spikes in front of your vehicle. You're not going to be able >> Well, that I'm not going anywhere till you tell me I can go. >> I'm a law-abiding citizen. >> That's the question. >> It's not my fault that the safety litter is driving by when you try to talk to me. I >> I understand. Okay. It's just frustrating, you know, that >> it's frustrating to us because look, it's a very simple question and it's not a lot to ask for you to answer that question. >> I already answered the question. I only have to answer it one time. >> Okay. Well, you let get somebody's attention when you're ready to to talk to me, but in the meantime, >> can you get the spikes? >> I said you don't need spikes. I'm not going anywhere until you tell me I can go. I I I don't break the law. >> When all arguments were no longer valid, people turned to hot dogs and apple pie to answer. The checkpoint now turned into a strangely tense battle of wits. >> You know, I got a camera right there that says I did. >> No. >> Hold on. Wait for this truck to go by. >> You said you had answered the question. I cannot hear you. It's very noisy with the 18-wheelers. I have to establish theship and hear you tell me. Just cuz you said you told me and I didn't hear you, >> I didn't hear you. That's why I asked. >> Play it back with me. >> I You can't play it back without my computer. Why are you being so difficult? I I'm not being difficult. I just want my rights respected. >> Were you born in the United States? >> I just want my rights respect point. I have the right to remain silent. I'm going to exercise my right to remain arrested. >> You're being detained. You're not arrested yet. >> Okay. I'd like to have an attorney present during any question. >> You get somebody's attention when you sometimes whenever you feel like you want to go down the road, right? >> I understand. sieges, spike strips, cops swarming in for an unsatisfactory answer. Simple behavior now blown up into a national threat. But who is the real threat? >> Heard you say, "I love baseball. I love >> No, you didn't get it right. Wait, wait, wait. You didn't get it right. I love baseball, apple pie, hot dogs, and Chevrolet. San, >> why is it so hard? Should you be proud to say that? >> I mean, I I would I What is it difficult? Why is it so difficult for me to say that? >> You know, you don't need all these guys here. I'm not armed. >> Yeah. >> I'm just going to go over here and sit and wait for you guys to do what you got to do. >> So, what's the real problem? >> I I don't have a problem. My my issue is that it should not have to come in here. >> I mean, you can see the noise, right? You know, it it we can't hear stuff. It even affects our hearing, you know, long term. Um, I just don't see why I mean why it's so difficult to disre but legally the checkpoints are here for that purpose and it's already you guys are supposed to be within 50 mi of the border. I'm not challenging that you're here. >> I'm not I'm not bitching about you being here and that I shouldn't have to repeat myself over and over again. Supreme Court says that we should not speak to you guys because law enforcement this day and age has a bad habit of twisting our words around in order to arrest us. >> How could we possibly? >> So So you're telling me you love baseball, apple, Chevrolet, >> baseball, hot dog? >> So you're telling me you're US citizens? >> Really?

He called for stricter control of border patrol agents and vowed to continue reporting to raise public awareness. >> So, you're going to arrest me? >> I'm detaining you >> because you're not listening to what I'm saying. Do not be resistant towards me. >> It all started with a phone call. Someone was arrested, but no one said why. Well, I'm still doing an investigation cuz if you're recording me, mine I'm still recording, too. So, it's okay. I'm doing an investigation of any suspicious person. >> A suspicious person. Have I broken any laws? >> It doesn't. >> You can't arrest me. Arrest me right now. If you want to go here, turn around. >> Stop in right now. >> No, you're under arrest. >> Under arrest for what? >> You didn't stop when we asked you to. >> Okay. >> From the outset, the police admitted that they did not know who the person reported was and were merely trying to verify the information. an action that started from ambiguity and lacked legal basis. >> Long detail on the subject. I didn't know if the car I wanted to meet so I could get a better description or last known direction of this unknown person. That's good. Police approach people on the pretext that someone finds you suspicious. This is not just a simple encounter, but a big question about freedom, prejudice, and power. 55 go with that male in the 5700 block of Aspen.

Why would anybody Why would someone call it in? >> That's that's their concern. >> So, their concern, >> listen, I'm I'm recording right now because this police officer just walked up on me saying I'm a suspicious person. He was going to detain me for whatever reason. No threats, no dangerous behavior, but still restrained. People claim innocence. Police still handcuffed.
