This office is closed. It's >> all right. I ain't leaving. With just a push of a panic button, the government immediately shut down the door to justice, calling the police as if this were a serious crime.

So, if you feel uncomfortable about it, talk to the officer about your emotions and feelings and go to the private subject. >> I was very polite with you. >> I was polite with you and you got rude with me. >> Not polite with me, sir. You were not polite. >> No. You know what? Respect is earned. >> How you doing? Okay.

They cannot close it to the public. They're open 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. They can't close these doors to the public.

It's going to have to answer to over 200,000 people. That'll be interesting. What are they running out back? >> Yeah, they're running out back. Dude, I've been doing this for too long to know. I know they're running out back >> because I have my body cam on. Mind if I go with you? >> No. >> I'd rather you not harass me and go about your days. >> Or I could turn this up notch on you guys. >> Threats, extreme tension, and even non-compliance with procedures are exposed right in front of the camera. Who is really breaking the law here? >> They can't do that. They cannot do that. They're getting paid by tax dollars. Okay. They can't just leave because they're uncomfortable. They can't do that, man. Oh, you're the chief, huh? The head of the snake, huh? You don't even want to identify yourself. I bet you it's in your own policy you wrote, though. You get a business card.

And your department. Uh-huh. Wait till you get the phone calls and email. >> When the doors are locked, the truth is hidden. Hundreds of thousands of people are watching and preparing to act. Can those who fear the light of transparency escape the consequences? >> So I'd rather have those conversations and just let you chief know that that we weren't out here going back and forth like me and him. >> It was total opposite. Why? Because I give you respect just like you've given me. You be safe out there. Okay. >> Seriously, you too. You guys are okay and I appreciate your respect. Seriously, it's all I want. Okay. Yes, sir. >> All right. Have it going. >> Have a good day. >> What is that? >> K was all right. He's a fan. Look at those administrative offices. >> Adrien Lawson. Adrien Lawson. Huh?

Pursuant to 42US 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. Pressnh now urges the community to email and call Niceville authorities to demand transparency and accountability. The incident could lead to internal investigations within the police department and city hall. Civil litigation for violation of constitutional rights, changes to body cam policy. Next, from the very first seconds, this seemingly simple question made a powerful figure reveal his discomfort and lack of transparency. I ask him, "How can I help you?" >> When you ask me how you could help me, it's just playing for Fourth Amendment. Man, >> that's fine. >> You know, my rights. Um, you know, I'm not trying to push any boundaries. >> As the truth gradually comes out, this man's true identity causes the whole building to explode, but he's still trying to hide something. >> That's your position? >> Yep. >> Do you work for the city? >> Yes. >> Okay. What do you do here? >> I do a lot of stuff. How can I help you? Well, if you do a lot of stuff, I mean, it's kind of limited on what you can help me with if I don't know exactly what you do. Like, what's your position here? >> What was your name? >> Oh, boy. Let me get you a business card. >> Thank you. I appreciate it. >> So, now can you tell me what you want? >> And you got it. >> You're the city manager. >> Yep. >> You do a lot of stuff, huh? >> Yeah, I do. You're being difficult about it. >> No, I'm not. I asked you a simple question. What? >> I asked you a simple question. >> Yeah. Okay. But that's not how this works. >> Oh, it's not. No, it's not. And he said, "I do a lot of stuff." >> After I ask you, how could I help you? >> Yeah, but I don't know how you could help me if you don't tell me what you do and who you are. Yeah. I don't think you very much help at all, actually. >> Okay. >> To be honest, and I don't think you should start a conversation off the way you did, especially with the member of the public >> by asking how can I help you >> when you ask me how you can help me from what you can help me with. But if you're like the janitor. Okay. And I don't know that >> janitors know a lot of stuff >> at all. Except for mopping the floor cleaning the bathroom. >> Okay. Now that we got >> Maybe that's what you should do instead of being a city manager. >> Maybe it is. >> Yeah, I think it is. >> Okay. >> Yeah. How do I go about doing a public records request foyer with you guys? >> A public record? >> Mhm. Do you guys have like a form or >> Sorry. >> Do you guys have a form? >> I can get you in contact with our city clerk. I can call her. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I just need a copy of a foyer request and then I could submit it. >> An emergency call causes three deputy police officers to suddenly appear and the truth about who dialed the emergency number shocks everyone. >> Hey, how's it going, man? >> Good. You? Hey, was that you on the other side of the parking lot? >> Nope. >> Oh, I saw Sheriff's Department uh vehicle over there. >> I just got here. >> Yeah, I figured you'd be here. >> Okay. >> Yeah, it's usually the typical go-to for them. >> I don't I don't want to chop it, man. >> You're good. >> Awesome. You got a body cam? >> Yeah, man. It's on. >> Where is it? Ah, there you go. So you don't have the actual >> What's your name? >> Uh yeah, that's right, man. Information. It's playing Fourth Amendment, man. >> That's fine. >> You know, >> what's going on today? Just hanging out. >> Well, hanging out would be loitering. I'm a straight shooter. >> Yeah. >> Um Yeah. No, I'm just doing city business. Uh looking around the building. I just asked him if I could look at the chambers real quick, you know. >> Um doing some public records requests. >> Sure. >> You know, stuff like that. Um you got a call for service? >> I did. >> What was it? Suspicious. >> Sure. >> Usually I've been doing this for a long time, man. I'm usually two steps ahead. I'm pretty familiar with it myself. So, okay. >> Yeah. >> With like what we do or what I do. >> Yeah. As long as you're not going to private private offices and stuff, we're good. >> Oh, we know this. I know this. I know that. Um I'm not here to disturb the business or stop them from working. Okay. >> Uh they may feel a little uncomfortable. >> Cameras are all around this place. I'm sure, you know, and um >> you're allowed to do what you're doing. >> Yeah. No, I I I don't need to be told that, unfortunately. They do. He was a little rude to me, which is typical of town managers, city managers sometimes, but I asked him, you know, uh he let me in. Uh he asked me if he could help me and I said, "Well, what do you do here?" And I said, "Well, I don't know what you could help me with if you don't tell me who you are and what you do." And he's like, "I do a lot of things." So >> that's how that started off. Like >> just curious. I have no vendetta against them. >> I just got a call from city hall. >> Yeah. >> So >> Okay. You know, >> cool. Cool. >> And uh >> Yeah. >> I mean, this this might be considered a private office. I don't know. Yeah, that's fine. >> All righty. >> The chambers. Thank you. I appreciate that. >> No transparency, huh? >> You don't Oh, really? Really, Mock? You called the police, huh? >> Instead of escalating the situation, a deputy did something unprecedented, turning the situation 180° and leaving the caller speechless. >> How does that work with the ranks? >> It's pretty much like a corporal. We don't actually have a corporal rank at this agency. So, it's just just field training officer. >> Yeah. How long you been training? >> Been on the post if you don't mind me asking. >> All in all, about 8 years. >> Eight years total with the sheriff's. >> Uh, I started in Alabama. Oh, >> okay. There you go. Yeah, I can hear the accent. >> Couple couple different >> uh just curious a little transparency. Um, what what was told in there? I I saw your CAD. I saw a suspicious person. >> So, they're not familiar with First Amendment. It seems like you're pretty educated on what you're allowed to do, what you're not allowed to do. Yeah, I mean I do I do, you know, push the limits a little bit, but I'm within the law, >> you know. Um, >> don't do that. Nobody's got no problem. >> No, no, no. I appreciate that. And, you know, these things can go so, you know, so many different ways. I don't want to take too much more of your time. I know you got probably better things out there to do. You know, either you guys try to enforce your feelings and emotions and try to vi, you know, possibly violate my rights and trespass me. This is all I want to see in policing. Um, you know, it breaks the divide with us and, uh, you know, >> makes a difference, right? >> It does show, you know, shows a lot of respect, you know, for the people and, you know, I I really appreciate that. So, >> you know, I think there's a reason why you're a training officer. Um, you know, I haven't met anybody else, but >> Okay. >> Seriously, I I respect that. You know, >> you're very educated. You're >> Yeah, I got one. >> Yeah. I think he's going to get me a card. Um, can I get your name, badge number, if you don't mind? >> Awesome. You got to appreciate that. >> Oh, man. Rip that thing off, man. That's a blue line flag. That's described red, white, and blue. You know that feeling off. No offense to to you personally, but I just I red, white, and blue is a flag, man. >> You know, not blue. It's that that's you know what you know what people interpret that as a divide with the people, you know. I don't take it personal. It's just >> There you go. >> I'd rather see a red, white, and blue. That's all, man. >> All right. >> So, you guys all set? >> Yes, sir. >> Yeah. Do you have a um call for service number? Just when it seemed safe, an employee was caught red-handed being lazy and ran away in disgrace, leaving behind a valuable lesson about transparency and responsibility. >> I got to call. I got to go. >> Oh, you've been here for a hour and a half to win nothing. You piece of You ain't got no call. You just got caught with your pants down. He's been out here for over an hour on the phone shooting the He ain't got no call, dude. Hilarious. Look at him. He just got a call. You got to keep up on these fools, man. I'm telling you. Telling you. And you know what's crazy is a call for service just initiated about a half hour, if not a little longer, right here. And he's been over here for over an hour. All right, everybody. So, that's going to be it over here today in the city of Freeport, Florida for our First Amendment audit at the city hall. Uh, it wasn't straightforward. I asked him who he was. He asked me what he can do and it's kind of hard to determine what people can do for you if you don't know exactly what they do and what position they hold. He was kind of going around the bush and, you know, I was playing hard to get and uh, I didn't really appreciate that too much. Not very respectful or professional. Uh, he is a city manager. Um, his information will all be in the description. If you'd like to red address your government, you could always do so. um they were a little thrown off by what I was doing, but I think the uh sheriff's department uh deputies uh who was very professional, very respectful, cordial, civil, uh everything uh that you know we're looking for in our policing uh today uh did not violate my rights. Um knew what was going on. >> The incident ended without any arrests thanks to the professionalism of the FTO and its teammates. Press NH Now praised the deputies for protecting citizens rights while criticizing the city manager for his lack of transparency and abuse of power. The video became public evidence, calling on the community to monitor the government and demand accountability, which could lead to political pressure or an internal investigation. >> Why are you touching me? Why are you arresting me? >> My phone. I'm I got my IDs in my bag. >> Why are you arresting me? A seemingly harmless traffic stop suddenly turns into a nightmare for police. >> You have your ID handy, sir? >> I don't have a show ID. >> Why not? >> Cuz I've committed no crime. >> Sir, I've committed no crime. You pull me out of this car, you'll be you'll be sued. >> Take them off, sir. >> Take them off. >> They're doing that. >> Hold on. >> Why are you holding my other arm? >> A man was sitting quietly in his car in the middle of a park, but then a strange policeman suddenly appeared. The reason no one believed it. >> This is a public roadway, correct? >> Well, you can stop harassing me. >> Is this a public roadway?
