Get the hand. >> A disabled man was arrested and the police did worse to his prosthetic leg. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Oh, you went stupid. >> No, my leg is falling off. God damn it. Look at that. Paul's arrest sparks a $2 million zero sense furore as [music] cops flex their power. A disabled man was just helping his brother clean the house, but a few minutes later he was restrained on the ground and his prosthetic leg fell off right in front of people who didn't care. >> Do you not? >> Why do I have to? >> He's the one that owns the Let me finish, please. >> Sir, I'm not listener of the >> He said clearly, I have not done anything illegal. But instead of listening, the police took things a step further and took things far beyond the legal limit. >> Let me check. I'm just going to check. >> Yeah. You want hang on one part real quick.

What's your name? >> Alan. >> My name is Frank Diaz Rodriguez. As you can read right here, >> I would never be able to say that. But >> it's Diaz Rodriguez. You could just repeat after me. Diaz Rodriguez Rodriguez. Rodriguez. Do you have an ID? You say, "Yes, I do." >> The call which came in about an unauthorized entry sounds serious, right? But >> when the police asked if he had ID, the seemingly reasonable answer became the opening act for a blatant abuse of power. >> We determine what's going on here. >> They are they are doing that part of this call. I'm doing this part of the call. >> I do not have to help you with your investigation. I just can't hear. Be quiet. >> Okay. >> And I'm not doing that. I gave you my name. >> Okay. Okay. I haven't committed a crime. At least not that I know of either. >> Mhm. >> And that uh >> How old are you? >> Huh? >> How old are you? >> 60. >> 60. >> Okay. So, >> is that your car? >> That's This is all his. >> The key legal issue here is Florida's stop and identify laws, which only allow ID requests with reasonable suspicion of a crime. Since Allan wasn't suspected of anything illegal, he had every right to refuse when the deputy asked for his ID, not ordered it. So, all of these cars are are his? >> These two cars are his. >> None of these cars here are registered to you. >> Pardon? >> None of these cars here are registered to you. >> I know. Am I making out? None of these cars are what? >> Registered. >> Registered. >> No, none of them are registered to me. Can I go get my drink? Just my drink right there. >> Sure. >> I understand that you got to do your investigation and stuff like that. I myself it was just helping my >> He finally agreed to give his ID but the strange thing was the police didn't take it. Why? Because they had chosen another path that was much more dangerous and illegal. >> He said, "Well, I'm not." He's going to have people work on cleaning up the property or clean up the stuff inside. I go, "Great. No problem." You know, and he says, you know, I'm not going to call and have all this towed off or anything. go, right? He says, "Is the is your brother uh going to give us the key?" I go, "I don't know. I don't know what's all going on." >> In Allen's case, there was no suspicion of wrongdoing and he wasn't being detained, [music] making the deputy's request just that, merely a question. But instead of respecting his rights, the deputy chose to escalate things, turning a simple situation into a confrontation. So, we know that he started some stuff, but it has not been completed. We have not been evicted by his lawyer. His lawyer, he he knows who his lawyer is. I don't know his name. Uh said that he checked on the dockets and see if there was anything of a of a possession was done yet. And he said, "Nope, it's not been done. You haven't got one delivered to you." And said, "Nope. I didn't know there was one coming. And so and the lawyer says, "Well, you still have a controlling interest of the property." >> Told my brother that he was thinking of selling a propert. And so, um, so a couple people just came by to look at the property and stuff, but then out of the blue, the next thing I know, we know we're being told that we got to move. Not me. He is. When the prosthetic leg fell off while being handcuffed, guess what the police reaction was? Help. No. They just coldly said, "Put it on. Hurry up." >> Can I have your information to >> There won't be any There won't I won't be in the system at all about this. Again, I came from Michigan. Okay. >> Two weeks ago. >> Do you have an idea with you?

You're going to call in and see if there's any wants or warrants for him, which I tell you. >> That's not what we do. And he's refusing. So, he's going to be in handcuffs in a couple of seconds because >> I'm going to be handcuffed. You just got through saying that I >> Until I know who you are. You're not leaving. >> That is not a reason to leave. >> I just told you right now. Until I know who you are, you're not going to leave here. >> I'm not leaving here. You have to know. >> How many How many cops are >> You're going to be in the back of my patrol car in a couple of seconds if you don't give me your ID. How about that? >> All right. Well, I'm going to start recording now. >> Okay. You are denying me the right to record. >> I got a prosthetic leg. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Get up, sir.

I'll stand up, please. Things take a heartbreaking turn. >> Allan filed a federal lawsuit alleging wrongful arrest, unlawful search, abuse of power, and discrimination against people with disabilities. [music] Allan was awarded $2 million 0, marking a clear victory for civil rights and a stark warning to abusive law enforcement agencies.

But what makes him so determined not to cooperate? >> If I cannot, >> if you refuse, you're not going to have no choice but to put you on. >> We got 9,100 bills that we have to go through. I got to call the bank. I got to go back to my >> So, >> nobody can just open the door and not touch anything. >> When his superior gave him a direct order, he responded with a single sentence that [music] raised the tension to a dangerous level. I will do it, but not now. So, what was really going on? >> I cannot tell you. >> If you refuse, we're not going to have no choice but to put you on the main street. >> And what does that mean? >> That means that we have to take your gun, take your badge, and then we got to go to the chief's office. I tell you, so we refuse. We ain't going to handcuff you and take you with us, but we're not going to give the keys to the city. We're not trying to get my stuff out of >> slow down.

I've never not been. always been on here. >> And by not taking a test now, >> you're subject to I wouldn't pass >> administrative issues or administrative procedures. >> I'm on the phone with you two weeks ago. I have I daddy that I I didn't ask for this. >> It's cuz I didn't go to sleep. >> Police call keeping your belongings theft. [music] A heated argument breaks out on public property and the legal concept is twisted beyond belief. I will go to any test y'all want me to go to. Just give me just a little bit of time and I will drive a POV back there. Make sure you get somebody come get me and then I will get my stuff in order at the house and I will come right back. We got 9,100 bills that we have to go through. I got to call the bank. I got to go back to my house. I ain't even been to my house yet. >> Coco, let me just say this, man. We doing all this. We doing all this talking >> the police, Captain. I ain't Is there something wrong with your car? >> Hey, look, man.

But you know what? You owe me not to lie to me. >> Nobody lying to me like that. >> Y'all didn't. >> I'm not lying to you. You didn't. But I got lied to by multiple people. Not Not you, Captain. Can I Can I explain that? >> Yeah, you can't. >> I'm not. >> I'm on my off time. Y'all didn't catch me driving. There's nothing wrong with it. >> It doesn't matter. >> It does matter. >> It doesn't. This is not a DWI. >> It's my personal stuff. >> You You'll be able to get it, but you don't get it right now. >> I got to get my personal stuff or that's a theft. >> I know the law, he shouted, but the other officers replied. We are not talking about the law. This is an administrative order. Was someone abusing their power or hiding something? >> Well, after we get done, then you contact the sheriff's office and then you can make a report. >> I wouldn't do that. >> Okay. I'm just telling you, you got to I understand you're frustrated, >> but you're going about things the wrong way. I understand, but you have to do it now. That's what they're telling you is you have to. That's an old >> You have to. >> You're right. There are consequences if you don't though. >> Right. You have no proof of I've done anything. >> George, this is the last >> Do you understand?

This is this is an administrative matter. It's not a criminal matter in there. >> Go ahead. Go ahead. >> Might be in the back seat. >> We looked all in the vehicle. That's it. Huh? >> It might be on the I'm just saying. I know damn well. >> Go ahead. >> Take We going to take him home. We going to follow y'all and then we going to come back and get the deal. Okay. >> Okay. >> Thanks. When we done >> giving you a ride home, >> man like anything, Cole, we we had a complaint. We got to see through it, but you're hindering us and doing what we got to do. >> No, I'm not. What? Man, my family comes first, man. But I could have been dumb. >> Don't smoke right now cuz you going to get in his building. >> I got to go in there and get my prescription, Captain. give you that's sure can. >> Amidst weary size and bitter words, the policeman blurted out, "I just want to go home." But what makes it not so simple? >> Okay, go ahead and tell me. >> Don't get too close. That's what I'm saying. >> Then back up on me. >> I'm right here. >> Okay. >> I'm ask you to stand right there. >> I don't stand right there. I'm just saying I don't want this thing to escalate. How's it going to escalate? You tell me. >> I'm telling you. You tell me how it's going to escalate. >> I'm hoping it don't escalate. >> Well, what would it escalate into? >> I don't I don't know. I'm just telling you that it's going to escalate cuz I stand on the curb. >> I don't want it to escalate. Here we are. I don't think so. >> Yeah, cuz you have to step closer and I'm glad you right where you at. >> Yeah, I'm right where I'm at. You a step closer to me. >> Yeah, I know. I'm good. I don't want it to escalate. >> Me neither. >> Cool. That's what I'm saying. We're on the same page. >> Yeah. >> Sure. You're 35 years. >> I agree with you. No, >> I agree with you. I agree with you.

No. No. General order said you can't drive this police car up here. My truck's in the shop or I damn sure wouldn't be driving it. >> There's not enough pill bottle in there. >> Captain, you grabbed it. Remember you looked at it when you first you said I had a fuel bottle between my seat, >> right? >> You grabbed it. >> That's the one you got right there. That's >> citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights pursuant to 42 US code SS1 1983. 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 fact that an offduty police officer could drive a public vehicle, carry a weapon, or not, and refused to be tested shows a gap in internal management and discipline. The conversation lasted nearly 40 minutes with unusual patience from superiors, raising questions about bias and the possibility of internal cover-ups. Up next, a camera, a citizen, and police overreaction. When power exceeds its limits, freedom becomes an excuse for repression. >> No, ma'am, we're not going to arrest you. We're going to ask you to leave peacefully. >> Well, I know, but if I But if I Let me just It's a stupid question, but if I stay, I'll be arrested. >> Okay, then I'm going to like to stay then. >> No, ma'am.

That get So that gives you free speech. That's your free speech. >> Yes, ma'am. That's proves I work here. I have to be ma'am. A citizen with a camera and the title of freelance journalist walked into the Charleston airport simply to film a story. But with a camera and the label of freedom of [music] the press, things started to take a turn. Wow. She's got boarding tickets. Check in TSA screening baggage and ground transportation. They got like the greenery in the background. Hey, set of guest services. Put your information and your currency. We got got the airport aviation authority police. Got the uh DHS. They got customs. Oh, there he is. It's a police department. I guess it's the airport authority. >> Yes, I'll be. >> No, I was just checking out uniform. Airport authority. >> Airport police. Yes. >> Okay. Yes. >> Thanks. An airport employee approached to inquire, but the conversation quickly turned into a debate about press freedom and public space. >> I see a lot of you guys going, I didn't know something happened. No. >> Okay, this is normal. >> I got you. I was curious. >> Administrative offices. CC administration offices. >> You're taking pictures for who? >> I'm sorry. >> Who are you taking pictures for? >> Just myself. Free press. >> Spencer. >> Huh? Who were you taking pictures for? >> For free press. >> For what? The free press. >> Yeah. Uh, >> and then someone gave you permission to do that? >> Oh, yeah. The owners of the building did. >> Huh? >> The owners of the building did. Is this thing working? Okay. >> I'm saying who gave you permission to do that? >> The owners of the building? >> The owners of the building? Yes, ma'am. And who's who >> who do you think [music] they are? Do you know who the owners of the building are? >> Well, I do, but I'm saying can you tell me who it who they are? >> The the owners of the building. >> Who [music] do you think they own? >> I need a name. Oh, who do you think they are? >> Well, I know who they are. But do you know who they are? >> You must be getting confused then of who it is. It must be two different people. >> The police [snorts] stepped in not because there was a crime, but because of a camera and the debate over the right to be present officially began. >> What do you mean it's your policy? >> It's my policy to film anybody who's talking to me. [music] That's my company's policy. >> Okay. I'm going to actually have to call the um security cuz you're I don't understand why you just >> Is this not open to the public? No, you're good. >> What's going on? 47. >> Who are you, sir? >> Officer Armstrong. >> Armstrong. What's your badge number, sir?

Who can I talk to? Am I talking to you or am I talking to them? I'm just just so we can have one. >> He refused to provide identification citing the First Amendment. The police wanted identification but had no legal reason to ask for it. A legal clash ensued. Do you have credentials for your free speech? >> Ma'am, >> I'm just asking. >> I'm not playing games. You're asking me for credentials. As >> to leave pretty much. Yeah. >> Is that Is that what I mean? You're in charge. So if I don't leave right now, I'm going to be arrested. Be careful what you say. >> Be careful. >> Yes. Constitution protected >> activities.

We're going to ask you to leave peacefully. >> Well, I know, but if I But if I Let me just It's a stupid question. >> No, ma'am.

You say you work for independent. >> But who is who what government issues? Uh >> ma'am, I have no who you work for. >> Reason is not heard. Only orders are repeated.

Okay, then I'm I'm I'm going to if I have to ask for permission >> and you don't take any pictures up here. Have a seat, but no pictures. >> Well, I've already been recording, sir. >> Shut it down. >> So, he's soliciting a trespass to to sit there and violate civil rights. This is your chief of police for the aviation authority. This is absolutely disgusting. Civil rights violation. You're shutting it down before the service is even closed. Police conduct there were signs of abuse of power when asking the cameraman to leave a public area without providing a clear legal reason. >> You wanted to show me >> this the sign right here. So I'm going to ask you to stop recording. >> So if they don't want you over here, if they don't want to give you the services, they're just going to ask you >> and uh that that sign is not a statute. It's not a law. It's just something somebody printed out on a >> a printed sign and a security guard think it can defeat the United States Constitution. But what happens when people dare to question it? >> Okay. Where where's the sign you wanted to show me? >> This is the sign right here. So, I'm going to ask you to stop recording. >> Oh, I like I said, I I don't think I I I don't think you guys would leave personal information out where people can see it. >> He's not committed any crimes on. Just let him be. It's fine. >> When the police came in, people thought their rights would be taken away, but no one expected the policeman himself would have to relearn the law. >> We'll check that out in a minute. So, I've never seen this before in any probation or pearl office I've ever been in. It's a vending machine. Very interesting. So, this is the Department of Human Services here. >> What's up, man? >> Hey, what's up? How are you doing? >> How can we help you? >> Um, I don't need any help right now. Thank you.

Where where's the sign you wanted to show me? >> This is the sign right here. So, I'm going to ask you to stop recording. If you can't, you have to leave the building. Okay. >> Yeah. I'm not going to leave, sir. >> You're not going to leave? >> No. >> Sonny. >> Excuse me. I'm sorry. I can't. Let me get closer to you. >> I asked him to leave. He said he refuses. >> First, can I get your name and badge number, please? >> Officer Tor badge 100. >> Oh, how are you? >> It's their ruling. >> It's for client confidentiality. >> If they don't want you recording, if they don't want you here, they have to ask you. I will have to ask you to. >> Why is a tiny public building guarded like a fortress? Two guards, a policeman, [music] and a truth that no one wants to make public. You have the right to apply, but you can't just come on >> general things. >> Why couldn't I just come in and film applications and general things here?

It's just something somebody printed out on a I'm not arguing with you either. You're the one telling me to leave. >> They want if they if they don't want you here, you'll have to leave. >> No, that's not that's not the way the law works. I have every right to be here. >> Okay, you're you're free to stay. >> So why would you tell me to leave then? >> If you have to application documents here, >> right? >> And there could be personal information on it. >> But why would you leave personal people's personal information where anybody could see it? >> Don't, but there could be. >> This isn't actually an article. >> Somebody's name that came in. I mean, >> is there something I can do to help? >> Yeah. What services do you offer here to the public? Um well there's several different buildings uh se several different departments building.

I would just >> right we're having I'm not arguing with our friend. >> He's not committing any crimes or anything like just let him be. It's fine. >> You can do as you please. So you know she didn't >> I was just having a polite conversation with her. >> You won't believe this police officer's U-turn from asking to leave the building to suggesting come back next time. What made him do such a 180° change? >> I don't know. We have two security guards and a law enforcement officer stationed here. So, he's talking to them right here. That's fine. Why? Why do this, man? I'm not arguing with you. I'm not trying to argue with anybody. I'm just saying, you know, I'm here to exercise my rights. That's it. >> Go for it, bro. That's all you do. You >> I will. >> It'll help you out. >> I will. >> You know, if you want to record, go for it, man. You want to take a seat and enjoy it. >> That's [laughter] all you. >> All right. Sounds good. >> He's a law enforcement officer. took an oath to uphold our constitutional rights. I want you all to point out in the comment section how much personal confidential information that I've received since I've been here. You know, it's good to come into these buildings cuz you get to see the government waste. We have one two security officers. For what? For what reason? This is Department of Labor and Department of Human Services. Nobody's in here. I don't really get it. Like no visitors beyond this point. That would be a restricted area. Sure. Sorry about that. Yeah, no problem. I'm very polite. I don't get why people are so upset. Also, quick question for you. Is there like a security uh as far as like security high security risk here? Cuz I noticed that you're stationed here, right? >> But normally a law enforcement [music] officer stationed in this building. Okay. >> With with two security guards. >> Security. Yes, man. >> Oh, the they could be >> for the staff safety and their wellbeing. That's why they request uh you know, >> a detail of officer detail and then the two security guards. >> You're no threat, men. >> Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. >> I respect it. >> And I and I and I'm glad that you're doing your job by allowing me to do my job. >> Respect, you know, their policy. >> Listen, you know, I just seeing things like this where you have like two security guards and a law enforcement officer in such a small area here. >> It's kind of like >> now it's not busy. >> Why does a camera cause panic in the entire public administration? Are we living in a society where transparency is a threat? >> And then the two private security that come in. So whatever they request, you know, we try to abide by their rules at the end of the day as well. So >> all right, that's interesting. Thank you for answering my questions. I appreciate it. Thank you. And what department are you with? >> Wake. >> Wake. >> Yep. You're in Waga. Station's right down the street as well. >> Okay. Gotcha. Perfect. Thanks, man. I appreciate you answering my questions. >> Okay. Any other questions? Let me know how I got you, man. >> All right. Thanks. Appreciate you. >> Goes to Hocus. >> Yeah, Hocus.

How long you been with the department? >> Three years. >> Three years. Very cool, man. >> All right. Well, it was nice talking to you. >> Of course, bro. >> Take care. >> You know how funny it is. You went from telling me to leave to telling me to come back another time. >> No, I get it, man. You know what? Listen, I'm not here to cause I'm not here to get personal information or or b escalate situation in any way with anybody, man. I just I just like to ask questions and >> once we got understanding of reasoning >> and see I thought it was interesting, you [music] know, about the amount of security here for the small area here, you know, I just >> I get I get to find out different things in different buildings. >> I got you. I >> John concluded that despite being initially asked to leave, his rights were eventually recognized. He called on viewers to pay attention to the contradiction between the police's initial words and their final actions. He also emphasized the need to monitor the government and combat the trend of abuse of power. Next, what do you think would happen if you just stood there filming a public building in today's video? A security guard caused things to get out of hand. >> Permission to film it. You working for the court? >> I guess I'm not allowed to film. I don't know. I'm just by myself. >> He say by himself, but he won't believe. >> Within minutes, things took a dangerous turn. A dramatic 911 call was made and serious accusations began to surface. But were they true? >> Okay. They say you could do that in here. >> Film again. >> Did they say they gave you permission to film inside? Permission to film it. You working for the port? Who you working for? >> Oh, no. I didn't uh I I haven't talked to anybody for the port. >> It's just not what you What were you saying? >> Oh, it's not working. >> I guess I'm not allowed to film. I don't know. >> I don't know why, but um what is this thing right here? Is this the >> Yeah, they don't allow that without permission. >> Let me call someone to come down and talk to you. Yeah, I don't need that. >> Yeah, I don't need to talk to anybody. Just so you know, >> hey, can you come down to the lobby? >> Can you come to the lobby? >> Well, I have a guy here taking pictures of your stuff, so I told him he couldn't do it. >> Oh, that's crazy. >> So, who is he by himself? Who you with? >> I'm just by myself. >> He say he by himself, but yeah, he won't leave. So, so if someone can come in, I'll talk. Surrounded by threats and angry looks, this person still maintained an unexpected attitude. He did not run away, but instead fought back with something that made even the security guards freeze. >> Mhm. >> So, how who who owns the port if it's private? Privately owned. >> So, it is private property and it's subject to state laws restrictions. >> I mean, there there's actually if you have a business to do with the port, I'll be more than happy to help you. But if there's no business with the port, I guess would be helpful to know. >> As you said, it's private. >> Yeah, it'sorns are private. The >> port if you public property then. >> No, no, they you cannot get in my office, for example. >> Well, if your office is closed, but that doesn't mean that the the building is private property. >> They'll be more than happy to help you. That's why we have security there. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's >> so so I mean I I don't want to be here. >> I've I've researched it. The port of Oakland is owned by the public. I mean, who else would own the port? >> No. [laughter] It's a publicity, but it doesn't mean that you have access to the private property. You cannot go on the terminals. The airport is also for property. >> Yeah. I'm not going in the terminals. >> Okay. >> Yeah. I'm just in public areas that I can be at. >> Okay. >> That's where I'm going to be at. Public areas, not private areas. >> Okay. >> You have to ask my permission, right, for for recording, don't you? >> No. >> No. Oh, really? >> Do you work for the port? >> Let me ask. >> The police show up. It seems like the end is near. But what this officer does makes you wonder who really knows the law here. >> Why is that? I asked the other guy. He He didn't understand. He doesn't know why. I'm asking why. >> I'm not going to answer that question. You can't film in here. >> Well, I I think I can. Pretty sure I can. >> All right. Hey. Uh, no. [groaning] >> Where's Mark at? >> I called Mark on the other side. I know. >> I just I just came over there. >> I dial 911. They said I'm call >> Why Why would you guys call 911 over a camera? I just don't understand it. I'm trying to figure it out. >> Your camera. That's the thing, you know. >> Well, I mean, you guys took a a job in a public office, right? >> Don't Don't film it. >> This is a secured area. >> This is a secured area. Yeah, that's the reason we have a security guard here. >> How how how come we can walk? >> You have to meet him, but you can't be coming in here. Come on. >> I did meet him. >> Let's go. I don't know. I think you're a terrorist. You could be a terrorist. >> Go ahead, brother. >> Are you a terrorist? I don't know. I think you're a terrorist. You could be a terrorist. You please go outside. >> No, you look like a terrorist. >> You do. You look like a terrorist. Hold this here. >> So, it looks like he's going to attack me. >> You do. You look like a terrorist. Hold this here. a terrorist. >> I'm not dangerous. He's dangerous. >> This is a danger to the public right here. >> This is crazy. So, they haven't even asked me like what business I have to conduct here >> or nothing. The front door. >> As the doors are locked and those responsible quietly disappear, a big question arises. What is being hidden at the port of Oakland? >> Let me try to hear this. Uh, what's your name, badge number, brother? >> My name's Officer Hatcher 9171. >> Thank you. I appreciate you. >> All right. You guys are close to the door. I'm going to give you a little space here. >> I appreciate it. Thanks. >> So, I don't even know if he's a terrorist or what he's trying to do. >> What? Let him to believe I'm a terrorist. >> I [laughter] Okay. My name's Officer Temple with OPD. How you doing, man? >> I'm good. Samuel already did really great, man. She handled it. So, it should be over. >> Cool. >> So, we're done. >> Oh, you guys don't have them on your badge, though. >> No, we don't. >> Interesting. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Haven't seen that. >> Yeah. >> Awesome. >> Yeah, man. >> Cool. >> It's quite the setup you got. >> Easy money, easy day. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I got to make sure I'm cut. >> You got a YouTube channel or something or >> uh I'm I'm thinking about starting one. I can push it up, down, left, right, all around. Look at this. >> We can We can take a selfie if we want. >> That's kind of cool. >> Yeah, that's pretty cool. So yeah, I'm recording, man. Doing a story. I'm going to be in every public area that I can be in. >> And uh I expect not to damn near be attacked by psychos.
