I said he can record. So >> that's what you said. >> That is exactly what I said. If you said that, Officer Lawson, I really appreciate that, man. >> Of course, man. I noticed you have the constitutional book in your hand. >> Hey, I'm I'm I'mma put I'm telling you. I'm just going to verify. >> Unfortunately, we don't we don't have body cameras.

Your whole so purpose of your job is to uphold and to protect the what? >> Die. >> Will you die? Remind me what the 14th is. >> Just the 14th amendment. How about the Constitution? Would you die? Would you put your life on the line for the Constitution? >> It's hard to say. >> And I say that because when you wake up every day and put on all these gadgets, that's what you're doing. You're putting on all this stuff to up Yeah. Other things come into into line of play, too. But the main serve purpose, and I give people the hint, is to uphold. That's what you swore. You remember that? Do you remember that? So, would you die for the Constitution? >> Yep. That's what my job. >> Let me hear you say it. Say, "I'll die for the Constitution." >> There you go, man. That ain't hard to say because when you when you do put on all this stuff, when y'all come out here and put your life in the line, have you ever heard of an officer dying on passing away on duty for whatever reason? He put his life on the line for the Constitution. A lot of people are not aware of that. So, I mean, I think you guys did a really good job. I wish I can see what's said in there. I'm going to take your word for it though. Uh, Lawson, you and Okay.

I can't control what someone would do if I'm just standing right. No arrests were made, but the video exposes the conflict between security concerns and constitutional rights. In doing so, the person who filmed it raises larger issues. The lack of body cams, banks lack of knowledge of the law, and the need for more transparency from police in the future. Next, a car speeds through a peaceful town, but the person who steps out leaves the police officer confused and unable to believe his eyes. >> Okay. Okay, but let's slow down.
