What crime did I commit? >> Asking you have not committed a crime yet, but not you do not identify yourself. I will place you under arrest. When asked to show ID without committing any crime, Grandma responded with a quote from the Constitution that left the police officer speechless. >> Calling you not to do it, though. Okay. >> Is that an order? >> Yes. >> So, you'll arrest me if I do? Are you mean to elderly folks? >> One, sir, you're not elderly. Okay. >> That's discrimination. >> Well, then fine. >> Okay.

Grandma's out. >> An unprecedented show of wit. The police threaten to arrest but are unable to bring charges. The old lady turns the confrontation into an on the spot law class. >> Is that a misdemeanor or felony? >> Investigating >> for what crime? >> No, because I haven't determined yet if you've committed a crime. >> Well, you have to before you come and ask for ID. >> Yeah.

What's private information? >> You're intentionally >> videotaping, being nice, being cordial. >> Your little viewers here are probably getting a real kick out of this, aren't they? >> You can look in the camera and say hello. >> Hi. >> You know how many people are watching you right now trying to violate a grandma's right? What do you think the Fourth Amendment is? >> To be secure in my in my person. >> From accusations of drunkenness to sarcastic remarks about her appearance to a blunt challenge. Bring me the arrest warrant, you nerd. This is when grandma declares war. >> My first and fourth amendment. You just said that you were going to place me under arrest if I don't give you ID. That's my fourth amendment right. Imagine all the jury seeing this. Trying to violate an elderly woman's right. see that and they'll be like, "Wow, this grandma's been very polite and cordial with you and you came up, said there's no crime being committed, yet you demand ID." Do your investigation then for what crime? Reasonable, articulable suspicion. >> I'm just standing here in front of you just listening to you blather right now. >> I'm not blathering. >> I have a bladder.

And you have to help the public when they ask for help. >> I can I Yeah, you asked my name. >> And you're helping You're trying to violate my rights. Fourth Amendment, darling. What's the Fourth Amendment? >> I'm not trying to violate anybody's rights. >> You just tried to, but did I? >> You tried. All you would have if grandma was a pushover. >> The ending was surprising. People applauded. The police retreated. And all because of an old lady holding a camera. But the most embarrassing thing for them has yet to be revealed. >> You don't have to know cuz I'm that famous. Look at me. I'm more famous than Brad Pitt. >> I'm a grandma and I do what I need to do. >> Okay. >> Oh, is that your boyfriend? Who? >> Brad Pitt. Silly. >> I have a wife. Oh. >> Oh, you you sure could have confused me there. I thought you were gay and so I was giving you some compliments. >> I don't believe in that. >> Oh, okay. That's your right, too.

Well, he needs to learn the Fourth Amendment cuz he doesn't know it, silly Stanley. >> So, I just want to ask you again, is there anything that we can help you with at all? >> Uh, >> yeah, tell him. >> I sure freaking do. >> Yeah, walk of shame, Stanley. Get out of here, Stanley. >> I just want to >> You're a son of a gun, Stanley. You can't violate my rights. I'm grandma. >> Just because I'm law enforcement or marine or anything like that doesn't mean I'm not human.

What What right have I tried to violate yours? >> Well, when you >> zero alert zero alert >> hold my horses. Okay, Grandma. Hold them. >> But you can't just use abusive empathy. You know what that is? >> Oh, I sure can. No, it doesn't work against It does not work against you. You know why? >> First amendment right of redress of government. Does you need to read the first amendment, silly disorderly? >> No, that's not how it works, silly boy. >> You can address me. >> I can redress you. Not address you. Redress your actions. >> Yeah, cuz grandma's a war veteran. >> So am I. >> Yeah, but grandma's an actual war veteran that's seen a lot of combat. >> I was in two weeks. >> Grandma was in the army. WW2 and Afghanistan. >> You're in World War II. >> WW2. >> Ever heard of them? No. Grandma's old. >> No, I'm going to get here. I got other stuff I got to do. >> All right. Make sure Stanley doesn't violate them elderly or grandma's going to be upset. >> At the end of the video, grandma claims victory for upholding her constitutional rights. Officer Stanley has been exposed for incompetence and could face administrative or civil action for threatening to make a false arrest. The video goes viral with a powerful message. Know your rights and never bow to abuse of power. Next, with just a vague phone call, the police rushed in surrounding a man. But no one expected things to escalate like this. >> You're being difficult for me. >> I don't need the >> people called and said that they saw you peering and passing off. >> You already said that. >> I'm being detained for suspicion of tampering. No evidence, no clear violation, but he was still declared detained. Was this detention legal or just a power play? >> You were looking for vehicles and everything. >> Okay. >> Uh, so what's that about? >> I don't answer questions. >> Okay. What's up? >> I don't answer questions. Actually, if you wanted to write some tickets, I found some cars over there that have expired tabs. Is that something you do? >> They're in a private parking lot. >> It's a public parking lot, though. It's taxpayer funded. >> Can you speak up so my camera can hear you? >> You're just going to be difficult with this. >> You came to me. You're being difficult for me. >> You were looking into cars that are obviously not yours. There's been a string of breakins >> at the police department. >> This is at the police department. >> That's what we're trying to figure out. What's going on with you? >> What's your name? >> What are you doing out here? >> What's your name? >> My name is Nate. You're being investigated right now for peeking in the cars and being up to no good. What are you doing? >> Am I being detained? >> Yeah, you are detained right now. >> For what? >> Speak up. >> I'll talk to the RP. When citizens started to fight back, the police did not respond, but instead turned to threats. This tense confrontation was about to reach a breaking point. >> I'm being detained right now. >> Yeah, you are detained >> for what? >> Speak up, sir. >> I'm not talking to you right now. >> Well, you need to tell me why I'm being detained right now. You need to tell me why I'm being detained cuz it's an illegal detainment. >> It's an illegal detainment cuz you can't tell me why you're >> being investigated right now for possibly tampering with motor vehicles. There you go. Any other questions? I'm being detained for tampering with motor vehicles. >> Is suspicion a crime? >> Yes. >> Suspicion is not a crime. >> Suspicion is not a crime. >> I didn't say suspicion. So >> anyways, what's your name? >> Your buddy over there. >> I think he just wants to watch the show. >> Well, it's not a very good show. So >> I know it's got two shitty characters right here. >> The reason why we're here is cuz people called said that they saw you peering and messing around. >> You already said that. Do you have anything new to say? So, >> do you have anything new to say? >> That's why we're here. >> All right. Well, I'm being detained. I'd like to know why. >> I just explained to you. >> Okay. I'm being detained for suspicion of tampering. Is that correct? >> Right now, you are being detained because we got called here that there was a person that matches your description that was peeking in and potentially tampering the vehicle. >> No, if you just stepped away, we're trying to figure out what's going on. He warned that police could lose their immunity if they made a wrongful arrest. But the police's response left viewers with big questions. >> Yeah, that's right.

You're just trying to be some big dude. >> I'm not. I'm sitting down. You're standing next to me with weapons and armor. >> Listen, can I explain this to you real quick? >> Sure. Imagine somebody was messing with your car in your driveway. >> We're not in a driveway. We're at the police department. >> In the end, without any evidence, the police were forced to retreat. But the legal consequences may have only just begun. >> We got called here because someone matching your description was messing with vehicles. We came to investigate it. You match your description. We're here. I don't see any damage. >> Okay. So, as far as I'm concerned, >> you're good to go. >> I'm just explaining to you. >> Wait, you're literally blocking a fire lane for a non-emergency. Get the out of here, dumbass. >> It's not an emergency. >> It doesn't need to be an emergency for me to park right there. >> It doesn't have to be an emergency to block an emergency fire lane.

[Music] >> A small mistake on the car and a stubborn decision caused everything to spiral out of control, but no one expected the ending to be electric. [Music] When a 65year-old woman refused to follow a simple command, a police officer decided it was time to teach her an unforgettable lesson. Been >> hit and we're waiting to see if I can't find a bed for it. Short bed. It's drivable. >> Yeah, but it's not legal cuz you got to busite. You got your driver license insurance on you? You live here in town? >> No. My name's Hamill, but I don't know. >> Haml, huh? >> Yeah, Ham. >> Gotcha. Related to Hank. >> I'm his mother. >> Oh, okay. Insurance. >> See, did you see if I own the vehicle? >> All right. Appreciate it. Yeah. Busted tail light seems to be a pattern with the Hamls. >> Well, y'all had a headlight out on one of your cars. >> We did. Mhm. Yeah. But I just don't tell you. We should have. All right, Miss HL, since you informed me that you've had that for 6 months. >> Oh, yeah. We're just looking for a bed because we can't find a short bed. I mean, my brother's looking for it. >> Can you at least get the light? >> Okay. Well, tape on it. That work? >> Yeah, but I don't think I don't think red tape's going to help you there. You don't have enough plastic to tape over. >> Well, you know, I kind of hate to buy one if I'm going to get the whole bed that's going to have everything on it. A seemingly peaceful exchange between a citizen and a police officer suddenly turned into a situation requiring an ambulance. What happened on the edge of the law? >> I did issue for a defective equipment. It's $80. You have till September 16th to take care of this. Uh get you to sign with the exit. >> So you don't even give a warning for this? >> You've been driving around for 6 months like that? >> I'm truthful. >> Well, I'm not going to give you a warning for something you've been driving for 6 months. >> But you you've seen me in here. You've seen me in town. >> I haven't. >> You can, too. I've been up here. That is fixable and I can fix it if that's all you want. >> Wait. Step out of the car. >> Why? >> Because you're under arrest. Step out. >> Step out of the vehicle. >> No, I'm not. >> Step out. >> Out. >> Step out. I'm giving you a lawful order. Step out. >> You be fair with me and I'll be fair with you. >> Step out. >> No. >> You're under arrest. >> No, I'm not. >> I'm placing you under arrest. Step out. You are full of you under no damn arrest. >> Step out. >> No, I'm not. >> 305 303. >> Do not do not take off. >> Shut up and give me that and I'll sign it. >> Step out. >> We're beyond that. >> Step out. >> To sign or not to sign.

[Music] What are you [Music] 305 dispatch? Go ahead and start EMS. Uh, taser deployed, one female dusty. When power is applied like a sledgehammer for a petty offense, people wonder, is this law enforcement or disguised retaliation? So, >> why did you take off? >> Because I knew that you would arrest me. >> I wasn't going to All you had to do was sign a ticket. >> But, can you Well, just listen to me a minute. Do you know that nobody nobody wants to come to cash in for any reason whatsoever because they know it's going to be an $80 fine for some dumb something all the time? Well, when you're driving around like that, where do you think you can go driving around and get away with like that? >> King Fisher cuz I'm going to King Fisher right now to go to Loyal. >> I bought groceries. >> You may not like the laws here to enforce whether that be in cash in Oklahoma County or wherever.

In many states, signing a ticket is merely an acknowledgment of receipt of an unsigned ticket, not a crime.
