No problem. >> Let me just check the hat real quick. >> All righty, sir. He said I was doing 85 and a 65 and he's just recording hypocrisy at its best. >> So then I asked him for his license registration cuz he pulled up on my traffic stop. So I was dealing with him second and he wouldn't give it to me cuz he's a Denver cop and he knows his what? He knows his law his rights. >> Is he retired? >> I don't know. I didn't even see. I just saw he was a Denver cop. Denver reserve newspaper and catch it. >> How exactly did he get? >> Well, that's what we got to clarify. >> Well, I'm trying to get his trying to get it. He came up here. If I all honestly, I could have I should have contacted him sooner, but I didn't. I waited for my traffic stop, so I contacted him. He was video recording me, so I was asking for all of his information. He's like, "He's not giving it to me." He wanted a supervisor. >> He was just video recording. >> And then when I was asking, >> did he walk up to your stop? >> No. No. But then >> you don't have instruction. >> But when I was trying to get his information here, >> Adambert, >> he would have his information here. He wouldn't identify himself here. >> It's weak. >> Yeah. >> Very weak. But and I can care less that I say it on camera. >> But uh >> and I asked him to step out and he stepped out. He stepped out lawfully. Just wouldn't identify himself. >> It's weak, but I got it. I'm I'm driving down 85. I'm leaving Brighton. I'm on my way to the Ford dealership to get my core back on on a starter. >> Okay. >> I'm doing 65. This guy passes me >> and I look at my thing and I'm doing the speed limit and he passed me. I mean, pretty aggressively. >> Uh-huh. >> So, I started to go to catch up to him because I wanted to pace him to see how fast he was going. He was going about 80 mph. I recorded it. Like I said, he just passed me and all and he disappeared. Okay. So, my intention was I've got this on on on video. I was gonna call the station and complain. >> Get a hold of me. >> Yeah. Who eventually come to, >> right? So, I I had no idea where he went, but I turned on 104th to go to the Ford dealership and he had somebody pulled over and right at the same time my phone rang. So, um I I noticed that it was the same guy and I thought, "Boy, wouldn't that be isn't that something if he's given whoever he pulled over a ticket for speeding?" Just sat there and I put my phone out the window to to record um so they could get a picture of the guy. >> Mhm. >> Um and then I just sat in my car and after he wrote the guy a ticket and let him go, then he came up to me and he said, "Uh, can I help you?" And I said, I said, "No." I said, "Can I get your name and badge number?" And he said, "What for?" And I said, "Because you were speeding on Highway 85." Oh, yeah. I said, "Yeah, you were doing 80 and a 65. No lights, no sirens, and no nothing. And I could tell that you were just your casual driving. Give me your driver's license, insurance, and proof of insurance." I said, "I'm not giving you my information." He said, "Give me your stuff or I'll get you for obstruction." I said, "You didn't pull me over. >> I don't have to give you my driver's license. You didn't pull me over, >> right? >> So then he opened my car, yanked me out, handcuffed me, and here I sit, and I told him, "I want a sergeant. This is you have no to do this." And that officer that's going up to my van right now admitted it. >> He said, "Yes, you you should be >> that that deputy is >> right there. >> Um he's right there with you." So, I'd like these handcuffs off and I'd like to be go I'd like I'd like that guy's >> that's that's >> information and I'd like like to go on my way here >> that's going to happen. >> So, >> and I want an apology from that guy. >> Some of these guys they forget that it's not it's not against the law for someone to to to videotape your your traffic stop. It's not against the law for them to to pull on the side of the road. it's not against the law to make a comment. Um, yeah, I can't think of any way that that would interfere with it. >> And he some people >> and and I even said to him at least if their body cams on, at least six times when he kept asking me for my stuff, told me he was going to arrest me for obstruction. I said, I I I want you I want I need a supervisor before you keep doing this [ __ ] I'd like a supervisor. And he said, no. And then that's when >> that's when I called the >> and that's when he yanked me out and threw me in handcuffs. >> Oh, I'll handle it. It'll be taken care of. I promise you that. I'm not going to let it's not going to just go away. >> Okay. >> Um it will be handled. Um I'm sorry. I I will apologize for the sheriff's office. I'm >> I'm sorry it happened. It shouldn't have happened. Like I said, let me go talk to him for a minute and uh I'll be back in just a minute. Okay. >> Okay. All right. Uhhuh. Well, here's my business card. Didn't mean it to go this route. Unfortunately, it did. So, that is my, you know, my apologies, >> but So, I don't know what else to say. >> You ought to know better. >> So, uh I will I will bite my tongue on that response, sir. >> Yeah. >> Am I free to go? Absolutely. Well, >> I'll see you in court. Okay, sir. Have a great day. >> Thank you, sir. Have a great day. >> No, sir. >> Enjoy your day, sir. Thank you. >> What the hell did he just say? >> He said I'm a idiot and to see me in court and then grabbed his balls and put me off >> at the same time as you came. >> Yes. >> You know, stay further away. Especially if he's an off duty cop. Really? That's stupid. >> He is. He's a >> reserve. >> He comes and try and does this because he was >> man who was wrongfully arrested is Barry Zetcallic. His age is unknown, but this incident happened in Adams County, Colorado. Barry was falsely charged with obstruction, but this charge quickly was reversed the moment the sergeant found out Barry was not actually obstructing. Ary was not booked into jail, nor had he had bond, and was released immediately at the scene. The arresting officer's name is Walter Berlin, and he is a deputy in Adams County, Colorado. Barry was simply filming a traffic stop that Deputy Walter was conducting. Barry was not part of the traffic stop. So when Deputy Walter asks for his license and registration, Barry has the full legal right to refuse because he is not obstructing the law. 20 minutes later, when the supervisor showed up to review the case, the supervisor quickly understood that there was no obstruction of justice, meaning there is no standing ground for Barry to be in handcuffs. After Barry was released, the officers apologized for their mistake and Barry quickly stated, "I'll see you in court." >> I'll see you in court. >> Barry never filed a formal lawsuit. Instead, Barry and his attorney sent a legal notice laying out the case of wrongful arrest. Fast forward a year and a half later, Barry won and made Adams County agree to pay him a whopping $80,000 settlement. Adams County also launched an internal investigation with no disclosed disciplinary action yet taken against Deputy Walter. Overall, this is a textbook recording the police case and protection of our First Amendment rights for freedom of speech. But the fact that the supervisors did apologize on scene for the wrongful arrest is a big deal and shows that the officers acknowledge wrongdoing and actively took appropriate steps to resolve the mistake.
