anything. You can't turn a constitutional. This is first amendment freedom of I haven't even told you you can't shut those down. >> So, what about the fourth amendment? >> Please don't tell me these guys called the cops on a couple of guys taking pictures of cars. >> Well, on the sidewalk, y'all are fine. Uh, that's actually >> He was just filming on the sidewalk, but within minutes, he was surrounded as if he were a criminal. >> I am asking you to provide a name and date of birth that I can verify and we can let you go. So they actually just on my curious point. They actually are thinking that maybe we're looking a lot. A >> simple conversation suddenly turned into a shocking moment. All because of a request the citizen was never required to comply with. Man was just filming on the sidewalk. But you won't believe what made two officers rush up to him immediately. >> Think between the two of us. I am the subject matter expert on the law and that includes constitutional law. I have hundreds of hours of study and application. >> The seemingly friendly conversation suddenly shifted when the officers began scrutinizing every little detail. Why did their suspicion spike so suddenly? >> Okay, so >> apparently he's just out here recording the fine scenery. >> Yeah. Can I get your name and badge number as well, sir? >> Yeah, if you want. It's Bailey 0198. >> Thank you so much for being professional. >> You're doing all right today. >> I'm just hanging around. It ain't as cold as I thought it would be with the temperature dropping down. Yeah. >> Uh, how did uh daylight saving affect you guys? >> I wasn't working. So, >> yeah, >> usually the guys are working, they got to work an extra hour. >> Yeah. Uh, because I caught myself just waking up in the middle of the night and I didn't know why. And then when I got on the internet, you know, I'm like, "Oh, okay. That's what's going on. Okay, daylight savings." So, >> yeah, the extra hour of sleep, I guess it felt good. You know what I'm saying? >> Yeah. Uh, some things that people be having uh issues answering, who who can I answer questions to? I I can't answer. >> You want to say? >> Well, anything I I can answer, I will. >> I mean, I I think you can. What's What's 550 divided by two? >> Oh, that is going to take me a minute. >> How50 be 275, I think. >> Okay. Hey, come on. Hey, >> you probably the second Yeah, you're probably the second officer, I think, that was able to get that. >> Okay. >> Yeah, that's cool. >> Is that a significant thing? And you just do that or >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Have you been doing this at other NASBY locations or this is like the first time you've been over here? >> What you mean? >> Cuz they got Cuz they've been because they talk to each other, right? All the NAB ones talk to Apparently they said that and like I said before, individual matching your descriptions been doing this a few times. It like do you like the NASB structures or something like that? >> My description? >> Yeah. >> What description they give? >> Uh sombrero style hat, black male, gray sweats, grayish sweater with a camera. >> A single remark from the officer completely changed the atmosphere. The man immediately realized something wasn't right. >> You stay around here or what, man? >> What do you mean? >> Do you stay where you live at? >> Are you from Grand View? >> I'm from Earth. >> Earth? >> Yeah. From this planet? >> Likewise. >> Yeah. Where you from? >> Earth. >> Okay. Nice. See, look at that. Y'all pretty cool, man. >> I like y'all. >> Yeah. So, man, I'm not going to be long. You know, just going to be out here getting a couple shots. >> Okay. >> Do you have an ID on you real quick? >> You need my ID? >> Mhm. >> Just to document who we talked to. We because here's the thing, right? Legally constitutional rights, we have detained you for a little bit. So, we need to make a real quick record. >> So, hold on, hold on, hold on. This this was good. So, you just illegally detained me? >> I did say that. >> You just said you detained me. >> Yeah. Is that illegal? >> For what crime? >> We got a call out here. It's a police call. >> That's okay. You get in the call. But now, you just said you detained me. To detain somebody, you need reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime. So, what >> So, what crime did you detain me for? >> I We've already explained why we're here. You just said you got to document your name and date of birth instead of >> Okay. I I don't have to give my ID. >> Yeah. Yeah, you do. >> No, I do. Let's get a supervisor out here. Let's get a captain out here, sir. >> Well, the captain ain't going to come out for this. >> He's going to come out for this, sir? Yes, he will. Yes, he is, buddy. >> When the man asked for a supervisor to clarify things, the officer's reaction left everyone stunned. Was this a sign that the situation was slipping out of control? >> Except that I just told you I've been doing this for 17 years. >> Free general people, right? >> No. I've been doing this line of work for 17 years. Right. >> I have done that without complaint or lawsuit on my record. >> Okay. This will be the first. >> No, it won't be. >> This will be the first thing >> between the two of us. I am the subject matter expert on the law and that includes constitutional law. I have hundreds of hours of study and application of that in my line of work. We are out here for a lawful reason. You've been contacted for a lawful purpose, us performing our duties. That is 100% true. whether you like it or not. And it is within that course of my duties that I'm asking you to provide a name and date of birth that I can verify and we can let you go. >> And Chris, let me ask you a question. I'm not going to ask you. Let me ask you a question. Go to jail. Okay. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question now. >> I will answer it and identify go to jail. >> Listen. If I'm standing on the sidewalk eating a bowl of cereal and someone don't like that, just listen. Just listen. >> People can say what you're doing. >> Anything. You can't turn a constitutional. This is first amendment freedom of the press. And I'm not stopping you from recording. >> But that's what you're doing. >> No, I'm not stopping. >> Anybody can say anything is suspicious. You standing on the corner eating a bowl of Why is he on this corner eating a bowl of cereal? >> Because suspicious about recording a building, not only just a building, a bank, which banks get robbed. >> But what's suspicious about from public? There's no I've >> already explained that. >> But there's no expectation of privacy in public. >> Exactly right. Exactly right. Nobody's Nobody's accusing you of violating any kind of privacy laws. So now so so to to so to to so to to so to to so to to so to to so to to so to listen sir and you say you've been doing this for so long and you should even know this too uh what was your name again >> Savage listen to get someone ID they have to commit a crime >> and right at the peak of tension the situation suddenly took a turn no one expected a decision that would later outrage the entire community but the ending was even more surprising >> basic constitutional rights that's very clear what you what you haven't studied that's the case law that comes from that stuff thousands Thousands and thousands and thousands of police calls for service and contacts every single year and they all go just like this. >> I do, Officer Bailey. Sir, >> okay, but you don't know because you would know what I'm saying is accurate. >> Listen, and this is just the basis. We dealing with the First Amendment here. True. A guy standing in public >> and nobody's stopping you from exercising. I haven't asked No, I haven't asked you to stop recording. >> Okay. >> I haven't I even I haven't even told you you can't build. >> So, what about the Fourth Amendment? >> What about it? What about the fourth amendment? Because that's what you're doing right now. You ask me for my ID. But >> what about it? >> I have rights to privacy, sir. I don't have to show my ID if I haven't committed a crime. And then you said failure to ID. I have to commit a crime first. To have to show you my ID. Failure to ID is a secondary crime, sir. How am I educating you on 17 years? >> You're not educating me because you're incorrect. >> You are incorrect. >> So, what is the fourth amendment? What is the fourth amendment? Cuz that's where we at right now. This is the fourth amendment. Me recording is my first amendment. You're asking me for my ID. This is the fourth. >> I'm going to arrest you at this point. >> I'm not going to resist. >> Okay. You're under arrest. >> I'm going to arrest. You I'm not going to take that out of your hand yet. >> Citizens can sue police officers under SS1,983 when their rights are violated. Officers who break the law may be required to pay damages and face disciplinary action or termination. The officers approached without cause, unlawfully demanded identification, made an illegal arrest, and ultimately had to release the man because there was no valid offense. A clear sign of abuse of authority. Up next, just as he stepped onto the Mercedes dealership and snapped a few photos. An employee immediately walked out with a suspicious look. >> Some of the cars. Mercedes? Oh, >> we're into cars. >> There's no Mercedes. Haven't you seen >> in here? There's a couple >> in the inventory. Well, yeah, it's rough, but you have a good day. You too. >> Thank you. >> So, no. What are you thinking there, Washington? >> What do you think? >> Want to walk down to the Audi dealer? >> Yeah, might as well. >> What are you filming? >> I'm in the middle of shooting a video. >> Okay. For >> That's all I'm really going to say. Okay. >> All right. Have a good night. >> Yep. Okay. >> Just a few minutes later, the situation suddenly shifted. A seemingly harmless question hinted that someone was genuinely bothered by the filming. >> Please don't tell me these guys called the cops on a couple of guys taking pictures of cars. >> Well, see, that's that's uh they just wanted to figure out what y'all were doing. It's not in any trouble. They just called us out to come talk to y'all and see what y'all doing. So, y'all just taking photos? >> They actually called you because we're out on the sidewalk taking pictures. >> Yeah. It's kind of strange. You got to understand this is a busy intersection. >> I don't think so. We're taking pictures of cars. >> What do you think? >> They thought they thought they were videoing. >> Yeah. Look, we got some We got some weird people come out. Yeah. For burglaries and stuff, they'll case the whole area before hitting it. So, >> really? Yeah. >> Somebody walk around with a camera like this looking to case someone. >> I'm not saying that kind of camera. Usually, it's an iPhone. >> Yeah. I think I don't know. I guess they Somebody came out and asked me what we were doing and I just said to them, I'm just doing what I do. I'm not really interested in the train actually. >> No, I understand. So, I mean, y'all are just filming the cars and stuff. >> That's it. Yeah. Well, whatever I can see, but yeah. >> What are y'all making? Like a yall doing like a >> video? >> Video of >> Well, I've been taking some video, taking some pictures. Yeah. I mean, I never know what I'm going to do with it. >> Okay. >> I don't know. >> All right. >> But, uh, new new camera, new mod, new >> that the the swivel is freaking nice. >> I'm still trying to get used to heavy. >> Yeah, I bet. All right. Well, >> just so I know why I spoke name and badge numbers. My name's Officer Fujier. Badge number is 543. >> Okay. >> Mine's Porier 880. >> 880. Okay, cool. >> All right, guys. Well, uh, >> hey, we were down at the Audi dealership, too. You might get some phone calls from them. >> Well, look, like I said, y'all just be careful. Don't don't go walk in the middle of the roadway or block any vehicles. Y >> That brings up a good point. If you don't mind me asking in Louis cuz we're not from Louisiana. Obviously, you could probably tell. >> And then two police vehicles showed up. What made them deploy officers just because two people were standing on the sidewalk with a camera? >> Like an HB on it >> across the street from a post office. >> Okay. >> Right. So there's no crosswatch in any of those streets and there's a median. So I'm thinking to myself, >> even if I walk down to the corner, there's no crosswalk. So do you just cross anywhere or >> you usually try and go to the intersection and wait for a red light and cross cuz legally there? But if there's no marked crosswalk, you really aren't supposed to cross >> if there's no mark. So, what if there's no mark crosswalk at the intersection? That doesn't matter. >> As long as you're walking on a red light, you're being safe about it. Don't just run out in front of traffic, obviously. >> 51 years. I never tried that. >> Well, we got some people that do and it don't work out too well. >> Yeah. No, I'm sure it wouldn't. >> So, you don't want to damage the equipment, but uh No. >> But yeah, uh just wait for a signal to be able to walk across. >> My fault. >> All right, guys. >> Just stay on the sidewalk. Don't come on that property. Don't >> Yeah, cuz they're closing. So, >> they're what? >> They're closing. Go on the sidewalk. Y'all are fine. Uh that's >> we actually never came on there. >> Yeah, they didn't say they did that y'all did. Uh they were just concerned because they didn't understand what >> So they actually just my curious point. They actually are thinking that maybe we're looking at this. >> I don't know. They just called us out and said that this was it is kind of suspicious in a sense. You know, it's kind of strange. >> I don't know. I hate to you know what I've been involved in professional photography for 30 years. I went to to college actually majored in photography 30 something years ago and back then cameras didn't have the stigma they do right >> so I'm just old school man and I don't get it >> I understand look we ain't >> just you saying you know uh I don't want to tell you what I'm doing like if you' said hey I'm a professional photographer and I'm just taking photos of the of the car think they might have been a little bit better >> look >> but they would just >> that's none of their business anyway I completely understand you have a right to your privacy and stuff but >> down here. Everybody is very friendly and if somebody say, "Hey, what you doing?" You're going to tell them. You know, there's no kind of delay on that. It's just the way down here. So, like >> me. So, probably what really stirred them up is me saying I didn't want to. >> When the officers approached, the first thing they said made everyone wonder, had someone misunderstood this situation to a shocking degree. >> That makes sense. I hear the shots very friendly. >> Yes, sir. We are. We'll tell you our whole life story in a matter of 10 minutes if you ask. >> I got time. >> I don't. We got to go to work. We got to go to work. >> I got you, man. But uh yeah, y'all just be safe. Uh if y'all need anything or have any problems with anything, y'all give us a shout. I >> appreciate it. So you let them know that everything's all cool. >> Yeah. Yeah. If he's still there, we'll go talk to them. But like I said, as long as y'all are on the sidewalk, out of the roadway, not on their property, y'all are good. >> Not breaking any of the rules. >> No, sir. >> All right. Cool. Appreciate you guys. Stay safe. >> Take care. >> All right, guys. Uh that's going to wrap this one up. Um, you know, he kind of got me on that like the southern thing, like he said, just the people that live around here, what they're accustomed to is somebody ask you a question, you answer it. I kind of believe that on some level, and I'm sure that is the way it is. Um, and uh, you know, some days you might feel like explaining yourself, some days you don't, but you should certainly not be obligated to explain what you're doing out in public. Um, and these officers handled it properly. Uh, definitely kudos to them. I give them a pass for sure. didn't even ask us for ID. Uh didn't hassle us at all. And uh you know, I still just my own personal self don't get the whole apprehension and people being afraid that we're going to come back. We're casing the place and we're going to come back and rob it later. Um I wouldn't think that right away, but I guess I could see how somebody would. So, you know, again, like I always say, let your moral cops be your guide. Um I would just suggest you don't be paranoid and afraid. And uh >> but more surprising than anything, the officer's reaction was completely opposite of what viewers usually see in audit encounters. The police confirmed the cameraman had committed no violation and left immediately after checking. A crash in the middle of the night. A man insists he was just a passenger, but as the police close in, the truth begins to crack from the victim's own mouth. >> Is this your car? >> This is my truck. This is your truck? >> Yes, sir. >> Were you the only one in here? >> He left. >> He left. >> Where'd he go? >> Down the street. >> He went down the street. >> Yes, sir. >> Are you injured? Cuz we got met on the way. >> Oh, no. No, no, no. >> How'd this happen? >> Uh, >> where'd you hit? >> I have no idea. >> You don't know what you hit? >> No, sir. I didn't hit anything. My friend um friend >> Okay. We had someone call >> that saw I don't know why you're lying to me. Okay. But you're okay though. >> I'm not lying to you. Yes. >> Okay. Well, I have a witness that literally saw what just happened and called in. I'm expecting to roll up on someone that's grievously injured and now you're lying to me about that. Um, so you do not need medical attention? >> No, sir. There's no >> H21 copy 28. Florida India Alpha Tango 0 Luma I A T0L L on a silver Ford F150 and on any injuries >> no injuries uh improvement train >> he is looking for his registration and insurance >> Wow. As a police officer, he knows the law, but instead of cooperating, he chooses to remain silent and lie for what? >> My friend was northbound on A1A. And >> let me let me listen in cuz I'm working the crash. So, he's asking why in reference to the crash. So, >> sure. Uh my friend hit the curb over here and apparently stripped a lot of tires >> and um >> which which way was the vehicle trying? >> Uh northbound. >> Yes, sir. >> How did you end up all the way over here or how did your friend end up all the way over here? Did he get Did the truck get airborne? Did it >> No, no, no, no. I don't I don't think so. >> Where where were you in the vehicle? >> Passenger seat. front passenger, >> you're not going to disclose your your buddy's name that sprinted from the scene of the crash where the witness did not observe anyone leave the vehicle. You're understanding you're claiming to be a cop, so you understand crash privilege in Florida. So you understand that in the investigation of the crash portion that you're required to be honest and forthcoming in reference to what happened in the crash and that there's no Okay. So you understand Florida crash privilege and that you're required to tell me as part of my crash investigation the truth of what happened in the course of the crash knowing that there's a witness and that this is not incriminating questions because the criminal there is no criminal portion. Okay. So, this is you're going to continue to maintain that someone else is driving, understanding crash, Florida crash privilege. >> All right, I think that is um all the questions that I have in reference to the crash. So, you'll just hang out with Officer Latrell. All right. >> No one ran away. No one else was at the scene. So, who was the mysterious driver? Or did he ever exist? A refusal to check in the night. What was he hiding? >> Three to four beers. Yes, sir. Okay. Okay. When was the last time you had those? >> 2 hours ago. >> 2 hours ago. >> All right. >> It's uh almost 4 4 a.m. >> Yep. >> Yeah. Approximately like 2 hours ago. >> Were you driving this vehicle? >> No. >> You weren't driving the vehicle? >> No, sir. Okay. >> Who was driving the vehicle? >> Uh what's your friend's name? Cuz I know with all my friends, I know their names. Oh, >> so >> you you have a no-name friend? >> No, I have a friend. >> All right. Well, I'm going to Are you willing to participate in field sobriety exercises? >> Me? >> Yes. >> Why would I do field sobriety? >> It's a yes or no question. >> Am I willing to do field sobriety? >> That's what he just asked. >> Yep. >> Okay. Um because a reasonable prudent officer would believe there is nobody else for as far as the eye can see. On my way here, we responded fairly quickly and we did not see anybody running from this crash scene. The person who called did not see anybody running from this crash scene. So again, any prudent officer could say that you were the driver of this vehicle, saying there's nobody else around and you're the only licensed driver here. >> Oh, okay. >> From law enforcement to lawb breaker, all in one night and one false confession, the truth fell apart like a broken wheel. And it was his words that pushed things further than a simple accident. >> Field sobriety. Um, so I wasn't driving. You stated that. Yes, sir. >> However, again, presumably any prudent officer can articulate and would believe due to the circumstances, the totality of the circumstances here that that would put you behind the wheel of that vehicle. >> I disagree. >> Given all of the circumstances, there's nobody fleeing from the scene. Nobody was witnessed fleeing from the scene. >> Were you on scene? >> We were on scene shortly after it happened. As soon as it came out, we ran code here. >> Sure. So, I disagree. >> Are you willing to participate in field society exercises? Yes or no? >> No. >> No. >> No. >> Okay. >> Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy. >> So, can someone tell me where the driver is? >> I have a feeling I feel a feeling we're looking at him. >> Yeah. You know what? I would appreciate that. Thank you. Can someone? >> Yeah, you're going to be under the the arrest for >> I understand that. >> To have with your attorney, not to have roadside when you're under. >> So, do you have a real witness? >> Again, these are conversations with your attorney. And you're also welcome to leave the 767 when it's complete, but we're not going to have roadside court. >> Sure. >> So, is there anyone I can talk to you? >> Under Florida statute 837.0. 05. Knowingly providing false information to law enforcement regarding the commission of a crime is considered a firstdegree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail, and a fine of up to $1,000. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. This incident could lead to internal discipline, criminal prosecution, and a lasting impact on public confidence in law enforcement. The incident raises serious questions about the ethics of a police officer putting himself in the position of a stubborn suspect. Act with knowledge, compassion, and integrity so that encounters on the street don't become moments of fear, but instead stand as proof of a more civilized community.
