Michael pritch of the Little Egg Harbor Police Department stopped a young man walking on the side of the road the kid responded by giving Corporal pritz the finger and the police officer caught this reaction on his body camera why are you giving me the finger I'm free to go am I free to go what's your problem am I free to go well I promise I can leave why are you giving me the finger when you're walking huh come here I'm free to go no you walk preach is upset because the kid disrespected him claiming that it is illegal to give a police officer the finger he is harassing the kid and demanding his name get over here finger that's legal no it isn't says who says it all pull up the law huh pull off the law what's your name what's the law what's your name what's your name but the truth is that according to the first and 14th amendments it is not a criminal offense to give a person the finger it is protected speech in other words the cop has no right to detain the kid the kid is swearing at the cop and walking away police officer pritch is furious but the kid makes it clear that it is not illegal to swear at a cop pritch disagrees and grabs the young man who is now screaming for help whatever what come here come here get over here get over here what get over here I'm not doing anything illegal yeah you are you just cursed me off that's not your crime yes it is says who says me says who turn around come on yes it is no it's not why you curse me it's not a crime what's your name it's not a crime what's your name pritch turns off his body camera and only turns it back on when backup arrives it should have remained activated throughout the entire encounter suggesting that Corporal Michael pritch took the law into his own hands said you're being mean because you're acting straight just what that's not legal it is legal he's allowed to entertain you until he performs so what am I doing though what am I doing that made him detain me what legal right I wrote by him twice you shot me the finger so I turned around and say well is that a crime problems that's not a crime kid doesn't back down he knows his rights and remains true to them that's not a crime he's looking at you because he's like what the [ __ ] you want me to do because it's not a crime I know my rights who are you I don't have to say any of that um what's that you do if you're being entertained for what reason what legal reason am I being detained for where are you coming from and where what legal reason am I being detained for I need to know that legally I need to know that why are you shooting me the figure why are you is that illegal yes it is causing a public disturbance in a public alarm if you are cursing so we're single one when you are cursing in public you are causing the public disturbance you're being a nuisance to the public in what way when he was driving past that's singular that's singular well I'd like to see you guys prove it in court it's it's called it's called posting calls from a public disturbance all right so at that point what he's doing is he's not saying you're being charged with anything at that point to make sure that there is nothing make sure you're okay what reason does he need to detain it he thought maybe you thought you were signaling him down I'm not sure that I was doing what were you signaling to him he didn't do very well that I wasn't I'm making sure you're okay that's so funny like you're not here for my safety you're not trying to protect how do you know you made the side of the road and you're you're cursing and you're flipping the bird once at him I gave him the finger once that will not hold up you know him that will not hold up that will not hold up in a court of life I know my rights do you know him first amendment is for your freedom of speech okay okay what does that have to do with with was I making a joke action was I making a call to action it's it's Behavior that's out of the opportunity I understand how it works clearly if you stopped all the way back there I'm assuming you guys were back there and you just couldn't believe it a bit further just continue to walk I wasn't running I I told you that I was free to go and you uh all the stuff and you ran down here I was walking once he was in order for you to stop you're supposed to stop I did stop when he originally said it but I was asking is it illegal and he took off yeah because I kept walking because you weren't you weren't pursuing at the first I only started pursuing because you got a little upset okay we're here we're here at this point now okay you've brought the attention to yourself you lost the public alarm yep so now well I'd like to do you legally because I'm not charging you with anything well I want to know from your perspective I believe okay how long have you been a cow six years listen longer than you I'm not a copy listen yeah what like what I don't understand what the point of this is I'm walking that's what I'm doing okay it's the fourth amendment to be allowed to walk without seizures or anything like that you sure about money on it you sure that's what performance it gives you the right to walk without seizure what's going to be seizured while you're walking my body my person idiot I'm seizing you did anybody you were about to come on you were about to you said I was going to be under arrest you said you were disappointed so now what happened so so now what happened he just admitted he gives you a lawful order to stop and you do it All Florida though and you do not legally it was not a lawful do not stop then that becomes a criminal offense and then yes you can be put under but it's not a lawful order then I take it to court and then he'd get sued and I get period of Damages is that what you want yeah yeah maybe what you what's going to happen it may not be what happens okay okay no because at this point for what reason we're detained okay because you told yourself he didn't stop so therefore you need to identify yourself as a part of the investigation so what is your name okay I'm gonna need all of your badge numbers I will give you everything written down on your card what's your rank I'll give it all too much I'm a control man that's my rank patrolman okay okay interesting so what if I could give you if you have an idea why it's perfect am I okay I'll take it to court because this is still this is still entertainment are you a juvenile this isn't illegal detainment I'm not going to answer that you have to why because you're being detained he hands over his ID and the cops call his parents against his constitutional right to protect its speech I said I'll give you my ID buddy are you a juvenile you so me no Okay so better because it has to be handled a little bit differently that's all if you're a juvenile I'll have to call your parents and I have to advise them that I'm out with you and then I'm speaking that's all it is okay foreign this is illegal there's nothing yes it is it is we're going to find out okay can you call us a public disturbance in a public alarm and you become a nuisance to the public okay we you'll legally have to prove that I was a nuisance how would you do that how would you do that I just wanted camera systems okay so when he goes by in the car and he sees you doing what you're doing and what was I doing to be there and what part of that caused a disturbance that's what I'm trying to legally understand I don't understand is that a body camera that's what it is perfect perfect Tuckerton doesn't have them you know that tuckering's been on back order for a month because I have a lawsuit against them that's why and I wish they'd have body cams I would love a thing at body cream and it takes out the bad cop that's what it's worth it's not for the good job it's in the bad Club to protect the bat uh as well it's for all of us right it's froze it's for everybody that's involved in the situation okay appreciate it there you go okay now listen if you have any problems or anything and you want to come down you want to talk to somebody our supervisors are always there as well okay well I'm going to take a lawsuit so who would I press criminal charges against or what you're gonna have to you're gonna have to call you're gonna have to call and figure that out with a lawyer I don't need to answer that I'm asking you where would I go to impress charges against a police officer you would have to come down and file a complaint it's at this police station you would have to file a complaint with the courts got it okay and then you can go from there if you want to see if you can press charges and whatnot violated your rights appreciate it okay stay out of the roadway stop causing a public alarm Lieutenant Mark Coble of the Long Beach Police Department in California is telling these bikers that they aren't allowed to ride on the boardwalk one of them asks the cop if the law has changed if you're if you're up here and doing tricks and people I don't care but once you get off of this you can't ride your bikes down here if you can pass that word along that will keep people from complaining to me and I won't come talk to you is there a law change what's that is there a law change yeah you can't ride your bikes on the boardwalk when is that law change uh it's been a lot for quite a while 16.16.502 specific sectional code that states you can ride your bicycles around out here so I don't know what law you're referring to okay you want to go that way we can go that way if you want to pull out your Civic code and you want to look up the code 16 not 16.502 states that you can ride your bicycle out here so if you want to come out here you want to tell people exactly where the rainbow Harbor Escalon which is this entire area that you just park it to we're all the way at the end down there to all the way this around here that's Rebel Hardware Esplanade 15.15. so did you get your law degree on Facebook or where did you actually obtain that so do I have to have a law degree to be an informed citizen is that what you're saying it's wrong to be informed it's wrong to know the law it's raw it's wrong I got it by knowing my rights is it wrong I know your rights as a citizen because last time I checked when officers come and they try to invalidate your rights by telling you laws and enforcing their opinions that's not what you're supposed to do you're supposed to support the law and what the law says you can ride your bikes out here you have no business coming up and harassing anyone telling that they shouldn't ride their bikes oh this is harassment now when you tell someone to not ride their bike when they're legally able to ride their bike yes that is harassment your opinion is irrelevant the law states are going to ride our bike now do you have anything else to say are you going to leave us alone the officer agrees that the bikers are in the right you have a nice day yeah you have a nice day we're going to continue riding on man this is all right I've been riding here for six years you know how many cops come out here and try to pull this [ __ ] hey dude hey what is
