Taking pictures of houses. So what? That's illegal. I ain't committing no crime. My name Daryl Baker. Can I see what he's trying to I'm asking you for your identification. I don't have to provide it unless I'm being investigated. Say it with me. Investigation. No, it's not just investigation. Yes, it is. It's investigation. Yes, it is. Turn around and face the truck. Do it now. Sitting down. Have a seat. Have a seat. Not your dog. Have a seat. Get your boss out here. Have a seat. These were multiple times when corrupt cops get caught red-handed. Starting with the case of a cop who instantly loses it and immediately gets sued. How you doing? There something I can help you with? No. You jumped out your vehicle. I mean, I didn't Why are you interfering with our investigation? Interfering? That's a physical thing. I'm walking on a public sidewalk. On the evening of August 22nd, 2023, Mr. England, the owner of the Sacramento Community Watch YouTube channel, was walking through downtown Reno, Nevada, when he stumbled upon a police investigation involving officers with the Reno Police Department, specifically Officer Gut and Officer Hoy. As Mr. England approached the scene, he greeted the officers and started asking questions. Officer Hoy, however, quickly ordered him to step away from the police vehicle. Mr. England calmly explained that he was filming for safety purposes, which is within his First Amendment rights. He stood on the public sidewalk, maintaining his distance, but Officer Hoy escalated the situation by accusing him of interfering with the investigation and demanding that he step away. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining the Sacramento Community Watch. We are in the city of Reno, Nevada. right off of West Second Street and North Virginia Street. Uh looks like we have Reno PD. Multiple vehicles. Of course, we're going to walk up and see what's going on. First vehicle on the scene. 171 2110 371. Vehicle is going to be occupied one. Hello. Hello. How's it going, Guardia? Good. Pretty good, man. What's going on out here? It's going to be uh additional vehicle 072 2000 272. It's going to also be occupied one times. Hey, how you doing? Hey, can I help you with something? Yeah. What's going on out here? Nothing. Nothing. Can you step away from my vehicle, please? Excuse me? Step away from my vehicle, please. Step away from your vehicle. Okay, this is our vehicle actually, the city's vehicle. Okay, also when you're dealing with public, I'm recording for my safety as well as yours. This is Officer Hoy with the Reno PD. When Mr. England refused, citing that filming in public spaces is his legal right, officer Hoy placed him in handcuffs and abruptly stopped his live stream. Throughout the encounter, Mr. England continued to argue that he was not obstructing any investigation and was simply documenting what was happening in a public space. Under Nevada law, citizens have the right to record police activities in public places. Moreover, the Fourth Amendment protects the right to record public officials as confirmed in various legal precedents, including the 1995 Ford Ice versus Seattle case, which held that filming police officers in public spaces is a constitutionally protected activity. How you doing? There something I can help you with? No, you jumped out your vehicle. I mean, I didn't Why are you interfering with our investigation? Interfering? That's a physical thing. I'm walking on a public sidewalk reporting. Is there something that can course of your duties. What are you talking about? You want to place your hands behind my back? Okay. Is live streaming too by the way. So, this is your back. This is the worst mistake you could ever make. I'm conducting first on a public sidewalk. This is not a crime scene. You don't have crime scene. This is your mistake. And I want to keep your watch as well. So, you might roll your lieutenant out. Thank you, sir. All right, sir. What's your last name? England. England. Yeah. What am I being charged with? Obstructing or resisting a peace officer. How do you spell England? How did I obstruct? Where did I obstruct? Does it spell like the country? Yeah. How did I obstruct though? There's no crime scene tape. There's people walking on the sidewalk all around. As Mr. England was processed, he continued to protest the arrest, asserting that he was simply exercising his right to document the scene. He also expressed a desire to speak to a supervisor and claimed that his detainment was a violation of his rights. The officer's response was dismissive, asserting that Mr. England could discuss the matter further once he was out of jail. In the days following the arrest, Mr. England filed a lawsuit against Officer Hoy and the Reno Police Department for violating his Fourth Amendment rights. However, this next case unfolds a massive lawsuit in the making. On July 6th, 2022, deputies from the Cook County Sheriff's Office responded to a call regarding an individual allegedly taking pictures of houses in Northbrook, Illinois. The first deputy to arrive on the scene was Deputy Hamilton, who encountered a man, later identified as Daryl Baker, walking near the intersection of Walnut Circle and Cottonwood Road. Deputy Hamilton approached Mr. Baker and initiated a conversation. The interaction was captured on the deputy's body camera. The officer questioned Mr. Baker about why he was walking in the neighborhood, to which Baker responded that he was simply walking through and had no obligation to explain himself. As the conversation continued, it became clear that Mr. Baker did not want to engage with the deputy and expressed frustration with being followed. Can I help you? What you mean, how may you help? Because I want to see if you lost anything. What? I want to see if you lost anything. You want to see that for? because I had got a couple calls says you was wandering around here and I can't wander. Yes, you can. It's a crime for wanderings. I never said you're saying it's a crime for wandering. So, what's the problem? Well, people are concerned that you here what people is concerned. What that got to do with me? It's a it's a problem. Yes. It might be a problem. People are concerned about you. They want I don't know about these people. Okay. But they want to know why you're in the neighborhood. Why? They don't need to know why I'm in the neighborhood. I'm in the neighborhood. I feel like I being in the neighborhood. Well, you just feel like being in the neighborhood. I just feel like being in the neighborhood. So you just feel like So you just feel like walking through the neighborhood neighborhood. Yes. Absolutely. Like I can't walk through black. You black out. I know. I'm going to walk with you. We going to walk. We walking together, right? I can't walk. What you mean? I didn't say you can't walk. How you harassing me, bro? How? I'm harassing you. Come because you w I don't even know you first and foremost and you just hopped out of your car asking me why am I walking through? I'm on camera, bro. The whole time I've been out here, I'm on camera. He repeatedly stated that he had done nothing wrong and accused deputy Hamilton of harassment. Mr. Baker mentioned that he was from New York and was an independent contractor, further asserting that he had every right to be there. At this point, Sergeant Janulus, Deputy Hamilton's supervisor, arrived on the scene. He asked Mr. Baker to provide identification, which Baker refused to do, stating that he had not committed a crime. Tensions continued to rise as Deputy Hamilton and Sergeant Janulus persisted in demanding identification from Mr. Baker. Despite his insistence that he had done nothing wrong, the deputy's behavior escalated with Mr. Baker accusing them of racial profiling as he believed the suspicion of his actions was rooted in him being black in a predominantly white neighborhood. Sergeant Janulus then informed Mr. Baker that he was being detained, citing section 107-14 of the Illinois Code of Criminal Procedure. You're not leaving. Stay right here. What do you mean I ain't leaving? You're not leaving? Why I ain't doing nothing? I still need I still need I didn't do nothing. I didn't do nothing. I didn't do nothing. I didn't do nothing. Why you got your hand on your gun? Why am I being detained? Why is these harassing me? Why am I being harassed? I'm walking while black through the neighborhood. Leave me alone. Stop walking. I don't have to. Stop walking. I don't have to. I'm leave. I'm doing what I've been doing. Walking, taking pictures. You not going to do nothing. Stop putting your heads up. Right now you're being shooting. Everything's fine. You about to shoot. Everything's fine. Everything fine. Everything's fine. You about to shoot? I'm not shooting nobody. So why you got the gun on me? It's not a gun. Why am I being detained? I told you. Not going to cooperate. This how we're going to handle this. Absolutely. Let go of the phone. Thank you. You got a gun on me. Anybody got no plan? You got a gun on me. Yeah. Okay. Back this way. Why y'all Why am I got the cuffs on me? Told you why. Why? You're acting erratic. Wild black. Walking wild black. Walking. Why am I going in the car for Cuz you are. For what? Cuz it's more secure. For what? I walk through any neighborhood I want to. I drink what the I want to drink. I smoke what the I want to smoke. At no point during the encounter was Mr. Baker formally arrested, but the deputies insisted on further questioning and following him. The situation raises several legal issues regarding the reasonable suspicion required for police to detain an individual. Under Illinois law, officers must have a reasonable suspicion that a person is engaged in criminal activity to justify a detention. In the 2011 case of Jones versus Clark, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it is not a crime to take pictures in public, even in a predominantly white community. However, in this next case unfolds the largest lawsuit ever filed against cops. On June 19th, 2022, officers from the New Haven Police Department in Connecticut responded to a weapons complaint at a local block party celebrating Junth. The officers identified 36-year-old Richard Randy Cox as a suspect and confronted him. The situation quickly escalated and Cox was arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm, breach of peace in the second degree, and carrying a pistol without a permit. Upon entering the transport vehicle, Cox was placed in handcuffs, but as per the department's policy at the time, no seat belts or additional safety restraints were used. This situation, though compliant with departmental guidelines, has sparked debate regarding the constitutional implications of not securing prisoners during transport, especially for pre-trial detainees. According to Supreme Court rulings, when the state takes a person into custody, it assumes responsibility for their safety. Yeah. I'm going to drive the other way. Look at this. There he is right there. Oh my gosh. Has to be. It has to be 100%. Yeah. Yep. That is That's exactly it. [Music] What's up, buddy? Hey, can I talk to you? Can I talk to you for a second? You hold up real quick. What's up? Hold up real quick. Just hold up. Okay. All right. What's up? Is there anything on you? Anything on you? My phone. What? I'm on the phone. Cover my mom. All we're doing is detaining you right this second. Okay. Done. Done. Sorry. 75. Let's put on a glove first. Are you a permit holder? You got anything else on you? You got gloves on? I got them. What's your name? Hey, what's your name? Crack. What is your name? All right. Step right in there. Got it. One leg at a time. Watch your head. Watch your head. All right. Yo. Put away your second. Is that That's his stuff. Uh yeah, that's his stuff. Harp. That's his stuff. His wallet, keys, and stuff. Harp. Yeah, that's it. At approximately 8:30 p.m., Officer Diaz arrived with the transport wagon, which was not outfitted with seat belts, and began the journey to the detention center. However, things took a drastic turn when Diaz slammed on the brakes to avoid an approaching vehicle. Cox, visibly in distress, was left struggling to communicate. When Diaz eventually realized Cox's condition, he contacted dispatch for an ambulance. But rather than immediately stopping to provide help, Diaz continued his drive toward the detention center. During this period, Cox repeatedly stated he could not move and was in excruciating pain. Yet Diaz, seemingly indifferent to his condition, continued to drive, putting Cox's health and well-being at further risk. Even when the ambulance arrived, Cox was dragged out of the vehicle without any precaution for a potential spinal injury, a decision that could have aggravated his condition. [Music] Help. That car went right in front of us and we almost got hit, bro. What's going on? I can't hear you. What's going on? What's going on? All right, hold on. Let me stop somewhere. Hold on. What happened? What? You fell. What happened? Can you move at all? I can't move. Why? How your leg is all the way up there? I understand, brother. All right. I can't move you. So, I have to hold on. I'm going to have to go get it. Y almost there. You're almost there. You got to get your shoulders out. Ready? 1 2 3. Stand up. There we go. All right. Yeah. How you making up? Ready? Uh, actually, don't go get that [ __ ] Get the wheel. In the aftermath, officer Diaz faced intense scrutiny for his actions during the transport. He was accused of violating both the New Haven Police Department's procedures and the constitutional rights of Richard Randy Cox. Diaz's actions potentially amounted to deliberate indifference to a serious medical condition, which could lead to charges of misconduct and reckless endangerment. But wait for this next case, where insane cop arrests entire family over a speeding ticket. On April 6th, 2024, a seemingly ordinary motorcycle ride turned into a troubling encounter with law enforcement in Franklin County, Arkansas. A woman who has chosen to remain anonymous, was riding her motorcycle home with her fiance, Shaun Bourne, following behind in his truck. Their peaceful ride took a turn when Shawn stopped at a store without informing her. When she realized he was no longer behind her and couldn't reach him due to a lack of cell service, her mind raced with worstc case scenarios. Fearing something had happened to him, she quickly turned her motorcycle around and sped back toward the last place she had seen him. That's when she was pulled over by Deputy John Griffith of the Franklin County Sheriff's Office. The body cam footage from Griffith's patrol car captured the interaction. Deputy Griffith, Frank County Sheriff's Office. The reason I pulled you over, you was running 91 and 55. My boyfriend, I think he's going to leave you in. Okay. Well, that's still not an excuse to run 91 to 55. Got your license, registration, proof, insurance? It's in his truck. It's in this truck. You don't have a driver's license? No registration? No insurance? I'm Everything is in this truck. I'm so sorry. You got motorcycle endorsement? I have a permit. Yes. On your on your driver's license? Yes. You have an endorsement saying you can ride a motorcycle. Okay. All right, man. If you would go ahead and step off the bike for me. At this point, you're being detained. Can I call my boyfriend? No. Hey, RB. Huh? I'm being arrested. I got to go. So you you've done exactly what I told you not to do to I have to tell them. Nobody knows where I am. Stand over here at the front of the car. I thought you said he was in a wreck. I didn't know where he was. That's why he was scared. That's why he was going back. That's why he was going 91 and a 55. I thought I was in trouble. I'm sorry. Stand at the front of my vehicle. Yes, sir. You have no proof of ownership of that bike right there. He's bringing it. He's bringing it. kiss her. He had stopped her for speeding, but what began as a routine traffic stop quickly escalated. Things took a turn for the worse when Shawn, who was nearby, noticed the traffic stop and approached to see what was happening. His actions appeared calm and non-threatening, but Griffith grew alarmed, possibly mistaking a phone in Shawn's pocket for a weapon. Acting on this assumption, the deputy ordered Shawn to the ground and arrested him. Larry, a bystander who had attempted to clarify the situation, was also detained. Well, she's detained at this time. I'm going to tow the bike. Um, you can't. And she going to kill somebody riding like that. Where was you at? I was at the dollar store. You was at the dollar store. Then she wasn't looking for you cuz she was coming this way. All right. You got DL on you. Uh, because you got out on my traffic stop. So, You got proof of ownership for the bike? I do not. Okay. All our paperwork in the house. Okay. Sir, I'm going to be as nice as I can be. If I tell you to leave one more time, I'm going to arrest you. I am not on scene. You are? You're on my traffic stop. Get in again. Can you listen to me for a second? Nope. We're done. So now I'm going to be arrested. Absolutely. For what? For interfering with governmental operations. Okay. So I'm asking you to get her her wallet. Get arrested me now. Dude, [Applause] you're causing safety concerns for me on my traffic. Stop. Leaving. I'm on the other side of Come here. You're going to stop. I'm giving you a lawful order. Stop. Stop. Stop. Turn around. Face the truck. Turn around. Face the truck. Do it now. No. Turn around. Face the truck. Do it now. Turn around and face the truck. Do it now. You get your boss out here. I want him now. I'll get him out here. Get him out here right now. Let's go. Have a seat. I'm not sitting down. I'm not You are down. I'm not your sitting down. Have a seat. Have a seat. I'm not your dog. Have a seat. Get your boss out here. Have a seat. Do it now. I got my phone in my back. Have a seat or I'm trying to take the phone out of the Get your boss out here. Arkansas law does not permit arrest for actions that provoke fear in an officer unless there's intent to threaten or obstruct justice. Moreover, the state's obstruction laws do not apply when a citizen reasonably believes that an officer's conduct is unlawful. Shawn and Larry were later released and both have launched a GoFundMe campaign to support their legal battle against what they see as an unjust arrest. Their calm reactions stand in stark contrast to Deputy Griffith's hostile behavior and failure to deescalate. Now, the Borins are pursuing legal accountability, highlighting a troubling case of overreach and misuse of authority. If you thought that was bad, this is because you didn't know about this case where cops illegally arrested a person. So he crushed them in court. On December 8th, 2022, an altercation between Cory Drew and law enforcement officers in Cottonwood, Arizona, escalated following an ongoing dispute regarding Drew's service dog and other issues at the Thousand Trails Verde Valley campground. The conflict began when security officer Steven Beiel requested a police escort for park manager Scott Woolly to speak with Drew. Drew, upset with the campground staff, was parked in his truck when Deputy Samuel Contrarus arrived and activated his emergency lights. After Deputy Contrarus approached the vehicle, Drew was initially told that he was under arrest for disorderly conduct. This is Verie Valley Thousand Trails. We need the sheriff. Okay, this is the sheriff. This is a security officer here. We're having an issue with a guest who's become um aggravated and is now threatening if we approach him. Step out of the vehicle, please. What? I'm on private property, boss. Have I broken the law? Step out of the vehicle, please. Have I broken a law? No, but this officer safety, we don't know what's in the vehicle. We like you step out and we can talk to you. Well, this isn't a traffic stop. Step out of the car. We're giving you a lawful order. Step out of the car. This is not a traffic stop. Step out of the car. I have not broken a law. Okay. Well, I'll tell you what. You're under arrest. So, get out of the car. Get out of the car. What am I under arrest? Disorderly conduct. Get out of the car. What is What disorderly? Get out of the car. We'll talk about it, but right now you're resisting arrest. However, Drew contested the arrest, asking if any officer had witnessed him engage in any disorderly conduct. Lieutenant Frank Barbaro intervened, stating Drew was being detained but not arrested. This confusion arose from the officer's lack of direct observation of Drew's behavior, which did not seem to justify the criminal charge. Disorderly conduct, as per Arizona law, includes disruptive behavior, unreasonable noise, or actions likely to provoke immediate retaliation. However, no evidence supported that Drews conduct met this definition. As the situation escalated, Drew repeatedly refused to exit his vehicle, asserting his right not to comply without cause. Get out of the car. We're going to drag you out. We're going to break your window. Drag you out. Don't do this. What? What conduct did I do that? Disorderly conduct. It's a criminal charge. Is there a charge here? My lieutenant's right here. Get out of the car. Disorderly conduct to arrest you. Well, he's saying I'm under arrest. So, once we're on the window, we'll talk to each other. Well, am I under arrest or not? We're doing not under arrest in nature. But you're being detained. You're being lawfully detained. Okay, I'll agree with you there. Want to act like a normal person? Am I under arrest like you're off? Okay. What did I just tell you? He said I'm not. What did I tell you? That you're being detained, right? Sir, please step out of the vehicle. No. Okay. So, I said I'll talk to you. Okay. Do you have any weapons in your car? I'm not going to answer any questions. Okay. Because this is a big difference between us taking you out or not. You can run on the window the whole way and let us see your hands or we're going to break you out of the car. Roll down the window. The reason I'm staying is cuz I have a right to stay and I haven't done anything wrong. And we we're going to figure that out. The officers then charged Drew with resisting arrest, failure to comply, and failure to provide identification, which led to further complications. However, because the officers had not attempted an actual arrest, Drew argued that no grounds existed for the charges, especially as they later clarified he was only being detained, not arrested. The charge for failure to comply with a police officer stemmed from Drew's refusal to follow the officer's instructions. Arizona law requires individuals to comply with lawful orders. But it is questionable whether the officer's instructions in this case were lawful since Drew was not engaged in a criminal act. But hold on your seats because this next case is more shocking than the others. On November 21st, 2023, Michelle Allen Gregory, vice president of the New York Coalition for Open Government, attended a New Haventown board meeting in Osgo, New York. During the meeting, the board moved into an executive session, and Miss Alan Gregory questioned whether minutes would be taken. Town Supervisor Dan Barney, who had previously been listed on the coalition's naughty list for government transparency, asked her to leave the meeting. However, Ms. Alan Gregory refused. Supervisor Barney issued a second warning, but Miss Alan Gregory stood firm, stating that she was simply requesting transparency. Tensions escalated when the supervisor called the police. Deputy Caitlyn Gregory from the AWo County Sheriff's Office responded to the call and the interaction was captured on body camera footage. What What was the first 6,00 $6,396 is what we budgeted. We're going to 96. Yep. $6,396. We're going to increase it to $8,396. And since decisions were made during the public hearing, there will be Excuse me. I will second that. Mary, excuse No, her. She's out. She's gone. That's the second time she's out. Take her out right now. Three warnings. I get a second warning. No, you don't get out. Go. I'm not leaving. You got to go. Sorry. You got to go. Ma'am, we have to go. I understand what you're saying, sir. I will need to be physically removed. Um, and I I understand what you're saying. I don't want to physically remove. You have to go. I will leave. The supervisor asked you to leave. You have to leave. Supervisor Bonnie. Hey, Dr. H. Hi. Good. How are you? Um, we had a situation where we had a person disrupted our meeting. I issued a warning. Okay. And upon the second uh incident, asked her to leave. She refused to leave. Now, she's got some friends here that are refusing to leave, too. Uh, we're done with our seating. Okay. And, uh, it's time for people to go. Okay. Okay. Where's the Where's This is her here. Not sure what name she's going by tonight. She likes Jane Public, Michelle Allen. Okay. You leaving, ma'am? Yeah. I was told I had to wait because I was being the police were being called on me. All right. So, you have friends with you, too? Who's Who's your friends? You guys? Okay. All right. Well, let's just have you guys. He told me I had to leave a public meeting and then he said he called the cops, so I was waiting for the police to come so I would not be physically removed. I got you. So, cuz I'm allowed to speak at a public meeting. Okay. Deputy Gregory calmly explained that Ms. Alan Gregory had been asked to leave the meeting and had refused, prompting the call for law enforcement assistance. Deputy Gregory attempted to explain that Ms. Alan Gregory's refusal to leave could be classified as obstructing governmental administration, a charge under New York penal law. She also claimed that the refusal to provide identification would result in an additional charge for obstruction. Ms. Alan Gregory argued that she was not required to provide her ID unless a crime had been committed. Actually, uh it's uh obstructing governmental administration. And so for that, we're going to need your identification. You don't have to commit a crime to be investigated, right? In order to provide my ID, you have and you have to be investigated. Yes, you have to. You have to be investigated that you're investigated. Doesn't have to be a crime. Not providing my ID. You have to You will provide your ID or what? Or you're going to be placed in custody. Uh for what? For OGA. You'll have a second charge for that. Okay. I would suggest you not do this and you call a supervisor. Oh, I would love to call my supervisor. So these are local policies. These are local rules of decorum which are not a statute. These are not a legal statute. I don't think he said that this was a statute. These are just other documents he had in his hand. Explaining what is the legal statute. This is a local policy. What statute am I being arrested for? Obstructed governmental administration. Can I see that step? You are not supposed to pet me down, sir. Well, you're not supposed to, sir. And we're not doing it here with other Stop. Can we go outside, please? No. No. Right this way, man. she wouldn't believe. However, Miss Alan Gregory continued to challenge the deputy's reasoning, asserting that the charges were not valid and that the situation was a violation of her rights. Deputy Gregory also noted that if Ms. Alan Gregory refused to leave the premises, she could be charged with trespassing.
