First Amendment auditors filming at a California post office are detained and one is arrested following reports of threats and pepper spray. The video documents a heated confrontation over constitutional rights, the legality of the detention, and the conduct of police officers on federal property.
Why are you here talking to me? I can go back inside if I want to.
Not right now, you can't. Yes, I can.
Because you're being detained. Yes, I can. Why would I be detained?
I already told you, my supervisor is here. Where's the supervisor? Wow.
This is not embarrassing to you? You're embarrassing yourself.
You're actually embarrassing yourself. No.
But that's okay. Stay right here.
No. Stay right here.
Hey, don't touch. Don't touch. Stay right here.
Don't touch. Remove your hands. Stay right here.
Remove your hands. Stay right here.
Remove your hands.
So I'm going to try to make this as brief as possible.
And guess what? This is another post office video.
And more tyrannical female cops to expose in today's video, guys.
And this takes place out in California.
And it was recorded by the YouTube channel Sidewalks 22.
I think he's out with Silence Boy, if I'm not mistaken.
They're out peacefully exercising their rights on federal property.
And of course, the majority of people in this building do not like what they're doing.
So they get the cops called on them, right?
But we're going to see first in the beginning here.
So you can see how this escalated.
How this postal worker gets in front of this cameraman inside the lobby
and starts playing music from his phone really loud.
So he can try to get him with some copyright strike.
It's not going to happen.
So we're going to watch this a little bit.
And then we're going to get to the really good parts when these female cops show up.
And you're going to see immediately how they approach the scene with their little gloves.
Just like James Freeman, it reminds me of, to be honest.
By the way, stick around, guys.
Thanks for tuning in.
We're definitely going to drop both of these channel links in the description below.
Let them know I sent you.
With that being said, pop your popcorns and roll one up.
Why do you play the music?
My opinion.
Do you have country music that you can play?
I like country.
Beauty and the Beast.
Hey, you're showing your you're showing your documents.
Look at your phone.
You're showing your documents.
Protect your identity.
Beauty and the Beast.
It's enough.
I already know what you like.
What were they saying to you?
That's what we were.
That's what we were told.
So she's coming right.
She's putting the gloves on.
She's ready.
Is it only you two?
What is she trying to do?
OK, the gloves.
So we were told we were told you guys had pepper spray on you.
We're threatening them.
That's a lie.
OK, we have our supervisor right now.
All right.
OK, that's what I need.
So you guys don't don't have any any pepper spray on you?
No.
OK.
And you guys weren't threatening anybody, right?
Yeah.
Did they tell you they were making threats to us?
No, we were.
Of course not, right?
Of course not.
I'm sorry.
A crazy lady that she didn't like that I was filming.
You know, there's cameras inside, too.
OK, so we're going to review those as well.
So if you guys were in there brandishing pepper spray and threatening people,
that's going to show on the camera as well.
And then.
So let's not play games.
And then.
You sound like you're you sound.
I asked you a question.
Were you guys in there threatening people?
Sound like you're on their side already.
Yes or no.
You're buying it.
Yes or no.
There's no there's no there's no need to answer any questions.
There's no need to answer your questions.
There's no need.
Yes, there is.
Because right now there's no need.
No, there's no need.
Nobody's going to incriminate under the Fifth Amendment.
Nobody's going to do it.
That's fine.
You shouldn't do it yourself.
We're conducting an investigation.
Then you're asking.
We haven't been in there the last.
But to me, that's why we're asking questions to me.
So that is part of our job.
Sounds to me where you talk.
Sounds to me.
You talk.
Understand that you are being detained right now because I'm not being detained.
Again, ladies and gentlemen, this took place out in California.
And I really don't think that these police officers have jurisdiction on that federal
property.
I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
Just by the way, this cop's demeanor is and how she's treating the camera guy right now.
She's already treating them like they're criminals, like at least investigate a little
bit first.
You know, don't just show up there and start detaining people without even talking to the
calling party.
And a lot of these people that call the cops on First Amendment auditors, they like to
exaggerate and lie to the police.
So this is what's going on in this situation, because silence boy at the end of this video
actually gets arrested because he used this pepper spray or something.
I don't know.
I didn't see him use the pepper spray in this in this video here.
But just the way these cops are approaching the situation, it's unacceptable.
We were.
I'm not being detained.
I can leave right now.
You guys were being.
I can leave right now if you want.
Right now.
Actually, no, you can't.
Don't touch.
So wait till my supervisor gets here.
But at the end of the day, you can't detain me.
Where's the crime?
You guys are banishing and threatening people with pepper spray.
Were you here?
That's what I was.
Have you verified?
And that's why I'm asking you a question.
So have you verified?
So you have no grounds, right?
You have no grounds for this.
What are the grounds?
Where's your proof?
Because right now, that's what we were.
So it's a hearsay right now.
OK, you want to go in circles?
We could do this.
No, this is not circle.
This is what I'm telling you.
How many years in the force?
You sound like a like a like a like a.
Solve me.
I'm not trying to.
I'm not.
No, I really don't.
What you're telling me doesn't sound doesn't sound to me either.
And then solve me all you want.
You're telling me has has no impression on me.
I know you guys are trying to do that.
I don't know.
I don't care that if you know, if you know.
I don't think that's on you.
That's that's that's that's your personal interpretation.
OK, that's your personal interpretation right now.
We're going to go check those.
So you've been 18 years here and you still don't have any any higher ground than this.
That's fine.
Just like a regular cop.
Wow.
Oh, you think that's a waste of time?
Yeah.
What have you been doing 18 years?
Everybody, this woman is trying to detain me.
I'm not trying to.
I am detaining you.
For what?
OK, what was the ground?
Do you not understand?
Do I just explain?
I'm not a dude.
OK, well, then you serve the people.
I'm not you serve the people.
I'm not I'm not going to.
Aren't you a public servant?
And over and over with.
Aren't you a public servant?
No, I don't.
Then why are you here talking to me?
I can go back inside if I want to.
Not right now.
You can't.
Yes, I can.
Why would I be detained?
I already told you my supervisor.
Where's the supervisor?
Let's put this woman to more shame.
You're a classic failure as a cop.
She's detaining me for no reason.
Wow.
This is not embarrassing to you.
You're embarrassing yourself.
You're actually embarrassing yourself.
No, that's OK.
I'm not.
I'm not the one applying authority.
They're right here.
No, hey, don't touch.
Don't touch.
Remove your hands.
Hey, what's wrong with this?
With this lady?
With this woman?
Is that the search?
Yes, that's the sergeant.
Search.
This woman is trying to detain people based on hearsay.
Search over there.
I don't know.
The sun gives you video footage.
OK.
So sweet.
So you won't be in there on camera threatening people?
There's no incriminating.
Don't answer questions.
Do not answer questions to nobody.
For nobody.
Supervisor or no?
Uh, supervisor.
Supervisor?
Yes.
And where's the person that...
She's crazy.
It's crazy.
People with gloves already.
Gloves on.
Why is that?
Why do you put gloves on?
Yeah, but that's a lie.
You'll see the video like a...
I like being, uh, turn free.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
Batch number?
And last name?
Paulis.
OK.
What about you?
Uh, sign 28644.
OK, cool.
You're not even letting me talk.
I know that, right?
It's a hearsay thing.
Nobody has done anything.
Hearsay.
She's so ready to detain people.
I'll let you go inside.
She's so ready to detain people right now.
She says I'm detained.
You don't have any weapons on you, right?
She says I'm detained.
You guys are.
Both of you guys are.
Why?
They're investigating crime.
Under what?
Under what crime?
Have we verified the speculations that people have?
That's what she's doing.
So she's going to verify that right now.
I think she was talking to you and then she was distracted by talking to you.
I can go inside if I want to.
No, not right now.
Why not?
Under what?
Under what grounds?
Investigating a crime.
Wow.
Where's the victim?
I know no searches.
I don't consent to searches.
I don't consent to searches at all.
I don't know.
I will not.
No, I will not.
I don't consent to searches.
I do not consent to searches.
I don't need your consent right now.
Yes.
You have no reasonable articulation for all costs.
Just make sure there's nothing in his waistband.
Nothing there?
No, sir.
This is illegal right here.
This is illegal.
I'm going to leave right now.
Why?
Why not?
Where's the police tape?
We don't need police tape.
Yes, you do.
Copy that.
Yes, you do.
Yeah.
All right.
Where's the person that says the...
We're verifying that right now.
But where's the...
And as soon as we're done verifying that...
Where's the party?
As soon as we're done verifying that, we'll let you know, okay?
What are you going to do though?
Can you have a seat right here?
Sit?
Sit on the ground for me.
Yeah, just sit down.
Oh, my back?
I have a bad back.
Okay.
Can you take it off and put it on the ground?
What?
Your backpack so you can have a seat?
Yes.
Yeah, sit on the ground, puppy.
Sit on the ground like a dog.
They had to top it off with that sit on the ground stuff, huh?
Guys, for those of you that are new to these type of videos, don't do that.
Don't sit on the ground if cops tell you to sit on the...
Sit on the curb over there.
Because no, you don't have to do that.
You're not a dog.
You're a human being.
They just do that because they want to flex their authority and their power, you know?
And they want to feel like they got this control over the people.
So screw that.
No, my back hurts.
Your back hurts or your back hurts?
My back.
I have a bad back.
Okay.
Maybe I didn't say it right.
But yeah.
But you can sit down if you want.
You can sit down, have a seat.
All of you.
Or maybe because you're sitting down all day long, huh?
So we got over there.
One, two, three, four, five.
Wow, the entire battalion came here.
This is hilarious.
And you're the sergeant.
You're shining today.
You're very shining.
And you are shining today.
Yes, sir.
All right.
By the way, badge number?
I don't have a badge number, but actually my badge number is 2087.
How do you say your last name?
Ziegler.
Okay, very cool.
So we're being detained here under lice.
And he's buying everything that people say.
Wow.
Do not, do not answer anything.
Do not, do not, do not, do not answer anything.
Huh?
Do not answer anything.
I don't answer questions.
You know that.
Remember, don't forget the fifth amendment of the constitution that you swore to uphold.
There's no, there's no, there's no, there's no crime.
California is not a stop and ID crime.
I mean, state.
Now, I'm not going to lie, ladies and gentlemen,
the cameraman doesn't have to help these cops with their investigation at all.
You're going to see how this sergeant tries to get the cameraman to tell his side of the story.
I mean, it's all up to you when you're dealing with these cops.
If you want to tell your side, that's fine.
Go right ahead.
But for the most part, you don't have to.
It's not a stop and ID immediately.
Hear, say, hear, say.
That's it.
Hey, is that your friend?
I saw the fist bump.
I'm just being a nice guy.
Oh yeah.
Oh yes.
She's very, very nice.
No, you mentioned you had a back problem.
Yes.
We don't want to make sure your back is hurt.
So you are being a team, but you're standing back.
Well, if I sit down, it's going to ache.
It's going to ache, but I didn't ask.
You didn't know that I have a backpack.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
If I sit down.
I know.
Oh, I see.
I see your game.
I got your game now.
But you are being a team.
I got your game.
The other officer is done conducting their investigation.
Oh, my goodness gracious.
You guys are hilarious today.
What's the number?
29229.
Number.
I mean, name.
Officer Henao.
Our names are our uniform.
So in case you need that.
Yeah, but people have to say it themselves at the request.
We're not obligated.
Well, I thought you were polite people here.
I guess not.
In case you need it.
It's on our uniform.
Oh, in case you need it.
I love the tone of your voice.
I appreciate that.
I really work hard on that.
Make sure that everything is lowered, the temperature.
I know that you said you had a backpack.
So we're not here to make any major issues.
But the officer that you were speaking to, she is investigating.
She was really convinced.
Whatever she said, whatever she heard, that's exactly what happened.
Crazy.
Are you willing to share your side of the story?
I'm sorry.
Are you willing to share your side of the story?
If it's going to get twisted?
No, you're recording.
Yeah, I am recording.
For your camera, can you share your side of the story?
I am recording.
I'm sorry.
You don't want to?
You want to look at the bicyclist?
Yes, I do.
I'm checking the bicyclist.
And so one and two and three and four for illegal activity.
Unbelievable.
Wow.
Crazy ass.
Now, how many years in the force?
No.
Brand new?
Sure.
So you got hired yesterday?
Sure.
Today?
Sure.
You're not here to serve the people, are you?
That's what I'm doing right now, right?
I got a proper service.
I'm serving the people.
Who are you serving?
Where's the person that called you?
That's what we're investigating.
That's what we're investigating because we don't know that, right?
I mean, you didn't let her do her job.
I didn't let her do her job.
I mean, you didn't let her do her job.
We're investigating because we don't know that, right?
You don't have one.
I mean, you didn't let her do her job.
Did I stop her?
Well, that's why we're here.
Now she's doing her job.
But did I stop the woman?
You were not even here when I was here and she was here.
She's doing her job now.
I know, but you physically, you were not here.
So you said that I stopped her.
Oh, she couldn't go.
So, uh?
She couldn't go inside to conduct her procedure.
Why couldn't she?
She was free to go.
Was I stopping the other woman?
Police.
Say that again?
Was I stopping the other woman from going in?
What was stopping her?
Your partner.
Was I stopping her from going in?
No, but there's...
There we go.
She said no.
Officer safety.
There's two of you.
There's one of her.
Officer safety.
What about the citizen safety?
That's just how we do here.
That's our policy.
What about my policies and my safety?
Who cares?
Do you feel threatened right now?
Yes.
No, no, no, no.
I think that question should be asked to you, officer.
Do you feel threatened over a couple of men recording?
So much for that officer safety crap, right?
Look at this attitude that this cop actually has towards this cameraman.
He's like...
He doesn't even care what the cameraman has to say or anything.
I think he's being unprofessional and trying to be a little smartass, if you ask me.
There was a woman.
There was a policewoman that didn't want me to leave, right?
And you're saying I'm detained.
You are.
So, yeah.
You are detained.
So, yeah.
This is my safety.
We're going to try to do our best to make you feel as safe as possible.
People out there don't care for safety for cops.
You're right.
It's only you guys that care for that.
Which is why there's so many of us here, because we care for our partners.
Wow.
Okay.
So, you got five units and more coming, maybe.
For two cameras.
Officer safety.
All right.
What about citizen safety?
Just so you know, we'll detain the team.
The other guy?
Okay.
Just stand by.
It's all right.
I'll be there.
What's happened?
So, there goes the sergeant telling his officer a 10-15 to the other guy.
Which means 10-15 is taking someone into custody.
The other guy is silence boy.
Which is exactly what's going to happen here in a minute.
Check this out.
What's the latest?
What's the latest right now?
What's the situation like?
The latest is, do you want to share your side of the story?
You said we're here just on one side.
I want to get the entire picture.
I want to hear what they're going to say.
Is that how you?
It's not based on what they have to say.
I'm sorry?
It's based on what you have to say.
You're filming right now, so.
I'm recording.
What are you doing here?
I'm recording right now.
Is that you not wanting to say or?
Okay.
You're quiet.
I'm quiet.
Yeah.
So, whenever I ask you questions, you need to feel quiet.
Let's see.
I think I asked you already.
Do you have a name?
No.
Do you have a name?
No, I don't tell you that.
Why do you need a name?
Are you just so we can know who we're talking to?
No, you don't have to.
I don't have to know your first name.
Rick?
Yeah.
Okay, that's reasonable.
All right, Rick.
Officer Ford, she just did an investigation.
She's going to come out.
She's going to talk to you.
And I don't know what your name.
I'll call you Cameraman.
Is that okay?
I'm not sure.
That does make sense.
Cameraman 2.
Cameraman 2 and Rick.
Both of you guys were here at the post office.
Officer Ford did an investigation.
She just really wanted to get your side of the story.
Do you want to provide your statement?
Depends what her conclusion is.
Depends what the other people said.
You're just depending on what other people.
Because in my opinion, there's no reason to this statement.
There's some aggressive people.
Yeah, they left the scene because I was filming that time.
Were you harmed at all?
No, they approached me.
I don't know what their intentions are too.
That's all.
You don't know?
No.
Okay.
Is there cameras inside?
Like you're reporting, I'm reporting.
I just want to know.
What did the cameras show?
All right, so you're going to be under arrest
for using pepper spray.
One last chance.
Do you have an ID for us?
But where's the crime?
Have I committed any crime?
Have you committed a crime?
No.
Okay, so why?
What's the need?
I know who you are.
It's not.
It's not me from someone who did commit a crime.
Well, on his choice.
I gave it back.
I gave it back to him.
He gave it back to me.
Thank you, cameraman.
So this is where this video actually ends at.
And it looks like Silence Boy gets arrested for using his pepper spray.
I didn't see that in this video.
This video does not show him pepper spraying anybody.
I actually went to his channel to see if I can see the interaction of him
pepper spraying to see if I find that.
But I didn't find anything yet.
I don't know if he hasn't posted that or he will.
But I do know that these cops acted like a bunch of fools in my opinion.
If you agree, let me know what you think about this video.
These cops could have done a better job.
Immediately when they approached the situation,
they were already trying to intimidate and already looking at the cameraman
like they were criminals, like there were suspects or something.
So let me know what you think.
Thanks for tuning in to the end of this video, guys.
Again, I'll drop their links in the description below.
Don't forget to drop your comment.
We'll definitely see you on the next one.
Rest in peace.
J Surreal.
