Real irony is the claim to be undercover and they exposed themselves because a man with a camera meandered passed. They could have stayed in their nearly blacked out SUVs and would have saved them exposure and any embarrassment but no, their god complex strikes again. To be honest I doubt they are working UC, unmarked and UC are in many locations two very different classes of police work. UC usually won’t even dress in the police gear, maybe a vest but mostly try to look civilian in case they have to separate from their vehicle and follow on foot but a UC vehicle may not even have lights on them, looking at 3/4 of the cars there there’s cherries and berries. So def in my opinion an unmarked unit of police working something. Also in what world would a UC work with 4-6 unmarked cars gathered on a private side road? That’s sus at best.
Undercover officers should never have to identify themselves as police officers but once they start ACTING as a police officer they are no longer undercover. very simple.
Im a civilian..but i dont agree with the person who is recording..its just a small infraction by the officers to begin with..he purposely challenged the officers by recording everything thus begin this whole shit-show thereby impeding the investigation (from my perspective)..i hate these kind of people who think they are smart but on reality are just a bunch of man-child craving for public affection..boo-hoo...
@@aztechnotronic IF he had ACTUALLY been "impeding their investigation I would agree with you but they were the ones that impeded him so you're wrong on this. And appearing in public AS A POLICE OFFICER nullified ANY claim to "undercover" status.
As far as I can tell only the title of the video claims that anyone is undercover. It also states that they didn't know they were being recorded. This is a great channel that shouldn't have to stoop to click bait titles.
In a sane world: "Hey what's up?" "Just filming." "Ok cool. Just don't be in the middle of the road, come on up on the side so you're safe." "Oh yea. No problem." The end.

In a same world, a person who says he getting harassed by the sheriff department, you wouldn't keep going out of your way to harass them. That's just asking to get arrested.
This is the problem with police in this country. I’m not against the police and overall they provide an essential service in our society but the way they are trained is a major failure. How is it that a person that is supposed to uphold the law doesn’t even know or respect those laws? People are arrested every day for trying to assert rights that are clearly granted to them by our constitution and that’s not ok. They operate under this idea that they’ll just arrest you and let the court settle it out. ANY amount of time you spend being detained or arrested is a violation of your rights and an abuse. We don’t need defunding of police we need a re-education of police.
House owner: "Officer what about this dead body inside my house?" Officer: "Hold on, this guy with camera just walked down the street, looked at me funny, I need all available units"
The number 1 most infuriating thing I hate about the average police officer in this country is the condescending way they speak to citizens. Whether they’re right or wrong. Whether said citizen they are investigating is being polite or not, they always feel the need to assert their authority while speaking down to everyone as if we were children. I’ve experienced it myself firsthand. All while I was being nothing but extremely polite and respectful to them in return. I almost wish I was able to hold a mirror up to them so they could get a taste of how demeaning it feels to basically get called stupid to your own face all while doing nothing at all to provoke it
I’ve experienced the same thing! I called for help and was very polite when they showed up. They immediately treated me like I was some scumbag criminal. I was VERY confused as to why they acted that way. Then they twisted everything I said to incriminate me when IM the one who called them for help…..no wonder nobody trusts the police. I legit thought they were there to help. They aren’t. :(((( they’re assholes.
So let me get this straight. Plainclothes cops don't have to provide their name and badge number because this would "blow their cover." But these Pinellas County plainclothes cops made a point of walking up to the guy with the camera and harassing him, giving us a close-up view of their faces. And now their faces have been broadcasted over the worldwide internet, so everyone in the world can see what they look like. I'd say they've blown their cover.
His comment about "oh you're the expert, I've only been doing this job for 20 years" was ridiculous as well. He's not a lawyer. The man isn't a lawyer. They're both on even ground in terms of legal expertise.
Is an officer "undercover" once they start barking orders and demanding to be obeyed as an officer? If they refuse to identify, aren't they then pretending to be impersonating an officer?
@@Hear-MeoutTwo2 Right?? Plus they’re not undercover if driving police vehicles in obvious gear and identifying clothing. Unmarked and undercover are polar opposite. But heaven forbid people look at this objectively.
Clearly they didn’t approach this man because he broke a “pedestrian law”. They approached him because he was recording and they didn’t like it. And when he didn’t leave, they all came out to intimidate. They aren’t fooling anyone. FTP.
It's hilarious they stood there for that long during their super important investigation to argue with this guy about what side of the street he should walk on.
So basically it boiled down to: "You're interupting an investigation." "No, I'm not. You walked out here to me on your own Accord." "That's true, so here's a ticket for walking in the street cuz you made me look stupid."
The problem is he drove by had no reason to be there deliberately got out of his car walked past them with the intent on getting stopped to make content for his youtube Video.. and get interaction for possible lawsuit as he stated he has to many already…
@@kodakbrown4461 Yes they can, the Supreme Court has ruled that they can several times. That corrupt institution has even recently ruled that they don't even have to mirandize suspects anymore. They can present you with false evidence in order to extract a confession, they can use it to threaten you, they can lie to you about whether something you allegedly did is illegal or not and what the degree of punishment is, etc. But that's the worse part, they are completely legally insulated from their bad behavior.

It’s amazing how easily distracted police officers get from a guy simply holding a camera. It’s also amazing how none of them can seem to multi-task when they are at a scene.
I understand your point and agree with it but its scientifically wrong "amazing how none of them can seem to multi-task" its not amazing, its literally how humans work, no human being in existence can multitask to the literal meaning of the word

The genius undercover cop came out and blew his cover, on camera, just to tell the man he wasn't allowed to stand in the street. Now that's something special.
They are american sheriff deupites, basically a hired gun, not real police officers. It stems back to the lawless Wild West, and the United States never stopped using that outdated system.
Seems like they are mixing plain clothes and under cover, though they have used "under cover" as an excuse not to identify the cops. Also the whole "Didn't know they were being recorded seems a bit suss, since the first thing he said was "I'm recording..."
I mean he only asked the one in plain clothes not wearing a Sheriff vest for his name and badge number. So if he is in plain clothes and not wearing it for a reason then it's not implausible for him to be one of the undercover. He never asked the others wearing the Sheriff vests for their names and badge numbers.
@@maninblack1354 And I think what he was commenting was an indictment of the state of police training - his point being that if you wanted to train officers correctly and carefully, you would get shut down because the other police are so crap at their jobs that they would feel threatened, or something similar.
In my world we would have robot cops like I robot style. They would treat everyone the same. You could scream your frustration right in the robots face after a ticket and all the robot says is thank you sir. Even make them with a rubber bobble head we are allowed to slap to release frustration.
Once the undercover deputy has verbally identified themselves as a Sheriff's Deputy, who is acting in their official capacity, with a specific agency, they are no longer considered to be undercover and should be required to identify themselves, just as any uniformed deputy would be.
@@ashir555 It actually is that simple, and most (but, not all) departments I have had dealings with require it, by their policy (but, not by law). Once you put on a big ol' vest that identifies you, to the world, as a Deputy or Police Officer and you start performing the duties of a Deputy or Police Officer (acting in an official capacity), you lose the anonymity that comes with being undercover (being unidentifiable as a Law Enforcer) and should be required to provide the public with your identifying information, upon request, for accountability purposes.
They all had clothing or self identified as law enforcement. So with that, they wouldn’t be covered under that statute and should have their identities disclosed. Definitely an issue I’d press
As a side note When Mclynas ran for Sheriff he went around the county and pressure washed the sidewalks using a stencil to basically put campaign ads all over the place at almost no cost. brilliant!
It's wild how quickly they drop everything to get in the face of a person filming. That they pretend it was because he was walking in the street is made obvious nonsense when they completely ignore the woman walking through the exact part of the street that the filmer was.
There is only one plain clothes officer there (not really giving orders or handling the case), and a few unmarked cars. Undercover is just a wrong term to use but it makes it easy for many to understand what you're talking about.
They are not in uniform but the moment they might perform active police duties they need an identifying mark for them not to be mis identified as one of the suspects...or they might get fired upon by fellow officers responding but not part of the undercover cop group...
There egos play a role. Mainly they are upset he is filming them. So any nit picky law they went to enforce. Try to retaliate and bully him out of the area.
Lets see if he's going to dare do that to him when he becomes sheriff, and be his boss. HAHAHA! He probably want to resign. The only problem with him becoming sheriff is that he made change, and become just like them, but hopefully he won't.
I'm telling y'all now that this happens everyday in Pinellas AND Pasco county. They absolutely cannot handle being questioned and answering to the public.
I smell a epidemic of NARCISSISM in that department. A habit of being condescending to the public … The rules dont apply to them…. They dont want to be held accountable….They get mad when they are held accountable or bad behavior is exposed and make up ridiculous excuses….They manipulate the scenario to try to dominate when it isnt necessary, but it feeds their ego…Unlike normal people, They actually LIKE negative attention bcz they know they have your undivided attention. Each interaction is new “source”. 😢 The Bully NPD Gang. What do you want to bet they laugh about harassing people behind closed doors?? Does this sound professional and a positive roll model for the people that pay their salary… the citizens they are lowly SERVANTS to? 👁️👁️
I watched several of his videos and the entire Sherriffs department was terrible and completely against his campaign. I really wanted him to win and clean this department up.
as for the undercover guy that says you cant walk in the middle of the road and tries to explain you need to not be in the middle and that its a civil infraction?
But if the officer doesn't identify himself, then how are we to know that he is really an officer? If he can't I.D. himself and we don't know that he is an officer, then he has no authority to be giving demands. Because if some random guy comes asking for my I.D. I'm gonna tell him exactly what he can do with that request
If they are giving you orders, they will be identifying themselves in a scenario. Seems like an extremely unlikely scenario where an undercover officer would lie about being an officer yet try to detain you. The officers in an undercover activity may need to maintain their safety by not revealing they are an officer, goes in line with the reasoning why they would be undercover.
@@JAKE8E8S exactly. The undercover in the video wouldn't identify himself, but he was giving orders to the camera person. Or actually he gave orders first then when asked to identify, he wouldn't. So as far as dude knows, that was just some random guy barking orders.
The fact that there are multiple uniformed officers right next to the guy, who are probably willing to identify themselves isn't enough? I mean, the undercover cop isn't giving any orders, he was literally just talking. He was saying something anyone could know and say. The one giving orders is uniformed
second any lawsuit that results from an officer's conduct should come straight out of the salary and benefit's of that officer or his entire department. There needs to be a better incentive for cops to not break the law.
I think I heard something passed about a week ago. I don't know which state. They'll find some loop hole to turn this around on the people. They always do.
I’ve lived in both Pinellas & Pasco counties in the past - lived there for over 20 years and also born in Clearwater- this is a perfect example of how they treat literally EVERYBODY on a daily basis- absolutely disgusting and condescending
@@matthewhankins1577 Stop spreading misinformation. Even in stop and ID states, you can not force people to identify unless they are suspected of a crime.
@@AN-sm9ju walking in the middle of the road in most of stop and ID states is literally a crime. So no I didn't spread misinformation. Do some research before making another dumbass reply bro
Call me a cynic, but I get the impression that even if the pedestrian were walking on the opposite side of the roadway, that the sheriffs in this video would still have stopped and harassed him for recording them.
Yeah if he was walking in the middle of the road with no camera im sure they would have never batted an eye. Its because they knew he was specifically filming them.
They would have harassed him for "impeding the flow of traffic" or some other nonsense. All of them have probably committed crimes that would get regular citizens locked up for years, and the unearned power and privilege have gone to their heads.
@@libralillyknits If so, it still makes their handling of the situation highly unprofessional - and stating that you're an undercover cop completely invalidate the whole idea of LEO working undercover. He isn't undercover, he's a plain clothes LEO and of course he should provide his badge number in this situation....
I noticed that the statute cited for the infraction was in regard to a Highway. In my state, a distinction is made between highways and residential roadways. This looks much more like a residential roadway than a highway; if Florida makes a similar distinction, then it's possible that there was no infraction at all!
Oh wow, that would be another example of that point not having been examined in enough detail by AtA, actually quite an omission. It is striking how the other points say roadway but that particular one says highway. What also occupied my mind was the question about changing direction. I guess in that case, if the article applied, he would have to cross the road and continue there. But if it is really a highway that is concerned, that would be quite dangerous.
No differentiation under FL Statutes. Highway means any street etc... Roadway is the actual portion used for vehicular traffic. For ex. two lanes divided by a center median. The roadway would be the paved lanes on either side, highway would include the median, shoulders etc...
@@RyanRamboer-sv3pm NOT TRUE> Under Fl Statutes all streets are highways. The only differentiation is the roadway is the paved area where traffic uses and the highway portion includes shoulders, medians etc...
Every time! When they realize they're the ones wasting their own time, they get all huffy and end up just walking away. They just love being bullies and get all butthurt when it doesn't work. Love it!!
Dude, when a plain clothes detective for example is working a crime scene not everyone knows him or her and the vest is to distinguish themselves as a LEO.
@@HighSpeedNoDrag thats a detective tho, not a undercover cop. a undercover cop would have nothing because they want to organize deals and be anonymous, they have to be anonymous so the criminals don't think they are a cop. and it doesn't matter if they don't id themselves, criminals can spot or get rumors about him and that cop is done for. there is a such thing as street smarts.

@@TheMityquin no no no no, it’s absolutely not. There’s some great departments out there. I’d personally invite you to Buckley, Washington to see how that department operates but I’m not involved with them in any way.

All of my interaction with Tacoma PD has been great too, that’s a big department though and I’m sure they have their bad eggs.
"I'm an undercover police officer, I'm in the middle of a serious investigation and can't identify as it will risk exposing me, a real life or death scenario. BUT....maybe I'll stand around to harass someone walking by over pedestrian infractions so I can get recorded and get my face up on youtube" Seriously, how do any of these clowns and their superiors keep their jobs.
I don't understand how the officers can be considered "undercover" when at least two of them have the word "Sheriff" emblazoned across their chest. They might be part of an undercover task force, but their current actions are NOT undercover.
This man is exactly who I would want as my sheriff. Someone who actually wants to create a better policing environment rather than just empty promises and the status quo
"Well you have to ID". When the cop said that without missing a beat, that just shows how effortlessly he's told that lie many times. They can't claim ignorance, that kind of thing is taught to you in the academy.
@@JoeGrunt9 absolutely, but it should be a personal choice if it's not required by law. Cops are people like you and me, and strangers to most people they come into contact with. If any other stranger comes up to you and starts telling you what to do, you'd most likely tell them to piss off. It's the same with cops when they're only telling you to do things that aren't legally required.
If they had just let keep walking their investigation would not have been impeded. So they deciding to harass him, they impeded their own investigation.
@@buzzfeedyeiiow3846 It's a little hard to track the position in 3d space of the guy behind the phone without paying attention to it, as what you are being shown is what's going on only ahead. But you can do it if you try, the guy with the phone had the other side of the road to walk unimpeded but he chose to go on the middle on the street and then walk up to them and get in between their cars. He was NOT a simple pedestrian passing by, the woman was.
Hats off to these people for sticking their necks out like that . I’ve found that nearly every interaction I’ve had with LEOs end up costing me money . I avoid them as much as possible
Let's be honest the only reason they care is because he is recording them. I think the liberty interest of recording this interaction far out weigh him being in the road.
I live in a gated community in Florida. The number of people who leisurely walk in the road, without being accosted by cops, makes this whole video a joke. Makes you wonder what they were ACTUALLY doing, instead of "investigating".
@@RLTtizME I'm referring to the "earning the hate" comment. My point being - they do way worse than this, and no, it's not part of the job to earn hate.
The instant the citizen asks "am I being detained" he has just opened himself up to future harassment. In my opinion, this video would be much better had the citizen simply replied with one "no" when I asked for ID and then, just continued, silently, doing what he wanted to do. Saying anything to those tyrant cops gives them an edge.
there is some intention of those auditors to escalate to some level. But... escalation to an officer can be looking at them, while they are not at all escalating when up in your face.
These cops can't handle a guy peacefully filming from the street. How can they be trusted to handle a real emergency situation. They escalated a simple situation.
Escalating gives them the opportunity to go hands on and arrest. They love the endorphin rush. If it turn out to be unwarranted and generates a lawsuit then whatever, doesn't cost them anything. Taxpayers pay again. They screw us directly and indirectly, then laugh about it back in the office.
I live in Pinellas county... this is nothing new. Got pulled over by a cop for having a headlight out at 2pm (that I didn't even know was out (I know no excuse but didn't deserve the following to happen)) and because I said "hey dude" (I say that to everyone) when he walked up he lost his mind, started pacing and yelling/threatening me say dude one more time etc. When I went to pull out my phone to record his tirade he threatened to pull me out of the car and arrest me stating that recording an officer is a felony. I filed a report on him and his supervisor showed up at my door early in the am the next day asking me to explain to him why I filed the report. He said there have been multiple complaints about this officer but a year later I still saw him out there harassing people. In fact, he was screaming at some old lady he pulled over who went through a blinking crosswalk after the person who was using it was already a good 15 yards past it altogether. Same thing pacing, screaming making a scene... Thinking I should have just pulled out the phone and hit record no matter the consequences... People like these cops in the video and the one that I spoke of need to be held accountable. I know it's not illegal to record here his supervisor said so but at the time I didn't know for sure... Florida has some weird laws and doesn't always follow federal guidelines.
@@JohnDoe-mp1zk Tell that to Florida Reps... Our own governor said he will sue/fine any teacher that brings up gays or CRT. He said he doesn't care what the feds say this is how it is in 'his state' and nothings been done to challenge him by the US gov.
That guy is such a fine example of his department. If he calls people names like that while on camera, what the hell does he do when he is not on camera?!?!?
Exactly!!! That tells me he's probably a danger to the public,and should never be given authority over anyone,should not have a badge or gun. And should never work in law enforcement 😡. My Grandmother God rest her beautiful soul,was a police officer. She's probably rolling over in her grave when she sees this type of behavior and unprofessionalism .

Argumentative and petty. Just the kind of person you want to be running your sheriff office. It would have been far more appropriate to move to the other side of the road and done his filming there. If he'll argue that he has the right to disobey rules as a private citizen then what stops him from doing the same as law enforcement.
@@dchiffy im just saying theres more to the job than that, you're in charge of how the department runs, so you're kinda expected to know the law well which typically means you have experience as an officer, you should also know what to prioritize in funding and if you haven't been an officer its a bit of a difficult decision
It hurts their poor little feelings to be asked to identify themselves, but they expect everybody to identify to them even when the law doesn't require it.
He did several complaints, the sheriff ignore him, so he ran for sheriff, lost but dam if he was a sheriff the county sheriff office would run way different
Stay away from here you won't regret it words of advice this country has become the worst of the worst... Even if you fart here someone will call the cops then get your ass whipped..

The most disturbing part for me wasn't the arguing and chest puffing that took place on the scene, but more that after the smoked cleared and one would hope cooler heads would prevail, the citizens requests were denied without explanation. This isn't a department which servers it's citizens (i.e. it's employer), it's an organization that serves itself.

*ARREST THAT MAN FOR FICTITIOUS MERRY MAKING*
The number 1 most infuriating thing I hate about the average police officer in this country is the condescending way they speak to citizens. Whether they’re right or wrong. Whether said citizen they are investigating is being polite or not, they always feel the need to assert their authority while speaking down to everyone as if we were children. I’ve experienced it myself firsthand. All while I was being nothing but extremely polite and respectful to them in return. I almost wish I was able to hold a mirror up to them so they could get a taste of how demeaning it feels to basically get called stupid to your own face all while doing nothing at all to provoke it
Yes, and they take that kind of attitude home. That's why it eventually turns too domestic violence on their part.
The job attracts morons and psychopaths for a reason.
I’ve experienced the same thing! I called for help and was very polite when they showed up. They immediately treated me like I was some scumbag criminal. I was VERY confused as to why they acted that way. Then they twisted everything I said to incriminate me when IM the one who called them for help…..no wonder nobody trusts the police. I legit thought they were there to help. They aren’t. :(((( they’re assholes.
They are the ‘clean up’ crew it is law they don’t have to help you that’s why the cop car don’t say, to protect and serve. Now it says in god we trust
@@damlynch9295 Even worse....
I lost it when that lady walked by and he said "Is she impeding the investigation too?" ROFL
Cards are stacked on the side of these clown cops. So much so that even a plain-clothes cop doesn't have to identify. GTFO.
So the best way to impersonate a cop is to act like a jerk when someone wants your department ID as proof.
So let me get this straight. Plainclothes cops don't have to provide their name and badge number because this would "blow their cover." But these Pinellas County plainclothes cops made a point of walking up to the guy with the camera and harassing him, giving us a close-up view of their faces. And now their faces have been broadcasted over the worldwide internet, so everyone in the world can see what they look like. I'd say they've blown their cover.
Surely once an officer dons any piece of official clothing that clearly identifies him as an officer, he's no longer "under cover"?!!

@@yessum15 Yep, and they appear to be making a damn fine job of doing that here!

The repeated use of it, should have registered a complaint. Dude is high on himself.
When you act above everyone for years you essentially are.

They are american sheriff deupites, basically a hired gun, not real police officers.

I think his point was that they're unmarked police cars.
Seems like they are mixing plain clothes and under cover, though they have used "under cover" as an excuse not to identify the cops.
Also the whole "Didn't know they were being recorded seems a bit suss, since the first thing he said was "I'm recording..."
I mean he only asked the one in plain clothes not wearing a Sheriff vest for his name and badge number. So if he is in plain clothes and not wearing it for a reason then it's not implausible for him to be one of the undercover. He never asked the others wearing the Sheriff vests for their names and badge numbers.

Once the undercover deputy has verbally identified themselves as a Sheriff's Deputy, who is acting in their official capacity, with a specific agency, they are no longer considered to be undercover and should be required to identify themselves, just as any uniformed deputy would be.

Once you put on a big ol' vest that identifies you, to the world, as a Deputy or Police Officer and you start performing the duties of a Deputy or Police Officer (acting in an official capacity), you lose the anonymity that comes with being undercover (being unidentifiable as a Law Enforcer) and should be required to provide the public with your identifying information, upon request, for accountability purposes.

Based on the fact that they're wearing a police uniform, I'd say the classification of "undercover" is pretty blown there.

Undercover is constantly misused. It's unmarked. They're unmarked police vehicles.
There is only one plain clothes officer there (not really giving orders or handling the case), and a few unmarked cars. Undercover is just a wrong term to use but it makes it easy for many to understand what you're talking about.

@Weske one? Several multiples. At least you read the comments. So many videos with the same thing repeated ad nauseum.
I noticed that the statute cited for the infraction was in regard to a Highway. In my state, a distinction is made between highways and residential roadways. This looks much more like a residential roadway than a highway; if Florida makes a similar distinction, then it's possible that there was no infraction at all!
I was thinking the same thing! What if a kid is riding his bike on the street? Is he’s breaking the law?! What about peaceful protesters?
I counted about 4 or 5 citations for vehicle blocking the roadway facing the wrong way of travel and all of them Sheriff vehicles
Oh wow, that would be another example of that point not having been examined in enough detail by AtA, actually quite an omission. It is striking how the other points say roadway but that particular one says highway.
What also occupied my mind was the question about changing direction. I guess in that case, if the article applied, he would have to cross the road and continue there. But if it is really a highway that is concerned, that would be quite dangerous.
No differentiation under FL Statutes. Highway means any street etc... Roadway is the actual portion used for vehicular traffic. For ex. two lanes divided by a center median. The roadway would be the paved lanes on either side, highway would include the median, shoulders etc...

"Well you have to ID". When the cop said that without missing a beat, that just shows how effortlessly he's told that lie many times. They can't claim ignorance, that kind of thing is taught to you in the academy.
if your not doing anything wrong, there shouldnt be any issue with showing id..
@@JoeGrunt9 except that you have the right to not show it.
@@JoeGrunt9 absolutely, but it should be a personal choice if it's not required by law. Cops are people like you and me, and strangers to most people they come into contact with. If any other stranger comes up to you and starts telling you what to do, you'd most likely tell them to piss off. It's the same with cops when they're only telling you to do things that aren't legally required.
@@Hawkfania you shouldnt have any rights

I honestly don't know why more auditors don't simply answer "I'm here documenting police corruption."

@@blasian6611 I honestly just found it deeply confusing!
If they had just let keep walking their investigation would not have been impeded. So they deciding to harass him, they impeded their own investigation.
The guy with the phone walked up to them and stayed, he had no intention of moving on without getting a reaction from them.
@@Leongon nope
@@Leongon idk but he did have an antagonistic attitude
@@buzzfeedyeiiow3846 It's a little hard to track the position in 3d space of the guy behind the phone without paying attention to it, as what you are being shown is what's going on only ahead. But you can do it if you try, the guy with the phone had the other side of the road to walk unimpeded but he chose to go on the middle on the street and then walk up to them and get in between their cars. He was NOT a simple pedestrian passing by, the woman was.
Hats off to these people for sticking their necks out like that . I’ve found that nearly every interaction I’ve had with LEOs end up costing me money . I avoid them as much as possible
Let's be honest the only reason they care is because he is recording them.
I think the liberty interest of recording this interaction far out weigh him being in the road.
They were paranoid of being recorded because they were doing something unlawful
"Is she impeding the investigation too??" I almost broke my neck rollin' off the couch when he said that...this guy's my hero, haha 😂.
Lmao
This is why I don't trust cops. Sad!
I’ll never take a handicapped permit at face value again!
I'd trust a thief before a cop. At least I know for sure where the thief stands.

I live in a gated community in Florida. The number of people who leisurely walk in the road, without being accosted by cops, makes this whole video a joke. Makes you wonder what they were ACTUALLY doing, instead of "investigating".
How the hell are they "undercover" when they're in their uniforms and basically dressed like military commandos!?
One of the cops had a tactical knife on his rig. 😆
Hard to find a better example of law enforcement “earning the hate”. Ridiculous!

@@petertoft70 Part of the job... isn't it. Sometimes they have to.......Little Peter.
@@RLTtizME I'm referring to the "earning the hate" comment. My point being - they do way worse than this, and no, it's not part of the job to earn hate.
I never realized how true to life the TV show Reno 911 was until I watched several Audit the Audit videos....
They definitely don't get the highest IQ individuals or those with discernment.
Maybe cops are watching that stuff way more than training videos.
@@JoeMac1983 Intelligence isn't the one thing in common between people who seek out law enforcement jobs. Want of power over people is.
@@jfast8256 Just like politicians. Professions with lots of sociopaths.
The case in New York is real,the guy was denied a job with the police,all because he scored too high on the entrance test.
The instant the citizen asks "am I being detained" he has just opened himself up to future harassment.
In my opinion, this video would be much better had the citizen simply replied with one "no" when I asked for ID and then, just continued, silently, doing what he wanted to do.
Saying anything to those tyrant cops gives them an edge.
there is some intention of those auditors to escalate to some level. But... escalation to an officer can be looking at them, while they are not at all escalating when up in your face.
Camera: *is running near cops*
Cops: *tries to misuse every imaginable law to try and stop the recording*
And laws they literally just imagine.
They didn't know they were being recorded... says it in the title of the video.
When you wear a vest that says "Sheriff", and you wear that vest in public, you're no longer under cover. ijs
These cops can't handle a guy peacefully filming from the street. How can they be trusted to handle a real emergency situation. They escalated a simple situation.
You can trust them to mess it up.
Escalating gives them the opportunity to go hands on and arrest. They love the endorphin rush.
If it turn out to be unwarranted and generates a lawsuit then whatever, doesn't cost them anything. Taxpayers pay again.
They screw us directly and indirectly,
then laugh about it back in the office.
Everyone knows the cops that don't like to be filmed are the ones that have something to hide.
I like how those clowns try to surround him. It's like being surrounded by the power rangers.
"You can't walk in the middle of the road"
"You blocked the side"
"Streets not blocked"
"Correct, I was walking down the street till you stopped me"
I live in Pinellas county... this is nothing new. Got pulled over by a cop for having a headlight out at 2pm (that I didn't even know was out (I know no excuse but didn't deserve the following to happen)) and because I said "hey dude" (I say that to everyone) when he walked up he lost his mind, started pacing and yelling/threatening me say dude one more time etc. When I went to pull out my phone to record his tirade he threatened to pull me out of the car and arrest me stating that recording an officer is a felony. I filed a report on him and his supervisor showed up at my door early in the am the next day asking me to explain to him why I filed the report. He said there have been multiple complaints about this officer but a year later I still saw him out there harassing people. In fact, he was screaming at some old lady he pulled over who went through a blinking crosswalk after the person who was using it was already a good 15 yards past it altogether. Same thing pacing, screaming making a scene...
Thinking I should have just pulled out the phone and hit record no matter the consequences... People like these cops in the video and the one that I spoke of need to be held accountable. I know it's not illegal to record here his supervisor said so but at the time I didn't know for sure... Florida has some weird laws and doesn't always follow federal guidelines.
federal law is not a guide line; it applys to all!
@@JohnDoe-mp1zk Tell that to Florida Reps... Our own governor said he will sue/fine any teacher that brings up gays or CRT. He said he doesn't care what the feds say this is how it is in 'his state' and nothings been done to challenge him by the US gov.
That guy is such a fine example of his department. If he calls people names like that while on camera, what the hell does he do when he is not on camera?!?!?
Exactly!!! That tells me he's probably a danger to the public,and should never be given authority over anyone,should not have a badge or gun. And should never work in law enforcement 😡. My Grandmother God rest her beautiful soul,was a police officer. She's probably rolling over in her grave when she sees this type of behavior and unprofessionalism .
1000000% spot on, he calls the citizen 'Perry Mason' what a POS cop, as usual.
You can tell he treats his family this way too.
When the cop who keep calling him Perry Mason asked him a question he should have responded by calling him Columbo
Mr mclines ran to be the sheriff. Too bad he didn’t win. He’s spot on. He has many good vids
Hopefully he can garner the support to win, and clean up that department.
Haven't checked out his videos, but just because hes not super corrupt and has good intentions doesn't mean he would be a good sheriff, i mean if you don't know wtf you're doing that causes all kinds of other issues
@@kiyosenl.3889 he ran a clean campaign that was against policing for money, decriminalizing weed and for public service. Crazy how he didn’t win. Also he used street cleaning as his advertising. I hope he runs again
Argumentative and petty. Just the kind of person you want to be running your sheriff office. It would have been far more appropriate to move to the other side of the road and done his filming there. If he'll argue that he has the right to disobey rules as a private citizen then what stops him from doing the same as law enforcement.
@@dchiffy im just saying theres more to the job than that, you're in charge of how the department runs, so you're kinda expected to know the law well which typically means you have experience as an officer, you should also know what to prioritize in funding and if you haven't been an officer its a bit of a difficult decision
It hurts their poor little feelings to be asked to identify themselves, but they expect everybody to identify to them even when the law doesn't require it.

Question: how can the sheriffs be considered "under cover" while they are wearing identifying bullet proof vests?
Exactly… not to mention the flashing lights.

he still an undercover cop, because if someone from the gang recognizes him while driving by or watching this video... theres gonna be problems and he could go from undercover to "underground" soon...
im no captain on americas police business, so just my 2 cents...
"a guy passes by", "AHA!!!! Here is my change to flex my AUTHORITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"!
Cops think they’re so professional 😂 but in reality we clown them & disrespect them every chance we get lol.
You lack respect and expect it back funny that
The most disturbing part for me wasn't the arguing and chest puffing that took place on the scene, but more that after the smoked cleared and one would hope cooler heads would prevail, the citizens requests were denied without explanation. This isn't a department which servers it's citizens (i.e. it's employer), it's an organization that serves itself.
Just like every other gang the world over. Which is exactly what they are... a violent gang which engages in criminal activities for the purposes of financial gain.
"Leave this investigation right now." Lol and this is why people have a dislike for law enforcement
