Police Encounter and Arrest Discussion
Hey, what is going on?
I'm getting tired of back up as well, man.
Stop. Stop. Put your hands behind your back.
Excuse me?
Do you work for parking?
I don't work for parking.
Okay.
What the hell?
So what's going on with that?
Huh?
What's going on with, with that?
Well, I need you to tell me what you're doing to
me right now.
Okay. What are you doing?
Get your hands off me first, please.
Go ahead and step it out.
Go ahead.
Hey.
Put your hands behind your back. Go ahead and put your hands behind your
back.
Just relax.
All right.
When I tell you to do something, you do it. Okay?
No. No, that's not how that works.
All right.
Actually it is. That's called a lawful order.
All right.
Go ahead and-
Get the out of here. I know my rights.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, bro.
That's why you're in cuff.
Lean up against the car. Nope, over here.
Over here.
Forward. Spread your legs out.
Okay. So what are you arresting him for? Are you trying to charge him with theft?
Theft.
And then do you have obstruction for whatever he was doing here?
Uh, I mean, I told him to put his hands behind his
back. He didn't listen.
So I mean, it was-
I just wanna be clear. You're, 'cause you started searching him.
If we're searching him, then that's a-
No, I told him to put him back.
Okay. We should've done that before we put him in the car,
but I just wanna be
clear with what we're doing.
Yeah. So when I told you to put your hands
behind your back, you didn't listen.
Yeah, man, you were grabbing me. I didn't know what you was doing, so.
No, I gave you lawful order before I even
grabbed you.
What, what, what's that? What the does that mean, lawful order?
What's that?
Okay. When I told you, when an officer tells you,
"Put your hands behind your
back," you go ahead and do that. I mean, everything is recorded.
You about to lie right now, bro?
Okay.
Okay, you got a body on you.
What charge you? I'm charging you with obstruction.
'Cause I don't know what the is happening.
Okay? I'm charging you with obstruction.
Charging me with obstruction? I'll take your ass to court, buddy.
You go to, you go ... Yeah, I'm going to court. Do you go to UC?
Perfect. Perfect. Let's go.
You go to UC?
I ain't gotta answer to .
Okay. So I said, "Hey, what's going on?" He goes,
"What do you mean what's going
on?" I was like, "Do you work for parking?" He was like,
"No, I don't work for
parking." So I was like, "Put your hands behind your back." So I
grabbed him, and
he started, like, trying to yank it.
So that's when I was like, "Step it out." He doesn't wanna talk.
Okay. Then we're definitely charging him with
more than obstruction.
Yeah.
Here's the deal. You're under arrest for obstruction of
justice, right?
For what?
He gave you a lawful order. You didn't listen.
I'm so glad that's what you're charging me with. Your ass is screwed.
Sure, but I'll lose your job.
I already did something. I was fully compliant. I was walking away.
You were walking away. That's why I even grabbed you.
Walking away?
You were walking away.
Oh, I'm so glad y'all have body cams. Thank God you do, man.
For real? You, do you be lying like this on the job,
like, all the time?
Whatever. It's-
Yeah
... buddy, I don't know what law school you pretended
to go to.
Buddy, I don't know what law school you even went
to.
So like,
I ... Did you go to law school?
I'm not the one in cuffs in the back of a car, am I?
It's not relevant.
Oh, it is.
I'm only just talking.
Because you're in the back of the car for acting like a jack through this entire
investigation.
Oh, so that's what I'm in the back of the car
for, is acting like a jack ?
Yes. It's called obstruction of justice.
Is that all there is to me?
When an officer gives you a lawful order ...
He didn't ask you the question of, "Are you a parking employee?"
And then he said,
"This is theft. Come over here." And you said-
No, that is not at all what he said. Not even close.
Okay.
I didn't hear the word theft until I was sitting in this car with cuffs on.
