00:00This UB police officer in Mao questioned two siblings, mistaking them for a couple, and proceeded to call their parents for verification.
00:30The clip, recorded during what appears to be routine patrolling, has since spread widely
00:41on social media, triggering sharp and divided reactions over police conduct, personal freedom
00:46and the boundaries of public policing.
01:00Some users said that the officer appeared more focused on being on camera than on actual
01:13policing, pointing out that the mic attached to a collar suggested the video was being
01:18deliberately recorded, while others questioned the legality of the intervention itself.
01:22However, several users defended the police action, arguing that verification and inquiry
01:27are a part of routine policing, especially in public spaces.
01:31The video has now reignited a larger conversation, where does public safety end and personal liberty
01:36begin?
01:37And in the age of viral policing, who decides that line?
