00:03Ma'am, I need you to leave your bag with me.
00:06Store policy prohibits entering with bags.
00:09Excuse me?
00:10Your bag. You can't bring it inside.
00:13You need to leave it with me here at the security desk.
00:15The sign says bag checks, not that bags are prohibited.
00:19I'm happy to let you inspect it though.
00:21That's not how it works, ma'am.
00:23You need to leave it at the security desk here,
00:25or you can return it to your car.
00:26I parked blocks away, and I only have about 20 minutes to shop.
00:30Can't you just, like, check it now?
00:32I'm sorry, it's the store policy. Everyone has to follow it.
00:37Did you enforce this with everyone?
00:39Yes, everyone.
00:41Did you stop anyone else today?
00:43It's standard protocol, okay, and it's applied equally.
00:47Is it really?
00:48I don't know what you're insinuating, ma'am.
00:50I think you know exactly what I'm saying.
00:52Look, lady, these are the rules, okay?
00:54You can follow them, or you can leave.
00:58Fine.
00:59But I want assurance that my bag will be safe.
01:02This is very expensive.
01:04It'll be fine.
01:19Is there a problem?
01:21Just doing my job, ma'am.
01:23Your job is to follow me around the store?
01:27I'm the only customer you're watching.
01:29I can see other people shopping, and you're not following them.
01:32Store security applies to everyone.
01:34Then why are you only watching me?
01:37Look, if you have a complaint, you can speak to the manager, okay?
01:41Yeah, I'd like to speak to the manager, please.
01:43Manager!
01:44I need to speak with the manager!
01:47What seems to be the issue?
01:48I've been followed around since the moment I entered the store.
01:52I was forced to surrender my bag at the entrance, and now your security guard is shadowing my every move.
01:58I'm clearly being racially profiled.
02:01What happened?
02:03Standard security protocols, ma'am.
02:06Nothing more.
02:08I see.
02:10Are you planning to make a purchase today?
02:12Are you serious right now?
02:14I just told you I'm being profiled, and you're asking if I'm buying something.
02:19I'm trying to understand the situation.
02:21The situation is that I'm being harassed in your store.
02:24I just want to leave.
02:25Wait.
02:26We need to ensure no merchandise is leaving the store.
02:30Are you seriously accusing me of theft?
02:32We have protocols for suspicious behavior.
02:35She was acting nervous while browsing, looking around a lot.
02:39I was looking around because you were following me.
02:42You can search the cameras.
02:44You can search me if you want.
02:45I've been in your site the entire time, and I haven't taken anything.
02:49We still need to verify nothing was taken before you leave.
02:52This is a legal detention.
02:54You actually have no right to do this.
02:56Don't let her leave.
02:56I'm calling the police.
03:00This is insane.
03:01You have no grounds to hold me here.
03:03Yes.
03:04I need police at Monarch Boutique on 5th Street.
03:08We have a customer refusing security protocols and attempting to leave without verification.
03:16They're on their way.
03:17This is really ridiculous.
03:24Officer, thank you for coming.
03:26We had a suspicious customer refusing security protocols.
03:31She became hostile and tried to flee when we questioned her about potential theft.
03:36She was acting very defensive, raised all kinds of red flags.
03:40Hmm.
03:41Okay.
03:42I'm going to need to see some ID.
03:44It's in my bag at the security desk where I was forced to leave it.
03:49Is this the bag?
03:50Yep.
03:51You don't have permission to search my bag.
03:55You got a license in here?
03:57Yes.
03:57It's in the wallet.
03:59The leather wallet.
04:01Olivia Leland.
04:02This you?
04:04Obviously.
04:05Okay.
04:05I'm going to need you to empty your pockets.
04:07No.
04:08I haven't done anything wrong.
04:09Okay.
04:10Well, look lady.
04:11We can do it here or we can do it at the station.
04:13Your choice.
04:21I'm not playing around.
04:23Turn around slowly.
04:25Arms extended.
04:28This is humiliating.
04:30Just do it.
04:32Well, there's no visible stolen merchandise, but her behavior was still very suspicious.
04:38Very defensive from the moment she arrived, officer.
04:42I want to leave.
04:43Right now.
04:44Okay.
04:45Given the store's concerns and your attitude, I think that we should continue this conversation
04:49down at the station.
04:50My attitude?
04:52You have no probable cause for arrest.
04:54I've done nothing illegal.
04:56You were detained by store management for suspicious activity.
04:59I mean, that's enough for me, so put your hands behind your back.
05:02This is unlawful arrest.
05:04You have no evidence of any crime.
05:06Ma'am, turn around.
05:08Now I will not ask again.
05:11Ma'am, you have the right to remain silent.
05:14Anything you do or say can be used against you in a court of law.
05:18Let's go.
05:19I know my rights.
05:23Is that your phone?
05:25I need to answer that.
05:27It's my work phone.
05:28I missed an important meeting.
05:31You can make calls from the station, okay?
05:34Maybe you should let her answer it.
05:36Just to stop the noise.
05:38Yeah, I mean, what's the harm, right?
05:45This is Officer Brennan with the police department.
05:49I'm sorry, who is this?
05:50I'm calling for Olivia Leland.
05:52She's currently detained.
05:54Who is this?
05:56This is Patricia Morrison from the mayor's office.
05:59We've been trying to reach Ms. Leland for over an hour.
06:02She missed her noon appointment with the mayor and we became concerned given, you know, her position.
06:07Okay.
06:08What position?
06:10Well, Ms. Leland is a district attorney.
06:12She's been working with our office on criminal justice reform initiatives.
06:17What's going on?
06:18Why is she detained?
06:20Hello?
06:20Is anyone there?
06:21Yeah.
06:22Patricia, it's Olivia.
06:24I came to this clothing store to shop during my lunch break and I was forced to surrender my bag
06:29at the entrance.
06:31And that I was followed around the store by security and then falsely accused of theft despite being no evidence
06:38found.
06:38And then when I wanted to leave, they tried to detain me.
06:41And now I'm standing here in handcuffs, arrested by Officer Brennan, despite zero evidence of any wrongdoing.
06:48Okay, don't worry.
06:50I'm dispatching patrol units immediately.
06:52Don't move.
06:53I'm transferring you to Sheriff Henry right now.
06:57Hello, this is Sheriff Henry.
06:58Who's in command of that location?
07:01Sheriff, this is Officer Eric Brennan, sir.
07:05Brennan, did you handcuff the district attorney?
07:10Yes, sir.
07:11But the store called about suspicious activity and...
07:14Was any crime committed?
07:16Was any evidence of theft found?
07:19No, sir.
07:20Remove the handcuffs immediately.
07:23Do not let anyone leave that store.
07:24Control units are two minutes away.
07:26Yes, sir.
07:32Coughed.
07:34Here you go.
07:36What happened here today was not policy.
07:39It wasn't protocol.
07:41It was racism, pure and simple.
07:43I was profiled the moment I walked through that door.
07:46I was harassed.
07:47I was falsely accused.
07:49I was criminalized for the color of my skin while trying to shop.
07:53I work every day to reform a broken system that allows this exact abuse of power.
07:59I fight for people who experienced this without recourse.
08:03And today, I experienced it myself.
08:06You don't deserve that badge.
08:08You don't deserve your positions.
08:12You will all face consequences.
08:17Wait.
08:18Miss.
08:18Ma'am.
08:21I was doing my job, I thought.
08:31I...
08:31V, thanks for understanding, Rowan. I appreciate it.
08:34No problem.
08:35No problem.
08:41Hey, Brian. Where are you taking him?
08:44Rowan was brought in for questioning about the convenience store robbery.
08:48But we reviewed the evidence. He's innocent and free to go.
08:52Already? How long was he here?
08:54About three hours.
08:56Long enough to verify his alibi and review all available evidence.
09:00Are you sure about that?
09:01Did you thoroughly check everything?
09:04Of course we did.
09:06I always follow proper procedure.
09:08But did you really dig deep?
09:09Sometimes these cases require more intensive investigation.
09:14I have the security footage right here.
09:16Take a look.
09:17Let me see that again.
09:21As you can see, the quality is poor.
09:23But our witness statements don't match Rowan's description either, so...
09:27I can see some similarities here.
09:30The height looks about right and the build.
09:33Officer, I've already been cleared.
09:36The investigation found no evidence connecting me to any crime.
09:40That's right. Rowan's alibi checked out completely.
09:43I was at work doing the entire window of the robbery.
09:47I'll decide when you can leave.
09:50Keep quiet while we talk.
09:52Excuse me? I have rights here.
09:56Sophie, Rowan has been cooperative throughout the entire process.
09:59Cooperation does not prove innocence.
10:01I've seen plenty of guilty people act cooperative.
10:05I'm going to ask him a few more questions.
10:07This is all an active investigation.
10:10Sophie, we've already been through this. The case is closed.
10:13Cases can be reopened if new concerns arise.
10:16What new concerns? We have no additional evidence.
10:19I have authority as an investigative officer.
10:22I want to double check a few things.
10:24I've already answered all of these questions multiple times.
10:29Then answering them again shouldn't be a problem.
10:33Fine, but make it quick. We don't have grounds to hold him.
10:36I'll be the judge of how long it takes. Come with me, I have a few questions.
10:40This is harassment. This is not an investigation.
10:43Let me worry about what it is. Come on. Let's go.
10:47Walk up front. Five feet in front. Let's go. Come on.
10:51Go left.
10:57Alright. Let's go through your whereabouts again during the time of the robbery.
11:01I already provided the information to Officer Bryan. I was at work, then I went home.
11:08Humor me. I want to hear it again.
11:10Why? Nothing's changed since I gave my statement.
11:13Details sometimes change when people repeat their stories.
11:18I was at work at my accounting firm downtown.
11:23I left at six, stopped for groceries, then went home to my apartment.
11:28What grocery store?
11:30Safeway on 5th Street.
11:32Did you keep the receipt?
11:34Yes. I showed it to Officer Bryan and it's time stamped.
11:39Hmm. Receipts can be manipulated.
11:42This footage shows someone about your height and build. How do you explain that?
11:47That footage is too blurry to identify anyone specifically.
11:52You can't make a positive identification from that.
11:55I can see enough similarities to have reasonable suspicion.
11:59Reasonable suspicion requires more than physical similarities.
12:04I've been doing this job for about five years.
12:08I know what reasonable suspicion looks like.
12:11Officer, your questioning seems to be based on my appearance rather than any actual evidence.
12:18I treat all suspects equally. This has nothing to do with race.
12:22Then why are you ignoring my verified alibi and physical evidence?
12:26I'm not ignoring anything. I'm being thorough.
12:30Don't try to make this about something that it's not. I'm doing my job.
12:36Look, your job is to follow the evidence, not make assumptions based on racial profiling.
12:43I don't profile anyone. I investigate crimes.
12:47Investigating requires evidence. What evidence do you have against me?
12:51People like you are always trying to play the race card when you get caught.
12:55People like me? What exactly do you mean by that?
12:59People who think they're above the law.
13:02I never said I was above the law. I said I'm innocent.
13:06Officer, your behavior violates both my civil rights and my professional standards.
13:13Save the lecture. I know how to do my job.
13:15Do you? Because this doesn't feel like professional police work.
13:19You don't get to tell me how to do my job.
13:22Wait here and you discuss with my colleague.
13:26How much longer are you planning on keeping me here without charges?
13:30As long as it takes to get the truth.
13:41Ryan, I think we should hold him longer. Something doesn't feel right about this guy.
13:45Sophie, we have no legal grounds to hold him, okay?
13:48Continued detention would violate his civil rights.
13:51But what if our investigation missed something?
13:53We conducted a thorough investigation. His alibi is solid.
13:57You know how people like him can be.
13:59They're smooth talkers, but that doesn't mean they're innocent.
14:02People like him?
14:04Sophie, what are you talking about?
14:06I'm talking about criminals. They're often very convincing.
14:09Rowan isn't a criminal. He's an innocent man who got caught up in our investigation.
14:14I'm saying we should trust our instincts here. That footage shows someone who could be him.
14:19Could be isn't good enough for an arrest or a continued detention.
14:23Since when do we need absolute certainty to investigate?
14:26The footage is too blurry for positive ID. Our investigation found no credible evidence.
14:32But what if we're wrong? What if he's dangerous?
14:34What if we're wrong about an innocent person? We can't detain people based on hypotheticals.
14:40I just think we're being too hasty.
14:42We follow evidence, not hunches, okay? That's how police work is supposed to function.
14:47Sometimes police work requires intuition.
14:50Intuition backed by evidence. Not intuition instead of evidence.
14:54We need to release him now, Sophie. This has gone on for too long.
14:58The man is getting phone calls. That could be suspicious.
15:01People get phone calls, okay? It's normal.
15:04Just give me five more minutes with him.
15:06Five minutes. Then he walks.
15:17Yes, I'm still at the station. No. I haven't been charged with anything.
15:26Yeah, I should be released soon. At least I hope so.
15:33Who was that on the phone? Someone giving you your story?
15:37That was my sister checking in on me. Is that a crime now?
15:41Depends on what you're discussing.
15:43We were discussing the fact that I've been held here for hours without charges.
15:48I know you're hiding something. Innocent people don't act like you're acting.
15:54And how exactly am I acting?
15:57Being too calm. Too prepared with your answers.
16:01Should I be panicking? Would that prove my innocence?
16:05You know, officer, your behavior is clearly motivated by racial prejudice.
16:09This is not a legitimate investigation.
16:12That's a serious accusation.
16:15It's a serious situation. You're violating my civil rights.
16:19I'm conducting a criminal investigation.
16:23You're conducting a harassment disguise as an investigation.
16:31I just received new footage from a different camera with a much better resolution.
16:36What kind of footage?
16:39Right there.
16:42The store across the street had a security camera pointing towards the robbery scene.
16:46And as you can see, this person bears no resemblance to Rowan whatsoever.
16:51The suspect is clearly shorter and heavier and has a completely different facial features on him.
16:58Well this changes things.
17:00This completely vindicates me and exposes your baseless nature of this harassment.
17:06The footage shows the actual perpetrator committing the crime while Rowan was at work.
17:12I, I couldn't have known better about the footage. I was just doing due diligence.
17:17Due diligence? You treated me like a criminal based solely on my race.
17:22That is not true. I was following standard investigative procedures.
17:26Standard procedure does not include ignoring evidence and harassing innocent people.
17:31The quality of this footage doesn't excuse discriminatory treatment and racial profiling.
17:39You ignored my alibi, dismissed physical evidence, and continued to question me even after I was cleared.
17:46He's right. Your behavior was inappropriate, regardless of the evidence available.
17:51I was being cautious. That's good police work.
17:54No, Sophie. Good police work follows evidence, not prejudice.
17:58This is ridiculous. I was just doing my job.
18:01That wasn't doing your job. This was abuse of power.
18:04And actually, Sophie, I've been discussing the situation with the Chief.
18:09Your conduct today violated department policy and civil rights law.
18:14What are you talking about?
18:15I documented everything that happened here today.
18:17You were documenting our investigation?
18:19I was documenting your misconduct.
18:22You're being terminated immediately for racist conduct and violation of proper procedure.
18:28What? You can't be serious.
18:30The Chief has reviewed the situation and agreed your behavior was unacceptable.
18:35This is insane. I have done nothing wrong.
18:38This is all politics and political correctness has gone crazy.
18:41This isn't politics. This is accountability.
18:45I won't stand for this. I will fight this decision.
18:47That's your right, but the evidence against you is clear.
18:52Evidence? What evidence?
18:53Your treatment of him, you ignored evidence, and your inappropriate comments.
19:01This isn't over.
19:03Yes, it is.
19:09Rowan, I sincerely apologize for the treatment you received today.
19:13I should have intervened sooner.
19:16Your experience here was completely unacceptable.
19:21I appreciate your apology, Brian.
19:24The responsibility lies with Sophie, not you.
19:28I still should have stopped it earlier.
19:33You did the right thing when it matters most.
19:35All I hear about is that Sophie learns from this experience.
19:40Well, whether she does or not, she won't have the opportunity to harm anyone else in uniform.
19:47And that's what matters most.
19:59Hello, officer. What seems to be the problem?
20:02You know why I pulled you over?
20:04Actually, no. I can't say that I do.
20:07No failures.
20:09Well, you see, this is a nice small town, right?
20:12The kind of neighborhood everybody knows everybody.
20:16Except I don't know you two.
20:18So what, are you lost or something?
20:20Well, actually, we are on our way to Austin, and we're just passing through, so that's probably why he didn't
20:25recognize me.
20:27Sir, is there a problem here, or did you just want friends to pull over and chit chat with?
20:32Young lady, I wasn't talking to you.
20:33Now, unless you want to be in even more trouble than you already are, I would suggest keeping your mouth
20:39closed.
20:40Tracy, it's all good. Let's just let the officer do his job.
20:44That's right. Now that right there is the best advice I've heard all day.
20:49So, uh, tell me you guys are a couple or something?
20:52That is none of your business.
20:54Tracy, please.
20:56Yes, officer, we're actually married.
20:58And as you may tell, my wife is very protective of me.
21:02You're right.
21:04Detective.
21:06I gotta say, couples like you, you make me sick.
21:12And why is that, sir?
21:15Come on. Look at you.
21:18Look at her.
21:22Do you have any weapons in the vehicle I need to know about?
21:26I don't know how a lot of y'all are into that.
21:30No, officer. There are no weapons or... in this vehicle.
21:35Alright, so then you don't mind if I take a quick look around?
21:38Actually, I would. You need a search warrant to search the car.
21:42A search warrant?
21:45You got a lawyer or something here?
21:47He's not, but I am. And he's right. You do need a warrant to search this car.
21:53My man, I do this for a living, so let me just tell you something. A little piece of advice.
22:00If you put the reins on your woman a little harder, it's gonna go a lot better for you.
22:04But if she keeps yapping her mouth, both of you are gonna be in a world of hurt. Now, do
22:09you understand me?
22:10Yes, sir. Honey, just let me handle this.
22:17Now, officer, why aren't you telling me the real reason why you pulled this over?
22:20I don't have to tell you anything, buddy.
22:22Sir, would you please step out of the vehicle?
22:25Step out of the vehicle? Why?
22:27Why?
22:29Why?
22:31Because I told you to step out of the vehicle!
22:34That's why!
22:35Officer, stop! You're hurting him!
22:37On your feet.
22:38Come with me. Hands behind your back. Now!
22:41Officer, why are you doing this?
22:43Why?
22:45Because the sight of you two together makes my skin crawl. Now, that's why.
22:50It ain't natural. It certainly ain't right.
22:53Now, you might feel that way, but it's not illegal.
22:56You got me there.
22:58But possession of a controlled substance? Whoop, that's certainly illegal.
23:02Officer, those aren't even mine. I've never seen those before.
23:04We'll see about that. It'll be my word against yours.
23:08Officer, what's going on here?
23:09Well, what's going on here is you better order yourself an Uber because your ride is coming with me tonight.
23:16And I gotta say, nothing makes me happier than putting guys like you away.
23:22Nothing. Come on.
23:23Alright, John. Let him go.
23:25Tracy Atkins, FBI. This is Special Agent Nick Walker.
23:28What's going on here now?
23:29We've received many allegations about your racist and sexist behavior, Officer Franklin.
23:33So much so that the FBI was brought in to investigate.
23:37And I think you just gave us all the evidence we need to close your case.
23:40Your indictment will be on Friday.
23:43Everything she's saying is true, John.
23:45You buried your own grave.
23:47Now listen, listen.
23:49I know this situation got out of hand, alright?
23:52I apologize. I do.
23:55But look.
23:56You guys remember how it is?
23:58Being out on the streets?
24:00Never knowing what could happen, having to make judgment calls?
24:02It's too late to apologize, John.
24:04I think you should go home and get your affairs in order.
24:09Alright.
24:12See you soon, John.
24:16Yeah, they never learn.
24:18Never.
24:18But that face is satisfying every single time.
24:22Wanna get some donuts?
24:24You're buying.
24:25Fine.
