00:00Let me just tell you something, a little piece of advice.
00:03If you put the reins on your woman a little harder,
00:06it's going to go a lot better for you.
00:08How could you possibly tell that I was a thief just from seeing me look around?
00:12Oh please, people like you are all the same.
00:15Looking for handouts and trying to take the easy way out
00:18rather than putting in the work to pulling yourself back up.
00:21It's honestly crazy that we haven't arrested all of you.
00:30Hello, officer. What seems to be the problem?
00:32You know why I pulled you over?
00:34Actually, no. But I can't say that I do.
00:38Nothing is.
00:39Well, you see, this is a nice small town, right?
00:43Kind of neighborhood everybody knows everybody.
00:46Except I don't know you two.
00:48So what, are you lost or something?
00:50Well, actually, we are on our way to Austin,
00:53and we're just passing through, so that's probably why you didn't recognize me.
00:57Sir, is there a problem here?
00:59Or did you just want friends to pull over and chit-chat with?
01:02Young lady, I wasn't talking to you.
01:04Now, unless you want to be in even more trouble than you already are,
01:08I would suggest keeping your mouth closed.
01:10Tracy, it's all good.
01:13Let's just let the officer do his job.
01:14That's right. Now that right there is the best advice I've heard all day.
01:19So, uh, tell me you guys are a couple or something?
01:23That is none of your business.
01:24Tracy, please.
01:26Yes, officer, we're actually married.
01:28And as you may tell, my wife is very protective of me.
01:32Yeah, you're right.
01:35Detective.
01:36I gotta say, couples like you, you make me sick.
01:42And why is that, sir?
01:45Come on.
01:47Look at you.
01:49Look at her.
01:52Do you have any weapons in the vehicle I need to know about?
01:56I don't know how a lot of y'all are into that.
02:01No, officer.
02:02There are no weapons or in this vehicle.
02:05All right, so then you don't mind if I take a quick look around?
02:08Actually, I would.
02:10You need a search warrant to search the car.
02:12A search warrant?
02:16Have you got a lawyer or something here?
02:17He's not, but I am.
02:20And he's right.
02:21You do need a warrant to search this car.
02:23My man, I do this for a living, so let me just tell you something.
02:28A little piece of advice.
02:30If you put the reins on your woman a little harder, it's going to go a lot better for you.
02:34But if she keeps yapping her mouth, both of you are going to be in a world of hurt.
02:39Now, do you understand me?
02:41Yes, sir.
02:43Honey, just let me handle this.
02:47Now, officer, why don't you tell me the real reason why you pulled this over?
02:50I don't have to tell you anything, buddy.
02:53Sir, would you please step out of the vehicle?
02:55Step out of the vehicle?
02:56Why?
02:57Why?
02:59Why?
03:01Because I told you to step out of the vehicle.
03:04That's why.
03:05Officer, stop.
03:06You're hurting him.
03:07On your feet.
03:08Come with me.
03:09Hands behind your back.
03:11Now.
03:12Officer, why are you doing this?
03:13Why?
03:15Because the sight of you two together makes my skin crawl.
03:18Now, that's why.
03:20It ain't natural.
03:22It certainly ain't right.
03:23Now, you might feel that way, but it's not illegal.
03:26You got me there.
03:28But possession of a controlled substance?
03:30Whoop, that's certainly illegal.
03:32Officer, those aren't even mine.
03:33I've never seen those before.
03:35Let's see about that.
03:36It'll be my word against yours.
03:38Officer, what is going on here?
03:40Well, what's going on here is you better order yourself an Uber because your ride is coming with me tonight.
03:47And I gotta say, now, then makes me happier than putting guys like you away.
03:52Nothing.
03:53Come on.
03:53All right, John.
03:54One go.
03:55Tracy Atkins, FBI.
03:56This is Special Agent Nick Walker.
03:58What's going on here now?
03:59We have received many allegations about your racist and sexist behavior, Officer Franklin.
04:03So much so that the FBI was brought in to investigate.
04:07And I think you just gave us all the evidence we need to close your case.
04:11Your indictment will be on Friday.
04:13Everything she's saying is true, John.
04:16You buried your own grave.
04:17Now, listen, listen.
04:19I know this situation got out of hand, all right?
04:22I apologize.
04:23I do.
04:25But look.
04:26You guys remember how it is?
04:29Being out on the streets?
04:30Never knowing what could happen?
04:31Having to make judgment calls?
04:32It's too late to apologize, John.
04:34I think you should go home.
04:36Get your affairs in order.
04:39All right.
04:42See you soon, John.
04:46Yeah, they never learn.
04:48Never.
04:48But that face is satisfying every single time.
04:53Want to get some donuts?
04:54You're buying.
04:56Fine.
05:02So, Denise, how long you been on the force?
05:06Long enough to know when something's off.
05:09How about you?
05:10What's your story?
05:12I mean, I'm just a clean guy.
05:14Mm-hmm.
05:16Cool, clean guy.
05:18Law school didn't work out for me, but justice, justice is my thing.
05:22It's a rare mindset these days.
05:24It's your first week, then.
05:26Not bad.
05:27Not bad.
05:27Just learn the ropes, you know?
05:30Mm-hmm.
05:30Oh, hold on.
05:32Oh, we got some company.
05:34Ah, cool.
05:35I'm expecting him.
05:38Really?
05:39Mm-hmm.
05:40Huh.
05:41All right.
05:42He should just take home.
05:44Mm-hmm.
05:44Here we come.
05:45Yeah.
05:56License and registration.
05:58Is there a problem, officer?
06:00You know, you tell me.
06:02This is a nice neighborhood.
06:04What brings you to here?
06:06We're just passing through, officer.
06:08Okay.
06:09Step out of the car, sir.
06:11I don't understand nothing or something, though.
06:13Just do as you're told.
06:15You fit a description we got, all right?
06:17So we need to check you out.
06:18He's done nothing wrong.
06:20This is racial profiling, officer, which is a federal crime.
06:23Stay out of this, ma'am.
06:24I'm just doing my job.
06:27Officer, I assure you you're making a mistake.
06:29Okay, well, we'll see about that.
06:31So, what are you guys really doing in this neighborhood?
06:34Like we said, just passing through.
06:37Right, right.
06:37I heard that before.
06:39But here's the thing.
06:40You don't look like you belong here.
06:42What's in the car?
06:44Oh, nothing illegal, officer.
06:46Okay, well, I'll see about that.
06:48You have no right to search the car without probable cause.
06:51Quiet, ma'am.
06:51I'm doing my job.
07:12Oh, here's your friend.
07:18Yep, here it is.
07:20So, if I'm anything good, you're hiding something. I can tell.
07:27I'm not hiding anything. You're making a mistake.
07:30We'll see about that. I've dealt with plenty like you.
07:33He has rights! You can't just-
07:34Hey, hey! Get back in that car right now or I'll arrest you two for obstruction.
07:39Alright, pal. You're coming with me. I'll sort this out at the station.
07:43What's the charge?
07:45I'll think of something.
07:46Hey, man!
07:47Come on. Come on.
07:48You're making a mistake.
07:49You're under arrest. Come on.
07:50You're making a mistake, man. Come on, man.
07:52Hands behind your back. Behind your back.
07:55Yo!
07:57Alright, that's enough.
08:02FBI, back it up.
08:05FBI, what is this?
08:07You've been under surveillance for corruption and racial profiling.
08:11Wait. What? You're an-
08:13an undercover agent. Bingo. And everything you said and done has been recorded.
08:19Every threat, every illegal action is on tape.
08:22This is entrapment.
08:24No, it's justice. You've been on our radar for some time, Harland.
08:28Your pattern of behavior made you an easy target.
08:31You tricked me.
08:32It wasn't a trick. It was a strategy to reveal the truth.
08:35Your own actions condemned you. Nothing else.
08:38Oh, yeah? You know, I was doing my job. I'm keeping these streets safe.
08:41Is that what you call it? Harassing innocent people based on their race?
08:44It's not keeping the streets safe.
08:46No, no, no, no. People like him are always up to no good.
08:50And there it is. The mindset that put you in hot water.
08:52Not your badge, Harland. Your prejudice.
08:56You think you're better than me?
08:58You think the system isn't rigged in its own way?
09:00I believe in justice, Harland. Not the warped vision you've been serving.
09:06Justice, don't make me laugh. You and I, we're not so different.
09:11We're nothing alike. I don't hide behind my badge to justify my biases.
09:16Oh, you FBI types. You think you have all the answers.
09:20No, but we do have evidence. And your career of corruption ends tonight.
09:26You think taking me down is going to change anything?
09:29It's a start and one less corrupt cop on the streets.
09:33Let's go. We got everything we need.
09:35You'll be hearing from your boss within a few hours.
09:37I'd get your affairs in order if I were you.
09:39Good luck, because I'm on a bowling team with the chief of police.
09:46Let's get out of here.
09:52Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you that was going to happen.
09:54But since you're new to the bureau and all, I just wanted to see how you could act under pressure.
09:58I understand. I just, it's a lot to take in. That's all.
10:03The injustice you just experienced is why we fight this fight.
10:06What happens now?
10:08Well, Hartland will face charges for his actions and, as for us, we got a lot more work to do.
10:14You know, I could use someone like you in the future. Someone who understands the stakes.
10:19Count me in. It's about making a difference, right?
10:22Right. Let's get out of here. We got reports to file and a long night ahead.
10:27So, uh, looks like we're partners now.
10:30Looks like it.
10:32Cheers to that.
10:38Man, what a day.
10:40These better be my new headphones.
10:42Uh, hi. What are you doing?
10:45Uh, hey. I'm just picking up my package. Been waiting for this one.
10:50Your package, huh? That's really funny because, you know, I find it really hard to believe that that is yours.
10:57And why is that? It's got my name on it and I live here. Apartment 3B.
11:02Right. Well, it's, it's just that I've never seen you around.
11:05And, you know, with all the package thieves lately, it's, it's a bit suspicious. Don't you think?
11:11Suspicious? Because I'm picking up my package from the mailroom?
11:16I'm just saying it's a bit odd.
11:18I've been here for years and I know pretty much everyone and thieves have been on the rise.
11:23So, you could literally be anybody.
11:26Okay. I get that. But I assure you, it's just me. I'm just me. Regularly me. Getting my stuff. There's
11:34nothing odd about that.
11:35Okay, yeah. But, um, how do I know that you're not lying? You could be a thief. You could be
11:40the one that everyone's talking about. I mean, you fit the profile, so.
11:44The profile. And what exactly would that profile be?
11:48Well, you know, like, you know, like people have been stealing packages around here and they look a lot like
11:55you, so.
11:57They look like me, so my race here is the issue?
12:01Oh, I didn't say that. I'm just saying you, you can't be too careful these days. You understand, right?
12:06No, I don't understand. This is profiling. Plain and simple. I live here. My name is Seth Richardson and I
12:14don't appreciate being accused of theft on my own property.
12:17Seth Richardson, huh. Well, Seth, I'm just trying to protect our community and if you're so innocent, then why are
12:25you getting so defensive?
12:27Because being baselessly accused isn't exactly a pleasant experience and your idea of protection seems quite targeted. I don't even
12:34know your name.
12:36Look, all I'm trying to say is that if you're not stealing, then you have nothing to worry about.
12:41And I have nothing I need to prove to you. Again, what's your name?
12:45It's Jessica, but that's none of your concern. What matters right now is that you need to drop that package
12:50and get out of here.
12:52Uh, no. Okay, I'm taking my package and I'm going to my apartment. You have a good day, Jessica.
12:59Hey, no, if you try to leave now, I'm calling the police.
13:02Go ahead. Call them. They'll find out that the package has my name on it. And besides, I have every
13:07right to be here just like you. I live here.
13:10I'm just doing my part as a concerned citizen. And if you were in my shoes, you'd do the same
13:14thing. I mean, neighborhood watch and all that, so.
13:17There's a difference between neighborhood watch and harassing your neighbors based on how they look. I'm going inside. You do
13:24what you feel you need to do.
13:27Just remember, I warned you. And I'll be right behind you, watching you.
13:32That's your choice. But if you follow me, just know that's harassment.
13:36Oh, so now you're an expert of the law. Okay.
13:40Well, I'm not thinking to about it.
13:41Well, I don't appreciate this attitude that you're giving me. Just drop the package, leave, spare yourself the trouble.
13:48Whatever, lady. It was nice to meet you.
13:51Hey, hey, don't you dare leave with that package. Hey, hey, you can't leave. Don't leave.
13:57Excuse me. Excuse me.
14:02This lady crazy, man. I'm not even about to do this.
14:05Hey, hey, hey. You can't just barge into someone's home.
14:08Oh, I'm sorry. Am I making you uncomfortable? Because that's how I feel every day knowing that people like you
14:15are around here.
14:16People like me? What's that supposed to mean? And what gives you the right to enter my apartment?
14:21Well, I told you I'm looking out for the neighborhood. And if I let you go without verifying that you're
14:27not a thief, then what kind of neighborhood watch would I be?
14:30A pretty terrible one, considering you're accusing me of stealing with absolutely no proof. This is insane. You need to
14:37leave now.
14:37Oh, I am not going anywhere. Not until I've made sure you're not hiding anything stolen in here.
14:44Look, Jessica, this is ridiculous. I'm not a thief. I'm a regular person. Just living my life. You're making a
14:52huge mistake.
14:52Or maybe I'm the only brave one enough to confront what's really happening around here. I mean, maybe if more
14:59people were like me, then we wouldn't have these problems.
15:03You think breaking into my home and accusing me of crimes without any evidence is brave? It's not bravery. That's
15:09paranoia. And it's wrong.
15:10Well, your so-called innocence doesn't explain all the nice things you have in here. How can you afford all
15:18this? I mean, it doesn't look like the lifestyle of a regular person to me.
15:21Because I work hard for what I have. And everything in here, I earned it. You have no right to
15:27question that.
15:27Oh, oh, no. I have every right when it comes to the safety of my community. You wouldn't understand, would
15:34you? Living here like you own the place, when in reality, I mean-
15:37In reality what? You know nothing about me, my life, or how I got here. Your assumptions are baseless and
15:45a slight bit offensive.
15:47Assumptions? Please. I'm just stating facts. I mean, look at this place. And look at you. It's clear as day.
15:55You know what? I'm done arguing with you. This has gone nowhere. You're trespassing, and I want you out of
16:03my apartment immediately.
16:05Oh, not happening. You know what? I'm calling the cops. They'll sort this out. They'll see that I'm just doing
16:10my part.
16:10She really no problem. Yes, hello? Hi. Um, I-I've caught a package thief. He's-he's in this apartment right
16:18now with a bunch of stolen goods. You need to come arrest him immediately.
16:22Yeah. Thank you. Bye. Well, that's that. They're on their way. You're done. Hope you enjoy prison, you thief.
16:34You-you are unbelievable. You barged into my home, accused me of crimes that I did not commit. You call
16:42the police on me, and for what? Your ego? Your prejudice?
16:47For justice. And when they get here, they'll see that I was right. They'll thank me for catching you.
16:53And what if you're wrong? What then, Jessica? What if you made a huge mistake?
16:58I'm not wrong. I can't be. I'm never wrong. Everything points to you being guilty.
17:03No. Everything points to you being incapable of seeing reason. Being without reason. Being unreasonable. Delusional. This is going far
17:11enough. You need to leave before this gets any worse for you.
17:14Oh, I'm not going anywhere. And once the police come and take you away, then everyone will see that I
17:19was right.
17:23Evening, folks. Got a call about a disturbance here. Seems to be the problem.
17:28Thank you for coming, officer. I'm sorry you had to be called out for absolute nonsense.
17:34Officer, thank goodness you're here. I'm the one who called. This man has been stealing packages, and I caught him
17:39red-handed.
17:40Is that right? And you are?
17:43I'm Seth Richardson. And for the record, I haven't stolen anything. This is just a huge misunderstanding.
17:48Uh, Mr. Richardson? As in the federal prosecutor, Seth Richardson?
17:53Yes. Yes, that's me.
17:56Wait. A what now?
17:58Uh, I know Mr. Richardson. He's worked with me on several cases. So, can someone please explain to me what's
18:04going on here?
18:06But, but officer, he was, he was with the package outside, and, and there's been thieves in the area. I
18:12was, I was just trying to protect our community, and, you know.
18:14And, and she barged into my apartment, accused me of being a thief, and refused to leave my home, which
18:19is why she's still standing here in front of me, in my home.
18:22And I've tried to explain to her that she's mistaken, but she absolutely would not listen. Here we are.
18:27Ma'am, do you have, uh, any proof at all that Mr. Richardson has stolen anything?
18:32Well, no. But I mean, look at, look at all the nice things he has. I mean, how could someone
18:37like him afford all of this without stealing?
18:40That's not proof, ma'am. That's assumption and prejudice. And it's not acceptable.
18:45Everything I own, I work hard for. Jessica here decided, based on nothing but her own bias, that I must
18:52be some sort of a criminal.
18:54Mr. Richardson here is a respected member of the community. Accusations like this are serious, and can have serious consequences.
19:01But, but no, I was just, I was just trying to do the right thing. I mean, if I had
19:06known who he was, then...
19:08So, because of my job title, now suddenly I'm credible, right? What if I wasn't a federal prosecutor?
19:14No. Would my rights matter less?
19:16No, no, no. It's, it's not that. It's, that's not. I just thought that...
19:19What you thought was wrong, and it led to you breaking the law. You entered Mr. Richardson's home without permission.
19:25That's trespassing.
19:26And beyond that, it's the assumption that because of the way I look, I must, must be up to no
19:33good. That's the problem here.
19:35I, I, I didn't realize. I was, I was scared for our neighborhood. I mean, I really didn't mean to
19:41make such a mess of things.
19:44Your intentions don't excuse your actions. Okay, what you did was wrong. And it's more than just a simple mistake.
19:50Given the circumstances, Mr. Richardson, would you like to press charges for trespassing and harassment?
19:57Yeah. Yeah, actually I would. I think this is very appropriate. This can't go unaddressed.
20:02Please, no. No, you, you don't need to. I'm, I'm sorry. I, I don't know, I...
20:07If I would have known, then I would have never done any of this.
20:11It shouldn't matter who I am, if you know it or not. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and
20:17without baseless accusations.
20:19So yes, I like to press charges.
20:21Ma'am, you're gonna have to come with me.
20:22Oh, absolutely not. I'm not going anywhere with you.
20:24Come on.
20:25Absolutely not.
20:26You're coming with me. Come on.
20:27No, I'm not.
20:28Look, I don't have time for this.
20:29I...
20:30Come on.
20:30No, this is my building. You, you can't...
20:32Ma'am.
20:32You can't take me. You have to take him.
20:35Sorry about that.
20:36Thank you, Officer.
20:48Uh, hey there. It looks like your car is giving you a bit of a headache.
20:51I was just riding by and I thought maybe you could use your hand.
20:55Hey, what's the trouble? Engine acting up or...?
20:58Hey, yeah, it's just...
20:59Ugh, it's been a beast today.
21:02But you know, I'm pretty sure I've got it under control.
21:03Just waiting on a friend to bring me a ring.
21:05I think so.
21:07No words.
21:07Hey, look, I get wanting to sort it out yourself,
21:09but you know sometimes it helps having someone take a second look.
21:13I've picked up a trick or two of cars over the years.
21:16Hey, I'm Elijah, by the way. Officer Elijah.
21:19But hey, just Elijah is fine when I'm out on the clock.
21:22It's nice to meet you.
21:24Really, I think I'll just wait it out.
21:26You know how it is.
21:27Can't trust everyone who offers help these days.
21:30You're really a cop?
21:31Oh yeah, I totally get that.
21:33Look, it's a bit of a crazy world out here.
21:35Here, let me show you my bag, see?
21:37Legit officer, just looking to make your day a bit easier.
21:40No strings attached, promise.
21:42I ain't even got my gun on me.
21:44I mean, badges can be faked, right?
21:48Just, you hear stories, don't you?
21:51Look, I'm sure you're a nice guy and all, but I'd rather not risk it.
21:53I've got my phone anyway, I can call help if I really need to.
21:56Oh yeah, you're not wrong.
21:57It's good, great evening, and be cautious.
21:59But really, I'm just here to help.
22:01If you worried, I could just stand back and give you some pointers,
22:03or call a toll for you, I promise.
22:05No funny business.
22:06Just wanted to make sure you're safe is all.
22:07Look, Elijah, I appreciate it, I do.
22:09I really don't feel comfortable having someone like you this close to me.
22:13I'm just more comfortable dealing with this on my own.
22:15Someone like me?
22:16I don't understand people don't like cops, but I promise you I'm a good guy.
22:19I just don't see a lot of people with your background being helpful.
22:24Are you trying to steal from me?
22:26What? No!
22:27Because approaching someone randomly on the street posing as a police officer is not a good look.
22:32If you try anything, I will pepper spray you.
22:34What?
22:34Look, some of us just want to do something good, you know?
22:36Look, I appreciate the offer, but this is getting weird and I don't want your help.
22:39I don't...
22:40I don't know how I can make that clearer.
22:42Understood.
22:43Stay safe, alright?
22:44Bye.
23:03Hey there.
23:04Welcome aboard.
23:05I remember to buckle up.
23:08Safety first, right?
23:09Where to today?
23:10Thanks.
23:11Uh, just heading downtown.
23:13Near the Central Library.
23:15Should be in your app.
23:16Got it.
23:16Central Library it is.
23:19Uh, you know, I don't get many fares this part of town.
23:21You visiting someone here?
23:23No, just had some car trouble.
23:24Long story.
23:26Um, I'm just glad to be on my way now.
23:28Ah, car trouble.
23:30Say no more.
23:31I've been there.
23:33Well, you are in good hands now.
23:36I'll get you there in no time.
23:40Did you just lock the doors?
23:41Oh, yeah.
23:42Just a habit.
23:43You know, safety and all.
23:46This neighborhood can be a bit sketchy.
23:49Better safe than sorry, right?
23:52I guess so.
23:53Makes sense.
23:53So?
23:54You live around here?
23:55Well, I mean, not around here, but, you know, in the city?
23:59Yeah.
24:00Downtown, actually.
24:01I've been here for a few years now.
24:02It's nice.
24:03Convenient.
24:04Mmm.
24:05Downtown, huh?
24:06That's a nice area.
24:08Lots of things to do.
24:09Places to see.
24:11You ever get bored of it?
24:13Not really.
24:14There's always something going on.
24:15Keeps things interesting.
24:17You know, uh...
24:19You're quite beautiful.
24:21If you don't mind me saying.
24:23But you get a lot of attention downtown.
24:26Mmm, thanks.
24:27I guess...
24:28Can we maybe not talk about that?
24:29Sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
24:32You know, just making conversation, you know.
24:34But, uh...
24:35You...
24:36You really are quite striking.
24:38It's not every day I get such a...
24:41Such a good-looking passenger.
24:42Can you focus on driving?
24:43I'd prefer not to discuss this.
24:45Oh, sure, sure.
24:46My bad.
24:47You know, just being friendly.
24:49But, you know, it's a long ride, and I thought maybe you'd want some company.
24:52Some conversation.
24:53Helps pass the time.
24:55Okay, I appreciate the compliment, but I'm okay to ride in silence.
24:59Right, right, right.
25:01You see, do you go out much?
25:02I mean, you seem like someone to have a pretty exciting social life.
25:06I keep busy.
25:06Look, can we just keep this ride professional?
25:08Oh, oh, of course, of course.
25:10Professional's my middle name.
25:12You're the boss.
25:15You know what I was thinking?
25:16We could take a little detour.
25:18There's this really nice spot that I think you'd like.
25:21Very scenic.
25:22No, thank you.
25:23Please just stick to the route.
25:25I'm in a bit of a hurry.
25:26Oh, come on.
25:29Live a little.
25:30I promise it'll be worth your while.
25:33Besides, when's the last time you did something spontaneous?
25:36Look, I really don't think it's a good idea.
25:39Please just go to the library.
25:42No, trust me.
25:44You're going to love this.
25:45You know, it's not often you get to escape the hustle and bustle, you know?
25:49What are you doing?
25:50Why did you just turn off the app?
25:52Well, we're past that point now.
25:55You see this ride?
25:57It's going to be a bit longer than you expected.
25:59And trust me, where we're going, you won't need to worry about returning anytime soon.
26:06Let me out.
26:06Now, this isn't funny.
26:08Oh, the doors.
26:10The child lock.
26:12Safety first, remember.
26:14No getting out until we reach our final destination.
26:18Help!
26:18Help!
26:19Someone help me, please!
26:20Help me!
26:21Stop!
26:22Stop!
26:24Stop!
26:27Roll the window down.
26:28Now.
26:29Roll the window down now.
26:31What's this about, officer?
26:32I'm just driving a passenger.
26:33Help me, please!
26:34He's trying to kidnap me!
26:35Step out of the car, sir.
26:36Now, step, get out.
26:38You've got it all wrong.
26:39She's just a bit upset.
26:41We're having a disagreement.
26:42That's all.
26:43I said, step out of the car.
26:45This is a misunderstanding.
26:46I haven't done anything.
26:48You can explain that to the judge.
26:49Right now, you're under arrest.
26:50Come on, let's go.
26:51Oh, yeah?
26:51Get out of the car.
26:52I'm going to pull you out of the car.
26:54All right.
26:55We'll see about that.
26:56Hey!
26:56Hey!
26:57Hey!
26:57Hey!
26:59Congratulations.
26:59You played around with a cop.
27:01Yeah, you wanted to arrest.
27:02I wasn't doing anything.
27:03Come on.
27:03That's all, man.
27:03Let me talk to you over here real quick.
27:05I didn't do anything.
27:08Are you okay?
27:10Did he hurt you?
27:11I'm kind.
27:12I'm just scared.
27:14He locked the doors and he wouldn't let me out.
27:16He said we were going somewhere far away.
27:18That's all right.
27:19Yeah, you're safe now.
27:20Can you tell me what happened from the beginning?
27:21Nothing happened.
27:22Shut up.
27:23Shut up.
27:24Shut up.
27:24I just, I needed a ride home.
27:26But then he started saying creepy things.
27:29And when I asked him to stop, he locked the doors.
27:31I was scared.
27:32Yeah, you did the right thing yelling for help.
27:34Oh, come on.
27:35I was just trying to make conversation.
27:37All right, that's enough of you.
27:37Man, sit down.
27:38Sit down.
27:41Thank you so much.
27:42I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't stopped us.
27:45I was just in the right place at the right time.
27:47How did you know that something was wrong?
27:49I was out here and I saw you struggling in the back seat.
27:53Something didn't seem right about it.
27:55So I had to act.
27:57It's a part of the job, but I'm just glad I was here.
27:59I was so wrong about you earlier.
28:01I'm so sorry for how I treated you.
28:03I, I judged you without even knowing you.
28:06That's okay.
28:07It's all right.
28:09What matters is that you're safe right now.
28:10How can I ever thank you?
28:12You just stay safe and take care of yourself.
28:14Well, that's thanks enough for me.
28:16I will.
28:18And I'll never forget what you did for me today.
28:20Remember, there are good people out there willing to help.
28:23No matter what color they come in.
28:25I'm sorry for my racist remarks earlier.
28:27I was so wrong.
28:28It's okay.
28:29Look, I can tell you're genuinely sorry.
28:31And it's not just a fear of what's going on.
28:33Listen, I'm gonna take this guy down to the police station.
28:35You have somebody you can call.
28:36Somebody you know.
28:37Yeah, I'll call my roommate.
28:40Thank you again for everything.
28:42Of course.
28:43I'm glad you're safe.
28:46Be careful out here.
28:48Get you.
28:49Get up.
28:50Get up.
28:51Get up.
28:52Get up.
28:53Get up.
28:53I'm telling you, I didn't do anything.
28:55You have the wrong guy.
28:57Oh, okay.
28:58So, so you just happened to randomly be hiding in a bush next to the store that got robbed?
29:04I'm telling you I'm homeless.
29:05Alright, I had a tent set up there because it was in the shade.
29:08And I bet if we searched that tent we'd find the stolen watch and probably ten other things
29:13have gone missing in the area.
29:14No ma'am, you won't.
29:15Can you please just let me out of here?
29:17Nice try.
29:18From the second I spotted you creeping around the crime scene, I knew it was you.
29:23Easiest arrest of my life.
29:24What?
29:25How could you possibly tell that I was a thief just from seeing me look around?
29:29Oh please.
29:30People like you are all the same.
29:32Looking for handouts and trying to take the easy way out rather than putting in the work
29:36to pulling yourself back up.
29:38It's honestly crazy that we haven't arrested all of you.
29:41Nothing about my life is easy.
29:43And trust me, I am more than willing to work for my way if someone would just give me the
29:48chance.
29:49Yeah, okay, you know what, enough of your excuses.
29:51You can try all you want with this sob story tactic, but it's not going to work on me.
29:56Please, I'm not trying to convince you of anything, but the truth, I really am homeless.
30:01And I really am innocent.
30:02I have no sympathy for someone who's made so many poor decisions that they ruined their life.
30:09You did this to yourself, and I'm just here to bring out justice.
30:14Justice?
30:16Who do you think you are?
30:17Do you think you're Batman or something?
30:18Oh, so we're talking back now.
30:21You know what, if I were you, I would be a little less concerned with cracking jokes
30:24and a little bit more concerned with how you're going to get a lawyer to represent you
30:29when you can't steal that from a store.
30:31Ma'am, I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to crack jokes.
30:35And please, this is all just a huge, huge misunderstanding.
30:40I promise I can explain exactly where I was and what I was doing at the time of the crime.
30:45Yeah?
30:46And guess what?
30:47I'm not going to believe you.
30:49You know why?
30:50Because I trust my instincts.
30:52And they're telling me that you're a terrible person, desperate to do anything to continue his miserable life.
30:58Now come with me.
31:00We're going to go see the chief of police and you can talk to them.
31:03We're going to go see the chief of police.
31:05Come on!
31:06Ow!
31:06All right!
31:07All right!
31:07Yes, come on!
31:16All right, so it says here you've been arrested once before at Glacier Park?
31:21Yes, I was sleeping on one of the park benches and they arrested me for it.
31:27Should have locked you up while we had the chance.
31:31I'm sorry that happened.
31:32Have you been living around the city for a long time?
31:34Unfortunately, I've been homeless for about six months now.
31:37From homeless to thief in six months.
31:40That's pretty quick.
31:41I told you I'm not a thief.
31:42That's what we're trying to establish here today.
31:45All right?
31:46Can you tell me how you found yourself next to the convenience store?
31:49Yeah, I mean, it's a bit of a long story.
31:52Um, but essentially I had a friend who I was staying with and he let me sleep on his couch.
31:57And things were going okay, but unfortunately he got sick and needed medical care.
32:04At an outside facility, so I ended up having to leave.
32:07All right, this is getting ridiculous.
32:11Okay, so you were staying at a friend's house and then where did you go after that?
32:15After I left my friends, I picked up a job at the diner downtown.
32:19I was working as a backup chef for a little while, but it was mostly just janitorial duties, you know,
32:24cleaning plates and stuff like that.
32:26Why did you leave?
32:27I didn't. Business wasn't doing too good and management wasn't able to keep paying me, so unfortunately I lost that
32:35job.
32:36Typical.
32:37Blame it all on the management. You know, you were probably slacking and got fired for being lazy.
32:42Lauren, that's enough. Please continue.
32:45Well, I couldn't go back to my buddy's place and like I said, I just lost my job, so I
32:51went to the homeless shelter.
32:52To see if there was anything I could do there to help.
32:56Another place for you to clearly leech off of.
33:01What happened at the homeless shelter? They didn't have any room for you to stay with them?
33:04I thought maybe with my experience at the diner, I could help in the homeless shelter kitchen and make some
33:09food for everybody.
33:11I did work there for a while and it felt really good to help, but funding for the shelter was
33:16extremely low and they ended up scraping the entire kitchen and housing aspects altogether.
33:22It's just a clothing donation center now.
33:24I mean, this is literally becoming a novel at this point. Can we just get to the point of where
33:28you entered the convenience store and robbed the owner?
33:31I told you, I didn't rob anyone!
33:33Okay, let's not jump to any conclusions or make any accusations that we can't verify.
33:39Sir, you've been doing a lot of moving around over the past six months. Why were you next to the
33:44store that was robbed this morning?
33:47Well, I knew the area had a lot of foot traffic with all of the shopping happening, you know? And
33:52I'm not proud of it, but I was hoping I could maybe get some donations from people walking along the
33:58street.
33:59I mean, I know I couldn't be right on the sidewalk, so I'd set myself up in the shaded area
34:03behind the store.
34:04I mean, it was a really hot day that day. I had just woken up that morning and was getting
34:10myself together when out of nowhere this officer came up to me and started accusing me of stealing.
34:15Cry me a river! You know what? I've heard enough. We already have you at the scene of the crime.
34:19You even just admitted it yourself that you were looking to make money off people in the area.
34:24Just save us all this time and admit you did it!
34:27Ma'am, I will never do that because I never did anything wrong!
34:31You're desperate. One look at you and your clothes tell me that you would do anything for a bit of
34:35cash. Honestly, I'm surprised that you were able to hide from us for so long.
34:39I've already contacted the department to seize your belongings and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before we
34:46find the stolen watch.
34:48Please, officers. I just want to go. I promise you I didn't do anything.
34:56Jamie, I want to believe you. I really do. But we're going to have to keep you here just a
35:00little longer unfortunately until we can verify what you're saying is true.
35:04I'm going to go do some checks on what you told us here today. Do you mind telling me the
35:07name of the homeless shelter you stayed at and the name of your friend that you were staying with prior
35:11to all of this?
35:12Sure, sure. It's Wings of Hope homeless shelter and my friend's name is Roger.
35:20Roger? There's got to be a thousand Rogers. What's the last name?
35:23His last name is Moran.
35:26Okay, I'm going to step outside and see what I can find out to verify this story.
35:30Meanwhile, Lauren is going to keep asking you some questions. Lauren, maybe we can get some more information about what
35:35he saw at the convenience store.
35:37Sure. I'll be back.
35:41I swear, you and your whole group of people just don't have the family values to keep yourself from ending
35:48up on the streets.
35:49And then you resort to robbing and stealing and making all of us have to pay for your lack of
35:55proper upbringing.
35:57Proper upbringing? Man, what are you saying? You have no idea what my family background is. Are you seriously saying
36:04that I'm homeless because of the color of my skin?
36:06Hey, all I'm saying is if the shoe fits, wear it. What kind of people do you see out there
36:12on the streets?
36:13All kinds of people of every race and ethnic background. And that shouldn't even matter. We're all people at the
36:19end of the day. We all deserve the respect and compassion that anyone else will receive.
36:24I call it how I see it. And right now, I see a good-for-nothing thief who is selfish
36:30and clearly desperate enough to put other people in danger to get what he wants.
36:34You and all of your friends leeching off society need to just disappear somewhere and die.
36:40Alright, that's enough. You cannot talk to this man this way. What you're saying is utterly terrible.
36:47Officer Clement, I was just trying to expose him for the criminal that he is.
36:50No, you weren't. I've had just about enough of your racist and prejudiced way of thinking. This man is just
36:55as much a human being as you and I are and deserves to be treated fairly and kindly.
37:00But what if he is the thief? Are we still treating him with kindness or whatever?
37:05It's innocent until proven otherwise, Lauren. We can take people's statements, but you have no right to be so cruel
37:10and unfair to anyone. This man is free to go.
37:13What? No, he's not. If you let him go, I'll have you arrested for impeding an investigation.
37:20Yeah, nice try. The police department on the other side of town just sent out a notice that they caught
37:24someone who had the watch in their possession. This man is innocent.
37:28What? But, no!
37:30Save it, Lauren. You're a horrible person and police officer who clearly should not be in this line of work.
37:36Don't expect to report in on Monday.
37:38You're getting me fired over this homeless guy!
37:41You're going to be fired because you lack the ability to see people as humans and treat them with the
37:46respect they deserve.
37:47I can't believe this!
37:53I'm so sorry that you've had to go through all of this.
37:56Honestly, officer, it's okay. I'm just glad it's resolved. Is it okay if I go now?
38:03Yes, you may. But before you do, I just wanted to let you know, I have a friend that owns
38:07a small restaurant and they're looking for help. I'd be happy to connect you two if you like.
38:11Really? Oh my God! Thank you! I would really appreciate that.
38:17Absolutely, of course. I'm happy to help. Thank you for your time today.
38:21Thank you. Thank you so much.
38:23Absolutely. Take care.
38:24Alright.
38:30Hey, Shannon. How are you? Man, you won't believe how this interview went today.
38:36Really? Tell me everything.
38:38It was amazing. I feel like I really connected with the team and they seem impressed with my experience. It
38:43was great.
38:44Oh my gosh. That's fantastic, Daryl. I knew you'd nail it.
38:49Thanks, babe. You know how tough it's been since leaving the Navy. But I think this is the break we've
38:54been waiting for.
38:55I'm so proud of you, Daryl. You've worked so hard for this opportunity.
39:00Your support means the world to me. I couldn't have done it without you for my son.
39:05We're in this together, Daryl. Always.
39:08Love you.
39:09I love you, too. Now, Spill. What did they say about your skills and experience?
39:14They were impressed with my leadership in the Navy. They think my skills are transferable.
39:19And they even mentioned some potential management opportunities.
39:22Oh, that's fantastic. I knew they would see how valuable you are.
39:26I'm really hopeful about this one though, Shannon. It feels like a fresh start for all of us.
39:31It is, Daryl. I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
39:35Oh, me too. Listen, the interview ended a little earlier than expected.
39:39So, would you like me to pick up a little one from daycare?
39:43That'd be great. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear the great news.
39:46Alright, I'll spring by and grab her.
39:49Thanks, babe. Drive safely and congratulations again, my love.
39:52No problem. Thanks, honey. Love you.
39:54Love you.
39:56Hello, Officer. Can I help you? What's up?
39:58Yeah, I've been watching you for a while. What are you doing around here?
40:02I was on the phone with my wife. I had a job interview. It went well. I wanted to share
40:07the good news.
40:08And now I'm about to pick up my daughter from daycare.
40:10Alright. Okay, but what are you really doing?
40:15I just told you, Officer, I was on the phone with my wife.
40:18Look, I've seen people like you hanging around neighborhoods like this.
40:23What are you trying to sell to some kids?
40:26What? Man, that's ridiculous.
40:27Hey, hey. Don't get loud with me.
40:29Now, who are you and what are you doing here? And this time, don't lie to me.
40:33Sir, I'm a Navy veteran. Just trying to take care of my family. Alright?
40:37I told you the truth. I had a job interview and now I'm about to go pick up my daughter.
40:41That's it.
40:42Look, I don't see people like you around here often. And I've been watching you from my car.
40:47And you were on the phone there for a good minute.
40:49A little too long to just tell your wife an interview went well if you ask me.
40:52Who are you really calling? A client? A supplier to determine the location of your next drop?
40:58Officer, this is just unjust, man. Frankly, it's feeling racist.
41:03Look, I demand you explain yourself.
41:05Oh, oh, you demand. You think you're in position to demand anything? Step out of the car.
41:10What? No, I ain't getting out of no car, man. I ain't do nothing to warrant this type of suspicion.
41:14And it's certainly not this type of disrespect.
41:17Yeah, well, respect is earned. And people like you haven't earned much of mine. Get out of the car.
41:21Man, it's 2024. Look at you. Still saying stuff like that.
41:24I'll say whatever I want to whoever I want whenever I want. You got that?
41:28Do you see this badge? Do you?
41:30Yeah.
41:31Well, this badge gives me the right to question and detain any individual who has given enough cause.
41:36Oh, and I give you enough cause just by being black?
41:40No. You've given me enough cause by being suspicious and being combative during a lawful questioning.
41:45You people are all the same.
41:47Combative? You people? Man, what in the world are you talking about?
41:51Your rude remarks and behavior have given me enough reason to detain you.
41:55Now step out of the car and I won't be telling you again.
41:58Man, it's harassment. I ain't stepping out of nothing. I ain't do nothing wrong.
42:00Yes, you are. You're getting out of this car.
42:02Man, come on, man. I ain't getting out of the car.
42:03No, out of the car. You're under arrest.
42:05Come on, man. I'm a vet.
42:06Hands behind your back. I don't care. I don't want to hear it.
42:09Come on, man. This assault abuse.
42:13Stand right here behind the car, please.
42:15I gotta search your car. Right there.
42:17Now you gonna search me? You gonna go over my rights right like that? That's crazy.
42:21Come on, man. You ain't gonna find nothing. You ain't got nothing.
42:25Ain't nothing. You about to just let me go. Save yourself the trouble.
42:28You know what I mean? Save yourself some paperwork.
42:31Come on, let me go, bruh. What you want, really? You need a raise? You bored?
42:35Come on, man. It's harassment, man. I ain't do nothing wrong.
42:39Go sit on the curb.
42:41Officer, listen. I'm telling you the truth, all right?
42:44You can question the office or I have my job interview.
42:47You can check to see if I served in the Navy.
42:49I've been there over 20 years and I'm not about to cause no trouble. Come on, man.
42:52Job interview? Navy? Come on, man. I've heard it all before.
42:56Look, it's a great cover-up story. I'll give you that.
42:58It's the truth. I retired from service and I've been struggling to find some work.
43:02Today's interview went really well and now I really, really need to leave to get my daughter from daycare so
43:07I can get home with my wife.
43:08Stop making up stories to play the victim. It's not gonna help your case.
43:12Look, I got a family, all right? They waiting for me. I don't want no trouble with you. I ain't
43:17trying up on the news.
43:18God, you people, you know, you people always play the victim card well and it won't work with me.
43:24Man, this is crazy. You treat me like this cause of my race? That's discrimination, bruh.
43:29Okay, yeah. Save it for the judge, all right? Maybe they'll believe your sob story.
43:32Now, wait here. I'm gonna call the police station and let them know I just apprehended an aggressive individual in
43:38possession of-
43:39What? That's crazy. Who gonna believe you?
43:42It's your word against mine. And trust me, they'll believe what I say way more than a sorry excuse you
43:48come up with.
43:49I suggest you rehearse a better story than this weak Navy interview schtick you prepared.
43:54All right, we're going downtown. You have the right to remain silent and whatever.
43:59Hey, hey! What on earth are you doing? Why is my husband in handcuffs?
44:03Yeah, baby.
44:04Ma'am, I don't know who you are, but you need to step away. This is an active arrest.
44:09Yeah, an active arrest of my husband without cause. Get your handcuffs off him.
44:14You're his wife? Wow, this story just gets crazier and crazier.
44:18Nice try, but this isn't gonna work on me. Move along, ma'am. Nothing here concerns you.
44:23My husband being arrested and I demand to know why.
44:26Suspicious behavior. That's all you need to know.
44:29No, officer. This is unlawful and you need to stop immediately.
44:33Your husband's been causing trouble in this neighborhood.
44:36What's the real reason?
44:37Again, none of your business, lady. Now step back.
44:41Officer, I'm a federal prosecutor and I know the law very well.
44:44You have no right to arrest my husband without a valid cause.
44:46You're a prosecutor. You're bluffing.
44:49I assure you I'm not. Now what is the charge?
44:52Um, suspicious dealing or something.
44:56And what evidence do you have for that?
45:00I... Well, I, I...
45:02Officer, I strongly advise you to reconsider your actions.
45:05What you're doing is a violation of my husband's rights.
45:08Look, I don't care who you are. I'm doing these streets a favor and promoting justice.
45:12He's going in. We can both tell our stories, but something tells me friends at the station are gonna side
45:18with me.
45:18So I wouldn't get your hopes up.
45:20Well, officer, perhaps you'll care about this. We were on the phone when you first approached the car and I
45:25overheard the entire interaction.
45:27Oh, so what? That doesn't change anything.
45:29Oh, but it does. My phone's been recording the entire time. Everything you've said is on record.
45:35That...
45:38That doesn't prove anything.
45:39It proves your prejudice and racism, officer. Now, are you gonna release my husband or do I need to escalate
45:46this further?
45:47Whatever. Just get out of here.
45:50No, we're not done. Expect to hear from your superiors tomorrow because we're filing an incident report against you.
45:55What? I let him go. Hello? You can't file a report against me for doing my job.
46:00We can. We can file one for your deplorable behavior.
46:03This is ridiculous. You know, I can't believe you people.
46:10Babe, thank you.
46:12Gosh, I'm so sorry that happened, babe.
46:15It's alright, honey. Look, I'm just glad we shared locations and you were able to find me.
46:20So stupid.
46:22Listen, you know I got you.
46:25Oh. Let's go get our daughter, yeah?
46:27Yeah.
