An Orange County sheriff’s deputy detained a man for more than 12 minutes because he was video recording her and another deputy making an arrest at a gas station.I’m sure OCSO would love to hear from you. They can be reached at (407) 254-7000.
The deputy pretended she was only looking out for the best interest of the suspect, who was getting arrested for unknown reasons.
The citizen told her he was also looking out for the suspect’s best interest, ensuring he doesn’t wind up the victim of police abuse.
Michael Schmidt said in his Youtube description that the incident took place two days after Kern County sheriff’s deputies beat David Silva to death, only to confiscate cell phone cameras from witnesses who had recorded the beating. Read More…
Another good example on how poorly trained the Orange County Sheriff is on civil rights and Terry stops. My first comment was "I don't consent to contact" It should have been over then. There was zero reasonable suspicion and no articulable probable cause, yet she still detained me illegally for over 15 minutes.
Maybe a review of this link would be in order.

Just 2 days before this incident David Silva of Bakersfield was brutally beaten to death by a cadre of police and sheriff's deputies in California. The O.C. Sheriff's have a recent history of shooting unarmed people and they want to know why I want to exercise my fundamental rights to film?
COMMENT
Wow, this should be a video on, “What not to do, during a Terry Stop.” First of all, do not film from the driver’s seat of a motor vehicle. Being behind the wheel, allows a peace officer (Law Enforcer) to demand proof of a valid “Driver License” to determine if the driver, can legally operate a motor vehicle, in doing so they can determine wants, warrants and driver status. If the stop (Interaction) was made from the passenger seat or outside the vehicle, the Terry Stop limitations would have applied. The “Demand” for ID could have been legally declined. The deputy, would NOT be able to articulate how and why the detention was committed and then it becomes an unlawful detention. The right to remain silent is just that, invoke it.
Deputy: Do you have any weapons or illegal drugs in the car?
You: Deputy _______, I am invoking my right to be silent(is sufficient) and will not speak with you any further.
Okay, now you have invoked, now shut up. DONT interact, say NOTHING. If it de-escalates, great, then obtain a name and ID number NOT a BADGE number. Agencies of any real size DO NOT USE BADGE NUMBERS to track employees, the department ID# is used. STOP ASKING FOR BADGE NUMBERS.
You: Deputy, I am requesting a contact card with your name and ID#.
Rock on guys, 25+career of being a deputy and hold people accountable is honorable and any peace officer that worth his or her salt, knows you should always do the right and legal thing and conduct yourself as if being recorded anytime of day or night.
I love Cop Block, lies and wrong doing live in darkness, you guys bring light and it scares many. It also gives us who honor our oaths, an opportunity to show the world, we still exist.
NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE
Always tell the officer you are remaining silent and don’t fall for the snide remark, underhanded insults and coercion tactics they use to try to get you to implicate yourself. Your words are ammunition for their weapons so don’t give them any.
