POLICE lie to Uber Driver/Attorney

In this video, an officer from Wilmington Police Department and a sheriff from the New Hanover Country Sheriffs Department tell me that it's illegal to record the police and they will take me to jail for doing so. What they didn't know at the time, is that I'm a local attorney, and was ready to call them out on their lies.

Watch how the interaction plays out. If you have any question, leave a comment!

When they realized he was a real attorney, they treated him totally different.

"And an uber driver?" The pure snobbishness in this guy's voice infuriates me.

How am I supposed to feel safe around the police *if they will blatantly lie to my face like this???*

[Onlinerando]

I LOVED when the cop says, “an attorney and an Uber driver?” And then feels so stupid when asked if he wants to see the bar card that he refuses to turn to look at the card.

Passenger left a 1-star rating and the review: "Terrible getaway driver."

“Get out of the car”
“Why?”
“You’re being a jerk”
“Bring the K9”
?

This video made me do a little research. Apparently in my state, Arizona, in 2022 they made a law that if you are within 8' you cannot record police officer but luckily the Federal Court stopped the law from going into effect!

How is it that cops STILL don't know that people are allowed to film them. Honestly it's crazy

[majorlanguid]

That cop said “you’re being a jerk” like being a jerk was illegal.

"I'm an attorney"

Officer:
Current Objective: Survive.

No WAY the second officer doubled down on the lie of this "new law" AFTER you said you were an attorney. Are they stupid, or just aggressive as hell?

[hayleyt.]

It is disgusting how they wont speak to you like a normal human until you reveal yourself as an attorney. That last dude said “Thought you look familiar” what a joke

[antares]

Uber driver: I'm an attorney
Police officer: *Slowly walks away and never shows up*

[giantsdms]

Their attitude towards him completely changed once he said he was an attorney

[nathansixteen]

It’s DISGUSTING how they treat you differently once you tell them you’re an attorney.

[sunshizzleyou]

“Can you understand my frustration” was the absolute smartest thing he could have said.

It changed the tense dynamic and brought in an angle of empathy/vulnerability here immediately checking the unnecessary aggression from the officer

"I'm an attorney"
Officer: "alright ima head out."

When you lie to a cop, you're in trouble.
When a cop lies to you, business as usual.

[Qaor]

The fact that the guy with the attitude is the Sargent... tells you everything you need to know about this police force.
That is someone who's expected to set an example for younger officers... and he proceeds to try and intimidate someone by telling them to do something they don't need to, and when he's properly corrected, gets butt hurt and starts threats?!
People like this should NOT have badges or any positions of authority. They clearly can't handle it.

[TheEnder]

That first officer set my blood to boiling. The blatant lies.... the threats.... This man did the right thing. He must have been terrified. Poor guy.
