This video is brought to you by Kat Lott, out of it. I was May 14th, 2009. Me and my colleagues were driving in Meridian to lunch with some other friends. We were in the midst of filming what we called a near real-time documentary. I'm off from the county line. We got pulled over by James Dacken to the Jones County Sheriff's Department. He's sending an issue in the traffic stop because he was unfamiliar with the paper license plate tag, a tip tag that I had on the RV because it was recently purchased. I heard the laws are understanding. The issue is just right in the tag song, we're clear and let us go. But it's seen like an efficient expedition. I exited the vehicle with a video camera to which we had a short discussion about. He then abandoned the issue and struck me to stand at the rear of his vehicle. He's charged with disorderly conduct for filling a police officer in court today. And they're trying to say that he disobeyed the orders, which is tactitious. I was just standing there waiting to have our license plates checked and be on the way. But when the other officer Abraham McKenzie arrived, he said, get the camera on my face, which I took it off from pointing his direction, but I was never close enough to him to be in his face. And he told me to turn it off. I said, no. And then he attacked me and said, then you're going to jail. Why not just drop it? Why, why, why show it for court? Why not just pay the fine? And there it goes. Well, I've already paid the fine, actually. I'm allegedly innocent until guilty, but the state has already taken my money, put me in a cage, taken my fingerprints, my photograph, and stripped search me. So I'm in the means of damage control. I'd like my money back. I'd like my name cleared of this charge. And I would like the officers to be held accountable for their actions. A lot of them broke the laws on the side of the rule that day and not us. While I was controlling the interstate northbound, I noticed the RV. I went up to the RV, approached the RV and asked Mr. Mertz to step out. At that time he came up with a camera. What other unusual things were going on at the side right other than walking the doors? Well, not on them walking the doors, the camera. The camera is what caught my attention on. I can tell what it was or, you know, it's something I never see on the side of the driver's doctor's oil. What did my family have to do with the traffic stop? It was just a distraction. I didn't know if it was a weapon or a rainy calendar device. Did it any time you were in the traffic stop or our conversation with you ever asked me if my camera was a weapon? Or in fact, it was a camera? No, I'm asked Mr. Mertz if he would have just been at the rear of my patrol unit. Which he did do with the camera's aim. By the time I was standing at the door to waiting on the driver to get his information, Mr. Mertz walked forward with the video camera. I asked him to step back and he said he wanted to get out of here. And I asked if he would have just stepped back to the back of the patrol unit. Mertz, what is the point of this? What is the point of this? Sure, it was a raid for this only kind of a fast complied by not putting the camera down, which was remaining. When did you fill out this form? The 14th of May. The day I was arrested? Yes. Later, you filled out an after-day statement claiming for refusing to put up the video camera. Yes. Which was remanded. Which you then, among you that are later date, why are you back and forth? Don't understand your course much, I say. If I was seeing how it was clearly a failure to comply with orders, and that's what I was arrested for. Then why, right now, putting on a video camera, several hours later? Out the further the relaxing and putting everything into place, I went back to justice court and I remanded that charge. And it still disorderly happened, but I remanded the charge from putting the camera down to fail to stay back at the back of my vehicle. On my arrival on the scene, I got out and I noticed a very unusual something I never experienced before on all sorts of career. I had a young man standing with the back of the front of his vehicle and I was a man that had a camera in his hand. Which is here to be video taken. So I got out of my vehicle and throughout training, knowing how the situation was going to turn into danger, so it could actually be any type of destruction area that was out. I went over and actually put the camera down. During that encounter, did you stay turned the camera off and then there was a reply to no one, and did you wish you replied that you were going to jail? Yes. You didn't reply that? Yes. What did you mean by that? I don't want to say it. I mean, I was going to jail the person who was going to go to jail. So you made that statement after Officer Akkens informed you of the laws that were broken. What point did you relay the message to Officer Akkens and what means to have him to start getting arrested in the manner that the rival? It was the point when Depp and McKenzie was oblique walking up to you at the same time as the approach to both of you guys when he was walking up to you. Did you know why Officer Akkens was placing the hands? I guess because you failed to put the camera down. By your knowledge, I hadn't broken any law. What's up? So why would you place the handcuffs to take my hand? For the safety of her purposes, for my fellow officer, myself, and anybody else to some extent. So your intention of arriving at scene with the place everybody in handcuffs? No, sir, to get the situation secure fully, it's related to the common problem. What did you tell me to turn off? Did you recall you told me to turn off? The camera. Is that a lost or a request? Yes, it is a lost or a request to... Yes, if I feel like calling my fellow Depp or myself and anybody else is in danger, it's just your reason. Why did you feel you were in danger? Because there's a minute thing that could be a distractionary advice just to get his attention on you for something to happen to him. And any evidence of there being in my situation before you're back on scene yesterday, please? No. Upon realizing that the footage was no longer on Christina, the camera, we immediately put that out through some friends that follow our website. So which one commented that if we don't use the camera, there is a recovery software that it can be recovered by... We then drove three hours or so to Memphis, Tennessee, where our friend, William Pearson, spent a couple hours retrieving the footage. There are evidence that I was arrested for filming. You didn't see Officer Aggins timing it at the same time with Mackenzie. She came up and talked about arresting me for a certainly conduct or moving. Abraham Officer Mackenzie was on a path from when I feel in the video to engage Officer Aggins. At which time he told me to get that out of my face, which I turned it, and he said, shut it off. And then at that time he directed his attention towards me. And if you've seen on the video, you made a video on it from me at that point, which to me shows that he had no prior record because she was going on the scene. He didn't get instructions from Officer Aggins to arrest me or about being disorderly or any other violation. He nearly didn't like my answer of no at that same time, which linked those together and watched him side by side with the dashboard camera watch earlier. You'll hear it at the same time I'm arrested. Officer Aggins is on the phone with somebody. So he has the ability to instruct somebody else about walls that violated and to arrest me. And like I had shown when Officer Mackenzie was on the stand, he couldn't pause at the moment even on the dashboard cam that stated when he received those instructions and when he decided the company and Akka decided to arrest me. To me, it's clear as day, I was arrested for an Akka that's perfectly legal in this state. And with that, I have a question. We just finished my trial for disorderly conduct. It turns out we had a hung jury for not guiltys to guilties. And now the burden is on the DA to decide if and when he wants to charge me or retry me. He didn't state that there is a statute of limitations or how long it would take or when you would make this decision. Hopefully I can finally get some closure at some point. We're around 19 months here and no accountability. So thanks.
