First Amendment auditors visited the Doral Government Center and police department to test public access and recording rights. The visit involved disputes over ID requirements, the filing of public records requests, and a confrontation regarding a past police shooting, all while highlighting the excessive deployment of police resources in response to peaceful filming.
Yeah, I know, but that's a violation of my rights and I don't have an ID and I need to conduct business upstairs.
That's unconstitutional, man.
Whoa, what is this, bro?
Yo, why are they calling you guys for?
Yeah, go speak to the person that called you, bro.
Can you do me a favor, sir?
Can you keep your hands out of your pockets for my safety, bro?
Damn, bro, you got some babysitters here, man.
You guys got nothing better to do, bro?
For real, I don't mean to be rude.
You guys got nothing better to do than to follow us around?
No, don't. Are you filming me?
Yo, excuse me. Relax.
Yo, yo, what's wrong with you?
Well, you're a public employee. Relax.
Yeah, I have a right to record you. I have a right to record you.
We got seven, bro?
Look at this, guys.
Let's go live, bro.
So we can see how much of a joke Doral Police Department is.
What's up, everybody? Back at it here.
At Doral, Florida.
Which is Miami, Florida.
Beautiful Doral.
It's a nice city.
Pretty wealthy city.
And I'm out with Personality Check Audits.
Raggle Monkey.
And we're gonna peacefully exercise our First Amendment right, guys.
To record in public.
And see if our rights are respected today.
By the city of Doral Government Center, guys.
Let's check it out, shall we?
It's nice and refreshing in here.
Now, I really do wonder if they treat everybody the same way they treat us in this public building.
I mean, for example, check out how much of a hassle and how difficult it was with this receptionist.
How much of a hard time she gave us just to come in this building and walk upstairs where the public conducts business at.
Check this out.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Yeah, we're trying to get upstairs.
IDs?
Why do we need any IDs to go upstairs?
I don't have ID.
I don't have ID, man.
So, we gotta have a government ID to go upstairs to conduct service with our...
I'm sorry, go ahead, go ahead.
I wanna see this real quick.
Miami-Dade County with a plastic barrier.
Thank you so much.
That is thanks to all of the applications to the second floor.
So, how's this gonna work?
I don't have ID.
I mean, I just wanna go upstairs.
I need to conduct business upstairs.
Yeah, it's a public building, ma'am.
We don't need to show ID for that.
I mean, that'll be a violation of my Fourth Amendment right.
Yeah.
Ma'am, we don't have ID.
Yeah.
Upstairs is public too.
Yeah, I know, but that's a violation of my rights and I don't have an ID and I need to conduct business upstairs.
That's unconstitutional, ma'am.
Yeah.
Upstairs is public too.
Yeah, but you're wrong on that.
So, we can't go upstairs?
I don't have ID with me.
Yeah.
I need to file public records upstairs?
Yeah, that's fine.
I'll give you my name.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Sigh.
Appreciate it.
Yeah.
She don't know any better.
She should know.
They're training you wrong though.
Just saying.
Yeah.
You're being nice though.
I appreciate your attitude.
What a mission.
I'm only going to get my first name.
You're a public employee.
You might want to, but if you don't want us, you want us to go to Hardway.
I am just a receptionist.
You're not just a receptionist.
You are THE receptionist.
Yeah.
Come on.
You are THE receptionist.
Um, here you go.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
No, don't.
Are you filming me?
Yo, excuse me.
Relax.
Yo, yo, what's wrong with you?
Well, you're a public employee.
Relax.
Yes, yes, I don't want to.
Yeah, I have a right to record you.
I have a right to record you.
All right.
Thank you.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
Relax, lady.
Chill.
Yo.
Joey.
You can take my picture.
I don't mind that.
Yo, who is that lady?
That lady was rude, bro.
Jesus.
All right, thank you.
I want to cooperate.
Muchas gracias, señoritas.
¿Cómo se llama?
I'm going to give you a name.
All right, guys.
She doesn't want to give her name.
We're receptionists.
Thank you.
Receptionist?
Judy.
You like Judy?
Another one doesn't want to give her name.
She's ashamed.
Pedro?
Yeah.
So, what's your real name, ma'am?
What's your real name?
I mean, I want to know who I'm interacting with.
Do you want to show me your ID?
I don't have ID.
I told you that.
I don't carry ID unless I'm driving.
Mrs. Pedro.
I'm waiting on my sticker.
Yeah, we're waiting.
We're together.
Right?
Paparazzi for him.
Oh, that's so cool.
For him.
Thank God I did my makeup today.
It looks good.
Beautiful.
Back to the past.
Okay.
I'm so sorry.
I didn't even ask you guys.
Do you have a permit with the city?
Like, what part of the city are you going to?
No, I just got to conduct business upstairs.
That's it.
Right.
We have, like, two floors.
So, I just try.
Like, we just normally give a sticky on, like...
Like water department or something like that.
Yeah.
I'm going to go to human resources to request your paycheck.
Yeah.
Oh, perfect.
You can know when I make an hour.
Yeah, I don't really...
Let's go to a club together.
Yeah.
We could...
We know...
We can find out exactly your salary, everything.
That's what we're...
That's what we're going to do right now.
You gave him my picture.
Did you get me a sticker yet or do I need a sticker?
I gave it to you already.
No, we all look like you gave him one.
Oh, no.
I'm doing yours because I just took your picture.
Oh.
Yeah, you gave him one.
Great.
By the way, we don't look alike.
You're too nice for this job.
Thank you, sir.
You'd be like Mother Teresa.
If I was to position you in the community, you'd be like Mother Teresa.
Joe.
Joe Blow.
You got it?
Joe Blow.
Did you put my last name on there too?
Blow?
Thank you.
Yeah.
No problemo.
Muchas gracias.
I should have told her to put the Blow, my last name.
Hey, Raul was just recording there.
She's nice, but she's fake.
Yeah, I know.
She's a fake, bro.
No ----.
I already know that.
So, this seems to be empty right now.
This is Solution Center.
So, this is where you signed.
How you doing?
I love you.
Good, good, good.
I like the smile.
Awesome.
That's what we're looking for.
Smiles.
More smiles.
Awesome.
Awesome, awesome.
Cool, cool.
This is a code compliance planning zone.
Nah, it just feels very welcoming.
Especially when the public walks in for the first time like me.
Awesome.
I've been to a lot of cities.
I'm going to say so far, number one city in smiles is right here.
Yep.
So far.
Your smile, your energy is boosting up to another level.
Thank you, man.
I appreciate it.
What's her name?
Hi.
I need help.
I want to file a public records request.
I want to file it.
Just turn it in.
Submit it.
Of course.
We can do it in person.
Yeah.
Thank you, Virginia.
Cool.
No, but yeah, but I can file a public records to any public employee.
I can just write it down and submit it to you guys.
And you guys.
Yeah, that's it.
To any public employee on duty.
Yeah, that's fine.
That's fine.
Okay.
I need to, I need her name, her full name.
Cause I want to file a public records request on her.
Of her first and last name disciplinary file.
All that.
I want to file it on her.
Yeah, I know, but I don't know her name.
She doesn't want to give me her name.
Whoa.
What is this, bro?
Yo, why are they calling you guys for?
Yeah.
Go speak to the person that called you, bro.
So this is her name right here.
Okay, cool.
Awesome.
Yeah, that's fine.
Who do you see downstairs?
First floor.
Connie Diaz.
You know where that's at?
All right, cool, cool, cool.
Yeah, I know that, but I mean.
You can't.
I just want to submit it.
That's it.
I just want to write it down and submit it.
You too, though.
You do have the authority also to take my public records.
Any public employee that's on duty.
I know, but listen, man, there's a Florida state.
Listen to me for a second.
There's a Florida state statute 119.
All I got to do is submit it to any public employee.
You guys submit it to the PIO, which is a public information officer.
That's it.
So I can write it down simply and turn it into you and you give me a copy.
That's it.
So I don't know why I got to go downstairs and do all that for.
I can just turn it into you.
Can I get a piece of paper and I'll write it down?
Cool.
What's your name?
Cool, cool.
Nice to meet you.
So they called men with guns over here because we have video cameras.
That is ******* crazy, bro.
Wow.
All right.
So I'm going to write this real quick.
Just turn it into you and we're good to go.
Yeah.
Make sure you get all their names, bro.
Because we're going to request that.
Do they call the cops on everybody that comes up here for service?
Absolutely ridiculous.
------- waste of taxpayers' money.
All right, what's your name again?
So this is my email.
No.
Email is okay.
That's it.
I do everything through email.
Can I get a copy of this?
And that's it.
We're good to go.
Thank you.
What's your name?
Thank you for being professional.
What's your name?
What was that?
All right, cool.
It's pretty...
You guys like just bum-rushed.
Trying to intimidate us?
It's not going to happen, bro.
Not today, guys.
Yeah, bro.
We just came to file our request and we're out.
But I don't know why they called you guys.
I know why they called you.
I know why they called you because we got cameras.
That's it.
I think it's pretty crazy.
Four cops.
Where's the other guy?
He left?
Oh, that's right.
Right?
All right.
So we're just about to be getting this over here.
Almost done, bro.
So we got this guy over here.
Can you do me a favor, sir?
Can you keep your hands out of your pockets for my safety, bro?
No?
For my safety?
Yeah, you got it.
Muchas gracias, señora.
Gracias.
Appreciate that, bro.
Appreciate that, man.
You know, I just get a little paranoid.
You guys stick your hands in your pockets and stuff.
Cool?
All right.
Was that your supervisor on the phone?
No.
I was following the law.
Nah, we're good.
You guys are acting okay, so I don't really need a supervisor.
As long as you guys keep acting like this, we're good.
All right, so what do you want to do?
You want to go upstairs or what?
Yeah, I'm waiting for that can number, bro.
Your boy went to get the number?
Yeah, yeah, I'm not.
I want to go upstairs first, bro.
Yeah, I'm just waiting.
Is he going to come back up or what?
Because I want to go check out upstairs.
I've never been up there real quick.
That's fine.
I mean, it's up to him.
I'm going upstairs, though.
But I really need that number, though.
All right, cool, cool.
You think they know?
You don't know her name?
Yeah, a female officer from this department hacked in his account, bro.
And tried to delete it.
It's one of the main reasons why we're in this city.
Right now, so.
Appreciate that, guys.
Awesome.
All right, let me just check upstairs.
And then I guess that's it.
There's nothing else up here in this building?
Check.
I'm going to check out upstairs, bro.
Real quick.
Before we leave.
Yeah, this department hacked into this man's account, bro.
And they tried to delete his YouTube.
His ******* Instagram.
Everything, dude.
They deleted his Instagram.
This was like a year ago, right?
More?
Oh, my God.
Our tax dollars at work.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, this ----'s.
I mean, I don't know if they're still open or not, but.
It just seems to be.
Damn.
Our tax dollars at work, bro.
****.
I don't need babysitters or escorts, bro.
I'm a big.
I'm a big boy, bro.
That's crazy.
Damn, bro.
You got some babysitters here, man.
You got nothing better.
You guys got nothing better to do, bro.
For real.
I don't mean to be rude.
You guys got nothing better to do than to follow us around.
We get a call, but you got to follow us around.
This is pretty.
I think it's pretty pathetic, bro.
I think it's pretty damn pathetic, dude.
Like you guys stay to us, right?
We got nothing better to do than to record.
They always say that ---- to us all the time, right?
Now, look at this.
Crazy.
My shoes just got stuck.
The mayor's office is over there.
Let me get one of those cards.
Wait up.
I'm just going to take one of those cards real quick.
Yeah, I'll just take this one.
No, seriously.
I don't mean to be rude.
You guys need to do something productive, man.
Come on.
I filed the public records on the receptionist.
Yeah, I got her.
I got her name right here.
Since she didn't want to give her name, she wanted to be rude as hell.
Hey.
Yeah.
And what was I going to say?
Who caught the cops on us, man?
Do you know who caught the cops on us?
There they go again.
I'm going to tell you boys from right now, bro.
I'm not leaving this building until you guys leave.
When you guys leave, we'll leave.
Because I think this is pretty ridiculous that they caught you guys.
Because.
Crazy.
So, I'm going to sit here.
And wait till you guys leave, bro.
You got seven, bro?
Look at this, guys.
Let's go live, bro.
So, we can see how much of a joke Doral Police Department is.
Absolutely ridiculous, dude.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven of you guys.
For what?
Why you guys are here for?
For what, though?
Disturbance of how we work.
What's your name?
Nice to meet you, bro.
Cool.
Nice to meet you, bro.
Cool.
I like your attitude, bro.
You're good, bro.
But, damn, bro.
They call all these.
Listen.
The way that it comes out on.
Like, sometimes.
For real?
I mean, do they call the cops on everybody that comes in here?
Why us?
We were cool.
I know why.
Because we have this.
That's why they called you guys.
I know.
I appreciate your attitude, bro.
When you guys are cool, bro.
We give you the same respect back.
We're not trying to antagonize anybody.
No.
You guys do what you want.
I appreciate it, bro.
I appreciate your attitude, bro.
A lot of people see this and they're going to.
I like your approach.
It's about professionalism and you guys.
You know what I mean?
We talked to him upstairs.
What?
Just let him know that if you guys want to do the public.
The clerk was going to be here or whatever.
We already did it.
Yeah, we already did it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You usually send a ton in email.
Yeah, we're good.
We came here.
All right.
Right.
You're the public information officer.
Nice to meet you.
Awesome.
Yeah, yeah, we're good.
We're good.
Thank you.
Already.
I already turned in my public records to the other lady.
Yeah.
I don't know if you got it yet.
It was on.
It was on this girl.
I think I got it.
No, no, no.
It was.
I erased my Instagram.
I can't tell you that part.
I think she gave me the.
I mean.
Yeah.
This is it right here.
It's online.
You said, you know.
It's all online.
Yeah.
This is the copy.
They gave me a copy.
So, I don't know if you got it yet.
Yeah.
That's it.
My email is.
It was right there.
So, you can just email it to me.
Thank you.
Really?
I already got it.
This is the copy.
All right.
Thank you.
All right.
You know what?
It's not enough.
It's never enough.
It's never enough, man.
The last lady.
The last.
She answered.
She was.
She's a city attorney for Hialeah.
She's making 197.
Yeah.
Crazy.
So, you're the sergeant?
I'm sorry?
You're the sergeant?
Yes.
Yeah.
I can tell.
And what about you?
I'm the LT.
Oh, cool, bro.
Awesome.
Nice to meet you.
He's the chief.
Chief Castillo.
He's not really.
He came from another department?
Yeah.
From Miami Springs.
Miami Springs.
I think they're going to.
Oh, they're going to take over Virginia Dulles.
Way over my face.
Yeah.
But I don't know how these guys get those ping pong positions.
Jesus.
That ---- doesn't make any sense to me.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Excuse me.
LT, can you do me a favor, please, for my safety?
Can you keep your hands out of your pockets for me, please?
Appreciate that.
No, for my safety.
No, seriously.
Seriously.
I get paranoid.
No, for real.
But still.
I mean, come on.
Bad experiences.
You know?
Especially with you guys.
No, no.
It's not with us.
It's with other people.
With other people.
Nah, you guys seem alright.
You guys seem alright, bro.
You guys seem alright.
You guys do that to us all the time, you know?
Yeah.
Let me go check this out over here, guys.
Woo!
We got the whole department for us over here, bro.
Alright, yo.
Damn!
Look at this, bro.
That's crazy.
The Doral Police Department.
Look at this.
Woo!
Who's Tahoe is this?
You guys can get back to work now.
Awesome.
Take it easy, man.
Yeah.
Alright.
10-8.
Oh, look how many cops, bro.
Yo, are you serious, dude?
Yo, that's bananas.
Ginger pigs.
Jeez.
Ginger pigs.
Tactical response team, boy.
Right?
Yeah, they were outside.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
Oh, I looked behind me, upstairs, and they were all right there.
I was like, yo, what the ****?
Crazy, man.
How many patrol cars are working right now?
Like, over 10, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
Yeah, I know.
Because there was like 10 of you guys here, bro.
A lot.
It was like 7 vehicles I counted.
There was.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, please, hey.
Come on, man.
Just keep your hands where I can see them, sir.
Just keep your hands where I can see them.
For my safety.
Hey.
They don't max you out?
Come on, man.
I'm not there yet, man.
Come on, man.
I'm not maxed out yet.
You're too happy to be not maxed out already.
You know what?
Yeah.
You know what?
Enjoy life.
How long you been in the force?
LT, I got one, one.
No, no, no.
Let me answer two questions.
Yeah, this is a big one.
This is a big one.
Okay, this is a bonus one.
This is a big one.
There was one police officer who opened fire in one of the clubs in downtown Doral.
Four civilians were hit, and one suspect was deceased.
Okay?
The victim was also deceased.
But the point is that most of the shell casings that were found belonged to the police officer.
He magged them.
He unloaded his magazine.
They only found nine bullets.
They only found five shells that belonged to the suspect.
The rest of the shells belonged to the police officer.
So statistically, one of the civilians that was hit was hit by a Doral police officer.
I don't know anything about that report, what rounds were inside of the victim, the suspect.
I couldn't tell you, my friend.
I could not tell you.
But you know what?
As for the public records, again, I wasn't involved there.
That night, I was off.
I was at my house.
Thank God.
I'm almost positive that one of the bullets that hit the civilian came from the police officer.
But that one murdered the civilian, right?
I have the body count footage.
I'll repost it so you guys understand what I'm talking about.
Listen.
I couldn't tell you, my friend.
I wasn't there.
It wasn't me.
I understand that the guy was intoxicated and he had a firearm.
But when your four civilians got shot, the guy is begging for money on GoFundMe.
At least one of the bullets came from the officer.
It's a horrific scene.
It was.
It was tragic all the way around.
It was a no-win situation.
When did this happen?
I have the body count footage.
About a year and a half ago.
Three years ago.
Oh, ----.
The guy was intoxicated.
I guess he pulled out a firearm on the manager.
The manager was also shot in the hand.
Damn.
Was that in the red?
Yeah, it was right here.
It was nearby.
No, it's the wind.
You know, the wind.
Yeah.
Look at it right there.
I got a ghost.
Thank you, my friend.
Compared to the rest of the stuff you got with me.
Thank you.
I appreciate it, guys.
I appreciate it.
And, again, anything that we can basically do for you guys.
I mean, we're here.
I just appreciate you guys respected our rights today.
And you were professional.
And, you know, even though I think it was worth.
It wasn't worth calling you guys here.
Anybody here for this.
Yeah.
But.
It was one crazy cop.
You know, things happen.
I think he got shot in the training.
Remember that cop that he got shot in?
Well, that cop was involved in a shooting.
He chased somebody out of jurisdiction.
And he shot some kid in the neck.
And the kid survived.
And he chased him into ******* Broward.
And he didn't even call the chase.
This guy has all the body cams and ---- for that.
This guy's the beast master.
This guy's the master of body cams, bro.
Hey, y'all be safe, man.
We're out of here, bro.
Take it easy, man.
Oh, my bad.
All right, guys.
We gotta go, man.
I gotta.
Yeah.
Yeah, I gotta.
Hold on.
For real?
That's her?
Is that her, Raggle?
That's her?
That's her, bro, huh?
That's the one that hacked your computer?
Wow, bro.
Of course she knows who he is.
She's the one that hacked his freaking account, bro.
We're out of here, guys.
Rest in peace, Jay.
