Ponce Inlet police chief made an attempt to interpret law and got it totally Wrong. 
He’s originally from Atlanta so I suspect he is guided by the lieutenant in this matter.
Full bwc of incident that sparked this request. https://youtu.be/dTUFyMeZaT8

Tyrants at it again
Assholes like this need to be fired.
Impressive, love the calm and assrtive demeanor, boss mode 👊
U weren’t being an asshole .. but that “Chief†is definitely an asshole
Then how do news stations obtain copies of a body cam recording?
We can't treat our clients like this.
We would never eat again.
We're forced to do business with these PsOS at gunpoint, though.
This won't end well for these tyrants.
So can I just say well I read the law different Officer. Sorry, but you can always file a complaint against me that I will ignore.
More ignorant power hungry THUGS ,And reasons why GOOD COPS GET KILLED ,, , These cops had BAD PARENTS ,, OR THERE PARENTS ARE ASHAMED OF THESE ASS HOLES
Dirty cops sue the dumb pig's very arrogant pieces of garbage! Like I said 6 months of training is just not enough!!!
My blood boils when I see the flippant , snarky attitudes of cops when people mention filing complaints. That is an issue we as a country need to address in police reform.
Love how your calm sarcastic/critical demeanor towards this so-called "chief", just like the public records laws he doesn't comprehend, go right over his head. Great job JMA !!!
Blonde might be a nice piece if she didn't work for the government.
I'm surprised the chief knew how to read.
What a disgusting persones. His lifes must be relly bed. I bet that his wife is the biggest Karen in the state that treats him like an idiot. I believe his family is so sad. How can be possible that those guys become police officers?? 🤔
———–CRIMINALS————Outstanding.
At about 1:05 the bald guy with glasses did the covert birdy to you.
Most police can’t read above a 2nd grade level.
Its disturbing that the chief would go to such lengths to deny you access when their was nothing really there Its a goto stance because they cant bear to be transparent
That was weak, the chiefs ego wouldn't allow him to apologize and give James the thumb drive, so he sends sends his subordinate out to do it.
Why is it called a "Public Record" Request then???
Perhaps that cop needs to go through legal training again. Perhaps a few more records request need to be made on camera to that chief to make sure they learned
Great work please show the vid of the chief eating crow when he apologized for not knowing the law. Keep up the good work.
Disgusting blue line trash
When you look in the dictionary under "unaccountable" you see this police chief's picture. Thanks to police unions, qualified immunity, and politically powerful needing their armed Palace Guard goons to protect them, this is what plagues the ordinary citizen.
Police officers are not allowed to interpret law.
I appreciate your hard work.
Who the hell is hiring these incompetent costumed cowards???
After almost 5 years of watching law enforcement videos of misconduct at least 10 hours a day (plus ads so I can pay my soldiers documenting the behavior),I have concluded the process of becoming chief requires stupidity and corruption and arrogance.
There is no escaping that fact.
It is the reason the whole of America is saturated with these psychotic narcissists at the top of ladder.
The core of every human desiring to be a badge is to oppress and once they have the power to violate, the happier they are.
You know when a human has the right heart to be a badge after succeeding in getting the badge….they quit.
If we had a country of those humans actually in charge, American law enforcement would be worthy.
Instead the police unions shove these evil jackboot tyrants down our throats thinking so what.
It is like they are oblivious to what is coming.
I am beyond ready to see the people every city every town burn the precinct to the ground in one fell swoop.
What part of 330 million people versus 900,000 badges do they not get? They actually think the weapons we supply them will protect them from us.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
The checks are a huge part of the balance in government. Need more people doing these "checks".
Excellent work
JMA!! You always do such a great job. The look on their faces need to be focused on. They should be focused on
Any cop that must or stops his camera must be fired Immediately or plays music !
Ever cop said your mor then welcomed 2 do it because we can do any we are above â¬†ï¸ the laws ! We the cops can be as inhuman as we want our government backs us .!
I have noticed that being a cop is the only I mean only profession that doesn’t matter if you smart or dumb as a rock as long you have ears and ask no questions you fit right in is crazy I bet you if they get a test base on laws 80% of them will fail on the spot!!! Very few of them know the law and just choice if they want to abuse it or chill lol 😂
Misinterpretation of law due to poor reading comprehension is way too common. There should be reading comprehension courses for law enforcement to determine if they should maintain that position.
OOOOF!
I love watching your videos and how you expose these arrogant pricks………..keep up the great work!
