This guy got arrested at a Christmas parade in Florida for wearing a body armor vest concealed under his shirt. The problem is, that wasn’t illegal. I saw this in the news, with cops taking a victory lap and Karens rejoicing about it, so I put in a request for the footage, and just got it. And it’s worse than I even thought it would be. Lawful conduct does not become illegal just because police officers – or Karens – are afraid of something. My rights don’t end where your fear of some perfectly legal object begins.

I think & feel like this American Man had his rights violated, he needs to be compensated for this!
And they kept his body armor and his weapons I'd sue them… Sue for false arrest and false imprisonment
Completely makes me feel unsafe when a cop can take my weapon and my vest for no reason
Clearly you're not allowed to protect yourself and that's the state's job!!!
Big Brother's always watching and even though you may die whoever did it to you will be caught and that should make you feel happy while you're dead!!!
Donuts are soft and round with no sharp edges for “ OFFICER SAFETY”…However, “WE GOT A CALL” and need to “MAKE CONTACT” and “GET I.D.” in order to “FURTHER OUR INVESTIGATION” into the lethality of bear claws and sprinkles.
He fears for his life because he worked with the cops as an informant. Now he has to fear for his life from the cops for trying to protect his life from the people he 'informed' on. Is there a lesson? Maybe don't get caught in the middle.
A ton of us are moving towards vests and gas masks. Walking around town is getting dangerous out there. You may not even know there is a raid about to go down and just be walking by.
So whats cops excuse when they put it on everyday for work? Are they too scared to go out in public too? Why are they scared. Sue that dept. That sheriff just costed that city big time.
They have him sitting there because they want him to break down on camera in that room and maybe he will say something they can use against him.
The totality of the situation makes it perfectly reasonable for him to be detained and questioned. Sucks but so does the weather sometimes.
He needs to shut up and lawyer up! Sheesh
Don’t that make the police scary when they wear theirs??
So, when Matthew gets shot by whoever was threatening him, can the police get charged for taking away his vest and weapon?
the detective footage is damning, these are traitors to the constitution. no better than the rats in Minnesota.
they don't want us to carry guns.
how we have fallen… let too many rats in, now everyone is a suspect.
mass deportation is needed. then we can hang these traitors.
this is honestly so heinous… cant wear body armor AND carry a gun? it offends the senses.
this should have just been a stop and talk… identify this 'american' that reported this 'heinous' behavior… of walking the same path of congressman whatshisname
That’s the type of gun culture republicans created down there and the cops are terrified. Also that congressman probably voted for it too
I think everything was reasonable i suppose until they got info about his purpose and verified with his parents, but them keeping his property that is unreasonable and unjustified he best sue them for theft.
Not sure if I'm high enough for this.
This fella received threats. Cops are (statistically) far less threatened than pizza delivery people. Safety is for only cops?
"Up to no good" after hearing that only from the press…
This is the worst timeline.
I call bullshit!! They are full of bullshit!! Stupid ducks!!
ACAB
And now the taxpayers will end up paying once more.
Extremely concerning is a felony or misdemeanor??
Heroes one and all ……… earning the hate
Some cops are simply jealous of civilians' owning anything valuable: including cash😂
