The video comes from defense attorney Jesse Bright, who also drives for Uber in his spare time. Bright said he was making a round trip for a customer on Feb. 26 and was stopped shortly after the passenger got back into the vehicle.

The passenger was asked to exit the vehicle and submit to a search. The location where Bright stopped was described as a “drug house” by an officer heard on the video.

When Bright kept recording the interaction, Wilmington Police Sergeant Kenneth Becker, confronted him and told him to stop recording.

In an interview Wednesday, Bright said he’s confident the officers knew the information they were giving was false.

“They should know–I’m sure they do know–that it’s legal to record police,” Bright said.

Officer: Hey bud, turn that off, OK?

Driver: No, I’ll keep recording. Thank you. It’s my right.

Officer: Don’t record me. You got me?

Driver: Look, you’re a police officer on duty. I can record you.

Officer walks to driver’s side of vehicle

Officer: Be careful because there is a new law. Turn it off or I’ll take you to jail.

Driver: For recording you? What is the law?

Officer: Step out of the car.

Driver: What are you arresting me for? I’m sitting here in my car. I’m just recording in case anything happens. I’m surrounded by five police officers.

Officer:  You’re being a jerk.

Driver: I’m scared right now. I’m not being a jerk. I’m recording in case anything happens.

Officer: You better hope we don’t find something in your car?

Driver: You’re not searching my car?

Officer: I’m going to search your car.

Driver: You’re not searching my car.

Officer calls for K-9 unit

Driver:  Bring the K-9s. I don’t care. I know my rights.

Officer: I hope so. I know what the law is.

Driver: I know the law. I’m an attorney, so I would hope I know what the law is.

Officer: And an Uber driver?

Bright said he decided to record because he was being asked several questions. He said after being told he would be taken to jail, Sergeant Becker attempted to open his door, but Bright said he held on tight and wouldn’t let him in.

That was a “sworn officer of the court” lying his ass off right there

In court testimony a judge will give his statements the weight of truth

And a possibly innocent citizen will be put in jail

If you get called to jury duty

Make sure you go

And make sure that no lying cop puts an innocent person in jail

Stand up and do your civic duty

And don’t let  a liar get away with it
