The “I’m Turner” is always such an amazing flex. Cops eyes always change when they hear that from what they thought was just a small fry wannabe auditor.
Auditor: "Yes it is. In fact it seems to be one of the few ways that we the public, can ensure transparency and keep you, the public servants, accountable and in check. Capiche?"
Here’s the deal….when they’re on camera at the station under scrutiny, they walk the walk and talk the talk with sugar cubes in their mouths. But later on the street, they do what they want and to hell with courtesy and professionalism.
The legend Battousai Mr Turner is back on the beat! Over on Long Island when want to file a complaint the desk sergeant looks at you up and down, he goes to the back and about 3 officers and detectives enter the lobby and begin to make you feel like you did something wrong haha but as long as you stand your ground and don’t get intimidated they’ll give you the service’s you’ve requested! Great work my brother!
I have come to realize that when a department does an "Internal Review" they are looking for policy violations which are not criminal. If they see criminal activity, they can use word smithing to say "we have completed the investigation and found no wrongdoing" even if there were criminal violations. Their investigation is for policy violations and not all illegal activity is covered by policy and it is their discretion to arrest or not arrest. Although it may not be applicable in this case, it is something to keep in mind.
You are so spot on with your observation. When cops are disciplined or fired its never for breaking the law that they in fact broke. Its always only for Policy violations. Know why? So they don't get the DA involved and no prosecutions. Cops hold Policy above the law and the constitution - everywhere.
@@SmittyAZ "most" of their policies surround getting convicted of criminal behavior so when they do their "internals investigation" they find the person hasn't been convicted so no violation. It is a word game that the public usually doesn't catch on to.
@@phobiaone306 I agree. That's a strange, possibly ignorant, comment you replied to. He is literally the same calm, cool and articulate that he's always been.
Turner is an OG. He is and always has been a shining example for new Auditors to emulate, as he and Jeff Gray are THE 2 best civil rights investigators out there, bar none.
I absolutely love the follow up BATT. The woman, “Is the camera necessary”? Absolutely!! Have you heard of Turner v Driver? I’m Turner. Man, that was gold. I’m so glad you are back patrolling and serving. Thanks for all you do, standing up for all our rights. Keep pressing sir BATT.
Philip Turner (AKA "The Battousai," after his RUclips channel) was standing on the sidewalk, across the street from the police station, recording. Several police officers came over, including at least one police car. Turner was questioned about what he was doing. The officers then demanded he provide identification, which he refused, citing Texas law which does not require a person to identify themselves unless arrested. According to the complaint, officers put Turner in the back seat of the cruiser, since he refused to give ID, saying "We're gonna make you sweat," and Turner demanded to speak to a supervisor. Lieutenant Driver showed up, also requesting Turner's identification which was also refused. After a short period of time, which was not more particularly described, Turner was released. Turner started his RUclips page on January 21, 2014.[6] At the time of his arrest on September 1, 2015, Turner was a part time student and a part time employee.[7] As of February 26, 2023, Turner's Battousai RUclips page had over 100 million views.[6] Turner v. Driver established the right to record police under reasonable circumstances in the Fifth Circuit
Cooley was absolutely adorable the way he said we have to”work together”, they had “no problem” with people exercising their rights, and they hold their officers to “high standards “. The way he said it with a straight face almost made me want to believe him. GTFOH.
It's amazing how officers frame everything in their favour, talking to the chief you explain that an officer was shining a flashlight directly into your face, this is immediately reframed as "shinning a light in your general direction" by the chef (who wasn't even there) - and when you explain that you were simply filming, he immediately goes to people _"holding flashlights on police, it gets dangerous, pointing a laser at police, we ain't going to be blinded while we're dealing with something else"_ . . . everything the police do is downplayed, excused and minimised, everything the public do is exaggerated, magnified, blown way out of proportion.
It's called copsplaining. Just good ol' fashioned gaslighting. If a cops lips are moving, they are more than likely lying. Behind closed doors, they laugh at how their narrative is almost impossible to counteract.
Thank you Mr Turner it a long road but if change is to come it must be walked. Remember this one two task orientated narrow focused Constutional breeches. Clearly restraint by shining light into two camera lenses.Blocking the First.
So calm and educated. I couldnt keep my composer as well as you. Your doing more than making change in audits. Making positive change in stereotypes as well. Your demeanor is amazing.
Given your interaction with the deputy chief, it is obvious that there is a communication chasm between him and some Belton patrol officers. It may be time to clean house without the taxpayers of Belton having to pay a lawsuit settlement or increased liability insurance costs.
Some people give what they get.. Law enforcement are REQUIRED to ignore attitude, name calling, any and all things that are LEGAL under the constitution.. 🐧

If it's a gov/public interaction, made a public record, then it has value. It's about our rights being upheld equally, under all circumstances, as intended. United we stand! 🇺🇸
@@WitnessingTyranny indeed. In the UK we have had our right to protest taken away by legislation now. We have no free speech or expression anymore because the people allowed the government to take that from us by attacking innocent citizens and defending the government. In America you guys care a lot about your freedoms and liberties, and your constitution even has rights which help you to protect your rights. People have their opinions of America because of some stupid things they’ve done in the past when going to war but for the most part those wars were fought to protect their own liberties, even if some were a mistake.
Very professional and tactful. This right here is how to properly represent the auditor community; stay blameless and give the tyrants no excuses. No emotional responses, listen to how even though they were trying push this narrative of not interfering, he calmly and respectfully had the exchange while standing his ground. It’s my belief that when at all possible, handling situations in this manner is beneficial for everyone involved even if it goes in front of a Judge, it only works in the auditors favor.
Varied approaches may be hard to stomach at times, but boots on the ground likely adapt to situations once the tried and true is found ineffective. Just food for thought.
@5:20 min mark, whether intentional or not - the cop who ask Phil ‘so you do want to formalize your complaint?’…while he’s holding Phil’s comprehensive complaint submittal packet in his hands(!) gave off the distinct impression he was trying to deflect or discourage Phil from filing a formal complaint. I mean why else ask that rhetorical question? Not a good look…
@Aaron J ...seriously? Which part about him hand delivering a multi-paged packet, assembled following that PD's own complaint process guidance, & complete with timestamp cross-references to BWC footage he waited (& paid $ to acquire) seemed in any way unclear?
“They call me Mr Turner.” They didn’t kick you out the door when you went to file your complaint; I guess that’s progress. Let’s see if IA find, “No fault.”
Glad to see you back. You were and continue to be the best. I’ve watched all of your videos and you and Long Island Audit are really the only two that are respectful - it shows in the number of subscribers you both have.
BATTMAN, Sir, you are always the gentleman. You are always more rational and practical than the police. Thank you. Thank you for all of it that you do.
Philip is the epitome of how to audit and file complaints, perfect demeanor, professional all the way. Stopped watching when he stopped personally auditing. I see he is doing some again, so I will watch again. Watched for years.
It's funny that people will sit under the watch of dozens of cameras all day every day as they go about their daily life... But If someone dares to hold a camera in their hands they freak out.
I can't hardly listen to them anymore. The first thing he said was, "I don't care if you record in here." He should say, "We respect your constitutionally protected rights to be here and record. Because we swore the oath to uphold and protect your rights." They're narcissists and need to feel that control. All of them think that everything they do is at their discretion.
@@WitnessingTyranny It is true that they get off on the wrong foot just by coming from a standpoint of deciding whether or not a constitutionally protected activity is "a problem" for them or not. This is a very important issue, central to establishing a proper attitude and mindset for officers to have in the line of duty.
The fact that these officers were cordial, and none of the officers escalated to aggression or violence, especially while you're filing a complaint... is rather impressive.
You forgot to mention that them shining the flashlight at you, for more than just a quick look at you, in order to prevent you from recording is called prior restraint and a violation of your first amendment rights
Professional con-artist with a badge. That lying larry that took your complaint and pretended to have a cordial convo with you in the lobby was heavily passive-aggressive condescending.
Apropos of nothing but the location, Belton, Texas.... My dad was stationed nearby at Ft Hood Army Base circa 1970-74. He'd sometimes take us 3 kids to this restaurant by Belton Lake. It had a wide view of the lake, all glass, and an open water feature sunk into the floor alongside the tables at that side of the dining area, sort of like a long, skinny, canal, just wide enough for these two big, long, catfish to swim past one another. I was only 5-6 yrs old, but I remember those catfish like it was yesterday. Even though we had to 'dress up' to go to what must have been an elegant establishment, it was such a thrill to be so close to those monster fish 3-4 ft was bigger than we were. Yup, Texas in the early 1970's... and gas was 35 cents a gallon...
Colorado cops are starting to learn since qualified immunity was abolished there. They still have a long way to go, but they're very clearly moving in the right direction. Congress should take notice and abolish qualified immunity nationwide.
Its all a lie. Just more lies. They despise the public, and dont want personal contact. Theyll contact you via a letter, so theres a paper trail, in a few months…giving the illusion that they investigated thoroughly….only to deny your complaint as unsubstantiated.
"Deputy CHIEF" Larry. Nice. The only unfortunate thing about this interaction is that Deputy Chief Larry rapidly repeated himself multiple times whilst he was speaking, which is a clear sign that he was frantically searching for the right words to look good on camera, as opposed to being perfectly truthful and honest. But... let's hope he turns out to be a good guy. Time will tell...
I'm glad you follow through even on the smaller things like not identifying. They seem to believe that just because they haven't dealt with you, they somehow don't need to identify to a citizen when asked. I'm not sure why they continue to wreck your shot with the torch, it's just childish spiteful behavior. They could light you up from the legs but this guy was straight in the lens even when you moved. Good to see you back Mr. Turner, I've been following you since early days.
when cops continue to say “ok” over and over, they are either being completely dismissive or completely condescending. this jackass is trying to equate auditing, 1st Amendment rights, to misdeeds and lawbreaking by his officers. It’s absurd. Also, “we don’t care if you record, just don’t get too close” while having TV shows that glorify cops having their cameras right up in the action. Why is it any different for civilians?
While the Deputy Chief seemed to say all the right things…it is his patrol officer(s) who: kept a flashlight on Phil for a prolonged period of time (disrupting the video capture); refused to provide name & badge# upon request; & even gleefully admitted on their BWCs they were going to take steps to specifically avoid Phil after their stop and purposefully deny him the requested ID info. So, the deputy chief’s comments provide good cover for his Dept…but talk is cheap, & we have all seen on Phil’s 1st Belton video that his officers are NOT doing what he admits they should be doing. Thus a leadership failure…whether unintentional or by design.
Internal Affairs investigate the person complaining. I used to work in the news biz, and I can't recall one complaint, even with audio, video, witnesses... that ever resulted in more than a form letter (usually misspelled) being sent stating no policy violations were found.
That old cop couldn't be honest if the truth slapped him upside the face. His department obviously hate cameras as demonstrated by the complaint being filed and the door lady asking if "the camera is necessary". I wouldve liked his lies to be questioned harder.
I've missed Philips calm polite manner,all auditors should be this way.. A bad cop has nothing to stand on when you are polite and have a calm manner..
ALWAYS. Even in his arrest video in Austin, that precipitated the Turner vs Driver case that established precedent, he was totally and completely calm and respectful. That is a FEAT, in and of itself!
"so you do want to formalize the complaint"... THIS IS CRITICAL FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND, the deputy chief just tried to suggest this may be informal, meaning, they will "have a talk with the officer" but no punitive measures can now take place per the union contract because it was not a "formal complaint"... this is one of the biggest shams departments run to roadblock accountability, by treating things as informal or steering people to it, they protect the bad cops they are supposed to hold accountable...
Great follow up Phillip,,, deputy chief you're saying one thing but your offices are doing another time to review all their body cams and nip any bad behaviour in the bud

“You’ve heard of Turner vs Driver”? “I’m Turner” NICE
Gtsy here Corners, love your work my friend 😊😊
Did you see the supervisor shake on his boots and changed his attitude after that statement? Satisfying!!!
Brother is so humble, he hardly ever states "I'm Turner, of Turner v. Driver" . I got case law In my name.
The tone of the conversation changed when it was learned this camera man is Turner.
Batman returns. Good to see you back at it.
It’s concerning that “officer safety” is always the excuse.
I have a new term stop that excuse
Yes. That is why nobody should tell officers "be safe".
"Have your heard about Turner vs Driver? I'm Turner" - this statement alone makes bigger impact than anything I can imagine

Its the ONLY way to make them accountable in any way.
Is the camera necessary? Oh, hell yes it is!
Hundreds of cameras in and outside the building. But a peasant having one is questionable.
@Hanzy Scure and it should be live feed to web for all to see 24/7 365

It’s absurd. Also, “we don’t care if you record, just don’t get too close” while having TV shows that glorify cops having their cameras right up in the action. Why is it any different for civilians?
it doesnt matter how minor is the issue, always file a complaint so there is record.
Exactly, the more complaints build up for these people the better
Love seeing your vids popping up in my feed again ❤
Glad to see you out there again Sir. Love your respectful auditing style.
While the Deputy Chief seemed to say all the right things…it is his patrol officer(s) who: kept a flashlight on Phil for a prolonged period of time (disrupting the video capture); refused to provide name & badge# upon request; & even gleefully admitted on their BWCs they were going to take steps to specifically avoid Phil after their stop and purposefully deny him the requested ID info. So, the deputy chief’s comments provide good cover for his Dept…but talk is cheap, & we have all seen on Phil’s 1st Belton video that his officers are NOT doing what he admits they should be doing. Thus a leadership failure…whether unintentional or by design.
That Captain was the best I ever witnessed Hands Down 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Ask them if they remember John and Mike Arena what they did to them.
The Sergeant and Deputy Chief are actually very polite and well spoken tbh.
Internal Affairs investigate the person complaining. I used to work in the news biz, and I can't recall one complaint, even with audio, video, witnesses... that ever resulted in more than a form letter (usually misspelled) being sent stating no policy violations were found.
Nice work glad to see you back at it. Love your work ethic & respectful way that you that work. Always a pleasure to see your videos 🙂
That old cop couldn't be honest if the truth slapped him upside the face. His department obviously hate cameras as demonstrated by the complaint being filed and the door lady asking if "the camera is necessary". I wouldve liked his lies to be questioned harder.
I've missed Philips calm polite manner,all auditors should be this way..
A bad cop has nothing to stand on when you are polite and have a calm manner..
ALWAYS. Even in his arrest video in Austin, that precipitated the Turner vs Driver case that established precedent, he was totally and completely calm and respectful. That is a FEAT, in and of itself!
Is the camera necessary?
Yes. This building has cameras filming me.
"so you do want to formalize the complaint"... THIS IS CRITICAL FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND, the deputy chief just tried to suggest this may be informal, meaning, they will "have a talk with the officer" but no punitive measures can now take place per the union contract because it was not a "formal complaint"... this is one of the biggest shams departments run to roadblock accountability, by treating things as informal or steering people to it, they protect the bad cops they are supposed to hold accountable...
That was a good interaction
Good 4 you 😊
Yes bat has a proven track record of winning lawsuits.
Notice to law enforcement in Texas. Don't violate people's rights, you never know when Mr. Turner is watching you.
When you said I’m turner reminds me of the heat of the night they call me Mr turner
Tried to defame you as an ‘auditor’
As usual, great interaction, P. Overall Belton is great. But they have had some awful encounters
POYF, Sorry but those 2 things seem contradictory. An ‘overall great’ LEO Dept should be having ZERO ‘awful encounters’.
@@charliepiland3285 “should”
I wasn't aware that you are turner. You are a legend.
Much respect. Thank you!
Glad to see you back making videos
Great follow up Phillip,,, deputy chief you're saying one thing but your offices are doing another time to review all their body cams and nip any bad behaviour in the bud
