Thank you for watching and sharing. Send videos for us to review to recordpolicenow@gmail.comA New Level of Confidence and PowerSan The Man2026-09-07 | Wow, I’m quite surprised at what I just witnessed! This is great. First Amendment Auditing is a fast growing phenomenon that grew wings on its own. There was a no leader here. There is no master above us. We are one of the people holding government accountable.
Imagine wearing a hat that says “we the people” but the only one you care about is yourself. Imagine getting involved in activism because someone put you here, instead of you making your own decision to be here. Imagine getting funded to do this work and not tell any other activists about it. Imagine writing the biggest apology letter in the history of America because you were afraid of a little jail time.
That ain’t San Joaquin Valley Transparency. This man cannot be bought. San the Man is the true meaning of “We The People” because he considers himself to be one, and he also helped build the first amendment community.
He doesn’t need to wear a hat to try to convince anyone that he is for the people.

They say you find out who’s really in your corner during the darkest moments of your life.
For some men, that moment is financial ruin.
For others, it’s sickness.
For this man?
It was watching his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend’s car get loaded onto a tow truck.
Our story begins with a woman driving a vehicle belonging to her ex-boyfriend.
Problem number one.
She doesn’t have a driver’s license.
Problem number two.
And sitting proudly in the passenger seat is the NEW boyfriend—a man who apparently woke up that morning completely unaware he was about to become an unpaid constitutional correspondent for the evening news.
Police pull them over.
The officer starts asking questions, and New Boyfriend immediately reaches for his phone.
Camera rolling.
Questions flying.
“Why are you doing this?”
“What law is that?”
“Do we have to answer that?”
The man is READY.
He has mentally transformed the passenger seat into the Supreme Court of the United States.
There’s just one problem.
His own girlfriend keeps overruling him.
“Just comply.”
He tries again.
“Officer, can you explain—”
“BABE. JUST COMPLY.”
At this point, this man isn’t debating the police anymore.
He’s debating his own legal team.
And his legal team has switched sides.
Meanwhile, the car is getting impounded anyway.
That’s what makes the whole thing hilarious.
She seems to believe that if everybody remains quiet, polite and cooperative enough, the officer might suddenly look at the situation and say:
“Wait a minute. No license? Driving your ex-boyfriend’s car? You know what? I like your attitude. Forget the whole thing. Everybody go home.”
No.
That tow truck was already spiritually on its way.
The boyfriend wasn’t necessarily trying to stop the inevitable. He was documenting what was happening and questioning the government officials making it happen.
And every time he tried, the person he expected to stand beside him basically became the officer’s volunteer backup.
“Sir, please stop questioning authority.”
“Ma’am, I didn’t say that.”
“I KNOW. I’M HELPING.”
There comes a moment in every relationship when a man asks himself the difficult questions:
Will she stand beside me when things get rough?
Will she support me when everybody else is against me?
And most importantly…
When I’m recording the police from the passenger seat of her ex-boyfriend’s soon-to-be-impounded car…
IS SHE GONNA QUIT TELLING ME TO COMPLY?!
Because fellas, sometimes you don’t need your woman to fight your battles.
You don’t need her to argue.
You don’t even need her to agree with you.
Sometimes you just need her to give you about five uninterrupted minutes to finish recording the damn traffic stop.
The car was getting towed either way.
At least let the man get some content out of it.

During a routine search, officers discovered a cell phone and charger hidden inside an inmate's cell. Investigators determined the 427 items had been brought into the facility in exchange for money, and Moody, who had worked at the jail since 2019, admitted to supplying them.
Sheriff Jim Skinner confronted Moody in a recorded meeting, telling him he was fired for betraying public trust and ordering him to remove his uniform. Moody was then taken into custody on the spot.
He was booked into the same jail where he had been employed and charged with a third-degree felony for bringing prohibited items into a correctional facility.

#CopWatch #FirstAmendment #PoliceAccountabilityHeavy Police Presence Surrounds Bakersfield High SchoolSan The Man2026-05-23 | Today’s video takes us outside of Bakersfield High School after my uncle from San Joaquin Valley Transparency and I noticed a heavy police presence surrounding the campus. Reports had circulated of a possible person on school grounds with a gun, leading to a major response from Bakersfield Police and Kern High School District officers.
Officers could be seen moving quickly throughout the area as the school was secured and classrooms were checked to ensure the safety of students and staff. The school had been placed on lockdown, which was lifted midway through us being there. From where we were outside the campus, we couldn’t see officers moving classroom to classroom, but we could see them regrouping after splitting up into different teams. The response drew concern from parents, students, and the surrounding community as law enforcement worked the situation.
While outside the school, we spoke with students who shared that the strong police response actually made them feel safer during the incident. Hearing those reactions gave some perspective into how students viewed the situation in real time.
For me personally, being back outside Bakersfield High brought back memories of attending school there as part of the Class of 2014. Seeing such a large police response at a place tied to my own past definitely made this one stand out.

Bodycam footage shows officers attempting to remove Montanez from his vehicle after he refused commands. What followed were what officers described as “compliance strikes” during the arrest.
This case was reportedly reviewed at the federal level, with the officers ultimately cleared. However, the situation raises important questions about use of force, accountability, and officer conduct.
Adding another layer to this case, Officer Emmanuel Ruiz was later arrested in a separate investigation and charged with perjury, falsifying reports, and embezzlement—raising concerns about credibility.

Due to a car crash, first responders, including CHP, had the freeway temporarily closed while they worked the scene.
I wasn’t able to get too close due to the closure, but I pulled up nearby to observe and document the situation as it unfolded. From what could be seen, emergency crews were actively managing the crash and ensuring public safety.

🚨 Copwatch Bakersfield | Emergency Response to Self-Harm Call
While out conducting a Copwatch, we heard a call come through the police scanner regarding a reported attempted suicide involving a man who had injured himself.
We responded to the scene to observe and document the situation, not knowing what we were going to encounter.
Upon arrival, we briefly recorded the scene and then left shortly after. The individual was already secured in a police cruiser at the time, and emergency personnel were present or responding.
From what we could observe, the situation appeared to be under control, though we understand that incidents like this can be serious and complex beyond what is visible on camera.
This video highlights: • Real-time response to a sensitive emergency call • The role of public observation during active scenes • The importance of documenting while remaining respectful
I personally believe it’s important to approach situations like this with awareness and respect. Not every moment is about confrontation — sometimes it’s simply about documenting and stepping back.

Out on another Copwatch in Bakersfield, I came across a car accident that quickly turned into a suspected DUI investigation.
Officers on scene began conducting field sobriety tests to determine whether the driver was under the influence. The situation remained controlled and professional throughout, with officers taking the time to assess the driver step by step.
After completing the investigation and field sobriety tests, the suspect was ultimately cleared and not placed under arrest.
This video highlights: • A real-time DUI investigation following a car accident • Field sobriety tests in action • How officers assess impairment before making an arrest decision
I personally think moments like this are important to show — not every stop leads to an arrest, and sometimes the outcome reflects a full evaluation rather than assumptions.

Last night, I was out conducting a Copwatch across two locations — the Tower District in Fresno and the city of Clovis — observing and documenting law enforcement activity in real time.
Throughout both stops, there wasn’t much confrontation, and the interactions remained relatively calm. These moments are just as important to capture.

During the incident, a backup officer arriving on scene struck both a fellow officer and the suspect with their patrol vehicle.
But what makes this case even more concerning—
the individual being detained was not the person officers were originally looking for.
This video breaks down the events as they unfolded, along with publicly available information tied to prior lawsuits and settlements involving the department.

Throughout the encounter, several bystanders express concern and discomfort, leading to staff involvement and further escalation—despite no laws being broken.
When law enforcement is eventually called, the situation takes an important turn. The responding officer acknowledges the individual’s constitutional rights, does not interfere with the recording, and ultimately provides clarification on what is and is not lawful.
This interaction highlights the ongoing need for public awareness when it comes to First Amendment rights, as well as the importance of proper understanding and response from both civilians and those in positions of authority.

youtu.be/eq0qU_N0Zkc?si=FoaP3q6vyK845SCw$7M Settlement, Permanently Disabled, Officer Charged.. Kinda. Must See.San The Man2026-04-08 | On May 30, 2021, what should have been a routine police response in Idaho Springs, Colorado turned into a life-altering tragedy for 75-year-old Michael Clark.
Police responded to a call from a neighbor who claimed Clark had assaulted her. However, investigators later found no evidence that an assault had actually occurred. When officers knocked on Clark’s door, they did not initially identify themselves as police. Clark opened the door holding what was described as a sawfish bill. Officers immediately ordered him to drop it.
Clark appeared to comply and placed the weapon down.
Moments later, without warning, Officer Nicholas Hanning deployed his taser. The shock sent Clark crashing to the floor where he struck his head. As Clark struggled to regain consciousness, officers continued questioning him rather than immediately rushing medical assistance.
The next day, Clark suffered a catastrophic stroke that permanently changed his life.
Once living independently, Clark now requires 24-hour care.
The incident triggered both a criminal investigation and a federal civil rights lawsuit, alleging violations of Clark’s Fourth Amendment rights and excessive force.
Officer Nicholas Hanning was fired from the Idaho Springs Police Department and later pleaded guilty to third-degree assault.
In 2022, the City of Idaho Springs agreed to a $7 million civil rights settlement, one of the largest settlements in Colorado history that did not involve a death.
This bodycam breakdown examines the key moments in the encounter and the decisions that ultimately changed a man’s life forever.
