Excuse me, sir? How you doing?
Alright, I see you filming me I am
But I need to see what you have on you so you need to come from behind that sign.
Huh? Come on out, let's see your hands.
Okay, I can't hold the signs and do that. Sir, you need to come from behind there.
You can keep the camera on all you want but you're going to do what I asked you to do.
For my safety and yours. Is there a reason why you're stopping me?
I need to find out what you're doing out here. You need to find out what I'm doing?
Yeah. Am I committing a crime?
Well, I'm getting complaints, so therefore.... Well complaints don't mean that I'm committing
a crime. Do you have any ID on you?
Yeah, I have ID on me. I need to see it , please.
So, is there a reason you're detaining me? I'm not detaining you.
Oh, so I can leave? Sure, after I see your ID.
I'm getting complaints from the school. So, you're detaining me?
I need to see your ID please. So, you're detaining me?
I'd like to know why I'm being detained. I'm investigating why you're out here.
Are you investigating a crime? Thank you, sir.
'Cause, you know you're only allowed to detain me if you're investigating a crime.
{RADIOCHATTER} So, why are you out here today Mr. Weiler?
I go in front of high schools to show kids what abortion is.
Okay. Is that Officer Thomas?
Sgt. Thomas My ID is 1879
1879 thank you very much. You're welcome.
Frank-10 [indistinct]
So, I'm out here in front of Gwynn Park High School
and Sgt. Thomas is stopping me, Just as I was getting ready to pack up.
Apparently doesn't feel he need to be investigating a crime to be detaining me.
Do you do this often? I just started doing this.
You just started doing this? I've been in front of some other high schools.
Not in PG County. What other areas you been in?
I've been in Howard County, a couple of other areas,
Sir, I'm gonna tell you right now, for my safety, I need to see you.
You can se both my hands. I don't care what you do with the signs but
you need to step from behind there. I'm only going to ask you this one more time.
That good enough? [Radio Chatter]
Is this your correct address? That is.
Do you have a home number? Huh?
Do you have a home number? It's not my house, I don't own it.
Okay, do you have a contact number? I don't give out my phone number.
But this is your correct address, right? That is my correct address.
So are you on a crusade for yourself, or are you representing a group?
I'm not going to answer anymore questions. Huh?
I'm not going to answer anymore questions. 10-4. How far is four?
[Radio chatter indistinct] Alright, I'll be back with you.
License Plate PG3862. Is it weller or wheeler?
Weiler. Alright Mr. Weiler, I mean, you know the rules
and everything, I do, which is why I'm wondering why your
detaining me any longer. Like I said, I'm investigating I have the
right to do that. You have the right to investigate a crime.
Yes, I do have the right. You have to have suspicion of an actual crime.
You know what, when people call in by a school. People can call all they want.
We're not even talking semantics. Like, I said, I get a call, school, and they're
concerned because so many things have happened about schools, I'm going to investigate.
That's fine. Whether you have a camera or not.
But in absence of a crime you're not allowed to detain me.
Well, okay, but you have the right to free speech.
I didn't make you put down your sign or anything. But I am going to check and see who you are,
everything is valid, here's your ID back. Like I said, you're not passing out any flyers,
doing anything like that, you're on public property, away for school property, so you
know the rules. There's no problem.
Am I free to go now? Anytime you'd like.
Thank you very much, you have a nice day officer. You're welcome very much.
By the way what station are you out of? Clinton.
Clinton? Thank you.
