AMAGANSETT PRESS Cornered By TYRANTS Over A FAKE Trespass — MASSIVE LAWSUIT? (Lawyer Explains)

It is a bright afternoon at the Avenues at Northfield, an open-air shopping center in Denver. A journalist walks the public walkway, camera up, filming storefronts. A security guard storms over, demands his identification, and tells him he is trespassing. She calls the police, and a sergeant rolls up ready to back her and order the man off the property. Then comes the part nobody talks about: the officers on scene admit he is in the right, the man refuses to get himself arrested over it, and a lieutenant at the precinct overrules the sergeant and sends him right back to finish filming. I am a criminal defense attorney. In this video I break down every legal issue in this encounter: whether a private security guard can trespass you from a shopping center that is open to the public, why Colorado's Bock v. Westminster Mall decision makes this a genuine gray area instead of a slam dunk, whether anyone has to hand over ID for filming in Colorado, what reasonable suspicion actually requires before a single question is owed an answer, Colorado's third-degree trespass law and what it really takes, the real danger of a sergeant ordering an unlawful detention, why the officer who follows a bad order still owns it, and the honest answer to the question filling the comments: is this actually the massive lawsuit it looks like? Here is a hint. The man behind the camera got an enormous amount right. He cited the case law. He knew his rights cold. But he said one thing on that video that is just wrong, and it happens to be the exact thing that decides whether there is any lawsuit at all. 🛡️ JOIN THE DEFENSE BRIEF — my channel membership Stand with the people holding the line.
