Tempe Police Exposed: Failure To Uphold Law

Police Response to a Complaint About Noise

Good.

How's it going, officer?

Good. Good.

Sergeant Amos.

Clayton.

Nice to meet you, Clayton.

Nice to meet you.

Here's the deal.

We're getting some complaints already. Nobody wants contact. I'm just here as kind of a courtesy. It is not what you're saying. It's how loud it is.

OK?

I'm telling you, we're probably not going to get any complaints if we turn that down or if you don't use it. If you continue to use it or turn it up,.

We may get more complaints.

And if somebody wants to be a victim that's disorderly conduct at some point, then I'm going to have to come and talk to you again.

Do you understand?

Yeah, I understand.

You've been contacted by us before, right? Not personally.

OK. OK.

So it's nothing about why you're here, what you're doing. It's all about the noise.

Right. OK?

We contacted you guys a couple weeks ago, and nobody ever responded.

Oh.

About what?

They're violating Arizona state law by murdering children here today.

OK.

I'm here about a complaint about the noise.

Yeah, but why do you respond to their complaint, and not ours?

I'm not going to get into that debate with you, sir.

Well, we'll make the complaint right here. They're violating. I'll show you the law right here, and you can respond since you're here.

I'm not complaining to somebody for breaking Arizona law.

OK.

Do you guys understand what I'm telling you.

About the loud noise?

I understand.

OK.

I'll take a look at the law.

Sure. Yeah.

It's kind of hard to see.

Oh, there you go.

You know how to use a better knife here.

This is the definition of punishment under 3603.

Mm-hmm.

You can hold it if it helps you actually look at it. So we know that's what they're doing here today. So we appreciate you. Glad you came out here. We'd like you to go talk to them and take care of business here, because we know this is absolutely being violated right now.

OK.

Like I said, I'm not going to get into that debate.

There are other people that look into that, OK?

That's a debate for you guys to, you can protest it all you want.

Protest the law that's on the book that you're required to enforce.

It's absolutely just being done, and that I can't prove.

You mean absolutely. That's what you just said.

You can't prove that.

They advertise it. We know that they're murdering children today through abortion. And so they're causing miscarriages, according to this law.

The words you're using are more or less an opinion, whether it's murder or whether it's, I'm not here to give you an opinion.

This law says it intentionally tries to cause a miscarriage.

Do you understand what I'm saying about the noise?

I understand about the noise.

OK.

You guys have a great day.

So what's your name, officer?

Kevin Amos.

Kevin Amos.

A-M-E-I-S-O-S.

You're a supervisor at Tempe, and you saw the law that I just showed you, yet you won't go inside. You won't go inside, even though you know it's been violated. I've answered your questions. You won't go inside, yes or no?

No.

You won't go inside, so you won't enforce the law in Tempe. That's what you're telling me.

No, that's not what I said.

OK, that's what you just said.

You guys have a good day, OK?

Who do we speak to to file this claim?

We've called the officer.

You said we need to go to someone else to file a claim.

Who do we go to? Lieutenant Hayes.

Lieutenant Hayes?

More than welcome.

And he has more authority than you do?

No, but if you want to find out what I'm doing.

Or how I'm doing it, you can go ahead and call him.

Is he your supervisor, I guess?

Yes, he's my supervisor.

OK, you can call him and say, hey, we'd like you to go inside. We're making an official complaint. This is what's going on. We know they're violating it, and yet you're choosing to ignore it.

I'm not choosing to ignore it.

You won't even make contact, right? And I showed you the law on your side.

We've made contact with them before,.

As we've made contact with you guys before.

So you went up there about abortion and said they're causing miscarriages intentionally, and you said this is a law.

Like I told you, I'm not having that debate with you.

It's not a debate. It's a law in Arizona that you're ignoring.

If you have a complaint about me,.

You're more than welcome to call us.

Are you sworn to uphold the law in Arizona?

OK.

Officer, are you sworn to uphold the law in Arizona?

I am.

Then why won't you enforce it, officer?
