Attempted ID Check by Thornton Police Employee Shut Down [Video]
The content below, shared by Eli via CopBlock.org/Submit, documents how a couple of people who knew their rights effectively stood up for them, and filmed, when questioned by an employee of the Thornton (IL) Police Outfit.
Date of Interaction: 09-19-14
Outfit: Thornton (IL) Police Department
Phone: 708-877-4440
I was working at a bank owned home which is private property. I was approached by a police officer from the rear of the property. He demanded to know what business I had at this particular property. I responded by saying I was working. He then asked for ID and I then responded by saying I do not believe I have committed any crimes or violated any laws to be under investigation. The police officer then asked me if I was refusing to provide an ID. I responded by saying that I felt like i was being harassed for my personal information and I was fearful because the police officer is armed with deadly weapons.
My co-worker then starts the video recording and walks up to me handing me the video camera to continue recording as he provides a work order to prove that we do in fact have permission to be on that particular property.

Even after seeing this proof the police officer continues harassing me and my coworker for ID’s. The police officer then attempts to use manipulation to convince me to understand his street gang tactics.
After I remain firm the office continues to beat his logic into me until my co-worker shuts him down! A win for me and co-worker!
