WATCH: Lying Cops Get Owned as They Try to Intimidate Rights-Flexing Attorney

Wilmington, NC — A powerful video, taken by an attorney while being harassed by police, illustrates the power of filming — and why cops will lie through their teeth, apply intimidation tactics, and threaten you to get you to stop it.

Attorney Jesse Bright, who works as an Uber driver in his spare time, was on a round trip drive, bringing a man who works as a pet groomer to pick up his paycheck on Feb. 26. During the first Uber stop, police suddenly surrounded the vehicle and forced the passenger to submit to a search because they were near a known "drug house."

For his safety and to account for the officers' actions, Bright began filming. When Sergeant Kenneth Becker saw that he was recording, that's when the lies, threats, and intimidation began.

Officer: Hey bud, turn that off, OK?

Bright: No, I'll keep recording. Thank you. It's my right.

Officer: Don't record me. You got me?

Bright: Look, you're a police officer on duty. I can record you.

Becker then walks to driver's side of vehicle to escalate the level of intimidation.

Officer: Be careful because there is a new law. Turn it off or I'll take you to jail.

Bright: For recording you? What is the law?

Officer: Step out of the car.

Bright: What are you arresting me for? I'm sitting here in my car. I'm just recording in case anything happens. I'm surrounded by five police officers.

Officer: You're being a jerk.

Bright: I'm scared right now. I'm not being a jerk. I'm recording in case anything happens.
