A man filming outside a bank is approached by officers after someone reports his behavior as suspicious. Police acknowledge that recording from public space is allowed, but the encounter shifts when they notice a bottle in a brown bag and begin asking whether it contains alcohol.
The man refuses to answer questions or consent to a search, while officers explain that an open-container ordinance could apply if the bottle is alcohol. Despite continued questioning about the bank, the bottle, and his identity, officers ultimately acknowledge his right to remain silent and end the encounter without further escalation.
