A Cuban verbally confronted two police officers Miami-Dade Departmenta man and a woman, who approached the parking lot of a store Home Depot to tell him and four other men that they could not be there by order of the owners of the establishment.
“They can’t be here and you know it. We have been seeing you for a long time… I am going to ‘transfer’ you from the ‘shopping‘ because they gave us an order to ‘transfer’ all the people who are here. “Can you give me your license or am I going to arrest you?” the police officer asked.
The video -published in TikTok– shows the way in which the Cuban citizen confronted the agent several times, to whom he ended up giving the documentation, but reluctantly.
It is unknown if the other four were also Cubans because the others remained silent and only one was the one who turned to the authorities.
When the female agent arrived, the Cuban said he knew her from when she visited a nearby cafeteria and reproached her that although he had seen them there plenty on other occasions, now he was throwing them out.
The woman pretended not to understand and then argued that by decision of the owners they could not be there and that after the official warning, if they were seen in the area again they would be arrested.
The video ended with the Cuban going to his car to leave under the firm threat of being arrested at that very moment.
The Home Depot parking lots are frequented places not only in Miami, but throughout the United States by illegal immigrants looking for work for a day, which could be the reason why the Cuban and his companions were regulars in the area, something that is not confirmed.
In the comments section of the publication, dozens of Internet users criticized the Cuban’s defiant attitude.
“Whoever does not agree with the laws should return to their country and speak to the police like that”; “Surely in Cuba he wasn’t that handsome”; “Only in Miami do you talk to the police like that, come to Texas and you will be left speechless”; “That police officer was quite elegant because the first time he told him to give him the license if he didn’t give it to him, he meant he was under arrest,” some said.
He trespass (trespass) is a crime that involves the decree of illegal entry for anyone who is warned that they cannot trespass on private property.
“It is already known that they cannot sit and wait for someone to pick them up to work. Home Depot already gave the order not to be in the parking lot, apart from the fact that they drink beer,” noted another Internet user.
Sound advice for the Cuban protagonist of the incident, in the opinion of several commentators in Tiktokis that he improves his ways and does not confront the authorities because with those ways things can go wrong.
