Why didn't you make that call? Ror shifted in his seat.
I couldn't verify her claims without proper identification first. She was refusing to comply.
The video shows her attempting to reach for her purse when you instructed her to produce identification. Monroe observed.
That doesn't appear to be refusal. She resumed the footage showing Ror grabbing Danielle's arm when she moved toward her purse.
The handcuffs appeared moments later with Danielle still asking for address verification. Now, let's review officer Hayes's body-camera footage, Monroe announced.
Hayes looked uncomfortable as his recording began playing. The audio was crystal clear, capturing every word of the encounter from his perspective.
Officer Hayes, Monroe said, "Your camera shows Mrs. Carter repeatedly requesting address verification.
Did Sergeant Ror ever attempt to confirm her residence?" Hayes glanced nervously at Ror before answering.
"No, ma'am." He refused each time she asked.
Ror's jaw tightened. Hayes wasn't positioned to hear every exchange clearly.
Monroe fast forwarded to the moment Marcus arrived. The recording showed Ror's immediate change in demeanor when federal credentials appeared.
The audio captures Agent Carter asking one question repeatedly, Monroe noted. Officer Hayes, what was that question?
Hayes spoke quietly but clearly. He kept asking what crime his wife had committed.
Did Agent Carter make any threats or aggressive statements? Monroe continued.
No, ma'am. He never raised his voice or made any threatening gestures.
Monroe showed both officers the photograph Hayes had taken of his original report. Officer Hayes, this is your initial incident description, completed immediately after the encounter.
Can you read the relevant section? Hayes cleared his throat.
Subject remained calm and cooperative throughout contact. No combative behavior observed.
Subject provided consistent information about residents and requested address verification multiple times. Ror erupted from his chair.
Hayes doesn't have enough experience to accurately assess threat levels. His judgment gets clouded by procedure instead of recognizing real danger.
"Sergeant Ror," Monroe said sharply. Are you attacking your own partner's credibility?
I'm explaining why his observations might be incomplete. Ror shot back.
He's too focused on following every little rule instead of understanding when someone is playing games. Hayes straightened in his chair, his nervousness transforming into determination.
Sergeant Ror, Mrs. Carter never threatened either of us.
She answered every question truthfully. She never behaved aggressively or combatively.
Ror's face reddened. "You're choosing to protect a civilian over your own sergeant."
