A North Carolina woman spoke out and shared video from her Ring doorbell camera showing police entering her home and detaining her.
On August 18, Uniqua Teel took to Facebook and described the incident while sharing several videos.
“This is disturbing. At 3am my family was rudely disturbed & waken out of sleep,” the woman wrote.
What Was Captured on Uniqua Teel’s Door Camera
The videos reportedly showed Greenville police responding to shots fired into an apartment on Moseley Drive and knocking on the neighbor’s door.
“I wasn’t disturbed for calling for help from GPD, nor did I receive any help from GPD, only to cause issues at my home,” she added.
The videos captured cops not only knocking on Teel’s door but also trying to enter her house.
“My 1-year-old is home at the moment. She proceeds to walk to my bedroom to get my phone to unlock to look on my camera while I’m in handcuffs,” she further added.
The Ring footage reportedly showed an officer saying, “You pull it up and show me that it’s not working, and I’ll leave you alone. Otherwise, I’m ripping it off the wall, writing a search warrant, and I’m gonna keep you up all night.”
She also revealed that she had told them the camera wasn’t working.
In the video, an officer is heard saying, “You’re now being detained because you’re not cooperating with an investigation.”
Teel Said Cops Wanted Door Camera Footage
In a video, Teel is heard telling an officer that her Ring doorbell camera was dead. She revealed that officers tried to get hold of her Ring doorbell camera footage from that night.
“They try to bully people because they feel they have the upper hand. Officer Umphlet has shown us once how she truley is & here she is again doing it again,” she added in her caption.
Notably, her post prompted quick reactions on social media.
“LAWSUIT!!!!! Don’t wait another minute. You aren’t a suspect and they came to you asking for YOUR camera. Don’t sleep on this teach em all a lesson. That’s forcible entry bc you did not give them consent to enter your home,” a commentator wrote under the post.
Another commentator said, “She had no warrant and walked in your home is crazy.. your rights definitely were violated.. i would talk to a lawyer.”
