"We're not 100 percent it's you,"
"I refuse to answer questions without my lawyer present,"
"You're not going to jail. We're just here to have a conversation,"
"This is America, right? This is freedom of speech."
Raquel Pacheco, a 51-year-old immigrant, mother, military veteran, and owner of a translation company, recorded two Miami Beach police officers coming to her door on January 12. The officers said they were there to investigate a Facebook post they alleged could "incite somebody to do something." Officers repeatedly asked her to confirm whether a Facebook account and comment were hers while assuring her she was not under arrest. Pacheco invoked her rights and refused to answer questions without a lawyer. Officers read the Facebook comment aloud and explained their concern centered on how others might react, not on an immediate threat by the poster.
