Dallas police officers were cautious when a man openly carrying a silenced pistol walked into police headquarters on the morning of April 1.

One officer asked the man what he's looking for and where he works. Another officer turned him away as he tried to enter the headquarters' museum section. Much of the interaction was captured on body camera video.

"Sir, while you're armed you got to step back over there," the officer said. "You can't come in here."

Officers then arrested him outside for jaywalking, towed his car and confiscated his gun for months.

Now the man who took that video, 38-year-old Matthew Rankin, is suing the City of Dallas, police chief Daniel Comeaux and multiple officers on the scene — alleging they violated his Fourth, Second and 14th Amendment rights.
