For the first time, police body camera video reveals what an innocent woman said happened to her nearly two years ago: police officers wrongly entered her home with guns drawn and handcuffed her naked as she watched in horror.

Last year, Anjanette Young filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the video to show the public what happened to her that day. CBS 2 also filed a request for the video. But the Chicago Police Department denied the requests.

Young recently obtained the footage after a court forced CPD to turn it over as part of her lawsuit against police.

I feel like they didnt want us to have this video because they knew how bad it was, Young said. They knew they had done something wrong. They knew that the way they treated me was not right.

Hours before the TV version of this report broadcast, the citys lawyers attempted to stop CBS 2 from airing the video by filing an emergency motion in federal court.

The video reveals on Feb. 21, 2019, nine body cameras rolled as a group of male officers entered her home at 7 p.m. Not long before, the licensed social worker finished her shift at the hospital and had undressed in her bedroom.

Thats when she said she heard a loud, pounding noise.

Outside, officers repeatedly struck her door with a battering ram. From various angles, the video captured the moments they broke down the door and burst through her home.

It was so traumatic to hear the thing that was hitting the door, Young said, as she watched the video. And it happened so fast, I didnt have time to put on clothes.

As they rushed inside with guns drawn, officers yelled, Police search warrant, and Hands up, hands up, hands up. Seconds later, Young could be seen in the living room, shocked and completely naked, with her hands up.

There were big guns, Young remembered. Guns with lights and scopes on them. And they were yelling at me, you know, put your hands up, put your hands up.

Young looked terrified and confused as she watched officers search the home. An officer put her hands behind her back and handcuffed her as she stood naked.

What is going on? Young yelled in the video. Theres nobody else here, I live alone. I mean, what is going on here? Youve got the wrong house. I live alone.

Its one of those moments where I felt I could have died that night, she said. Like if I would have made one wrong move, it felt like they would have shot me. I truly believe they would have shot me.

And like so many other wrong raids CBS 2 uncovered, the one on Youngs home could have been avoided.

Using body camera video and police and court records, CBS 2 pieced together moment by moment not only how Young was treated during the raid, but also how police failed to check the bad tip that led them there.

Young recently agreed to an interview to discuss the body camera video after she first spoke to CBS 2 last year. CBS 2 blurred portions of the video in which Young was unclothed.

With her hands bound behind her back, the video shows an officer wrapped a short coat around her shoulders. But the coat only covered her shoulders and upper back leaving her front completely exposed as she stood against the wall. Officers stood around her home in the kitchen, the living room and the hallways while she remained naked.

It felt like forever to me, she said. It felt like forever.

About two minutes after police entered the home, an officer found a blanket and wrapped it around Young as she sobbed and repeatedly asked officers who they were looking for.

They just threw something over me, and my hands are behind me and Im handcuffed, Young said in an interview. So theres no way for me to secure the blanket around me.

The blanket continued to slide open and expose her body. One video clip shows an officer stood in front of Young but made no attempt to cover her. Another officer walked over and held the blanket closed.

Young continued to beg police for answers.

Tell me whats going on, she cried in the video.

Youve got the wrong house, youve got the wrong house, youve got the wrong house, Young repeated.

Theres no one else who lives in this apartment? the sergeant asked.

No, no one else lives here, Young said.

Young told police at least 43 times they were in the wrong home. She repeatedly asked them to allow her to get dressed and told them she believed they had bad information.

Oh my God, this cannot be right, Young said during the raid. How is this legal?

Police did have bad information, CBS 2 Investigators uncovered, and they failed to do basic checks to confirm whether they had the correct address before getting the search warrant approved.

According to CPDs complaint for search warrant, one day before the raid, a confidential informant told the affiant or lead officer on the raid that he recently saw a 23-year-old man who was a known felon with gun and ammunition.

The document said the officer found a photo of the suspect in a police database and showed it to the informant, who confirmed it was him. The officer then drove the informant to the address where the informant claimed the suspect lived.

Despite no evidence in the complaint that police made efforts to independently verify the informants tip, such as conducting any surveillance or additional checks as required by policy, the search warrant was approved by an assistant states attorney and a judge.

But CBS 2 quickly found, through police and court records, the informant gave police the wrong address. The 23-year-old suspect police were looking for actually lived in the unit next door to Young at the time of the raid and had no connection to her.

CBS 2 also found police could have easily tracked the suspects location and where he really lived because at the time of the raid, he was wearing an electronic monitoring device.

That piece of paper [search warrant] gives them the right to, you know, that says you can do X, Y, Z based on whats on that paper, Young said. So if you get it wrong, you are taking 100 percent control of someone elses life and treating them in a bad way.

The body camera video also raises questions about the approval of the warrant. In one clip, officers in a squad car reviewed their notes and can be heard talking. CPD wouldnt comment when CBS 2 asked what the conversation meant.

It wasnt initially approved or some crap, one officer said.

What does that mean? the second officer asked.

I have no idea, the first officer said. I mean, they told him it was approved, then I guess that person messed up on their end.

Citing an ongoing investigation by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA), CPD also wouldnt comment when CBS 2 asked about the raid or why officers acted solely on an informants tip.

But the video shows Young made multiple attempts to ask CPD some of those same questions.

Who are you looking for? Young asked.

Ive been living here for four years and nobody lives here but me, she yelled.

Im telling you this is wrong, Young continued. I have nothing to do with whoever this person is you are looking for.

This is not the first time police failed to do basic checks that would have contradicted bad information given by an informant. Last year, CBS 2 interviewed the Blassingame family who were wrongly raided by police in 2015. Jalonda Blassingames young sons said officers pointed guns at them, leaving them traumatized, like dozens of other children CBS 2 interviewed as part of its two-year investigative series.

To me, its the treatment of the woman that gets me. Like sure, youre given wrong info and get the wrong home.

But just like laying a knee on someone for minutes, there has to be a severe lack of empathy for people to just waltz around a naked, sobbing woman and not try to realize whats really happening or make sure shes properly addressed.

Its that callousness that really makes me angry.

Seriously, it's insanely frustrating. I hope she gets a big settlement for this, but I doubt she will because it would also be an indictment of the legal system that allowed this warrant to be issued in the first place. Fuck our justice system.

They have a lack of accountability not present in other job roles. They can do anything they want without consequence, and when there are consequences, they get backed up by their force.

Cop wants to shoot out a non-threatening dog dead? They can.

That's why I say being a cop is probably the easiest job ever. Even being a newbie you get preferential treatment no matter how much you screw up.

Any other institution, you'd have to be a senior with 10 years of work to show.

Can't really be blamed for entering the wrong place if they were actually given the wrong address and the tracking on the guy is about as precise as normal GPS, but they definitely give absolutely no care for the woman whatsoever. That's the massive failure in this case, assuming the other details are actually correct.

They should have done surveillance first before the raid. So yes, I do blame them for raiding the wrong address.
