New video footage fromEzra Miller’s arrest in Hawaiishows them correcting law enforcement for using the term “sir” to address them.
Later, one of the law enforcement officers is heard calling Miller “sir,” to which they responded, “I’m sorry, I’m not a sir. I’m transgender nonbinary. Please don’t call me a sir.”
After the officer told Miller, “I was just trying to be respectful,” the actor said, “If you fail to do that again, that is an act of intentional bigotry” and cites “U.S. federal law.”
“Please call me ‘they/them/theirs,’ you can use the term ‘Mx.’ … if you prefer,” Miller added.
Representatives for Miller did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

In a previousnews release, the Hawaii Police Department confirmed Miller was arrested early March 28 andcharged for disorderly conductand harassment over incidents at a karaoke bar in Hawaii.
“Miller began yelling obscenities and at one point grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke and later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts,” added the HPD. “The bar owner asked Miller to calm down several times.”
Last month,Miller pleaded no contestto the disorderly conduct charge from the alleged incident via Zoom call, after which the judge sentenced theFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themstar to pay a $500 fine.
The judge dismissed two additional counts against Miller “with prejudice,” including a harassment charge from the same incident and a separate traffic-obstruction-related complaint. She also ordered Miller to “stay away from” the karaoke bar, Margarita Village, on Silva Street in Hilo, Hawaii.
