Latest / The conspiracy / When Dumb Cops Ruin Their Careers In Seconds
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: When dumb cops make mistakes, the consequences can be fatal.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Touch get the We're about to take a look at
- 0:09Speaker 1: four cops who messed up so bad they ruined their
- 0:13Speaker 1: own career in minutes. There are several ways that cops
- 0:16Speaker 1: deal with people who are drunk, and often they can
- 0:18Speaker 1: turn a bad situation around with good policing and the
- 0:21Speaker 1: right attitude. But it seems that this cop forgot all
- 0:24Speaker 1: of his training except for one specific part. Sergeant Police
- 0:28Speaker 1: had been with the Sunrise Police for twenty years and
- 0:31Speaker 1: was about as experienced an officer as you could get,
- 0:34Speaker 1: which makes his actions during an arrest in November twenty
- 0:37Speaker 1: twenty one even more confusing. When he arrived on the scene,
- 0:40Speaker 1: he found his fellow cops in the middle of a struggle.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Harm No, he wasn't want a car in the car,
- 0:56Speaker 2: all right, I'm getting in your feet in.
- 0:59Speaker 1: The suspect had been arrested on Sunset Strip after being
- 1:02Speaker 1: accused of punching another man, and officers are trying to
- 1:04Speaker 1: get him inside the patrol car, but the suspect isn't
- 1:07Speaker 1: playing ball, so Sergeant Police decides his twenty years of
- 1:10Speaker 1: experience is enough to allow him to push other officers
- 1:13Speaker 1: aside and take charge.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Hey hey, hey, look at me, Look at me, Look
- 1:19Speaker 2: at me.
- 1:19Speaker 3: You want to play games, you.
- 1:22Speaker 4: Play with me, Mason.
- 1:26Speaker 1: The suspect decides to comply when the extremely aggressive officer
- 1:30Speaker 1: steps in, and you'd think that'd be where the story ends,
- 1:33Speaker 1: but for some reason, police just gets angrier and angrier,
- 1:36Speaker 1: until one noble cop decides that they just can't stand
- 1:39Speaker 1: by and watch any longer. Disrespectful police had to have
- 1:59Speaker 1: been having a horrible day, as it was his threats
- 2:02Speaker 1: to remove the suspect's soul from his body that prompted
- 2:05Speaker 1: the young female officer to pull him back. This clearly
- 2:08Speaker 1: angered him even further, leading to him grabbing her by
- 2:11Speaker 1: the neck. This was not only illegal and a huge overreaction,
- 2:15Speaker 1: but it was also terrifying for the rookie on the
- 2:17Speaker 1: receiving end.
- 2:23Speaker 4: Yes, sir, and I'll see you in about five minutes
- 2:30Speaker 4: of life.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Police was eventually charged with felony battery of a police officer,
- 2:38Speaker 1: which comes with a heavy punishment. Predictably, he decided to
- 2:42Speaker 1: retire from the Sunrise Police in November twenty twenty two,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and as this videos upload, his case is still ongoing.
- 2:48Speaker 1: This is just one of many examples of how cameras
- 2:51Speaker 1: are essential to police work. But it turns out cameras
- 2:54Speaker 1: are not only used to help catch criminals, but they
- 2:56Speaker 1: can also be used to catch dumb cops in the act.
- 2:59Speaker 1: This is the dash cam from a man in Seabrook, Texas.
- 3:02Speaker 1: He has just been pulled over by a patrol car
- 3:04Speaker 1: and decides to turn his own camera towards him to
- 3:06Speaker 1: record the action in all its corrupt glory.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Why do you pull me over? I'll why can't you
- 3:18Speaker 3: tell me?
- 3:19Speaker 4: Now?
- 3:22Speaker 5: So?
- 3:23Speaker 6: What?
- 3:24Speaker 4: So what?
- 3:24Speaker 7: That's why you pulled me over? Because I'm yelling. Oh,
- 3:28Speaker 7: I don't need help, Thank you, I don't need help.
- 3:32Speaker 1: You might be wondering why the driver is being so defensive.
- 3:35Speaker 1: It all started a few seconds earlier when the driver
- 3:37Speaker 1: yelled an expletive at the officer from his vehicle. Despite
- 3:40Speaker 1: this not being illegal, the officer decided to follow him,
- 3:43Speaker 1: and when the driver signaled to turn, he was pulled.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Overlay crap, I can't see that. Well, it doesn't matter here.
- 3:58Speaker 3: I don't wish to answer the place.
- 4:04Speaker 4: I did.
- 4:06Speaker 7: When you remain the identification I have to display these
- 4:11Speaker 7: that's what they don't mean.
- 4:12Speaker 3: That's what they lost, says.
- 4:13Speaker 1: There are two major mistakes that the officer has already made. Firstly,
- 4:17Speaker 1: he claimed he had pulled the driver over for shouting
- 4:20Speaker 1: out of his car window, but then claim to have
- 4:22Speaker 1: pulled him over to check if he was mentally okay.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Most people know that free speech is protected under the
- 4:28Speaker 1: First Amendment, and passively yelling curse words is completely legal
- 4:31Speaker 1: in America, But when the driver challenges this, the officer
- 4:35Speaker 1: suddenly changes his story and claims he pulled them over
- 4:38Speaker 1: for making the turn. The turn was perfectly legal, making
- 4:41Speaker 1: this stop completely unnecessary for a totally different reason. Luckily,
- 4:45Speaker 1: the driver is well aware of this, unless this dumb
- 4:48Speaker 1: cop show himself up on his dash cam for the
- 4:50Speaker 1: whole world to see.
- 4:53Speaker 3: No, you don't know because you can't smell my breath.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Oh really, I don't think so.
- 5:03Speaker 5: Huh.
- 5:04Speaker 3: You told me where I was coming from? Are you
- 5:07Speaker 3: done with this? All right? Court?
- 5:11Speaker 7: I don't answer questions I have already told you. Let
- 5:13Speaker 7: me know when I'm free to go. Also, what is
- 5:16Speaker 7: your name? Your name sheriff, that's your name, sheriff. I
- 5:23Speaker 7: am not familiar with the English alphabet sir.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Okay, can I have? Can I have? An incident number. Please,
- 5:31Speaker 3: oh I TK. Okay, Now the.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Cop is playing hardball and refusing to give the driver
- 5:36Speaker 1: his name. But once again, this cop is completely incorrect,
- 5:40Speaker 1: as Texas law requires an officer to provide their identification
- 5:43Speaker 1: when asked by a member of the public.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Okay, did I did I exit the vehicle? Vehicle? Did
- 5:56Speaker 3: I exit vehicle?
- 5:58Speaker 4: Can I you do?
- 6:00Speaker 3: Give a dash gun?
- 6:01Speaker 1: Right?
- 6:01Speaker 3: Very good? You can't just pull me over because I
- 6:04Speaker 3: said the police. I hope you realized that, scupid? Your
- 6:08Speaker 3: address sixteen twenty two is any question? I do I
- 6:13Speaker 3: answer questions? And why would you do that? Did you
- 6:21Speaker 3: read as on the driver license an apartment number?
- 6:25Speaker 4: Of course?
- 6:26Speaker 3: Does you've already seen me? I've already complied with that part. Okay, Yeah,
- 6:36Speaker 3: I said that.
- 6:36Speaker 8: I've never met anybody quite like you that would yell
- 6:38Speaker 8: at an officer doing their job.
- 6:40Speaker 4: But so.
- 6:43Speaker 3: May I ask you a question?
- 6:44Speaker 1: Though you can see by the body language of the
- 6:46Speaker 1: officer just how defensive he's become over having his authority challenged.
- 6:49Speaker 1: He's tried every trick in the book to try and
- 6:51Speaker 1: outsmart this driver, but nothing's working, leading to the worst
- 6:55Speaker 1: mistake of the whole interaction.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Questions on there's address? Yeah, no, I have a question here.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Can you get your supervisor here? Please? Is this stopover
- 7:06Speaker 3: all right? Well you said the stop is.
- 7:11Speaker 9: Over right, Okay, I'm not getting out I would okay,
- 7:18Speaker 9: there is no need to draw your web on man.
- 7:20Speaker 9: Are you throwing your web on you? I didn't get
- 7:25Speaker 9: out of the carry You told me that already a
- 7:27Speaker 9: warning for what.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Failed to signal return indicator within one country.
- 7:37Speaker 1: When the officer said the traffic stop was over, he
- 7:40Speaker 1: also ordered the driver to stay inside his car, which
- 7:42Speaker 1: he complied with. You have to wonder whether this cop
- 7:44Speaker 1: can get anything right. And after this stop was over,
- 7:47Speaker 1: the driver filed the complaint and is also due to
- 7:49Speaker 1: file a lawsuit. If you thought that cop was clueless,
- 7:52Speaker 1: these next two officers are so dumb they allow themselves
- 7:55Speaker 1: to be recorded discussing how to lock up an innocent
- 7:58Speaker 1: man almost.
- 8:00Speaker 8: Side of the road legally parked with a sign, which
- 8:03Speaker 8: is protected by the First Amendment.
- 8:04Speaker 1: When officers see a man holding up a sign on
- 8:06Speaker 1: the side of the road in March of twenty twenty two,
- 8:09Speaker 1: they decided to pull over and check it out. The
- 8:11Speaker 1: man named Jonathan was warning drivers of the speed trap
- 8:15Speaker 1: that they were about to drive past. These two officers
- 8:17Speaker 1: took offence big time.
- 8:19Speaker 3: Where else does I'm gonna do it right here?
- 8:21Speaker 5: Where?
- 8:22Speaker 2: So not?
- 8:22Speaker 3: I have drivers coming up to speed telling me that
- 8:25Speaker 3: you're jumping out in strift.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Because apparently they're erroneous.
- 8:28Speaker 6: I don't give it what somebody else says.
- 8:30Speaker 3: What did you witness?
- 8:31Speaker 1: Fuck nothing of the sort, So keep your to yourself, pal.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Traffic findes make up a percentage of police department's budget,
- 8:39Speaker 1: and these Delaware cops didn't want Jonathan to stand in
- 8:41Speaker 1: their way of that crucial source of income. But Jonathan
- 8:45Speaker 1: isn't accepting their claims that he's been walking into the
- 8:47Speaker 1: road and stands his ground.
- 8:49Speaker 8: You keep saying jumping in traffic?
- 8:51Speaker 3: When did you witness this offense? Come, George, don't you
- 8:54Speaker 3: came to me.
- 8:55Speaker 4: You came to me.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Damn, you came to me.
- 8:59Speaker 8: You came to me, tell me that you're so they
- 9:03Speaker 8: want to let your boots, let them run.
- 9:06Speaker 3: You don't put your hands on me.
- 9:08Speaker 1: But what one officer does next may have completely violated
- 9:11Speaker 1: this citizen's right to express himself.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Can you don't put your hands on this?
- 9:16Speaker 4: Do not.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Give me my property back? Piece of give me my
- 9:24Speaker 3: property back. You see this to tyrant pieces?
- 9:28Speaker 1: What are your badge numbers?
- 9:30Speaker 3: Step back? You can't welcome. No, you stole my property.
- 9:34Speaker 3: Did you see anything in my hands? I have a
- 9:37Speaker 3: nice day.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Jonathan goes on to tell the officers that he's going
- 9:41Speaker 1: to be right back here with a new sign as
- 9:43Speaker 1: soon as he can. As he drives away, he makes
- 9:45Speaker 1: an insulting hand gesture towards the cops, and of course
- 9:48Speaker 1: they pull him over for it. What happens over the
- 9:50Speaker 1: course of this traffic stop is not just dumb, it's
- 9:53Speaker 1: downright corrupt.
- 9:54Speaker 8: You're stopping me for constitutionally protected speech, right because you
- 9:57Speaker 8: had your finger your hand out the window.
- 10:00Speaker 3: This is what I did.
- 10:01Speaker 2: You got a problem with that?
- 10:02Speaker 6: Listen to me.
- 10:03Speaker 3: No, no, no, all right, listen, go away.
- 10:07Speaker 2: That is called.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Freedom of speech, do you no, no, no, no, you're
- 10:13Speaker 3: probably people it is. Here's what's going to going to
- 10:18Speaker 3: I want your supervisor, the supervisor. I am the supervisor.
- 10:23Speaker 1: That's why I am here. Both officers seem to be
- 10:25Speaker 1: stumbling over exactly what they have pulled them over for,
- 10:28Speaker 1: and it's honestly starting to look embarrassing at this point.
- 10:30Speaker 3: And I'm going to take you to court. Here's what
- 10:32Speaker 3: I'm saying. To take it to court.
- 10:33Speaker 6: That's what I want you to do.
- 10:35Speaker 3: That's what I want.
- 10:35Speaker 8: I want you to take it to court. But before
- 10:37Speaker 8: me any father, you're pulling me over for what? Because
- 10:40Speaker 8: you had cond your finger, that's only conduct. That's what's
- 10:43Speaker 8: about to happen. You're about to be arrested again for
- 10:46Speaker 8: resisting arrest. I'm not resisting right now, you're right now,
- 10:50Speaker 8: you're you're being detained for Why you're being detained?
- 10:53Speaker 3: You why I stopped you already putting my middle finger up.
- 10:56Speaker 3: That's right, you extended your arm out the way.
- 11:00Speaker 1: No, I have my middle finger out the window.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Let's get let's get. You had your middle finger out
- 11:04Speaker 3: the windows.
- 11:04Speaker 1: It appears the officers are trying to arrest him on
- 11:07Speaker 1: any charges they can, and when that doesn't work, they
- 11:10Speaker 1: resort to dirty tricks.
- 11:12Speaker 4: The next thing to do.
- 11:13Speaker 3: We're going to take you in.
- 11:14Speaker 4: We're to the car.
- 11:15Speaker 3: Will cut call from Social service is pretty key. So
- 11:18Speaker 3: now you're threatening. Now you're threatening. Pro you're threatening. I'm
- 11:23Speaker 3: telling you what's going to have to you or the officer?
- 11:25Speaker 1: Right, he's just threatened to get Social services involved and
- 11:28Speaker 1: have Jonathan's child taken away from him. What makes this
- 11:31Speaker 1: case even more shocking is the fact that these two
- 11:34Speaker 1: cops plan to lock him up whatever it took, and
- 11:36Speaker 1: it was all recorded on their own dash camp.
- 11:39Speaker 5: I'm telling you, if you put your all out the road,
- 11:42Speaker 5: your hand out the road, and you're like with.
- 11:45Speaker 4: A middle finger, you could that's like a isn't that.
- 11:49Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure?
- 11:50Speaker 7: Be sure about that?
- 11:54Speaker 5: Give given him again for giving the middle finger.
- 12:01Speaker 3: So I can't do that.
- 12:02Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't get dropped, Yeah, get right, told him
- 12:04Speaker 5: his DES's gonna get thrown out. But it's just going,
- 12:06Speaker 5: you know, let's go cause the problem.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Even after they're told by their supervisor that the charges
- 12:10Speaker 1: will be thrown out, they still have a grand plan
- 12:13Speaker 1: to put Jonathan in handcuffs.
- 12:15Speaker 5: Right, yeah, something like that that I'll fly or I mean,
- 12:18Speaker 5: yeah you can't. We can't pull people over, we can't
- 12:22Speaker 5: write a ticket fore us off, giving us.
- 12:25Speaker 3: A mental finger and stuff like that.
- 12:27Speaker 5: Yeah, you know that's that's the right to do.
- 12:30Speaker 8: So.
- 12:30Speaker 2: Yeah, but all right, I'll.
- 12:33Speaker 4: See some more work up on this guy, and uh uh,
- 12:37Speaker 4: I'm passing on.
- 12:38Speaker 5: And then number two, yeah, he you know, we have
- 12:41Speaker 5: no real basis, Yeah, even he's gonna do something stupid
- 12:46Speaker 5: when day where we are going to be able to
- 12:47Speaker 5: lock him up for this only conduct or.
- 12:50Speaker 8: And I just wish we had the witness and and.
- 12:53Speaker 5: Even had it on video.
- 12:54Speaker 1: In the end, Jonathan filed a lawsuit against the officers,
- 12:57Speaker 1: saying they violated his constitutional rights by preventing him from
- 13:01Speaker 1: warning motorists about a speed trap. In September twenty twenty three,
- 13:04Speaker 1: he won the case and was awarded a fifty thousand
- 13:07Speaker 1: dollars settlement sum. Nobody likes bad cops, so it's even
- 13:11Speaker 1: more satisfying when a good cop takes one down, which
- 13:14Speaker 1: is exactly what happened next. On January fourteenth, twenty twenty one,
- 13:18Speaker 1: a resident of Harnett County, North Carolina reported her dirt
- 13:21Speaker 1: bike as stolen. What followed was a series of events
- 13:24Speaker 1: that led to an innocent fourteen year old being treated
- 13:27Speaker 1: like a dirty criminal.
- 13:28Speaker 4: Okay, give me a favorite mane go and put das
- 13:30Speaker 4: Mae back homete.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Sixteen days after the dirt bike was reported missing, it
- 13:35Speaker 1: appeared on Facebook marketplace, and when the owners saw this,
- 13:38Speaker 1: they set up a meeting with the seller in order
- 13:40Speaker 1: to catch them out When they arrived, they were met
- 13:42Speaker 1: by fourteen year old Malcolm, who did indeed have their
- 13:45Speaker 1: dirt bike. They agreed to a deal and told Malcolm
- 13:48Speaker 1: that they were headed out to an ATM machine to
- 13:50Speaker 1: get the cash out, when in fact they were calling
- 13:52Speaker 1: nine to one one. The problem here was Malcolm was
- 13:55Speaker 1: completely innocent and had bought the dirt bike off the
- 13:57Speaker 1: true criminal in good faith without realizing it was stolen.
- 14:01Speaker 1: He had made a hobby of fixing up bikes and
- 14:03Speaker 1: selling them on, an impressive hustle for one so young,
- 14:06Speaker 1: so you can imagine his surprise when, instead of finding
- 14:08Speaker 1: himself in profit, he found himself in handcuffs.
- 14:12Speaker 4: Okay, what's your name, Malcolm? What's your last name? Malcolm Zigler? Okay,
- 14:17Speaker 4: you got your idea on you Okay.
- 14:20Speaker 3: But that wasn't us right. We don't read it all
- 14:22Speaker 3: this week?
- 14:23Speaker 4: Where do you? Where do you say you stay here? Okay?
- 14:26Speaker 3: I haven't read it all today. He GOODA just can't
- 14:28Speaker 3: buy here.
- 14:29Speaker 4: Mhm. Who's that guy? Who that guy running down the street?
- 14:34Speaker 3: Say something out there?
- 14:35Speaker 4: Okay, give me a favorite man, go and put a
- 14:37Speaker 4: man back for me. Okay, I did You're in posession
- 14:42Speaker 4: of a stolen motor vehicle. What do you want to
- 14:46Speaker 4: go and verify that for me? What give me a favorite, man,
- 14:50Speaker 4: Just come to my car right over here. Okay.
- 14:54Speaker 3: Can I get the bill of selling and show you
- 14:55Speaker 3: that I bought it?
- 14:56Speaker 4: Yeah, well, we'll get all that taken care of.
- 14:57Speaker 7: Man.
- 14:58Speaker 4: But what I what I need to do is just
- 14:59Speaker 4: hang type for me here.
- 15:00Speaker 1: The officer places him under arrest without verifying any of
- 15:03Speaker 1: the facts. He had no way of knowing if Malcolm
- 15:06Speaker 1: was in fact in possession of stolen goods, and spent
- 15:09Speaker 1: no time attempting to hear his side of the story.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna work on getting you out of those soon. Okay.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Just keep walkering with me. I appreciate it, and well
- 15:19Speaker 4: we'll get it. I don't and sir, I'm trying to
- 15:22Speaker 4: find and I'm not saying that you stole it. Right now,
- 15:26Speaker 4: what we've got is we've just got a stolen motor vehicle.
- 15:29Speaker 4: We're not saying that you stole the vehicle. Okay, I'm
- 15:31Speaker 4: not saying that at all. Okay, but it still is
- 15:34Speaker 4: a crime to be in possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
- 15:36Speaker 1: The officer claims it is illegal to be in possession
- 15:39Speaker 1: of a stolen vehicle, which may be true in most cases,
- 15:42Speaker 1: but not here. If a suspect willingly buys or owns
- 15:45Speaker 1: an item that they know is stolen, then that is
- 15:48Speaker 1: a crime. But since Malcolm was ignorant to this fact,
- 15:51Speaker 1: he was totally innocent, and this arrest could prove to
- 15:54Speaker 1: be extremely unlawful.
- 15:56Speaker 3: And I can tell you. I can show you. If
- 15:57Speaker 3: you can go on my phone, I can show you. Okay,
- 16:02Speaker 3: we met at the Lillington Presbyterian Church.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Okay, if you know where that is, okay, or your
- 16:09Speaker 4: dad's coming over here right now.
- 16:10Speaker 3: It's about eight thirty we met.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Hey, how are you doing? Sir? Hey? Then I need
- 16:16Speaker 4: to reading all this is going down. Pat Bugles manator
- 16:20Speaker 4: a stolen International Crime Information Center. Do you have the
- 16:23Speaker 4: bill of sale binding? Cancer?
- 16:24Speaker 3: I don't know what it is? Season in my room.
- 16:30Speaker 1: As Malcolm's father tries to find proof his son bought
- 16:33Speaker 1: the bike legally, two other responding officers begin to voice
- 16:36Speaker 1: their concerns over what is happening in front of their
- 16:38Speaker 1: very eyes.
- 16:41Speaker 10: From what I heard ten ninety five, and that was
- 16:43Speaker 10: before I even verified the van, okay, But the first
- 16:47Speaker 10: thing I asked that's that's what now. I'm not one
- 16:50Speaker 10: hundredercent certain, but I believe I heard ten night. I
- 16:53Speaker 10: heard essentially two ninety five before I was even able
- 16:56Speaker 10: to verify the van.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Eventually, one of them decides to enter.
- 17:00Speaker 4: He's attained right now because he is he's fourteen. Yes, okay,
- 17:07Speaker 4: so I already claimed him. He's detained right now. I
- 17:09Speaker 4: told him that he detained because that's a sting under vehicle. Okay,
- 17:17Speaker 4: So I mean dig verified the the number, right? Did you?
- 17:21Speaker 4: Was that before? All that that he verified before you?
- 17:24Speaker 4: If I detained him and the ten, he's detained, okay, so.
