Latest / The conspiracy / Evil Cop Realizes He Ran Over Someone
Transcript
- 0:07Speaker 1: This cop just ran over an innocent civilian, killing her instantly.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Here is his coworker trying to justify his actions.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I mean, he's going fifty. That's not out of control,
- 0:17Speaker 2: that's not reckless for a trained driver. But she is dead.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Even worse, he's just been caught laughing and joking about
- 0:26Speaker 1: this girl being killed, all while he thought his bodycam
- 0:29Speaker 1: was off.
- 0:29Speaker 2: She was twenty six anyway, she had limited value sho.
- 0:33Speaker 1: The cops get caught out like this all the time,
- 0:35Speaker 1: Like when this cop was caught on her bodycam ready
- 0:38Speaker 1: killing a mentally ill woman.
- 0:40Speaker 3: I'm gonna kick this door down and rip you out
- 0:42Speaker 3: of there.
- 0:42Speaker 4: Hello, my job.
- 0:44Speaker 1: And this officer is so corrupt he outright begged his
- 0:47Speaker 1: partner to disable his camera with evil intentions. Yeah we're hot,
- 0:53Speaker 1: but let's first take a look at the cops caught
- 0:55Speaker 1: for stealing thousands of dollars of property from an innocent man.
- 0:58Speaker 1: The officers were supposed to be collecting his property as
- 1:01Speaker 1: part of an eviction notice to return to him later.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Sheriff Traylor Harris and Sheriff Banks were part of the
- 1:07Speaker 1: team sent to help with an eviction in Missouri, but
- 1:09Speaker 1: they decided they were just gonna help themselves to the
- 1:11Speaker 1: expensive watches and jewelry to cover. They tried to turn
- 1:15Speaker 1: their body cams off. Officer Banks. Instead of turning it off,
- 1:18Speaker 1: she turned hers back on.
- 1:20Speaker 5: Hold on, don't come down here, you see she I?
- 1:48Speaker 5: Hold on, yeah, some more money.
- 1:53Speaker 1: This is more like a burglary than an eviction. In
- 1:56Speaker 1: order for law enforcement to become involved with an eviction,
- 1:58Speaker 1: the landlord must obtain a writ of restitution that gives
- 2:01Speaker 1: a tenant a certain amount of days to vacate the property.
- 2:04Speaker 1: If they fail to leave, the cops get involved to
- 2:06Speaker 1: assist in the moving process. We should be able to
- 2:09Speaker 1: trust that they'll do their job and resist the temptation
- 2:11Speaker 1: to help themselves. But for these cops, it was time
- 2:14Speaker 1: to unload what they just looted open. I need to
- 2:20Speaker 1: go in the car for me.
- 2:22Speaker 5: I need to go in your car for me.
- 2:24Speaker 6: That's okay.
- 2:53Speaker 1: At this point, these cops have no legal base to
- 2:56Speaker 1: justify their actions. During an eviction, officers may have legal
- 2:59Speaker 1: ground to remove personal items from the rental unit. However,
- 3:02Speaker 1: they must follow certain procedures set out by law regarding
- 3:06Speaker 1: storage and disposal of the property. In this case, however,
- 3:08Speaker 1: all we see them do is take items with fiscal
- 3:11Speaker 1: value and considering the whispered tone of their conversation, these
- 3:15Speaker 1: actions lack any legal justification, But it's what they do
- 3:19Speaker 1: and say next that will be their ultimate downfall.
- 3:23Speaker 5: That's the best. Okay, what was it you said about
- 3:29Speaker 5: last night? So would hae to sanitize it? You're still
- 3:37Speaker 5: in here? Someone else ocala they out in Dick's.
- 3:56Speaker 6: Well.
- 4:02Speaker 5: When they can come in and start moving? I said
- 4:06Speaker 5: the two hours, I guess the start. Whenever they come
- 4:08Speaker 5: in to move, I'm not to do.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Not only did these officers just rummage through and steal
- 4:16Speaker 1: whatever they wanted, but now they're searching through the tenant's
- 4:19Speaker 1: purse without any prior consent or probable cause. After treating themselves,
- 4:24Speaker 1: they finally let the tenants back inside to remove their
- 4:27Speaker 1: personal belongings. A week later, the owner filed a theft report,
- 4:31Speaker 1: sparking the investigation that discovered the accidental bodycam footage. In
- 4:35Speaker 1: December twenty twenty two, Traylor Harris was convicted on charges
- 4:38Speaker 1: of theft by a public servant and was given five
- 4:41Speaker 1: years probation and a ten thousand dollars fine. Banks managed
- 4:44Speaker 1: to make a plea deal for a misdemeanor charge to
- 4:46Speaker 1: avoid prison time, and both have been fired from the
- 4:49Speaker 1: police force. However, this evil cop ridiculed a mentally ill
- 4:53Speaker 1: woman after threatening to tasee her, all without turning off
- 4:55Speaker 1: her bodycam.
- 4:57Speaker 2: You want to get tased.
- 5:00Speaker 1: When Tulsa police officers respond to a nine to one
- 5:03Speaker 1: one call, they find a woman has locked herself inside
- 5:05Speaker 1: a store's bathroom and is refusing to leave inside that
- 5:08Speaker 1: bathroom's seventy year old but Donna, and she's in the
- 5:10Speaker 1: middle of a major mental health crisis.
- 5:13Speaker 5: Also, please can you open the door?
- 5:14Speaker 1: Wella donna, can you open the door?
- 5:17Speaker 3: So if you open the door, we're have to bust
- 5:18Speaker 3: it down, Okay, you and they want you off this
- 5:23Speaker 3: property like that?
- 5:25Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
- 5:26Speaker 5: She won't even talk, so I'll try. She won't come out,
- 5:30Speaker 5: she won't open the door.
- 5:31Speaker 4: We have like a crisis team that they're busy right
- 5:34Speaker 4: now that handle it.
- 5:35Speaker 1: But like mental health, the store manager has every right
- 5:39Speaker 1: to ask the woman to leave, and her refusal now
- 5:41Speaker 1: makes this a potential case of trespassing. But with such
- 5:44Speaker 1: a mentally unstable woman involved, these comps need to try
- 5:47Speaker 1: and avoid a confrontation. Unfortunately, that's not what Officer Croatia
- 5:51Speaker 1: has in mind when she arrives on the scene with
- 5:53Speaker 1: a big mouth and a bad attitude. How about let's get.
- 5:56Speaker 5: This out of here, because that's not she's spent air fresher.
- 6:01Speaker 6: Look, you can see it.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Yes, any point in time, we're gotta be ready for
- 6:06Speaker 3: her to open that door and be fight because she
- 6:09Speaker 3: seems pretty The property owners want you to leave. They
- 6:12Speaker 3: say that your band.
- 6:13Speaker 5: So if you come out and leave.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Because you won't come out of the bathroom, they want
- 6:18Speaker 3: you to leave. They said, you've been here for four hours.
- 6:25Speaker 3: Either you can come out and leave, or you can
- 6:27Speaker 3: come out and go to jail. So you get to choose, gotcha? Okay,
- 6:33Speaker 3: well I'm not getting lh Yeah you be Hereti's eleven.
- 6:36Speaker 3: So either you leave on your own.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Officer Croatia might have forgotten her every move is being
- 6:46Speaker 1: filmed by another officer as she jokes and laughs about
- 6:49Speaker 1: a mentally ill woman on the other side of that door.
- 6:51Speaker 1: But they do have a way to solve this problem
- 6:53Speaker 1: peacefully after La Donna says she'll leave if the store
- 6:56Speaker 1: manager asks her. The problem is she isn't on site.
- 7:00Speaker 1: What the cops came up with an alternative.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Hello, job, you guys are gonna need new air fresh
- 7:08Speaker 3: and or I hope you don't mind. Oh kay, it's
- 7:13Speaker 3: unlocked and I can feel like the tension from her.
- 7:15Speaker 4: Hand just holding it literally just.
- 7:18Speaker 5: Yeah, she runs out of air fresher.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Yeah when she because I want you to leave and
- 7:28Speaker 3: I gave you a chance, you come out on your own.
- 7:29Speaker 4: Are you going to jail?
- 7:30Speaker 1: It's then discovered that Madonna has an aerosol can and
- 7:33Speaker 1: a cigarette lighter in the bathroom with her, and Officer
- 7:35Speaker 1: Karasia is convinced that she's going to use it to
- 7:38Speaker 1: light the whole place up if they don't get her
- 7:40Speaker 1: out of there soon. As serious as this is becoming,
- 7:42Speaker 1: Officer Karasha seems to be enjoying herself a little too much.
- 7:46Speaker 3: I'm gonna kick this door down and rip you out
- 7:49Speaker 3: of there.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Jesus, this is just what I wanted to for the
- 7:53Speaker 1: first day.
- 7:54Speaker 3: I called Gody, Hey, someone needs to use the restroom.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Can you open the door for them to use the restaurant?
- 8:02Speaker 6: Kill me?
- 8:06Speaker 1: I don't even know what this lady looks like.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Is she wide?
- 8:08Speaker 5: I have no idea?
- 8:15Speaker 4: What are you doing?
- 8:23Speaker 1: How am I going to be her.
- 8:24Speaker 5: Are you gonna stab me?
- 8:25Speaker 3: Do you have any weapons with donna? We have not that,
- 8:34Speaker 3: so you don't have any weapons in there.
- 8:37Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 8:37Speaker 3: You might have a knife and try to stab me.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 8:42Speaker 1: But the approach Officer Croatia is taking obviously isn't working,
- 8:45Speaker 1: and it's only making the donna's behavior even worse and
- 8:48Speaker 1: it's not going to get any easier when she threatens
- 8:51Speaker 1: to unleash her taser, So.
- 8:53Speaker 3: You're gonna get pepper sprayed and that's gonna be a
- 8:55Speaker 3: good time. So just to let you know, either you
- 8:57Speaker 3: open the door or you get pepper sprayed.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Even like it crack yeah right there.
- 9:02Speaker 3: See's crackling here like yeah, spray right here.
- 9:16Speaker 4: But she needs to go to Joe for arson.
- 9:18Speaker 6: She's trying to start a fire. You're gonna have to
- 9:22Speaker 6: shoot me.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Now we're gonna have to go hands on and three.
- 9:24Speaker 4: To the ground because.
- 9:27Speaker 5: Finally, now it's about time.
- 9:30Speaker 1: That's the sound of reinforcements arriving at the scene. It
- 9:33Speaker 1: looks like Officer Karatia is about to get her wish
- 9:35Speaker 1: and finally get her hands on the donna. It's only
- 9:37Speaker 1: moments after another officer arrives that they're finally coming face
- 9:41Speaker 1: to face with a desperate suspect, because.
- 9:43Speaker 3: What's quid and busted in spare we're gonna bust and
- 9:46Speaker 3: go hands on, Because we're gonna to go hands on.
- 9:48Speaker 2: She's already like.
- 9:52Speaker 6: A seed.
- 9:52Speaker 7: Okay, yep, shout her hand. Nay, yeah, that was unnecessary.
- 10:06Speaker 3: We didn't have to do any of this.
- 10:11Speaker 7: The blood.
- 10:12Speaker 6: This is not right.
- 10:16Speaker 2: This is not right.
- 10:17Speaker 5: We told you multiple times. Come on, it's not nice.
- 10:22Speaker 1: I gave you the chance.
- 10:25Speaker 2: You cannot rest.
- 10:26Speaker 7: I said, sit down, I said don will I will you.
- 10:33Speaker 1: When the footage of this arrest went viral, it caused outrage,
- 10:37Speaker 1: but although the police department said the officer's conduct was
- 10:40Speaker 1: highly unprofessional, no action was taken against anyone involved. Thankfully,
- 10:45Speaker 1: there were other officers around to keep Officer Croatia from
- 10:48Speaker 1: getting out of control. Unlike this next case, where a
- 10:50Speaker 1: deputy decides to frame an innocent woman for possession of
- 10:53Speaker 1: narcotics when he thinks nobody's looking, So.
- 10:56Speaker 4: You're wanted to do today for possion me.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Officer Wester is no stranger to controversy, and this is
- 11:03Speaker 1: one of three cases that lended him in a world
- 11:06Speaker 1: of trouble and proves precisely why many people don't trust
- 11:09Speaker 1: the police. Wester pulled over a vehicle containing a couple
- 11:12Speaker 1: and three kids for seemingly no reason whatsoever. He decided
- 11:16Speaker 1: he was going to frame someone in this car as
- 11:18Speaker 1: a drug addict and concoct a makebelief story which will
- 11:21Speaker 1: all be captured on his own body camera. He's going
- 11:24Speaker 1: to say he's found evidence of meth inside the vehicle,
- 11:26Speaker 1: while the couple's three terrified children are crying in the
- 11:29Speaker 1: back seat on the outside. It seems as though Wester
- 11:32Speaker 1: is playing everything by the books, but when he gets
- 11:34Speaker 1: back to his patrol vehicle, he reveals on his body
- 11:36Speaker 1: cam exactly what he's really thinking.
- 11:39Speaker 4: I love him and I don't pull tripping out up there.
- 11:43Speaker 4: So hey, all right, I found your stuff. Look, we
- 11:47Speaker 4: made traffic stops out here for drug interdiction purposes. Okay,
- 11:50Speaker 4: is there anything illegal in they to concerned at bombs, handgrenads,
- 11:53Speaker 4: anything like that.
- 11:53Speaker 6: Okay, do this for me.
- 11:54Speaker 4: I know it's hot to switch the car off real
- 11:56Speaker 4: quick and just man as soon as he finished, and
- 11:59Speaker 4: you can turn it back on. It's just that a
- 12:00Speaker 4: miss up the dog's nose. If he smells the fumes. Now,
- 12:03Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep the traffic office a little bit in
- 12:05Speaker 4: the roadway and let him do his thing. I do
- 12:11Speaker 4: this twenty thirty times a shift. Man make traffic styles,
- 12:14Speaker 4: we deploy the CA nine. It's nothing personal at all, man,
- 12:22Speaker 4: boy more.
- 12:22Speaker 1: At in Florida, police don't necessarily have the right to
- 12:26Speaker 1: search your vehicle. But if a canine unit was to
- 12:28Speaker 1: detect the sense of drugs, then that gives cops the
- 12:31Speaker 1: probable cause they need to perform a search. But there's
- 12:34Speaker 1: an argument about the reliability of CAN nine units and
- 12:37Speaker 1: the ability for cops to simply lie and say that
- 12:40Speaker 1: the dog flagged when it really didn't. And that's exactly
- 12:43Speaker 1: what Western's plan is.
- 12:45Speaker 4: All right, man, Look, that was a positive alert to
- 12:48Speaker 4: the odor of narcotics emitting from the from the interior
- 12:50Speaker 4: to the vehicle. That does give me probable colls to
- 12:52Speaker 4: search vehicle. Okay, all right, I know we've got some
- 12:54Speaker 4: babies back there, and I know it's hot outside. I
- 12:57Speaker 4: am going to search the vehicle. How hard would it
- 13:00Speaker 4: be for you got to get the kids out and
- 13:02Speaker 4: hang out with them real quickly. That's not gonna hop out,
- 13:07Speaker 4: That's right. Man by the call car, y'all just hang time.
- 13:19Speaker 1: That pill bottle is what Wester is going to use
- 13:21Speaker 1: to set this couple up. It's a legitimate medication, but
- 13:24Speaker 1: Wester is about to test the substance in a bottle
- 13:26Speaker 1: and completely fake the results on camera.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Man, it's hot, But do y'all use e cedrin? Hey,
- 13:41Speaker 4: don't mind pay this gentleman and the kids just up
- 13:44Speaker 4: to the van up there. I need to have a
- 13:45Speaker 4: conversation lady right here. Yeah, absolutely, and they can turn
- 13:56Speaker 4: the ear on. That's fine, kay.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Western's just performed a field drugs test. The test came
- 14:05Speaker 1: out pink, and it was picked up on his body
- 14:08Speaker 1: camera despite his efforts to hide it. Pink signifies a
- 14:11Speaker 1: negative test, and now the couple should be free to go.
- 14:14Speaker 1: But he's about to lie and actually become a criminal himself.
- 14:18Speaker 4: You recognize this bottle right here that was in the
- 14:20Speaker 4: trash bag binding champs. Yeah, okay, all right, looking at
- 14:28Speaker 4: this point, you are detained. Okay, all right, I'm gonna
- 14:31Speaker 4: put your handcuff in front of kids or anything like that.
- 14:33Speaker 4: I need to ask you some questions. Okay, that white
- 14:36Speaker 4: little exxedrin bottle okay, bottom corner with the way it was. Physicianed,
- 14:41Speaker 4: I opened it up. There is a crystallized substance in
- 14:44Speaker 4: the bottle of that bottle, in the bottom of it. Okay,
- 14:47Speaker 4: I tested it there. He did return a presumpt to
- 14:49Speaker 4: positive for methamphetamine here on the side.
- 14:52Speaker 6: Of the road.
- 14:53Speaker 4: So my question is right. So my question is, first
- 14:56Speaker 4: of all, is it's yours? Second, do you know where
- 14:58Speaker 4: it came from? He bought it? Okay? Okay, When did
- 15:03Speaker 4: you put that bottle in the bag or did you
- 15:06Speaker 4: put the bottle.
- 15:07Speaker 6: In the back? You just put it in there today?
- 15:09Speaker 4: Is there anything on you narcotics or anything like that?
- 15:11Speaker 5: Nothing.
- 15:12Speaker 4: I don't do anything cigarettes, all right, So you don't.
- 15:15Speaker 4: You don't use any kind of narcotics or anything. Okay,
- 15:18Speaker 4: never have no.
- 15:21Speaker 8: Like I said, I don't mess with that though.
- 15:25Speaker 1: It's no wonder. The female passenger looks stunned as she
- 15:28Speaker 1: has no idea what Wester is talking about. Either she
- 15:31Speaker 1: came into contact with meth through someone else or this
- 15:34Speaker 1: cop is lying y'all.
- 15:36Speaker 4: I mean, have y'all ever had anybody ride in the
- 15:39Speaker 4: vehicle with you at any any chance to go? Because
- 15:41Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest with you, here's where I'm at
- 15:43Speaker 4: right now. Right now, you are in constructive possession.
- 15:45Speaker 8: Of my brother and my sister. Came and my sister
- 15:51Speaker 8: they used to do it, but since she had her
- 15:54Speaker 8: kids taken away. I mean they live in walsall right.
- 15:57Speaker 8: I just went over there to pick up some money
- 15:59Speaker 8: for my mom and just going home.
- 16:03Speaker 4: Let me ask you this question. The driver of this vehicle,
- 16:06Speaker 4: I'm guessing that's your husband. Does he use methaphetamine? Does
- 16:09Speaker 4: he use any kind of illegal narcotics, doesn't smoke weed,
- 16:12Speaker 4: nothing like that?
- 16:13Speaker 6: Okay? All right.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Wester must have thought he was home free when she
- 16:17Speaker 1: mentioned she just visited family and they've had problems with
- 16:20Speaker 1: drug addiction in the past. He's going to use this
- 16:23Speaker 1: to his advantage and tell this innocent woman she's going
- 16:25Speaker 1: to jail while trying to blame it all on her
- 16:28Speaker 1: own family. If she was found guilty of possession of math,
- 16:31Speaker 1: she could face five years in prison and a five
- 16:33Speaker 1: thousand dollars fine.
- 16:35Speaker 4: All right, So you are one to jail to day
- 16:36Speaker 4: for posession of methophetamin because it was on your side
- 16:38Speaker 4: of the vehicle. It was on the bag whenever you
- 16:40Speaker 4: were looking for your idea you had reached in there,
- 16:42Speaker 4: you would touch the bag. Okay, so you are in
- 16:44Speaker 4: possession of that today. All right. What what I'm going
- 16:50Speaker 4: to do though, since that young little boy is looking back,
- 16:52Speaker 4: I'm not going to put you in handcuffs. Okay, nothing
- 16:55Speaker 4: on you, right, all right, going to have a seating
- 16:58Speaker 4: back on my car. A look, man, she's going to
- 17:04Speaker 4: jail for position of mythopetamine. And that excepria bottle that
- 17:08Speaker 4: y'all saw me pull out. Okay, there is a crystally
- 17:10Speaker 4: substance that tested here on the side of the road,
- 17:13Speaker 4: tested presumpt the positive for methamphetamine. That it was in
- 17:18Speaker 4: the bag that I saw her fiddling with whenever she
- 17:22Speaker 4: was looking for her idea. Okay, Now, with all that
- 17:25Speaker 4: being said, by no means am I saying she's a
- 17:28Speaker 4: bad person. Understand, That's not where I'm coming from. The
- 17:31Speaker 4: State of Florida entrusts us to be a fact finder. Okay,
- 17:34Speaker 4: So right now she is in constructive position of methamphetamine. Now,
- 17:37Speaker 4: she told me after I read her her rights, I'm
- 17:40Speaker 4: not gonna read You're right to have no reason to
- 17:41Speaker 4: because you're not detained, you're not under rest or anything
- 17:44Speaker 4: like that. But I do want some clarification if you
- 17:46Speaker 4: can help me out with something. She told me that
- 17:48Speaker 4: y'all were just at a residence in Walsaw with people
- 17:52Speaker 4: that use methamphetamine. Your sister, and so my advice in
- 17:57Speaker 4: the future don't let people that are going down to that, yes, sir,
- 18:01Speaker 4: and let me explain. It's a feeling in the state
- 18:03Speaker 4: of Florida. I don't really have discretion in the state
- 18:06Speaker 4: of Florida.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Brother, Okay, Wester is clearly loving every moment that he
- 18:09Speaker 1: sets up these two innocent people, and he wants to
- 18:11Speaker 1: be there until she's locked away in her jail.
- 18:13Speaker 4: Cell I'm gonna love to deal staff know whenever I
- 18:16Speaker 4: get there, I'm actually I'll walk in with her and
- 18:19Speaker 4: I'll let them know that she's upset and she's scared,
- 18:21Speaker 4: and they might do something in your own hope for
- 18:24Speaker 4: the nights they might go to work something. Right, Listen, man,
- 18:30Speaker 4: I want your word that you'll be careful if you
- 18:32Speaker 4: let around them and be a.
- 18:34Speaker 6: Going back over there. No moment.
- 18:35Speaker 4: Okay, we're not going back over there. No tradition to
- 18:38Speaker 4: get you in your squared away. I'll take okay right now, man,
- 18:42Speaker 4: you are pretty good Hey, if they give you a
- 18:44Speaker 4: drug test, you're gonna pass it, right since you don't
- 18:46Speaker 4: have any kind of criminal history. Sometimes what they can
- 18:50Speaker 4: do is they can give you what's called PTI, which
- 18:53Speaker 4: is pre trial Intervention that if you can go like
- 18:56Speaker 4: a year with random drug tests, it's like the charges
- 18:59Speaker 4: go away. And by no means I'm not saying that's
- 19:01Speaker 4: what they're going to do, because after I drop you
- 19:03Speaker 4: office kind of out of my hands. The biggest takeaway
- 19:06Speaker 4: I'm telling Eagil is, you know you told me that
- 19:09Speaker 4: you were around the people that smith. You've got kids
- 19:12Speaker 4: in the car. Gotta be careful. You can't any people
- 19:14Speaker 4: do that.
- 19:14Speaker 1: The woman was arrested for possession, but the charge was
- 19:17Speaker 1: later dropped. Western would eventually get caught out for his
- 19:20Speaker 1: extremely underhanded tactics and face justice in a courtroom a
- 19:24Speaker 1: few months later. It turns out this wasn't the only
- 19:26Speaker 1: time he'd done this exact thing, and he was sentenced
- 19:29Speaker 1: to up to twelve years for trying to put a
- 19:31Speaker 1: series of completely innocent people in jail on fake charges.
- 19:35Speaker 1: But begging a fellow officer to turn off his body
- 19:38Speaker 1: cam is significantly dumber than what Wester tried.
- 19:41Speaker 4: Yeah, we're hot.
- 19:43Speaker 1: It all starts with a nine to one one call
- 19:45Speaker 1: about a trailer that's been reported stolen in broad daylight.
- 19:48Speaker 1: This trailer's worth ten thousand dollars and its size makes
- 19:51Speaker 1: it easy to spot. But what makes it even easier
- 19:54Speaker 1: is the damage it sustained as it crashed into a
- 19:56Speaker 1: gate during the escape, causing visible marks to one side
- 19:59Speaker 1: of the trailer. A alert is sent out to the
- 20:01Speaker 1: local police, and the trailer is found in no time
- 20:03Speaker 1: at all.
- 20:04Speaker 4: Step out, step out, put your hands on the card.
- 20:08Speaker 1: This trailer showing stolen. Okay, well that's what you got
- 20:12Speaker 1: pulled over for.
- 20:13Speaker 4: That's why you're to tell you. And I'm trying to
- 20:15Speaker 4: figure out what's going on.
- 20:15Speaker 6: Okay, this guy shot out, Stay in this trailer, right, all.
- 20:20Speaker 4: Right, we're trying to get you out. We're gonna walk
- 20:22Speaker 4: back here.
- 20:22Speaker 2: We're gonna have a seat in my car for just
- 20:23Speaker 2: a minute.
- 20:23Speaker 4: And we don't get this figured out, understood all right.
- 20:26Speaker 1: So far everything is being done by the books, and
- 20:29Speaker 1: these cops have probable cause to pull the driver over
- 20:32Speaker 1: who denies stealing the trailer at all. At this traffic
- 20:34Speaker 1: stop is about to become very personal for one officer
- 20:37Speaker 1: who could face some seriously difficult questions for turning his
- 20:40Speaker 1: body camera off while at a crime scene.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Mail driver, female passenger turn, Yeah, we're hot.
- 20:51Speaker 1: We can't shut it down. We got ten fifteen's it's okay,
- 20:55Speaker 1: everything good, just check it out for.
- 21:00Speaker 6: What?
- 21:00Speaker 4: All right?
- 21:02Speaker 6: Well?
- 21:02Speaker 4: Everything is?
- 21:03Speaker 6: It? Is? It?
- 21:04Speaker 1: Is it?
- 21:04Speaker 4: The victim? Well, what's the problem?
- 21:08Speaker 8: Shout?
- 21:08Speaker 4: You shut down the thought with me?
- 21:09Speaker 6: Please? Tim?
- 21:10Speaker 2: Will you stand right here at five? Her guess, I'm sure,
- 21:12Speaker 2: will all right?
- 21:16Speaker 6: Turn it off.
- 21:17Speaker 4: We can't shut the ship off.
- 21:18Speaker 6: There something I need to talk to somebody real quick.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Okay, is there something screwed up with the case or
- 21:25Speaker 2: is this some person?
- 21:27Speaker 5: It's personally okay.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Body cameras are not only crucial in providing evidence in courts,
- 21:37Speaker 1: they are key in maintaining transparency and trust within communities.
- 21:40Speaker 1: But it's unusual for a cop to make a request
- 21:42Speaker 1: like this, but his fellow cop refuses to comply, only
- 21:45Speaker 1: putting his body camera down to find out what the
- 21:47Speaker 1: problem is.
- 21:50Speaker 2: That's not a cop, that's what total handle.
- 21:54Speaker 4: That's nothing to do with the case. All right, let's
- 21:58Speaker 4: go up here, let's slow it down, and let's go
- 22:01Speaker 4: get a statement from him. We'll deal with that in
- 22:03Speaker 4: a minute. Okay, I think shout my damn, I bought
- 22:08Speaker 4: a camera off. He can't kick rocks.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I ain't doing that shit.
- 22:11Speaker 4: I was here during the twenty seventeen to bacle. I
- 22:13Speaker 4: ain't shutting that shit off.
- 22:14Speaker 1: It was never confirmed exactly why the cop wanted the
- 22:17Speaker 1: body cameras turned off so much, but some people think
- 22:20Speaker 1: it was because he knew the suspect and wanted to
- 22:22Speaker 1: tell the officers to call the search off. That cop
- 22:24Speaker 1: did everything he could to avoid being caught on camera,
- 22:27Speaker 1: unlike this next one, who forgot to turn his camera
- 22:30Speaker 1: off and made some truly horrifying comments.
- 22:33Speaker 2: He went up on the hood, hit the windsheel, ex
- 22:35Speaker 2: flew off the car.
- 22:35Speaker 6: But she is dead.
- 22:39Speaker 1: This is Officer Ottier laughing and joking about a woman
- 22:42Speaker 1: who's been innocently killed by police. This footage was captured
- 22:46Speaker 1: a day after a traffic incident in Seattle, where a
- 22:48Speaker 1: woman in her twenties was killed by a police car
- 22:51Speaker 1: speeding to an emergency. The accident itself was nothing more
- 22:54Speaker 1: than a tragedy, as the officer driving was doing over
- 22:57Speaker 1: seventy miles per hour responding to a call that was
- 23:00Speaker 1: described as high priority.
- 23:02Speaker 2: I'm sure. Oh he's good. He says, well, normally we
- 23:05Speaker 2: don't give voluntary statements, and I said, hey, you're gonna
- 23:10Speaker 2: have to decide if you wanted to give a statement
- 23:11Speaker 2: or not. But it does not seem like there's a
- 23:14Speaker 2: criminal investigation going on. He's going fifty. That's not out
- 23:18Speaker 2: of control. That's not reckless for a train driver. Initially,
- 23:21Speaker 2: he says she was in a crosswalk. There's a witness
- 23:24Speaker 2: that says no, she wasn't, But that witness could be
- 23:27Speaker 2: different because I don't think she was thrown forty feet.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Either, even though it was nothing more than an accident.
- 23:32Speaker 1: The officer involved must go through a drug test, and
- 23:35Speaker 1: that test was conducted by Officer Otterer. This appalling lack
- 23:38Speaker 1: of humanity from the officer was captured the day after
- 23:42Speaker 1: when he was caught on camera showing his true colors
- 23:45Speaker 1: while talking about the case.
- 23:46Speaker 2: I think she went up on the hood, hit the windshiel,
- 23:48Speaker 2: then when he hit the brakes, flew off the car.
- 23:52Speaker 1: But she is dead.
- 23:59Speaker 2: No, it's a regular person. Yeah, just write a check. Yeah,
- 24:03Speaker 2: what eleven thousand dollars? She was twenty six. Anyway, she
- 24:06Speaker 2: had limited value.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Officer Oudimer's views are pretty clear, but not if you
- 24:14Speaker 1: ask him. The video was later discovered by an employee
- 24:17Speaker 1: within the Seattle Police Department and turned over for investigation.
- 24:20Speaker 1: David later justified his comments, saying that they were intended
- 24:24Speaker 1: to mock the lawyers that will be involved in the case.
- 24:26Speaker 1: His fate remains unknown at this time. Last we heard,
- 24:29Speaker 1: he was pulled off duty and it was recommended he
- 24:32Speaker 1: would be fired.
