I would imagine the police underestimated this guy because of the way he talks.
Agreed, if auditors are not willing to follow up with legal action then the encounter seems to be nothing more than indulging personal ego.
With that voice He could easily play a character in family guy.
Sometimes I think “if you just stop challenging these idiots…”But then I remember if someone doesn’t have the balls to challenge them, they’re control could turn bad in the future
Uhm, if our bases/installations have “military secrets” that can clearly be seen from a public sidewalk outside the checkpoint, then I think we have big problems.
The most hilarious part…
Auditor: “You can’t detain someone for over 30 minutes who hasn’t committed a crime “.
Sergeant: “Can you be more specific “?
@rbeck3200tb40 the difference with the entrance to a military camp is reconnaissance where to mortor a bomb where an advantage point is to shoot to kill… their are tons of reasons why.. Im very security aware after serving in Northern Ireland, operation banner. Maybe read up on that and you might ger my point. 👍🇬🇧
@Jonathan Galloway it shows in the Video exactly why that’s irrelevant. People can and do target strikes using publicly available mapping, like Google maps.
I love this guy’s voice. Literally the most unintimidating voice I have EVER heard.
I love how demanding cops are about showing them respect but when a civilian is talking to them they either jump on their radio or talk over them it’s an obvious Fu to the person who is speaking why do cops expect more respect than they give to people
I happen to stumble across your channel n immediately began binge watching you. The way you’re completely unbiased for one side and the other. You break down the videos with accurate information. Also have perfected explaining exactly if either side was right or wrong in a way everyone could understand, even if they no nothing about your rights or laws. Every Citizen and police officer need to watch these videos so they both can either protect themselves, or if they’re a cop, respect and honor people rights and the law.
All law enforcement should have a mandatory 2 year course on the Constitution before they can be working the streets.
I’m going to learn how to talk like this auditor because it requires the listener to pay very close attention.
I think if anyone knows they may get hassled for what they are going to do, they should have laws readily at hand, on phone or hard copy. Also, there should never be detainment without absolute knowledge of the exact laws on hand also. I’m sure there could be an app constructed for this. It would save alot of confusion, time, and lawsuit money, to say the least.
Military member here: regs only apply to US military personnel. The rest of it is irrelevant. Public viewing is public viewing. SSgt whatever his name is isn’t military personnel. That’s a contractor. Probably prior service, but outside the gate MPs have limited authority especially in respect to civilians.
I just want the guy to say reasonable, articulable suspicion a few more times.
This was a great one. I, like other viewers assumed this was going to be a failure once the auditor started speaking, but man, he was very impressive! Stayed calm and knew what he was talking about, brilliant stuff from him
As you watch these videos, there is a consistent theme across the U.S. that our law enforcement personnel are often poorly educated about state and federal law and many don’t have the calm demeanor necessary to interact with the public. We do a very bad job in hiring and training our law enforcement personnel at all levels of government. I have seen this first hand as I have worked in public safety for 20 years and as a forensic investigator for many years. There are certainly many good people working as sworn officers, but overall, their knowledge of the law and the constitution is very poor. The training required to become a sworn officer is fairly minimal in most jurisdictions and although there are law/constitutional components, the amount of education in these areas is very minimal. We dictate the training requirements and types of hiring practices when we elect our politicians. We control the entire process, but have not done a very good job at keeping people accountable. There definitely needs to be changes to the training and hiring practices, but I fear this will not happen as everything is so political and there is a great deal of power in the unions. Politicians don’t want to upset the unions and therefore we can’t get real reforms done.
I wish the cops that leave a thumbs down would realize there are more of us, citizens that demand they honor their oaths and protect our constitutional rights, than there are of them. Their arrogance, ignorance and egos are taking them down a very dangerous path. They need to change their behavior because we are watching and the citizens are catching on to their tyrannical behavior.
>> Like many, I demand that cops submit to the authority of The Rule of Law.
>> @Mr Free1 That is because the job is so terrible that only the idealistic or the desperate will even apply for the job. After a few years, the idealistic become cynical and leave for more attractive opportunities. That leaves the desperate losers behind. They would be failing at any pursuit in life. And, they keep screwing up with policing.
I love when I learn new stuff… you pointing out that police dont actually need to give you the legal reason they have detained you is good to know. This is unbelievable to me and is used as a way to protect police. It allows them to go back to the station, spend a couple hours discussing it, and then come up with a reason AFTER THE FACT on why they detained someone. This should be mandatory, just like Miranda rights being read to someone being arrested.
Being ex military I understand why they’re on edge but I signed up to protect America and the rights afforded to Americans.
Detective Mitchel gets an A+, he was clearly remorseful that an incident like this had happened.
2:02 … “is that the law or just something you’re saying?” hilarious
Question, isn’t calling for back up a form of swarming when an officer feels mentally out numbered?
12:40 this is why people despise law enforcement… you can lie and cheat to “do the right thing” “rid the world of evil” or whatever rational used to justify the immoral actions but the US citizen is right and the fact that law enforcement does not have to state their justification until they can figure it out later is one of the biggest loopholes in the system.
May true justice prevail and may the Lord Jesus Christ bless all those with Knowledge and Understanding of Love and Truth. Thank you Father for guarding and guiding those who put their life on the line to protect others who they do not know. Thank you Father for opening their eyes to the deception of their reality and their unwanted consequences of becoming “the accuser of brethren.” May they respect the rights granted to us and not use the legal system to violate people’s freedom. Thank you for keeping them safe in your hands Father to do thy will. Repent for the kingdom is at hand!
I remember watching this video. Classic policy vs law dispute. Letter is just a piece of paper. The detective is an idiot. He is trying to de escalate to stop the auditor from suing, he knows the guy in back of the car was wronged.
These people are tyrants. That detective released him once he saw he was detained but refused to admit they were at fault. Not surprised.
@Brett Symons Well, a guy like that can only sue if the officer(s) violate his constitutional or state rights and actually give him a cause to sue. If our law enforcement officers stay knowledgeable of the particular laws and regulations they’re charged to enforce and operate within the scope of their authority these auditors would have nothing to publish and no grounds to sue. Just as some police officers say “innocent people don’t run“, innocent officers have nothing to fear from a recording device. Always do what’s legal, always do what’s right.
The DHS memo of 2010/2018 refers to federal sites protected by DHS/FPS which are federal buildings with level 1- level 4 with all level 5 sites having their own full federal police agencies as security and the memo does not apply to military sites which the FPS does not protect. Auditors need to do their homework and brush up on the laws governing military bases as these tend to be the types of audits that run into being detained, even when it appears that auditors are not on military property.
The detective knew he could not win the argument so he bolted.
Love how the guy at the end looked like my 15 yo when I confront him when the guy was making sense but the second he made a mistake about the officers having to explain why they detained him the officer regained composure and his cockiness shot way up. His body language, eye contact, tone, everything completely changes when his ego gets a bump from being able to correct someone.
Regardless of who was right or wrong in what ways it amuses me to see the mentality of these people on open display like this.
Boy, this Staff Sargent is misguided. Makes it up as he goes.
>> Beve Smith There is a chance he believed what he is saying. He is probably repeating something he heard or was told and did no further research.
How could/should have I handeled my most recent contact with a cop?
4 to 5 years ago I fell while riding my bicycle back from a MacDonalds. I clipped a curb and fell. A Warren, Michigan cop saw this and pulled up. In fairness, he first asked me if I was ok. I said “yes” not knowing until later that I had actually fractured a rib. It should have ended then but it did not. I was “asked” to get into his patrol car. I did so. Then I was asked to show my Michigan photo ID. I did so. The cop detained me for over half an hour before he finally let me go. I walked my bike back to my house as the pain had grown.
I did not seek treatment for my fractured rib and very glad that the cop did not call for an ambulance which I could not afford for such a minor injury. I had no objection to identifying myself and showing my photo ID. Yet this boy cop in his 20s lorded it over me at my age then of 61 or 62 in spite of my total compliance.
If I had remained silent that cop may have arrested me for suspicious behavior of remaining silent. Years later I saw a video of Philando Castile being shot for obeying a cop’s order to produce his driver’s license.
I used to think the percentage of bad cops were under 5. Now I believe it to be over 50. Petty bureaucrats with badges and guns are not petty. I cooperated fully. I have never owned more than a pellet gun when I was a kid. I did have to shoot a 45 during my 3-year voluntary stint in the Navy.
I don’t want to die for some frivolous cause. And the next time I come in contact with the police holding my hands straight up will not guarantee that some boy with a hero complex won’t shoot me just because he can. That cop never asked me to raise my hands up but if he had I wonder if the pain would have prevented me from hold up my left arm.
So what do I do next time? I live in a safe part of town. I fear the cops more than the criminals so far.
What can I do to prevent my life from being taken by some boy with a badge while not giving in to the intimidation?
Hey, does anyone remember the obligation for the general public to adhere to military regulations?
Yeah, me either.
I was in Hanoi, Vietnam, taking pictures of an army base, police station, Ho Chi Minh’s tomb, museums, etc. And had no problems at all until I went by the US embassy, when someone immediately came out and said I couldn’t photograph any part of the building. So much for Democratic rights trumping Communism
Detective Mitchell did a good job shutting up when he realized his partners didn’t know what the hell they were talking about. Good job protecting your goonies, pal.
A military regulation is enforceable on a Civilian? Since when?
slacker2310 they’re taught wrong. Unless you’re on their property
slacker2310 we can film anything we can see. You can’t trespass the eyes. If they don’t want it filmed. Build a wall around it. You do realize I can get a pic of any installation and entry points on the internet.
One of the things that frustrate me about auditors is that they never seem to articulate the change that needs to occur. They simply highlight what was wrong that happened and say things like “you just need to not do that” that’s not how it works. We need change. A prerequisite for change is a specifically defined policy or training program.
For example, these officers need to be specifically trained on the differences between regulation and statute, and need to be made aware that they cannot use things like “Congressional letters” to enforce a law that isn’t written in a piece of legislation.
If these officers knew that, they may not have detained this individual.
I was a gate guard in El Paso for a few months and if this happened to me, I can assure you that alot of the daily people working at the gates would have Nooooo idea about the laws. This dude was going there for a free check. I hate this kind of video because it just shows that you can pray on ignorant individuals who don’t fully know the law
I think his voice is great. It sounds more to me like maybe someone with hearing issues/cochlear implant rather than a Gump-like issue
I really dont think there was “bad” intentions on the part of the police on this particular incident. I think this is the fault of how insanely freaking confusing the law, legislation, statute, etc. is made for these cops. It’s very hard to comprehend.
When I went through boot camp in 03, I remember them saying something about being able to stop people taking pictures of ships or bases and stuff like that if they were looking suspicious and off base (not that I was in a position where I would have ever been the one detaining anyone here on US soil). I will say however some of the briefings for what to do if you did find someone on base who wasn’t supposed to be there usually included detaining them, calling the MP’s and then they drive him off base and maybe trespass them or something in most cases.
It should be a law that police officers must give you very specific reasons as to why they are detaining you.That could change the outcome of many many police encounters.Many people in many videos end up losing their cool due to cops not answering any of their questions.I would agree that would be incredibly frustrating. Passing a law like that could help defuse some of those situations
10:00 when they realize they might have a lawsuit on their hands…
I follow him. Is one of my favorite auditors.Great audit of the audit
That detective was holding back some anger at the end there.
“As soon as I saw that you were being detained I released you” – Yeah, except he didn’t detain himself. The reason you saw him being detained is because he was being detained.
Lmao when the detective talks about freedom of information act and the dudes like “I’ve done them before” of course he has 😂
“Deleted their photos…”That’s not a problem anymore. Immediately upload any photos and videos to the cloud. Problem solved.
