If You Come To This Neighborhood, This Officer Wants To Know Why…

He does important work, life coaches are awesome.
“I have to follow the law to some extent” Wait. What?
When I was a kid, we were taught how evil the Soviet Union was because they had to show their papers everywhere they traveled.
“I’m not accusing your of anything” then again officer… why are you pulling me over?
I see this more and more. A cop pulls you over because he doesn’t think you belong there. This is America and we have the freedom to go where we want. This guy just had his rights violated and he shakes the cops hand for doing it. This is what’s wrong with America
Looks like profiling to me… And people still deal with this today
But he never communicated why he stopped the man. Did I miss this? He stopped him because his boss wants to know who’s coming in and out of that neighborhood. That may be the case, but the cop still needs probable cause to stop individuals. He managed to disarm this man through pleasant conversation. He still took his ID to run him for warrants even though he never articulated a clear reason for why he was stopped. The cop got exactly what he wanted. He got a compliant and happy victim, a license check for warrants, and a sob story about his boss wanting to know everyone coming in and out of that neighborhood so that’s why I’m violating your rights now that actually worked.
So he said in so many words, he wanted to inhibit your 4th Amendment right to travel freely…regardless of how he feels how bad a neighborhood is…it is up to the citizen to decide whether or not to travel there.  He couldn’t stop him until he got some reason to do so…
The cop ran the plates prior stopping the guy. The cop knew exactly who he was pulling over, he changed his story one challenged!
He’s totally playing that game and he definitely is that guy! Foh. FTP
This officer has literally confirmed that there are bad cops when he says “i’m not that guy”.
  • And is one but knew he had no moves so he played good cop….until next time
  • Believe me when I tell you, he is that guy!.
“I have to fallow the law…..to some extent “ Well that sums it up right there…
Omg did you guys see it? The cop actually did deescalate the situation. The argument is valid, but still. Not like that lady cop that pulled the gun on the one guy arguing.
I don’t see how this is anything but a good stop. Well explained.
“I don’t like playing games”… as he frantically shuffles his pieces around the board.
I’m not that guy””” mmmmm…yes you are that guy, making bogus statements ” creating problems, not fixing them, this guy got caught red handed so he play the good cop. Always record.
I pulled you over because i have a quota. But im not allowed to admit that, so i shuffle through arguable reasons that are quite transparent.
Freedom of autonomy is a CONSTITUTIONALLY protected RIGHT…it does not matter if he is from around there…He has a the Right to be there….Period…
Officer’s duty is to give safe passage through their jurisdiction. Suspicion is not a crime. Extortion is!
  • They enforce laws. Not provide safety.
  • .. Police officers are not trained to handle people who know their rights.
No cop has any right to question why your there in any neighborhood. This ain’t nazi Germany . You don’t need permission nor papers to travel through any neighborhood regardless if you live there OR DONT!!!
  • Getting us ready for that “Where’s your Papers” world we are fastly approaching. “I’m not that guy”, what the hell, you are that guy that pulled me over for nothing.

 

“Our Chief says zero tolerance in that neighborhood. Cars coming and going that don’t live there, why are they there?” Good to know the chief gets to decide if the 4th amendment, 5th amendment and 1st amendment (freedom to assemble) applies in a neighborhood.
The chief has a zero tolerance on who comes in and out the area and why? I wonder what action they’d take when people refuse to answer their questions?
Much like the old Soviet Union, this cop is making rules for Freedom of Travel, especially for POC. THIS IS AMERICA!!!
You had no obligation to give ID.
Instead of stopping people coming and going out of neighborhoods.. See what houses have a lot of traffic and send a informant to buy drugs to get legit warrant. They do it on TV cop shows all the time.
Listen to what the officer said people the problem comes from higher-ups training their dogs to attack for no apparent reason so it seems that this cop is an honest good cop but he is being pressured by the chief to do the wrong thing question them why they’re they’re like if you’re not see Germany question and why they’re coming and going this is the stuff that we need to open our eyes too it’s not too much some of the cops that are out on the field but the higher-ups that are poking them to do stuff like like this
So he just admitted to violating people’s civil rights on a daily basis. And the chief of police is the one who told him to do it. Wow that place must have great insurance.
4:29 “if I had something on you, I’m the kinda guy that would be straight with you and tell you” is an indictment of his fellow officers, because he’s signaling that they don’t. It like in advertising, where you advertise something negative that you don’t do, because others do. You don’t just make up a random negative that has nothing to do with your product, and exclaim “we don’t do that shit!@.
He Definitely and Positively IS that guy.
Of course that officer is “playing that game”. Cops are looking for drugs or money to confiscate. The driver fit the profile, black man driving a nice car. The cop followed the car waiting for tiniest of reason to pull him over. The driver knew exactly what was happening but had to pretend that the stop was legitimate.
Profiling at its finest. Your in a BMW so you must be the drug supplier
“pulled over” (detained) with no crime suspected.
“I am not accusing of anything” But if you say the wrong thing I will pin it on you,,,,then …then….then we will start accusing!!!!!
Whatever happened to freedom of travel……or freedom in general?
Stop acting proud in the camera bro, he still ran your name for no reason, now you was in the area if /when something happen! Indeed, indeed, indeed, indeed! Indeedly know your rights!
now homie got a file that says that hes known to frequent high crime area with possible ties to gang members.
First, the officer changed his story from “you parked in a no parking zone” to “it’s a bad neighborhood. My boss is cracking down on if someone doesn’t live here why are they here” when the man called him on the BS stop. Second, this is a violation of this man’s 4th amendment rights. Just because a neighborhood is a “bad neighborhood” does not give officers the right to make traffic stops on people who have not broken a traffic laws. It is none of their business why you are there if they don’t have reasonable suspicion that you have committed, are about to commit, or are in the process of committing a crime. And, if I’m not mistaken, the Supreme Court has ruled that simply being in a “bad area” does not constitute reasonable suspicion.
“I’m not going to make something up to stop you if it’s not legal…even though I want to” Holy shit…that sure says an awful lot, doesn’t it?! Good lord, what an admission.
Officer handled that very well and the guy pulled over handled that amazing. Each side practiced de-escalation.
For someone who doesn’t like playing games or doesn’t want to bust any balls, he sure has a whole lot of clowning going on.
When is this going to stop? “I’m not that guy.” Yes, you are exactly that guy. The fact that you say that tells us all we need to know about you.
“I have to follow the law to some extent” ??? @ 5:06 How about just following the law.
Atleast the cop didnt escalate the situation
When the cop splanin starts you know he’s that guy. Stay safe and carry daily
Instead of copsplaining, he should have just said sorry when he gave his ID back.
I appreciate that the officer admits that other officers play games. Video’s of smug police officer playing games are terrible for our country. Big egos with hair triggers are dangerous; therefore the videos will continue. The attitude and games need to stop.
Never talk to these revenue collector’s nothing ever came good out of talking to these criminals the the trust died years ago it’s us v them
He can access ALL of your information through your car tag… prior to making contact… so he is full of it.
he can only assess information on the vehicle, not the operator. Even then the cop needs reasonable suspicion of a crime
Oh yeah, he’s definitely the guy who just blew past the 4th amendment as clarified in Terry v. Ohio, Brown v. Texas, and Hiibel v. Nevada…..and engaged in an unlawful detention and fishing expedition by running the detainee’s license and registration. That’s called a civil rights violation in these United States. And he should have gotten for his trouble a federal lawsuit for that rights violation under 42 USC 1983.
If he wasn’t “that guy”, he would not have gone to his cruiser and run that man’s drivers license thorough the database. Which puts him in the system for that area. He would have just… (If he really needed to 🤷) Held his license in hand, asked questions, returned the license immediately after questioning, said have a nice day, then returned to his cruiser and left. Done. No running info, no intrusive searches, nothing. Just questions and release.
I’m pretty sure this would of gone differently if the cop had a partner with him. He would of been 10 times more of an asshole. But sinse he was alone he was a too scared to be a complete asshole. That’s usually how it goes. He also seemed to have a different tone before the camera got turned on but I still think he would of been worse if he had a partner with him.

He has no legal right to pull people over because they dont live in the neighborhood thats crazy that guy needs to take this to court
The way things are looking. Pretty soon any person of color is going to have to register themselves at the local Town Hall. Because apparently cops “need to know everything” we do, from going to Walmart, or taking our poodle to the dog groomer :/ Zoinks!
Copsplaining he just wanted to see if you had warrants. And I promise you if you had anything he would try explaining and being nice after running ya names
My chief said we have to know everyone that is coming and going from that area????
question why a citizen is in any neighbourhood for NO legal reason what so ever IS “busting (citizens) balls” police are to enforce the law NOT determine who goes where or WHY
Sooooo did you commit a crime? Was he arresting you or detaining you?. Were you free to leave? Why does he have your licence? Suure your not, that’s why you profiled him and pulled him over on a bogus stop! Legal reason yet you didn’t get a ticket or arrested smh
Honestly, this is a god cop and they are rare!
NO PARKING means NO PARKING. Parking is
  1. stopping,
  2. turning the engine off, and
  3. exiting the vehicle.

It requires ALL THREE of those elements. If you stop and shut the engine off but remain in the vehicle, that is Waiting, NOT PARKING. If you stop, get out of your car and leave the engine running, that is WAITING, NOT parking. If I stop at a signal light or stop sign, don’t shut off my engine and stay in the car (like EVERYBODY DOES when WAITING for the light to change, IS THAT PARKING?

“I dont want play that game” but he came over with the game board with all the game pieces
So he admitted that he fabricated a reason to pull him over.
So it was an illegal stop. My chief told me to violate your civil rights.
‘I’m not that guy, but seriously, I’m that guy and there’s just nothing you can do about it’. ‘And also, I’m not going to apologize because that would mean I’d have to admit I’m capable of making mistakes’. ‘Actually all I wanted to do was get your name into our national databases as a negative contact because your car is nicer than mine. So now that I’ve done that, you can go on your way’.
Know the difference between parking and standing if you’re stopped in a no-parking Zone and you stay in the car that’s standing if the sign says no parking and you stay in the car you can’t get a ticket but if you park in a no standing Zone and leave the car you can get a ticket
a cop’s purpose in life is to accuse just like Satan does.
So now cops think it is illegal to drive on public roads unless you live on that road?
The worst part about this whole thing is that the cop thinks he’s justified in his profile-fishing and pointless stop because LP the Coach shook his hand a bunch of times. No respect for Nazis.
Its a pretext stop…. They get you on any little chicken shit violation they can to satisfy probable cause and then go on a fishing expedition to see if it leads to a big fish. It often does… but sometimes when you cast such a big net, you inadvertently rope in dolphin. Killing dolphins because you were trying to catch tuna isn’t a good look.
Driver way too friendly. He’s allowing this cop to continue being a tyrant.
OMG…cop makes sense with I’m not that guy, yet stumbles over why he pulled him over.…hope he picked up dashcam to mount the on rear windows…also why doors should be locked & windows be open 2 inches when interacting w/cops…..RECORD….as U calmly articulate the matter & simultaneously invoke constitutional rights.
Officer Tim Harting
If you have to say ” I’m not that guy ” that means you are that guy……
OFFICER CAN I SEE YOUR FISHING LICENSE???
This is the exact reason we need MORE officers in our schools to keep the students under control, in class, school on time, and less drugs. He has no respect to this officer, thinks he can park where he wants and he doesn’t have to follow rules. All of this is YOUR fault ALL of it, showing the younger generation this crap and their thinking it’s normal to treat officials in this manner. Your a complete disgrace.
That fake friendliness annoys me more than anything else in this video.
Very professional but why are the state police here?
He essentially said, I needed to know who you were and why you were in this neighborhood. I am playing a little bit of a game because I have to have a legal reason to pull you over so anything, no matter how trivial, will do… like pulling in a “no parking” zone because I can’t make up something on you although I’d really want to. He IS definitely THAT guy.
The Nuremburg defense, “I’m just doing my job”.
Bullshit you know he was fishing
Zero tolerance
This is not a good interaction. That is not a legal stop. Don’t praise this officer. He’s infringing on people’s rights to travel freely.

Police Gives Ticket for 10% over Speed Limit without knowing the Speed Limit

Police Refuse to Accept they were Wrong:

Police must get ID, even if stop was unwarranted

Comments

Cop: you’re speeding!
Driver: whats the speed limit here?
Cop: I don’t know.
The cop doesn’t know the speed on the road but he knows he was speeding 🤦🤣
He didn’t know what the speed limit was but he was sure that he was going 10% faster than what he didn’t know. Huh?
Claiming he was going 10% over the posted speed limit is pretty specific when the officer didn’t know what the posted speed limit was.
10% over the speed limit? For 2-2.5 mph over the speed limit? Wow!

Another officer, a Sgt no less, who believes he can stop anyone he wants to anytime he wants to just to check their ID!! This is crazy! Auditors are def making a difference by educating citizens about their rights, but sometimes it seems like the officers are getting WORSE!

 

The driver was not guessing his speed as the cop inferred. He had it in the screen in front of him. They can pace someone for speeding but the driver is right, they cannot gauge it from sitting still. Cop was mad because he was proven wrong and then the guy knew his rights. Egos in policing is dangerous and deadly!
“I’ll LET you go.” Mighty fine of him to let him go esp. since he committed no crime. Tyrants!
I really believe the cops are gaming the public with you must show ID even if there is no violation. That many cops can’t be that misinformed. What I think is happening is its a nation wide campaign to keep saying it until the public believes it and then slide it in there and make it an actual law.
The problem is that cops are never wrong, they don’t know how to acknowledge any mistake, infact the opposite happens when they are wrong and get called on it they usually escalate and start manufacturing a crime to justify their wrong doings… Sick….
😀 Dude told the cop “You need to be recalibrated”.🤣🤣🤣. Love it! Great job.
 @Tempus Fugit  That’s a very idealistic point of view. But I’m sorry to inform you that in the real world, the citizen doesn’t often win an argument he insists in having on the side of the road. No I’m no boot licker and I’m no push over. I assure you I’ve made my displeasure and my resistance known in more than one occasion. In the case of this video, the guy lucked out that the cop was pulling the speeding charge out of his ass because he realized he was wrong about the phone and he happened to have gotten caught on the fact that he didn’t know what the speed limit was. AND the supervisor that responded happened to be a reasonable guy and want looking to just jack with a citizen. He made a half-assed attempt to claim they can just stop random drivers to check their drivers license. When it was obvious he wasn’t getting away with it, the supervisor let him go. But I assure you, had the supervisor had his ego as invested as the officer did, that driver would have either coughed up his DL or he would have been a guest of the county for a while. Right wrong or indifferent, it’s up to the cops how that encounter ends. Luckily, he argued his point and the supervisor decided it wasn’t worth it to take it all the way because his guy was wrong. But make no mistake, had he decided to back his officer, he would have been ordered out of the vehicle. Had he refused, he would have been taken out of the vehicle. Just that noncompliance could lead many judges to decide that he was resisting and obstructing by refusing a lawful order to exit. Who knows what he would decide on the citations. But, I’d be willing to bet a judge would find that it was a lawful stop initially because cops are allowed to make a mistake like thinking he was holding his phone. And from there, the officer doesn’t need any justification to ask the driver to exit the vehicle. His refusal to do so buts himself a ride to county. Is that fair? Nope. But it’s not up to you or the driver to declare it an unlawful stop or to decide when it became decided that he had made an error about the phone. His resistance in such an excessive manner could be seen by the judge as reasonable suspicion to continue investigating. It all depends on how the judge interprets his actions and the actions of the officer. But it seems like you’re if the mindset that any time a citizen believes he hadn’t committed the infraction he was stopped for that he can then lawfully defy lawful orders based on his belief that they’re unlawful due to his belief that he didn’t commit the infraction. Doesn’t work that way. If it did, everybody would just say “no I wasn’t speeding. Wasn’t me. “. And then the cop has to say “ok maybe it wasn’t you. I guess there’s nothing else I can do since you say you didn’t do it. Have a nice day”. As much as that would be awesome, it’s just not realistic and would make it impossible for cops to do anything. Bottom line, the guy rolled the dice and hit so was able to leave. He just as easily could have crapped out and had his day turn south real quick. You’re free to roll those dice too, of course. But if you think you’re going to win every time in a situation like that, you’re crazy. Not saying the cop was in the right or would have been to arrest him. He was just following policy which I guarantee states that he woulda had done explaining to do if he’d made a stop and didn’t even get the guys DL. Don’t like that policy? Fine. Petition your elected officials to try n get it changed. Aside from that, the cop is going to insist on that DL every time
If a officer wants to violate your rights he is forsure going to do so, this is why I’d say allow him to violate your rights and record it so you will have all the evidence you need because if we don’t hold them accountable then it’s only going to get worse.
My opinion is the supervisor knew this stop could go sideways and get crazy. The time and effort in making this man show id will be more problematic then its worth and this driver was committed to standing his ground. Cop was professional and explained his opinion well but needs to stop the crack addiction. ( ID ) that is.
Cops saying “I’m not gonna argue with you,” is cop speak for: I know I’m wrong, but I’m a cop and I’ll do what the fuck I want, and if you want to pursue it, I have qualified immunity so I’ll be just fine.
I would have pointed out that there was no way he would know if you were speeding if he didn’t know what the speed limit was in the first place.
The supervisor didn’t know the law either, as he said that it was legal to ask to see the drivers license, but at least he let the man drive off after having lost a much too long time for nothing due to a lying LEO not knowing the law (as usual)
Looking at this cop should communicate what’s driving him is far more than fabricating a traffic violation to check for warrants.
So the supervisor thinks we live in 1030’s Nazi Germany? That’s basically what he’s saying when he said they can stop anyone to verify driver’s license’s. Sorry buddy but you’re flat out incorrect at the highest level!
This was an honest mistake by the supervisor. He accidentally thought he was in Nazi Germany and could demand papers at any time.

THIS IS THE DEAL .
“I placed him in handcuffs”
“Why?
“Safety”
“What was the safety concern?”
“He was resisting”
“What was he resisting?”
“Being placed in handcuffs” FBLG💩👮‍♂ & F👢L

 

 

At the end of the day ; coppa needs to make a ticket , to reach his quota – IMO . DISGRACEFUL.
The really scary part is the “supervisor” thinks they can pull anybody over for ZERO reasons ! American Police thinking on full display
The officer said I can’t dispute your truth, which means he has nothing and he should just let you go, that’s exactly what that means
perfect handling of a common police harassment

Cops Get Caught Lying And Cost Their Town $75,000

 

This is actually really sad. They were so nice & respectful to those cops & you know those cops thought they were going to find something illegal in their car. I’m glad they sued & won $75k.

 

“your hands are shaking like a leaf brother even your face is” what? Mr.parker was just about the calmest person I’ve ever seen getting pulled over. Seriously impressed with Mr.Parker’s conduct throughout this.
“This is how we handle anyone who doesn’t use their turn signals.” They smelled fear and determined it was enough to act on. You know, like a predator
If Mr. Parker had tried to assert his rights during this traffic stop, I am quite certain these cops would have escalated it to something much worse and possibly violent. $75k pay day ain’t bad, but as a tax payer, I would prefer the cops do their job appropriately.
My sons have had many traffic stops in their youth. They claimed the cops were targeting them and were quite rude and unprofessional. It made my sons wonder why anyone would want to be a cop, and thought they were mentally unstable. As a female, I have never experienced what they went through, and now that they are older, they do not get pulled over like they did in their youth.
This city is corrupt to the core. The police had bad practices and the fact that the city included a gag order in the settlement goes just how deep the corruption goes. It’s all disgusting, and I was aghast when the man shook the officers’ hands at the end. It’s like thanking someone for smashing you upside the head with a baseball bat.
As someone who has passed the bar I consider myself a Constitutionalist who loves what our founding fathers gave us. I just want to express my appreciation for the work you do; I know the amount of text you have to comb over to research each of the statutes you present and the time that goes into each of these videos. Your adherence to the facts and the law are impeccable and I appreciate your efforts and the work you do. Thank you.
If a cop sees a citizen is “shaking like a leaf” the correct response is to DEFUSE the situation. Using it as an excuse to search someone is despicable.
Why did they remove him from the car for a turn signal, especially when video shows the blinker was going? This is so disturbing! The passengers do not have to identify themselves and certainly not provide a social security number! I hope these poor citizens have in the meantime educated themselves!
“Man, I just want people to be upfront and honest with me!” This is cop talk for “It doesn’t matter what you say to me, I’m not going to believe you!” This is all based on the fact that people lie! You are correct, officer, people do lie and you yourself are people!
Even if he had failed to use the turn signal, it is simply wrong that all this can be done to him.
since when did simple traffic infractions start including searches, pat downs, and invasive acts? what happened to writing a ticket and being on your way? and cops wonder why they are disliked, they create their own disdain.

>> It starts with “why are you shaking” ….it automatically sets a precedence for the cop to keep lying and adding details to make you look suspicious and/or a threat.
>> Happens everyday………………………

“This is how we conduct every traffic stop.” As a middle aged white guy, I cannot fathom getting pulled over for nothing and surrounded by aggressive police. A clear case of driving while black.
Congratulations to this wonderful family for following through on calmness and cooperation. We all know what might have happened if anything else turned negative. I was afraid the police might have planted something in their car with all that searching. Congratulations again.
4 cops show up at a false turn signal stop? Spot on with your analysis. And kudos to Parker for actually following up. Complaining here is not the same as following up. Hope they take the money and move to a better community.
This entire encounter made me feel very uncomfortable. This cop treated him like he was an armed felon from the very start and then proceeded to violate every one of the mans rights that he possibly could. This is absolutely disgusting and this officer should not be allowed to work in law enforcement.
>> This what people in the black community have been experiencing for decades
Classic profiling and nothing more. He broke zero laws and they still treat that family like they’re criminals.
>>  Imagine what that does to his son, to see that. Does that kid look at police favorably? Does he think police are there to protect and serve?

Imagine what that does to his son, to see that. Does that kid look at police favorably? Does he think police are there to protect and serve?

>> Let this be a lesson to anyone who has a slam-dunk case against these unconstitutional tactics by so-called “law enforcement”. Never settle out of court if one of the conditions is to keep silent. On the contrary, make a part of the settlement mandatory procedural changes and retraining. (See Jeff Gray’s channel, “Honor Your Oath Civil Rights Investigations”). His lawsuit forced mandatory 1st Amendment training and yearly remedial training over a period of years in the future. I understand if this family just wanted to settle and put this behind them and I’m glad they didn’t just ignore it.
I am so glad you’re bringing light to these issues. This very thing happened to me. An officer who had a reputation for being dirty, got behind me & put his lights on after I’d made a left turn. He had been behind me for several minutes so I made sure to stop @ the stop sign & use my turn signal. He lied & said I never used my signal when turning & then receded to search my vehicle. When he found nothing he didn’t even write me a ticket bc he knew he was lying & just let me go. I never even thought about how he’d violated my rights until I started watching your channel. This happened many years ago… I would have never thought to file a lawsuit until now. I’m glad you’re giving citizens like myself a voice & instructions on how to handle these situations.
..  I love how they settled with the restriction of speech about the department or incident … But they forget that there is an entire world watching now that can say what they want when they want !! Thanks for what you do !!

The only thing I was worried about when Mr. Parker consented to the search was the possibility of the officers planting illegal substances. I’ve seen cops do that on this channel before.
” Your hands are shaking like a leaf ” Look at what you did to this family. I’m surprised nobody’s gone into shock and have convulsions.
>> I didn’t see his hands shaking. The cop said that because it is in the script he was following for the record. They have probably done this many times the exact same way.

>>  @Mark Mixon  facts, the man didn’t look nervous and wasn’t shaking at all

>> Exactly. I love the guy was not at all shaking, it would have been reasonable to do so. Especially given the fact that he was probably aware that police were going to jack him up and try to pin something on him

>>  “And how would you react when 4 armed men surround your vehicle?”

>> Damned if you do, damned if don’t. None of those officers went in with an open minded view to the stop. Plus, that poor child has to experience the ordeal and make sense of it all. At such a young age it’s moments like that which impact your development, view of yourself/place etc. Great community policing and relations building /s

Nothing will change unless these law suit settlements come directly from the police union pension fund. That way, these settlements will affect every single officer and their bottom line. That would hopefully ignite and motivate good cops to weed out the bad cops.
The narrator says “I certainly can not fault him for prioritizing his family’s safety over his Constitutional rights“. The fact that in the United States (you know, the land of the free) this is a rational statement reflecting the reality that asserting said rights likely endangers your family is a sad truth indeed.
No camera no pay out 💯💯💯💯💯💯
“We got a failure to signal, gonna need about 5 officers for this.”
We have fostered an entire generation of citizens that are hesitant to trust law enforcement. Here’s the sad news: until we abolish qualified immunity, they will continue to oppress, and use dirty tactics, and empty these poor towns of taxpayer money and empathy.
This guy did everything right, IMO. He remained extremely polite despite being treated wrongly, he never once became upset, disrespectful, or argumentative. I’m glad they received the settlement from the dept for that awful behavior, but I would have personally pushed to remove that stipulation about criticism.
I particularly liked the one cop’s admission to the lady: “This is the way we conduct all traffic stops.”
I don’t know why the guy was trying to explain a faulty turn signal when it worked. He almost justified the cops illegal stop by admitting a problem that wasn’t there.
I love it when he says “However”
“YoUrE ShakiNg LiKe A LeAf” What do these guys expect?! They are about to violate him after making up a reason to stop him. It’s circular, the only reason he is shaking is because he knows they have the power to abuse him and he thinks they will. So they use that as a reason to abuse him. Makes me sick.
As a non-American, I’m shocked that he’s pointing out that the man is shaking. I’d be scared for my life. American police are unpredictable.

Cops lied to put him in handcuffs, but a camera caught the truth!

A Los Angeles man says he was targeted by police after he was pulled over for crossing a line in front of a stop sign; but after placing him in handcuffs and arresting the passenger in his car, a recording cellphone caught the real reason cops pulled him over.
