today we will look at some interesting cases of corrupt cop on December 3rd 2021 officers Teddy Dyer Candace Miller and Sergeant David Myrick of the East Ridge Police Department responded to a wellchild check at Haley sherrard's residence finding Haley's mother Ang sherard and her son Devon in a vehicle officer dire approaching from the right passenger side hello hey what's up hey do you

put your hands on officer Dyer claimed the right to run the vehicle's tags and conduct a search citing the smell of marijuana despite Tennessee's lack of marijuana legalization legal precedents supported the idea that the odor alone provided probable cause for a warrantless vehicle search courts consistently ruled that checking license plates in a police database did not violate the Fourth Amendment as there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in license plate numbers therefore officer Dyer's action of running Miss sherrard's plates would likely be deemed constitutionally sound irrespective of the alleged marijuana odor yo what are youing you're going to put I said put your hands on the car you're arresting me put your hand back up hey don't you put [Applause] your oh God

after she was handcuffed officer Simmons upon Miss sherrard's struggle to comply Drive stunned her with a taser applying the fourth amendment's reasonableness standard Miss sherard May argue excessive force particularly during the tasering when compliance was challenging the ambiguous nature of the initial arrest raises questions about the proportionality of force used and actions such as pulling her hair after handcuffing May further support her claim of excessive force shut the up before I take your to jail too get back she just got run have the baby you do not to arrest her girl do not push

charges against Angel and Devon were dismissed on July 12th 2022 in the lawsuit filed the shards reached a settlement with East Ridge on September 21st 2023 the settlement amount for the adults remains undisclosed due to Tennessee laws Miss chard's minor daughter received a $110,000 settlement officer Simmons who was terminated for use of force and uncivil behavior later joined the Bradley County Sheriff's Office but resigned in May 2023 for undisclosed reasons no public disciplinary action has been reported for the other officers involved in the chard's encounter on March 8th 2023 an officer from the Jackson Police Department on patrol observed a vehicle with a broken tail light pull into a store parking lot the officer apprehended the vehicle and activated his police lights as it pulled up behind the driver Mr Harrison who was parked and walking toward the store entrance the driver Mr Harrison was not aware of the police when he entered the parking lot so he did not notice and

and I can't breathe back up Robbie Robbie Robbie back up we're just going to be calm okay all right don't worry about none of that you guys good to put him on his side y the situation escalated from an unusual traffic stop to Mr Harrison being forcefully restrained and handcuffed notably when the officer called for backup another officer released a Suspect with a suspended license during a separate stop in retrospect the officer's actions seemed disproportionate rather than informing Mr Harrison about his broken tail light and letting him go or issuing a citation the officer pursued and restrained him in a store despite Mr Harrison's possible overreaction it doesn't justify the excessive use of force by the three officers involved especially considering he showed no resistance when restrained on the ground put you on your side buddy okay it'll help you out why am I in cuff and I'm not arrested I I I wasn't why am I being arrested I'm supposed to go to work to take care of my family under a 90day policy at this job hey hey what's your name your first name Harrison Harrison hey just take a deep breath bro this is uncalled for get you I was not I was not under arrest it

squad car now okay what's the reason I'm being detained cuz I was never it was never a traffic stop why am I being detained again cuz I know I'm not under arrest well you're is he under arrest yes the police officers forly arrested Mr Harrison on charges of resisting and obstructing apparently unrelated to the reasons for stopping him Mr Harrison alleges that excessive force was used against him according to the Jackson Police Department's use of force policy officers have the privilege to use Force reasonably necessary for a lawful arrest and to avoid actions that could result in death or great bodily harm unless there is no alternative to assess the reasonableness of Force officers must consider three questions one the seriousness of the alleged offense two whether the suspect poses an imminent threat to others and three whether the suspect is actively resisting or attempting to evade arrest given these criteria it seems unnecessary necessary in the circumstances described to forcibly throw Mr Harrison to the ground with three officers one of whom had his head down you're underr I'm good I didn't check Nick yet is Nick good are you hurt Nick or you good I'm good okay is he good does he need anyone offering medical at all up assume so you're were fighting with officers when I showed up so had no reason to take problem well you don't have plates in your car there man well y'all see the bumper off right everything yeah but you can't drive with all right okay say whatever y want to say I know I supposed to be getting arrested for this so no injuries right now but you might have some later I know I don't know bro okay well you let me know want I stopped because he had a brake light out yeah and he pulled in here I said get back in your car he said that I'm not doing that so I followed him in there okay and then he kept pulling away like okay I was I heard you like call it out and then he walking away I'm like oh sorry I could tell where if you were in the store where you were at first so that's why I was trying to figure it out I knew you were here so it wasn't helpful when diset said Walgreens well he smells he smells like weed right what do you have I stopped for a brake light out he got out he pulled in here he was he was trying to ditch you then or well I know I sto I saw the brake light when he break the pull in here so I came in here lit him up he pulled in his parking lot what' you say did you hear what she said the Malibu belongs to Har yeah only thing on registration suspended cuz I just got it fixed got out of his car started walk I said get back in your car traffic stop no that I'm going to get a Red Bull I'm going toing work you can't [ __ ] stop me okay just got fixed okay bumper just fell off he a man y'all see them bro he had no reason to tackle me in no damn Walgreens BR okay and then I filed him in there and basically he was being loud voice as you probably heard but I just waited for backup before going hands up what no stop bro well I'm telling you from right now my opin stop bro okay that's your opinion man well I thought he was getting ready to swing at you I thought that I he was getting ready to I just pretty much tackled them right away so okay hey man so you're just let me I'm just want to hear your side of it here okay so when he stopped you don't think that was a good stop you got nothing besides just wait just I know I know hey we're not we're going to get to that okay so you say that you're doing nothing wrong your driver's license is valid you got nothing in the car correct bro I'm on my way to work my job is down the street you don't have anything in the car bro yall know I don't have nothing in that car is all right if I search it just make sure you got what you mean been y'all can do whatever y'all want to do to the car yall got the car bro is it if I search it I'm just asking you don't care what y'all do bro so it's all right if I search it permission to do anything but I don't care what you do y'all don't have my permission to do anything okay no it started off as kind of but no 913 county is here k99 Duty and available you want or something do I no I'm good okay okay you don't need an ambulance you just want to get on with your night if you're going to go to jail and get booked to jail you want to go to jail and get booked is that what you're saying sir you know what I'm saying okay well I'm going to take that as you don't need an ambulance so sir I just heard you say you're hurt do you need I'm hurt do you need an ambulance I'm hurt do you need an ambulance leg hurt yes need ambulance my leg hurt 913 Cy how's that traffic stop sir I made a traffic stop because how how is my and my car cut off what you stopping do you want me to explain or are you going to keep okay when you when you pressed your brakes to turn into Walgreens here I noticed that your driver side brake light wasn't working that's why I conducted the traffic stop bro youti on no lights before you weren't even behind me when I turned in here bro you're capping when I got out the car you was pulling up telling me get back in my car that's not no stop why didn't they Tas him I didn't know what he had I went in there the guy was walking away and I almost thought for a second he was going to swing on Nick or something so I just pretty much just grabbed him and on the shoulders and threw him to the ground decentralized him that's the that's the technical term the lady that I was stopped with I was like okay she has already been stopped twice tonight and she has suspended driver's license so I was like going to give her a s i was walk like you luy day see later an officer claimed to detect the odor of marijuana emanating from Mr Harrison despite their attempts to obtain permission to search his vehicle being unsuccessful they subsequently requested a K9 unit for assistance it's crucial to note that in order to search a car officers typically require probable cause for a crime Beyond a traffic violation or the driver's consent extending a legal traffic stop for a dog sniff is considered constitutional unless the police have Reasonable Suspicion of a crime in this case the officers now claim Reasonable Suspicion based on the alleged odor of marijuana justifying the use of a K9 unit for a search there's weed in it Swit your sweet yeah can you take These Cuffs off they hurt my shoulder yeah I can check them but no you're it's unfortunately when you're arrested you have to be in handcuffs I'm saying why am I arrested and I didn't run from him I told him I'm going in Walgreens to get a Red Bull before before it Clos well how can I get ARR when you're in a traffic stop okay one second when you're in a traffic stop you walk away from the car and an officer tells you to stop you have to stop you can't keep I'm talking right now okay don't talk over me cuz this will answer a lot of your questions no no yes it is as

whatever and don't tou jacking a box out of the squad in front of T's face and it's like whoa we're not playing these games settle down and then he got all mad at traran and then pulled away as we're going in here so we took him to the ground again uh DC obstruct resist so he walked away from a traffic stop because once your car is off you don't have to stop when I went into Walgreens he was start walking towards me so I like got an arm up around his shoulder decentralized him and then we put his forces hands behind his back that's it there were no knee strikes nothing in the end Mr Harrison was released from the hospital and subsequently booked in jail on misdemeanor charges including resisting and obstructing an officer disorderly conduct and cited for non-registration of a vehicle possession of THC and parking in a handicap space his cash bo bond has been set at $250 of course there were moments when Mr Harrison overreacted we can't rule that out and yet the behavior of the police was as it should be but at the very beginning of the incident a verbal warning or a ticket could have been given and the matter closed instead he was pursued like a murder suspect and arrested with multiple police forces this is Highly Questionable so what do you think about those incidents don't forget to write your opinion in the comments take care and stay safe
