when dumb cops make mistakes the consequences can be fatal don't ever touch me again get the off we're about to take a look at four cops who messed up so bad they ruined their own career in minutes there are several ways that cops deal with people who are drunk and often they can turn a bad situation around with good policing and the right attitude but it seems that this cop forgot all of his training except for one specific part Sergeant police had been with the Sunrise Police for 20 years and was about as experienced an officer as you could get which makes his actions during an arrest in November 2021 even more confusing when he arrived on the scene he found his fellow cops in the middle of a struggle get in the car no he doesn't want in a car get in the car get in the car all right I'm getting in get your feet in the suspect had been arrested on Sunset Strip after being accused of punching another man and officers are trying to get him inside the patrol car but the suspect isn't playing ball so Sergeant police decides his 20 years of experience is enough to allow him to push other officers aside and take charge hey hey hey look at me look at me look at me you want to play games play with the wrong mother you got do man you going to me me look at the suspect decides to comply when the extremely aggressive officer steps in and you'd think that'd be where the story ends but for some reason police just gets angrier and angrier until one Noble cop decides that they just can't stand by and watch any longer you ever get disrespectful with offic I will remove your from your body what you got do what you got police had to have been having a horrible day as it was his threats to remove the suspect's soul from his body that prompted the young female officer to pull him back this clearly angered him even further leading to him grabbing her by the neck this was not only illegal and a huge overreaction but it was also terrifying for the rookie on the receiving [Music] end we C yes sir and I'll see you in about 5 minutes stop pulling hand somewhere right here police was eventually charged with felony battery of a police officer which comes with a heavy punishment predictably he decided to retire from the Sunrise Police in November 2022 and as of this videos upload his case is still ongoing this is just one of many examples of how cameras are essential to police work but it turns out cameras are not only used to help catch criminals but they can also be used to catch dumb cops in the act this is the dash cam from a man in seab Brook Texas he has just been pulled over by a patrol car and decides to turn his own camera towards him to record the action in all its corrupt Glory why do you pull me over I'll tell you that if you roll it down why can't you tell me now because the reason I pulled you over is you yelling something on your caror so what huh so what that's why you pull me over because I'm yelling I don't know if you need a help or anything oh I don't need help thank you let me see your driver license I don't need help you might be wondering why the driver is being so defensive it all started a few seconds earlier when the driver yelled an exploitive at the officer from his vehicle despite this not being illegal the officer decided to follow him and when the driver signal to turn he was pulled over it's already cracked well it doesn't matter here I don't wish to answer the question students I did when you demand identification I have to display this that's what they told me in the class that's what the law says there are two major mistakes that the officer has already made firstly he claimed he had pulled the driver over for shouting out of his car window but then claimed to have pulled him over to check if he was mentally okay most people know that free speech is protected under the First Amendment and passively yelling curse words is completely legal in America but when the driver challenges this the officer suddenly changes his story and claims he pulled them over for making the turn the turn was perfectly legal making this stop completely unnecessary for a totally different reason luckily the driver is well aware of this and lets this dumb cop show himself up on his dash cam for the whole world to see iell on your breath no you don't how do I know because you can't smell my breath smell something oh really let's see I don't think so yeah where you coming from huh where you coming from you saw me where I was coming from are you done with this I'm done with that yeah all right cool where are you coming from I don't answer questions I've already told you let me know when I'm free to go also what is your name your name Sheriff that's your name Sheriff I I I'm not familiar with the English alphabet sir okay can I have a can can I have an incident number please oh a ticket a ticket okay now the cop is playing hard ball and refusing to give the driver his name but once again this cop is completely incorrect as Texas law requires an officer to provide their identification when asked by a member of the public I have you here okay I don't want you exiting the vehicle because you have a weapon in the car I exit did I exit the vehicle did I exit the vehicle give your heads up did I exit the vehicle hey can I you do have a dash cam right very good you can't just pull me over because I said the police I hope you realize that stupid is that your current address 1622 is that a question yes sir is that your current address do I do I answer questions okay I'll just assume that's incorrect and why would you do that question did you read my address on the driver license didn't have have apartment number on your dri of course he does let me you have already seen it I've already complied with that part okay I'll be right back I say that I've never met anybody quite like you that would yell at an officer doing their job let me understand may I ask you a question you can see by the body language of the officer just how defensive he's become over having his authority challenged he's tried every trick in the book to try and outsmart this driver but nothing's working leading to the worst mistake of the whole interaction questions on there there's the address yeah no I have a question can you get your supervisor here please is the stop over over you all right well you said the stop is over right okay I'm not I'm not getting out I will okay there is no need to draw your weapon man are you drawing your weapon I didn't get out of the car you told me that already a warning for what failed to signal with turn indicator within 100 ft when the officer said the traffic stop was over he also ordered the driver to stay inside his car which he complied with you have to wonder whether this cop can get anything right and after this stop was over the driver filed the complaint and is also due to file a lawsuit if you thought that cop was clueless these next two officers are so dumb they allow themselves to be recorded discussing how to lock up an innocent man I'm on a side of the road legally parked with a sign which is protected by the first amendment when officers see a man holding up a sign on the side of the road in March of 2022 they decide to pull over and check it out the man named Jonathan was warning drivers of the speed trap that they were about to drive fast these two officers took offense big time I'm going to do it right here where I'm at not I have drivers coming up to me telling me that you're jumping out and trapping because apparently they're erroneous I don't give a what some else says what did you witness nothing of the sort so keep your to yourself pal traffic fins make up a percentage of police department's budget and these Delaware cops didn't want Jonathan to stand in their way of that crucial source of income but Jonathan isn't accepting their claims that he's been walking into the road and STS his ground you keep saying jumping in traffic when did you witness this offense you came to me you came to me you came to me you came to me just tell me that you're just so they want to lick your boots let them don't put your hands on me but what one officer does next may have completely violated this citizen's right to express himself don't put your hands on me do not give me my property back you piece of give me my property back you see this you Tyrant piece of what are your badge numbers step back okay don't walk no you stole my property did you see anything in my hands stole your property have a nice day Jonathan goes on to tell the officers that he's going to be right back here with a new sign as soon as he can as he drives away he makes an insulting hand gesture towards the cops and of course they pull him over for it what happens over the course of this traffic stop is not just dumb it's downright corrupt you're stopping me for constitutionally protected speech right because you had your finger your hand out the the window this is what I did you got a problem with that listen to me listen no no all right listen goly conduct no it is not that is that is called freedom of speech if you are out in the public you are out in the public and people see you no it is not here here's what's going to happen license please here what's going to happen I want your supervisor please I am the supervisor I am the supervisor and that's why I'm here both officers seem to be stumbling over exactly what they have pulled them over for and it's honestly starting to look embarrassing at this point and I'm going to take you to court here's what I'm tell take it to court that's what I want you to do that's what I want I want you to take it to court so but before we go any further you're pulling me over for what because you conduct you had your finger disly conduct here what's about to happen you're about to be arrested again for resisting arrest no I'm not resisting anything yeah yeah right now you're right now you're you're being detained okay you're being detained you why I stopped you already sir for putting my middle finger up that's correct correct exactly you extended your arm out the window no I have my middle finger out the window okay let's get your let me get your IDE you had your middle finger out the window it appears the officers are trying to arrest him on any charges they can and when that doesn't work they resort to dirty tricks the next thing you do we're going to take you in we're going to tow the car we'll call uh Social Services for the kid oh so now you're threatening now you're threatening my child it's not threat it's a promise you're threatening my child now I'm telling you what's going to happen you heard the officer right he's just threatened to get Social Services involved and have Jonathan child taken away from him but what makes this case even more shocking is the fact that these two cops plan to lock him up whatever it took and it was all recorded on their own dash cam I'm telling you if you put your arm out the road your hand out the road and you like with a middle finger you could that's like a isn't that I'm I'm pretty you sure about that middle finger Ian he pulled over giv the middle yeah giv yeah for giving a middle finger so you can't do that Geto yeah it's going to get I told him that's going to get thrown out but it it's just going you know that's going to cause the problem even after they are told by their supervisor that the charges will be thrown out they still have a grand plan to put Jonathan in handcuffs right right something like that that'll fly unforunately I mean yeah you can't we can't pull people over we can't ride up tickets for us [ __ ] off giving us the middle finger and stuff like that yeah you know that's that's right to do so yeah but all right I'll do some more work up on this guy and uh I'll uh I'll pass it on and then number two yeah he you know we have no real basis yeah so he's gonna do something stupid one day where we are going to be able to lock him up for dis ho conduct or and and I just wish we had the witness and and even had it on video in the end Jonathan filed a lawsuit against the officers saying they violated his constit tional rights by preventing him from warning motorists about a speed trap in September 2023 he won the case and was awarded a $50,000 settlement sum nobody likes bad cops so it's even more satisfying when a good cop takes one down which is exactly what happened next on January 14th 2021 a resident of Harnet County North Carolina reported her dirt bike as stolen what followed was a series of events that led to an innocent 14-year-old being treated like a dirty criminal okay do me a favor man go and put your hands on back for me okay 16 days after the dirt bike was reported missing it appeared on Facebook Marketplace and when the owner saw this they set up a meeting with the seller in order to catch them out when they arrived they were met by 14-year-old Malcolm who did indeed have their dirt bike they agreed to a deal and told Malcolm that they were headed out to an ATM machine to get the cash out when in fact they were calling 911 the problem here was Malcolm was completely innocent and had bought the dirt bike off the true criminal in good faith without realizing it was stolen he had made a hobby of fixing up bikes and selling them on an impressive hustle for one so young so you can imagine his surprise when instead of finding himself in profit he found himself in handcuffs okay what's your name Malcolm I have what's your last name Malcolm Ziggler yeah okay you got your ID on you no I do not okay but that wasn't us riding We hav R at all this week where do you where do you stay you stay here yeah okay okay I haven't read it all today he L just came by here who's that guy who's that guy running down the street that's his friend they say somewhere up there okay give me a favor man go and put your hands back for me okay I you're in possession of a stolen motor vehicle what what DS you want to go and verify that for me what do me a favor man just um come to my car right over here okay what the can I get the bill of sale and show you that I bought it yeah yeah we'll get all that taken care of man but what I when I need do just hang tight for me right here okay the officer places him under arrest without verifying any of the facts he had no way of knowing if Malcolm was in fact in possession of stolen goods and spent no time attempting to hear his side of the story well I'm going to work on getting you out of those soon okay just keep cooperating with me I appreciate it and we we'll get everything squ away sto before sir I'm trying to find this bu and and I'm not saying that you stole it right now what we've got is we just got a stolen motor vehicle um we're not saying that you stole the vehicle okay I'm not saying that at all okay but it it still is a crime to be in possession of a stolen motor vehicle the officer claims it is illegal to be in possession of a stolen vehicle which may be true in most cases but not here if a suspect willingly buys or owns an item that they know is stolen then that is a crime but since Malcolm was ignorant to this fact he was totally innocent and this arrest could prove to be extremely unlawful I can tell you I can show you if you can go on I can you go on my and I can show you exactly where I bought okay we met at the lington Presbyterian Church okay if you know what that is okay toian well your dad's coming over here right now it about 8:30 when we met hey how you doing sir hey um Dad I need that sale reason all this is going down um that vehicle been stolen International crime information center do you have the bill of sale B cancer I don't I don't know where it is it's either in my room or in the garage as Malcolm's father tries to find proof his son bought the bike legally two other responding officers begin to voice their concerns over what is happening in front of their very eyes is he or 1095 from what I heard 1095 and that was before I even verified the van okay but that's why my first thing I asked that's that's what I now I'm not 100% certain but I believe I heard 10 I heard essentially 295 before I was even able to verify the van eventually one of the decides to intervene is he detained he's detained right now because he is he's 14 yes okay so I already explained to him he's detained right now I told him that so why is he detained because that's a stolen under vehicle okay so I mean dig verified the VIN number right did you is that before all that that you verified before you I detained him and then ver asked if he was 1095 or detained he's detained okay so obviously he's a juvenile right yeah ain't no sense having sit in the car tent with handcuffs on where you ain't if he was 18 and you might be taken on jail for possession stolen property different but we you ain't going to take him Joe right it's going to be a petition M the officer clearly knows what he's talking about when he explains the difference between detaining an adult and a child and after urging his fellow officer to reconsider his position the arresting cop finally comes to his senses after finally being released Malcolm found the receipt for the dirt bike and no further action was taken but his family later released a press conference where they asked for police reform in the wake of another juvenile suffering mistreatment at the hands of law enforcement if
