thanks Sandra I already pointed it out to him earlier well there's oh nothing oh no on I got sounds good go is she free to go yeah she's free to go is she free to go yeah she's free to go yeah we're going to book him real quick and give him the M Perkins was released because she hadn't done anything wrong and her boyfriend is taken into cut and her boyfriend is arrested for failing to sit on the curb the fourth amendment applies to protect people who have been seized by the police even just brief detentions that are short of a traditional arrest so whenever a police officer costs an individual and restrains his or her freedom to just walk away that individual has been seized and the fourth amendment requires that that seizure be reasonable so in the absence of a warrant a stop such as that must be supported at least by reasonable in articulable suspicion that the person seized is engaged in criminal activity that's according to the US Supreme Court in Reed versus Georgia from 1980 reason anal suspicion must be determined based on the totality of the circumstances of each case and exist when the detaining officer has a particularized and objective basis for suspecting legal wrongdoing accordingly a reasonable suspicion cannot be supported by an incho and UNP particularized suspicion or a hunch that's United States versus soala 1989 a Searcher seizure is ordinarily unreasonable in the absence of individualized Suspicion of wrongdoing here the only facts set forth to provide the basis for reasonable suspicion to detain these individuals is remaining at a gas station too long or switching drivers the officer says that that's just abnormal well abnormal is not criminal this sort of detain first and then find evidence later approach has been repeatedly and emphatically rejected by the federal courts in determining whether a search and seizure were unreasonable and therefore illegal the court looks at two things whether the officer's actions were Justified at its Inception and then whether it was reasonably related in scope to the original circumstances that justified the seizure in the first place so police officers cannot use after Thea rationalizations to justify the initial stop here the police officers don't point to any particularized facts known at the time that this stop occurred that alleged any criminal wrongdoing or any criminal activity had occurred at all and in fact doesn't appear that any crime was committed that day the only crime that was charged was an obstruction charge for failure to sit on the curb during this illegal detention and if if they don't meet this reasonable suspicion standard at the very Inception of the stop then everything else is illegal Al which takes place afterwards remember these were pedestrians at the time the stop occurred the the officers usually can just pull somebody over and say that well your tag light was out or you didn't put put on your blinker or just pick one of the like hundreds of traffic um laws out there when they stop pedestrians they can't do that they actually have to come up with something legitimate here there's nothing legitimate that they can point to assuming that there were then you get into other issues one is the fact that they frisked these individuals and the case law is very clear that this is called a Terry frisk in order to Frisk you for weapons and that's that's what it's for it's not to search for Contraband it's for officer safety reasons a police officer has to have probable cause to believe that you were armed and dangerous or armed and therefore dangerous here there are no facts indicating to the police officers that either of these IND indviduals are armed and I don't see any facts indicating that they are dangerous they're just being frisked clearly looking for drugs and that's why they bring the drug dog there and that brings up yet another issue is the length of the stop so even if there was reasonable suspicion at the Inception and some detention was justified here it appears that it was like 90 minutes into this interaction that the drug dog arrived now drug dogs are used all over the country but the trick is that the cops have to get them there within a reasonable amount of time they can't extend the length of the detention to wait for a drug dog 90 minutes is way too long but again we don't even we shouldn't even get there because there was there was no reasonable suspicion at the Inception we also have a First Amendment violation here they're being told that their phones have to be seized that they can't film that they can't call their lawyers there doesn't appear to be any officer safety reason to seize these phones again that is them attempting to collect evidence or to fish for evidence that's what they're doing um exactly what they're not allowed to do which is detain illegally and then fish for evidence looking for an after the fact justification this video went viral locally there in Idaho and people were calling for this Deputy to be fired in fact it spurred apparently a Facebook group East Idaho Copwatch discussing not only this video but others involving this particular department and apparently they've had other problems including two deputies charged with crimes in separate cases last year Deputy Fred hail pled guilty to destroying evidence after stealing pornography from a crime scene and Deputy Troy damaran pled guilty to indecent exposure after exposing himself to a dispatcher at work both men are no longer longer with the Department according to the media report Mitch golden a spokesperson for the sheriff's office said that he was limited in what he could comment on citing that there was an active criminal case well yeah of course there's an active criminal case because you guys gave this guy a bogus charge we can say that we are aware of many people's concerns about the video we've taken a number of them ourselves we're aware of the situation at this time we're going to see how this case pans out in court when the full contacts can be given but according to the media report the court documents don't provide any more context than what we see in the video I've looked for any information on whether there was any additional news either on the criminal charges or whether there was there was any discipline or change in policy it doesn't look like it in fact I I saw one person comment on Facebook that this particular Deputy has been promoted to a detective now and that wouldn't surprise me at all this really isn't even a close case this agency has documented themselves violating the Constitution they could care less they're Brazen about it and they're continuing to do it and they will continue to do it unless people demand accountability what you can do is share this footage it needs to go more viral it did not go viral enough it needs to go more viral it needs to be shared so that everybody knows how they operate in Teton County Idaho remember Idaho not Wyoming so I'll put the information that I can find on the Teton County Idaho Sheriff's Office in the first pin comment below if these are your public servants you can make your feelings known to them you can express your protected First Amendment speech that and probably that alone will bring accountability that is the only thing that works if you have more information on what's happened since then that I haven't been able to find please send it my way U subscribe both here and at the blog at the Civil Rights lawyer.com because as you can see I've been trying to do updates to all my videos so I'll definitely do an update on this if I get additional information you can follow me on Twitter at John Brian Esq if you have a video to submit
