okay so you could just put your hands in small your back for me okay Not only was he in clear error because he was driving Under the Influence but he went on to lie about his single margarita drink when in fact he had a double shot to top it all off Ian was utterly rude to the officers as if the officers were pestering him for no reason when he had been irresponsible and was the root of the problem here just another test station is this another is it just what's that why why are you why are you taking for driving D based off his observations and test all right so basically what happens

lizer test because I said Bas so so it's everything in account you're driving you must ran a car off the road okay and then your tests based upon my observations I reason believe you're under the you intoxicated tonight okay intoxicated drive drive that's why we take you back we read this thing to you we'll explain it to you when we get back to the station just because you're we're out here like you said you you have your arguments you know that's what Courts for we're not this is it's an accusation it doesn't mean that you're found guilty here and everything I'm in handcuff because of op of accusation correct yes do you anything on Ian Smith's car was noticed to have been swerving out of its Lane several times in the police dash cam video and even nearly veering into another car endangering the life of an innocent civilian this was of course highly irresponsible and undependable behavior for a man running for Congress made this up like I'm not I'm not trying to be difficult

and and you're telling me that that I'm under arrest and that you essentially put me in hand will at the end of the police cam video Ian Smith spoke violently telling the officer about him being a Congressional candidate he even dared to threaten the officers as he was being arrested for his clearly illegal actions he was charged with reckless driving careless driving and refusing to consent to a breathalyzer test later on he plead guilty to refusing breathalyzer test and the DUI charges were dismissed the breath detector device was ordered to remain in place inside Ian Smith's vehicle for 9 months but if you think that the rudess and Corruption of politicians stop here you're mistaken let's jump into the next case Cas about a certain Dean Davis Hey DJ they said that they can detain me right now you're not being detained you're being arrested oh I'm being arrested TJ for what Republican intoxication This Is 50 years old Oklahoma lawmaker Dean Davis who's about to get famous for all the wrong reasons on March 23rd 2023 only 20 days after his probation expired for a DUI arrest representative Davis was caught by police on allegation of public drunkenness during his dispute with the

hey by the way thank you for this my shoulders are hurt than David argued with the officer and allegedly told him that he doesn't possess the power to arrest him however Sergeant Timothy Brewer made it clear that he can and went on to rightfully arrest him for public drunkenness later that afternoon David insisted that he didn't do anything wrong but nevertheless apologized for creating unnecessary distraction from the important work of the house if you think he was the only politician who got Instant Karma wait until you watch this next case what jurisdiction do you have well I'm a police officer sir do you mind rolling down the passenger side window for my partner yes yes you do M yes okay this is Carlos Garcia a councilman from Phoenix City City on September 9th 2019 Mr Garcia was driving in his vehicle and was commuting to attend a meeting he was pulled over by a couple of officers from the University of Arizona Police Department watch how the interaction unfolds between them hey good morning sir my name isaro the AC Police Department the reason why I pulled you over today is cuz your plate say they're suspended um so real quick jurisdiction do you have what's that what jurisdiction do you have well I'm a police officer sir do you mind rolling down the passenger side window for my partner yes yes you do mine yes okay okay well I'm it's just for my safety and his

officer through State of Arizona sir I'm Arizona's post certified okay which means I have jurisdiction you know in the state of Arizona okay so like I said the reason why I pulled you over is because your license plate did return suspended okay what do you mean like it doesn't have oh well it could be a a number of different things sir that's something that you know myself and you have to figure out okay your license plate on the vehicle yes it says so primarily primarily suspended due to lack of financial responsibility so insurance so did you change insurance companies or something and did not report it to the MBD my car it's my dad's car it's your dad's car yes okay well like I said that's primarily the respon run my plate well sir we have jurisdiction like I said in this area outside of ASU I understand sir and this is still within our jurisdiction okay like I said I have jurisdiction in the state of Arizona I am an Arizona certified police officer okay and so right now I'm asking you for license registration and proof Insurance please I don't you have jurisdiction okay you could I'm not here to sit and argue with you sir what you do and don't believe I'm telling you exactly

this is the insurance okay sir let me check things out I'll be right back okay just stay in the vehicle for me to those who might not know running a check on a vehicle's license plate does not violate the Citizen's Fourth Amendment rights the fourth amendment protects citizens from unreasonable seizures and searches by law enforcement however in this case the Supreme Court has indicated that law enforcement does not require a probable reason for checking the plates watch how the encounter proceeds [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] okay right on I'll tell him we got to remove the plate and

regarding setting up a board to review police conduct which was approved by legislator after this incident Mr Garcia continued to serve as the councilman of Phoenix City if but if you think that oppression and intimidation by politicians end here then wait until you find out about the case of Martin Hyde sir can I have pleas Seven Years sir a 53-year-old Sarasota Congressional candidate

video was released Martin Hyde finally apologized to officer beskin giving the statement the result was a video that showed me at my rather pathetic worst and for which no apology or explanation is likely to be accepted nor should it be however I will say this one more time for posterity I am sorry officer Julia beskin the overall dispute ended How It Should Have by Martin's apology politicians must know that they aren't an exception of Law and they have no legal grounds to threaten any officer doing his or her Duty even when it's not in their favor if you think this was the last politician

going to take those down myself right now until we can figure out constitutionally what's going on the right thing right thing to do this is Mr Robert Leo the mayor of the town of Berwin on November 8th 2021 a First Amendment auditor named Shawn Paul Reyes reached the city hall in Berwin Illinois to conduct the audit on the signs that demonstrated that it was not permitted to film inside the

here that this officer just saw you just saw him trying to take my phone from me you just witnessed it I tried to stop you from recording me that's against the law this is a constitutionally protected activity I have the right to film the police in the course of their duties government officials in the course of their duties not when I'm on my phone you're looking at my phone it doesn't matter you

Paul Reyes was handcuffed and arrested for felony eavesdropping however he was well within his rights to film outside the premises the officer informs Mr Paul Rees that he has a right to not be recorded this might violate the First Amendment rights of the citizens that permit the filming of law enforcement offic ERS under freedom of speech Mr Paul Reyes was released after 5 hours and the charges against him were changed to misdemeanor of disorderly conduct but I'm going to pull the signs down now until K could determine the Constitutional issue of it you're going to pull the signs

Banning filming after the protest by Mr Paul Reyes the removal of these posters might not align with the law as the ban on filming inside the premises was based on constitutional law to prevent eavesdropping initially the public praised Mr lao's actions but they may not be in the best interest of the people how however he didn't face any legal repercussions for his actions it's frightening

is 57-year-old Patrick Cannon who was elected as the Charlotte mayor in November 2013 and took charge of the office in December however since August 2010 the FBI had been investigating Patrick Cannon for suspicions of bribery later on Patrick Cannon was charged with theft and bribery concerning concerning programs receiving federal funds honest Services wire fraud and extortion under the color of official right later on the FBI released this video of Canon accepting bribery the fees and everything has package fee which gets us on up to that number so okay well tell me what I need to do just move forward oh [Music] huh we done yeah I me you need 12 basically uh that's it cuz the only thing I'll be going forward um I'm having a guy I'm having a lawyer which I'm prob cost me more about 100 bucks but he's just making sure that hers is is protected out there I her something but I think we're good to go and U and all that yeah there is 12 5 the radar you just keep a [Music] St yeah um [Music] okay um let's see that2 short it is clear from the video that Mr Canon is accepting bribery selling the oath of his office violating the Integrity of the government and betraying the citizens of Charlotte you said what it is that's what it is it is okay my word thank you thank you all right um when will you be ready to kind of get started with everything else you just kind of going through the process now just working through the properties that you need to call you within I'm trying to get in the scheduling is getting my GC here kind of run through the building to identify any problems that we going to have then you know pass it on you but like I said within 30 I'll have something in March 2024 after 8 hours of his arrest Canon resigned from his position as he should have for betraying the citizens of Charlotte in June 2014 Patrick pleaded guilty to one count of honest Services wire fraud he was sentenced to 44 months in jail after he pleaded guilty to accepting $50,000 as bribe followed by 2 years of supervised release judge Whitney also ordered Canon to pay a fine of $10,000 in forfeiture in the amount of $50,000 it is alarming to see politicians trying to use their power and influence to get out of tricky situations however it is also heartening to see that some of them were held accountable for their actions if you enjoyed this video be sure to drop a like And
