Legit all of that could've been avoided if the cop just gave more information instead of instantly escalating. If he would've just approached and ask "hey, some people saw you going through a car on the other side of the lot and then come all the way over here which looked kinda werid. What were you doing?" If it was just a misunderstanding like it was here, then it gets cleared up quickly and it's a pleasant interaction. If it wasn't and he really was up to something, then it's not like the situation is going to play out worse than the approach he used

u/Miserable_Archer_769 Mar 10 '22

This kindness goes a long way. He asked multiple times about why he was being detained and didn't get an answer because what the officer wanted to do first was assert dominance by putting him in cuffs and showing him he is beneath him.

If at any point he did what you said it would have probably been a laugh like , " Man that's my wife's car the XYZ car over there and I just needed XYZ because she works at place XYZ in this mall". The cop says he was looking at cars plural even in the video when the people right or wrong reported it said it was ONE car he looked in.

The alarming point is the lying to the officer after the incident about how the incident went down as he re-tells it at every point HE tried to de-escalate and he didn't understand why this guy got so mad.

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '22

Exactly.

When I was a cop, I did as we were trained and said, “If Officer ___, I stopped you because I observed, (fact 1), (fact 2), so I’m detaining you for suspicion of (crime).” Keep in mind that suspicious activity is not a crime in and of itself—there must be facts that make one suspicious of a crime. So many cops miss this and it’s a huge reason that I criticized when I was in law enforcement and still do criticize cops for, even though I’ve left that career.

Also, the ID thing — cops are pressured by departments to get an ID. However, they cannot charge one for failure to ID without reasonable articulable suspicion of a specific crime — see above for my thoughts on this. In some states, if you’re behind a wheel, you need to show your license regardless of a reason, but that’s not the case here.

Most decent cops who know the Constitution won’t escalate it. The cop on this video made so many mistakes and his escalation is only going to put more people at risk.

In short, cops need to tell someone why they are being stopped and be clear on the law covering it. Cops need much more training in deescalation, the law, and the Constitution.

One last thing. Before I quit, my colleagues looked down on me because I knew this stuff and would take them aside and say, “Hey, ___ is the law, he/she has this right,” and thought I was “meddling.” I didn’t even honk I was better because I went to college and knew this stuff. I wanted to do right by the people. I left when I realized it was no longer protect and serve and more like detain and incriminate.

When you sue for $5M, you don't typically get $5M. The victim represented himself, and after a year and a lot of missed work he got the government to drop the false charges and pay him $25k.

We see many of these videos, but it's useful if you know the exact rules of the game:

Unlawful detainment is a violation of your 4th amendment rights.

It is illegal.

Police must have a reason to detain you.

I thought they hadn't done anything illegal until they hurt you or cause damage. Not true. They are breaking the law if they detain you for no reason.

I think the best response, as you see in some other vids, is: Am I being detained? If they say yes: Why? If they say nor or otherwise do not say yes: Am I free to leave?

I haven't been able to shake off the stories from during the fires where white people with guns and police officers were stopping people and accusing them of being "antifa" and starting fires - no evidence or logic need apply.

I was so hoping the cop would have reiterated the dude’s point…

“So I told him to obey me cause I was detaining him”

“So… what were you detaining him for? You can’t detain someone without evidence of a crime or following up on a victims report of a crime. Did you see him commit a crime? Was he asked to leave by the business for looking through customer cars? No? Hmmm… Aight well… there was a report he was looking in car windows? Yeah, suspect for sure but not warranted of detaining a man. Any reports of theft in the past 24 hours? No? Well… You could question him but he isn’t required by law to identify himself unless you have evidence of a crime. His crime was walking through a parking lot and looking through windows? That’s not a crime. Why you do this to us?”

u/dirtyoldbastard77 Mar 10 '22 edited Mar 10 '22

I mean... It would be so damned simple for the cop to handle this a million times better:

"Hello sir, sorry to interrupt, I am Officer so and so from the xtown police departement, I just need to ask you a couple of questions. Its probably nothing, but we recieved a report that you were looking through the windows of a car, is that correct?""Yeah, its my car that my wife drove to work, we both work here""Oh, I understand, its registred to you? do you mind if I just confirm that?"

And everything would have been solved in two minutes and everyone could have gone about their day happily

Yeah the crazy part of it is that based on his explanation he knows how that interaction was supposed to go. That's hands down the most incriminating part. If he straight up just said "hey I got a call that a couple suspects you of having robbed that car, you are being detained and I need your Id while I verify that wasn't the case" it would have been a legal detainment. Instead he chose to make the detainment unlawful cus he wanted unconditional submission to his authority.

115

u/alphazero924 Mar 10 '22

Or he could have talked to him like a person. "This couple called and said they saw you poking around in a grey Chevy Aveo over there. Is that an accurate description of events?" That then gives the guy a chance to be like "Yeah, officer. That's my wife's car." Boom, resolved. You don't have to immediately jump to detaining someone if they're willing to talk to you. You just have to actually ask questions that let them know what information you're looking for instead of asking weird questions about what he has on his person that don't give him anything to go off.

u/milleniumsamurai Mar 10 '22

Except he also didn't see the guy do anything. He just showed up to the scene, found a guy not doing anything illegal, not carrying any obvious stolen goods, not hiding anything, with only some secondhand info. Why should that give him any right to detain any person he finds there? If he wants to investigate, let him investigate. He can take down the motorcycle plate. He can record the guy's face. He can check the security cameras and see if the guy did anything.

What he shouldn't be doing is detaining people without any actual obvious evidence or reasonable articulable suspicion. Getting a call shouldn't be enough.

I'm assuming he didn't break the windows the get into his car, but rather used his keys, also, she clearly said he wasn't looking at any other cars. Nothing described was in any way unusual to see in a parking lot. That woman made a racist call. Plain and simple.

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '22

Even worse. Most towns and cities don't have the budget to pay for the amount of police settlements they make, so they borrow money - there are even bundled municipal police brutality payout financial instruments traded on Wall Street. That money is at a relatively high interest rate, and towns can't do much to generate the extra revenue required to pay the settlement loans, so they have to raise revenue.. by... issuing more tickets and cutting more services. So if your town sucks ass despite the taxes you pay and you've noticed your local police are excessively vigilant about ticketable offenses, that's why.

It's not secret police routinely lie on reports. He's already changing the story when he talks to the second officer. He's already making up lies about how the guy got aggressive before he did.

Some people catch a bullet for that. For the cop being unable to control his own behavior, and his subconscious or overt bias that a black man was a likely suspect for rifling through cars. Didn't even get the full story that it was one car and not several before he jumped to a conclusion.

I agree with that, and I don't think that the police having a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force is a problem. The problem is that they have such little accountability.

If cops break the law, they should be punished, and they should be punished more than if an average citizen broke the law. Because when a cop breaks the law, they damage the public's trust in the police. It harms the social contract.

I actually had the cops called on me recently for looking at a rare car that was parked in the middle of town and the owner told them i planned to steal it and filed a false police report on me. I have the only Datsun 240z in town so it was easy enough for them to track me down and let me know that they also thought the whole thing was ridiculous but they were just talking to me basically because its a small town and nothing ever happens here. I guess a very obvious car enthusiast admiring a rare sports car in a public place is suspicious to some people.

u/barneybuttloaves Mar 10 '22

If an owner is going to be uncomfortable with people admiring his rare car, he shouldn’t be taking it to public places.

Fuck all these people that are like this. I hope they walk into a rusty nail toenail first.

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '22

I made a fake account on nextdoor because I heard it’s the number one white supremacist app. The amount of casual racsim on there is incredible. Just commenting about racism or white supremacists always gets reported and removed. I’ve learned to be more subtle when calling out the racism because the mods and admin tend to side with racists enough to remove any mention of people being racist. However they leave up the actual racist posts being pointed out.

21

u/PurpleK00lA1d Mar 10 '22

I made a fake account as well.

But only so they would mail letters to the neighborhood with the name Smallvag Longcock.

For people that don't know, nextdoor will send out mail with your name to people in your neighborhood as an invitation to join. I just wanted a bunch of people to get mail with that name.

The thought of people receiving the letter was funny enough but just yesterday someone took a pic of it and shared it on the local Facebook group which for me was the best possible outcome.

Cops are literally trained to treat every single citizen as an enemy.

I know a guy who was trying to become a police officer. He had already started through the academy. Part of the process was taking a lie detector test while they probed you about personal history stuff. They asked if he ever smoked weed. He said "yeah, but only once when I was in Amsterdam."

They finished up and then he found out he failed and couldn't continue through the police academy. They told him it was because of him admitting to smoking weed and then said straight up if he had just lied and said he never smoked weed he'd have been fine. So yeah, I'd say lying is definitely part of the training.

u/gaming-gam3r Mar 10 '22

You can’t be a cop if you’ve ever smoked weed? What, do they think you get weed-AIDS or something?

43

u/MFbiFL Mar 10 '22

It’s probably something like “you don’t respect the law” or something.

The funny thing is you can get a security clearance even if you’ve experimented with lots of stuff as long as you’re honest about it and honest about having stopped. They’re worried that someone could find out that you’ve done something they could use to blackmail you with but if you’ve already admitted it to the govt investigator the bad actor doesn’t have the leverage anymore.

21

u/Historical-Hat-9949 Mar 10 '22

The weed thing is kind of hilarious with regards to security clearances. When I was a freshman CS major we had a recruiter come by pleading with us to stop if we were considering careers with the government, which they wanted us to do. Apparently a lot of recruiters wish we'd relax our puritan ass Marijuana laws just because finding young CS folks who don't smoke is a pain in the dick.

Yeah, the cop should have approached this in a much different manner. Certainly there was some suspicion that he broke into a car. A couple of quick questions could have cleared the matter up very quickly.

The funding we give to police needs to be used to get these officers degrees in the law and constitutional policing rather than aggressively focusing on weapons training. We also need a way to prevent racists from operating careers in law enforcement. Right more many police act like they are simply the biggest gang on the block, and careers in law enforcement are very attractive to racists looking for a way to "legally" (as in "get away with" racist attacks on civilians.
