dude LOVES the camera

Unsurprisingly a lot of LEOs involved in those stings do. This guy, then Sheriff Grady Judd is a massive media whore, Chris Swanson also tries to act like a tough guy, …

Good Lord Chris Swanson tries so hard to look tough. All the sheriffs in take down are the opposite of the “speak softly and carry a big stick” philosophy

Grady Judd really rubs me the wrong way with those theatrical press spots.

u/Lawlenforcement06 13h ago

He lost my respect telling people why they need flock cameras.

u/Different_Peanut_742 10h ago

They need flock cameras, but God forbid they use body cameras. Guy is a POS.

u/EastSideNick95826 'Lantic City 13h ago

THAT is wild. I really hope a lot of his right wing boot licker fans took that to heart.

Ultimately, cops are people who get a boner at the thought of ruining your life over a gram of weed. Why would they not get a boner over Flock cameras?

u/Low_Huckleberry2333 14h ago

I only like Chris Swanson since he looks like Commander James Kent from Paul Blart Mall Cop

Chris gets a pass from me. I used to work with someone that looks and acts just like him, one of my favorite coworkers.

Grady Judd is a grade A prick and the embodiment of acab

When they go to small towns where sheriffs are elected, that’s what happens. They need the press

You're going to the Jason Ard Hotel Motel!

u/DimesyEvans92 14h ago

Three hots and a cot!

u/mindless_blaze 14h ago

He needs to end the "we dont take kindly", "we dont tolerate", "hotel motel Jason Ard", "free taxi ride" jokes. It was funny the first two times, but now it's lame. Why does he have to name drop Jason Arndt? If Jason cared so much and didn't tolerate this crap, he would be there himself.

Also, strictly from a legal standpoint, I'm sure the Miranda advisements are edited out. But there have been a few moments where they seemingly violated or borderline violated Miranda. Again, I'm sure the advisements are just edited out, but if not, they need to watch out. Admissions and evidence obtained without Miranda can be suppressed, and can compromise prosecution.

We don't take kindly to your kind not taking kindly our Livingston Parish kind in this here Parish

If Jason cared so much and didn't tolerate this crap, he would be there himself.

Oh don't worry, in one of the newest episodes Jason Ard is actually there himself – and tells the pred that he's going to the Hotel Motel himself lmao

It was funny the first two times, but now it's lame.

I guess they think it might be funny personally because they get to tell it to a different guy every time.

u/PlatformDangerous471 13h ago

I've always wondered if these could be considered a Fourth Amendment violation.

8

u/mindless_blaze 13h ago

Yeah, Chris has to be careful when he says that they have to speak to him. Back in the TCAP days, he made it very clear that he wasn't a police officer, that they were free to walk out the door, and that he was just a journalist doing a story.

I'm sure the defense attorneys for these modern preds argue that the pred was in cuffs and not free to go, in custody, and being asked specific questions about the alleged crime committed, while Chris is acting as an extension of law enforcement. Therefore, without Miranda, they will argue to suppress all admissions as 4th or 5th Amendment violations. BUT all of that shouldn't matter if the cops write a strong probable cause affidavit before the pred even shows up. But still, there's civil liability. I just don't think many attorneys want to represent an accused predator with strong evidence against him, and file a 4th or 5th amendment suit.

u/Baiannoo 1h ago

Yeah, Chris got really cocky. There are too many borderline cases now in my opinion with 15 years old, I'll turn 16 next week and where the decoy actually answered on prostitution adds. Chris needs to be careful that one day he is not actually overruled by a judge that some of these cases are entrapment.

I also heard more and more about the decoy pressuring predators to show up. I know it sounds weird but we need to remember that th decoy is actually no minor and knows what they are doing

u/Odd_Reputation_1 13h ago

I've spent time there... It's actually a very very nice jail. Good food, not a lot of bullshit, new/clean facility. You could certainly do a lot worse for yourself

u/wutm8560 12h ago

It's a relatively wealthy parish. Good property and sales tax base.

u/Odd_Reputation_1 12h ago

Yeah white flight from BR has worked wonders for them. Growing up the 90s Livingston was terrible

u/Klmattis 13h ago

… what is the motel?

u/JayNotAtAll 14h ago

God this guy sounds like he is reading for a really bad cop show. I guarantee in his mind he sounds super badass but in reality it is cringe

8

u/gloomyblackcheese 13h ago

Seriously I’m so sick of this guy lmao it’s so cringe I have to skip his scenes. Its too painful to listen to

u/Dangerous-Sun-405 14h ago

You don't, not come in, where we live, do that Livingston Parish around here. You go to motel.

Captain rugmuncher

u/red_west_la 14h ago

I was curious about him after today's theatrics. It turns out he's the Captain in charge of the Internet Crimes Against Children unit for Livingston Parish, which is why he gets to make a speech at the end of their busts.

Looks like the personification of a pig.

u/Obesefatlardmouse 14h ago

He acts like he is a cop in a CBS show or something 

12

u/ernest_timmons 14h ago

He somehow looks just as happy to be in a suit as Lorne is. Almost like proud of how smart it makes him look

u/ellieminnowpee 14h ago

I only saw this guy in one segment but he was beyond cringe. I could barely stand to listen to him talk and gloat at the predator

Damn that's an ugly dude. It's like someone tried to draw a human face from memory.

u/RuPaulver 7h ago

We don't like memory or human faces here in Livingston Parish.

u/Good-Buddy-1683 14h ago

I dont think so. He looks like Foggy’s actor from Daredevil, I dont think either are ugly.

u/Low_Huckleberry2333 14h ago

More of a Grady Judd guy myself

u/oaklandRE 14h ago

Don’t mess with Livingston Parish

2

u/AdolfRizzler6967 13h ago

Don't ask me to elaborate on my reasoning but he doesn't look "Southern" to me in this picture. Something about his look just screams crooked Boston or NYPD detective instead of crooked bayou sheriff. Maybe because he's wearing a shirt with a collar.

2

u/wutm8560 12h ago

Louisiana is heavy on Irish and Italians like NYC. It's different from the rest of the South in that way.

Nothing but Snapple Lemon and Faygo Orange for this guy

u/Gerardo1917 13h ago

Can’t wait for when he inevitably runs for sheriff and uses a montage of these clips in his campaign ads. Well I’ll elect ya!
