but the thing the issue here is if they can film what happens in their own property not in public so the opinion of the fourth district is irrelevant here
Hi, my name is Jason Tartt, the man being arrested in this video. Just wanted to thank the channel for the support and shedding more light on the situation. I learned a lot from your breakdown of the situation. People need this type of education when it comes to dealing with “so-called” law enforcement. Many thanks to all the great comments and support from your viewers as well. Peace
The audacity to tell someone to go inside on their own porch, then illegally step on their porch and physically move them inside. No training would fix this, it’s a personality problem.
He keeps mocking her for saying she's scared, then proves immediately EXACTLY why she SHOULD be scared of them! I sincerely hope those cops never work in a position of power ever again. They should be prosecuted for what they did here. Losing their jobs isn't nearly enough.
Let this be a sample of what just has transpired with credit card companies creating a new code for the purchase of firearms in their system. By default there is a gun registry and when the time comes officers feel the need to rid you of your lawfully purchased gun this is where we will be.
Exactly, and the fact that the officer acted like asking a incriminating question was just a question that wasn’t offensive whatsoever is crazy to me, cause if i asked if you stole my pencil in class or took something off my desk just because you sat beside me then you would definitely take offense to it. these cops are dumb and by the end of this video i hope i find that they were released from their positions.
Makes me sick when they order people into their house from their own damn porch I'd definitely end up in jail over that no one is telling me to get in my house from my own damn porch
@@MrAAgabriel That was the most outrageous part of the whole incident. I feel for those two and how they must feel for being forced back into their house. I hope the satisfaction they get from the lawsuit helps to assuage that feeling.
What hurts my heart is that they expressed their rights in the sweetest, most patient patient way, and the cop still chose to mock the woman for being scared and then proceeds to shove them inside? Oh the irony.
@@harrynicholes3166 HE addresses his wife this way. If he's that much of a pos that he would do it to an innocent stranger, that reveals his character.
As I've been saying for years, when citizens successfully sue, the money should come out of these police officers' pensions. Their unions should pay. This way, you also get the other officers to hold them accountable.
When officers abuse their power there should be no immunity and they should lose it for the rest of their career. Officers will only get sued once and either change their attitude or quit. ?
I agree with you; I too have been saying the same thing for years. Also, when the money comes out of the pensions the police union will have a different view about supporting incompetent and ignorant officers (immunity). They should lose their homes and financial stability just like anyone else who may be sued for negligence, such as nurses, doctors, teachers, etc. They are the only ones on the planet who are allowed to use deadly weapons/force (besides armed guards) during the course of their work. However, one excuse they use is "fear for their lives"; but it's ridiculous to them for innocent citizens to say to them that they "fear for their lives". He knew exactly what the lady meant by "the season we're living in". Officers should be held accountable and lose their personal assets.
@Public Square she was literally scared of this exact scenario or similar scenario happening. The fact that the officers went up to them essentially accusing them of being involved with some marijuana grow not even on their property..Who wouldn’t be scared of being accused of a crime they didn’t commit? And by the way this couple was not disrespectful or aggressive and the man had already complied with giving them his name in the beginning. These officers were just abusing their power

@@Cassandra6 5 plants nearby and THIS a top priority in the entire neighborhood ? I'm sure nothing serious or pressing was going on elsewhere. 🙄🤔 If it's so alarming, they should of just uprooted & removed them.
Mr.Tart stood tall. He knew he was going to have to suffer a little in order to make this officer pay. He understood he was going to have to go through hell in order to protect the next guy. Thank you, Mr.Tart. You have every bit of my respect. Thank you! They both need to lose their badges and never get them back. Neither deserve to be officers ever again!
@@carryeveryday910 if youve ever been physically assulted without being able to defend yourself or have anyone who can help you, you know what hes talking about. If you dont keep your mouth shut
It won’t change anything. This cop won’t get any kind of punishment he’ll be promoted I bet. And it’s going to be years before our guy gets any legal accountability or settlement.
They've got the Best CONSTITUTIONAL & CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER IN THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA. Chech out THE CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER RU-vid channel. BROWN SHIRT MARTIN, I see his day coming if he doesn't get fired. Likewise his COMRADE too.
I respect the HELL out of Mr. Tart for standing his ground and not giving these pigs an inch. So many would lose their temper or concede to their demands. You did everything perfectly with your pride intact.
Why? You think the officers pay out? No, taxpayers do. Making victims and lawyers rich isn't the answer. Better training and a purge of bad officers is what's needed.
I respect Mr. Tartt immensely for simply accepting an unfair arrest rather than caving in to the demands of Tyrants. I wish him all the best in the courtroom.
Hmmmm… It’s folk like you that kept the Nazis in power, resulting in the deaths of more than 40 million innocent people. Maybe you should check your priorities.
That is what is known as A Chad Maneuver. "You know what, you're right. I'm *Hindering your job*, arrest me. Go ahead. Arrest me. No no no, I'm hindering your job, right? Arrest me then." You could *taste* every "Clown Idiot Motherfucker" between the lines.

The correct avemue is almost always through the courts. Some people who Are being victimised dont understand this and make it physical. Even if the original thing is tossed in court prosecutors can ruin your life for the physical part. You can sit in jail for years before evem being brought to trial
That struck me as odd from the officer as well. He is basically saying "hey, why are you scared that I am accusing you of a crime and threatening to arrest you? It's not like people die during police interactions"
@@myonline1985 Go check out the Civil Rights Lawyer youtube channel this is his lawsuit and he points out all the things the cops did wrong. This will never go to trial they're going to settle and say they didn't do anything wrong.

You can ask them for a copy of" Oat of office"and there "surety bond"which then you can file a claim against legally same as a law suit but lawyer doesn't tell you

So when cops realize they screwed up, they don't show up to court so that the case is dismissed. This way, a "Not Guilty" verdict can not be made. When we fail to show up to court, we are issued an arrest warrant.
everythings really fckd up now and because so many things are happening at once - a day of reckoning is coming to the boil - unavoidably there will be an uncontrollable roar with much sadness following much madness - unavoidable now
And this gives them the chance to knowingly do things like this and just don’t show up for court. Now had he not showed up judge buddy would have sent for arrest and the man would never knew the cops didn’t show up. THE MIGHTY SET UP! All in on it…..
Not in all cases. If it’s a criminal complaint alleging criminal activity they have to show up. This is why it’s very important to get a attorney if something like this happens
Whats worse is that the prosecutor didnt drop the case well before the court date. It is somewhat understandable that a police officer might get confused or misapply a law, and if there was a culture of superiors and prosecutors double checking their officers homework then these kinds of mistakes could be generally fogiven and corrected. However what we have is a culture of protection through avoidance. Everyone ignores the problem and hope that either the victims get to tired or scared to pursue a lawsuit, or the officers get themselves canned or killed.
"You're scared because I asked a question? That just ridiculous!" Promptly trespasses onto their property to arrest someone for.... obstructing an investigation that has nothing to do with them.
A friend of mine uses that technique. Ignoring the obvious and even claiming to not know anything about it. "What times we live in?" as if to completely de-acknowledge the legitimate concerns of the person who is just expressing themselves. Both cops in this story are in the wrong.
Ordinary Cops are idiots. If they really wanted to figure out who the plants belong too they could set up a trail camera that texts the photos out. They are inexpensive and work like a charm. We’ve busted several trespassers with them.
He seems to not know the implications behind his particular question, its reasonable that she get scared. If they say yes, they go to jail/prison the whole works if they say no he wont believe them and keep pressing the issue so just by asking that question he already put them in a situation where they should be scared.
Love how the man called the pigs' bluff with them threatening to arrest him and their egos had no choice but to go through with it. Hope he gets justice at the end of all this.
Seriously. Every guy knows what it's like to get into a pissing match. Any every guy eventually learns when it's time to just swallow your pride and cut your "losses." Those who don't usually wind up in jail. Or become cops, apparently.
It's just a question ma'am... Yes, just a question with legal implications and possible consequences. These officers need to be fired ASAP, they are extremely dangerous to the general public.
@@blacksuburban2410 knowing how cowardly cops act, I doubt it. They'd die of a hearattack doing paperwork before they'd go out and actually put themselves in danger.
Pure contempt of cop. As soon as that lady asked for their names and brought up that we are in a unprecedented time of weaponization and abuse by law enforcement against normal citizens that cop was gonna punish her and her family for bringing it up no matter how many rights and freedoms he had to stomp on to do so
@@WitnessingTyranny obnoxious...in maine the local cops compliment folks on their plants when they are forced to stop by for another issue..... cannabis has so many healthy attributes and these poor folks got treated real nasty here..... when does a cop just say to themselves, "this is BS, these folks are harmless, good people, and I'm sure glad everyone on this street smokes and doesn;t drink." So f'in sad.
@@WitnessingTyranny it makes me angry for them.... they should have the legal right to have a grand ole time growing 3 plants per adult in the family.....people have a ball growing their own cannabis and it's damn criminal to take such a healthy pleasure from folks.... cause the years go by and some people in many states get shafted while in other states the opposite.... real bad, and I bet west virginia controls their booze like socialist crooks, a proven killer of people.
Hang in there Jason. That officer shouldn’t be allowed to be an officer. What an unprofessional way to go about that situation. Sending love your way brother 🙏🙏🙏
@@jacquelinewilson3049 mostly they just resign before being fired and go work with some other police department. Funny how americans think they live in the best ocuntry on the planet hahahaah
He identified himself as the owner of the property. The investigation should have been about the marijuana. If they suspected him for growing it, they should have arrested him for that. I don't see how his date of birth had anything to do with it.
& the audacity of him stepping on their porch,, forcing that lady and man in their own home when they have did nothing wrong erks my soul !!! & yes he provided his name when the idiot 1st asked,,, they wanted to find a reason to arrest him because he was black and they're racist
This Black Man DESTROYED that officer in one line: "Alright take me to jail I am obviously hindering your investigation." I cannot stop laughing! This man is a Legend!
Except for admitting to a crime on their body cam. I know he was being sarcastic, but that's probably the thing that will knock him out of getting any money? He should have remained silent.
@@michaelharrington75 he didnt admit to committing a crime because no crime was committed nor was he hindering any investigation . That is why the cop stopped when he stepped on the porch saying he was going to arrest the man he thought by being a bully and making the threat that the man would give him his name , he wasnt expecting the man to call his bluff and say "Fine , arrest me" .
@@michaelharrington75 What crime did he admit to? He literally was being sarcastic after numerous times of saying he's not hindering him from doing his job.

cops in the us seem to crave arrests so much they use any minor obscure reasoning to handcuff you. i dont understand how these people can call themselves police when they act like that.
@@chappiestclair1821 They had every reason to fear an officer. This is an example of that. They had the right to not answer any of his questions, so the officer is in the wrong.
Googled Jason Tart West Virginia. I don't know if it is a coincidence or not but CNN Kamua Bell interviewed him for a number of plants including hemp plants in West Virginia. No idea if the farmer was pushed into a direction he wasn't going or not.
When dude just puts his hands behind his back and says, “Yeah. You right, take me to jail.” The cop panicked because his attempt to escalate the situation absolutely failed. 😆
That escalated quickly right? Then went backwards - it was a bizarre exchange of passive/aggressive behavior. And I am completely impressed with him remaining calm..he was a gentleman and I wish him well.
This police officer can't just walk up to someone and ask "Did you just murder a person?" and expect the person to respond in any normal way, of course it's accusatory.
I was once asked if i was the one running. I honestly thought the cop was gonna ask me something else, and it kinda left me speechless. I said no. And he just gave me a weird look, i wasnt even out of Breath, i was outside my house, so why would someone who ran stay out in public like that.after a bit he started talking with another cop about how i could go to prison. Only to then realize they hadn't ask for my name or age, i was under age at the time. Neither saw the one who ran but said he had blue jeans, my jeans where a faded gray, almost white, and i told them that, which again was odd. The cop who saw the one who ran from them didn't even take a second look at me, the second he stepped out of his car he knew it wasnt me. By that time there was 4 or 5 cops. I guess they really wanted to catch the guy haha
I once had a cop come over and ask me if the bike I was on was mine. As if a bike theif is just gonna admit to robbery, to an officer in uniform! I could have hopped on the bike and easily got away from him but I dismounted and waited until he approached me to ask the question. I was gobsmacked at how he ended up in that uniform. I sarcastically told him that was some "stellar detective work." He just waved me off.
literally, i parked in a desolate parking area where cops usually park and then they started saying people do drugs in the area and all that, asking me accusatory questions and asked to search my car, i let them cause i have nothing to hide and when the main questioning cop knew they weren’t gonna find shi he was like “be honest what were you doing here?” literally just chilling and i started laughing at him and his searching officer cause they’re total bums
The police doesn't need to care about doing a good job because their income is obtained though coercion, this is not like a private security company that will bankrupt for things, in any case the worst that will happen is that they will be sued and the taxpayers will have to pay the bill (which also doesn't affect them in any way).
They don't understand why people are afraid of the cops, and then they go ahead prove why you absolutely should be afraid of the cops, even if you're 100% innocent.
They have guns legally because their supposed to protect and serve so I would be fearful since history dictates unlawful authority is consistently occurring on black homeowners, Latino homeowners without true need for just cause. The Marijuana issue warranted removing of the illegal substance rather than assuming someone is involved with the existence. Police the police. Mr. Tartt said they were not involved with the Marijuana and that's what you should believe. These people were decent and kind regardless.
I came here to say this also ... That woman could sense the blood fever in the officers attitude. The police and law think they aren't hurting people ... i don't know anymore who they are helping.
@@crabbyalthegrump641 don’t forget that there’s both good and bad in every profession. Analyze every situation case by case. There is a corruption problem in law enforcement, and it needs to be addressed, but writing off the whole system as corrupt defeats the purpose of calling out the bad in the first place. Seeing dead leaves on a plant doesn’t mean the whole plant is dead, just gotta do the work to trim the ones that are. And you’ll keep seeing dead leaves, the work is never done, you just have to do the best you can to maintain it if you want to see it look the best it can. These officers are dead leaves, but I’ve personally met good officers who go out of their way to help those in need, no matter their race. And despite what some may say, they do exist and they deserve commemoration. Just like how the bad ones deserve to be held accountable for their crimes and punished accordingly.
The lady was being so articulate and careful, trying to express to the officers how it feels to her and her husband. Why he was so triggered by "the season we are living in" makes no sense. The cop was unnecessarily aggressive and willfully ignorant re what she was saying, demonstrating perfectly the season we are living in. They seem like lovely people, it's so upsetting to see them disrespected so outrageously.
No it’s disrespectful that everytime a cop has an interaction with a black person they make it seem Like they are going to die because of the media propaganda. More white people die from being murdered by the cops yet we hear about one or two murders a year out 400million people and they make it seem like the cops are hunting them. Fk outa here, The gentlemen handled it professionally but there is no need to make it seem like every cop is a racist killer
When a citizen allegedly break the law, they are arrested. When an Officer breaks the law, they also should be ARRESTED! They're citizens (PEOPLE) TOO. ✊🏽
I agree in fact I would say officer punishment should be more harsh because they are paid to know better and they are given power over people and if they abuse it the crime is greater.
what law did these officers break? as others have stated, officers are charged with criminal counts. countless examples in recent news that show you that
"but answer it wrong and... You're still under arrest." Basically should have gone inside as soon as they saw the cops approach. There's no way you can win, only hide.
On top of that, he was acting angry about the question and kept trying to bring it up again. Sounds like he was either offended that she suggests that there is a culture of fear among black people who are disproportionately affected by police violence and tyranny, or he was about to suggest that she's scared because she has something to hide and claim justification for some sort of illegal search and seizure based on that. He was trying to bait her into engaging with him in a no-win conversation when he KNEW what she meant.
He unlawfully arrested the man falsely claiming he was hindering his investigation then forced an arrest and acts violent while on another man and womans property. Shame on these police officers
Humans will be humans and there are always dicks out there, what we need is a better way to weed these fool's out before hiring and for the police force to not defend them once they are found out.
This is sickening! The way this jerk dismisses the fear this woman feels (clearly she’s valid in her feelings) and starts to talk down to her like a condescending jerk makes me so angry. Is there no extent these power hungry asshats won’t go when their precious little egos get bruised? Mr. Tart acted like a gentleman long after many of us would’ve lost it, especially after the cop just walked right in his home! Kudos to you Mr. Tart.
Citizen: I have fear of men with guns and badges walking up to me. Cop: What's there to fear? That's ridiculous. Cop: proceeds to push one man and arrest another without cause. 🤦♀️
It’s scary how reasonable and soft spoken everyone was being. Nobody was accusing the cops of anything even when they started gaslighting the lady for being scared. This is terrifying.
Courts give cops too much power. Prosecutors mostly are responsible for not prosecuting them. They need to send a message to all cops, you will be arrested and prosecuted! This should be national!
Yeah, try asking the officer what color panties his daughter wears, then watch him lose it "over a question". As if you can't intimidate and influence with a question...he's a punk, deserves to be treated like one.
I saw this one a few weeks ago. It infuriated me. How did they know EXACTLY where the plant was? Not only that, Tartt gave his name!! That and preventing the resident to stand on his porch and record. Just wow
Because they believe they have the right to dictate black Americans on what we can an cannot do. I would not have went in the house on my own property they would have had to arrest me and then I guess I would have to be getting paid out of taxpayers money for their racism
Technically, they weren’t trying to film police in public. They were on their own private property. I love how he kept his cool, and was willing to comply. Everyone on that patio had far more patience than the officers deserved in this case.
@Step In Fetch It The fact that this family didn't appreciate being accused for some random plants not on their property transformed in your head to mean they respect local drug dealers?
She isn't afraid because he asked her a simple question. She is afraid because they are accusing them of a CRIME. A CRIME. Not a question. An accusation.
They were clearly bored. He gave his name immediately when asked. With his name, they could’ve easily gotten the date of birth and been on their way. He asked Tartt to put his hands behind his back, but when he did so, the officer oddly didn’t cuff him. The officer tried escalating the situation hoping Tartt would give them something to charge him with, but failed. Mr. Tartt I hope you win big 🤟🏾
Exactly, he gave his name the first time they asked him. This entire situation obviously had nothing to do with collecting his name/info. He already gave it. The lady pissed off law enforcement with her comments, so they clearly took it out on this man (since they couldn't do anything to the lady). I hope he wins millions.
They didnt arrest him there because he was in the curtelage of his house. Performing a warrantless arrest automatically makes the arrest ilegal (except during extreme circumstances) so they instead made him go to the driveway in order to do so. Which rules out ignorance from the officers. They wanted to arrest him and charge him just because. The FTA in court from the officer further proves it. He didnt need to ask him anything after he said his name. If he owns that property they can connect the dots and investigate to get the rest of the information. They didnt.
I would like to see issues like this expediently brought before a court of law, without dismissal by a magistrate who doesn't want to be burdened with intricacies of the case. The Constitutional statues need to be addressed immediately not shoved off so that to victim needs to appeal with extenuating court cost as a victim. The victim gets to pay everyone for being victimized? No..he should be awarded his damages for being victimized.
Even if you gave them your name, they still need your date of birth, it is likely more than a few people with that same name. My name is very common with about 50+ in my city
they ask for your date of birth as a consent to your cqv trust so they can rape that and also make a bond out of your signature for the charge. Its all electrical circuitry to parasite the energy of people via maritime system of piracy.
My wife and I are invited by her family in the U.S.A to come stay with them for a few weeks. Videos like this almost make me worry to even set foot in your country! Bit exaggerated of course, but this is ridiculous.
@@Jane-Doe.1126 Whaha! But what I also notice in some of these videos is that some people right away have a bad attitude towards cops. When a cops comes, and says : "Hello sir!", it's already in a grumpy way: "Do I need to answer any of your questions? Does the police there really have such a bad reputation? In my country they usually are seen as much too soft, but most people (of decent social stature at least) still have respect for them.
“Take me to jail… you right I’m hindering you at doing your job” 🤣this dude is the coolest man on the planet..! And then the officers didn’t show up to court🤦🏽♀️ I’m wondering what type of nothingness hindered them from showing up! 🤣 I pray Mr.Tartt wins this lawsuit 🙏🏾
I'd wonder who did a warrantless search on my house while I was in custody? I don't believe in coincidence. They for whatever excuse, needed to arrest him.
What gets me is, once he called his bluff the cop just then decided "well before I arrest you I'm gonna find out your name first"...................like you couldn't have just done that in the first place, not to mention he already gave him his name
Ms. Tartt mentions "the season that we're living in" to the officer and he proceeds to illustrate EXACTLY what she's talking about. Shame on these unprofessional officers.
Jason Tartt is an Army Veteran. He's one of the central figures involved in teaching people how to farm and become more self sufficient in the Berwind, McDowell County area. It took me about 5 minutes research to find the information on this amazing man, whose helping to improve his community. I'm generally a supporter of our Police but this incident was absolutely uncalled for! He's owed an apology and restitution. I salute you for your service and the continued work that you are doing for the community. The country would be in much better shape if we had this guy as a role model for our kids today. Thank you Sir. For those interested type in any one of the sentences below in you tube and you can see Jason's work. Jason tartt explains rabbits and poultry production or Veterans bringing military work ethic to McDowell County
An EX army veteran ?? So he quit being a veteran somehow?? That's disrespectful. The man served his country and should be recognized as such. He is a United States Army Veteran.
That's definitely what triggered him into being so hostile. This pattern plays out again and again - civilians who have obviously committed no crime but are nonetheless in the crosshair of belligerent cops, the moment the police feel like someone isn't kissing their ass they begin abusing their power and behave in a juvenile, retaliatory manner.
They will get money, that they deserve, from a lawsuit that doesn't come from the cop's funds in any way. Qualified immunity makes the taxpayers responsible for the cops misdeeds.
Racist cop as beautiful as these southern states are I'll stick to the big city life as they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks these cops were born in bigotry and I'm white
You know the officers have no idea what they are doing when the "suspect" complied to put his hands behind his back, and the officer is suddenly confused on what to do next...
You're expecting humanity and class from police? Smh good luck with that, any semblance or class from them is not sincere and only performative. When it counts, they're terrorists.
She gave them way more respect than they deserved and was extremely nice to them even though they were absolute pigs to her. They damn well knew what she meant.
@@christopherlocke9616 if you think thats rude u must think people aren’t allowed to speak up for themselves because I’ve seen rude and that’s not it💀stop d riding cops Christopher
This is the truth. It takes three years to become a cop in Sweden or Norway, as just two examples of superb training requirements. I wish we had such requirements here in the US. Maybe having to get a bachelor's degree in police work before becoming a cop would eliminate some of these morons.
@John Neiberger Anything would be better than the clown school training they are getting right now. This is sad and embarrassing for all the great LEO's out there. God help us.
Forcing the man into the house to keep from being recorded or having "witnesses" should be grounds for immediate termination. It shows the intent to HIDE his conduct and that is proof of guilt. Officers often use the "if you haven't done anything wrong then why are you being elusive?"
I also wonder if that can be false imprisonment and kidnapping. He forces the man into the house, but it's unclear when he can leave it. Even if it was clear, he was pushed into a location where he didn't want to go.
Apparently, the only safe thing to do when you see cops near your house is to move quickly inside and refuse to answer the door when they knock, unless they say they have a warrant. Beyond that, there's no value to be gained from participating in dialogue with the police because they can lie to you or, at least, be uninformed as to their rights as officers.
That's how I am. When I see cops running red lights and speeding on roadways, I perfer that as it means they get further away from him. We already know they think they are above the law, so break it so you can separate the distance between us.
@Step In Fetch It Wow, that's some openly racist and deliberately ignorant bile you just vomited up in front of god and everyone. How embarrassed you should be, but probably won't be.
One of the most disturbing aspects of this encounter was the way that the officer mocked the woman for saying that she feared interactions with unknown people and simply asked for the officers name for her peace of mind. This police department's motto must be "To gaslight and intimidate" instead of server and protect.
Based on this interaction alone, at least the one arresting officer (and I would argue both) should be fired and prosecuted not only for Criminal Behavior but also for ignorance of the law, and the completely unlawful threats [under duress] against innocent people who pay their salary.
Bluntly schooled idiots, that have no compasssion because it is breed/indoctrinated into these types, group think activist blindly believing in a cause they do not have knowledge of is nearly as bad. kind regards alls
Oh that pissed me off. Making fun of her for being scared. Look what they did, why wouldn't people be scared? Not to mention they shoot people at the drop of the hat, and he has the audacity to mock her. They need to be fired. They have no clue about the laws they are supposed to enforce, and they are rude AF and intimidating
the way the officer reacted to that extremely kind lady was telling. she perfect articulated why she wanted his name and how it would make her feel safe but he wanted to play stupid and act like there was no implications to the situation he created. Then he kept inquiring about it, trying to instigate something until Jason cut it to the point. I like Jason and that woman, they seem like some cool ass people and also very intelligent. Edit: and he keeps instigating! "to act scared from a question is ridiculous" like stfuu you know why this situation would make her uncomfortable.
I am shocked and appalled at the behavior of these officers!!! They should be fired!!! They obviously abused their authority and I hope the gentleman wins his lawsuit!!!
@@MrTee-de7to black isn’t a nationality nor race nor is African American sir it’s a racist derogatory term and a insult that’s given by government through paper genocide and propaganda.
Exactly 💯... Take a look at every case before 2010 ... ... Anglo-Saxon's European COLONIZER'S are Racist... They should be deported...those I mean. Who support White Supremacists. The decent White people can stay. This creepy POS 😡 is a prick.
The thing that always baffled me with these types of arrests is that the police arrived for a certain purpose and end up arresting somebody irrelevant for a completely different "crime". You can't be so incompetent.
Yeah, it's always something super minor, like the cop failing to see a temporary license plate or missing mud flaps on a commercial truck, but suddenly it's all guns out and "PUT YOUR HANDS UP GET OUT OF THE CAR GET DOWN ON THE GROUND AND WALK TOWARDS US!" If in that flurry of conflicting commands you get one of those wrong, BAM BAM BAM oh this corpse was resisting arrest.
The thing is it's not really incompetence. It's what we see over and over again: control freaks who became cops for all the wrong reasons. Some cops clearly look for excuses to exert control/power over people for no good reason, and they can't _stand_ when someone challenges the lawfulness of their demands. It's why we need a drastic change in the recruiting and training of LEOs in the US. In many jurisdictions, the current approach is attracting the wrong people.
Every time I get stopped by cops (happens a lot for some reason), I comply with providing my ID but I never let them search me and I always tell them that if they suspect me of anything, they can arrest me and take me to the station for further investigation, and after the "investigation" is over and they figure out that I have nothing to hide, I will sue them. So far, no one actually arrested me, most of the time they simply give me my ID back and tell me I'm free to go, but sometimes they don't like how their ego just got crushed by a civilian knowing the law better than them and ad in some snarky comments. Most threating comment I got was "We will remember you". Told them they can follow me on Instagram so they can't forget how I look... Most cops are egoistical assholes.
Arrested by rude,armed, bullies for no crime. THIS IS SCARY. Kudos to the victims. I am horrified you had to go through this and I do hope you win this law suit. This evil needs to stop. Government does not own us
All that and then he didn’t even show up to court!? Why arrest him in the first place then!? Sounds like another case of a delicate little ego being hurt.
It's called "the ride". Because of qualified immunity these brazen rights violators can screw with citizens all they want, waste their time and resources and nor be held responsible for this bullshit they do to people. These two useless pukes really need to be done.
I don't even understand how that is acceptable? The officers of the law should be the role model shouldn't they? For an officer of the LAW to not show up in court is just a mockery of system. If the officer does not show up in court without a reasonable reason he should be immediately fired and also investigated.
@@magibubu I remember a cop not showing up in a case of moving violations against me, because it was a year later, and the cop figured he wouldn't be able to swear that I was me.
And some don't think we live in a police state. When they can just arrest you on your own property then you have to fight them in court to get your rights back that they violated? That is messed up.
@@cdreid9999 According to the law, yes. But that doesn't mean anything if the police don't follow the law, or if the courts don't enforce it. In that case, the law is as effective as a storybook.
I just want to know why the police are allowed to just step all over our rights. Even if a person doesn’t understand their rights, shouldn’t the police have to respect and honor them? Like if we don’t lawfully have to give the police our information, why do these jerks continuously ask for it and act like the law demands that we do? It’s so damn ridiculous. The police are supposed to uphold the law but they break it more than anyone.
@Eventdash01 Yes I have beef against thin skinned violent fascists looking to suppress harmless activities that aren't subservient to their 'authority'. Cops who don't know the law or how it's supposed to work should scare you, because they can take your life from you in a blink with no way out if there's not footage (and cops love having cam issues just as the fuckery starts).
Gotta give it to Mr. Tart for his knowledge and understanding of what should be done in a situation like this. He applied what he knew to the best of his ability, the cops were on an ego trip and as a result he just said "You know what, go ahead, arrest me" because he knew it wouldn't hold up, he knew he'd be able to file a lawsuit against them and have those officers removed from their positions. Smart man right there. Hats off to you sir.
The cops are ALWAYS on an ego trip when it comes to dealing with black people ... I can only wonder how much longer this shit will go on until people have had enough.
Exactly what I would do. No use in being physical & violent. Let them arrest you, then sue them for the wrong they've done. I'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
@@sheephearder8643 charges should be dropped along with the officer having a bench warrant issues for him. Not issuing a bench warrant when a officer refuses to show up when order to shows that cops have entitlements and aren't held accountable. Let's say you were a victim of theft, you called the police, found out who did it and pressed charges. The courts ordered you to show up to testify. If you don't show up you get a bench warrant for failure to show up in court. Now idk if the charges on the person who stole your stuff gets their changes dropped but fact is the judge would still issue the warrant for you because you didn't show up when you where by law supposed to. Should be no different for a cop. Just because the person is a cop doesn't mean he shouldn't have a warrant for failure to show up to cort when ordered to.
Any monetary settlements from bad policing should come from police pension funds, not public coffers. This would encourage police to purge their ranks of bad cops.
They are trained during their 5 months at the academy and then at the department they are assigned to that everyone is a criminal that have not yet been charged. Meaning they can charge anyone with a crime or violation, they just need to talk to you.
I know, these nice people treated so badly by one idiot. The other one going along with it. He was just standing there talking nicely and this happened?!?
In his mind he did apprehend a criminal. he had convinced himself from the start that it must be those people growing the weed and nothing was going to stop him from getting the bad guy. Police have done this many times before, they predetermine someone to be guilty and then they twist everything else to fit with their belief.
The bad dad cop I was raised by spewed a few sayings I can never forget: "Everyone is a criminal. We just haven't caught you yet. That's my job". He only existed to terrorize, lie and put fear into we the peons. And if you weren't white, he gave "attitude adjustments" on the way to jail.
Lady says she's concerned about "these times" Police pretend to not know what she's talking about. Then proceed to do exactly the kind of harassment and kidnapping that police are constantly doing in these times....
Exactly…this is what BLM doesn’t promote: Be calm, be overly respectful (to highlight their disrespect), comply, and get your bag 💰 in court instead of leaving in one
@@BandoLando false? No it isn't false. Racist blm doesn't believe in being calm. They believe in being rude and violent especially when they are being arrested for a crime they actually committed. Racist blm doesn't know how to act properly.
That look he gives that officer on his porch right before he just turns away and says “Take me to jail. You’re right. I’m hindering you from doing your job” killed me. He must’ve been thinking “Wow this cop really is that stupid”. 😂
Hello Mr. Tartt, this interaction is completely mindboggling. These 2 so-called law enforcers don't have a clue to what the law is. Best of luck with your upcoming litigation. God bless you sir and your family.
*I think it should be emphasized that this gentleman is retired military, not only that but a retired military police officer !! It's disgusting and vile that these little boys can get a badge and power over ANYONE they want*
Just because the police ask for your for your info. DOSE NOT I say again DOSE NOT mean you have to give it to them. This is a basic constitution right. You have the right to remain silent. As far as being on there property sure they were there investigating but had no right to do anything else other than ask questions. Again you never ever should talk to police it's a good way to talk yourself into an arrest. Anything you say CAN and WILL BE USEF AGAINST YOU.
It shouldn't matter. They arrested him for something found on someone else's property. It should NOT be emphasized. It should be emphasized that he was arrested for suspicion of someone else growing weed on someone else's property. Or for being black while on a porch.
@@Extortionism it's a rural area, so probably another person. But that reminds me of when I lived in a small town and a pot plant got almost 7 feet tall before the post office noticed it in front of their building.
Anyone see the irony, the cop refuses to give his name in the performance of his duties to the lady at the beginning and then demands ID from the gentleman and says “what’s the big deal just give me your information”…I highly doubt that any court is going to find that owning s property adjacent to a property that has marijuana constitutes reasonable suspicion in itself. If the officers had seen him in that property or received a complaint by a witness that it was him growing in that property in addition to him owning the adjacent properties that would be a different story.
How would it matter if someone saw him growing on the adjacent property? Cop would need probably cause, and even if that gave probable cause, that's sufficient for arrest, which would then require him to identify. It has no bearing on whether he is required to give his name without arrest.
It would matter because they could argue the investigation was legitimate after that. That's why the make false statements and accusations. It's to cover their own ass.
As an employee of the city and supposedly FULLY aware of the law, the judge should toss that cop in the clink for contempt of court. He chooses to use the court as a validation of his "aw tho ruh tay" but doesn't have the decency as a fellow employee of the so called judicial system to assist the judge in making the charges stick. That tells me his boss made him stay out of the court. We mere citizens could really use a citizens arrest police force. Arrest them and put them in jail with Bubba.
I've been screaming that for years.. the fact that LEO aren't held to the same standards and requirements that citizens are expected to adhere to, is what gives a lot of them the mindset that they're above US citizens, as well as the laws that are established by elected government officials..
Why would a policeman ask something that no one needs to answer to them and then not to provide his identification, when he's legally required to do so?
