Dear Mr. Civil Rights Lawyer. I see by the dashcam footage, there is NO WAY he was traveling at 80 MPH. Why? To wit, MANY years ago, as a “kid” around 20 years old, the 55 MPH speed limit was incredibly boring. So, there are about 115 dashes to the mile on Federal Highways. I still have, in my brain, the EXACT timing for 55 MPH. The lines pass at just under one second each. Obviously, less time for faster speeds. There is no way this boy was anything over 70. Depending on the interstate, most are 65 to 70 for cars. I invite anyone out there to check the speed by using the dashed lines between the lanes. I have traveled all of the Lower 48, and all the highway markings are consistent. The officer was lying about the speed, regardless of any other devices. The camera would likely not be off save for a few milliseconds, which would be negligible. All timing these days is digital.
The DA that REFUSES to charge these criminals with badges is pro-crime scum. The pieces of garbage in the community that got him re-certified are society’s problem.
I agree. I am not one to want more laws, but we one dealing with re-certifing officers. Any union or lawyer who gets a cop re-certiied should be resp9nsible for that cop. The union or lawyer would be responsible for damages the cop does. Court award would paid by them and not us.
You're absolutely right the 🐏🐑 all see it a state of mind which blinds them and prevents normal perception, behavior, or social interaction; seriously unfortunately we're forced to pay taxes
@@thecheese4255 The fact is a lot of Americans like and want criminal cops on the police force. They want bad cops, as long as the bad cop is nice to them. We already know the cops, DAs, judges, and politicians are corrupt scum. But the people are also a huge part of the problem. They want these thugs in positions of power. They only care if he victimizes their innocent son or daughter.
EXACTLY!!! "I didn't know it was wrong to tamper/destroy exculpitory evidence...?" END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY NOW!!! Make these terrorist thugs accountable for their crimes, just like everyone else!!! "We the people", are only scapegoats for govt thugs!!! "When you break the law, you pay; When we break the law, you pay..." WHAA???
I agree but in addition, get in their pockets with substantial fines. Paid by them personally, not taxpayer money. Qualified immunity was, is and continues to be a mistake. The decent cops out there suffer from these crooked cops actions.
The D.A. is reviewing his past cases for sure. The need to. Any convictions not based on solid, indisputable evidence, will have to be vacated. Incarcerations that hinged on his testimonies will have to be deemed bogus. At least most of them. Releases will be pending. Then that county, has to worry about more lawsuits filed, by anyone wrongfully convicted, because of this idiot.
A canine to search the vehicle? .... Cops can tell the dog to give an alert. Also, dog training *REWARDS* the dog if it alerts. This guarantees that the dog will give an alert just to please the handler.
@@simonmultiverse6349EXACTLY, they SHOULDN'T EVEN be allowed to use dogs ..... They have like a 50 percent failure rate... THAT'S not good....... Then they rip your stuff apart violate your RIGHTS n say oops sorry. A guy I use to work with LIKE a MORON gave cops permission to search.. They ripped his vehicle apart found NOTHING and then told him to put all his stuff back in the vehicle. Just left all his stuff along side the road. Pieces of shiiiiiiiit
And he won't even be charged. Won't even lose a penny out of his own pocket. Taxpayers will pay. He will mostvlikely be promoted to chief. This is what our local state and federal government wants.
Yea right , well all know by now ...they are enabled to do as they wish up to murder because they are incahoots with the so called justice system. This systematic problem has been reviewed and they whole police policy needs to be dismantled and recreated because how corrupt it is.
This highlights the need for a national citizen prosecuter; Tasked only with prosecuting dirty cops like this...They keep getting away with it, because the gov't prosecutors are corrupt; "If I did my job, the Police would resist, and start sabotaging cases???" Somethimg needs to change to force accountability!!!
The rotten cop was probably bring so much cash into the system that whoever recertified him couldn't manage without it, probably getting kick backs that he didn't want to let go of. Decertification should be for life. Rotten apples don't suddenly revert to being edible.
And to give innocent citizen a (better) chance to survive an encounter with the police, these kind of "officers" should get imprissoned for life. The very sad thing is that there are many more of these completely rotten apples in "service". Only very rarely are these uniformed criminals punished, this as practically all the criminals working for their PD's are as bad, "THE FISH ROTS FROM THE HEAD DOWN". And too few people have the courage to put in an official complaint, because they are very rightly worried for retaliation of the uniformed criminal gangmembers that are happy to kill.
will not happen I say this because many ask for things that are simply not the solution and in this system that is so dysfunctional Nothing is going to fix it.
Fabricating evidence must have felony consequences. What kind of low-grade justice system allows such criminal behavior to go unpunished.? This behavior can destroy a citizen's life, yet the system doesn't incarcerate the criminal. There should be a mandatory 10-year sentence for falsifying or destroying evidence.
Qualified Immunity - protects these officers no matter how violent or egregious their acts are. Officers don't have to pay for settlements - why would they ever change?
Yeah Qualified Immunity is the catalyst of Police corruption and violation of people's constitutional and civil rights. But the American police forces fail to realize that they have family and children too. I predict that one day the police will pick on the wrong person who doesn't care about the family and children of that police officer. Retribution is a strong alliance for the people. It's a strong motivation for the people.
Qualified Immunity is only for when a officer unknowingly does something wrong and it would be reasonable to make that mistake. this is not it. he knew what he was doing the whole time.
Oh yeah for sure this coward has done this many times. Sadly I'll bet the DA is just going to try and sweep whatever he can under the rug. That's how most of em roll. Cops,judges,DA's... "Law enforcement gang" I wasn't always so cynical but what I've witnessed lately with all of these groups has been very disturbing to say the least
There was a time when they were held at a higher standard that everyone else. Can’t understand why we can’t go back to that. Just on “conduct unbecoming” there would be so many cops no longer working as cops.
@@2olvets443 When was that exactly? Cops have always been above the law. It's just more in our face now we can actually witness what they get away with.
A cop should get double or triple the amount of jail time that a civilian would get! Because when ever they break the law they're Abusing their power!!
AND it still shows up on your record that you were arrested. Even if charges are dropped, that can have an incredibly damaging effect on the individual in countless ways.
He won't be doing much anymore. He will bald and become more and more angry til he goes and polices himself. That's my assumption for someone that begs to be allowed to have their power back. And then goes right back to immediately abusing it.
Trying to ruin the life of an innocent person while in a position of power is absolutely evil. Thank humanity for video recordings. I cant even begin to imagine how many amazing people (doctors, teachers, inventors, ect.) we missed out on because of a bruised pig's ego.
Every part of the state, every persecutor, bureaucrat and politician who went to bat for this jackbooted p.o.s. should face the same consequences as accessories after the fact.
land of the freeeeeeee and home of the brave! 'Murica, fuck yeah! Leader of the free world! U.S.A U.S.A U.S.A U.S.A Now excuse me, gotta go defend capitalism while it screws me in the butt for minimum wage. This message brought to you by everything wrong in Americaland
What’s truly disgusting is the DA not immediately filing charges for perjury, obstruction, and evidence tampering against the cop. Thank you as always John for brining us these stories and for representing people like your client.
They only get upset when citizens waste/require police funds to be spent. When someone "on their side" lies and deceives law enforcement and prosecutors in order to stroke his own ego, that's just something that happens
@@wessltov No one is above the law (in theory), DA's can be arrested and charged, in which an ADA would actually try the case I believe. In addition the Governor can remove in many case the DA. We saw that in Florida, twice now.
Why even bother asking that question? We all know why. The police unions make these murderous psychos untouchable. The entire system is complicit, top to bottom and side to side.
Qualified immunity is a license to commit atrocities. Why tyrants should be granted “qualified immunity” for bad behavior is beyond all rationale for justice.
It made perfect sense that the government SCOTUS would give the government COPS QI as a license to circumvent the constitution and the law. Why do you think it was created with such an impossible hurdle to overcome.
I have to wonder how many times a cop and his civilian buddy is having a drink and have the idea for the cop to arrest his friend and create the circumstances for a lawsuit so the two of them can get rich.
Qualified immunity doesn't apply in situations where an officer commits a willful/wanton assault or in cases where an officer purposely destroys evidence. Until you learn when qualified immunity applies, you should refrain from using the term because frankly, you sound foolish. In a nutshell, qualified immunity applies when an officer, while acting in good faith, makes a mistake. It does not apply when an officer commits a crime. They're police officers, not democrat politicians.
And prosecuted by outside prosecutors. Prosecutors have a close working relationship with their local police departments. This leads to a major conflict of interest as well as outright corruption.
@@JoeS795 you have to change public perception and opinion before laws can be passed. Just going somewhere and demanding change doesn't work. Burning buildings and turning public opinion against your cause doesn't work. Showing people through discussion that it's common sense not to have prosecutors with a conflict of interest overseeing cases involving the same police they work with daily is an important step. Showing people that police investigating police is like asking the fox to guard the henhouse is an important step.
@@brentfarvors192 - They do not like being challenged or or laughed at LOL You can watch their minds fall apart when people are laughing at them. Its great entertainment.
@@djfasslerDumb statement, I’ve met some asshole cops and some decent ones who’ve cut me breaks. If you’re judging all cops as bad then you’re the problem.
When this POS with a tin badge eventually crosses the wrong person, they or one of their family members is going to introduce him to some old school West Virginia mountain justice.
It's okay when sworn officers fabricate violations and destroy evidence but criminal when citizens do the same. Typical with Gestapo cops patrolling and corrupt DA's running the justice systems in those areas.
We the People need to find out the name of the Police Department, the City, State, & Person in charge who hired this sick, psychotic Cop & reinstated him to the Police Force! We really need to come together in an organized fashion to protest this man's reinstatement. Mark my words, he WILL REOFFEND & violate the laws he supposed to uphold & violate the Constitutional Rights of the Citizenry.
@@michaelherron6523 - I have seen and heard these POS in operation. I have radios that listen to the whole 19 corridor in the car and it is a VERY ACTIVE place... and trust me that little town is always up to shit on 19. THere was another town that did this on a major road in WV that I know of, and the state ended their jurisdiction over the land that passed over a major highway to end them using it as an ATM. Only the Sheriff and the State have jurisdiction there. THey literally stripped the town of that area so the police had no power there. Dropped their revenue bigtime. Ended the BS.
@@michaelherron6523 - You are very correct. THe whole 19 corridor between i79 and i77 in WV should be driven with MUCH CARE. I am never hassled there because I simply just poke along don't push my luck. THey are only interested in speeders and light runners because its sure fire money for them. If you are not doing anything they leave you alone unless they are bored at night.
Any prison-time is unacceptable. The only acceptable punishment is for him to keep his job and pull over a car full of gang or cartel members to smoke him. Violent criminals like this deserve only capital punishment, nothing else. 😠
The good thing is that corrupt cops are getting more and more exposure and like the jackass in FL who got 12 years, soon they all will get what's coming... prison. There are good cops but it seems where the old saying of '1 bad apple' is now '1 good apple in a barrel of bad apples'.
@@I.____.....__...__I mean, kidnapping and assault shouldn't really punishable by death man... They are dicks, but death is for people that kill, rape and the such. Just take his pension off him so he has to go work at McDonald's for his retirement money. That's punishment enough and stops the taxpayer from having to pay for his retirement donuts and whiskey.
There's no such thing as a good cop in America. The entire system and all it's agents are complicit in the rape and murder of US citizens, it has been that way for decades, so anyone choosing to join the system is a bad person and a bad cop.
the only good cop I ever saw was a lady cop who broke rank to stop her suspect from getting violently assaulted and life threatened while in cuffs by her ROIDED up SUPERIOR mad he had to do what she couldn't do. She actually went to stop the battery on the innocent suspect, that man turned around and choked her off her feet bc of it. That's the only good cop I have ever seen.
Even more accurately .. His department (or sheriff) and the department , mayor , and DA that refuse to hold him accountable .. HAVE to be investigated , and prosecuted.
There is no justice POS like this and the system that protects them ensures that there is no justice for the victims of their crimes and abuse. Only the tyrants that work within the system get protection from the Law that they should abide and be accountable to, why would they change anything and expose themselves to risk? They have no skin in the game, until they are personally liable for their wrongdoings then they will keep protecting their own and continuing to abuse their positions in society.
That anyone was willing to re-certify that PoS is indicative of just how broken the system is. Video being deleted is why my dashcam doesn't just have a password, I super glued the SD card in place so it can't be removed without leaving evidence of tampering. That cop should be in prison for evidence tampering and banned from public service for life.
It is when you are accountable to no one!!! If anything, this just shows them they can do pretty much whatever they want, and the taxpayers are responsible for their crimes..."Oh, no JoBob, not another lawsuit you don't have to pay...RofLOL"
It's also not difficult to not punch someone in the face and break their jaw for criticizing you. And the fact that this criminal cop did this and then stuck the guy in another agencies police cruiser and left the scene is an open and shut case reason to throw him in prison. He doesn't respect the law or the constitution and he has no morals. Allowing him to continue roaming the streets with authority is telling the citizens that you are ok with officers treating you anyway they see fit, the law be damned.
At least one police officer took Nathan to the hospital. Also, what is the mindset of this vicious cop putting Nathan in a patrol car of another agency and did not call EMS either. Cop needs jail time and a shrink.
I remember this. At some point I hope the courts realize that you cannot give police the general benefit of the doubt. Officers will lie and obfuscate as much as a crook.
as a black man thats been beat and framed by police, i still feel its important to note, that this is a problem for all of us, every color, religion, etc. when i say i will march for my brothers, i mean for all Americans for all people, for all humanity, were in this together and we have to fight evil united. i hate to see anyone get treated like this no matter who they are
Glad to hear it. The fact that white people get disproportionately targetted by police pistols is never touched on. Just another ploy by those in charge to rile up racial tensions and violence. Our peoples can get along just fine, and sadly most believe the lies and the emotionally charged propaganda. None of the issues ever actually get addressed. It's a shame.
Doesn't matter the color or age...they don't discriminate and give equal ass whoopings and killing to any one who pushes their buttons, rubs them the wrong way or defies them and their ego. WM and I've been violated and unassaulted numerous times with no crime!
Especially this repeat dooshberry. The exact reason I have 360 cam hidden that they can't get to and front and rear hidden bumper cam and they are controlled with the phone and the car stereo, I don't have any beef with cops, but I don't trust any of them period.
The judges that keep these tyranys from losing QI and the prosecutions who refuse to charge need to be held accountable. The whole system is working against us and its been built that way.
Court hearings should be public so the THE COMMUNITY KNOW WHO S LETTING THESE CRIMES GO ON AND ON , naming all those in the court , including judges names! If we can’t file complaints against these unlawful decision makers , let the people have ALL knowledge,is it A --secret???? Hmmm, must be dark reasons for THAT
When cops are fired, they can be rehired by a different police department. And when they get decertified, they can be re-certified. Cops in America are truly UNTOUCHABLE when it comes to being held accountable for their actions.
@@brentfarvors192 They sure do! If they really want to get you they will pack an entire pool of people that are either related to a cop or is an EMT, etc!
and since he wont wind up in prison, the goal should be financial ruin to the point of his total destruction. Gotta separate these sickos from society for their safety. Ruin him so bad he tops himself, that's the only way the public is safe from sickos like this. That is literally the only form of gaining justice after being violated by a dirty cop. Try to take their money and stuff so bad they top themselves.
@@penguinjayI think we should bring back tar and feathering for corrupt cops and corrupt judges and politicians and district attorneys..... Maybe the rest of them would look up and maybe decide to behave themselves?
@@maxxcarver5502 - And the stockade along 19 where the tourists passing through can kick them in the butt and throw rotten vegtables at their face in the stocks... and their ex-wives can come get them with the cat of 9 tails and there are drywall screws in the leather straps LOL nevermind
THE CENTRAL PROBLEM IS THE PROSECUTORS WHO REFUSE TO CHARGE THESE COPS. Indeed, they encourage and facilitate the abuses. How do we clean our house of these CRIMINAL PROSECTORS?
The problem is the voters who buy whatever lies crooked prosecutors tell them. The voters are supposed to vote out prosecutors like that. We're supposed to be what keeps them in check. I've seen prosecutors say they'd love to charge these cops but can't because they have Qualified Immunity. The dumbass voters fall for that shit. 😂 Like civil immunity somehow applies in criminal court. Crooked prosecutors come up with all sorts of crazy bullshit public excuses for why they protected dirty cops. The voters in this country are supposed to be educated and informed so they can hold exactly that type of person accountable. Unfortunately the opposite is true. To be fair to the American public prosecutors are very very good liars. Still it doesn't take much to see through their lies. Wilful and intentional ignorance by the American public is why there's so many crooked prosecutors in our system. It's also why there's so many crooked judges. It's why cops like seen in this video fear nothing. Not even getting caught destroying evidence. If you want to see what is wrong with our justice system just look at the average American. They can tell you all about decades worth of their favorite sports, decades worth of fictional movies and TV shows. Yet they can't tell you a damn thing about their local government officials. If they know anything at all they'll tell you if they are "nice" or not. Like that has anything to do with the job they do. Well as long as they smile and shake hands while they protect crooked cops and railroad innocent people in court everything is just fucking hunky doory.
I live in SC..We routinely drive to visit my mother in law in Ohio..That stretch of highway is notorious for crooked cops.Thank You John for covering this.
Shrewsberry is a menace to society and should be put in prison. DA’s office has failed this community, the people and the United States of America. I also believe the DA should also be put into prison for failure to get a known criminal off the streets.
We are always going to have corrupt cops. The real problem is the cops that know of their behavior and won't report it because they don't want the daily harassment that will follow from other officers. Nobody harasses people better than cops.
Yes there is. All of us are worse. We let them do it. If a few thousand of us surrounded police stations and demanded they surrender all weapons this nonsense would stop
There needs to be better laws in place that holds police officer accountable for making up, lies and not the taxpayers. They should have to pay for everything out of their own pocket.
This ex cop should serve 10 years for what he attempted to do to this man. Imagine had he actually been able to permanently delete those videos? He would've wrecked that guy.
Imagine how many ticket he has issued and arrests he has made over the years. How many “sworn statements” he made that were the sole basis for the convictions! The state should have to dig up every record and reimburse/vacate the judgements of every one of these cases! This is why deliberately lying on a sworn statement needs to be at minimum punished with serious prison time!
It's scary how cops can pull a random person over, make up a story about what they did, arrest them, and without ANY video evidence proving one way or the other get them convicted. Thank God he recovered his video.
Its nothing new, cops have been LIEING and FALSIFYING reports since their inception. A lot of people immediately believe what an officer says on a report is true not matter what. Im willing to bet theres STILL people who believe what this cop's report said is true even after watching the video fotage.
my question is why is an officer of the law not charged with felony tampering, when he is caught deleting evidence, why does it have to go this far, that cops are so hell bent on charging and incarcerating innocent people. why is this tolerated at all, if a cop is found arresting an innocent person, they should be charged with kidnapping, this shit needs to be taken seriously, and cops need to be held accountable, for their atrocious behaviour.
@@erin213213 Be careful what you wish for. Unless you're willing to live and play by the same rules of "excessive penalties" for a momentary lapse in judgement; discarding all that you've learned in regards to being a civil, credible human being, then I'd pull back on the reins a bit. That fellow will get what he has coming to him. Extreme punishment is never a good solution and those who promote it seemingly have no idea that it could easily bite them one day.
@@brianakers9606 the fact is, it’s simply not true Most judges, and most DAs are extremely lenient. Are you been on the most heinous of crimes that police do offer us? I am simply stating that if you choose to represent the legal arm of the law, you should be held to the absolute highest standard in care and diligence of that law, and you should also be punished to the maximum extent allowable for any time used to create an atrocity to that law. That is the way it should be there should be no middle ground whatsoever. There is no room for a lapse of judgment or an emotional twist. It is the lives of the people the citizens that is more important than that officer, or the DA could ever imagine
@@ashsrevnge Are you sure that you're correct or are you simply stating what you know to be incorrect? In my neck of the woods, law enforcement officers have been fired for speeding on a motorcycle, while off duty. They've been fired for social media posts. One officer was fired for missing a court date. I'm not sure what world you live in but it sounds psychedelic.
You cant expect a corrupt system to be moral.......and you cant fix the corruption sueing or protesting. If we ever want a change for the better, we the people must stand up and fight.
End qualified immunity , make psychoanalysis *mandatory* for all potential police officers . 🚫 narcissism 🚫 🚫 sociopathy 🚫 🚫 psychopathy 🚫 Let's keep 'em out of uniform .
It is mandatory for nearly every department in the nation. The testing literally looks for recruits with sociopathic and narcissistic traits and puts badges on them. Psychopaths are the only people they exclude. They do it because those types of personalities make the best cops in the opinion of departments. They see people who will never admit fault and will stretch the truth and outright lie in court to make cases as a good thing. A very good thing worth going through a whole lot of trouble to psychologically test for and weed out anyone who doesn't show those traits. As long as people keep calling for the very same type of testing departments already do we're going to keep getting the exact same type of cops. Cleche stereotypes of narcissists and sociopaths. With limited intelligence because that's also something they specifically look for.
You're talking about RECRUITMENT - this is what you get if your recruitment/ training/ psychological analysis process is broken, so that you end up recruiting psychopaths. Also, I fear for the safety of the wives/partners of these violent cops.
If violating a person's constitutional rights is a felony why do these cops only get fired for it? If we are our nation of laws, they should be prosecuted for the felony. The obvious answer is that their cops so they're above the law. But is this really true?
This bad cop lied to & assaulted an innocent person. The citizens of the town need to chase Officer Shrewsberry out of their community for the town's protection & safety.
