FAILURE TO PURSUE | Trooper demoted, reassigned for not investigating public official's DUI case 

Jody Barr is a real journalist. We must protect him at all costs. Everyone like and subscribe to keep this channel going strong.

Exposing more corruption. Way to go Jody. You are the best. 👍🗽👍

There has always been two different justice systems. All of them and the rest of us.

Demoted? He should have been fired!!

This public offender will get a promotion into the DA's office now that they know he is dirty enough to fit right in.

Great story Jody!!! We cannot trust these people at all.

Jody Barr is no joke and pulls no punches. Finally, someone who takes journalism seriously.

I live in a small town and this kind of behavior happens here ALL the time!!!

Cutter LIED TO POLICE.... He said he wasn't driving. He said JR was driving, so where is JR? Why didn't he get arrested for OBSTRUCTION? We The People WOULD NOT get the same consideration...

There are Judges orders all across this lovely nation that won't allow cameras into the courtroom. I don't know what it is with these judges, but I have a feeling it's because they know they're up to no good. They've been sitting on that judge's chamber for so long, the last thing you need is cameras in their calling out their BS

Can't say this enough.. Jody, THANK YOU for trying to keep the government transparent.

Two levels of prosecution.... who doesn't know this by now?

Thank you Jodi!! You asked the appropriate questions regarding this case. I couldn't think of any additional questions you could have asked regardless of the fact the Public Officials wouldn't respond. It is really a shame that the people we elect, etc to be 'Servants' of the People don't want to be held accountable for their actions as our Public Servants and lie, cheat & take anything to enrich themselves whenever possible. I hope you and the other Investigative Reporters keep fighting the good fight as i don't want to see what would happen if the public takes steps to STOP their sneaky ways AGAIN.... Thank You Jodi and everyone on your team for all you guys are doing. I look forward to your next update on this and your other investigations

This makes me question how effective of a public defender that man was. I mean think about it. The fact that these cops were so unwilling to investigate makes me think- if a public defender is supposed to DEFEND arrestees from the charges from these very cops- why do they feel so obligated to give him preferential treatment? So it’s obvious that the public defender’s office doesnt actually have the public’s interests in mind.

COURT PROCEEDINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!!

The allegations that the Sheriff's department is out to get him is beyond absurd. If that were true they simply would have jumped at the chance to nail him rather than turning it over to the State Patrol. The Sheriff's department actually seems to have done the opposite of trying to nail him when they turned over the investigation to the SP.

Jody you're a better man than I... i would lose my cool confronting these people. As always you're work is top notch👍

" Rules for thee but not for me "

Trooper Prince : Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Trooper Prince was caught in the crosshairs.

"Treated him like i would anyone else" yaaaaaa, ok Why couldn't the sheriff department do the dui? Why pass it off to the trooper?

This is not an isolated incident. This happens ALL the TIME! EDIT: The trooper just didn't want to "do" his job. His allegation only proves it. Of course Clarendon County doesn't want to handle the investigation to possibly avoid "conflict of interest". This guy should be REMOVED from the FORCE. Do your JOB. He knew who King was. He's too busy trying to CHOB but not focused on protecting the community he swore to serve.

Great reporting 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Jody good. Corruption bad. Accountability still mia

the " just us " system alive and well

Another great report. Keep up the good work.

disgraceful......

Reassigned? He should’ve been fired and lost his certification to be a law enforcement officer. This would send a message.

Great reporting

There needs to be a Jody Barr in EVERY TOWN in AMERICA

I think Jody Barr need to go to Washington and ask some questions

Sad part is, if he had gone after the guy, he would also have been demoted and reassigned. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

The Sheriff’s Department is as much to blame they were first on site and had the power to charge the man for DUI if they felt he should be tested to determine his state ,he had said though that he wasn’t driving then he pleads guilty to driving charges?

I love Jody’s reporting with his investigations. Finally found a news channel that actually does real reporting. Thank you so much. It just stinks that I have to watch a SC news Channel when I live here in OH

Jody you’re one of the best reporters out there today. I love your style!

You've got to be drunk to crash a golf cart! How on earth do you manage that? Small town America is seriously weird.

Amazing journalism 👏!

And some wonder why Americans are losing faith and trust with cops and the system for the privileged. The fact that the Internal Affairs, police department, and the Bar wherever this drunk driver holds a license to practice law did absolutely nothing is unacceptable and disgusting!

At what point is the Public going to realize that Government/Law Enforcement does NOT work for us ? And I counted MORE THAN ONE bad officer in this video...but only one is being punished ?

You may be the GOAT of investigative journalism. I love your videos. Thank you.

I really don’t know exactly why we are paying the District Attorney.

Another great report Sir. If there were more reporters like you in this country to monitor unrighteous law enforcers I might regain my trust in public officials. Unfortunately, I see more corruption than honor.

Lol you are a thorn in the Sherriffs side. Kudos! We need more like you!! Keep ‘em in line! Stay safe dear man! You are a true journalist! ❤

No cameras to imply LEO guilt is paramount

jody gets it done.......

Jody is a national treasure

Thanks for this excellent journalism.

"I'm trying my man, I'm trying. Just shut up!" That's a great officer right there.

This used to go on all the time when I was a teenager,, if you got stopped by someone that knew you it was a possibility they would call someone to come get you.. So glad I’m past those days..

Great reporting!

Rules for thee and not for me

Just goes to show what side the public defender and cops are on. They are on the same team !

Too bad you’re not teaching journalism, mr Barr. Thank you for being you.

You amaze me with your investigations! No stone is left unturned, thank you for what you do. 👍👏👏👏

Handled perfectly........for one of their own. And law enforcement and the government wonder why the public has so much disdain for them. Was Datrick Prince wearing a corporal patch that reflects he's a field training officer?

All courts needs camera's. It stops Corruption.

Establish dominance before any civil behavior

Absolutely ZERO accountability on the part of this public defender. No justice.

This office giving all the reasons why he couldn't investigate DUI.. That's funny when we see people having their genitas tased for supposedly not using blinkers

Now you know why they can turn the camera and microphone off… at their discretion.

I live in NJ and wish we had more good reporters like you. I'd even say we need more in the country like you!!!

great journalism jody.

Jody, you are an exceptional journalist and reporter, but I can’t give you all the credit because you’re giving plenty of good stuff to report on. They never stop supplying you with good content.

Integrity among government employees is almost nonexistent

"I couldn't do field sobriety on him" "why would you want to? did you have probable cause to believe he was intoxicated? if so, why not perform a breathalyzer or blood test?" cop is an idiot for even mentioning the inability to do field sobriety after claiming he had no reason to believe he was intoxicated

"I got to go tie off a few drinks before I go coach some kids because we're trying to win the state championship". Yeah he definitely has the government in his back pocket and the local town. Who wants to lose their coach when they're on the verge of winning a state championship for the local football team.

Did this officer ask for ID BEFORE checking for injuries? UNBELIEVABLE. This shows that they trained to violate first, help or assist third, fourth or tenth, twentieth etc.

The Justus system at work.

It’s sad how much body cameras capture. How are police going to continue to cover anything up. It’s just sad. ❤❤❤

Im a retired State Trooper in North Carolina. If i stopped you i dont care who you are, who you know. You are going to jail. I would not have lost my job over any politician. This is pathetic. He needs to be fired.

All the Officer's present should have been charged with Dereliction of Duty! Not just the trooper !

And apparently everyone is treated equal and no one is above the law. More good work from Jodie Barr.

So since the judge went back on allowing the camera in the courtroom because I'm guessing the judge is just as corrupt and didn't her actions on video.

@10:15 mark 'that is definitely not it' is the Corrupt Corporal's comment after tolsnit looks like he gave a DA preferential treatment. Well then Corrupt Corporal, all that's left is gross incompetence!!!

Two different tiers of Justice!

I am an honorably-retired police officer with a successful law enforcement career spanning 30 years. In addition to the regular DUI training that all cops get, I also have advanced ARIDE DUI training. I have done more successful DUI cases than any patrol officer I know. And as an FTO (Field Training Officer) I have trained new officers to help them to develop their DUI skills. It may not be apparent to lay people, what exactly is going on in this incident, but I'll tell you. That trooper is a classic example of a "diversity hire". I'm sure there were many red flags along the way during the hiring process, during his oral board interview, the background investigation, and probably the psych and the polygraph. But it was all overlooked, so that the department could virtue-signal by hiring another minority, even though he wasn't suitable for The Job. He wasn't trying to "do a favor" for the offender, he was just LAZY. DUI cases are a lot of work, and he gets paid the same whether he does one or not. He complained multiple times about the primary officer wanting him to take the DUI case, but the county officer's concerns about a conflict of interest, were legitimate. The trooper failed to do his sworn duty, he lied in his reports (which is a crime), and he lied to the Internal Affairs investigators. And lying is the kiss of death in law enforcement- he will NEVER be able to testify on the stand again, because the first thing the defense attorney will bring up, is the fact that the trooper is a documented liar, and thus can't be trusted. He's now worthless as a cop, and is just taking up space. He should be fired and prosecuted criminally, but diversity hires always scream "racism" when anyone tries to hold them accountable for doing wrong.

I wrecked during a DUI with no insurance and served 30 days in jail and had my license suspended for 6 months and served probation for the same time period. I was never offered to buy insurance and have that charge dropped... probably because I was sitting in jail 🤷. My point is there are very clearly two justice systems depending on who you are...idc what anyone says, it's just the truth. Now also to be fair I think the justice system designed for these guys do a lot better of curbing bad behavior. When you lock humans in a cage and take away their ability to function or support themselves then you shouldn't be surprised to see them turn to bad behaviors or a life of crime. That public defender got off easy in everyone's eyes but the truth is he's extremely embarrassed and likely won't let that ever happen again. If more people were treated how he was there would be far less crime. People think strict jail sentences and a harsh judicial reduces crime rates but it does quite the opposite. It's just like with kids. The ones acting out and misbehaving the most are the ones with either the most strict parents or the most absent parents. In other words a judicial system is necessary but when you make it harsh you ignorantly invite more crime whether that's your intention or not.

higher standards for all public officials. how many others has this troooper let go by. got his 20 he will retire full benfits. misconduct in office, closed door bench? help from everyone

Fire this Public Defender, he's an embarrassment to the county and to the lawyer profession, plus strip him of his law license his behavior while drunk is problematic.........

I see waaay to many stories like this out of South Carolina. Seems like every department is corrupt.

Keep fighting the good fight Jody. 💪

That’s illegal they are not federal court can’t keep the cameras out

he was probably scared that he'd have his career destroyed?

That's looking like corruption

You can tell his a lawyer. Drunkenly flipping a golf cart is a MISHAP.

"Laws for thee, not for me."

Okay, this is about the third report that I've watched from Jody Barr and I'm concerned about his safety because people in power don't like being exposed. Please please please please please be careful and keep doing what you're doing. When doing the right thing at the moment while on the scene becomes an "Oh, crap!" moment leading to cover up and soft pedaling justice then you've gotta big wide problem. They're gonna lone scapegoat one trooper alone to take the fall for more goats that need to be held to account.

We got Queen City News giving a story about King Cutter being treated like a Princess by Corporal Prince…and, it’s all a Royal hot mess.

Interesting how much royalty is involved in this case. Kings and princes! Amazing.

Obviously the Queen City has a different definition for Transparency.

"I prefer to see them make the DUI arrest. They always call us for DUI". Basically saying they have us do our job and they should do it so I didn't do mine in retaliation.

imagine if all news media done investigations in to all politicians

Corruption has NO-LIMITS for these extremely dirty civil-servants.

So you don't get fired for not doing your job or selective enforcement? Every DUI lawyer who had a case from this trooper needs to file a lawsuit for discrimination.

Great job Jody 🙏 #AbolishQualifiedImmunity

they all phucked up!

Why the heck does jody only have 51 thousand subscribers. He is the best journalist out there... i am talking in all states of AMERICA..

That trooper wishes he never got that damn call.

Scumbags and hypocrite comes to mind. It’s great to see journalist with integrity, be a professional journalist or just a citizen with a camera

They are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Prince didn't investigate King in Queen City. It was a royal mistake!😂But seriously, I love your reporting skills. You're a tactful pitfall. Great job.
