What happened after some of the most popular episodes of Fridays With Frank? We asked County Attorney Kent Volkmer for some updates. #fridayswithfrank @pinalcountyattorneykentvol2394
@@mwhe3111 oof been some time since I saw it. If he hasn’t given the result yet, probably took an L in court. I could have sworn he said he won in court but idk
Frank, I lost 3 family members at one time, including a 4 year old niece to someone driving under the influence. They had 4 prior convictions, a suspended license, and yet they were still behind the wheel. I have ZERO sympathy for people who CHOOSE to drive drunk or high. Thank you for your efforts to keep our roads safe. There's no way to judge the number of lives you have saved. Stay safe, and God Bless you!
I would like to see civil forfeiture of the motor vehicle at the third DUI. Shouldn't matter who the motor vehicle belongs to, third DUI, loss of license, and motor vehicle.
I remember the “ I’m going to put my hands on you … very simple … just like that ..!” I loved it at the time and again now. Frank is a Master of cool, calm civility and efficiency 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@jakeford7688 When you look that up, it tells nothing about the alleged offenses, or circumstances why. It gives a case # with no info, it simply says "none," but yet he is there.
you do know Deputy Sloup is on the Brady list __ Brady list, also known as a Potential Impeachable Disclosure, is a list of law enforcement officials who are considered unreliable or suspect because of some offense they have committed. The list is usually compiled by a police department or prosecutor's office and includes the names and details of officers who have had sustained incidents of untruthfulness, criminal convictions, or other issues that question their credibility.
@@roblewis570 and what does that Brady list say about him? He had one complaint in 2017 and there is no information about what the complaint was. Maybe you have more information than I could find but from what the Brady list for Pinal county shows is basically nothing.
This a great educational experience having the county attorney riding along. I appreciate law enforcement and the justice system even more watching these videos.
I can’t believe that motorcycle sticker guy took his case to court! Pretty basic, you need a sticker for your license plate that matches the car you’re driving. A sticker for the motorcycle does not match the car you’re driving.
You should always take your traffic violations to court. Best case scenario, the cop doesn't show up and your charges get dropped. If the cop shows up, you tell the judge that you are there to plead guilty and throw yourself on the mercy of the court, and the judge will usually reduce the penalty by either giving you a lower fine or keeping the points off of your license. Worst case scenario, you end up paying the fine that you were always going to have to pay.
@@Im.Okay.Youre.Fucked if you're an asshole you better believe the cop is going to show up. here in Ontario, they schedule all court dates on the days the officers are working, so they are on paid duty and being paid to attend. unless the officer leaves or gets fired your best case scenario is talk to the prosecutor and discuss a lesser charge. or just take your lumps, you did the offence, own up to it
To the County Prosecutor: Thank you. Good work ! I speak from experience. The best way to help a practicing alcoholic/drug addict is to increase their pain. The sooner we become sick & tired of being sick & tired, the sooner we change. My sobriety date: 11/7/1984. Thanks to people like Frank and You.
@@SunofYork Thousands have left California moving here to Az, some are my new neighbors. Shoot even my super Liberal Woke Son has seen the light left Cali last month returning to Az
Thank you Ken for your servant leadership ❤ What a breath of fresh air knowing someone (especially an attorney) really cares about others enough to want to make a difference and change other lives for the better. I truly appreciate all you, Frank, Sam and Mark do to help improve society on all levels 🎉👏
@@DruDuk You can't be this stupid. Have someone smarter than you show you how to do actual research, not just watch a frauditor video. Frank's case was dismissed by AZPOST seven years ago. Even still, the Arizona Brady List does not prevent any officer from testifying in court. AZ POST INTEGRITY BULLETIN Volume No. 83 Fourth Quarter 2017 Case#17-148 and Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board #17-148 - Frank J. Sloup - Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. These are public records of Frank's case, which was dismissed. The information was removed from the Brady List site after his case was dismissed
Not your usual FWF this time and it was nice to see the other side of things with the Prosecution side of the fence. One thing in particular you addressed was that so many people seem to think they know the law. I've always taught my Concealed Carry Students in the legal side of the class that if you're ever pulled over, the side of the highway is not a court room. If you think the officer is wrong, the place to argue that point is in court. Arguing on the side of the road will only serve to make matters worse both on the street and later when you do get to court. Well done Frank! And a big thanks to all of those who work with you in Pinal County.
I’m glad you include that tidbit that the proper place for the debate is the courtroom, not the side of the road. Unfortunately, confrontations can end badly at times.
True, the place to argue is court. But don't forget that Frank's job is to get a confession: he tries to get people to admit fault ("any idea why I stopped you?"), with his folksy demeanor and supposedly innocent questions about where one is going, or from, or if one has been drinking or smoking. NOBODY has to answer those questions. If you plan to contest the stop, then detailed conversation will be used against you in court BY FRANK.
This is amazing because we always like to find out the outcome of all traffic stops. You are bringing the big boss( DA) to explain to most of your cases. Thank you
I love when your methods are vindicated in court. You are above board, fair, but firm and I truly believe your county is a better place to live because of you and the deputies that you serve with. Thank you kind sir.
Love the County Attorney riding with you. Make it happen some more. These Prosecutors and Judges need to see the day to day Crime out there. Invite some Judges please. Go get them Frank 💪🏼🙏
Technical that quote is inaccurate. You don't have a right to drive on public roads. You do have a right to drive off-road on property or on private roads (driveways, racetracks, etc.) you own, even without a registration or driver's license. But those situations are rare anyway.
You concur, and more to the point, so has the US Supreme Court, e.g., Hendrick v. Maryland, 1915. States may use their powers to enact and enforce motor vehicle code to regulate drivers and vehicles.
@@iggysfriend4431 Entire Western states are as large as the UK...I lived in the High Desert of SoCal for nearly 50 years.....largest "city" was 25k....any real city was over 100 miles away by car and LA was 3+ hours away
This is awesome! Thank you Mr. Volkmer. Leaving private practice and going into public service is a great sacrifice and I appreciate it! It’s good to see this side of the law. Many officer and deputies in my area don’t show up to court or are annoyed. The case doesn’t end at arrest, sometimes you have to show up to court to get a lasting result. Thanks for being an all around great deputy Frank!
It's really funny to watch the videos of leos telling someone to get out of their vehicle (one more chance) and wrestling with a teenage kid for 20 minutes, then watching Frank, "are you going to get out? Out ya come." in like one minute! 😂 Most excellent. Gotta love Frank. 🥰
Sir, I have the highest respect for you and how you enforce traffic laws and regulations. Everyone can learn from you. You tell it like it is, whether they like it or not. You don’t tiptoe around, you lay down the law and that’s what we need in America. This new generation of fatherless people that have no respect for authority need to have an attitude adjustment! Thank you for providing exactly that!
Thank you!! We need more updates!!. As someone who primarily watches cop Cam and arrest videos I would love to see more of the results of what happens to these people. Thank you Kent and Frank.❤
This channel is very responsive to requests like this. It's the way I wish all RU-vid channels would be. It's what you get when a RU-vid channel is run by professionals.
I couldn't make that claim with a straight face. You 100% know you're doing wrong when you do it. I've even got more than one bike and they all expire in the same month. You just look at the number on the sticker and match it to the plate and it's just that easy. What people try to get away with, and pretend they didn't know, is amazing.
I researched WHY so many cases in the U.S. get dismissed, or not prosecuted, etc. I read that a lot of areas do not have room in Prison, Jail, the Courts, and the system. People have anger about this issue but don't research as much, they JUST BLAME Judges, District Attorney's, and the court. Then DA's have to keep or dismiss cases. They probably proceed with the more serious cases. Not their fault. I'd love this gentleman's take on this. Looks like his area has more resources. TY Frank and Mr. Volkmer for your expertise. ✔️
I know this is not the platform, however, I spent a decade working with adjudicated youth, and I heard/read...too often..." That is not our problem." Depending on the bureaucracy we either are letting criminals go free time and again...or...we are all "stick" without any functional "carrot" to mitigate recidivism...Other countries do way better, we can most certainly do better as our program proved in the 90s. Some locations like Pinal County should be at the cutting edge of change like they have with Frank and how they affect proper law enforcement…As always, thanks to this channel, what they do, what Frank does and sharing it with the public...
My wife got rear ended. Cops showed, the guy had all his DL, registration, insurance. What the cop didn’t know was his insurance had been canceled a week before. Our insurance paid off but It was a nightmare going after the guy for her injuries, deductibles. He lived in another state, didn’t answer the phone, avoided us. I thought our insurance would go after him with a vengeance but they basically shrugged and paid us but did zilch to go after him. No wonder our rates are so high.
@@terrencekanzig4270you can’t draw blood from a stone (ie you can’t get money from someone who has none). It often doesn’t make sense for insurance companies to pay their lawyers hundreds of dollars an hour to try to recover from someone who has no money.
@@TheTrainWatchOh, yeah I know now, it’s a cost/benefit thing for them. But many of us who have few, if any claims, tickets, accidents or even interaction with our insurance carriers other than paying our premiums would expect them to at least make some effort at going after the scofflaws. To just shrug and pass on the costs to people who play by the rules is pretty aggravating. I think what surprised me was that the guy had his insurance card that showed his policy was valid but we found out his policy had been recently canceled. His insurance card isn’t something official, with a watermark or hologram, just a slip of paper he printed at home. There’s nothing for the cop to run, like a DL to show it’s valid. The cop looks at it…good enough, and sends him in his way. If there are laws about having proof of insurance we need something that can be verified. Not something that can be photoshopped and printed at home. One of life’s lessons I guess.
Great you do follow ups. The only issue I have with some of the video's is when people have no insurance you cite them and then you allow them to drive off. I don't believe people that get stopped speeding no insurance (showing they don't care about the law) should be able to drive off, the car should be towed impounded until the driver and/or R.O. shows proof of insurance. Everybody's rates are increasing because of non insured drivers. If you've ever been hit by someone without insurance you're on the hook for the deductible etc. Great video and FWF is the best videos on RU-vid!
I was listening to a woman bragging about drinking 200 dollar glasses of wine. I said "That's nothing. I had a 20 thousand dollar glasa of scotch. And that doesn't even count the car I totaled" after legal fees,court cost, insurance premiums from my last DWI.
@@CherryZ it tool time ... Years! And one day my wife was reading the mail and said "There must be a mistake. You got a good driver discount on your insurance" everything got cheaper when I stopped drinking 😉
@@Makiyura What specifically are you referring to? I have seen inside the County Jail. I have seen how violent the prisoners are. Some people who commit crime do need to serve their entire sentence.
@@SkepticCyclist No issue at all. The job of the police officer is to gather evidence to be used against you in a court of law. The job of the police officer is to deliver to the DA a case which requires the least effort to prosecute, preferably one that contains a written or on camera confession. People think that the police are there to "Protect and Serve" but that’s not the case at all. They should put on the side of the patrol vehicles, "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." That would be accurate. "Protect and Serve" is a marketing slogan.
Excellent update to some of the outcomes of having to deal with these idiots. Thank you to DA Volkmer and Deputy Sloup. I would have liked to have heard an update or outcome on the young man going 121 MPH in the grey mustang?
Great episode, love the comment in regard to folks thinking they know the law better than anyone else. Glad to hear the ‘legal expert on plates’ was found guilty.
Love this episode. First of all, I really appreciate that District Attorney, wanting to help those that can be helped but still holding them responsible while giving them tools to have a chance to improve themselves. Then when he said separate the dangerous, well that was the key point where I really liked him. Save who you can, separate and remove the ones you can't. One more reason to love Pinal County. I've planted seeds with my wife about moving there, I'd love to find some position with the Sheriff's office. Oddly, we are currently in the Peoples Republic of Connecticut, and I laughed when he brought up the county the same size as the state here, Loved it.
I agree..they know it all apparently. And most don't have the brains to turn on a turn signal when you're turning. And that all states have their own laws. It's not necessarily the same all over the country.
@@cometasporelcielo doesn't matter, driving is still a privilege. Other people on the road with you have a right to their safety, which means you need to show you are qualified to operate a motor vehicle.
I really enjoyed watching this with the County Attorney. It sounds like the judicial system is harder on people than most. I love my Fridays with Frank. It starts my weekend. Stay safe.
@@Littlefoot. Imagine not having the ability to look up facts. Frank's case was dismissed by AZPOST seven years ago. Even still, the Arizona Brady List does not prevent any officer from testifying in court. Or you could simply look up AZ POST INTEGRITY BULLETIN Volume No. 83 Fourth Quarter 2017 Case#17-148 and Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board #17-148 - Frank J. Sloup - Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. These are public records of Frank's case, which was dismissed. Only the frauditor pages accuse him of anything else. It's a matter of public record.

I'm from Slovenia, EU and we of course have different driving laws but the basics are still the same. I've learned a lot due to this content and i'd like to commend you for keeping the reputation of U.S. police on the up. To many times LEOs get painted with the s**t color and the news mostly report about the bad apples or cases. It's a great balance to all the auditors channels etc. Keep up the good fight, Frank!
I should move to Pinal County! Why you ask? Well, Pinal County has a Sheriff that let's his Deputies do their job, Deputies that do their job and a DA that is fare and just!
The only times I was given courtesies, while being pulled over, is being honest and respectful towards the officer. It didn’t always work but, I know the officers appreciated it. ✌️
