These Cops Cost Their City $8,500,000 And GOT PROMOTED! 

Payments for these lawsuits should come out of the police retirement fund. Watch that problem resolve itself real fast.

She’s done nothing wrong yet they make her seem like she is a top criminal. It escalated so fast for no reason.

The fact that she thought he was just warning her about somebody breaking into cars says it all. She was even visibly confused when he asked for her ID because she legitimately thought he was doing them a courtesy.

Remember, if a cop knew the law, they’d be a lawyer

Imagine wanting to punish a citizen for not obeying you and then finding out you made them richer than you'll ever be

I'm always confused when law enforcement investigates themselves and finds they've done nothing wrong, yet a jury finds for the defendant.

These bullies deserve prison time for what they did to this woman.

I'd ask the officer if he'd be perfectly OK with somebody showing up at his door and wanting to search his residence; going through all his personal belongings and his internet history without a warrant or probable cause. Then when he answers no, ask him "Why? Got something to hide? Why can't you just make this easy?"

9:40 "Right now you're being arrested because you're not listening to us." That cop just summed up all of these videos perfectly.

I love how the police officer acknowledges in his own way that she's not doing anything wrong

I applaud the people for going ALL THE WAY, and NOT settling. This 'all in' mentality and their resolve to get a jury verdict to help produce STANDARDS for future lawsuits. THANK YOU LOGGARVALES !

Wow! This makes me so furious. This was undoubtedly a case of racial profiling and harassment

Officer : Mam, can I violate your rights ? Woman : ... well, no ... Officer : Ok you're under arrest ! Police superiors : Good job buddy.

Upon an IA investigation they found that the deputies did nothing wrong, what in the hell?!?! So, the department is saying the city/county paid out 8 Million dollars for no reason? That Sheriff's office is a joke. Those two deputies should be fired.

It alarms me so much why there are so many corrupt overzealous cops across the country. I am incredibly disgusted.

8.5 MILLION! Bless these folks for all the pain and heartache they surely endured to get that settlement. I hope they live well from now on.

I love it when a cop is so confident in his ignorance that when told he's wrong and will be sued, he replies "That's fine."

First thing I noticed is she literally thought the cop was just warning her to be careful because there were thieves in the area…until he asked for ID and it threw her off guard

Officer absolutely freaked out when they said they were calling 911

I live down town in a small city an work late hours . I have been stopped an harassed dozens of times using that same “suspect breaking into cars” line. It seems everywhere i go some one had just called an i fit the description. I get questioned frisked an held until the warrant check comes back. The one time i had enough an spoke back i was arrested for disorderly conduct? I hate these bullies on the way into processing another police was walking out an asked my arresting office “how many?” He replied about 13 an the officer laughed an said 22. Bragging about random bag an tags like its a game. Absolutely vile people

Muting body cams should be automatic dismissal. And I agree that lawsuit payments should come out of police funds...not taxpayers!

9:37 "You're being arrested because you're not listening to us." Straight from his mouth, contempt of cop is an arrestable offense.

I'm gonna paraphrase George Carlin and say "So you're here to catch people for breaking into cars... What, do you think they're just gonna HANG AROUND!?"

This is one of the purest sign of Racism i've ever seen from the police.

Never under estimate a cops ability to escalate literally nothing into the apocalypse

I keep checking my drivers license and I still can't find that section that tells cops if I am or about to commit a crime.

OMG! I feel so bad for these ladies. They weren't doing anything wrong!

Cannot believe these Police offices are still in a job let alone promoted. They are a liability.

There should not be a "mute mode" available on body cams and no officer should be able to be promoted while legal action is against them.

8 million dollars !!! For sitting in your car ? 😮 those cops just changed her life

Ok...this little situation is not your normal slam dunk against the taxpayers. If I read the details correctly, both of these officers were ordered by the courts to bear some of the financial burden in this case. I no longer remember the exact amounts ordered here, but I remember the male cop was ordered to be responsible for approx. 1.5 mil to the mother, and the female cop being charged with $750,000 to the mother. Both daughters were ordered to be compensated by the officers, with the county responsible for the rest of the money in the settlement. In such an egregious case as this, I find it rewarding that even though both of these officers were promoted to sergeant, the mere fact that a HUGE amount of money will now be garnished from their paychecks probably for the duration of their respective careers, the subsequent promotions they received certainly isn't going to cover the amount of money that will be garnished from their paychecks, so, in order to maintain the lifestyles they were probably used to, both of these cops will probably have to moonlight second jobs to make ends meet. The fact that the courts ordered both cops to be financially responsible is a rarity we don't see very often, but this judgment serves as a good omen to show that the taxpayers won't be on the hook for the entire judgment. I am betting that both of these officers will probably be making less money than they were as patrol officers despite their promotions. Will the officers learn from this? Probably not. But they will have a constant reminder of their illegal actions for years to come! PRICELESS!!

Cop: "Show me your ID for no reason" Person: "No" Cop: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

As soon as a officer says, "you have to give me ID because I said so". Fired. No union protection. No more investigation. Fired on site. He loses his pension and law enforcement cert and must go work at McDonalds or Home Depot. No public sector work for him or his ego

I would also like to point out that all of this is taking place in a town with rampant crime that they're not doing anything about but they have time to harass poor people who are just trying to see their kids off to college to have a better life

I'm so glad that I got out of Law Enforcement when I see things like this. This was an embarrassment to all of the good officer's still out there and they are getting fewer by the day. This video helps to understand why cops are looked upon the way they are these days.

The worst part is where she assumes him telling her about the break ins is just him being a good person and letting them know about it for their safety...when really he was insinuating suspicion of her and her kids possibly being the perpetrators. Just sad.

"Right now, you're being arrested because you're not listening to us" is scary af. If you ever encounter a police officer like this, call a non emergency number for a state or federal agency, or even better, have a lawyer ready

It should be punishable with immediate termination if you ever mute any bodycam in any circumstance

And they are still on duty, and are now Sargents, that is disgusting! After a 850,000,000 lawsuit. They should be charged and fired! Ridiculous!!!! 🤬🤬😡

It really makes me question what kind of country we live in. To commit illegal acts ON CAMERA, cost the city $8mil, and then be PROMOTED after? Something’s not adding up and I really hope that police department gets investigated.

The reason it did not settle and went to trial was because the settlement amount did not even cover the legal costs. They attempted to settle for $750k but legal fees were already $1.2m.

The sheriff's department in my county (Alameda County) is a disgrace. There's a big investigation into the jail and numerous other issues.

"They don't want to listen to us, so let's detain them." That's scary.

WHAT A WOMAN! To have drove all the way from Nevada to California through the night so that your daughters can go to college and to handle this situation with such Grace. My heart goes out to her for being such an amazing person and mother!

Just imagine messing up at your job and costing your company $8 million and then getting a promotion.

It's refreshing to hear UPDATES about these sorts of police interactions. As for this one NOT being settled, it's likely that one of two scenarios were in play. It's VERY likely that the city lawyers low-balled a settlement offer, and the Loggerville's lawyers felt confident that they could get a far better reimbursement from a trial. The other possibility is that the cities lawyers did NOT offer a settlement, because they mistakenly concluded that they would easily win in court. Instead of the cops being reprimanded, suspended, or even fired, they were promoted because EVERYONE ASSUMED that there was no way this family would win their lawsuit. And, again, there is not a single interaction that a LEO can't manage to escalate into unwarranted violence, death, or a violation of Rights.

"You don't demand what we do." There is nothing weaker in this world than a cops ego. It's almost like they see professionalism as a sign of weakness or something.

I can’t believe these cops were promoted. This whole thing stunk to high hell of racial profiling and should’ve been handled so much better. With all that’s happened why are these kind of cops still a thing?

That’s awesome. I’m in South Carolina have multiple sclerosis and was attacked by law enforcement officers working under SC Governor’s orders. I was slammed face first on my back porch, lost numerous teeth from being slammed on my face and lost all hearing in my right ear being attacked for something I didn’t do. Conveniently the State police officer retired about a month after he used excessive force on me, I don’t trust anyone in law enforcement because I have had whatever I was attacked for by these officers. Lost my hearing, teeth, rights to see my son because the individuals who stole my identity October 4, 2021 used what they only had access to by stealing my identity. SC lawyers and SC family court judges have judged me on the shit they conspired up against me. My house was shot up by sheriff’s deputies that shot my house up because of a suspect that broke into my house, not one police report was done, my statement as a victim and elderly mother statements were never taken. My house burned completely down after the family court judge ordered me to & contractors to stay out of my house I was having repaired after lightning hit it June 2021. I was paying for all of the repairs, having my home rewired because of law enforcement shooting holes in my house. No one believed anything I was saying because it was all truth, I don’t have a home because of this entire state’s corruption, my life and health compromised because of these people and by God I’ve given definitive evidence to prove who committed the crimes I was accused of doing. I’m homeless because of these people, lost hearing in my right ear, teeth knocked out and my rights to my son have been taken from me because of this disgusting, unethical and immoral behavior all the way to our SC Governor and I will not back down from this fight. Ex-wife’s divorce attorney needs to be sued also because she is one of the ones who stole my identity. I’m royally pissed. In fact a gentleman just filed lawsuits against sheriff’s department deputies in a county (15 minutes away from where I was attacked at my house) fired over 50 shots at the man while his mother was standing at the truck window talking to the young man who was going to commit suicide. Hit the man 9 times and he lived. So I’m going to keep pushing for justice because this shit I’ve been put threw because of my ex-wife’s affair has converted from justice to injustice for me. Damn these bitches & I’m pissed. Homeless, lost rights to seeing my son, lost hearing and teeth because of what I can put numerous witnesses in front of anyone to show I’ve been through a living hell. I want justice and restitutions for what myself and son have gone thru, I want my house rebuilt because everything I’m saying as been proven. Attacking disabled people appears to be an epidemic that has gone way too far in South Carolina. Yet this State has the “Good ole boy syndrome “ and someone like me has no rights. I NEED A LAWFIRM TO SUE THE HELL OUT OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE HELL MYSELF, ELDERLY MOTHER AND SON HAVE GONE THROUGH. Elderly mother testified In Family Court that my ex-wife ran over me trying to kill me and that’s been ignored because of all of this crap these other individuals committed. I want every damn penny I will be entitled to and don’t give a rat’s ass who the LAWFIRM that will represent me goes after. I mean every penny just for the principle of the matter.

Until these thugs start losing their own money and pensions due to their illegal actions this will just continue.

Imagine a job where you get promoted after making an intentional 8 million dollar mistake

I'm starting to understand why they want to defund the police. They're largely a waste of space and money.

That was terrifying!

How the hell do you cost your employer 8.5 million dollars and get promoted instead of fired? WTF! And the cops wonder why so many people hate their guts.

the funny thing is the people actually breaking into cars could’ve gone through multiple while this interaction occurred

This town should be soooo proud of the way it welcomes people. Wow

These idiot cops need to be fired and prosecuted !

“Internal Affairs have done an investigation and found the officers did nothing wrong” AND there it is, folks! It’s like a template

None of these police officers should ever be allowed to be so much as mall security EVER AGAIN.

“We’re looking for males breaking into cars. Let’s harass this group of women sitting in a car not doing anything.” Man those cops must have some crazy dirt to cost their town as much money as they did and get PROMOTIONS

We need more cops to racially profile so we can sue them to the ground. Sue them to the ground and never let them go legally. Then press criminal charges.

There is no reason to EVER EVER mute the mic. It’s for evidence. If the city can edit out parts when the public request it, then the tape and all audio should remain intact for at least court purposes.

It’s very clear that a racist cop can just use the guise of the color of law in order to violate someone’s rights. To imagine these interactions without actual cameras a judge almost always believes a cop.

No Disciplinary Action and a Promotion ? You got to be kidding me.

I'm sure if that civil suit judgment came out of the department's budget, those officers would've been fired immediately.

That a jury of peers recognised the need for compensation but Internal Affairs determined no wrongdoing demonstrates the credibility of this police department.

I see why alot of people HATE the police.

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN guilty in a court of law. These cops are so crazy

If cops fail upward, just think how stupid that must make a police chief.

Love seeing citizens who know their rights and follow it with legal action. Takes a lot of patience and courage.

Absolutely unacceptable!!! OMG the overreach of these deputies, the audacity! I'm so freaking glad they sued a won

So glad they did not Settle out of Court

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. MOST of these interactions could have been so easily avoided if the cops didn’t have such a fetish for looking at IDs…

I'm so glad to hear of the award. The daughter will have her college education fully paid for. They fully deserve the money. I wish they got more.

When you said Alameda county I knew this was gonna be rough

It was very traumatizing for that woman and her children. Those police officers should be ashamed of their behavior. I hope that never happens again.

These “officers” are a disgrace to the police force. I can’t believe they weren’t all fired for their abhorrent behavior. This is absolutely disgusting. My heart heart goes out to the woman and her daughters.

I’ve seen alot of videos but this one probably takes the cake as the saddest encounter I’ve seen. Being separated from her children, grabbed and threatened with arrest without reason even though she asked, and asked for a supervisor only to be denied saying “you don’t get to ask that” is just heartbreaking. I can’t imagine being in that situation. I hope her family is ok.

Cops simply do not care if they make bad arrests, and there are no consequences to them for doing so.

I can imagine the terror of this family and the trauma is forever.

Without a doubt this is one of the easiest cases of a lawsuit I've ever seen

My heart goes out to the woman. She’s in a very difficult situation and circumstance and being treated very poorly…..disgraceful

No muted body cams.period.

I'm not sure I want a promotion knowing I have to pay $750,000.

This is why public sector unions and qualified immunity should be abolished. No private sector company would continue to employ someone who cost them this much money. Why are the people forced to?

This one was just disgusting. They’re sitting there waiting for coffee doing absolutely nothing at all. Because “oh there are car breakins”? Please!

Muting a body cam SHOULD be criminal!!!!! And result in IMMEDIATE termination!

LOL, the power trip is unreal.

"Relax, relax, we're just here to disregard everything you say and violate all your rights.. *shhh, shhhhh*"

This is so disgusting. It’s almost unbelievable. If I haven’t watched several more that look like this, she deserves every penny she gets.

I’m so glad that the cops faces are shown. They had when they’re put on camera.

This is just maddening and sad.

I love how they can just investigate themselves and find they are innocent 😇

This guy's a real hero for protecting us from this dangerous Mom and her terrible college-matriculating kids. His family should be so proud of him.

i dont get how american police are able to shout shut up of to "fucking sit down" or any unprofessional language like that while being viewed as anything other then tyrannical and childish

When you continue to allow the fox to guard the hen house, you will always end up with dead chickens.

Please cover police gangs in the LA county sheriff's department. It needs to be talked about more.

It is disturbing to learned these bastards have been promoted. This means the chief of police is in agreement with their abhorrent conduct. This is insane.

A settlement that includes a NDA should be an absolute non-starter.

"Mute mode" shall be used while we get our lies together and dont want to get shreaded in court.
