Tritter Finally Arrests House | House M.D. 

The Actor was brilliant. The character's premise however was terrible. Tritter was just a vindictive person who went far and beyond for a simple altercation. He went after others just because they were associated with House.

this is so true. to play a good villain is criminally underrated.

Only people who hated Tritter were teenage girls crushing on House. Tritter didn’t do anything wrong and House deserved to be knocked down a few pegs

@@nomercy2959 oh boy, transphobia, how cute.

@@zedstreams4765 I agree with you, the actor was brilliant.

Drugs were planted.

Remember, cool jacket, only space for the essentials!

Also, you can't open a bottle when driving a bike.

Plot required it, and they were planted anyway.

Earlier in the episode he writes a patient a prescription for them and goes to the pharmacy to fill it, but the patient was a hypochondriac who had nothing wrong with them so he pocketed the real pills and replaced them with mints and gives the patient the bottle of mints. This leaves him with a bunch of loose pills in his pocket.

House doesn't have friends. Maybe a friend.

I don't understand why twitter want to arrest house, and how is it legal for twitter to arrest someone

@@havefuntazarasu5367 HAHA SO FUNNI LMAO HE SAID TWITTER, HJE IS FUNNY MEME GUY GUYS LOOKS AT FUNNI MEME GUY HAHAHAHAAH PUDDI!

@@Neopopulist do you need some attention? Ok I am here dont worry

He was annoying

You're right. But keep in mind that his character had been waiting for that examination for 2 hours. I would also not like a doctor that wouldnt take me seriously or give me a proper examination after having waited that long.

@@kolonels12 Sure, thats such a good justification for assaulting a man who is reliant on a walking aid and pain medication.

@@SpielkindFR Like I said, you're right.

He's basically portraying a typical cop. Kudos to his actor for making it so realistic.

Tritter was bullied in school 100%. Now he's a cop. Figures, person with mental issues becomes a cop. Become the bully.

Yup exactly

And yet, Tritter was in the right at first. He ended up going too far.

I remember him from the green mile mostly

@isamic That and Ellie's father in Contact.

Watch him in the The Green Mile. That should change the character you associate him with.

i was more scared of vogel.

Is not like House tried to hard to beat him.

Tritter completely beat house. House couldn't think of anything that could save him and Tritter had him at every step. Let's not forget, the only reason House got away in the end is because Cuddy lied for House. Otherwise, Tritter would've had the final victory too

@@raulbetancourt5795 he couldn't really do much. Guy was a cop. Probably crooked.

@@alldayagain So, being a cop doesn't make untouchable, specially if you're crook.

he never beat this guy . he was the only one who beat House

@@NitpickingNerd In the end he did, Tritter wanted House to learn a lesson but House was never sentenced and he didn't even go to rehab for real, House planned it all. Also, God knows how much time passed till Tritter took the thermometer out his butt XD I would say House beat him.

Actually, this guy would've beaten House if Cuddy hadn't intervened. They were going to nail House to the wall on charges of fraudulently obtaining a prescription for oxycodone (prescribed to one of Wilson's patients who had just died), but at the last minute Cuddy forged pharmacy records suggesting that she had swapped the pills for placebos & presented these records to the judge, thereby convincing the judge to block the charges from proceeding to trial. Funny enough, he still ended up spending a night in jail for contempt of court, as he walked out in the middle of the proceedings to cure a patient. Lol

He can't use physical strength and as a default has got a defensive response system instead. Hes smart but not always nice.

In the end though, I always knew House would be okay. He saves a dying patient's life every week. No judge in their right mind would sentence a doctor as smart and valuable as him to prison.

Yeah right. In a situation like that you'd just have to plead no contest. Cops always win in court. Their word over ours.

Not only that. It's night. "Your pupils are dilated." "....do you know how light and pupils work, detective?"

Pupils dilate in the dark. Everyone knows this. No reasonable suspicion, 4th amendment says that search of his jacket was unlawful. Case was going to get tossed out regardless of what he carried in his pocket.

It's not that, literally every movie/show incorrectly portrays opiates as dilating the eyes. Even movies about heroin like requiem for a dream get it wrong.

@@sam7259 I think House accurately portrays how cops use dilated pupils (at night) as a false reasonable suspicion.

Uh, I think the real issue was, y'know, the vicodin in his pockets. The medical stuff pissed Tritter off sure, but that isn't what House is being charged and brought into court for.

@@NicoUnken my bigger issue is how illegal this was, officer without uniform follows a doctor home, illegally searches, assaults him by tripping him. This cop will be lucky to have a job after lawsuits and house will be lucky to have a friend 😂

@@NicoUnken he wouldn't have gone after house if he simply refused the rectal thermometer and signed a refusal form 😂. He could have filed a complain about house's behavior instead of tripping him and house is like this to everyone so i doubt he'd be the first one to file a complain.

Tritter did not refuse the thermometer procedure because he put his trust in House to act like a professional, you know, literally do his job at his work place. Tritter only consented to a medical procedure of taking a temperature reading. What House did was shove an object into a guys a$$ and left him in a vulnerable position with the explicit goal of humiliating him. The fact that you are on house's side in this is... Pretty fuqin concerning.

"So he shoved a thermometer up your butt for no reason, except as retaliation for him tripping over your foot as he was walking out of his office?"

Right, just show the judge this episode and they'll know House is telling the truth. It's not like the judge would have to take into account the officers story with lack of a body cam which would be completely different from reality.

@@levigoldson4242 ​ I mean I don't think Cuddy would have gotten involved if Tritter hadn't complained to her about what happened in that room. So a judge wouldn't have to believe House. They would just have to believe Cuddy or the hospital's HR. Cuddy probably also knew that House didn't apologise to Tritter as he demanded, so a judge might take that into account as well, right? Besides wasn't Tritter a detective? What's he doing pulling over people and searching them? Even with lack of a body cam I don't think a judge would rule out retaliation just like that.

@@levigoldson4242 Fair points all.

Yeah and in real life House would be fired and sued from every job in a few minutes. This is a TV show, not reality.

Michael Caine in his 50s would also be good. Maybe too British but good nonetheless.Kevin Spacey would be good as well. He was good as the evil president of the US.

😂 is he?😅😅

@@notvenom1152 he speaks spanish, so yeah, he's mexican.

@@userDpuP3O5ohP04zKdB are people from Spain, Colombia, and Guatemala Mexican too? 😂

@@notvenom1152 yes

How was Tritter wanting power in the first interaction?

​@@imnotstupid5058 He felt entitled to House's respect, like all men intoxicated on their own power or desire for power. (As evidenced by his physical punishing of House, a cripple, for not respecting him.)

@@imnotstupid5058 He expected small talk and an exchange of names, which is a sign of mutual respect and propriety. He expected the doctor to humor his feelings over the doctor's own opinion, which is a sign of deference to authority.

@@darklessian Its alarming to me how people always excuses House's behavior. Reminds me of how bully's always got away with things in school.

@@cyde1345 Exactly! To me what's brilliant about House and Tritter's encountering was that they very similar in personality.

Except that is not House's type of medicine. Tritter was the literal embodiment of a child throwing a temper tantrum to get daddys attention. People defending Tritter when all he was is a sad little narcissist who thought he knew more about medical science than House did and threw a tantrum because he didn't get his way as a bully. He purposefully hunted House down for revenge as a police officer; that's abuse of power if I've ever seen it.Most of the things that he said about House apply back to him and even worse. He was projecting so hard. House in this scenario didn't do anything wrong. During Tritter's first visit, he kicked House's cane out from under him while he was walking. That is assault. Prior to that, House had only commented in glib and rude ways which are not crimes. Not to absolve House of the things he did afterwards, but Tritter was the provoking agent.

Nah usually the prescription is written on the bottle if you're caught with these kinds of narcotics without proof you own it, it can end very badly for you since these are class A drugs. At least this is from my experience.

The prescription info would be on the bottle holding the prescribed drugs. You can't carry around controlled substances without evidence of a prescription, or you risk being arrested if caught. You *might* be able to get the charges dropped at a later date if you supply evidence of a valid prescription, but I'm not sure.

The law requires you to keep prescribed narcotics in the same bottle given to you by the pharmacy.

​@@Tyrosine0910 Ok, it might be marked with your name, but it might also not be. I have class C drugs and they don't have my name on the bottle, only on the prescription.

@@StudleyDuderight Wait what? I do understand it's a good habit, but it's illegal?

This was basically the equivalent of “I’ll burn you”.

⁠@@JacobDTulio”When you’re burned……” - get it?

Also it's in the middle of the night. Tritter's case against house was extremely flimsy and all House needed to do was express his rights and common sense. I mean... how the hell was it okay for Tritter to raid House's... house... because he found prescription drugs on him and contradicting shoddy evidence like what you said? This guy was a bigger baby than Vogler and the only reason he got far was because House was dumber for letting this guy walk all over him

@@oscarm4095 tbh tritter is like a cop who would racially profile people this guy just used his authority and power on house cause he didnt like him i get that house is a jerk but he overreacted and abused his power

@@pko6596 Just as House did with the thermometer.

@@oxosixis Just like Tritter did by tripping him?

@@Black_Knight_-BK- people like to point out the thermometer thing, but they sure love to forget about Tritter tripping House.

Long time House fan. But I’ve been wondering. If a hospital truly had a Dr. like House, how long would they keep him around?

@@deepsleep7822 not a legal not medical expert, but common sense tells me House would've been fired pretty fast, like, the patients on the show have so many provable instances of medical malpractice, even if they end up saving such patient, they are still going against hospital protocol, we are made believe that pretty much all saved patients in the show are just so overwhelmed with gratitude to be alive that they forget all the illegal things House and his team do, and that's not always the case IRL, heck, even if it was, a real life hospital wouldn't turn a blind eye to this. And it's not only the instances from a medical standpoint, but also from a criminal one when the team breaks and enters patients' houses and invades their privacy, Cuddy would be up to her eyes in lawsuits IRL. Anyway, if you want a medical opinion from an actual expert, check Dr. Mike's channel, he's analyzed a few of House's episodes and has pointed out how bad it would be if medical cases were handled like this IRL.

@ADrumchapelBear Well Tritter would have nothing on House if House would just obey the law the first place, and we are not talking about unreasonable laws here.

@@deepsleep7822 house even in universe wasnt hirable except by cuddy so basically only house's friends keep him employed if this situation happened in the real world tritter and house would both be fired most likely

House would've lost his medical license back in the first half of Season 1 IRL.

I fear you are wrong… sadly……

He knew what kind of a person house is through one meeting, how come he isn’t as good as house?

@@eminem3055 he's hypocrate and a bully what kind of cop would stalk someone and arrest them because they're going through speed limit, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night

@@cypherusuh So is house, and how else do you plan to deal with someone like him?

Trashy cop doesn't even deserved the badge only using it to fullfil his own ego

exactly my thoughts. vicodin won't dilate pupils

House was correct in his actions, with the exception of leaving a patient in the room with a thermometer left in place. Tritter would have cost the city millions of dollars in judgments against them. When you are sure of egregious Rights Violations like Tritter committed in Federal Court, the City usually just wants it settled before trial, so they don't have to admit to the officer doing illegal and unethical violations. In this case, Tritter had no probable cause to illegally search House. First, the Terry Frisk (from Terry v Ohio) is highly limited in the scope of what the officers can search for. They are allowed to search in and around the person and vehicle for weapons. Tritter went into House's pockets. That is more than a pat search. That has been deemed a clear violation of the 4th Amendment. Second, Tritter abused his authority and retaliated against House for a personal matter. While police often do this, it has been deemed unethical and unconstitutional. Third, the arrest was not usual. A detective has the right to pull someone over, but generally speaking, it is not detectives that do traffic stops. This is called a pretextual stop. Wren v Ohio was decided, and pretextual stops were authorized ONLY if there was probable cause or reasonable suspicion. In this case, Tritter had none. It could be argued the only reason for the stop was retaliation for House not submitting to the bullying tactics earlier. In any case, most judges would throw this out.

Does tritter tripping house constitute assault?

@@drrichardpaul It's clear Tritter did not have sufficient reasoning to do whatever he did, he basically abused his authority and made use of normal people's unfamiliarity towards the law.

@@Pachyderm3 the comment was asking what a legal opinion was, so his reply only served the purpose of answering many of the questions that michael had

I don't know about an actual lawyer, but I can see Saul Goodman trying the miracle on Christmas stunt

It ended soon for the same reason the Vogler arc ended soon: realistically there's no way they were going to stop House.

what ???

No duh

House is a POS who deserves what Tritter did.

Also known as a cop

House has reasons to be more callous at times, but being a jerk is always just his nature. It's not always about what is best for the patient (that getting especially evident with clinic patients). But, to say House was being petty so you take the side of Tritter is unfair. Tritter didn't like that House was rude, so, he assaulted House. That isn't remotely ok to do, especially as someone who is supposed to be a held to a higher standard (like police). So, House could have responded with a lawsuit and been entirely justified. He could have been like many people and returned the violence, but House chose to go for a non-violent but, arguably, more painful response. While it was petty, I'd argue it is far less petty than assaulting someone for being rude. Then, Tritter goes into a heavily bias investigation because, at least in the beginning, he just wants to get back at House. Whether his motives change throughout to wanting to actually stop a criminal or do anything other than make House's life more difficult is murky. Considering the lengths Tritter goes through, including hurting other people, just to show House he isn't above anyone is neither noble, nor praiseworthy. House is wrong, and House needed to fix himself, but if you go about "correcting" someone in a drastic way, the ends don't always end up justifying the means.

Tritter is literally a corrupt cop and breaks the law to harass House's coworkers...

Tritters was on the side of good until he abused his power to harass anyone who's close to House. He started as a no-nonsense cop then ended as a corrupt cop, abusing his power for his personal vendetta.

@@johnavernia1026, Sort of like Forrest Whittaker's turn on The Shield, now that I think about it.

@@johnavernia1026 Tritter assaults House within just a few minutes. (When he kicks the cane.) If I assaulted doctors every time they didn't want to do a test that I find necessary, I would be in jail because I'm not a cop.

@@dealneil4982 Yes, like House did to hım before

But he didn't have to unnecessarily apologize.

Cops have gone free after killing innocent people on camera

@@smurfyday you have to consider, those cops are usually protected by entire departments full of rejects just like them. Tritters department probably wouldn't support this, therefore the laws still in play

It could, it should. But it won't.

you would hope so but things like this happen more often than you would know. i deal with cases every day where LE breaks the law and yet they face little to no consequences for it.

Forgot how he kicked house's cane out. Tritter deserved everything he got

Agree 100%, but would also stipulate Tritter was right and that House bullies his patients and the doctors who don't agree with him. But House cures them, so it's not harassment.

@@Tiabliaj1989 last i checked being a bully wasn't illeagile

​@@dragon22214 Illeagile? You mean illegal? Bullying in-and-of itself may not be "illegal" but you absolutely can be charged if it leads to harm, or is based on several factors such as gender, race, sexuality, religion, etc. The more you know.

@@dragon22214 being a bully isnt illegal, misuse of police and judicial resources for a personal grudge, charges can be filed.

more like from their first meeting Tritter was trying to push his weight around. The guy is flat foot not a medical doctor. If he wanted tests to be done, he could have easily went to another physician and asked for a second opinion. House was under no obligation to run any tests or do more than what he did. He made his diagnosis. It should have ended there.

Retaliatory stop

You've obviously not experienced the level of deference judges give to cops. "Amazing coincidence. Same as my urgent care Doctor? He seemed like such a nice guy." or alternatively, "I observed behavior that indicated severe drug addiction and I investigated." Maybe if we had a truly fair and impartial judicial system the case would be thrown out but that is not what we have.

This is why it’s good tv

You forgot the fact he was 15mph over the speed limit, in a neighborhood on vicodin... i dont understand why people argue for house here when they have seen the whole series. Tritter was correct that house was an addict who needed to be held accountable for not handling that issue.

@@Joshpower57 What does that have to do with them in the clinic?

Yup, what House did was SA. But fanboys like to glaze over House because they think they are just as smart and can therefore be justified in being pos.

*We loved House because Tritter was right.

I agree. House is the star but he is kind of a lunatic. Fun to watch but he would be impossible to deal with

House did subjected him to an invasive medical procedure for no reason other than to humiliate him I think house is the bully here

@@Chickenbone263 yea after Tritter kick houses cane because house told him that a test wasn't necessary.

@@aceofcheems7685 He called him idiot that was the reason, not the test refusal.

@@agatanakonieczny2213 Still doesn't justify kicking a cane to trip someone who has a legal medical handicap. That's textbook assault.

@@BlazeIgnitus I said nothing about justification. I found his reason different.

cops can do whatever they want it doesn't matter if it's legal or not.

thin blue line my friend

Yeah, but you are forgetting the fact that House refuses to admit that he can actually BE bullied in the first place because he's so arrogant. I think the cop had his number right - House is profoundly arrogant and set himself up for the fall...and in doing so, demonstrated stupidity...which he ALSO cannot admit for the same reason. That's the whole point. House is so arrogant that he actually generated this situation that he cannot get out of without admitting he is an idiot specifically for being so blatantly abusive to a patient.

Cops have, and always will, get away with anything and everything. If a cop raped me tomorrow, that cop wouldn't go to jail or apologize or face any kind of negative consequence because, y'know, they're cops.

Cops get away with everything. Acab.

If any doctor behaved the way house did with you, you would want to do the same

I love House but technically he did sexually assault Tritter lol

Some people get burned and try to ensure it doesn't happen to someone else. Tritter is a cop who doesn't like bullies, and wanted to ensure that other people weren't treated the same way he was. His character is consistent and well written.

Tritter is a cop. What did you expect?

House was more than simply a jerk, leaving the rectal thermometer on purpose is pretty fucked up thing to do and would likely get him charged with assault.

House may not have ever rolled any people in wheelchairs down stairs, but some of the things he's done aren't much better ethically, especially with Mark in Season 1. There's a reason he went to jail and should have went back.
