Why Are You Arresting Me? I'm Innocent! 

My friend was falsely arrested for drug charges because a cop saw his tattoos and dime bags and thought he was a drug dealer. The dime bags were clean and empty. My friend is a bartender and gets tipped coins all the time, so he has to put them in bags to keep them from getting lost. His family hooked him up with a lawyer and he got the charges dropped, but it really shook his trust in the police after that.

That tomato one... It's a good thing you do your research first.

My husband was falsly arrested twice for supposedly beating me. The first time was because my ex called and lied saying he did it despite everyone questioned said otherwise but he's their favorite snitch so the cops believed him anyway. 2nd time some cops on late night patrol just jumped to conclusions and made up stuff just to get him arrested when we were arguing outside (nothing physical happened and we were at least 10 feet apart just bickering at eachother) they made up a bunch of stuff on the report and the body/dash cams proved we weren't lying. As a result my husband wasnt allowed to have contact with me, the 2nd time it went on for almost a year! Hubby developed a twitch disorder and has needed lots of counseling and therapy thanks to the stress of the situation. In short the cops where I live are a joke

When I was in college, I was the oldest student in the Dorm and had a single room. When the RA did an inspection of the room, I was out to class and he "found" my bottle of Vodka which was "hidden" on top of a dresser in the open. He called the police because of under age drinking and the cops came, did another search of my room and put my Vodka and shot glass in evidence bags. By then I had come back from class, the RA went off on my saying how I just ruined my life and under age drinking is illegal and I could and likely would get kicked out of school. All the while the two cops, one holding the two evidence bags where behind glaring at me. Finally one of the cops asked if I had anything to say, I did. "I am 21, so I can have that." That caused the RA eyes to widen and the police looked at each other as I pulled out my ID. The second cop checked it and nodded, he has been legal for almost a year. Now it was the RA turn to get glared at as the cops handed me back my Vodka and shotglass, school rules where if you where of age you could have it. Needless to say the cops began to rip the RA a new one for wasting almost an hour of their time. Worse part was the records of the ages of each person in the dorm was in the office, 1 floor down. It would have taken maybe 5 minutes for them to check my age.

I got falsely accused of abusing my girlfriend. I think the cops believed me because they left the cell door open, made me a pot noodle and gave me magazines. The other people who were arrested in the adjacent cells kicked off as they treated me differently. They were really nice and dropped me back off round the corner from where I was staying and made sure no one in the neighbourhood saw me. The officer gave me advice and I thanked him. Hardly spoke a word but it gave me comfort that someone believed me.

I firmly believe that a cops duty is to uphold and protect the law, However this duty should not make you exempt from it. If a cop commits a crime, they should be charged accordingly if there is a clear abuse of power.

I would not be surprised if this were all completely legal. When is the general public going to stop treating these people like universal heroes and realize that they are COMPLETELY out of control?

Should be allowed to sue cops, judges and lawyers for malpractice like doctors. Maybe then they'll do their jobs properly.

ill be honest, the one at 22-23 minutes made me grind my teeth- "just letting it go" is 2/3 of the reason corrupt/crazy LEO's get away with this kind of stupidity. look, i know its an extremely stressful situation, but every time you/someone does this, its like giving the finger to -everyone- else its happened to!

"We didn't arrest you, we detained you." Yeah, I tried using that excuse, but the jury didn't buy it. Had to snitch on some Swedes to avoid that kidnapping prison sentence.

That end music is glitching hardcore

This is coming from someone who wants to work in the K-9 unit. I promise to be as polite and considerate as possible on cases.

I once lived in a place where cops busted in thinking we were going to have a “pot party”. They trashed our house and found nothing. I guess they got away with destroying our stuff and leaving us to replace it all.🤷🏻‍♂️

I was "taken in for questioning" because I matched the description of a guy who'd been mugging people in my old neighborhood in California. The muggings had been going on for about a month. They looked at my driver's license and saw that I lived in Hawaii. I was in town visiting my family for the first time in 6 months. This meant I was in a completely different state when the muggings were happening.

The story at 5:19 - file a complaint with the state bar on the judge. You were denied public counsel, which is HIGHLY illegal.

Honestly, it seems like cops will ruin your life, so fight for your life.

False arrest should be a year to life in prison for the officer depending on how bad they screwed up your life and how remorseful they were (I honestly think 95% of cops are incapable of remorse though) "I found out that 9 out of the 10 vice cops were dirty." A few bad apples 🙄

And then police wonder why people don't trust them. At. All.

4:52 that's literally a blatant violation of the miranda rights. things like this are the reason I want to be a defense lawyer: innocent people get fucked over way too often

My ex-wife was a real b*tch because I had started dating again. She accused me of hitting her. There was a fight, but I never touched her. The night of the incident I gave a statement to the cops. A week later we were in front of a judge for Child Services because the kids were in the house. I went to jail then for 40 hours because the judge wouldn't set my bail amount for a day. A year later, because of Covid, I get my trial. Prosecutor offers a year in jail as my plea which my lawyer tells me is the most the judge could hit me with. This would obviously make me lose my job and kids. I say f-it and go to trial. On the stand my ex-wife tells a story. The cop who took our statements tells us she gave a different statement the night of. The judge pauses, asks the ex-wife why the stories are different. Ex says the cop is lying. My lawyer asks for my case to be dismissed and the judge looks at the prosecutor, who shrugs, then bangs the gavel and I was out of there. Still waiting to get my bail money back from the state though

Most people have no idea how little it takes for a cop to make an arrest. It is 'probable cause' which mean 'witness' or someone accusing you of something. Nothing more. Literally if someone claims, including a cop, that they witnessed you doing something illegal that is all of the evidence needed to make an arrest. A conviction will be more difficult, but the arrest...

My best friend’s father is a quiet balding black man who is about 50, 5’4, solid but not ripped with no criminal history. A person stole his info and has a maroon colored car like my friend’s dad. This man is a Hispanic, tattooed man in his 20s, around 6’+ and ripped. For about 2 years, Mr. J got pulled over by multiple cop cars then held at gunpoint once every couple months. One time they didn’t actually walk up to the car until an hour after pulling him over, gun in his face even when it was CLEARLY not the man they were looking for. One time he unfortunately had bullet holes in the side of his cars. After seeing that, once again, he wasn’t the Mr. J they were looking for, they decided to interrogate him instead. “Why do you have bullet holes in the side of your car?” implying he was part of/reason for a shooting/shoot-out. “Because I live here,” is all he said. It was all the explanation needed. They moved on and after realizing that although he was quiet, he was _not_ going to let himself be bullied, they let him go to work. He was written up.

This is definitely my time to shine and maybe you guys will like it. I was falsely arrested and spent two weeks in jail for prescription of my own medication that they also gave me while I was in jail 🤣🙃 let me explain: I have mental health issues that have been medicated for for several years. I had recently moved to West New York (Think Niagara Falls area). I found new doctors and got all of my medication‘s updated/ legally prescribed in this state for my continued treatment. I recently became engaged about a month after my arrival to my friends brother. My fiancé wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box. Honestly her was really dumb and a bit of a troublemaker from what I was learning as I literally met him and got engaged like a month later. The only other time I had talked with him was the week I visited for spring break while I was in town but not nothing more. Basically you can tell I don’t know this guy very well (look.. I know lol🙃 I’m not looking like the brightest either right now but hindsight is 20/20 y’all). Anyway my fiancé at the time apparently had stolen some medication from his family friend. A few days later we had been hanging out and I drove him back to his parents house. everyone started accusing both of us of stealing this medication. medication happens to be the exact same medication I am legally prescribed. His mother started screaming at him that she found the pill bottles in his room and because I didn’t have anything to do with this and he wanted to leave I was like look I’m leaving and went back to my apartment with him. I was griping at him on the way back and as soon as I pulled into my apartment the police swarmed my vehicle asking him to step out of the vehicle and he did and I sat there and complied with everything they asked because I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong. they then asked to search my truck which I was OK with they asked me about this Container on my keychain for my medication and I said it didn’t have anything in it but it was for _____ meds. they looked in it and saw nothing. They then proceeded to ask about the medication that Was found on my fiancé as well (which he lied to me and said he didn’t have any left). I said I don’t know anything about it just that I have a legal prescription for this medication and they didn’t care. I said my pill bottles are upstairs I can show them to you that I have legal prescriptions for this and I didn’t have anything to do with this and they still didn’t care they took me to jail when I got to jail they asked me if I was prescribed any medication I told them what I was prescribed. they verified this with the pharmacy and was able to verify I did have a legal prescription for the medication I was in jail for but did not release me. they just gave me the medication as prescribed while I was in jail. For two weeks this goes on until I finally get in front of a judge for them to dismiss all the charges and just charge me with failure to change home address and give me time served and let me go. I still want to sue them.

Videos like these prove police can be more of a menace than actual criminals

ITT: lots of people explaining why so many of us hate pigs.

It happened to me, I was arrested 10 years later and pulled over because the dealer tag couldn’t be seen though the tint on the car. It was a ticket for a broken head light that had been taken care of. I still had the paperwork and was able to prove it but if the warrant is out they take you proof or not. The cop was amazing and keep me in his truck until my husband could get there to get me right out. I had to go in long enough to be intake and than released so about 2 hours total and it was the scariest thing to ever happen to me. Now I have PTSD when cops get behind me. My heart races, fingers and hands go numb its so scary and all over a broken tail light that I didn’t even realize had went out. To make matters worse they put me in a cell with a lady in this suite without clothes that was mentally ill. 1 week later she killed herself in the jail because of lack of care. So sad horrible ex

At 26:00 with the pregnant girl . All of what the cops did seems highly illegal

For those curious about why the irish citizens got treated radically different that is because the police have negative immunity when it comes to international incidents. If you can afford one, get a second citizenship. Your new host nation will go to bat for you. There was an incident of police brutality years back. It made the headlines and the prosecutors, judges, and police unions did nothing about it. Until the person's host nation complained about how he was treated. Suddenly the officer involved was arrested immediately, he was found guilty and jailed. The police paid out a huge undisclosed settlement with the victim. If you have money, Panama loves having that money in their banks and has a very generous citizenship policy.

Ask your Senators representatives to end qualified immunity

the outro audio glitching at 32:25 is very menacing.

4:40 this is a perfect example of why whenever cops get dusted off i simply laugh and pop the champagne

I’ve always been pro police, but hearing so many stories of such gross misconduct I’m rethinking my position

At this point I just think it's a pride thing like they don't want to be proven wrong or something their actions are excusable of course

For a long time I've held the view that just because the police are there to enforce the law they think that they're somehow above it and unfortunately most of this video reinforces that mind set. I know not all cops are bad but the cliche one bad apple spoils the bunch holds true.

On August 19th, 2019; at night. I was driving to my skatepark as a routine thing because all my friends were there and I was still active in skating: I like skating as it helps with my weight-loss and kept me in shape. I was feeling myself that night and didnt pay attention to the cop driving behind me and I was having a smoke on my way to the park to go hang and drink with my skating buddies. I pulled to a stoplight, took a right and then I got lit up by the blue guys. I pulled over and was going to put my gun away in my car but the cop got out right away and walked up to me before I could do anything. I lived in a conservative city and since I already had experienced their racism before in the past. I didnt want to get shot since Im mexican. They are really apprehensive towards coloreds. Cop walks up and asks me whats going on and why I got stopped. (I dont know why cops would ever ask "do you know why I stopped you for?" like as if I have the vehicle code violations book memorized by heart.) I said "idk", he told me it was for failing to signal before turning. He asks for info and insurance. He asks me where Im headed and I told him where. He then asks me about contraband and I said no and then refused to answer questions; I wasnt required to answer his questions. He asked to search my car. I said no. I get asked to step out and since that is *required*, I had to step out. He asked me the same thing about drugs and all that noise. Another cop shows up and they both take turns asking me questions and then the cop explains to the other cop whats going and then we wait for K9 officer. I get stuck with cop#2 and the one who stopped me keeps circling around my car to see if he could "find anything suspicous or interesting". K9 officer shows up 15 minutes later and the officer who stopped me discusses with the K9 officer. Both the cop and the K9 circle around my car and give a quick look around. Eventually they agree to use the dog for a sniff test and then I get escorted away from my car. Cop#2 says he has to do a "safety patdown search", I said no and I didnt consent. He said he didnt needed it since its not a "search" according to him and he puts his hands on me to make sure he has a grip on me incase if I run or resist him. I didnt know what to do at that point but I knew if I did anything but comply. I was probably gonna get a baton to face and shoved to the ground. He searches me down **ILLEGALLY** and finds my pistol. I got nervous by the way he grabbed my gun and thought he was gonna *ND* me, he was struggling to get it out of the holster. He said I was resisting and that I was preventing him from grabbing my pistol. But on video and my experience. I knew myself that I never touched the gun or him. But they all jumped on me and was restrained tightly. I was scared that I was gonna get gravely injured as a brown man with a gun. I knew how cops are with coloreds with guns. I didnt want to die. Luckily none of that happened and they fully-pat me down and cuff me. I was read my rights and the cops berated me as to why I have a gun and all the shit I had on me. I told them I was allowed to by my constitutional right and they all insinuated that I might do something criminal and "go to war" on someone or something. Thinking I was gonna shoot someone. I had over 300 rounds in the car as a backup as well, luckily they didnt seize the boxes. They ran the dog and searched my car and found my pipe. Yes, it was used to smoke weed, but so was tobacco and cbd flower. And it wasnt smoked in awhile. So there was no solid proof that it was used to smoke weed. They charged me anyways and put me in jail. My gun was seized. Car towed. and i go to jail to be strippedsearch and had to bendover and cough. I lost my rights for 2 years and all the stress I had to go thru on the case. I lost 2 years of my life. And even more off my life expectancy and health. Put my life on hold for a real long time. They dropped it recently because the prosecutors deemed it was "illegal", evidence was suppressed and case thrown out in one fucking day. I cant wait to go sue them for all the trouble they caused for me.

As person who is supporter of law enforcement and who was a police officer in a small town, and have friends who are still officers, take these words of advice to heart. Police and prosecutors have one job putting people away they deemed no fit for their standards of society and depending if they have badge fever they will do that job no matter the cost, so never talk to police without a lawyer, if they show up your house and ask for you to step outside, ask if your being arrested or being detained and if they have a warrant! If they don’t, tell them to come back with one, and they persist say you are not saying anything without a lawyer present, I don’t care if you have nothing to hide and are innocent that few hundred bucks of lawyer fee could keep you from being put in prison for something you didn’t do.

I was detained for a few hours until I bailed myself out for false accusation of threat by my co worker bully who I confronted. I was never charged of the crime. Case dismissed. Money wasted. Reputation ruined at work due to gossiping. I couldnt leave job because I needed money. It was the rock bottom of my life because people would judge you even though they dont know the truth.

11:03 The strange thing is on a RU-vid short I found two comments saying he blamed the COPS for kicking off his drug addiction when it clearly states he blames the money

I was jogging when cop car clipsr knocking me to the ground. I get hand cuffed then questioned for thirty minutes on why was running after finding nothing the cop begrudgingly let's me go and warns me he better not see me in the area again This was in the parking lot of my apartment building.

Some of you may remember the best anti-hero in the US, Jeff the meth addict. Could pin a thousand crimes on him, but the one they interrogated him on was entirely bogus, to quote him. The man was innocent. Guilty, but innocent.

One thing I have learned from this is that most police forces are wack

A cop tried to arrest my father for providing alcohol to a minor. I was loading groceries into my uncle's car. My uncle is a deputy who had been injured in the line of duty and couldn't be on his feet for long. The image of my gigantic uncle in a scooter cart thing and massive father in cuffs (both are bodybuilders and dad's 6'8", uncle's 6'7.5") yelling at this fun-sized cop about how absolutely stupid they are for seeing a ten year old putting a case of beer into the trunk of a car with two adults present was priceless. Then the shift commander shows up and joins the yelling party. Eventually the dipshit cop says they saw me drinking something right after putting the beer in the trunk. They weren't wrong, I was drinking something. I was drinking a root beer. In a plastic bottle. The actual beer was in cans.

32:25

This has utterly smashed my already low opinion of the local court and cop system in place.

My take away: If the police suspect you even a little bit, they will treat you like shit no matter how little evidence they have to back themselves up.

not arrested myself, but when I was 13-14 (8th grade), the police of a small town 20-30 minutes away called my house at 2 AM and asked my mother if I was home. I had been "spotted" driving a truck and setting off fireworks there. My mother was bewildered, and told them I was. I was the really nerdy, boring sort that did next to nothing. They asked her "Could you go check?" She was nice and obliging and checked, and I was naturally oblivious to the world in bed. Never did find out who told the police I was a barely pubescent vandal/rascal.

22:08 If his finger was on the trigger, he either had really bad training or was planning on shooting you. From what I was told, you only put your finger on the trigger if you are going to destroy what you are pointing at. Otherwise, it should be outside the trigger guard, resting on the slide or other safe place.

So I watch the channel Audit the Audit, which goes over 'police interactions' and isn't anti police (but started out more so, but the had a change of people and will now praise good cops for doing the right thing and call out dickheads). 11:45 (and a few other comments about people who like cops but now not liking them) reminds me of two videos: One where a cop is screaming in a 16 year olds face and being all "take a swing take a swing" then "why do you hate cops so much?" Without getting HE was why the kid hated cops so much. Another where a guy, as he is walking back to his car, says to the cop "cops like you are why cops get killed." Which was an ironic comment as the cop had already handcuffed the guy, put him in the back of the police car, let him go, accused him of being a wife beater, and lied about the speed the guys wife was driving...... without searching the guy and finding his consealed carry.

I was being prosecuted for not refunding a hundred dollars. I showed I had attemped to refund but they wouldn't provide an address.

When cops have immunity, they act with impunity.

Why is it that the only 'good' stories here are from the UK. What is it with cops form the US.

I got in a car crash on the freeway going 75mph, it was dark out and I hit a cement barrier because I didn’t see the curve in the road. I was using my NAV to find my way to my destination and it had said my exit was coming up so I was checking to see the number. Anyway, I crashed my car and passed out on impact; I came to and got out of the car for a second very confused as to where I was, I got back into my car because I was dizzy and I passed out again. When I came to the second time, there was a cop pulling me out of my car. Again, I was very confused, he asked me if I was ok and I said, “I think so.” He did a sobriety test on me that I ended up failing, so I went to jail. They made me blow a breathalyzer yeah? I kept blowing a 0.0 so they said I wasn’t blowing hard enough and was being uncooperative. I got out of jail three days later and ended up going to the hospital where they discovered I had a severe concussion. I got arrested and thrown in jail for 3 days because I had a concussion! Like, instead of getting an AID car and having me checked out for injuries, this cop decided to perform sobriety tests on me! I tried to tell them I hadn’t been drinking that night. In fact, I at the time I had been driving to my bfs moms house to meet her for the first time. Smh The charges were dropped by the way, like, firstly, I had the medical papers to prove I had a concussion, but secondly, I had a bruise on my forehead in the shape of the steering wheel from where my head hit it

Holy shit the ending is actually broken ahahahahahaa

5:15 my bro is diabetic.... I'm fucking livid with this one, that they don't even do basic medical checks on time. And, of course, most of the rest.

The cops that arrested the people moving. That is a lawsuit that is beyond easily winnable against the cops that held the people for so long Key to the house, id saying they live(d) there, moving truck, everything packed neatly in boxes, house cleaned out, not nervous at all(i'd hope) Story shortly after that, the cop that put a gun to the guys face just cause he turned. I would have taken that straight to the top of the country

damm i would absolutely frick out if someone press for my pulse.

It's funny how many times have been pulled over for a license plate laid out a tail light out that never happened cuz I always check my vehicle before I left. Well they usually end up finding a small bag of weed on me. It's kind of funny how they wouldn't charge me they would just take it and let me go. It's like I was finding their weed habit. The only time I got charged is when he had somebody else with him. Other than that I would get pulled over three times to four times a week. For 3 years in a row. Until I got a lawyer and got the cop kicked out of this area

You'll laugh at this first paragraph: I'm 71(M), my _life partner_ is 39(F). She's been a 'working girl' for many years and regaled me of many things she's done for 'punters'. She's surprised that these tales haven't turned me on when other BF's have become excited. Am I deluded, or what? lately she's accused me of sexual assault, as though I couldn't just ask her to be intimate with me, but haven't. She later refused to give the police the information that they needed to press charges, so I spent a night in a cell (without my clothes for _forensic testing_ ) for nothing. Now she's repeated the same crap, but at a different time and a different way (with an alleged witness, her sister)! All based on me borrowing some of her money (paid into MY bank account) for 2 days. How far it may go I cannot say, as she's currently in hospital with what looks like sepsis. I've had it and nearly died. So has she, but not less than 3 times! I can never admit to something I haven't done, but she's making it hard to not call her a liar, should it ever come to court. Believe what you want; only she and I know what I the truth is. I may update this later from my study or from my prison cell. Keep 'tuned in' to find out which. I would, and may have to, die for her.

3:30 you should sue them for all the money they have

I wasn't arrested, but the cops stopped me on the way home from a friend's house & informed me that they had a report of some kids egging houses in the neighborhood. I told them I had been at my friend's house for the past few hours but of course they didn't believe me. So they ask for my ID, which I gave to them & they looked at it for approximately 2.3 secs. before practically shoving it back in my hands & telling me to watch myself & leaving hastily. Come to find out, it was MY house that was getting egged. Insert NWA song here.

I love that people who think power is inherently evil try to get power & act worse that the people they are complaining about.

So many cases where the police didn't do their due diligence... Any cop guilty of this should be punished severely!

I've had an experience and heard of others where the police are pretty much "we have this thing we need to close and we're gonna just pin it on you because you happen to know person x or y and we can close the case"

I'm going to preface this by saying that _not all cops are bad!_ Technically it wasn't a false arrest (I got Karen'd). I was slowly walking up to an officer, smile on my face, hands full so I was unable to fight or anything. I'm 4' 11" and barely 100lbs. I legit got grabbed and thrown to the ground without a word. I would have gladly done whatever they wanted if they had just said something. Three large cops literally threw me down on hot asphalt in the Arizona summer. They kept saying "stop resisting" while I'm being burned on the ground and strangled by my purse strap. It was such a mess and so unnecessary. My neighbors were freaking out because they know me and couldn't figure out why I was being arrested. Everyone there always comes to me with sick, injured or abandoned kitties. My mom and I care for them until they are ready to be adopted. None of them could understand why I was arrested, especially after seeing me jumped by three cops. It was a a shit show. What none of us can figure out is why Karen has been allowed to stay there after all the crap she's pulled with _everyone_ around her. BTW, fuck you Yardz on Kolb in Tucson Az at 22nd and Kolb. Y'all are running a slum but charging $900 for a one room apartment in one of the cheapest places to live. Yeah, I'm bitter. We lived with mold for three years and no one would listen when we said something. Suck it you oxygen thieves.

I’m glad I have never had a cop like any of these

Not me, but my uncle picked up a hitchhiker. Later the Woman panicked and thought maybe she shouldn't have got in the car. Some sort of shuffle in the car caused my uncle to go over a double yellow line by accident while driving. A cop saw him pulled him over. The woman jumped out of the car all scared. My uncle got arrested. Of the total details I was never told but he got sentenced for 12 years but got out in 6. Stupid thing was the county was more excited to get a white guy convicted in jail for better stats than to serve actual Justice.

First story is one where op later on and told his parents this is why I need a car or you should let me borrow the car and not just "it's close you can walk."

I was falsely accused, but thank God for video surveillance. It showed I wasn't there when they when the claims were made against me. I was properly released, and the charges were dropped. Unfortunately they still show up on my record from time to time, the pachar jessore so old that can't be used against me, for hiring. When I do ask, I simply say I was wrongly arrested, and the charges were dropped with evidence. And that's all they need to hear. Luckily my best paying job doesn't care about my arrest record. And I couldn't be healthier with my current job. At least in a few years, it shouldn't show up on my record anymore.

Most get out by "doing their time"

Honestly police should think first, act later

Not arrested but considering what i was accused of. I should have been! One day... a Monday one of our local cops phoned me and demanded i turn up at the station. At once! "Can it not wait until i'm done for the day?" "NO! It's a serious allegation." "Right now!" "You got 5 minutes!" It turns out that my wacky neighbor accused me for trying to kill him. Trying to run him over by snowmobile! He had been trying to stop me from riding on public land by planting himself in the middle of the trail. Well! A snowmobile isn't hindered by snow so i passed him on the untouched pristine snow outside the trail.... not by far but! Not touching him. My interrigation started with very stern looks and ended in laughter

If the person's accused of rape and is a male, he isn't going to get out

This shit boils my fucking blood. The justice system is a joke. It's far worse than even this video portrays, on every conceivable level, but hearing stories straight from victims just drives it home. EDIT FOR ADDITION: if ya'll REALLY want get mad/horrified at the USA's justice system/police, look into civil forfeiture. The police can basically press charges against inanimate objects, like cash or cars or houses, for supposedly being related to/used in a crime, and they can just.... take that object as their own. Doesn't have to be a proven crime or anything, and no evidence is needed. They can literally just see you with a wad of cash, doing absolutely nothing, and be like "i think you are going use that for drugs, this cash is mine now", take your cash, and then use that cash to buy themselves liquor. I am not kidding.

normally i dont advocate vigilantism in any form. but the story at 5:11. i totally would have understood if some cops, and judges got their houses burnt down......

the writer's story was the best..."No sense giving Dad another heart attack." rofl

4:20 Justice is blind. Justice must be blind. We cannot view all cases as a whole of a system, each case must be taken by itself.

Sadly, most of the time the police are not making a mistake, they know that an innocent person is getting set up.

I had an ex-gf who spoofed my number in her phone (text/sms) but the tech was new at the time to spoof a number. It sent, in addition to her spoofed text an advert of the site used to spoof the number. I was written a citation to appear in court in the county that I lived in. (She lived in a different county.) When my court case came up she didn't show and the case was dismissed with prejudice. She must have done it a second time and then contacted the police in her county of residence. The case hadn't been disposed in her county and an arrest warrant was issued. The arrest warrant was then forwarded to my county of residence and was arrested and held for that county. It took a day or two to get transported to the other county and had snowed pretty good which closed the courts for a few more days. It took a week or so and a weekend to finally see a judge in her county at this point just to have the judges staff call my county and verify that she hadn't originally showed up to the original case and verify it was dismissed and I was cut loose. Pretty common behavior for my ex.

When I was a kid my brother, who was in the navy, went awol with some girl. He was in California. Navy police show up to our house in Brooklyn, and pull my other brother (a year younger and a minor) out of bed and arrested him. Took 2 days to get things straight, luckily he was identified as not being the guy they were looking for at the airport.

These stories show you how some police officers handle it, if they are in the wrong. They charge people with absurd small things to justify their actions. These charges are small, just so that the victims do not fight in court, because lawyers cost money.

The ending tho😂

10:38 talk about luck of the irish i mean us irish get lucky alot wonder why?

my 9mm semiautomatic pistol had the same serial number as a stolen. 38 special revolver, spent 45 minutes in the back of a cruiser while my city cops were on the phone with Detroit PD since the stolen gun was from Detroit (i live in Alabama)

I got pulled over twice in one night drunk the first time and definitely drunk the second time and someone got away with both of them. Somehow fooled two different cops in one night. And the second time was a block from the bar we left and 2:30 in the morning. Anyways I’m almost 3 years sober and though I deserved to get a dui that night I am so beyond thankful I didn’t get one because I don’t think I would have pulled myself back out of the court system. Before that I was in trouble here and there got 2 duis at 19. Also didn’t like to go to court. On one of those duis I went before the judge and she listed off all kinds of shit like assault on a officer and resisting arrest and dui. I about shit my pants I was only there for dui. Turns out my older cousin was in jail at the same time and they mixed our paperwork up. But got figured out after about an hour. Scary still. One more thing how many of these people are white lol sounds like quite a few of them. Not only black or brown get fucked with.

I was with my little brother we were both at a local mall just walking and buying a few things when were stopped by mall security (if you ask me a rent, a cop that needs to get off his high horse) we were taken to the security office because they think we stole something from Spencer which really pissed me off cuz this was 3 weeks after i had graduated from police academy yeah that was a fun conversation to have with local pd

False arrest false arrest

This is your reminder that the cops deserve no respect and that you should tell them nothing. The medics and the fire department are ok, though.

12:00 How ironic.

I've had my injustices at the hand of the ones sworn to uphold the law. As l get older and have less and less to lose l fear one day l will seek revenge.

I got two. Well, the first one is me. And I wasn't technically arrested. I was at my Uncle's shop dropping off our garbage bag for the week (tuesday night drop off, wednesday morning pickup). My uncle doesn't technically live in town, he lives in the next city over; however, he lets us and his daughter who is also in town use his garbage can so we don't have to pay for our own. This has been going on for a few years now. Anyway, one night it was about 11:30 as I'd gotten home late and my mom reminded me it was garbage night. So I took the bag up to the shop and as I was rolling the can to the curb, I see a dark SUV with neon headlights drive by and stop, pull a U-turn, and come into the lot. I'm thinking great, it's some lost tourist or tweaker. Nope; county sheriff. Wants to know what I was doing there. I just say 'taking out the trash'. He repeats it back to me kinda slowly and suspiciously, as if the 20lb bag of cat litter I was carrying was shaped like a human corpse. He runs my ID and I wait patiently in my truck. He comes back and just starts rambling on and on, trying to justify this stop, because he drives by this shop every day and has *never* seen anyone here before (which is bs because my Uncle ran his business out of that shop for 20+ years) and how he thought I was illegally dumping my trash in someone else's can. I explain everything above and he has me call my uncle. Of course, he doesn't answer, so I give the officer my uncle's number and he says "I'm going to call in the morning, you'll hear from me." Never heard from him. Asked my uncle a week later and he said he was still waiting for that phone call. lol The other happened to a close friend of mine. He was hitch hiking back in his early 20's and 30's and was out in Nevada somewhere (I think?). He had gotten a ride from a guy but the guy told him he was going too far out of his way and needed to drop my buddy off. Didn't do it on the off ramp a few hundred feet ahead, no. Just dumped him on the side of the road and took off. So my buddy starts walking to the off ramp and a police officer pulls over and stops him. Tells him that hitch hiking is illegal on the freeway. Great, says my buddy. "I'm not hitch hiking, I'm walking to the off ramp". Cop goes full power trip and arrests my buddy for hitch hiking on the interstate. Takes him in, they throw him in a cell, they rifle through his backpack and take all his money ($300+). He said that night a couple of them came into the cell and beat the ever loving crap out of him. The next day he was taken before a judge, who asked why he was covered in bruises. When he told the judge what happened, he was threatened with perjury and given a fine for hitch hiking. The arresting officer then took him out of town and told him if they ever saw him in that town again, he'd be arrested on the spot and thrown in jail. He's never gone back there and has no desire to see if they're going to uphold their word or not.

Sick beat at the video’s end

32:25 So ominous

Yeah no, sue the police department for both of the crimes they charged you with, and the fact that you were denied a public defender is unconstitutional. So again sue

Pigs... Pigs everywhere...

Don't ever try to report crimes dirty cops are involved in, especially in Contra Costa county... 👮🏽‍♂️👮🏻‍♂️💩💩

Sue hard people

I f-ing hate tomatoes.

All people are in jail wasting tax payer’s money

This video is the epitome of that one song by NWA that shall not be named

The guy at 5:30 I hope he sued the fuck out of them...
