James, are you going to respond to NNH's claims about the Leon valley stuff? He insinuates that you are a government agent. I find that unlikely, but I've been wrong before.
I thought about the very news story you mentioned when they said they didn't have complaint forms. It's years old that piece, and they still continue to do it.
OK, riddle me this. Desk sergeant gives auditor a complaint form and he fills it out and turns it in and it's stamped. As chief of police I read the report, then call in officer John Doe for a conversation that goes like this. Hey John come on in my office for a second, but let's get a cup of coffee first. How's the wife and kids, hope everything is OK. By the way, one of those first amendment assholes with cameras came by and was taking all sorts of videos of our cars, and one of the poor babies got his feelings hurt and filed a complaint against you. Look, I hate those assholes as much as you do, but try to be nice next time. We don't want to get them upset again, but they hate all cops to begin with. We cool? Great, have a nice tour and we're done with this matter at this point. So I email the auditor that he was councilled and that the books are closed on this complaint. If the auditor tries to pursue the matter, well that goes straight to the shredder.

This is an area in which they have to bag their limit. It has to be shown that it is a pattern or practice. If multiple instances of this occur, the State Supreme Court will deal with the attorney, and the Governor will deal with the Mayor. That said, this guy has a recording of the city attorney telling him that HE will not get a response. That might be actionable.
@@al1383 Worst case for the attorney would be disbarment and recommendation for criminal charges. Best case would be a finding that the claims were unsubstantiated.

It's easy for grown ups to back the blue, because we can visualize America without the guys in blue. Perhaps we can start carrying a .45 single action Colt in a holster on our hips. You anarchist think you're so smart, but you have no vision.
Their official title is "The Blue Line of Terrorists" which I'm told "The public has no power over them, they have a delusion that we work for them, they pay my salary. That is false, we are paid by the "Corporate Police Authority" and not by the insignificant public. They need to be educated". I searched for this entity and find no results. These blue terrorists are the definition of an organized gang. Complete with their own gang sign patch sewn on their vests or sleeves, baseball caps, key chains and bumper stickers seen on their personal vehicles. The head terrorists spokesperson added "members are now required to be tattooed with the sign". I did find an article from 1973 Democrat Senator admitting that each LE Dept is a private corporation. Due to the fact that there is only 2 official and legal types of of LE recognized in the US as the "only" LE....... Sheriff's and Marshalls. For a corporation to have contact with public citizens on a daily basis, there is certain requirements that must be met 1) Depending on the objective of the Corp each employee must acquire and attend a 6 week course of training(list of courses are provided in handbook. Only 2 courses are required from the 10listed). 2) A criminal and background check. ??????????? 1course seems to be a favorite, combative moves!!!!! The second is tactics used to gain entry/search. A successful traffic stop. Manipulation and intimidation technics. There is very little information provided if this is true, however a retired former Corp CEO admitted, off record, it is a legitimate private and highly respected organization founded in the UK in the late 1800s, paid with 90% tax dollars and 10% private donations.
Yea, when you come home from work and your wife has been shot and your kids kidnapped, just be sure and find the local frauditor to take care of your case.
"That's not the way it works..." Somebody doesn't know what the word 'free' means. Freedom to do something logically entails the freedom not to do it, in exactly the same way that freedom of speech and the right to remain silent are two sides of the same coin. The captain is talking crap. The custodian of records - the person LEGALLY responsible for dealing with such requests, is an admin level position, not that of a chief. Pure deflection.
Yet the police win. This is the land of the freemasons, not land of the free. We have no freedom. If you were free, you could catch a fish to eat it without paying for a permit. There's a reason the "stars" are above that "thin blue line". As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. The FIRMAMENT separates the "waters above" from the "waters below". Revelation 17:15 tells you, the waters, where the PROSTITUTE sits, stands for people. We must STAND UP to tyranny.
Don't blame the victims. These are narcissist psychopaths that, through their inherent nepotism, have infested this city. Anyone who has been trying to get justice and a measure of change has been met by what you saw here. People have to learn about the mental illness that misguides these people, their tactics and diagnostic displays, how there is no cure or treatment in adulthood and how the disease is transmitted via attachment-system trauma in childhood. From there, we can start to make the world a better place. Narcissism is unsustainable and the longer we take to fight the infestations the harder it will become as they persistently attack our rights, freedoms, happiness, health and prosperity while embezzling tax payers in every way possible.
I'm very grateful to the people that follow through on their First Amendmant audits with legal action. The cops usually get away with just blowing off the complaints of the citizens way too easy.
“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” Thomas Sowell
It's not what you say but how you say it. James, thank you for pointing out that nothing the officers were doing was illegal, but the way they made the requests would leave anyone with the assumption that they were speaking from a place of legal authority. This is why public education is so important. You did a great job of pointing that out.
Sounds like another lawsuit is needed to force their hand to create forms and an official process, even if that comes about as part of a settlement. He should hit them up for every delayed FOIL request until the changes are made.
This was one of the best audits and follow up stories I have viewed regarding first amendment audits. Please continue the process until the Dunkirk police amend their ways.
Asking for ID is straight up RUDE because it insinuates the person has done something wrong, then comes the Database Abuse for running ID without a crime or probable cause.
So your car is parked in a post office parking space, and you come out and see some fool with a camera filming the inside of the car. You wouldn't be pissed?
@@oldgoatgxp guess what - there’s cameras in the parking lot. There’s cameras inside the building. There’s literally cameras everywhere you go. You have zero expectation of privacy in public. If you have a problem with it , live off the grid. Why are cops so scared of cameras?
@@karinaz8756 I don''t answer questions. I could tell you the difference between a permanently mounted camera and some numbnuts walking right up to you and takes your video, then starts to verbally harass you, but I don't answer questions. Lastly, are you detaining me? Am I free to move on to other videos? If I'm free to go, then I'm free to stay.
@@nickr3441 Because most people don't want to accept reality: That a corrupt tree cannot produce good fruit, and Law enforcement is rooted in a giant corrupt tree. It's easier for most to think there's a magical exception to this rule, instead of accepting that nearly all Police agencies are corrupt.
Questions: * Is there a city employee complaint form? * Are the city police considered city employees? * Can a city employee complaint form be used to file a complaint against a city police officer?
Great job on the investigative journalism. James is a great narrator when it comes to these stories. Thank you both for exposing bad policing everywhere. I learn something new every time i watch one of your videos, big thumbs up.
These police departments are terrorist organization terrorizing citizens across the country. They lack any forms of transparency and credibility to protect and serve citizens. They are terroristic rouge jackboot lawlessness organizations sponsored by the local, states and federal politicians. THEY ARE REFUSING TO INTERJECT THE SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTABILITY IN THEIR TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. They are always looking to CRIMINALIZE, INCARCERATE, TERRORIZE, EXTORT AND MURDER CITIZENS. What a joke.... BLAME THE POLITICIANS AND THE RACIST JACKBOOT KANGAROO LEGAL SYSTEM FOR CREATING THIS SITUATION. Every american should be OUTRAGED by the behaviour of these police departments across the country.
This is how much they think this guy will take to get off their backs. $750.00 measely dollers. Its a complete insult to the public, and people still support these guys. I am from Scotland and its the exact same here. No Transparency! In England a Cop used the Co**d Laws to abduct , sexually assault and murder a girl walking down the street. The mad thing about it is, his colleagues had a nick name for him before he commited the crime. "The Rapist"! Can you actually believe that. Terrifying and disgusting, but just goes to show how much these cops will keep to themselves. Its us against them Attitude. Wish James would do a piece on this case. We need a James Freeman over here.
This is absolutely outrageous and hearing the conclusion so far is sickening. This needs more spotlight and hope more people get to view this and see through the words they say and see the true intent from this department. God bless and have a wonderful day whoever sees this.
Someone needs to dig up that departments skeletons and shine a light on them, they seem to try too hard avoiding any complaints whatsoever, very suspect. Great work, shame the so-called police department ain't as upstanding as the auditor.
In Missouri, a willful failure to respond to a FOIA request makes the department subject to both attorney fees and a fine. And courts typically award both. Does NY not have similar provisions?
Through these years of being gang stalked by corrupt government, these videos are a bright spot in my life. They give me so much hell day after day and its nice to see them getting some of it back.
As a citizen I am intimidated to go and file an officer complaint, simply by them blocking the sidewalk and the one-way mirror will definitely do it, I’m afraid to get arrested. Should I say thank you to this or can I get my taxpayer money back.
You watched this one video, I think you're ready. Now go and do it, please be sure to let us know how well it worked out for you. No need to study up on laws, no need to view other videos. Just have a set of balls start harassing the cops.
If that little shit hole of a town wants to play games, we the people can play games too, but in a federal court room, where Dunkirk is the defendant. Thanks again James.
Officer: Unless you have a police problem you can't be here... Me: I HAVE a police problem. You are trying to violate my rights to record what ever I can see in public and my public officials. That's a police problem.
this is why we need to defund police... remove them... rehire with proper training with no union... and a way to be accountable to the people.... this is why I never list to police.... and we also need to hold judges accountable also
The operation of defunding the police is to make it more centralized and controlled by globalists. Do you want the UN enforcing UN dictates in your township?
Oh, They ARE accountable to the people. Usually, the people are not willing to pay the price to hold them accountable. life in prison is usually what you get when you show a member of the "blue line gang" that you will not put up with their sh!t.
@@stephengreen3566 ok who loses money .. we the people do... who hardly pays for they do ... the police who do wrong... speedy trails for us... long dragged out for them... so where is the accountable of it... when police dept. refuse to accept facts... I don't take wooden nickles
Absolutely epic reporting and fortitude of the reporter. This many has been dismissed at every level and keeps coming back again and again to show just how utterly stupid and useless these criminal gang members are to the public. To think for so many years I used to openly celebrate police at just about every turn. I can't count how many times I pulled a police officer aside out in public to tell them how much I appreciated their work to keep the public safe. Man was I ever blind! Overturn Terry v. Ohio (Delete Lawz - UA-cam) Abolish Qualified Immunity not just with police but Prosecutors (like this one) and Judges. Just taking these two tools away from these corrupt money launderers will have a demonstrable impact within days. Turn the tables!
They don’t protect, they don’t serve, they don’t “help” the community. They ruin people’s lives. Over petty frivolous nonsense. And act as road pirates, shaking down law abiding citizens and taxing them for made up offenses. I can’t stand them.
WOW!! The profound arrogance of this Police Department and members of this city government is beyond belief! My wish is that auditors from around the country swarmed this city for years to come.
I would like to create an app with a map of the country with pins that connect to a database that identifies these tyrants and identifies the upstanding ones too, so that we'll all be able to actually see it in real time, countrywide.
@@lakegeneva1068 Yeah! Such a good idea. If you somehow get that app made, no doubt it would go viral. It would be so powerful. It would affect tourism and the economies of entire regions.
@@handlesR4TrackingU By using various types of icons as pins, all of the good, the bad, and the ugly will be able to be looked at all at once, zoomed in or out, while the data is continually being updated. I have never made an app but think it's a great idea.
Is that pencil neck's PERSONAL name on that police car? Did he pay the note on that car? Does he pay for the title, license plates, and insurance. I'll bet all the answers to those questions is no. So, where does he come off saying that's his car?
Absolutely unforgivable, get rid of the entire department, including the city attorney and the Mayor. The FBI should be involved and the Court should issue warrants.
This style of auditing brings much needed awareness of how the police really operate. Hopefully some “ hero worshiping “ eyes will be opened to reality. Maybe one day the police and government will not be able to commit crimes without consequence.
*Always get a copy with the date stamp of day received on records requests submitted to ensure you retain certified proof of the submitted request in your possession.*
What a bunch of freaking clowns 🤡 Get on these tyrants!!! I appreciate all the work you put in to this matter! 🙏🏼 Need to audit these tyrants again and again til they figure out how things work!
Missed the part where he went back to court for his attorney fees, and the judge sides with the city when they claimed they withheld records for the "fake" investigation. Unbelievable the city used a false investigation in a courtroom to claim no wrong doing and got away with it....
@ Aaron Walker, I think everything should be sent certified mail so someone has to sign for it, that was it creates evidence, once people are named, and the full law is behind the action, everything from that point on is them creating evidence for you. They create evidence for you, not the other way around where you are providing them with information. All court cases are won before you show up to court, then if the court violates the law, the entire system is then liable for damages. These guys must get the law to work against itself because every one of these cops and judges want nothing to do with justice, The system is a legal system, most people think it is about justice, it is not, it is a legal system. To the cops justice means "Just Us" , you don't count.
Badge 63 is a memorial to Matthew Hazelton, K-9 officer for Dunkirk. His death was not in the line of duty. He had ALS. He was honored as being the "highest producing officer"... meaning he arrested the most people. Think about that... you are honored for putting the most human beings in cages. How about honoring cops that help their communities instead? Just a thought.
Well thats one way of helping the communities by putting bad people away. That is also best way the police can help the community. What do you think they should be doing if not their jobs. Smh
@@lc1102you are assuming everyone that was arrested was guilty and that alone is a huge mistake have you learned that police make illegal arrests all the time
This is unbelievable! But at the same time, believable. They are breaking laws but don't care and getting away with it, so obviously they'll keep doing it
Great point. Crime would probably go down because the people would appreciate the transparency and be on their side. I've heard that cops don't want crime to go down because then they can't justify their jobs. If that's true they would probably rather see crime go up. More crime means a bigger budget, more influence, and more power.
Probably one of the most corrupt and criminal police stations I have ever seen, the people of this community pay these criminals way to much for so little respect. It seems to go up to the top, from mayor on down. If a honest person wants to run against them I would donate!
Really?! Visit Newport Kentucky! They tried to play me for a patsy after one of their own shot and killed a fellow officer. When they found out my alibi checked out, they went after another guy, only to be exonerated when his gun didn't have a firing pin. It was THEN UNCOVERED the killer was another cop on the same department.
@@randyallen4959 - I wouldn't be surprised, if the officer that was killed, was a good cop (who had filed a complaint against another officer). Though it's incredibly rare, I think criminal retaliation is much more common/ likely.
@@randyallen4959 now they usually have a body cam. I saw a video last week where the cops goes freeze bang bang bang then you hear aaaagghhh! The cops says got him! Then he tells another cop later on that he thinks he shot his partner in the leg and laughs about it
Awesome work by all involved in exposing the blatant corruption. If they dont take complaints, they must appear to be doing fantastic work but are in fact just really BENT. Morrisroe sounds like sn absolute tyrant as well, what hope do residents have ? Zero it seems at present. Time for change.
I think you should draw up a complaint form with the city/department letterhead with a form number based on how they label their official forms and give it to the city.

By helping him it will go a little easier to abuse, harass and victimized you.

Great job by exposing these corrupt tyrants.
It's amazing how people can still "Back the blue" when they behave like this time and time again.
It's easy for grown ups to back the blue, because we can visualize America without the guys in blue. Perhaps we can start carrying a .45 single action Colt in a holster on our hips. You anarchist think you're so smart, but you have no vision.
This is a democratic state.. I wouldn’t back them.. I’ll back Florida’s police though... lol republicans ftw
You're logic is flawed, typical demorat. I've seen many black people rob, are they all robbers?
Their official title is "The Blue Line of Terrorists" which I'm told "The public has no power over them, they have a delusion that we work for them, they pay my salary. That is false, we are paid by the "Corporate Police Authority" and not by the insignificant public. They need to be educated".
I searched for this entity and find no results. These blue terrorists are the definition of an organized gang. Complete with their own gang sign patch sewn on their vests or sleeves, baseball caps, key chains and bumper stickers seen on their personal vehicles. The head terrorists spokesperson added "members are now required to be tattooed with the sign".
I did find an article from 1973 Democrat Senator admitting that each LE Dept is a private corporation. Due to the fact that there is only 2 official and legal types of of LE recognized in the US as the "only" LE....... Sheriff's and Marshalls.
For a corporation to have contact with public citizens on a daily basis, there is certain requirements that must be met 1) Depending on the objective of the Corp each employee must acquire and attend a 6 week course of training(list of courses are provided in handbook. Only 2 courses are required from the 10listed). 2) A criminal and background check. ???????????
1course seems to be a favorite, combative moves!!!!! The second is tactics used to gain entry/search. A successful traffic stop. Manipulation and intimidation technics.
There is very little information provided if this is true, however a retired former Corp CEO admitted, off record, it is a legitimate private and highly respected organization founded in the UK in the late 1800s, paid with 90% tax dollars and 10% private donations.
@@claytonwhitelaw4200 Florida's police are even worse tyrants hahaha
Why hasn't the FBI been called to have this investigated?
They investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong. They don't care about you or your safety, it's about revenue.
Because half the stuff they do that's illegal is on federal instructions.
The FBI is authoritarian, corrupt and anti-American. They can’t be depended on.
Yes, a very tedious process was undertaken to leave no stone unturned to investigate the situation on this video. UNFOUNDED-
We'll do so
Completely disgusting how this happened 1-2 years ago and we’re just now hearing about this !!! Stay safe and keep doing the People’s work James !!!
that's cos you don't pay attention, It came around when it first happened.
Thanks for this. It makes civilians not want to trust law enforcement at all.
who does?
You shouldn’t trust law enforcement there are a lot of sick individuals hiding behind the badge 🤨
You shouldn’t trust them at any time. You can tell a cop is lying if he’s still breathing.
Yea, when you come home from work and your wife has been shot and your kids kidnapped, just be sure and find the local frauditor to take care of your case.
And you shouldn’t ever. The police are allowed to lie to the public in hopes of the cops getting something out of them. It’s disgusting
"That's not the way it works..."
Somebody doesn't know what the word 'free' means. Freedom to do something logically entails the freedom not to do it, in exactly the same way that freedom of speech and the right to remain silent are two sides of the same coin.
The captain is talking crap. The custodian of records - the person LEGALLY responsible for dealing with such requests, is an admin level position, not that of a chief. Pure deflection.
In a free society if something isn't expressly forbidden, it's considered legal
Unsub Press, Yeah, we do understand. Do we understand that cops work for the government to keep us quiet, obedient, submissive...?
That's now how it works on his fragile ego.
Yet the police win. This is the land of the freemasons, not land of the free. We have no freedom. If you were free, you could catch a fish to eat it without paying for a permit.
There's a reason the "stars" are above that "thin blue line".
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. The FIRMAMENT separates the "waters above" from the "waters below". Revelation 17:15 tells you, the waters, where the PROSTITUTE sits, stands for people. We must STAND UP to tyranny.
You have balls of steel buddy. Good on you.
And thanks for the education.
This department is absolutely despicable. Now the whole country knows it and knows how corrupt it is.
The reason evil like this persists, is that people are so neutered and inept.
People have been bullied by cops for decades....yes, terrified we are.
@@garysmith7760 Speak for yourself.
Don't blame the victims. These are narcissist psychopaths that, through their inherent nepotism, have infested this city. Anyone who has been trying to get justice and a measure of change has been met by what you saw here.
People have to learn about the mental illness that misguides these people, their tactics and diagnostic displays, how there is no cure or treatment in adulthood and how the disease is transmitted via attachment-system trauma in childhood. From there, we can start to make the world a better place. Narcissism is unsustainable and the longer we take to fight the infestations the harder it will become as they persistently attack our rights, freedoms, happiness, health and prosperity while embezzling tax payers in every way possible.

Absolutely incredible job putting this video together.
You've got balls man. How many people would fold under Cop questions and destain for the public. How can people trust blatant lies.
I'm very grateful to the people that follow through on their First Amendmant audits with legal action. The cops usually get away with just blowing off the complaints of the citizens way too easy.
The contempt they have for the public is astounding.
That's cops for you! America, the land of the fee, the home of the slave.
Thank you AEC and you James for standing up and speaking out abou this tyranny.

It's not what you say but how you say it. James, thank you for pointing out that nothing the officers were doing was illegal, but the way they made the requests would leave anyone with the assumption that they were speaking from a place of legal authority. This is why public education is so important. You did a great job of pointing that out.
Sounds like another lawsuit is needed to force their hand to create forms and an official process, even if that comes about as part of a settlement. He should hit them up for every delayed FOIL request until the changes are made.
That's FOIA...freedom of information act.

Thanks for the share and covering of this Dunkirk city CORRUPTION!
Just called to ask about complaint forms, “yes sir both online and in person”. Nicely done!
That is a great investigative story and I commend you for your persistence.
The desk sergeant fumbled his words badly when confronted. He didn't expect someone to call out his bullshyte.
This was one of the best audits and follow up stories I have viewed regarding first amendment audits. Please continue the process until the Dunkirk police amend their ways.
"It is unreasonable to expect a known corrupt law enforcement department to uphold your legal rights.”

That is one police department that needs to be de-nazified.
Who could be part of a system like this and look at themselves in the mirror and not be ashamed.
drunks, bullies, psycho's, you know, your average cop.
Exactly. They really think what they are doing is good.
Easy the Cops!
They don't care until you are blue in the face.

So your car is parked in a post office parking space, and you come out and see some fool with a camera filming the inside of the car. You wouldn't be pissed?
At the same token, if I'm on a jury and someone pleads the 5th, that will imply to me he has something to hide.
@@oldgoatgxp guess what - there’s cameras in the parking lot. There’s cameras inside the building. There’s literally cameras everywhere you go. You have zero expectation of privacy in public. If you have a problem with it , live off the grid. Why are cops so scared of cameras?
@@karinaz8756 I don''t answer questions. I could tell you the difference between a permanently mounted camera and some numbnuts walking right up to you and takes your video, then starts to verbally harass you, but I don't answer questions. Lastly, are you detaining me? Am I free to move on to other videos? If I'm free to go, then I'm free to stay.
A good cop knows the law, enforces the law and obeys the law.

Yes, call the corrupt government to investigate the corrupt government. That's a wonderful idea!
Why do people think the FBI are some sort of super hero?
@@nickr3441 Because most people don't want to accept reality: That a corrupt tree cannot produce good fruit, and Law enforcement is rooted in a giant corrupt tree. It's easier for most to think there's a magical exception to this rule, instead of accepting that nearly all Police agencies are corrupt.
The worst thing to happen to these tyrants is the people standing up to them and filming their crimes
Questions:
* Is there a city employee complaint form?
* Are the city police considered city employees?
* Can a city employee complaint form be used to file a complaint against a city police officer?
Novel approach I like it.👍
Great job on the investigative journalism. James is a great narrator when it comes to these stories. Thank you both for exposing bad policing everywhere. I learn something new every time i watch one of your videos, big thumbs up.
I’m so proud of Dan. He truly knows what his AEC fam means and he fought endlessly for what is right. Respectable guy.
Thank you! ❤️
These police departments are terrorist organization terrorizing citizens across the country. They lack any forms of transparency and credibility to protect and serve citizens. They are terroristic rouge jackboot lawlessness organizations sponsored by the local, states and federal politicians. THEY ARE REFUSING TO INTERJECT THE SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTABILITY IN THEIR TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. They are always looking to CRIMINALIZE, INCARCERATE, TERRORIZE, EXTORT AND MURDER CITIZENS.
What a joke.... BLAME THE POLITICIANS AND THE RACIST JACKBOOT KANGAROO LEGAL SYSTEM FOR CREATING THIS SITUATION. Every american should be OUTRAGED by the behaviour of these police departments across the country.
Hey Dan can you imagine these cops get paid to be stupid as Hell, and they are proudly showing it off. 😂😆🤣
You the man, James! YOU THE MAN!
Wow 😳 not even surprised. But how sickening. Offering money to stop recording and looking into them. Pathetic
This is how much they think this guy will take to get off their backs. $750.00 measely dollers. Its a complete insult to the public, and people still support these guys. I am from Scotland and its the exact same here. No Transparency! In England a Cop used the Co**d Laws to abduct , sexually assault and murder a girl walking down the street. The mad thing about it is, his colleagues had a nick name for him before he commited the crime. "The Rapist"! Can you actually believe that. Terrifying and disgusting, but just goes to show how much these cops will keep to themselves. Its us against them Attitude. Wish James would do a piece on this case. We need a James Freeman over here.
This is absolutely outrageous and hearing the conclusion so far is sickening. This needs more spotlight and hope more people get to view this and see through the words they say and see the true intent from this department. God bless and have a wonderful day whoever sees this.
Someone needs to dig up that departments skeletons and shine a light on them, they seem to try too hard avoiding any complaints whatsoever, very suspect.
Great work, shame the so-called police department ain't as upstanding as the auditor.
In Missouri, a willful failure to respond to a FOIA request makes the department subject to both attorney fees and a fine. And courts typically award both. Does NY not have similar provisions?
That was a great video Jame and hats off to AEC for his relentless work on seeking justice. Now I need to go and make sure Im subd to his channel!
I love the thoroughness of this investigation. Calling the attorneys bluff was priceless!! Keep it up!! ❤️
This is exactly why more and more people are turning against the police. It's gonna get bad

Denying a complaint form or officer's ID deprives a person of their first amendment right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
As a citizen I am intimidated to go and file an officer complaint, simply by them blocking the sidewalk and the one-way mirror will definitely do it, I’m afraid to get arrested. Should I say thank you to this or can I get my taxpayer money back.

If that little shit hole of a town wants to play games, we the people can play games too, but in a federal court room, where Dunkirk is the defendant.
Thanks again James.
I love this video because this is what we all need to do. Don't stop holding these city officials accountable. That's how we get change. Sue
Officer: Unless you have a police problem you can't be here... Me: I HAVE a police problem. You are trying to violate my rights to record what ever I can see in public and my public officials. That's a police problem.
this is why we need to defund police... remove them... rehire with proper training with no union... and a way to be accountable to the people.... this is why I never list to police.... and we also need to hold judges accountable also
hire folks right off the street with real people skills and no 'connections'
The operation of defunding the police is to make it more centralized and controlled by globalists. Do you want the UN enforcing UN dictates in your township?
@@darylfitz4189 are a q person ... only a q person would talk like that.... omg... you missed what I said thank you
Oh, They ARE accountable to the people. Usually, the people are not willing to pay the price to hold them accountable. life in prison is usually what you get when you show a member of the "blue line gang" that you will not put up with their sh!t.

Absolutely epic reporting and fortitude of the reporter. This many has been dismissed at every level and keeps coming back again and again to show just how utterly stupid and useless these criminal gang members are to the public. To think for so many years I used to openly celebrate police at just about every turn. I can't count how many times I pulled a police officer aside out in public to tell them how much I appreciated their work to keep the public safe.
Man was I ever blind!

There’s no law against taking a pic of a police car. Wow those tires are slick.

WOW!! The profound arrogance of this Police Department and members of this city government is beyond belief! My wish is that auditors from around the country swarmed this city for years to come.
I would like to create an app with a map of the country with pins that connect to a database that identifies these tyrants and identifies the upstanding ones too, so that we'll all be able to actually see it in real time, countrywide.

The city attorney belongs behind bars
@emilgunnary2548:FRREMAN BELONGS BEHIND BARS
Absolutely unforgivable, get rid of the entire department, including the city attorney and the Mayor. The FBI should be involved and the Court should issue warrants.
The same FBI agents that stage the kidnapping of a governor and criminalize lawful protestors at the Capitol, probably won't help.
The FBI is more corrupt than this police depth. So good luck with that.
This style of auditing brings much needed awareness of how the police really operate. Hopefully some “ hero worshiping “ eyes will be opened to reality. Maybe one day the police and government will not be able to commit crimes without consequence.
The corruption is just amazing.
It sounds like the Entire CITY belongs under an FBI investigation
He is making over hundred thousand a year how the fuck is anything above his pay grade? What does he need 20 or 30 thousand more?
Looks like the DOJ needs to get involved
Yep, send the corrupt injustice department to investigate the corrupt cops. That'll work!

@@ghettochicken8420 Or "expected."
@ Aaron Walker, I think everything should be sent certified mail so someone has to sign for it, that was it creates evidence, once people are named, and the full law is behind the action, everything from that point on is them creating evidence for you. They create evidence for you, not the other way around where you are providing them with information. All court cases are won before you show up to court, then if the court violates the law, the entire system is then liable for damages. These guys must get the law to work against itself because every one of these cops and judges want nothing to do with justice, The system is a legal system, most people think it is about justice, it is not, it is a legal system. To the cops justice means "Just Us" , you don't count.

Great point. Crime would probably go down because the people would appreciate the transparency and be on their side.
I've heard that cops don't want crime to go down because then they can't justify their jobs. If that's true they would probably rather see crime go up.
More crime means a bigger budget, more influence, and more power.
