Not taken to jail, sentence to death and sentence carried out for being a traitor to the constitution, the oath breakers that they are for over 27 years
It's amazing "these people" who go through 6 moths of training (which is not enough) to uphold laws(that they clearly don't know) think they're above it .They literally make shit up as things happen and most times actally wind up breaking the law while trying to enforce it. This is exactly why people don't trust police!
Not just "a cop", a lieutenant and a sergeant with 20 years, this is more than just a rookie making a mistake, these are supposed to be the people catching those mistakes.
The Supreme Court ruled _a reasonable misunderstanding of the law can satisfy constitutional requirements for searches and seizures._ Let Freedom Ring!!
@@lowernineswitch Even better. I don't expect them to memorize everything, every law. But knowing when someone does and doesn't have to identify seems pretty basic and fundamental to the job.
@@thecrazyisreal there's no justification for qualified immunity. Every cop needs to be held liable in both criminal and civil court for their actions when they cause harm and/or violate someone's rights. Prisons should be filled by the bad cops, not drug addicts.
Your kind only knows to oppress the civilians cuz they think they can't get in trouble and they never do. So why wouldn't they. I never trust a cop never, especially when they come up all friendly 😂😂😂goofy 🤪

the cherry on top was the legal counsel of the cops saying „objection, cause for speculation“ when Samanthas lawyer offered the cop a way out of implying a Judge in an illegal activity 😂
@@wbg6500 What's a lot? There are hundreds of thousands, so no, nobody talks to a lot of police officers if you look at it that way. Every officer I've ever met, dozens, have been happy to pretend their department policy is the law instead of simply department policy. That's a major issue. It's pervasive. Look at the officers in this video as an example. Tons of years of experience and they can't answer VERY basic questions about the law. What do they rely on? Department policy. You heard it yourself. That's called what? Believing the law is whatever they say it is. They genuinely believe their personal department policy is the law. They believe the law is whatever they say it is. It's an epidemic that is killing trust in police officers on a nationwide scale.
That’s because, generally speaking, the law is whatever they say it is. What exactly can an individual do if a cop pulls them over (let’s say for speeding), then decides to arrest them (for whatever reason), then holds them in the back of the car for a couple hours, then books them. Eventually, that person will probably be released, but there’s a lot of points in there that the cop can make ANYTHING up to justify wasting half your day, or possibly much longer. What can you really do about it? Really? What if they outright shoot you in the head after the stop. Sure, they will probably go to jail eventually, but you’re dead, and they may not go to jail at all. Now imagine this world without cameras (body cams and personal), cell phones, social media, and audio recordings. They are the law if they want to be and for every one that gets caught and punished accordingly, dozens don’t. I believe most cops are good, the vast majority, but boy can they get away with a ton if they want to (at least temporarily).
He doesn't know the Miranda rights. Watch a few episodes of Law and Order and Chicago PD and you know more about law then these two combined. 27 years as a cop and he doesn't know any law!!!!
Unbelievable. Were there no crimes in Cook County over the past 27 years? Hard to believe he never arrested anyone and that he doesn't know what the Miranda Rights are.
Yet me and everyone else I know all knew what Miranda rights were by the time we were in grade school. And haven't forgotten since. So essentially the average third grader is better educated on their rights than these "police" officers.
As someone who has never been an officer, I know the Miranda rights. Can I be promoted to the top of the local police department now? This is absolutely embarrassing. This entire department needs to be investigated.
Exactly! And not because the individual did anything wrong but because the inept and ignorant cops used unlawful orders and tactics to violate a law abiding citizen's rights! Everyone should be pissed that that is a common tactic (and it's way too common. just look at the recommended videos to the right of this one) that is employed by law enforcement.
I'm so admired with that video,I thought that American cops were so smart.im african from Mozambique we some time face the same situations.indeed their must know how the laws works and apply during their work.
I dont bel8ve him his ego is way above the rest and way he speaking to pink on camra o ya he down playing acting stupid so not to be charged but like they tell us ignrance of law is no excuse
To be totally truthful he has been a county sherif lieutenant during that timeframe. ie he is not arresting anyone, he is the one checking that when you goto court you pass through the metal detector without carrying a bazooka in with you. All of his actions were illegal and many in uniform feel that they are above the law. I just wouldn't want people to assume he was a police officer as he is not. Hopefully he gets fired and jailed for the 5 or more years he shuold get. As this is Cook County he most likely will be forced to retire but no actual jail time.
Every arrest, every case, every anything that these "officers" have had their hands in needs to be scrutinized, along with the department heads that gave them license to act in this manner with, what appears to be, no training and complete impunity. Truly disgusting!
Given that the Lt has apparently never arrested anyone in 27 years as a LEO, that should be a short list. Anyone cop that on every question of "is this obviously not legal thing legal?" answers "I don't know" should have their badge taken, because clearly they accidentally found it in a cerealbox.
@@BigT4preshow is that even possible? I mean "I don't know the law legally" but aren't you supposed to serve as an officer before becoming a Sargeant and a lutientant?
Im so disgusted that police officers are not required to know the law but are paid to enforce it. Doctors lawyers and judges all need certification and licenses to practice but Police officers dont have to, what a wonderful country
Imagine if you’re going into open heart surgery, and your surgeon openly states he doesn’t understand the anatomy of the human heart, and he’s been a surgeon for 22 years, but still doesn’t know how to properly make a patients incision to begin
@@Eriiikushthe doctor studied meticulously for many years, needed to pass brutal certification to get his licence to practice medicine and is on a whole different pay grade. Cops on average, do not do any of the above.
Technically, and this can vary a lot depending on where and what academy they go to for which law enforcement body, they are required to know the law and attend law classes. Especially officers in an administrative position.
@@1993gtx Well maybe the key to reform is that they should have to study the law for 22 years and get paid the same as a medical doctor. I would support that change. They may not hold the physical heart in their hands but they are directly responsible for the lives of people just the same.
“Are you familiar with the fourth amendment?” “Why do we always get the crazies” I’m so glad our law enforcement officers consider the bill of rights to be crazy.
To play devils advocate, usually the people spouting that are 'sovereign citizens' and are legit mental, in this case however that statement was egregious

@@John_Lee_exactly..we call that here "playing country dumb" I hope with the court of public opinion these garbage cops at least loose their jobs .. but hope they get charged with crimes...but I won't hold my breath ✌🍄👍
yeah it's really hard to imagine the frustration you would feel in that moment. These cops follow company policy and not the law. To be perfectly honest the law is subtle and yet incredibly complicated. It's why a patrol officer was never intended to have the same right of interpretation as a judge. We need police, but they don't get the best and brightest. You can't expect cops to know the law as well as a judge, so they should be stripped of like 90% of their investigative abilities. Any invocation of constitutional law should be a required call to a judge or their representative, not the decision of some redneck captain who couldn't understand half the language in the law they enforce. Even if you eventually get justice in court, the process of bail/jail/awaiting trial should be considered one of the most despicable things a citizen can experience.
Therein lies the answer as to whether or not they actually believe in the constitution they swore to uphold and proof that we are no longer a constitutional republic as was intended .and lastly that your tax dollars fund protection for the private sectors , elite and major corporations in this country. Do you really believe we are a nation of law and rules ? No , we are simply one massive commonwealth operating under corporate law. American citizenship is dead. Has been since the government handed power of legislation over to privatized banking in 1913.
Not shocking so many Copa have 0 clue what they can and can not do to you .....and I'm a cop supporter too but so many don't know shit ..... had a cop stop my wife last year for a broken headlight.... to save money she isn't on my insurance so she's excluded and he tried impounding the car and telling her she couldn't drive ..... had her there an hour ......even argued about our insurance wasn't current lmao😂 I called his super and 5 mins after he let her go and let him know that his men didn't know basic driving laws that you learn at 18 lol 😂
You have to ask yourself how many other officers were trained and supervised by these 2 individuals to have the same ignorance and disregard for the law and the Constitution over their 20 years of service.
These court officers (not street cops) have been coached on how to answer without (?) lying. They are not quite as stupid as they appear. Just because they can't quote a law doesn't mean that they are ignorant of the law. I wish the lawyer deposing them was as good at deposing them as they are at lying without lying.
They aren't ignorant. They know the lawsuit can get them personally for willfully breaking the law. By claiming ignorance it is an excuse of bad training and then it's just the city that pays. This is a legal tactic. But for a cop of 27 years to blatantly lie that he never arrested anyone I don't get.
It's whoever is knowingly know who they are walking around with power. Who is allowing them, to work as a police officer. Why aren't they tested about knowing the law? Why weren't they tested about the law before hiring police? Who is really at fault?
Stop manipulating. Your people are just people who want, conscient or not, to make fall our countries. To make fall avery agent. Every one. This is real clear. Law has an objective. To help people. People like you use the law to destroy our countries. For the eyes of putin and mafias and dictators etc. In france too. Then people end dead. Because they believe you that somehow people has like a false mission to harrass the police.
Cops like them should fear other cops more than criminals for giving them such a bad name and making a joke of the uniform.. but that'd require some of them to have morals and take pride in their work/uniform.
This basically boils down to this; Cops - “I don’t like what you’re doing, so it’s ‘illegal’ and I’m detaining you” I hope this woman sues these cops into oblivion.
@@youtubeSuckssNow Absolutely ridiculous that anyone could think that was okay after seeing both the footage and the deposition displaying their arrogance (from the male cop) and ignorance (from the female cop).
Legal system protecting it's own bs. Favors getting done and hands washed in hope the public forgets a case so the can screw it. Really it should not take years at most for cases like this a few months with the evidence a year if they stretch.
If the woman assaulted the officers, this case would be done in 5 mins while the woman would be in jail for 30 years. But since it is a case against the police, it takes 2+ years to "figure out" and the cops got off scot free. Merica!
Yes get rid of qualified immunity and abolish police unions they are using the legal process as the punishment all while using American tax dollars to drag out the case
Detective Williams got it wrong.The civil case ended in 2021 with the judge throwing out the case, it appears. But also, I see something about how she got a $15k settlement. Google 18-cv-3619 to see those results
And now even w body cams these asinine cops still break the law.... or turn off the body cam.... " oh, I don't know how it got turned off. I must have bumped into something or it happened during the struggle" Mister, Please!!
Twenty-seven years a cop... TWENTY TWO YEARS A LIEUTENANT... Had not arrested anyone, did not know what Miranda Rights are. A total disgrace.

It's kind of not corruption, it's ignorance and ego. Also, this case I find is much more serious than the other video here, of the God Bless America sign veteran who was detained. He was detained very briefly and literally asked to be put into cuffs. Here, this is outrageous.

I am not a US citizen, and I am not a police officer, but even I know what the Miranda Rights are. How the heck did that guy reach the rank of Lieutenant. He was showing all the competence of a rookie turning up for the first day of Police Academy.
This case is not still ongoing, it has been dismissed years ago. The court found the actions of the officers lawful concluding: "Clearly, “videotaping other people, when accompanied by other suspicious circumstances, may constitute disorderly conduct” under an Illinois statute stating that a person “commits disorderly conduct' when they knowingly do “any act in such unreasonable manner as to alarm or disturb another and to provoke a breach of the peace.” Reher v. Vivo, 656 F.3d 772, 775 (7th Cir. 2011) (quoting 720 ILCS 5/26-1(a)(1)). In this case, Officer Barbaro testified that he observed Plaintiff “scanning back and forth with the camera up and down, people coming in and out possibly, possibly videotaping through the glass at the security post that I work at of the entry procedure.” [114-5] at 3. According to Officer Barbaro, the courthouse installed cameras outside the building after the 9/11 attacks to “watch the intakes for the air system in case someone wants to do something with that.” [114-5] at 3. Given such circumstances, Officer Barbaro had reasonable suspicion to believe that Plaintiff violated or was violating a general administrative order of the court, and/or the Illinois statute prohibiting disorderly conduct. He saw Plaintiff filming the entrance of the courthouse, a place where jurors, victims, witnesses, and litigants appear, and where security measures remain in place for the protection of all who come within the courthouse, including jurors, victims, witnesses, litigants, attorneys, courthouse security officers, and judges.’
@@TomWatson-vu6fj actually the case was dismissed because they settled. The lieutenant had to pay her 15k, couldn't find anything on what the sergeant had to pay. The sheriff's department settlement amount is sealed.
@@mmabri The Case was initially dismissed for the reasons I stated above. Amanda then appealed and the county settled for 15k as litigation costs would have exceeded the settlement Cost. The 15k were not paid by the lieutenant but rather by cook county.
to be fair he doesn't know about the 4th ammendment, the first ammendment, he's not even watched enough cop movies to know you have the right to remain silent anything you do say can be used against you in court, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court (little UK-flavour). you have the right to an attourney...i'm doing this from memory.. i'm just a random guy in europe.....
Samantha is VERY smart having gotten the cops to explain their unreasonable actions repeatedly whilst “remaining silent” on her own part. Awesome job. My main thought during this whole thing is “how are you gonna enforce an arrest based on a law that you don’t even know, WHY don’t you know the law you’re a COP that’s your JOB”
Why. They'll just walk into the test room, sign a piece of paper that they took the test, leave and take the rest of the day off. My brother-in-law was a cop. I know how it works.
How can you spend decades in a job and learn so little? I grew up in the Cook county suburbs but at least the schools were still functional back then. The woman seems like a decent person in system that doesn't care or expect much.
That's pretty scary to know the lieutenant doesn't know the basics of law enforcement. It's also sad to know taxpayers have paid him over the past 27 years, and he has arrested 1 person.
When she referenced the 4th amendment, and they said "why do we always get the crazy ones," I physically got sick to my stomach. The war on drugs, and global war on terror have turned this country into a police state. It's a damn shame. The justice system in this country needs swift and major reform.
I'm a former deputy sheriff and I'm in absolute disbelief. To say that you don't know what is required to detain and arrest when you have been an officer for more than 5 minutes is insanity. That is the very first topic addressed in the criminal law segment of the academy and repeated over and over again.
The problem isn't that "they" don't know...., the problem and issue is they are allowed to play coy and innocently ignorant to the facts and the law. They KNOW what the law is, but if they say it, now they're responsible for that knowledge which will in turn demand accountability. So, which is the easier and most discreet approach or route to take ...? To act as if they don't know the law, even at the expense of looking like they just don't remember or confused. When an individual (cop) is THAT cunning and sophisticated in hiding their deceptions, EVERY booking they have made, EVERY conviction the prosecution have won, should be revisited and reviewed with major scrutiny. (IMHO) Most COPS on the beat or anywhere will not give the the public the same consideration when confronting someone who they KNOW aren't out attempting to commit crimes. SMDH
I've also been wrongfully arrested. But for an OWI. Yet if I could go back in time, I would sue that piece of shit cop. I know I would've won. But I don't dwell on it since it's done with. But if I ever see him again (doubtful which is good) I will tell him the fuck off.
I can't believe you sir! You're in disbelief when damn near every case cops are making up violations, making up laws, and lying on reports? I had a cop plant a bag of weed on me once! Most of these scumbags are liars!
The Plaintiff appears to be a journalist who works on police oversight, so my guess is the department DID try to settle this, but she wants to drag it out for fill accountability.
Very ignorant and unfair of you to lump the entire police force, in other words, every single officer, together based on the actions of these two officers and the legal department that determines how lawsuits are settled You and so many other morons are so quick to demonize all police officers, that you don't know or have any knowledge of, based on little to no facts and your own personal biases and ignorance. There are so many just like you leaving factless comments based on their emotions and bias in this case.
Normally I wouldn’t react like this: but I hope she takes them to the cleaners. These “officers” have no clue on foundational policy.. or the CONSTITUTION!!
After 33 years in law enforcement, it is embarrassing to see these people calling themselves law enforcement officers. How does a law enforcement officer work over 22 years and never arrested someone. It looks like these two never received any basic law enforcement training. Their answers are unbelievable.
My biggest problem with this is how blatantly illegal all of this is, yet the cops remained employed and on payroll, and even worse, it somehow took several YEARS to reach a conclusion. This obviously open and shut case is being dragged out via beurocracy for whatever reason, I suspect to avoid accountability and drain the defendant of funds before the trial can come to an end
If i go in front of a judge & say "I don't know the law", the response from ANY judge would say "ignorance is no excuse" & I'd be found guilty. WTF IS THE DIFFERENCE? Except these are people sworn to uphold the law & they have not a clue. They should be fired for the disgrace and embarrassment they've caused their Dept.
I have encountered police, many times, who did NOT understand the laws they were talking about. The comes a time when you just have to shut up and let them hang themselves..... The woman videoing the courthouse here is a great example of how to handle dumb cops. I REALLY wish black people would pay particular attention to the positive merits of calmly shutting their mouths and being observant to what is going on around them.
More than fired. All the laws they broke on that one day alone are enough to call for harsher judgment, let along the 27 years worth of “criminals” that man unlawfully arrested.
The difference is that they have qualified immunity, which is why qualified immunity should be taken away. If cops actually had to take responsibility for their actions then maybe they would do their jobs correctly
The fact that I as a 21 year old with no law experience at all can tell the difference between being detained and being arrested and a cop of over 20 years can’t is just horrendous.
Being detained and arrested are legally the same. Every time you’re detained at a traffic stop, you’re legally under arrest, but you don’t have to go in to get booked or fingerprinted.
Not really true. They say they dont know because if they say they know they have to admit they knowingly broke the law. Hence it is easier to claim not knowing. It is unbelievable that they dont know such basics and they are lying. They should both be held in contempt of the court.
The level of ignorance on the behalf of these officers is shocking. 27 years of “enforcing” the law without knowing what it is… I wonder how many other citizens’ rights were violated.
These cops are an absolute disgrace. The fact that they are allowed to have legal authority over ANY citizen is a strong indication that citizens rights are of NO value to this Department.....I hope justice is done in this case.....They need to be held accountable.
"Ignorance of the law is not a defense" I have heard that line time and time again. It is sad to hear it from the higher ranking personnel PAID to enforce the law.
That's a really tyrannical standard when you consider the potential millions of statutes on the books so far in the United States. ...that "no ignorance of the law" thing should really only apply to things that are generally known to be harmful to others. (and specific laws should have it as part of the text if the authors want ignorance to not be excused....it shouldn't just be the default for every law that is ever made.)
She handled it exactly as it should. Everyone has the right, and really should, always remain silent and clearly say that they don’t consent to searches. She was calm and composed. Perfect
I was blown away by this entire interview until I heard, Cook County. My uncle was a pedestrian killed by a reckless driver many years ago who was never held accountable for his death. My family learned the driver was a family member of that police department. It makes sense to me now, 30 years later.
@@slimetooomob1656 Thank you. I don’t know who polices the police in that city, and I’ll refrain from throwing the “baby out with the bath water” because I know not all police officers are corrupt, but what I do know is, when you trash your integrity and lose your own moral compass because your power tripping ego took the wheel, the karma bus eventually pulls up to your door to do the driving. Karma always serves up what you deserve.👍
When I was in college in Chicago, a friend's 10 or 11 year old daughter was crossing the street with her bike and was killed when a delivery-type truck hit her, smashing her between his truck and a parked car. He was never charged with anything.
Speaking for myself, this is terrifying. Officers like this are on the streets day in and day out, not knowing the law and arresting and who knows whatever else. Unfortunately in most cases it'll be justified, even when they are in the wrong.
This is why I believe that qualified immunity needs to be a thing of the past. Police officers should be held at a higher standard. When caught breaking the law or willingly violating someone’s rights on a power trip it should be an automatic felony and prison time. Imagine all of the poor people these two have violated in the past
No, that’s still needed for the good officers. What needs to be a thing of the past are idiots like these two. They should root people like this out of law enforcement and fire them for not knowing their jobs.
I don't think qualified immunity should be abolished. It's imperative for protecting cops who might otherwise be too afraid to do their jobs for fear of reprimand. What we actually need is independent oversight of the police. Oversight that can justify or disqualify such immunity based on the circumstances of each interaction. What we have to remember is that cops are human beings. They're jerks and saints just like us. It would be so great if we could detect jerks and exclude them from law enforcement. Sadly, we can't. The best we can do is provide oversight. And not have the police police themselves. A truly independent, with full authourity, oversight board that keeps the cops honest.
@@antonyduhamel1166 while cops are humans, they have, or should have been, trained and educated to NOT be jerks and be better than the general population. There is no such thing as the concept of a "truly independent oversight board" - it can't exist.
The woman in this video was awarded fifteen thousand dollars for her fourth amendment rights being violated, and that sergeant of twenty-two years was fired.
Right!? Like how do they work as a cop for 20+ years and not know it was ok to detain her on one charge for “refusal to show ID” the moment he asked for ID and she refused that was all they needed😂😂😂😂 they glossed clean over that and didn’t even think to use that as defense🤯🤯🤯 like that alone can be fined and even lead to jail time up to 12 months in prison and not even once spoke about that but we’re so hyper focused on pictures and video 😂😂😂😂 worst cops of all time 😂😂😂
"Intelligent enough" even though she was just being a iseless loser recording a courthouse because she wants to be a morality cop herself or something is hilarious
@Dan55888 yes. This is true. Most "Frauditors" just want to create an uneasy environment. However, this isn't against the law. I hate to say this but it is a good thing that she exposed these people before a more serious situation happened like two sons posing in front of the courthouse while their mother takes out a camera to snap a picture. This Officer immediately pulls out his gun and blows her head off. I agree most frauditors are just out to harass public officials for clicks and views, but this frauditor in this situation exposed something very alarming that should be investigated.
This is absolutely SHOCKING. My jaw is still on the floor. This sheriff's department must be corrupt from top to bottom. How else would someone who doesn't even understand Miranda make Lieutenant so quickly and retain his position for so long with this ineptitude? And how tf hasn't this case been decided already? What is there to even argue about??!
Bro, you think they didn’t know or understand it? I don’t think so personally, I think they were on a power trip. They didn’t think they would be exposed and actually held accountable. Then they play innocent and ignorant of the law.
One of the most corrupt in the nation I do believe they tell you what happened when they have no idea I've had to deal with them several times in my life
This is beyond what I had in my wildest dreams anticipated. This is beyond frightening. The fact that these two have the authority to restrict someone's freedom , while in an official capacity , with arrest powers , a badge , a weapon , access to long guns , chemical agents , tasers , batons , mace , and the ignorant intimidation factor is mind boggling , terrifying , and if I hadn't witnessed this scenario with my own eyes , something from George Orwell's 1984 novel , and worse. I'm left stunned and utterly speechless. Very , very , sad times for America.
Well no, they don’t have access to all of that, as they work in the jail. They are not road deputies. They are sworn police, however do not operate in the same manner as municipal police. (Hence why he hasn’t made in arrest in 27 years etc) the officers in black work in the jail. Officers in tan work streets.
I’m sitting here like “20 years of being a police officer and not neither of them knew the law?” I mean how are they even still servering when they don’t even know the law legally???
I mean, it's Cook County, so I can't say I'm completely surprised. I'd also say that the Cook County Sheriff's Office should pretty much be under constant investigation. 😂
All I can find is that she sued and won….which kinda tells me these ppl are still cops who know nothing and are being paid to enforce a law they know nothing about-but this is the majority of cops in America so back to are regularly scheduled program…
That is too extreme. I think that they should both lose their jobs and the department should compensate this woman. It is obvious that their Police Department lacks proper training procedures and should be overhauled.
This attorney is fantastic!! It is so scary to think that people like this are patrolling the streets! I can’t believe that this case, “has been going on for years.” 🙄
@@Guiltless765 Yes, and they know attorneys are expensive and a lot of people can't afford one for very long...if at all. So yes, they just try and wear you down and hope you will give up and go away.
I was disgusted too, not trying to get them an excuse… but if you got promoted to a leadership position after just a few years of police work, and it’s been more than 2 decades since you needed to know any of that, would you do any better? All you have to do is be involved with the backside investigation processes, not mess up and boom. Promotion. There are tons of policing jobs that don’t involve getting “hands on”, and hence why he was the LT of the police station and not for patrol officers. Same thing as the military, just because you were a marine or solider doesn’t mean you were close to a firefight or know what to do in one. Edits only for grammer/typos. Message has remained the same.
@@Rainersherwood He didn't know what Miranda rights are ?.....that is about as basic as it gets and all cops should know from day one. I have never heard of any cop that doesn't know what they are.

Shame on you…..well,,,because of criminals like these two (and there are plenty like them if not worst), because of that you are called pigs, because of that your respect and reputation is in the bottom of the toilet.
The scariest thing about this video, is that it is real. This were actual cops, and for a lieutenant of 22 years not knowing Miranda rights, he should be fired for that alone.
I'm just gonna add when you *actually* know the law lol. I worked with the police for a bit and a lot of people *say* they know their rights. Some, like this girl, *do* know her rights. And cuz of that, she had the wonderful outcome of winning her lawsuit. :)
@maverickstclare3756 Right but a warranted/attested/sworn whatever phrase you want to use officer should have a basic understanding of their basic arrest powers...
And this is what is baffling to the public. How can this case, which is clearly a slam dunk for the plaintiff, not been closed and judgement against the officers rendered? This is exactly what causes the public's lack of trust in the judicial system. Those officers should have been, at the very least, suspended. What a miscarriage of justice.
Judge wanted to delete the photos according to the cop, stated it in the witness stand ffs! Why that judge not suspended and put on charges? Yet these scumbag criminals in govt target Trump with false charges they know he is innocent of and the democriminals are guilty of... Worse than England 1776 especially with these govt criminals stealing assets, destroying lives, and murdering people with no accountability. The constitution describes such govt officials as domestic enemies and requires that all citizens stand against these traitors! Ignorance of the law is no excuse especially after 20-30 years as cops.
Every case these officers have ever been part of should be reviewed for and overturned if any unlawful and/or constitutional violations were committed by them. And these officers should be imprisoned for no less than 20 years without parole.
And ALL of their assets seized and transferred to the victim or victim's family. The pork's family can go restart on their own and thank their criminal pos for this.
They would lose so many slaves if they did that. They would rather give out tax payers money instead of releasing innocent slaves. We would have more then half as many slaves in the prison system if they started releasing all the innocent people. I say slave because of the 13th amendment. Read it you will see what i mean.
Don’t worry, there aren’t any cases as the lieutenant has never arrested anyone, nor could he have been able to ad didn’t know the Miranda rights. Wow wow wow. 😮
@@TheAqualegendwhen you deprive someone of their freedom, you may as well have committed murder as I just assume be dead than have my freedom taken from. Especially when it was illegal, throw away the key.
27 years as a cop and he admits to not knowing what the miranda rights are.and he's NEVER made a single arrest?. I am an optometrist and it's the equivalent of me not knowing what any eye is when asked 🤔..shocking!!
They aren’t cops they are considered peace officers they are sheriffs they belonged to court security and have limited powers of arrest. They didn’t have police powers but what is granted to them by court. If they were police they would have been sherifs police. But that doesn’t excuse them, for not knowing the law. Everyone one on the replies are confusing them for being police officers .
@@mnaanep OH i know they were court officers, but if you are going to pose or go outside of the boundaries of their authority they better sure know what the hell they are doing especially the smug LT. over there. lol
If he became Lt. Malazzo 22 years ago and he still does not know the basic laws or the Constitution, why is he even still in the job? The thought of how dumb the rest of this department must be, if this is the calibre of the rank of Lt., is very worrying. When Sgt. Jennifer Larson is introduced into the picture it becomes even more evident that ignorance of the law and being unfit for office in law enforcement seems to be the only qualification necessary to be employed in this department. The actions of these officers were so blatant and obviously unlawful and illegal, so why the hell has the case been going on for years. Both officers should have had qualified immunity revoked, been fired from the job and prosecuted/sentenced to prison terms for their unlawful actions. Always remember, ignorance of the law is no defence.
Ignorance of the law is no defense for you or me.... but an officer is apparently a different story. We see that they can be as ignorant as can be and stay in uniform and can even rise in rank despite never having even arrested someone. wtf has he done for 27 years??
These deputies have obviously been on court duty thier whole careers. Most Sherriff's Departments rotate court duty or have as off duty extra work for thier regular deputies. This really rises to a full State or even Federal investigation into the department. The cavalier manner in which civil rights are violated is stunning. A challenger for Sheriff is in order for sure.
I was a truck driver for 30yrs, pulled over for 3mph over the speed limit in a small town the cop said ignorance of the law is no excuse but yet you have 20yr veteran cops don't know the law is really disgusting and they wonder why people don't have any respect for them anymore WOW
She doesn't know the law she has sworn to uphold? That is not only extremely unprofessional considering how many years she's been in that field, but extremely terrifying to think there are probably many offices like her...... We are doomed
Someone else in the comment section theorized that probably attempt to avoid _mens rea_ -- which only works if you are _not_ working in law (enforcement) and expected to know it.
Why this case wasn't swiftly concluded is beyond me. It is obvious these officers are incompetent and violated rights. Their deposition answers are truly frightening.
The court ruled in their favour, because apparently there is a court order that prohibits filming in the court that somehow means that you can't film outside because you might get a glimpse inside. This means they had probable cause to do all the rest. Oh and you can't fight the claim that the law making it illegal to film is itself an infringement of the first amendment because (and this takes the cake for backwards) you need to have a successful complaint for your right being violated first. So her rights get violated, she gets detained, they get cleared because of a law directly against the first amendment, but you can't fight that law because you need to first show a violation of rights. Which you can't get because the law makes it legal to violate the first amendment...
Because the system hates you, the sooner you realize that the sooner you'll realize why all officers are corrupt. Serving and enabling a corrupt system makes you corrupt.
@user-dw4cs4xv8y yeah but she was filming near the entrance, and could see inside and see the security checkpoint, meaning the cops had a reasonable excuse to assume she was filming the security at the place for something bad
Scary, scary, scary. The worst type of tyrant .....an ignorant egotistical tyrant with a gun and the power to arrest you. Both should be fired immediately.
Or they do understand the law,but choose to abuse their power because they know some citizens who don't actually fully understand the law so these cops just take advantage of the victim and they think they can get away,they get away.But cops should respect the laws not abuse their power and act above the laws.
Most cops are trained in apprehension, pursuit, questioning witnesses and suspects, and there is always a bit about the Constitution, later on in service always makes a reference to these laws and how recent court cases change the way the laws are enforced. I was amazed at how much I didn't know about the law when workers comp sent me to college to become a paralegal after 24 years as an officer. Sure we understood a bit about the law but had no idea how those laws actually worked when cases went to court. We would see the lawyer who questioned us, and the prosecutor who was supposed to protect us a bit and lead us through our testimony on the stand. I wish every cop could attend some of the classes we took in that course, it would make a huge difference.
They settled. She got 15000 dollars, nowhere near the amount of cost of her lawyers likely. This county has around 100 million dollars of lawsuits they've had to pay. From offenses against its jails, officers, and even judges. This entire county is corrupt. We need to end qualified immunity
Bruh you can't be serious I'm floored that you could even argue that her getting that small a settlement should be allowed, it would already bad they violated A law but no they violated multiple like that is bonkers.

Paying for said lawyer must be a humbling experience

I wouldn't call them officers
the cherry on top was the legal counsel of the cops saying „objection, cause for speculation“ when Samanthas lawyer offered the cop a way out of implying a Judge in an illegal activity 😂
The right to remain silent is now a direct threat to police apparently.
The sad fact is that a lot of police officers genuinely believe that the law is whatever they say it is.
You talk to a lot of police officers? I’d be willing to bet the vast majority don’t think that way at all
@@wbg6500 What's a lot? There are hundreds of thousands, so no, nobody talks to a lot of police officers if you look at it that way. Every officer I've ever met, dozens, have been happy to pretend their department policy is the law instead of simply department policy. That's a major issue. It's pervasive. Look at the officers in this video as an example. Tons of years of experience and they can't answer VERY basic questions about the law. What do they rely on? Department policy. You heard it yourself. That's called what? Believing the law is whatever they say it is. They genuinely believe their personal department policy is the law. They believe the law is whatever they say it is. It's an epidemic that is killing trust in police officers on a nationwide scale.
@@wbg6500the vast majority of police officers have under a year of relevant training and no college degree. They don’t know shit or care to know shit
@@wbg6500just look at the sea of misconduct cases. you can be an apologist all you want, but to outright claim the falsehood of that fact is ignorant.
That’s because, generally speaking, the law is whatever they say it is.
What exactly can an individual do if a cop pulls them over (let’s say for speeding), then decides to arrest them (for whatever reason), then holds them in the back of the car for a couple hours, then books them.
Eventually, that person will probably be released, but there’s a lot of points in there that the cop can make ANYTHING up to justify wasting half your day, or possibly much longer. What can you really do about it? Really?
What if they outright shoot you in the head after the stop. Sure, they will probably go to jail eventually, but you’re dead, and they may not go to jail at all.
Now imagine this world without cameras (body cams and personal), cell phones, social media, and audio recordings.
They are the law if they want to be and for every one that gets caught and punished accordingly, dozens don’t.
I believe most cops are good, the vast majority, but boy can they get away with a ton if they want to (at least temporarily).
Her lawyer is an absolute boss and it's insane that there are cops like this out there
He doesn't know the Miranda rights. Watch a few episodes of Law and Order and Chicago PD and you know more about law then these two combined. 27 years as a cop and he doesn't know any law!!!!

Rocks
It's way more cops like this then u would ever imagine
@amarieoflothlorien that's how I learned the Miranda Rights!!💯💯
More than you know
That lawyer sounded so shocked at the end “YOU’VE BEEN A LIEUTENANT FOR 22 YEARS AND DON’T KNOW THE MIRANDA RIGHTS” 😂😂
He definitely knew the way to the chow hall!
Unbelievable. Were there no crimes in Cook County over the past 27 years? Hard to believe he never arrested anyone and that he doesn't know what the Miranda Rights are.
what's worse is that he knew them..but couldnt recite them..and still didnt know what they mean...as if they were in another language...
A flabbergasted lawyer is pure pleasure to observe.
Yet me and everyone else I know all knew what Miranda rights were by the time we were in grade school. And haven't forgotten since. So essentially the average third grader is better educated on their rights than these "police" officers.
As someone who has never been an officer, I know the Miranda rights. Can I be promoted to the top of the local police department now? This is absolutely embarrassing. This entire department needs to be investigated.
Imagine how many people's rights they've violated and lives they've ruined in 27yrs! Every single case they've ever touched should be reviewed deeply!
Exactly! And not because the individual did anything wrong but because the inept and ignorant cops used unlawful orders and tactics to violate a law abiding citizen's rights!
Everyone should be pissed that that is a common tactic (and it's way too common. just look at the recommended videos to the right of this one) that is employed by law enforcement.

I dont bel8ve him his ego is way above the rest and way he speaking to pink on camra o ya he down playing acting stupid so not to be charged but like they tell us ignrance of law is no excuse
To be totally truthful he has been a county sherif lieutenant during that timeframe. ie he is not arresting anyone, he is the one checking that when you goto court you pass through the metal detector without carrying a bazooka in with you. All of his actions were illegal and many in uniform feel that they are above the law. I just wouldn't want people to assume he was a police officer as he is not. Hopefully he gets fired and jailed for the 5 or more years he shuold get. As this is Cook County he most likely will be forced to retire but no actual jail time.
The lawyer is a legend. Well done 👏👏👏
Yeah he's very sharp, never let's him off the hook
Every arrest, every case, every anything that these "officers" have had their hands in needs to be scrutinized, along with the department heads that gave them license to act in this manner with, what appears to be, no training and complete impunity.
Truly disgusting!
Given that the Lt has apparently never arrested anyone in 27 years as a LEO, that should be a short list. Anyone cop that on every question of "is this obviously not legal thing legal?" answers "I don't know" should have their badge taken, because clearly they accidentally found it in a cerealbox.

yeah it's really hard to imagine the frustration you would feel in that moment. These cops follow company policy and not the law. To be perfectly honest the law is subtle and yet incredibly complicated. It's why a patrol officer was never intended to have the same right of interpretation as a judge. We need police, but they don't get the best and brightest. You can't expect cops to know the law as well as a judge, so they should be stripped of like 90% of their investigative abilities. Any invocation of constitutional law should be a required call to a judge or their representative, not the decision of some redneck captain who couldn't understand half the language in the law they enforce. Even if you eventually get justice in court, the process of bail/jail/awaiting trial should be considered one of the most despicable things a citizen can experience.
Therein lies the answer as to whether or not they actually believe in the constitution they swore to uphold and proof that we are no longer a constitutional republic as was intended .and lastly that your tax dollars fund protection for the private sectors , elite and major corporations in this country. Do you really believe we are a nation of law and rules ? No , we are simply one massive commonwealth operating under corporate law. American citizenship is dead.

Their ignorance of the law is shocking.....than terrifying. They are the ones with guns and arrest powers.
You have to ask yourself how many other officers were trained and supervised by these 2 individuals to have the same ignorance and disregard for the law and the Constitution over their 20 years of service.
These court officers (not street cops) have been coached on how to answer without (?) lying. They are not quite as stupid as they appear. Just because they can't quote a law doesn't mean that they are ignorant of the law. I wish the lawyer deposing them was as good at deposing them as they are at lying without lying.
They aren't ignorant. They know the lawsuit can get them personally for willfully breaking the law. By claiming ignorance it is an excuse of bad training and then it's just the city that pays. This is a legal tactic. But for a cop of 27 years to blatantly lie that he never arrested anyone I don't get.
It's whoever is knowingly know who they are walking around with power. Who is allowing them, to work as a police officer. Why aren't they tested about knowing the law? Why weren't they tested about the law before hiring police? Who is really at fault?
If you think they don't know the law then you are just as dumb as you think they are.
Holy hell I cannot wrap my head around how incredibly incompetent they are.

This case is not still ongoing, it has been dismissed years ago. The court found the actions of the officers lawful concluding: "Clearly, “videotaping other people, when accompanied by other suspicious circumstances, may constitute disorderly conduct” under an Illinois statute stating that a person “commits disorderly conduct' when they knowingly do “any act in such unreasonable manner as to alarm or disturb another and to provoke a breach of the peace.” Reher v. Vivo, 656 F.3d 772, 775 (7th Cir. 2011) (quoting 720 ILCS 5/26-1(a)(1)). In this case, Officer Barbaro testified that he observed Plaintiff “scanning back and forth with the camera up and down, people coming in and out possibly, possibly videotaping through the glass at the security post that I work at of the entry procedure.” [114-5] at 3. According to Officer Barbaro, the courthouse installed cameras outside the building after the 9/11 attacks to “watch the intakes for the air system in case someone wants to do something with that.” [114-5] at 3. Given such circumstances, Officer Barbaro had reasonable suspicion to believe that Plaintiff violated or was violating a general administrative order of the court, and/or the Illinois statute prohibiting disorderly conduct. He saw Plaintiff filming the entrance of the courthouse, a place where jurors, victims, witnesses, and litigants appear, and where security measures remain in place for the protection of all who come within the courthouse, including jurors, victims, witnesses, litigants, attorneys, courthouse security officers, and judges.’

to be fair he doesn't know about the 4th ammendment, the first ammendment, he's not even watched enough cop movies to know you have the right to remain silent anything you do say can be used against you in court, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court (little UK-flavour). you have the right to an attourney...i'm doing this from memory.. i'm just a random guy in europe.....

I'm a former deputy sheriff and I'm in absolute disbelief. To say that you don't know what is required to detain and arrest when you have been an officer for more than 5 minutes is insanity. That is the very first topic addressed in the criminal law segment of the academy and repeated over and over again.
I'm an Australian watcher of U.S. crime TV shows and I know more than he does.
The problem isn't that "they" don't know...., the problem and issue is they are allowed to play coy and innocently ignorant to the facts and the law. They KNOW what the law is, but if they say it, now they're responsible for that knowledge which will in turn demand accountability. So, which is the easier and most discreet approach or route to take ...? To act as if they don't know the law, even at the expense of looking like they just don't remember or confused. When an individual (cop) is THAT cunning and sophisticated in hiding their deceptions, EVERY booking they have made, EVERY conviction the prosecution have won, should be revisited and reviewed with major scrutiny. (IMHO) Most COPS on the beat or anywhere will not give the the public the same consideration when confronting someone who they KNOW aren't out attempting to commit crimes. SMDH
I've also been wrongfully arrested. But for an OWI. Yet if I could go back in time, I would sue that piece of shit cop. I know I would've won. But I don't dwell on it since it's done with. But if I ever see him again (doubtful which is good) I will tell him the fuck off.
I can't believe you sir! You're in disbelief when damn near every case cops are making up violations, making up laws, and lying on reports? I had a cop plant a bag of weed on me once! Most of these scumbags are liars!
It's sad for all the righteous cops out there, who risk their lives day in and out.
The fact the department didn't try to settle this as fast as they could tells you all you need to know about the whole police force
The Plaintiff appears to be a journalist who works on police oversight, so my guess is the department DID try to settle this, but she wants to drag it out for fill accountability.
Very ignorant and unfair of you to lump the entire police force, in other words, every single officer, together based on the actions of these two officers and the legal department that determines how lawsuits are settled You and so many other morons are so quick to demonize all police officers, that you don't know or have any knowledge of, based on little to no facts and your own personal biases and ignorance. There are so many just like you leaving factless comments based on their emotions and bias in this case.

This obviously open and shut case is being dragged out via beurocracy for whatever reason, I suspect to avoid accountability and drain the defendant of funds before the trial can come to an end
Wonder if it would go the same if this was taken to federal court

More than fired. All the laws they broke on that one day alone are enough to call for harsher judgment, let along the 27 years worth of “criminals” that man unlawfully arrested.
The difference is that they have qualified immunity, which is why qualified immunity should be taken away. If cops actually had to take responsibility for their actions then maybe they would do their jobs correctly
Fired without their pension rights, for having exercised a job without knowing their job.

The lack of knowledge of the law between these cops is truly frightening. And they each have over 20 years on force!
The fact that I as a 21 year old with no law experience at all can tell the difference between being detained and being arrested and a cop of over 20 years can’t is just horrendous.
Being detained and arrested are legally the same. Every time you’re detained at a traffic stop, you’re legally under arrest, but you don’t have to go in to get booked or fingerprinted.
They also didnt know jack about the amendments. THAT is the scariest part.

@@graceg3250doesn't being arrested imply you have already did a crime? while being detained they only have reasonable suspicion?
Not really true. They say they dont know because if they say they know they have to admit they knowingly broke the law. Hence it is easier to claim not knowing. It is unbelievable that they dont know such basics and they are lying. They should both be held in contempt of the court.

This is why I believe that qualified immunity needs to be a thing of the past. Police officers should be held at a higher standard. When caught breaking the law or willingly violating someone’s rights on a power trip it should be an automatic felony and prison time. Imagine all of the poor people these two have violated in the past
No, that’s still needed for the good officers.
What needs to be a thing of the past are idiots like these two. They should root people like this out of law enforcement and fire them for not knowing their jobs.
I don't think qualified immunity should be abolished. It's imperative for protecting cops who might otherwise be too afraid to do their jobs for fear of reprimand.
What we actually need is independent oversight of the police. Oversight that can justify or disqualify such immunity based on the circumstances of each interaction.
What we have to remember is that cops are human beings. They're jerks and saints just like us. It would be so great if we could detect jerks and exclude them from law enforcement. Sadly, we can't. The best we can do is provide oversight. And not have the police police themselves. A truly independent, with full authourity, oversight board that keeps the cops honest.

Every case these officers have ever been part of should be reviewed for and overturned if any unlawful and/or constitutional violations were committed by them. And these officers should be imprisoned for no less than 20 years without parole.

Jennifer Larson is introduced into the picture it becomes even more evident that ignorance of the law and being unfit for office in law enforcement seems to be the only qualification necessary to be employed in this department.

Oh and you can't fight the claim that the law making it illegal to film is itself an infringement of the first amendment because (and this takes the cake for backwards) you need to have a successful complaint for your right being violated first.
So her rights get violated, she gets detained, they get cleared because of a law directly against the first amendment, but you can't fight that law because you need to first show a violation of rights. Which you can't get because the law makes it legal to violate the first amendment...
@@ThaGr1mif this cook county is Chicago than there is no justice or law just a bunch of criminals on benches and acting lawyers
Because the system hates you, the sooner you realize that the sooner you'll realize why all officers are corrupt. Serving and enabling a corrupt system makes you corrupt.
Would be a shame if they got ran over during a traffic stop.
@user-dw4cs4xv8y yeah but she was filming near the entrance, and could see inside and see the security checkpoint, meaning the cops had a reasonable excuse to assume she was filming the security at the place for something bad
Scary, scary, scary. The worst type of tyrant .....an ignorant egotistical tyrant with a gun and the power to arrest you. Both should be fired immediately.
Fired ? Is that what happens to you when you violate the LAW OF THE LAND ? They should be put in prison for the rest of their adult lives . . .
"I don't know the law". Feeeeerk what an embarrassment
The amount of times these officers said "I don't know" when asked about the law is both hilarious and frightening
People like this are to be considered a menace to society and an insult not only to law enforcement, but also to the citizens of this country
Both of these animals belong in prison
This is deeply concerning. How do these cops have so much power when they don't understand the law?!
The female cop was so dumb I couldn’t believe she admitted she knew nothing
Or they do understand the law,but choose to abuse their power because they know some citizens who don't actually fully understand the law so these cops just take advantage of the victim and they think they can get away,they get away.But cops should respect the laws not abuse their power and act above the laws.
@@hiengkuoch9152this woman knew the law and they didn't care. They illegally detained and arrested her anyway, and deleted her camera.
Most cops are trained in apprehension, pursuit, questioning witnesses and suspects, and there is always a bit about the Constitution, later on in service always makes a reference to these laws and how recent court cases change the way the laws are enforced. I was amazed at how much I didn't know about the law when workers comp sent me to college to become a paralegal after 24 years as an officer. Sure we understood a bit about the law but had no idea how those laws actually worked when cases went to court. We would see the lawyer who questioned us, and the prosecutor who was supposed to protect us a bit and lead us through our testimony on the stand. I wish every cop could attend some of the classes we took in that course, it would make a huge difference.
She does understand. That's her way of getting out of trouble. she'll be retrained instead of facing worse consequences.
It's insane to me that this hasn't been resolved already based on those answers. Would love to see a follow up video once the trial concludes
They settled. She got 15000 dollars, nowhere near the amount of cost of her lawyers likely. This county has around 100 million dollars of lawsuits they've had to pay. From offenses against its jails, officers, and even judges. This entire county is corrupt. We need to end qualified immunity
Bruh you can't be serious I'm floored that you could even argue that her getting that small a settlement should be allowed, it would already bad they violated A law but no they violated multiple like that is bonkers.
