San Diego cops tried to steal my 72 Chevy El Camino. People were stealing parts off my vehicle after the police arrested me on bogus charges instead of going after the real criminals.

I am a journeyman electrician. I HAVE to know a roughly 500 page national electrical code book inside and out in order to obtain my license. I also had to take 5 years of night classes. If I install or repair electrical equipment improperly, I can be sued for everything I own. I am totally accountable to my customers. Police are accountable to nobody. This must end.
He finessed the police with their own game. “If he apologizes, I wont take this to litigation.” Sounds very similar to how police interrogate suspects, “If you work with me, I’ll (insert some fake benefit to the suspect).” Then he got the supervisor to record the deputy’s confession. Amazing work.
That really was an incredibly slick trap Mr. Martinez executed. Getting that assist from the supervisor was next level mind-fu@kery. Easiest payday ever if Mr. Martinez pursues litigation. I'm certain they'll settle once these two idiots realize how they've screwed themselves right out of any defense.
“You didn’t give me your ID? We’re gonna do a kidnapping on you then, illegally search your car then try to impound it.” The egos on these cops is unbelievable.
I am mixed on this , he had reasonable articulable suspicion a crime had been committed . A call of trespassing and theft had been received . The investigation showed a person matching the description was there and going thru a car he didn’t have the keys to . I think they should have detained him and then investigated more but I think they had PC to hold him to ascertain his identity at least . Not failure to ID as he didn’t have to until he was arrested .(dependent on state)
@@TheMandalorianRedeemed did you watch the video? He explained the same story at least 6 times lol the cop refused to contact the junk yard to confirm the man’s story. Instead he tried to bully him into giving up his ID for literally 0 reason.

This cop should have been fired. He knowingly unlawfully arrested this man and impounded his car and given the opportunity to apologise and squash this issue the cop refuses. He’s now going to cost the taxpayers a lot of money.
@@colinofay7237 No, I can prove it, with nothing more than basic logic, that good cops don't exist, and they actually CAN'T exist. If they mess up, and accidentally hire a good person to be a cop, then rather quickly the cop will witness a bad cop either violating rights, violating policies, or downright breaking the law. When they do, they have a choice: 1. They can report the bad cop, so that justice and fairness can ensue. 2. They can cover up for the bad cop, by not reporting the actions. If they choose option 1, then they will be retaliated against, bullied, pushed out of the department, or in extreme cases, framed for crimes. If they choose option 2, then they BECOME a bad cop, in that moment. Good cops don't exist, because there are no departments that don't make mistakes, and none of those mistakes, ever meet true justice. If good cops existed, then they would run the bad cops out of the departments. But that isn't the culture. Pig culture is pro-pig, not pro-citizen.
I missed the beginning where ATA explained that, and when I heard Joel say "a call is not reasonable articulable suspicion" it clicked that it was him lol this dude already has signature moves against corruption
Let's be honest. He will be arrested, charged, and subsequently disbarred after an incident that is conveniently not on video. We all know how this works.
he also will probably get a settlement since the cost of the court hearing is greater than him being payed off. i got 50$ for not fighting my speeding ticket because i wanted the radar gun tested.
He said if the cop apologizes he won’t take this any further. The cop comes out and the guy asks is there anything you want to say to me. The Cop said no. Wrong answer pal.
I agree now in my opinion I think qualified immunity was created cause they know they hire crooked people and they know potential lawsuits are going to happen
If cops told the truth: "Hey brotha, I got called out here because someone seen someone else... I don't know what I'm doing or who I'm looking for so go ahead and put your hands behind your back, I'll identify you back at the station when you're locked up and you'll get money that comes to the city through taxes. Me? I'm going to try and blame you for me not caring enough to learn how to do my job properly and I'll probably get a few days off this time. Thanks for understanding and not defending yourself physically."
@@darkhoboI wouldn’t say there isn’t a single one. Surely there are aspiring attorneys out there that work in law enforcement. My FIL was one. I also worked as a CO for a while and at a PD for an even shorter while. Definitely not the line of work for me. But, during my training, one of the first things we went over was constitutional rights. The very first thing we learned was that “You cannot trespass the eyes”. I can’t imagine no other academy’s are teaching this, but the one I went to. It’s very disheartening, because I’m not so naive to think we don’t need peace keepers. Every civilized society needs people of sounds mind and integrity to protect those who can’t/ won’t protect themselves. I’m also not a bootlicker and believe everything a person tells me just because they’re a police officer. I’ve seen my fair share of wrongdoing during the 2.5 years in the profession. The thin blue line is real. But, in a way, I kinda understand why it’s real. Those guys and gals, good or bad, see s*** on a daily basis that change them over time. Some will never live a normal life. Could you imagine working in a big city where everyday you see overdoses (body has s*** and p*** all over it), dead children and babies, shootings, stabbings, domestic abuse… the list goes on and on…It’s not normal for someone to witness these things on a normal basis. On the other hand, I do believe we should vet our officers to the highest degree reasonable and make mandatory constitutional and de-escalation trainings every year.. along with a few others. But the most important should be the prerequisites required to get into the profession. The polygraph I took was a joke. An idiot could have passed it. A person who holds the authority to take freedom away from another should be held to the highest standard. No exceptions. And should lead by example. If caught doing something malicious or nefarious, the officer should be black listed, never allowed to work in the profession again, and possibly charged (depending on the violation, of course). Most importantly, it should be mandatory to at least have an associated degree in criminal justice to even be considered. Why is it that the department of natural resources requires a degree in most states, when police departments likely do not? Shouldn’t it be the other way around ? At the end of the day, I hate a dirty f****** pig, but I’m a reasonable person and can’t just label them all bad because of the actions of a few rogue officers. Well… maybe more than a few… a lot of rouge officer, but that would be the same as saying all black people are criminals because 30% of crimes are committed by 15% of the population. It simply isn’t true.
Lol why is the law treated so poorly? You can instantly ruin someone’s life by improper procedures. Officers do this all the time & nothing happens to them. It should be treated like the medical profession & get stripped of their badge & practice.
. The kid also has an ego. It goes both ways. Why threaten with a lawsuit. Just do it if you are gonna do it. Nothing was gonna make it right. He unlawfully arrested him and that’s that.
@@Jeremy-wp4yh nah I don’t think it is. wtf is a sorry gonna do. If he’s gonna take legal action he should just do that and not just say he is going to.
He does seem like he’s studied quite a bit, but overall he needs to mature first, he seems to enjoy creating incidents to bait cops so he can show off on UA-cam. If he keeps this up, then one of these days an officer might decide to “fear for their life”.
The Deputy lied to the face of his Supervisor. For that, his contempt, his ignorance of the Law, mocking of the student etc he deserves to go. Such an ignorant arrogant cop . Very dangerous
Agreed! They were going the way of essentially saying he was breaking into it, and didn't seem to believe it was his. Then when it came to towing it and searching it, then it was no problem. Unbelievable
They did that with my brothers stereo when it was stolen. The fact that it was a very rare German brand was enough in court to prove it was his & stolen, but when he tried to get it back after the court case, all of a sudden he didn’t have enough evidence that the stereo was his (even though it had his bands CD in it). It supposedly went to auction, but they wouldn’t even tell him the auction day for him to go buy it back.
Yes and if just purchased there’s no way it was done by calling in upon approach, as there’s no way ownership had transferred or title put in his name yet!

Martinez was being very nice to the cop, explaining why he was there, he wasn't auditing, he wasn't being anti-police.

People still argue that we are not in a police state.
Yes, you are on point......we have evolved into a police state, because citizens have allowed cops to behave as they wish without accountability.....overdue for change.....
Why do cops think you're legally required to help them with their investigation, just because someone called and complained on him. They should require a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice to be a cop... not just a 90 hour course.
@@Sirianot134 Not at all departments. Baltimore, where I live, does a 90 hour class within its Academy training program called "Stops, Searches and Arrests".

@@madtabby66 it is def him. wouldnt be surprised if he lost his keys on purpose after the traction from his dorm video. probably wont be the last time we see an audit involved with him. good for him
I hope this law student realizes that even though he was let go, the arrest is still an arrest record. He needs to fill out a form that entitles him to have this arrest record removed from all databases. Otherwise, he will show up as being arrested even though there was never any conviction.
Read your post again you answered your own question. He is a what now? A LAW student, pretty sure based on this interaction he has a good understanding of what his rights are and what is required of him.
I think Joel is my favorite reoccurring character on your show, this guy is going places and knows the law better than most of our countries police force. Keep up the good work.
The fact that there was a locksmith there leaned towards his story being truthful. It was clear that junkyard didn't call or he would have said that. So it was some random Karen calling about a "suspicious person." So he wasn't even investigating a crime.
Can you imagine the founders hearing that "We got a call" completely nullifies the entire constitution and all of our rights until the cops' curiosity is satisfied, they grow tired of tormenting us, or until their hurt feelings are soothed?
They turned Tyrant before the ink was dry on the Constitution. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. That's one of the reasons so many migrated to the lands in and west of the Appalachians after the Revolutionary War. They sought to get away from central government and experience real Liberty for themselves and their families. Their descendants still think that way to this day.
Requirements to be a lawyer: 7+ years of advanced training of the law and its statutes, ending with an incredibly difficult exam before one is allowed to practice legally. Requirements to be a police officer: A working pulse and a handcuff fetish.
I'd have to give the supervisor a lower rank just based on how quickly he jumped into the conversation as soon as he heard the deputy may lose qualified immunity. Like he seriously was like "uh oh let's stop this here. Can't have you facing consequences for your actions now can we?"
Truee, @AuditTheAudit also gets an F for not giving the supervisor an F. Who was completely on his police departments side even though he knew the story.
@@Zorklis- I understand why he didn't give him an "F". This supervisor is one of the FEW who actually unarrested him and gave him back his car. Most don't. MOST have to go to trial. HOWEVER, I certainly wouldn't give him an A-. I could understand a B minus or C.
@@wvrjl One of the FEW? He was the only one and even then he did it because he knew his department did not follow the law so he tried to cover it by doing some very sketchy things other comments have pointed out.
There just shouldn't be any form of qualified immunity. Cops should be fully accountable for following the law, and their actions when they break the law like any other person.
That’s 99% of cops. Quotas on tickets and run everyone’s name. This is just blatant misuse of power and he tried to scare him into giving him his information. When we all know Joel was doing nothing wrong and never had to give up his ID.
It's not about the ID, It's about the heirarchy of power for them. They are trained to literally never back down or retreat from any situation they've escalated.
3 things, 1-Its a power move. 2-check for warrants and known history 3-have it record that he stopped you for suspicion and they will use that to mess with you more the next time you are stopped hence "known history".
Love it at 20:00 that the officer's knew the law student flat out said he lost qualified immunity that he knew he was toast. Even the supervisor knew it
Yeah, which is why when supervisor told the officer/deputy to go, it was very sketchy, especially with improper complaint form filling. basically saying "Yeah I'll file it later..making it look not as bad and missing some details since you won't be here"
@@everythingpony- When he sues for violation of various rights, such as the 4th Amendment when he demanded ID and searched his car, the violation of his right to freedom of movement, when he was arrested. Basically, they kidnapped him and stole his car.
He knew the law in texas, the second the officer informs him he is under arrest, he attempted to comply as he was now required. Can you really give the supervisor an A- when all of his officers involved failed so miserably?
This is literally Turner vs Driver playing out in front of our eyes. This cop has just given this kid an air tight lawsuit. The state of Texas has just paid for this young man's law degree.
Much respect for you man. Obviously you know your shit and you do a phenomenal job explaining everything so please don't take this as an insult or a criticism, I personally wish it was just the clip without all the explanation BUT you're teaching people so they can be prepared for these situations. That is so much more important than my entertainment so definitely don't stop the in depth explanation cuz I will continue watching regardless. You are doing God's work my man. You have probably saved a ton of people from being bullied by cops I bet. So thank you so much for your work dude
The supervisor stepping in and releasing this young man.. didn't see that one coming. Half the time it is the supervisors doing this crap and on top of that, how often do we see prosecutors refusing to drop the charges. Its amazing how if ONE person in the chain says "hey, thats not right" it saves someone from the stress, monitary concerns, and dealing with months or years of the legal process. This is very eye opening, if its this easy to fix a "mistake" then why are so many made and not caught..
@@David-bf6bzespecially when his ass damn near had a heart attack at the mention of qualified immunity. The joy I felt hearing the panic in that supervisors voice was immense.
I love how cops say “it’s up to you” when it’s about complaining or litigating. And as soon as he told the other officer he lost his qualified immunity, the supervisor shuts down the conversation. PD is a gang
That's my favorite thing I've learned while researching police stuff for writing assignments. They honestly care more about the department than anything. They prioritize rewarding officers for being loyal to the PD rather than holding up the law to the best of their ability. It's why internal reviews are such a joke. Cause 9 times outta 10 the reviewing officer won't speak out on any findings unless it is so bad that it's impossible to cover up
Exactly! That's why ATA deserves dislikes for saying the supervisor was a breath of fresh air because he "was willing to admit to his deputies mistakes"... only because he didn't want litigation, but once that entered into the conversation again he shut down the lawful citizen and was on his officers side and told them to go.
@@Zorklis- At that point it doesn’t matter because they already got a confession. That cop would have lost his qualified immunity had Mr. Martinez decided to file a lawsuit against him.
"Now you're making this bigger than it is" the cop says as he REFUSES to let the issue go, think of resolving the situation quickly and call the property manager as the next step of his investigation -- then gaslight, gaslight and gaslight some more "I'm being nice!" he says as he makes an arrest that he KNOWS wasn't necessary knowing there were more avenues to proceeding with the investigation
This kid is a true patriot and one of the few people who make a great impact in our country to educate law enforcement that they’re not the judge, jury and executioner. He exercises respect, and intelligence in a way that I think will be the only way to truly make change in this country’s failed policing system.
The right to remain silent doesn’t mean he must remain silent. He chose to continuously try defuse the situation by explaining what the officers were doing wrong. They chose to ignore the laws and advice from a law student.
Because there is absolutely no way in hell ANY CIVILIAN could possibly be smarter then a cop that only had a couple months of training, no way, not possible. Cops are the smartest, most honest, hardest working upstanding humans on the face of this earth and honestly we the people should bow to them 😂. How pathetic, so many cops like these cops out there with absolutely no soul, no brains, but doesn’t matter this cop won’t be punished and tax payers will pay the bill while the moron cop keeps doing same bs and they wonder where the hate comes from and why the people are taking law into their own hands
When you swear to uphold the constitution then violate those rights. You should immediately go to prison for 2 years and never be allowed to be work as a government employee
SOMEBODY BUY THAT YOUNG LAW STUDENT A COLD BEER!!! He's earned it! He stayed utterly cool, calm and collected under rather trying circumstances. I'm impressed!
Be careful, last time he had a beer the cops tried to unlawfully search his dorm! He dealt with that one just as well as this one, he's gunna be a great lawyer
When that happens the city pays, the residents' taxes go up to cover it and they never go down once it's covered. The officer gets to keep his job and probably gets some paid time off. Tell me again how that's a good thing?
All the arresting cops had to do was talk to the junkyard to verify if Martinez' claim was accurate or not, which given that they were right outside it would've been a simple thing to do. Instead they tunnel visioned on not getting ID even though a last name was given & illegally arrested him for it. That's bad enough on its own but the arresting officer also refused to properly apologize for his actions when given the opportunity to do so. Good on Martinez for knowing & standing up for his rights, good on the supervisor for releasing Martinez immediately once learning of what happened rather than immediately take his co-workers side & though unlikely hopefully the arresting officer was sternly disciplined/punished or fired for his behavior.
@@firemedic2442 Incorrect. QI is the very thing that permits you to to sue the employer, for the actions of the employee. If a Walmart checker commits a crime against you, you can't sue Walmart for that, without proving they were somehow negligible in their management of the employee. Without QI, the same will be true of police departments. You can't win a lawsuit for negligence against the employer, when you already won the case against the employee, without additional misconduct by them, beyond the actions of the employee. These are facts. This is how the law works. It doesn't really matter what your opinion is, or mine.
@@Tijuanabillhaving lawsuits be against the individual officers instead of the department, would do a lot more to persuade individual officers to follow the law and not trample on peoples rights. As satisfying as it is for a victim of police violence to recieve millions, that money ultimately comes from the taxpayer and the officer never learns a lesson. Preventing cases of police misconduct is more important than making money off of them. And the only way to prevent them is by getting rid of QI
@@Melaheidi No it wouldn't. Does prison deter murder? If prison doesn't deter murder, then how does having bad credit for exactly 7 years, deter rights violations? You know the cops will immediately file bankruptcy, and never pay a dime, right? Even if they don't, cops don't have millions of dollars. No the deterrent you want, is municipalities going broke over lawsuits, and the public electing a new mayor who puts the cops on a leash. Civil courts are for restitution. Criminal courts are for punishment. We need to make these things a crime, and not just sue cops for 11 cents, or whatever you can collect before they file BK, on the same day as the judgment. They won't even leave the courthouse to file BK.

The investigation showed a person matching the description was there and going thru a car he didn’t have the keys to .

@@colinofay7237 No, I can prove it, with nothing more than basic logic, that good cops don't exist, and they actually CAN'T exist.
If they mess up, and accidentally hire a good person to be a cop, then rather quickly the cop will witness a bad cop either violating rights, violating policies, or downright breaking the law. When they do, they have a choice: 1. They can report the bad cop, so that justice and fairness can ensue. 2. They can cover up for the bad cop, by not reporting the actions.
If they choose option 1, then they will be retaliated against, bullied, pushed out of the department, or in extreme cases, framed for crimes.
If they choose option 2, then they BECOME a bad cop, in that moment.
Good cops don't exist, because there are no departments that don't make mistakes, and none of those mistakes, ever meet true justice. If good cops existed, then they would run the bad cops out of the departments. But that isn't the culture. Pig culture is pro-pig, not pro-citizen.

@@darkhoboI wouldn’t say there isn’t a single one. Surely there are aspiring attorneys out there that work in law enforcement. My FIL was one. I also worked as a CO for a while and at a PD for an even shorter while. Definitely not the line of work for me. But, during my training, one of the first things we went over was constitutional rights. The very first thing we learned was that “You cannot trespass the eyes”. I can’t imagine no other academy’s are teaching this, but the one I went to. It’s very disheartening, because I’m not so naive to think we don’t need peace keepers. Every civilized society needs people of sounds mind and integrity to protect those who can’t/ won’t protect themselves. I’m also not a bootlicker and believe everything a person tells me just because they’re a police officer. I’ve seen my fair share of wrongdoing during the 2.5 years in the profession. The thin blue line is real. But, in a way, I kinda understand why it’s real. Those guys and gals, good or bad, see s*** on a daily basis that change them over time. Some will never live a normal life. Could you imagine working in a big city where everyday you see overdoses (body has s*** and p*** all over it), dead children and babies, shootings, stabbings, domestic abuse… the list goes on and on…It’s not normal for someone to witness these things on a normal basis. On the other hand, I do believe we should vet our officers to the highest degree reasonable and make mandatory constitutional and de-escalation trainings every year.. along with a few others. But the most important should be the prerequisites required to get into the profession. The polygraph I took was a joke. An idiot could have passed it. A person who holds the authority to take freedom away from another should be held to the highest standard. No exceptions. And should lead by example. If caught doing something malicious or nefarious, the officer should be black listed, never allowed to work in the profession again, and possibly charged (depending on the violation, of course). Most importantly, it should be mandatory to at least have an associated degree in criminal justice to even be considered. Why is it that the department of natural resources requires a degree in most states, when police departments likely do not? Shouldn’t it be the other way around ? At the end of the day, I hate a dirty f****** pig, but I’m a reasonable person and can’t just label them all bad because of the actions of a few rogue officers. Well… maybe more than a few… a lot of rouge officer, but that would be the same as saying all black people are criminals because 30% of crimes are committed by 15% of the population. It simply isn’t true.
Lol why is the law treated so poorly? You can instantly ruin someone’s life by improper procedures. Officers do this all the time & nothing happens to them. It should be treated like the medical profession & get stripped of their badge & practice.

"you lost your qualified immunity, right now"
cop trying to downplay the abuse of power by his coworker: "whoa whoa whoa"
Well, that and he knows that that is literally _never_ gonna happen...
Edit: least not in _that_ PD...
This is literally Turner vs Driver playing out in front of our eyes. This cop has just given this kid an air tight lawsuit. The state of Texas has just paid for this young man's law degree.
After attorneys fees, he will probably end up with a 2k dollars.
Thats still money @@dentalcare1
Yeah, not a lot of injury there.
Sure Did!!...
@@dentalcare1dude idk who your getting your information from but he can represent himself..it’s a federal lawsuit
My favorite part is where the officer says that he has to "call the owner to see if it's true" after he arrested the student anyway.
Shout out to that young man. He stood up to stupidity and won in the end.
Man arrested by cops: "you lost your qualified immunity"
Cop who broke the law: "You gone to far. Thing are getting crazy"
😂
The supervisor admitting on video that the arrest was unlawful was honestly such a refreshing change of pace (and great for Mr. Martinez’s case lol)
The Supervisor should be demoted for supporting a Kidnapping/ crime !😊
this is the same kid they messed up and demanded his ID.. looks like a pattern of harassment
And profiling
I thought I recognized him, it was for booze in his dorm room, he made them look stupid then too.😂
Different states though. The booze thing was in NM, this is in TX.
@@madtabby66 True. The cops gave him a break in NM.
@@jeffrielley920 Gave him a break? 😂
Much respect for you man. Obviously you know your shit and you do a phenomenal job explaining everything so please don't take this as an insult or a criticism, I personally wish it was just the clip without all the explanation BUT you're teaching people so they can be prepared for these situations. That is so much more important than my entertainment so definitely don't stop the in depth explanation cuz I will continue watching regardless. You are doing God's work my man. You have probably saved a ton of people from being bullied by cops I bet. So thank you so much for your work dude
The supervisor stepping in and releasing this young man.. didn't see that one coming. Half the time it is the supervisors doing this crap and on top of that, how often do we see prosecutors refusing to drop the charges. Its amazing how if ONE person in the chain says "hey, thats not right" it saves someone from the stress, monitary concerns, and dealing with months or years of the legal process. This is very eye opening, if its this easy to fix a "mistake" then why are so many made and not caught..
He was not doing g the right thing he was trying to CYA
I was thinking the same thing. I’m super surprised the supervisor even let Joel speak! That’s normally unheard of
@@David-bf6bzespecially when his ass damn near had a heart attack at the mention of qualified immunity. The joy I felt hearing the panic in that supervisors voice was immense.
I love how cops say “it’s up to you” when it’s about complaining or litigating.
And as soon as he told the other officer he lost his qualified immunity, the supervisor shuts down the conversation. PD is a gang
That's my favorite thing I've learned while researching police stuff for writing assignments. They honestly care more about the department than anything. They prioritize rewarding officers for being loyal to the PD rather than holding up the law to the best of their ability. It's why internal reviews are such a joke. Cause 9 times outta 10 the reviewing officer won't speak out on any findings unless it is so bad that it's impossible to cover up
Exactly! That's why ATA deserves dislikes for saying the supervisor was a breath of fresh air because he "was willing to admit to his deputies mistakes"... only because he didn't want litigation, but once that entered into the conversation again he shut down the lawful citizen and was on his officers side and told them to go.
It is classic domestic abuser logic.
@@Zorklis- At that point it doesn’t matter because they already got a confession. That cop would have lost his qualified immunity had Mr. Martinez decided to file a lawsuit against him.
Not only is this young man in school! HE IS PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION!!! Would love to see an update on how far this eventual Lawyer will go! God speed😊
He will make a great attorney, defending Good Citizens against corrupt cops like these.
"Now you're making this bigger than it is" the cop says as he REFUSES to let the issue go, think of resolving the situation quickly and call the property manager as the next step of his investigation -- then gaslight, gaslight and gaslight some more "I'm being nice!" he says as he makes an arrest that he KNOWS wasn't necessary knowing there were more avenues to proceeding with the investigation
This kid is a true patriot and one of the few people who make a great impact in our country to educate law enforcement that they’re not the judge, jury and executioner. He exercises respect, and intelligence in a way that I think will be the only way to truly make change in this country’s failed policing system.
The right to remain silent doesn’t mean he must remain silent. He chose to continuously try defuse the situation by explaining what the officers were doing wrong. They chose to ignore the laws and advice from a law student.
Because there is absolutely no way in hell ANY CIVILIAN could possibly be smarter then a cop that only had a couple months of training, no way, not possible. Cops are the smartest, most honest, hardest working upstanding humans on the face of this earth and honestly we the people should bow to them 😂. How pathetic, so many cops like these cops out there with absolutely no soul, no brains, but doesn’t matter this cop won’t be punished and tax payers will pay the bill while the moron cop keeps doing same bs and they wonder where the hate comes from and why the people are taking law into their own hands
I love this guy. Smart as a whip and I hope he is highly successful with being an attorney fighting against this shit.
When you swear to uphold the constitution then violate those rights. You should immediately go to prison for 2 years and never be allowed to be work as a government employee
Bro got the cop to admit he was wrong on camera. Lawyer's gonna tear him up😂
SOMEBODY BUY THAT YOUNG LAW STUDENT A COLD BEER!!! He's earned it! He stayed utterly cool, calm and collected under rather trying circumstances. I'm impressed!
Be careful, last time he had a beer the cops tried to unlawfully search his dorm!
He dealt with that one just as well as this one, he's gunna be a great lawyer
He is going to get paid. I would too.
Well done young man!
That cop never shut up for a second. Ego trip.
- There is my ID
- No, you already failed to ID. You are under arrest.
Lawsuit
When that happens the city pays, the residents' taxes go up to cover it and they never go down once it's covered. The officer gets to keep his job and probably gets some paid time off. Tell me again how that's a good thing?
@@LeCheeZy that's why qualified immunity should END NOW. TAKE IT OUT OF COPS BUDGET AND PENSION AND SEE HOW QUICK THE BS STOPS
All the arresting cops had to do was talk to the junkyard to verify if Martinez' claim was accurate or not, which given that they were right outside it would've been a simple thing to do. Instead they tunnel visioned on not getting ID even though a last name was given & illegally arrested him for it. That's bad enough on its own but the arresting officer also refused to properly apologize for his actions when given the opportunity to do so.
Good on Martinez for knowing & standing up for his rights, good on the supervisor for releasing Martinez immediately once learning of what happened rather than immediately take his co-workers side & though unlikely hopefully the arresting officer was sternly disciplined/punished or fired for his behavior.
This is what you get when you’re required to higher only affirmative action and not full qualified applicants.
It would be great if they did their jobs and investigated a situation before jumping to conclusions.
Thats whys it good to listen
End qualified immunity!
End million dollar lawsuits!
@@Tijuanabill wrong. Monell claims would still exist without QI.
@@firemedic2442 Incorrect. QI is the very thing that permits you to to sue the employer, for the actions of the employee. If a Walmart checker commits a crime against you, you can't sue Walmart for that, without proving they were somehow negligible in their management of the employee. Without QI, the same will be true of police departments. You can't win a lawsuit for negligence against the employer, when you already won the case against the employee, without additional misconduct by them, beyond the actions of the employee. These are facts. This is how the law works. It doesn't really matter what your opinion is, or mine.
@@Tijuanabillhaving lawsuits be against the individual officers instead of the department, would do a lot more to persuade individual officers to follow the law and not trample on peoples rights.
As satisfying as it is for a victim of police violence to recieve millions, that money ultimately comes from the taxpayer and the officer never learns a lesson.
Preventing cases of police misconduct is more important than making money off of them. And the only way to prevent them is by getting rid of QI
@@Melaheidi No it wouldn't. Does prison deter murder? If prison doesn't deter murder, then how does having bad credit for exactly 7 years, deter rights violations? You know the cops will immediately file bankruptcy, and never pay a dime, right? Even if they don't, cops don't have millions of dollars.
No the deterrent you want, is municipalities going broke over lawsuits, and the public electing a new mayor who puts the cops on a leash.
Civil courts are for restitution. Criminal courts are for punishment. We need to make these things a crime, and not just sue cops for 11 cents, or whatever you can collect before they file BK, on the same day as the judgment. They won't even leave the courthouse to file BK.
"Nah, I'm cool, I just wanna exercise my rights."
"Oh so you wanna take it further? That what you wanna do? You wanna escalate? Put your hands behind your back."
I’ve seen videos where cops use the term “constitutionalist” like a swear word
Love when he tells the cop you’ll find out when we get to the station! 😂 love this guy!!! He’ll be a great lawyer!!!
