Always do. Love these. My kids like seeing it too. So they know how to not mess up their future from deception and how to behave in an encounter with officers that aren’t full of integrity
@Scottjon Dansteve after he graded him, he said a bunch of words. Those words were explaining the grade. Why don't you refute something instead of pouting? Or offer up some kind of perspective I'd grade you a D on thinking before you act.
They didn't issue the ticket to keep from looking bad, they issued the ticket as a retaliatory action for not instantly and fully submitting to their abusive authority.
Do you live here yeah, Yeah, sure you do,,, Then you don’t have any donuts in the house yeah, bullshit,,, Where is the lemon pound cake?,,, We need to confiscate that too,,,
I got arrested for breaking and entering into my own house . I wasn't too mad though because I did take the air conditioner out of one of the windows since I locked my keys in the house . What made me mad is they took me to jail and charged me with a felony B&E after looking at my ID . When I went to court I handed the judge the very same ID and he immediately dismissed the case . He was very unhappy with the cops .
What state is this? There's shitty cops, but charging you with a felony after providing adequate proof of residency is entering the realm of retardation.
I was arrested for public intoxication on my own property after calling the police for myself being assaulted. Went to court by myself with no lawyer, spoke to the DA for all of 20 seconds explaining the ordeal and she dropped the charges instantly.
Yea, I've been arrested for someone ELSE assaulting me and it was so bad the ticket that was written was a minute behind them being dispatched, they had my mom's name incorrect, they had the street name that it happened on wrong, (they literally said it was the next street over and not on OUR property which it was on OUR property) and when I talked to the DA she dropped the charges provided I didn't get in trouble for like 6 months, (which was easy because I don't get in legal trouble). Like it's so bad how cops behave. The cops even came in like they KNEW I was in the wrong, with 3 of them vs me and already had plans on arresting me without even hearing my family's side of the incident. And police wonder why the public doesn't trust them.
What’s disgusting is you know the one cop did not seriously suspect the homeowner had mental health problems, he was angry that the homeowner did not unquestionably submit to his authority and was considering abusing his power as a police officer to involuntarily commit the homeowner to punish him.
Well, you are not suspicious to them when you wear 30 000 dollar clothes, have a million-dollar ship, and other stuff. This means every ordinary person, who is relaxing enjoying a little bit of nature, is suspicious. The cops and authorities should be grateful that the air is clean, that the forests are not in the fire, that people enjoy spending some time in the forest and doing sports. I didn't know that forest is somebody´s property unless the person is living in some castle, which includes part of the forest. Forests are usually the property of the state, and everybody has the right to go there and exercise. You should walk every day in nature for minimally 45 minutes, to avoid dementia, Alzheimer's, etc.
Yeah i am sorry but this is not the way talking to a cop... it makes you seem really suspicious..This is not how you answer questions and try to defuse the situation.
You can't be trespassed from a property except by the owner of the property or an agent acting on behalf of the owner. Neighbors can't trespass someone from their neighbors property.
@@Funkbass85 No, because an agent must be someone who has been delegated authority through a legally binding relationship (contract, kinship) or has verbal/written authorization to do so. The cops could only do that if the verified property owner, or their agent, gave them that authorization. The moment you call the cops and tell them you want someone trespassed from your property and you make contact with the responding officer and agree to go through with it, only then are they able to act as your agent in trespassing someone. The responding officers must make all reasonable effort to make contact with the property owner or their agent and verify that status before trespassing someone. These guys are posterboys for the endemic problem of cops not wanting to make any reasonable effort to do anything and instead choose the path of least resistance that works most of the time: abuse of authority and intimidation. And they get upset when that doesn't work.
@christianastorga4565 with your mindset, your neighbour(s) or law enforcement could trespass you from your property while you sleep in your bed (breathing, bathing, cooking, eating, etcetera).
I don't know how many times I've broke onto someone's property late at night with an extension cord and lights so I could do yard work. Brilliant detective work Colombo
The neighbor never claimed it was “her” property as the officer said, but possibly a utility. Therefore, no valid claim of trespass could be made and a warrant would be necessary for entry by the officers.
Is anyone else horrified by how much power someone has when they call the police. They get to say anything and the police believe it. Someone can have a grudge on you call and say whatever on you
this is another topic that get swept underneath the rug I'm actually really surprised he hasn't brought up Tim pools recent events. the event happened during a live stream and of course he won't speak about it because he knows the truth about the wonderful phone call.
The moment the second officer refused to give his name and badge number is the moment he earned the distrust of the civilian. The officer jumped to conclusions right off the top. This escalation was entirely unnecessary.
@JohnnyNoPockets aka Who Dat Gamecat yes. I am not sure what the federal ruling would be, but many states have a mandate requiring self identification from police officers, so it has become common practice. However, most civilians are either too trusting or too intimidated by the police interaction to ask for that information. Therefore, there is a pretty big chance that the person asking is going to file a complaint or is being intentionally disruptive/confrontational. That seems to be the assumption this officer made.
Yeah the 1st cop seemed pretty friendly/reasonable, the other seemed completely unreasonable and took complete charge of the situation which made it worse.
It's really time we set some standards regarding the power given to random callers. It's getting out of hand. It's wild how they automatically deem random callers as trustworthy and their information as factually accurate. Suspicion is not a crime and what is suspicious to one may seem perfectly normal to another. Sometimes it seems like the caller could simply say "Hey I see someone across the street, go arrest them" and the police would seriously consider blindly complying.
True! And falsely accusing people. Someone calls the cops and says this person did this to me. They come and arrest you and you have to prove you are innocent. Innocent until proven guilty what a joke!
I agree. A caller should be liable to be put in prison if they reported wrong. Edit: if the police will use the phone call as the most credible thing they saw. Then why are they getting paid so much? Aren’t they the ones who are supposed to determine all the facts? Okay he is suspicious …. Now what…let’s set up a perimeter and determine the facts. What are we allowed to do and not do. In the military (RCA) we have the 5 whys. Ask why after every answer and if there is no answer for the remaining why’s then something is really off and wrong.
J'accuse by Emile Zola regarding Alfred Dreyfus. Look it up. It basically boils down to being able to point your finger at a person and saying "I accuse you of (reasons)" and the person is automatically guilty and thrown in a cage. So, you are absolutely correct. The cops believe the woman but not the man? But, let's be honest. The guy could have helped himself a little bit. SHOW UP FOR COURT. Then he can due the township for $$$ for violating his civil rights.
Why would you assume we need to limit the power of "random callers"? They have none. 100% of the validity given to any particular call is assigned to it by dispatch. Additionally, in many localities they are required by law to respond to all calls. Fact is, this has nothing to do with random callers so long as they're not abusing the policing system (IE: false police reports) this (and most calls) can be resolved if the officers responding did a non-intrusive investigation and allowed for the presumption of innocence. In this case (episode) all the cops had to do was knock on the front door of this dudes house while one of the two officers detained (stood next to) the owner. If nobody answers the door, they have no report of trespassing from the land owner (because he's standing with them and would not have reported himself) so they have no grounds to arrest.
And there it is, every time a person asserts their rights these cops are so dumbfounded they think the person is mentally ill. This means the public and the police need to be schooled on this better. Your channel is a great resource and it should be viewed by police and citizens. Thank you for your dedication.
I mean... To be fair, the suspect wasn't exactly all that bright either. He kept on invoking the fifth amendment, but kept on talking in the most suspicious of ways possible, despite being innocent. He was provocative and evasive. Putting on the tough guy act when he should have just kept his mouth shut. The cop didn't handle it properly, but I can't completely pin the blame on him either. Just a case of two idiots colliding.
That was the funniest thing to me. Wanting to arrest someone for "scaring people half to death" for working on their property. I think Karen needs to go back to bed or mind her own business. Maybe get a new hobby like putting puzzles together or sewing instead of spying on her neighbors at 5 in the morning.
Welp, without the police, situations like these would end with a few buckshots fired, and trespassers killed. Now *I* wouldn't mind that kind of society, but a lot of people would. If it wasn't that cops choose to be the coercive arm of a corrupt state, and were simply to solve cases like these, I'd feel bad for'em.
Im honestly upset he didn't just tell them "uh no... you're trespassing get off my property and leave me alone" I got a lot of respect for people like this cause if I were on my own property WORKING I woulda flipped em off and kept going
So true. I understand how annoying it is when a random cop turns up and demands identity, or proof of ownership. But .... rather than argue over civil rights, would it not be simpler to say "Sure officer, here's my driving licence, my water bill, " whatever ?
@@trilliarobinson7862 No, because then the police think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want. Just like Roscoe P Coletrain here thinking that he can do whatever the hell he wants to this landowner based literally on a neighbor's phone call.
@@trilliarobinson7862 If you let this slide you're not going to be far away from neighbours who don't like you calling the cops on you and claiming they saw you step into a car that's not yours but theirs. Hoping some trigger happy cops answers the call. Is that the country you want to live in where cops just step up to people demanding you proof first something is yours before you can use it?
@@otmanh That IS the country that the US seems to be morphing into. Yes, of course it is wrong, but in cases like this, how hard would it have been for the man to simply step into his own house and find a bill or letter, or something, proving it is his. yes, it is police harassment, yes, he shouldn't have to do it. But in today's climate, getting into discussion with a police officer seems to be classed as "resisting arrest". Also, since these encounters are seemingly always recorded, better to appear to be co-operating, than appearing to resist. Humiliating, certainly. crazy, possibly. But sensible ? Maybe.
I wanted to let this channel know that I’m in fire/EMS, and I have a buddy the other day tel me he watches this channel once I mention I did. Thing is? He’s a cop. He studies what citizens rights are, and even informs them of things he knows when asked on the job. He uses this as a tool to be a good police officer. Good stuff. This channel may slowly help change things after all.
Not Audit the Audit here because he failed to mention critical things. The cops have no basis to charge him on his private property, making any charges they try to put on him even after finding out it was his property illegal. They did not ask to be on his property, and he should have put trespassing on those Officers for illegally being on his property and failing to conduct a proper investigation. I suggest watching other people like Direct D, San Joaquin Valley, or LackLuster who are far better channels, or Delete Lawz who actually teaches law.
Sadly though you can be a good person but not a good cop nowadays because the way everything's gone so corrupt with a lot of the cops being good cops because they keep their quota by doing stupid s*** and arresting people that don't deserve it they let the actual criminals get away now your friend who you say is a good cop hats off to him I'm proud of him is there a very few of them in the world now so I'm happy that he informs people that he talks to about their rights and everything
@@mitchellturnbull3988 Good to hear, maybe a B is ok every once in a while, people do make mistakes. I really like good cops but i really hate the system as a whole and all those bad apples we've seen in so many of these videos. I hope your friend makes it and can influence his co-workers
The scariest part of this encounter is when the officer alludes to committing mr Jones to a physiatric facility for simply standing up for his civil rights. That is terrifying……I’m really surprised that audit the audit didn’t highlight that.
We got to chose our battles tho. Im sorry but if im walking around my home with items on my jands at darl, and a cop gets called, i would say i do live here doind some work or just returning shit to place. This is my id pr paperwork if new tenant. And say thank you for coming to check a suspicious person at night in a neighborhood with families and elderly.
@Jimmy from Philly . I dony swallow boots and just like people dony want to bother with respectfully exercising their rights, perhaps tneu should not ever call cops for break ins and dangerous sitiations. Because what if the same asshikes show uo asking yoit name again. Proof of residence to make sure who belongs there and not. Exercise the second ammendment as well so you can protect your home and person. Because idiot co, bully cops might not know the laws and we eouldnt want to violate a burglar rights, to bare arms during a break in. Or kidnapping or rape, maybe kids alone after school need cops help many tnings can happen. So maaybe this auditors here should
When that Cop said "I really think you have some mental issues going on." Is TERRIFYING. THIS, right HERE, is why can can not allow our rights to be eroded, and we must excersize them. Because if that Officer could, he would have HAPPILY stolen this man's freedom just because the guy didn't thank him for forcing himself into the man's life. The Officer probably went home and told his Wife about this "crazy guy", not realizing that he himself, is the crazy, authority drunk, tyrant.
Well put. Yes, up until that point, the cop was an ignorant, arrogant, misinformed public servant on a power trip. But that threat tipped it over into a whole additional level of threat and ethical violations. Wow, just wow.
I used to work hospital security and part of our job was dealing with behavioral unit patients who were admitted under an emergency detention order by police. So many were normal people who just said the wrong thing or the caller lied. Normal people get stuck on a hospital by force and I had to keep them there, all because of shitty police work
@@ThereIsNoOtherHandleLikeMine And yet, they do it all the time. They routinely trespass on to private property to ask you if you're allowed to be on said property, like it's any of their business. If you're half way through a window then I understand, but if you're doing yard work then mind your own business.
@@SimBir08 Actually, it is impossible for a cop to determine if someone is trespassing. No charges can be filed unless the property owner is involved. Until they contact the owner, they have NO IDEA.
An officer can only go off based on what is in front of them. Instead of playing ring around the rosy, He could had proved he had a right to be there, within 30 seconds those cops would been back in their car.
@@joevsyou is that how the law works? Officer can just threaten to arrest anyone until you prove you are not guilty? If I'm leaving a bank the officer can arrest me for robbing the bank until I prove I just withdrew my own money? I thought an officer needs a reasonable suspicion based on specific and articulable facts, taken together with rational inferences from those facts that a person had, is, or about to commit a crime. Not an "inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or hunch" Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968)
I agree but you do have to understand how people could see that as suspicious behavior. I think there were many issues with the officer’s investigation, however the problem would’ve been resolved much quicker had the homeowner just proved his innocence. He made the situation significantly more difficult than it needed to be.
@@LemonPlatypus Why does he need to prove he lives there? If the old woman said he is tresspassing her property why not ask her to provide proof that this is her property?
@@davidustoa6432 I feel like it’s not that deep. It was clearly a mistake by the neighbor, but she had reason to believe that someone was doing something suspicious in/near her yard. Say, for instance, it was a person trespassing, is she supposed to just let that go? I’m all for exercising your rights, but this whole ordeal could’ve been avoided had he just shown proof that he lives there. I understand he doesn’t have to show proof, but that just escalated the situation. It causes him no harm to simply provide his address and prove he lived there.
@@LemonPlatypus Police is the one that should de-escalate, not the suspect, they are supposedly trained for that. As the video said, they could just investigate, knock on the door of a few neighbors and ask if they know him. But that cop did everything to assert his power and escalate the situation.
@@daviddiebold7357 The angry cop said the woman claimed to be the owner. That's not what was stated at the start of the story. Angry cop seems to have lied to escalate the encounter and justify his violence.
@@daviddiebold7357 The woman never claimed to be the owner, that was a lie told by the cop. If you watch the whole video, she said she didn't know whose property it was and thought that the person on it might be someone with a utility company.
Even if it wasn't his property, the cops can't trespass him unless he's asked to leave the property by the property owner or a duly authorized representative of the owner and then he fails to do so.
The cop ultimately resorted to personal attacks against the citizen, telling him to "lay off the UA-cam stuff" and suggesting mental health problems. Personal attacks are often used when cops don't have a strong argument. Again we see police overreaching, an all too common problem.
@R R more over Audit the Audit suggesting that these officers go door to door in Rural Arkansas before 6 in the morning.. WHAT?

Land ownership is a matter of court documentation. It is unwise to attend any court hearing if you have proof the local government is corrupt or otherwise is a criminal. If the court allows popo to round ppl up b/c they have been permitted (literally) to be someplace or do something, then why not _BURN_U.S.A._TO_THE_GROUND!!!
You assume that they put in any more effort to ensure that he was served notice of the hearing than they put into staying in their own lane. Would it really be so surprising if it turned out that they accidentally on purpose botched that too as an easy way of giving themselves a free pass? All they would have to do is have a believable excuse for how they did their best to make sure he got the memo even if it was total bullshit, like sending it to the address of the neighbor whose property they claimed he was on and then trying to pass it off as an honest mistake or something because they just got the addresses confused when they were filling out their paperwork. Would it really surprise you if they did something like that in retaliation?
Watch new video of Dui Guy.. He s a lawyer. He was asking the officer in court about the field test... Dui Guy asked him, Do you write down only the informations that are negative, from your observation, but you don´t do the same about the positive observations that are helpful to the client, the driver. ...so anything that is helpful to him, you don´t write down. It seems cops are not trained to write down also the positive observations.
@@OfficialUA-camAlgorithm We still have only the cops' word that somebody reported him being on their property. And we all know that cops never lie.

They were so desperate for something that they could make sound plausible that by the end they even tried to play the psych hold card. But sure, I suppose that was all part of the job.

But you have no 5th amendment rght to remain anonymous. The individual asked the officer to ID himself to deflect the officers demand he identify himself. The individual responded to the officers demand with his own demand. The officer was within his right to tell him later. In other words you must answer my question first. I don't agree with the officer initially barking the order of ' c'mere you '. But this man was acting suspicious and being uncooperative. He might of murdered somebody and was hiding in the woods.

Since they failed to inquire any information they basically arrest him for no reason. Also they could have simply started with "noise complaint" to see his initial reaction; maybe the neighbour and him had a history; like territorial dispute or whatnot - the guy assumes he knows what's going on based on one phone call and how he looks and immediately goes like: "why are scaring this old lady" & "your trespassing" which puts him in a defensive position; so he starts stonewalling every question.
As a mental health professional I LOATHE that police threaten mental health holds that are unnecessary! They keep complaining they don't want to be mental health professionals and don't get enough support in mental health, but then pull this crap!
It's awful on those occasions when as soon as someone who is unhinged to any degree simply doesn't understand something or someone, immediately they jump to "you need a mental health specialist/therapist, you're unhinged"; it's BS. I've had family pull this one on me and I just make it clear that they'd be wasting their money and both our time. I guarantee any therapist who sees me would be shocked that anyone thought I needed therapy; I've done tons of deconditioning work and I know my psychology really well. I'm the last person in this family who needs a therapist lol, I'm catlike in that I keep to myself while living my life to the fullest while they bicker and argue over petty stuff all the time. And they wonder why I keep to myself. My best friend met my mom once, and he couldn't help but think she seems like she's incredibly chaotic mentally, that was his main impression of her. I wish there were some way to make her realize this and give her some perspective without provoking instant defense mechanisms, but that's just how it is I guess. I won't stoop to her level and authoritatively pull the mental health card on her. I don't know, mental health is weirdly weaponized sometimes, it's bizarre. "YOU NEED THERAPY" is the biggest cop-out put-down of the 2020s so far I think. I wish there were a magical "perspective button" which makes someone step back and see the obvious bigger picture to whatever it is they're fixated on.

@@notanymore2293 nah. Psychiatric facilities make people hate psychiatrists and mental hospital nurses. Because that's where like most of the abuse happens. But police are part of that cycle. They are part of the reason people who are perfectly fine get sent to these abusive facilities.
Because illegal arrests have to be extremely blatant before they carry personal consequences for the officer committing them - way more blatant than even in this video. Officers can make illegal arrests because the officer has the right to assault and even execute those who physically resist the illegal arrest. And if the people submit to the arrest and fight through the courts it requires time, money, and luck to succeed, and even a successful court case won't personally affect the officer who committed the illegal arrest.

@@tigerbear3038 Unless they're breaking and entering, in some states, they can't arrest them for trespassing without the owner or their agent asking them to leave, unless there are posted no trespassing signs.

The caller claimed he was on her property. It would be more appropriate to have her cited for filing a false police report than it was to cite the owner for failing to identify himself.
i think your mistaken. the cops said that later, but their stories changed a bit. narrator told us the old lady called and said a possible suspicion person was on "the" property. there was nothing false in what she said.

@@ruthellaowens well, no. Not exactly. Unless we have the exact report.. from what audit the audit explained, she never said "her property". Even if she did, it would be within reason for her to believe it could be her property. She could have been mistaken, not filing a false report
At the point where the officer said he had ten chances to answer and didn't know if he'd let him go even if he complied, he made it a personal vendetta, which in itself is unprofessional. Then he started threatening mental health evaluation. Cops don't have the right to continuously threaten charges to force someone to answer their questions. The thing that gets me is they read Miranda rights to people every time they arrest someone, yet they ignore that they have the right to remain silent. How much of a bonehead do you have to be to realize this? At no point did he ever return to the neighbor and further question her if she recognized him or go to the door of that residence to verify anyone in the house knew him. His wife could have just as easily mistaken the cops as thugs approaching her husband and shot them in self defense on her property in the dark... As far as it goes I think the officer should be sent back to the academy for remedial training when they escalate situations by showing disregard of fundamental rights of individuals.
@@lamerica80 not be on my property without my permission? What the fuck do we pay property taxes for if these jackasses can just barge in without the owner's permission?
In reality, I contend there are two grades forr law enforcement officers: A and F. No in between. You can't partially deny someone their natural rights, you can't partially unlawfully arrest someone; you can't partially gin up false charges to make yourself look better. It's either pass or fail, that simple.
After the officer accused the guy of having mental health issues for standing up for his rights, all chances of justifying his conduct went out the window.
Videos like this should be a mandatory part of police training. But I have a feeling departments would rather have officers that simply follow orders than officers that are educated on the law.
Actually they are here in Colorado Springs. In fact they use ATA in the academy classroom. You can bet this one will be in their "Don't be that guy," file.
@@jacklewis100 Yes because you haven't amassed enough evidence to ascertain guilt or innocence. In that case the suspect has, as we all do, the 4th and 5th stating you don't have to assist their investigation into yourself AND if insufficient evidence exists of a crime you can do NOTHING. Not dispelling Officer alarm IS NOT a violation. In fact it's litterally the 5th. Secondly, a neighbor isn't someone who can make a claim that carries trespassing if they can't give an ID, as in this case. Lastly, If someone claimed "I'm the resident and I don't know what's going on," cops could do this. But they don't have that, they have a "Someone is over there." So when the cops said "If you don't convince me you live here that's trespass. It's not because he has no call to compel identity. You and your "But how will they solve crimes without violating rights," crowd need to consider the other option, they need to get good at what they do and adapt to the modern world, like the criminals they face have.

Gen Z are holding shitty people accountable and you're saying that shitty people deserve lesser sentencing because it's still technically a failing grade? You gotta learn how the world works mate
A fence is considered " informed " where I live. If an officer can act on that without the property owner calling them, I'm not sure, logic would say yes in this situation with the neighbor calling it in.
@@Pickleriiiiiick That isn't entirely true. A fenced off area is indeed enough to trespass someone off a property when cops show up. But that doesn't take away the owner of the property or their agent need to be in contact with the police. Logic and law say no. They can't trespass someone unless the owner, or an agent, of the property confirms the trespass. Officers can't trespass people from random private properties just because they feel like it. If the person was doing nothing else to raise suspicion, obviously.
@@simmerke1111 that's a fair breakdown. Issue falls with the suspicion though. Its entirely subjective, wouldn't someone perceived as being aware of the usual activity (the neighbor) raising concerns, fall under suspicious?
Good point - the neighbor reported someone working in the woods at 5 AM, but also stated she didn't know who the owner was. I don't think that would even reach the level of reasonable suspicion for anything.
Most people don't know rhat it's illegal for police to be the plaintiff in a trespass complaint and it's also illegal for police to solicit a trespass complaint from a property owner. Knowing this saved me from a crooked cop in Missouri
The second officer is the reason the entire culture to reevaluate how they interact with the public. The second officer has very obvious anger management issues.
I think it's clear that it's the civilian who has some issues. He could have easily cleared his name but watched one video too many and decided to be uncooperative with the officers. A simple name and address reveal would send the officers on their merry way. I still don't understand how the civilian received a B- instead of a C by ATA.
@@Clouded_Reactions the first cop was fine tho, he was asked his info and gave it, the other one ignored that and refused to believe him AND when he finally gave his address he wanted him to prove it after saying he just wanted to hear the address to prove it.
@@Clouded_Reactions that’s just a lie though because he later provides his address and they still don’t leave. The second officer is also extremely hostile out the get go and doesn’t provide his name or badge number when asked, making him immediately distrustful. This cop was immediately mistrustful and aggressive because he claimed he was trespassing which cannot be claimed as he was not given permission by the property owner.
You can’t charge someone with trespass without being asked to do so by the owner. They have to ask the owner if this person has permission to be on his property and if says no then they still can’t charge him unless he is told he’s trespassing and refuses to leave or he returns
@@alexblanco9687 then what else could he be charged with? I dont have to identify myself on my own property, so no law was broken, if the officer wants to know who I am they can look me up in the property tax records office
I don't agree with it at all, but their response would be that they are "conducting an investigation in response to a call". In many cop's minds, that means they can go anywhere and do anything within 5 miles of that call.
@@Boomer04888 it doesn't really matter what is in their mind. What matters is the law. Which is in place to protect the rights of individuals/ citizens of the United States.
The police assumed that the person that reported Mr Jones was indeed the person who lived in the house that they went to. How do they know that she didn't have a vendetta against Mr Jones for something, that's why a full investigation needs to be done by law enforcement. Before interaction with the person.. they are investigating.
assumed the very thing that person said multiple times to everyone she talked to wasn't the case. "I don't own the property" "i don't know whos property it is". all of the sudden turns into "She said you were on HER property".
I once saw an old lady wandering in my neighborhood, and I was concerned about a possible Silver Alert situation. I seen another video of a old woman who had dementia get tackled by a cop for not being able to follow his commands. This exemplifies why I was, and still am, so hesitant to call 911. Too often it either does nothing or makes the situation far worse.
@@alexier2733 - Yep except nothing was stolen, the woman did pay for the phone with a debit card and walked out without an receipt thus made them think that she stole the phone. I believe the law suit against Walmart is still pending.
I ran afoul of some cops in my early twenties that did something along these lines but more egregious, and falsified their report to justify the arrest. I wish I knew about this sort of thing sooner I would have followed up with complaints and a lawsuit. Thanks for the valuable education
The moment the officers entered the property without a warrant or exigent circumstances they violated this man’s basic constitutional rights. Simple really.
@@cheeseburgero1 right?? Im SO BEYONG TIRED OF RANDOM PEOPLR CALLING THE COPS. I was finishing a phone call outside starbucks and had cops pull up, TO A STARBUCKS IM A KNOWN REGULAR AT
I'm on board with the C- right up until the "arrest him so we don't look like we botched something" moment. At that point, they knew he was who he claimed he was, had a perfect opportunity to say something like "sorry for the inconvenience, but we were just trying to be sure, and now that we are, we'll take you back" showing goodwill, but instead, they showed a lack of goodwill and arrested him to protect any scrutiny of themselves.
@@chriskelso723 They arrested him for obstructing the investigation for refusing to identify himself while detained. He was not charged with trespassing. If he identifies himself, the police would have let him go. For all the police knew, he was a trespasser who was lying to them.
@@mlbhighlights1177 so do you think the cops were right??? It seemed to me that, in the beginning, he may have identified himself however, the cops started being sarcastic and condescending about him living there. The was no reason, at that point, for the cop to act like that.
By this officer's logic, I could call 911 to accuse him of being a pedophile and he'd have to "prove" he isn't or he should be arrested as a pedophile.
"NAWWWTTT "🤣🤣🤣 Never fails to amaze me how angry asserting one's rights makes the police. The fact he threatened a man that carried on a cohesive conversation with him with a mental hold makes me hope this gentleman bankrupts that department.
He's not bankrupting anyone, he did what he did for a reason they just didn't catch, and he fled on top of that...so he is going to jail no matter how badly the cops reacted in this single incident.
A mental health call is a cover for the crimes committed by the cops and prosecutors and judges corrupt to the core. Leaving people with a slandered name and other rights stopped. These are treason committing felons doing this that leads all the way to the white house, from the ground up.That means congress. More people are murdered by vigilante cop and voodoo which doctor to cover up government crime than are gun crime.
So what if you were at work and someone who didn’t belong on your property was there. Should the cop just take his word for it that it’s his house? Wouldn’t you want the cop to identify the person so you don’t get ripped off.
@@Miadolph no one said the cop had to take his word. There was nothing stopping him from looking up the owner of the house. What's wrong with the officer following the law, instead of using threats as a shortcut?
What says he can’t still? He was arrested and booked under false charges. So he can still lawyer up and sue the cops, the department, and the district attorney.
He can still go to court over this. Problem he has is that he missed court for this once. The lawyers, judges, and everybody else will use that against him.
HALE v. HENKEL 201 U.S. 43 at 89 (1906) Hale v. Henkel was decided by the united States Supreme Court in 1906. The opinion of the court states: "The "individual" may stand upon "his Constitutional Rights" as a CITIZEN. He is entitled to carry on his "private" business in his own way. "His power to contract is unlimited." He owes no duty to the State or to his neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his doors to an investigation, so far as it may tend to incriminate him. He owes no duty to the State, since he receives nothing there from, beyond the protection of his life and property. "His rights" are such as "existed" by the Law of the Land (Common Law) "long antecedent" to the organization of the State", and can only be taken from him by "due process of law", and "in accordance with the Constitution." "He owes nothing" to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their rights."
@@Jbolo123 You can't "act shady" on your own property? Tell me, Comrade, exactly what is the State's guidance on how we should and shouldn't act on our own property? 🤔
His neighbor should be ashamed of herself. I refuse to believe this man decided to randomly do yard work early and his neighbor didn't know it would be him in his own yard at 5 am.
The cops should get an F. They are part of the reason all cops are painted with the same brush and the lack of trust much of the public has for them. I agree that Mr. Jones made a big mistake by not appearing to the court date and by not suing.
@Qyx they're on HIS property. THEY were trespassing. You're an idiot if you think this was Mr jones' fault. He was minding his own business on HIS OWN PROPERTY.
@Qyx Agreed, should have complied more. Offered the officers some money and tea as a reward for entering his property without permission. Should have immediately produced papers, apologized, given life story, and been done with it. Plus, 'muh rights'.
Composer Dvořak used to go for a walk to a forest close to his house at 4 am ..then he came home wrote the music and then he went again to the forest and continued to compose there in forests (in Europe) in 19 century. Well, this is America, and it's 21 century so going for a walk at 5 am is a crime. in 21 century. :)))))) All the athletic people who take care of their health are actually criminals.
We give cops a lot of latitude with the assumption they will use it for the benefit of the people. Of course we know that's far from true, thanks to videos such as these.
@@ΣταυροςΡηγας-χ1κ I don't give a damn what the cop was asking for. The property owner had no legal obligation to identify himself. So the hell with those pigs.

They are gonna get the answer either way, whats the point?
Dude got caught off guard. He's trying to figure out wtf is going on. Imagine being in your yard working and the cops show up and are sarcastic when you tell them it's your property and treat you like your a homeless person trespassing. The one cop was completely disrespectful from the jump and had already made his mind up
dude, just because you say its your property doesnt mean its your property. he asked for his address, and what he was doing on the property. He kept skirting around the answer and pleading the 5th. What kind of dumb arse does that?
Yeah, however, just take a second to listen to how suspicious he sounds with his reason for being on the property “uuugh work?”. In my opinion people like this guy, who clearly knows the law, are both wasting their abilities, the officers and his time. I du der stand that in America he was well within his rights, however the law isn’t genesis, and certain laws are confounding and obfuscating both to the public and the police. I’m sorry but I hate auditors like this guy because they tend to take things out of hand so that he can either get a lawsuit against them or just to be “right” and keep completely irrelevant and inane information which could be found as easily as getting his IP address or just politely asking.

Imagine arresting someone for trespass when 1) they haven't been asked to leave, and 2) you don't even know who owns the land and whether they want the person there or not.
They took one look at his facial hair and decided he was a homeless guy squatting, I guarantee it. Cops get a dumb idea in their heads and will twist anything that happens to match that idea until they can make an arrest. "He looks like a homeless guy. He's not identifying, only guilty people do that. Therefore, he's trespassing."
Leaving out how absolutely disgusting this whole situation is, when that cop gets a bit caught off guard at first when the guy says he lives there, the fact that he said “well why are you out here at this time of the morning scaring an old lady” The implication being if you’re on your own property somehow “scaring” your neighbor necessitates that you prove you live there and explain why you are outside being super scary because it’s early in the morning, is pretty damn disturbing.
Yeah I'd have been like "sounds like some old lady is scaring herself, and wasting police time on false reports to boot. Listen officer, if you genuinely feel there's a big bad scary crime going on here, you go and try and convince a judge to issue the warrant for you to save America and the day, otherwise this interactions over. Have a good day."
I wish people would mind their own damn business. If I need you to keep an eye on my property to the point of calling the cops if you see something weird. I will fucking tell you that. Otherwise assume I have it handled.
I think the guy should have just cooperated w/police AND should have let his neighbors know that he might be working early/late in the day. Imagine how many people have been SAVED by police 4 investigating these kinds of calls.
@@allisonlew4508 The guy is NOT required to notify the old bat that he is working on HIS property. He does NOT have to prove anything, the cops (These "Reno 911" rejects) have to prove it. They are just butt-hurt the guy didn't drop to his knees for them...
Had similar situation where I was prepping for laying concrete at around 4:30am because the temp that day was a projected 120. Not sure why the hell they felt the need to call. You can’t get in my house or in my yard unless I buzz you in because of the gates and 11’ wall. And locals know I have cameras everywhere. People these days need to mind their own business.
Incorrect. The officers get an F for threatening to detain him via mental health circumstances. That is unacceptable and an abuse of power. Would definitely take him to court for that.
The guy has obvious metal health issues. He even told the cops he got up at 5am to do some work. Anyone that gets up that early is nuts. I don't wake up till Noon.
Well how do the "tyrants" know he wasn't trespassing. He could of let them know it was his place and proved it then that would be it. But no he had to be stubborn and not say anything. What were they supposed to do? Leave him there? It's not how it works lmao. The neighbors called. They're doing what they were called to do.
I got arrested entering my own house through the window. I know it looked wrong and respected the police for responding but they didn’t let me retrieve my wallet that was in my bedroom to prove I owned the property. I simply locked myself out of my own house. I had pictures of myself hung up through out the house and they still didn’t believe I lived there. My neighbor also came out to justify my presence but no use to my case. I verbally told them my information including my address but he stated my address was visible and not valid. I got booked and was let out after a few hours. It’s still on my record
As a young man I climbed to enter my house about 5 times. (not as simple as climbing over a wall. I had to climb vertically and horizontally until I reached the balcony) Hardly anyone saw me, and no one called the cops. Good luck. Because it was highly suspicious. When climbing was no longer a good option. About 5-10 times I had to manually lift a garage door(at first it was light, with years of disuse it became heavy) It took time and several neighbors saw me. I was slow because I didn't want to get dirty or hurt myself. Just ONE time police patrolled by when I was inside and I had the gate raised with boards. There were at least 2 neighbors outside, a few houses away. But I did get to unlock the front door with keys, put on the clothes I had laid outside, take out the trash, close the gate, and finally close the front door. The cops left as I walked out the front door and put on the coat I had left outside. They never approached, they continued on their way.
@Mike Perez "It’s still on my record" The police consider the record to be legitimate because it records actual happenings that involved the police. There may be no way to force the police to expunge the record.
2:11 Note that the second officer refuses to identify himself after being asked multiple times to do so. He's trespassing and assaulting a citizen while on *their* property but lacks the common courtesy necessary to identify himself!
@Qyx the problem is you shouldn't HAVE to listen to anyone. Especially on your own property. Cops need less power, we don't need to listen to them more. Go do some research kid.
@Qyx The police should know the law and follow policy(which they didn't). You are not required to talk to them period. Stop with the excuses and spamming
@Qyx Nope - he has no obligation to cooperate with officers, answer their questions, or identify. Caller noted they didn't know who owned the property, he wasn't undertaking suspicious activity (like looking in windows, etc.). Officers lacked sufficient reasonable suspicion for a detention (refusal to identify is not grounds for reasonable suspicion except loitering).
Seeing videos like these makes me WAY less likely to "see something, say something" as we were told post 9/11. I'd have to be SURE to call the cops now, whereas before, I might have called them (non emergency number) if someone I didn't recognize was acting weird (imo). I would NEVER mean to initiate something like this. My only interest would be in keeping my neighbors and their property safe. Now I have to worry some crazy cop is going to assault them or an innocent person with a legitimate reason to be doing what they're doing. De escalation techniques are great, but SO often, they just need to know how to not escalate themselves or, for that matter, practically start the conversation with the cuffs out. This stuff is ridiculous and imo goes way overboard.
Every time I believe the officers deserve a F grade, this channel gives an average grade. Maybe not both officers but certainly the more aggressive officer deserves a F. Neither did any investigative work, but he seem to escalate the matter as he was getting frustrated by Mr. Jones, continually saying that he was not going to answer certain questions under his fifth amendment right. Then after the arrest he makes snide unnecessary comments pertaining to Mr. Jones mental health and him being anti-government or anti-police. That officer's conduct was abhorrent.
I used to think the grades were off too. However, if being graded based on other LEO's the grades make sense. Most average officers would behave pretty much like this officer did. So he was about an average LEO. They would only get an F if being graded on if they followed the law. To the average citizen if they were asked what grade they would give a police officer that violated the law, they would give them an F. They would not take into account grading them on a curve based on other police officers behaviors.
And the owner did say it was his property early on and then later tubs asked again as if he didn’t get the answer already and used that lack of response (in addition to the name) against him. It’s silly
So let me get this straight...The Police are investigating the man because a woman said she was concerned.Yet when he said he was at his own residence suddenly the burden of proof is with him and not her. Pretty fucked up.
There's a lot of interesting things in a situation like this one. Firstly, there's a potential difference between a yard/property enclosure and a house. If he was inside of his house there's very little to say that the police had any right to initiate any contact what so ever outside of executing a warrant, or just asking a question. Out in the open on ones own property is treated as different though the differences vary from state to state. Some say if you are investigating a potential crime the police have the right to make contact and question you on the property, but not the house, while others include the property with the house and the police can be trespassed if they are not wanted by the owner. Here it's a strange situation where the owner is not known, and the owner is unwilling to cooperate even as part of his own defense. He isn't under any obligation to, but it does escalate in some circumstances what the cops are able to do. The whole reason why they are there is the "reasonable suspicion" that he is not there lawfully which in many cases does grant them the right to make contact for investigative purposes. It gets wierd around the point of does he have the right to not identify himself. The answer is yes and no. Up till hes under arrest he doesnt have to identify himself, butbrhe police operating under reasonable suspicion to have the right to detain him under the belief that he has no legal right to be there. But what's really odd here is his unwillingness to help himself. Let's take a different approach and say Mr. Jones was inside sleeping, and the police came into his property to investigate a trespasser the old lady reported, and that legit trespasser had confronted the police exactly as Mr. Jones did. Should Mr. Jones or anyone else then be grateful for the trespasser standing up for their perceived rights and leave them be to do whatever? Or would they rather the police not take the suspects word at face value that they are the property owner and arrest them? The police don't know the difference and can't be expected to. Though Mr. Jones may have the right to not identify himself on his own property, the police themselves do/may have the right to investigate a criminal complaint until they are satisfied with the outcome.
He did not say he was at his RESIDENCE and it's not clear if there is a house on that property. If there was, it would have been much easier for the police to discern and sort out the facts. The guy owns some of the responsibility for what transpired.
Absolutely incredible. Cops invade his personal property, then try to make him prove that it's his. The cops level of arrogance and stupidity is legendary.
@@justinsquibb9030that’s why the cops are supposed to attempt to contact the owner of the property So the alleged killer would be exposed pretty quickly.
How so? What else are the cops supposed to do? They need to investigate because trespassing, believe it or not, is a crime, and yes, how “arrogant” and “stupid” they are for asking simple questions. Why is it such a problem for these people to answer them? Does it bruise their ego? Does it make them feel powerful or superior over an established authority? Great, I hope they feel powerful and superior being driven to the police station in cuffs so they can answer the question there and sort it out when they could’ve done it in their own yard and not had to take a step off their property. Absolute stupidity on the part of the homeowner, and for what reason? _”Just because I can“._ No discretion whatsoever, they’re morons.
As soon as a cop tries to claim mental health problems to justify himself. That's when I completely lose all respect for them. They know what they are doing is unlawful and will make any claim to justify their actions
Proving guilt happens in court. The DA not the cops have to prove guilt. Cops just have to believe you are probably guilty (probable cause) to arrest you and bring it to the DA.
Something to add here. Arkansas has a bad habit of not notifying you of your court date. Alot of the property out here is rural so they have to mail it to you. Alot of notices get "lost in the mail". Its possible he didnt even know he was supposed to go to court.
An excellent point. I have a friend that lives literally in the middle of the woods (about 5 miles is his closest neighbor and about 20 miles to the edge of town) that got a warrant on him for not appearing to a jury duty summons. The summons arrived a week after the summons date. Charges were dropped and I think he may have been removed from the jury summons system due to it being clearly unreasonable to attempt to summon him since this was actually the second time this happened (the first time he managed to catch it in time and call in to receive a court date to clear things up). It is so stupid that they still rely on physical mail to tell people about legal action against them.

Seems like more of a F than a C- to me. It’s dangerous the way the officer makes up scenarios to justify his actions that seemed more based on his emotional dislike for someone utilizing their civil rights. All in All love the channel. I Always watch as soon as you upload 😊
Yeah, I'd agree. The hostile and condescending attitude as well. If he's willing to put an innocent person through all that to justify his actions there's no telling what other shit he'd do. Any officer who performs an act of covering up their own mistakes at the expense of a citizens civil rights is an automatic F for me.
"makes up scenarios to justify his actions that seemed more based on his emotional dislike" welcome to Cop Logic, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.
This guy was being difficult because he thought he could make a lawsuit out of this lol the cops did nothing wrong and in fact did everything right if you ask me... Why else wouldn't he have just said his address which would have immediately got the cops on their way?
I think that was the moment the cop realized that he had it wrong, but he had talked himself into such a lather that he couldn't back down. He was looking for alternatives, because he knew that the ID check would prove that he overstepped.
Officers like this do not want people like us to be doing what we are doing. Civil rights are key to keeping our government in its place and held accountable during incidents like these.
...as a necessity for the preservation of a Free State. -2A The constitution is a document of rights _and_ responsibilities. Neglecting your responsibilities as a citizen is how we became overrun by tyrannical governance; hold your servants accountable or let the inmates run the asylum, pray the world does not need to intervene for you...
This cop was pissed and you could tell in his tone when asking if he was anti-government. That shouldn’t matter. That had nothing to do with you just doing your job. Then when he feels forced to give you ID and says he will if you will let him go, the cop tries to find a reason to keep him detained. What a joke
I'd honestly be pissed to with Jones's odd answers and responses along with odd activity. You have to look at this incident without knowing Jones truly lived there which this video gave us the benefit of hindsight by stating it in the beginning. What the police should have done was bring Jones to the door of the property and confirm if he's a trespasser or not as Jones answered no questions at all.
@@jason200912 The police do not decide who a "trespasser" is. The property-owner does. They did not have a legitimate complaint to investigate (And did nothing of any proper "investigation" anyway). As far as being "pissed", so what? A citizen is not obligated to be polite to people questioning him on his own property, and Police should be able to put aside any personal feelings - That's actually a basic part of _what they are paid to do..._
Jones was being unnecessarily suspicious with his answers. The cops didn’t handle it correctly, but what was Jones trying to accomplish by withholding his name and address?
I love how people, especially law-enforcement, are so quick to judge. I also hate how these cops scrutinized this man when this gentleman told them he was the homeowner.
I mean I was sorta on the fence with this one, obviously leaning way more towards the guy....but then as soon as the cop said he thinks he has mental health problems and needed him to be committed to a doctor this cop absolutely failed big-time
I was also a little on the fence until later on. I do think a cop aught to do due diligence if called out. You can't simply believe someone when they say the own the land and then provide no evidence or proof to the fact. Even if they DO own the land it would be a simple thing to just...prove it. Have the cops look it up, they should know who the owner is going out to it. But later on when they started threatening the doctor and saying he was having a mental health crisis...yeah never mind. They were being petty tyrants.
@@RJBond121 you shouldn’t have to prove anything to them lol.. that’s the problem yeah just comply but that’s against the constitution what they’re doing
@@marselse they have reason to believe he is trespassing. Put it another way. Someone breaks into your house, and the neighbor calls the cops because they know you are gone. The cops show up and the person who broke in goes, "oh I live here." Should the cops then go, "Oh okay bye" and let your house get robbed? Or say you own property and a homeless person moves into it and the cops are called by a neighbor. Can the homeless person just say, "oh I live here this is my property." And then have the cops leave? Some proof of claim needs to be shown.
That's called a probe. You say that while watching to see the reaction, someone with a history of mental health issues will react far differently than one without. Actually, even someone severely intoxicated or tripping may freak out. Honestly, this is probably just Mr Jones tweaking on meth and not handling the cops showing up well at all...or he was poaching. Either way, he did NOT conduct himself as a reasonable person on their own property minding their own business... which led the police to make bad calls trying to sort the mess IMO.
The officers deserves a big "F" on this one. Threatening to 6404 (apologies, that's what we call an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in TN, I thought it was a general term elsewhere) someone because they are invoking their civil rights while you are trespassing on their property over hearsay is super fucked up. As usual, cops usually don't care about the laws or the Constitution, just their feeling of authority.
I don't understand the C grade they got either. They kidnapped a man off of his own property doing nothing unlawful and that is considered average grade?
Once he talked about having me checked out for mental health, I would have flat out told him that I know he's retaliating because he's not getting his way and let's roll, because I'd definitely be filling a case.
Exactly - at 1st opportunity, accuse officers of intimidation-harassment-retaliation making otherwise legal acts illegal. Declare you don't want to answer questions, and request a lawyer be present during questioning. Then challenge the continued detention as illegal - how are officers actively investigating if you aren't going to answer questions?
I'm reminded of a case in the UK. The police reacted to a call that a homeless person was in a supermarket bin in the early hours. The police arrested him and he was taken to court for theft. There was an outcry in the press and national radio and TV picked up the story. Everyone gave the supermarket in question a hard time. In their defence the supermarket revealed they were not even aware of the incident. It was discovered the police reacted unilaterally, used the supermarkets name and the prosecutor just went along with it. The case was quickly dropped!
Its amazing that callers can just make facts and police believe it. The fact is "trespassing" negates they must FIRST be asked to leave. Arresting someone of trespassing in "unknown"(though he CLEARLY SAID HE WAS THE OWNER AND EVEN SAID THE ADDRESS) property like this video is extremely unethical.
Thanks for joining us! Be sure to watch to the end to get the full context on this encounter. I know you can do it!
Always do. Love these. My kids like seeing it too. So they know how to not mess up their future from deception and how to behave in an encounter with officers that aren’t full of integrity

Whatever happened to the other, older narrator? I thought I heard like a year ago he had a medical issue and surgery? And that was the last I heard.
@Scottjon Dansteve after he graded him, he said a bunch of words. Those words were explaining the grade. Why don't you refute something instead of pouting? Or offer up some kind of perspective
I'd grade you a D on thinking before you act.
Always!
Giving him the ticket after they KNEW he was innocent to avoid looking bad is what really should wake people up.
They didn't issue the ticket to keep from looking bad, they issued the ticket as a retaliatory action for not instantly and fully submitting to their abusive authority.
Do you live here yeah, Yeah, sure you do,,, Then you don’t have any donuts in the house yeah, bullshit,,, Where is the lemon pound cake?,,, We need to confiscate that too,,,
Oh yeah, there’s no way this is a dirty cop,,,👮♂️
This is the way
And that's what's so sad is they can't admit to when there wrong
I got arrested for breaking and entering into my own house . I wasn't too mad though because I did take the air conditioner out of one of the windows since I locked my keys in the house . What made me mad is they took me to jail and charged me with a felony B&E after looking at my ID . When I went to court I handed the judge the very same ID and he immediately dismissed the case . He was very unhappy with the cops .
Just dropped an identical comment. I never went to court though. They believed me and left once I showed the ID.
i usually side with the cops, but that was wrong.
"Why dont people like us?" -police
That's a lawsuit
What state is this? There's shitty cops, but charging you with a felony after providing adequate proof of residency is entering the realm of retardation.
I was arrested for public intoxication on my own property after calling the police for myself being assaulted. Went to court by myself with no lawyer, spoke to the DA for all of 20 seconds explaining the ordeal and she dropped the charges instantly.
Yea, I've been arrested for someone ELSE assaulting me and it was so bad the ticket that was written was a minute behind them being dispatched, they had my mom's name incorrect, they had the street name that it happened on wrong, (they literally said it was the next street over and not on OUR property which it was on OUR property) and when I talked to the DA she dropped the charges provided I didn't get in trouble for like 6 months, (which was easy because I don't get in legal trouble). Like it's so bad how cops behave. The cops even came in like they KNEW I was in the wrong, with 3 of them vs me and already had plans on arresting me without even hearing my family's side of the incident. And police wonder why the public doesn't trust them.
Good job, had you not done that, they would have just bullied you and run over you, I'm glad you were able to tell your side and get it dropped
Is this supposed to be a good story?
You were arrested wrongfully, and the cops get off scott free?

What’s disgusting is you know the one cop did not seriously suspect the homeowner had mental health problems, he was angry that the homeowner did not unquestionably submit to his authority and was considering abusing his power as a police officer to involuntarily commit the homeowner to punish him.
They're not police officers, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo.

I get so angry when cops or anyone starts flinging mental health against people who are legitimately upset or just exercising thier rights.
@@johnreiner3247 like low IQ trolls on COD
Well, you are not suspicious to them when you wear 30 000 dollar clothes, have a million-dollar ship, and other stuff.
This means every ordinary person, who is relaxing enjoying a little bit of nature, is suspicious.
The cops and authorities should be grateful that the air is clean, that the forests are not in the fire, that people enjoy spending some time in the forest and doing sports.
I didn't know that forest is somebody´s property unless the person is living in some castle, which includes part of the forest.
Forests are usually the property of the state, and everybody has the right to go there and exercise. You should walk every day in nature for minimally 45 minutes, to avoid dementia, Alzheimer's, etc.
Cops are the last people on earth who should be making presumptions about anyones mental health.
Because it’s considered “crazy” to stand up to cops when they unjustifiably approach you. The 911 caller also does not suffer any consequences.😡
Yeah i am sorry but this is not the way talking to a cop... it makes you seem really suspicious..This is not how you answer questions and try to defuse the situation.
You can't be trespassed from a property except by the owner of the property or an agent acting on behalf of the owner. Neighbors can't trespass someone from their neighbors property.
Wouldn’t those cops be an agent acting on behalf of the owner in the presumed owner’s absence?
@@Funkbass85 No, because an agent must be someone who has been delegated authority through a legally binding relationship (contract, kinship) or has verbal/written authorization to do so. The cops could only do that if the verified property owner, or their agent, gave them that authorization. The moment you call the cops and tell them you want someone trespassed from your property and you make contact with the responding officer and agree to go through with it, only then are they able to act as your agent in trespassing someone.
The responding officers must make all reasonable effort to make contact with the property owner or their agent and verify that status before trespassing someone. These guys are posterboys for the endemic problem of cops not wanting to make any reasonable effort to do anything and instead choose the path of least resistance that works most of the time: abuse of authority and intimidation. And they get upset when that doesn't work.
@christianastorga4565 with your mindset, your neighbour(s) or law enforcement could trespass you from your property while you sleep in your bed (breathing, bathing, cooking, eating, etcetera).

@@MrJamberee to say the least

The neighbor never claimed it was “her” property as the officer said, but possibly a utility. Therefore, no valid claim of trespass could be made and a warrant would be necessary for entry by the officers.

@@tapiwakay bruh what
this is another topic that get swept underneath the rug I'm actually really surprised he hasn't brought up Tim pools recent events. the event happened during a live stream and of course he won't speak about it because he knows the truth about the wonderful phone call.
That’s called Swatting
The moment the second officer refused to give his name and badge number is the moment he earned the distrust of the civilian. The officer jumped to conclusions right off the top. This escalation was entirely unnecessary.
@JohnnyNoPockets aka Who Dat Gamecat yes. I am not sure what the federal ruling would be, but many states have a mandate requiring self identification from police officers, so it has become common practice. However, most civilians are either too trusting or too intimidated by the police interaction to ask for that information. Therefore, there is a pretty big chance that the person asking is going to file a complaint or is being intentionally disruptive/confrontational. That seems to be the assumption this officer made.
To be honest and was act so suspicious by not answering half the questions
@@Turnip397 Yeah he was seeking problems
Yeah the 1st cop seemed pretty friendly/reasonable, the other seemed completely unreasonable and took complete charge of the situation which made it worse.
What you don’t find out in this video is that he had multiple warrants
Kinda curious that fact escaped this channel
It's really time we set some standards regarding the power given to random callers. It's getting out of hand. It's wild how they automatically deem random callers as trustworthy and their information as factually accurate. Suspicion is not a crime and what is suspicious to one may seem perfectly normal to another. Sometimes it seems like the caller could simply say "Hey I see someone across the street, go arrest them" and the police would seriously consider blindly complying.
True! And falsely accusing people. Someone calls the cops and says this person did this to me. They come and arrest you and you have to prove you are innocent. Innocent until proven guilty what a joke!
I agree. A caller should be liable to be put in prison if they reported wrong.
Edit: if the police will use the phone call as the most credible thing they saw. Then why are they getting paid so much? Aren’t they the ones who are supposed to determine all the facts? Okay he is suspicious …. Now what…let’s set up a perimeter and determine the facts. What are we allowed to do and not do.
In the military (RCA) we have the 5 whys. Ask why after every answer and if there is no answer for the remaining why’s then something is really off and wrong.
J'accuse by Emile Zola regarding Alfred Dreyfus. Look it up. It basically boils down to being able to point your finger at a person and saying "I accuse you of (reasons)" and the person is automatically guilty and thrown in a cage.
So, you are absolutely correct. The cops believe the woman but not the man?
But, let's be honest. The guy could have helped himself a little bit. SHOW UP FOR COURT. Then he can due the township for $$$ for violating his civil rights.
It's an excuse and nothing more. That's why half the time they say they got a call and they didn't.
Why would you assume we need to limit the power of "random callers"? They have none. 100% of the validity given to any particular call is assigned to it by dispatch.
Additionally, in many localities they are required by law to respond to all calls.
Fact is, this has nothing to do with random callers so long as they're not abusing the policing system (IE: false police reports) this (and most calls) can be resolved if the officers responding did a non-intrusive investigation and allowed for the presumption of innocence.
In this case (episode) all the cops had to do was knock on the front door of this dudes house while one of the two officers detained (stood next to) the owner.
If nobody answers the door, they have no report of trespassing from the land owner (because he's standing with them and would not have reported himself) so they have no grounds to arrest.
And there it is, every time a person asserts their rights these cops are so dumbfounded they think the person is mentally ill. This means the public and the police need to be schooled on this better. Your channel is a great resource and it should be viewed by police and citizens. Thank you for your dedication.
That is one dangerous tyrant. The man told him he is pro civil rights and the cop says he might have to have him checked out for mental issues 😱
mama thats what they do to every one that stands up for their rights
When it all comes crashing down scores will be settled.
I mean... To be fair, the suspect wasn't exactly all that bright either. He kept on invoking the fifth amendment, but kept on talking in the most suspicious of ways possible, despite being innocent. He was provocative and evasive. Putting on the tough guy act when he should have just kept his mouth shut. The cop didn't handle it properly, but I can't completely pin the blame on him either. Just a case of two idiots colliding.
Good ole boy sheriff's deputy . . .
That Deputy needs severe demotion down to cell sweeper / toilet cleaner
Scaring an old lady who is always staring out their window is basically a crime bruh
That was the funniest thing to me. Wanting to arrest someone for "scaring people half to death" for working on their property. I think Karen needs to go back to bed or mind her own business. Maybe get a new hobby like putting puzzles together or sewing instead of spying on her neighbors at 5 in the morning.
her* window. it's only one old lady
Welp, without the police, situations like these would end with a few buckshots fired, and trespassers killed. Now *I* wouldn't mind that kind of society, but a lot of people would. If it wasn't that cops choose to be the coercive arm of a corrupt state, and were simply to solve cases like these, I'd feel bad for'em.

"uh no... you're trespassing get off my property and leave me alone"
I got a lot of respect for people like this cause if I were on my own property WORKING I woulda flipped em off and kept going
So true. I understand how annoying it is when a random cop turns up and demands identity, or proof of ownership. But .... rather than argue over civil rights, would it not be simpler to say "Sure officer, here's my driving licence, my water bill, " whatever ?
@@trilliarobinson7862 Or maybe the officers could just respect my rights? People like you are why so many people don't really know their rights
@@trilliarobinson7862 No, because then the police think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want. Just like Roscoe P Coletrain here thinking that he can do whatever the hell he wants to this landowner based literally on a neighbor's phone call.

@@otmanh That IS the country that the US seems to be morphing into. Yes, of course it is wrong, but in cases like this, how hard would it have been for the man to simply step into his own house and find a bill or letter, or something, proving it is his. yes, it is police harassment, yes, he shouldn't have to do it. But in today's climate, getting into discussion with a police officer seems to be classed as "resisting arrest". Also, since these encounters are seemingly always recorded, better to appear to be co-operating, than appearing to resist. Humiliating, certainly. crazy, possibly. But sensible ? Maybe.
It’s simply terrifying to think he can take him to jail or to a mental institution to be evaluated (likely a 72 hour hold) because he wants to.
Don't think they won't, just to be spiteful .
I wanted to let this channel know that I’m in fire/EMS, and I have a buddy the other day tel me he watches this channel once I mention I did. Thing is? He’s a cop. He studies what citizens rights are, and even informs them of things he knows when asked on the job. He uses this as a tool to be a good police officer.
Good stuff. This channel may slowly help change things after all.
Not Audit the Audit here because he failed to mention critical things. The cops have no basis to charge him on his private property, making any charges they try to put on him even after finding out it was his property illegal. They did not ask to be on his property, and he should have put trespassing on those Officers for illegally being on his property and failing to conduct a proper investigation. I suggest watching other people like Direct D, San Joaquin Valley, or LackLuster who are far better channels, or Delete Lawz who actually teaches law.
Sadly though you can be a good person but not a good cop nowadays because the way everything's gone so corrupt with a lot of the cops being good cops because they keep their quota by doing stupid s*** and arresting people that don't deserve it they let the actual criminals get away now your friend who you say is a good cop hats off to him I'm proud of him is there a very few of them in the world now so I'm happy that he informs people that he talks to about their rights and everything

The scariest part of this encounter is when the officer alludes to committing mr Jones to a physiatric facility for simply standing up for his civil rights. That is terrifying……I’m really surprised that audit the audit didn’t highlight that.

@Jimmy from Philly . I dony swallow boots and just like people dony want to bother with respectfully exercising their rights, perhaps tneu should not ever call cops for break ins and dangerous sitiations. Because what if the same asshikes show uo asking yoit name again. Proof of residence to make sure who belongs there and not. Exercise the second ammendment as well so you can protect your home and person. Because idiot co, bully cops might not know the laws and we eouldnt want to violate a burglar rights, to bare arms during a break in. Or kidnapping or rape, maybe kids alone after school need cops help many tnings can happen. So maaybe this auditors here should
When that Cop said "I really think you have some mental issues going on." Is TERRIFYING.
THIS, right HERE, is why can can not allow our rights to be eroded, and we must excersize them.
Because if that Officer could, he would have HAPPILY stolen this man's freedom just because the guy didn't thank him for forcing himself into the man's life.
The Officer probably went home and told his Wife about this "crazy guy", not realizing that he himself, is the crazy, authority drunk, tyrant.
Well put. Yes, up until that point, the cop was an ignorant, arrogant, misinformed public servant on a power trip. But that threat tipped it over into a whole additional level of threat and ethical violations. Wow, just wow.

@@SimBir08 Actually, it is impossible for a cop to determine if someone is trespassing. No charges can be filed unless the property owner is involved. Until they contact the owner, they have NO IDEA.

You assume that they put in any more effort to ensure that he was served notice of the hearing than they put into staying in their own lane. Would it really be so surprising if it turned out that they accidentally on purpose botched that too as an easy way of giving themselves a free pass? All they would have to do is have a believable excuse for how they did their best to make sure he got the memo even if it was total bullshit, like sending it to the address of the neighbor whose property they claimed he was on and then trying to pass it off as an honest mistake or something because they just got the addresses confused when they were filling out their paperwork.

So if a random lady calls the police and says there is a trespasser, then they believe her. But when the property owner states that it is his own property, they don’t believe him…

@@redacted7634 Sure but there are more productive ways to approach this - he volunteered quite a bit of information; that he had to drop his kids off at school for example - they could latched on to that keep him talking on non-accusionary tone - and if he's full of crap - then he'll start to contract himself eventually. Since they failed to inquire any information they basically arrest him for no reason.
Also they could have simply started with "noise complaint" to see his initial reaction; maybe the neighbour and him had a history; like territorial dispute or whatnot - the guy assumes he knows what's going on based on one phone call and how he looks and immediately goes like: "why are scaring this old lady" & "your trespassing" which puts him in a defensive position; so he starts stonewalling every question.
@@n0xure Fair enough I as did many others just simply stated what we would do in that situation.
As a mental health professional I LOATHE that police threaten mental health holds that are unnecessary! They keep complaining they don't want to be mental health professionals and don't get enough support in mental health, but then pull this crap!
Makes people not like workers in your field
It's awful on those occasions when as soon as someone who is unhinged to any degree simply doesn't understand something or someone, immediately they jump to "you need a mental health specialist/therapist, you're unhinged"; it's BS. I've had family pull this one on me and I just make it clear that they'd be wasting their money and both our time. I guarantee any therapist who sees me would be shocked that anyone thought I needed therapy; I've done tons of deconditioning work and I know my psychology really well. I'm the last person in this family who needs a therapist lol, I'm catlike in that I keep to myself while living my life to the fullest while they bicker and argue over petty stuff all the time.
And they wonder why I keep to myself. My best friend met my mom once, and he couldn't help but think she seems like she's incredibly chaotic mentally, that was his main impression of her. I wish there were some way to make her realize this and give her some perspective without provoking instant defense mechanisms, but that's just how it is I guess. I won't stoop to her level and authoritatively pull the mental health card on her.
I don't know, mental health is weirdly weaponized sometimes, it's bizarre. "YOU NEED THERAPY" is the biggest cop-out put-down of the 2020s so far I think. I wish there were a magical "perspective button" which makes someone step back and see the obvious bigger picture to whatever it is they're fixated on. Heck, I could use one for myself every now and then too, haha!

@@notanymore2293 Nah just makes us hate cops who abuse the system like this
Can you even imagine the number of times this cop has violated people's rights before he got caught on video doing it?
How can they arrest someone for trespassing without a complaint from the owner? Neighbor can’t sign a complaint.
Because illegal arrests have to be extremely blatant before they carry personal consequences for the officer committing them - way more blatant than even in this video.
Officers can make illegal arrests because the officer has the right to assault and even execute those who physically resist the illegal arrest. And if the people submit to the arrest and fight through the courts it requires time, money, and luck to succeed, and even a successful court case won't personally affect the officer who committed the illegal arrest.
In order to be Trespassed, the PROPERTY OWNER has to be the one to SAY he is Trespassing. HE IS THE OWNER.
Until he shows proof he’s nobody…I can walk onto my neighbors property and say i own it. Doesn’t make it true…The guy was a dickhead throwing sovereign citizen bs. Show your license or proof and it’s over.
What if the owner is not home ?
But he continued to NOT prove he was the owner. Frankly, I think he was acting like a dick. This situation could have been dealt with in seconds if he simply gave them his name.
@@tigerbear3038 Then there is no trespassing, unless it is clearly posted.
@@tigerbear3038 Unless they're breaking and entering, in some states, they can't arrest them for trespassing without the owner or their agent asking them to leave, unless there are posted no trespassing signs.

The caller claimed he was on her property. It would be more appropriate to have her cited for filing a false police report than it was to cite the owner for failing to identify himself.
I would find a good reason or any justification to call the police on her. I would use feelings alone.

@@markekar6021 in the 911 call, she said he wasn't on her property.
Arrested for scaring an old lady, that could easily escalate to being murdered for scaring an old lady!
Yes, it's easy to overlook the fact that this could have been a dangerous situation for the land owner.
Rather than "scaring an old lady", I'd say he's guilty of triggering a nosey old busy-body.
At the point where the officer said he had ten chances to answer and didn't know if he'd let him go even if he complied, he made it a personal vendetta, which in itself is unprofessional. Then he started threatening mental health evaluation. Cops don't have the right to continuously threaten charges to force someone to answer their questions.
The thing that gets me is they read Miranda rights to people every time they arrest someone, yet they ignore that they have the right to remain silent. How much of a bonehead do you have to be to realize this? At no point did he ever return to the neighbor and further question her if she recognized him or go to the door of that residence to verify anyone in the house knew him. His wife could have just as easily mistaken the cops as thugs approaching her husband and shot them in self defense on her property in the dark...
As far as it goes I think the officer should be sent back to the academy for remedial training when they escalate situations by showing disregard of fundamental rights of individuals.
I think he might be charged with assault on a Karen next for getting his mail without waving at her. Since that severely hurts her feelings.

The craziest thing is that you gave them a C- when they clearly deserved an F-
Well, Mr. Jones didn't die or get tazed or beaten, so maybe a D....
In reality, I contend there are two grades forr law enforcement officers: A and F. No in between. You can't partially deny someone their natural rights, you can't partially unlawfully arrest someone; you can't partially gin up false charges to make yourself look better. It's either pass or fail, that simple.
This. A C- is a disgrace. This is the first time I highly disagree with AtA’s assessment.
Nah they DID respond to a concerned citizen's call. F- would be if they do not respond what so ever.
They aren't being graded on whether they arrived or not, but on their conduct after arrival.
After the officer accused the guy of having mental health issues for standing up for his rights, all chances of justifying his conduct went out the window.
Videos like this should be a mandatory part of police training. But I have a feeling departments would rather have officers that simply follow orders than officers that are educated on the law.
Yep, if they actually educate their officers they won't have the ability to say they didn't know.
Actually they are here in Colorado Springs. In fact they use ATA in the academy classroom. You can bet this one will be in their "Don't be that guy," file.
What's the lesson? If a potential trespasser says he lives somewhere believe him and go back to the police station?
Exactly because following the law means NO revenue $$$ for the city.
@@jacklewis100 Yes because you haven't amassed enough evidence to ascertain guilt or innocence. In that case the suspect has, as we all do, the 4th and 5th stating you don't have to assist their investigation into yourself AND if insufficient evidence exists of a crime you can do NOTHING.
Not dispelling Officer alarm IS NOT a violation. In fact it's litterally the 5th. Secondly, a neighbor isn't someone who can make a claim that carries trespassing if they can't give an ID, as in this case. Lastly, If someone claimed "I'm the resident and I don't know what's going on," cops could do this. But they don't have that, they have a "Someone is over there." So when the cops said "If you don't convince me you live here that's trespass. It's not because he has no call to compel identity. You and your "But how will they solve crimes without violating rights," crowd need to consider the other option, they need to get good at what they do and adapt to the modern world, like the criminals they face have.
How can someone who does not own the property say that someone is trespassing on property that is not there property?
C- is very generous for cops threatening a citizen of internment in psy ward for defending his 5th amendment rights when they don't do their investigation properly in the 1st place... i would give them a D-, and i am really sorry the defendant didn't go to court and didn't sue this 2 entitled lazy shields...
Very very good content on your channel, live long and prosper 🖖
A C- is a fail. When I was in public school a pass was 65% or a C+. I have since taken several courses over my work career that require an A or 85% to pass. I believe that being a police officer would fall into that category. To arrest a man for nothing is an automatic F and should result in the officer's termination and pulling his certificate if he has one.

You gotta learn how the world works mate
The landowner needs to "inform" the person that he is trespassing. An Officer is not an agent of the owner.
A fence is considered " informed " where I live. If an officer can act on that without the property owner calling them, I'm not sure, logic would say yes in this situation with the neighbor calling it in.
You're right. They can't trespass him or arrest him for loitering. Well not legally anyway.
@@Pickleriiiiiick That isn't entirely true. A fenced off area is indeed enough to trespass someone off a property when cops show up. But that doesn't take away the owner of the property or their agent need to be in contact with the police. Logic and law say no. They can't trespass someone unless the owner, or an agent, of the property confirms the trespass. Officers can't trespass people from random private properties just because they feel like it.
If the person was doing nothing else to raise suspicion, obviously.
@@simmerke1111 that's a fair breakdown. Issue falls with the suspicion though. Its entirely subjective, wouldn't someone perceived as being aware of the usual activity (the neighbor) raising concerns, fall under suspicious?

@@Clouded_Reactions the first cop was fine tho, he was asked his info and gave it, the other one ignored that and refused to believe him AND when he finally gave his address he wanted him to prove it after saying he just wanted to hear the address to prove it.

You can’t charge someone with trespass without being asked to do so by the owner. They have to ask the owner if this person has permission to be on his property and if says no then they still can’t charge him unless he is told he’s trespassing and refuses to leave or he returns

"His power to contract is unlimited." He owes no duty to the State or to his neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his doors to an investigation, so far as it may tend to incriminate him. He owes no duty to the State, since he receives nothing there from, beyond the protection of his life and property. "His rights" are such as "existed" by the Law of the Land (Common Law) "long antecedent" to the organization of the State", and can only be taken from him by "due process of law", and "in accordance with the Constitution."

He's not identifying, only guilty people do that. Therefore, he's trespassing."

@@myrajefferson3672 yupp
I got arrested entering my own house through the window. I know it looked wrong and respected the police for responding but they didn’t let me retrieve my wallet that was in my bedroom to prove I owned the property. I simply locked myself out of my own house. I had pictures of myself hung up through out the house and they still didn’t believe I lived there. My neighbor also came out to justify my presence but no use to my case. I verbally told them my information including my address but he stated my address was visible and not valid. I got booked and was let out after a few hours. It’s still on my record
Clearly you broke into the house prior and hung up your photos lol worlds something stupid
Clever burglar thinking 10 steps ahead. Just accept that you got caught.
As a young man I climbed to enter my house about 5 times.
(not as simple as climbing over a wall. I had to climb vertically and horizontally until I reached the balcony)
Hardly anyone saw me, and no one called the cops.
Good luck. Because it was highly suspicious.
When climbing was no longer a good option.
About 5-10 times I had to manually lift a garage door(at first it was light, with years of disuse it became heavy) It took time and several neighbors saw me. I was slow because I didn't want to get dirty or hurt myself.
Just ONE time police patrolled by when I was inside and I had the gate raised with boards. There were at least 2 neighbors outside, a few houses away.
But I did get to unlock the front door with keys, put on the clothes I had laid outside, take out the trash, close the gate, and finally close the front door.
The cops left as I walked out the front door and put on the coat I had left outside. They never approached, they continued on their way.
@Perez. Dude, That's an EASY police misconduct, Motion to exonerate, & expungement situation...
@Mike Perez "It’s still on my record"
The police consider the record to be legitimate because it records actual happenings that involved the police.
There may be no way to force the police to expunge the record.
2:11 Note that the second officer refuses to identify himself after being asked multiple times to do so. He's trespassing and assaulting a citizen while on *their* property but lacks the common courtesy necessary to identify himself!
Jup. He could be posing as an LEO.
@Qyx the problem is you shouldn't HAVE to listen to anyone. Especially on your own property. Cops need less power, we don't need to listen to them more. Go do some research kid.
@Qyx The police should know the law and follow policy(which they didn't). You are not required to talk to them period. Stop with the excuses and spamming
@Qyx Nope - he has no obligation to cooperate with officers, answer their questions, or identify. Caller noted they didn't know who owned the property, he wasn't undertaking suspicious activity (like looking in windows, etc.). Officers lacked sufficient reasonable suspicion for a detention (refusal to identify is not grounds for reasonable suspicion except loitering).
he could of shot at him and be free to do so by law.
Seeing videos like these makes me WAY less likely to "see something, say something" as we were told post 9/11. I'd have to be SURE to call the cops now, whereas before, I might have called them (non emergency number) if someone I didn't recognize was acting weird (imo). I would NEVER mean to initiate something like this. My only interest would be in keeping my neighbors and their property safe. Now I have to worry some crazy cop is going to assault them or an innocent person with a legitimate reason to be doing what they're doing. De escalation techniques are great, but SO often, they just need to know how to not escalate themselves or, for that matter, practically start the conversation with the cuffs out. This stuff is ridiculous and imo goes way overboard.
Every time I believe the officers deserve a F grade, this channel gives an average grade. Maybe not both officers but certainly the more aggressive officer deserves a F. Neither did any investigative work, but he seem to escalate the matter as he was getting frustrated by Mr. Jones, continually saying that he was not going to answer certain questions under his fifth amendment right. Then after the arrest he makes snide unnecessary comments pertaining to Mr. Jones mental health and him being anti-government or anti-police. That officer's conduct was abhorrent.
I used to think the grades were off too. However, if being graded based on other LEO's the grades make sense. Most average officers would behave pretty much like this officer did. So he was about an average LEO. They would only get an F if being graded on if they followed the law. To the average citizen if they were asked what grade they would give a police officer that violated the law, they would give them an F. They would not take into account grading them on a curve based on other police officers behaviors.
@@timhartsock9942 Good point, well said. I have thought the same thing
And the owner did say it was his property early on and then later tubs asked again as if he didn’t get the answer already and used that lack of response (in addition to the name) against him. It’s silly
@@timhartsock9942 that logic is silly. Bad is bad. Being thrown into the sun is a clear F. That doesn’t make being lit on fire a C-. It’s still an F.
maybe because they didn't killed him
So let me get this straight...The Police are investigating the man because a woman said she was concerned.Yet when he said he was at his own residence suddenly the burden of proof is with him and not her. Pretty fucked up.
Guilty until proven innocent.
There's a lot of interesting things in a situation like this one. Firstly, there's a potential difference between a yard/property enclosure and a house. If he was inside of his house there's very little to say that the police had any right to initiate any contact what so ever outside of executing a warrant, or just asking a question. Out in the open on ones own property is treated as different though the differences vary from state to state. Some say if you are investigating a potential crime the police have the right to make contact and question you on the property, but not the house, while others include the property with the house and the police can be trespassed if they are not wanted by the owner.
Here it's a strange situation where the owner is not known, and the owner is unwilling to cooperate even as part of his own defense. He isn't under any obligation to, but it does escalate in some circumstances what the cops are able to do. The whole reason why they are there is the "reasonable suspicion" that he is not there lawfully which in many cases does grant them the right to make contact for investigative purposes. It gets wierd around the point of does he have the right to not identify himself. The answer is yes and no. Up till hes under arrest he doesnt have to identify himself, butbrhe police operating under reasonable suspicion to have the right to detain him under the belief that he has no legal right to be there.
But what's really odd here is his unwillingness to help himself. Let's take a different approach and say Mr. Jones was inside sleeping, and the police came into his property to investigate a trespasser the old lady reported, and that legit trespasser had confronted the police exactly as Mr. Jones did. Should Mr. Jones or anyone else then be grateful for the trespasser standing up for their perceived rights and leave them be to do whatever? Or would they rather the police not take the suspects word at face value that they are the property owner and arrest them?
The police don't know the difference and can't be expected to. Though Mr. Jones may have the right to not identify himself on his own property, the police themselves do/may have the right to investigate a criminal complaint until they are satisfied with the outcome.
He did not say he was at his RESIDENCE and it's not clear if there is a house on that property. If there was, it would have been much easier for the police to discern and sort out the facts. The guy owns some of the responsibility for what transpired.
@@billmccoy3666 totally agree with you 💯 I would have just proved who I was he seemed to want to escalate the situation imo.
but if the man was wise he would have stated his address and wouldnt have lost precious time
I like how the guy says he is "Pro-Civil Rights" and the cops immediately think mental health issues.

So the alleged killer would be exposed pretty quickly.
How so? What else are the cops supposed to do? They need to investigate because trespassing, believe it or not, is a crime, and yes, how “arrogant” and “stupid” they are for asking simple questions.
Why is it such a problem for these people to answer them? Does it bruise their ego? Does it make them feel powerful or superior over an established authority? Great, I hope they feel powerful and superior being driven to the police station in cuffs so they can answer the question there and sort it out when they could’ve done it in their own yard and not had to take a step off their property.
Absolute stupidity on the part of the homeowner, and for what reason? _”Just because I can“._ No discretion whatsoever, they’re morons.
@@rekunta Innocent until proven guilty. Police didn't investigate anything. They went in biased and acted from there. Therefor: Arrogant and Stupid.

Right because crooks are the only ones that can claim that, cops dont have feelings
Lost it completely for me when he tried to tell him he had to prove his innocence rather than the officer proving his guilt.
Proving guilt happens in court. The DA not the cops have to prove guilt. Cops just have to believe you are probably guilty (probable cause) to arrest you and bring it to the DA.
Well Mr Jones didn't show up for his court appointment, so that's certainly not rational behavior.
@@Oakleyworld don't matter what their feelings are. They are law officers. They are NOT the feelings officers.
Something to add here. Arkansas has a bad habit of not notifying you of your court date. Alot of the property out here is rural so they have to mail it to you. Alot of notices get "lost in the mail". Its possible he didnt even know he was supposed to go to court.
Very good point.
That was my first thought - they never mailed the summons or ticket and claimed it was 'lost in the mail'. Scumbags.
An excellent point. I have a friend that lives literally in the middle of the woods (about 5 miles is his closest neighbor and about 20 miles to the edge of town) that got a warrant on him for not appearing to a jury duty summons. The summons arrived a week after the summons date. Charges were dropped and I think he may have been removed from the jury summons system due to it being clearly unreasonable to attempt to summon him since this was actually the second time this happened (the first time he managed to catch it in time and call in to receive a court date to clear things up).
It is so stupid that they still rely on physical mail to tell people about legal action against them.

Literally zero investigation conducted. I would’ve given them a F for that alone.
Seems like more of a F than a C- to me. It’s dangerous the way the officer makes up scenarios to justify his actions that seemed more based on his emotional dislike for someone utilizing their civil rights. All in All love the channel. I Always watch as soon as you upload 😊
Yeah, I'd agree. The hostile and condescending attitude as well. If he's willing to put an innocent person through all that to justify his actions there's no telling what other shit he'd do. Any officer who performs an act of covering up their own mistakes at the expense of a citizens civil rights is an automatic F for me.
It is an F. Audit the Audit frequently gets an F himself.

You knew this guy was dealing with a tyrant about to commit a crime the moment he refused to give his name and badge number.
Threatening to have him hospitalized for psychiatric reasons was way over the line of color of authority.
I think that was the moment the cop realized that he had it wrong, but he had talked himself into such a lather that he couldn't back down. He was looking for alternatives, because he knew that the ID check would prove that he overstepped.

This cop was pissed and you could tell in his tone when asking if he was anti-government. That shouldn’t matter. That had nothing to do with you just doing your job.

The "Founding Fathers" were anti-government. This country was not created by people who followed orders and worshipped uniforms.
I'd honestly be pissed to with Jones's odd answers and responses along with odd activity. You have to look at this incident without knowing Jones truly lived there which this video gave us the benefit of hindsight by stating it in the beginning.
What the police should have done was bring Jones to the door of the property and confirm if he's a trespasser or not as Jones answered no questions at all.
@@jason200912 The police do not decide who a "trespasser" is. The property-owner does. They did not have a legitimate complaint to investigate (And did nothing of any proper "investigation" anyway).
As far as being "pissed", so what? A citizen is not obligated to be polite to people questioning him on his own property, and Police should be able to put aside any personal feelings - That's actually a basic part of _what they are paid to do..._
@@jason200912 Don't ever become a member of law enforcement please. If you already are well... feel sorry for the people that come across you.
Jones was being unnecessarily suspicious with his answers. The cops didn’t handle it correctly, but what was Jones trying to accomplish by withholding his name and address?
I love how people, especially law-enforcement, are so quick to judge. I also hate how these cops scrutinized this man when this gentleman told them he was the homeowner.
I mean I was sorta on the fence with this one, obviously leaning way more towards the guy....but then as soon as the cop said he thinks he has mental health problems and needed him to be committed to a doctor this cop absolutely failed big-time
Showed how the cop stopped caring about the trespassing and was punishing the guy for not bending over
I was also a little on the fence until later on. I do think a cop aught to do due diligence if called out. You can't simply believe someone when they say the own the land and then provide no evidence or proof to the fact. Even if they DO own the land it would be a simple thing to just...prove it. Have the cops look it up, they should know who the owner is going out to it.
But later on when they started threatening the doctor and saying he was having a mental health crisis...yeah never mind. They were being petty tyrants.
@@RJBond121 you shouldn’t have to prove anything to them lol.. that’s the problem yeah just comply but that’s against the constitution what they’re doing
@@marselse they have reason to believe he is trespassing.
Put it another way. Someone breaks into your house, and the neighbor calls the cops because they know you are gone. The cops show up and the person who broke in goes, "oh I live here." Should the cops then go, "Oh okay bye" and let your house get robbed?
Or say you own property and a homeless person moves into it and the cops are called by a neighbor. Can the homeless person just say, "oh I live here this is my property." And then have the cops leave? Some proof of claim needs to be shown.
That's called a probe. You say that while watching to see the reaction, someone with a history of mental health issues will react far differently than one without. Actually, even someone severely intoxicated or tripping may freak out.
Honestly, this is probably just Mr Jones tweaking on meth and not handling the cops showing up well at all...or he was poaching. Either way, he did NOT conduct himself as a reasonable person on their own property minding their own business... which led the police to make bad calls trying to sort the mess IMO.
The officers deserves a big "F" on this one. Threatening to 6404 (apologies, that's what we call an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization in TN, I thought it was a general term elsewhere) someone because they are invoking their civil rights while you are trespassing on their property over hearsay is super fucked up. As usual, cops usually don't care about the laws or the Constitution, just their feeling of authority.
You’re pretty cool for using 6404!
I don't understand the C grade they got either. They kidnapped a man off of his own property doing nothing unlawful and that is considered average grade?

Once he talked about having me checked out for mental health, I would have flat out told him that I know he's retaliating because he's not getting his way and let's roll, because I'd definitely be filling a case.
Exactly - at 1st opportunity, accuse officers of intimidation-harassment-retaliation making otherwise legal acts illegal. Declare you don't want to answer questions, and request a lawyer be present during questioning. Then challenge the continued detention as illegal - how are officers actively investigating if you aren't going to answer questions?
I can imagine the cops made sure Mr. Jones never received the notice of his court date just to destroy his life.
I'm reminded of a case in the UK. The police reacted to a call that a homeless person was in a supermarket bin in the early hours. The police arrested him and he was taken to court for theft.
There was an outcry in the press and national radio and TV picked up the story. Everyone gave the supermarket in question a hard time. In their defence the supermarket revealed they were not even aware of the incident. It was discovered the police reacted unilaterally, used the supermarkets name and the prosecutor just went along with it.
The case was quickly dropped!
Its amazing that callers can just make facts and police believe it. The fact is "trespassing" negates they must FIRST be asked to leave. Arresting someone of trespassing in "unknown"(though he CLEARLY SAID HE WAS THE OWNER AND EVEN SAID THE ADDRESS) property like this video is extremely unethical.
@@foolishdonut It's not just unethical.
