He opened the wallet and told his mom that there was $400 missing from the wallet.......accused my wife and I of taking it. There was no money in the wallet when my wife and I found it.

Oh I just remembered something else that during a time of hardship made me and my kids suffer even moreso. I went to donate plasma for the first time ever circa 2009 and they ask a list of questions.. I answered them to the best of my knowledge. There was one particular question not well written.
So I circled it instead of yes or no, they called me into a private office space and asked me why I had circled the question "Have you ever used a needle to administer drugs"
Mind you I'm new to all of this, didn't know much about legal or illegal drugs. I answered "yes and that's why I circled it" The woman really QUICK and her supervisor gave each other a look and said "we can't let you donate plasma" WHY? "you said you used a needle to administer illegal drugs into your body" WAIT I never said that I administered ILLEGAL drugs into my body NEVER. The supervisor said "you already stated that you did and we cannot let you donat". This all was said in less than 5 minutes. I explained to him that I inject myself with a blood thinner called Lovenox after a Pulmonary Embolism. They wouldn't listen. I walked out feeling humiliated. I was in dire need to buy a little food and gas to get to work. So I tried again the next day with a written statement from my PCP and Pulmonologist (I had blood clots in and around my lungs). These people would not get their supervisor, they wouldn't look at my letter much less listen to me explain what happened the day before. With an attitude the foks at the sign in desk told me I was banned from ever donating from there and that I should know that the system sends alerts to other non affiliated plasma centers, ANYWHERE. I felt worse than I did the previous day. This world is so unfair. I turned around and walked out. I'm better than this place and as I walk out looking at the people there....drug addicts, and drunks is all I could see filling the seats waiting to donate. But because I circled a question, because I was naive and told the honest truth. I was banned in the entire state of AZ from donating plasma for life.
The first accusations are too sensitive and personal.. We have to rethink about everything we do and say in today's world. See what helping others did to the poor woman.

They should be held accountable it's shocking that they are able to ruin someone's life and just carry on regardless x

[@JR-zm2yu]

I also wonder if the dept/officers involved gets some kind compensation/recognition for closing cases regardless of innocence/guilt. I wonder that, because here in FL there was a particular police chief/sheriff (i want to say about 20yrs ago) that put enormous pressure on the officers. The term quota comes to mind. One officer reportedly committed suicide as a result. And when they arrested someone, there were reportedly many times that they would simply close other cases pinning them on the arrested person even though it had nothing to do w/that person - basically, it was all administratively done w/o the arrested person knowing anything about & was not informed about the other cases. Imo the State Attorney's office needs to investigate that dept. God Bless the officers out there doing the right thing for the right reasons & following the original Constitution. And God Bless this lady in all ways💜🙏

[@dougwilcher608]

Those officers 100% violated her constitutional rights after she asked for a lawyer they are no longer allowed to ask you any questions and they continued to interrogate her... She has a lawsuit against that department if she's so wants to pursue it...

[@edwardfitzgerald3877]

No they did not. You don't have the right to an attorney when you speak to law enforcement. Your right only kicks in once they arrest you. She walked into the police station of her own accord and started chit-chatting and incriminating herself for 30 full minutes before they decided to arrest her. When she asked for an attorney, they had not yet arrested her. So it was just a voluntary conversation between two citizens. She was under no obligation to talk to them. She could have walked out of there at any time to speak to an attorney or whomever she wanted.

@@dougwilcher608 Cops will have zero field day, because, unlike you, I know that, although I have no right to an attorney when I am neither under arrest, nor detained and instead having a consensual conversation after entering a police station of my free volition, I also know I have the right to walk away from a consensual conversation or remain silent.

Their need to be a lawsuit brought EVERY time. This bullshit can't stand.

[@NorfolkKillaB]

Thank you judge. I hope she sues the shit out of those people.

[@kingofnothing1433]

As bad as the police were in this incident, the woman's friends are even worse. They knew what kind of person she was but they wouldn't believe her. That shows what kind of a person they are. And employers aren't any better. I swear they all take great delight in destroying a person's life. They don't care if you're innocent. And they definitely won't wait to find out.

[@WhiteWolfos]

They were just wondering why the police were looking for her? They went through questioning several people about her which is typical for investigation. Though stupid none of them saw the video/assumed they were in cahoots.

[@suesuemay9354]

I bet if it was them they would have seen things a whole different way if they were the one being accused of stealing the lady's card

[@marcusmelancon3426]

[@curtiswilson4737]

Disown all of those friends, and move to another state that's more, black people friendly.

[@Zurround]

Don't worry. Once she files a successful lawsuit against the police department and gets awarded a few million dollars those friends who wrote her off will all try really hard to make amends to her. Same goes for her family.

[@gatorrollu2799]

When she asked for a lawyer at that point they had no right to ask her any questions about that. Everything should have been stopped at that point! This wrong should be justified and I hope she wins any and all lawsuits against all of them! Injustice at its finest!! 😡

[@BeaulieuTodd]

Correct. Happened to me and they were forced to disregard everything said afterwards. Crooks.

[@mortsdans]

This is how it works, the cops just try and get you in jail they don't care if you're guilty or not. They get promoted based on convictions, and the jail gets paid by the inmate. You have "rights" but only if you happen to know them and be clever enough to not fall for their tricks.

[@t.ruththeblack]

She should have known that from watching TV! Once you ask for a lawyer you shut up!

[@mortsdans]

Well I have learned something: never pick up a bank card that is not yours. No good deed goes unpunished.

[@samanthapeters8314]

I once found a bank card in a shopping centre. I immediatly took it to the bank (across the road). The bank teller was asking me lots of questions trying to make me sound like a criminal. I said to her "Can't you just call the owner of the card? Go look at shopping centre footage." My anxiety levels went up. I then walked out of the bank. Watching this video I am glad social media wasn't around when I found the card.

[@Diegolechuga]

The lady did an honest mistake. The real criminal was the one that accepted the card knowing full well it wasn't theirs. I'm hindsight, the shop employee would have been the best person to give it to apart from a cop. This was one helluva mess, 4 months just to dismiss the case... Jesus...

It's sad though. It makes you afraid of doing a good deed.

@@deidrarichards5801 This is like 2 weeks ago, found a wallet at this parking lot. It was next to my car on the ground.I could have take it to the lost and found but I minded my own business. It’s sad that you can’t do a good deed these days.

[@dee27206]

@@meerahm3345 Well that was messed up of you? I left my wallet accidentally on my trunk once putting gas in my tank. So as I drove off it fell off the car and onto the ground. But I had no idea until I was already miles away, I tried to retrace my steps but didn’t find anything. Anyways a Good Samaritan found it and took it to our local police station, a cop then brought it to my house. I was extremely grateful.

[@tramdr]

I live in Detroit. I walk my dog and pick up trash during the walk, with a super pooper scooper and a large paint bucket. Last year I picked up a cell phone during the walk and was going to deposit in my bucket but saw that the phone was on and didn't look broken. Iwas going to try to call it but it was locked. On the way back, it started ringing. I answered and was trying to explain that I found the phone and come and get it. Of course I got accused of stealing it.

She was also evicted so where did she have to store her belongings and where did she have to sleep? I hope someone takes her case and helps her with a civil lawsuit against the police department.
