This is clickbait BS and you should be ashamed of yourself for calling this tyrant a good cop 🙄🤦
Where was the good cop?
am in uk and a crime / criminal offence here has a victim is it not the same over there...? a legislated offence with no corresponding offence under the law of england & wales here is a service offence applicable only to those they can deceive / force or coerce to consent to being in their service rather than them being our public servants...peace
was thinking that, the cop that made him relese her is not a good cop d-@@michaellobo4354
Hi, I'm going to be moving to another state soon, California has very lenient traffic laws but I'm unsure about Virginia, where/how should I read up on traffic laws so I can understand them better?
If cops don't want to be given the middle finger, they should stop acting foul towards the public.
What an immature stance. What about the videos where the non-deserving cops get the middle finger?
Cops should not retaliate, but that doesnt mean citizens get a free pass for being @55holes to authority.
Correct@@KrowShow. The 1st amendment does give all citizens the right to convey their grievances to their government officials. You don't like it then go somewhere that doesn't have free speech.
FACTS.
@@KrowShow.You are woefully ignorant to our constitution it seems. FREE SPEECH is FREE SPEECH wether it offends you or not.
Whats stupid is cops illegally detaining people they don't know because their ego is fragile
She's lucky an acorn didn't fall from a tree.
IM HIT,.IM DOWN!
I'm surprised someone hasn't made a meme of the squirl from ice age in a cop uniform.
💯
@@johnmcgraw3568lmaooo they should
That tree is under investigation for that acorn incident. Warrant pending.
Shutting off or muting your body cam should be considered obstruction, destruction of evidence, and should be an immediate firing offense and chargeable crime.
It should be yeah at anytime they can abuse their authority
Now that you mention that you're right that is obstruction
Absolutely 👍🏿
I don't know why there would ever be a good reason an officer should do this. Honestly, the function shouldn't even be available to them while they are in active duty.
I was a cop for almost 10 years and I've never heard of being able to arrest someone for failing to signal a lane change. That cop is absolutely ridiculous for arresting her. Especially when you can see she signaled in his bodycam footage.
Yes, I don't know why everyone in the comments seems to think she really didn't signal
No kidding.
I believe they are interpreting the law incorrectly in this video. Traffic violations are considered “infractions“ in Texas, and therefore are not crimes. All of the laws cited in this video specifically used the word “crime”, when referencing the ability for an officer to make an arrest.
@notagrom Exactly, same in Cali, they're not even misdemeanors, they're just infractions
@JaneCooper190072 exactly it's called " no criminal traffic" which by our statute is only a civil forfiture.
If a cop turns off their body cam all charges should immediately be dismissed.
Officer should be fired
Imagine if you were at work and unplugged the security camera
@@mobrocketYou'd be told the security camera is for the security of the business too and not your safety. 😂
In Europe, deleting evidence is a crime, not sure what you guys are smoking.
Bodycam on from clock in to clock out!! They should have zero control of the bodycam for accountability purposes.
@@ThatGuy-vi8ch
Which makes sense right???
The security of the product...
Body cam footage is the same thing. It's to help protect the public... Not the cops
His wanting to arrest her makes it very clear she is right to fear him.
Mhmm
She should get a restraining order against all these cops for their continued harassment and stalking.
His actions, and those aiding and abetting him, make me fear for how he might treat his family behind closed doors
@@wingatebarraclough3553 lol
What was he going to do to her once she was in custody?
The fact that TEXAS law permits a LEO to ARREST someone for a traffic violation tells me to avoid TX.
Lots of these videos seem to come from Texas
I don’t think they are interpreting the law correctly here. Failing to signal is not a crime. It’s an infraction.
Never knew Texas was so ridiculous 👎 absurd laws
Are you kidding? I'm from NZ and even I know Texas cops are dodgy af lol
She should retain legal counsel and push to have this man removed from his position. He doesn't deserve to be a police officer.
He clearly knew who she was and this wasn’t the first time he’d acted like this with her.
True,very true
I agree it's abuse of power
Sure the "good cop" told the disgrace of a cop to let the woman go to avoid a lawsuit, but the "good cop" still felt the need to gaslight the woman as if she caused this situation.
Exactly. I've been a victim of many violent crime and the reporting Lolice are always indifferent, frustrated to be there, investigate a way to arrest me instead of taking my report as victim and almost always responding "that doesn't make sense" to every question they ask me.
Exactly. He's their best and he's still trash.
Ikr, how low are our standards for police behavior?
They act like domestic abusers EVERY VIDEO. They blame the victim every time no matter how innocent.
Cops would tazer the Pope feeding the homeless and tell him he shouldn't have been moving that fast and his robes could have been hiding a weapon.
Plus the gang mentality of back every cop, no matter how criminal they are.
He also told the “bad cop” to turn off his camera. Absolutely no integrity in my eyes. Protecting, in any way, “bad cops” makes you just as bad. The police system needs to change from “protect my fellow officers” to “protect my fellow offers ONLY WHEN THEY DESERVE IT.”
It’s funny how he tells her she needs to move on, while his cop was on the verge of arresting her of a lane change that she didn’t even do. This is the kinda cop that would flip out if an acorn hit his car next to him.
Nice callback
Ouch... That's gotta sting the ego of any police officers reading this!
I may need to steal this to use it myself when I am critical of police officers actions
I'd root for the acorn
Notice in the stop the right turn indicating light was flashing. James in America Chicago peace be upon you.🤔🧐🤨🤬😡🕖
The crazy thing is maybe every cop in the country knows about that acorn incident by now; but they are still ignorant about filming in public and flipping the bird.
Cops SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TURN OFF THEIR BODY CAMS!!!!!! It completely defeats the purpose
The cop blaming the lady is absolutely absurd! Why can't cops just follow the laws and stop abusing people!?!?!
The fact that he knew her first and last name without any form of ID tells me this was retaliatory.
Absolutely. Not just because of her gesture as she drove by, but for their history. This cop physically abused this woman at a storage facility, alleging trespassing, etc. He retaliated then because she challenged him. I'm trying to find the video and link of that encounter.
No doubt!!
I mean even if he hadn't, the fact he mentioned the gesture to backup, and she admitted to it when he mentioned it, and then he chose to arrest over a traffic violation that frankly is common af says a lot. Texas and my state (GA) have similar laws regarding traffic infractions/violations. I've been caught speeding, that is considered a criminal offense in GA, only got a citation, and I was super speeding. State law may allow an arrest, no reasonable officer is gonna arrest solely over it though (barring like 20+ over with multiple violations that would become reckless driving). Plus he admitted he was treated her differently because she was who she was.
I was thinking the same thing!!
Yup, happened to my brother n I on the streets. He had a past case and was beefin with the corrupt dept. Alotta aryian brotherhood members were in there. The dept was investigated and a couple were put in jail I think. The rest were all fired. Went back through there a few years back n its all different officers.
“You’re under arrest for failure to signal a lane change”
That’s gotta be the most uncalled for and blatantly retaliatory reason for an arrest I’ve ever heard of.
She probably signaled too lol
100%
Then you have not watched enough videos...😮😂
What crazy is im always seeing people moving to a different lane with no signal😂
There’s no way he said that and felt like a man lol
You can tell that cop wanted her alone in HIS car to take her in. I was freaking out watching this so can’t even imagine how frightened she was.
He would definitely have been very physical with her starting with putting the cuffs on as tight as he could.
If she's that frightened she would not flip them off. The officer was wrong to stop her. But she is stupid for flipping him off. She is freaking out so ignore police and drive next time. Never learned let sleeping dogs lay.
@@janetrogers4738 Better yet, she could just stay home. That way she will always be safe right? Who needs rights?
'If you had not flicked him off' otherwise known as 'if you didnt choose to express youre freedom of speech'
And 'if the officer had done anything wrong in the past he wouldnt be here' instead is 'everything hes done wrong in the past wasnt recorded by our body cameras because we turned them off prior to the wrong doing.'
Officers who turn off body cameras should be charged with destruction of evidence.
Well the so called "good officer" proved himself a typical bad cop by lecturing her at the end.
Yeah, it actually only proved to protect the department from the lawsuit they would have probably had
Truth
And taking the reproach off cam.
Police love to Copsplain
"Less bad officer"???
That cop is not stable enough to be wearing a badge!!!
True.
It is Texas..
Texas changed the law, mental instability is not a barrier to having a gun, so that's obviously not a big problem.
@@neill392 Fort Worth just lowered the bar once again. A high percentage of the most recent recruits admitted to having "social anxiety." They were graduated and put on the street. There have already been numerous instances of these people freaking out, screaming at people and pulling their guns threatening to kill the person right there if they did not obey.
Most of them aren't. Lol.
My husband is a LEO and occasionally gets the finger for no reason---and he is a SRO and training officer in school shooting scenarios. He responds with ignoring them or giving them a thumbs up.
Right? A LEO should be used to responding to minor insults like this one with indifference and any reasonable adult should be able to make a distinction between a personal grudge and an abuse of power. LEO are human beings, but just like teachers, doctors, judges, etc. they have to be able to separate their personal feelings for an individual with the exercise of their profession. I've seen people acting in offensive manners against nurses and doctors and still they were given proper medical care, although I'm certain there are lots of cases were they aren't.
She literally didnt even turn the blinker off it was on the whole time
Hey Sarge, your officer just proved beyond a reasonable doubt the EXACT reason she flipped him off. You and your officer are the reason people hate cops.
And Henderson, if he were a "good apple", he would have arrested the abuser, not the victim
@@wingatebarraclough3553 Not an arrestable offense, much like the failure to use signal. Just a big failure all around from police on this one.
@@JustMe-fo4ev I get what your saying
The officer admitted to criminal depravation of rights and the sergeant criminally conspired to it along with destroying evidence.
I like it when people get mad at cops for doing the right thing. Shows their true biases.
The gaslighting is strong with the sergeant.
Imagine how he gaslights at home with the kids and his partner.
@@AdakStillStands Your comment was unnecessarily personal and an unsubstantiated low blow. This type of bashing is too common on the internet because anonymity causes lack of accountability and otherwise good people forget to be fair and measured in their judgements. Yes, he took 2 steps forward for instructing the release of the woman and 1 step back for tripping on her and gaslighting before the release so I agree with you there but let’s leave it at that until we get more evidence that he actually has done more wrong, yes? I might as well add here that I like this channel because tries to stay unbiased and educational.
@@hello3146typed a paragraph instead of just licking the cop’s boot. move on
@@hello3146 So many cops join for the POWER and authority
And when their pathetic little egos get hurt they lash out with that power because that is the only way they feel like "a man"
These man babies should be screened out and never allowed into law enforcement in the first place

"if the officer did anything wrong he wouldn't be here right now." What a gigantic lie.
Man like do he not know how many cops have been fired for fucked up shit yet have been rehired by other precincts for failing to do a background check?
1000% trying to gaslight her!
Yeah that's ignorance at best
You know nothing about the initial incident
@@dicksherman284 it is 100% a lie to say that "if an officer did something wrong he wouldn't be on the force"...dick eating ain't healthy big dawg
This is also a good reason why cops should not be allowed to mute their bodycam.
It should be illegal.
I can understand the audio being muted after the fact, if they are truly discussing something sensitive, but the cop on the scene shouldn't have the ability to mute their cameras.
And the cops really shouldn't decide it anyways, even after the fact. It'd become a meme just like the "we've investigated ourselves, and determined we did no wrong" has become.
it should be considered obstruction of justice when theyre obviously conspiring to ruin peoples lives
@@pharynx007maybe mute in the cases of minors, but everyone else should be recorded for their safety. If you’ve ever heard how cops talk when their mics are muted is definitely not professional. Common phrases are “how can we ruin this guys day” or “let’s f$*k him/her over”. At the very least, even more transparency is obviously needed due to the continued abuse of power that many officers continue show. An unmute law combined with the abolishing of qualified immunity would solve many problems
A cop interfering in any way with the function of their body cam should be fined or disciplined automatically, at this point. Unless it's the end of their shift or they're walking into a bathroom, there's zero excuse to shut it off. NOTHING a cop is doing during their shift should be incriminating, so there's zero excuse for them needing to have private conversations away from the eyes of their own auditors.
It’s really weird how the cop made sure everyone knew it was personal.
This poor woman. 😢
You can tell she is traumatized!
Muting or turning off body cameras should be considered conspiracy to commit a felony!
They are allowed to mute while they talk strategy. I forget why.
But, this isn’t the cop’s fault. They are supposed to mute, or the FOIA release would be muted later.
@@toribarron5700 I don't mind being muted after to protect some privacy, but the officer shouldn't get to choose what is recorded. In a perfect world they shouldn't be concerned about what is said because their actions should be honest in all circumstances. It's conspiracy. Police should be like robots, functioning with clear intent and unwavering commitment to excellence. Literally, every time it is done it is deprivation of rights or fraud. Cops have a type of authority which could still retain discretion in most cases but as an arm of the judicial system shouldn't conceal even those moments from the citizens.
I dont know how to be more compelling than to emphasize just how wrong it is.
@@gmgunner I agree for the most part. I just see folks make that same comment on so many videos and AFAIK, cops are supposed to mute at certain times. So it is hard for me to be upset at them for following procedure.
I agree, the procedure itself is fishy. Audio could be muted later for FOIA requests and it would be good to have uncensored video for all parties when things go wrong.
It is clearly tampering with evidence.
@@toribarron5700 That's completely untrue. Every public record is subject to FOIA, and the exceptions don't read like, "Uh we think it makes us look bad." Sure, pigs and their keepers TRY this stuff, but it never works. All body cam footage is a public record. Taking steps to keep the record from reaching the public, via muting and such, is at a minimum a violation of their policy, and in some states a crime of conspiracy.
If you voluntarily turn off your body camera, you immediately waive your qualified immunity. There is absolutely zero reason to turn off your body camera while on duty unless you are trying to conceal something that should not be doing.
Law or policy or just a good idea?🇺🇸
@@donniekraus1273Wish it was standing courtroom procedure/law...like tampering with evidence.
Other than going to the bathroom.
They just will play the retard card “it malfunctioned”. I agree. America has become the standard of failure and I can’t stand it.
Exactly!
Her intense hatred was at fault lmao not the fact cops literally decide I'm in bad mood so when someone makes me mad I'm gonna act like a toddler and throw a hissy fit. Gaslighting at its best.
This cop should have been fired immediately
Arrest for failing to signal? They aren’t even trying to hide their retaliation.
Right I’m like wow
I highly doubt they would usually even pull someone over at all for failing to signal one time, unless it was a pretext stop.
As evident from the footage, her "fail to signal" caused no hazardous condition - threat to public safety. This was 100% retaliatory.
America is a police state. No single citizen believes someone should be arrested for a signal. Not single sane person. Fine me one lol.
Where I live cops make the most infractions out of anyone but hey… they are above the law
Allowing cops to arrest for minor traffic laws gives waaay too much power to the cops.
Agreed, ridiculous that just forgetting to use a turn signal cam land you in jail and your car towed.
I thought Texas was pretty free. I guess not.
@jeremybrooks7415 Nope. Cops in Texas are out of control.
@@jeremybrooks7415Texas has never been free 💀
Waste of time during that time drugs, guns,humans, money and crime is taking place in plain sight
And then he acts like he didn't know her name!! I think it's. . .you already told dude you know her.
Body cameras shouldn't be able to be turned off. If they do they should be fired and lose their law enforcement license.
The fact that you can be arrested and put into jail for failing to signal a lane change is so insane.. how is this not a police state?
Arrested because a cop says he didn't see a turn signal. 😮
And we’re supposed to be fine that we can fight it in court, when 60% of cases don’t go to court. Police state 101
It is Texas.. it's best to avoid the state all together
@@michaelmagaw6870 i avoid texas like the plague
It's just as bad in Oklahoma
Immediate F for both for turning off bodycams.
Should literally be illegal
And F for not imprisoning the abuser akers for his earlier abuse and lies
The F should be for felony. They literally conspired to commit crimes, destroyed evidence and admitted to depravation of civil rights. Both deserve time in prison.
"If you choose to be defined by what happened to you in the past, then you will always continue to be that person" - Sgt Scott
Sgt Scott is a true stoic. Responsibility and compassion to your fellow man go hand in hand.
I really love the part; “‘think that could be an issue?’ ‘Given your history, couldn’t it?’” Then proceeds to say if he did nothing wrong, he wouldn’t be here.
Scott deserves a D. No way he gets a passing grade from me.
a) He not only didn't stop the arrest he is the one who cuffed and stuffed her.
b) He didn't discontinue the arrest because it was wrong. He did it to save his buddy.
c) He turned off his camera to hide evidence.
d) He lectured her at the end saying that exercising her rights will just keep getting her into these situations. Instead he should have lectured his buddy on restraint and professionalism.
If he had not done ONE of these then I'd give him a C.
D IS CORRECT. Unfortunately.
@@user-fm2iw3um3uDeserves an F in my book
Yeah this grading seemed really lenient for the cop especially after everything happened.
A) is incorrect. Scott didn’t cuff and stuffed her. That was Henderson.
Everything else correct.
D- at best
The Civil Rights Lawyer covered this story a little while ago. Her citation was dismissed, he posted the proof she had obtained. Also he had a copy of the dashboard cam and it clearly showed she DID signal the lane change. 100% retaliation! I want to see a lawsuit ma'am 😊
Right? You can see it briefly on the officer's bodycam near the beginning of this video too.(the dashcam version is much clearer though).
This video also clips out the officer's reckless driving while chasing her down too. He did far worse things than "failing to signal" during his pursuit. Swerving into incoming traffic, speeding, illegal right turn from the left lane(while cutting someone off on the right lane too).
All for a bogus made-up reason+his feelings getting hurt.
This guy should be off the force.
I hope she did sue the cop
She didn’t signal the lane change going into the left lane. He showed her signal the lane change from the left lane into the right to make it look like the officer was wrong. Not saying it’s something she should go to jail for, but she did commit the violation she was stopped for.
@@bfd5395That's because everyone is supposed to move over for the police on the side of the road when they are in a traffic stop. Otherwise she would have drove into him, he only cared to stop her because of the middle finger.
I hope the chief gets involved with this case
I appreciate that you called out Officer Scott and his ridiculous statement that obviously this officer hadn’t done anything wrong previously because he was let off and that the system worked and if he wasn’t here and this situation, bullshit would’ve occurred
A complete investigation need to be done in this incident.
Texas allowing arrest for minor infractions like lane changes is absolutely ridiculous. Why even give that option? It's clearly going to be abused and it's completely illogical to allow cops to arrest on whichever offense they choose
Lobbying likely. Bought state purchased by the prison industrial complex.
Texas is a shi state
Like they say, everything's buggered in Texas.
... or fabricate. 😎👍
The Constitution does too, as highlighted in the video.
Texas doesn't say it's prohibited, but for states that do, it's a state issue. A 4th amendment lawsuit could not be brought against police in any state for an arrest over a traffic ticket.
Wow that cop is a danger to the public!

And the officer ACTUALLY arrested her?? Unbelievable that he is allowed to harass her in that way….disgusting!!!
I do NOT appreciate the Sergeant gaslighting the woman and trying to convince her that officer Aker's bad conduct was HER fault.
You forgot to show the best part. The camera footage from the police car shows her using her blinker when she changed lanes after he said she did not. So this stop was 100% retaliatory.
Yes it was
Exactly. And she did it both times. She used her blinkers seconds after she flipped him off, then signaled when turning right.
Does anyone know if she filed charges on him? That would be the cherry on top!
👍
I hope she takes it to court. The video clearly shows she signaled. This is definitely retaliation
I said this in the original video and I'll say it again. This is the most clear 1A retaliation I've ever seen among thousands of hours of body-worn camera video. He admits multiple times, *and even writes in his report!,* that he arrested her for 'flicking [him] off'. He deserves to have his certification pulled and to never work as a LEO again. His actions were *criminal* in this encounter and he should have his qualified immunity stripped and all damages be paid by him personally.
Cosigned.
“Fuck yeah it was illegal, watch nothing happen to me.” - That Cop probably
A retired LEO that agrees with you 100%.
you should get a petition going to have some type of charges brought against him. what he did was clearly wrong.
I wish someone could post the original video!
If failure to signal is a misdemeanor in Texas then just about every cop in Texas is guilty of this crime.
Its the fact that he admitted he had issues with her in the past that makes me believe he is a bad cop. This was payback and she should file a complaint on him.
I saw this one. What made me mad is that the other 2 cops went along with the bogus arrest until the supervisor got there. It’s still incredible that they do these things on camera, but his feelings mattered more.
That is because there are no consequences for their actions. Bad and corrupt cops hide behind qualified immunity.
@@MrIdasam and their unions.
The sergeant was on site the entire arrest.
superviser was there the whole time.....
@user-cm4lo8ek9u yeah facts don't matter to people who live in their feelings
the fact that the other 2 officers were OK with this, tells you how inept and cowardly and power-hungry law enforcement officers are.
It’s amazing what people will forgive if they want to get away with doing the same thing later.
And they wonder why people hate them so much how dense can they be
Yeah, that "back the Blue" mentality was prevalent in the Nazi Concentration camps too! P.s. EVERYTHING the Wehrmacht soldiers & guards did was LEGAL under Nazi Law! Sound familiar?!?! The 2ndAmendment wasn't because we just had a war against DEER!
Yep all the good cops are on the other shift, as usual
I will never understand why the term of "good cops" is still used. Let's get it straight, good cops do not exist. The 2 words, good and cops can not exist toghether. Is like saying a healthy nuclear b0mb or the cold sun. Is BS.
I was threatened with arrest after I had words with 2 cops about my son's death, (and how they were handling it) and the police chief yelled "Arrest Her!" To the other cop and after he snarkily and smugly told me to "Have a nice day," at which, my totally unplanned reaction was to say, "Fuck you!" I ignored him and walked out. The lower level cop followed me out, and i started making a scene while other people were around, saying, "For WHAT?!" "WHAT DID I DO?!" The lower level cop whimped out. He knew they had done me wrong. He knew (probably) that saying that was my freedom of speech.
If you can get arrested for failing to signal in Texas then half of the population of Texas should be in jail
Both cops are dirty AF!
This!
The Sargent was smart enough to know that a good lawyer would have torn his buddy apart by asking him how many times he had arrested people for the same " crime". This is a bad cop and needs his POC removed .
I wouldn’t mind an end of watch 😂
Yes remove his people of color!
@@pacmaninchains statements like this are exactly why officers, corrupt or not, approach situations with more trepidation than is necessary.

@@MeestahJones keep carrying water.....
His People of colour? What exactly is POC in this contaxt?
This is the first policeman I've seen who upholds the Constitution ... I have five cops in my immediate family.
Under arrest for failing to signal a lane change. That is absurd, and 100% retaliatorily. IF she was guilty of that, which his dash cam clearly shows the blinker on, arresting her for a simple traffic violation is ludicrous.
It may be constitutionally reasonable, it is patently absurd. How many people are arrested by this police department for a simple traffic violation when they immediately pulled over and were 100% cooperative?
The fact that he admitted any other person that had done what she had done would have been issued a ticket and NOT arrested shows gross abuse of power. This cop needs to be fired. It is good Sgt. Scott for calling him out on it and telling him to ticket and release her, but he had NO CALL to tell her she was pulled over because her giving him the finger drew attention to herself and the supposed traffic violation, and she should not go around giving people the finger.
Also, any cop that willfully turns off their body cam during a stop/arrest/interaction with the public needs to be fired. They only do that to hid things. If her phone had not been on and recording, this would be a lot different.
The fact that cops are still allowed to shut off the body cams is crazy

😂 Points have been made
"Fliked me off"
...along with "completeing a traffic stop"
No reasonable person thinks this wasn't retaliatory.
My dumb brain skipped the n't in wasn't and I started to write an essay 🤣
Fascist bootlickers wouldn't see it. 😂
Doesn't matter what a reasonable person believes.
@@_soupnazi Actually, in the law it often does. There are many laws that include that "reasonable person" language.
But reason is also how we differentiate between different emotional points of view, and biases. So yeah reason is extremely valuable.
@@Quinn37 Ok we're not discussing contract law here. Criminal law has a higher standard of proof. Most reasonable people know that Trump intentionally tried to overturn the election with force, yet he is still a free man that has not spent one day in prison for his multiple crimes. It doesn't matter what a reasonable person believes, it has to be beyond a reasonable doubt.
He arrested her out of Retaliation! It's not against the law to flip a Cop off!!! I hope she sued him!!! I have Police Officers in my family and this Cop's behavior would make them SICK!!!!
Texas needs to get it right. Failure to signal should never be an offense worthy of an arrest.
The supervisor lecturing the lady for using her rights is annoying. She had zero reason to be pulled over. Zero.
He's just as bad as the other guy. He's probably been involved in lawsuits or something
I think he lectured her to move on, and not cause a hazard on the road while exercising her first amendment rights.
I think the guy at least deserves a B
@@nodekapunk though he told her to move on he also told her to stop exercising her 1a right and blamed the officers behavior on her freedom to do so. Goodness you people will ignore your own eyes and ears to push your nonsense won't you?
@@nodekapunk Except she wasn't a hazard. He didn't know that at the time, but if you watch the video:
1. There wasn't a left lane switch
2. She did signal, although briefly, when pulling into the right lane--but he was already chasing her by then
3. She did signal the right turn and her turn signal was still on during the altercation.
He’s worse than annoying. He’s as bad as the others. He’s just experienced enough to avoid trouble. He actually blamed her for the whole ordeal and defended a crooked cop.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry"
That is literally the reaction he wanted from her, and that alone proves he is unfit to be a police officer.
When his fellow thugs go along and do not stop an officer from committing an illegal arrest, they are just as guilty.
I know, I was like, nooo, stay tough girlie
@@JaneCooper190072 fr, sucks that the little punk with a badge was intimidating to her (and she had bad runins with him already). These cops deserve to get their bullshit shoved right back in their face. It actually pissed me off so much when he said "you're under arrest for failure to signal". I didn't even know that was possible, but just another bs arrest reason for the cop gang members.
Completely retaliatory. This cop should be fired for dereliction of duty. THIS IS NOT WHY WE HIRE POLICE TO SERVE AND PROTECT!
You guys are the best. I love how you explain everything. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Being arrested for a minor traffic infraction, one word: Insane
Edit: Thanks for the likes and reactions, that’s more interaction than i have from all my video’s
Excuse me it's nearly dark and you don't have your lights on, I'm gonna have to take you in. 😂
@@faytleingod1851 It's nearly dark and you didn't turn on your headlights when pulling out from the driveway. You are under arrest.
@@kousterx you have a air freshener hanging from your mirror obstructing your view, you're under arrest! 😂
@HotshotDan what kind of psycho puts an air freshener on a mirror? What air is it freshening?
Sorry sir but I just seen you breathe air, you’re under arrest
This ABSOLUTELY needs to be fired immediately. He absolutely proved his ego is understandably extremely dangerous and is a ticking time bomb for a potential major lawsuit award. He proved that he is an absolute total worthless taxpayer liability.
absolutely
100% chance he'd be hiding outside your kids classroom while (sounds of children screaming has been removed)
The supervisor too.
@@justanothercomment416 100%
You mean he's a good cop?
"If you choose to be defined by what happened to you in the past, then you will always be that person"
It is sooo nice to hear an officer (especially one in supervisory role!) act with integrity, and insist on the same from his team.
Funny how the states that claim they love freedom, have some of the most draconian laws. Being able to arrest someone for a traffic infraction is INSANE.
Somebody in Austin tried to get the law changed so police couldn't arrest you for traffic infractions but lawmakers decided not to give up that power.
Try to exercise any "rights" during a traffic stop and cop can arrest you and impound and inventory your car.
@@markmixon1121 The US has become a police state. Texas is a police state on steroids.
It's absolutely discusting.
@@Defy5 "disgusting"
@@Solo-Road My spelling is eekwaly disgusting!
Nothing like being lectured about right and wrong by a criminal. Disgusting.
I swear watching and listening to that bs cooks me every time
That sergeant is not to be trusted at any level.
@@CanadianSmokeYou're out of your mind. All she did was gesture disrespect. His personal grievances didn't justify the arrest.
@@ChuckDanger What are you talking about? She was wrongly arrested for flipping the thin skinned chooch the bird and his sergeant ended releasing her with an admonishment... he knew the arrest was a blatant abuse of power and tried to mitigate it... not acceptable.
Right! It’s like the villain saying how dare you defeat me.
that cop straight up told her, "you were treated wrongly. If you are mad about it, we will do it again".
Awesome work by ATA for digging up all the legal details.
This cop is petty, vindictive 12 y.o. He's being issued gun, badge is a danger to community.
Exactly. Makes me wonder what other spiteful shenanigans he's done over the years. Unfortunately, the next person he comes in contact with will be on the receiving end of his misplaced aggression.
Cop should be fired for being a grown ass adult who doesn't know it's "flip off", not "flick off"
I was going to say this. I'm happy you said it first. It drives me crazy when someone says "flick off". You don't flick someone the bird. You flip them the bird.
It sounds like the second cop did it too.
😄 I guess they don't teach cops that in police academy.
Both are technically correct. Google 'flick off meaning slang' and see for yourself.
@@timpatrickhanna Both are technically correct. Google 'flick off meaning slang' and see for yourself.
@@sethaldrich6902 and flick off is also slang for masturbating by flicking a woman's clitoris.
Slang, by definition, is not "technically" correct. If it was technically correct it wouldn't be called slang. It would just be a word.
I remember I was passing my there and was pulled over for passing an emergency vehicle though I was with the flow of traffic, the officer pull out his gun and arrested me towing my truck and never returned my ID so I couldn’t get my truck, took me 2 hours walking to the station and getting the officer to return my ID and got my truck back. Will never drive thru there again.
THANK YOU SGT. SCOTT.
“If he did something wrong he wouldn’t be here right now” literally said right after he makes an unconstitutional arrest.
That statement was as re+arded as the “reason” for arrest. As if 1000’s of officers killing and making “mistakes” while on duty isn’t enough proof
He was slightly better then the flicked off cop but both are total douchebags
That supervisor also needs to be disciplined. He reminded me of the days when a cop would lecture a bruised and battered woman that if she didn’t want her husband to beat her, she should learn to be a better wife.
Exactly!
I had a cop tell me if I got a job, my bf wouldn't strangle me. They charged him with misdemeanor battery instead of felony strangling. He bailed out and came back to the apartment before I could even get a ride to go back to my parents. 14 years ago but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they still say it.
Never the less, he's got a point😂
@@CraigCampbell-lb9jv You think domestic violence is funny?? 🖕
True, maybe he was watching Pat Robinson from the ptl?
It is truly a rarely occurring event.
In Texas "cops" are Peace Officers. The main goal to not only keep the peace, but when possible help the peace. The officer, as mature adult, had the opportunity to make peace with this lady. Making peace with her was far more a priority than failing to signal a lane change.
Their was no "Good Cop" he let the woman go without being arrested. but he let the bogus traffic ticket stand. He also defended the "Bad Cop" and proceed to chew out the woman like she was a child.
The Sargent was just covering his own a22. If the traffic cop went ahead with this bogus arrest and the whole thing blew up in court and led to a civil lawsuit, it would come out that the Sargent was on the scene. He would essentially take the full blame then.
Are you suggesting that it is very adult to go around flipping people off who might have slighted you in the past? If you act like an infantile idiot, you will be treated like one.
😂😂😂 He wasn't there to witness the lane change, so how can he speak against that you 🔔end. 😅😅😅
@@mick9419don’t be naive, they always cover each other even when they know they’re wrong.
I think that's why "Good Cop" is in quotations. It's meant to be sarcastic.
An arrest for failing to signal?! That's ridiculous.
Funny how three cops couldn't figure that out...
Also it was an objective lie, she did signal. But in a society where cops can throw you in a cell over something as insignificant as that, whether you are actually guilty or not seems inconsequential. Hell, traffic court in America is just the process of a judge asking the officer "are they guilty?". Even video evidence is ignored in favor of a cops word.
To a cop, the law is a weapon they use AGAINST us, instead of a tool to protect us. GTHYMFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAC,KAC,MTWABP
The first cop pulled her over and requested the sergeant because he THOUGHT he was gonna get away with a BS arrest. Once the sergeant saw this crap happening, he didn't want to be party to a possible lawsuit so he told the first cop to let her go. They are both bad cops. One was just smarter than the other.
How was the sergeant bad for pointing out that the first officer was being inconsistent? He literally walked him through why he couldn’t just arrest her, that he just needed to give her a ticket. That’s what his job is. He wasn’t “bad.”
@@ravenzyblack no he only did it to avoid the later legal issues. He literally says “if he did anything wrong he wouldn’t still be here” despite the obvious wealth of officers who get let off after a measly “internal investigation” around the country
“You’re under arrest for failing to signal a lane change” is quite possibly the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard from a cops mouth…and I’ve watched every episode of ATA🤦🏼♂️
Especially the fact that the officer included the "she flicked me off" on the report.
My jaw literally hit the floor when he said that. Like wtf!
Seems like you didn't watch the acorn cop video
"shots fired shots fired I'm hit ! !" LMAOO
@@darsev7455Yeah, but those acorns are just sooooo dangerous.. lol
These officers should not be wasting air and water. Blaming the victim at the end is just the topper on the hate cake.
I'm sorry, but you can get arrested in texas for not using your signal to lane change? That is just completely absurd
He didn't stop the bad cop, he stood up for Akers
Bingo. He didn't correct any of these three clowns for what they were about to do. There was no consequences for any of this.
She needs to file a complaint and pursue legal action.
We live in Alaska and love to go road traveling in the lower 48.
I am keeping a list of states NOT to drive through. Tho, seeing that you can be arrested in Texas for not using a turn signal is scary in and of itself, there are a few other good reasons to stay away from Texas.
The fact both these officers are not fired and at least the first one is in jail proves how bad law enforcement actually is. This is actually unbelievable they are still on the streets.
