*YES* this is precisely why I want to be a prosecutor and one day a judge. It’s nice to know I’m not alone! *The only way the system can truly change is from the inside* .I love the ACLU and the important work they do. I begin studying for the LSAT this year so wish me luck! Thank you for this video.
Do not join the ABA. We will need a professional legal class.In the interim we must rely solely on juries to preside and decide in all matters civil snd criminal.The ABA is a criminal enterprise. I'll not press that argument here snd now as format constrains and your willingness to absorb unpleasant information don't favor it. You could read the other comments if you'd like.
Good information, but I hate to say that the music was distracting. It should be quieter, in the background, so we can focus on what the people are saying instead.
Yeah it's unfortunate they sort of over produced the video, its valuable points are obscured by the weird music, editing too many people into a short video. Such an important subject needs clarity to convey the seriousness of the problem.
I listened through my ear buds so perhaps that's why it didn't seem to distract from the important topic. I'm over a half a century old and I found this presentation of this topic; clean and clear.
Prosecutors need to be financially accountable for every case they take on. They should have to pay for wrongful prosecutions and pay for the defendants attorney fees.
How can you find out if your district attorney is up for reelection? Or that your district attorney is elected and not appointed? I'm having trouble searching this information about my region.
Being a prosecutor is fun! As I faced the presiding prosecutor( he'd brushed aside the designated one) I realized the enthusiasm everyone has for righteous zeal.The standby counsel had been relegated to that position for his failure to plead me out. Out of our rights and into the arms of our overlords, that is the chief function of public defenders. That they must give the appearance of protecting the rights of their "client" earns them the popular handle public pretenders. So contagious was the merriment that afternoon in our private session that I was caught up in the moment."Throw the book at him!"I wanted to shout. It made me glum that they'd thrown it out the window long ago. The assistant prosecutor never looked up over her swollen belly nor spoke after the seated prosecutor began to hold forth. Perhaps she worried for her unborn's place in this America her compliance had already birthed. Why not publish the accurate account of all proceedings? So proud of themselves and yet the felony transcripts were ruthlessly revised into forged documents, official papers that are the fake history of Orwellian nightmare made our. waking one as well. I suppose even this brief comment will likely be edited or deleted. The falsification of felony transcripts is a greater evil than the crimes against our persons and due process it is meant to conceal. The defendant loses the right to meaningful appeal having already been denied ever preceding one. The jury is duped into being a rubber-stamp. All are defrauded. No consent to be governed was ever explicitly or implicitly given. No surrender to an authority that resides in us alone is now acknowledged in those formerly entrusted with its lawful enforcement. Rule of Law and American Due Process must at long last be established. The ouster of the Bar and its abettors leaves juries in charge of all matters civil and criminal. We face a crucible so trying we will certainly wish we'd left the justice system in the possession of the treasonous , yes,treasonous American Bar Association. Steel yourself and brace others! Persist and we will secure the blessings of liberty fo ourselves and our posterity.
One of the best comments I’ve ever read on UA-cam. My son who has no criminal history, no drug use, etc is being charged with felony child abuse. What did he do you might be wondering. He put his 2 year old son to bed in he and his girlfriends bed at 7:30pm. Once is son was asleep, he removed the chain from the front door so his sons mom could get into the house after wrapping Christmas presents at her parents house. He then laid down next to his son and fell asleep. His son woke up and walked out of the house. Thankfully he was found by a neighbor. The police came to my sons house where they found him still asleep in his bed. The advised him of what happened. He’s now being charged with felony child abuse. No marks on his child. No mention of an unkempt home. No drugs or alcohol involved. Just an exhausted dad who’s child woke up And wandered outside. A felony charge of child abuse. I’m beyond disgusted with justice system right now. And I work in law enforcement. That’s the most devastating part. I question everything now.
@@tammilutz7955 Thank you for your support. Hold fast and do not give in. Your son will have only as much "rights" as he can rent but if he does not get worn down by having this get dragged out ( right to speedy trial by a jury of his peers, anyone?) he may prevail. My brother served honorably as a policeman and I'm not hostile or unsympathetic to their position but they they are an occupying force keeping an imposed order. No consent of the governed can be given when the true nature of the social order is hidden and kept that way by secrecy.
This narrative that prosecutors should stop prosecuting criminals for crimes is what’s leading to increased rates of violent crimes in places like NYC Chicago and LA
Actually, in America the defendant gets quite a bit of advantages and privileges. In fact, America is one of the few countries in the world where the defendant gets so many advantages in court. Just because the incarceration rate is increasing does not mean that prosecutors are in the wrong. And that’s not to say every prosecutor is perfect of course
I am reading the book "Just Mercy" by Bryan Stevenson, Founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and I am riveted. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to solve the problem of mass incarceration in our country is to elect leaders who are willing to address the problem head on, calling it what it is, a job/wealth -creating system that preys on the poor, the minority, the mentally-ill, the addicted and the disenfranchised.
Excellent and informative as far as it went, but I can't use this information to vote in better prosecutors if I do not have a way to find out what the prosecutorial behavior is of prosecutors up for election.
Also... To bring the current immigration catastrophy to light, we must address all of the US interventions in Latin America, starting with Secretary Clinton's support of the coup in Honduras and the establishing, enabling and support of all the autocratic military regimes in Guatemala, El Salvador, etc. from the previous administration, going back a century or so. If the US regime is so intent to quash any glimmers of hope and democracy to emerge in its neighborhood for the benefit of its corporate masters, then it should also be held accountable in the World Court and must bear the consequences of its inhumanity in a humane manner! And yes, curtail the corrupt prosecutors' powers.
100% true, Ara. All the countries of Central America have suffered under U.S. foreign policy. We gotta keep hammering that point home. People don't leave the home that they grew up in unless they really need to. It's not about Disneyland and free lunch. It's about survival.
That's been going on for years and just cuz the media shows u, NOW your mad? Smh the democrats can really side track everyone just to make trump look bad, people read between the lines here! Same stuff been going on for years and now why all of the sudden do u care? I sure didn't seem to care a few years ago when it was worse! Ask yourself why! People the democrats are just trying to side track the people! Look at the whole picture, and ask yourself; what's REALLY GOING ON HERE?!
Truthseeker: "just cuz the media shows u"??? No need to adopt the condescending attitude. What do you know about Ara's or my background in following the wretched history of U.S. destruction in Central America? The point is that the media, with the exception of Democracy Now!, Pacifica Radio and a handful of other alternative media, is NOT reporting the history of atrocity-filled interventions committed by and at the behest of U.S. corporations and their CIA and military lackeys. Supporting extremist right wing military dictatorships., training death squads at the "School of the Americas" in Ft. Benning, GA, direct and indirect coups de etat, actual invasions - the obvious legacy of that history explains why so many Central Americans pay coyotes huge fees and risk their lives working their way north through Mexico, an insanely dangerous journey, to seek asylum here. By the way, I can't count how many times I marched from East LA or Boyle Heights to L.A. City Hall or how many benefits I played piano in to support the cause for freedom and justice in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama in the C.A. Solidarity Movement, throughout the 80s and 90s, so kindly stop pontificating and don't presume to know the backgrounds of folks who comment on social media until you have asked.
The constitution insures the right to a FAIR trial. That's not happening. An Allegation is made (could be true or false) booked and thrown in jail.( Freedom removed) 20 days later while still in confinement a public defender appears " here's the deal, take an admittance to guilt and your sentence will be reduced. Take this thing to trial ( enter a bit guilty plea) and lose , your sentence triples. 97% take the guilty plea down offer. Which consequently fks their life up and their families. Because potential employers do back ground check 7 years and in many cases some places do life time back ground checks. The system is a f piece of shit. (And all we can say well it's better then other countries) so when the father can't get employment and needs to feed his children he can't . So the problem is huge .cops have quotas, prosecuters have quotas and so do fking car salesman.but to the effect entire families are ruined the car salesman is the better person.so when the guy can't get an income he's left to violate the public perhaps by theft. So this bullshit that the system is for public safety is total bullshit brainwash 101. The bible prior to Jesus was unforgiving.jesus suffered as a human and he called upon God to have mercy.. as the system is now a guy serves his time he gets out and the system continues to punish him and his family ( as did pre Jesus time) .how? The 7 year potential employer back ground check, the 7 year rent an apartment back ground check. The worste thing to ever happen is the privitization of incarceration facilities, Traded on nasdaq.. I am a moderate Republican (mainly abortion ) but lean heavily torwards justice reform and and issues involving homelessness and mental health . I've met some really sincere great cops. But I've encountered the ones whose only objective is climbing the ranks and have little if any interest in the effects their actions will have on others. george Gasscon Los Angeles has evolved and grown and has realized the problem .he was once an ass hole cop, he has come to realize the harm his past activations as a cop had on entire families and how it compounded the problem and didn't solve a f thing. That he could man up to his revelation is a great turn for her man rights
It's the prosecutors the police the judges even the attorneys are all corrupt. There were 2 different cops at 2 different times transporting someone to court and they were going 120mph the cops reply was "I can go this fast, it's the perks of being a cop"!! What? Are they invincible now?? Is that what they teach them in cop school? To do what u want cuz ur a cop! What ever happened to being an example and upholding the law?? If the cops don't do it, then why should we???????? Who sets the example anymore? NOT THE COPS, NOT THE PROSECUTORS, EVEN JUDGES AND ATTORNEYS AND THEY EXPECT US TO????? WHY? It's all for REVENUE!! Ruining everyone's life for REVENUE!! SO SAD!
The DA has the burden of proof and has to convience a jury of someone's peers that a person on trial is guilty beyond doubt. So the DA does not have the power in court, the people of the jury do. Certain violations have set penalties and have mandatory incarceration times. The person with the most power is the individual. He or she has the power of choice. Choice, free will to follow the law or not.
The vast majority of cases (over 90%--conservatively) NEVER go to a trial; that's part of the problem. People who can't afford bail may spend years in jail just waiting for a trial, and those who insist on a trial because they know they are innocent are often intimidated into accepting guilty pleas.
The problem is the prosecutor decides what youre actually going to be charged and the crimes the jury will hear that you've allegedly committed . Also they handle the plea process and have the power to drop a case. For example, if you get into a fight at the bar the prosecutor has the option to formally charge you with simple assualt or felony assualt or say boys will be boys and drop the charges. Another example is if you have a large qty of marijuana, the prosecutor can decide to charge you with misdemeanor possession or possession with intent to distribute, which is a felony. Hell you can write in your diary how you plan to kill a person, then do it, and the prosecutor can charge you with manslaughter instead of first degree murder if he or she so desires. Depending on the charge this will 1. Determine your bail amount, and two likely force you into a plea to the lesser charge. If you cannot afford the bail it is even more likely that you'll plea. Prosecutors have tremendous power.
And, the world is flat. And, the moon landing was staged. And, Kennedy was killed by Cuba. And, the deep state exists. And, aliens built the pyramids. See, I can do it too.
Prosecutors aren't Above the Law just like people are innocent until proven guilty and we live in a democracy where your vote actually counts. Where has Common Sense gone in this country?

I really want to be a prosecutor to help people, yet these videos just show how dark the field is.
It’s really discouraging :(
Thas because it is dark I’m going through it
That awkward moment when you're in law school to be a criminal prosecutor LOL
The pain😔😔
Why is that awkward
@@omayma4921 Because the video is making prosecutors out to be bad people when they’re just enforcing the law.
still at it?
@@ceoofbeans9041 Yea, I'm actually a lawyer now. I made that comment when I was in my first year of law school.
This video is another inspiration for me to continue my education to be a lawyer!
Thank you ACLU

Do prosecutos inform if i got any bail violation?

We tried to get rid of our current DA during our last special election in June. No such luck.
I’m sorry :c never lose hope and stop voting. Negligence and ignorance are the antithesis to our way of life.
