Which is funny, because they can quite legally detain him with virtually no pretext, only "they're running an investigation" is required. (Texas has that as up to 24 hours for a misdemeanor, 72 hours for a felony) My understanding was that he could leave if he wanted (which he didn't want, that would mean they successfully ran him off), they just wanted to keep him out of the building, and if he didn't leave, then arrest him.
@@ThinkingNow Yup; it's that whole "rarely face consequences" thing. They get to destroy people's lives on a whim, but when it happens to them, it's somehow "unfair". A while back I figured that the ability to cheaply record and publish high resolution videos taken of police interactions was going to bring down the thin blue line; I'm elated to see it happening. Now all that remains is to see the chaff get sorted from the wheat. I'd tell any cop "if you get off on asserting power over people because they can't do anything about it, get out of this job while you can do so on your own terms. They day when you could escape scrutiny because a court would take your word over the suspect's is over."
That's a detainment. Police don't even have to say you can't leave for it to be a detainment. All it takes is for a "reasonable person" to feel that they're not free to go due to the way the police behave and exert their authority. Basically, if you ask "am I free to go?" and they say anything other than "yes," you're being detained.

Unfortunately police officers in the US can be released from personal responsibility or “excused” from any personal penalty/consequences in cases where a citizen’s life is disrupted due to an officer’s misunderstanding, misinterpretation and even straight up ignorance of the law. Meanwhile, citizens are expected to know the law, statutes and any applicable changes/additions and when they don’t, they are immediately detained by police. It’s backwards when law enforcement is not expected to know the laws tax payers are paying them to enforce while citizens are expected to do so
@@harperthegoblin if the same education is required, then they might not become police but lawyers instead. There is an overlap in salaries but lawyers have the edge.

Last time I was in Stamford CT I was driving an armored truck for Dunbar, Im pretty damn sure it was Officer Barquero who I encountered and cried like a baby because he didn't like where I parked or the fact that refused to move until my partner returned. I then had to instruct him to step away from the door of the truck before I contacted law enforcement against him due to his suspicious behavior around my truck and demanding that I open doors. My partner got in and I drove away without talking to him further, and never saw him again until today
Former armored guy as well. Dunbar and Garda. I had a cop try to get me to open and board I refused and he had to deal with my hopper as a go between. Dude was pissed but it's a safety thing.
A cop demanded that you open the doors to an armored truck, while the cop was armed with deadly weapons? Why is he still alive? If I approached an armored car armed with a pistol and a taser and demanded the doors get opened, would my life end in that moment? It should. All that aside, maybe he was trying to get a civil asset forfeiture. That's a lot of money that *COULD* be used to buy drugs. Yes, that very argument has stood up to a CAF challenge.
@@arinerm1331 yeah, they followed an armored car from a pot dispensary, knowing it would be full of cash, and seized the money under civil asset forfeiture law because darn near every bill in America has drug residue on it.
I read somewhere that after an eminent domain seizure that some rich guy came into town and wanted to take one of the council members home. The council member said you can't take this land because it's been in my family for hundreds of years. The rich guy said sure I can just like you took that other guys property. I think the other council members let the rich guy take this particular property because they were afraid that he would go after their property.
Funny how they are conspiring to commit a crime of illegal search and seizures, as the Auditor is well within his rights to protest as he did. Hand that Auditor another $50K. 🤑🤑
You'd think that after he successfully sued them several times for violating his rights, that they'd catch on and just not engage with him. That they can't help themselves shows what kind of people they are.
The best advice I learn from this channel is once the police is going to arrest you no matter if they are 1000% wrong. Do not resist!! Let them arrest you and remain silent. I notice in both cases he had two charges none of them were resisting and all charges were drop. Thank you for the informative video
Yep always always always fight it in court, not at the arrest. Fight it at the arrest you will lose more often than not no matter how in the right you are.

@@remisan7214 or............ he's giving the government a relatively cheap lesson in how their officers should not act. maybe if he keeps doing it, the police department will catch enough heat from officials to get their shit together, which could potentially result in avoiding much more costly encounters down the road with the public in general. the only way many police departments will start to care about the public's rights is if their leaders them force them to care and money talks.
@@remisan7214 Hell no, the previous riots already had deaths. This time I hope the cops stop you, cause they supported the rioters. Except the rare exception like David Dorn.

another great video by ATA. When I saw the original video, I was amazed at the actions by the police and how they did everything they could to arrest the two men despite questioning even if they had reason. What took the cake was being arrested because other people's feelings were hurt over words. I was not shocked to see the charges dropped so quickly.
This is the same guy that went to a blue lives matter rally holding a “pigs lives matter” sign while wearing a PIG COSTUME!! Freaking LEGEND of a man!!
This dude is so calm with the police, asked the right questions, he did great. And eminent domain should never be used for private corporations, regardless of tax revenue they may bring in. If an owner doesn't want to sell, that should be it. However, I'd be willing to bet if the company just throws a little more money at the owner, most people will find justification to move.
It _might_ be a different matter if there was an actual _negative_ effect.... but simply the _lack_ of a _potential_ positive should not be sufficient!!
These corporations feel so entitled. They want to stiff the home owner by requiring he takes market value for the home rather than offering him a premium for his property. If the cooperations want to make a profit then the home owner deserves to make a generous profit as well
This wasn't for a company but to expand a road. Taking for private use should be illegal. I remember, years ago, seeing a case on TV where a city took an independent hardware store and then sold the building to another hardware store. Trump tried to buy a house near his failing casino to expand his parking lot. The elderly woman refused, so he got the city to do it instead through eminent domain, she got much less than Trump had offered.
Auditor Picard , his continuing mission : to explore strange new laws. To seek out tyrants and threats to personal freedom. To boldly go where no auditor has gone before before.
"When he's done, we will seize the two cameras as evidence." Yet another situation where we all act like we don't know what this guy is doing. As though this isn't a blatant psychological ploy to force compliance through intimidation. Once you start seeing these things, you can't ever not see them again. It can frustrate you pretty thoroughly.
They did seem a bit trigger happy to take his devices and arrest him. I don’t like his sign for a public place, but they need solid legal ground before considering to take his stuff and arrest him.

The government where I grew up seized several homes through a similar law and it was equally horrific and heartbreaking. It send the message that nothing is truly yours and it's gross.
City needs to review the performance of the police chief when repeated arrests result in dropped charges. There appears to be insufficient training of police or official oppression by civil servants. Either way it is the police chief's responsibility to prevent obviously inappropriate arrests and violation of constitutional rights
@@CZpersi yes but that is more on reporting because people don't know that their Sheriff's are terrible and don't vote them out Less democracy isn't going to help, holding people accountable will.
The fact that the department in the area has failed to give their officers proper training even after the first few incidents is really appalling. I'd argue they're willfully wasting taxpayer money at this point. Imagine how quickly they would get training if the officers and departments faced the consequences of these lawsuits instead of the people
That first cop needs fired. He threatens arrest and threatens to seize the cameras as evidence without reasonable and articulatable evidence of a crime being committed.

A while back I figured that the ability to cheaply record and publish high resolution videos taken of police interactions was going to bring down the thin blue line; I'm elated to see it happening. Now all that remains is to see the chaff get sorted from the wheat. I'd tell any cop "if you get off on asserting power over people because they can't do anything about it, get out of this job while you can do so on your own terms. They day when you could escape scrutiny because a court would take your word over the suspect's is over."
That's a detainment. Police don't even have to say you can't leave for it to be a detainment. All it takes is for a "reasonable person" to feel that they're not free to go due to the way the police behave and exert their authority.
Basically, if you ask "am I free to go?" and they say anything other than "yes," you're being detained.

Stanford Prison Experiment
They should need as much training as lawyers.
Unfortunately police officers in the US can be released from personal responsibility or “excused” from any personal penalty/consequences in cases where a citizen’s life is disrupted due to an officer’s misunderstanding, misinterpretation and even straight up ignorance of the law. Meanwhile, citizens are expected to know the law, statutes and any applicable changes/additions and when they don’t, they are immediately detained by police. It’s backwards when law enforcement is not expected to know the laws tax payers are paying them to enforce while citizens are expected to do so
@@harperthegoblin if the same education is required, then they might not become police but lawyers instead. There is an overlap in salaries but lawyers have the edge.

Last time I was in Stamford CT I was driving an armored truck for Dunbar, Im pretty damn sure it was Officer Barquero who I encountered and cried like a baby because he didn't like where I parked or the fact that refused to move until my partner returned. I then had to instruct him to step away from the door of the truck before I contacted law enforcement against him due to his suspicious behavior around my truck and demanding that I open doors. My partner got in and I drove away without talking to him further, and never saw him again until today
He demanded you open the doors?! Definitely would have called the police. Scary
Former armored guy as well. Dunbar and Garda. I had a cop try to get me to open and board I refused and he had to deal with my hopper as a go between. Dude was pissed but it's a safety thing.
A cop demanded that you open the doors to an armored truck, while the cop was armed with deadly weapons? Why is he still alive? If I approached an armored car armed with a pistol and a taser and demanded the doors get opened, would my life end in that moment? It should.

the crime is on them! that camera will have a solar flare just when the cops speak.
Also you said “finding” a crime...exactly...there was no crime...so they went on a “fishing expedition” to try and “find” one...just saying.
You'd think that after he successfully sued them several times for violating his rights, that they'd catch on and just not engage with him. That they can't help themselves shows what kind of people they are.
"You just show up and expect to be heard like this?" Uhhh...yes. That is how protest works.
The best advice I learn from this channel is once the police is going to arrest you no matter if they are 1000% wrong. Do not resist!! Let them arrest you and remain silent. I notice in both cases he had two charges none of them were resisting and all charges were drop.

And eminent domain should never be used for private corporations, regardless of tax revenue they may bring in. If an owner doesn't want to sell, that should be it. However, I'd be willing to bet if the company just throws a little more money at the owner, most people will find justification to move.
It _might_ be a different matter if there was an actual _negative_ effect.... but simply the _lack_ of a _potential_ positive should not be sufficient!!
These corporations feel so entitled. They want to stiff the home owner by requiring he takes market value for the home rather than offering him a premium for his property. If the cooperations want to make a profit then the home owner deserves to make a generous profit as well
This wasn't for a company but to expand a road. Taking for private use should be illegal. I remember, years ago, seeing a case on TV where a city took an independent hardware store and then sold the building to another hardware store. Trump tried to buy a house near his failing casino to expand his parking lot. The elderly woman refused, so he got the city to do it instead through eminent domain, she got much less than Trump had offered.
