- Ramon Nomar Perez Perez says his life was turned upside down after going to jail for crimes he says, he didn't commit. The 22-year old Lehigh Acres man is now without a job and says his car was towed after missing payments several months in a row.
Remember people, a innocent citizen has LOST their JOB and CAR
Meanwhile the officer that made the false arrest still goes about his day like nothing happen
(make citizen WHOLE, not a mere case of charges dropped / dismissed)
@Gillian Finch or he was suspicious the guy stole his identity. When mine was stolen i knew exactly who it was behind it and we were NOT friends!
Like cops give a fuck whose lives they ruin. Arrest is an arrest to them. Let them figure it out in court and go into financial ruin. No sweat off their piggy backs.
@Gillian Finch he didn't know how the suspect got a photo of his ID, he heard about it later. And what does whether he supports BLM have to do with this incident at all?
Hope he sues
It's OK. The cops investigated themselves and determined they followed proper procedures. 😆
Sue them!!! The person should have had the original ID. Police messed up as again!
Millions should be coming to this man
I wouldn't be surprised if the guy who did the crime is a CID.
That man should have been arrested for false IDENTITY
That young man needs to be righted if that is at all possible. I pray all works out for this young man.
This is why I do not care for these club and saloon scanning apps. Why do they wisht to scan it for? Just look at the identification and verify it. The places that scan, I inform the person at the door that, "I do not do that" and not for him (Bouncer/Doorman) to do that. Of course, there are times that I am turned away, no problem at all with that. And, there are times where a bouncer/doorman agreed, and I gain entry. However, I've always been suspect of those scanning devices that these bouncers and door people use at these clubs, pubs, and saloons.
A photo on a phone was taken for an ID... Seriously? How Florida.
I'm Hispanic but I'm black
Smh
Having an arrest on your background, whether dropped or not, is a mark against you on all future job applications.
Yep and they know it...sue the city and state and perhaps us a citizens get tired as this hit our darn pockets! Reform is desperately needed!
SO TRUE.....WITH MULTIPLE DEGREES IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE FIELD....STILL CANT GET HIRED!!!🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
That's exactly why the government & the police need to make sure their records & pictures are removed from the main sites & any other sites they see it on . They should annotate what happened explaining that it wasn't him . Someone used his id . And they also should give him copies of it just in case he need to show anyone that he's innocent .
He can never qualify for section 8 housing either.
😡
And this is for the people always saying, if you don't break the law you don't have nothing to worry about.
Agree100%
My mom said that. I told her that they string up innocent people every day.
Yep. They’re either plain ignorant, lying, or delusional…..
Exactly
Anyone who says that will never believe this could happen to them, *until it does.*
Wait , the police accepted a photo id from off a phone , but didn't take a picture of the person , really , bullshit , just get any black male that fits the description
This isn't unusual. Police only need your name and DOB. They can look you up including your DL photo. Same as if you get pulled over without your DL.
A photo of your DL, is accepted in many states for some official purposes. Because things are so easily variable, there's a push to go digital.
It's also crime to give false information.
@@kewlztertc5386 ; No , you're missing the point or trying to , the id of the male that they let go , this is why I stated that they let him go without a photo of him , that leads to the last line of my comment ,
It happens way more than you think but because this guy was working had a car was trying to be middle-class and couldn't be spun as a thug they had to release him, police do literally go to the hood and just pick any black male who vaguely matches a description send them to jail and collect their bonus for solving the case so quick.
Now every single person in jail says that they are innocent so nobody even believes when people are actually innocent. And if you have any priors at all, maybe you had some weed maybe you got in a fight, you're now a criminal for life and whenever you need to be sacrificed to the for profit prison system you won't have the positive outcome this man has. And yes this is a positive outcome, heck even if he served a couple years he's luckier than most.
@@kennethlee8690 It's not unusual for police to accept a verbal name and DOB. It IS UNUSUAL for police to take photos of you outside of the booking room.
Yes some police may do it, but it's not policy.
Soft spoken, very polite, very positive, strong young Man.
Now the Victim has a Criminal Arrest Record, on Law Enforcement Computer System, for doing nothing......!
Just goddamn wrong.
Lawsuit I don’t care what they do they accuse you of the wrong person therefore lawsuit big-time make them pay for what they did you could’ve sat there and did time for nothing I’ll because they made a mistake will guess what buddy time to step up don’t let the system for you they’re nothing but a bunch of jokes
If you listened and watch, his lawyer is trying to get it expunged and compensation
He must very adamantly pursue a remedy in order to EXPUNGE his Police records and COURT records. More importantly he must seek to EXPUNGE the Police and arrest records from the Police computer database including NCIC and FBI Database IMMEDIATELY if not sooner.
And his record is going to keep growing, because once you are in "the system" you never escape it's reach. It always get's you again eventually 😢 sorry my dude. You definitely need to sue that officer individually through Civic courts. So he pays for it himself not the citizens and he skates on with nothing
This has nothing to do with arresting the suspect on the scene. It’s about accepting a photo ID on a phone without doing any further investigation especially after Perez denied any involvement. Perhaps compare fingerprints like the gentleman said, instead of keeping him locked up for months.
The cops took the law in their own hands open and shut case just like what Chapelle said. Because he looks black he fits the profile
Sue them
Oh but they can't compare fingerprints because they didn't arrest the guy that night it's called a "hi and bye" when they book and release you without taking you to jail
Fingerprints would have solved the problem real fast
It is terrifying to know the police simply dont care if they have the wrong person or not.
@@ianbattles7290 There are cases where police know full well they're arresting the wrong person but then arrest them anyway, look at all the people who were arrested for supposedly stealing rental cars lol all of those people had a proof on their phones or in writing that that the car wasn't stolen and the cops always take them to jail anyway, they don't even get cited and released when they have proof that the accusation is false... but this guy is out here doing something that can get motherfuckers 40 years and they won't even take him to jail, Instead they do what's called a "hi and bye" which is where they book and release you without taking you to jail which also means that they don't get any fingerprints or DNA samples from you...
Listen pal you can still file a law suit against them and you will be able to buy a new car because you deserve it.
He's too stupid to sue. Talking about his goofy hair. I can't feel sorry for someone this stupid
He needs to sue them tf, he tryin to do something in his life and they just ruined it
When this happened to me the lawyer said to let it go because I would be targeted and they (the police ) would make my life a living hell.
@@mrfish3971
It wouldn't matter the case....if it comes to suing the police, they're gonna make your life a living hell regardless. So go big or go home!
The cops just admitted that drug dealers and drug traffickers "pose no threat to the public".
"Violent" threat to the public.
Thank white people for that. All of a sudden the dope friends shouldn't be jailed
@@kewlztertc5386 "Or otherwise pose a danger to the public or property". They said that, in quotes, then they released felony drug trafficker because he did not meet that standard.
Maybe they are involved
You caught that, too? (She quoted, "individuals who pose a danger to the public or property".)
Jan 6 roiters. 100% innocent until proven guilty and still praised
Innocent man :guilty until proven guilty and never fully recover due to thousands of mistakes and unethical justice system
Jan 6 roiters. 100% innocent until proven guilty and still praised ( organizer of the riot Nancy Pelosi still innocent and NO one is trying to prove that she was guilty, why? everybody fears her )?
@@andrewandretti7379 🤡
Kind of like Kaleif Browder.
@@andrewandretti7379 grow up Andrew...it's not even slightly funny anymore that you lunatics believe any bs you're fed, it's really boring now.
Once again, the Cops screwed up. The young man should sue and agreement that the Arresting officer gets fired.
We Tax payers deserve much better than this.
Not only fired but lose their certification!
The cop isn't the problem it's the whole system. I wanna see every cop in America fired until mistakes like this can't possibly happen.
We've investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.
What a great lawyer! I hope he sees thus ALL the way thru.
Damn, they owe this young man more than can be stated in mere words. His life has been demolished in just minutes. No job, no car, just so sad.
He should be given retribution compensation to his inconvenience and false allegiigation .Hopefully, someone will help you that this process of get justice ⚖
Totally agree 💯 the officers need jailed and stripped of ever being in law enforcement anywhere
Maybe the bartender is involved!!!! If he had to show I'd the bartender had something to do with it! Sue the bar and the bartender!!!!!!
This is how inocent people get in jail
The minimum the cops should have done is to FINGERPRINT the suspect, then they would've had some form of evidence that he was a Liar or involved in Criminal Behavior😒🤔
I'm sorry but even if that were the case, this guy had a vehicle. Why didn't they run the 'plates' and ensure this guy was who was saying he was? They had a right to arrest so why didn't they ask for his Insurance, all in the attempt to ensure they KNEW who this guy was and where they could get a WARRANT for LATER PICK-UP?! They could have 'booked' him and then RELEASED him since it wasn't a 'Violent' crime! That way they would have had his picture and fingerprints for later identification.
You mean like do their actual job? 😎
@@jackstrubbe7608 Simply running this young man's plates could have ELIMINATED him and they wouldn't be getting SUED for 'False Arrest!'
@@Ms.Byrd68 of course. There were so many discrepancies here it's embarrassing to call them law enforcement.
@@jackstrubbe7608 I know, right?! And I'm tired of them UNALIVING my sons, my countrymen and embarrassing our Nation. Nobody wants 'Criminal behavior to flourish'... NOONE! But we want them to stop hurting innocent people by playing 'Judge & Jury' and/or not following their own STANDARDS OF POLICING & PROFESSIONALISM! As 'Taxpayers' we tired of PAYING for INCOMPETENCE and their BIGOTRIES.
If you have qualified immunity, why bother to get it right?
He’s a pushover for not suing the police. Make sure that this doesn’t ever happen to anyone else
Okay I understand what you're saying suing the police to make sure this isn't happening again but unfortunately the police will retaliate against his family more traffic stopped more patrols around their house low key harassment
@@2057ram so you’re saying be scared? Nawww sue they ass!
@@TheNyion912 👍
Your right that he should sue but don't think for a minute the police would learn from it. They never do because it costs them nothing. They view the taxpayers as a bottomless bank account to pay settlements for their lawlessness.
Yall are all missing the bigger picture theres qualified immunity so even if he wanted to he cant go after them legally
And people don't believe me when I say people charged with felonies are some times sent home, but they're steady arresting people for filming in public, "disorderly", j-walking, and so many other petty offenses. Good cops? Where?
Why not ask for a physical copy of the ID?
It's racist to ask for ID, or didn't you know?
@@kingphilwill oh
“Our highly trained and professional officers”. It takes more schooling to be a nail tech.
Truth! In Seattle, cops get 500 hours training to hire, but getting a beauticians license requires 2000 hours.
If you want your life destroyed the government is there to help. Hahaha
Praying his 'record' is expunged. Hope he then sues the cops for all the time and money he has lost and the pain and suffering they caused by showing their lack of knowledge of the laws and their lack of training Good Luck Ramon
Douglas; The record will not be expunged! In our connected society by this time everyone from the TSA to the FBI, CIA, and every insurance company and all employers have his arrest record! Likewise I hope he sues for millions. Eliminate qualified immunity, make the cops either carry insurance, or have the PD pay.
@@randysmith9715 Afraid you are right. Once you are in the 'system' records, an act of God might not get you out.
Wait, why is nobody talking about the elephant in the room? If you are doing a good thing, by not arresting somebody for non-violent offence due to covid, why did you arrest the wrong person for non-violent offence during covid?
How does the police accept a picture on a cell phone, as a valid ID like a driver's license, is beyond me. How stupid is that. Hope he is suing them.
This is so sad. His attorney is absolutely correct in that the young man needs and deserves a total erase of this error.
Can't be done! In our connected society the record will be in more places than you can say places.
@@randysmith9715 so sad
If they only arrested violent offenders at that time, how did Perez-Perez end up in jail?
They took him several days later not that night.
He should have been taken to jail because he produced a photo on his cell phone...if they were not going to take him in that night then they should have gotten his finger prints and mugshots on the scene before releasing him...
Agreed! But that’s only if cops actually do their damn jobs properly. So many dont…
@@generalohu7782 Yep...cops are people, too...some good--some bad...
@@rodmyyk That may be true be we the people hold them to a higher standard for a reason! They are given the power to arrest, to kill etc and if they can’t do their job properly they should be fired and lose their certification.
They need to give this young man millions !!!
You don't get stopped, with multiple drug charges and not get booked. When you get booked they will know your not him...
Id be more curious how the guy got the pic of ID.. was the workers getting pics of those who look similar to their friends to use for fraud
He let his friend take a pic of his ID to get into the bar.
@@jasonsherman5194 are you saying he knew the look a like? Or was associated with him?
@@J1WE yes they were friends. He even gave the police a picture of the real suspect standing next to the car.
@@jasonsherman5194 he says he doesn’t know how the suspect got a picture of his ID on his phone 2:47
@@jasonsherman5194 He said I think I know who y’all looking for & also said don’t know how buddy got his ID
I'm glad the officer admitted his mistake, but this guy should sue the police department for the damage that's been done to his life. If the cops don't even get people's fingerprints or take their mugshots, how are they going to prove that they have the right person when they go to court? That's a big fuck up on their part.
We’re aware that we arrested the wrong person
But he’s a minority so we feel it’s okay
If he's still unemployed he should look at modelling, he's very photogenic.
Wow, what kind of police accept a picture of an ID? This guy now can't join the ARMY probably and serve his country because of all of this. He needs to sue the police and get compensation for everything, get his record cleared and send them back on the Mayflower. That's how I see it.
This is just f uped and it happens all the time.This sweet young man has delt with alot for nothing and it just gets me how the police and the Da's office don't try to do the right thing because of there on stupid ego's and thier power.Bless you all who see's my comment and stay safe. Bless your family young man.
Sue them!
How about their policy on IDing someone? The states spend millions to make DLs hard to counterfeit and this cop screws up a kid's life by accepting a pic and some memorized info. Wonder if he even got an apology.
Yea right in a real world he would have.
So the policy say those that commit a crime that do not pose a danger do not need to go to jail. Wow should it be just fines and or community service. Think of how many people would not be in jail then
How many times is this going to happen before people wake up and realize the system is messed up on purpose!
Use the system. Go change your name legally..change first name. People can help think outside the box. Can a new be given??? I don't know..he needs to make every effort in the next few years ..
That needs to be erased.
That's exactly why the government & the police need to make sure their records & pictures are removed from the main sites & any other sites they see it on . They should annotate what happened explaining that it wasn't him . Someone used his id . And they also should give him copies of it just in case he need to show anyone that he's innocent .
Don’t worry they will find they did nothing wrong and you’re stuck cleaning up the mess
It's all about $ and Over reach of Government
You need to make sure you know know your rights very well and the law find a good lawyer then sue You can win up to $30.000 - $900.000
Absolutely. If only more people studied law.
@@robertblackshear8963 yes indeed bro!!!
I hope you also study that money you win in the lawsuit doesnt come from the Police Dept budget. It comes from the tax payers.
Its called qualified immunity. Which Im sure they are protecting the Officer who didnt arrest the subject that gave a false ID, too...
@@TrueSonofErin i just found out about it that's F××k up mann
@@deonakaogking5952 Yes Sir it is! Catch 22 but, still a necessary evil! They (Law Enforcement) dont seem to learn any other way. It also goes on their record, and a Complaint or Lawsuit will usually start an I.A. investigation. Which you can F.O.I.A. ( freedom of information act) in time for the reults of the investigation. Hope any or all of this helps!
That's why they should do a 'walk thru' arrest. They get arrested, taken to jail, photographed, fingerprinted and then released with a court date to begin the process. Then, upon arresting the wrong man, he would be fingerprinted and the prints won't match. Then they would know for sure that it's 2 different people.
Because that makes to much sense and they do have it
I JUST GLAD THE COP SPARRED HIS LIFE, ANOTHER MOTHER WOULD BE GRIEVING. USA STYLE.
He's Black, so they didn't care. If the cops even said he wasn't the one, why the arrest. This whole situation is bull. Since when can anyone show a picture on a phone as valid ID to a cop.
It's a screw up not a kkk rally.Gtf out with your race victim bs.
Even if they're releasing criminals because of pandemic, non-violent offenders should always be arrested and booked. They can release them after booking.
They don’t even look a like
Why did the guy have a picture of his ID though?🤔
I 100% believe this happens a lot. I had similar happen twice. First time a cop stopped me believing I was a friend of mine. Melissa Horton. I even point out to him that I don’t have her tattoos or blue eyes that u have the wrong girl the cop got another cop who knew both of us (it was small town everyone knows everyone) and he vouched form me this was when I was 16. Then same girl use my id we looked kinda similar. Before covid in like 2000 got a hold of id and she gave it as her own to police for possession charges. She was tied to clear it up but they didn’t believe her so months later in the mail I get a warrant I walk to police station in Lompoc thinking I am gonna have to spend night in jail to see judge in the morning. I explain to officers what had happened. Who they were looking for and they pull up her rap sheet see that we do look simular he was gonna still book me in cuz he wasn’t 100% convinced. Luckily a sheriff that knew me my mom and the girl who committed the crime came out and asked what’s going on. I told him he said I know both these girls and I know that charge is not hers they let me go.
And, you were STILL hanging with her? 😎
They won't do anything for him. They don't really care about the damage they do. He'll have to sue them, and the clowns will claim qualified immunity.
Soooo let me see...they falsely arrest an innocent man and almost ruin his life but whenever they find the REAL criminal they decide to drop all the charges??? What about the identity thieft? I swear you can't make this 💩 up!!!
here is the issue not adressed. Most Arrests STAY on your record. Regardless of your actual GUILT, meaning you are wrongfully arresed for Drugs, and now FOR LIFE you are barred from certain jobs.
IT can be argued that if a person KNOWS that THEY are Innocent, regarleess of warrants or what the police thinks, these people should be immune to arrest and charges if they defend themselves acrding to the law, aka self defense, against this life changing and life detririorating event, even if that is flat out killing the cops
wasn't the process putting ink on fingertips and saving the prints on a peace of paper created over a hundred years ago? that's a pretty easy backup in this case! I've got a few minor convictions from my brother using my name and police taking his info at face value during the early 90s. And It's kinda hard to fight a case when your thrown in jail unexpectently, but can't prove you were literally in another country at the time, because your passport is downstairs in the property room, and you can't get it until release, which entails pleading guilty in the 1st place to get out of jail! And if you can't afford an expensive lawyer, and know about the justice system well enough to know that public defenders work fpr/with the prosecutpr, so will do nothing but plea bargain! (I didn't have any close people outside to help at the time, being single and a loner, and was not gonna trouble mom!). Luckily, this never affected me too much, besides trying to apply for housing, loans, and my reputation a little bit. But it still drives me crazy, because even knowing what I do now, I'd still have to do the same thing over!!! And I was a middle class, catholic, college educated, mostly white kid with a clean record and I had zero chance!!!. Any young kid of color caught in the system is screwed, no matter how obviously innocent!!!!!
I see how this will affect his life. I hope he sue them. I was in the back seat of a car that got pulled over. I was the first one asked for id. When I said "I'm in the back and you ask me first?" So they got everyone and said my id was fake. Because my name was not me. That happened in 98. Policing needs to change.
What consequences did this lazy/negligent cop face for causing an innocent citizen to lose their job, vehicle, and freedom???
Be careful giving your friend's your information at least he did tell the police who the guy was who used his ID And I know he regrets letting him have the information
justice does NOT exist in the USA... glad to live in Europe
The real Perez, Perez is also a Black male in this country who is from a Spanish speaking country ( Hispanic) a census term.
There are too many people that look alike. They could have printed the criminal on the side of the road. Geez.
Drug trafficking doesn't constitute a danger to the public.
No excuse for what the police did they need to compensate Ramon for his losses.
How they destroy this kid life for being inept and lazy.
The cop was okay with a picture of an ID? Are you serious?
This young man will have this on his record for life.
He can get it expunged and he still should sue
@@GrandMasterLynx A friend's nephew was arrested, charged etc and spent the weekend in jail. He was innocent. If the police had checked they would have known this young man was at work. It was a summer job taking care of grade school children. They had just returned from a school trip while the crime happened. Well this young man has graduated from high school and university. Guess what when a background check is done on him 10 years later this arrest still comes up. The police record is expunged it but other computer databases have not.
@@monarnyc that sucks didn’t know that
@@GrandMasterLynx Something needs to be done so all databases are notified about the person being innocent but have no idea how this could be done. I feel bad for him that he is still going through this. But if the police had done their due diligence this kid would not have been arrested. He left work, went and purchased 2 movie tickets for his girlfriend and himself since she got off work later than he did. He showed the police his job id, his paycheck stub he had just cashed his check (they emptied his pockets) and they didn't find $$ much more over his paycheck in his wallet. And he told them he took the little ones to X place. I used to work for a PD and saw so much I was forced for my own health to leave. Why ruin a person's life when it would only take a few minutes of phone calls. And now in these times much better technology. Thanks so much for understanding.
@@monarnyc Yea I thought once it was expunged it would remove everything and yes things do need to change but sadly I don’t think I would see that change in my lifetime I pray that I’m wrong about that
Shouldn't this state lose it's drug war funding for violating federal law? Trafficking felony for under 28 grams? That is not federally permissible and therefore they are not entitled to the drug war funding for violating the agreed upon ( by every single state ) rightful amounts and convictions laws set forth in U.S.C. title law.
In life terrible things happened to good people,and once it's found out that a mistake has happened ,in good faith they should right the wrong. The cop messed up and now they should be able to go to the man's job and the car dealership and give him back what was taken, but I know that they don't care.
Correct
It's the same thing thing here in Baltimore MD, actually on top of that the police here has a list of crimes that they will not arrest someone for or even prosecute , one of them is Assaults, the police has to see the crime happen or if it happens to someone who is important. The person who is assaulted has to file with the courts and the courts decides if they are going to prosecute it and in most cases they will not. It just happened to my sister, these changes are not due to covid either, its because of those screaming to defund the police and police discrimination
So nice they named him twice 😂😂😂
He needs to sue the police, this is disgusting...
Sue them for wrongful arrest.
This is why you never ID to cops.
Very suspicious...there needs to be an internal investigation...he should be compensated for this aggregous mishandling...occurs he was framed...
The cop body cam or car cam footage should clear this up.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THE SUSPICIOUS ACT..... YOU AS A NEWS COMPANY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING THAT 1ST...
So where is the body cams?¹
Lesson to be learned, Dont let your friend use your ID to get into the bar.
@jason sherman: lesson which should be learned.
Don't assume facts not in evidence.
You don't know how he got that picture and the guy in the story also said he had no idea how he got the picture.
I have seen too many Videos against Lee County cops to believe that proper defunding is needed, and a complete firing and re-build of a proper and legal police force is required.
Once this clears up, I would like to see that restaurant owner face a lawsuit over providing the true suspect with this guy's information, or allowing access to that information.
Praying with a mother’s heart for our Lord to have the truth shine & this young man gets cleared to be able go forward in his life & also for his beloved family peace & strength to all. 🙏✝️♥️👼
Needs to sue
Cops is not allowed make a mistakes,no one mistake! Any mistake need to be punished whit prison!
Police Officers have qualified immunity. They wont be found at fault at all. The tax payers will have to foot the Bill for the Polices actions. A no win situation for everyone!
So sad to hear this !
Wow. This is deep. Wondering how many other lives have been upended during covid? Nuts.
This is what gets me, Brain Laundries wondered around for days, suspected for killing and this person can’t even say he is not the person they are looking for and they put things in motion that caused him to loose his car and job..,and dignity. This is the where the system is biased
Biased is too soft a word. Try overtly corrupt.
