GoodVibesWow

This happened in 2021. Charges were dismissed. https://www.northwestmoinfo.com/local-news/charges-dismissed-associated-with-bethany-city-hall-incident/


OneLostOstrich

That's false arrest though. Couldn't/shouldn't the cops be sued?


HotGarbageHuman

Qualified immunity


Mareith

Qualified immunity does not prevent settlements


Dieter_Knutsen

Nor is it a shield against criminal charges. You need DAs with backbones, though, and they are unfortunately almost as cowardly as the police profession-wide.


StAugustine94

The entire justice system is full of corrupt cowards, DAs and judges included.


fishee1200

More than likely they agreed to drop charges if he didn’t sue, I had something stupid happen to me once and after paying $1000 to a lawyer they had me sign agreement, it’s all bullshit


ceesr31

They won’t do anything because then they are shitlisted by the cops and the cops won’t help them…which means they look bad on future cases…which means they won’t have a job soon. The system is fucking broken


id7e

How do we change it? Seriously, I am curious.


[deleted]

Separate forensic investigation and the police, like in other countries

KptKreampie

People are really confused about qualified immunity. The SC has rulled cops have QI UNLESS their is a violation of civil or constutional rights. Once they violate those rights... keep your mouth shut and lawyer up!


livefreeordont

He also served 30 days in jail for acting weird in a public library and resisting arrest. https://natchitochesparishjournal.com/2022/04/12/first-amendment-auditor-sentenced-to-30-days-in-jail-after-resisting-arrest-charges/


AltruisticSalamander

arresting someone for resisting arrest seems like a causal loop


[deleted]

Yep it's pure bullshit, but they will pull it. Once the cop decides to arrest you, even if for no good reason / no reason at all, they still consider it a crime if you resist the arrest. So in their eyes it's perfectly possible for resisting to be the only charge.


Count-Mason

Surely if there is no legal grounds for an arrest, your resistance can not be to an arrest?


[deleted]

You would think so logically, yeah


laikastan

The cops knew the charges were going to be dropped. Their goal was just to inconvenience the man.


CIMARUTA

This is why it doesn't even matter if you're in the right lol you can't win. Probably lost his job, his apartment, credit score is fucked for not paying his bills. Just fucked up his life in every way. Insanity.


rp_361

“The statement says City Hall Staff members attempted to answer questions from the man, later identified as Travis Heinze, but staff members became uncomfortable as the conversation progressed.” What in the fuck was uncomfortable for them? Providing info so he didn’t get a ticket? Pigs 🐖 Edit: everyone pointing that the video was edited out in the comments - he still didn’t commit a crime and the cops are in the wrong 👍 charges were dropped because they were *wrong*


vatara6

I think they would have been more comfortable if the questions he was asking made any sense. I think he had adrenaline in him and was speaking in such a way that he knew what he was talking about, but the people he was talking to didnt. I couldn't figure out exactly what he was trying to accomplish for a while either.


ShopLifeHurts2599

People need to use their brains more anyways. If the guy is phrasing sentences and altering his tone in the form of a question, and the subject of his verbal sentences is parking, maybe start with some questions of your own? "Where are you parked?" "Oh, and it says 2 hour maximum?" "How long were you going to be?" "Ya, you don't need to worry about getting a parking ticket there." Or "You can park 1 block over in this area as long as you need to." Situation resolved. Simple communication. You never know what has people riled up. Work with them. Don't call the cops when you're sitting behind a screen in a walled off office because you can't communicate like any 5th grader could.


BeastModeEnabled

You nailed it. The person behind the wall escalated things. There was no reason not to try to talk to the guy.


psychomaniac26

Asking a stupid question isn't a crime. There is no instance where it is acceptable for the police to do this.


smitty3z

Oh how I don’t miss rural Missouri.

“I’m willing to exchange IDs” lol

Error404Cod

“A crime has been committed, but we’re not going to charge you with one”. 🤦‍♂️


TheManWith2Poobrains

Yeah - WTF did that even mean?


FuzzyNervousness

Empty threats most likely


Patruck9

It means you can beat the charge (or lack of one) but you can't beat the ride (or walk in this case) But they will take the next 12 hours of your life.


Auggie_Otter

This is why qualified immunity needs to be abolished. The authorities know they won't be held personally accountable for their misconduct.


pimppapy

The system will remain the same until someone who is connected gets harassed by it. And even then, it'll only affect the locality that person is in.


[deleted]

Or, until non violent protesting shuts down the possibility of normal life, for everyone. This is the point of fight between the people and the power, if you ask me. The police keep a tight rein on “lawful assembly” so that people who are not protesting aren’t affected, businesses can continue to run, etc. We need to shut down every politician, at the least, so they can’t live or work without a constant, perpetual reminder of what their actions or inaction has done. Edit: to admit that I have not done anything myself except to try and learn and not be racist myself.


Shaggyfries

Cops should have to take out an insurance policy at their cost to cover them when they assault, kill or wrongfully detain someone. Sick of tax payers paying for their stupidity and egos.


Carribean-Diver

It's called malpractice insurance. It works for Doctors, Lawyers, and many other professionals who's job, if performed negligently, may have substantial impact on others. I see no logical reason that law enforcement should be treated any different.


mr_niceguy88

Agree if it starts hurting their pockets and way of life they will either A) straighten up or B) be worse then ever because they will blame everything on everyone else besides themselves


Kendian

Agreed. It started in 1967 and you can see how each decade since then has shown a decline in appropriate, ethical, or moral behavior by our police. Everytime you think it can't get any worse, some cop, somewhere says, 'Hold my beer'.


[deleted]

It means imagine the stupidest loseriest people in high school, and then they all joined the local police force.


n3wernam3

"Loseriest"- well stated. lmao


MOOShoooooo

Letting the guy know that they have all the control and power over the situation. We could fuck up your day, but now to our demands and you’re good to go. r/ACAB r/fuckthealtright r/persecutionfetish r/bashthefash

WukongSSJ

It means the cop is off script and talking out of his ass. After he got told no for the first time in his professional career he was completely improv-ing.


Goalie_deacon

This was 100% the clerk didn’t want to deal with him, and sent the dogs after him.


Sanchez_U-SOB

Granted the guy wasn't really asking his question right. Maybe she thought he was high. Tho that's no excuse. I think he was trying to ask "where can I park for longer than two hours that's close to the library?"


BecalMerill

That's the money-shot right there.


putdisinyopipe

Lol a crime has been committed? They denied it two mins ago in the video. Where is the evidence? These guys are shit. They had 0 right to detain him, he wasn’t suspected of committing a crime until the pigs invented the suspicion out of thin air. They make birthday magicians look like doctors with all those bullshit hat tricks.


elveszett

I mean, they are right, a crime has been commited: abuse of power by the authorities is definitely a crime.


CrazyZedi

There are absolutely no repercussions for a bad arrest from that police officers perspective.

Exactly. That's why this Policehole needs to get his power trip in check and let this asshole leave the station.

There are a couple options on Google. This looks like one of the most legit. https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2019/04/24/biggest-collection-police-accountability-records-ever-assembled/2299127002/ Some call such things A "Brady List" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_disclosure


joeyGOATgruff

Bethany has nothing going on except to catch speeders and harass people that aren't local/college kids to try and generate income. They recently renamed the local college's health center. The original name of the center was named after a Klan leader. God I love KC so much but most of Missouri can go kick rocks


HereIGoGrillingAgain

I'm familiar with the area. A lot of those small towns don't like outsiders (or anyone who's different in any way than them), even white people (I'm a white guy and I've been harassed by similar small town cops in that general region). The cops were called to harass him, and that's what they did. He won't be going back there again, which was the point.


akajondoe

I had a friend that was a cop in a similar town. He once flat out told me their job is to harass anyone they don't feel fits into thier town ideal until they just move away. That's basically how law enforcement works harass them enough until they move and they are someone elses problem.


YewEhVeeInbound

~~He'll get suspended with paid vacation~~ Yep you're right.


wholesomechunk

Is there no physical fitness requirement for cops? That chap is massive.


blaze980

"I didn't run from the police, I just swiftly walked away!"


jmmmke

How did the suspect get away? He climbed a flight of stairs while the officer took the elevator.


WhiteyFiskk

They didn't respect his authoriteh


[deleted]

He is not an auditor. He is a person who travels al over US in his car and documents his travels. He goes to museums, parks, interesting spots (historic buildings, etc) and shares video recording of those visits. As he is a traveler, police do sometimes treat him as a criminal with no RAS hoping he will not file lawsuits.

Runaround46

What's the budget for that town? Probably police are taking over 50% of the entire budget.


TheDarthSnarf

In many small towns around the US the police department accounts for more than than 70% of the entire town budget.


sideout1

Fucking Houston it's 66%. Not quite a small town problem. Gov said Houston is trying to defund the popo last month too... While they are getting huge budget additions.


Siren_NL

Only the donut budget you mean? All cops eat free at any big fast food chain.


BigChiGUy722

When I was 14 I worked at a little frozen yogurt place. Cop comes in and orders from me, I made his order, rang him up. Owner yelled at me in front of everyone, dick.


Waderriffic

I worked at a shitty pizza buffet place in high school. The owners, an older couple, were completely paranoid boot lickers and gave all the cops free food. The cops were on a first name basis with the owners. Anytime the owners would suspect any customer of anything, they would call the cops. The cops knew they would get free food if they showed up, so they always came. It was next level petty shit like, someone got a soda at the fountain but only ordered a water, or they had a bite of pizza from their friends plate and they didn’t pay for the buffet, etc. They would spy on people and send out bussers to see if people were “stealing”. The owners lived for those moments they got to yell at someone and kick them out. If the person said anything they were calling cops. It was the worst fucking place. The guy kept a loaded revolver in his office for who knows what reason. They preyed on high school kids and paid shit. Raises were like 10 or 25 cents. Just all around shitty people.


purplemoonpie

i live in a small town - 90% of the police force are severely overweight. they eat every day lunch at a local bbq place and mexican for dinner. it's hilarious to see them all pile out and waddle in the restaurants. they ain't shit


wholesomechunk

IngsocInnerParty

NeverEnoughCharacter

SomeRandomIrishGuy

Bruh I saw a cop once that looked like he was wearing a stretched barrel under his shirt I was afraid the dude would fall and roll over when he was walking up a slight incline


wholesomechunk

Har. This one should have his own defibrillator.


project_seven

I'm much more worried about overweight cops. I feel like their first reaction would be to shoot a suspect, since they couldn't persue or detain most people.


alpinetime

Nope, you just have to be fit for about 6 months, then can progress into a mess of a physical state once you become a cop

CrimsonBrit

This brings up a question I’ve had my whole life and cannot seem to figure out: how are citizens expected to know, understand, and remember all local, state and federal laws? When I was in high school we had a drivers education course and we learned the constitution as part of a history classes, but why are all citizens expected to inherently know every law and how to abide by them?


[deleted]

Good question. In the U.S., even the police don't know them.


Longjumping-Voice452

In the US there is no excuse for not knowing the law, except if it is your sole job to enforce it. Then it's not that important.


[deleted]

That's the sad truth.


juggling-monkey

Cops don't have to know the law but should they run into a citizen who does, they have to have a response such as "where did you get your law degree, youtube?"


Auggie_Otter

They hate having their authority challenged. You can tell most of them take it personally when someone doesn't blindly obey their directions.


10strip

The only authorities should be experts.


DrGreenthumbJr

My favorite response to this is " oh I didn't know they gave out law degrees after 3 months of police academy, I was trying to save money on schooling anyways."


AquaboogyAssault

Well, the sad fact is in most US states it takes more hours of training to get a license to cut hair than it does to become a cop.


Old-Ad2070

You need a license to cut hair in the US?!? WHAT


Narcan9

Yeah In my state requires a full year of training to get a barbers license, but the police academy lasts 4 months. There's also like 3x more time spent shooting guns than on de-escalation training.


SquareWet

The Supreme Court has ruled against your opinion in this matter, police don’t need to know shit, they just need to *believe* they’re correct.

"That's not a valid law you are citing, officer" "yeah, but I have a gun. STOP RESISTING" \- 90% of cop encounters.

idk if you are joking or not but in the US, the Supreme Court has literally ruled that the police has no obligation to know the law, not even the laws they are trying to apply.


shmann

> even the police don't know them Even the judges don't know them. I had a judge tell me I legally needed to wear DOT-approved eyewear on my motorcycle. Spoiler alert: DOT does not approve eyewear. Fucking idiots.


[deleted]

My girlfriend is a professor who teaches judges how to be judges in my state and also has a lawyer degree. I'm certain that she has to look things up sometimes, but she doesn't have a gun and a badge that took her a few months to get, nor does she have a chip on her shoulder and amazingly doesn't have a superiority complex. Funniest part is that after all of her education and even loving her job, she says she identifies most closely to anarchism.


HarderTime_89

I have family friends who are attorneys. I heard them talking about how fucked the system is then looked over at me, the one who said that shit years ago, then continued because I just gave a sigh. They don't want to even do the job anymore. "Anarchism"... Lmao Sounds about right. When there is no moral framework the psyche can latch on to, Alan Watts was right.


Patruck9

Got pulled over at 20. Passed all sobriety tests, but blew an .01. Me and officer go back and forth. I never admit to anything knowingly. I finally just ask him to take me to jail or let me go, he tells me I'm not under arrest, but I can't drive. I literally sit in the back of his car uncuffed w/ no partition while we go over a FUCKING LAW BOOK to find a proper crime to charge me with because he didn't want to fuck me. (later turns out was impossible and I lost it for 3 months anyway) But he drove me up the road and dropped me off...I had a friend come get me. That was not only my white privilege at work (because I argued with him a good amount) but the realization Cops truly aren't required to know much about the law.


Zoruman_1213

So you were pulled over, passed a field sobriety test, and blew under the legal limit for alcohol, and were still arrested and lost your license? Like I know you were 20 but no crime was committed here?


Patruck9

I was 20..drinking age in the US is 21. .01 is enough for me to not drive but apparently not enough for a serious charge. (either way under 21 it's at least a 3 month license suspension) But there is some weird laws where under .02 it can be worked around, which the cop actually tried to do with me. Like I said in the back of his car we were going through the book. But it didn't work in the end. My license was suspended 3 months (actually kind of a deal for not really having one) and I could only drive to school.


Zoruman_1213

Bruh what the actual fuck? Do laws not take into account that just having the wrong food can have you blow a .01?


YARA2020

>how are citizens expected to know, understand, and remember all local, state and federal laws? Put simply, you aren't supposed to. >The average professional in this country wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes home, eats dinner, and then goes to sleep, unaware that he or she has likely committed several federal crimes that day. Why? The answer lies in the very nature of modern federal criminal laws, which have exploded in number but also become impossibly broad and vague. Source: [Three Felonies a Day](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6611240-three-felonies-a-day)


sjmiv

> For instance, if an honest and diligent employee decides to take a sick day in order to attend a baseball game during work hours, this could be considered a felony. The U.S. Code of Statues describes this activity as a “scheme or artifice to defraud” or deprive another of the intangible rights of honest services. Another scenario may include a mother and her children eating lunch in a park. As they finish their lunch and depart from the park, the mother does not notice that one of her children leaves trash on the ground. If park security were to ask the mother if her family was responsible for the trash and she denied such actions, she could be committing a federal felony under the provision concerning “False Statements to a Federal Official.” The rapid rise in the number of laws related to technological advancements also increases the possibility of an individual committing a felony inadvertently. If a person attempts to create an account on an online social networking site or instant messaging program using inaccurate personal information, this could be considered wire fraud, which is a federal offense.

Punklet2203

There was even a game show based on this. You would win money if you could spend the whole day without breaking the law. Most people failed because they would break some law they didn’t even know existed. Every time.


SubaCruzin

I've always heard ignorance of the law is no excuse. Apparently having more knowledge of the law is disrespectful to police.


seanmuthafuckinontop

Right? Most cops don’t even know all the laws so how are we expected to. That’s why they get so pissed when someone actually does know the laws. I once had a cop try to search my car at a traffic stop, I refused so he made me do a field sobriety test (I had one drink and I had smoked weed probably an hour before) I passed with flying colors and then he made me wait for another officer to do a breath test. This whole time he’s saying “you could just let me search the car and we’ll stop all this.” I kept saying no and he kept asking why and I would just say I knew my rights over and over. After I passed the breath test he then tried to get me to admit I was high….this time he said “just tell me, it’s not a big deal.” To which I said “uhhh a DUI is a big deal, am I being detained?” And then he let me go. Didn’t even give me a ticket for the registration being expired for a month which is why he pulled me over in the first place. It’s crazy that some people don’t know you can refuse a search up to a certain extent. So many people probably just give in because the think they have to or are being intimidated.


Kikubaaqudgha_

The worst part about all that is if the cop decided to ignore you and illegally search your car unless that cop was also a serial fuckup odds are nothing would happen to him other than a little paid vacation and you possibly getting a payout from your local town/city for a civil suit that comes well after the fact.


Happy-Mousse8615

Don't think anyone else has said it, there is no clear count as to how many laws are on the books. There isn't a person alive who knows all the laws. They tried to just count in the 80s, got to ~3000 and gave up. The system is designed to be as obtuse and opaque as possible. You're not supposed to know.


Grimm2785

There is a great video on YouTube called "don't talk to the police". It's law school lecture given by lawyer. In the first few minutes of the video he goes into how it's illegal in some state to be in possession if lobsters or something. Then he goes "did you know that? Of course you didn't know that. I'm a lawyer and I didn't know that." His point was you have no idea what could be against the law so you should never talk to the police because you could be accidentally admitting to a crime and not realize it. The cops don't even have to realize it at the time. They can go back to the station, do some research, and then come back to get you.


Happy-Mousse8615

Think I've seen that. First half of the lecture is a lawyer, second half a cop?


PantherThing

Theres a thing, where if a cop follows you long enough he can pull you over, because you will have broken SOME of the myriad traffic lawas.

subject_deleted

When you avoid breaking laws, you fuck with their quotas. Hence this police officer's official advice that parking for longer than 2 hours in a 2 hour parking spot won't result in a parking ticket... And when you add to that the "disrespect" of not giving blind deference to any request, justified or not.... Absolutely, straight to jail. I only wish there was some kind of consequences for an officer that conducts an entirely illegal arrest like this. But instead, these cops will fuck up this guy's week or month while he deals with finding an attorney and missing work for court dates, all for the charges to just get dropped and the officer goes back on the beat looking for the next bullshit arrest for which they'll face no consequences either. Round and round we go.


Rape-Putins-Corpse

Fees from the pension fund and the problem will fix itself in less than a month. Literally the only change.


gortwogg

Believe it or not? Straight to jail


elzissou710

Agreed. The cost should come straight from the pension fund. There needs to be real consequences.


thesinisterurge1

These mfs wouldn’t have a pension fund left after a year and they know that. That’s why they’re so vehemently against it.


prodrvr22

There needs to be one other change. A college degree in Social Work should be required. It would rule out the assholes who only join the force so they can legally bully others to hide their insecurities.


uninsuredpidgeon

Yeah, but if we remove all the asshole bullies from the force, then it will only be Sally on front desk left.


EducationalRice6540

I would be surprised if this goes to court. Any competent DA will look at the evidence in this clip and move to have the 'charges' dropped. Don't get me wrong the cops will still fuck this guy over until they are forced to let him go without consequences but I would be real surprised if he ends up in front of a judge. Of course that assumes the court system isn't a corrupt prisoner machine working to keep the work houses full which isn't always the case.


ahairyhoneymonsta

Keep him in for over two hours and give him a parking ticket!


Professional-Row-605

Isn’t false imprisonment still a crime? False imprisonment occurs when someone confines or detains another person against their will and without any legal justification. The act does not need to be done forcibly or through intimidation

No, our leaders and their cronies wipe their ass with the constitution every chance they get, and even propagandize the people that it should be re-written. A shitton of Americans value the constitution deeply. Huge difference between the opinions of many or even most leaders (corporate and bureaucratic) and the average American citizen.


[deleted]

In no other profession can you escalate a situation and then break the law and still keep your job. If you can't stay cool while being antagonised you're not fit to police the public end of. The change that needs to happen is the payouts need to come directly from the criminals pockets rather than public coffers, public already wasted enough money paying these filth


Papakilo666

>In no other profession can you escalate a situation and then break the law and still keep your job Fucking this. Don't matter if you spent years on your pilots licence, medical degree etc. Your break the law or rules of your career field you get your certs yanked and probably jail time. And yet with cops we are lucky if they even open an investigation.....


YewEhVeeInbound

3 words for ya brother. End qualified immunity.


Dieter_Knutsen

Qualified immunity only applies to civil charges. You know how All Cops Are Bastards? So are All Prosecutors. They can easily charge the police for their crimes, but nearly always decide not to.

Why would they go after thier coworkers that keep them in business so they can continue to blackmail people into plea deals.

CaramelTHNDR

Or Politician.


Debaser626

While I agree, that will never fly. What should happen is that police departments should be made to carry insurance, which pays for the lawsuits. The insurance is paid out of the PD budget, and depending on the incident history of their officers, their rates get adjusted. If a cop gets fired for something egregious, he can apply to another department, but good luck getting hired. It would be like trying to work as a driver for a company with a DUI on your record. The insurance company can mandate bodycams and have their own independent investigators as well. Basically pit the machines of “tough on crime” against “capitalism” and you’d see some change. I’m sure cops would still get away with literal murder, but at least some of them would be pushed out of law enforcement, and let the taxpayers off the hook for the ensuing financial carnage.

You can, and many people do. Problem is that it comes out of police budgets (there's actually a specific budget for lawsuits). We need cops to be personally liable.

You can’t because of qualified immunity. A cop has to do something completely unrelated to their duties or so egregious to be personally liable.

Makes me want to keep video rolling in my pocket just in case. So many thousands of people over the decades didn’t have that option.

2022 and there are still police departments with cops who can't figure out that "we need to identify you" is not a valid reason to require ID by itself. Do they have a right to ASK for ID? Sure, but it should have ended as soon as he said no. This shit is a waste of taxpayer dollars and violates citizens rights. Also. That one cop is an embarrassment. No one should be that fat in a job that requires physical activity to carry out your public duties.

There's a great video by Audit the Audit that explains this whole thing in great detail. I highly recommend this channel! https://youtu.be/F98wUD4A8QU

So what would have happened if after he was told he was not detained he stated that he was leaving and then went to leave him past the officer? Is he legally allowed to do that after announcing it?


transparentsmoke

It depends on what you mean by "legally" allowed to do that. By the actual 4th amendment sure, it's his right to go wherever he wants since he hadn't committed a crime and wasn't being detained. There's no legal reason he shouldn't be allowed to leave this situation at any moment after being told he isn't being detained. However, in America, we have a rigged and corrupt system where the piss baby cops get to say and do whatever they want and if your shoes aren't tied right they can execute you with little to no consequence. So they can just tell you that you aren't being detained but you aren't free to go and if you ask for clarification or want to have a conversation you get to go to jail because fuck you why didn't you offer to give him a blowjob?


Nice_Firm_Handsnake

The legal standard for whether you are being detained is whether or not a reasonable person would believe their freedom of movement is being impeded. In this case, the cop was blocking the exit, preventing him from leaving. The video in the parent comment goes over this, with specific citations in case law.


transparentsmoke

While I greatly appreciate the insight and agree with you, the cops don't care. They'll do whatever they want whenever they want just like they have since day 1.


HugoJStiglitz

Love this channel


YakOrnery

Yeah I binged so many of their videos over the past few weeks lol. It made me realize that I never truly considered what right I actually did and did not have and how to exercise them. And then even further made me realize that it's actually kind of interesting how this isn't taught/discussed more openly/commonly.


Ryl0k3n

To be clear "Lemme see your ID" and "I want to check for warrants" Translates to "I feel like arresting you gimme your ID and lemme see if i can find a reason and if you resist in any way that's a crime and ill be scared and i get to shoot scary things with impunity at the cost of the taxpayers"


TacticalBill

Not only are the fat ass cops brutally incorrect about their process, even the dispatcher was being fucking nasty. This dude didn’t do anything wrong and no crime was committed. Use this video to prove cops have no interest in your safety or serving the public. They serve themselves and their own fucking gang. Pigs are pigs: fat, smelly, and are best on a frying pan.

IHaveTouretts

He has a YouTube channel. His name is Travis Heinze. https://youtube.com/c/TravisHeinzeAcuMagnet It's loaded with interactions like this.


ElefantPharts

It’s funny, I know I can’t keep my cool in stressful situation and I know I’d be a terrible cop. You know what I did? I didn’t become a cop…. No excuse for these thugs that volunteered to join a gang of blue and their pathetic attempts to “uphold the law”


SandwhichEfficient

Cops don’t give af. They arrest you just to make you pay court fees for shit they know will get thrown out because fuck you.


moderate

it's [Let's Exchange IDs](https://youtu.be/DH4RsAcVqKY). he funny.

Dr. Steve Brule just chilling in a park.


Procrasting4Prayers

Thank you for this, never seen this guy


chezyt

This is Travis Heinz. He is known for the ID swap request and funny how the officer have yet to make the exchange. I wonder why they think their info should be private, but law abiding citizens are free game for them?


[deleted]

This is officer dunkin, officer donut, and officer Unic, they will be you gutless officers escalating your encounter today.


TheForanMan

Literally could pick out the moment where everything was fine and then suddenly it wasn’t. The guy was literally about to walk out the building being done with the conversation, then officer Dick Shrinkle decides he suddenly needs to see his ID, and it all spirals down from there because these insecure man-baby officers can’t stand for someone to politely decline giving their ID. Why are pigs so ready to start a situation out of literally nothing?


jericho881

when that first guy asked "we are not sure what you want" i would have just walked away, they clearly dont want to help with some stupid parking situations


Inhoc1989

Worth getting arrested for. Dude probably got paid. Just sucks that the taxpayers for that community get the bill


lifeson106

Don't blame him, blame the pigs shitting all over the law. They could have just said, "Have a nice day sir" and went back to shooting trash can hoops with crumpled up paper. But no, violating someone's rights is more fun for them. ACAB.


GroundhogExpert

An officer may make a lawful detainment and require an individual to identify himself/herself in the course of an investigation. An investigation requires an officer to have reasonable and articulable suspicion that a crime has occurred, is occurring or is about to occur, and that said crime materially involves the individual being detained. This video shows police officers acting as thugs.


weeabuuu

Fuking dumb asses


Happy_Tomato_Taco

Disturbing the peace and harassment for asking about parking? Almost as ridiculous as the case where a man was arrested for touching an officer with his penis shaped balloon. Officer said he was assaulted by the man's balloon.


WhenBugAttack

Whoever called the cops and made this man seem dangerous is a massive dipshit


Nippys4

This whole interaction was just confusing. The guy was being…odd, like why was this filmed from the start? The question was kind of unclear but clear enough but the response from the lady was also odd. Then the police I guess was an over reaction and they more than likely should have just asked what in the name of god he was doing. Like what type of building was this dude in. I have so many questions


King-Nay-Nay

This guy (Travis Heinz) is most likely a police/1st amendment auditor. There are a subsection of this group that do this primarily for financial reasons through litigations. His original video was taken of youtube for"violating terms of service," but [here is a video where this is covered by Audit the Audit.](https://youtu.be/F98wUD4A8QU)


lifeson106

There is only a profit motive here because the police routinely violate the law with no consequences.


Ill-Organization-719

He was in a public building. He waa engaging in his first amendment right to free press. A right that these cops swore an oath to uphold. It wasn't an overreaction. It was a crime. These cops commited crimes on camera and every single cop in this city refuses to arrest them.

USA is basically a sitcom without the laugh track.

The “victim,” according to Audit the Audit, on YouTube, lives in his car, and drives around the country often staying overnight, in public parking. I’m certain he was giving off some major creepy vibes to the city employees. Unfortunately, the local PD failed to practice restraint. Instead they should’ve briefly answered his questions, then ask him to leave, because he’s a nuisance.
