#827 - Cops Behaving Badly
Episode Transcript
What if he points a gun at me and says he's got a gun, he's got a gun, and then starts firing and then goes, oh, it was a phone.
It's terrifying.
So what do you have to say for yourself?
Speaker 2Is it true you can get a dui on a bicycle.
Speaker 3Yes, I've done it.
I'm not.
Speaker 1I've literally folded laundry in a BMW trunk.
Speaker 2You're also not a sane person.
You're a comedian.
Speaker 1This is true.
I don't agree with any of this.
You're good.
We're doing it.
We're doing a podcasting.
We have former la PD officer Daniel Dalleon in studio.
Thanks for coming, man, Thank you for having me.
I appreciate you.
This is gonna be a fun one because we're gonna be responding and reacting to some cops I think behaving badly in my opinion.
So we'll see how much you're willing to justify this nonsense that they do it.
And then one of my favorite comics, Jeremiah Watkins, Hello, how are you dude?
You're great, man.
I mean, we we've almost done things a few times together, and there's always been a scheduling, snack scheduling errors, either we plan a show when something happens or yeah, or you're too big and important to come on my show that.
Speaker 2I'm live hearing in the flash, Baby, I'm here.
Speaker 1You are man Here Comedy special Daddy Fantastic on YouTube.
And then you have a stand up on the spot that you're doing.
Tell us about that.
I want people to know about that before we get out.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 2So we just celebrated this month fifteen years of me doing the show around Los Angeles, and comedians go up with no prepared material, ask the audience for suggestions that yelsa fout and he has a great stand up on the spot based off of those audience suggestions.
Speaker 1So that's great.
Speaker 2It's the ultimate thrill ride of a comedy show.
You never know how good or bad it's going to be, but it's always very good because it's very impressive to see comics tackle topics in real time and make it funny in real time.
Speaker 1It's it's fun that the audience knows that that's what the deal is.
Speaker 2Yeah, they're in on it.
Speaker 1Yeah they're on it.
Speaker 2They're they're supportive, Like I'm making a goal before I leave the stage, I do always do an example set at the top of the show to make sure everybody's on board with it.
Yeah, exactly, and that they are like going to be supportive for the rest of the comics for the show, because if you don't buy into the concept, like it's too hard, Like it's literally the hardest show in comedy.
So it's like I got to set the plate and be like, all right, everybody on board, let's do this because this is hard, but it can be really really fun.
And then you see Comedian's Great Golden and it's really fun.
Speaker 1There's been a lot of people to try to replicate that that, but you know, yours is obviously the og.
Speaker 2I think it's oh yeah, many around for a long time, many imitations.
Speaker 1So are you pulling topics out of a bucket?
Is it a random generated.
Speaker 2To the audience suggestions.
It's like an old school improv show.
Speaker 1Dude, I love that.
Speaker 2Yeah, So you you everybody's hearing the suggestion, so it's not like you're looking and you can fish around in the bucket and you kind of decide people are hearing, and then you decide as the comic, it's to choose your own adventure of like weather, which topic you're taking because sometimes you know, people are will yell out dumb stuff where you're like, I don't want to try to riff on nail beads or something like that, right, you know, like yeah, that's you know, there's stuff like that where you're like, I don't want to try to create a joke out of this, but like I'll, you know, do something else.
Speaker 1What are your thoughts, because I've done shows like that in the past and I love them.
By the way, the real reason I had you on here is just to try to get on the show.
Nice.
But I've done shows like that, and I see what happens sometimes, is they because we all see each other's material a million times because they're always doing shows together.
I'll see a topic get thrown out and then I'll see a comic go into their material.
The cheat.
It's a cheat.
So I there was.
I was in a competition one time and I had a whole bit.
I probably had a ten minute bit about religion and God and violence, and it was like towing the line of edginess, and someone they pulled it out of a bucket and it just so happened to be they were like God and violence and I had this crisis of conscience on stage and I was like, I can't do it.
I said, you know what, can I just get another topic because I have way too much material in that and then they they pull that's.
Speaker 2The respectable thing to do.
But I've seen, you know, some people over the years, they slide right into the material and people think that they're genius.
I'm like, do you call them out for it after the show?
I don't call himut in real No, like.
Speaker 1I've seen you do that bit for three years.
Speaker 2No, no, no, no, because like I I will talk to him after the show and I'm like, what do you want to do?
Like we shoot, we shoot the show for my YouTube.
So I'm like, like, I know that's your material, so like, what are what are we doing here?
And they're usually cut that barn out because that's been my act and they just chop around.
Speaker 1I'm like, yeah, okay, that's great, man, that's great, such a cool thing.
Still doing at the Comedy Store.
Speaker 2YEP, and then we take it out to New York often and a bunch of different fests around the country.
Speaker 1So if there are comics out there who would like to be on is there a submission process?
Speaker 2Do they there is no submission process.
Speaker 1Do you just have to see Jeremiah?
Speaker 2I have to see you.
Oh, there's no booker.
It's me.
I put people on the show that I think would do the show well and that I like personally.
And the I've seen when people are like, you got to come see me, I'm like, yeah, when you're on a show with me, right and I happen to see you.
That's how it organically happens.
But I'm not going out of my way to You're not scouting.
I'm not a producer.
I'm I'm comedian first, and then I happen to have a good show.
Speaker 1Then It's really hard to do that.
I've produced shows for about six years in LA and I never have amazing sets on shows I produce because I'm in work mode.
I'm in I'm a project manager.
I'm balancing all the nonsense, people showing up late, someone being you know, drunk and erratic, you know what I mean, Like the sound not working, whatever's going on in the club is a problem.
I feel like I'm managing that.
It's like, oh, you got to go on stage and host again.
Speaker 2A lot of it is and it can.
Speaker 1Take like I love it when I can just show up and be the comic and be the funny guy.
It's really hard to produce a show and be funny.
Speaker 2I mean that's a luxury, you know, when you get to I mean that's why everybody wants to, you know, be in TV shows and movies.
You get to show up and just do the thing and not have to worry about all the cans with the script writing that goes into it, and the producing and shooting and the budgets and all that stuff.
So yeah, I mean it's it's ideal for sure to show up and just do the spot and kill and then leave and everybody love you.
Right, that's nice ideal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1I will say you were one of the first comics I saw when I moved to.
Speaker 2LA really leave it a year.
Speaker 1What year is this twenty right at the end of twenty sixteen, he'd be beginning of twenty seventeen.
I started in DC and a little bit in Dallas, and then really started taking it seriously when I got here almost what almost like what nine years ago?
But so I saw Jeff Ross first, I think it was Dean del Rey and then Jeff Ross in the main room and then I went to the or and you had just taken the stage.
Speaker 3I sat down.
Speaker 1You did this whole bit.
I don't know if this is in your special I don't remember.
I know I've seen you do it like forty times.
You do this whole bit about your nose where you were turning.
You were like turning and going like this, talking about your nose and the whole things.
Speaker 2Know, yeah, yeah, the joke is that I can't sixty nine because my noses is that it ends up in the buttle every single time.
Speaker 1But there's a whole act out where you turn.
Yeah, of course you go like this and you're like you're describing the ball.
So you do this whole thing and I don't know if you remember this, but you do the whole bit, and it's what three minutes maybe four minutes.
Speaker 2Oh, it's it's about a ninety second jokes.
Oh really, yeah, short joke.
Speaker 1Maybe so maybe you had done a little lead up because it maybe you riffed on it.
But here's what happened.
Right as you were finishing, I think a couple walks in and sits in the front row.
They had left to go to the bathroom, and you were like oh, you just missed the greatest joke.
And they're like and then everybody started chating.
It's like should I should I show you again?
And everybody's cheering.
That's something you never really do in colmedy.
You just tell the same joke twice.
Yeah, you did it literally word for word, and it made it so much better than I could have ever imagined.
You literally did the same thing.
You turned, you did the thing, and everybody was dying again, like even because now they're hearing it for the first time, but we just saw it and now it's happening word for word, mannerism for mannerism, and it was like I was just starting out and I was like, damn.
I was like this dude, this dude's good.
Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1It was really cool because I you know, at the time, I was so brand new.
I would have thought, no, just move on, you don't want to tell the same joke again, everybody to hear it.
But you did it, accepted it, and then just it made it.
I don't know it was it was anytime I travel and I'm like in these small towns or whatever and I'm doing comedy and everybody's like, yeah, man, I'm thinking about moving to LA but a really funny comic.
And I'm like, listen, let me just tell you the biggest difference.
I get to watch Kevin Hart practice.
Whatever group you're in, you're just looking at who's the best guy, and you're and you're kind of you're kind of the the You're gonna kind of be the average of all the people around you.
So I get to watch the greats practice, and it's like going to like comedy university, just coming to the clubs and watching guys make mistakes or something like that happens, so.
Speaker 2How they handle a problem.
Speaker 1Yeah, dude, that has been monumental in helping me grow.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's a big part of it.
Anybody who like is wanting to actually become a better comic if they're not actively watching comedy and surrounding themselves with it and immersing themselves with it.
I mean, I'm sure the same way like when you're in the forest, like like if you're not like fully immersed in what you're doing, Like, how good are you actually going to be at your job?
Speaker 3You have to live and breathe it.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly.
So these guys and I and you know what, there's this Uh.
Also, it's it's so much harder to get on stage out here.
The grind is incredible, the competition is immense.
It's, you know, comedy mecca, this in New York.
It's just crazy and it's kind of a weird analogy.
But what I tell these people when they're like, you think, gouh, you moved to LA, I go.
Look.
You ever played Street Fighter two on Super Nintendo.
There's a character named Blanca.
He was always my favorite when he beats you.
When you're playing through the game levels and he beats you, the little thing would come up at the bottom of the screen and it would say one or two things.
One is like, you call that fighting?
That was a joke or something like that.
But the other thing that he says is you wouldn't last a day in the jungle.
That made me a beast.
Speaker 2Oh that's a great quote.
Speaker 1And I'm like, this is why comics that thrive in LA or they get beat up here will go to Madison, Wisconsin and murder they'll go to Jacksonville, Florida.
And there's just a different feel to that comic.
There's a confidence level.
It's just call it arrogance.
I don't know, but you're just it just feels different.
So yeah, man, that you were one of my first lessons.
I was like, oh dude, he mastered.
Oh so that was really cool man.
Yeah, funny stuff.
Yeah yeah, all right, you ready to get into this, man, Absolutely, I want to know what you think.
Talk a little bit about your experience.
The old school dogmativate listeners definitely know who you are.
The new folks come into serious circus may not explain a little bit about you.
You had how many years on the force LAPD?
Speaker 3Eighteen years?
Speaker 1Eighteen years and you made it to the rank of you said P three, which was a field training officer ft prs.
So you were training the cops that were coming out.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 1One thing that people talk a lot of shit about is that cops don't have to be in training for very long.
Like, man, it takes two years to go to barber school and cut somebody's hair, but you can be a cop in six months.
How long is it to be an LAPD officer?
Speaker 3It varies agency at agency, but for us it's about a six month academy and then when you passed the academy, you're in a year long probationary evel and during that time, you have a field training officer with you who's has a book, this thick of stuff to check off the show that you're profisient in it.
And that's that's the easiest peer to get fired is within that year, because you've got to show like, hey, I can do all these different things and learn it under a year, you know.
And there's a running joke within an our department is that year you're considered a probationary officer.
But there's a joke in the department of like you finish your probation at twenty years because it takes years to really get good because some of it you can't learn in the classroom.
You have to go out there, right.
Speaker 1But they have the gun and the power to arrest like immediately, right.
I mean the guy that's six months had just got out of academy who's in your passenger seat as an officer, he as as a training officer, he can still arrest me, right.
He's a sworn peace officer with handcuffs and a gun.
So I think that's that's the scary part for general society, is there's this window where guys really don't know what they're doing and oftentimes don't know the law as we're going to see, you know, and you've talked about the auditors.
You're like, guys, just walk away, like you're making us look bad.
You know, when the guy walks up talks shit to the guy on camera and they're like, give me your ID and they start demanding get your You can't do that, yeah, you know, so they end up kind of I mean, it's bad enough when you work at a regular job and the CEO's son becomes some kind of vice president and he's like bossing you around and you've been there twelve years and you're like, this kid has no idea what he was going on.
But do you give that kid a gun and the power to detain you and restrict your freedom.
It's a whole different ballgame.
Speaker 5You know.
Speaker 3It is like your probationary period.
It's like a parent child relationship kind of.
Wow, you're like the parent for this new little officer that's sent out there, and basically the first few months they're just your guard dog.
They just stand there and like just watch and try to absorb as much as they can.
You tell them to do this, do that.
Speaker 1Feel free to ask me questions too, Jeremi, if you're curious about any of this stuff.
Speaker 2I mean, I would be curious if the world of TikTok has made being a police officer more difficult.
Do you know what I'm referencing.
I'm referencing all the people who are doing the selfies, who are kind of questioning police officers and they're rights and filming everything now versus like back in the day.
There weren't cell phones.
There weren't like the dash cams and stuff.
And it feels like a lot of the TikTok videos that I see that go viral, they are being pretty aggressive towards the cops, like back, because there there is that arrogance of like, I know my rights, I'm gonna tell you like it is.
But I would think that there's got to be a good majority of people who actually don't really know what the laws are, that they might have seen another TikTok video and they think that they can be cocky as well.
So I was always curious about that, like, if it's been made a more difficult job because of social media.
Speaker 3Yeah, because you have people out there that want to make a name for themselves or kind of just poke the bear and hopefully like, oh, maybe this office will do something to me and I get them just to go a little bit over the edge and then you know, I get all this attention.
Or maybe when a lawsuit or anything with like with a lot of the udditors is a good example.
I always welcome being recorded.
My first thing I'd say is like, just do me a huge favor and get my good side, you know, my left side, that's my good side.
And I'm mean, you can court all you want, man, Like, I don't care.
I always carry a tape recorder with me because you never know who you're gonna do out there and what they'll say later.
But yeah, especially with social media, there's been it's it's something people really like to watch and get involved in.
So that motivates people to go out there and film police and getting involved in everything and playing St Street lawyer and everything.
But you have to roll with it, you know, let.
Speaker 1Me play Tiktoker's advocate for a second.
You're right, they will go out and aggressively yell insults at cops and talk shit to them to try to bait them into breaking the law or violating their rights.
But it didn't start that way.
You know, it started with cops violating people's rights and lying to them about what the truth is about what the law is.
Speaker 2For sure.
Speaker 1So a cop would be in the middle of arresting someone and then being violent and beating them up a little bit, and then somebody across the street would be filming and the cop would be like, I don't give you permission to film me.
Turn your camera off, and you're like, no, dude, I'm holding you accountable, and they start walking.
I gave you a lawful command, put your hands behind your back, give me your ID.
I don't have to do.
And then we see that person get slammed to the ground and arrested.
And then the only consequence later is he's let go with no charges but detaining his you know, actually detaining the guy, putting the guy in jail.
He may lose his job or whatever, doesn't go to work for a few days.
That's never addressed, and the cop isn't held accountable.
Sometimes, so what would happen is the auditors are like, well, since I do know my rights and I know what you're not, I'm not allowed to do.
I'm gonna intentionally provoke you to see how you will react when you're pissed off.
Are you gonna violate my rights?
And they're kind of using themselves as bait for public education purposes.
And sometimes they do get beat up and then they get a big ass lawsuit from the police department and they literally do that for their job.
And I think it's been pretty cool because I think cops have learned more than anybody else have from it.
Cops are like, oh, he's allowed to do it, but it's video.
We don't have any I think we have one auditor video in here, but most of them are maybe there's two, but most of them are are people who have been had those interactions in the past, and they say, I'm doing this for you know, public education purposes.
So because cops started violating people's rights, then they started going, at least I can provoke you.
So but yeah, you're right, I mean, they're they're definitely assholes to them, but they do it on purpose.
Speaker 2I mean there's, you know, both sides of the coin, obviously.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, of course.
All right, let's get to the first video.
You ready, Danny?
All right, We're gonna play the first video.
I think it's pretty short.
Speaker 3The video I hadn't seen it yet.
I couldn't load it on the drop box.
Oh I sent this to you, okay, the first one you sent me.
I watched that.
Speaker 1Oh oh no, no, no, that's only one little six minute clip of today.
The rest of them are all going to be new to you then.
Yeah, I was trying to throw your bone.
I send in the video in advance in case he won, just.
Speaker 3Like I'm there and all value do like you're there, let's go.
Speaker 1Oh, hi bro?
Speaker 2What's that?
Speaker 1What?
Let's you just go awhare?
Speaker 4What's the one word I got?
Speaker 2I got you on camera?
Speaker 6Bro?
Speaker 7I got Trump camera, We're all job.
Speaker 8Hey, well you just do that idea here?
Speaker 1Keep back that up.
I want to watch that one again.
If you notice the cops eyes are blocked by the part of the door, so he doesn't see that.
He's he doesn't see that the guy's recording.
Watch, Hi, bro, what's that?
Speaker 4Lets you just go ahead?
What's the one word I got?
Speaker 1I got you on comer?
Speaker 9Bro?
Speaker 4I got Trump camera, We're all job.
Speaker 1Hey?
Speaker 8Well you just do that idea here?
Speaker 1Okay?
Speaker 2See, so says in insane.
Speaker 1So for me, think of all the times there was not a camera going think of all the times sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, two thousand, two thousand and two, people weren't walking around with phones in their pockets that had cameras on them.
I mean all the years people were popped for stuff like that.
And now if that were me, if I'm the guy filming, I'm now I filmed him, But I'm going what if he takes my phone?
What if he beats my ass?
What if he points a gun at me and says he's got a gun, he's got a gun, and then starts firing and then goes, oh, it was a phone.
Sorry, I thought he had a gun pointed at me.
He could just take your phone.
What if he deletes it and then goes and deletes it from the trash.
It's terrifying.
So what do you have to say for yourself?
Speaker 3Yeah, I you know, I think about situations like that, and it always bringing me back to a story when before I got on the department, I was a bodyguard.
I worked for Gavin de Becker and Associates.
They do executive protection for CEOs and celebrities.
And now my first client, well signed with Bob Iger of Disney.
Oh and when he was offsite.
We covered him when he was on site.
Like work, Disney had their own security, and one day the Disney security wanted to come to his house where we actually had a room covering him, and they started asked his questions and it's one way in, one way out in room and the security guard's like or they're his security is like, so if you open this door and someone shot you in the face, what would you do?
I said, I'd probably die.
In their situations like, hey, what if a cop comes up to you?
It's just like, I don't have an answer for that.
Wow, you know, thankfully in the time of cameras and I looked into this.
I remember looking in the story a while ago.
He got busted for that and multiple other people, and I think a lot of his cases were you know, that he was involved in were dismissed because of that.
And it's I can't think of the mindset of why you would do that.
Speaker 2How does some planting evidence as a cop?
How does that benefit?
Speaker 3I seriously have no idea whatsoever.
Speaker 2Is there a certain quota that is ever, like, I know not with an r agency, but there's other agencies where maybe he I'm trying to think outside the box and maybe he wants the extra court time, oh weird, an.
Speaker 3Overtime or I don't know.
Some cops are just dirty period in their criminals.
Speaker 1Just well, would you not say that a cop who has a lot of criminal drug busts would be considered a pretty good candidate for say, detective, Yeah, it could be, but versus a guy who just gives a bunch of warnings and has citizen contact but doesn't really arrest a lot of people.
And then you have this other guy who's got nine drug busts a month, You're like, wow, he's really out there kicking ass.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1And then if they're both up for a detective, I mean, you're gonna take the guy who's out there with making results right right?
Speaker 3And I think that would be an agency, our agency because with LAPD and none of that matters.
It's how good you interview and how many years you have on I.
Speaker 1Mean, they don't even look at what you They don't look at your They look at.
Speaker 3Your complaint record and what you've worked, but they don't look at they don't look at your rescap of like how many citations did he get?
That that may apply for if you're a patrol officer trying to get a field training officer because that's promotion within your station.
I see, but small agencies that could be the deal.
I have no idea of smaller agencies.
It's like, you mess up once, you're never promoting again.
Speaker 5I know.
Speaker 1I've seen documentaries on you know, like DA's that reopen cases and go after people and plant evidence on someone and frame someone to close out a cold case because they're going to be running for some office or their elections coming up, or you know, something like that.
Speaker 3So I just don't get it.
I can't even like.
Speaker 1It looks like it's kind of a tough on crime illusion, you know, A.
Speaker 3Yeah, when politics get involved in, anything's possible.
Speaker 1Unfortunately, all right, let's do the next video.
Speaker 5Daddy, stop respectating.
Speaker 7I'm being.
Speaker 5So.
Speaker 1I don't know why people post videos on the internet with captions and have the don't check the captions.
None of the captions are right.
He didn't say I've decided this.
He said I need your ide please, but it says I've decided this, and so just ignore the captions.
Essentially, what's happening, Danny feel if you'll rewind this, what's happening here?
Is there's a car show and at the end of the car show there they do the burnouts.
Right as they're leaving the car show, they're all taking off of burning out.
This guy was there filming and he's being told that spectating is a crime.
It's actually a moving violation.
You're not allowed to be spectating.
And I think they're doing this and we can watch the video, but I think the point of this is they are they can't catch the people in the Ferraris and the Mustangs and the you know, the Hemi Challengers that are hauling ass and plus there's like forty of them, so what are you gonna do?
So to try to stop them from doing it, they're thinking, we'll just arrest the people who are standing there that we can easily grab to persuade people to not show up, so that if nobody's there, the cars won't feel the need to show off.
And so it's it's to me, it's such an overreach of free him, but that's what's happening.
He's basically about to be arrested him and then and then he threatens him that if he doesn't give his ID, he's going to be arrested.
Speaker 5Okay, any kinds of shriffs off, just mean stop respectating, racing and burning out these.
Speaker 1I'm being what you're being detained and needs your driver sizings please for citing perspectating on racing and rning.
Speaker 3Now who says i'll expectator?
Speaker 2Yeah?
View on video?
Speaker 5So I need your license.
Speaker 8So it's a legal to watch, yes, sir, it's a living violation.
Speaker 5It's a moving violation.
Yes, there's your license.
Speaker 1Okay.
And so you're telling me it's.
Speaker 5I'm not going to ask you a gin, sir.
I understand you can record.
I'm recording as well.
I know your license plaice and then we can discuss further.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 3So you're telling me that if I do not give you my license drilling on a seven fe rest, yes, sir?
Speaker 7Okay.
Speaker 5And what's that tune?
Speaker 9Is that?
Speaker 5I looked up the exact statue.
It's undefeadive arrests.
I will provide my information, thanks, sir.
Speaker 4What's your name and badge number?
Speaker 5Deffie kalmis idea two zero one is your address?
Ye?
Speaker 4What is it?
Speaker 1That's it?
What is it?
Speaker 4You have the idea?
They're master perner dressing.
It's whatever's there.
Speaker 1Anyway, so he ends up getting a citation for Well, can you get a citation for that?
Apparently it's some kind of code in that city or ordinance.
Speaker 2It is like an actual I mean, that's my.
Speaker 1Question for you is have you heard anything like that?
They said that it's it's a it's a it's a moving violation to stand still on a corner and watch people burn out.
I just think that's an overreach and a I think it's a violation of our rights.
But I'm curious.
I understand why.
Like I said before, when I played before we played the clip, I get it.
They can't chase down all the cars.
Maybe this is a way to like scatter the crowds.
But you know, people that are just showing up to a car show.
They're not showing up to a race, by the way, a street race.
They're showing up to a car show.
And then as these cars are leaving, they do a little burnout, and then they're all pulling out onto the main street and they're like watching the cars peel out.
But because they're watching, they get a ticket.
Have you ever heard of anything like this?
Speaker 3Yeah, I took training in street racing early in my career, and street racing is not what it used to be.
It was a huge problem from like early two thousands up until like the time I got on by the Way and that problem and a lot of it came from the deaths they were involved, so there was a lot of political neighborhood pushback on that and street racing down streets and whatnot.
So, yeah, there are sections that if you're spectating partaking, Now, did he cross the line?
I don't know.
I'm gonna assume this is California, just okay, okay, it was just hypothetically that would be a violation.
I I don't know the area or what kind of problems there would I enforce that, probably not approaly to like, hey, you guys need to go get out of here, and if they didn't, then its citation.
Moving violation doesn't necessarily mean, again California, that you're moving.
Moving violation is a kind of a term where it's a point on your driving record kind of violation, so believe it or not, Like violating certain signs is a moving violation even though it's like don't turn here or speedings of violation.
Speaker 2But jwalking and moving violation no, okay.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's it's really weird.
I think in LA there's no more jaywalking.
In California, it's like it's not enforced.
Yeah they did.
There was some kind of overturning of that.
Yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, it's not enforcing more as far as I know.
Yeah.
Now, the ID thing in calif there's only twenty is states where if you're detained for regional suspicion, very low standard, you have to present some kind of ID.
It's that state's law.
California's not one of them.
So if this was California and so he detained for something that's not traffic related, you wouldn't have necessarily provide an ID.
Speaker 1Well, but he was.
He was suspected of committing a crime.
He just didn't know what the crime.
Speaker 3Was, right, and it's technically a traffic violation.
Now, could he be cited for not presenting a driver's license?
No, it had to It would just have to be an ID.
I've ran into this problem before, like someone jwats you don't have to give a driver's like you have to some some kind of form I D okay, yeah, picture I D picture D yeah ok yeah.
And advice it is not legal, just a cops advice.
You hand the copy I D and they say what is your address?
And you go, well it's right there.
That starts ringing alarm bells in her head like is this even a real id?
Yeah, because I've had people pull.
Speaker 1Out on me many times, you know, I mean yeah, But at that point he feels like he's already being like his freedom's being restricted unfairly.
So then you start getting into questions like am I legally required to assist you in your investigation?
Well, no, do your fucking job the IDs on the license.
I'm not gonna participate in you abusing your power.
I'm not gonna participate in you bullying me.
So every little thing I can hold on too, I'm gonna hold on.
So just like when people don't want to be arrested, so they just go dead weight and you're just like dragging people across the it's childish, but they're they're trying psychologically, they're just trying to hold on to some form of control that they have, and that's probably what that was.
I don't want to answer your questions, even if your question is what's your address?
I just gave you my address.
I'm not gonna participate in you bullying me, Yeah, but I understand it's gonna piss the cop off.
Speaker 3Yeah it is.
It's gonna extend the length of your sure.
Speaker 1Sure, And if that was me, I probably would have just said it, but I understand why he did.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, yeah, And he's probably like, what I can get in trouble for this, And it's like he's probably how you want to spend your Unless there's some kind of detail street racing detail, then it's like, yeah, they're gonna get you.
Speaker 1And then he asks him, he's like, do you have the coat, Like, what's the what's the pedal coat on that?
And he's like, I'll pull it up for you in a minute.
I'll get you the actual.
Speaker 3Yeah, if you're w reguling enforcing, you should know the vehicle code for something like that.
Speaker 1That's so, what do you think, man?
Do you think this is fair?
I mean, it's kind of a good I understand what they're trying to do, But what are your thoughts on it?
Speaker 2I mean, I don't think it's fair for somebody just watching, But I also don't know if like there's random laws that sometimes in cities that were unaware of you know what I mean?
Yeah, you know that's that's you know, I think it sucks.
And and if he if you just feel like if you were just like standing there watching like somebody peel out and you're filming it with your phone and then you get a ticket for that, I think that sucks.
Speaker 1Yeah, but apparently that's the case.
Speaker 3I mean, that's in my personal opinion.
Unless they're like a detail for that, that's chicken shit, dude, Like find some bigger fish then.
Speaker 2That that's what I mean.
Speaker 3There's like it was like a legite street racing.
It's late at night and crowded there.
Speaker 1I can see that.
Speaker 2Yeah, I can see any of your brand that you're trying to promote out there yet a merch table, then maybe it's like okay, you might get a ticket or something like that.
Then then it's like you're trying to promote the actual race, you.
Speaker 1Know, monetizing the activity.
Sure, but this is so important to point out there at a car show and they're leaving the car show, so so then I wonder how you could argue that in court, Like what if I'm just walking out the same way the cars are driving.
I'm walking to my car.
I couldn't park in the park lite, I park at the Wendy's across the street and I'm walking and then the car peels out and I see them.
Am I now violating because I looked at a car?
I mean, it just seems so ridiculous to me.
Speaker 3Yeah, I think you bring that video of the judge, he's gonna be like, come on, man, you know, if it's just like they're leaving, you film it and they peel out and you're like, oh wow, that was crazy.
You know.
That's the one thing.
Speaker 1Well, I think the cops, or at least the city Ordinance's position is if no one's there to film it, they're not going to do it.
Well, shit, yes they are.
They spend the money on this fast car.
I know from experience they're gonna do it whether people are watching or not.
Speaker 3So I'd rather go after their guy exist exhibition of speed peeling out, flying down the road.
That's the person he's gonna get someone killed, not the guy filming.
Speaker 2Yeah, you know, is it true you can get a dui on a bicycle.
Speaker 3Yes, I've done it.
I'm not.
I've wrested guys for d A.
Speaker 1It's like, no, I caught off and get a hand back to work.
Speaker 2Actually is this the same thing with like now the bird and Lime scooters and stuff like that, Like, because people use those as transportation all the time.
When they get wasted after the like you know, last call at a bar, they're on one of those electric scooters.
Could you potentially.
Speaker 3Probably could you might set a precedent case law with that.
Speaker 2Interesting because a lot of times the universe will just make them eat it and then they fall off anyway.
But I'm, you know, just curious about that.
Speaker 1Yeah.
I know that when you get a d UI and you have no motorized transportation restriction h that can even include a writing lawnmower on your own property.
WHOA meaning if a cop drives by and happens to know that you've had a DUI and that you have that restriction in core as part of your probation, you cannot drive a motorized vehicle.
If they see you mowing your own lawn completely sober at nine o'clock in the morning, they can walk under your property and arrest you.
I had an argument with someone and I was saying, there's no way that's legal, and they were like, I bet you it is.
And this person had more experience with having a dui and I'd never had one, and they were like, I'm telling you, man, once you do that, man, you give up so much.
And like, there's no way they could stop you from driving a riding lawnmower sober on your own land.
And they're like, yeah, they will, and so we went and looked it up and sure enough, it's part of the it can be part of the restrictions.
Speaker 2But I mean, I guess that's part of like when you do commit certain crimes or fell on you or whatever, you do have to forfeit certain rights where that's part of you know, that's part of the payment process.
Speaker 1Is like exactly.
It's just shocking to me that even on your own property.
I mean, yeah, that's where it's like damn.
It's that way with alcohol too, though, if you're not allowed to drink and allowed to drink in your in your bedroom.
Speaker 3There's actual task forces that will stalk the habitual drunks and like sit outside their house and like an unmarked car and sometimes they'll like wait for their court date to show up and see how they get to court, and then snatch them up as they drive to court when they're not supposed to.
That's that's for like the really bad offenders, like three, four or five times.
Yeah, and I could see them waiting for that guy to get on the little Uh do.
Speaker 1You think the city should think the city should offer transportation for your court date?
I think so, like maybe like an uber or an uber credit something, or maybe like have a city thing like, well come get you just for the court date at least, like you can't have swing by something.
Speaker 2I think for jury duty for sure.
Speaker 1Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 2That's for jury duty.
You should absolutely be given either an uber or a rental car or something to get there, because then all of a sudden, you're coming out of pocket, You're already having to take off of work all this stuff, like they have to accommodate a little bit.
I've luckily gotten out of dirty duty a couple of times because like they've asked, like around the time when I had babies being born and stuff, I'm like I'm the only one, and then they're like, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1I was like, my luck was you know, Trey Crowder.
Me and Trey had jury duty within like a week of each other, and I helped him out because what happened in my case was I actually got to do it from home.
Wow, and it counted in.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1So I what they do is it was during the pandemic, and so they sent me my notice and it was like, because of the pandemic, you can register online and if we need you to come in and you get selected, you will have to come in.
And so I filled it all my info and it was like just as long as you check, and you had to glog in every morning at like nine am and check that you are available if they need you.
And then it went throughout the day and I would check and then i'd like clock out at the end of the day.
And I did that for five days and then my service was done for like the seven year period or whatever.
It is.
Speaker 3Nice.
Speaker 1Yeah, and then Trey did it too.
I was like, dude, we're doing it online.
Now.
He's like what that he did the same thing.
He did this from home.
Yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 3Nice.
Speaker 1All right, let's look at one more video or maybe another video.
I don't know how many there are anymore.
Speaker 8I've done absolutely nothing.
No, seriously, put your gun.
Speaker 1Down, really all right?
Pose it positive it So man in California says he was hooking up his boat in front of his house when he began recording a police officer driving through his neighborhood.
So he had already had some issues with the police department, and he thinks the police department is corrupt whatever city this is, and this cop, he says.
The longer version of this story is the cop had driven up and down the street multiple times, and he was feeling like this cop was trying to intimidate him by driving around in front of his house multiple times because he had had issues calling out the police department for corruption.
Okay, and when this cop sees him filming, this is what happens.
Speaker 8Clearly didn't like that I was pointing my camera to videotape him.
He thinks he's being funny.
Speaker 4Now, oh wow, Hi, go take your hand out of your pocket out.
Speaker 8No, sir, I've done nothing.
I've done absolutely nothing.
No, seriously, put your gun down.
Really ever time, this one's really got a gun.
No, you don't touch me.
You don't touch me.
Speaker 4I'm at that address.
Speaker 8You don't touch me.
No, you don't touch me.
Speaker 4When I tell you to take your hand out.
Speaker 8I've done nothing.
Speaker 4Nope, you need to relax.
Speaker 8What have I done?
Why'd you get out your vehicle.
Speaker 4You're taking a picture of me.
Speaker 5I'm taking a picture.
Speaker 8You take your picture and leave the I don't have to leave, neither do I.
Speaker 4So I want to take your hand out of your pocket.
Speaker 5I just want to make sure you.
Speaker 4Don't have a web.
Speaker 8You know, I don't have a weapon on me.
I don't know that you do that.
Speaker 2I his hand out of his pocket.
Speaker 9Wrong.
Speaker 8You have your gun out because you're a police officer.
Speaker 2You're trying to hand he's.
Speaker 3Filming your station.
Speaker 1Is corrupt, You're right, he's got a camera.
No, sir, guy or something like that?
Is that he says, are you some kind of constitutionalist crazy guy or something like that?
You mean someone who knows the constitution and says, I'm not going to let you violate my rights and intimidate me.
That's now an insult.
Speaker 3About what you're going after?
Speaker 8Is that where you're going?
Are you throwing claims around?
Speaker 1Yeah?
So I think they ended up.
I think there was some kind of trouble the guy got into.
I don't know the history of that.
This is a really old.
Speaker 3Video and it was hard to find.
I remember watching this before.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, thoughts man, because I view think through illegal lens, and then a tactics lens.
Okay, And if that guy's gonna pull a police off, I'm gonna go through the tactics part first.
If he unholsters his firearm.
Generally most departments say you unholser your firearm when the situation leads you to believe that it can escalate the use of deadly force or serious bodily injury.
Okay, that's our policy.
We allowed, We're allowed to pull out our gun.
I don't see anything in there.
Let's say it's like they have the same policy as LAPD.
There's nothing in that would dictate to me like I'm gonna pull my gun out like that.
Now let's say he's like, well, he had his hand in his pocket.
What was the prior information you had.
If there's none, okay, you can ask him take his hand out of pocket.
But if you think he's so much a threat, why are you leaving cover of your car and walking up to him exact time and distance is your friend exactly?
And like, if he's such a threat, why would you be walking up to him like that?
Speaker 1Again, it's one of those abuses of power that I'm talking about.
I mean, could you imagine that guy doing that, not not filming it, and for whatever reason he's staring at him or taking literally pictures instead of video.
The cop gets out and does this.
This is again one of the reasons why auditors do what they do.
What happens if I make this cop piste off.
That cop looks such so childlike when he's like, you're taking pictures of me, I'm taking pictures of you, like it's like a ten year old on a place exactly.
Speaker 3And my vibe from him is he's probably a reservist or someone who doesn't or it's a really small town.
He's had zero experience with any kind of law enforcement.
I'm not making excuses for him, but just the way he's talking, the way he's acting like this guy has no experience, I gotta say, and he's like probably in his sixties.
Speaker 1I don't even love the idea of a reserve officer.
Explain for the people don't know, it's basically like a part time volunteer cop.
Speaker 3Right, And with our department, there's different levels, So like the highest level, they'd have to work with a field training officer like me, and I've had I've worked with them, and there's other ones they're only allowed to work in the station, and I'm glad they do the work they do, but they just don't have the constant experience of being an officer.
They may show up like one weekend a month or two weekends, and a lot of officers will try to keep them away from the usual stuff.
And I had one guy, great dude, he was worked at an airport and he wanted to be a reserve officer and he's working with me and I'm like, so, have you made any arrest?
He goes no, I'd like he stopped anybody Like no.
I'm like, well, you're gonna learn today with me, because I don't want you to go back out there and mess up.
And he didn't like having to strip search a guy later that day.
But I'm like, you want to do this job, You're going to learn how to do everything.
Speaker 1Yeah.
I just don't think being a cop is something you should be able to do part time, just like he was saying early on, just like Jeremiah was saying, like, you got to pour your life to it.
Yeah, because and that's I mean, you got to pull your life into comedy if you'll be successful at it.
But the chance of someone dying because you're bad at Comedy's pretty low.
Yeah, you know what I mean, not zero, but pretty low.
But I think, you know, being a part time temporary volunteer police officer that should not be allowed.
I just don't think that's like doing that as a judge, like, oh, you know, I work at the steel meal Monday through Friday.
Then on Saturday I take a look at the UI cases.
You know, No, your job is too important to part time volunteer it.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, no, I wouldn't mind them doing work around the station, but in the field, but they need a lot more time.
Speaker 1Yeah yeah.
Process is a paperwork or doing something, yeah, or maybe working in a jail helping process people or something like that.
Speaker 3Just getting used to being in contact.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly, out in the world with a car and a gun.
Speaker 3That just feels and.
Speaker 1Oh no, he probably got in trouble for that.
Yeah, I'm hoping he did anywhere.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean he was on vacation when they were asked for questioning.
Right, that's a nice way it's been like all right, you go while the heat dies down a little bit, and then of course, all right, let's go.
Speaker 10It just sucks that you kind of some suspicious activity outside in the parking lot.
Two guys have tattoos all over them, and uh, I'm not going to go out there.
And then but they're like looking around.
They're in there the back the trunk and they have all these bags.
They're looking through them and they keep looking around.
Speaker 11I don't know if your hands up, guys, hands up, So right off the bat, you know, I know that these guys, I've seen the whole video.
Speaker 1We'll talk this is the one you saw.
Yeah, okay, so we talk about what happens later if you want.
Right off the bat, you heard that, like, guys are in the trunk and they're looking around and they have tet The cops are actually tatted up more than these guys.
That yeah, yeah, so okay, I just already I don't like the way the report came in.
But I realized those words are gonna those words have a way of having that like a cultural effect on people and they don't even realize it.
It's just anyway, anyway, go.
Speaker 9Ahead, what's going on?
Speaker 7Man, You've got to call uh said you guys phone clothes?
Bro Okay, if that's what it is, that's what it is.
Speaker 9But hold on, don't be reaching.
Speaker 7Okay, somebody called and said, you guys are looking at the trunk, looking around, being real suspicious, and I'm just fulling clothes cleaning just for brez.
You can smell it, okay.
If that's what it is, that's what it is.
But you know, people see stuff and they call us.
We gotta do our thing, and so all right, let me, uh you don't mind, let me just look real quick.
Speaker 1All right, pausit right here.
So he says, if you don't mind, let me just look real quick.
Speaker 3Is that a question, Yes, that's that's a question.
Speaker 1He's requesting consent to look.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1So could the guy close his trunk and say I don't consent to searches?
Speaker 3He could, but I don't know what's in the officer's mind and what he's thinking is really going on here in his expert opinion of what's going on here.
Yeah, they could close it, but they're going to dig this.
Speaker 1It's not going to be considered obstruction.
If he closes his trump.
He goes, if you don't mind, let me take a look here.
Speaker 3Yeah, if you don't mind, that's expressed, like I need express consent right to do it now.
If he said, let me look in there or anything like that.
Speaker 1It's interesting that he didn't ask.
He said, if you don't mind, let me take a look in there.
It ends with a period, that's a statement, but he did preface it with if you don't mind.
So this is where I get into the like, where's this guy's right?
I mean, maybe I should have an attorney on instead of a coma, But I think I think he has the right to close his trunk and say I don't consent to searches.
What crime have I committed?
Right?
Speaker 2Just missed?
Speaker 1Get away from me.
Stop harassing me.
I haven't committed a crime.
I'm folding clothes.
Nothing in my car is any of your business.
Leave me alone, right.
Speaker 9Okay, nothing will ego or anything.
Just don't be racing in there.
Speaker 10I'm just don't.
Speaker 9I can't touch my own and encounters.
Speaker 3I can tell you not to.
Speaker 6Just for all suspicious everybody that we come in contact with.
Speaker 1Right there, we have to ida everybody that we come in contact with.
Speaker 3Okay, that's not true.
Speaker 1You do not have to.
I d everybody you come in contact with.
Speaker 3Well, later in the video says if it's consentual, I don't have to Again, I I'm watching this video.
If I responded to that and what I think is going on here before I even watch the whole thing, I have.
You know, I thought this is going to be just folding clothes maybe, but I picture myself.
I live in that apartment complex.
I know who comes and goes.
If someone parked out in front of my house and these two guys showed up open the trunk and they're going through it and looking around, looking around, looking around, and like something's going on here, I know who lives in the area.
So my two articulated things that could be going on here is they're trifling to someone else's car and they're looking for stuff to take, or they're dealing some kind of contraband.
Speaker 1You think they might be.
They might be, but you being suspicious of that does not constitute a crime worth identifying them.
It's not reasonable, articulable suspicion to demand ID from someone, right, So.
Speaker 3I had to watch this video all the way figure out where the hell was at and it's in Ohio.
In Ohio, if they have a reasonable suspicion that a crime maybe occurring, has occurred, or will occur, they can request you to identify yourself.
It's one of those twenty somethings.
Speaker 1But they have to have reasonable articular suspicion.
And these guys folding clothes in the trunk, I don't think is reasonable.
Speaker 2But he's saying to them it could be, because if you're walking up on somebody, sure, I'm gonna play Devil's advocate here.
Sure, if you're walking up on somebody who's going through a trunk two grown men who they say, we're folding laundry, Okay, that's fine.
Maybe, but from a different point of view, it could be either they're dealing drugs to each other or whatever, and that's why you know.
But wouldn't that be enough to want to check it out?
No?
Speaker 1I don't think so.
I mean, I think want to check it out and walk up and ask them.
But we're about to cross the threshold of I would like to know who you are, I would like to know what you're doing.
I don't like what it is, and I'm suspicious that you're committing a crime, but I don't have reasonable proof that you're doing it.
Speaker 2So I think that's why casually is he's just asking, hey, can I take a look real quick?
Speaker 1Right?
That's what I'm saying yeah, And so when the guy's like no, he basically starts saying, I'm gonna Arren Stew if you don't give me your ID.
Well, now that's a whole new problem.
Speaker 2I mean, so let's I haven't seen that part of the video.
Speaker 1Yeah, let's go.
Okay, right there, I'll stop right there.
Keep that in mind.
Remember he said that if you don't give me your Social Security number, you have to give me your name and your date of birth.
Remember that he said that.
Okay, but again, I think that's not true.
I don't think.
I don't think this guy has enough.
Just two guys with a trunk open, going through clothes.
I think maybe they could.
I think they could run the plate.
They could say, hey, why don't you close your trunk for me, let me take a look at plate, or walk around the front of the car and run the plate.
I think that the cops can run the plate.
The car comes back stolen, All right, now we got an issue.
Now you got a ID, because now you're in possession of a stolen vehicle.
Speaker 2Well, they're folding laundry in a BMW and most people who own BMW's are not folding their laundry in a trunk.
Sure, so there are some.
Speaker 1And also I've literally full did laundry in a BMW trunk and I'm not making that up.
My car is a.
Speaker 2Little not a sane person.
You're a comedian.
This is true.
Yeah, this is true.
Speaker 1But I've been on the road and I've had clothes out of from a from a laundry mat.
Speaker 2Did you do it with did you deal with a buddy?
Speaker 5No?
Speaker 1I did it by myself.
But but I did it with tattoos.
Tattoos by myself.
I was I looked about like this guy.
I think, Yeah, I wouldn't hang out with this guy for sure.
Speaker 2But wise because he looks a little shady to you.
Speaker 1Yeah, it looks like I need to see his ID.
Actually, I need to know his Social Security number to be honest with you.
Yeah, yeah, I just don't know that this guy has enough on this anyway, Go ahead.
Speaker 9Special situation.
Speaker 7We have the document that we are here talking to you.
Speaker 9But how many people full coal clothes in the trunk of a car?
Speaker 1Officer Jeremiah, Ladies and Jumpy.
Speaker 6No, I understand that part.
But what we're saying is it's are you worried because you might have a Well, it's not that it's.
Speaker 8There.
Speaker 9When they call us to come out and see that they're folding.
Speaker 1All right, pause it again.
He said, when they call us, we gotta come out and check this.
Historically.
Right now, we're talking about a couple of white cops and a couple of white guys.
But you know what happens a lot of times a black guy goes walking through a neighborhood and every white person comes to their door going, he doesn't belong here, suspicious person, suspicious person.
Cops show up and going, hey, people called and said they're a little worried about you walking around this neighborhood.
Give me your ID.
Them being afraid of me isn't a crime.
You being suspicious of me isn't a crime.
I've done nothing wrong.
I'm just existing as a free human in this society.
And the cops show up and say, prove to me who you are, give me your name and date of birth.
That's it's an overreach.
I think I think they're lying to him.
We have to idea everybody become in contact with you, do not if you come up, If you come in contact with me, and I'm committing no crime and you don't actually have any proof that I've committed a crime or reasonable articular suspicion that I'm about to commit a crime.
I can tell you to fuck off.
What are you gonna do about it?
I'm not doing anything wrong.
Sure it's weird, but you know what else is weird?
If these guys were doing cartwheels, that would be weird.
Also not illegal for a couple of forty year old men to do cartwheels together.
They could be playing patty Cake?
Are you gonna demand their id because two forty year old men are playing patty Cake?
Speaker 2Yeah, because they're on myth, of course they are.
Speaker 1Well, it's none of the business.
Speaker 9It's all okay.
Speaker 4Let me ask you something, because I get.
Speaker 1Judged where he says, I can judge every where I go because I have faced that.
Speaker 9No, I'm not sure.
Speaker 6What people call us for nowadays, because everybody's got a cell phone, everybody's got access to everything, So they call them it.
Believe me, they call us about everything.
They call us about stuff that we don't even want to be involved in, such as folding clothes.
So just getting basic information, listen, Basic information is for an informational report that we spoke to the two of you.
You were folding clothes and we leave.
It's that simple, that's it, and we're not doing it to.
Speaker 1Investigates it please Daniel, so they they can write that in their report without getting my social Security number.
We walked up, they were folding clothes.
We left them alone.
What's It's because the cops think more is going on, and they're trying to force to see who these people are, to see if they're wanted, if they have warrants, if they have drugs in the car, and I'm sure they're gonna find that.
Yeah, I mean, these guys are not good guys, just so you know.
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't know what's what these cops are thinking.
And a lot of times will downplay things like oh yeah, you're just folding clothes.
In my head, I go, okay, they're doing this, this and this.
I think there's they're committing this crime.
I'm just gonna play it low, like, hey, I just got to get your info from a report or whatever, and I'll be out of your mind, out of your hair right and try it so it doesn't escalate.
Speaker 1And I think you can say that and I'm fine.
I'm fine with those psychological mind fucks of Yeah, yeah, I'm me.
Just get your info and we'll get you out of here, no problem.
What I don't like is when it comes to the threat of arrest for not providing the idea.
That's my point, because now we're we're already walking that line of like Nazi Germany, I don't like your face, give me your ID.
Who are you?
Do you belong here?
You have mannerisms of someone who's Jewish.
You don't look like you belong in this neighborhood.
This is a white neighborhood.
Why is a black guy jogging here?
We're these guys are way back here on that line.
But that's that's where this leads to.
It's a slippery slope if we allow cops to just grab anybody they want and demand ID.
I mean, the Supreme Court thing that just came out was that that ice can if they feel if they believe you are working a low income job, have brown skin, and are speaking Spanish, they can detain you to see if you're a legal immigrant.
We have reached a new low in this country, and I think it's ship like this has desensitized us to it because you're like, well, maybe those guys are doing something wrong, and you know what they are.
These guys are doing something wrong.
Yeah, flat out, these guys are doing something wrong.
But I think these cops are lying to them, threatening them with arrest in order to get their ID and then anyway anything any further.
Speaker 6It is to get the information that we have to get.
You have the right to when we make contact with you, provide us with the information.
Speaker 7I look at as you are curious as to why we're asking for your information, and I'm providing you the information why we're asking for information, and then we're gonna just go that route be done with it.
Speaker 9That's my understanding.
Speaker 6I'm legally allowed to not that's incorrect if we're being accused of I if.
Speaker 7This was a if this was a consensual encounter where I walk up to you, absolutely no reason to talk to you, and you said, off, guess what?
But no, no, no, somebody called said that you guys were doing.
Speaker 9The whole look around.
Speaker 5Do you live here?
Speaker 9Okay?
That elevates the suspicion.
Speaker 7A friend it's here?
Speaker 1Is her car suspicious?
Speaker 7As if you were in my position, you'd probably be like, this is getting really suspicious.
Speaker 9The two dudes that don't live here.
Got backed up car.
Okay, you guys are now extending this.
We would already be gone.
Okay, So if you just provide me with your name.
Speaker 7Day of birth, if you don't give me your social then I will get your name and date of.
Speaker 9Birth and phone number and get out here.
Speaker 7So I talked to you, saw exactly what was going on, because you can take this further to the point of an arrest, right there?
Speaker 9Anything wrong?
Speaker 1All right?
Pause it real quick for me last.
I want to pause it because a little bit more left in this video.
That's where I think the cop overstepped.
He just threatened him with arrest for not providing ID do you think the cop is right in this moment?
Speaker 3I'm just looking at Ohai the basis of what I know.
Ohio's shall I d law?
And I'm I don't know what's in their head.
If they're in their head, they're like, yeah, they're doing this.
I think they're dealing.
Speaker 1Doesn't it really based on what's in the cops head.
Speaker 3Yeah, based on the totality circumstances, what they observed, the comments of the radio call everything.
Speaker 1But the A in raz is articulable.
Can you articulate a reasonable suspicion.
Speaker 3I could, but I don't know if I don't know if they can, right, you do.
Speaker 1You think do you think in California you'd have enough to idea these guys in California.
Speaker 3This is how it works in California.
Let's say I resuspicion, I'd detained them, I'd moved them to this side, say hey, what's your name that I we're not giving IDA?
I'm like, okay, well, then if you're not gonna give me your ID, I have to take you back to the station.
What fingerprint you?
Six hours?
Six hours later, I'm gonna find out.
Speaker 1Who you are.
Speaker 3And there's no charge for it.
There's no in California.
You can't be arrested for like obstruction for But.
Speaker 1You think these you think you think in California these guys have enough suspicion to give you the right to demand ID under thread of arrest.
Speaker 3I couldn't do it.
It's not California law to demand ID.
Okay, that's okay, yeah, all right, there's some states they can demand it.
Speaker 1And well you said if I if I, if I refuse I ID, you would just take me back.
Speaker 3To this that's not arrest.
That's just a very long detention.
There's no extra charge for not giving your information.
Speaker 1And force me to identify myself.
And I haven't committed a crime.
Speaker 3If I believe suspicion that you may have, and you're not giving me your information so I can figure out who you are.
Speaker 1Handcuffs.
Speaker 3Yeah, I have to handcuff you to take you in the jail.
Speaker 1Wow.
Yeah, I hate that.
I hate everything about that.
What are your thoughts?
Am I out of line here?
Jeremiah?
Speaker 2You know, I'm a guy with not too guilty of a conscience.
So if a cop asks for I D, I don't really care, bro hashtag I don't.
I just don't.
If you if you need to see my ID, I've got a clean record.
This is me speaking maybe with white privilege.
Sure, sure, sure, but I'm just saying, like you're asking me directly my opinion.
If I was folding laundry in the back of a car of a parking lot and somebody called it in and the cop wanted to see my i D, I'd give them my ID.
I wouldn't care.
Speaker 1I would not.
That's interesting.
Speaker 3Okay, you'd probably be good on this because you don't have guns and dope and everything in there.
Yeah, i'd be I'd win, Yeah, you would win, I'd win.
Speaker 1Yeah, extensively.
Speaker 6Do you think we want to be out here talking to you guys because you're out here folding clothes?
Okay, No we don't.
We got better things to do.
Speaker 1So it's doom.
Speaker 9Then information we leave.
That's it.
Speaker 6This is making this much more than what it has to me.
Speaker 7Now, you're elevating my suspicion that you got some reason, James Mo.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, all right, So tell everybody what actually happens here.
I know you watched the video, So.
Speaker 3These officers are a lot more patients than I did.
Long story shorts.
They finally figure out who these guys are.
The guy with the without the ball cap, he admits that he has a warrant for the rest and he didn't want to go back, and he tells this long story how like he was in a car with some woman that he was had a relationship with and she bolted out of the car and left him with her dope.
And he's like, I just don't want to go back to jail for something I did and hate when that happens.
Yeah, and the other guy he started getting really sweaty.
He's like I need to lay down, and probably swallowed some dope on there.
And long story short after that, they had the warrant and these guys they searched the car.
There's a bunch of I think three or four guns in there, fear stolen.
Interesting their tactics I didn't like, because if you if you angle your tactics right to show, Okay, I think there's more than meets the eye.
If I thought, because walking up, I'm like, okay, comments to the call, all that looking in the bag, looking around, doing all the things.
Okay, I'm gonna put them like twenty feet away from that car right and be like, hey, this is why I'm detaining you.
I think you guys are dealing dope, breaking into this car whatever it is right that way.
They know at that point some cops like to keep their cars close and play it like really cool.
I don't know if they were not, if they were like, oh yeah, these guys are just folding closed.
We don't got anything here, and give me your ID.
Then you're crossing the threshold there.
Yeah, it's none of my none of your business.
Speaker 1I got a warrant.
Speaker 3The comments on that on YouTube are great, by the way, Yeah, I read the comments.
Speaker 1Good.
Did you see my comment?
Speaker 3No, I didn't see her.
Speaker 1Oh I put a comment in there that said, these cops are one h percent lying in the first few minutes.
Speaker 3But oh they were lying like, yeah, we're just falling closed.
Yeah, sure, we just need information.
Speaker 1Everybody was lying.
Speaker 3Yeah, everybody's all right.
Speaker 1I got one more video that I want to show you, And it comes down to this idea of when you have to show ID to the cops.
There's this idea that you know, you don't have to show ID in most places unless you've committed a crime, or you are suspected of committed a crime or suspected of committing a crime, or they think you're about to commit a crime, and there's reasonable, articulate suspicion.
Right, So, but we run into these situations where someone shows up at a place and then they're kicked off the property as a trespass.
They haven't technically committed a crime yet because they're leaving.
But then the cops are like, give me your ID so I can fill out this form, this this trespassed form, I can give you a warning.
Then the person refuses to ID because they haven't committed a crime, and then there's this whole fight they get tackled or whatever.
So I want to play a video of that for you and get your responses to exactly when we have to iden when the situation like that happens.
And but before we do that, I know Jeremiah has to get going and I really just need you for this one anyway.
So we're gonna say goodbye to Jeremiah, and then I'm gonna show you this video, and then you and I are going to handle this conversation in the extended version of the show, and for y'all out there listening, that is at Patreon dot com slash David C.
Speaker 3Smalley.
Speaker 1That's where we're gonna be wrapping this up.
And then as he leaves, I'll get you guys to swap chairs, if that's cool.
Jeremiah, thank you so much for coming today.
I appreciate you.
Speaker 2Man.
Speaker 1Take care and keep the funnies coming.
Speaker 2Thank you so much for having all right, man, I appreciate it.
Take care, man, alr, guys, thanks so much.
Speaker 1Later, man, take care.
All right, let's do this last video.
