- UNDER THE INFLUENCE: A city cop dismisses a judge's husband's DUI charge days after a pair of Marlboro County judges question cops over the traffic stop and arrest. The chief asked SLED to open a misconduct investigation.
SLED did, but decided nothing happened after interviewing only one of the 10 people involved in this case. SLED Chief Mark Keel called his agents' work a "thorough investigation."
South Carolina needs to deal with this corruption.
America needs to deal with police and judicial corruption!
It’s happening in every county across the United States.
We the people are the only ones who can stop it..
Along with Canada...
Lmao Canada doesn’t have a corruption issue. We have an incompetence issue.
Lol! It will only happen when We the People exercise OUR Second Amendment right the way it was intended.
SLED chief should have been fired immediately after his illegal hemp farm theft
He gets his police pension AND his SLED salary, the Governor allowed it.
@@williamsmith6235southern governors tend to act like that.
Had this been a "normal" person, this case would have gone infront of a judge. Even if it's true that they didn't explicitly ask to drop the charges, I'm sure the message was loud and clear.
So loud and clear I heard it here in Baltimore, Maryland 😂
So so true
A good lawyer would have ate this up they allowed him to drive over 5 miles before stopping him didn’t mirandize him before giving him field sobriety they didn’t have body cam or dash cam footage nor a speedometer reading because the cop didn’t have one it was a illegal stop
@@jrich972 Dash and body cam are not required for an arrest, nor is mirandizing him or a speedometer reading
Jody Barr should be doing this kind of investigative reporting at the national level.
And investigate the 2020 stolen election!
The problem is that the media gate keepers don't want corruption exposed on a national level unless it implicates the 'right' people. Jody Barr is able to do what he does bc he doesnt go after people high up on the chain nationally. Look at what is being done to a billionaire ex president of the United States. Do you think any journalist or normal person would have a chance against the national system of corruption.
Yeah, I agree...but there's enough corruption in SC to keep 10 of him busy for a lifetime! Just what has happened to me & what I've witnessed is an outrageous amount of evil that its almost unbelievable!! I changed locations & never leave my house from the severe PTSD their abuse caused.
Do Trump next!
Sadly, investigative reporting does not exist at the national level.
We know the SLED chief is not trustworthy because of his actions in the hemp farm scandal ! Cmon Jody !
Oh I agree with you 100%
Word!
100%
At least he is trying to expose it! What have you done? I think Jody Barr and Dave Biscobing are doing great work as investigative journalists.
@jodi. I agree, I can’t believe Jody, a real journalist, defends those 1st amendment auditor creeps that accomplish nothing except enriching themselves with TH-cam revenue.
Jody’s one of the best journalists I’ve seen.
There’s your 10 tier justice system… depending on who you know and how much money you have in your account.
Amen. Rules for me but not for thee. Eventually, the levee breaks
How the FBI isn't investigating the entire states LEO's is beyond me.....
They are on the same government team, that's why.
Bingo
Lol, the FBI? You gotta be kidding, right? Like having the fox guard the henhouse while the owner takes a day off...
It’s almost like they’re corrupt too?🤔
Because the FBI is just corrupt
He ADMITTED TO DRINKING AND DRIVING.... You think We The People would be let go????
I hope no one is still remaining that would believe a single word that comes from Mark Keels mouth! He is a known LIAR, and Sled is just as bad due to following his example.
Institutions are corrupted at their highest levels. They’re self serving at our detriment. Not worth respecting.
That is why this whole Country is a mess. I am not political, but our leadership does not have our best interests in mind . A bed of corruption, greed and secrecy.
What are your going to do about it besides write a comment??
If nothing than you’re part of the problem.
@@jtjones4081
Just the fact that you replied shows that my effort to draw attention to SLED and Mr. Keel works. In your quest for the truth, make sure you look up the Trent Pendarvis, case, and the case (cant remember the guys name) that he died and a fake judge robbed the widow blind before the authorities even got there. Plenty of examples of the CORRUPTION of that Office!!
@@jtjones4081 What did you do about?
it says it very clear in the law: You cannot drive drunk UNLESS you are married to a judge...
The two tier justice system hard at work
This is how people lose faith in our government.
It’s been lost
I have faith in God not the government
Any time a black person becomes part of the judicial system I lose faith.
I don’t think you have a better example of the disconnect between the bureaucrats of our country and the citizens of our country. It’s rules for me, but none for the. These judges are just corrupt. Look at the judge from Oklahoma that was drinking and driving with her grandson!
lol. "It’s rules for me, but none for the." I think you got that backwards.
@@MountainMan7.62x39 The whole system is backwards ...
I got this reference.
for being oppressed and having no privilege all these government employees seem to have the system well in hand. abusing your authority seems to know NO COLOR BOUNDRIES !!
We need to stop paying taxes on a massive scale. That's how you effectively fund a revolution. Imagine we go on strike with local & state governments. Refusing to pay any money to them whatsoever for 6 months. They'd be screwed. They want to piggyback our incomes and expect us to adhere to local and state laws but, when they do it they pat one another on the backs and protect each other. It is BS.
Dirty judge. Shameful
shes such a narcissist she couldn't help herself on the phone
Crooked as a dog’s hind leg.
Crooked police because they allowed it. They could have charged the judge but instead agreed.
All of them are
White judges been doing dirty stuff for decades cut it out
B.S. the whole system is corrupt!
Guarantee you….this officer was THREATENED with his job if he did not drop the charges! Rank has its privileges…Legal and ILLEGAL!🤬🤬
At the very least, pressure on the police to let it “go” for some BS. A total circumvention of the legal/judicial process.
I love you Jody Barr, there's way too much public corruption in these small South Carolina Counties.
It's definitely Coast to Coast ... I follow this channel because of that and the work being done to expose that fact ... One place at a time 👍🏻
It happens everywhere in these small towns and counties. Cops and judges have way too much authority and very little oversight.
Wow what a bunch of corruption. Crooked as hell
Corruption all over the place.
Jody Barr is an excellent reporter and an even better investigator. Well done!
I never had a JUDGE FIX MY TICKET BEFORE I WENT TO COURT. WHAT A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE.Boy I wish I had that clout when I was 35 yrs old .
35?? 😳 do u mean 25..? Or 18?
I have. it cost me 5k though. Lawyer walked in and got it dropped right there. never went to court. cop friends have done it too.
Marc Keel is a real piece of work, and not in a good way! How can anyone trust anything he oversees or investigates?
Sadly, Jody Barr has rooted out Corruption again! But thankfully we've got Jody Barr looking at every aspect of every case and he has an unbiased Investigative technique for his journalism. He's not just good, he's not just great... He's incredible and we need thousands more like him 😁👍
At every level of the justice system, all the way to D.C.
Was this not the same SLED chief who was got a warrent from a second judge after a judge refused to issue a search warrent as it was unconstitutional. So they lied to the second judge and then destroyed crops illegally?
Yes it's the same lying ass corrupt sled chief!!
Yes the same SLED Chief.
So now to my point. This is directly the result of you all taking settlements even with your rights specifically covering this to self-protection and protection of rights. But Americans live by the COWARDS CREED MONEY NOT CHANGE. Don't cry about this if you are the product of your device's!
bunch of corrupt officials.
I have no faith in SLED. It's clear that the judges interfered. We can't call and complain when our loved ones get in trouble and get them set free. Why would the judges even put themselves in that position.
They don’t actually know the law because they were passed through law school for some reason?
Judge should have recused himself from case altogether. If a deputy/officer knows who they stop, know any of potential criminals family the deputy/officer/judge should recuse themselves.
That does not keep them from using their position to pressure involved officers and city attorney's to drop the charges, which was the actual issue at play here. Not how a judge heard it in court, because it never got there.
He is a fake judge “Judge Roy Bean” 😮😮😮😮
Have to come back to say, every single journalist should strive to be like Jody Barr. He’s by far the best out there that I’ve come across. Keep up the good work
I end up saying it on every video ... I live nowhere near North or South Carolina and I watch continually to remember what it might be like to have an actual investigative reporter looking into these things
Jody Barr....The Goat✌️💯✌️🇺🇸💯🇺🇸✌️ Hands down period!
Thank you ❤
Her husband should be charge as any public and no special or favors when you break the law
Corrupt to the core.....
Abolish qualified Immunity
You people constantly crying about qualified immunity, have no real understanding how and when it applies.
10:33 this officer is lying and making up bs reasons that the city cops had no jurisdiction to take over the arrest.
I think the arresting officer is lying about making mistakes. This is the thin blue line protecting each other.
If they weren't covering for each other, qualified immunity would not apply.
Qualified immunity doesn't apply to any cases of police violating people's Rights.
It only protect them under certain circumstances. Plus, qualified immunity is not a blanket immunity and does not automatically apply. It is up to a judge to decide if an officer/s is entitled to qualified immunity protection.
You're more upset about the cop's actions when you should be upset about the judge's actions and the corrupt political system that puts pressure on law enforcement. What I see are a bunch of corrupt entitled black judges.
@lennychorn147 they're more worried about a cop when it's the corrupt political system run by the judges that's the real problem. Cops in fear for their jobs by a family of corrupt judges who hide behind their race.
New mexico police do not have qualified immunity, and it works just fine. The issue is it's up to a judge who has direct relationships with police.
@lennychorn147 "it is up to a judge..." that is the problem in this case. The judges are being accused of being corrupt.
Shocker. They’re all corrupt.
A cozy little criminal enterprise.
Time to clean house, something I highly doubt will happen. It's no wonder people, in general, have lost faith in law enforcement from top to bottom.
The Chief needs to start cleaning!!
I think lady justice is peeking under her blindfold and has given up on the system
She may be blindfolded but she can still smell money.
Another fine example of our INJUSTICE system.
A picture is worth a thousand words !
You can see the disdain the last guy has for being asked questions he doesn't think he should have to answer.
And he is the Chief of SLED, he gets his SLED salary AND a police pension thanks to the Governor, but won't answer questions.
I grew up in a small town in South Carolina moved away from the state in my mid-20s.
I always knew my local police and sheriff's departments were totally corrupt, but I always thought SLED and the highway patrol were the good guys.
I started watching your reporting recently. While I find it very good, I love watching a good, scrappy, muckraking investigative journalist at work, I'm surprised at how disappointing it is to me to learn SLED and SCHP are dirty, too.
Keep after 'em Jody!
Great investigative reporting, these corrupt officials are so wrong!!
What a corrupt set of judges and police dept. The whole system is B.S. If this was anyone else they would never had dropped the charges.
What if this drunk driver kill someone would they blame the sober person?
Probably
Wonder if MADD, Mothers Against Drunk Driving is a thing in South Carolina?
Shame on you, Judge.
How does a cop drop charges? Only the DA and a judge can drop charges. This shows how screwed up the whole justice system is.
Supreme court ruled that you only have to mirandize someone if you plan on questioning the suspect.
Jody Barr, you Sir are a National Treasure. Thank you for this report, and all the other fantastic reporting you do. Chief Kiel at SLED is as useful as a raging case of hemorrhoids and you should be proud for uncovering his incompetence.
Anyone who holds a public office seat should be audited regularly
And they keep telling us, with words, how everyone is treated the same;. Yet their actions tell a much different story!
Excellent reporting 👏
Crooked cops, crooked judge.
I hate to say it, but it is the judges who are corrupted in this situation.
We have investigated ourselves and have found no wrong doing!
Amazing that they even gave interviews
We the People deserve better!!!!!!!
Jesus....The corruption really smells!
Criminal gang in action.
NO CONSEQUENCES for a DRINK Driver!!
No corruption at all Jody. Are there any honest cops or government officials left in this country?
Yes, just not in South Carolina
Hardly, the good ones get chased out by the corrupt ones.
Very, very, few.....
Nope. One in 100 cops, breaks the law, the other 99 know about it, they're all equally guilty.
Not in Eddyville ky either.
Excellent reporting, as usual. Keep it up. 👌🏼
Wasn't SLED chief indicted and had to personally pay farmer?????
certain people who claim there is privilege for certain people , they certainly take advantage of their privilege at EVERY chance.
And so do other certain people!! Don’t act like it’s only those people!!
Really? So because this judge got caught doing the EXACT same thing WHITE judges and politicians have been doing and are still doing for their families, (Biden, Trump), you racists can forget so quickly when someone black gets caught up. Wasn't it corrupt white JUDGES that enabled Alex Murdaugh? Certain People who claim there IS NOT privilege. LOL!
I promise you this happens wayyyyy more the other way that you speak of. Wrong is wrong period.
None of this passes the smell test
Why these police act, look and speak like criminals? Disgusting!!
Lying under oath is a crime...
Yet there are 3 Supreme Court judges who did that exact thing
You are truly top notch, Jody!!! 🎉🎉
God bless you and all your hard work. ❤
Corrupt judges and corrupt officials, this area has an insane amount of corruption
“We don’t ask you a lot of questions until we feel it’s absolutely necessary” ❤❤❤ love that reporter
Great reporting.. This is the only way to get these corrupted officials out of office. Hope someone up above takes notice.
Be careful in South Carolina Jody. SLED is known to get revenge when they’re made to look stupid
That's what you call privileged
The "integrity" of SLED on display for all to see.
I call “corruption”
As we’ve seen in the Alex Murdaugh case, SLED is not a role model for law enforcement or its procedures. The entire law enforcement needs to be fired and replaced with individuals with morals.
One intoxicated man caused all this trouble. Wow.
and two corrupt judges
NO, the Sheriff who discourages his officers from enforcing the law caused all this.
Just jaw-dropping levels of incompetence and corruption here. And calling the corruption 'systemic' is actually inadequate; it is clearly entrenched at a 'cultural' level, stretching across multiple agencies.
We all need to thank Chief Miller for looking into this. Seems he actually wants to stop corruption. Also nice to see him not wearing a uniform in his interview. Need more like him.
If it wasn’t for him this too would be hidden!!
This is what corruption looks like.
If this isn't corruption at the core, nothing is.
I'm watching from Mexico. I admire your work.
It isn’t up to cops to drop charges. That is the DA’s office.
Thank you and on top of that he didnt read his miranda rights you cant be that stupid. A killer can even get away based on that alone with lack of proper evidence as this cop pulled him over miles after he initially saw an issue the cop did stupid shit
@@alexanderamaye-ObuMiranda only has to be read if the arrestee is in custody and being questioned by the police. Unprovoked utterances that show guilt by the accused can still be used as evidence, even if Miranda rights are not read.
Forgot to mirandize the suspect??? You're Fired!!!
Exactly!!
They don't have to unless they question the suspect. Any spontaneous utterances made by the suspect can be used against them even if they were not read their rights.
Cop arrests sovereign judges , sovereign husband and the sovereign judge uses her sovereign power to get the charges dropped against her sovereign husband.
Jody Barr for President of the United States. Seriously. Vice President at least. Jody Barr is a fearless one-man wrecking-crew of investigative journalism. Hold them accountable Jody!
DOJ head
Just show us how the "Just-Us System" works. It's a big club, and you ain't in it.
Father / Daughter both work as judges ? Why ? How ? Did that happen ? This stinks .
Corruption!!!
No integrity
So he “kinda” ran into the judges father? They all stick up for each other. No morals or scruples.
Everyone that goes before her for this same charge should remind her that her husbands charges were dismissed 🥴 some of these judges think they're God.
Marlboro County sure has much corruption!!!!!
Did she say you're bothering her on her job? The story is about her job. Not even good deflection. Jody makes their hearts sank. Some politicians have gotten the message of how things go down when you show 😂
I NEVER heard of someone in the judicial department helping a family member with an arrest issue...But, I just was born before I wrote this comment...
The assistant chief should not do interviews. Wow what a genius.
No one is above the law. LMAO
That department is corrupt. Simple
He should be charged with drunk driving and the judges should be arrested for obstruction and removed from the bench
"The animals were all equal, but some were more equal than others." George Orwell 1984
The comfort they lie is frightening. A well polished craft.
Looks like the BPD Chief is the only one with clean hands
Exactly
How does the officer “drop the charge?” You can just not show up for court so there isn’t a witness.
Dirty
