Cops are arrogant and their egos just won't let them see what's right in front of them sometimes. They do dumb shite because of it. They won't stop to think why someone is smiling all the way back to the jail cell until they get hammered and the police captain and the chief are tearing them several new ones.
The LEO's in this situation should have been smart enough to take heed from a LAWYER. Instead, they decide to talk themselves into a lawsuit. LEO's are so stupid.
The female lawyer is like “I really don’t want to be arrested but he is getting arrested so I guess I will too but I hate it” 😂 she is so stressed and he is just grinning.
I can’t believe she just just sat there freaking out in her mind instead of defending herself and arguing the law with the dumbass cops. She must have just graduated just can tell from her body language she is freaking out and doesn’t want to be arrested. If it wasn’t for her boss she probably would have handed over the phone even though she knew it was an illegal search just to avoid being booked in. Good on the dude though he knew the law and knew he was right and could get either a lawsuit or free publicity out of this(which he did) all for about 1-2 hours it took to be booked and bailed out.
@@bertmaclen6585trying to argue the law with a cop is a fools errand. They usually don't understand the law that well and their authority on the street is near absolute. The only way to actually argue the law is in court after the fact.
The cop was just the deliverer of bad news. The woman in the hideous dress directly instructed the cop to arrest, even after the cop directly questioner her. SHE is in doodoo up to her dark roots.
He also knew the phones would be excluded from prosecutors evidence. The cop also told him, we have video that proves you didn’t do what we’re arresting you for.

@@GregoryFariss This case went to trial right? The Prosecutor knew that the moment they arrested the lawyer and his assistant to obtain the phone without a warrant, any evidence found on the phone cannot be submitted as evident against the defendant. If the prosecutor knows she is in the wrong, why fight it instead of settling it out of court? One thing I notice about law enforcement is that they hate anything being on record. This case will follow her for the rest of her career.
@@amdidextrous that's not how it works. That was the Na zees excuse in WWII: "We were only acting under orders" isn't a valid / legal excuse. The Oath entails that we follow the LAWFUL Orders of those appointed over us.

Ender Fal, It wouldn’t have mattered. They had already gone too far by placing cuffs on the lawyer and his assistant. The two deputies literally reached the point of no return once that was done. Mr. Ravel was just trying to make sure that there was no confusion of what was happening or any incidental miscarriage of justice. Plus it was all caught on video so there was no way the district attorneys could refute the evidence of not following due process.
Those lawyers tried so hard, even knowing that they'd get a payday out of this arrest, they tried so hard to give the deputies a chance to not make the mistake.
IDK - the cops had the District Attorney on the phone and she was telling them that the Defence Lawyers had no right to not hand over the phone. No cop should be expected to back off when the DA is there telling them to go for it. The cops were doing their job with the best info given to them.
@@JeremiahDouglas *** no no you can't say this was ignorance of the law by those two cops. They went back and explained the situation to the DA and were told the warrant was still good and the lawyers were in the wrong. They asked and got an expert's advise.

He really did try. More than once. He even hinted to them as to how to get the phones legally. Those deputies were getting bad advice over the airwaves.
Even told them it was an unlawful arrest, but I guess since the police don't have to pay for lawsuits out of their own pockets, they don't care if they waste taxpayer money.
That and making sure that it's absolutely clear the officer intended to do what he did. I'm sure the immediate response from his law firm was a suit against the police department and the city.
@@mayssm Now if they started to take the settlements out of the police pension programme instead of the city paying they might think about this sort of thig twice before acting illegally (because they won't be very popular in the office..
Yes, the attorney did exactly what he needed to do. But had he handed over the property in the absence of a proper warrant, he could have been disbarred. That said, the attitude that he maintained is what makes him stand out so much. He not only did the right thing, he never lost his cool.
Not just kidnapping, but abuse of authority, that when combined should result in a sentence of no less than life without parole. Heck, we should do that to all officers who put so much as a single toe out of line.
Hell, I’d take SOME punishment over the current state of affairs. Cops getting their just due is so rare we’re forced to “applaud” departments and prosecutors who show “bravery” and charge criminal cops for criminal activity. Knowingly arresting people under false pretenses is criminal activity and should be dealt with accordingly… not handled as though the government is going above and beyond, but merely “doing their f*cking jobs” by punishing bad actors looking to cause harm to others.
I knew it was a great thing as soon as he broke out in huge smiles....they stepped right into it. My landlord broke fair housing law, when he served me with the 3 day notice I BEAMED, he was so confused..LOL. He paid for my acre and house in the country...THAT is why I was beaming like the sun....I knew the law, and he stepped right into it.
If this is the first offence for the officers, maybe they need to get probation. The DA, on the other hand, is an attorney and should be charged and be made to answer to the state bar.
As clearly stated by Mr Revel, the deputy is acting under the orders of the DA. Thus they are to some extent exonerated from guilt. The DA on the other hand should have the book thrown at her.
I really hope the DA loses their job. I have seen prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and DA's overstep their authority so many times they need to be held accountable. When I was younger and dumber I myself have been victim to this. I was held for months with no arraignment, no bail, and never saw a court room of any kind until I served a month and 3 weeks longer then the time served for the crime if I was guilty. When I did go to court I saw my public pretender for the first time ever that I never asked for by the way tell me that my time was served a month and a half ago and I should plead guilty so I could go home. I said no I would rather have a bond so I can fight this. Her response was "We are only taking plea bargains today and the docket is full, If you want a bond hearing it will have to be during next rotation in 3-6 months" That means if I plead not guilty I would have to sit in jail with no bond for another 3- 6 months. Or I could plead guilty and go home today. The reason they did this was because I was only guilty of one of the charges and they wanted to stick me with 2 on one that I had nothing to do with, I can only assume to close cold case files. The jail has been described by ICE agents as "worse then they have seen in Mexico" in Tennessee. After traumatic jail experience of course I plead guilty. When I got out I pretty much gave up on life and just fell heavier into addiction and got a DUI years later but eventually when I was 29 someone took a chance on giving me chance and I went back to school to make something of myself. Point is our justice system violates our rights every day and someone needs to hold them accountable.
@@Morristown337 was this in clarksville by any chance? i lived there for a long time, and the "new jail" was actually supposed to be a federal prison, but they built the cells too small for the federal standard and it became the county jail.

So much respect for him! Dude is a legal legend now because his reputation boomed after this. He is now a VERY high-paid attorney because he clients are coming to him knowing that he is willing to protect your rights by any means necessary and that he won’t back down to corrupt bureaucrats.
I love how he trolls them; he's getting them to admit, ON CAMERA, that they are illegally arresting him for not obeying an illegal order and for NOT breaking the law. I love it.
And none of them realize it... He is spelling it out for them, pointing out how wrong they are slowly and clearly and calmly, ON CAMERA... And they are sooooo committed to the Power and not being told No by him, that they don't even realize he is give them chances, pointing it's foolishness, and digging their own graves
Most patrol officers have low IQs . (Shouldn’t Have to say that ,every driver knows that) courts know that most drivers would rather pay the ticket then to get involved in the BS of the local laws.
I like how he gets the deputy to acknowledge on camera that he served the search warrant after they exchanged the phone. He really is working to set up his case while he's being arrested.
@@austen9556 You do. If you are not properly mirandized while being 'arrested', then anything you say will *not* be applicable in court, and the arrest can be thrown out entirely.

Well I have seen Lawyers arrested while smiling and its already been years since the arrest and nothing ever happened. I feel this is an intimidation tactic on part of the lawyer. He has no ground here.
I feel like that guy wanted to hug that lady and be like "it's ok, its ok.. we're lawyers, they're just cops." Did you know cops don't have to know all the laws? It's like a driving test. They pick a few random questions, and you just need to get most of them right.
@@carlosdelgatito2039 no one can possibly know ALL the laws. Truck drivers don't know all the regulations either. we carry a reference guide that we refer to. cops aren't universal. officers are assigned. Do based on their assignment they should refer to their guides. But at times the closest officer is put on a task. it's like as an active marine, my m.o.s. was diesel mechanic. But wheb deployed I have been a cook, supply officer and a gunner. some tasks are universal enough while some require constant reminders of what's within regulations. I'm not excusing bad officers, but just clarifying the idea that people think each and every officer will remember or know ALL the many laws and it's amendments. Thsts impossible.
I like how Mr. Revell is like, "now are you sure you want to do this? You do know what you're doing is unlawful, right?" He showed that he knew exactly who would win the case before the arrest even happened.
It's the law. He read the search warrant and it was clear. Search only the person and vehicle of the guy..........That's it! Not big black guy or little white chick.
I loved the big smile, the phrase, "this is DEFINITELY an unlawful arrest", and the hands extending forwards so they could put cuffs on him. A class act.
The lawyer here got a bit lucky. It was a mistake for him to freely admit that the phones had been given to he and the other lawyer and were currently on their person. Had they known what they were doing, the cops could have used that to legally detain them and call in for a warrant on the attorneys. He should have just kept quite about it entirely since the original warrant didn't apply to him. I think his inner smart-ass wanting to play with the officers overrode his logical side a bit there...can't really blame him much though as those cops weren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed.
@@possumverde He knew what he was doing because he already knew that the there's no evidence for the prosecutor on the phones so he just wanted to be a smartass lmao

He can afford bond or even bail, and he is certain to get monetary benefit from being involved in a lawsuit, unlike most of us. Some people spend weeks or even months awaking a trial while in jail, just to be found innocent.
@@sethgaston8347I get your point fully. I don't want to say here, how many times I've been arrested and charged with crimes, but more than enough to have all kinds of unbelievable experiences. I've only ever been convicted by trial once and plea once. I get what you're saying about being stuck in jail when you've done nothing wrong. But if you fight it there, you're going to sit in jail even longer and possibly end up with a resisting charge or worse. They love harassing anyone who they think doesn't have enough money fight them, and who they expect to try to fight them in the streets.

Terry searches are not legally enforceable unless the officer a reasonable articulable suspicion that someone is armed and dangerous. Otherwise, it is 1. voluntary on the part of the searchee, or 2. illegal on the part of the police officer.
@Charles Hall No, you are correct. Beyond that point, though, even he just stopped him on the street, he has no legal right to Terry search him unless he can articulate exactly why he has reasonable suspicion that the guy is armed and dangerous. That's the law for Terry searches. AtA posted addressed it and showed the text in another video.

@@satouhikou1103 I mean.... he didn’t say anything negative about him in regards to him being black, did he? Sorta just pointed it out, without any sort of connotation.
I've watched about the corrupt sheriff video. So, upon serving the warrant, meaning before the warrant has been handed to you, they may only search you. In this case, since the subject has handed the phone to his attorney BEFORE he was shown the warrant, they can only search the subject for the phone regardless of if there's video or not as the officer suggest. It's a bit of a loophole because when the warrant was served, technically, his phone wasn't on him anymore. On the sheriff video, the phone is on the sheriff when the warrant was served, then he gave it to his undersheriff. Since the phone was with him' when the warrant was served, they were allowed to get the phone from the under sheriff.
He’s right though. Cops have been given qualified immunity which is akin to diplomatic immunity. They have been illegally and unconstitutionally given rights above the people. We the people have let them get to this point. It’s absolutely abhorrent how dumb we are and how they have completely hijacked our brains over the last few decades.

She "retired" within a few months after the incident. She bailed from the force after realizing she fucked up and that this might swing back on her, lol.
Worse, after the false arrest, the DA was dumb enough to double down and still take it to trial. The judge should have ripped the DA a new arsehole for even trying and the bar association should be looking into suspending their licence.
It’s insane that Mr. Edwards, regardless of his guilt, is still under indictment. If the police unlawfully arrest your lawyers at the behest of the DA, due process has been brazenly destroyed.
Undoubtedly so. An interesting case of conflict of interest as well. A DA (could have) power over a witness because she can control an outcome of that witnesses own trial.

The lawyer asking "are we being detained" is always the best move you can make in ambigious situations like this, it's never in your interests to stick around while police try to figure things out. Unless you have something to say to get the police to do something, it's never in your interests to be talking to them. Always try to leave if you're allowed to.

Update: Win for the lawyers⚖️ the courts ruled qualified immunity did not extend 👉 After Garcia and Revill were tried and acquitted for the state-law crimes of obstructing governmental operations and refusal to permit an inspection, they filed this federal lawsuit. Garcia and Revill sued Deputies Ashworth and Ratliff, DA Casey, and ADA Gilliland for unlawful arrest. They also sued Casey and Gilliland for defamation. On cross motions for summary judgment, the district court entered judgment against Deputies Ashworth and Ratliff and denied DA Casey and ADA Gilliland's motion for summary judgment on the false arrest claim. The district court also denied the district attorneys’ motion for summary judgment on Garcia and Revill's defamation claims, concluding that the district attorneys were not entitled to state-agent immunity under Alabama law.
Lawyer: do I get that one free phone call? Officer: yeah? Lawyer: calls wife, " I'm going to be late getting home, some unexpected income handcuffed me."
No, that’s the problem, they didn’t know and they should have. The woman that ordered the arrest was a Deputy district attorney, a line prosecutor. She really should have known, and her boss (or whomever she called) should have known. The cop should have known, too, but the DDA *really really really* should have known. If the cop showed some doubt or sheepishness, it’s likely he knew who Mr. Revill was: a high power defense and civil rights attorney in that state. Go look at Revill’s CV on his law firm’s website if you don’t believe me.
when a lawyer explains the document language to you then agrees to be detained/arrested and asks you "are you sure you want to do this" as he calmly smiles at you... I would start worrying and realize I've just done f'ed up big.
It's so beattifully done. He doesn't say it out of courtesy but pure genius. The fact that he gave them the chance to not go through eith the arrest and the fact that he asked them all those questions (he asked the sheriff if he agreed the phones were handed over before the warrant) made it so they couldn't dismiss his lawsuit for malicious prosecution and unlawful detainment. Absolutely beautiful.
it wasn't in this video but an officer cam to monitor the situation and after hearing what was going on he said "i'm just standing here on the sidewalk the other guy is the arresting officer." then the new officer and mr.Revill smile and laugh with each other over the hole these two dug for themselves.

@@TRivera13 I feel like the very first thing he would have thought about is how they’re about to have strong ammo for their upcoming case. The other stuff likely came soon after.
@@GregoryFariss This case went to trial right? The Prosecutor knew that the moment they arrested the lawyer and his assistant to obtain the phone without a warrant, any evidence found on the phone cannot be submitted as evident against the defendant. If the prosecutor knows she is in the wrong, why fight it instead of settling it out of court? One thing I notice about law enforcement is that they hate anything being on record. This case will follow her for the rest of her career.
After the attorney asked "so your arresting us on her orders" i swear I could hear him calculating how much he was going to sue for in his head.
They did not bother with suits against the poor deputies, but will go for the county's deep pockets by pursuing a trial judgement against the DAs.

Big ole smile with the " You're sure you want to do this?" With a slight chuckle at the end. Ya, you should have cut your losses then.
Ender Fal, It wouldn’t have mattered. They had already gone too far by placing cuffs on the lawyer and his assistant. The two deputies literally reached the point of no return once that was done. Mr. Ravel was just trying to make sure that there was no confusion of what was happening or any incidental miscarriage of justice. Plus it was all caught on video so there was no way the district attorneys could refute the evidence of not following due process.
Those lawyers tried so hard, even knowing that they'd get a payday out of this arrest, they tried so hard to give the deputies a chance to not make the mistake.
well it's years of paper work that he didn't want to do sooo he gave him every out he could.
IDK - the cops had the District Attorney on the phone and she was telling them that the Defence Lawyers had no right to not hand over the phone.

The saddest part in all of this, was that the lawyer was trying to give the police officer a chance to not screw himself over.
He really did try.
More than once.
He even hinted to them as to how to get the phones legally.
Those deputies were getting bad advice over the airwaves.
Even told them it was an unlawful arrest, but I guess since the police don't have to pay for lawsuits out of their own pockets, they don't care if they waste taxpayer money.
Damn stupid fucks! 😂 Arresting a Lawyer👎
That and making sure that it's absolutely clear the officer intended to do what he did. I'm sure the immediate response from his law firm was a suit against the police department and the city.

That attorney's fees have most likely gone up after showing what he will go to jail to protect a client.
He a real one
Ohio need strong Constitutional Lawyers.
Yes, the attorney did exactly what he needed to do. But had he handed over the property in the absence of a proper warrant, he could have been disbarred. That said, the attitude that he maintained is what makes him stand out so much. He not only did the right thing, he never lost his cool.
False arrests should be punishable as kidnapping.
In Australia, there are circumstances where they can be sued for the tort of false imprisonment.
False arrests (and while we're at it, false accusations) should cause the perpetrator to be on the hook for whatever crime they alleged the other did.
Not just kidnapping, but abuse of authority, that when combined should result in a sentence of no less than life without parole.
Heck, we should do that to all officers who put so much as a single toe out of line.
Hell, I’d take SOME punishment over the current state of affairs. Cops getting their just due is so rare we’re forced to “applaud” departments and prosecutors who show “bravery” and charge criminal cops for criminal activity. Knowingly arresting people under false pretenses is criminal activity and should be dealt with accordingly… not handled as though the government is going above and beyond, but merely “doing their f*cking jobs” by punishing bad actors looking to cause harm to others.
@@verxintRising thats dumb

The 2 committing the false arrest should serve jail time. There needs to be punishment for this level of abuse.
Don't leave out the DA, She told the cops to arrest them. She's an attorney, you would think she knows the law!
If this is the first offence for the officers, maybe they need to get probation. The DA, on the other hand, is an attorney and should be charged and be made to answer to the state bar.
As clearly stated by Mr Revel, the deputy is acting under the orders of the DA. Thus they are to some extent exonerated from guilt. The DA on the other hand should have the book thrown at her.
@@BeyondOrdinaryactually no. Under law, There is no obligation to follow unlawful orders.

They will face no consequences, the taxpayer is on the hook for their abuses.
I really hope the DA loses their job. I have seen prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and DA's overstep their authority so many times they need to be held accountable. When I was younger and dumber I myself have been victim to this. I was held for months with no arraignment, no bail, and never saw a court room of any kind until I served a month and 3 weeks longer then the time served for the crime if I was guilty. When I did go to court I saw my public pretender for the first time ever that I never asked for by the way tell me that my time was served a month and a half ago and I should plead guilty so I could go home. I said no I would rather have a bond so I can fight this. Her response was "We are only taking plea bargains today and the docket is full, If you want a bond hearing it will have to be during next rotation in 3-6 months" That means if I plead not guilty I would have to sit in jail with no bond for another 3- 6 months. Or I could plead guilty and go home today. The reason they did this was because I was only guilty of one of the charges and they wanted to stick me with 2 on one that I had nothing to do with, I can only assume to close cold case files. The jail has been described by ICE agents as "worse then they have seen in Mexico" in Tennessee. After traumatic jail experience of course I plead guilty. When I got out I pretty much gave up on life and just fell heavier into addiction and got a DUI years later but eventually when I was 29 someone took a chance on giving me chance and I went back to school to make something of myself. Point is our justice system violates our rights every day and someone needs to hold them accountable.

I've watched about the corrupt sheriff video. So, upon serving the warrant, meaning before the warrant has been handed to you, they may only search you. In this case, since the subject has handed the phone to his attorney BEFORE he was shown the warrant, they can only search the subject for the phone regardless of if there's video or not as the officer suggest.
It's a bit of a loophole because when the warrant was served, technically, his phone wasn't on him anymore. On the sheriff video, the phone is on the sheriff when the warrant was served, then he gave it to his undersheriff. Since the phone was with him' when the warrant was served, they were allowed to get the phone from the under sheriff.

@@thatdamncrow9197 No. Yes always. 100% of the time. A professional will account for Bias when working a case. Bias is something to be avoided at all costs when dealing with law. It blinds you to facts and solutions that an objective observer would otherwise see.
Lawyers who try their own cases and waive legal counsel are basically saying they're above bias and can overcome subjectivity. This is foolish. Which is why any Lawyer worth their salt will ALWAYS get secondary legal counsel. Even if the case in question is in the field they specialize in.
Think "two heads are better than one". A second, unbiased, and objective opinion is critical to success in law and medicine. This is why Lawyers have lawyers, and doctors have doctors.

This is a very slippery slope when they start arresting defense attorneys to get what they want.
Yeah, I have NO USE, for "1A auditors"; they're a bunch of rude, arrogant bastards, but when the cops are WRONG, they're WRONG AS SHIT.
Worse, after the false arrest, the DA was dumb enough to double down and still take it to trial. The judge should have ripped the DA a new arsehole for even trying and the bar association should be looking into suspending their licence.
Not the first instance I have seen of police arresting attorneys.

It’s insane that Mr. Edwards, regardless of his guilt, is still under indictment. If the police unlawfully arrest your lawyers at the behest of the DA, due process has been brazenly destroyed.
Undoubtedly so.
An interesting case of conflict of interest as well. A DA (could have) power over a witness because she can control an outcome of that witnesses own trial.
They probably let him get another lawyer.

"In summary, we do not decide whether hiding evidence violates the Alabama obstruction statute or whether the defendants had actual probable cause under that statute. We are confident that, even if the defendants did not have probable cause, their error did not violate clearly established law, entitling them to qualified immunity."

Any time an attorney says "are you sure this is what you want to do?" You need to stop and think really hard about what you're about to do. I've learned that this applies if an engineer says it as well. Listen to the professionals that know more than you.

The lawyer asking "are we being detained" is always the best move you can make in ambigious situations like this, it's never in your interests to stick around while police try to figure things out. Unless you have something to say to get the police to do something, it's never in your interests to be talking to them. Always try to leave if you're allowed to.

Update: Win for the lawyers⚖️ the courts ruled qualified immunity did not extend 👉 After Garcia and Revill were tried and acquitted for the state-law crimes of obstructing governmental operations and refusal to permit an inspection, they filed this federal lawsuit. Garcia and Revill sued Deputies Ashworth and Ratliff, DA Casey, and ADA Gilliland for unlawful arrest. They also sued Casey and Gilliland for defamation. On cross motions for summary judgment, the district court entered judgment against Deputies Ashworth and Ratliff and denied DA Casey and ADA Gilliland's motion for summary judgment on the false arrest claim. The district court also denied the district attorneys’ motion for summary judgment on Garcia and Revill's defamation claims, concluding that the district attorneys were not entitled to state-agent immunity under Alabama law.

No, that’s the problem, they didn’t know and they should have. The woman that ordered the arrest was a Deputy district attorney, a line prosecutor. She really should have known, and her boss (or whomever she called) should have known. The cop should have known, too, but the DDA *really really really* should have known. If the cop showed some doubt or sheepishness, it’s likely he knew who Mr. Revill was: a high power defense and civil rights attorney in that state. Go look at Revill’s CV on his law firm’s website if you don’t believe me.

The fact that he gave them the chance to not go through eith the arrest and the fact that he asked them all those questions (he asked the sheriff if he agreed the phones were handed over before the warrant) made it so they couldn't dismiss his lawsuit for malicious prosecution and unlawful detainment. Absolutely beautiful.
