No I don't think I will.
They're junk.
I've been following you for years. Until you took a personal break and had someone else help, you used to enlarge the text from the laws you were reading. I've asked several times if you could please do that. As a majority of us are on cellphones. Either you don't read comments or you don't care how your viewers feel. Either way, it's very disappointing. As a long-time subscriber, I'm not sorry to unfollow this page. Not that you care, if you did you would of helped your subscribers out by enlarging the text for them to read. 🤬
You support people like this lolololololol. Thas on you.
Any officer that mutes, turns off, or otherwise alters their body cam at anytime should be immediately charged with tampering with evidence.
A felony, I believe.
AND TERMINATED
@@edwardsargent1427 terminated, no administrative leave / Pay. Straight termination!
We'll start handing out felony's by the hundred thousands then cuz all cops tamper with evidence,they all shut their mics on an off all the time . If they didn't you could tell how big of criminals they are
Agreed
Update: As of July 21 2022 Denver city council approved a $100,000 payout to settle the lawsuit filed by Hill. None of the officers have been reprimanded to my knowledge, other than being told their language was inappropriate. I'm happy the kid got some money but it's frustrating to see the officers involved not being held accountable.
And it didn't cost them anything.
Keep on posting what happended after the lawsuit, and you will be the TOP replier. Good job 👍🏽👍🏽🤘
Possibly after the city budget forking out $100,000 these officers are receiving the message to shape up. But that rarely works.
100k is chump change! He deserves at least that per hour that he was wrongfully arrested and purposely denied medical care.
Those POS cops should be personally sued.
Like I said in an earlier quote these officers were not even reprimanded
This man was just in a car accident. Just the fact that they took him out of an ambulance and threw him into a cell for 24 hours, instead of allowing him to be fully evaluated at the scene, tells us everything we need to know about the priorities of these officers.
Having been in a high speed collision and survived. That maxn could have had a collapsed lung and died in that cell. They should have called the ambulance immediately. Crazy that this happened in Denver because my collision was in Colorado Springs.
Everyone that is arrested needs a medical and psychiatric evaluation before being placed in a cell. Law enforcement are not qualified to diagnose anybody
@@Dark_Tesla my first car accident, i was basically in shock for about 2 hours and did not realize that I had a huge bruise going across my abdomen from the seatbelt. Point being you can easily rupture something and not realize it. I used to live in colorado springs. Had ugly trees so I left.
And that he was featured in a past video of AtA is so sad
For further exposition, the officer called the Ambulance to be on the safe side,after I said my chest hurt, he was planning to drive me home after his initial investigation. Had I not said anything I would have died in my sleep, my airbag caused an internal collision that lead to the pneumothorax. So seeing these officers react like that really makes me upset know that anyone could have died like that.
Wow. That’s all I can really say about this. Just wow.
They clearly were saying, “If you claim you are injured, we will arrest you.”
AND THEN THEY DID
Yeah, no wonder he didn't want to say if he was.
F*cking disgraceful!
Seems like an open and shut case against the officer.
That was what they did too. He should have been fired for that.
Him saying he doesn't know if he's injured is beyond accurate. The adrenaline from being in a crash plus getting arrested by some dumb ass cops would most likely cover any pain. My dad had a friend that crashed into a tree going 60, got out of the car and started picking up pieces of his car. When he got to the hospital his neck hurt and they did an xray and his second and third vertebrae were broken. They had to fuse them to fix it. Man still can't see his own toes.
Exactly. He gave the best and honest response.
What was odd, he kept asking if HIS cops hurt him. Was there a portion not included where Mr. Hill stated that? Or are these cops known for injuring suspects?
@@piper998877 To be fair their phrasing was likely for a combination of reasons. The main one being that department policy revolving around injured people. The policy specified that the injuries had to be from the officers for it to apply. Also from a legal standpoint it probably is beneficial for them if they can get someone to say they weren't injured on camera. Are either of those factors morally/ethically okay? No. Are they actual factors at play here though? Probably
Very true. I was in a serious accident and could not believe that I wasn't badly injured. I assumed I was just in shock or something and went to the ER to get x-rayed. I also refused pain meds so that I'd be able to feel any injuries and get them checked when the shock wore off. As it happened, my car had deployed _several_ airbags and prevented me from breaking any bones. It took _hours_ before I actually started to feel the injuries I did have, which included serious bruises, pulled muscles, and numerous shards of glass embedded in my knuckles and fingers because the windshield had shattered so violently that it spalled off glass like shrapnel.
I refused medical care after mine and went about my day like nothing happened. It wasn't until the next day I knew something was off with me, I had a concussion. For a week, I thought everyday was Wednesday, the day of the accident
This upsets me.
As an EMS worker, unless the patient signed a refusal, they are mine, not the cops. If the cops want to arrest them, they can do so in my ambulance, and ride in the back of the rig with us on the way to the hospital. They should not have had him leave the ambulance. This behavior could have worsened an injury. I also work with some stand up cops in my area who know how to behave and treat people.
But yeah, this one is dicey for sure
100% correct
This. Thanks from humanity ❤
Ohhh shit, we got a badges over here
"some"
I was thinking the same thing! I’m an NYSEMT-B, the cops were out of line asking for the gentleman to even step out of the ambulance. He can talk in the rig.
Every single state and territory needs to get rid of "the odor of marijuana". It's an absolute joke. All it does is gives cops the right to step on our rights

So you think that we should allow people to drive high under the influence of marijuana just because the claim is abused from time to time.
He DID NOT APPROACH THE “OFFICER” AGGRESSIVELY!!! Please stop saying that!! He merely moved swiftly and SO WOULD I!!!😮😡
Agreed. He was in an accident and already felt violated. 1, at being hit be another car, 2, having his medical attention ceased to be spoken to by the cops, 3, he saw an officer violating his rights. I praise his ability to manage all of what's happening in front of him. This is unfortunate.
Normally i would agree, but the finger in face can be construed as an aggressive act. either way i don't blame dude i would have done the same...
Horseshit he got chest to chest waving a finger in his face but I do agree that the cop shouldn't have been in his car.
Cringe
@@origintrackz5235
Okay, so did they find Marijuana?
Why did they take the accounts given by the two white love-birds and not give Mr. Hill an opportunity to give his side of the story (considering it was he that made the initial call)?
On many of these videos that I have seen, the cops use the excuse that they 'got a call' to harrass perfectly innocent people. Why did they not afford that right to Mr. Hill?
It was clear that the Cop was warning him that if he didn't walk away and forget all about it they were going to arrest him, which is what they did.
I hope the good people of Colorado appreciate the cost that Corporal Bart Stark, Officer Thomas Ludwig and Officer Gary Yampolsky have added to their tax burden. (It looks like Broken Down Cowboys really do exist).
I watch videos like this and thank the Gods that I do not live in the Police States Of America (PSA). You can get shot dead for sleeping in your bed and nobody gives a hoot. I honestly wonder what the various Presidents must think when they see videos like this. "We the people" my arse.
"I detected the smell of marijuana." This is the biggest "hall pass" you can give to abusive law enforcement officers.
It's the highway in Denver. It smells like marijuana everywhere! There are massive processing buildings and dispensaries right off the highway. How ridiculous!
Illegally searched his car to smell MJ .....broke the law first and anything after that is inadmissible 😁
@@chrislezgus8592 I just visited Denver for the first time and that's a fact. The whole city has a smell of weed depending on the time of day
And when no weed proof has been found that rights have been violated.
Always the same crap, had that happen to me once, a few years ago at a stop, was the worst hour of my life and why didnt they search the other peoples car ? Because they are old and white. That's why people hate the cops racist f....tards, i feel with that guy, luckily i just had one encounter so far but he already had 2 bad enounters :( He will never ever trust cops again.
Body cams should NOT have a mute button. The officers who mute it should be charged.
From what I’ve been able to learn about this topic, the best police department practice is to disable the mute button on body cams. Despite departments instituting policies to restrict officers from using the mute button except when truly appropriate, the mute button is consistently abused by officers. So, again, based on everything I’ve found, the best practice is to disable the mute buttons on body cams.
@@alexwyatt2911 the companies designing the body cams, shouldn't equip them with a mute button.
@@mr.mr.4772 I’m not saying they should or shouldn’t. I’m sharing the information that I found.
Using the mute button I would hope a lawyer would ask the officer in court what was being hidden, just like when they do not want you to record, or record a search of a vechile. Vechile search without being able to record would immediately have me ask why I can not record the search, and what they are about to plant.... hopefully on theor body cameras as well as my own. Have them play that accusations in court and see how it plays put.
Not charged. Auto-convicted with mandatory minimum sentencing. 5-10 with zero possibility of parole
Just the fact that he said if your not injured by our officers we'll let you go should tell you everything you need to know
Yeah. He is going to win his lawsuit. I just wish the money was taken out of the police pension.

Let's be honest here. This is one of the most blatant cases of racial profiling I've ever seen. And I am one of the last people to cry foul over that kind of crap. F minus for all the police and a+ for the young student who repeatedly and clearly stood up for himself and articulated himself that any member of society let alone a police officer who is trained in these matters should be able to understand. I hope this young man goes on and graduates and I wish him the best. A master's degree is not easy at all and he's putting himself through that sort of rigor to better himself.
They're not cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo.
Agree
Well said! @@makeitallgaming8396
I don’t think racial profile is crap hopefully you understand that it is real and not some annoyance people cry out
@@Dasiah_Gaming You're correct. I meant there are many people who use racial profiling as the default response. If there is REAL racial profiling you will always see me calling it out. Just as I did in my initial response.
I like how it’s “menacing” to confront a cop violating your rights, but it’s perfectly normal for cops to aim their weapons at unarmed people.
the implications are vastly different. its all about the law. your comment is ignorant considering that you might be thinking of cops that broke the law, or ignoring the fact that police manner is based in the saftey of officers and everybody involved.
@@toastygaming7964 and that’s why they point guns at innocent people? so they (the people) are safe?
@@toastygaming7964 bootlicker
@@toastygaming7964 the implications are irrelevant, one is entirely justified while the other clearly isn't.
@@toastygaming7964 There is a recent case where police were looking for a black male and pulled their guns on a black female (in a well lighted interior area), who was not involved. The cops said that this was a learning experience for them. As the black female angrily replied, "a learning experience? This is my life!" I'm afraid that way to many cops seem to believe that "serve and protect" is not meant to encompass the public but only themselves ... plus a lot seem to literally be on power trips. (There is also a case where 2 cops arrived at a store, looking for a young white male in a brownish coat (shop lifter) and instead started questioning an older black male in an orange coat ... in a wwell lighted interior area of the store) .... I guess you might argue they were color blind?
The “cop” literally asked if you’re okay I’ll let you go. But he asked to go to the hospital instead and so took him to jail. Insane
And it was a totally reasonable statement! "I'm not sure if I'm okay, I need a doctor." Like if he had a head injury or adrenaline was numbing his senses, he wouldn't be able to tell
everyone realize to never ask a cop for help? Only good cop is a dead cop.
This is also a classic example of cops always "telling" and never listening or explaining.
The cop wanted a yes-or-no answer, didn't get either "yes" or "no", and took it as being belligerent, without even listening to his actual answer. If he had actually listened and tried to understand, then he could probably have clarified "I'm asking you this because I need to know if you are OK and if you need immediate medical treatment. It sounds to me like you are saying that you are not aware of any serious injuries at the moment, but it's possible there are other injuries you are not presently aware of, is that correct?"
Honestly, if the cop just thought about the other guy's position for a second it would be pretty obvious that right after an accident he can't be entirely sure what injuries he has, and that he obviously wouldn't want to say he didn't have any in case he actually did have some he didn't know about (for various legal reasons), and that all of that could be avoided and he could still get the information he needed if he just phrased the question a bit differently instead.
He was never going to just let him go without covering his misconduct, he was trying to get him to admit, on the record, that the officers didn't cause him any injuries, because he was just in a wreck and he most certainly will have injuries which could now be from either the car crash or worsened by the police manhandling. Since he was unwilling to let it go, it became more in that cop's interest to find an excuse to arrest him and let him be evaluated by a doctor that the department has influence over, rather than go to a public hospital where god knows how many medical personnel will witness and speculate on his injuries.
he is black....tho guys are sick...i moved out of that shitty racist country
Amazing how the combination of a badge, gun and qualified immunity can make someone so bold and brave.
How do I get ahold of this guy or some other youtuber. I really need help with my sheriff office. It's out of control

Luckily violations of constitutional rights are cause for qualified immunity to be revoked
And apparently utterly ignorant of the law.
@@dynamitefarm3029 if you have videos of them you can send them to the email in the description of the video
“We want you on tape absolving us of any responsibility for your injuries.”
Mr. Hill did an outstanding job handling that situation. Take the arrest and sue the hell out of them later.
Look how quickly they jump to antagonising him and escalating the situation. Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
They also tried to gaslight him by telling him he was uninjured and basically provided him with a quid pro quo by agreeing to release him if he claimed he was uninjured. Truly despicable.
@@jamescrumbaker3169 This is proof of their incompetence. On paper, chronologically, after he verbally refused them consent to search, an explanation of their right to would have been the end of the specific topic at hand. The officer who felt threatened was exposed by this; a reasonable officer wouldn't have been as stated by the narrator. Another point of incompetency: the civilian was just in an accident. Their mind isn't operating normally. This is not how you provide aid for which you were called to give. Another point: this particular group will waste tax dollars in the inefficient, incorrect way of escalating the situation to the point of jailing if their ego is hurt.
That was actually horrifying to see. This looked like an over the top dark parody of law enforcement.
But no. That's real. That happened to a real innocent person.
That was horrifying. That looks like an absolute nightmare.
If a cop says "we'll let you know in a second" it's because they don't know and they need to figure out what they can stick you with.
Gotta think about some crimes to pin, and it's difficult to think when your brain is as smooth as this officer's.
...while we trump something up.
They always tell me first, or I just don't answer questions. Don't ever let them take your rights, as they will if you let them. Assert your rights, ask for a supervisor if you have doubts, don't yell at them as this always draws aggressive responses, even in civilian interactions. They will tell you.
"he resisted when I threw over the hood of a hot car and attempted to handcuff him."
The fact that there’s enough police interactions like this to make a TH-cam channel means there’s a huge problem
1 million LEOs across the United States, if you give them the laughable 10 interactions per/shift (low ball here). If only 1% of all police act like this, its 10k misconduct per day.

I can not believe they said his probation officer is gonna love this...the nerve
There was no pot and there never was. They not only assumed he had it on sight with the brother but they also assumed he was on probation - which he was not. This was a illegal warrantless search and the cops were completely in the wrong here as they profiled the driver on sight!
Id sue for discrimination as well. Plus the cost of the hospital i went to after.
@@thesheq5023 even if he had pot, and (still no probation) denver PD have no legal right to arrest someone for having weed. Unless it is being smoked (or in the case of edibles eaten. Yes there's vapes but they don't smell) the cops can go right the fuck away from a car.
@@DeathProductions200 i agree- the only logical case i could see is them cataloging his car before it being towed for evidence in something related to the crash? Like if they had a case for drunk or high (there isn’t) then towing it waiting on a warrant or something. Technically it’s legal and not a search. A lot of places have a catalog as part of standard operating procedures. I don’t think they did this though, and honestly should have made contact before cataloging it… bad policing all around.
@@thesheq5023 thats true. Also not 5o mention, I was in that exact area before (i25 sucks, but is the fastest road a lot of times). That area smells of weed constantly, so it isnt even a good thing to be able to search a vehicle over anyway

For someone just in a car accident and seeing illegal searching of his car, Mr. Hill did an AMAZING job. That department should be ashamed to have those officers. I know I'm ashamed their in enforcement.
The physical and emotional trauma he may have just experienced plus an adrenaline boost, non of that was remotely taken into consideration. You can hear the distain for him in the officer's voice, and...you can tell from the tone (surprise) in the voice of the officer in his car....he was busted doing what he should not have been doing. They ALL knew this so the only out was to charge the victim. Pathetic!

Sounding intoxicated could be signs of a head injury. Slurred speech, confusion, incoherence, etc. The officer should have called for medical assistance or taken him to the ER immediately.
@@lindapakkala4153 i actually almost got charged with a DUI after a car accident. Cold stone sober, I hit my head and was actively bleeding out of a cut on the back of my head, but the CHP didn’t care. He wanted a DUI arrest.

I'm glad the paramedics stepped in for you. I hope there's no residual problems from your injury. Cops are just out of hand. They have no medical or psychological training whatsoever!!! And their egos, OMG. Sorry I can get on my soapbox very easily. God Bless.

If he was intoxicated from anything, wouldn’t the paramedic be more able to tell than the cop?
It’s nuts that they pulled him out of EMS to violate his rights. He clearly was getting checked out for medical reasons. Like
Demons need their blood. They were getting thirsty.
Crazy how if he just admitted that the cops didnt hurt him he can go home but since he said "i dont know" now he has commited a crime. 100% intimidation/threats and i hope his lawers bring this up

That’s a stupid take. If they could just “let him go” he shouldn’t have been in custody.
Mr Hill could have had internal bleeding from that crash. They could potentially have killed him by throwing him in jail for 24 hours. From there it goes to murder. This is awful. heart goes out to Mr Hill for a speedy recovery. Hope he can still keep his faith in humanity.
Murder requires intent - even in the unlikely event that the police did intend to kill him, you would find it just about impossible to prove - hence probably would be manslaughter.

@@marioalonso5733 ya, but that "what for" sounds like a statement.
Retaliation. 8:35, the cop explains: If you say you have no injuries, you get to drive home. If you say you need to go to hospital ... well ... then "I'm gonna have to do things differently" (read: you're going to be arrested".
@@arthurneddysmith yep. As if that short stay in jail is going to change the guys idea of saying the cops injured him, vs the car accident. That’d honestly be even more of a reason for him to say the cops did it. He just wants the guy to admit on camera that the cops didn’t do it.
@@Sffker If he was internally injured and then serious harm did come to him while in custody, you could also argue without being properly checked while being held placed him in greater risk for more serious harm. It's one of the biggest concerns with motor accidents.
There needs to be a federal ban on officers being allowed to search vehicles off a "smell" alone period. There is so much rampant abuse and corruption in the USA based off this alone that the danger to our civil liberties massively outweighs any potential dangers. The practice needs to end immediately
Especially in a situation where they didn't observe an infraction.
EXACTLY!
PA has this law, now.
Seriously. In this case, this would mean that the officer's sniffer is so complex that he can smell past the powder of any airbags that went off, car liquids that spilled, cologne/perfume, car leather, general freeway at a busy time smells, and so many other options. if that was the case, that officer should be in war torn countries sniffing for bombs or something because his talents are being wasted smelling for mere car searches.
I thought this was already passed through the Supreme Court a couple years ago. These cops have their wives do their laundry and all the sudden everywhere they go they think they smell something. 🙄
My cousin died in jail after security thought he was faking an asthma attack.
How callous is it that people in power allow themselves to be the decider if someone needs medical care or not. Absolutely disgusting.
That's fucking disgusting, may your cousin rest in peace
Was there any fallout on the cops for it?
Sorry for your loss. That's sick.
Same thing happened to the son of one of my friends. He repeatedly asked for medical care while having a severe asthma attack. Guards ignored him and pulled the whole "If you can talk you can breathe just fine" BS. It got so bad it caused him to go into cardiac arrest and he died on the way to the hospital.
These two cases should be Front Page News. Lawsuits may help the victims slightly, they hurt the police department not at all. They must be exposed and shamed.
"If you tell me you're injured from my officers I'm taking you to jail, if you pretend nothing happened we will let you go"
ATA claimed: “the officer matched Mr. Hill’s aggression …” No, the officers escalated the aggression. Mr Hill used words and gestures, the officers used physical force and restraint. That is an escalation. Words matter.
Sounds like a lawsuit to me.
Yeah no cap.
Facts.
You don't jump out and run at a cop like that. Just stupid in any case. Plus this dude doesn't know if he has an injury when it looked like someone sliced his neck and he survived?
@@deathisonlythebeginning5098 so do you like outback or kiwi brand polish better? Which has a better flavor?
None of the officers on the scene showed any measure of professionalism.
The officer's chose to be against Mr Hill as soon as they arrived on scene.
The fact that they jailed him because he refused to release the officers from any medical wrongdoing is tyrannical. Offering his freedom as a reward.
And of course, they also "jailed" his car, meaning they impounded it. That means he had to pay thousands of dollars to "bail" it out of impound, of which the police department receives a kickback from the tow company and impound service.
I'll be honest... This type of interaction is exactly why I stopped being a police officer. This is far too common among more than 50% of the interactions I saw first hand. Way too many officers feel entitled with "badge power" to bend, and sometimes break the law to their advantage. And the minute you as a rookie officer, or any other civilian stand up for what you know is right, you're demonized... That old saying... You might beat the wrap, but you're not beating the ride. He was upset because he knew the officer was in the wrong for going through his car. This was the definition of an attitude arrest.

They tell you to dial 911 after an accident so that you will get help. Not harassed, accused of being intoxicated, arrested for literally no reason.
and we wonder why people RUN from the cops. EVEN the innocent !!!!!!!!!
Life’s a puzzling gamble, huh?
@@Existential_Dread Lmfao, imagine calling the police because you were stabbed and started weighing the possibility that they charge you with your own stabbing 💀💀
Not anymore, now if there was not damage to city property or major injury. A police offered won't be dispatch your accident .
I was hit recently and the driver fled and then returned. When an officer arrived, he began chatting with the driver who hit me. I was told a report was not needed because the other driver accepted fault. I insisted a report be taken. The officer then searched my car and ran my plates. He did not do so for his buddy that he knew from the barber shop. No report was taken. The next day the other driver's insurance call me saying they had a claim against me that I hit their customer's cars.
I got it straightened out as I had witnesses, but geeze just another example of dirty cops.
The cops admitted they didn't have a reason to arrest him by saying "we'll let you know what crime you've violated later." Well, that's not how the law works. If he was charged with menacing they should have said so. The cops never immediately charged him with "menacing."
well, he attacked their fragile cop ego and even DARED to question their questionable actions...
that was enough of reason for arrest
legal reason was needed so the cop required some time to figure that out.
Not exactly. Contrary to popular belief, police do not have to tell you why you're being arrested, or what you're suspected of. They could theoretically have already known what they were arresting the guy for, but not wanted to tell him until they were at the station or whatever, or they could have had an idea of the charge, but not known the exact name.
Though in this case, they probably just cuffed him because he challenged their authority and planned to find a crime to charge him with later.

"I smell marijuana", is just a way to usurp 4th amendment rights.
Yup. The whole damn state smells like Marijuana.
Any cop who plays the "I smell marijuana" card and none is found should be barred from using that excuse as they obviously have an unreliable sense of smell.
They use it so care free just to violate your rights. I had a cop tell me that before just to violate my rights.
It doesn't bother me personally because sometimes it could be the case that there was weed in the car the day before and the smell could still be lingering.
My only concern about the "I smell marijuana" excuse is that it leaves you vulnerable to the cop's bodycam suddenly experiencing "unexplainable" malfunctions coincidentally at the same time a bag of weed is suddenly "discovered" from your vehicle.
If a cop claims to smell pot search some ones property and nothing is found, the cops should be charged with some kind of fraud.
"You only need to hang mean bastards, but mean bastards, need to hang." - Hateful 8
Cops are allowed to "be mistaken" with impunity. They can make up anything they want to establish RAS and the courts will back them up 99.9% of the time...if it goes to trial. That is because if the DA didn't back down, the judge figures there's some merit to the charges.
But, there's the huge percentage of times where the charges are dropped by the DA. So, if there was insufficient evidence to prosecute, that means no crime took place, and that the arrest was illegal. But there is no instantaneous reviews of such cases. The arresting officers should be interviewed and warned. If they keep making false arrests, fired and charged.
I understand the "smell" thing is abused, but the order does linger even after any pot is taken out of the car. Unless you go in there with a ozone machine, and even then......
If he smokes in his car it will smell with or without weed. That said, yeah it still happens a lot to people that don’t smoke in there cars. 😔
Yup
Cops like these view efforts to “de-escalate” as a threat to their manhood. The driver clearly committed “contempt of cop” by sternly standing up for his 4th Amendment right. Even if the cop genuinely “detected” the odor of marijuana, it should be standard practice that the driver be informed that his car is going to be searched on that basis… not after the fact. As to the driver’s A- score, AtA often deducts a half-point over the failure to remain silent, but in this case praises the driver for asserting his rights. It is difficult to verbally assert anything if one remains silent, so I do not understand the half-point deduction.
it was said he could invoke his right to remain silent more tactfully, not completely. Regardless of that if the driver had approached the officer differently in the beginning it may have ended better. It is entirely possible that the driver could have avoided being arrested if he had acted a bit differently. Generally any action that does not benefit you is reason for point deduction. and for the record i am not defending the officers in any way, they are awful. im just saying that things could have been different if no aggressive was ever introduced on the drivers behalf (even though i completely understand and agree with his feelings)

This is what happens when you hire low IQ thugs with ego problems to enforce laws. They are attracted to the job position because of the possibility to legally use violence on people.
A possible solution to this problem is to require a law degree to be a police officer. That would dissuade a lot of people with low IQs and ego issues from getting into the "law enforcement" career.
The driver went at the officer the way he goes at his mother and father, I can assure you that if a young punk like that comes at me sticking his finger to my face, it'd end up worse, this Audit the audit all it does is looking to poke holes to make @$$holes like that look like victims, he needs to calm the hell down...

These officers are _humans_ not angels and some humans are psychopaths. You have NO IDEA what they're doing in your car and yet they have power over you.

I had an experience with the Denver Police after an accident years ago and was kind of shocked by their inability to deal with it. I got hit by a car while riding my bicycle and suffered a broken nose, broken leg, and minor concussion. With the broken nose and road rash, I was a fairly bloody mess and the driver of the car went into shock. But the officers never recognized any of this. They kept saying we were acting weird and suspicious. They were upset at me for not calling 911. I kept explaining that I had asked the driver to take me to the hospital as if that made sense. I also claimed I didn't black out, I just couldn't remember what happened. I had definitely blacked out, but I just couldn't think clearly. I mean my nose was broken and even though I was wearing a helmet, my entire forehead was swollen like a giant oblong goose egg. The driver was just staring off into space repeating, "I have to go to work" without trying to move or leave. I recognized he was in shock from summer camp first aid training even though I didn't recognize my own confusion. I still can't believe that they didn't have enough training to recognize, these people aren't acting shady, they need medical attention. Both of us. Just because someone knows their own name and where they are after a head injury doesn't mean they are fully functional and rational either. There are degrees of injury and you would hope someone whose full-time job is a first responder would know that.
I’ve noticed from many of these (and my one experience from police) that police don’t treat citizens as people. They treat them as possible arrests. So they always think everything is suspicious. Even if it’s perfectly reasonable human response.
Like “being nervous” as a cop is questioning you. They love to go on about “I don’t know you” to us, but we don’t know them either. And we are not the ones who have legal authority to violate their rights, assault, shoot, restrain, kidnap and imprison.
So yes people may be nervous. They don’t approach stuff like humans taking to humans.
I was 17, had been physically assaulted by my dad and ran away. Cops got me in the country just walking. Asked if I had an ID, and I said not with me, and then the guy came back confrontational about why I “lied to him”. I didn’t, he said my ID had expired. 🙄 So to him that made me suspicious and instead of seeing a child (I looked very young until around 23) who had some issues he saw someone suspicious.
They took me in and never asked me what happened. Then I get informed my dad wasn’t going to press charges. 🤪
Amazing. It’s like many cops just lose, or never had, humanity.
Any coo who stops recording or mutes their camera should automatically be found guilty if anyone brings up a case against them. That plus they should be suspended or fired. They should never try to hide what they are doing.

How is this not a criminal act on the part of the police? How can this cop not only still have his job, but still not be in jail?
If he had said he was not in injured by the officers then gone to the hospital for treatment, could he have later said he was forced to say he was not injured by the officers under threat of arrest by the police officer, making his statement void?
Veteran cops know what they can get away with.
There are holding tanks for the general population but also solitary confinement rooms that are out of view of the other prisoners in jail. So let's say that officer Barbrady wants to take the billy club to you, they pull you out of general population & out of sight (so there are no witnessed of your beating)
they then will beat the shit out of you with 4 or 5 of them and throw you in solitary confinement until your bruises are all healed. When they let you back out into the general population, there won't be anyone who actually saw the cops beat you & you do not have any evidence in the form of bruising for anyone to verify. They may also release you into a cell that nobody was in hearing distance either. So even IF you can afford to lawyer up & try to sue the cops who attacked you, it becomes a "your word vs the cops word" which will never hold up in court.
I met a guy once who claimed that he was arrested for trying to bring food to the people inside the Branch Dividian Church as it was being sieged by the government.

The kid was absolutely right when said he needs to go to the hospital to see if he actually suffered any injuries. I got in an accident a few years back, some lady had some type of panic attack or something and lost control of her vehicle and I ended up T boning her. Thankfully nobody died and other then some soreness in my shoulder from the seat belt I felt perfectly fine and turn down the offer from the medics on scene to go to the hospital after they did a quick evaluation of my health. A few days later while at work my back felt like it caught on fire, figured it was just whiplash from the accident so I just took a few days off of work and some ibuprofen. 3 days later and my back was still in pain so I went to the doctor thinking maybe I pulled a muscle at work, turns out I was actually injured from the accident and had two slipped disks in my lower back and from what the doctor said I possibly aggravated the injury further by going to work. *ALWAYS* go to the hospital immediately after you get into an accident

When these officers keep muting their bodycam, something nefarious is going on!! This is getting me so upset. This is how people die in their custody. I pray that this young man get a BIG settlement.
The officers should have zero, and I mean zero, control over the cameras, from start of shift until end it should be running non stop, and any interruptions or failures should be held against them as evidence tampering.
And further to that, any officer trying to stop people from recording their interactions should be suspended for the minimum amount of time it takes to redo the required training from scratch.
If they don't want to be in the public eye then that should remain private citizens, not public law enforcement officers, if you can't follow the law, and basic human decency, while upholding it, then you are far more a criminal than anyone else
FYI:
1.Cops *should only* switch off/Mute their cameras in the presence and authority of a supervisor.
2.The only reason they switch of their cameras is either to get their story (lies) straight and find a solid reason to cover their asses, to plant evidence or to get away with assaulting and mishandling a suspect/victim.
And guess what?
They will almost *ALWAYS* get away with it because they have qualified immunity and Cops lives will always be more important than normal citizen lives.
Frankly this requires criminal charges against those police. They removed someone from an ambulance after being a victim in a car crash. And their behaviour only got worse and worse.
Update:
"This week, Denver City Council approved a $100,000 payout to settle a lawsuit filed by Keilon Hill, who claimed that his treatment by Denver cops after a 2020 traffic accident constituted excessive force and racial bias."
Thank you for the update
Why wouldn't the paper name the cop responsible? Why wouldn't the paper detail and list the number of illegal, against policy actions the cop took? Why is society not exposing the cops for who they are? Does the paper not think this information interesting? (Not rhetorical, genuinely curious.)
'BADGE POWER'. THAT IS THE RIGHT PHRASE... I AM SO GLAD HE WON. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE LIVES OF THE INDIVIDUALS, ITS ALL ABOUT THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS. THEY NEEDED HIM TO GO AWAY, DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN. THE SACRIFICE WAS HIS FINALS. AND COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN HIS LIFE...
WHEN I VIEW ALL THESE FARCICAL INTERACTIONS, I SEE THE CHILD, THE BABY THE EARLY YEARS AS HE GREW INTO THE PERSON WHO HE HAS BECOME. I WONDER IF THESE COPS LOOK AT THEIR CHILDREN IN THAT WAY TOO - AFTER THEY GET HOME FROM BROWBEATING AN INNOCENT MAN OR WOMEN. JUST SICKENING.....
don't celebrate so soon. From that same article:
"Ludwig's punishment? He was given a good talking-to."
Article also illuminated some extra information from body cam scenes ATA presumably didn't have legal access to at the time of this video's making which seems to strongly indicate racial bias (shocker, I know). Apparently prior to the interaction Ludwig had commented that Hill "looks like a turd" among a number of other things. It's worth checking out the article, though I don't know if youtube likes when comments contain links, so I'll post it in a reply. If you are reading this and don't see that reply, just do what I did and copy paste "This week, Denver City Council approved a $100,000 payout to settle a lawsuit filed by Keilon Hill, who claimed that his treatment by Denver cops after a 2020 traffic accident constituted excessive force and racial bias" into your search bar.
@morgan yu did you not read the comment above lol
That was as clear a threat and retaliation by the officer as you are ever going to hear. "if you say that you have injuries things are going to go very different. If you say that you don't have injuries then it means nothing has happened and I can let you drive away" "I asked you if my officers injured you" The victim wouldn't agree to say no and immediately (creating the nexus) the officer arrested him. "we have to do paperwork on him" meaning we have to justify assaulting and injuring the victim.
Thus the law suit.
As a EMT I would have told that cop to get bent and that I’m taking the guy as a patient the second he said he was unable to determine if he was hurt
You could clearly hear the officer say “If you say your not injured I will release you and you’ll be free to drive home”. Yet once he said I don’t know I’m not a doctor and I need to seek medical attention soon but instead of making sure he got medical attention the tyrants chose to keep him from medical attention and decided to arrest him and put him in jail for 24 hours. Which in itself denied him clearly of any medical treatment.
This aggregious escalation shows just how sensitive police are, which puts the public and other officers in danger on a regular basis
Egregious. Some police.
Blanket statements don’t create productive arguments.
They are inept, ignorant children with a power complex.
“What am I being arrested for”
Police “we’ll let you know soon as we think of a reason” 🐷 🔫
That's exactly what it sounded like
The officer is actually saying that if he says that he needs to go to the hospital..he is going to "ARREST HIM!",.. BUT IF HE SAYS THAT HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO THE "HOSPITAL!",."THEN HE WILL LET HIM GO!",...THE OFFICER IS "THREATENING!",.HIM WITH JAIL!"..
OH MY GOD. The officer made his threat good..... " If you tell me you're not injured, you can go". Wow.
Even a mediocre lawyer could argue that that is obvious coercion. The plaintiff could state after the fact that they felt under duress and could likely demonstrate suffering at least a whiplash type injury and getting arrested clearly interferes with obtaining medical treatment.
@@haggismcbaggis9485 Not only a whiplash but a possible internal bleeding which could have killed him.
And if had stated no injury that could have been used against him in court considering he was just in an accident
You know the intent is corrupt when the cop offers to let him drive on his way if he say he's not injured.
extortion
That has nothin to do with the internet
@@kireepotter4762 intent is not the internet I think you misread it
@@Buttfloss513 100% misread
This why they hate cameras there getting caught at being a dirty cop...
I'm still trying to understand... WHAT did they arrest him for? They never gave a single reason. He never broke any laws...
They arrested him for not being a cop 😂 it’s us against them and that’s how they’re trained and it’s shows 😂
Obstruction is generally what they go with
They want us to back the blue, but that's hard to do when they have zero accountability. I really think if people saw cops holding other cops accountable and they cleaned up their bad apples, you would see cops get tremendous respect. Its about humility and integrity. Unfortunately, their union acts more like the mafia with its code of silence and requirement for absolute loyalty.
The senior cop is treating him so badly, doesn’t want to know about any injury other than if his officers caused it. Pushing him away saying doing get in my face. This officer does not care at all for this man and I would go as far to say he even dislikes the man. Disgusting policing
I guarantee that they never even ask him about the accident or who fault it was or write a report or none of that crap..
I agree, I cant imagine I call the police for help when I'm injured and when i get out of the ambulance to speak to them they arrest me for "smelling weed" out of my wrecked car.
The last officer literally put his hands on him and said don’t get in my face when he was simply leaning forward to speak over traffic. All these officers a horrid and bullies
Yeah man, they are DESPERATE for a fight. & when they actually cross an individual willing to take them on they often piss their pants & shrink. These guys are the worst
Did you really just say he was just speaking up to get over the traffic? Because that seems like you’re lying just as much as the cops lie sometimes. How often do you put your finger in someone’s face when you’re just trying to speak over the traffic? Or am I already forgetting what happened in the video?
@@iMatti00 watch @12:00 and then apologize or delete your comment
@iMatti00 not too much going on in your noggin, huh?
@@rodneymercado7195 - Very articulate. That gives me a lot to consider. smh 🤤
There are two main problems here.
1. You shouldn’t drive whilst on any drugs or alcohol but the issue is there’s nothing to stop police lying and saying they do, meaning they can search anyones car at any time and get away with it.
2. The police, as they they often do, didn’t know what crime they should arrest him for. They got their egos hurt and needed time to figure what they could possibly charge him with. That’s not the way it should work
And then they work very hard to interpret a crime to charge even if the elements of the crime aren’t present.
And the charge was just dropped because it wasn't a valid charge. But they already got the retaliation they wanted by arresting him and putting him in jail for a day. In addition to the upfront consequences, he's now in the system, he's supposed to divulge on rental and job applications that he was arrested, etc. His lawsuit and department reviews of this incident are very unlikely to result in negative consequences for any of the officers. The taxpayers will pay a judgment or settlement, and it will be rinse and repeat for these officers.
@@loki2240 I've NEVER seen a job or rental app that asked "have you ever been ARRESTED" I have however seen "Have you been CONVICTED of a felony"
A worse issue is that they dragged him from an ambulance after an accident where he had not been fully assessed and if the citizen had a C-spine injury that had not yet been assessed because many things crop up after a accident they would’ve increased the injury first off, second offered this gentleman was guilty till proven innocent because of the biased reports from the two white“ gentleman that gave statements that were not true and the police did no investigation !
@@b0bbyblueyes746 - Okay. Have you seen all applications? And different jobs call for different levels of scrutiny. He would need to divulge the arrest for a bar association fitness test, to apply to the FBI, etc.
Cops can't tell the smell of weed from the smell of a freshly cut tomato plant. My buddy was transporting a harvest of tomatoes to take to his moms place. Gets stopped and the cop searched his car claiming he smelled weed. Buddy opens his trunk and calls the cop and idiot because he smells tomatoes.
Amazing how many police officers, armed to the teeth, fear for their lives from unarmed ordinary citizens.
I remember a few years ago an elderly, mentally ill homeless woman was shot to death in Long Beach while waving around a screw driver she refused to drop on command.
It's no fun being cuffed and placed in the back of a police car by five armed police officers for "your own safety".
The cops seemed almost disappointed when their inquiries came back "No Wants or Warrants".
They're trained to believe everyone not wearing a uniform could potentially be on FBI's most wanted list and that you're guilty until proven innocent.
Does anyone have a doubt he was arrested because he wouldn't say the officer's didn't injure him? If he was free to go, even if the cop tried the "duty of care" argument, why would he handcuff and arrest someone for nothing more than being potentially injured? Didn't hear it but did they immediately get him medical care after the arrest?
I am going to guess that he will not have any student loan debt after this is settled.
This was a desperate attempt by the cops to not get caught and it's extremely obvious. Where's the hangman when you need him?
Evidently they put him in a cell for 24 hours without medical care.
Say you're not injured and I'll let you go.
I can't say that.
You're under arrest.
It couldn't be plainer. How these clowns still have a job is beyond me. Somebody please tell me they were fired immediately and it just didn't make the video.
@@briant7265
If I acted as that cop did at my work place, I would be kicked out of there so fast I wouldn't even know what hit me.
@@deanmikehotmailcom I do try to be a little realistic. When I went through college, it was about $1800 per semester (might have even been per year) and I made $9 and change at a supermarket. Today, that same college is over $25,000 per year and people at the supermarket still make about $9 per hour. There is little chance a student can "pay their way through college"
Wow this is absolutely awful, good on him for suing.
How was he "Steppin" to the cop. He said he didn't give consent to search, and the cop acted like he was acting crazy. He was reasonable the cops were too emotional.
Do you like @n@L?
"too emotional" = afraid of a black kid and needed to posture

Amazing how they went directly to probation and the way they talked was condescending as hell.
Shameful behavior. The cops were being racist and talking down to a man who is more educated than them
I dont want to assume it's racism, because maybe it wasn't, but it sure did sound like it was confirmation bias.

Police need to start feeling "pain" for behavior like this.
Their Pension fund should be used to pay the penalties that they have to pay as a result of their behavior. I would think that it would result in more "self policing" of their own behavior.
Absolutely 💯, hit them to make it hurt.
So we're gonna just harm the good police officers in order to catch all the bad police officers? Seems like that's something that we're comdemming police officers like this for. Harming the rights of good citizens in order to catch the bad ones. Im not saying that there needs to be change no in the police system of America, all i'm saying is that ''eye for an eye''usually only tends to keep the cycle going. A more fitting solution would be an independent organisation, with no ties to police, that would ''police the police''. Perhaps something like a board of lawyers, or other jobs that have extensive knowledge of the law could be put in place, which would have the authority to judge over police interactions like this.
@@jesse9710 haven't met a single good police officer. Because every single police force has outwardly evil and bad cops that nothing is done about. If there are no repercussions that actually effect officers, they will continue to abuse and terrorize the people. Acab.
