Soooo true I really feel sorry for anyone on probation under his authority. I really think he should have been arrested for actions outside of his authority!!!!
As a retired probation and parole officer of TN, I had NO arrest authority. This guy is crazy! He should be fired and charged for impersonating an officer. You’re an extension of the court and parole board. It’s never wise to engage as if you’re a road officer.
@@dmitriyk4322 Yeah, in my neck of the woods they call that "kidnapping". He's a non-cop using an implied threat of lethal force to seize a person's freedom to leave. Police get special categories because to some extent they are authorized to take that action (if not always justified).
The overwhelming majority of police work consists of bullying unwanted interactions with citizens not in need of protection, service, or assistance to force their participation in a racketeering conspiracy with the bar associations wherein they will plead guilty regardless of their innocence or any bad action like a speed trap. Police use dishonorable methods to racketeer work for themselves and their partners and make constant use of trickery and deception to void rights they know citizens are entitled to.
@@OromeVala I couldn't agree more. Police work consists of proactively policing victimless crimes in hopes to practice civil asset forfeiture, extortion and imprisonment.
@Mike Smith It does make sense. The parole officer did impersonate the police by pulling someone over, and he knows he won't get arrested for it. What's confusing about that comment?
@Mike Smith I didn't make the comment you were confused by. Don't tell me that I don't know how to make proper sentences when you don't know how to read usernames. "The guy" was the object in the original sentence that the responding comment referred to, and "impersonating" was the verb associated with the object.
Same, I am not subject to a Probation Officer so as soon as he said that I'd have repeated it for clarity and then rolled up my window and went on my way. He was driving under the speed limit so what's he going to do, burn rubber to catch up? And then what? Complain to his boss that his bogus stop failed?
he did have a pistol though, so if he was unhinged enough to think that he had the authority to stop someone, i wouldn't put it past him to open fire on their car.
Yeah but knowing how things work, the PO would have called it in as a man “threatening“ him while driving and dude would have been arrested with guns drawn on just the POs word because he is an “officer of the court” and we all know they never lie… 🙄
@Joe Will THIS 100%!!! I mean, kinda sounds like common sense, but there's so much "wtf am I supposed to do" these days, esp in that kind of situation. But that was my first thought... I would keep going and just call 911 and ask if they have someone reporting me. If not, I would make sure this person stays within my sight until a cop shows up. ESP if driving through the desert. I fuckin hate it here. Can't have any innocent fun anymore...gotta worry about being murdered just from a traffic stop, whether it's by a legitimate cop or a psychopath... and/or that's usually the same thing! :(
@Joe Will The trooper tolerated it just fine, even to the point of believing him on his accusation. The cop wasn't there to witness it so he couldn't do anything about it, he still let the guy go who was impersonating the officer.
@@robbietomlinson3704 the P.O. says (at least what i could hear after the question) "you are stopped" i couldn't hear anything after that as the videower was talking over the P.O. guy. Glad the trooper finally showed up and sent them on their ways.
@@robbietomlinson3704 "Evidently you are being detained" is not "yes you are" or "no you aren't" it's purposefully vague, leaving out the detail that HE is the one detaining him, which he cannot do. Of course the driver will keep speaking over him until he gets a CLEAR, EXACT answer.
There is no universe where he would get arrested. Please tell me what an officer who just arrived even could arrest him for. Don’t get me wrong, I hope he was promptly fired after this, but there’s no way to arrest him
Not only did Mashburn have no authority to make a traffic stop, he clearly had NO CLUE on what to do once Barnwell had stopped. I don't believe Mashburn was "highly misinformed" - he was on an ego trip, that's all. His whole body language shows that.
@Maryse Flore yeah, "he doesn't mean it. highly misinformed" is being used ironically here. It's a kosher way of saying we all suspect - but can't prove it, so he gets the benefit - that this guy knows better but doesn't care ... (at least, that's always been my interpretation just about every time I've heard AtA say 'highly misinformed'.)
@@heidikickhouse- yeah I'd have to agree..thats the impression that I've always gotten when ATA says "highly misinformed". That probation/parole officer definitely KNOWS that he can't make traffic stops..he's on a total ego trip, and has ZERO authority to pull vehicles over.
"Sir, I can only deal with one car at a time" -translated- "I don't care about all of the other cars, I've been personally offended, and I plan to milk that" This whole stop was just... priceless
"Officer, does that probation officer have police authority over me, right here, right now? No? I have him on video attempting to assert that authority. Please arrest him for impersonating an officer."
this is exactly what should have happened. he should have maintained that this man be arrested for illegally detaining him and abusing his fake authority....instead the patrolman allowed the abuser to go free while covering for him with language insinuating this citizen may have committed the traffic violation he was being accused of but that since it all seemed bogus he was willing to look the other way and let the citizen go INSTEAD of asking if this citizen wanted to press charges and take it to court and have the faker arrested.

Corrections Officer knew enough to not say "detained", that seems to me to be evidence that he knew he wasn't within his authority and it was a case of ego.
And then ATA gives the uniformed trooper an A+ grade ? Why didnt the responding cop arrest the probation officer for his illegal traffic stop and impersonating a cop with arrest authority ? He let the guy that pulled an illegal traffic stop just walk away, and then ATA gives him an A+ ? ATA's grades are AWFUL !
No question of it. I watched it several times. The second time he even catches himself and stumbles, changes his wording. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing, he knew he was breaking the law, exceeding his authority, and violating the rights of the unlawfully detained driver. He knew exactly what he was doing, and deliberately and carefully played weasel word games, semantics, and beat around the bush. Hopefully he'll be held accountable for this. Can't say as I'm holding my breath, but he damn well OUGHT to be fired for this. I'd bet money this piece of work probably couldn't meet the requirements to be a police officer, but just barely squeaked by the ones for probation dept, and has spent the length of his employment pretending to be a real cop. I'd love to see the results of a psych eval on this jerk.
6:48 “evidently you are being detained” He did actually say it...eventually. I see his failure to repeat that when asked (because the civilian didn’t hear it when he said the above) as evidence more of that passive aggressive/condescending attitude many cops exhibit in these videos. Like he’s a teacher or parent of a 6 year old saying “well if you had just listened to me you’d know and so I’m not repeating myself to the likes of you”. As a side note, I’m not sure why this is so prevalent amongst cops in the US. I’m from Australia and I’ve literally never seen/heard of/experienced this kind of attitude from cops here. In normal traffic stops everyone is pleasant to each other so long as the other person is pleasant back. Never seen a cop (or fake cop,’as in this situation) pull someone over and immediately be aggressive, rude and condescending. Then again, we also don’t have plagues of people getting killed by cops either.
@@goldboy150the guy obviously knew he was overstepping his authority at that time. Don't make excuses just because he had some sort of badge. He was wrong .....period
another1 what are you talking about? I made no excuses. If you bothered to actually read what I wrote, you’d have noticed that I just pointed out that he did say it once but the guy didn’t hear it and he then asked him multiple times to which the officer refused to answer - which I said was passive aggressive and condescending. Have no idea why people on TH-cam want to create a disagreement where none exists. I completely agree that it was wrong. Period. Just because he was wrong doesn’t mean we should ignore facts like whether he ever said it or not. I even gave you a time stamp to hear it for yourself.
@@goldboy150 I’m a black man in America and I promise it’s not like this all the time, I’ve never encountered an officer like this. I’ve been arrested and went to jail and every cop I encountered was pretty respectful, but I’m a respectful kind of guy so that probably helps as well.
In my opinion, the parole officer was maliciously using his "authority". The P.O. refused to say the phrase "you are being detained" because he knew that he did not have the authority for such a stop.
@Malcoy ....why run when you can press charges? This opportunity to confront a tyrant acting out turned into an inconvenience to the Citizen and a uTube meme. A waste.
I agree. That's why I think that the Trooper failed to take action against the PO right then and there on his road. If you look at the smug look on the guys face, you can tell this isn't his first time running someone off the road. He created the situation in which he shared his fearful feelings with the trooper. 45 is the minimum speed to be on a state highway? Cruising under 50 in the left lane is asking for it. This man leaves home an hour early just to encite road rage in people who hit the snooze button three times that morning.
@@joaosouza3860 The PO never said he was being detained, but also told him he was not free to leave, so in an indirect manner told him he was being detained.
He didn't hesitate, and he knew exactly how to fudge and twist things to avoid self incrimination. In court he would have said, "I never said I was a police officer, and never said he was detained. He was free to go at any time." But outside court, he will never specify whether someone is being detained or not or whether he is an actual officer or not.
My friends works for the CBSA. He told me this one officer while he was driving to I think either the airport or Canada Post he came across a drunk driver (keep in mind this officer is in a CBSA car) he waited for a police officer to show up to deal with the drunk driver. News got out at work and he CBSA officer got in trouble and I think suspended for a few days. CBSA = canadian border services
@@Kalikus808 false imprisonment, and impersonating an leo for starters...? Lol did you even watch the video? He made an unconstitutional stop when he had no authority to do so, then held him hostage with a gun on his hip. Bet he would've pulled it too if the driver tried to leave.
@@Mars_Ultor_CasualGamer thats just how it is everywhere sadly. It’s part of the corruption. You don’t cover for a bad cop? They will purposely ignore ur calls for back up or otherwise. If you are a genuine good cop you get punished by the system just like good law abiding citizens.
Since probation guy was operating outside the scope of his authority, he should have no qualified immunity. He needs to be taught a lesson where it hurts. His wallet
@@CrotchRocket78 Not if they don't have qualified immunity. Which is why OP mentioned the incident being "outside the scope of his authority" Qualified Immunity, which protects LEOs from personal liability when conducting their official duties, doesn't apply to actions outside their official duties. No taxpayer dollars would be at risk. Only grandpa PO's. You could even consider it recovering taxpayer money, since every dollar that PO possessed was taxpayer dollars to begin with.
@@aennaenn7468 Partially correct. Qualified Immunity ONLY applies to those actions where the LEO's actions were not "well established" to the point a "reasonable person/officer" would know that by engaging in that action, they were violating someone's constitutional rights. Example: when the Taser was first introduced, no case law existed governing it's use so people were being tased multiple times or it was employed when it should not have been. Now, case law exists that has delineated when, where, and how the Taser may reasonably be employed without violating someone's constitutional rights. However, these rulings are constantly evolving as individuals affected by police actions sue them and courts rule their actions were unconstitutional. In this case, a reasonable person (the probation officer) should certainly have known he did not have the requisite statutory authority to effect a traffic stop on a motorist, thereby violating his 4th Amendment rights, simply to lecture him on his driving. However, unless there has been case law on the specific point of a probation officer stopping a motorist, in NC, a court may find the agency has QI but the PO might not. Still stupid on the part of the PO and ridiculous.
@@thegman2484 Yeah, I understand. I just didn't want to get into the minutiae of exactly how it works because that's not particularly important here. This one is pretty cut and dry. All you'd have to establish is that they trained him, and that by the training he was absoluty aware of the extent of his powers when he made the stop.
I don't think he was confused. The trooper was having an "Oh F**k" moment because he knew the PO had violated the driver's rights for over 30 minutes and was hoping he could just smooth it over. Trooper should have placed the PO under arrest as soon as he determined what happened. While the trooper was cordial, he failed at his job.....just another "aw shucks....don't mind Bubba over there" moment. Acted all proud telling the driver he wasn't going to write him up for anything. Talk about Gaslighting!
This is the exact kind of video I was asking you about in a comment I made on another one of your videos. Thank you for shedding objectivity on law enforcement and not just painting all of law enforcement as bullies and thugs like the majority of TH-cam and social media in general.
The probation officer needs to be charged with impersonating a police officer. There needs to be accountability rather than just "we'll look into it." No. You can get away with that if it hasn't come to the People 's attention of police misconduct. I think it's pretty damn obvious that's no longer the case, on a National level. Now there needs to start being prosecutions. The People are the one's in charge, here. Not the government and it's executive personnel
@Mountains Are the Shattered Teeth of God Yeah, well; The People have been encouraged to think of themselves as helpless. As subjects of a distributed monarch. The just need someone to wake them up to the realization that they have the real power. This incident didn't immediately result in the DOJ indicting people? Oust anyone that was in a position to do something and didn't. Vote in new politicians running on a campaign for prosecuting anyone involved with the incident that could do something and did nothing. Public officials get complacent and corrupt when The People don't (figuratively) demand heads.
Isn't this impersonation of a police officer? Flashed a badge to make a stop, without the authority to do so. And what qualified immunity does he have?
That’s a good question. I don’t think it would be impersonating a LEO because he never identified himself as a police office (at least not in the video) and the badge that he flashed was a legitimate badge that was issued to him. However, he did not have the authority to conduct a traffic stop nor detain the individual. It’s definitely illegal detainment which he should be brought up charges as well as terminated. As far as qualified immunity if he isn’t considered a LEO I wouldn’t think he had any.
@@bsmith2258 If you look at the Jeremy Dewitte videos, he never identifies himself as a police officer but his appearance and actions got him charged with impersonation. This situation isn't much different.
I was thinking the same thing about impersonating. Major Ego trip on this "cop" just because the cop was going well under the speed limit and the other guy wasn't... I hope the guy does press charges.
QI would be dependent on his mistake. If he believed he had authority, and that belief was reasonable, he’s covered. Nobody here can answer that. It’s a question for the court.
Just look at the difference too, trooper looked sharp and professional, probation officer looked like a slob that was eating a cheeseburger in the left lane .
No… he shouldn’t have done a check on Id and insurance he should have yelled and arrested an impersonator of law officer also the probation officers got a gun! Illegal and dangerous
I work in law enforcement and the reason he won't answer his question if he's being detained is because the P.O knows what he's doing is not legal. I was on a call similar to this once. A constable pulled over a woman for speeding and kept her there until I showed up. The Constable demand I give the woman a citation for speeding and also a citation for her not showing him her driver's license. That's when I pulled him to the side and explained how things really work. I told him the only person who might get a citation today would be him for the illegal stop he made.
@@nikoblue3544 if you're asking if I gave him a citation that day the answer is no I did not. I did write up a report which was send to the district attorney to see if they wanted to file charges on the man. After investigations into the incident the constable was suspended without pay for 3 months.
@@h.ofl3503you had plenty of probable cause to believe he illegally detained someone, possibly misrepresented his authority, possibly even kidnapped someone, take your pick. It's great you didn't further violate the rights of the victim but the fact is that you, who we probably can safely say are one of the best examples of a "good cop," still perpetuate a system designed to violate our civil rights at every turn. No matter how good of a cop you are, you're still bad.
You should change jobs. I rather be a janitor scrubbing toilets than Helping the Government Extort money from the citizens. I don't know you, but I see many cops as Terrorists. I know drug dealers with more humanity and integrity than most State Sponsored Terrorists.
That probation officer detained that driver, pure and simple. That is illegal as he had no authority... it can also be to the worst kidnapping under duress.
Someone wearing a badge that feels slighted because a vehicle passed them shouldn't be wearing a badge. My money is on the fact that this isn't the first time he conducted a traffic stop and flexing his power.
If the vehicle didn't have lights I'd have kept going. If there were lights I'd have pulled over and the moment I saw they weren't a police officer and refusing to identify I'd leave. At that point I have zero proof they are an actual officer and would presume they are illegally impersonation an officer and are trying to rob or harm me.
Probation officer should be fired... tyrants should never be left in any position with even the tiniest bit of power once they are found out to be tyrants....
And yet, so many of them gravitate towards just those sorts of jobs. If only there was a reliable and valid measure of their propensities to enable a selection program to identify them.
You mentioned a very very important detail about whenever cops call on higher authority to show up they always shown up immediately ready to take the side of the fellow officer which to some degree as far as safety is understood but they show up almost like a ‘im going to call your dad in here to bust your ass’ type of situation and they show up ready to be the big tough guy that shows up to handle business rather than showing up as a blank slate ready to hear all sides and conduct themselves as a professional so I think this is incredibly important and they should always show up with the possible idea that their lower ranked officers could be wrong and they shouldn’t automatically side with the officers. It’s just so important. Thank you for bringing this to the front of our attention. It’s commendable what that man did
I don't think you can say that someone who isn't a police officer was engaged in conduct unbecoming of a police officer though. Conduct unbecoming of a man maybe.
He wasn't being "imprisoned" falsely, he was being "detained" falsely. Big difference. A detainment can constitute something as simple as a cop walking up to you and asking you a few questions regarding a crime that happened nearby. And imprisonment is when you've not only been handcuffed and led to a jail, but were charged by a prosecutor of the state and falsely found guilty. Depending on the state, you technically haven't been imprisoned until you've been found guilty by a court of law and issued a sentence, even if you had already spent time prior to that in jail awaiting a trial or court hearing.

I'd like to hear the 911 call. It would be interesting to hear how the operator referred to the PO and what their instructions were. Is 911 part of the state police or a separate government agency?
@@the-btc-tradingfloor2808 not saying you should, but in this case, he wasn't being detained. The parole officer himself did not state that he was being detained. So our driver here could've/should've driven away. If the PO pursuit and fire upon our driver, that would be attempted homicide or God forbid homicide. And if our driver here defends himself, I would also assume the court would state that it was a reasonable act of self defense since the PO was blatantly overstepping his bounds and abusing his authority. But I will also say, this is with hindsight and knowing that the stop was unlawful, it's always better to settle in court than on the streets, you wouldn't need to make assumptions.
I'd bet he actually treats them pretty well, due to the large amount of oversight the job has. So he has to take out all his frustration on random people instead.
And the driver was right: They were in much more danger parked on the shoulder than they were due to an alleged accusation of a traffic violation. (No emergency lights on either vehicle.)
@@sludge4125 This. Roadside collisions are iirc the #1 cause of officer deaths. It's also the #1 cause of tow truck driver deaths, and likely a major contributor to EMS and the like. I drove a tow truck for a short while, and the lights we have are a huge double edged sword. They kind of help, get people to pay attention, but just as often they're a target for drunks to aim for. Additionally driver will buzz you (and I'm not exaggerating) at about 5-6" from the door of your truck to their mirror (and I had coworkers in the short time I worked there lose mirrors by these drivers). Being roadside is absolutely, 100% terrifying. When you have to do it, you do your best to get that car hooked up, and off the shoulder as fast as possible. It has gotten so bad, that here in Oregon it is illegal to not change lanes, or go at least 10mph under the marked speed limit when ANY vehicle has signs of distress. This means everything from flashing hazard lights, all the way up to full on beacons from any and all service vehicles.

That's what should have happened, but I guess the cop feels like probation officers are part of the blue line gang so that's not going to happen. Government backs government, they are your enemy.
Am I the only one to notice the gun on his belt. Here is a power tripping old man who thinks he's a cop living out some fantasy. You really believe that he wouldn't shoot you if you tried to drive off from his "Legal traffic stop"?
Reminds me of a time some friends and I lucked out on some cumnuggets that thought their off duty security job gave them authority on the next parking lot over. They just busted out a window and we ditched them. Never actually identified themselves and it was hard to see with light refracting off water drops on the windows, pretty sure it was the rent a cops trying to interrupt our blunt rolling session after our grand feast.
EXACTLY. Besides, the citizen-driver could have been a victim of a hold-up. This wouldn't be the first time someone impersonating a police officer was actually a criminal.
I am an Alabama Probation and Parole Officer. Everyone employed as an officer is fully sworn as a State Law Enforcement Officer. We have full arrest powers. We have certain guidelines to follow though. We can make traffic stops but again we have certain criteria to follow. Our primary duties is to enforce court and parole board guidelines. I know some states aren’t fully sworn law enforcement but some are especially Alabama. We have lights, sirens, cages etc…
Just imagine what the people on probation have to go through with this guy, he needs to be fired and never allowed to do anything inside the criminal justice system ever again.
As "confused" as Parole Officer Mashburn was(is?), he could easily have believed he had authority to shoot if he was "disobeyed." That's why it's so very necessary for him to spend some time in an orange jumpsuit--to make it perfectly clear, to him, firstly, and to others, that they are NOT the tin gods they imagine themselves to be.
Yea, that's a great way of getting in trouble in some places (as explained in the video) lol... Depending where one is anyone can pull over/stop another and wait for the police. It's so rarely done because the person who pulls the other over can get into trouble if it turns out to be falsely done against the other. Think of it as an unlawful arrest just because it's unlawful doesn't mean you can resist it as you'd still have a good chance of getting charged for resisting...
Staying pulled over is the right thing to do. Argue it in court later or file a complaint/lawsuit, but if someone is flashing a badge running from them is much more likely to end with bad consequences to you. Take this situation, the probation officer is under investigation and the guy lost half an hour of his day. If he just pulls back onto the road then he potentially has to answer for fleeing the scene, might antagonize the actual officers who come to stop him, and might end up with severe legal consequences if the probation officer actually is a full police officer.
Wrong as shown in the video hes in a state whose laws he may not know fully. If parole officers had the right to make a traffic stop in that state then youd be fleeing. So best to sit and wait. More of these idiots need to realise we all have cameras in our picketa these days.
Best part was when he asked fake probation cop if he knew how fast the car that went by was going.... That was exactly like something I would say. I love it!
The trooper deserves a commendation! I liked the almost laugh he gave the driver. It was a "yeah, I know. Sorry about the inconvenience. Thank you for not making this worse" look.
Yup. He's not a patrol cop & not equipped or trained as 1. I would of got out of my truck & beat him down instantly for the intimidation & impersonating a patrol cop.
press those charges, this guy is what we call a Good ol boy. If he can't handle people driving up fast then he should stay off the highway or go the speed limit, or stay out of the fast lane. How many people has this guy done this to in the past? Its not the first time and he should be punished. Shouldn't have that job either
I was thinking the same thing, I get stuck behind slow people all the time going 35mph in a 55mph zone and then when a passing lane comes up they floor it to 65mph so you can’t pass legally, then slow back down, same as the tards on the interstate going 50-65mph in the left lane while in a 70MPH zone and won’t move out of the way!
it's annoying as fuck when people drive slow on the left lane. have some respect and courtesy for the other drivers, you don't own the whole fucking road. you can drive as slow as you want, i don't care, just stay in the right or middle lane. nobody's saying you can't drive slow, just do it in the other lanes where there's other ppl also driving slow
I can't believe this guy asks him for permission to leave... He has no right to even stop him, let alone do anything more. It is sad how little people know about their own rights.
My (now retired) cop relatives have told me: Never, ever pull over for ANYTHING other than a marked patrol car because there are lunatics who will impersonate cops.
@@emilysosnow3812 there are many videos on TH-cam of "cops" getting arrested by real cops. Some have uniforms, marked cars or motorcycles, lights, and siren. If it can be bought, the fake cops have it. Always drive slowly and safely to a well lit area where there are other people around. This is exactly what the real police want you to do. Never pull over on a dark road--no real police officer would want you to do that.
My concern here is, this probation officer was in actuality impersonating a police officer. We don’t know if he was disciplined for his actions or not, but we do know that if it were you or me impersonating a police officer we would have ended up in handcuffs. Ordinary citizens most certainly are treated differently.
While I agree that the police officer was very polite and addressed the situation fairly well, I personally wouldn't give him an A+ because he completely ignored an unlawful stop and detention by the parole officer, instead seeming to choose to give him a pass instead and even went as far as to defend the PO to the driver. Granted we don't really know if it persisted outside the stop towards the PO, but judging by his demeanour I would safely say it didn't and the trooper just went on his way after letting the driver go from his illegal suspension. He didn't make any effort to figure out who the PO was and let the driver know where to issue a complaint, instead deciding to make it a wild goose chase in what could feel like an effort to defend his 'brother in blue'. Don't get me wrong, the trooper did seem genuine, but I do still feel like he grossly downplayed the situation.
Illegal detainment (or false imprisonment depending on local law wording), not kidnapping. There's a legal distinction between them, kidnapping requires the victim to be moved to another location after being detained. Both are crimes, but variable punishment.
@@Vincent_Beers Well one time i wouldn't let my autistic friend leave my house for his own safety he called the police & they said that its kidnapping. He came to my house of his own accord 🤣
I have a policy, never pull over for anyone who merely flashes a badge from what looks like a POV. If their concerns are legitimate, they can radio/call for a marked unit. I’d be perfectly within my reasonable right to do so. Once a market unit shows up and flips those lights, I’m Mr Cooperative.
What's wrong with that is you would prolly be taken out of the car by gun point and placed under arrest cops are snakes none are good until they get caught and they stop its best to know the laws and they will be in yoir pocket when you tell them the law and that you know the law of the state
@@randypogue9293 - Not true. A person could claim that they did not see the badge, keeping their eyes on the road or that the badge could be faked. A person can get badges that looke like real badges or close to them to pull people over. Pulling over because you saw someone flash a badge is a good way to get robbed or killed.
I would never pull over in this situation. Instead, call 911 and report what’s going on and ask if it’s a legitimate officer attempting to pull you over.

All the state troopers I've ever had any interaction with were really chill with the exception of one. One tried railroading me in front of some county sheriff's and they backed him off and took me home with no infractions. Usually the county boys are the opposite.
I love how the trooper is essentially like "Look, buddy...you're in the right. Mr big bad probation officer is on a power trip. Sorry our time has been wasted sir." 🤣😂
Even though this officer is obviously drunk on his own importance, he still sees himself as the good guy. Tyranny is completely dependent upon the ignorance of those in authority.

Oh 100% or that could be and probably will be used against him in a lawsuit. Especially if the driver was pissed off enough to sue em.

So glad this post acknowledges the professional conduct of the state trooper! I don't believe that most experienced LEOs are tyrannical, seeking to violate the rights of the citizens they encounter. Some do seem to be addicted to IDing people no matter if it is necessary or not. I tip my hat to the LEOs with this professional attitude. I have seen it myself.

I’m shocked nothing happened to him at all. He should be charged and lose his job imo. He abused his power greatly
He doesn't have any power that's the problem lol
The penalty for violating someone's civil rights isn't taken seriously enough here in the states. If it was, this wouldn't happen.
The overwhelming majority of police work consists of bullying unwanted interactions with citizens not in need of protection, service, or assistance to force their participation in a racketeering conspiracy with the bar associations wherein they will plead guilty regardless of their innocence or any bad action like a speed trap. Police use dishonorable methods to racketeer work for themselves and their partners and make constant use of trickery and deception to void rights they know citizens are entitled to.

@Mike Smith I didn't make the comment you were confused by. Don't tell me that I don't know how to make proper sentences when you don't know how to read usernames. "The guy" was the object in the original sentence that the responding comment referred to, and "impersonating" was the verb associated with the object.

This dude is way more calm than me, I would’ve left the second I figured out he wasn’t a cop
Same, I am not subject to a Probation Officer so as soon as he said that I'd have repeated it for clarity and then rolled up my window and went on my way. He was driving under the speed limit so what's he going to do, burn rubber to catch up? And then what? Complain to his boss that his bogus stop failed?
he did have a pistol though, so if he was unhinged enough to think that he had the authority to stop someone, i wouldn't put it past him to open fire on their car.

Sounds like a NYS probation fraud named Tom Narroway, the cokehead.
If anything, complain the idiot was in the fast lane driving slow! He's passive aggressive wanting to start something and he did.
Tbh I would’ve kept driving . The fact that he signaled with his hands to pull over just shows he didn’t have the authority to pull anyone over.
for real!
Yeah but knowing how things work, the PO would have called it in as a man “threatening“ him while driving and dude would have been arrested with guns drawn on just the POs word because he is an “officer of the court” and we all know they never lie… 🙄
The issue is, he could say you tried to hit him and he could then justify deadly force.
@Joe Will THIS 100%!!! I mean, kinda sounds like common sense, but there's so much "wtf am I supposed to do" these days, esp in that kind of situation. But that was my first thought... I would keep going and just call 911 and ask if they have someone reporting me. If not, I would make sure this person stays within my sight until a cop shows up. ESP if driving through the desert.

Can't have any innocent fun anymore...gotta worry about being murdered just from a traffic stop, whether it's by a legitimate cop or a psychopath... and/or that's usually the same thing! :(
@Joe Will The trooper tolerated it just fine, even to the point of believing him on his accusation. The cop wasn't there to witness it so he couldn't do anything about it, he still let the guy go who was impersonating the officer.

He let the guy that pulled an illegal traffic stop just walk away, and then ATA gives him an A+ ? ATA's grades are AWFUL !
No question of it. I watched it several times. The second time he even catches himself and stumbles, changes his wording. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing, he knew he was breaking the law, exceeding his authority, and violating the rights of the unlawfully detained driver. He knew exactly what he was doing, and deliberately and carefully played weasel word games, semantics, and beat around the bush. Hopefully he'll be held accountable for this. Can't say as I'm holding my breath, but he damn well OUGHT to be fired for this. I'd bet money this piece of work probably couldn't meet the requirements to be a police officer, but just barely squeaked by the ones for probation dept, and has spent the length of his employment pretending to be a real cop. I'd love to see the results of a psych eval on this jerk.
I would have asked three times, "am I being detained" No answer? Drive away
The officer knew exactly what what he was doing. He wouldn’t say the word “detained” because he knew he didn’t have the authority.
6:48 “evidently you are being detained”
He did actually say it...eventually. I see his failure to repeat that when asked (because the civilian didn’t hear it when he said the above) as evidence more of that passive aggressive/condescending attitude many cops exhibit in these videos.
Like he’s a teacher or parent of a 6 year old saying “well if you had just listened to me you’d know and so I’m not repeating myself to the likes of you”.
As a side note, I’m not sure why this is so prevalent amongst cops in the US. I’m from Australia and I’ve literally never seen/heard of/experienced this kind of attitude from cops here. In normal traffic stops everyone is pleasant to each other so long as the other person is pleasant back. Never seen a cop (or fake cop,’as in this situation) pull someone over and immediately be aggressive, rude and condescending. Then again, we also don’t have plagues of people getting killed by cops either.

I agree. That's why I think that the Trooper failed to take action against the PO right then and there on his road.
If you look at the smug look on the guys face, you can tell this isn't his first time running someone off the road.
He created the situation in which he shared his fearful feelings with the trooper. 45 is the minimum speed to be on a state highway? Cruising under 50 in the left lane is asking for it. This man leaves home an hour early just to encite road rage in people who hit the snooze button three times that morning.

@@joaosouza3860 The PO never said he was being detained, but also told him he was not free to leave, so in an indirect manner told him he was being detained.

He didn't hesitate, and he knew exactly how to fudge and twist things to avoid self incrimination. In court he would have said, "I never said I was a police officer, and never said he was detained. He was free to go at any time." But outside court, he will never specify whether someone is being detained or not or whether he is an actual officer or not.

Not if they don't have qualified immunity.
Which is why OP mentioned the incident being "outside the scope of his authority"
Qualified Immunity, which protects LEOs from personal liability when conducting their official duties, doesn't apply to actions outside their official duties.
No taxpayer dollars would be at risk. Only grandpa PO's.
You could even consider it recovering taxpayer money, since every dollar that PO possessed was taxpayer dollars to begin with.
@@aennaenn7468 Partially correct. Qualified Immunity ONLY applies to those actions where the LEO's actions were not "well established" to the point a "reasonable person/officer" would know that by engaging in that action, they were violating someone's constitutional rights. Example: when the Taser was first introduced, no case law existed governing it's use so people were being tased multiple times or it was employed when it should not have been. Now, case law exists that has delineated when, where, and how the Taser may reasonably be employed without violating someone's constitutional rights. However, these rulings are constantly evolving as individuals affected by police actions sue them and courts rule their actions were unconstitutional.
In this case, a reasonable person (the probation officer) should certainly have known he did not have the requisite statutory authority to effect a traffic stop on a motorist, thereby violating his 4th Amendment rights, simply to lecture him on his driving. However, unless there has been case law on the specific point of a probation officer stopping a motorist, in NC, a court may find the agency has QI but the PO might not. Still stupid on the part of the PO and ridiculous.
@@thegman2484

love the trooper being confused as much as the driver about what's going on, that's like straight off of a comedy skit
Anyone for a round of "Who's on First?"
Maybe the trooper should have called in a Senior Officer to reprimand the Parole Officer. I've never heard of a PO doing such... smh
You can tell he was dumbfounded, like wtf was this PO thinking?
Trooper was like It's a first for me, too.
I don't think he was confused. The trooper was having an "Oh F**k" moment because he knew the PO had violated the driver's rights for over 30 minutes and was hoping he could just smooth it over. Trooper should have placed the PO under arrest as soon as he determined what happened. While the trooper was cordial, he failed at his job.....just another "aw shucks....don't mind Bubba over there" moment. Acted all proud telling the driver he wasn't going to write him up for anything. Talk about Gaslighting!
This is the exact kind of video I was asking you about in a comment I made on another one of your videos. Thank you for shedding objectivity on law enforcement and not just painting all of law enforcement as bullies and thugs like the majority of TH-cam and social media in general.
The probation officer needs to be charged with impersonating a police officer. There needs to be accountability rather than just "we'll look into it." No. You can get away with that if it hasn't come to the People 's attention of police misconduct. I think it's pretty damn obvious that's no longer the case, on a National level. Now there needs to start being prosecutions. The People are the one's in charge, here. Not the government and it's executive personnel
Driver should of placed him under Citizens Arrest for Impersonating and Unlawful Detainment. (kidnapping).
The comment needs more attention youre 100% . I dont hate cops but stuff like this needs to be corrected .
Yesss.... Imagine if that man had taken off after being detained and the PO shooting him for taking off. smh It's too much.
I agree and I strongly sissagree with the A+ the trooper got because he didn't arrest the PO like an honest cop would have. I give the trooper an F.
@Mountains Are the Shattered Teeth of God Yeah, well; The People have been encouraged to think of themselves as helpless. As subjects of a distributed monarch. The just need someone to wake them up to the realization that they have the real power. This incident didn't immediately result in the DOJ indicting people? Oust anyone that was in a position to do something and didn't. Vote in new politicians running on a campaign for prosecuting anyone involved with the incident that could do something and did nothing. Public officials get complacent and corrupt when The People don't (figuratively) demand heads.
Isn't this impersonation of a police officer?
Flashed a badge to make a stop, without the authority to do so.
And what qualified immunity does he have?
That’s a good question. I don’t think it would be impersonating a LEO because he never identified himself as a police office (at least not in the video) and the badge that he flashed was a legitimate badge that was issued to him. However, he did not have the authority to conduct a traffic stop nor detain the individual. It’s definitely illegal detainment which he should be brought up charges as well as terminated. As far as qualified immunity if he isn’t considered a LEO I wouldn’t think he had any.
No qualified immunity because he should know what his job description is.
@@bsmith2258 If you look at the Jeremy Dewitte videos, he never identifies himself as a police officer but his appearance and actions got him charged with impersonation. This situation isn't much different.

QI would be dependent on his mistake. If he believed he had authority, and that belief was reasonable, he’s covered. Nobody here can answer that. It’s a question for the court.

Love this trooper! My favorite cousin in a Texas trooper and acts like a Human just like this trooper did. Yes A+ to this trooper❤
I work in law enforcement and the reason he won't answer his question if he's being detained is because the P.O knows what he's doing is not legal. I was on a call similar to this once. A constable pulled over a woman for speeding and kept her there until I showed up. The Constable demand I give the woman a citation for speeding and also a citation for her not showing him her driver's license. That's when I pulled him to the side and explained how things really work. I told him the only person who might get a citation today would be him for the illegal stop he made.
Yeah and I'm sure you were a good Ole boy and let go with no consequences
@@nikoblue3544 if you're asking if I gave him a citation that day the answer is no I did not. I did write up a report which was send to the district attorney to see if they wanted to file charges on the man. After investigations into the incident the constable was suspended without pay for 3 months.

Someone wearing a badge that feels slighted because a vehicle passed them shouldn't be wearing a badge. My money is on the fact that this isn't the first time he conducted a traffic stop and flexing his power.
If the vehicle didn't have lights I'd have kept going. If there were lights I'd have pulled over and the moment I saw they weren't a police officer and refusing to identify I'd leave. At that point I have zero proof they are an actual officer and would presume they are illegally impersonation an officer and are trying to rob or harm me.
I would not have ask if I was being obtained after I found out he was only a probation officer Id of drove off
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE FEMALE!
There are PREDATORS out there.
I think that’s a great piece of advice for all of us in any similar situation
I would also assume I'm in danger without those things.
No chance i stop for a vehicle with no lights and, like you, the moment he said he was a corrections officer, im driving away.
Probation officer should be fired... tyrants should never be left in any position with even the tiniest bit of power once they are found out to be tyrants....
He'll get promoted down there. Backwards rules.
And yet, so many of them gravitate towards just those sorts of jobs. If only there was a reliable and valid measure of their propensities to enable a selection program to identify them.
Why this arrogant probation officer thinks he is required to be listened to is absurd
Pure comedy..."when a real police officer gets here." 😂😄
You mentioned a very very important detail about whenever cops call on higher authority to show up they always shown up immediately ready to take the side of the fellow officer which to some degree as far as safety is understood but they show up almost like a ‘im going to call your dad in here to bust your ass’ type of situation and they show up ready to be the big tough guy that shows up to handle business rather than showing up as a blank slate ready to hear all sides and conduct themselves as a professional so I think this is incredibly important and they should always show up with the possible idea that their lower ranked officers could be wrong and they shouldn’t automatically side with the officers. It’s just so important. Thank you for bringing this to the front of our attention. It’s commendable what that man did
He should be arrested for impersonating a police officer. Conduct unbecoming, abuse of power. What a tyrant
I don't think you can say that someone who isn't a police officer was engaged in conduct unbecoming of a police officer though. Conduct unbecoming of a man maybe.

I would have asked to press charges for false imprisonment.
He should've, but we both know nothing would've happened.
Would it not be kidnapping?
He wasn't being "imprisoned" falsely, he was being "detained" falsely. Big difference. A detainment can constitute something as simple as a cop walking up to you and asking you a few questions regarding a crime that happened nearby. And imprisonment is when you've not only been handcuffed and led to a jail, but were charged by a prosecutor of the state and falsely found guilty. Depending on the state, you technically haven't been imprisoned until you've been found guilty by a court of law and issued a sentence, even if you had already spent time prior to that in jail awaiting a trial or court hearing.
There are no good cops. Only bad cops, and cops who protect bad cops.

I'd like to hear the 911 call.
It would be interesting to hear how the operator referred to the PO and what their instructions were.
Is 911 part of the state police or a separate government agency?
Then get shot for no reason?
@@the-btc-tradingfloor2808 not saying you should, but in this case, he wasn't being detained. The parole officer himself did not state that he was being detained. So our driver here could've/should've driven away. If the PO pursuit and fire upon our driver, that would be attempted homicide or God forbid homicide. And if our driver here defends himself, I would also assume the court would state that it was a reasonable act of self defense since the PO was blatantly overstepping his bounds and abusing his authority. But I will also say, this is with hindsight and knowing that the stop was unlawful, it's always better to settle in court than on the streets, you wouldn't need to make assumptions.
I never would have pulled over, let the cops pull you over later if he is really able to but Fukkk that I don't care what state it is!
“Sir….. I don’t really know what we’re doing right here…🤨”

Can’t imagine how he treats the people on probation he is in charge of.
I'd bet he actually treats them pretty well, due to the large amount of oversight the job has. So he has to take out all his frustration on random people instead.
I wondered that same thing
The driver was unlawfully detained by this probation officer, high on ego!!!🙄🥺🙌🏾
@etherraichu Idk about your state but I've seen plenty of probation officers that grossly abuse their power
I thought the same thing. Not only is he an insufferable prick, he also likely sucks at his job.
“you’re expert on speed how fast was that car going” 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I promise that brought tears to my eyes.
And the driver was right: They were in much more danger parked on the shoulder than they were due to an alleged accusation of a traffic violation. (No emergency lights on either vehicle.)
About as fast as a dozen donuts flying into Mashburns mouth. So around 105mph give or take a few mph.
@@sludge4125 This. Roadside collisions are iirc the #1 cause of officer deaths. It's also the #1 cause of tow truck driver deaths, and likely a major contributor to EMS and the like.
I drove a tow truck for a short while, and the lights we have are a huge double edged sword. They kind of help, get people to pay attention, but just as often they're a target for drunks to aim for. Additionally driver will buzz you (and I'm not exaggerating) at about 5-6" from the door of your truck to their mirror (and I had coworkers in the short time I worked there lose mirrors by these drivers).
Being roadside is absolutely, 100% terrifying. When you have to do it, you do your best to get that car hooked up, and off the shoulder as fast as possible.
It has gotten so bad, that here in Oregon it is illegal to not change lanes, or go at least 10mph under the marked speed limit when ANY vehicle has signs of distress. This means everything from flashing hazard lights, all the way up to full on beacons from any and all service vehicles.

It's commendable to see honesty and integrity in action within law enforcement. We need more examples like this trooper.
Imagine, just imagine the colossal, overwhelming and unjustified abuse of his authority that his parolees have to deal with.
He can lose his job for an infraction like that, seriously. Totally overstepping his authority.
sure, and politicians can get in trouble for insider trading
they dont tho
I am a firm believer in Law & Order so long as the door swings both ways and the truth be told through the whole process,
That's what should have happened, but I guess the cop feels like probation officers are part of the blue line gang so that's not going to happen. Government backs government, they are your enemy.
I HOPE he gets fired. If there was someone we could all contact, I think we should to express our opinions on this video.
Can only hope so
Why did he even talk to that guy, as soon as i would’ve seen he was a probation officer i woulda pulled right off lol
100%
Am I the only one to notice the gun on his belt. Here is a power tripping old man who thinks he's a cop living out some fantasy. You really believe that he wouldn't shoot you if you tried to drive off from his "Legal traffic stop"?
At the end of the video, it says in some states probation officers do have this authority... it is a case of better safe than sorry.
Reminds me of a time some friends and I lucked out on some cumnuggets that thought their off duty security job gave them authority on the next parking lot over. They just busted out a window and we ditched them. Never actually identified themselves and it was hard to see with light refracting off water drops on the windows, pretty sure it was the rent a cops trying to interrupt our blunt rolling session after our grand feast.
EXACTLY.
Besides, the citizen-driver could have been a victim of a hold-up. This wouldn't be the first time someone impersonating a police officer was actually a criminal.
I am an Alabama Probation and Parole Officer. Everyone employed as an officer is fully sworn as a State Law Enforcement Officer. We have full arrest powers. We have certain guidelines to follow though. We can make traffic stops but again we have certain criteria to follow. Our primary duties is to enforce court and parole board guidelines. I know some states aren’t fully sworn law enforcement but some are especially Alabama. We have lights, sirens, cages etc…
Just imagine what the people on probation have to go through with this guy, he needs to be fired and never allowed to do anything inside the criminal justice system ever again.
Exactly
jail time for breaking the law
The minute I find out this guy isn't an actual cop, I'm leaving.
Agreed he cannot arrest you nor have you arrested soooo he's waaaaaay out if his League!!!
Yeah, no way I'm sitting there with some lunatic for half an hour. He might be a serial killer or something.
As "confused" as Parole Officer Mashburn was(is?), he could easily have believed he had authority to shoot if he was "disobeyed."
That's why it's so very necessary for him to spend some time in an orange jumpsuit--to make it perfectly clear, to him, firstly, and to others, that they are NOT the tin gods they imagine themselves to be.
Yea, that's a great way of getting in trouble in some places (as explained in the video) lol... Depending where one is anyone can pull over/stop another and wait for the police. It's so rarely done because the person who pulls the other over can get into trouble if it turns out to be falsely done against the other. Think of it as an unlawful arrest just because it's unlawful doesn't mean you can resist it as you'd still have a good chance of getting charged for resisting...
Lol you would a pulled over? Lmfao if there ain't no lights in ignoring em
I wouldn’t have stayed pulled over after realizing he had no authority to detain me or conduct a stop
Staying pulled over is the right thing to do. Argue it in court later or file a complaint/lawsuit, but if someone is flashing a badge running from them is much more likely to end with bad consequences to you. Take this situation, the probation officer is under investigation and the guy lost half an hour of his day. If he just pulls back onto the road then he potentially has to answer for fleeing the scene, might antagonize the actual officers who come to stop him, and might end up with severe legal consequences if the probation officer actually is a full police officer.
I wouldn't have stopped, at least not there. Who knows who he is......could've been some crazy dude impersonating a cop, which, in a way, he is.
Wrong as shown in the video hes in a state whose laws he may not know fully. If parole officers had the right to make a traffic stop in that state then youd be fleeing. So best to sit and wait. More of these idiots need to realise we all have cameras in our picketa these days.
The underlining story of this is. That parole officer thought that the cop would back him up and stitch this poor bloke. Corrupt
@@PHARAOH-ZODIAC Exactly right. Without any lights at all, there is no reason to think you have to pull over.
Best part was when he asked fake probation cop if he knew how fast the car that went by was going.... That was exactly like something I would say. I love it!
"I'm wound up and you're unwinding me..." What a brilliant interaction.
the trooper looks like he knows how to DEESCALATE a situation. good for him!
The trooper deserves a commendation! I liked the almost laugh he gave the driver. It was a "yeah, I know. Sorry about the inconvenience. Thank you for not making this worse" look.
That's what sets Troopers apart from other categories of law enforcement.
The second I saw he was a probation officer and wouldn't identify himself, I am moving on. He can role play with someone else.

How many people has this guy done this to in the past? Its not the first time and he should be punished. Shouldn't have that job either
I was thinking the same thing, I get stuck behind slow people all the time going 35mph in a 55mph zone and then when a passing lane comes up they floor it to 65mph so you can’t pass legally, then slow back down, same as the tards on the interstate going 50-65mph in the left lane while in a 70MPH zone and won’t move out of the way!
it's annoying as fuck when people drive slow on the left lane. have some respect and courtesy for the other drivers, you don't own the whole fucking road. you can drive as slow as you want, i don't care, just stay in the right or middle lane. nobody's saying you can't drive slow, just do it in the other lanes where there's other ppl also driving slow

He can get some easy pocket money if the other guy says he's detained.

My concern here is, this probation officer was in actuality impersonating a police officer. We don’t know if he was disciplined for his actions or not, but we do know that if it were you or me impersonating a police officer we would have ended up in handcuffs. Ordinary citizens most certainly are treated differently.
While I agree that the police officer was very polite and addressed the situation fairly well, I personally wouldn't give him an A+ because he completely ignored an unlawful stop and detention by the parole officer, instead seeming to choose to give him a pass instead and even went as far as to defend the PO to the driver. Granted we don't really know if it persisted outside the stop towards the PO, but judging by his demeanour I would safely say it didn't and the trooper just went on his way after letting the driver go from his illegal suspension. He didn't make any effort to figure out who the PO was and let the driver know where to issue a complaint, instead deciding to make it a wild goose chase in what could feel like an effort to defend his 'brother in blue'.
Don't get me wrong, the trooper did seem genuine, but I do still feel like he grossly downplayed the situation.
guy with a gun that tells you you cannot leave. sounds like a kidnapping.
Illegal detainment (or false imprisonment depending on local law wording), not kidnapping. There's a legal distinction between them, kidnapping requires the victim to be moved to another location after being detained. Both are crimes, but variable punishment.

@@TstanDa-Man guilty as charged
@@blahblahsaurus2458 it was a mini troll with a little truth comment and have to say I respect the fact you didn’t come back with an aggressive response. Very mature of you 👍🏼
"Have I been detained?"
"You are have been stopped."
He answered like a real politician.
The fact that this 'officer' is willingly recording everything is hilarious. I'm guessing that at least 90% of that could be used against him in a lawsuit...?
Oh 100% or that could be and probably will be used against him in a lawsuit. Especially if the driver was pissed off enough to sue em. I mean I would because he was obviously being a dick and wasting time.. ignorant ass people like that are the reason people don’t like law enforcement nowadays, that and shootings, whether they are justified or not. It’s usually a lose lose situation everytime. Sad, sad world right now with that shit
A Lawsuit on this would be 100 percent winnable.
100%
“You’re a master of speed, how fast was that guy going” having a real laugh, what a legend.
The accent made it even better
When you hear "officials are investigating" it means absolutely nothing is being done.
Sadly.
Before I worked at my local jail I probably would have disagreed with you but after seeing how the "sausage is made" if this guy is friends with a higher up or he's somebody's favorite you are absolutely correct.
So glad this post acknowledges the professional conduct of the state trooper! I don't believe that most experienced LEOs are tyrannical, seeking to violate the rights of the citizens they encounter. Some do seem to be addicted to IDing people no matter if it is necessary or not. I tip my hat to the LEOs with this professional attitude. I have seen it myself.
THAT PROBATION “OCIFFER” SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR IMPERSONATING A REAL OFFICER.
Yes yes yes. No exceptions. Arrested for impersonating an officer.Even cops think probation agents are retards
Jeremy DeWitt is probably kicking himself for not becoming a probation officer.
What irony would it be if he had to be on probation himself.
Probation officer arrested and put on 2 years probation.
What's an ociffer?
It's crazy dangerous on breakdown lanes with our highways. This probation officer should
be fired.
Pisses me off so much when officers use their authority illegally. It also pisses me off that other officers aren't as outraged as I am about it.
i'm angrier at that guy for sitting there on the side of the road because some nobody pulled him over, he knew he was being illegally detained and instead of driving off he sat there wasting his time talking to that guy's fat stomach
Hes a patty mayo cop bro...
