There's another video on the channel where a 1st amendment auditor gets rightfully arrested for precisely that, except in a school. There's a lot of public properties that are not open to the general public at all, or restricted in some way. There is a lot of grey area here.
There is an epidemic of entitlement among public employees, not just cops. Many of them don't think of themselves as public servants but as our masters.
There's nothing wrong with the use of a possessive pronoun by itself. It frequently means affiliation, not ownership (e.g., this is my high school, this is hometown, this is my block). When the tone/context strongly imply ownership and control, that's another matter.
You should see him when he catches a speeder driving through town. That's a major bust for him. He's got the driver out of the car, hands and legs spread, ready to fire his taser. He loves getting to play with his taser.
I cannot understand why cops still act this way when thousands of videos exist like this showing them how wrong they are. I guess ego supersedes the law with most these corrupt tyrants.
Definitely ego and the fact that they very rarely receive consequences for their behavior. They get to retire, or they resign & get hired by another department to terrorize people in other cities. We get to pay their bills.
They actively avoid seeing the videos or learning. If they have foreknowledge they can't claim the ignorance needed to try to retain their QI. QI has actively made cops dumber.
EPA and BATFE think the same way and are largely right. A SC justice in a dissent said something to the effect that there are so many traffic laws the police can almost always find a reason to pull you over.

What is more shocking is that he had clearly called a judge to get advice, and that advice was go ahead and arrest him. Judges need to be looked into as well
the judge didnt have the full story, he has a chief calling about a "distrbance" since that judge works with that cops they trust him. Don't blame the judge, he cant magically have eyes through a phone call or immediately read the cops mind.
He resigned to save his certification. If he gets fired, then he can’t go work somewhere else at another department. Thanks to qualified immunity the city pays a separation settlement and he goes to another town or state and cost the taxpayers money there. The fact that we continue to pay for substandard services is frightening.🇺🇸
resigning needs to not be a offered as a way out for officers under investigation. They should be forced to sit and let it, and if they are fired then so be it.
I get what you're saying. Resigning does look better but if youre fired by a police department you can immediately be hired by another department. At least in the state of Georgia. Police misconduct should be regarded in a harsher manner in my humble opinion as my tax dollars fund these precincts. I would feel safer if our officers had more hours prior to the service of the people and communities.
Maybe he resigned due to the multiple domestic violence call about him. And being involved with the mother of a young boy he was “mentoring” From the news report: Reports show that the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office responded to several domestic incidents that involved Middleton and his wife, but it wasn’t confirmed if those incidents led to his resignation.
He resigned due to DV calls, which is entirely unrelated to his general incompetence. Good to see who rises in the ranks though. Always helpful to see what is valorized in law enforcement.
Honestly, I really liked that he started with this "nice guy" persona, and carried it admirably throughout the encounter. He didn't bring this on by acting sketchy.
It's amazing to me how many police, especially a chief of police, actually think that any order they give is lawful and expect willful and complete compliance!
It's interesting to watch it play out. The thought that he can be told no, has clearly never even crossed his mind, and he is so taken aback by the notion, he doesn't know how to respond to it.
@@TheArmchairrocker The number of judges that think they can alter a mortgage agreement, from the bench is astounding. They regularly try to divide property, having no clue that it doesn't change the mortgage contract.

There are quite literally no requirements for a town to establish a police force or the training and qualifications of those police employees in the USA -- multiplied by thousands of these podunk departments across the US.
I think he knows he's just lying and trying to convince what he sees as a gullible young man to just comply without question just because he doesn't like what he's doing.
Never put it past the police officer to Target someone with a camera who's doing nothing but walking around looking at the very plaques and information that's put up for the public
He didn’t care about the camera and everything in the public view, he said he could not go past a certain point that it was a restricted area. Whether or not that was correct or a reason to stop him, saying that he trespassed him because he was “filming plaques in the walls” is incorrectly stating what happened in the situation.
Amazing. One of the best videos you've ever posted. Perfect grades. The chief needs to have his police license revoked. This is why I watch this channel.

@@littlej812he's just recording. The fact that simply recording in a publicly funded building is enough to turn someone into an auditor shows how bad policing is.
They fought it because it was an expensive alternative 10 years ago , and it interrupts the privacy of officers, since officers aren’t “suppose to” turn the camera off during most situations. Making it so officers have to be more careful with their words otherwise they’d be scrutinized by their department.
That's pretty naive to think that way. What's happening here is not a case of stupidity but a case of massive ego problems. He knows the laws and rules just fine but he can't ever let a civilian get the better of him. So he makes rules up to allow him to gain control.
I think the biggest problem with these officers is that they don't know how to let anything go. They have a goal in mind as soon as they see a situation. It's a dangerous mindset, and it dehumanizes the people they interact with.
@@ryanyeager3258 There is no evidence to support that. It's an audit. The officer could have easily followed the law like he's supposed to, then there would be no problems, and this could have been a positive video.
In the words of the Supreme Court, “[n]othing in the Constitution requires the Government freely to grant access to all who wish to exercise their right to free speech on every type of Government property without regard to the nature of the property or to the disruption that might be caused by the speaker’s activities.” The Supreme Court has recognized that the government, “no less than a private owner of property, has power to preserve the property under its control for the use to which it is lawfully dedicated.” Cornelius v. NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund, Inc., 473 U.S. 788 (1985).
I feel bad for everyone that thinks that these auditors are actual good people. They’re privileged losers that get off on getting people fired and having lawsuits. They might as well be rats.
“Okay, that’s fine.” And that’s precisely the problem. Cops don’t care if you “sue them” because they never have to pay. At some point, settlement for bad arrests need to come out of the department’s budget.
Just because it's public property doesn't mean it's open to the public. Try walking into an army base witihout authorization, for example. But in this case it's public property that was open to the public at the time of the "trespass". And when you deny someone entry to an area that is normally accessible to the public, you need a good reason to do so. Performing a perfectly legal 1st Amendment activity is not a good reason.
@@rodh1404that's a very good addon to explain the nuance. I don't think many people realize there are restricted sections IN public settings. Or even the example you gave.
This chief is ridiculous. People have been photographing city halls, court houses, town squares, and other places of public interest ever since the camera was invented.
He never said he was arrested for the camera, why are you making it about the camera? He was arrested for disorderly conduct and trespassing. All of which literally, have nothing to do with his camera.
@@ianbattles7290if it was about the camera the officer would’ve ceased his camera….. instead the dude decided to yell and swear in a business, which is….drum roll please…………DISORDERLY CONDUCT🎉
Why do the judges not tell the police in court, under oath, that when they say "go on, sue" that it's the tax payer and city that pays, not them. Why they continue to put that forward as a threat because it's empty, as they ain't paying what the hell?
They are infuriated by the simple act of a person standing up for their rights. So it is not to far a stretch to think they go home and not enforce their will upon their families.
When I was a kid I got a ticket from a cop for not wearing a bike helmet and days later he came by my house in a residential cul de sac and gave me another ticket for just sitting on a bike. Some cops have too much time on their hands and make an us vs them mentality. And as a teenager I got in trouble smoking pot and so they made excuses to pull over my car once a week until I got a different car. I only ride a bike now because cops can't harass me as long as I have bike lights on at night.
If it makes you feel better I had 3 police agencies get rid of their bike police. The were training and riding them on a pathway after sunset with no lights, did not have noise making devices, and were riding 4 abreast and blocking the pathway. I requested that they get off the bicycles and walk them to the police station. Some started to, but the group decided they were above the law. I went to the station gave my complaint. He tried to give BS. I persisted and we went through the lawbook. He agreed that I was correct on everyone of the charges. All three departments closed the bicycle police rather than equip the bicycles properly. I think it had to do with the officers attitudes.
As a colored person who is seventeen years old in america, ive been told to never argue with police and just obey them so i dont have a problem. But im not going to listen to these tyrants actikg like children and thinking they can do anything they want. Yes i know all cops arent like this and im not going to purposely start a problem, but im also not potentially going to have my rights so blatantly violated either. Its unacceptable, and mind boggling to see the unprofessionalism portrayed by some of these officers. Know your rights, and dont let anyone bully you into thinking that those rights dont matter!
For your professor: The biggest enemy of that cause, is the plea bargain system, that permits prosecutors to threaten maximum sentences for all who are convicted, that refuse the accept the plea deal. They also threaten additional charges for the same acts, as a threat to accept their "deals". My own sister was guilty of a crime, but their case was incredibly weak. She had to choose between missing her children in prison for 2 years, or trying her luck with a threat to give her 15. She would have won her case; but who in their right mind would take that risk?
@@Hear-MeoutTwo2 Thank you for highlighting the multiple layers of prosecutorial corruption. You are correct, that the prosecutor ought to have NO ROLE, in sentencing, under any circumstances. Plea bargains benefit the state, not the accused.
@@Tijuanabill You were way too polite in your reply. Apparently, he is unaware that in most plea bargains, the prosecutor actually decides the sentence by making the plea deal with the defendant. Judges rubberstamp the plea deal and rarely deviate from the sentence agreed upon in the deal.
I’m glad that there are people like him that force a resignation. The resignation should be viewed as a complete capitulation that the Chief KNEW that he was wrong. Also, the fact that the Chief resigned should be viewed as an attempted “escape” from prosecution.
"We'll arrest them. Even if they are right, the amount of resources and effort to get the charges dropped will be a lesson to them, to never mess with us, the authority." That's how they think.
Was the Chief (who resigned in disgrace) really on the phone with a judge? If so, we need to know who this judge is so that they can be sent back for remedial training on the Constitution!
Judge didn't have the full story. Cop made it seem like there was an actual disturbance, so that's why the judge said to arrest him. I'm sure if the judge had been there, he'd be looking at the chief sideways 🤔
As always getting the story straight matters: the chief resigned due to an ongoing SLED investigation about domestic accusations against him. While this aidtor was correct in the law; he was actually only arrested once and before any civil suit he must beat that criminal case. Finally assuming he beats the disroderly charge any 1983! civil case could take years and that's it he can find an attorney to take the case. Lastly and most importantly, to what end was his behavior necessary? It's already well established law cops can be recorded and recording is allowed in public buildings subject to place , time and manner constraints. So in the end , he was arrested , with a pending charge and even if he pursues a civil suit his damages are minimal and definitely not "humongous". Other than an interesting video to watch nothing was gained by the city or citizens since the chief resigned already.
I’ve seen this one. It’s a shame that a chief doesn’t know laws. He arrested the guy for cussing lol. It’s amazing how they hire anyone to become a chief and not know the basics.
So-called "judges" are not even required to have a law degree. They could be the front desk secretary one day, and a "judge" the next. I've seen that in two towns so far.

That young man in this video has some BIG BRASS BALLS. I would never have the nerve to try and enforce my civil rights against the Chief of Police. In the public building connecting to the police station. We need people like this young man. To go around and let law enforcement agencies and officers know. That they know their Constitutional Rights and they aren’t going to put up with them being violated. I hope that these constitutionalists are doing this to mainly help in educating law enforcement. About the American Citizens Civil Rights. Not for the money they get awarded from civil lawsuits. Of course unless when their civil rights are violated. They are seriously injured. Then these Constitutionalists deserve to be awarded a lot of money from a civil lawsuit
America, where the general public is expected to have a better understanding of the law than the people who have the authority to restrict their rights.
I often remind people that police authority is impotent when issuing unlawful commands. Cops have gotten too comfortable with their authority, and We, the People have gotten complacent in allowing them to abuse their authority.
Be careful though. Not every state has the same laws as the South Carolina law book highlighted in the video. We see the videos where it all went well. When it doesn't, those videos don't get uploaded. These details state to state matter, a LOT.
@@ThatOpalGuy Well, those parts do apply in every state. But the specifics highlighted in the video, were about South Carolina law, and the video even notes some other states the laws vary slightly. Your right to not have to ID, is universal, as you say, because of the Constitution. But some of the details live on a lower level of the law, and those details can get you jailed if you are wrong about them, and take certain actions. Furthermore, sometimes the court that made a prominent decision highlighted in these videos, was a higher court, but not the SCOTUS, which means those decisions only apply to that district. If the 9th circuit makes a decision, it does you no good if you live in the 7th. At least, not by default precedent. You will have to win your own higher court case, to expand that decision, to where you live. That kind of lawyering literally costs tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

When committing a crime of any kind whether it’s considered a major or minor crime NO officer should be allowed to resign rather they should be sacked and delt with accordingly through the justice system like any one of use would be for committing a criminal act
What's funny is that the chief does to him when he blocks the door what would get us thrown in prison if we did the same thing to officers who put their foot in our doors.
Chief Middleton is no longer chief. He resigned but not because of this. "Middleton has been the subject of four domestic calls between him and his wife. The wife complained about threats in light of harassing messages about her husband cheating on her. At one point, she even went to the mayor."
American police standards are an international joke. Thank police unions and the politicians who take their money for the low hiring standards. It’s legit pathetic how many bad American cops are
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies place unqualified POC on a fast track for leadership solely because they aren’t White. Well this Chief is exactly what you get with those policies.
I love how the Chief keeps repeating “That’s fine.” when the auditor tells him how he’s violated the auditor’s rights and the consequences he’ll face for doing so. The Chief having his qualified immunity upheld is very much in doubt and losing in a civil suit is likely. However I’d be willing to bet he’s got little in the way of assets to pay up when the time comes, particularly having resigned from a paying position and being in further legal jeopardy with his domestic behavior.
This explains why Policing Training is so bad in the USA - EVEN THE CHIEF OF POLICE HAS NO IDEA ABOUT THE LAW OR CONSTITUTION so how can he provide effective training for his officers - who selected this "Chief" of police should be embarrassed
They put people in those positions who “play the game” the judge in that building or someone above the chief was probably told get that nuisance out of this building so ignoring the laws and rights of said person he went and did it to make his “boss” happy and as usual that “boss” sees no consequences. Its how the world works and needs to change

Chief Middleton, who is clearly either ignorant as hell or corrupt as hell, should be arrested and tried for his multiple instances of battery, false arrest, false imprisonment, and deprivation of rights under color of law.
You're totally correct! As a law enforcement officer, not only are they presumed to know the law, but they certainly should be held, AT LEAST, to the same standard as every other citizen for obeying the laws, and ignorance of the law is absolutely not an excuse for an officer of the law, even more so than for an ordinary citizen!
@@ryanyeager3258did you? he didn't do anything to justify being arrested and he was completely within his rights. he gave the chief several warnings and opportunities to behave in accordance with the law. the chief is the only criminal in this situation. arresting non-criminals for "wanting to be arrested" is a waste of resources at best and is always a crime.
Just curious under what circumstances do you not support an audit? To be an audit we have to assume no laws are being broken so under that guideline what do you not support?
@john2g1 As long as audits stick to the facts, I support it.

“My Building”…. Tells you everything you need to know..
It must be a slow ass day in that town if this is what the CHIEF OF POLICE wants to busy himself with. 😂
Seriously
You should see him when he catches a speeder driving through town. That's a major bust for him. He's got the driver out of the car, hands and legs spread, ready to fire his taser. He loves getting to play with his taser.
I'd be tempted to say it's a decent place to live if it's that quiet, but after watching this I can't in good faith say that it is. 😂
I cannot understand why cops still act this way when thousands of videos exist like this showing them how wrong they are. I guess ego supersedes the law with most these corrupt tyrants.
Definitely ego and the fact that they very rarely receive consequences for their behavior. They get to retire, or they resign & get hired by another department to terrorize people in other cities. We get to pay their bills.
I don't think it's ego, I think there are as thick as 2 short planks, & the corrupt system lets them get away with it
EZ ANSWER. Law enforment are not held accountable.
>when thousands of videos exist like this
I don't think corrupt or misinformed cops are interested in watching this type of content one bit
They actively avoid seeing the videos or learning. If they have foreknowledge they can't claim the ignorance needed to try to retain their QI. QI has actively made cops dumber.
I’m impressed with the ability to be arrested 3 times during the same instance
Had I been chief, I would have offered the young man a tour as an effort to build trust in the community.
With that sort of attitude you will never rise to chief of police. They can't have officers who actively try to help build trust with the community.
That would make waaaaaay too much sense though!
After 20 years, I guarantee that you wouldn’t do that if these kids kept annoying you with these recording devices 😂
I’ve seen so many audits who they happily do that, except for confidential areas.
Everyone walked away happily and shook hands
This is the correct answer.
Police seem to believe that anytime they WANT to arrest someone, there is ALWAYS a way to APPLY the law creatively to do so.
EPA and BATFE think the same way and are largely right. A SC justice in a dissent said something to the effect that there are so many traffic laws the police can almost always find a reason to pull you over.

What is more shocking is that he had clearly called a judge to get advice, and that advice was go ahead and arrest him. Judges need to be looked into as well
Idiot judge, you'd at least expect some elementary understanding of the law.
the judge didnt have the full story, he has a chief calling about a "distrbance" since that judge works with that cops they trust him. Don't blame the judge, he cant magically have eyes through a phone call or immediately read the cops mind.

Import africa, become africa. The eternal law of nature and the realities of race.
@@ItzPubby: LOL your "excuse" is exactly why the judge should've stayed out of it. Keep licking those boots.
He resigned to save his certification. If he gets fired, then he can’t go work somewhere else at another department. Thanks to qualified immunity the city pays a separation settlement and he goes to another town or state and cost the taxpayers money there. The fact that we continue to pay for substandard services is frightening.🇺🇸
Lol well let's find what department he moves to and keep making him resign
resigning needs to not be a offered as a way out for officers under investigation. They should be forced to sit and let it, and if they are fired then so be it.
I get what you're saying. Resigning does look better but if youre fired by a police department you can immediately be hired by another department. At least in the state of Georgia.
Police misconduct should be regarded in a harsher manner in my humble opinion as my tax dollars fund these precincts. I would feel safer if our officers had more hours prior to the service of the people and communities.
Maybe he resigned due to the multiple domestic violence call about him. And being involved with the mother of a young boy he was “mentoring”
From the news report: Reports show that the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office responded to several domestic incidents that involved Middleton and his wife, but it wasn’t confirmed if those incidents led to his resignation.
He resigned due to DV calls, which is entirely unrelated to his general incompetence. Good to see who rises in the ranks though. Always helpful to see what is valorized in law enforcement.
They have the flag displayed improperly. Shows the level of disrespect in that department.

It's amazing to me how many police, especially a chief of police, actually think that any order they give is lawful and expect willful and complete compliance!
It's interesting to watch it play out. The thought that he can be told no, has clearly never even crossed his mind, and he is so taken aback by the notion, he doesn't know how to respond to it.
Some judges believe this as well.
@@TheArmchairrocker The number of judges that think they can alter a mortgage agreement, from the bench is astounding. They regularly try to divide property, having no clue that it doesn't change the mortgage contract.
I think that is born of the fact that many people DO give willful and complete compliance even if not lawful.
What amazes me is that 1A auditors keep asking this same dumb question: "Is that a lawful order?" What do they think an LEO is going to say? No? Don't ask if it is. Declare it is not.
To say “trespassing on public property” on camera is crazy 😂😂😂😂
Once again the LEO can break our laws and simply retire or resign…..zero accountability. Two tiered justice system. Sad we got here.

He didn’t care about the camera and everything in the public view, he said he could not go past a certain point that it was a restricted area. Whether or not that was correct or a reason to stop him, saying that he trespassed him because he was “filming plaques in the walls” is incorrectly stating what happened in the situation.
Amazing. One of the best videos you've ever posted. Perfect grades. The chief needs to have his police license revoked. This is why I watch this channel.

@@littlej812 lmao ok junior whatever you wanna ramble on about.
@@littlej812he's just recording. The fact that simply recording in a publicly funded building is enough to turn someone into an auditor shows how bad policing is.
They fought it because it was an expensive alternative 10 years ago , and it interrupts the privacy of officers, since officers aren’t “suppose to” turn the camera off during most situations. Making it so officers have to be more careful with their words otherwise they’d be scrutinized by their department.
One can reach the level of Chief of Police without knowing even the most basic civil rights
That's pretty naive to think that way. What's happening here is not a case of stupidity but a case of massive ego problems. He knows the laws and rules just fine but he can't ever let a civilian get the better of him. So he makes rules up to allow him to gain control.
I think the biggest problem with these officers is that they don't know how to let anything go. They have a goal in mind as soon as they see a situation. It's a dangerous mindset, and it dehumanizes the people they interact with.

"Trespassing on public property" is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard.
In the words of the Supreme Court, “[n]othing in the Constitution requires the Government freely to grant access to all who wish to exercise their right to free speech on every type of Government property without regard to the nature of the property or to the disruption that might be caused by the speaker’s activities.” The Supreme Court has recognized that the government, “no less than a private owner of property, has power to preserve the property under its control for the use to which it is lawfully dedicated.” Cornelius v.

Just because it's public property doesn't mean it's open to the public. Try walking into an army base witihout authorization, for example. But in this case it's public property that was open to the public at the time of the "trespass". And when you deny someone entry to an area that is normally accessible to the public, you need a good reason to do so. Performing a perfectly legal 1st Amendment activity is not a good reason.

@@DoogukAt the end of the video.
When I was a kid I got a ticket from a cop for not wearing a bike helmet and days later he came by my house in a residential cul de sac and gave me another ticket for just sitting on a bike. Some cops have too much time on their hands and make an us vs them mentality. And as a teenager I got in trouble smoking pot and so they made excuses to pull over my car once a week until I got a different car. I only ride a bike now because cops can't harass me as long as I have bike lights on at night.
Wait, your LEOs can give tickets to kids ? Wtf is wrong in the US ?
@@maxharvey165 Exactly, I couldn't obviously afford 2 $70 tickets. My mom had to the courthouse and fight the second ticket which she won.
If it makes you feel better I had 3 police agencies get rid of their bike police. The were training and riding them on a pathway after sunset with no lights, did not have noise making devices, and were riding 4 abreast and blocking the pathway. I requested that they get off the bicycles and walk them to the police station. Some started to, but the group decided they were above the law. I went to the station gave my complaint. He tried to give BS. I persisted and we went through the lawbook. He agreed that I was correct on everyone of the charges. All three departments closed the bicycle police rather than equip the bicycles properly. I think it had to do with the officers attitudes.
As a colored person who is seventeen years old in america, ive been told to never argue with police and just obey them so i dont have a problem.

Study the "CRIS" system. Court Registry Investment System... prepare yourself to be shocked!
For your professor: The biggest enemy of that cause, is the plea bargain system, that permits prosecutors to threaten maximum sentences for all who are convicted, that refuse the accept the plea deal. They also threaten additional charges for the same acts, as a threat to accept their "deals". My own sister was guilty of a crime, but their case was incredibly weak. She had to choose between missing her children in prison for 2 years, or trying her luck with a threat to give her 15. She would have won her case; but who in their right mind would take that risk?

@@Tijuanabill You were way too polite in your reply. Apparently, he is unaware that in most plea bargains, the prosecutor actually decides the sentence by making the plea deal with the defendant. Judges rubberstamp the plea deal and rarely deviate from the sentence agreed upon in the deal.
I’m glad that there are people like him that force a resignation.
The resignation should be viewed as a complete capitulation that the Chief KNEW that he was wrong.
Also, the fact that the Chief resigned should be viewed as an attempted “escape” from prosecution.
The chief’s resignation had nothing to do with this interaction… very disingenuous title
He was beating his wife and they were investigating him for it.
He literally warned the chief so many times.
I’ve never seen a young man own a Chief of Police so hard.
"We'll arrest them. Even if they are right, the amount of resources and effort to get the charges dropped will be a lesson to them, to never mess with us, the authority."
That's how they think.
You know they can't wait to make auditors sit in jail until trial or the charges being dropped!
Was the Chief (who resigned in disgrace) really on the phone with a judge? If so, we need to know who this judge is so that they can be sent back for remedial training on the Constitution!
Judge didn't have the full story. Cop made it seem like there was an actual disturbance, so that's why the judge said to arrest him. I'm sure if the judge had been there, he'd be looking at the chief sideways 🤔
isn't the judges are top of the chain to "steal " money from citizens by "twisting " the existing laws to gain their profits?
As always getting the story straight matters: the chief resigned due to an ongoing SLED investigation about domestic accusations against him.
While this aidtor was correct in the law; he was actually only arrested once and before any civil suit he must beat that criminal case. Finally assuming he beats the disroderly charge any 1983! civil case could take years and that's it he can find an attorney to take the case.
Lastly and most importantly, to what end was his behavior necessary? It's already well established law cops can be recorded and recording is allowed in public buildings subject to place , time and manner constraints.
So in the end , he was arrested , with a pending charge and even if he pursues a civil suit his damages are minimal and definitely not "humongous".
Other than an interesting video to watch nothing was gained by the city or citizens since the chief resigned already.

Cops have gotten too comfortable with their authority, and We, the People have gotten complacent in allowing them to abuse their authority.
Be careful though. Not every state has the same laws as the South Carolina law book highlighted in the video. We see the videos where it all went well. When it doesn't, those videos don't get uploaded. These details state to state matter, a LOT.
@@Tijuanabill which is weird because the constitution should be upheld, equally, in all states.
@@ThatOpalGuy Well, those parts do apply in every state. But the specifics highlighted in the video, were about South Carolina law, and the video even notes some other states the laws vary slightly. Your right to not have to ID, is universal, as you say, because of the Constitution. But some of the details live on a lower level of the law, and those details can get you jailed if you are wrong about them, and take certain actions. Furthermore, sometimes the court that made a prominent decision highlighted in these videos, was a higher court, but not the SCOTUS, which means those decisions only apply to that district. If the 9th circuit makes a decision, it does you no good if you live in the 7th. At least, not by default precedent. You will have to win your own higher court case, to expand that decision, to where you live. That kind of lawyering literally costs tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Chief having his qualified immunity upheld is very much in doubt and losing in a civil suit is likely. However I’d be willing to bet he’s got little in the way of assets to pay up when the time comes, particularly having resigned from a paying position and being in further legal jeopardy with his domestic behavior.

Monday morning! The first thing I need to start my week is a cup of coffee and yet another public servant violating the publics constitutional rights! Hooray!
Wow, how did I miss this video? Great content.
This kid has some confidence, balls, and is well spoken.
Balls for fishing for a lawsuit??
@@Slasher2005Balls for holding Paid Authority to account and ensuring they uphold their Laws and Policies, including the constitution the entire law was built on, properly.
Correct you there, Bootlicker.
@@Slasher2005 Balls for risking arrest and going to jail, balls for standing up to unlawful oppression, balls for making a former police chief look like a moronic bonehead, and balls for standing up for his rights and our rights. Does that help explain it to you?
@@Slasher2005 how was he fishing?
@@jonstone9741 I doubt it, but you tried!
Sadly because he was allowed to resign he'll be able to work at another police department
This kid is good. Cool, calm, and knew what he was doing. We need more auditors like him.
The scariest part of this is that he appears to be on the phone with a judge so you know that the judge is going to be corrupt as well.
I interpreted that as being him talking to the judge via his body cam.
@@PerthScienceClinic you mean like he's narrating? He's actually responding to questions though and body cams don't work like a radio. Either way, it doesn't matter because the point is that whatever judge he's talking to is also corrupt.
The judge evidently told him he can’t arrest him because the cop “undetained” him until the swearing became “breach of peace” or whatever…supposedly.
Corrupt? After a little piece of shit comes in to your job and challenges you for no reason? Are you ok?
He was not on the phone with the judge. He was talking to the body camera for when the judge views the video at a later date. Any good judge would tell the cop that they were in the wrong and that the guy was not breaking any laws filming there.
I love this guy! He was so polite and confident against the chief. Way to hold your own.
Chief resigns after investigation of domestic violence against his wife? After seeing this video, i believe it
Didn't say domestic violence
@@Dooguk "domestic incidents" golly gee, I wonder what they could possibly be inferring...🙄
@@brodrickflowers117 The intenet detectives have done their thing and it turns out it's not what you think.
Why does anyone ever go to jail *if simply quitting your job allows you to avoid the legal consequences for breaking the law?*
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight, that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced, or objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”

Right! I recently saw a video of an off duty cop was driving a marked vehicle while dressed in jeans and a tee heading to the pharmacy in a neighboring town (out of the marked vehicles town) that was stopped by a sergeant Lieutenant and a captain after someone called in reporting that the out of justification vehicle was driving erratic and took out a mail box.
*they referred to this as an ADMINISTRATIVE issue*
The off duty officer REFUSED to immediately leave with them and take a mandatory drug test!
He called for a ride to pick him up.
He admitted to not sleeping after a night shift and taking ambien and adderall.
Lol
He was fired for this
BUT WTF ANY OTHER PERSON WOULD HAVE RECEIVED AN OVI.
make it make sense
Very important for that distinction at the end, regarding resisting an unlawful arrest. Grade A content from this channel as always
This young man conducted a damn near flawless audit. Almost to the likes of Long Island Audit. He knew his stuff, as any legit auditor should before even beginning. He challenged that Chief and backed him into a corner bc even the Chief knew he was right. Once again affecting an ego arrest. Well played kid.
I couldn't stop laughing when he was taken out to the police cruiser and he just stood there literally saying "use force to make me" when asked to get in.
How many times have the public been told that ignorance of the law is not an excuse? How much more should Law Enforcement be held PERSONALLY accountable when they violate the law?!?! Chief Middleton, who is clearly either ignorant as hell or corrupt as hell, should be arrested and tried for his multiple instances of battery, false arrest, false imprisonment, and deprivation of rights under color of law.
You're totally correct! As a law enforcement officer, not only are they presumed to know the law, but they certainly should be held, AT LEAST, to the same standard as every other citizen for obeying the laws, and ignorance of the law is absolutely not an excuse for an officer of the law, even more so than for an ordinary citizen!
Did you not watch the same video this guy wanted to get arrested on purpose so he could have a court case to sue the police
@@ryanyeager3258 did the pig violate his rights? Who's fault is it the pig violated his rights? Bootlicker everywhere.
@@ryanyeager3258did you? he didn't do anything to justify being arrested and he was completely within his rights. he gave the chief several warnings and opportunities to behave in accordance with the law. the chief is the only criminal in this situation. arresting non-criminals for "wanting to be arrested" is a waste of resources at best and is always a crime.
10:05 I’m sorry but I died when he walked away filming with the handcuffs still on😂😂
Well deserved A for the auditor. Keep up the good work young lad
There are a few audits i actually support, and this kid did a great job!
Just curious under what circumstances do you not support an audit?
To be an audit we have to assume no laws are being broken so under that guideline what do you not support?
@@john2g1people who use audits just to be a dick.
@john2g1 As long as audits stick to the facts, I support it. If it's needless and endless shit talking to get a reaction just to get a fortune from the city, that's where I personally would draw the line. I use to be a bondsman. Law enforcement actually saved my life when I was trying to turn someone in to the El Paso County Jail here in Colorado. Ive worked with law enforcement many times to get criminals off the streets. However, just like any profession, there are bad apples in the group. I'm also a Marine, so upholding the oath to the Constitution is a very big thing for me. Support the good cops, fuck the bad ones.
@@john2g1 Great question, btw.
@@GamerGuts420 like cops abuse their authority 'just to be dicks'? like that?
