I forgot to add the illegal search that took place when the SGT. stuck his hands in the kids pockets. There was no arrest made so there was no search incident to arrest foundation met, making the search that was conducted a 4th Amendment rights violation. This Kid showed cops how it should be done. Good to see but sad at the same time.

[@Dirk_the_Daring]

Don't forget the assault and kidnapping by the cops. They had no legal basis for their actions. Therefore, their actions were illegal. When cops start getting arrested for their crimes, they will stop.

[@billconley4239]

Something I noticed as well.. Police cannot go into your pockets. There was ZERO doubt in my mind this was an arrest. SAM(Police moron #1) was ready to take him to jail and the Sgt was too.. The SGT also delayed his release and continued to detain the Young man so he could "talk to him". As if that an exception to holding someone..

[@rayh592]

That wasn't a search, it was a sexual assault on a minor.

"I'm not going to argue with you" basically means "I don't have a valid answer to your question."

[@Love-hf8fk]

That Sgt is gaslighting him hard to get out of their mistake. Gaslighting is one of the worst things abusers do to people. And then demanding he talk to the police when he has a 5th amendment right to remain silent is just unprofessional.

Copsplaining that the kid was doing everything wrong when he actually realises it was them that was doing everything wrong. He should have been offering an apology.

[@duanevp]

I like how they have to cuff him, put him in the car, and THEN discuss how what he was doing was not illegal. Also am amused how every time they say "I'm not going to argue with you," it's because they HAVE BEEN arguing with them up to that point and clearly are suddenly realizing they can't justify what they're doing. It is hilarious that from their perspective you are not expected to know your rights, and if you exhibit any signs that you DO know your rights, rather than PRAISING you for being educated - as all citizens ought to be - you are instead excoriated for being pretentious, NOT KNOWING YOUR PLACE (which is far below their thumbs), and knowing more than they believe is good for you. Then, even when they let you go because they are wrong, they have to extend their detention of you so that they can gaslight you, lecture you extensively about how sky is blue and EVER questioning authority is BAD, and try to make you believe that it wasn't really the cops who were wrong, but YOU who were wrong somehow, even though you weren't and they have to let you go BECAUSE you weren't.

Real crimes ignored... but a kid with a camera gets harassed? Seriously... that's ridiculous!

[@marklindsey579]

I'm sure they're out there, maybe, but I have yet to see a cop with a law degree. Then they want to ask citizens where did they get their law degree. Do they think 6 months of officer safety school gives them a law degree. Do they think that a citizen cant read and learn their rights on their own? This is cop logic at it finest

[@xmarine73]

There isn't a single cop in the US who has gone through EIGHT years of university to turn around and become or remain a law enforcement officer. The diligence it takes to get a law degree, the money it requires to get that education, and the disparity in pay between an attorney and a cop is substantial enough to prevent someone with a degree like that from wearing a badge as their day job.

[@NeverTalkToCops1]

No, there are zero lawyers who are cops.

[@kingmichaeln1]

I doubt they want to law school, but some probably got a degree in criminal Justice lol which only cover the surface of the law in the United States

[@joeymadding3788]

You should see this department for $ 500000 a minute for violating your civil rights and kidnapping

[@mitchellsmith4339]

The tyrant will do anything to make an arrest.

[@bonerforest96]

"You don't just get to do whatever you want." This cop needs a mirror

[@chouck0101]

Hope he sues the shit out of that department. Everything they did is unlawful.

This is a son any father would proud of God bless this young man intelligent

[@user-zu4ry8bt4c]

He knows it’s not illegal, but they still want to charge him with something. Appalling.

[@Salvaticus]

IMO it’s conspiracy to commit a kidnapping

[@gypsytarot333]

Disdain personified. The way he talks to a kid vs his employee. He knew the kid was right the entire time still chose to be a ego-driven narcissistic a - hole . Yay .

[@luisvalverde3658]

This was a master class by this kid.

[@dad2trips52]

So, did anyone notice how the Sgt. treated the female officer the same way the young man treated him, asking legitimate questions but not getting a straight answer? It's amazing the Sgt. didn't shut it down right off the bat especially due to his questioning of the officer. Unbelievable!

[@chappyperspiration5520]

this kid needs to sue, because these cops can not interrogate a minor without parental supervision. plus the blatant violation of his 4th amendment when the cop took everything out of his pockets

[@kevinjones2667]

The kid is well within his rights and doing nothing wrong n the state attorney cant do shit for this.

[@adriannag7974]

Neither of these cops listened to this young man…. Shameful the both of em.

[@berrymucuckiner4890]

There isn’t much a police office cannot make worse… There is ABSOLUTELY nothing a female officer cannot make worse! Time and time again facts make more facts!

[@tomc.4860]

These cops really taught this kid some respect. They lied cheated and did whatever they could to ruin this young man's life so let's hope he doesn't decide to go on a tirade to get justice. I hope he goes to law school and spends his life suing cops .
