​@@WielkaStopa-qh1rr- It happens in the US all the time as well, which is why you need to record it yourself. I saw one case where the police actually told an ex-girlfriend of someone's that USED to live in his house, that she could kick down his door and go in and get her stuff that she left. She did just that, then the police FOLLOWED her INTO HIS HOUSE and then tased him when he got out of the shower and told them to get the hell out of his house. MAGICALLY, 3 out of 4 of the body cameras had a malfunction. Do you know how low the probability would be for that to happen??????

This is why my kid didn’t become a cop. The teacher in one of her classes told her the blue line was real and thick. If she didn’t back up another cop, even if that cop was blatantly lying, that all of her colleagues would treat her like shit and the higher ups would bully her out. She finished school and got her B. A. in criminology but didn’t go on to the academy. At first I was disappointed and thought the only way to change a f@cked up system was from the inside but with time I’ve seen that she made the right decision. I think the current climate of recording all police interactions is going to make a bigger impact than a lone good cop here and there who doesn’t last long or could get hurt or killed trying to change the system.

And even if that didn't exist (which it shouldn't), it's the taxpayers who usually foot the bill, not the cop. For cops to really be accountable, they should take out personal professional liability insurance the same as other professions do, and if they exhibit a pattern of behaviour that makes them uninsurable, then they also become unemployable.

And that is probably why the cop said he took it as a threat. They’ve been trained to say everything is a threat, that way they have legal cover if things out of hand. Again, I don’t agree with them doing it. Just saying that is how I see it playing out in court. Same with the reason for the stop. Even if his dashcam proves he didn’t cross the lines, it doesn’t prove whether the cop thought it looked like he did and will probably be ruled a valid stop in court.

How is that a threat to say "I'm your worst nightmare"? It's the worst nightmare to getting sued, and losing the job because of that. But if the cop is harassing someone and the other person saying that as a promise, it's not a threat, and definitely not a physical threat. 😕

In a world without immunity... cops wouldn't let their partners involve them in a lawsuit.

[@roberthudson1959]

Sovereign immunity is necessary for the government to function. Qualified immunity is simply an expression of the principle that we are allowed to assume that our actions are legal. The problem with the current interpretation of QI is an overly-strict definition of "precedent setting."

[@CHMichael]

@roberthudson1959 qualified immunity was created by the Supreme Court in 1967 to protect a bunch of racist cops. No one ever voted on it. It's a complete overreaching of judges ..... ultimately protecting themselves. Interesting enough it doesn't apply to doctors and other non government professions. It's the exact opposite of " ignorance of the law excuses not " Being able to declare a lawsuit frivolous should be enough protection.

[@Kaleena43]

Grade of “C” for the second officer is ridiculous. Walking the line of calling out bad behavior by other officers and not alienating oneself and getting yourself blackballed for not being “part of the team” is a fine line. He handled about as well as you could’ve handled it. Easy to say that he should’ve done this or that… but we aren’t talking about a guy getting choked out or a knee being pressed down on someone’s chest. Any officer would have real fear of losing their job for calling out this behavior in a forceful manner while being recorded.

Fully agree. Additionally, I wouldn't grant the citizen a grade of A. From a legal stand point he didn't do anything wrong, but he depicted a rather hostile attitude from the beginning of the stop. I think keeping your calm, staying friendly and still being assertive about your rights is the way to go. I doubt it would've helped with this cop, but would certainly lead to a better encounter in other traffic stops.

[@BeAsTMoDE528]

Writing a ticket in retaliatory fashion implies the guy didn’t break a law, he was going to use his discretion to ignore the ticket (as is his right as a cop) and since the guy was such an idiot and made it a whole thing, he decided to write the ticket anyway. You guys have brain damage, learn what these words mean so you don’t end up with a 500 dollar ticket for obstruction while looking dumb to anyone with an education.

And he will be written up for it. Remember the situation where a guy flipped off the cop in the driveway, so the cop radioed in that the guy threatened him and ran off? Okay, cop #2 came in guns drawn, but he was running on false information. But once he figured out what the truth was he apologized. Cop #1 was cleared, cop #2 was fired. Why was cop #2 fired? Officially for “coming in hot” but again, he was responding to a lie. He thought there was an armed guy running around threatening cops. Personally I think he was fired for telling #1 that the finger isn’t a threat, and for apologizing to a peasant.

[@sampleowner6677]

@madtabby66 I agree. I've seen instances where a cop was fired for correcting another cop. It violates the unwritten code of silence that says never snitch on a fellow cop and never correct them. They act like gang members. But now there are cases of cops being prosecuted for not doing the right thing and intervening in cases where a fellow cop is hurting someone. They can't win.

The officer actually created any perceived “threats” to officer safety by ordering the driver out of the vehicle and ordering him to stand in front of his vehicle. You don’t get to have it both ways by bringing a “threat” closer to you and then have to “control” the threat. For “officer safety”, it was safer to leave him in the vehicle.

[@JulieL96]

The officer didn’t order him out of the vehicle. He jumped out of his truck and was walking toward the officer.

Legally incorrect. An LEO has the right to order the driver out of the vehicle for no reason at all, and then is allowed to tell the occupants where to stand, etc. to ensure the safety of the officer. That is why felony suspects often end up spread-eagled on the ground.
