What made me mad is they took me to jail and charged me with a felony B&E after looking at my ID . When I went to court I handed the judge the very same ID and he immediately dismissed the case .

Well, you are not suspicious to them when you wear 30 000 dollar clothes, have a million-dollar ship, and other stuff. This means every ordinary person, who is relaxing enjoying a little bit of nature, is suspicious. The cops and authorities should be grateful that the air is clean, that the forests are not in the fire, that people enjoy spending some time in the forest and doing sports. I didn't know that forest is somebody´s property unless the person is living in some castle, which includes part of the forest. Forests are usually the property of the state, and everybody has the right to go there and exercise. You should walk every day in nature for minimally 45 minutes, to avoid dementia, Alzheimer's, etc.

You can't be trespassed from a property except by the owner of the property or an agent acting on behalf of the owner. Neighbors can't trespass someone from their neighbors property.

[@Funkbass85]

Wouldn’t those cops be an agent acting on behalf of the owner in the presumed owner’s absence?

[@IRUKANJI]

@@Funkbass85 No, because an agent must be someone who has been delegated authority through a legally binding relationship (contract, kinship) or has verbal/written authorization to do so. The cops could only do that if the verified property owner, or their agent, gave them that authorization. The moment you call the cops and tell them you want someone trespassed from your property and you make contact with the responding officer and agree to go through with it, only then are they able to act as your agent in trespassing someone. The responding officers must make all reasonable effort to make contact with the property owner or their agent and verify that status before trespassing someone. These guys are posterboys for the endemic problem of cops not wanting to make any reasonable effort to do anything and instead choose the path of least resistance that works most of the time: abuse of authority and intimidation. And they get upset when that doesn't work.

Yea, I've been arrested for someone ELSE assaulting me and it was so bad the ticket that was written was a minute behind them being dispatched, they had my mom's name incorrect, they had the street name that it happened on wrong, (they literally said it was the next street over and not on OUR property which it was on OUR property) and when I talked to the DA she dropped the charges provided I didn't get in trouble for like 6 months, (which was easy because I don't get in legal trouble).

@JohnnyNoPockets aka Who Dat Gamecat yes. I am not sure what the federal ruling would be, but many states have a mandate requiring self identification from police officers, so it has become common practice. However, most civilians are either too trusting or too intimidated by the police interaction to ask for that information. Therefore, there is a pretty big chance that the person asking is going to file a complaint or is being intentionally disruptive/confrontational. That seems to be the assumption this officer made.

It's really time we set some standards regarding the power given to random callers. It's getting out of hand. It's wild how they automatically deem random callers as trustworthy and their information as factually accurate. Suspicion is not a crime and what is suspicious to one may seem perfectly normal to another. Sometimes it seems like the caller could simply say "Hey I see someone across the street, go arrest them" and the police would seriously consider blindly complying.

[@cooldog60]

True! And falsely accusing people. Someone calls the cops and says this person did this to me. They come and arrest you and you have to prove you are innocent. Innocent until proven guilty what a joke!

I agree. A caller should be liable to be put in prison if they reported wrong. Edit: if the police will use the phone call as the most credible thing they saw. Then why are they getting paid so much? Aren’t they the ones who are supposed to determine all the facts? Okay he is suspicious …. Now what…let’s set up a perimeter and determine the facts. What are we allowed to do and not do. In the military (RCA) we have the 5 whys. Ask why after every answer and if there is no answer for the remaining why’s then something is really off and wrong.

Then he can due the township for $$$ for violating his civil rights.

[@PennelopeWhitmore]

It's an excuse and nothing more. That's why half the time they say they got a call and they didn't.

[@subtlename2873]

Why would you assume we need to limit the power of "random callers"? They have none. 100% of the validity given to any particular call is assigned to it by dispatch. Additionally, in many localities they are required by law to respond to all calls. Fact is, this has nothing to do with random callers so long as they're not abusing the policing system (IE: false police reports) this (and most calls) can be resolved if the officers responding did a non-intrusive investigation and allowed for the presumption of innocence. In this case (episode) all the cops had to do was knock on the front door of this dudes house while one of the two officers detained (stood next to) the owner. If nobody answers the door, they have no report of trespassing from the land owner (because he's standing with them and would not have reported himself) so they have no grounds to arrest.

You assume that they put in any more effort to ensure that he was served notice of the hearing than they put into staying in their own lane. Would it really be so surprising if it turned out that they accidentally on purpose botched that too as an easy way of giving themselves a free pass? All they would have to do is have a believable excuse for how they did their best to make sure he got the memo even if it was total bullshit, like sending it to the address of the neighbor whose property they claimed he was on and then trying to pass it off as an honest mistake or something because they just got the addresses confused when they were filling out their paperwork.

Not dispelling Officer alarm IS NOT a violation. In fact it's litterally the 5th. Secondly, a neighbor isn't someone who can make a claim that carries trespassing if they can't give an ID, as in this case. Lastly, If someone claimed "I'm the resident and I don't know what's going on," cops could do this. But they don't have that, they have a "Someone is over there."

I would NEVER mean to initiate something like this. My only interest would be in keeping my neighbors and their property safe. Now I have to worry some crazy cop is going to assault them or an innocent person with a legitimate reason to be doing what they're doing.

The narator is usually correct on his knowledge of the law. Except this time he forgot to mention a few things. A) a trespasser must first be warned to leave by the property owner or a LEGAL agent thereof. If he returns, only then can he be charged with criminal trespass. B) There must be a complaintant . The police cannot be the complainant unless they are commissioned by the property owner or the property is otherwise posted. The neighbor cannot be the complainant unless she has been granted custodial care or managerial responsibility of the property in question and there has to be irrefutable proof that she holds that title. Word of mouth is not enough. Therefore the police have no Authority to arrest the suspect. He stated clearly that he owned the property several times. It is not his job to prove it. It's the officers responsibility to provide burden of proof that a crime is being committed. And the owner doesn't have to answer any questions or provide evidence against himself.

They were being petty tyrants.

[@RJBond121]

@@enayem1 they have reason to believe he is trespassing. Put it another way. Someone breaks into your house, and the neighbor calls the cops because they know you are gone. The cops show up and the person who broke in goes, "oh I live here." Should the cops then go, "Oh okay bye" and let your house get robbed? Or say you own property and a homeless person moves into it and the cops are called by a neighbor. Can the homeless person just say, "oh I live here this is my property." And then have the cops leave? Some proof of claim needs to be shown.

[@fortusvictus8297]

That's called a probe. You say that while watching to see the reaction, someone with a history of mental health issues will react far differently than one without. Actually, even someone severely intoxicated or tripping may freak out. Honestly, this is probably just Mr Jones tweaking on meth and not handling the cops showing up well at all...or he was poaching. Either way, he did NOT conduct himself as a reasonable person on their own property minding their own business... which led the police to make bad calls trying to sort the mess IMO.

[@riverdunlap5826]

Something to add here. Arkansas has a bad habit of not notifying you of your court date. Alot of the property out here is rural so they have to mail it to you. Alot of notices get "lost in the mail". Its possible he didnt even know he was supposed to go to court.

[@tinderbox218]

Very good point.

[@eddiewillers1]

That was my first thought - they never mailed the summons or ticket and claimed it was 'lost in the mail'. Scumbags.

[@ShiningDarknes]

An excellent point. I have a friend that lives literally in the middle of the woods (about 5 miles is his closest neighbor and about 20 miles to the edge of town) that got a warrant on him for not appearing to a jury duty summons. The summons arrived a week after the summons date. Charges were dropped and I think he may have been removed from the jury summons system due to it being clearly unreasonable to attempt to summon him since this was actually the second time this happened (the first time he managed to catch it in time and call in to receive a court date to clear things up). It is so stupid that they still rely on physical mail to tell people about legal action against them.

[@HH-ru4bj]

There's a lot of interesting things in a situation like this one. Firstly, there's a potential difference between a yard/property enclosure and a house. If he was inside of his house there's very little to say that the police had any right to initiate any contact what so ever outside of executing a warrant, or just asking a question. Out in the open on ones own property is treated as different though the differences vary from state to state. Some say if you are investigating a potential crime the police have the right to make contact and question you on the property, but not the house, while others include the property with the house and the police can be trespassed if they are not wanted by the owner. Here it's a strange situation where the owner is not known, and the owner is unwilling to cooperate even as part of his own defense. He isn't under any obligation to, but it does escalate in some circumstances what the cops are able to do. The whole reason why they are there is the "reasonable suspicion" that he is not there lawfully which in many cases does grant them the right to make contact for investigative purposes. It gets wierd around the point of does he have the right to not identify himself. The answer is yes and no. Up till hes under arrest he doesnt have to identify himself, butbrhe police operating under reasonable suspicion to have the right to detain him under the belief that he has no legal right to be there. But what's really odd here is his unwillingness to help himself. Let's take a different approach and say Mr. Jones was inside sleeping, and the police came into his property to investigate a trespasser the old lady reported, and that legit trespasser had confronted the police exactly as Mr. Jones did. Should Mr. Jones or anyone else then be grateful for the trespasser standing up for their perceived rights and leave them be to do whatever? Or would they rather the police not take the suspects word at face value that they are the property owner and arrest them? The police don't know the difference and can't be expected to. Though Mr. Jones may have the right to not identify himself on his own property, the police themselves do/may have the right to investigate a criminal complaint until they are satisfied with the outcome.

[@billmccoy3666]

He did not say he was at his RESIDENCE and it's not clear if there is a house on that property. If there was, it would have been much easier for the police to discern and sort out the facts. The guy owns some of the responsibility for what transpired.

Acting nervous imo. What are rights for if you have to spill your guts bc cops say so?

[@NightSpeed9]

In all fairness, you’ve got a burly looking male rustling and moving in a lightly wooded area at 5 AM with a flashlight, and elderly people living nearby. What if he was some crazy guy and there was a single mother with children living in the house right there? Are the police supposed to just believe him and leave? The guy is being extremely vague with his language, and although it’s his right to do so, the police have a duty to protect and serve the public. It must be hard for a police officer to just say OK sounds good you didn’t give us a name you didn’t give us an address you didn’t even tell us in detail what you’re actually doing and what your plan is. Sounds good see you later! No, The citizen is escalating the situation, by not providing his name and address to the police. If he really wanted to work at that hour, it would be beneficial for him if the police knew about it that way if anyone called they could check and say hey he’s doing yardwork. Bottom line is, the police are going to get your name and information one way or another.

[@israfel1980]

Since anyone can involuntarily commit a person for mental health, does that mean an individual can use that to involuntary commit a police officer that is a clear threat to other people because he is on a power trip with his authority? I mean it is kinda dangerous because such an officer is likely to commit violence when you trying to admit him (proving the need to commit them for a mental evaluation). I have seen more police officers in need of mental evaluation than regular people on these kind of channels.

You know, as a psychiatric registered nurse I honestly thought that Trump should be blue papered when he first won office because I understood how unfit he was to be president, and that his inability to make rational decisions could put us at risk for nuclear war. Little did I know my suspicions for even more warranted with his willful negligence severe mismanagement of the covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths, before he unleashed a mob of his supporters to interrupt the transfer of power and through his vice president under the bus putting him in danger, as well as the danger that he put so many of his other political enemies into, or the people that are looking into his crimes. It is uncommon for the jury during a trial to be anonymous but in the recent e Jean Carroll case the judge ruled to keep them that way so that they could stay safe. If Trump is an endangering the lives of others, that order would never have needed to be made.

[@andygray4418]

Here in the UK once, I had to break my car window because I locked myself out with the keys inside. Someone saw me and phoned the police, probably thinking I was trying to steal a car or just breaking a random window. The police who turned up made no attempt to ask me if it was my car or why I broke the window, it was just "You're under arrest for suspicion of criminal damage..." I was asked at the station if I wanted a duty solicitor provided to me to which I said no. I gave my name and a specific 'yes' when asked in interview if I broke the window. The rest I answered no comment. I was formally charged with criminal damage and summonsed to appear at Magistrates Court. At court I was asked to enter a plea, I pleaded not guilty to criminal damage. In the UK we have solicitors and barristers. I found a solicitor and told them of my situation (that I had been arrested and charged for breaking my own window). Their eyes lit up like a Christmas tree, after the CPS discovered it was my car and everything thereafter had been unlawful, the case was dropped and we sued the police. They settled for £12,000.
