[@edwardgatey8301]

No camera, that pig woulda dragged dad from the vehicle, jailed him, and CFS the children. That pig was on a very thin edge between duty and overreach. Weaver was working hard to violate his rights. I think Weaver needs two weeks, no pay, and personally pay for his rights education. Second offence needs firing, loss of pension, home, cottage, toys, wife and children. Then no job as a LEO in any jurisdiction.

[@goofyrulez7914]

But, nonetheless, he did TRY to violate this man;s Rights and LIED to him. That's pure BS coming out of his foul mouth. It's pretty bad when we consider what this Clown-In-A-Costume did as "good".

[@AFriedChicken]

@@goofyrulez7914 Do you have evidence to suggest the officer knew he was tyrannically and intentionally violating his rights? Cops are only hired between an 80-90 IQ. 80 being that they're genuinely too dumb to hire and, 90 being too arrogant - believing themselves to be better job performers than they really are, leading to less routine traing time. If that every thing i stated is true, (which i hope it is because i heard Jordan Peterson say it) then i believe he was just another typical cop. They don't teach cops Law in the Academy, they teach them how to enforce it. So, it is entirely plausible he was ignorant of what was actually doing. He did apologize which is uber-rare. Have i mentioned that the average IQ in the US is 100?...

[@1SCme]

*Officer is, for all practical purposes, clueless* - I don't expect LEOs to know the nuances of every law, but if an LEO officer doesn't know the most basic aspects of performing a detention (a VERY common LEO activity), it is fair to ask if they are minimally qualified for their job. Here LEO stated at outset he doesn't suspect him of criminal activity (no RS), but detained anyway.

[@cammobunker]

And you've hit the nail on the head here. He's trying to do the right thing, he's just so poorly trained he doesn't know what it is. He really needs to hit the books and bone up on this stuff. That said. I think with study and training he'd be a much better cop-seems like his heart is in the right place, he's just not all that knowledgeable and really needs to be.

[@pippadawg7037]

You are right. It shows emotional maturity and a healthy ego. As a woman I have a quick check where a woman can tell a lot about a man. Just ask him to hold your purse. If he refuses he is a loser who is emotionally immature and probably has a micro_____. If he holds it out in front of him like a dead animal then he is probably just a big immature but there is hope for him. If he hangs it over his shoulder and doesn't even care, he is a real winner. I know it seems counter intuitive but that officer seemed like he would hang the purse over his shoulder and his wife or girlfriend would have to remind him it looks bad.

[@them0ppser995]

I had a police training course where one of the things we taught was “as a law enforcement officer, you are never required to win an argument and it can be to your benefit to avoid one.

It could be that the officer was relatively new at his position. Having been recently newly employed myself, I can sympathize with the officer if that was the case. Police work can be extremely stressful and there are lots of rules to learn, especially rules which are complicated and not really clear cut and they receive pressure from both directions, from citizens in one direction, and from their departments and coworkers in another direction. This makes mistakes likely especially when first learning a job.

Really nice to see an officer decline to escalate an encounter to engage in an arrest or to force the issue to get what they want. This was really a pleasure to watch. Though honestly... there's little more satisfying than watching an officer come back, hat in hand (metaphorically) apologizing for their behavior and releasing their suspect.

[@ntx-outdoorsunlimited]

I know this has been said on countless other videos as well as in comment sections, but why is it that citizens can be cited under the guise that "ignorance of the law is no excuse" but officers can't be held accountable for "ignorance of the law" as their excuse? It's perplexing to me...

[@oddhate]

I guess it's the idea that if a cop is ignorant of the law, because he's a cop, it's presumed that he was acting in the best interest of the public. Stupid, especially when you think of how many bad cops there are out there who don't actually work in the best interest of the public, but their own.

[@ntx-outdoorsunlimited]

@@oddhate abolish qualified immunity and watch those who act in the best interest educate themselves and watch those, who do not, go broke from litigation for civil rights violations.

[@foogod4237]

Realistically, this is really a practical matter. If cops are required to actually know every law inside and out before they can do their job, then realistically they'll just never be able to do their job. Even most lawyers who spend years in law school don't know the entirety of every law on the books and usually have to look up the details of whatever laws are applicable before any new case. But it's important to understand that "ignorance of the law is no excuse" is a cliche that people often bandy about but it's _not actually true_ even for ordinary citizens. When cases get to court (or often even before that) it is actually extremely common for people to be let off or given lighter punishments if it becomes clear that they genuinely were not aware of the laws or believed they were acting within the spirit of the law at the time. Ignorance of the law by itself is not an excuse, but _intent_ is still a significant consideration in most cases, which often does mitigate that substantially. On the flip side, in reality, ignorance of the law is also often not actually an excuse for cops either. As was noted in this video, police do (increasingly) lose qualified immunity in cases where they really should have known what the law was, and just saying they didn't know is not good enough to get them out of hot water. It's also important to realize that even if an officer retains qualified immunity, that doesn't mean that the police department that's responsible for them is off the hook. Even in cases where qualified immunity is upheld, the police department itself is often still liable, and there have been quite a lot of cases where an officer's ignorance of the law has resulted in substantial judgements against the police as a whole, because of what they did. There are mechanisms already in the law to take this sort of thing into account, and while they have historically perhaps not been applied as often as they should have been, that does appear to be slowly changing, and will likely continue to improve as well.

[@josuebadillo32]

It's not the use of rights, it's the not identifying themselves that makes them suspicious, or non-compliance. I don't think cops give a shit wether you know your rights. They know they are the law and are under assumption that people bend for the law. Why are you hiding your identity? You got warrants? Are you doing something illegal at the moment? I'm thinking that's what they think when someone doesn't ID themselves. That makes them scared I guess. He could've gave them a John Doe for name and they wouldn't even know if it's his real name. I once told a cop at a gathering that my name was Joe and it wasn't, he got more comfortable after I did.

[@jasonlongton1876]

When an officer approaches and informs you he's investigating a child who may be in distress, the normal reaction is to be helpful and understanding, not demand badge numbers, refuse basic information, demand a supervisor, and drag out the interaction as long as possible. Likewise, if a woman approaches and asks if you saw her missing child, you are well within your rights to refuse to answer her, or tell her she's a shitty mother, that she should keep an eye on her kid, and to go get fucked. That would be an exercise of your rights also, but it certainly wouldn't make you some hero!

They train the cops on how to intimidate citizens to obey them. They teach them to say "I need to see your ID" rather than giving an order.

What I absolutely love about this channel and all auditor and law channels. The channels are arming the public with knowledge. An informed public makes for a peaceful public.

[@dunuth]

Do you notice how the statutes and case law are explicitly broad when it comes to criminalizing citizens' behaviors, but explicitly narrow and restrictive when it comes to police behaviors? Moreover, a citizen is assumed to know all minutiae of the law and is held to that regardless of "reasonableness". An officer's "reasonable ignorance" is, however, an excuse. Clearly a chilling double standard.

Put police into longer training problems. Create a qualification that's a prerequisite to their signing up as law enforcers. And encourage the recording and auditing of their behaviour via an independent organisation that regulates the maintenance of keeping a standard of law. Citizens should not be expected to know the details of the law, they should expect fair treatment in return for keeping law and order. Police incompetence should not exist. If this is a problem then the general public should protest more forcing more political pressure. After all, this is a funding and organisational issue at the root cause, the people put those in power to do this. Power shouldn't keep the people.

[@lisacarden1309]

Exactly!!! 😡

[@femsplainer]

While I generally agree that the standard is in favor of police, I do also recognize that this is a necessity for a functioning police force. The reason is that a citizen is not charged with a duty to enforce law, but an officer is. We like to look at the police and say "well it's their job and they should know better" when they screw up, but when you examine that statement and look at how many people screw up on their jobs on a daily basis in the private sector, including doctors in hospitals, and firefighters, and other people we otherwise charge with great societal responsibilities, to realize that it would be untenable to be an officer without qualified immunity. That's not to say that we should just excuse bad cops being bad because "they didn't know no better", but that we are potentially holding cops to an impossible standard where they must know the law better than lawyers and judges and also be tasked with acting on the law in stressful and possibly dangerous situations. Lawyers and judges are safe in their heavily secured courtrooms and have plenty of time and additional support to make legal decisions and take legal actions from them, the police don't have that. They have to operate in messy situations where they don't have the luxury of examining every detail about a situation prior to taking action. So we have to give them some leeway to make mistakes, even if those mistakes may seem costly, because at the end of the day cops are just fallible humans too.

I was immediately impressed when the officer was told it was a violation of his civil rights, and instead of arguing or immediately treating him like a criminal for even suggesting such a thing, he instead actually _asked him for an explanation_ of why he thought that was true (2:54) and stopped and tried to listen to his answer. Even if he did not immediately agree, this willingness to listen and take into consideration someone else's opinion and position is a quality sorely lacking from so many police exchanges, and that by itself is immensely refreshing to see. His willingness to change his position, admitting that to the person he's dealing with, and then at the end actually _apologizing for the inconvenience_ are just icing on top of that already good foundation, TBH. Obviously, he does need to get some points off for being wrong in his understanding of the law and attempting to require things which were not legally valid (even if only due to misunderstanding), but this, IMHO, is still really the type of cop we desperately need more of. If given the choice, I would much prefer a police force full of people who could use better training but are willing to listen and learn over a bunch of thugs who just do what they want (or were trained) and don't even care if it's legal or right.

Best what characterize people is not if they make a mistake - everybody does, but how they react to it. So for that I would say this officer should be promoted and have long successful career.

[@Arcenture]

*from a British perspective* It doesn't, it's a thing for further down the line. Someone is obviously being detained here, there is only one officer. The officer can't stop the individual leaving (generally speaking), as unless he has the car registration and can rapidly persue, that car is gone. However he can't also conduct a thorough investigation into the area and circumstances. Giving name and details, means the person could be released from being detained. If in the process of investigating the area and circumstances, all reasonable evidence points to that person/family, then they can be reached/found and appropriately engaged. But, by refusing, the individual must therefore be detained until they are found not to be involved.

The problem is that guys like this aren't trained well enough or long enough to learn what they need to in order to do the right thing, even if they're trying to. Apologies are rare because in the U.S, legally speaking it's an admission of guilt. Which is the stupidest thing ever. If you get into a car accident and you're rear ended, lets say you've called the cops, exchanged info, and are calmed down and no one is hurt. If you apologize to the person who hit you since you're sorry you're both in this situation, that could be used to justify the accident being your fault, even if you only meant the apology as one to represent the misfortune you're both sharing. Ridiculous.

How many of us were trained at a job and officially knew everything there is to know? It's probably no one, at least if they're being honest. How many of us went to college, only to realize upon hitting the real world that they taught you a small fraction; especially when it can take upwards of a decade to learn everything, let alone understand it completely. There's people who have studied law for decades, and still learn of new things. The difference between a good cop and a bad cop is to a> be willing to admit to making a mistake, and b> willing to ask someone who's more knowledgeable on the subject. Flat out, it's impossible to teach anyone everything there is to know about a subject in any kind of reasonable time period.

An absurd shortage of people who want to go into law enforcement and 2. Officers who do not respond to calls on the fear that they will somehow break a law and be held responsible. Of course, it's painfully obvious why these two outcomes would be undesirable, to say the least.

"Show me your ID." "I don't have to unless you have reason to believe I'm committing a crime." "Not showing me your ID is sus, so now you have to show your ID." LMAO

A large percentage of law enforcement in the United States needs about 100 times more education in the constitution and investigation skills. This stop reeks of lazy policing.

[@Bonzi_Buddy]

The quality of police is decreasing daily. That is not going to happen. I carry a gun and will deal with criminals myself.

[@eugenefarr4452]

That would require putting more money into police training but some people want police funding cut so it’s probably not gonna happen

[@TheTechSupportGuy]

This KZbinr gave this cop a B. So yeah. Standards are practically non existent. People are just happy to not get robbed by cop or illegally arrested these days.

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

You aren’t going to find quality police officers with all the crap they have to put up with now.

[@thiefofvirtue]

They need a 2 year constitutional law degree or certification. Removing qualified immunity removes the ego, copsplaining, asset forfeiture. Having them carry there own bond , would remove the " bad" apples.

[@lorabama]

We NEED more officers like Weaver BUT WITH PROPER TRAINING! GREAT JOB!

[@Greatergood3]

“That’s the way they taught me at the academy”. Basically he’s saying he’s not holding any culpability and his actions are only what he was taught by his superiors even if it’s against the law

[@jplayzow]

He needs more training and education but he is clearly trying his best to do his job and not trying to escalate hostility

[@jemeson5332]

"That's the way I was trained." There is your problem right there.

[@l0chness]

exactly he was "trained" that an investigation is filling out reports, which means he needs something for the name box,. he is not trained to investigate he is trained that filling out the report is investigating. At the end of the day he could have names of everyone in the car minors included and he would be no closer to having any information about who committed the crime, even if one the occupants in the car was the party that had done it, because he has no description it appears of the child in question. unless he saw the child naked he would have no evidence, as he has no description,.. even the vauge description of 12 years old means nothing how does the caller know the kid is 12? unless officer physically sees someone running around naked, or they admit to it, he has no evidence, he should be driving around looking for kids running around naked, not hassling people in a car, who given cops reaction on the scene clearly not naked. for all we know kid was still out running around naked but hes to busy looking for a name to put in his report, so he can say he "investigated" as he was trained

[@podgebrennan1]

He was a good cop 💪 fair play for him for doing good

[@jonathand.terrell3419]

An excellent channel for individuals wanting to learn the limitations and scope of law enforcement with respect to your civil rights. Every episode and scenario is supported by case law.

[@brucelangsteiner4599]

I'm encouraged by Officer Weaver's willingness to be calm, courteous, and respectful even though he wasn't getting what he requested. He didn't instantly go into "contempt of cop" mode when he didn't get his way. I believe he will go on to have a solid career as a police officer.

[@didyasaysomethin2me]

I have been seeing an uptick in audits where, although there was some degree of deprivation of rights occurring, the officer(s) walk away with a better understanding of the limits of their authority. I've even seen videos recently of cops who seem to understand that the biggest threat to their safety is a "bad cop." This is exactly what we need. And I hope that the trend continues.

[@victorious1929]

They are getting sued and somethings they do, they can lose Qualified immunity

[@bettersteps]

"Are you a police officer?".... "I don't answer questions". .....best ever answer to that question. I love this channel so much. It's embarrassing how little I knew about my rights before watching, THANK YOU!

[@iSkillM0re]

I live in Kentucky. These cops make it up as they go along and cash their checks

[@willlawson6126]

Kentucky is a commonwealth state

[@Hear-MeoutTwo2]

@Drew Tomlinson::: I don't believe that cop made up anything. He is just not bright enough to understand his training and how to react to situations in the real world.

[@Al-Gore-ithm]

Just think, there are cops watching this video and learning more about RAS and Terry stops than they learned in the academy.

[@Terrackhimself]

Not really sure how a constitutional right is not clearly established. It is the very thing they swear to protect, as far as your rights go.

[@wallebo]

I have thought that many times.

[@seanp407]

A rare A+ & very much deserved in my opinion, I liked how mr, duble balanced the give and take with the officer. Often the auditor takes away grade points from citizens for not invoking their right to remain silent but I feel like anyone who can sympathize with a real crime taken place and the investigation thereafter would want to aid in sharing information that could benefit the progression of justice.. not to say anyone HAS to share any known info but mr.duble seemed to have carefully balanced the give and take respectfully. Don’t usually see that too often with most encounters on KZbin. Good job on the audit and the editing of this video.. because if you, I’ve become addicted to learning more about case law and I hope it leads to me ultimately becoming comfortable with dealing with police.. something that has always made me very uncomfortable in past interactions. Thank you

[@thinkndrankn]

I agree. The officer deserves an A+.

[@maxfriis]

Officer: "This is a give and take." What is the officer going to give for trying to take away the suspects rights?

[@mats7492]

An arrest and a nice stay in the local pd cell

[@osirex5495]

A cool safe place to sleep

[@maxfriis]

[@rynjp]

I’m generally have no problems with answering questions (so far it’s worked out just fine with me answering) but I enjoy watching people being held accountable when they are not doing their jobs. Good content.

[@chrisrandall1366]

both the officer and the man should have earned an A for how they interacted with each other.
