this happened to me years ago. the police show up in the middle of the night insisting that a call had been placed. they immediately asked for my husband who had gotten into it with the chief a week before. they insisted on searching my home to make sure he wasnt there and everyone was ok. after an hour arguing with them (my husband was out of town and no call had been made) they finally tell me the call was about a woman and her stepdaughter fighting. i was like WHY are you looking for my husband then? this was confusing to me so i told them i was done and went inside. never heard another word about it. i did notice that the chief was parked on the road watching the whole thing.

[@TwilightMysts]

The thing to keep in mind is that there are actually three sides to this coin. There is you, the innocent citizen caught up in police trying to enter your home. There is the police officer who has a job to do. AND there is the criminal who kidnapped a child and is hiding them in their house. The police don't know if you are an innocent citizen or a criminal. Their job is, first and foremost, to insure the safety of the kidnapping victim, so they must take any and all reasonable steps to do so. You might be a criminal. Or they might have the wrong address. Or it might have been a fake call. But in a situation where a person may end up dead, they can't just take your word for it. HOWEVER, having said that, I absolutely think there needs to be stronger 4th amendment protections for an innocent citizen in that situation. The police show up, announce it is an exigent search related to X/Y/Z, are granted immediate entry to the house, but are only permitted a visual search of the entire premises, they are not allowed to touch anything, can not gather ANY evidence for anything beyond the purpose of the call, can be escorted by the property owner, and MUST leave as soon as it is satisfactorily demonstrated that the exigent circumstance was false. Oh, and the person is absolutely free to follow up on the call that triggered the search, and if the call does not support the search then they can pursue legal satisfaction for an unjustified 4th amendment violation. Law enforcement and police protection is a balancing act between the rights and protections of the innocent citizen on one side, and the obligations of the police and the right of people to be protected from crime on the other side. Right now we have a problem because they are no longer trying to find a balance, there are cases where they just say "screw the rights/protections of innocent citizens, cops are just going to do what they want", and they are not being held accountable for violating people's rights. This has a knock on effect in that because cops are getting away with crimes, people no longer trust cops when it comes to legitimate actions either (like this one where they had legitimate reason to enter the home, even though they overstayed their authority afterward).

[@ghetifal]

@@TwilightMysts Most of this irrelevant to this situation. They could find out that the call did not come from this house, so the entry shouldn't happen. And once that mistake was realized they should be out. There's nothing more to it. Yes, if a 911 call comes from a house, then be thorough and don't just listen to the one who opens the door. But that isn't this situation. They only had a "reason to enter" from incompetence. They got a landline call from a house that doesn't have a landline...

[@TwilightMysts]

@@ghetifal In reverse order The police need to either verify that the call is not legitimate, that they are mistaken, or they need to rescue the person making the emergency call. Their records were likely outdated, but they don't know that. And as you pointed out, they can't take the resident's word for it. They can reach out to the phone company, but that could take anywhere from hours to weeks and if it was a legitimate call, the victim may not have that long. So their only real option was to move forward until they could confirm that the house in question was not a concern. As for the other part, It is absolutely relevant since I was addressing police doing forced entry into homes under exigent circumstances, and comparing the requirements of police in a legitimate emergency against the necessary protections of innocent residents when it was not a legitimate emergency or the police make a mistake. Mistakes happen. Cops could have bad information, they could write down the wrong home number, the phone company may not have given them current information, or it could be a bored teenager or vindictive coworker trying to swat them. So fundamentally it comes down to the question of how do you balance the rights of crime victims vs the rights of innocent home owners. Again, how is that not relevant to a video where police raid a home of innocent people based on an emergency call?

[@angeldelgado7120]

11:54 gives me chills, "if any one is need of assistance." 5 cops deep on a suspected hang up, all staring you down step by step forcing themselves further into your residence. No land line in sight, no hurry to leave and find the supposed person who placed the call. Just so gross, that they can just stand there like that.

[@stvbee7479]

What concerns me about this is even after the officers had spoken with everyone in the apartment, all of whom stated they did not call 911, and the officers found out there was no land line to the apartment, they still wouldn't leave. Instead more officers arrived, nine in total. There may actually be someone somewhere needing their assistance but they chose to remain there trying to intimidate the resident instead of trying to find out if the was someone in need of help.

[@Baer1990]

in the first minutes I sided with the officers, with the way the resident refused to cooperate after the cop said exactly what he was there for. That opinion shifted quickly though

[@stephencook7337]

They could have been in and out of that apartment within two minutes by simply calling the landline phone number to confirm or deny that they were in the wrong place. But we’re talking about leos here, so, yup they chose the hard way.

[@Degarth]

@@Baer1990 same. If there is a 911 call and one guy says no one called there very well could be a tied up person or a dead body inside. I get that. But, once you know and you are still soul hurt because someone was mean to you, the understanding and sympathy goes out the window.

The guy is being deliberately obstinate and aggressive, and I think the police were perfectly justified in not letting him slam the door in their faces. As to his current Internal Affairs complaint, since he never identifies himself, we have no way of knowing whether this claim is true or not, and if it is, whether the complaint is legitimate. His attitude screams of someone who really, REALLY wants to start a fight with the police. That being said, the obstruction ticket probably won't stick. After they had verified the call didn't come from the apartment and he refused to identify himself, they should have left. They are probably in the wrong for that. @Innocent Bystander The fact that he received a citation in his name in no way means they knew who he was before hand, they could very easily have looked up who was resident in the home after they left.

@@EskChan19 The police definitely made some pretty bad mistakes in this situation. I didn't notice if they had told dispatch or not but that should've definitely been step one. And one they were sure it wasn't the home then they definitely should've left. They were there for much longer than they reasonably or legally should've been. I agree with all of that. The main thing I don't agree with that most people say in this situation is that the cops should've just left when the person who answered the door said everyone is ok and tried to make them leave. If you're harming someone and holding them against their will in your house then obviously you're not going to tell the cops about it when they knock on your door. EDIT: The other thing I have a big issue with is people saying the cops were 100% wrong and the resident was 100% right. The cops were wrong, but the resident was fighting the cops the whole way when they were trying to make sure everyone was safe and get the landline officially disassociated from the house. The resident did have his rights violated, but he did almost everything he could to make the situation harder for the officers and himself. If the resident had been professional (not even kind, but professional) with the officers and given them a reasonable amount of information while still withholding the information he legally didn't have to provide then the situation would've almost definitely been resolved much more quickly and easily.

Also, if you're a cop, then you shouldn't be the type to immediately stoop to the level of the person you're investigating.

@@CrizzyEyes 100% agree. However I don't think that's very applicable in this particular instance. The officers remained respectful when Brian B was, in fact, in the wrong when he denied and subsequently attempted to block their entrance. Brian B only became justified in his behavior once it was established that the 911 call did not originate in his home and the officers failed to leave. I would also argue that the officers remained calm and collected even when they crossed over to the point where they were the ones in the wrong. But the calm and collected demeanors don't excuse them violating his rights by staying and insisting on additional information he was not legally obligated to provide once they had established the 911 call was traced inaccurately. I will say this, I paid a visit to Brian B's KZbin page after watching this video. He's in his own comments section saying "ACAB" and telling people to "stop deepthroating the boot" when they simply point out that for all he knows, something was a very routine traffic stop. Brian B presents himself as being very anti-cop and that's all well and good with me, personally.

@@TheArmchairrocker in a possible domestic violence call you don't just take people's word for it. Do you have any clue how common it is for the abuser and the victim to both say nothing is wrong? It's best if you can talk to each person individually without being within earshot of the other.

[@kdphotos4691]

I would want the cops to check on every one in the property because there have been plenty of cases where victims of domestic violence have called 911 and hung up. If the cops had just ignored those calls, there'd be more dead victims of intimate partner violence and kidnappings. He should have just allowed them to speak to *everyone* in the property. Once the police clarified that no one had phoned, then they should have left the property. Anything after them verifying that no one was in danger is harassment on their part.

I 100% agree. My only concern is that just because they didn't see a land line doesn't mean one isn't further back in the house. Same with there being a potential fourth person they didn't see. Having said that.... what are the 5 outside looking over each others shoulders going to do? And if the cops actually thought what I said might be the case, why didn't they do a quick room by room scan?

Lets for 1 moment assume that this was the house where the call originated from - Murderer denies access to the police officers. Morons like you think they should leave. Luckily they dont. - Murderer has accomplices and they all say "Nah its all fine, there's not even a landline here". Morons like you think the police should take that as a fact, while it could be a lie, both that everyone is okay, and that there's no landline. Police officers needed not only to talk to the people who showed themselves to them, but to check the entire property, as a beaten wife or injured person could be locked up in a bathroom, closet, or something else. "Nah man there's no land line here" when a life might on the line and when someone called to the EMERGENCY LINE would only be believed by an IDIOT without full assurance that everyone is okay in there.
