Again pride and ego is cops biggest issue. Can’t let go and admit wrong and sorry. They violate rights because they can’t admit your right or that they may not know. Pride and ego, “I’m sorry we may have wrong house let me step out and check if so have a good night I apologize”. They constantly escalate the situation. I research and print out state federal supreme rulings what cops can and can’t do highlight and keep copy’s in car and house and hand to officers and if continue to violate rights then can’t play ignorant although ignorance of the law is no excuse. Cops hate people who use their rights……reasonable……this was not reasonable….make sure to read all rulings and highlight when they can do something……IF….and make sure they know the IF doesn’t exist.

[@darksaiyajin14]

@@azazelsvideos8298 It's tricky. I think the homeowner was in the right, but imagine if he did have a person in there? How would they go about determining that he is telling the truth? I've got a lot of problems with cops, but this seems like both homeowner and cops were put in an rough spot. Watching the video, I was pissed a them. But rationally, if he was lying and there was a wife bleeding out in the bathroom and they just left because he asked them to, I feel the court and public opinion would both say the cops were being negligent. Having the wrong address is information we have from after the incident and it colors how we view the interaction. If we remove the wrong address from the situation, then there actually was an exigent circumstance and I'd hope if I were a battered wife and a neighbor called because glass broke and they heard a scream, the cops would do their best to investigate. Lots of real examples of police brutality on youtube to go after, but this is just a rough situation for all involved, imo. Edit: The "blood on the floor" and "stop hurting your child" comments during the altercation were definitely malicious and an excuse for violence, so fuck whichever cops were doing that.

[@csvickers151]

B- for violating the 4th amendment??? Not only did they illegally enter the apartment they accused him without evidence of abusing his son. Anything better than an F in my view is unacceptable.

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

I'd say a D or D- would be more fair. Personally I think F grades should be reserved for officers who use excessive force, make an unlawful arrest, and/or commit false imprisonment. Actions that cause real and sustained damages that can be proven. I would hardly place this encounter in the same category of some other incidents this channel has covered where innocent people were injured or worse.

[@csvickers151]

@@Eidolon1andOnly true however even under the 4th amendment it constitutes a seizure there wasn’t sufficient evidence and therefore being detained in your own home unlawfully could be seen as an unlawful seizure however he wasn’t under arrest. Depends how a lawyer could use the evidence and language to argue the case.

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

@@csvickers151 I get what you're saying, but even though the detainment was unlawful, it didn't really result in any real injury that could be easily proven. An unlawful arrest would result in having a record of such arrest which could easily be proven as damaging to the victim since it could result in difficulties in employment, securing housing, or any other such endeavor where a background check is conducted. I think the only way the F grade can have any meaning is if is used for extreme cases like the ones I mentioned and I'll add malicious use of the courts to that list as well. I see too many people who want to give out an F to every officer interaction no matter how minor of an incident the cop is part of. Not saying you're among them, just that many seem to have a pass/fail mentality with impossible expectations of what could be considered passing. I thinknwhat happened here was egregious and morally reprehensible, but ultimately the man and his son were unharmed.

[@janpiet9921]

@@Eidolon1andOnly While I agree that there have been way worse results in previous episodes, this conduct is hardly any better. Just harrassing this poor dude, and traumatizing his son for no reason whatshowever. If these cops really wanted to "save" someone in critical condition, they would've just forced their way into the house immediately. It is pretty clear to me that they just wanted to enter out of pure ego. In my opinion every cop that knowingly breaks the law should get an F. D and/or C would be more like genuine mistakes that violate people's rights or cops that try to violate people's rights but when confronted they back off and leave them be. then B would be for cops that follow the law but are a dick about it and A's are for cops that follow the law and show patience and respect while doing so. That would be my scoring scale at least...

[@csvickers151]

@@Eidolon1andOnly I can respect trying to find a balance here and I appreciate your debate. And I can agree those people exist. However laws were broken. What use is a police force if they themselves break the law. The whole reason the issues with policing is because of low standards. But the next debate obviously is what constitutes an F. Simply breaking a law vs conduct that leads to injury or death. In my opinion conduct that leads to injury or death is automatically an F. Falsifying information, lying or other illegal activities constitutes an F. As with officers who plant drugs on their victims don’t cause any injury to their victims just get them falsely imprisoned. Obviously the issue is more complex.

Absolutely agree with everything you said and posted a similar comment. They also tried to escalate at the end by falsely fabricating the notion of seeing blood on the floor, with the cop manipulating his handcuffs, even after they saw no one was injured in the house. And they did not leave the house immediately, as claimed in the video; rather, they were trying desperately to find some reason to cuff this guy, because they knew they were up the 💩creek without a paddle. Also, citing the Gorsky v. Harris county to substantiate a claim of qualified immunity is ridiculous, as the text shown on the screen clearly stated “consensual encounter”.

IMHO it should be A+ for the father and a big fat F for the cops. They didn't investigate sjit, only relying on 'a call' and they failed to doublecheck (or were reluctant to) on the caller or dispatch. The cops only left 'immediately' after establishing that there was not a wife or a woman in the house and they then knew or realised that they probably 'effed of'.

As mentioned, it’s not known what was known to the officers. An anonymous tip may not be enough, but perhaps there is/was a wife who left the premises and made a specific report, which would certainly be viewed as reliable enough to create the exigent circumstances. We just don’t know. There could be information we are not privy to. I also agree that it seems by the demeanor of the cops that this did not seem to be a pretextual encounter trying to get at anything other than the safety of occupants that may be inside. If anything I would drop the grade of the citizen down to A- since he answered the door when he didn’t need to. Pretty hard to unring that bell. Though I also recognize this channel was primarily intended to be to grade auditors and not presumptively innocent citizens in non-consensual encounters.

[@erikskaug9952]

​@@beacon-313 Did you listen to his explanation? The officers reasonably could have been lawfully acting under exigent circumstances. It's very easy for us to be mad at them because we get the advantage of hindsight and know that the guy didn't do anything wrong. But the cops didn't know that. And as long as they met the correct criteria, then their actions were just. Think about a similar situation where there is domestic abuse happening. We want the cops to be able to act in those situations.

[@beacon-313]

There were no circumstances any more than if I came over your house RIGHT NOW and saw a "mysterious stain" on your carpet. "We got a call" DOES NOT throw the constitution in the garbage!@@erikskaug9952

Audit the Audit needs its own audit. They have been flunking major league in past months.

[@sjng68]

@@erikskaug9952 You've got to be kidding. What you are saying is that cops should have carte blanche to claim "exigent circumstances" and enter any home at their discretion. The wording read out during the vid is that the cops' belief that something is wrong must be "objectively reasonable". That's clearly not the case when their entire basis for being there is "we got a call" and when they showed up there was no domestic incident occurring, no signs of one having occurred and the man's son telling them no one else was there and there was no problem.

[@LauraleyB]

And this is why you never, I mean never open the door for random people, including random, law-enforcement, that YOU did not call for! They can’t bust your door down unless they have a warrant! If you don’t open the door, you don’t respond, all is quiet, Keep the blinds closed, (if you’re on a ground level they will be looking in your windows) stay away from the door!! Exigent circumstances only applies. “ If” during the call, they actively hear violence through the phone line or when they arrive on the scene they can hear the violence and fighting, which would be on their body cam at least the sound) or if you state while you’re on the phone that you are hiding somewhere in the house from whomever broken or is doing you harm. If those circumstances don’t apply exigent circumstances, don’t apply If everything’s quiet they can’t just break your door down. If that were the case, there’s at least one person in every neighborhood who loves to call the cops on people, that’s their version of entertainment watching the cops harass people.

[@LestatandBerial]

It would have been more honest if the cop just started yelling “obey!” “Obey!” “Obey!”

[@bhutehole]

I just love how cops can literally make up exigent circumstances out of thin air due to a "anonymous tip" to search your place

[@jesselove3715]

The citizen did himself no favors by continuing to yell at his kid to go to his room and close the door - which is suspicious. He did himself no favors by getting really angry - which is suspicious. Police were wrong, so was the citizen. If citizen was by himself Id say go for it bro, shoot for the moon... but disappointed he cared more about his rights than about providing security to his child by staying calm and allowing his son to come and say hi and that everything is ok. Unless... everything was not ok... its so easy to see this and only think within the letter of the law, but imagine you are a cop who wants to actually do good in the world and you are dealing with this guy... I love watching these videos and will call out an asshole when I see it, but the cops reacted the way they did inside the home because the citizen escalated things. They were both wrong. They both get a C imo. If the guy was home alone or there are only adults in the house this is very different, but dude was acting so sus with his kid...

[@gonuts1]

THEY DO IT BUT I DONT LOVE IT

[@eddododo]

@@jesselove3715 he’s under no obligation to subject, his kids to the harassment and overstep of the police. The call was about an issue with someone’s wife, no wife existed, they should’ve fucked off and left the kid alone. The father doesn’t need to “do himself any favors” the cops need to fuck off and make sure they know what they’re doing.

If an anonymous call is sufficient to allow the police to enter and search your home without a warrant then the 6th amendment is completely invalidated.

[@charlesmills6621]

Yeah. Texas law, right?

[@XJWill1]

You mean the 4th amendment?

[@dishonoredundead]

Now you're getting it. There is a legal way to circumvent every single right you have. Meaning, you effectively have no rights. But they pretend like you still do to keep you docile. Why risk a second revolution, when you can just change how things work, without changing what it says on paper? If a cop wants to stop you, they can manufacture any reason they want. They want you out of the car, they can order it, and it's law. Want in the car? Get the dogs, claim you were "reaching". Get what I mean? There is a loophole for every, single, right. You have rights in the same way The Democratic People's of North Korea, are "democratic".

The way the cop said “stop hurting your child” when they walked in was just despicable, obviously trying to justify arresting him for the camera

[@macurry81]

That's way too generous of a grade and ignores all their smug ignorant behavior. It did not seem clear they only wanted to ensure everyone was safe in the apartment. They accused him of harming his son, they intentionally escalated things once his son came out, and they prolonged the visit. It seemed clear they wanted to do what he was telling them they could not do just to prove they could. They get an F...maybe a D.

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

The grading system for this channel is bogus. I'd say a D or D- would be fair. For an F grade to have any meaning it should be reserved for incidents involving excessive force and/or unlawful arrest and/or false imprisonment and/or malicious use of the courts. Actions which leave a victim with any sort of long-term damages which can be easily proven.

[@bchap1233]

I would give a D. Go watch his previous video it is almost just as bad. A mayor gets arrested for filming cops and addressing grievances and he sided with the police.
