Cops searched him for an hour but couldn't find a crime, so they used more aggressive tactics | PAR

Phillip Hamm was on the road with a friend in Paducah, Kentucky when he was pulled over by local police over a busted tail light. Instead of letting him go, the officer held Hamm for over an hour, during which time he forced Hamm to undergo a sobriety test, searched his person, and demanded access to his vehicle. When Hamm declined, the police brought over a canine unit and searched his car. Despite finding nothing, officers tested dollar bills from Hamm's wallet for methamphetamine and then arrested him on felony drug charges. Police Accountability Report examines the footage of Hamm's arrest as an example of how police routinely abuse their power to manufacture the outcomes they want. Phillip Hamm himself also joins the show to speak on his ordeal.

It's necessary to delete the notion that the police and the system is only attempting to "protect and serve" to understand their actions. What they actually do is take advantage of the limited bad acts and actors to exaggerate the dangers to citizens so they can elevate crimes and charges and sentences, claiming to need more police, more courts, more jails, more prisons, more prison guards. Their goal is to expand their BUSINESS and salaries and benefits and get more jobs for more their sons and frds and just keep increasing the funding of our tax dollars to THEM while they hammer US with the excessive power we give them.

@@mikeswanson6145 seems like thats exactly what decent cops would do Mike but thats not what predatory, bullying aggressive violent thugs with badges do. And because this is what they do and know their other cops do by their "war stories"back at the cop shop, it causes decent people who became police for the right reasons to feel alienated and not fitting in. And when these decent cops voice these feelings they incur mistrust from their fellow officers and higher ranking cops. Comments like "the guys dont know who side your on" are made or "we dont know if you can be trusteed since your sympathy seems to lie with the criminals instead of the guys who are the ones that will race to help you when you need it" And even "if you see things that disturb you about the realities of being a cop maybe you chose the wrong profession?" It does not take a good cop long to feel the pressure to just go along with what is long standing behaviors oand become a bad cop. Either that or retain their moral pricipals and refuse to become one of them and leave the force which is by far the decision made in most cases. It doesnt take long for this series to play out over and over to reach a state of constate balance where the department is well stacked with violent bullies who are out to prove to their comrades on a daily basis how tough and meanspirited they are and how little they actually care about law and order and all of the things the swore to folllow when they took the pledge.. Since we NEVER hear a word about any cops being held accountable for breaking their pledge to serve lawfully what good is this pledge made to themselves about themselves? I think body cam footage showing behaviors clearly outside of this pledge are all that is needed to ban these liars from service. If they cant be honest about their pledges they cant be trusted to take the stand or even write police reports. Start holding these bullies to account for their observed behaviors and how it conflicts with what they are tasked to do BY US, FOR US and when they start seeing harm and penalties from their blatant disregard for citizens and their trashing of their oaths then we'll see a respect for the citizens who hire them and only from monitoring what these guys are actually doing out there can we know if they are they kind of people who we should be turning lose on ourselves. Clearly just giving these people a badge, a gun, and a car and a car and hoping they are doing the right thing out there is not a model that is working or sustainable.

Elections have consequences and the people are to blame for what we are seeing today as the process takes place long before the voting citizen gets to the voting booth. Too many allow their ears to be tickled and led astray when the voter learns candidates are promising the most benefits from the public treasury, the voter discovers they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. The voter also allows themselves to be led astray believing they must vote for so and so as that candidate is the only one with a chance to win. The citizen rustles themselves up a solid Constitutional candidate and then they work their fanny off to see those candidates get elected - basically telling "the party" to stick it. Of course no two states operate their elections the same so this will mean the voter takes on their responsibility to learn the process and no better time to start than now - after a midterm.👍🇺🇸

In Texas, 2012, I got pulled over at 2PM on a SUNNY Summer day for ONE of my TWO tag lights being out!!! My license showed an EXPUNGED non-specific VUCSA charge (no conviction) from 1981, so he wanted to search my (actually, my Dad's) truck. I refused because I was in the middle of moving from Washington to Georgia and had all of my worldly possessions that I had ever owned stuffed into the back of that truck, and I KNEW that he lacked probable cause... So, he then detained me to call in a K-9 unit (dog wasn't even a full year old). OF COURSE, the pup 'signaled' near the front grill of all places. The next thing I know, I'm sitting on the side of the highway with a 3rd degree blistered sunburn nearly 7 hours later, as cops from 3 cars dump all of my worldly possessions out onto the side of the highway. They never did search anywhere near the front where the pup supposedly signaled. They opened up a small denim pouch they found in my jewelry box. I told them it contained locks of hair that I'd collected from my Teddybear hamster, and my horse, when they died. They also found a 3-6 mm long piece of dried leaf entangled in the coil of my horse's forelock. There was NO WAY it could possibly be pot; I hadn't even LOOKED in the pouch since 8th grade, and I only ever smoked pot a handful of times after I was 30 and married. They charged me with possession of less than an ounce with intent to sell (because I was carrying around $500 cash for emergencies), AND ARRESTED ME!!! THREE FREAKING DAYS IN JAIL!!! I INSISTED they test the leaf fragment they found, and that they do a hair test on me. The leaf turned out to be a tiny piece of scotch broom. The whole ordeal cost me almost $500 (civil FREAKING forfeiture), and my truck got robbed in their impound lot. They never even cited me for the burnt-out tag light. Biggest lesson learned from this whole ordeal: If you have out of state license plates, avoid driving in the State of Texas, and NEVER EVER carry any amount of cash with you.

Everything about this cop is a trick. Notice how the cop asks all these questions, working it into the conversation, like have you ever interacted with the police before, etc. The cop calls the one guy 'bud'. This is not friendly, it's condescending and it's meant to show the citizen that he's low, basically a boy and that the cop is the real man, the big man and to gain compliance from the citizen. The driver tries to play it cool, trying to seem forthright and open with the cop but the cop just keeps tearing into him, asking more questions, digger a deeper hole.

Back in the early 90's, the Waukesha cops pulled me over for "swerving in my lane"... after following me / tailgating me with their high beams and searchlights for nearly a mile.. making me nervous, and temp. blinded at times, at night, as I was driving to my job. I was pulled over, questioned, searched, and then coerced into having my car searched. I was told: "Your refusal to allow us to search your car, is the probable cause we need to search your car." "We can do it the easy way or the hard way. Your choice." I was told they would have to make me wait even longer..(I was already late for work, during the probationary time of my new job, where I needed to have perfect attendance for the first 90 days).. for their K-9 unit to arrive..if I refused. So Im like.. Oh well... might as well... since they say that there is basically no refusal no matter what.. From there, they literally tore my car apart..! My stereo system was destroyed, they damaged the cords to the amp, the speakers, ripped off the inner door panels, and broke the fasteners, (This happened in the middle of January, where it was very cold).. yanked out the floor mats.. the contents of the glove box were strewn all over the ground. Then they opened the hood, took off the air cleaner assembly, tossed the cover on the ground, damaging that, pulled out the air filter, tossed that. yanked off the amp wires.. (I wasn't even playing my stereo while driving to work).. Then when that was all done, and they couldn't find anything at all, perhaps because I didn't do drugs of any kind, they wrote me a ticket for failing to stop at a controlled intersection. Even though, I was fully stopped at the light on Moorland, when I made eye contact with the cop, sitting in his cruiser parked at an ice cream shop, as I was was checking for traffic. He says to me, that my car wasn't shaking from stopping. "If you had stopped, your car would have shaken a little bit, which it didn’t." That was bull, because I was fully stopped, and checked twice, even though he made no mention of these at the time I was pulled over. All together, 3 squad cars had me on the side of the road.. Thankfully my boss recognized me, or I would have lost my job! The cops then falsified the report, and made no mention of the search. I tried to explain this to the assistant DA, who called me a "Liar"... "How dare you lie about my professional officers.".. I later plead No Contest to the charge, because....1. I traveled that route every day, and was afraid of the cops retaliating and making things worse for me, perhaps planning evidence next time, and the fine was low enough to pay it and be done with this bullshit. Prior to that, I had a favorable opinion of the police.

this guy couldn't of been more compliant and reasonable.. wonder if these cops go home and tell there wife 'almost invented myself a criminal, there is always tomorrow though'

[@hank0455]

I love what you do. Exposing these uniformed gang members from the crimes they commit can only help to weed out this dirt in our law enforcement.

[@AECRADIO1]

THE CLEANSING COMES WHEN THEY ARE SEEN SWINGING FROM ROPES!

[@FoulMouthFishing666]

It's not hard to weed out the bad ones, just throw a pencil randomly in a PD and I bet you'll hit one lol

[@christophwilhelm6431]

If a tag light being out is such an apocalyptic crime... why is an unstable cop with weapons completely overlooked by the establishment?

[@DEFIRYAN]

By design

This could be a best seller, ah, bumper sticker!? Except most poor people do not have cars...we're the on foot invasion. Still, scary enough to the power structure of police states to "warrant detention, torture" and eventually mass in-car-ceration.

What department is it ? They need to Be exposed!

[@Chris-jt2sk]

NEVER ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THEY ASK! THEY AREN'T BEING NICE THEY ARE LOOKING TO TRIP YOU UP ON YOUR STORY AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS TYRANT IS DOING

[@stevejette2329]

Chris - NEVER

There are YT from attorneys saying this.

@Xhade Brinsbane Part of the reason cops need to generate huge money is because they COST the city huge amounts.

[@lcbuell5535]

This stop was totally illegal because of the fact that they held him for an hour on a traffic stop

[@Elusivemiasma]

This is a perfect example of what happen when you just follow answer every question thinking your being cool to the cop

[@bobbysquinch5085]

I just donated because your commentary is so insightful.

[@alexjacksam]

Policing at its worst!!!! ...I have watched 100s of these type of stops and the one thing I keep going back to is WTF is going on, WHY are prosecutors an judges letting this happen, I have NO idea of the law but yet I even know that what's being viewed is just wrong .....hold those judges accountable, because if these cops keep being told by these judges that there good boys of course it's not going to stop .....so start going after those judges an prosecutors....shame on them ....I love all these channels there so educational, well done all of you for bringing these criminals to light ...love from Ireland 🇮🇪

I remember a study conducted years ago, where a research team collected many thousands of random dollar bills from every State and examined each of them. They found that almost all had cocaine and/or other drug residue embedded in them. So the chances are that most people in the U.S. have drug residue on the bills in their wallet. I'm sure that all Police Officers are well aware of this.

[@kara_30]

@ MarekzAnglii my jaw dropped when they searched his money & supposedly found a cpl crumbs of an illegal substance. I call BS! I don't think there was any particles of anything...he just wasn't gonna look as stupid as he is after spending SO LONNNNG searching & reaching HARD for ANYTHING to arrest these men! Shameful!! I don't doubt a word you said about money having cocaine or other drug residue on them...

[@hosmashumake4172]

Cops aren't that intelligent!!

[@MarekzAnglii]

@@kara_30 Yes, I agree.

[@MadSceintist]

They bank on it to falsely acquire search or seizure. Rarely do they actually do the correct and proper thing

[@brads0107able]

They say that 90 percent of all US money has drug residue on it

[@L337f33t]

This was totally a pretextual stop, they ran the plates and saw that he had a past charge or conviction that they though they could pin something on him.

[@King.David.219]

It was Cause I have been a victim of this same bs.

Ding ding ding! Winner! Police do this all the time.

When he pulled you over again after leaving the gas station, he should be charged with intimidating a witness.

[@eilenekellogg9356]

I feel sorry for this guy, it’s hard to fight the evil. Hope he can get a good lawyer.

[@chadrobert4375]

He shouldn’t have too

[@mcinteer19]

He asked for an attorney at the very start, the cops smooth talked him and said this was a simple traffic stop, no need for an attorney. 🙄 Wolf telling the sheep, “You don’t need a sheep dog.”
