Exactly. This sheriff been around 50 years as an officer. Can you imagine going and filing an assault charge against anyone of the 500 people he knows, the friends of those people, anyone of his officers, or anyone they know? Right, neither can I. The corruption is so pervasive in every single police department that this makes none of the police accountable, responsible to uphold the law, or trustable in any way. Each and all of the officers in this video violated a stack of laws, procedures, and enforcement requirements for the positions they are paid for.

[@bgleason22]

@@DudditsJoeFinemusic When you understand that the Sheriff was refusing the warrants because he KNEW he was guilty of breaking the law, then all that sympathy disappears. It's not a case of chasing after phones, it's a case of exposing corruption. This is all too common among law enforcement agencies because they are allowed to police themselves. We need civilian oversight committees to stop the corruption.

[@TheSimianDeity]

I'm surprised this isn't a bigger issue in the video. I realize that the PD is trying to play nice because they need to maintain a professional relationship with the SD, but the warrant is for the phones, not for the person who is holding them. Passing the phone to a second party does not invalidate the court order, and the sheriff treating it like its some kind of protection against compliance is ludicrous. The Undersheriff is obstructing justice by refusing to hand over the phones, and I wish the PD had simply told him so.

[@tbdrummer67]

Right...and why was HE not charged with obstruction as well? Withholding material evidence that is spelled out in a warrant is the definition of obstruction.

[@ravinous]

Sheriff is a County level, not town. Police = Town, Sheriff Office = County, and State Troopers/Police = State. The power dynamic depends on the state who supersedes who and in what instance of jurisdiction. For my state the Sheriff, an elected position, holds highest priority within their given county over both local Police and State Troopers operating within it spare specific circumstance or metro area police departments per a County ordinance. The most common specific circumstances are disciplinary actions against the Sheriff issued by the state AG or when there is a operation of a Federal Agency with another Agency involved. Federal agencies, ie the FBI, typically under most circumstances that operate within it's own limitations, supersede any local jurisdiction. So while Sheriffs can hold a lot of power due to being a County level enforcement, they still must adhere to the will of the County Executive (an elected position most voters overlook), State AG and Judiciary, and of course Federal power.

There is no way to completely remove corruption from any law enforcement agency. Who guards the guards is a classic problem. Even the DOJ and FBI are full of corrupt agents.

@Falcon-um7vo It's difficult to be convinced otherwise when you have personally witnessed atrocities being committed by the police. I also have seen many clips of police officers who get special treatment if they've committed a crime and some lengths police departments go to defend their reputation. Many people have good reasons for believing in what they believe in, including you. I by no means think that most cops are evil- most cops are trying to do the right thing but there is a handful who unfortunately ruin it for the rest of them. Cops are human, humans could do better.

@Falcon-um7vo I think you misinterpreted my reply and then became rude towards me as a result. I was simply adding to your comment by talking about how personal experience and other factors impact the way police is portrayed. I was not accusing you or implying anything negative about you or your comment- this is an example of situational hyper-awareness; in KZbin comments section it is common for people to disagree with eachother and be rude to eachother which is why you automatically had this predisposition to be defensive in KZbin comments because SOME people are toxic. Key word: SOME not all, and I was simply adding an innocent comment to start s conversation but I am being accused of misinterpreting and apparently implying that "You think all cops are not corrupt" (I am not an idiot and I didn't think you were either- why would I imply something so stupid). You extermely misinterpreted my comment and you have pissed me off & put me in a bad mood simply because you just wanted to spread hatred instead spreading happiness and having a civilised debate. That's not ok. Are you going to apologise or are you going to attack me further?
