I love how they tried to snatch her phone and threatened to arrest her on baseless charges yet they said they're not "one of the grimey ones". These cops are terrible

He even says a 'grimy one' would have tried to take the phone... I guess forgetting he already did try to just steal it?

Shameless is more like it. Being self aware is apparently not a prerequisite for a cop!!

[@brianpeyton6083]

Rarely do I disagree with a rating, the guy did try to take the phone. The attempt should be treated the same as if he did seize it, like they try to add on things.

[@bencheevers6693]

The cops could literally have said this is the way it is, we have a felony and we suspect you have evidence, you don't have to comply but if you choose not to we will get a search warrant and that will disrupt your life further when we come to your home and seize your phone with a warrant. We will get that video one way or another and if you delete it that is in fact a felony. We don't want to make an issue for you and we don't want to seize your phone but this is a serious charge and it will be pursued. I apologize for the inconvenience. That sounds pretty harsh but it's all the facts, it's courteous even though it's blunt and it just lays out the situation, you don't need to get into a fight or threaten arrest and should she decide not to comply with your request then you just follow the enshrined procedure, get the warrant and seize the phone. Don't step for a second or by an inch outside the bounds of your power as established by law, you don't need to be rude but you also don't need to acquiesce and drop it. That evidence is fairly crucial and there's no legal reason it wouldn't be collected one way or another.

[@cldpt]

C- is tame on this one. Any threat of illegal seizure by law enforcement should be treated as illegal. This is an F

[@kotlolish]

D- in my opinion... F is more reserved for those who blantaly abuse the law in retaliation. These guys were intidimidating for sure and bad.. but... they didn't arrest her for sticking to their rights when they could. It's like comparing someone who will beat you up for talking back or someone will beat you up if you ultimately get over their limit. Both are bad, just one you can avoid the conflict. Wich makes them "Slightly" better. F officers would have arrested her regardless if she complied. As you saw the officer was trying to arrest them for "Reaching, Threatening body language and such" But the Chief pushed it off and didn't let him. Wich means the chief KNEW it would be a bad arrest, wich is slightly better no?

[@PrimusxPilus]

AtA has a history of describing multiple illegal actions of cops and still not failing them.

[@Kerrigore2]

I don't think there's a single video on this channel that gives the police less than an F where multiple people aren't in the comments saying it deserved an F. Of course, if those commenters had their way, then every video would rate the police an F, making the rating system pointless. The whole point of the middle grades isn't that they didn't do something (maybe even multiple somethings) wrong, it's that what they did wrong wasn't as bad as some of the other examples. If they'd actually arrested her or assaulted her, or illegally seized her phone, they for sure would have gotten an F.

[@WitnessingTyranny]

​@@Kerrigore2Violating the law by violating rights should always be an F. It's criminal. An automatic felony when two or more are involved. That deserves an F. Plus, the law demands fines up to imprisonment and death. That's the law they swear to uphold.

[@Oofu]

Although I agree that the policemen did a terrible job, the grading that ATA uses goes from the worst case to the best case actions that each party does. There are realistic examples of the policemen arresting her purely for not giving her the evidence, or using unreasonable force for believing that the woman was gonna use her fist against her. I have to reiterate that yes, I agree that the policemen were bad, but there are worse things that they could have done to get an F.

[@DorkusDidactus]

I was also rather surprised at this rating. A "C" rating should be considered as what it is: acceptable but not noteworthy or above average in any way. For law enforcement, that should mean understanding the law (including individual rights) and respecting the law. This is a baseline requirement of the profession, *not* a superlative behavior. These officers made several statements and actions indicating that, at a minimum, they did not understand their authority. At best, they were ignorant. Worse than that would be *knowledge* of authority but disregard of it. It may be difficult to ascribe intent, but it seems likely that there was minimal ignorance. I think this goes to at least a D, if not an F. And let's not make the mistake of limiting an F to only the "worst case" scenario. I've never seen a video on this channel that displayed a "worst case" scenario, and I've watched all of them. Furthermore, that's not the baseline of comparison, because that is not the *expectation* of the profession (or any profession).

I agree that this is often very abused. But give me one moment...I suspect it is permissible so that people have a harder time wiggling out of legitimate charges. It's harder to lie about what you did wrong if you don't know what you are accused of. (kinda like a spouse accusing the other of cheating but not divulging the 'evidence') But, like I said, they abuse it and use it to cover incompetence. To be clear I am NOT on these cops' side.
