Traffic Stop Warrant Arrest Fort Smith Arkansas State Police Troop H, Traffic Series Ep. 57

Tpr. L. Reather (H-12) stops a Chevrolet Malibu for a burned-out brake light. The passenger is arrested on an outstanding warrant.

[@psweeneyville]

You can tell Officer Reather didn’t want to take her in but he was very professional and sympathetic 🙏🏼

[@lindathackerbyrd]

Trooper Reather , God bless you for being so kind to this woman💙

[@vickieskridge1220]

This was so sad on many levels but the Trooper was so calm and professional.

[@NA-vb2iy]

Wow this trooper has a very nice demeanor and is very good at his job Thanks NST

[@DinFL]

Kudos to the officer for not only being professional but courteous.

[@terrymckay9186]

Dear citizens with outstanding warrants, you should probably take care of those type of issues before going out and running from them thinking that you have gotten away with it or the problem has magically disappeared. The laws arms are extremely long and their memory is only a radio dispatch away. I know it hurts whenever it catches up with you but you put yourself in that position and the hurt is self inflicted. Stay out of trouble and your days will be warrant free.

[@Jimleben]

if i ever get arrested, I hope he is the one that arrests me.. He has to be the nicest and most calm officer ever.

[@Adam_Gray]

Trooper Reather displayed the humanity all of us should strive for regardless of our professions.

[@nancypearson4952]

You said that perfectly!

[@joanlovelace7338]

Have to say this one hurt my heart. The Trooper was so kind I'm happy her friend could care for her dog.

[@zzzaccounting5924]

At least the dog made it home. That would have been tough if animal control had to take custody of it until somebody bonded her out.

[@lisaleonard2560]

Yes, I agree! This officer is amazing! Very professional and compassionate. Kudos!

[@Dispatcher-kv2im]

Awesome episode I appreciate it as always! Thanks for showing the transport as well! He’s a great trooper love to see great law enforcement officers who have a heart as long as the suspect allows!💙⭐️ He reminded me of J26.⭐️💙 always kills me how people with arrest warrants want to cry when they get arrested. It’s like well you probably knew about this for months did nothing about it and now you have to face the consequences instead of just taking care of business like a responsible adult! This goes without saying but thanks for the awesome series keep conquering!⭐️🇺🇸💙💛🎉👍

[@YoutubeSucks-x5q]

She didn't have any money to pay the fine off she just got a job she didn't even have money to roll her Marijuana. I'm sure she would of paid she didn't fight him. He was very good to her but I guess you just have to have better eyes. She just didn't see it xoming like that and If you were her maybe you would only hope for the best also.

[@jerrickguidry5306]

She only cried loud when the trooper was around her, he was a great trooper

[@stuzworldz]

felt sorry for her Doggy it knew.....and Yes JAIL Sucks....but when Ya shoulda gone to Court the FIRST Time and actually Show Up....ya got only yourself to blame ..

[@Kevin_747]

Rolling dirty. Don't skip court, it catches up to you.

[@rickholloway4970]

Everyone commenting on how nice he treated the woman, understand he would treat black people just the same but they fight, resist and argue... If everyone would go willingly when being arrested, everyone would be treated as such..

[@lisaleonard2560]

Kudos to her too! She was very polite towards the officer and very honest.

[@YoutubeSucks-x5q]

It's so sad she just got the job to pay the fine she didn't even have money for Marijuana rolling papers. Very sad I cry with her but No smoking please. Yucky she would be so beautiful without the drugs

[@dystopian..]

Absolutely top notch professional

[@rhondamc3642]

What a compassionate officer!! This is what happens when you cooperate with them. They just might cut you a break!!

[@donlarsenjr2332]

The passenger should educate herself on the law. NO ID required for passengers as long as no violations or suspicion of crime directly related to passenger.

[@charlainemarkesen4708]

Fancy stop sign. 71 years old and I haven’t seen one that flashes. Maybe it is for 🤶 Christmas 🎄

[@drewpatrick6553]

They're illuminated because they're new. A lot of those streets only had 2 way stops until recently

[@charlessaunders6083]

Still love this channel!

[@NaturalStateTransparency]

I'm glad!!

[@Steve_Farwalker]

It's just sad.

[@Cola64]

Look at the bright side once incarcerated she can get a full set of dentures for free

[@detangojet]

Usually love the videos. This one was kind of depressing

[@NaturalStateTransparency]

Yeah it was for me too.

[@joom9002]

People cry and carry on when they have a warrant because they don't want to go to jail... Seriously if they used their brand and didn't miss court then this wouldn't happen. No one to blame but themselves. There's no excuse. I have no sympathy for these foolish people.

[@reallifeeducation1720]

Trooper was very professional. Their is hope when a Trooper or cop doing it the right way

[@lynnl5878]

Don’t cry now. You should’ve went to court. I’m a woman and I can’t stand when women cry when they get pulled over and arrested. It’s so frustrating. Take care of your business and you won’t have to do all that.

[@user-kp3yf1jv3g]

Trooper Reather is not picking on her. Once he has knowledge that she has a warrant & they want her, he has no choice.This is extremely heartwrenching, but why didn't she just do the right thing to begin with. You can seeTrooper Reather is professional but still shows a gentle & kind demeanor.

[@rapman5363]

Kudos to the officer for his handling of this situation. I had friends that would get traffic tickets and just say “screw that” and rip them up and throw them away. Also didn’t go to court when they were scheduled and laugh at those “stupid cops” and just go along their way without a care in the world. And without fail they would be out havin fun traveling with family or out on a date they would get pulled over and it’s time to pay the piper. The warrant would pop up and Bingo!! It’s time to deal with the issues you’ve been kicking down the road thinking it would all go away.NOPE.....straight to jail...I’m not saying that’s what happened here but I would venture to guess it probably was.People forget or don’t get notified of court dates,but in a majority of the cases it’s someone who thinks that blowing off an issue and not dealing with it like an adult is o.k. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t like going to court, who does? But you’ve got to handle your business.If you get a ticket just pay it or go to court and fight it. If your scheduled to appear just show up. It sucks for sure,especially if you have to work and transportation issues can suck too. But you will get caught and it’s always gonna be at the most inopportune time.

[@bayadere8308]

Thanks for that; a realistic appraisal of this type of situation. It depresses me to think that the majority of people commenting would have been happy had the trooper turned a blind eye. As you imply: if you don't teach people they won't learn.

[@205ken4]

@@bayadere8308 I believe most people would have like to seen a blind eye turned to it because we believe police are for public safety and that she isn’t a danger to anyone - Probably not paying a fine is the reason for the warrant.

[@rebeccafantstegall1899]

There it is, protecting & serving..... themselves, not the citizens.

[@jamallabarge2665]

I bet that she got kicked loose fast..... others are getting signature bonds on real crimes.

[@danielwarpaint1963]

Gotta kick them loose, I mean the ones that can "foot the bill".

[@jeppajeppson2900]

If you can be trusted to show up for your court date yes 😂 don’t cut it you don’t show up

[@sheribrogden9247]

I am constantly checking my car lights before I drive and I don't even have a warrant.

[@reallifeeducation1720]

Poor pup and lady

[@kstar4302]

Hey I want to see Trooper First Class Matt Price arrested Sheriff Jimmy Stephens, in Clayton County Saturday. Can you get it?

[@wendym.7648]

If I ever get pulled over in Arkansas, I hope it’s this trooper.

[@alosnopicazo8389]

Can you do the one from Johnson county sheriff in Crawford . Thanks

[@captainchaos4082]

Stop boohooing! U didnt go to court when instructed like most do.He let u go on the weed so grow up & be responsible w/ court matters.

[@mikeholmanlovesyou]

this is why you never give your name as a passenger. put your seatbelt on. and stay quiet.

[@dannyrichards6233]

Thx 4 sharing

[@Takaride]

The crying can really tug at your heart strings!!

[@albertmoses472]

Don't cry. U can't do the time, don't do the crime. Don't miss a court date

[@YoutubeSucks-x5q]

Bless her heart ♥ she didn't take off running nor did she fight him a d was crying bcuz she didn't want to lose her job she didn't even have money for Marijuana rolling paper

[@MrOmegaEquinox]

Finally!

[@ginadisbrow9324]

I would be so proud if this Tpr. were my son or son-in-law. I do love my real s.i.l., but in all honesty, he could take a lesson in patience and compassion from this gentleman.😒

[@tumbleweed57]

Very compassionate trooper. But she should have taken care of business before she got caught. I don’t feel sorry for her at all.

[@bobbybaldwin3197]

Crying she knew she missed a court date come on put your big girl pants on

[@Mimzie-Arizona]

Don't know what she did for a crime but $5000 is a huge amount of money for her. Maybe she didn't understand she could make $25 a month payments. She obviously loves her dog

[@kennethgall]

The failure to appear could be for medical bill law suit which is a big scam in this area.

[@mikeward4505]

Why did the passenger give her license? The business was with the driver. You should take care of your responsibilities. Also learn your rights.

[@davem9572]

Should of went to court lady when you were supposed to

[@dannyrichards6233]

Plz make alot more

[@michaellittlejohns7968]

Did the female passenger go to prison for her 2 warrants

[@kathyboyce3277]

She's old enough to know better , come on

[@zackarykelsay3349]

That’s probably what the failure to appear was for is possession of weeds. I don’t know what women get out of crying a whining. It does no good

[@sheribrogden9247]

That was a big dog.

[@antrikikin]

Is she lawfully required to ID as a passenger in AR? Really feeling bad for 😞 Enjoy the content, btw 👍🏼

[@danielwarpaint1963]

Arkansas and Florida are "Implied Consent" states. Look that up please.

[@lewisratliff1484]

Yes when there a traffic stop everyone in vehicle is required to identify in all 50 states

[@mikeholmanlovesyou]

she is not UNLESS she committed a violation such as not having the seat belt on. otherwise. just say no thank you and stay silent.

[@dystopian..]

@@danielwarpaint1963 every state has an implied consent law

[@TheTmobley]

It all depends on the circumstances. An officer can request; and a passenger is not always required to provide ID - it is all dependent upon the circumstance of the situation that started and the facts developed during the stop and controlling State laws. There have been a couple Appellant decisions that go into detail - see Stufflebeam V. Harris for example which upheld the arrest under Obstruction of Government Operation out of Arkansas. But there is another out of Arizona (US v. Landeros) that held you did not have to provide id based on lack of "reasonable suspicion" that the person had violated the law or was in the process of violating the law. (IE: a Terry Stop) In each case, the Appellate Court took in all factors relating to the situations of the stops and the actions of all parties. Officers are given some latitude in Traffic Stops - not carte blanche to do whatever they want. But you also take a risk in refusing to provide as in Stufflebeam.

[@lifestooshortforcraziness3079]

OMG ! If these were black folks , they would have been pulled from the car cuffed and strip searched . In this case he didn't call for backup and why not !!!??? Again , if they were black folks I can assure you several cars of cops would have been on the scene and that car would have been searched with a fine tooth comb for drugs . I am damn sure we would've gotten off that easy . That car could have been loaded down with drugs and he didn't even check . These are the things that black folks complain about on a daily basis the difference in treatment that some folks seem to think that we're making up . This is proof that white privilege is alive and well even though he's taking her to jail . Keep in mind he found drugs on her , who's to say that other white female didn't have drugs !!!????

[@NaturalStateTransparency]

You should watch some more of my videos then.

[@ratagris21]

Some people feel victimized, picked on etc. It's taught upon them by others.

[@Jonathan7768]

That dog is dead by now. Too bad.

[@fin59shaw]

Picking on a Grandma.

[@captainchaos4082]

She may be but shes in her 40s & ought to know better

[@billcollins6894]

How so? Valid stop. Valid arrest. Very respectful.

[@dannyluttrell6050]

Bull Shi# stop for sure

[@gilmangus83]

Your mom likes them and their service.

[@laoboidennis479]

@danny I live in the area of the stop. I can definitely tell you that troopered followed them for a while. They don't typically patrol in that area. It's about 3-4 miles off the main interstate. The road the video started from is considered as a hwy tho.
