As an officer I highly recommend you don’t stop. There are a lot more impersonators than people realize(many states have a “clearly marked patrol vehicle” statue in regard to traffic enforcement meaning if you’re operating In a traffic enforcing capacity you can’t do that while undercover to avoid entrapment. If you have any question as to the legitimacy you call your nearest dispatch center and get clarification from them if you’re being stopped. That way someone with Legitimate authority can come get them. If there’s one thing LEO’s really can’t stand are pretenders (like this probation officer).

[@goldboy150]

6:48 “evidently you are being detained” He did actually say it...eventually. I see his failure to repeat that when asked (because the civilian didn’t hear it when he said the above) as evidence more of that passive aggressive/condescending attitude many cops exhibit in these videos. Like he’s a teacher or parent of a 6 year old saying “well if you had just listened to me you’d know and so I’m not repeating myself to the likes of you”. As a side note, I’m not sure why this is so prevalent amongst cops in the US. I’m from Australia and I’ve literally never seen/heard of/experienced this kind of attitude from cops here. In normal traffic stops everyone is pleasant to each other so long as the other person is pleasant back. Never seen a cop (or fake cop,’as in this situation) pull someone over and immediately be aggressive, rude and condescending. Then again, we also don’t have plagues of people getting killed by cops either.

Yea, that's a great way of getting in trouble in some places (as explained in the video) lol... Depending where one is anyone can pull over/stop another and wait for the police.

[@thegman2484]

@@aennaenn7468 Partially correct. Qualified Immunity ONLY applies to those actions where the LEO's actions were not "well established" to the point a "reasonable person/officer" would know that by engaging in that action, they were violating someone's constitutional rights. Example: when the Taser was first introduced, no case law existed governing it's use so people were being tased multiple times or it was employed when it should not have been. Now, case law exists that has delineated when, where, and how the Taser may reasonably be employed without violating someone's constitutional rights. However, these rulings are constantly evolving as individuals affected by police actions sue them and courts rule their actions were unconstitutional. In this case, a reasonable person (the probation officer) should certainly have known he did not have the requisite statutory authority to effect a traffic stop on a motorist, thereby violating his 4th Amendment rights, simply to lecture him on his driving. However, unless there has been case law on the specific point of a probation officer stopping a motorist, in NC, a court may find the agency has QI but the PO might not.

No question of it. I watched it several times. The second time he even catches himself and stumbles, changes his wording. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing, he knew he was breaking the law, exceeding his authority, and violating the rights of the unlawfully detained driver. He knew exactly what he was doing, and deliberately and carefully played weasel word games, semantics, and beat around the bush. Hopefully he'll be held accountable for this. Can't say as I'm holding my breath, but he damn well OUGHT to be fired for this. I'd bet money this piece of work probably couldn't meet the requirements to be a police officer, but just barely squeaked by the ones for probation dept, and has spent the length of his employment pretending to be a real cop. I'd love to see the results of a psych eval on this jerk.

[@coyote4326]

He wasn't being "imprisoned" falsely, he was being "detained" falsely. Big difference. A detainment can constitute something as simple as a cop walking up to you and asking you a few questions regarding a crime that happened nearby. And imprisonment is when you've not only been handcuffed and led to a jail, but were charged by a prosecutor of the state and falsely found guilty. Depending on the state, you technically haven't been imprisoned until you've been found guilty by a court of law and issued a sentence, even if you had already spent time prior to that in jail awaiting a trial or court hearing.
