To be totally truthful he has been a county sherif lieutenant during that timeframe. ie he is not arresting anyone, he is the one checking that when you goto court you pass through the metal detector without carrying a bazooka in with you. All of his actions were illegal and many in uniform feel that they are above the law. I just wouldn't want people to assume he was a police officer as he is not. Hopefully he gets fired and jailed for the 5 or more years he shuold get. As this is Cook County he most likely will be forced to retire but no actual jail time.

yeah it's really hard to imagine the frustration you would feel in that moment. These cops follow company policy and not the law. To be perfectly honest the law is subtle and yet incredibly complicated. It's why a patrol officer was never intended to have the same right of interpretation as a judge. We need police, but they don't get the best and brightest. You can't expect cops to know the law as well as a judge, so they should be stripped of like 90% of their investigative abilities. Any invocation of constitutional law should be a required call to a judge or their representative, not the decision of some redneck captain who couldn't understand half the language in the law they enforce. Even if you eventually get justice in court, the process of bail/jail/awaiting trial should be considered one of the most despicable things a citizen can experience.

The problem isn't that "they" don't know...., the problem and issue is they are allowed to play coy and innocently ignorant to the facts and the law. They KNOW what the law is, but if they say it, now they're responsible for that knowledge which will in turn demand accountability. So, which is the easier and most discreet approach or route to take ...? To act as if they don't know the law, even at the expense of looking like they just don't remember or confused. When an individual (cop) is THAT cunning and sophisticated in hiding their deceptions, EVERY booking they have made, EVERY conviction the prosecution have won, should be revisited and reviewed with major scrutiny. (IMHO) Most COPS on the beat or anywhere will not give the the public the same consideration when confronting someone who they KNOW aren't out attempting to commit crimes. SMDH

[@Calphool222]

Okay, SGT, *now do you see why we, the citizens of this country want police reform* ?? WAAAAAY too many officers look the other way when they see this garbage. The "thin blue line" mentality is a problem, because it sets you up to harbor petty criminals like these people in your midst. You and I are **equal** before the law, and you've got a psychological screening problem where people who don't quite understand that idea are attracted to your profession and you don't screen them out adequately.

[@Juicememelord]

"Should be" and "are" are two very different things. This is why professions like mine require board exams, a license, and continuing education. 1 year after medical school continuing medical education (CME) is required (each state is slightly different). We have to do 100 hours of CME coursework per license period (2 years). Further "at least 6 hours of CME in cultural competency are required". And if we don't, we aren't allowed to work. Period, no questions asked. It's our responsibility to make sure we are competent and keep up with CMEs, cultural changes, new medical cases/treatments, etc. If a video like this one came out with a doctor (or any licensed medical professional) showing a clear lack of knowledge of basic medicine, more than likely the medical board would ban them for life and they would need to find a new profession.

Of course every crimnal feels that way. Obviously you have some issue if you think that is why a police officer joins the force. Meanwhile you would not have the courage to be a cop.But police should have to take a test over laws because you do forget that over time. For example I have a friend who is a lawyer and you specialize because there is no way you are going to effective trying to learn a million laws. Most driver cannot pass the written driver test either, even if they have driven for 30 years because you forget the detail over time like how many feet you stop behind a crosswalk. Most people do not retain their math skill they learn in HS either unless they use it in work. The other issue is that a lot of this filming stuff was illegal after 9/11 and many places have not really changed those laws out. But my feeling people have to video everything just do to be a pain and to annoy others. Which make them mot the best people either.
