When the Criminal is Smarter than the Police | Criminal Lawyer Reacts

[@erickrajniak8424]

I sat in jail in Orange Park Florida for over a month on armed home invasion, grand theft, larceny and some other stuff. The victim, the whole time, said it wasn't me.He said I saw who broke in, I don't know who it was, but it was not him. I had a bond hearing, $250,002, and was never arraigned. After over a month the prosecutor refused to prosecute and I got out. I was served with eviction while locked up. My house was unlocked and robbed. I Could replace everything except a cross necklace with my cousins ashes in it. The night I got home, the power was off, I was laying in my room and I heard someone walk on the porch. One knock and before I could get outta bed, two neighbor kids came walking in. I hadn't realized that I was missing everything I was yet and the kids made up something I believed at the time. Now, I know but can't prove, they had broken in my place and took most stuff worth anything. Nothing ever came of that. I ended up living with the man that was robbed because he felt bad I lost everything I did because of him being robbed. 2 months later a guy showed up at his house knocked on the door and when he got to the door he realized something wasn't right and tried to close the door. The guy pushed his way in and dumped him outta his wheelchair. (He was a quadriplegic. Could move his arms but had next to no use of his fingers. Nothing from the chest down) The neighbors heard him screaming and called the cops. The cops figured out who it was from the description of the person and vehicle. They watched around his house (the perpetrator) and saw the guy pull up in his old Camaro near a wooded area and take a small (2"×2") safe out and hide it in the woods. (That is what was stolen the time I was accused but there was a gun in the safe when I took the fall. That's why I was charged with 'Armed' home invasion) The guy was found guilty. IDK for sure if he did the first robbery too, but I know that it cost me 10K for a retainer on a lawyer that only put her name on paper as representing me, getting evicted and losing almost everything I had worked for. I wrote this because Da Baby spent 2 days locked up and released with no consequences for the law enforcement that put him there. Same thing happened to me, and how this happens really needs to be looked into.

[@jmor2252]

I know folks like to say, "better safe than sorry" and "see something say something on reporting stuff. While that might be semi-innocent and good, some police then take that small bit of info, then move forward with it as fact and really f*** over someones life when in reality it is a totally false accusation.

So I legally had it, but was still worried...so I told them I have stuff from work, but it was given to me, and many others...and started crying (tbf I was only 19) they literally laughed at me, and told me I was wasting their time by lying about not having medications from work. So I said, fine, search my home....they happily did . Where they found out I never stole a thing. He, however, was stealing food from the on base galley, and he ended up in trouble. He had told me he was given it. Seems like he was just projecting. I had no idea...but thats his well deserved karma.

[@greatngood66]

He's giving the context about who he is about. The 250k was from legally binded contracts or from one contract. He's giving them a reason why he isn't the suspect. It plays into his side of the story. There wasn't a motive for him to do it, he said that he wasn't at the scene which since they can't identify him, it checks out. He said that he didn't see a fight. He had no reason to rob a phone or to attack them. It helped him get himself away from the crime.

[@senseisecurityschool9337]

​@@greatngood66 That's absolutely what he's thinking. And he probably hasn't watched very many videos about civil asset forfeiture. The cops can take the money, claiming they believe it is proceeds from robberies or other crimes. He then has to sue them and prove otherwise. If he does sue, the cops hand it over to the feds and wait a year to get a cut back. Then he has to start all over by suing the feds. Yes he was trying to make the point that he has no reason to rob anyone. But you never tell the cops you have a bunch of cash - that's not a smart way to make a point.

I went through interrogation by detectives investigating child sexual abuse because of false allegations by a child protective services social worker who was going through a (documented) nervous breakdown. I had a lawyer in the hall. Every single question, I asked to talk to the lawyer. After *hours* of this going nowhere, she finally said "offer to do a polygraph". I did, they went and talked to the polygraph expert. It turns out they had so little to go on that they couldn't even form proper polygraph questions and finallynlet me go, but not without the parting shot that "this file will always be here waiting for you". I have strong feelings about child abusers, so I understand, but I still think they were assholes and *SOMEONE* should have had to answer for what I went through. In particular, I feel that social worker should have been charged with giving false information or perhap perjury if it was sworn statements. I *had* been a staunch police supporter, but between that and some overzealous cop trying to squeeze me for information that I didn't have while held *as a juvenile* in an interrogation room for hours because someone I had in my truck ditched a pipe when we got pulled over and other interactions (rude and arrogant about shit that is none of their business commenting on when discussing witnessing someone else's crime, asking me for help with missing persons and then completely ignoring my input and later fknding them *exactly* where I said they would likely be on a map and in and on), I am no longer a staunch supporter, I am barely on the side of supporting them at all. They lie, cheat, steal, often do the crimes they are supposed to be protecting us from and abuse power they have or are only perceived to have (overstepping) and have barely any oversight whatsoever, never mind with the will and teeth to actually have any control. You might take from this that I am some kind of shady character. I'm not, I just have had terrible luck with bad cops. Some good, but they are in the minority.

So he also implied he had knowledge of other people the police had murdered and made it look like a suicide. This was all over me missing a stop sign in the dark when I was an inexperienced driver.

Sure, you can still sue municipalities in general but the perpetrators go free.

In my younger years, i had a couple brushes with the law. I learned that the truth doesn't always set you free, and the best outcome i ever had from a case resulted in not saying a word to the cops.

I researched him also sooo... I really wish Bruce had included the fun facts and conclusion of this case. Charges against DaBaby were dropped as well as him winning a federal civil case in Dec,2022 against the "alleged victim" aka music promoter Kenneth Carey. Would have been nice if he'd included that info... just saying.

Truth stays exactly the same. This is actually incredible

[@kingreese7151]

I sat in jail for 3 days without an interrogation and false felony “charges”. I guess it was a 3 day investigation and they decided to let me go and never followed up on charges. I was facing armed robbery charges and unlawful possession of a firearm.

I'm sure the cops would love them some "preventative detention" over here as well. In fact they'd love Romania. Or better yet, Singapore.

Da Baby gave me aids. I was inspired by his hard work in building his brand and creating classic music and I used his example to achieve my own success. Now I have a Bugatti and have a staff plus a personal assistance. These aids are invaluable in helping me expand my financial opportunities. Thank you Mr. Baby for giving me aids.

Always ask for a lawyer they'll release you early. Could've saved him 48 hours of his life.

“To arrest somebody you have to have probable cause. We don’t have preventable detention like they do in Romania.” Then why are so many innocent people being incarcerated in prison serving sentences for crimes they did not commit?

My favorite thing in interrogations....granted, its from tv shows, but i am sure they have to draw this info from somewhere. I hear it alot and on alot of diff shows: Suspect asks for lawyer. Police officer states "Are you sure? Because im just trying to help you. Once you lawyer-up, i cant help you anymore. Does anybody know what exactly the detectives mean by "i cant help u once you get a lawyer"????

Question for Bruce. Dear Bruce, has there ever been a defendant so obviously guilty, that you refuse the case?

[@shannonmcstormy5021]

Even after someone has decided to turn their life around and "goes straight," it's often difficult for them to do so entirely. This can also apply if the situation is a "rags to riches." On the street, if someone really screws you over, or disrespects you, it's almost mandated that you respond with violence. Normal, law abiding citizens say, "I'd like to speak to your manager," or get a lawyer and sue. Someone who was either a chronic serious criminal or grew up in a neighborhood where violence was commonplace, they might just punch the employee rather than asking to speak to the manager or suing. This is why such individuals run with "a crew," people who will insulate the famous/wealthy person from getting into trouble.

[@emdo.unlimited555]

I haven't watched to the end (at 17:51 now), but I am starting to wonder if the person who brought the money to book Da Baby for an event, but were really getting scammed were the ones who fought the scammer. Hell it could be some bum on the street who decided to rob the guy. I am buying Da Baby's confidence that he had nothing to do with it. Maybe he just got me too 😂

[@ColtonDavis-t3d]

Even with an "airtight", don't talk to investigators without a competent lawyer present and willing to help. I was homeless and met a person named Darren who offered me a free room to stay in. He (Darren) was stealing power in a reckless manner and I even offered to help him get the bill paid to return power. He just wanted it for free though. On Thanksgiving morning, the apartment caught on fire. We (myself mainly) tried to put the fire out. I tried the best i could risking my life in the process. I had a neighbor call 911, I woke everyone up in the apartment building, I wrote a written statement for the Fire Marshall and spoke openly and honestly about every minute detail leading up to, during, and after the fire. Full 100% honesty about him stealing power and everything. Darren told investigators he thought I was mad at him and caught the apartment on fire on purpose. Arson 1 requires the "knowingly and maliciously" setting of a fire to be considered a crime. I was just glad no one got hurt because i reacted first when noticing the fire and did what any half decent person would do by alerting emergency personnel and trying to wake everyone up and trying to put it out. My first offer was 20 years in prison. I pleaded my case and the judge wasn't having it. I couldn't believe it. The Fire Marshall even said on the stand "we didn't do any forensics on the location because we believed Darren to be telling the truth". I ended up signing a deal for 1 year in prison and 7 on a suspended sentence. My lawyer even told me that we were up against the insurance company and a tenured Fire Marshall and no judge would ever rule in favor of my case. So my best advice is to NEVER SPEAK TO ANYONE AT ALL IN ANY TYPE OF INVESTIGATION. Even if you think you were the hero of the story doing what any good person would do, don't speak. Bias and corruption come in all forms and sizes and you never no who is going to spin up a web of lies to protect their interest. Oh, and here is the great part, the person Darren who was stealing power and blamed it on me successfully also got approximately $10,OOO IN A GOFUNDME ACCOUNT PLUS AN APARTMENT TO STAY IN RENT FREE FOR A YEAR.

[@tutinn_]

Theres nothing better then having a legit alibi, knowing in a situation that you are good amd either being targeted or the police dont know how to do their job and have tbe guilty until innocent mentality, and so you can literally mop the floor with them

[@miloradowicz]

I'd rather not waste 2 days beating some sense into them. You can't even sue them for the inconvenience, because they can legally detain you without bringing up charges for up to 48 hours under my country's CCP.
