The Consequences Of Pretending To Be A Police Officer

[00:00:00]You're literally pulling away the >> because you're resisting me. Somebody help.

[00:00:04]>> You're suffocating me.

[00:00:07]>> We all know that policing is a conflictbased profession. And sometimes personalities clash. Add boost to the mix and now you have a force multiplier.

[00:00:14]But very rarely does it turn into the person resisting, kicking doors, screaming at the top of their lungs, having to be hobbled in the back of a police car, then slipping those hobbles.

[00:00:23]This is one of those.

[00:00:24]>> What did they What did she do? What did she do?

[00:00:26]>> She's impersonating a cop.

[00:00:28]>> What did she say? She like pulled in front of the crosswalk where I was crossing.

[00:00:31]>> Okay. What did she say? Tell me.

[00:00:32]>> She tells me that she's a cop that she's investigating me or something like that.

[00:00:35]>> All right. Raise your right hand.

[00:00:36]>> Yeah.

[00:00:37]>> Do you swear in a right hand? Right hand. You swear in a far right hand. You just told me the little truth.

[00:00:41]>> Yeah.

[00:00:41]>> All right. So, it's really interesting when I see officers do that. Raising the right hand and affirming and swear the truth. I know there are some departments that do it. I've reviewed videos where I've seen officers do that. We never had to do that in my department. If someone could in the comment section write if your department has witnesses affirm and swear that they're telling the truth and what would happen if they don't do that.

[00:00:57]It's just not a very common practice that I see and I think that it might be regional, but please someone share in the comment section about that practice.

[00:01:08]>> Oh, 47 central.

[00:01:11]>> Hi, Sheriff's Office.

[00:01:12]>> How are you?

[00:01:13]>> Good. So, I'm having somebody tell me that.

[00:01:16]>> Yeah, he Yeah, he was like harassing me.

[00:01:18]So, I don't know.

[00:01:19]>> So, what did you tell him?

[00:01:20]>> You didn't call You didn't call him.

[00:01:22]>> No. No. What did you tell him?

[00:01:24]>> I didn't say anything to him. He was harassing me. Well, how was he harassing you?

[00:01:27]>> He was like, "Oh, you're just doing this special." Like, no.

[00:01:31]>> I'm already getting some indicators that there might be some type of substance on board at this time of the day. And I'm looking at this body cam and it looks like it's in the daytime. Sometimes at that time of the day, I'm thinking it could be meds, especially if I don't smell booze. But obviously, if I smell booze, it could be booze and meds.

[00:01:45]Something to take into consideration when it's that early in the day.

[00:01:47]>> What do you mean he was harassing you?

[00:01:48]Again, all you said is all All he said is, "I'm doing something disrespectful."

[00:01:52]What did he say?

[00:01:53]>> I don't know. That's the whole thing.

[00:01:54]>> So, how is he harassing you? I don't know. That's why I like >> But hold on. Hold on real quick. You told me that he's harassing you.

[00:02:00]>> Yeah.

[00:02:00]>> But then when I ask you how he's harassing you, you don't >> I don't know because why why is he calling the cops?

[00:02:06]>> But again, so you've been staying in the same area driving around?

[00:02:10]>> Because I >> Do you mind if I get your ID?

[00:02:12]>> Yeah, absolutely.

[00:02:14]>> Absolutely.

[00:02:15]>> Do you stay here at this?

[00:02:17]>> I live here. If you're getting indicators that a person might be under the influence of something, one key observation of officers is watching the fine motor skills when they're attempting to retrieve items that the officer has asked for, like a license, registration, or proof insurance.

[00:02:30]Whenever I would look at them pull their license out of their wallet, I would always look to see how they would pull it out if the fine motor skills will work. Very often, you'll see a person have a difficult time pulling it out, and some people do. My wallet's tight, and it's hard for me to pull my DL out, but you'll notice, and you should document different things, and many times they drop it. He's being that he's being a parent with his pitull and everything like that. He was he was yelling at me for no reason.

[00:02:52]>> Okay, that's a credit card matter.

[00:02:57]>> Well, if you knew then you would have grabbed the right one.

[00:03:00]>> Don't try me. Can you call Martha and you can call Billy Garza?

[00:03:04]>> That's fine. I'll call Billy right now.

[00:03:05]Have you had anything to drink today?

[00:03:07]>> You didn't call both of them.

[00:03:09]>> Hey, start heading over here. Possible one. Did you recently move?

[00:03:13]>> No. I listen.

[00:03:14]>> No, no, no. I'm asking you. No, this the reason why I'm asking.

[00:03:17]>> No, I live there. That's why I own my >> Okay. So, did you just pull over here because I pulled you over or?

[00:03:24]>> No, because you were sitting there around because that guy, he was there sitting here harassing me.

[00:03:29]>> Okay. But no, I'm just asking cuz you're in the drive. I got you. No, no, I got you. I got I'm not trying to mess with him right now.

[00:03:35]>> He was down the road.

[00:03:36]>> Hey, real quick.

[00:03:37]>> I believe the officer is down this line of investigation because the address on her license doesn't match the address of the residence that she pulled into.

[00:03:43]There were some skips in the edit and sometimes it's hard to piece everything together. I believe that's the direction that he's going with his line of questioning.

[00:03:49]>> Listen, the reason why is cuz you're in front of somebody's house. I didn't know when I asked you. You said you lived here.

[00:03:54]>> This is Okay, I know who this house is.

[00:03:56]>> Okay, that's what I'm asking. I'm asking why you pulled up in here and you said you lived here and the address on here is different.

[00:04:01]>> Okay.

[00:04:02]>> So, how again, how was he harassing you?

[00:04:04]>> Cuz I was driving cuz I was trying to talk to you and he was like, "Who are you?"

[00:04:10]>> Have you ever Have you ever seen him before or anything? Yeah, I've been here. They're plenty of time.

[00:04:14]>> Why?

[00:04:15]>> Yo, tell the cops right now. Right now.

[00:04:24]>> What?

[00:04:25]>> If you translate what she said literally, she says, "Is your house now?" Here is what she said. I don't know if it's what she has on board or if she just has really bad Spanish, but that's just something why the person probably responded the way they did. Like, what?

[00:04:38]>> Hi, this is Deputy Rodriguez of Blue Sheriff sauce. How's it going? Spanish.

[00:04:42]>> Okay, that's fine. He can be whatever he wants to be. Hey, can you hear me?

[00:04:47]>> Uh, yeah.

[00:04:48]>> Hey, it's Ed Ro Sheriff's Office. How's it going?

[00:04:51]>> Hello.

[00:04:51]>> Hey, do you reside at 316 Kring?

[00:04:55]>> Yes. Okay, sir.

[00:04:56]>> I just want to make sure. We're I'm doing an investigation right now and she just randomly pulled in here and it's not on her on her ID. So, we're just trying to confirm. I was just trying to see why why she was over here. Um along with the further investigation that I'm doing. I guess she just wanted to prove that she knew somebody that lived here.

[00:05:10]But >> uh she I mean she's just stopping by. I mean she was just checking on me to see if I was home but she actually lived there.

[00:05:17]>> Okay. Yeah. If I need to talk to you about that, we could talk about it in a second. Um but just give me a second.

[00:05:22]Give me one second.

[00:05:23]>> Thank you. Bye. Question for you. Do you have anything to drink today?

[00:05:26]>> Nope.

[00:05:26]>> Okay. I can smell the odor of alcohol coming from your breath.

[00:05:29]>> Okay. So I can go to his house so he can >> No, you're right now you're detained.

[00:05:32]>> No, cuz I >> No, hold on. I'm telling you right now.

[00:05:35]>> I don't have I have no keys on me.

[00:05:37]>> Okay. You are detained. I saw you driving the vehicle. You're detained. If you try to go in the house, I'll put you under arrest.

[00:05:45]>> How?

[00:05:46]>> You are currently being detained. I'm giving you lawful order to stay here while I have somebody do feel so body exercises with you. Okay?

[00:05:52]>> If you want to leave and go and try to go inside the house, at that point, you'd be impeding my investigation, going against the lawful order.

[00:05:58]Therefore, it's resisting you go to jail.

[00:05:59]>> This is interesting because there's a lot of good case law that we can cover with this. Even if the officer does not witness them driving the vehicle, if you have your keys and the vehicle and you are inside of it, you can be charged with DUI in most jurisdictions. Actual physical control. So, are you trying to go inside?

[00:06:14]>> Ma'am, stay here.

[00:06:16]>> You're not ma'am. Stay here.

[00:06:18]>> Can you not talk to me?

[00:06:20]>> No, you're staying right here. If you want to try to go inside, I will put you in handcuffs right now and take you to jail.

[00:06:24]>> How are you going to put me in handcuffs?

[00:06:25]>> Cuz I'm giving you a lawful order to stay right here until we conduct field field exercises.

[00:06:30]>> Okay, then that's fine. And you can call >> and you can call >> Okay, I'll call who? I'll call Billy Galora right now.

[00:06:38]>> Ann Newman.

[00:06:39]>> Okay, great. You know deputy's names.

[00:06:41]Name dropping is a very bad idea. It almost never works. In fact, when an officer gets their name dropped, they usually get upset with the person that dropped their name, even if it's a family member. And most officers will say, "Listen, if you get hemmed up, you deal with it cuz you got yourself into the situation." Because why would you want to bring discredit to an officer's name with the behavior that you're having? If you want to talk to the officer about it afterwards, go for it.

[00:07:02]But name dropping almost never works.

[00:07:03]>> Can you tell them to let me inside your house because I can't leave obviously.

[00:07:07]>> No, you're being detained.

[00:07:08]>> They won't let me leave. Like, I don't want to leave. So, I'm going to sit inside and like if you could come to the house so I can go. Like, they trying me right now. This is a a very obstruction to your neighborhood right now. And he needs to let me go inside your house as you allow me to and that's it. Even if he allows you in the house, you're not going in the house right now. You're being detained.

[00:07:31]>> Why?

[00:07:32]>> One, because I can smell as I saw you driving and doing an investigation, I can smell the keys on me.

[00:07:38]>> You don't need keys.

[00:07:40]>> You need to be in physical control of the vehicle. I have >> I'm in physical.

[00:07:44]>> Listen, I'm not going to argue with you.

[00:07:45]If you want to try to walk away, I'll take you to jail.

[00:07:48]>> Okay.

[00:07:48]>> Call [ __ ] with then.

[00:07:50]>> I I'll call whoever you want me to call.

[00:07:51]You're still in the wrong and you're on body camera right now.

[00:07:54]>> Okay, sure.

[00:07:54]>> You're not helping yourself right now.

[00:07:56]>> Okay, call. All right. Works for you.

[00:07:58]You want me to call Billy, too?

[00:07:59]>> Yeah, both of them.

[00:08:00]>> I'll call all of them if you want to.

[00:08:02]It's just not helping your situation right now.

[00:08:04]>> Okay. He's waiting. He's going to open the garage for me. Thank you.

[00:08:07]>> If you go inside, you'll be placed under arrest.

[00:08:09]>> No, I wouldn't because he's letting me out.

[00:08:12]>> No, you are detained. You are not stepping into that house. You want me to talk to your friend? I'll talk to Gilberto again.

[00:08:17]>> It's his name is Eberto.

[00:08:18]>> Oh, okay. I'll talk to like So, correct his name. Don't do that. They're trying to take me and that's not fair. Like I'm not driving. I don't have no keys in my like my possession or nothing. I'm trying to just go inside and that's it.

[00:08:33]>> If you go inside, you'll be placed on a rush for resistance.

[00:08:35]>> If she were to take off, run and go inside the residence and close the door, would the officer be allowed by law to enter the residence and take her into custody? If you answered yes, then you would likely be correct. Lang versus California. It was a 2021 case. It was a 90 ruling. Lang looked at several things to say whether an officer can go in under a misdemeanor case. threats to life, destruction of evidence, imminent escape, and some genuine emergency. At least some of those have to be met if you're going to make entry on a misdemeanor. And again, on this DUI situation, if she runs inside of the residence, the alcohol will dissipate out of her system, and then you don't have the evidence. The destruction of the evidence with the alcohol dissipating from her system is going to be likely good to go.

[00:09:10]>> I don't care whose house this is. If you leave our investigation, cuz you're being stopped right now, and I'm waiting on a second unit to do field right now.

[00:09:18]Where >> stopped? Stopped. You see the blue lights? You see those blue lights on my car? Means you're being detained.

[00:09:24]>> Pull that up on me.

[00:09:25]>> Yes.

[00:09:26]>> And I saw you driving.

[00:09:27]>> No, you didn't.

[00:09:28]>> It's on camera.

[00:09:30]>> Okay, show me.

[00:09:32]>> All right.

[00:09:33]>> Don't touch.

[00:09:34]>> Now, based on what the officers are saying, it seems very possible that this woman was trying to trick the other man into thinking that she was a law enforcement officer by providing false information about herself. And this is actually quite interesting to me as I started learning a lot more about protecting myself and my information from attackers online. after seeing that even people like myself who take their privacy very seriously can still find themselves at the risk of being hacked, having their data stolen, and often being impersonated online. You see, right now there are potentially thousands of websites trying to obtain and sell your personal information.

[00:10:50]>> Put the phone on the car.

[00:10:52]>> I will remove the phone from you. You're going to be I'm putting you in handcuffs right now >> and I'm telling you not to touch me.

[00:10:56]>> I am telling you put the phone on the car.

[00:10:58]>> Call Martha.

[00:11:01]>> Call Martha. Hey Siri, call Martha.

[00:11:03]>> 47 Central. Okay. Can I get another unic code three, please?

[00:11:05]>> Yep. You better do it. Hey Siri, call Martha.

[00:11:09]>> Hey Siri, call Martha.

[00:11:12]>> Hey Siri, call Martha.

[00:11:16]>> Stop.

[00:11:16]>> Hey Siri, call Martha.

[00:11:18]>> Alpha 47. I have one resisting.

[00:11:20]>> You're I'm not resisting.

[00:11:22]>> You're literally pulling away. That's code for >> You're resisting me. Stop turning around.

[00:11:26]>> You're resisting me. Am I >> Stop.

[00:11:28]>> Here we have the officer requesting another unit roll code three. That means lights and siren. If you ask 10 officers, some are going to say yes, they'd roll code. Some are going to say no, they would not roll code. The biggest point that I make is that if you do decide to have an officer roll code, the second that you can shut them down, broadcast it on the air and say, "Shut it down." Because there are so many incidences where officers end up getting into accidents when they're rolling code. It's an extraordinarily dangerous practice.

[00:11:50]>> You know, he has a camera, right?

[00:11:51]>> Good. I have A CAMERA, TOO. YOU'RE NOT HELPING YOURSELF RIGHT NOW.

[00:11:54]>> See that? You are being resistant to me.

[00:11:58]>> Stop pulling away.

[00:12:00]>> I'm not pulling away. You are literally pulling your wrist away.

[00:12:02]>> I'm not pulling away.

[00:12:05]I am not pulling away.

[00:12:07]>> Let's go.

[00:12:08]>> Don't touch me. Don't touch me.

[00:12:11]>> Listen, >> I want Peter. I want Billy and everybody.

[00:12:15]>> You can call all those people later.

[00:12:17]>> Okay, we'll call No, >> let's go. I'm going to put her in my car real quick and we'll talk and we'll do about the the signal >> one near me.

[00:12:22]>> Oh, that sucks.

[00:12:23]>> Can you like Can you touch me besides him?

[00:12:26]>> Let's go walk.

[00:12:28]>> Can you take him off me? My phone.

[00:12:30]>> Keep walking.

[00:12:32]>> I'm not.

[00:12:34]>> Come here.

[00:12:35]>> [ __ ] What? I need [ __ ] What?

[00:12:37]>> You have anything sharp on you that's going to poke me, stab me, stick me?

[00:12:39]>> Nope. But I don't want [ __ ] one. I want [ __ ] one right now. I don't want Billy, Galiza, and Martha attack right now.

[00:12:46]>> Got anything in your waistband?

[00:12:48]>> Nope. You didn't look cuz you want to touch me right.

[00:12:51]>> Oh, shut up. Come on.

[00:12:52]>> Oh, shut up. What the >> sit down? I your >> the officer said, "Oh, shut up." Is that really going to hurt a person's feelings? Likely not. Is it considered professional? No, it's not. And I'm not going to tell officers how to speak.

[00:13:11]What I am going to say is this.

[00:13:13]Everything that an officer does is scrutinized to the highest degree. If you put those into a compilation, and they do, can that cause issues for the officer? Absolutely, 100%. So operating exclusively in a realm of professionalism, no matter how difficult they are being, is always going to end up in your favor. I have this saying, the onus is on the professional.

[00:13:33]Remember that phrase, my goal is to help guide new officers into professionalism and for the collective of us to think about how can this be done the best way.

[00:13:42]That's why I say what I say.

[00:13:43]>> Okay. So that just said that everything there. I just read it. So you need to be releasing it.

[00:13:48]>> No.

[00:13:49]>> Yes, you did. I read everything just there.

[00:13:51]>> Good for you. Yes. To read and you're going to jail. You're going to jail.

[00:13:57]>> No, I'm not.

[00:13:58]>> Yes, you are.

[00:13:58]>> No, I'm not. You're releasing me under your competition.

[00:14:02]>> I believe she read information on the screen of his mobile computer inside of his vehicle. A lot of times we put the screen down or we flip it down, some departments don't have that capability, but flipping it down or turning the screen so a person can't read it because there's a lot of information that a person could read, especially the witness information can be on that screen. So that screen has to be highly protected because the information is definitely something that an officer doesn't want a suspect in the back reading and they're in the ideal space to be able to read that information >> as a black person.

[00:14:32]>> Listen, my my color, my skin has nothing to do with anything that happened today.

[00:14:36]>> Yeah, they they didn't give me opportunity like they like he really just like like for what?

[00:14:42]>> For what?

[00:14:43]>> I don't know. You tell me.

[00:14:45]>> You don't know.

[00:14:45]>> You tell me.

[00:14:46]>> You don't know. You're trying to bring race into this.

[00:14:48]>> So, you're saying you don't know?

[00:14:50]>> I don't know. I just got here. What happened?

[00:14:52]>> Wow. You don't know?

[00:14:54]>> You want me to call Gilbert for you?

[00:14:56]>> Yes.

[00:14:56]>> So, you're fine if I grab your phone and call Gilbert?

[00:14:58]>> Yes. And I want you to call even >> Gilbert. Gilbert.

[00:15:02]>> That's the homeowner.

[00:15:03]>> Okay.

[00:15:03]>> How do you unlock your phone?

[00:15:04]>> I don't know. Because I am.

[00:15:07]>> Okay. Then we'll tow your car.

[00:15:08]>> It's that simple.

[00:15:10]>> Respons.

[00:15:13]>> Literally trying to say you towing Spence and you want to be a smart No.

[00:15:16]No, I need you to you have this phone number memorized.

[00:15:19]>> Yeah.

[00:15:19]>> Okay.

[00:15:19]>> So, the smart comment by the officer again utilizing that terminology when you're speaking to a person. If there's a compilation of those, your sergeant gets it or you're involved in some type of situation. Is that going to showcase you as a professional officer using that type of language when engaging with suspects or citizens? It's a question.

[00:15:37]Think about if you would want that compilation of video scene with you utilizing terminology like that when engaging with citizens.

[00:15:42]>> Hey, Gberto. How are you?

[00:15:44]>> Hey, this is Rodriguez again. So your friend's going to jail. Her car is parked in your driveway. Do you want us to leave it there or you want us to have it towed? Okay. And and that's why that's why I'm affording the opportunity cuz honestly we didn't have to. So I'm trying not to be that much of a pain in the ass. So I told her if if we get a hold of you and the keys are here, you're fine with it leaving being here.

[00:16:03]>> Where do you Where do you want us to leave the keys?

[00:16:05]>> Why am I being arrested?

[00:16:06]>> In policing, we get frustrated sometimes after a whole shift of dealing with whatever or person who is incredibly difficult. It becomes frustrating. There has to be a space where the officer knows how to get to that space and reset and engage in the professional interactions because policing is about dealing with difficult people most of the time. And to allow that to affect you so much emotionally, it's going to create a degree of stress. The reset when dealing with a difficult person is the true sign of professionalism in policing.

[00:16:31]>> So, right now, you're being charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer, >> resist resisting an officer without violence, and then we're going to >> we're going to be conducting a DUI investigation later. I gave you my license.

[00:16:44]>> I'm now requesting you submit to a lawful test your breath for the purpose of determining its alcohol content. You want to provide me a breath sample?

[00:16:53]>> Okay. You're going to provide me a breath sample, yes or no?

[00:16:55]>> No, because I'm not allowed to provide a test.

[00:16:58]>> If you refuse to take the test I requested of you, your driving per will be suspended for a period of one year for a first refusal or 18 months. Do you still refuse to submit to this breath test?

[00:17:07]>> Everybody and I call for >> Are you going to provide me a breath sample? Yes or no? I asked for everyone to come over and you have not respect.

[00:17:15]>> Are you going to provide me a breath sample? Yes or no?

[00:17:17]>> I will not order.

[00:17:19]>> Okay.

[00:17:19]>> You're kidnapping me right now. You know that, right? You're kidnapping me right now. You know that, right?

[00:17:25]>> I noticed in a lot of videos I've seen that people are unrestrained with their seatelt in the backseat of the vehicle.

[00:17:30]And I don't know if that's okay in some departments. In my department, you had to seat belt people inside their vehicles. Could you please just chime in if there's a policy in your department that a person had to be seat belted in and if there was a way that you could diverge from that policy how and why you would do that? I'm very interested in knowing that >> cuz I asked you to call the district and you have not done it and you can have your phone or whatever on. That's okay.

[00:17:50]You're kidnapping me right now.

[00:17:54]>> I want to call Martha.

[00:17:57]I want to talk to Martha or Newman right now.

[00:18:03]ALL RIGHT, MELISSA, STAND UP.

[00:18:21]>> OH, my phone. I want Billy Galiza right now.

[00:18:24]>> You know Billy?

[00:18:25]>> Yes, I know.

[00:18:26]>> I like Billy.

[00:18:27]>> Yeah, me too.

[00:18:28]>> He's a good deputy >> and I want to be respected. Okay, that's what I'm doing.

[00:18:33]>> I want my handcuffs off me because I need Billy to be here.

[00:18:38]>> I know Billy >> or Okay. Or Newman.

[00:18:41]>> Newman. Newman is uh >> Okay. Or Adam check. One of them right now.

[00:18:45]>> Well, item check works with the >> I don't care. One of them needs >> and I want my parent guardian.

[00:18:52]>> Well, let's do this one first. Okay.

[00:18:54]>> No, because y'all trying me right now.

[00:18:56]Like you got Tiffany under arrest for no reason. You ain't even ripped me by Miranda, right? I need the shoes.

[00:19:02]>> Where's my Miranda writes?

[00:19:03]>> I need the shoes to be hurt.

[00:19:04]>> MTO, >> where's What happened to him? Rodriguez, >> there you go. She >> Where's Rodriguez?

[00:19:12]>> Don't touch me. She can touch me. Don't touch me. Don't touch me.

[00:19:16]>> This is really good. This female deputy here, tactical bun and totally in deescalation mode. I really, really like what I'm seeing as far as how she's handling this because the suspect is still being incredibly difficult. She's not taking it personal. She's maintaining her professionalism and she looks like she's trying to deescalate the situation. Well, >> I got you.

[00:19:31]>> Don't touch me. You're touching me and you have my ID. Don't touch me.

[00:19:35]>> Well, you're not getting your ID back.

[00:19:38]>> Let's go this way. Let's go.

[00:19:41]>> We have her policy. Okay.

[00:19:42]>> No, not touch me.

[00:19:46]>> You're okay.

[00:19:47]>> Yep. You're good.

[00:19:49]>> You're But I WANT HIM TO GET OFF ME. WHY IS HE dismantling me?

[00:19:54]>> All right. I'm going to attach him to the bench. Stop touching me.

[00:19:57]>> Are you going to relax?

[00:19:59]>> Yes. I don't care. I don't want to touch.

[00:20:01]>> Hey, I He's not touching you. I took over. Okay. Let me get you to stand up for me real quick. Okay.

[00:20:06]>> Really good. I mean, she just tapped the male officer out and said, "I got it.

[00:20:10]I'm handling the business." It's a method to deescalate the situation. And I speak of deescalation a lot because a lot of officers get hand up and sometimes lose their career when they have a challenge with the deescalation situation and no one wants to see that happen.

[00:20:20]>> Listen, remember everything that we do is recorded on the camera and COMES UP IN COURT. THE body touched me.

[00:20:28]>> All right. So, do you WANT MY ADVICE?

[00:20:30]>> I DON'T WANT TO go home tomorrow.

[00:20:32]>> I understand. But where you're at, you got some stuff you got to do before you go home.

[00:20:39]>> Do you want my advice?

[00:20:41]>> Yes, ma'am.

[00:20:43]>> Okay. You You got to pull it together.

[00:20:44]You got to calm down and not make things any worse than they already are.

[00:20:50]>> Mission.

[00:20:53]I I understand that, BUT WHERE YOU'RE AT, Miss >> Hey. Hey, you need to calm down.

[00:21:04]>> Come get me, please.

[00:21:06]>> I I can't. You're going to have to go through this process. I'm telling you, >> they already are. Listen, you need to be respectful to those those deputies.

[00:21:16]>> I believe this is one of the officers that was named dropped. I'm not 100% sure, but it sounds like they made a call for her out of a courtesy to a person that she may know that might be a deputy on the department or somehow related to the department. Here's a good opportunity for officers to say, "How do I handle this situation? If I get a call about a person, an acquaintance, a friend, a family member, and they're in custody. How do I handle it?" Allow the officer who's on duty to do their job and incline the person to be respectful throughout the process. Exactly what this offici in that situation. That's probably the best advice that you can get about how to handle it.

[00:21:50]>> Miss Martha, what they said that I did, please tell me because I didn't touch them.

[00:21:56]>> Listen, >> I didn't touch them.

[00:22:00]>> Okay, so don't get any additional charges.

[00:22:02]>> But I just want to be home.

[00:22:05]>> I understand. So don't get any additional charges and it'll make things faster. You're >> smarter than thinking you be my parent.

[00:22:11]You can come get me. Are you there?

[00:22:15]>> Yep.

[00:22:16]I need to go.

[00:22:17]>> Okay. All right.

[00:22:18]>> She's busy. She's at work.

[00:22:20]>> Okay.

[00:22:22]>> All right. Appreciate you. Melissa, listen to me. I'm going to make one thing very clear. You keep kicking our cage. You're going to get even more uncomfortable.

[00:22:29]>> I don't give a >> You're going to be moved out to the car.

[00:22:32]Your legs are going to be secured in the hobble and you're not going to be able to move even more. All right.

[00:22:37]>> So, your option is >> your option is >> to not kick >> or you can go in the hob. Okay, that's fine.

[00:22:46]>> After getting the advice from the person that she wanted to speak to, doing the exact opposite of what the person said was be respectful to the deputies. This is exactly what can potentially happen when you get this kind of name drop call from a person. You're going to go back in the car. You're going to be secured in the hobble.

[00:22:59]>> Okay, whatever. Take me to the hospital.

[00:23:02]>> Nope.

[00:23:02]>> I want to Okay, I can I want to go to the hospital.

[00:23:06]>> That sucks. I'll make sure the jail knows they put you in the ward with the crazy people on watch. Okay, that's good.

[00:23:13]>> Sit down.

[00:23:15]>> Stop being rude and disrespectful cuz I'm not doing anything to you and you're being rough on my arm.

[00:23:19]>> There's an interesting cascade of things that occurred here. I want to go to the hospital. So, we got the incarceritis situation so the person doesn't want to go to jail. I want to harm myself, the person says. So, then they're going to be placed in a special housing. But the officer's response, that sucks. I'll be sure to let them know so you'll be put in with the crazies. I am giving constructive criticism here and I don't speak disparagingly of suspects or officers. Is that the best way to respond to a person about putting them in with the crazies? Oh, that sucks.

[00:23:46]Think about a compilation of videos of yourself saying these types of comments.

[00:23:50]Is it going to come across as though you're being professional? That's the question that you have to answer. And hopefully you don't get placed in a situation where someone gets to answer it for you. Sit down.

[00:23:59]>> Stop being real. I can know how to sit down. It's not being roy sit down.

[00:24:02]>> I know how to sit down.

[00:24:09]So, the hobbling procedure, you've heard me mention it many times. I've explained it before. It's the securing of the leg so the person can't kick, run, or do anything else with their legs. In most departments, the hobbling process is something that has to be trained and certified. Especially on big departments, you have to be certified in placing hobbles on a person because it's a form of restraint. And if it's done properly, it can be very effective.

[00:24:33]Saving my life.

[00:24:37]Saving my life. I'M YOU'RE SUFFOCATING ME. YOU'RE SAFY. YOU'RE CUFFING ME.

[00:24:44]YOU'RE SUFFOCATING ME. IT'S LIKE I LOOK LIKE A KID IN THE CAR. WHY CAN'T I BREATHE?

[00:24:52]Why can't I breathe?

[00:24:56]What the hell?

[00:25:02]It's really interesting to see a person slip out of hobbles. When they're applied properly, it's very difficult to get out of hobbles, but it can happen.

[00:25:08]This I'm suffocating. I can't breathe type of situation in the back seat. It's interesting that a lot of people experience extreme anxiety and sometimes panic attacks in the back of police cars.

[00:25:17]>> She managed to slip her hobble.

[00:25:18]>> What's up?

[00:25:19]>> She slipped her hobble.

[00:25:20]>> Yeah, I'll give you >> Thank you.

[00:25:21]>> Listen, can I No, no. I'm I'm going to explain something to you. Hold on.

[00:25:25]>> Please don't let him touch.

[00:25:27]>> I just want you. Please don't let him touch me. Listen, we have to do this and then >> All right.

[00:25:37]>> I don't want him to touch me.

[00:25:40]>> I don't want >> Just relax and no one would need to touch me.

[00:25:43]>> I don't want him to touch me. Please, >> I don't want him to touch me.

[00:25:48]>> Please don't touch me. I'm not relaxing cuz I don't want you to touch me. I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT YOU TO TOUCH ME.

[00:25:56]WHY are you hurting me?

[00:26:01]Why are you letting him cry? Like why are you letting >> Because you're kicking the door.

[00:26:05]>> I'M NOT BECAUSE HE SAT me in the car for 3 hours. Listen here for 30 minutes.

[00:26:12]>> What was he doing?

[00:26:12]>> It hasn't been 3 hours. Listen, let me explain.

[00:26:15]>> Can you not let him touch?

[00:26:16]>> I'm going to explain something to you.

[00:26:17]Can you stop talking for a second?

[00:26:18]>> Can you not let him touch me?

[00:26:20]>> All right. As long as you listen to me.

[00:26:22]>> Listen to But I don't want him to touch me.

[00:26:23]>> All right. So this is what's going to happen. I want him to look at his.

[00:26:27]>> So, this is what's going to happen.

[00:26:28]You're going to relax and as long as you relax and you prove to us that you're not going to act like a child, we'll take it off. Okay, that's fine. We'll take care of that.

[00:26:38]>> Okay, slide in. Slide in. I'm going to push you in.

[00:26:43]>> Okay. I'm going to slide you in.

[00:26:44]>> No, I don't trust him. I don't trust him. I DON'T TRUST HIM. I DON'T trust him.

[00:26:52]>> SOMEBODY HELP. OH, >> YEP. It's tight.

[00:26:57]>> In the original video, the charges are listed and that video is hinned in the description. It looks like the person was charged with impersonation, resisting, and DUI. And it looks like she received 12 months probation. I've done videos like this before where you look at a person who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or some other substance. And I would imagine, and I've seen in my own experience, people who are completely different when they're under the influence of something. And I'm a firm believer that watching these types of videos by those people when they are not on that substance is an opportunity for them to see what they become under the circumstances. I hope that this person got the help that they need because this is not the behavior of a mature, sober, sane adult. And this also showcases the challenges that officers have to deal with. You can never go wrong by leaning into professionalism. If you know someone who potentially would act in this manner, show them this video because this could be a warning to a person who could end up like this person in the back of the police car and sitting in a jail cell.
