Arkansas Trooper vs Wannabe Tough Guy

[00:00:00]Okay, that's okay.

[00:00:01]>> We pulling away from me.

[00:00:03]>> How was it? How was that pulling away from you?

[00:00:05]>> In policing, when we get ready to pull you over, there are several tells that there might be something going on more than just a traffic stop. If when we get behind you, you make a turn on the first street, that's a tell. If you pull over quickly to the right side of the road and the passenger jumps out of the car, that's a tell. And after all those tells, if we figure out what's going on and decide to take you into custody, don't fight because you're going to lose and you're going to go to jail. This is one of those.

[00:00:29]That's betterh help h e l p.com.

[00:00:39]>> So it looks like he's going after that white SUV and he made a quick U-turn which kind of let me know cuz if an officer makes a U-turn after they pass us, we think that they're coming after us. And that car turned really quickly and the officer went through the light.

[00:00:49]I'm led to believe that he's going after this SUV.

[00:00:56]>> Another quick turn. If this is radar, there are two types of radar that I'd like you to know about because I believe this was likely radar. So, there's LAR and there's Doppler. LAR goes off laser, Doppler goes off radio waves. That would have been a Doppler radar that he picked this vehicle up on if this was a speed thing, unless he has some other reason.

[00:01:12]Couple other quick things. If you get pulled over speed, it's usually radar, estimation, or pacing. Those are the three most common ways.

[00:01:25]Go ahead.

[00:01:28]Stay in the car.

[00:01:31]Stay in the car.

[00:01:33]1824 here on Bever Outdoor World, Louisiana. Norah 639905 N639905.

[00:01:47]>> So this is really interesting. So I can tell the officer has some good tactics on the PA. He tells the passenger to get back in the car after you got out of the car and then he calls out the radio stop. I've mentioned this before. It takes some dexterity because it's the same mic. You just have to push different buttons. One to broadcast to the passenger and the other to broadcast to dispatch your location in the vehicle plate. I've seen officers make mistakes and I've made mistakes myself where you accidentally broadcast what you wanted to say off the PA. So, it's good that he has the dexterity to handle that and also the presence of mind to have the passenger get back inside of the vehicle.

[00:02:20]>> I'll run for you. Okay.

[00:02:21]>> I was going to work.

[00:02:22]>> Okay. Well, when we're through with this stop, you're you're free to leave. Okay.

[00:02:25]But until then, you're detained as well.

[00:02:27]>> Trooper Earl State Police. Reason I pulled you over the 72 and 55 zone. You see your driver's license, man.

[00:02:34]>> 72.

[00:02:35]>> So, we see it was speed that he pulled them all for. And he mentioned the passenger has to stay throughout the stop. Brenland versus California 2007 US Supreme Court ruling. Not only is a driver seized during a traffic stop, the passengers are considered seized as well during the traffic stop.

[00:02:49]>> Yes, ma'am. from wherever you're coming up there. South Back and G >> control.

[00:02:52]>> Do what?

[00:02:53]>> I was on cruise control doing 60.

[00:02:55]>> Well, I doubt that. You have an ID on you as well, sir.

[00:02:58]>> No, you I didn't do anything. I was a passenger.

[00:03:02]>> Okay. So, >> I'm just going to work right here. I'm trying to go.

[00:03:05]>> You hopped out from the scene of the Travis stop trying to take off.

[00:03:07]>> No, I wasn't trying to take off.

[00:03:09]>> I didn't know we was being pulled over.

[00:03:10]She stopped here and I was getting out to go to work. I wasn't trying to take off.

[00:03:16]I didn't even know he was behind us until I stepped out and looked and I was like, "Oh, shit."

[00:03:20]>> Okay. So, this is where I want legal people to chime in here because this is an interesting dynamic and I'm going to explain my understanding of the law here. If the vehicle is stopped, the Brenland case that I mentioned before, US Supreme Court, passengers are seized.

[00:03:30]If the passenger jumped out and he's walking off to work, which I don't believe that's what he was really doing, but he's walking off to work. Does he have to provide his information to the officer? Because under normal circumstances, if the passenger was inside the car and had their seatelt on and committed no crime, normally the passenger does not have to provide the information to the officer because they didn't do anything wrong. After the person jumps out, legal minds chime in as to whether you believe that the passenger is required to give the officer his information at this point.

[00:03:57]And I'm leaning towards yes, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

[00:03:59]>> And then you said, I'm running up here.

[00:04:00]>> No, I said you're not running up here. I stay here.

[00:04:03]>> I said I go to work. I said I work out here. I didn't say I was running up here. I said I work here.

[00:04:07]>> Okay. Do you have an ID though?

[00:04:08]>> No.

[00:04:10]>> Okay.

[00:04:10]>> Uh, this is a rental as well. I totaled my car out. Okay.

[00:04:13]>> And so, >> you have the rental agreement with you?

[00:04:15]>> Uh, it's in my email, too. I was pulling up my insurance for my other car.

[00:04:19]>> I'd like you to just take a look at this. I've never been inside a Ford Edge, I don't believe, but I can kind of guess what the configuration of this vehicle is. I'd like you to zoom in on the trooper, his campaign cover, and his positioning inside the car right next to the passenger. What is his field of vision? What is his field of view? if this person, the driver or the passenger decide to engage him in some type of violence. I told you and I'll always say the campaign cover is amazing looking as a tactical at this point and position especially when the male says I don't have an ID and we have this suspicious attempting to jump out of the vehicle.

[00:04:53]This field of view and field of vision is very very small and it's concerning.

[00:05:00]At least one glance back as you're walking back to the vehicle, especially if the person hasn't been identified. Best practice. At least one glance back. Look at the pass the passenger and the driver as you go to your vehicle. We've seen people jump out and attack officers.

[00:05:19]>> Hey man, you care. Step out here with him real quick.

[00:05:29]Okay. You on probation for >> uh drugs.

[00:05:32]>> Drugs. Okay. One of the conditions of your probation on turn out we back.

[00:05:53]Come up window. Glad your partner tried to take off. Honestly, I did not know we were being pulled over out of >> Stop it. I swear I >> Then why did you stop right here instead of driving him all the way up there?

[00:06:03]>> This is where I always pull over.

[00:06:04]>> No, it's >> I promise you that's why we I mean I literally >> Listen to me. Listen to me. Stop the line. It's not going to help you at all.

[00:06:12]Okay.

[00:06:13]>> I'm not in trouble for I mean seating, but I mean >> you're not going to stop right here if you're going to drop drop him off all the way up there. That just doesn't even make sense.

[00:06:20]>> Okay.

[00:06:20]>> Always gets up. Okay.

[00:06:22]>> How long have you known him? M not very long.

[00:06:26]>> Like how long? Not very long.

[00:06:28]>> Uh maybe a week or two.

[00:06:29]>> Yeah. What's his name?

[00:06:31]>> Uh Buddy is what we go by.

[00:06:34]>> What's his name?

[00:06:34]>> His name is Buddy.

[00:06:36]>> Buddy what?

[00:06:36]>> I have no idea what his last name is. I just met him. I was just giving him a ride.

[00:06:40]>> Just giving him a ride. I've heard that dozens and dozens of times. Just giving him a ride. This is trooper shark. Some things that I'm going to critique about safety. If I watch a video myself, I'll find things about safety as well, but I'm going to mention them. I want officers to go home safe. There's an interesting thing that you may or may not have caught that when he ran her on the computer, something came back that she's on parole. One of the stipulations of parole is that there's free to search her person, likely her vehicle, and maybe even her residence. I've seen it where they have all of those stipulations. Shout out to parole and probation officers, unsung heroes. They do a lot of good, especially when they operate within the confines of the law and follow up on people and make sure that they're doing the right thing cuz some people end up making it right after they get out. And sometimes it's the parole and probation officer that helps them stay in line. and parole officers have a whole lot of leeway that officers on the street don't necessarily have.

[00:07:25]The other thing that I want to mention is that I like how he brought her back, got her inside the car out of earshot of the driver and locked her into a story.

[00:07:32]Now, she says, "I don't know him. I'm just giving him a ride. It's only been about a week or two now. She's married to that story." As this goes forward, we'll see how that can play out in a very positive way if the troopers continues to work. This is the way that I see him working. Buddy.

[00:07:48]Buddy, what's your last name?

[00:07:56]He wants to know what your last name is.

[00:08:05]>> I know.

[00:08:11]I can't exactly hear what he's saying, but when she called out buddy like that, he didn't respond. and she says buddy again. It almost feels like she's trying to tell him that that's what I told him your name is. And I don't know that that's the case, but my police minded that's how I think through these kinds of things. And you could be wrong, but it's always good to think about half what you see, none of what you hear.

[00:08:35]>> Hey, we're going to stand back up there till I'm ready to talk to you.

[00:08:38]>> He said stand back up there.

[00:08:39]>> Go stand back up there till I'm ready to talk to you.

[00:08:42]>> What' he say? You said well.

[00:08:44]>> Let's look at his shirt. All the way down. Pants are baggy enough to easily conceal a firearm. We don't want him to be able to walk all that way before we tell him to go back. The control needs to happen way back there or have him patted down if he's going to be out of the vehicle.

[00:09:13]you have reached Mike Davis at Outdoor World.

[00:09:15]>> So, one of the things that I notic and I always pay attention to is the fact that if a person starts smoking like that, I always feel like they may be thinking I'm about to go to jail and I want to get this cigarette in. The intensity that they smoke is also another thing that makes me feel like partial nervousness and another part like I may be going to jail. I'm getting this smoke in.

[00:09:38]You go stand the car for me.

[00:10:01]Whoa, whoa, whoa. What am I being arrested for? Around.

[00:10:03]>> What am I being arrested >> right now? The drug.

[00:10:06]>> I don't have any drug.

[00:10:08]I >> don't have any drug. What are you talking about?

[00:10:12]>> In that cup?

[00:10:13]>> My cup's right there.

[00:10:14]>> Okay.

[00:10:15]>> So, look in my cup.

[00:10:16]>> Now, you got any ID on you?

[00:10:19]>> No, I don't.

[00:10:20]>> What's your name?

[00:10:21]>> I didn't do anything.

[00:10:22]>> There's drug craft in there. I've read ID. What's your name?

[00:10:24]>> That it's not mine.

[00:10:27]>> Hold on, man. Hold on.

[00:10:29]>> This configuration is incredibly challenging, especially when it's just one trooper. In these rural areas, a lot of times they do this stuff by themselves, and I get it. However, I'm going to share what I believe is best practices. don't have the person who's the driver of the vehicle looking at when you're searching inside. They're going to know when you find whatever you find. And it appears that he found some contraband inside of a cup inside of the car. Now they know and they can formulate a plan. And being sandwiched in the people is an incredible challenge.

[00:10:53]>> Don't Don't juding on me, man. Pull away.

[00:10:55]>> Get my phone.

[00:10:56]>> You can't get anything right now.

[00:10:57]>> Can I get my phone?

[00:10:59]>> Right now.

[00:11:00]>> Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm going, sir. God damn it.

[00:11:08]Listen to me. He's got a hernia.

[00:11:10]>> Quit hernas.

[00:11:11]>> Quit pulling away from me.

[00:11:13]>> How was it?

[00:11:14]>> I was not pulling away from you.

[00:11:16]>> She's yelling that he's got a hernia, but she says that she just met him. It's just strange. And I mean, I don't normally meet a person like, "Hello, my name is Buddy. I have a hernia." I mean, it just doesn't really make sense. It's just really strange that she knows that, but obviously she's emotionally involved in this, too. These things are all going to play out as you see this going.

[00:11:31]People tell you whatever they want to tell you. Hey, >> you need to calm down. And when I tell you to come back here with me, don't pull away from me.

[00:11:38]Man, I got double hernas in this godamn hands out your pants. What you reach for?

[00:11:46]>> I have my hands in my pants. You shove my hands in there.

[00:11:52]>> Come on, man.

[00:11:52]>> Did you see that? It looked like when the officer is searching the male around his pants. The female reaches down into her waistband. It looks like she's shoving something down into the crevice between both of her cheeks. She could be scratching or adjusting her undergarment. I don't know. And I'm not trying to be funny. If we watch that again, there was definitely something going on with what she was doing back there. It's interesting that it was as the officer is searching the mail, maybe in that area or keying off what the trooper is saying to the mail. That was peculiar.

[00:12:21]>> I don't have nothing right now. I don't have nothing, man. Did you not smash on me right there?

[00:12:26]>> Well, until I figure out if you have any weapons on you.

[00:12:28]>> I don't, man.

[00:12:29]>> Why are you trying to pull away from me?

[00:12:31]>> I don't have any weapons. I don't have any drugs.

[00:12:33]>> Well, until I can confirm you don't have any weapons.

[00:12:35]>> Trying to go to work, man. You're detained right now.

[00:12:38]You're fixing to be under arrest. Can Can you please you understand me? My hernia right there, man. Please. Thank you.

[00:12:44]>> Okay. He said, "You're detained right now. You're fixing to be under arrest."

[00:12:48]If a person is detained and not under arrest, we know that we can pat them down, but we cannot do a search.

[00:12:53]>> I don't have anything. I really don't have anything.

[00:12:58]>> You're making this a lot worse than it has to be.

[00:13:00]>> But I'm not doing anything.

[00:13:02]>> You want to do this this early freaking morning? Man, >> I ain't done nothing.

[00:13:06]I'm trying to go to work. Stay right there.

[00:13:09]>> I'm trying to go to work. That's all the I'm doing.

[00:13:12]>> You wanted to play games.

[00:13:13]>> How was I playing?

[00:13:14]>> These are the freaking prizes you win.

[00:13:16]>> How was I playing back?

[00:13:17]>> Remember I said walk with me?

[00:13:18]>> I was.

[00:13:19]>> When you start pulling away, >> I wasn't pulling.

[00:13:21]>> I'm not playing these games.

[00:13:23]>> I wasn't pulling away.

[00:13:24]>> Roll over.

[00:13:25]>> Can you please start pulling on them handcuffs? I ain't pulling on anything right now. God damn. Roll over your side.

[00:13:34]Yeah. You want to stick poker pride in me? Man, I didn't even know anything poker pride just started it.

[00:13:41]>> Okay. So, when we see the trooper retrieving these items and tossing them to the side, I can't see where he's retrieving them from. But again, we just have to be careful. Are we now inside of pockets where it would be deemed a search? Now, he could have made the decision in between when he said you're detained that you're under arrest cuz I saw an arrestable offense myself. He could have made that that distinction.

[00:13:59]It's just that we should be cautious when we say you're detained. Switching over and not necessarily saying, "Well, you're under arrest." We have to be really, really careful in these spaces because we want to make sure we operate within the confines of the law.

[00:14:10]>> I can't lay like this very long, brother.

[00:14:13]>> You're going to lay like this without side chest.

[00:14:23]Oh my god. I stand up. Man, I can't just hop up. Like I said, I got my up.

[00:14:30]>> Yeah, me too. But you want to freaking do this Come on.

[00:14:35]>> Can I please put my phone?

[00:14:36]>> No. Come on, buddy.

[00:14:38]>> What did I do? Have a seat in there.

[00:14:39]>> What did I do? Have a seat in there right now. It's resisting rest.

[00:14:44]>> I wasn't resisting. I wasn't resisting the rest, man. Slide on in there.

[00:14:50]Now you know it was Ernie, huh?

[00:15:00]What's up, man? You come down here all hot for Well, he didn't want to cooperate, but county.

[00:15:13]Oh, >> so I'm going to need some assistance from someone who has a radio ear that can assist me cuz I couldn't piece together exactly when he broadcast that he was in a struggle with this guy. I will tell you this that I do know is that there are several ways that an officer can know that they need to roll code to your situation. That means with lights and sirens. Sometimes you can just be in a struggle with someone. Key the mic, they'll hear and then there's no response. When dispatch does like a roll call to say, "Who was that? Is everyone code for? Is everyone okay?"

[00:15:37]And then they'll figure out if you don't respond, everyone's going to roll to your location. There's a button on most hacks where you could push a button.

[00:15:42]They'll go to your location GPS. There's a whole bunch of ways that officers will end up rolling code. Even if you don't call it, he may have called and said that this guy's resisting. I just did not hear it. So, just know that even if you just garble something that the dispatch is going to be on it and then units are going to start rolling to your location. If you're the one person that doesn't respond on a roll call, meaning they call every unit and then figure out that it's you and if they know where everyone else is.

[00:16:03]>> I got one in the back right now.

[00:16:08]>> Do what?

[00:16:10]>> I figure you do.

[00:16:11]>> Yeah, it's all for some and I didn't do it.

[00:16:14]>> Oh, I'm sure it is, Ernie.

[00:16:19]>> It is.

[00:16:22]Now see how long we have to get over here.

[00:16:26]>> At the Sergeant Curtis channel, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the fact that this is police memorial week, which is a very somber week for those of us in law enforcement. If you notice my badge and my dad's badge in the back are shrouded. Every week we commemorate the loss of the wonderful officers, men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty. And I have shrouded my badge many, many times throughout my career.

[00:16:43]And I'm hoping that through this channel, we can help that that doesn't have to happen anymore. So I want to give thanks to all the families who are going through a rough time right now who have lost a family member, those who have lost friends and just know that somewhere in some briefing or some end of watch shift. There's a chair that is empty and we acknowledge that person for the sacrifice that they gave for our country and their community. Sergeant Kurt channel, we thank you for acknowledging National Police Memorial Week. The guy admits that he had a warrant. That's why he didn't want to give his information and likely why he was trying to jit out of the car that quickly. Some really interesting things to look at in this stop that you can think about to figure out what works best from a tactical perspective. There are some things that I think that the trooper definitely could have done to be safer, but I know that they do work alone a lot. I want to make sure that they go home safe at the end of the night. And then some legal things that you could bounce back and forth, especially in your briefings and debriefings or just amongst friends if you're not into law enforcement, cuz these are interesting things. Everyone should know the basis of what laws work and don't work. Arkansas, another super sharp trooper. It appears that they found a hypodermic needle, from what I read in the report, inside of a cup inside the center console. And that would likely be a violation of the driver's probation or parole, which the trooper said that she was on.
