Cops ask for ID to see if you have warrants so they can arrest you. But if they get half a reason to arrest you, they could care less about your ID. Even in cases of mistaken identity; because the arrest is all that matters to them.
So much is wrong here. Not getting the man's ID immediately was a really stupid mistake. The consequences of being arrested are substantial, so arresting the wrong person needs to have huge consequences on the officer.

The on going trespass is illegal. It is rescinded atomatically as soon as he is served and given a receipt for any purchases. Once again the clops are arses. Its American law. CrankyGranny Western Australia.
The arresting officer should be required to comply to reimbusing Mr Tony Nguygen for thinking that Tony is a transpasser in which he isn't. Please think positive daily. ™ August 09, 2023 @ 1:25 pm ™
The cop didn’t identify the man and arrested him, even after he stated he needed to take his seizure medication. Hope the whole department gets sued the snot out of. The cop didn’t even bother to look at the ID, before the arrest.
Wal Mart wanta - be ,cops need proper public training..I heard this man was issued a Wal Mart credit card..before this happened.. so in my mind there's no trespassing..it's an invitation to shop in there stores.. right?
The officer did the right thing and admitted the mistake but his superiors (who weren't even there) had no problem lying to legally protect the department/police.
I think it's just a WalMart thing - I was in holiday in Texas and went in one to buy a satellite navigation system. After I'd paid, I put my sunglasses on, started walking out quickly and was accosted by security there asking me to show them my receipt. There wasn't any trouble beyond that but I did ask: "is this something you normally do?" and the guy basically said 'yes'! No other store I went into had a problem with me nor my sunglasses and just about every stranger I met was like a friend to me. Only in WalMart did all the staff seem unhappy from the guy that helped me find the product, to the lady at the checkout and the security guy. Perhaps in the case in this video, someone called the cops just to add something a little more interesting to their otherwise depressing day! ...Perhaps they didn't even notice!
"Not identifying the officer because ... blah blah blah" He is a public servant and anything and everything he does is open to public scrutiny so protecting his identity shows your true allegiance. He unlawfully arrested the man, meaning the cop broke the law, assault and battery, kidnapping and false imprisonment and this channel thinks its necessary to protect the criminals as long as they wear blue and have guns and tin badges
$10-M is beyond reasonable and will just inflame the jury and hurt his case.... They should have ask for something reasonable like $100,000.... Truly the case wasn't that bad, maybe $10,000-$20,000 to be honest + pay his lawyer fees and an official apology.. yes, it is terrible, but this does not equal $10-M in damages and punitive awards.
The bigger picture is that, the deputy failed to verify Mr. Nguyen 's identity on the spot rather than just go on the word of the loss prevention specialist until after he was booked into jail. The opportunity to do so was there and I'm sure it's a matter of policy.
Thank you very much, ABC Action News, for uploading this interesting update of Tony Nguygen so that I can see it again in the near future. Please have a nice day today. ™ August 09, 2023 @ 4:35 pm ™

It also bring a question: how long can a Walmart ban it customer? 1 year? 2 years? 10 years? Indefinite? He been banned 14-15 years ago. Even if he go to jail he would been release long long ago. What kind of authority Walmart have that can dish out punishment harsher than government?
Imagine the one who said 'That's him!' 😳...he wasn't even caught shop lifting maybe 20 years ago since he said that!!????? Well, when he is successful and gets a pay out that person will be fired 😳 oops
The on going trespass is illegal. It is rescinded atomatically as soon as he is served and given a receipt for any purchases. Once again the clops are arses. Its American law. CrankyGranny Western Australia.
The arresting officer should be required to comply to reimbusing Mr Tony Nguygen for thinking that Tony is a transpasser in which he isn't.
Please think positive daily. ™

You should be showing the police
The cop didn’t identify the man and arrested him, even after he stated he needed to take his seizure medication. Hope the whole department gets sued the snot out of. The cop didn’t even bother to look at the ID, before the arrest.
Wal Mart wanta - be ,cops need proper public training..I heard this man was issued a Wal Mart credit card..before this happened.. so in my mind there's no trespassing..it's an invitation to shop in there stores.. right?
We are NOT the same ! I’m so sick of racial profiling 😤
he literally looks just like the other guyy. thats not fucking racial profiling
Uhh there is a trespass order on him? Dude… stop wasting the court’s time!
If you’re in a public place and you’re a public servant, you should not be blurring their face
keep us updated!!!!!
And he probably won't be fired
Mr. Nguyen hit the jackpot as soon as he was handcuffed.
10 Million is excessive
Juries need to continue to give big payouts against corporations and billionaires
Such a terrible terrible situation. May justice prevail 🙏🏻
The officer did the right thing and admitted the mistake but his superiors (who weren't even there) had no problem lying to legally protect the department/police.
Uld have asked for ID no?
2:59 bad police work
He's dressed like a $10 million dollar man haha
I think it's just a WalMart thing - I was in holiday in Texas and went in one to buy a satellite navigation system. After I'd paid, I put my sunglasses on, started walking out quickly and was accosted by security there asking me to show them my receipt. There wasn't any trouble beyond that but I did ask: "is this something you normally do?" and the guy basically said 'yes'!
No other store I went into had a problem with me nor my sunglasses and just about every stranger I met was like a friend to me. Only in WalMart did all the staff seem unhappy from the guy that helped me find the product, to the lady at the checkout and the security guy. Perhaps in the case in this video, someone called the cops just to add something a little more interesting to their otherwise depressing day! ...Perhaps they didn't even notice!
"Not identifying the officer because ... blah blah blah" He is a public servant and anything and everything he does is open to public scrutiny so protecting his identity shows your true allegiance. He unlawfully arrested the man, meaning the cop broke the law, assault and battery, kidnapping and false imprisonment and this channel thinks its necessary to protect the criminals as long as they wear blue and have guns and tin badges
Remove Qualified immunity from all Cops so we can Sue them for being Criminals.....
$10-M is beyond reasonable and will just inflame the jury and hurt his case.... They should have ask for something reasonable like $100,000.... Truly the case wasn't that bad, maybe $10,000-$20,000 to be honest + pay his lawyer fees and an official apology.. yes, it is terrible, but this does not equal $10-M in damages and punitive awards.
Shoot Walmart loaded I would ask for $20,000,000 from their greedy corporate owners!
unless it was you ?
You’re probably the same guy who ask for 100 million dollar law suit if a poster signed fall on him.
@@Hmonks
Oh hell yeah 😅
The bigger picture is that, the deputy failed to verify Mr. Nguyen 's identity on the spot rather than just go on the word of the loss prevention specialist until after he was booked into jail. The opportunity to do so was there and I'm sure it's a matter of policy.
Concealing the deputy is some serious boot licking BS.
The cop f'd up didn't read him his rights! This guy has just hit the lottery!
America's newest MILLIONAIRE! Well done Police Departments, America wide, for bettering the lives of those most vulnerable to your pernicious ways
I would have gone for 20 million
Man went from flip flops to Cartier shades😂
Bluring cops face is crazy! Shame on yall
Thank you very much, ABC Action News, for uploading this interesting update of Tony Nguygen so that I can see it again in the near future.
Please have a nice day today. ™

Hope he wins
he'll win, just not much.
Anyone have an update on this case?
I find it hilarious that the guy with mistaken identity made the statement" no, I was trespassed about 10 years ago
We already know how the cop looks like no need to blur 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got confused a lot for a much taller female I worked with from the Caribbean. I'm 2 inches shorter and of Mexican descent.
Which part of the Caribbean she was from. I'm Kitts
@@Martin199320 All I know is Jamaican.
@@NEVERHAVEHIGHEXPECTATIONSshe was probably trying to frame you to go to jail
Bro finna get cash out he already got the buss down Cartier shades 😂😂
Why hide the cop face?
Why is the police officers face blurred out?
Hahaha! Walmart and the loss prevention guy better say they lost the 10 million they need to look in the loss prevention box 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They will never admit they messed-up and that just wallmart pigs just brush it under carpet and hope it go away
I hope he got what he wanted that will teach these untrain cops a lesson before you put handcaff on someone....
Deputy Michael McNeeley is the name of the officer who "forgot" to check the identity, David Petigrew is the Walmart employee who called police and admitted he didn't positively identified the customer.
Racial profiling, no doubt.
We got the wrong Nguyen! LMAO!
Won't show the face of the cop but happy to show the face of an innocent person, thats a bit hypocritical isn't it?
No proper investigation done by the cop and his chief and cop did not ask for ID either. This is not a mistake, cop just wanted to make a quick arrest.
The officer failed to do his job. He should have some integrity and resign.
