News flash! The cops looked at the video that night, claimed it was "inconclusive" (a blatant lie) and arrested her anyway. They refused to look at the receipts the couple had, failed to verify that they had been out of the car for hours, failed to check if the engine was warm, didn't check with the 2 bars/restaurants...all of which would have made the woman highly unlikely to have been in a hit and run. The dimwit Sgt just KNEW he had easily solved the crime. What a maroon...
Why doesn't the press ever hound and interview the officers in these cases? If they are not named, shamed and publicly humiliated, this behavior will simply continue.
That's because many District Attorneys are equally corrupt and are focused only on running up a big score of convictions which helps them get reelected. They frequently boast about their conviction rate especially in small or very red States.
The worst part of this is how definitely the officer assumed she was guilty with no investigation. Then they proceeded to craft a narrative that fit their preconceived idea. Because of qualified immunity, there are no consequences to them messing with someone’s life. What is it to them if someone innocently sits in jail for a crime they didn’t commit?
Simple things like going to check the temperature of the car. It had been in the parking lot for hours and would have been cold. If it was a hit and run there would have been evidence like the victims blood and hair on the shattered glass. There was nothing. I am no investigative genius but some simple basic police work rather than making assumptions would have cleared the lady instantly. There were also patrons at the bar who could have corroborated her story. Very sloppy police work.
@@homer5802 That’s because police and prosecutors seem to be unable to admit they were wrong. They usually double down instead. When you do have a department or DA’s office willing to admit their mistakes, it’s a welcome exception. Perhaps they’re more concerned about the liability than doing the right thing.
The major thing that bothers me about this case, is that the cops SHOULD have known that a car that had been very recently driven would still be hot. Simply feeling the hood would have eliminated her as a suspect.
200K is not enough. And cops got only 40-20hr suspensions and counseling. they didn't even release cops names. How many other innocent people they locked up with bs like this. Just think the outcome without this security video?
Also let me explain how cops beat those disciplinary actions. They announce the disciplinary measures to the press to placate the public. They make it look like he was suspended and he may even have to spend 40 hours off the clock BUT they slip it back to him later with overtime and shift adjustments. The term is called "pencil whipping", it's sleight of hand via record keeping. Since cops notoriously cover for and lie for each other all the time, nobody will say or do anything about this fraud. Ask yourself why, since time is money, didn't they simply dock his pay the equivalent of 40 hours? It's because they intend to never let him feel an iota of discipline.
Perjury only applies when you are under oath in court. Cops can lie to your face any other time. If they put that in the police report, it could be falsifying a police report
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? What lousy investigation did the police conduct, and what kind of stupid corners did they cut, in arriving at their conclusion. Those mental GIANTS need to be sacked.
They did view the Sec Cam footage. They stated that since it was panning, the car was out of frame for thirty seconds. So she had the half minute to get in her car and go have an accident, then get back and park her car before the camera panned back. Just ignore the footage of the guy jumping on her car and stomping on the windsheild. Great detective work!
That’s some great investigative skills exemplified by our high school educated public servants. I’m sure the taxpayers spent well over $200,000 training them.
We hardworking people get punished for making more money! tax dollars only go to lawsuits like this! The police department should pay her settlement! $200,000 is CHICKENSHIT! They need to award her just enough to get her through life in case she can't work have been traumatized. She should get $2,500,000 plus pay for her psychotherapy and counseling!
This was no mistake. The officers looked at the videos before she was arrested and still arrested her. The officers wanted to arrest someone and they arrested an innocent person. This is more reason why so many people no longer trusts or respects the police. The officers that made the arrest should no longer be officers.
😱My job is too hard !! I was looking for a EASY WAY TO DO IT REMEMBER DO NOT LET FACTS GO IN THE WAY OF A EASY ARREST OR EVIDENCE GET IN THE WAY EVEN!!!🤔
Agree the officers should be let go for that kind of mistake. However keep in mind there are a million interactions with police every day so this is an exceptional situation.
@Jeremy J as he said, this was not a mistake. The cops actually reviewed the camera footage and then made the arrest. All cops are cowardly oath breaking traitors to the Constitution and the United States.
But what happened to the officers that flat out lied on sworn statements? That’s supposed to be punishable by law. Now that it’s shown they are proven liars, they have tainted every arrest they’ve made or will make in the future. They need to be held accountable.
The officers who violated department policies received some degree of discipline or counseling, including one who had a 40-hour suspension and another who received a 20-hour suspension, both unpaid, officials said.
They forgot to mention the security video officers reviewed that night, clearly showing a guy mashing her windshield. Officer's found the video was inconclusive.
@@AECRADIO1 ... unless it's a cop being accused (which is as rare as unicorn gold), then I'm very inclined to believe the worst - seen too many instances of abuse, cover-ups, lies and corruption to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Everybody involved in this woman's arrest should be terminated immediately. You shouldn't get to make a mistake that could have ruined somebody's life, cost your city almost a quarter of a million dollars, and get to keep your job.
Cops do it all the time. Remember they don't want to find out what happened, they want to close a case. If that means they arrest and convict the innocent, they don't care.
I was never respected by the neighborhood, are serious not 1 time has anyone gone outside and even had a block party, not even a lemonade stand , not even a fire work on the street
An obvious lack of trained investigators and instead a bunch of thugs trying to ruin someone's life. $200,000 seems like a pittance - probably just covered her legal fees.
This wasn't a mistake. The cop didn't investigate and when they did they tried to coverup what really happened. They knew within hours she didn't do anything wrong but they continued to prosecute

Nah, the police didn’t ‘cover up’. They just did very lazy police work. They didn’t investigate every possibility. I’m a huge police advocate and always will be but those Officers messed up.
This news report fails to mention that before they arrested her, police saw the video that we just watched of a man jumping on her windshield, but claim that it was insufficient to see what really happened.
What are you talking about, police protect the citizens of our cities. Someone got hit by a hit and run driver and someone was arrested.. does it matter who? As long as the police make an arrest that’s all that matters. Like all the innocent people who were shot and killed by police… the officers were scared… killing the person ends that scare, and now the officer can go to sleep at night. The criminals who ran from the police and were shot in the back.. well guess what.. the police would have had to run more, wasting more of our tax dollars because of more time on the clock. Innocent people arrested for planting drugs in their cars… well.. who are you to say that those people weren’t going to do drugs some time in the future? It’s called, “getting ahead of the problem”.
Scottsdale got off EASY! $200K for this is not enough. I’m glad she got something though and brought attention to this and she did them a huge favor by settling.
@@davidhansen9792 really she was arrested and had her image posted all online for the world to see. Imagine being innocent and going to jail. I would damn near die if I had to go to jail for a crime I did not commit. Have my professional life ruined and image destroyed.
No evidence she was invovled. No witnesses saying she was there. Wrongfully arrested with no real evidence. Video evidence that someone else damaged her car. Im not sure why they settled for less. Most likely she was getting frustrated and emotionally exhausted from everything she was going through so she probably chose to settle for less and get it over with. She should have sued for more, but I can understand why she wouldnt want to continue spending time in court for something that she didnt do.
It doesn't have to be that way though if we just start holding police officers accountable. Lying on a police report should have gotten him fired and gotten his license to be a police officer removed. Anyone who has raised children knows exactly what happens if you don't hold people accountable, they turn into monsters.
This is one of those situations where the police investigation was so bad, the officers should be fired. There is no excuse for such poor and lazy work.
I remember this too. The cops just ignored all the evidence that she was innocent. It's was awful. The officers involved should lose a paycheck so it's not just the taxpayers.
They didn't even touch the hood of the vehicle. A cold engine would have indicated that it hadn't been driven recently. Just too much evidence of her innocence so the cops ignored all of it...
The facts would have gotten in the way of their hasty and absolutely wrong conclusion. Arrogant people aren't concerned with the facts, just with "winning" .
It's too bad that the taxpayers have to pay this instead of the offending officers. It should at least come out of the police budget if not the dirty cops' pockets.
had a cop pull me over for speeding. He lied about the speed limit on that road by 10 mph. When I disagreed, he wrote a ticket for not wearing glasses, even though I don't wear glasses! I had to get an optometrist appointment so I could have proof that my vision met the State's requirement, to defend myself in court.
Another tactic to force people into pleading guilty or taking a deal is they will drag your case out as long as possible until knowing any date of release/judgment is better then not knowing at all. What's even worse is the public defenders/defense lawyers will allow it or barely fight back against it because it's more billable time and/or less real work if the client takes the deal. Not only is it job security for all of the court/legal staff but the law enforcement officers are usually getting paid overtime for court appearances with a minimum amount of (I think its) 4hrs. They will drag the smallest unnecessary things out for as long as possible or just keep scheduling status hearings/continuance/etc . Its a trap whether you did anything wrong or not . And that's how innocent people end up pleading guilty.... all the time....
It should have been 2 Million as far as I'm concerned. It does NOT take 2-3 years to look at a video of someone jumping on her parked car causing the damage to her window.
It does when your Police Department is run by bullies and cowards and incompetent scumbags. Lying on a police report should have gotten somebody fired if not charged and gotten their license to be a cop removed.
no its not! why should we lose money because of a corrupt judge? she had drugs on her. she is a draggy it wrong that she got any money in the first place
The officers are responsible, but so is the municipality - it is their responsibility to ensure officers are properly trained and charges properly vetted. And that their metrics are based on, not just arrests, but arrests resulting in conviction. Half the reason we get these half-assed arrests is that offers are incentivized to arrest anyone, not just the guilty.
This is the type of arrest that happens when you suck at explaining yourself. Literally nobody cares the name of the bar that you just came out of. She arrested herself.
The settlement should be paid from the offending officers' retirement accounts and the department budget. Additionally, the officers should be jailed 5 years each.
I’m telling you, our society needs a better way to hire police officers. They need to be vetted to the fullest extent before even being considered as a hire.
ONE IMPORTANT DETAIL YOU LEFT OUT..... those police actually viewed the surveillance tapes at the scene BEFORE arresting Yesse, and those tapes clearly showed that she was innocent,, but the police still "took her in".
Well, sure! They were just trying to use this excuse to see what else they could charge her with, and try and make something stick. You heard DUI, drug paraphanalia, leaving the scene.... I'm sure they would love to throw public intox, and resisting on there too. It's a fetish with PD's to just try to see how many "crimes" can be charged on any stop. Gotta make the Co. attorney look good. "Scottsdale is TOUGH on crime!" ... except when it's crooked cops...
The investigator dismissed that video because she "could have left, gone 1.5 miles, ran the man down, come back to a very busy bar, parked back in the same space, gone back into the bar, all in the extremely short amount of time it took for the camera to sweep the parking lot be k and forth. Oh, and just ignore the guy jumping on her hood and stomping on her windshield. Gross incompetence on the PD part
@@mainely8007 because there was a hit and run that night but the perpetrator was a cop. some say the cops were trying to pin it on someone so their buddy could get away.
I recall this case vividly when the news first broke. I recall thinking "I hope she gets a good attorney and a huge settlement" In my opinion, she should have received at least $300k, PLUS the officers involved should be held CRIMINALLY accountable. No more of this qualified immunity BULLSHYT.
@@danni1993 Cities are usually self-insured, i.e. it's coming out from the taxpayers pockets. That's why you see the city council having to approved the settlement payout. Police don't care nor does the city council as it's not directly coming outta their pockets.
If she wanted to file an insurance claim for the damaged window, wouldn't she need a police report? I get your point, and it makes a lot of sense, but what was she supposed to do?
I'm glad you won a lawsuit, and rightfully so.BUT what happened to the officers who accused her in the first place? Were they disciplined or promoted? Can anyone name any other type of employment where you can cost your employer $200,000 in Damages for being wrong and violating someone's rights but yet you get to keep your job.
They were "disciplined" with the maximum "punishment" being 40 hours loss of pay for Sgt. Brian Steel. This is a scam that police departments use to thumb their nose at disciplinary measures. Steel will get those 40 hours back by bogus overtime and shift adjustments after the attention dies down. They use record keeping sleights of hand. We used to call it "pencil whipping".
I remember this. The car had been sitting for hours and the hit and run occurred I think within minutes. Morons could have raised the hood and felt if the engine was warm. Poor or nonexistent police work. This lady should've gotten a lot more than that. A lot more.
They had receipts from the bar and restaurant. There were staff and others to verify where the couple had been for hours. There was video showing the vandal kicking in her windshield. The engine was COLD! NONE of it mattered. They were going to arrest the vandalism victim no matter what!
I'm sure that arrogant cop probably went home patting himself on the back of how quickly he is solved this crime. What do they teach these morons at the police academy other than how to be an arrogant jackass? Got to admire his magic vision that could see glass shards on her shirt.
It's illegal under the US constitution, to print money. Only congress can coin money, and only of gold, silver and copper can it be. This essentially means, the entire government is funded by counterfeit money, making them all criminals. 1776 was fought over currency too. Nothing will change until 1776 2.0
she wasn't convicted. and she got paid. I'd classify it as a honest mistake where the factors just lined up rather than some conspiracy theory. Had she been involved and they had let her go, then they'd be getting sued by the victim's family and you'd probably be criticizing them for being incompetent. lol
@@pb12661 she got lucky there was a security camera to save her, the cops LIED about the glass on her shirt and wrote her up for a fake dui in order to twist the knife. The amount of money she was paid was chump change and the justice system is broken when the lying cops are not punished in any way that matters.
The FBI statistics state that anywhere from 20 percent to 40 percent of people convicted in court did not commit the crime every year. That is unacceptable even at the lowest estimate.
Umm so how were the cops that made the arrest not fired? They clearly made up that she had glass on her clothing when she didn’t. Those cops pretty much ruined someone’s life.
It was probably one of their fellow officers or a family member who committed the actual hit and run and they just arrested her to stop the investigation into who actually hit the person
@@CoutureThug sadly I have to agree with you. The way they lied about glass shards on her shirt combined with ignoring the video evidence that proved she was innocent. When a cop gets pulled over for a DUI by another one of their buddies they usually give them a ride home and cover up the incident.
Believe it or not, it’s harder for todays cops to do shady insider deals to further their station in life than back 30 plus years ago. There is still work to be done however more accountability is prevalent today than decades ago.

200k is nothing, the Africa American mother and daughter sitting in the fast food parking lot got wrongful arrested and reward 4.5 million because of profiling arrest. They became millionaire over night... smh
People keep forgetting that's it's not the police that do the sentencing. It's the judges and prosecutors who stick these charges on people. Without them, it wouldn't matter how many times police bring in the wrong person.
Unimageable horrors. I'd imagine people out there throughout history were wrongfully imprisoned and died in prison. They might have struggled for 30 years fighting to their last breath before dying and nobody ever uncovered the truth
When I was 18 years something similar to this happened to me. It is hard when you know you are not guilty of a crime and yet you have no proof. I am glad that we have more digital proof now and I am so glad this worked out for her.
Keep in mind the tax payers are paying her $ 200,000. Not the police officers involved in this wild fabrication. All of the officers involved in this ridiculous arrest and gaslighting witness on the scene of the crime should be forced to pay her out of their own pockets, then be fired and criminally charged.
They literally would have and tried to ruin this innocent woman's life and imprison her. It's not that she deserved way more, but that the city and it's coproaches needed to be taught an expensive lesson as you said.

I am no investigative genius but some simple basic police work rather than making assumptions would have cleared the lady instantly. There were also patrons at the bar who could have corroborated her story. Very sloppy police work.
Even worse, they watched the surveillance video and still went through with the charges. This was infuriating.
They investigated and came to the conclusion they wanted.
@@homer5802 That’s because police and prosecutors seem to be unable to admit they were wrong. They usually double down instead. When you do have a department or DA’s office willing to admit their mistakes, it’s a welcome exception. Perhaps they’re more concerned about the liability than doing the right thing.
All the above comments are spot on, so accurate that I couldn’t say it better.
The major thing that bothers me about this case, is that the cops SHOULD have known that a car that had been very recently driven would still be hot. Simply feeling the hood would have eliminated her as a suspect.
I wonder if the guy who randomly smashed her winshield was the actual person who committed the hit and run and his plan worked.
200K is not enough.
And cops got only 40-20hr suspensions and counseling. they didn't even release cops names. How many other innocent people they locked up with bs like this.
Just think the outcome without this security video?
Brian Steel and Nicolas Fay
Also let me explain how cops beat those disciplinary actions. They announce the disciplinary measures to the press to placate the public. They make it look like he was suspended and he may even have to spend 40 hours off the clock BUT they slip it back to him later with overtime and shift adjustments.
The term is called "pencil whipping", it's sleight of hand via record keeping. Since cops notoriously cover for and lie for each other all the time, nobody will say or do anything about this fraud.
Ask yourself why, since time is money, didn't they simply dock his pay the equivalent of 40 hours? It's because they intend to never let him feel an iota of discipline.
Probably paid suspensions, i.e. free vacations.
"We saw shards of glass on her clothing". It's called perjury. It's a felony. But, cops are never charged.
Perjury only applies when you are under oath in court. Cops can lie to your face any other time. If they put that in the police report, it could be falsifying a police report
They should be charged, falsely imprisoned, beaten and abused, just like they do to the public

They did view the Sec Cam footage. They stated that since it was panning, the car was out of frame for thirty seconds. So she had the half minute to get in her car and go have an accident, then get back and park her car before the camera panned back. Just ignore the footage of the guy jumping on her car and stomping on the windsheild. Great detective work!
Nothing happened to it. It was only an empty slogan like protect and serve.

That’s some great investigative skills exemplified by our high school educated public servants. I’m sure the taxpayers spent well over $200,000 training them.

This was no mistake. The officers looked at the videos before she was arrested and still arrested her. The officers wanted to arrest someone and they arrested an innocent person.
This is more reason why so many people no longer trusts or respects the police. The officers that made the arrest should no longer be officers.

But what happened to the officers that flat out lied on sworn statements? That’s supposed to be punishable by law. Now that it’s shown they are proven liars, they have tainted every arrest they’ve made or will make in the future. They need to be held accountable.

Everybody involved in this woman's arrest should be terminated immediately. You shouldn't get to make a mistake that could have ruined somebody's life, cost your city almost a quarter of a million dollars, and get to keep your job.
Cops do it all the time. Remember they don't want to find out what happened, they want to close a case. If that means they arrest and convict the innocent, they don't care.
They did it on purpose obviously. They should be charged with a crime as well
Even if they lost their job they can simply go to another PD and get another job. They should get a life ban from policing.

Proof that there is no situation that can't be made worse by involving the police.
What are you talking about, police protect the citizens of our cities. Someone got hit by a hit and run driver and someone was arrested.. does it matter who? As long as the police make an arrest that’s all that matters.
Like all the innocent people who were shot and killed by police… the officers were scared… killing the person ends that scare, and now the officer can go to sleep at night.
The criminals who ran from the police and were shot in the back.. well guess what.. the police would have had to run more, wasting more of our tax dollars because of more time on the clock.

No evidence she was invovled. No witnesses saying she was there. Wrongfully arrested with no real evidence. Video evidence that someone else damaged her car. Im not sure why they settled for less. Most likely she was getting frustrated and emotionally exhausted from everything she was going through so she probably chose to settle for less and get it over with. She should have sued for more, but I can understand why she wouldnt want to continue spending time in court for something that she didnt do.
It shoulda been 2 million just to make sure it doesn’t happen again
It’s still gonna happen, the cops don’t have to pay the tax payers do. So until it comes out of their pockets/pensions nothing will change
It doesn't have to be that way though if we just start holding police officers accountable. Lying on a police report should have gotten him fired and gotten his license to be a police officer removed.
Anyone who has raised children knows exactly what happens if you don't hold people accountable, they turn into monsters.
Why would the cops care? Not their money
How evil do you have to be to break someone's wind shield to set them up for your hit and run. Dispicable. 🤷♂️
Good. It's ridiculous that they arrested her based on ehat they saw. No blood on the broken windshield?

@Dan..most likely the cops involved will soon be promoted.
I remember this story, the cops never bothered to talk to anyone at the restaurant/bar they just left, Nor did they check surveillance video
I remember this too. The cops just ignored all the evidence that she was innocent. It's was awful. The officers involved should lose a paycheck so it's not just the taxpayers.

It's too bad that the taxpayers have to pay this instead of the offending officers. It should at least come out of the police budget if not the dirty cops' pockets.
the scary part is, how many of these cases dont get disputed cause they feel they cant win or afford a lawyer?? sickening!!!!
A lot more then you would think. The Prosecutors will even pressure or force the accused into taking a plea deal whether they are guilty or not.
had a cop pull me over for speeding. He lied about the speed limit on that road by 10 mph. When I disagreed, he wrote a ticket for not wearing glasses, even though I don't wear glasses! I had to get an optometrist appointment so I could have proof that my vision met the State's requirement, to defend myself in court.
Another tactic to force people into pleading guilty or taking a deal is they will drag your case out as long as possible until knowing any date of release/judgment is better then not knowing at all. What's even worse is the public defenders/defense lawyers will allow it or barely fight back against it because it's more billable time and/or less real work if the client takes the deal. Not only is it job security for all of the court/legal staff but the law enforcement officers are usually getting paid overtime for court appearances with a minimum amount of (I think its) 4hrs. They will drag the smallest unnecessary things out for as long as possible or just keep scheduling status hearings/continuance/etc . Its a trap whether you did anything wrong or not . And that's how innocent people end up pleading guilty.... all the time....
$200K is a pittance for ANY false arrest.
If it doesn't come out of their pockets personally, things will never change.
It should have been 2 Million as far as I'm concerned. It does NOT take 2-3 years to look at a video of someone jumping on her parked car causing the damage to her window.
It does when your Police Department is run by bullies and cowards and incompetent scumbags. Lying on a police report should have gotten somebody fired if not charged and gotten their license to be a cop removed.
These lawsuits need to come out of the FOP and police retirement funds.

Why weren't the police officers involved fired and why didn't they lose their law enforcement credentials?
