Do you do audible narrations?
Kamikoto knives are a scam. Stop shilling this crap. It's junk steel and they don't grind the knives correctly. Seriously if you Google them it's all scam and rip off reports
Every time a video like this comes out, where cop is stepping on somebody's rights. The cop should immediately be fired and placed in general population prison with his police uniform on
How can they legally deny him a jury trial? That’s fucked. I know from personal experience. If you have minor charges like a Misdemeanor. No felonies. Just keep asking for a jury trial. They will dismiss the case in a year after 6-10 court appearance. Remember. Not guilty jury trial.
@audit his wife at around 12 mins can be heard complaining on the phone that they arrested him for walking down the road while being black. This I can not stand, there is no evidence it was racially motivated, yes it seems a high majority use racial victim. Hood as a get out of jail free card. So I don't agree with the A rating. Maybe a B.
Not singing in public. He went in handcuffs because he dared ask for the cop's name. 100% retaliation.
Yup
in america, you can shoot the copoy
@@kanker5256 okay, I’ll bite. What’s a copoy, and how do you shoot one?
Nah he went into handcuffs because he said he wanted to make a complaint so they were trying to deter him from that smh 🤦🏾♂️
@@thedaily30 where they force onto you, you own a gun and use it. preferably, you kill him. so 1 bullet is enough. then you really need to move fast and clean the spot.
a copoy is a turkey, otherwise, a species of mentally unstable, quite armed and mad police officer, that probably got his spot by his parents working for the government in the past eras. they have pathological mental disorders and they need to be avoided, or at least neutralized, FOR THE GREATER GOOD.
abusers with actual power need to be killed on the spot. i know what i say and am very prowd of it.
We all know he wasn’t arrested for singing. He was arrested after asking for the cops name and asking to take a picture of him to file a complaint. This is pure police retaliation. It was never about his singing.
Then this should be under "no fear act" what ever happen to that I don't know.
Its the old "you need to be put in your place" attitude by the cop. Notice how he roughed up the man and shoved him to the ground.
He was arrest under the "Who da hell does this boy and gal thing they are" laws, that were established 1492. See Mayflower, Plymouth Rock, when hate washed up on the shoreline.
How can you be retaliate against somebody who didn’t do anything to you?
@@Barak144 Easy, just dream up some sh.t. Hell, did you miss who would be believed of these 2. The cop or Mr. Jefferson. Most juries would side with the cop.
He received a warning and there were no further violation after that warning there was no further singing. This is clearly an abuse of power by the cop.
It wasn’t a violation to begin with.
@@gregkasza1925
Meaning?
So you agree with this insanity... when this man was simply walking with his headset on and singing.
His "crime" was so grievous the officers had to cease what they were doing in order to apprehend him immediately, aye?
Haha!
The warning itself was unconstitutional and idiotic
@@nonenow857 he was Talkin bout the victim
Whenever I hear the cops talking together it always sounds like they're trying to convince themselves that what they're doing is the right thing...
Yes, I think the same thing!!! God forbid they have to apologize or be humble!! Sheesh!!
That is because they are
The officer:"You can't walk down the street yelling profanity!"
The officer 5 seconds later:
"Don't let me catch you walking down this FUCKING street again!"
Exactly. And in hick ass Hephzibah. Georgia in general needs to be demolished and rebuilt from scratch.
Damn good point! Hypocrisy at its worst. These pos pigs need to be properly trained and stripped of protections.
Yep !!
Not only was a being a hypocrite, he was making an unlawful order and a threat to arrest him for a completely legal activity( i.e. walking down a public street).
They hire DUMMIES for cops.
"If nothing else we can get him on disorderly conduct..."
This shows you that when police makes contact with you they are always looking for a justification to arrest you.
wow they were literally trying hard to arrest him, like they were looking for any way to arrest him, as if they hated him. Thats just pathetic
@@webe3228 this shit happens all the time. It happened to me and I'm white. It's because police have immunity
define disorderly conduct...
It is exceptionally rare for police to not arrest someone after they have him in cuffs. Once the cuffs are on, they are not coming off.
@@bjvu9460 they literally define it in the video. Watch it.
He was so disappointed when he found out he didn’t have any warrants.
That’s a busy road. There’s no way his singing was louder than several vehicles passing at the same time, especially a large truck or loud motorcycle. Apparently this whole towns judicial system is a corrupt revenue generating slush fund.
I was literally thinking the same thing... No way it's any louder than the cars going by.
This cop's ego is out of control. No name & badge number was given and that right there alone should justify his departure from the force.
Arent they all?
I might be making a visit to this lovely little town. I’ll provide them with some civil rights training.
Work on your singing voice lmao
Have fun with that
Quiet, squire
A moving rendition of "God Bless the Homeless Veterans" may be in order.
“God bless the f*%#-in’ homeless veterans!” Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They really wanted him to have a warrant... Saddest part is the chief thinks there was no issues with his officers violating this mans rights 🤔
And in the meantime while they're trying to figure out a way to charge him he is handcuffed and in the back of the cruiser.
To be fair with the chief, you can actually hear him struggling to work out what his officer has even done, and you even hear him sighing at the end, because he realises it's bullshit. Then you have to persecute him for covering for his dipshit officer...
@@brook316 Of course we do. You're not saying we shouldn't persecute him for standing with his officers against justice, right?
Sounds to me like that place needs a new chief
@@Inoffensive_name Not at all, just saying you can hear him thinking "For fucks sake, paperwork for this." Then rather than just cutting the guy loose and telling his officer not to be an asshole, he tells him what to invent. So obviously he's an asshole.
I’m from Alabama. I’ve been to GA multiple times and I can attest that the agencies there are some of the most disrespectful and racist in the country.
It's not great in AL too. But, for real, the worst racism in the country is not in the South at all. To a lot of people that's counterintuitive, but I implore anyone to learn about Chicago's hyper-segregation if they're curious about my claim.
Yeah I’ve heard the worst departments are ones in Connecticut
They do not care about your race. They hate everyone that is not in blue.
@@nunliski who’s segregating who?
@@gregkasza1925 whom*. Who's segregating whom?
Woah Woah
"His request for a jury trial was denied"?
How can they just "Deny" a man's 6th amendment rights?
Most civil violations they don't allow jury trials you simply appear and say I don't agree to proceeding with out a jury trial they say they are proceeding then on appeal in superior court you can normally get one because they can't deny your rights! Courts of limited jurisdiction are a joke and need regularly reviewed and punished for rights violations!
No Sixth Amendment right if maximum sentence is less than six months.
"You can't arrest him for profanity it's protected under the constitution"
"The what?"
That thing you took an oath to ya goldfish brain
Man was a whole racist .
Is * a whole ass racist lol
😆🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
My God they're dumb!
Don't insult the very fine specie that is goldfish
He was wondering why he was talking about rights and stuff, then understood that it was all for the benefit of the camera.
“Don’t let me catch you fuckin walkin down the road again.” Wasn’t his reason for stopping him for cussing while singing but the cop can cuss AT him with impunity? Proves that that’s not the real issue.
Nobody else caught that. Honestly pisses me off. It's that power trip. "You can't do it but I can"
Likely one of the many reasons why the DA lowered the charges. The guy would of blown the entire case apart and proved just how stupid the LEOs are in this instance.
@@erich6860 and probably a lot of other instances if it goes to trial and the defense attorney casts a wide net during discovery.
@@erich6860 why wouldn’t the retarded DA removed the charge at all then , that doesn’t make sense
This was a total sham action by the cops from the start. Cop could have just been an adult and left the citizen alone. But that would have been the easy way
Oh, the DA’s little move to amend the charges to deny him a trial by jury is absolutely pure evil. He knew the cops and city were in trouble.
The issue is that he is under no risk of being placed in jail so he doesn't have the right to a jury trial. It's considered a civil matter now.
He arrested him way after the singing and profanity was over. And the threat of don’t let me catch you walking down this street is unconstitutional and harassment.
“I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but stop singing or you’re under arrest.” A fantastic use of police resources.
Hoping he had a small amount of drugs on him. Might be short on points that month.
Like wtf. I don’t give a fuck if you sing or swear in public.
@@CoronaryArteryDisease. "no signing in public" is this Saudi Arabia?
@@Jesse-um1pz ikr??
"I'm not trying to be disrespectful, I'm just trying to violate your right to self expression "
You nailed it when you said "arrested for annoying a police officer". I hope there is a civil suit against these officers.
Yes yes yes
I agree! Especially since they are also screwing him over in court!
Georgia is a complete sesspool of dirty policing. Just look at Gwinnett county police currently under investigation for everything from hiding evidence, lying under oath, to planting evidence.
10:03 when he says,… oh ohh! & the cop was silent, means he was reminded of the bodycam 🙄
He REALLY wanted to arrest him but. Felt dumb because he couldn’t. He didn’t want Mr. Jefferson or his wife to be correct. Wow, so many pathetic cops 😓
Mrs. Jefferson should honestly get an A+.
We should all be so lucky as to have a spouse like that.
Did you used to argue your report card grades in school? Lol 😊
"Don't let me catch you walking down the road again."
Yep. Nothing like good old fashioned police work.
Word.
Fr
Yeah that was a threat for sure cops needs removed indefinitely.
on god
Only word missing is “BOY”
Officer IMMEDIATELY and intentionally escalated this! What a horrible officer. There needs to be an F-
How bout an F---------------------
F is for when they beat you
There is only one punishment for tyrants. Our ancestors knew what that was, and weren't afraid to use it.
Personally I think these cops did great, how many people have we seen get their lives permanently and absolutely destroyed the past couple years for saying the n word but black people can just call us crackers??? lol Fun fact in the past 5 years hundreds if not thousands of rappers have made songs using racial epithets towards white people, they just do it every song now, Here are some examples: no auto durk, 1st day out by T grizzly, Astroworld
Escalated? He STARTED THE ALTERCATION!.
He then of course ALSO escalated it.
All the fault of this lies in the officer, that guy was bothering no one, minding his own business walking down the street while singing the song he is listening to. These officers are beyond disgusting.
This is horrible. This poor man did nothing wrong. That whole department deserves to be investigated. I hope they take action
I'm so sick of the older officers with their "I AM the law" mentality, they literally believe anything THEY SAY goes 👴👴👴👴🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
They don't have to be old even younger officers have that mindset.
These cops are so petty and vindictive, power tripping. Handcuffed for singing! The couple should get legal counsel. They probably can’t afford it. Judge also gets an F. It would be the right thing to drop all charges.
They think they represent the moral compass of our society.
Where is the common sense...? profanity has no place in public community. Take a walk in the woods far far from shame on ya...
Because they have nothing else, probably, except a high school education. So they're always out with something to prove.
I imagine this made them feel highly esteemed that day. 🤔😏
“If you don’t be quiet you’ll be arrested too” the officer says to the dudes wife. Fire that cop immediately thats a power trip if I’ve ever seen one
Lol, as if a department would fire someone for anything, let alone telling someone they’d arrest them. What do you think this is, a non corrupt country??
... and fire the chief for not doing anything about it in the moment.
The arrestee’s “N-word” pass was revoked, just like non-melinanated folks lol. Sorry that I have to laugh at this irony!
The man is without question out of control. How he ever got to be a cop is a wonder.
@@krane15 You kidding? That is the REASON he became a cop, along with his low IQ score.
He was arrested after asking the officer's name. That's retaliation.
Trying to figure out what to charge him with sounds like conspiracy to me.
Threatening arrest for asking questions sounds like harassment and intimidation.
And denying him a jury trial sounds like the FBI needs to step in.
Here's the thing - all of those can be true and nothing will happen. This is the society that we all live in, and it will not change because the most any of us are willing to do is write a comment like this.
@@youtubeuser269 Get the ACLU involved?
@@johnv3733 yeah..the aclu would do something..the fbi won't do anything
I'd also add conspiring on the part of the judge and prosecutor cause after looking at this video, they still decide to follow through with this charge(s) under this BS circumstances, they are just as guilty. It needs to required that when cops waste taxpayers time and money on shit like this, they are the ones that pay or the cost comes out of their budget. They know full well the charges are bogus and so does the prosecutors and judges.
@John V the ACLU is a joke, they don't care about civil liberties, they only care about towing the alt left ideological line so they can keep getting paid. Their reaction to the Rittenhouse exoneration its just more evidence in a long list of that. And where are they condemning the New York Times and the FBI for illegally publishing privileged communications between James O'Keefe and his attorney that were illegally seized by the FBI and handed over to the New York Times the day before and FBI whistleblower was scheduled to go public? keep in mind that this happened while the New York Times is involved in a lawsuit that they will most likely lose against James O'Keefe and project veritas. Where is the ACLU demanding prosecutions against all FBI employees and New York Times employees involved in that scandal? they haven't said a single word about it, because the ACLU has not cared about civil liberties for at least a couple of decades.
The most amazingly horrific part of these videos is that they are aware of their body cams and still continue these type of interactions. Interactions prior to body cams must have been nightmarish!
I'm so happy you bring light to incidents such as this.
I like how they say he interfered in their investigation. He was just walking down the street. The cops decided that stopping this man was more important than their investigation. The cops interfered in their own investigation.
True lol
^THIS^
YES
Here’s the thing, he didn’t interfere with anything. They chose to stop him to interact with him and approach him. Everything that happened was by the choice of the police. He was happy to go somewhere and never interact.
I love how he was supposedly violating the noise ordinance but whenever a car goes by you can't hear him loudly talking to the officer.
@@youtubeSuckssNow I could barely hear him on the body cam footage even without a car passing.
Cop: "Boy, did I just catch you singing and enjoying yourself?"
And if he was just walking and singing and the officer hadn’t interfered with him, he would’ve passed by and been out of that area within a few minutes and there would be no problem whatsoever. It’s not as if he was screaming in only place outside someone’s house.
freedom of speech is an illusion🤣🤣🤣
THANK YOU... this is the first Kamikoto AD read that I've ever heard, where the person actually pronounces 'Kamikoto' relatively close to correctly! Thank you for your diligence sir :)
Ha, I have yet to be able to close my mouth. I cannot even believe this harrassment.
Why even invite trouble!?
This young man was simply minding his own business walking along.
The fact that the chief agrees with this asinine behavior is the very reason these 2-officers are ignorant, lawless and possess NO critical thinking skills!
Insanity on full display by this entire department, especially their boss for going along with his officers!!!
Lady- Asks a question
Cop- “If you don't be quiet you'll be arrested”
This is literally a abuse of power🙁
I am so disappointed in police
Really! That’s their answer for any and everything!
Then your idea of police is delusional
@@vincentjack735 Nah they pretty much deserved this. Bad cops take all the spotlight over good cops because you hardly see one actually doing their job and not looking for victim’s to arrest.
She's black too
@@vincentjack735 I think your idea of police is delusional. Everything that they said is 100 % correct. I’m connected to multiple cops. I have a few in my family and my husbands father is a captain. I know first hand what goes on and the abuse of authority. The retaliation, unlawful arrest, lies and all. I could go on for days. I think you might wanna pull their boots out of mouth a little
"if you don't stop talking I'll arrest you too".
Says it all.
These cops not only need fired, but IMPROSONED.
Imprisoned
Let’s make them just learn their lessons and make them work on our roads free of pay for the rest of their lives. Save tax money and find a nice new spot for people like this in society.
facts they shouldn’t even be walking in society
Your spelling needs to be improsoned.
Reading improsoned I think made it read better...
That was retaliation on the polices behalf. They allowed him to leave until he said he was going to file a complaint. Thats when they restarted the harrassment.
Can't sing between 7am and midnight. So you can sing from midnight to 7am 🤔
The cop tells him not to use profanity, then uses profanity himself when he isn't obeyed mindlessly.
"Rules are for thee, not for me."
@@loki2240 Violation of 14th amendment equal protection rights.
Lol
He should have ticketed himself for hypocrisy.
The cop was talking about swearing but said to the man. “Don’t let me catching you F*** walking around here again”
Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
@@krane15 a little too ironic.
@@schwazelbacher and yeah, I really do think
"Walking down the street while black" sounds about right.
James you are a beast.. been following you for several years
Did anyone else notice when the "Chief Tyrant" told his "Sensitive Cop" that they couldn't get him on disorderly conduct due to freedom of speech, "Sensitive Cop" responded, What do you mean?, as if he had no idea what THE CONSTITUTION and 1st Amendment are.
The policing in this country gets more and more deplorable by the day.
Best part of whole video.
Thanks to everyone having video cameras in their pockets and bodycams, the police are being forced to slowly become less deplorable. The scary thing to me is that the City Council didn't fire the Chief and the Officer immediately. That means they support the harassment of Blacks for being Black.
He has no idea what it means they Swear to protect the Constitution and don't even know what it is
@@danielwebster5748 Like a lot of Police Officers, he knows his job is to harass Black people.
Ignorant cop doesn't need to know the law or the constitution as both are completely irrelevant to his job. In a police State cops do as they please as proven here & thousands of other videos just like this.
chief: “well he does have the freedom of speech”
officer: “what does that mean???”
Goes to show you, they don't even know their job, they can kill you and get away. Remember cops kill you in your own home, because they're scared.
People will soon fight back and take over.
Taliban took over, same thing soon.
Have a gut feeling the chief then pointed to his body cam, because then he suddenly “remembered” what freedom of speech was
"Oh, oh... oh..."
@@evkupokemonss1778 Ah yes, using statistical outliers to define your norm. Perfectly reasonable
@@evkupokemonss1778 bruh LOL taliban is tyrannical, the Quran is the basis for all laws... they are worse than officers, they will use their paramilitaries to get what they want
They did this on camera imagine what they do and say when the are cameras off
It should be noted the cop literally was yelling curses at the guy he was stopping singing lyrics containing cursing.
Anybody notice there wasn't a victim in sight, til the police showed up?
Every time
America has more crimes that lack a true victim than it doesn't.
@@fettel1988 It's all about money. Civil asset forfeiture, extortion and imprisonment generate revenue w and w out victims.
They weren't and are not a victim
I can't believe they're talking about him interfering with an investigation when they are the ones who ran over to the sidewalk to get in his face.
Guy sings a song with profanity in it, which can be heard on pretty much every radio station or music streaming platform: BAD!
Cop cussing him out: GOOD!
The twisted mind these people have. Absolutely disgusting.
To be fair, it's typically censored if it's played on the radio. But yeah, the officer didn't seem to care about his own hypocrisy or how his own profanity could've somehow harmed society.
@@loki2240 not where I live....
If profanity is played on the radio, it would be a violation of FCC rules, and the station would be subject to large fines.
His request for a jury trial was denied? Is that common? It's crazy how confusing and one sided the justice system is.
Funny to charge for loudness, next to a medium 2 lane traffic road, where the transitory sound volume of singing is simillar or less than a typical car/ or even track! It is a prime example of stifling the lyrics via the volume. The lesser charge to keep the affair away from a jury is also bc disorderly AND/OR volume violation conviction would be quite an unlikely outcome from any jury. Even in Georgia !:) If the judge finds him guilty after comparing car to singing volumes, Mr Jeferson should try to get funding for pursuing a 1st amendment violation AND flagrant retaliation charge too, seeking the song's writer/producer help is a good idea.
It’s always curios why the cops can’t understand why they’re hated. They claim the citizen was “interfering “ with their investigation even though he didn’t approach them, initiate contact with them or anyone else on scene. The cops chose to approach him and make unreasonable demands and then arrested him because he mentioned filing a complaint. The disconnect is painfully obvious to any third party but they just can’t understand that people aren’t required to comply with every single word out of their mouths.
That chief should be terminated immediately because he didn’t stop the situation and even stated he didn’t see any problems.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'd say all of these tyrants should be fired. They all knowingly violated rights they swore to uphold.
Fyi folks the supreme court’s have deemed that the domestic terrorist criminal thugs in the clown costumes are not here for our protection whatsoever, which means that we as taxpayers are paying for REVENUE GENERATORS to rob us citizens for their masters ie the crooked ass city officials, judges, prosecutors and district attorney’s who allow these domestic terrorist criminal thugs in the clown costumes to violate the royal hell out of our civil rights on an every single day basis
@@gearhead682010 They harrass and collect.
On top of which they had a discussion trying to think of what to charge him with. Maybe don't handcuff people and detain them unnecessarily when you don't even know what offence they've committed.
This is a perfect example of cops arresting first and then making up charges later.
The writing is so good on this channel
At 10:00 chief says "were talkin bout freedom of speech", and other moron cop says, "what do you mean", WOW just WOW, do they require any intelligence at all to be a cop in this town?? I laughed out loud in shock.
They were letting him go until he asked for the tyrant's name to file a complaint. The arrest was obviously retaliatory. The travesty is the Chief of Police not only fully endorsed it, but assisted in the kidnapping.
They are showing us exactly who they are. Never speak to the police. EVER
The only words you should ever speak to cops is, "I invoke my fifth amendment right, and I refuse to answer any questions. I need an attorney present."
I love how the cop used profanity as the citizen was walking down the street. You can't make this stuff up.
Seriously. The exact "infration" he was accusing the guy of. "Don't let me catch you walking down the fucking street again." 🤦 I get that confrontation is stressful, but when it's a daily part of your JOB to remain calm and professional during confrontation, if you cant do it, you need to work to improve or find a new job.
@@tfgrrl2042 nothing about this needed to be stressful (on the officers part).
😂 right? Hypocrisy.
@Lea Beauty this interaction? No, he definitely turned it into something it didn't need to be. But generally speaking they have a lot of stressful interactions.
@@tfgrrl2042 Generally speaking, they put themselves into stressful interactions and their massive ego's won't let them out of it.
Them sitting there discussing how best to ruin someone's life is depressingly common. And disgusting
We're talking freedom of speech.
Officer Tucker: what do you mean??
What about the illegal search? The "officer" reached INTO the man's pockets during the Terry frisk, although the man was NOT under arrest. I hope someone continues to pursue this issue.
They won't. And even if, despite this footage the entire PD is just gonna protect the cop and the victim here will probably have his charges seen through, if not even have his sentence worsened
Good point, it was probably glossed over in the video because of all the other awful stuff the police were doing. Example of not being able to see a tree for the forest.
the guy ended up filing a case, the judge agreed with the charges , the judge and the guys own attorney wanted him to take a deal instead but he did not and then his attorney dropped this case its sad.
"Don't let me catch you walking down the street again" -cop.
How is it some people still can't recognize that they are a gang
“Hey you are on our turf punk!”
Most people don't realize they are in a cult.
A legalized gang that we frickin pay with our taxes!
I say this all the time. One of the biggest organized gangs.
I was in a place called Pooler, GA for work. The place was swarming with police. I mean everywhere. It was unnerving even just driving back to the motel from work. I wouldn't go back.
These are getting funnier 😂😂😂
This is the height of arrogance, tells him he cant use profanities, then uses one himself. The officer wants to impose his thoughts on to another, obviously someone he deems at a lower level than him. Ego’s are the biggest issue with law enforcement, they just cant get over them
God I wish when cops use profanities after handcuffing someone for doing the same, the person in cuffs would start yelling hey arrest yourself (or arrest this man) to the other cops. Are we both not subject to the same laws? Are you not subject to *more* restrictions because of your professionalism standards?
Any sane court would slap that cop twice.
The "officer" also then gave the man an unlawful order and threatened to arrest him for perfectly legal action( i.e. walking down the street).
I hope sues in civil court and is rewarded much break the bank everywhere until our civil rights are acknowledged and protected
You’re right.
Officer: "We could get him for Disorderly Conduct."
Chief: "That's pretty thin. You're talking Freedom of Speech."
Officer: "What do you mean?"
This says it all.
Police State.
That says it all.
America is a giant police department
Chief: It means YOU ARE FIRED, smartass
Glad that was on footage. The officer has not even been trained in US Constitutional Rights. Unbelievable the stupidity of this officer and the city not to train police officers of our most basis rights. How could this singing law even had been written in the first place. A lawyer or city manager should had known it violates Constitutional Rights. So fricking stupid. Because of their stupidity they will have to pay this man tax payers money. This officer looks like he belongs in the movie Dumb and Dumber.
Exactly! He had GED flare up!
The Officer yelled & told that guy "DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU WALKING DOWN THE STREET AGAIN!" He clearly has to walk he has no car, this is flat out bullying- they always tell black people to go back in the house or if you keep asking me questions, I'm arresting you- smh
The cop is a) YELLING b) Swearing. So... it's a bit ridiculous to claim the resident is a problem for being loud and swearing. Also, that road is loud as hell.
"don't let me catch you down the road later". That was super terrible by that officer and should be fired.
Chief: "He's claiming freedom of speech" Officer: "What?" Says all you need to know about the officer.
Yep the ignorance is real
Fascists hate free-speech.
Cop: You can't sing profanity.
Also cop: Don't let me catch you walking down the f*cking road again!"
Right!?!?!?
That’s a hell of a threat. People still wonder why cops are hated though.😂🤷♂️🤷♂️
I love this channel because it shows the idiocy if these people.
So violating the city's ordinance of volume like if you respond to someone across the street and you have to shout over passing cars noises you're violating city volume ordinance? Do you also violate it if your dog barks non-stop like my neighbor's where we can't even hear ourselves from 6 feet apart?
If you'll notice there are times when Mr. Jefferson is virtually drowned out by traffic. On a high traffic roadway during the middle of the day, it would be difficult to prove human speech as disturbing the peace.
Most towns have a sound ordinance that doesnt go into affect later in the evening so no way this dude is disturbing the peace anyway
@@WobiKabobi You're correct. The cop is misapplying the law for selfish and vindictive purposes. Either that, or he's just plain ignorant of the law. Either way, he shouldn't be a cop and removed from duty.
In fact, DP is one of those catch-all, but highly misunderstood laws (like loitering), that depend largely on the cop's interpretation. But you're correct, it unlikely any reasonable judge would convict someone on disturbing the piece for singing, regardless of they lyrics, and especially during the middle of the day.
Most excessive noise laws don't apply in residential areas between 8:00 AM - 11: PM. Otherwise, nobody would ever be able to have parties and gathering in the evenings.
@@krane15 agreed
Profanity is included in many "disorderly conduct" statutes.
"Be quiet or I will arrest you!" Cops in this country are out of control!
This is called a Police State. when cop control what you say & do. this is not a one off.
This is because profanity is literally a sign of aggression! It should mean disorderly conduct, even if the police use it themselves!
Cops: "You can't you profanity in public sir..."
Also cops: "Put your mother F*";"ng hands up you black piece of s*'t"
Minority:" I'm Dominican sir! "
Cop who just showed up: "SHOTS FIRED SHOTS FIRED, HE WAS RESISITING!"
They act like immature bullies!!
The cop's in America really do need to be rebuilt from the ground up. Not top down! it doesn't work if at the top there is corruption as they all seem to be.
This has to be one of the episodes that got to me the most. More overtly in the wrong than usual and it looks like a real lion's den of corruption spread up to the very top of command. I hope these two get their rightfully earned justice and that the thugs in uniform are put well away from positions of power. That bit about changing the charges to deny him a trial by jury is so messed up
Audit the Audit needs to do an audit on their shady sponsors...
Kamikoto sells overpriced knives that are made in China (NOT Japan) from one of the cheapest types of steel with ~0% carbon. They have extremely poor edge retention and need constant sharpening. They charge hundreds for what should be priced less than $20. Shadiversity made a video testing and comparing their products to competitors'.
The parent company also runs a scam called Established Titles. They claim to sell 1 sq ft plots of land in Scotland, which gives you the title or "Lord/Lady". It's not legally possible to buy 1 sq ft nor does land ownership give you any title of nobility. You pay hundreds for nothing more than a worthless certificate and a small donation to tree-planting charities.
Even though the initial interaction was due to his 'singing', he was literally arrested for speaking to an officer in asking for his name/picture. I'm starting to see why people in America don't trust police...
Binge watch this channel, and others like it. You'll have no doubts as to why.
Not to mention the detaining officer told his wife "shut up, or youll be arrested" when she was asking questions. Cops dont like to be challenged, and a lot of them take it as a threat to their authority.
There are good officers and there are bad but it’s impossible to know the difference until you encounter them which makes it terrifying to deal with
@@ittorasetsuxx8077 good officers dont do anything when watching bad officers conduct themselves in the way they do. Making them just as bad. No such things as good cops
@@ittorasetsuxx8077 unfortunately there aren't many good ones. They don't get paid enough. The only people that become cops nowadays are complete idiots who aren't smart enough to get a better job or people who want to bully others like these guys....or both. Police culture also encourages this behavior. They are cowards. The left makes it worse by trying to say they are racist when in reality they do this to everyone.
Gotta love it when a cop walks over to YOU and then proceeds to say “your impending my investigation.” It looks like the “Feelings police” got there feelings hurt once again.
@Bobb Grimley lmao it's so easy to do a typo even if you know them if you're just not concentrating, give them a break
Look I'm a cop and I see nothing wrong here

@Bobb Grimley that’s what you got out of this comment….please learn what a typo is.
@Bobb Grimley did you just try to say learn and type love? The irony
@Bobb Grimley oh bless your heart hun you think your doing something productive.
Chief coaching the underlings on how to make a BS charge stick.
I love hearing the sigh with the cops realize.. no arrest kickback on this one..

"You're talking freedom of speech." "What do you mean?"
They wonder why people they don't like and why they're losing support.
Freedom is an illusion. The only true freedom is in a grave.
@@rolln6s23 or living in a cave.
@@rolln6s23 no it in ilslsion say wah fuck iw ant and noting happens
This officer has a attitude problem, he ESCALATES this situation with being a total bully, he needs a new profession and should be removed from his position as a PEACE OFFICER or police officer, there are many police officers in the department who serves THEMSELVES and not the general population which PAYS there salaries, if all the police officer do not know or is not aware of the laws in there district or state, they are not educated in this field of their trade as a police officer in their departments, there should be a REQUIREMENT for all hired police officers to know the laws BEFORE they are hired as a police officer on any police department force
imagine if this dude was a city cop with dozens of people video taping him and talking shyt...
small town cops are soft af.
@@Bee-tj8gcsmall town/suburban cops have nothing better to do then harass people over the most absurd things. I've lived in the suburbs in the same town my whole life and it's insane the things they do bc there's barely any real crime. City cops aren't much better though. A lot if them are real corrupt bearing ppl up stealing money etc. Experienced that too living in the suburbs outside camden NJ and Philadelphia
@@leftypirate thing is city cops are experienced due to the actual high volume of crime and interactions with individuals, and as a result they end up being experienced in malicious policiing tactics whereas the country cops are inexperienced and can easily be tricked but as a result of that they're insecure and easy to rile up, they're basically always looking to bash someones head in to prove themselves.
Majority of police officers have a high school education only. They are only trained at the academy how to shoot their guns and act tough. They are trained to harrass people into submission of guilt. I know cuz I know one of my relatives is a cop,
Exactly! Did you see how he stepped closer to the guy and got in his face to try and intimidate him. He should be fired immediately
This video is by far the most agregeous of all. Singing in public turned into a disorderly arrest.??? I hope he sues the piss out of that police department
OMG! THIS ALMOST HAPPENED TO ME! I WAS IN THE CAR WITH MY BROTHERS GIRLFRIEND WHO WAS DRIVING, AND I WAS ABOUT 15 YEARS OLD , SINGING A KAREN CARPENTER SONG AND THE TOWN POLICE BULLY TURNED HIS CAR AROUND FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SAID HE THOUGHT I YELLED SOMETHING AT HIM [BECAUSE NO ONE IN THE TOWN LIKES HIM, AND HIS NAME WAS PENWARDEN!] AND THEN HE WENT TO MY PARENTS HOUSE THAT NIGHT TO TELL THEM I WAS LUCKY HE DID NOT ARREST ME FOR BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO HIM. WHEN WAS I DISRESPECTFUL? IT DID AFFECT HOW I LOOKED AT COPS AS A GIRL .I THOUGHT, WHY IS HE TRYING TO GET ME IN TROUBLE? IF MY PARENTS THOUGHT I HAD DISRESPECTED A COP THEY WOULD HAVE.....DONE THINGS . LIKE WAS HE S.S. OR SOMETHING? WHAT A TRIP!
So you're allowed to sing between midnight and 7AM? When you would most certainly be "disturbing the peace?"
Makes total sense
For real. They got that shit backwards.
You're probably only allowed to sing in your mind from midnight to 7am.
I thought he said 7 am to midnight
@@darrellwilliams1714 Right, the ordinance states it is illegal to sing between 7 AM and Midnight. Which would mean singing between Midnight and 7 AM is not restricted.
Watch it again 6:45. Publicly you cannot sing between midnight and 7am
“Can’t be using profanity walking around!”
*instantly uses profanity himself
Don't FUCKING swear. Using profanity is SHIT
A few days ago I heard loud squaking and thought someone needed help or a Dr. Walking closer I realized they were happily "singing?" lol. It made me remember part of a BIble verse to make a joyful noise. I didn't conplain, call the cops or comment to or about the person making those sounds. I just went about my business glad the person was "OK". 😁
I was raised in Augusta Georgia I'm a 41 year old black male. I left Augusta in 2000. One thing I can tell you from growing up there and having interactions with police on rare occasions is that the Richmond County Sheriff's Department hires officers that have a deep southern; good old boy mentality and view the African American population there with contempt.
I would LOVE a "Follow up" episode. Going back through some of the older episodes and letting us know the outcomes.
Me too bro
We've all been asking for that for years. Doubt it will happen though.
Honestly it sounds like a shitload of work for him to do that. Having to keep up with the amount of videos he's covered. I think if we want this to happen, we need to let him know about any updates and do the research for him, then he can just compile it into a video where he covers 5-6 updates in a single video. He already does a ton of work for this channel.
Unfortunately most of the follow up reports would show nothing happened to the officers.
Follow ups may prove aTa wrong on some legal opinions. js
"He's not under arrest."
Didn't SCOTUS hold that being handcuffed _and moved to a car_ can be constructive arrest?
If it's not an arrest it seems like unlawful detainment.
At what point is an arrest even an arrest if I can be handcuffed and dumped in the car?
Yes, yes it is.
Kind of.
For the purposes of Miranda, you are entitled to your Miranda rights as soon as you are no longer free to go.
If you are not advised, the judge may throw out whatever you say between the points that you're detained and the point that you're advised of your rights.
@@crazyrobots6565 No "kind of" about it. Supreme Court has ruled clearly on this. This was an arrest. An unlawful arrest at that.
Can we get have a update on this case please if you can?
Guy singing by himself with nobody else in a 2 km radius,
Cops- “hey man, you dont gotta be disturbing eVeRyOnE aRoUnD hErE” 😂
“Don’t let me catch you walking down the road again”
Yup. This is America.
Freedom!
Yeah, I heard that sh!t too. Just fu**in with him.
The officer not only shouted this at him, but he actually said, "walking down the fucking road," so he literally did the thing he's arresting this guy for.
Yep... *AMERICA PROBLEMS*
@@nhatminhang2821 Abuse of powers by law enforcement is certainly not just an American thing.
"You're talking freedom of speech." "Huh???" Officer doesn't understand freedom of speech?? Very SAD!!!!
I was just about to comment the same thing.
"i better not catch you walking down the road again" really? walking in public? that is what you are going to threaten the man over?
Matthew Mercer: We can arrest him for disorderly conduct.
Matthew Mercer: Make a deception check with disadvantage
I give the Mrs. Jefferson A+
It’s really hard not to see this as “walking while black.”
Wwb
@@shaunporter3755 what are you trying to say?
@@VakzFFA walking while black….
@@shaunporter3755 translated to English, this means wwb for anyone wondering
Walking while crazy or a junkie is more like it. Just listen to this guy and he sounds like there is something wrong with him. If this guy walked passed my house I'd tell my kids to come inside and to stay away from him.
His detainment was based solely upon retaliation. Had he not asked for the officer’s name, and walked away (like a good little boy) as her was ordered; he would have been allowed to go on about his business. Straight Bull s**t.
Yeah it was wrongful fr
Can we get updates on the video's that have been uploaded
Damn thats my exact text ringtone that keeps chiming, I keep checking my volume and notifications
Between 7 am and 12 midnight?! That makes no sense. So they're allowed to sing between midnight and 7 am during the middle of the night?! That's absurd!
I’m not sure but that might be backwards.
I had that same thought. Like what?
I think this was a mistake
Glad I wasn’t the only one confused with that
@@Jasonleng11 on who's part? The lawbook or RWP reading the law? Because later in the video he referred back to it saying banning daytime singing sounds unreasonable.
Was this in a 'Sundown Town'? The police didn't explicitly say it, but what I heard was, "keep movin', boy".
Why are they allowed to deny your request for a jury trial, can someone educate me on this?
