There is much more to this story that I was unable to cover in this episode and I encourage you to check out the articles linked in the description to get a deeper understanding of the incidents surrounding this interaction.
can you do the knee on neck next?
I have been seriously considering a video about this topic so keep your eyes peeled.
@@AuditTheAudit, I would appreciate your research on that situation. I am wondering if it is a systemic problem that needs more training. The whole, "If you can talk, then you can breathe!" idea doesn't sound right. After fighting, I think that the breathing problem might not allow enough air to meet the needs of the body. Imagine running the 100 m dash, and then being choked almost completely.
Also, I'd like to know if there is enough info to be concerned about police brutality and racism. I don't think that that is the case.
I'm just guessing, though.
Who knew that the thin blue line has different "shades" of blue?
I mean we ALL knew that it had streaks of "correctional facility orange"😒😏, I HOPE that the world gets to see a true cleansing of our police and political system before it's too late
I'm usually prowling RUclips for videos and this is one that escaped my obsessive gaze. A very interesting situation to watch, lots of privileges being afforded. The moral of the story is, be in law enforcement and you can push the boundaries of the law, and be afforded endless courtesies. Another stellar episode 👌🏿 😄
He handed the other cop his phone after he was handed the warrant for his cell phone. That's 100% blatant obstruction of justice.
Exactly, for me I saw his actions from the start as obstruction. He deliberately handed his phone to his colleague while reading the warrant infront of the officer, which mission was to acquire the phone
the other officer he gave the phones to should have been charged too. Then the guy blocking the back door, who batted the cop's hand away should've caught a battery on an LEO as well.
@@amadeupname151 The entire place should be charged, they are all complicit.
but here we are in whacko world...
The other cop then goes through his phone deleting incriminating evidence
I didn’t understand why they sent regular officers for a sheriff. The captain should have served the warrant. Bc they were too afraid to demand the undersheriff to not leave the room.
It should be immediate termination if you don’t comply with the law when you are to uphold the same law. Not for speeding or anything like that but such as this
I love when the cop opens the door and has the "oh shit its the cops'' look on his face.
Those were the eyes of a guilty man! That whole department is crooked!
I wanted the feds to be there so it's 10x worse for them. "Oh shit it's the feds"XD. I dare on of them to put their hands on a federal agent.
...and they play their own theme music as they walk through the door.
@@natebyars2439 Wasn't it his own department that started the investigation?
@@avengingme no a different police department.
UPDATE:
The sheriff was sentenced to 3 years in prison plus 1.5 years probation, and the undersheriff agreed to resign in exchange for his own fourth-degree felony count being dropped.
thank you!
Good
Not good enough
Thanks for the info! So much for holding people in power to higher accountability.
Under deputy needs to be arrested, and if cooperation, releases- and only arrested to prevent them from getting another job as a LEO anywhere.
Once arrested for a felony you can’t be a cop anymore. Period. The state keeps that record.
This is a man who is discovering accountability for the first time in his life.
how r the bacon going to go arrest porkchops that they know are armed and dangerous so calmly but yet will kick down the door of and elderly person with guns pointed to serve a warrant for a parking ticket and start shooting cause they fear for their life???? don’t nobody see anything wrong with this???
@@TheDogGoesWoof69 yeah, that’s a risk you assume when you use a phone to commit a crime. The court order means you hand it over. Period. That is 100% what this sheriff would require of the defendant in any subpoena that he served.
Somebody with child porn on their computer probably had some personal information on there too. Doesn’t mean they get a say in who sees it. Maybe don’t keep sensitive stuff on a device you plan on using to commit a crime. Or just don’t commit the crime in the first place.
@@TheDogGoesWoof69he needed to delete the TBs of TS porn you've been sharing lol
@@tonyescoYeah. I see an incoherent run on sentence.
@@NedWasHere94 its a camera stupid, its not a phone
A+ for the lady at the beginning for standing her ground and not fearing ranks. She immediately called for a superior officer so the sheriff wouldn’t manipulate the scene.

Absolutely
Every officer should uphold the law. But in most cities police and sheriff's don't get along well because of jurisdiction conflicts.
Obviously this situation is police investigation of the sheriff and his deputies.
Sheriff departments are notoriously corrupt, they generally have small organizations that have a chain of command that has no oversight besides themselves. Similar to Internal Affairs and local police departments.
Because of this and sheriff departments chain of command, one corrupt sheriff creates corrupt subordinate deputies because their career depends upon their superior, the Sheriff and Under/Assistant Sheriff.
Same that happens in small police departments where superiors train subordinates improperly.
Now THIS is a department that needs to be gutted and completely restaffed
This and any one like it. There should be no Blue Gang.
@@hagamapama what? wdym no blue?
@@_dajo Blue Gang = police acting like a criminal gang.
They were, they got served a F for failure to comply with district court order of search warrant. If you fail to comply, it is a criminal offense under constitutions and if you are assisting a suspect it is a civil disobedience charge, there for issuing deputies a penalty order of lockdown for shielding a potential suspect while obstructing court investigator judges with issuing the search warrant for criminal evidences. If station running without a sheriff, and deputies found shielding sheriff then station is therefore not compliant with state law and will be temporarily shut down until new federal compliant officers arrive to re open and serve in the station. Deputies will be immediately suspended, until given further penalty notices of fines leading up to arrest of sheriff for assisting sheriff in giving false evidence to court of law. If you are officer handing out search warrant, it is civil offense for giving privileges not just to a sheriff or chief but to anyone who wishes to walk around or walk off. The special probationary serving officers, were given suspended leave until they can pass retraining tests of statutory reasoning and laws when serving warrants to the suspects.
I used to have the same profile picture as you, what a coincidence
Props to the lady at the beginning of this video. She IMMEDIATELY called in to explain what she was dealing with. She was not about to let anyone “manipulate” the things that were happening in the situation. No arguments, no bantering back and forth, just going right in and doing her job to the best of her ability. And it certainly seems like her abilities are above that of many other people who may have found themselves in a scenario such as this. Good on her!!!
The fact that these cops ALLOWED HIM to violate this warrant. They need to be investigated
@@davidoffon That was my thought to the "Oh it's because of entitlement and special privilege towards other officers."
No, it's called they're outnumbered against armed potentially hostile people.
@davidoffon , very much agree. You can see it in their body language and hear it in their voices as they enteract with the deputies. I had to watch a standoff like this between tribal and state police once. Neither party would concede, both sides had similar training and equipment at thier disposal, no clear edge. It was an extremely tense situation. I'll never forget it.
@unconka-rebeltruth9336, just curious. What would you have done in their place? Would you have risked escalating the situation by affecting an arrest on the sherrif or his men?
@@TwOfBlack I'm not a cop. . But I've seen cops violate peoples' rights . This sheriff obstructed shit when he showed up on the scene of the police . . That's what kicked off the investigation anyways . The offi ers were in the right . . If I were in their shoes YES Ida subdued the subject. And having 7 buddies as backup... ? Let the camera roll, let heads roll . . Again theoffi ers were justified so. . Any one to Interfere can definitely catch charges . . U saying u would not do ur duty.
I mean, they probably didn’t think they had the authority or ability to stop him… so they allowed it.
I did the same, not knowing what to do or if I was even legally allowed… so I did nothing, to prevent myself from being sued or convicted of a crime by acting.
Inaction when you’re not being served a warrant is better lol don’t interfere with the police officer’s duties. Police / PD should have told him not to do that, as they, had the authority and opportunity to do so
@@TwOfBlackyou legally can, and even if you did fight the police- they’re sworn law enforcement officers… and the FBI would investigate if any shots fired.
Seriously a bad idea. Dispatch logged it. PD logged it. SO logged it.
You’d be dumb to kill, attack, injure or otherwise mess with a cop on duty as another law enforcement officer, maliciously.
“You got a search warrant on a misdemeanor?”
Every person charged with drug crime be like........ yeah
On any crime where there is evidence that can determine how a case goes, you get a warrant for that evidence, no matter how serious the crime.
"uau, u got 3 units out there!? that's a lot"
effected. Shit they bring six every time I roll through a stop sign
Facts.
Drug crimes are felony. Derp
"Here's a warrant."
"For what case?"
Damn sheriff you got more than one?
hahahahaha
Could have a number of civil suits. A lot of older cops have those and they continue on the force to pay for legal fees.
"I'm gonna pay my child support, I swear!"
"We're not here for t--"
"I was JUST giving that scantily-clad woman a ride, since when is it a crime giving a nice young lady a ride at 3:34 AM and taking a shortcut through the industrial park!?!"

@@HoneyNVinegar 😂
@@HoneyNVinegar This should be a sketch comedy skit. 👏
Edit: grammar
The sheriff and everyone below him should be investigated and charged accordingly.
Thank God a judge saw through him and saw the twisted actions sentencing him to 3 years. Can't imagine how a sheriff will fair in prison.
Probably not well.
they are segregated from gen pop, he'll be fine
Cops don't get dropped like most people think .. they get sent to low yards and sometimes drop out yards
whole office should be shutdown. if an officer has more loyalty to their co workers than the badge, they shouldnt be cops. its how corruption happens.
I'm not sure the apprehension was about loyalty...
This is like a non-cash-handling retail worker walking into their boss's office and accusing them of pocketing a few thousand dollars from the registers on a daily basis.
They aren't purporting loyalty. They're scared out of their minds.
Pardon my ignorance. I was thinking about the city cops, not the sheriff's deputies. Good lord this is awful.
@@atklm1 You would get hung for following an illegal order of murder. Just like the Nazis who were hung for following orders from the hierarchy.
@@atklm1 Not if those orders go contrary to law, go reread your "following unlawful orders" again.
@@atklm1 yah and that's the problem people have. Take all the corrupt shit that goes on in the military and is deemed ok just because your superior is fine with it. So many servicemen go to other countries (such as Haiti during the earthquake tragedy) and rape and assault and take advantage of foreigners. If that happens to the citizens of a 3rd world country that did nothing wrong and just needs humanitarian aid imagine the kind of shit that happens to people of Iraq and Afghanistan among others who most see as enemies
I'm going to use the Sheriff's tactics next time I have a warrant. Wish me luck.
Was nice knowing you
Don't drop the soap.
Let us know how it feels when your muscles lock and can't move for shit
Barry Bamb [MESSAGE DELETED BY RUclips] hopefully you have a heavily defended compound with loyalist by your side :)
Good luck. We're all counting on you.
A State Judge should have immediately issued an order removing ALL of this obviously corrupt "Sheriff Department" from duty. And the U.S. Marshal's office should be investigating them since they deal with warrants and fugitives yet refuse to comply with the same laws that they enforce upon others. 😕
It wouldn’t be the US Marshals doing an investigation in this case but the FBI as it’s their jurisdiction if any feds were to investigate this. I doubt they will as the locals did themselves, but they may keep an eye out just in case if anything.
@@nathansheldahl US Marshals have arrest authority over these cops, they damn sure can take action.
The department of justice can get involved
He tried to FLEE . . . . arrest him
His coworkers helping him out also deserve to be under investigation.
My thoughts literally right now. Not finished yet. I'm at 10:15 and saw your comment and yeah.
Fr aint there something about if you help a criminal even if you didn’t commit the crime bt you helped them you’ll get arrested also or sum?
@@uatesonitaufa9652 Guilty By Association
@@iHeffy I thought that only aplies if you are proven to be an associate in the crime or had prior knowledge of the crime.... Im not 100% on US law...
Let's be honest here if the guy being serve the warrant is the active sheriff that means all of them are under him inside that sheriff's office. That's a hard place to be in for them and yes the right thing to do is to help the city police but that's easier said than done in that situation
The entire sheriff department needs to be investigated. They were all acting suspiciously.
That is why we SCREAM reform
BECAUSE they dying slow but surely
I think they were more shocked pissed confused embarrassed and worried about their job security.
I'm not saying they weren't acting suspicious, I'm just saying how I interpreted their behavior demeanor and dialog
Sam Hansen The sheriffs office? I think they all knew what was going on completely, because I am sure the Sheriff brought it up. I think they were trying to protect one of their own (the sheriff). I mean the under sheriff took the phones and tried to leave the scene. I don’t think they’re worried about their job at that point, because that’s an easy firing offense.
@@michaelof2000
Why would they protect him. On an individual level...not speaking to the agency or profession. But why would deputy ____ risk his family's stability and income for any one individual who was independently involved in his own wrongdoing.
That being said, if the others weren't in on it and were visibly agitated or upset with the situation, another perspective may be.....
They still have to go be sheriff's deputies.... that day and the next and the next... while the community wonders with the only info comi g from a media that speculates cites anonymous sources and plays the video of the sherriff in cuffs on loop.
They were probably thinking... you could've just come in with 2 officers and a detective OOOORRR asked us to serve the warrant.
Professional courtesy as well as a lack of forethought by the local PD in my opinion. But shit happens I guess
This Sheriff is the perfect example of corruption and makes me just as angry as the people who call our Police racist and abusive All The Time!! Shame on You very much Sheriff!!! And GOD Bless Our Police and KEEP THEM SAFE 🙏🙏!!
😂😂
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Just wow the audacity of this sheriff is scary glad him and his under sheriff were both arrested.
The sheriff know his rights pretty well it seems 😂
UPDATE: the sheriff was sentenced to 3 years in early December 2021
Hahaha have fun in prison
@@sylvianorthling1223 for a whole 3 years? People get more time for a fucking marijuana seed.
Was it found what his relation was with the stabbing-related man at the beginning? The content of his phone?
Now Tommy Rodella and James Lujan can play a 'good cop bad cop' together in bed.
@@danielgarrett7226 cute, but wrong. Stop pretending to be angry based on what you hear. I’ve researched their state law and their dispositions and have yet to find someone who served a full 3 years for a marijuana seed.
imagine if a civilian did this, they would be in cuffs so fast its crazy.
Or be beaten down or tased
The privileges of the uniform
Hear me out, an individual police force had the gall to refuse another police force. Don't really care what it was all about. That's not the topic of what I want to discuss. Legally one set of police offers not cooperating with another set of police officers is good for us civilians. Will it prevent higher level police from enforcing shit on civilians? Maybe not but it can give us hope......
It's a slightly different situation when is police v police though. It's a very thin line that gas to be walked carefully unless there is absolutely damning evidence of serious crime. Police unions will fight tooth and nail to protect their officers good or bad. One slip up can derail the whole thing.
Not saying it's right to be this way, just starting that it is.
@@Zeknix I disagree. The point of rebelling against police isn't for the sake of rebelling though. It's for the sake of justice. When one police department disobeyes the lawful and justifiable actions of another- its not a win for civilians- its a loss. Police that follow the law are better for civilians than police that don't. Even better would be laws that are designed to protect all civilians equally rather than just wealthy business owners.
"Ok, so you want us to lock down the sheriff's office?" followed by "Go ahead and call them back" to his buddy is one of the most metal things I've ever heard come out of a cop's mouth
THE AUDIT DID IT! this video would be nothing without the audit, so wonderfully said!! I’m hooked 👏🏾
He behaves this way knowing he’s being recorded? Imagine the corruption & malfeasance that’s gone on for decades in countless departments prior to body-cams. Disgraceful!!!
It's hard to act casual when you're head is spinning out
Even just the fucking NERVE to say, he's getting advice from his lawyer, so why don't you just leave, leave the phones here, and come back after he's spoken to his lawyer. Can I do that when the cops try to serve me with a search warrant???
@Mister Happy Go Lucky k. But why? I did what you said and imagined all the crimes that are not prevented due to bodycams. Then I thought about the fact that by design, the only crimes that bodycams are able to prevent are crimes the cops commit. So what now?
Always such a sick and scary thought
imagine the corruption that occurs on a daily basis right in front of our eyes
When the under sheriff blocked the police officer from trying to get the sheriff he should instantly arrested him for obstruction.
Don't forget when the other minion grabbing the officer by the arm when he went to the back to stop the sheriff from leaving, that's classed as assault, he should have arrested him
Or strangle him
It's a little different when both sides have guns (:
USSR Clips they do it to citizens all day
I don’t think the sheriff deputy that puts his hand on the city cop was sworn yet so he wasn’t carrying.
“Certain departments?” You mean them all? It’s just one big boys club
This is disturbing. Sheriffs are supposed to be the last bastion of protection against an out of control system. To see a Sheriff and all of his employees acting like this is disgusting. Throw em all in jail.
🤣
Google sheriff gangs. You're in for a big wake up call.
@@Metal_HorrorHoly shit
Good work by the female officer, standing up to the drunk off duty sheriff.
I was wondering if he drove to the scene? If so, he should have been arrested for DUI.
Sheriffs are always on duty
Ya I thought she handled herself extremely well. Right away indicated that she did not like the idea to pull out. Then instead of pushing it further pulls back and makes a fast and concise call to correct the situation as fast as possible. There are good cops.
The only one that seems to have done her job right
@Big Cat why? did you get stung by a female officer? Or is it that you never had a woman/man?
The Under Sheriff should have been arrested too for obstruction at the least
And at most?
All of them should have been arrested for trying to protect their friend and not upholding the law that they took an oath for
David Mason guilty of association
when he grabed his arm though lol I would've punched him in the face
The One True God that’s not a law or even a term
Those Officers were avoiding an armed confrontation with the Sheriffs Office. They did a great job!!
Imagine how many retired officers they are that got away with murder literally
They gave him wayyyy too many chances, if that had been a citizen doing all this he would have been arrested in the first 2 minutes
Where I used to work before I retired, that SO wouldve been shut down immediately and sent packing. If he had refused to leave he would've been arrested.
Or even worse
I heard Us polices like to kill than even arresting.
De-escalating worked. There were a lot of guns on the scene.
Could be in avoidance of escalation. Knowing they all have guns and having high suspicion of corruption within the office, the Española officers couldn’t know how far corrupt they were, what they were involved in, or what they were willing to do.
Imagine if an ordinary citizen behaved like this when served a warrant!!
can't imagine getting shot
Yeah right bro if I tried anything similar to this my ass would be put under the jail.
Oh you can see what would happen... Look up Ruby Ridge or Waco!
They would have shot him eventually.
*Above the law*
I read that he was convicted in 2021 and resigned as sheriff and got three years! I think everyone under him should’ve also gotten fired and some time, but it gives me great satisfaction to see that he wasn’t above the law like he thought he was
His second in command, the Undersheriff (guy who was holding his phones for him) resigned his position also in exchange for having a charge against him dropped, after turning himself in.
He probably had connections with criminals and empowered them to commit crimes and get away.

Professional courtesy...
@Frantz Canon thats just a fact. if you let a drunk cop go on driving and he kills someone, what do you tell the family? sorry it was just a professional courtesy, nothing personal.
And he is a Sheriff, Elected official, He swore an oath to uphold the law. Except if it applies to him. Always crooked officials
Also they are surrounded by a rival gang that are all armed. If you were a thug surrounded by other thugs from a rival gang, would you try to incapacitate their leader in front of them?
I was excited to see a police department lock down a sheriff department and go into a stand off before they arrest the whole department.

The sheriff and his staff clearly believed they were above the law itself and it’s just disgusting to watch them disobey direct authority.
You should see what the social justice Sheriff in Wake County, NC has been doing. In fact, he was so bad he lost his primary in his own party by a wide margin then immediately retaliated against everybody. A deputy was killed and that ass refused to let his deputies on duty attend the funeral service even as departments around the state offered coverage as is tradition. Sheriff refused all offers.
Police do not always need to warn you about your rights during the arrest or while you are waiting at the jail. Simply being arrested or detained by police (in custody) does not mean you will hear the Miranda warning. You will hear it before the interrogation starts. If you don’t, law enforcement may have to throw out anything said in the interrogation.
Also the courtesy given should be short in time and only be offered to friendly and cooperating fellow officers. These people broke the trust of fellow collegae law enforcement and the professional courtesy should have been invoked a long time ago and he should have been arrested a long time ago.
Did you consider that the direct authority (a judge) might be corrupt as well.?
@@bixby9797 yeah my buddy moved from Wake County back to Granville County. He said the Sheriff was shit. Don't get me wrong Granville County has had its fair share but that is nuts.

You can tell that the sheriff’s department is corrupt
Always has been for the most part.
Most Sheriff's departments are. Especially in the rural areas were they often have absolute and unchallenged power
What makes you say that? The fact that the previous Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella is still doing time in federal prison, while the current Sheriff has been arrested multiple times in the last couple of weeks?
I live in southern Ohio. The county is Scioto. Our sheriff's office killed a man in jail and tried to say he fell. The doctor or coroner, I don't recall which right off, asked how many times he fell because he had been beaten in the head so many times.
Because they're police?
Just so you guys know, Lujan was just convicted a month ago and is serving three years for two felony charges and is awaiting trial for the three misdemeanors. It is also noteworthy that his predecessor is also in a federal prison for actions taken during office. Definitely a department worth further investigation
A model of policing everywhere!
Do you live up there? I'm in Burque.
Thanks for the update!
Investigation? By whom? All cops are crooked. Every last one.
Definitely a department worth firing wholesale and starting from scratch. Just another Sheriff department of many rotten to the core. In my State (Connecticut) the Sheriffs and underlings were so rotten the State shut down the whole County Sheriff system. No more Sherrifs, thank God!
Thanks to countless video's like this, "law enforcement", no longer gets the _"automatic benefit of the doubt"._

He will have to be in solitary confinement or he won’t live through the sentence.
@@calvinwilliams-cm8qx yeah the people in there are nuts
So, after ALL of that, he wasn't even fired and resigned???
@adventist9917 the sheriff is a elected official. The process of removing a sheriff varies state to state but usually involves a Governor. But since it is a elected official there is no firing ever..it's either removed from office or resignation
When the Sheriff handed the phone to the Deputy, the Deputy should have turned the phone over to the cops. Every Deputy complicit should be fired.
And charged.
At least 3 of those deputies did things that would get an average citizen arrested on the spot.
@Dog Faced Pony Soldier they were probably sweating bullets from having to serve a warrant to a sheriff of all things.
completely agree
If he’d done that he would have immediately been fired by his sheriff. Imagine if you had that job and were put on the spot like that. Would you risk your job for the greater good?
Absolutely 💯 DESPICABLE ! Letting Him Do ANYTHING WE THE PEOPLE CANT !!!
I saw this video when it was first shared. It's about time that legal action is being taken. These servants are not above the law
Period.
All of the officers who were present and did nothing should all be fired immediately.
"You mean I have to obey the laws too?"
“you mean i aint above the law?”
One thing stands in the way: the sheriff! Not all states or counties have one, but the sheriff, an elected official, is usually known as the highest law enforcer of the county and has law enforcement powers exceeding that of any other state or federal official.Jul 8, 2013
"I am the law"
Bahahahahaha....yeah, 🤣🤦♂️🤣
you wouldn't know a law from an order. your comment proves it.
It’s amazing that he was still allowed to work while under investigation.
That's the power of being an elected official.
Sometimes your just under investigation 🤷♂️ No biggie 🤠
That literally happens every day
Innocent until proven guilty!
It’s unfortunate but sheriffs are elected officials just like politicians they stay in power until they finally are convicted or die.
He got sentenced to three years.
You guys are the best I love your videos true Americans 🇺🇸 keep up the great work God bless
When he's convicted, he should be housed in the general population.
what do you mean when its already happened, he's serving 3 years, somehow with all of his illegal actions.
He should be convicted but if his life is at some point clearly in danger I would pull him from genpop. He’s a piece of shit but that doesn’t warrant possible death.
Dude! I just looked this up. No wonder all the staff were shitting themselves. I think the best way to describe the investigation is "surgical". However, I think a backhoe might have been more appropriate.
@@mikeemmons1079 wait so what happened in the end ?
sounds like he'll know most of them already!
if they’re this corrupt with other police officers, imagine how they are with citizens
No need to imagine anything...its seen all over the states.....😒
Sheriffs are gangs, they have no loyalty to their community, let alone the government, they're organized criminals with uniforms
@@thatonegamer2709 sit in ur chair boy. You dont know shit.
@@doyoumakeittotheclouddistr4132 i live in california...i go through it and been going through it for more than 30years..so yes i think i do know shit.
Seriously. Talk about corrupt.
Wow I am just speechless and shocked smh
So good of the webmaster to post and narrate the meaning of this video.
The Sherriff is a belligerent drunk even when he's sober.
hes perma buzzed
Socialism now that sounds good.
Does a shit bear shit in the woods?
I believe the term is surly.
Like a shitty Jack Sparrow
The level of corruption at this sheriff office is beyond comprehension.
“ did you know that? I didn’t know that. “ lol my man was pissed… probably had a friend in the upper court and thought he was safe
You should see Los Angeles
Most of them are very corrupt. Especially in the south
USA, number 1!!!! LOL
@@TheJimprezEh? Local county elected official, of a county under 200,000 people, is somehow indicative of an entire nation of over 400m people?
The whole department was suspicious
Love that other officer standing there waiting to get hostile...then seeing that they're law enforcement lets out a meek "whats up guy's?"😂😂😂
Can you imagine putting your hands on a cop (like the deputy did at the side door) and NOT getting taken down and arrested for assaulting an officer?
You would be picking up your teeth with broken fingers.
Um, the police had a warrant to recover the phones on the body of the sheriff, they already knew where the phones were, they did not have a warrant to search the deputy, The deputy did nothing wrong.
@@fartpooboxohyeah8611 the deputy is obstructing justice. Did you not listen to the explanation?
That cop immediately looked at his partner like "did you just see that?!?!!"
He's lucky he didn't get tazed and run over. That's what I would expect out of Sherriff Mark Lamb's office1
When you're not acting in a professional manner, you don't deserve "professional courtesy".
Even then it still isn't considered!
This is much more than just “professional courtesy“...
This is flagrant POLICE privilege...
they only need one technicality to negate all of it…
That’s why mistakes are made..
smoker, you are correct. the chief had the necessary documents in his hand. That was enough.
You have to remember he was saying that to an armed sheriff surrounded by armed deputies all acting suspicious. It's called diplomacy.
Remember they treat the public in a not so courteous manner!
"this is all retaliation for telling the City Council you shouldn't be the Sheriff."
😂 Opps.
This was a great piece 👏👏👏
Funny how cops think they're above the law when it applies to them.
They think they are the law.
@ Yep, they probably do but they need to understand they are enforcing the law and not the actual law. A lot of them get that confused.
@Up Your's you should be asking yourself that question. Unless you did not see the sheriff being arrested
@@d.khoung359 on the other hand, if the perp was not a cop they would have been beat to shit, maybe killed and the phones taken immediately.
WoW they must be friends with Hillaryhoo.
This really is the sort of thing FEDs should be handling. Clearly the Sherriff, his deputies, and the City Cops all know each other
That may or may not be the case, but cops don't like going after each other. They probably feel like this guy deserves it or they want to find out if he deserves it, BUT that doesn't mean they want the unwarranted stain of "going after one of their own". I know it's a fictional film, but the movie Copland kind of showcases this toward the end, all of the cops are surprised and angry with what Stallone's character did. Most cops don't like bad cops, but it's the perception their colleagues get of them when they go after them that I think gets in the way.
@@MacguffinsTV So actually this was handled correctly, The chief of police has the highest power over any form of policing uniform.
The Feds are the most corrupt out of all of them lmao
Feds or State Police. Absolutely.
Feds? like the ones covering for Biden's son? LOL
Great report! Thx
That whole department needs to be fired
This is why people need to pay attention to who's running for Sheriff.
The idea of voting for a law enforcement officer baffles me! Any dummy with a bit of charisma could become a sheriff, no matter their qualifications! Like, what the actual fuck?
@ exactly
@ yeah but if you're a backwater cop shop like this one guess who's gonna be the next sheriff if sheriffs aren't voted? hint: the guy who held the sheriff's phones
This is why a law enforcement position should never be an elected office. The US is the only country that does this. It breeds corruption and you can't can't fire them because they are elected. Stupid outdated system that needs to change.
It’s be nice if the local sheriff was investigated, however the entire system in my town is fcked. People are too stupid to see what’s going on. Seriously, I’m not just being a dick, they are that goddamn stupid.
Sheriff eventually got arrested, which happened to be the second time this year. Later, the under-sheriff was also arrested for interfering with service of the warrant.
Good the corrupt sobs.
City Cop be like: "I AM THE LAW" haha loved this corrupt sworn officers are absolutely evil.
@@rawrwithme114 My dad's a sworn officer. Is he evil?
@@emuccino if he's corrupt, absolutely. If not, no not at all. I appreciate his service. It takes a special kind of person to be a sworn officer.
@rs232killer source?
The gestapo arresting the gestapo.😮
They sure are treating this sheriff differently than they do a normal person...
even when they're trying to go after a corrupt cop they still manage to piss me off by fucking that up too.
How to prove you're one of the "good" cops - smoke out the bad ones, hold them responsible, show them you *don't stand for corruption and abuse*
You're right on paper but that's a very elementary way of hows things actually are
@@michaeld4326 lmao... Tf does that even mean? Just admit it the other cops are scared shitless or too lazy to get another career. Because youre almost certain to lose your job if you try to take a fellow cop to court in your native county
@@agecali7893 police officers do it all the time… it’s just that the news and the internet post only bad things about police officers because it gets popular quick.
@@blackdad1333 that's because no one will EVER find out about it if we don't post it. Publicity scares corruption. If cops do a good deed it doesn't need to be public because it's their FUCKEN JOB TO MAKE SURE THINGS ARE GOOD
There are no good cops. If you choose to uphold unjust laws you cannot be “good”
Can we take a second to appreciate that badass lady cop? Stands her ground, tells the Sheriff NO, and doesn't censor herself, use code, or gesture when telling the other cop what happened. Straight up says, "He's been drinking."
And yet she never gave the sheriff a DUI or breathalyzer test. She was weak and did not enforce the law.
@@TwistedMarksman Yeah she ran away straight to "someone higher up than him" so they didn't have to pull out. May make me sound like a sexist, but that's a woman for you. I commend her for being honest, but she ran away to another authority.
LilJbm1 dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Of course she went to an authority figure. What else could she have actually done? What she did was the best thing that could have been done in that situation. She also communicated with another guy and it’s not like he did anything else. Has nothing to do with being a woman. So yeah, you are being sexist. Do you REALIZE how dumb you sound?
Converted Soul easier said than done. You’re weak for not having some perspective. They obviously got shit done in the end ya dumb dumb. You can’t just take down power that easily.
@@LilJbm1 That's what you do tho. when someone doesn't comply and you don't have the authority to make them you go to someone who does.
regular cop going against a sheriff has to go higher or else sheriff will abuse his authority and, in the department's eyes, be justified.
It kills me how people feel like they are above the law!
obviously they do stuff like this all the time... they pretty much are above the law
You should add a part 2 this
the cop actually said, "You can get a search warrant and just get anything you want-just like that??" Like he'd never heard of a search warrant before?? 😂😂😂 WtH??
Something tells me he's never needed one. "Sir, can you step out of your vehicle/home? I think I smell some marijuanas."
In the neighborhood I’m from, a search warrant gives probable cause too crack your 90 year old great grandmother in the head to obtain evidence. So; when we see these dirty cops blatantly ignore a “M-FING SEARCH WARRANT” when we’re all supposed to be equal under the law! Smfh, maybe you can understand why city blocks are left torched
@@brandonsimpson1617 i do not understand why torching city blocks where innocent people who run businesses get the backlash for police brutality, no.
@@bootykraken7177 it’s called rage.
@@brandonsimpson1617 sure bro
These sheriff officers who willingly took his phone should be arrested and charged with obstruction of Justice
exactly, but sadly cop to cop loyalty allows for a certain level of leniency.
@Sam R *Sheriff Deputy’s
We would of been,that's for sure
@@kaikjs2252 Sheriff's Deputies, Mr. Correction.
@@Carpenterjoh65 “Mr, Corrections
Perfect example of people charged with enforcing the law, but having ZERO interpretation, respect, or understanding of the law.
Great reporting!!!
also the deputy that gave the cops the wrong phones should be charge with tampering
He gave the cops the phones that the Sheriff had given him. He should be charged with interfering for not giving them up in the first place, but he was not tampering and did not knowingly give them the wrong phones
The undersheriff was charged. There are videos and articles about it.
@@garlottos You do not know that, also it is apparent that the department as a whole was not willfully complying with a lawful order and warrant to collect evidence in a criminal investigation. In my opinion the department that was serving the warrant did so with not much interest or intention of collecting the proper evidence or they would not have let the suspect ample time to destroy evidence and also they did not complete the orders of the warrant and collect the correct evidence. It's pretty simple they should have arrived in great numbers to show force and not let the Sheriff dictate the terms of the warrant and also they should have collected the proper evidence in the manner the warrant dictated. You nor I would have the opportunity afforded this corrupt official. In order to collect the proper devices tall they had to do was show up call the devices collect the proper phones and leave once the warrant was read to the sheriff.
@@garlottos oh ok thanks for clearing that up detective 🕵️♂️
Yeah get a federal gang involved with this
The Sheriff just went to trial for all of this and the trial ended in a mistrial. Mainly because people on the jury knew him personally. And I know this because i know some of the people that were on the jury. So they're going to have a retrial out of Rio Arriba County. So that doesn't happen again.
Keep us updated
Keep us updated. @ me when you get word so I get a notification. have a nice day :)
what is he actually being accused of? what is with the phones?
.
This entire thing is like a script of a movie.
Really speaks volumes how they treat each other and at the same time confrontational to other officers
First time i watched this i lived in ny, now i watched this living 20 minutes from Espanola and had a chuckle about it.
