There's also the legal doctrine that professionals/experts are held to a higher standard. A court in AZ found that cops are specifically not "experts" in the law, which means they don't have to legally be held to a higher standard.
I have a modicum of sympathy with the idea that a cop cannot know every law and how it may be applied to every possible situation and so they should be allowed to a small extent to take action first and be protected from prosecution later instead of having to stop what they are doing and call in a law professor whilst the suspect hot foots it away. However having said that there should be some general minimum level that the police officer should be determined to ought to know and that cant be protected by immunity
@@ryanbesco8067 no that is not a fair comparison, A lawyer probably has weeks to research a particular law before they present it to the court and even so every day thousands of lawyers lose their argument in court and are told they have the wrong interpretation of law by the court. A police officer has to act instinctively in the moment which is why they should be allowed a small but not great amount of leeway
The pastor watering flowers case is ridiculous, it completely destroys the standard of reasonable suspicion. Anyone (including the homeowner) doing literally anything on private property (walking a dog, getting mail, just sitting outside enjoying the day) could be a criminal "ruse". So the judge effectively ruled that if a caller thinks you just existing on private property is "suspicious", they get to identify you. UPDATE: The 11th circuit court took the case on appeal and revoked the officer's qualified immunity.
It's doubly stupid when you realize that identifying him does NOTHING to confirm/dispel the so-called suspicion. What in their various databases would say, "Oh yeah, the neighbor asked him to water his flowers"?
@@coolraul07 That was my thought exactly. And whatever happened to the Karen who actually had a name in all of this? Isn't that person accountable at all for making a false report? There's nothing suspicious about watering flowers, 'even if' you are black. Sure, there's a different person out there doing the watering, but HE WAS WATERING THE FLOWERS when the Karen called. How is that suspicious? The cops can't even say they "investigated" because they didn't contact the KNOWN caller first, for details.
That's because these cases take so long to resolve in the courts. It could be years before some get resolution. I just saw an update for a 9 year old case that finally got resolved. For example, Junkyard news just posted one with this description: "Judge Slams Cops In Court Ruling: Rochester police officers abused man during 2015 arrest ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A federal judge ruled that Rochester police officers were unreasonably abusive..." 2015 and just now resolved by courts. It's not the content creators fault that years are required for resolution. Just sayin'
@9:22 re: Pastor Jennings watering flowers: Update to the update: On 9/27/2024, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the District Court ruling against Rev. Jennings, and remanded the case for trial. The appeals court basically found that while Alabama law lets police with reasonable suspicion ask for a person's name, address, and explanation of his actions-all of which the pastor gave -- they can't demand a physical ID.
The lady who made the call told them she made a mistake, identified him, and told them he was friends with the people out of town and had permission to be there, and they still were discussing what to charge him with
Even beyond that, a third party calling about trespass on property they don't own shouldn't qualify as reasonable suspicion. I know my neighbors, they know me, but they damn well don't know me well enough to know who u would have watch over my place while I'm out of town.
If your average citizen left their vehicle in the tracks and someone got hurt I gaurantee they'd be prosecuted for attempted mansalughter but 🐷 get probation??? That's absolutely ridiculous.
@@MrIdasam At the time of that case Qualified Immunity for all law enforcement in Colorado was abolished so there is nothing protecting the officers now from future prosecution.
A person with disabilities using a mobility scooter on a sidewalk is no different than able bodied person walking down the sidewalk. The fact the cops felt the need to intervene is just crazy. They are clearly bullies and should not be cops.
I ride my scooter on the sidewalk almost exclusively. There has NEVER been a problem, and most pedestrians give me a high sign, and step aside to let me pass. Riding in the streets where I live would be su!c!de.
Tbh i'm kinda with the cops on this one. If you really believe they care about public safety, then you should believe drinking inhibits your motor control and your control over your scooter. There's such a thing as being drunk in public, in which case the police do take you into custody for your and the public's safety. And, in which case, she was actually fleeing from the police officers (if she left while detained, sorry i don't remember the video. if they let her go and then chased her, then I agree that's egregious)
I used to work at the VA purchasing mobility scooters. This is crazy to me. We would deny repairs because people road them on the road, messing them up. They dont belong there.
I just made a comment saying how I have never seen anyone on a mobility scooter wearing a helmet. Is that actually a law? Hell of a lot of people breaking the law in that case
I hate to say it and I know I’m going to get whacked in replies for doing so, but that whole instance is just a classic case of a black man being punished for going about his business in the state of Alabama. The courts are no less prejudiced than the police. It happens more than people realize in this state.
I was told once by a defense lawyer that the judge that presides over the city; was hired by the mayor, and thus will protect and believe the cops. Unless there is overwhelming evidence of egregious behavior; by the police, violating a citizens rights. The whole system is flat out corrupt! Not even money (Hiring a lawyer) can guarantee your rights will be protected!
I have seen countless corrupt police interactions. Trying to steal someone's mobility scooter for not wearing a helmet while operating it, then chasing her home after trying to arrest her and calling it a pursuit then charging her with attempt to elude is the most corrupt thing ever ever seen in my life. I cant even...
And the Alabama judge is a disgrace. So, if I am at Wal Mart, and I pick out a random person, call the police and say my name and their description and say I believe they are trespassing, this judge thinks that gives the cops the right to ID them? If I was pastor Jennings, I would 100% appeal this judges decision as he is a legal moron
And if I remember rightly, didn't the lady caller come to the scene and tell the officers that she did recognise pastor Jennings and that he was friends with the home owners, and was likely watering their plants for them.
8 million for the train is nowhere near enough. The family who got stopped at Starbucks who were detained for 20 mins got 8 million. That girls body was shattered and I’m sure she has life long PTSD
@@user-x4u6lThere’s gotta be a list of things you can’t do while black in the U.S. and now someone has to add watering the neighbours plants to the list 😂😢
I have to say @AuditTheAudit is most definately one of the most professional precised channels online with their vidoes especially giving us the historical results to most cases showing us the finish line taking away the what happened after that? effects not being in limbo...
I am an EMT and if I had to respond for a patient struck by a train because an OFFICER JUST LEFT HER THERE like a fucking cartoon villain, I’d have raised hell after I got her to the hospital. My god, that’s so far beyond negligence. It’s common sense to not park on railroad tracks.
While the narrator of the channel (commonly referred to as "Audit the Audit") gets and A+ for not only bringing to light both "the good and bad of police interactions", but for doing it in a calm, collected, and knowledgeable manner. I look forward to seeing more from Audit the Audit in the near future. 👍🏾😋
I like the updates format. A lot of these videos ramp people up and make them angry but there's never a resolution. People want to know that Justice is actually done. It is ridiculous how long that takes.
It's a problem that cops get a call and decide to initiate contact with someone not suspected of any crime. It's straightforward, a karen calls, the dispatcher asks what the person is doing, and if it's nothing then they should advise the caller that until a crime has occurred there is no reason to send anyone. If the police show up regardless they should observe from a distance.
It doesn’t even making sense considering in the bodycam footage, he’s already watering the flowers as they approach. Add water hoses to the list, alongside with acorns and pots of water.
In the bodycam a bunch of water already on the ground and flowers is visible. For him to be watering as a ruse, he would've had to pick up the hose minutes before the officer arrived. Which makes the ruse possibility exponentially more unlikely.
Wow I’m mad that they dropped Pastor Jenning’s case, as no one would be suspicious of a guy watering his neighbors flowers. He was visible in broad daylight, not being suspicious at all.
@@TCR2025 I hate judges who clearly have a bias and will make up shit to justify a dumb ruling. Reminds me of the judge in the classified documents case, which was open and shut but the judge threw it out so she could get into Trump's good graces.
Apparently, this was another case of police invoking the "we got a call Doctrine." I've never found it in any Constitution I've looked at, but apparently in all law enforcement versions of the Constitution there's a clause at the end of the Bill of Rights that says all these rights are null and void if "we got a call".
$300k for a lady on a scooter was hilarious! Good for Her ! My dad rides all over his little town on his scooter. Cops just wave. They come by and check on him. That's a real police officer!
I thought of how interesting the dichotomy of that incident and the Tyreek Hill incident. The officers were being virtually perfectly professional with the scooter lady, it was almost like the cops were actors fora completely wrong reason and the Tyreek cops were so unbelievably unprofessional for the right reasons. I hope they re-worded the statute in Oregon. When I first saw that video I was screaming at the cops, “You can’t honestly be this stupid! That law is for Vespas!” 😂
Same I play pool with someone who rides a scooter drives all over the sidewalk also no helmet. Not once my towns cops ever stop him (atleast I don't think) but he rides without a helmet so I think he hasn't. Like where do you expect them to drive on, the main road? On a scooter that probably only does 10mph. Sidewalks were built for people to stay off the main road in slower moving vehicles walking,bikes and scooters. Silly to think she wasn't allowed to drive on the sidewalk...
"they come by and check on him" is not cool, that's intrusive as fuck. cops should be doing their job, not harassing civilians. in any other 1st world country, if cops approach you is because you are commiting a crime, or they have a strong suspicion you are performing one
@@user-zk5jn4br7u It's insane that people like you actually argue that cops should just be another criminal gang. With your logic, we can just abolish the police and give half of their budget to the crips instead, save the taxpayers some money
Regarding the attorneys arrested for not allowing the deputies to search their briefcase for their client's phone: The deputies were given Qualified Immunity because "their error did not violate clearly established law?" I am a regular citizen and I understand that it is clearly established that you can't search in areas outside of what is in a search warrant. Ridiculous.
I can't really fault them for that, they had the DA on the phone. It would be really hard to prove that they knowingly broke laws when a literal lawyer is on the phone telling them everything is legal. That said, the DA should be fired at minimum and should be held liable for everything that happened imo. Absolutely inexcusable for a legal professional to be THAT ignorant of the law.
That's their game. Even when you are innocent you have to hire lawyers, take time off from work, get bail, pay for impounded cars. Being innocent can get very expensive.
And even if you’re innocent odds are “your lawyer” will tell you to take a plea. They’ll even lie to you and tell you an Alford plea isn’t admitting guilt.
Revisiting past videos is a great idea! Looking forward to more of this series! Edit: The Pastor Jennings case blows my mind. Based on this Judge's ruling, if I'm outside mowing my lawn, I may be a criminal perpetrating a ruse there for I'm required to surrender my identification.
On the pastor Jennings case, even had he been trespassing on that property, without the property owners asking for him to leave, and then him refusing to leave, there was no probable cause. This is one of those things police routinely abused their Authority on. Acting as though they have all the rights of ownership of every property in the world and can trespass somebody from private property without the property owners knowledge and consent.
This is good for the "don't share until there are lawsuit updates" crowd. The channel would only be able to post every few years for many of these, especially ones still waiting for a higher court.
The pastor needs to appeal his case. "Obstruction" is a secondary charge, so the district court is giving an inexplicable "dual ruling" saying "I rule he broke no law and obviously didn't obstruct. He is charged for not giving officers his ID." Which again even in "stop and ID states" is a secondary charge, thus officers were never entitled to the pastor's ID to begin with. This is the district court judge "kicking the can down the road" to federal court to get out of having to do anything legally. In federal court this district court ruling actually helps the pastor.
**The process is the punishment.** Going to jail for hours or days, having your car towed, getting bail, having to go to court, all to just have the charges dropped months or years later.
@@zavven nobody.... It's why so many innocent people plead out. The financial stress, or stress on your life, friends & family, health. It's why people are arrested and then the charges are dropped right away or months later. They know the charges are BS but you still sit in jail and alter your life, while nothing happens to the cop 99% of the time.
@@AuditTheAudityes!! We need to focus on how the arrest and processing itself is the punishment. Please also focus on how the police can weaponize this and how outcomes aren’t the concern of the police….but rather how your massive inconvenience and hiring a lawyer etc IS the point.
She accepted 8.5 million. At trial she may have got much more but the process would have been years long. If she accepted, it means she is happy with the outcome, so we should be happy too
Especially considering the hospital bills and lifelong medical complications she could have going forward. Thankfully the incident went super viral or they may have tried to hush it all up.
A guy in California got 20 million for the cops slamming him while arm barred. They paralyzed him. Legs down. If she is in the same situation, she got shortchanged by half. Of course, the woman who claimed Trump defamed her sued for 2 million and got $83.3 million, so...
I once binged a lot of your videos but then slowly stopped watching them... One reason was because I got angry at some of the people in the videos too often and the other reason was, that a lot of videos were open ended and it felt like we'll never actually know what happened. Loved that video, which updated a lot of stories I remembered :D
You can type in "Updates on Pastor Jennings" on Google or other keywords and see what comes up. BTW..He won his Appeal and can move forward with his lawsuit.
I think what's even crazier about the pastor Jennings case is the caller even told the cops she made a mistake and identified him and they still arrested him.
Because they don't care about being right. They just want to make an arrest. That's why when they find out someone is innocent they try to find other charges on them to justify the arrest.
@@allanjacobs5342It has more to do with "contempt of cop" than racism. Cops don't like when you don't bow to them. Now the caller is probably racist for calling 911 on a black man water flowers but the cops are just being tyrants like they do to anyone else.
Wow, probation for leaving a handcuffed woman trapped on active train tracks? If a civilian did that, they'd get hard time. We should be holding them to a higher standard, even for criminal negligence.
17:00 ... Mobility scooters are meant for use _indoors_ as well as outside, and are explicitly unable to reach the speeds expected of a road- even in a residential zone... What were those cops smoking to think that it needed to be on a road? That's just braindead.
The pastor situation has me seething 😡. That is one extremely corrupt judge. Also what the fuck kind of people on the jury would find the disabled woman guilty???
@@coolraul07I don't think that's the answer here so much as a reform to the prosecutors incentive structure. Elected prosecutors fighting to be the "tougher on crime" and " friend to the police" is what is leading to these cases going to trial in the first place. The jury should stick to its role as the arbiter of guilt or innocence, not disagreeing with the premise of cases at all.
@@puthenveetilnoel Do you realize that that's why jury nullification is even still a thing? It serves as a "check" (albeit a grossly unadvertised and underutilized one) against overzealous DAs and lawmakers who are more concerned with their "records and the status quo than actual justice being served.
You should DEFINITELY do more follow-up videos. I've watched quite literally every single video you've posted (which has contributed to a large majority of my law knowledge). Seeing updates/resolutions to things I've seen is fantastic. I'll be really looking forward to more of these b/c it's great to see what happened next. You produce 10/10 content, ATA. Don't stop.
Maybe we should have the "motor vehicle" vs. personal transport discussion nationwide. Then maybe we could be free of this BS crushing oppression just to go from point A to point B.
especially since it is a report of misdemeanor committed outside of their presence. If a person calls and reports a felony, then RAS can be established by the call. Imagine you call and say this man just beat my son to a pulp and now he's over there watering flowers. They are willing to swear to it, so the now the police have RAS even if the caller is totally lying. The cops can't know that and they can't risk the guy just leaving without knowing who he is, given the severity of the crime. But "potential" trespassing? No way.
I once got called on for trespassing the roof of a public library late at night with a friend I didn't have my ID on me and they ended to letting me go. I was like "what am I gonna do? Steal books or outdated macs?" It was like 6-8 officers 😂 even though I was living in a very crime ridden city. My friend got his girlfriend pregnant and fired from his job so I offered to take him to the place I often go when I wanna get away and just think. I wasn't even trespassed I was just told don't do it again 😂
Because Qualified Immunity and Police unions exist. Remove those and cops will suddenly do their jobs right... the ones that stay at least. Most if not all will resign and likely do everything they can to mess with any replacements.
Election is comming up.... why is this not an issue they talk about. It is a waste of money, violating peoples rights and taking peoples fredom. What will the two candidates do on this?
On 10/1/24 an appellate court overturned the lower courts decision that that the cops were protected under qualified immunity and could not be prosecuted. "A federal judge is allowing a lawsuit to go forward against the Alabama cops who arrested a pastor as he was watering his neighbor's flowers." I hope he wins!!!
@@d.okeziemy dad today said all the blacks are lazy and the Mexicans need to leave. You sure you can speak for everyone that racist people are thing of the past?
You can only charge Pastor Jennings with trespassing if the property owner makes a complaint or asks him to leave the property... not a neighbor or the police
It depends on the state and conditions of trespass. If the person cannot clearly define that they have a right to be there and the police cannot confirm it, they can be charged in some states. Each state defines trespass differently. Besides he was was charged with obstruction, not trespass.
With regards to the pastor being arrested for "watering his neighbor's flowers/yard" again an " a phone tip call to police" shall not be the "only evidence needed" to make an arrest. It has to be substantiated by more and BETTER evidence. This requires police doing some Jr. high school level of investigation. Short of this, the caller and police should be subject to "false arrest" "filing false reports" and loss of "qualified immunity" for the police, as the pastor was on private land, and an "authorized agent of the property" thus engaged in legal activity, and watering his friends/neighbor's lawn during the day. He did not run, act "suspicious" or was engaged in any unlawful activity in front of police. He was merely black. "Time, place, manner" should also applies to police.
Jennings should win his appeal. Standing on someone’s property isn’t trespassing unless the property owner has specifically said that you’re not allowed to be on said property. The caller doesn’t know who is or isn’t authorized to be there. Also, Jennings DID identify himself. He told them his last name and pointed at his house.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality of content released by ATA? I subscribe to over 100 channels, and ATA is the only channel that I regularly watch EVERY upload.
Similar here, but I also add the following to my "all notifications, must watch immediately" list: Lackluster, The Civil Rights Lawyer, and Long Island Audit.
When an Oregon police dept is using multiple officers to conduct a seizure of a handicapped woman - because she was riding her Rascal scooter on an empty sidewalk- they are proving to the taxpayers of that community that the PD is OVER-funded!!!
I have watched almost every one of the covered interactions and am very pleased to hear from them again. I really hope these follow-up episodes will always make it into my suggestions.
Keep the updates coming it is so interesting. Thanks for what you do. I have learned so much in about one month of listening to your videos. You are a PRO!!
The "scooter" case is a perfect example of the need to for LEOs to not only receive proper training that includes instruction to exercise sane, common sense, and to not be authoritarian maniacs, but to also not have brain damage when given a badge and gun.
i forgot about that case until he brought it up and honestly it's just one of the most dumbfounding things i have ever heard. not for a single second either of the police officers thought "would i drive a mobility scooter on the road when it's pitch black outside?" or y'know think at all because they're obviously so braindead they need to be put in an asylum or nursing home. im assuming them getting their clothes on every day is living proof there's a god because it is an absolute miracle their pea brains can even muster moving their arms through a couple of holes.
imagine a world where 2 fully grown, fully built armed men who have the power of the law on their side, essentially bullying a disabled 48 year old woman. "yeah can't be riding like that, gotta walk home with your diability" Ludacris. Oh yeah walk home and leave behind your essential transportation device which likely costs a few thousand dollars.
The biggest problem is that they should inherently have that common sense, but too many are not bothered to check before they start working with the public!
look the only reason they rate police at all is because how much people flip out.... this channel is for auditing AUDITORS. hence the name.... audit the audit. because accountability is a big thing for BOTH SIDES. and us civilians way to often ignore the straight up criminal behavior SOME auditors have. and it makes us all look bad. there are specific laws and often auditors have a rought understanding of them with no understanding of the small exceptions to them and get them selves justly arrested. i agree some of these laws are bullshit but that ALSO helps us. people in that state can find out that is a law and protest THAT SPECIFIC LAW. asking for it to be changed.... but ultimately as it stands those are the laws we're all supposed to follow. far to often are we completely ignorant of all the laws that dictate our lives...
This is the kind of video I always want with the cases that end unresolved. I'm happy to see a positive outcome to these interactions and hope these videos keep coming.
I used to live in the Denver area, and had relatives in Platteville, Colorado, so, I know the area well. The stupidity of these officers in leaving their suspect in the back of a patrol vehicle on a set of railroad tracks, is unconscionable. I am so glad this was resolved favorably to the victim and that the officers involved, no longer work for these police forces.
I'd loved this episode of audit the audit. I was listening to RUclips while taking a shower and the video I was watching ended. Then this one came on. I realized I had watched it before but rather than yelling out hey Google I listened to it a second time. It felt so good to hear that these people finally received some justice that I listened to the entire thing a second time and still had an emotional response from it. It's sickens me that it takes this much in order to hold our government officials accountable, but it's still better to see some accountability rather than what we're used to which is none. Keep up the great work You're one of the best channels there are out on RUclips. Loyal subscriber like and share.
Especially with the explosion of Karen’s over the past few years. I talked to a person online that said he loved to go for walks and call the cops for anything he saw like people drying their swim shorts on their balcony. It seems to be a way for them to feel powerful.
Please keep this type of video coming. Your videos are great but updates like this later are a nice addition and are great for reflecting back on incidents we’ve seen. Also it gives us a good impression of the legal system that follows the interaction and the outcomes and length of process etc. Thanks
The incident with the mobility scooter is simply mind boggling. It takes a special kind of monster to endanger another person by forcing her to ride a 5 mph scooter on the road and then to require her to wear a helmet, as if that makes her safer.
@@rjstegbauer Ah yes, that customer who was very clearly mentally disabled and neither Target nor police personnel showed any empathy to help him buy his bicycle? How do these people even function in a society?
I had to use a mobility scooter for a while, and it's really dangerous to ride in the street, especially at night. Add to that there were piles of snow on the ground hiding obstacles, sharp items, potholes, and areas deeper than the floorboard of the scooter. Those cops truly were insensitive assholes for treating her that way. If she's using a scooter, she's got enough physical and personal problems to deal with already.
I really appreciate having these updates. Police accountability isn't just about recognition of their wrongdoing, but also about how the system does and does not hold them accountable, so it's important to see how these cases come out.
Love the updates. I see lots of videos of old police encounters reposted on RUclips with no context or information about what the end result was. I believe it’s very important to know how misguided departments, attorneys and judges have gone to justify their actions and what the end results were.
The Pastor Jennings case is really disturbing. Innocent people have no defense against "We got a call." That ruling means that innocent people have to stop what they're doing and submit to being treated like a criminal, just because someone called police, identified themselves, and said that "there are people on my neighbor's property doing something, and I don't know who they are." And it also means that officers can unreasonably escalate to an arrest if the innocent person doesn't prostrate themselves enough and fast enough for the officers' egos - even though the officers witnessed no unlawful activity and the innocent person's explanation is completely reasonable and consistent with lawful and even normal behavior - and there's no valid evidence which suggests that they engaged in any unlawful activity or were preparing to engage in unlawful activity. Unsubstantiated suspicion is enough. We keep putting or allowing people who aren't like regular Americans, who don't live lives like regular Americans, and who don't have the problems of regular Americans in high positions in our governments - and then we complain when they act against the interests of regular Americans.
And the judge's reasoning echoed what we've seen from some posters on police encounter videos. The mere possibility that someone could be a criminal is used to justify officers' behavior. No one can be an innocent person, just lawfully going about their day. An elderly or middle-aged neighbor doing a favor (watering plants - outside) at the request of the property owners could be a "clever criminal" who picked up a hose and started watering plants to try to trick the officers into thinking that he wasn't a criminal (of some unspecified sort, with no evidence to support any suspicion of any particular unlawful activity). And those comments from posters come up more often when the "possible criminal" has a certain ethnicity. But this judge's ruling applies to all ethnic groups, even if the ruling was influenced by the ethnicity of Pastor Jennings. So, you folks with a certain bias are harmed by this ruling, too.
It's because this country is already transitioned into a socialist country. You don't have any constitutional rights and I think that's becoming very blatantly obvious.
@@loki2240well reasoned and well stated. Hope the lawyers make similar arguments because the judge's reasoning is patently absurd. Unfortunately it seems some US judges don't consider the wider ramifications and implications of their rulings
Makes me think the person making the call had an ax to grind with the Pastor. Who in their right mind, watching him, would think he was up to no good? and then the cops not mature enough to see nothing is wrong. complete stupidity all around.
@@kimbucha2949 - I don't know if she called maliciously or not. But she claimed that she saw multiple people, when it was just the Pastor. And when the police arrived, she eventually said that she knew who he was, that he was a neighbor, and that he could've been water the plants for their neighbors who were out of town. But the police decided to arrest him anyway.
A lot of these people are forgotten about after the initial videos covering their interactions with police, so it is nice seeing an update about everyone who did, or unfortunately in some cases, didn’t get their due.
I'm happy you're doing these update episodes. One of the most infuriating parts of many of these cases is never getting a resolution, and understanding how they end. Given how long the court cases can take, its understandable we don't see a resolution for years after they occur, but often times when they resolve its barely a blip on most news sites radar if they publish anything at all.

The pastor watering flowers case is ridiculous, it completely destroys the standard of reasonable suspicion. Anyone (including the homeowner) doing literally anything on private property (walking a dog, getting mail, just sitting outside enjoying the day) could be a criminal "ruse".
So the judge effectively ruled that if a caller thinks you just existing on private property is "suspicious", they get to identify you.
UPDATE: The 11th circuit court took the case on appeal and revoked the officer's qualified immunity.
It's doubly stupid when you realize that identifying him does NOTHING to confirm/dispel the so-called suspicion. What in their various databases would say, "Oh yeah, the neighbor asked him to water his flowers"?
@@coolraul07 That was my thought exactly. And whatever happened to the Karen who actually had a name in all of this? Isn't that person accountable at all for making a false report? There's nothing suspicious about watering flowers, 'even if' you are black. Sure, there's a different person out there doing the watering, but HE WAS WATERING THE FLOWERS when the Karen called. How is that suspicious? The cops can't even say they "investigated" because they didn't contact the KNOWN caller first, for details.
What if he was the owner of the property...!??
This ruling also flips the script on presumed innocence and is in itself a travesty of justice.

That's because these cases take so long to resolve in the courts. It could be years before some get resolution. I just saw an update for a 9 year old case that finally got resolved. For example, Junkyard news just posted one with this description:
"Judge Slams Cops In Court Ruling: Rochester police officers abused man during 2015 arrest ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A federal judge ruled that Rochester police officers were unreasonably abusive..."
2015 and just now resolved by courts. It's not the content creators fault that years are required for resolution. Just sayin'

@9:22 re: Pastor Jennings watering flowers: Update to the update: On 9/27/2024, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the District Court ruling against Rev. Jennings, and remanded the case for trial. The appeals court basically found that while Alabama law lets police with reasonable suspicion ask for a person's name, address, and explanation of his actions-all of which the pastor gave -- they can't demand a physical ID.
Sounds like the district judge doesn’t know what they are doing
The lady who made the call told them she made a mistake, identified him, and told them he was friends with the people out of town and had permission to be there, and they still were discussing what to charge him with
Even beyond that, a third party calling about trespass on property they don't own shouldn't qualify as reasonable suspicion. I know my neighbors, they know me, but they damn well don't know me well enough to know who u would have watch over my place while I'm out of town.
The cops that put the girl on the train tracks should be in prison for life.
They investigated themselves and found no wrong doing. Qualified immunity and all.
If your average citizen left their vehicle in the tracks and someone got hurt I gaurantee they'd be prosecuted for attempted mansalughter but 🐷 get probation??? That's absolutely ridiculous.
No, in the ground.
Prison doesn't work. The law says they should be given the same injuries as she received, besides compensation.
@@MrIdasam At the time of that case Qualified Immunity for all law enforcement in Colorado was abolished so there is nothing protecting the officers now from future prosecution.
A person with disabilities using a mobility scooter on a sidewalk is no different than able bodied person walking down the sidewalk. The fact the cops felt the need to intervene is just crazy. They are clearly bullies and should not be cops.
I ride my scooter on the sidewalk almost exclusively. There has NEVER been a problem, and most pedestrians give me a high sign, and step aside to let me pass. Riding in the streets where I live would be su!c!de.
Tbh i'm kinda with the cops on this one. If you really believe they care about public safety, then you should believe drinking inhibits your motor control and your control over your scooter. There's such a thing as being drunk in public, in which case the police do take you into custody for your and the public's safety. And, in which case, she was actually fleeing from the police officers (if she left while detained, sorry i don't remember the video. if they let her go and then chased her, then I agree that's egregious)
I used to work at the VA purchasing mobility scooters. This is crazy to me. We would deny repairs because people road them on the road, messing them up. They dont belong there.
@@Polyphemus47they aren’t street legal, that’s an insane situation
I just made a comment saying how I have never seen anyone on a mobility scooter wearing a helmet. Is that actually a law? Hell of a lot of people breaking the law in that case
The problem is also these corrupt judges. The pastor and the disabled lady deserve much better but got punished for nothing.
I agree 💯
I bet the judge was white
Police are bad enough ..let alone the horrible judges.
I hate to say it and I know I’m going to get whacked in replies for doing so, but that whole instance is just a classic case of a black man being punished for going about his business in the state of Alabama. The courts are no less prejudiced than the police. It happens more than people realize in this state.
I was told once by a defense lawyer that the judge that presides over the city; was hired by the mayor, and thus will protect and believe the cops.
Unless there is overwhelming evidence of egregious behavior; by the police, violating a citizens rights.
The whole system is flat out corrupt! Not even money (Hiring a lawyer) can guarantee your rights will be protected!
I have seen countless corrupt police interactions. Trying to steal someone's mobility scooter for not wearing a helmet while operating it, then chasing her home after trying to arrest her and calling it a pursuit then charging her with attempt to elude is the most corrupt thing ever ever seen in my life. I cant even...
And the Alabama judge is a disgrace. So, if I am at Wal Mart, and I pick out a random person, call the police and say my name and their description and say I believe they are trespassing, this judge thinks that gives the cops the right to ID them? If I was pastor Jennings, I would 100% appeal this judges decision as he is a legal moron
And if I remember rightly, didn't the lady caller come to the scene and tell the officers that she did recognise pastor Jennings and that he was friends with the home owners, and was likely watering their plants for them.
@@CyberCurtainTwitcheryes that shit for brains neighbor who called kind of admitted she did not realize it was the pastor .. or some such bullshit

"a suspicious man menacingly watering the lilacs or whatever" killed me :D
"He's just standing there...MENACINGLY!"
Ergo, a black man is watering the lilacs and I think he may be a criminal.
HE WAS WATERING THE PLANTS WITH INTENT!
It's a problem that cops get a call and decide to initiate contact with someone not suspected of any crime. It's straightforward, a karen calls, the dispatcher asks what the person is doing, and if it's nothing then they should advise the caller that until a crime has occurred there is no reason to send anyone. If the police show up regardless they should observe from a distance.
😂, the lilacs
"He could easily have picked up the hose as a ruse" Okay but *_how likely is that compared to the explanation that he's there to water flowers?!_*
Occam’s razor should be taught it school…
Plus, Innocent until proven guilty. The judge was looking at it from the wrong way. That ALONE should be grounds for immediate reversal on appeal.
I hope they file a complaint too against hat judge. @@TheKyfe
It doesn’t even making sense considering in the bodycam footage, he’s already watering the flowers as they approach. Add water hoses to the list, alongside with acorns and pots of water.
In the bodycam a bunch of water already on the ground and flowers is visible. For him to be watering as a ruse, he would've had to pick up the hose minutes before the officer arrived. Which makes the ruse possibility exponentially more unlikely.
Wow I’m mad that they dropped Pastor Jenning’s case, as no one would be suspicious of a guy watering his neighbors flowers. He was visible in broad daylight, not being suspicious at all.
Unless they're racist ofc
It was an Alabama judge. Unfortunately, Jenning’s chances of winning were quite low.

@@TCR2025 I hate judges who clearly have a bias and will make up shit to justify a dumb ruling. Reminds me of the judge in the classified documents case, which was open and shut but the judge threw it out so she could get into Trump's good graces.
Apparently, this was another case of police invoking the "we got a call Doctrine." I've never found it in any Constitution I've looked at, but apparently in all law enforcement versions of the Constitution there's a clause at the end of the Bill of Rights that says all these rights are null and void if "we got a call".
Every episode you guys talk about fairness in court and how things should be handled ... it never goes that way - entire system is corrupt
$300k for a lady on a scooter was hilarious! Good for Her ! My dad rides all over his little town on his scooter. Cops just wave. They come by and check on him. That's a real police officer!
I thought of how interesting the dichotomy of that incident and the Tyreek Hill incident. The officers were being virtually perfectly professional with the scooter lady, it was almost like the cops were actors fora completely wrong reason and the Tyreek cops were so unbelievably unprofessional for the right reasons.
I hope they re-worded the statute in Oregon. When I first saw that video I was screaming at the cops, “You can’t honestly be this stupid! That law is for Vespas!” 😂
Same I play pool with someone who rides a scooter drives all over the sidewalk also no helmet. Not once my towns cops ever stop him (atleast I don't think) but he rides without a helmet so I think he hasn't. Like where do you expect them to drive on, the main road? On a scooter that probably only does 10mph. Sidewalks were built for people to stay off the main road in slower moving vehicles walking,bikes and scooters. Silly to think she wasn't allowed to drive on the sidewalk...
"they come by and check on him" is not cool, that's intrusive as fuck. cops should be doing their job, not harassing civilians. in any other 1st world country, if cops approach you is because you are commiting a crime, or they have a strong suspicion you are performing one

That's their game. Even when you are innocent you have to hire lawyers, take time off from work, get bail, pay for impounded cars. Being innocent can get very expensive.
When you’re in court between the cops, judges and lawyers you’re the only one not being paid to be there.
And even if you’re innocent odds are “your lawyer” will tell you to take a plea. They’ll even lie to you and tell you an Alford plea isn’t admitting guilt.

@@BeardyBaldyBobLet’s hope so.
On the pastor Jennings case, even had he been trespassing on that property, without the property owners asking for him to leave, and then him refusing to leave, there was no probable cause. This is one of those things police routinely abused their Authority on. Acting as though they have all the rights of ownership of every property in the world and can trespass somebody from private property without the property owners knowledge and consent.

This is good for the "don't share until there are lawsuit updates" crowd. The channel would only be able to post every few years for many of these, especially ones still waiting for a higher court.
Thanks!
The pastor needs to appeal his case. "Obstruction" is a secondary charge, so the district court is giving an inexplicable "dual ruling" saying "I rule he broke no law and obviously didn't obstruct. He is charged for not giving officers his ID." Which again even in "stop and ID states" is a secondary charge, thus officers were never entitled to the pastor's ID to begin with. This is the district court judge "kicking the can down the road" to federal court to get out of having to do anything legally. In federal court this district court ruling actually helps the pastor.

Good ole Bama living to it's history of racism
At that point it was too late and he was in clear violation of the most dangerous crime of them all - contempt of cop.
Because they don't care about being right. They just want to make an arrest. That's why when they find out someone is innocent they try to find other charges on them to justify the arrest.
@@allanjacobs5342It has more to do with "contempt of cop" than racism. Cops don't like when you don't bow to them. Now the caller is probably racist for calling 911 on a black man water flowers but the cops are just being tyrants like they do to anyone else.

It depends on the state and conditions of trespass. If the person cannot clearly define that they have a right to be there and the police cannot confirm it, they can be charged in some states. Each state defines trespass differently. Besides he was was charged with obstruction, not trespass.

With regards to the pastor being arrested for "watering his neighbor's flowers/yard" again an " a phone tip call to police" shall not be the "only evidence needed" to make an arrest. It has to be substantiated by more and BETTER evidence. This requires police doing some Jr. high school level of investigation. Short of this, the caller and police should be subject to "false arrest" "filing false reports" and loss of "qualified immunity" for the police, as the pastor was on private land, and an "authorized agent of the property" thus engaged in legal activity, and watering his friends/neighbor's lawn during the day. He did not run, act "suspicious" or was engaged in any unlawful activity in front of police. He was merely black. "Time, place, manner" should also applies to police.
One hundred percent agree. Best comment!
If I was on the jury, I'd be educating the room on 'jury nullification.'
And the lady who called the police told them she had made a mistake and knew who he was. It was a total ego thing for the Cops.
Jennings should win his appeal. Standing on someone’s property isn’t trespassing unless the property owner has specifically said that you’re not allowed to be on said property. The caller doesn’t know who is or isn’t authorized to be there. Also, Jennings DID identify himself. He told them his last name and pointed at his house.

The "scooter" case is a perfect example of the need to for LEOs to not only receive proper training that includes instruction to exercise sane, common sense, and to not be authoritarian maniacs, but to also not have brain damage when given a badge and gun.
i forgot about that case until he brought it up and honestly it's just one of the most dumbfounding things i have ever heard. not for a single second either of the police officers thought "would i drive a mobility scooter on the road when it's pitch black outside?" or y'know think at all because they're obviously so braindead they need to be put in an asylum or nursing home. im assuming them getting their clothes on every day is living proof there's a god because it is an absolute miracle their pea brains can even muster moving their arms through a couple of holes.
imagine a world where 2 fully grown, fully built armed men who have the power of the law on their side, essentially bullying a disabled 48 year old woman. "yeah can't be riding like that, gotta walk home with your diability" Ludacris.
Oh yeah walk home and leave behind your essential transportation device which likely costs a few thousand dollars.
The biggest problem is that they should inherently have that common sense, but too many are not bothered to check before they start working with the public!
The pastor Jennings case makes me so mad. He started off by dispelling any suspicion, stating his name and that he was just watering flowers
Imagine being judge and think that someone would unlawfully wander around just to water peoples flowers.
Local judges are always in cahoots with local law enforcement.
Their rulings are constantly overturned in appeal.
My only issue with "AtA" is they should ALWAYS state the Judge's name and ALWAYS state the DA's name. It's the first step to holding them accountable.
look the only reason they rate police at all is because how much people flip out.... this channel is for auditing AUDITORS. hence the name.... audit the audit. because accountability is a big thing for BOTH SIDES. and us civilians way to often ignore the straight up criminal behavior SOME auditors have. and it makes us all look bad. there are specific laws and often auditors have a rought understanding of them with no understanding of the small exceptions to them and get them selves justly arrested. i agree some of these laws are bullshit but that ALSO helps us. people in that state can find out that is a law and protest THAT SPECIFIC LAW. asking for it to be changed.... but ultimately as it stands those are the laws we're all supposed to follow. far to often are we completely ignorant of all the laws that dictate our lives...
Word.
Definitely
In the pastors case, it should be noted that unless police had notice from the property owner, trespassing can't even exist.
This is the kind of video I always want with the cases that end unresolved. I'm happy to see a positive outcome to these interactions and hope these videos keep coming.

That judge did NOT honor his oath of office. He should be disbarred and permanently disqualified from EVER holding a public office again.
I used to live in the Denver area, and had relatives in Platteville, Colorado, so, I know the area well. The stupidity of these officers in leaving their suspect in the back of a patrol vehicle on a set of railroad tracks, is unconscionable. I am so glad this was resolved favorably to the victim and that the officers involved, no longer work for these police forces.
I see so many of these videos from Colorado. I love the state but what is with the police there?
Yeah, but might they have been hired in another police force? that would be useful to know?
"Menacingly watering the lilacs" LOL! I'll be on the lookout for ruffians like that in the future.
I'd loved this episode of audit the audit. I was listening to RUclips while taking a shower and the video I was watching ended. Then this one came on. I realized I had watched it before but rather than yelling out hey Google I listened to it a second time. It felt so good to hear that these people finally received some justice that I listened to the entire thing a second time and still had an emotional response from it. It's sickens me that it takes this much in order to hold our government officials accountable, but it's still better to see some accountability rather than what we're used to which is none. Keep up the great work You're one of the best channels there are out on RUclips. Loyal subscriber like and share.
Yes! Love the decision to make this a recurring feature here on this channel. Love the 2nd channel as well!!
The Jennings case is ridiculous. It was an ego trip. They knew he wasn't a criminal!
That judge was nuts thinking a call gives probable cause.
Especially with the explosion of Karen’s over the past few years. I talked to a person online that said he loved to go for walks and call the cops for anything he saw like people drying their swim shorts on their balcony.
It seems to be a way for them to feel powerful.
Please keep this type of video coming. Your videos are great but updates like this later are a nice addition and are great for reflecting back on incidents we’ve seen. Also it gives us a good impression of the legal system that follows the interaction and the outcomes and length of process etc. Thanks
Keep the updates coming. It’s like grabbing a cup of coffee with an old friend
One of the first things you learn as a driver: Do not park a car straddling trail road tracks.
I hate auto correct
Thankful for the updates!
Yes this is very valuable information. Keep making it on this main channel!
The incident with the mobility scooter is simply mind boggling.
It takes a special kind of monster to endanger another person by forcing her to ride a 5 mph scooter on the road and then to require her to wear a helmet, as if that makes her safer.
The worst part is the bootlicking jury !!! The whole town liked the rise of taxes for their ignorance.
That's similar to the Target customer who was trespassed by police instead of them *helping* him buy the bike.
@@rjstegbauer
Ah yes, that customer who was very clearly mentally disabled and neither Target nor police personnel showed any empathy to help him buy his bicycle?
How do these people even function in a society?
I had to use a mobility scooter for a while, and it's really dangerous to ride in the street, especially at night. Add to that there were piles of snow on the ground hiding obstacles, sharp items, potholes, and areas deeper than the floorboard of the scooter. Those cops truly were insensitive assholes for treating her that way. If she's using a scooter, she's got enough physical and personal problems to deal with already.

I really appreciate having these updates. Police accountability isn't just about recognition of their wrongdoing, but also about how the system does and does not hold them accountable, so it's important to see how these cases come out.
Love the updates. I see lots of videos of old police encounters reposted on RUclips with no context or information about what the end result was. I believe it’s very important to know how misguided departments, attorneys and judges have gone to justify their actions and what the end results were.
Love, love, love, the updates! It's so nice to find out the conclusion to the cases you shared with us, and we feel invested in!
All the judges need to be permanently removed from the bench
The Pastor Jennings case is really disturbing. Innocent people have no defense against "We got a call." That ruling means that innocent people have to stop what they're doing and submit to being treated like a criminal, just because someone called police, identified themselves, and said that "there are people on my neighbor's property doing something, and I don't know who they are."
And it also means that officers can unreasonably escalate to an arrest if the innocent person doesn't prostrate themselves enough and fast enough for the officers' egos - even though the officers witnessed no unlawful activity and the innocent person's explanation is completely reasonable and consistent with lawful and even normal behavior - and there's no valid evidence which suggests that they engaged in any unlawful activity or were preparing to engage in unlawful activity. Unsubstantiated suspicion is enough.
We keep putting or allowing people who aren't like regular Americans, who don't live lives like regular Americans, and who don't have the problems of regular Americans in high positions in our governments - and then we complain when they act against the interests of regular Americans.
And the judge's reasoning echoed what we've seen from some posters on police encounter videos. The mere possibility that someone could be a criminal is used to justify officers' behavior. No one can be an innocent person, just lawfully going about their day. An elderly or middle-aged neighbor doing a favor (watering plants - outside) at the request of the property owners could be a "clever criminal" who picked up a hose and started watering plants to try to trick the officers into thinking that he wasn't a criminal (of some unspecified sort, with no evidence to support any suspicion of any particular unlawful activity).
And those comments from posters come up more often when the "possible criminal" has a certain ethnicity. But this judge's ruling applies to all ethnic groups, even if the ruling was influenced by the ethnicity of Pastor Jennings. So, you folks with a certain bias are harmed by this ruling, too.
It's because this country is already transitioned into a socialist country. You don't have any constitutional rights and I think that's becoming very blatantly obvious.
@@loki2240well reasoned and well stated. Hope the lawyers make similar arguments because the judge's reasoning is patently absurd. Unfortunately it seems some US judges don't consider the wider ramifications and implications of their rulings
Makes me think the person making the call had an ax to grind with the Pastor. Who in their right mind, watching him, would think he was up to no good? and then the cops not mature enough to see nothing is wrong. complete stupidity all around.
@@kimbucha2949 - I don't know if she called maliciously or not. But she claimed that she saw multiple people, when it was just the Pastor. And when the police arrived, she eventually said that she knew who he was, that he was a neighbor, and that he could've been water the plants for their neighbors who were out of town. But the police decided to arrest him anyway.
Literally one of the most consistent, considerate, and organized channels on this platform. Y’all are so good at what you do!!
Absolutely love this format, it's like catching up with friends you haven't seen in a couple of years.
A lot of these people are forgotten about after the initial videos covering their interactions with police, so it is nice seeing an update about everyone who did, or unfortunately in some cases, didn’t get their due.
I'm happy you're doing these update episodes. One of the most infuriating parts of many of these cases is never getting a resolution, and understanding how they end. Given how long the court cases can take, its understandable we don't see a resolution for years after they occur, but often times when they resolve its barely a blip on most news sites radar if they publish anything at all.
Love this update format! We’ve all been craving this!
All the Officers & DAs should have to pay out their pockets not the taxpayers!
