- Holy political favors, Batman! That's the allegation against San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos for sending a four-man team across the country last week, to raid the garage that builds Batmobiles. Read the ABC7 News I-Team report here: abc7ne.ws/3Q8tglN
#Batmobile #raid
The Judge who issued the warrant, the District Attorney, the Sherrif, and the Officers should all be fired immediately! What an outrage!
have to remember this is california leader of the extremely stupid laws and lawsuits.
Definitely the judge.
@@ghostshadow9046 Doesn't compare to Florida.
Fired? That’s it? They all need to be imprisoned.
It's california, they'll be praised for the criminal misconduct and the bullying of a law abiding christian
This is a very disturbing story. The sheriff, DA, and rich brat should be worried about consequences for their illegal actions.
Some of these people need to paid a little visit
Time to take California officials and use our state laws against them. Put that sheriff in jail for pretending to be an officer with Indiana authority. He's a criminal in Indiana not a cop. Throw his stupid A$$ in jail.
@Karl with a K it’s not out of anyones pay grade. Hock your self help bs elsewhere.
@@hcsnake122 ahh shut up you clown !
Yes, they should be worried...but, they're not. We seem to have gotten to a point that anyone in a position of power can do no wrong. It's disgusting. We should be holding these people to a much higher standard.
Very rare to see proper investigative journalism in the modern day and age. Props to the news team on this one, the legacy media would do well to be on the side of the people like this for a change.
How any LEO could be involved in this and not be Fired, Prosecuted, and Banned from L.E. is beyond me.
Corruption runs deep in this country.
They're part of the Brotherhood of Satanic Scumbags and Luciferian Loving Lunatics. Where black magic money making reigns supreme. It's super, duper amazing.
Even after an investigation they did nothing...
How did any of them think this was legal? Clear abuse of power, charges should follow.
Bet you still vote democrat
@@thatperformer3879 Yes, because we don't want criminal repubs.
@@thatperformer3879 This has nothing to do with political party. Nice try.

So... let me get this straight. This dude ordered a car, missed a payment, ignored the seller for like 8 months, and then was pissed he couldn't get his car right away so he had his sherif friend break laws to check it out?!?! This is ridiculous!!
Yes, but if it hadn't been reported by a news agency which also pushed it to the internet, it would just be another of thousands of cases of cronyism, fraud, nepotism, and much more perpetuated by the rich, powerful, and influential in and through our legal system every year. It's tragic, but also a drop in the bucket when compared to the volume of innocent lives ruined.
@@rebturtle but its good that they exposed this
Shop owner should have refunded the money or put the unfinished car on a trailer and sent it to him.
@@rebturtle well what do you say let's start with this drop...
Very impressive how you watched the video and understood it
How can a COUNTY Sheriff in Ca. legally execute a warrant disregarding the Indiana State and a local countys' laws?
This is where the police need to utilize professional discretion. The fact that they took payments and pursued this tirade against a honest man making a living, goes to show that the police force is diluted and easily bought and not serving the people anymore. Those officers should all be fired and the people that approved the warrants and raid also removed from service.
This is just a disgusting abuse of power through friends in “high” places.
Not even that high , but money buys you whatever pressure you want nowadays. Specially in the Land of the Free. Just look at the amount of conflict of interests in congress, markets, etc
This wasn't power. This was a crime. California cops have NO power in Indiana. This business owner should have treated them as he would a home intruder.
It's the USA, not a free nation. Cops over there shoot dead over 1200 civilians each year. They could kill him and then just say he moved his hand and they'd walk. You seem to be confusing the USA with free democratic nations. It's a police state.
welcome to america!! lol
My friend are in low places. ... Where the whisky drowns And the beer chases my blues away. And I'll be okay. 🎵
The sheriff broke the law in several ways: 1. Using public funds for personal projects 2. Trying to enforce the law outside of his legal jurisdiction. 3. Using the court system to suppress or harm the victim maliciously.
What is disturbing is that the Indiana law enforcement agency allowed the illegal short term kidnapping of the Rev at their facility. They should be held accountable for that farce! Shame on them! I hope he gets justice on multiple levels.
If every other person reading this would file a complaint online with both state attorney general's offices consumer division, even if you want to be anonymous, they have to investigate and or refer to another state agency! Let's do this for the Rev.!
...if you think other Police Dept's/Sheriff's Dept's aren't doing things like this in other State's?
Shame on Indiana local law enforcement for allowing this BS to happen
@@-108- oh noooo...its the grammar police. 🤣😆
I didn't know you could serve a warrant across state lines with out going to local police authority and being escorted.
Countersuit for court costs based on the prior dismissals seems in order.
@@-108- Bro, enough with the hyper-criticism! Sheesh. Wait until someone criticizes your grammar, spelling, logic or writing style and see how you feel. It's not necessary to publicly shame people because something petty irks you. Me thinks the source of your issue lies elsewhere! Have a great day!
Just imagine how many people this sheriff did this to that didn't have the same sort of platform as the Fiberglass Freaks owner to get the story picked up by news absolutely disgusting to think about.
I believe they refer to that as "the top of the ice burg" when alluded to.
Probably hundreds, maybe thousands
there are no consequences for these thugs with badges. in the old days a US Marshall would arrest these floundering pigs
Yep just like one of my friends who has been married to his wife for only 6 months and I believe her and her da mother in my local county is trying to basically steal his home that he bought and paid for...it is in his name and had it long before they'd even got together.... had him put in jail over a charge from 10 years ago of which the statute of limitation has ran out... he'd been pulled over a few times and they never even said anything to him about it.... until now.... and the wife is a well-known...well she sleeps with lots of men... she was a stripper not very long ago and the mother cut off contact with her over it... now all a sudden the mother is taking sides and making things hard for this young man who works 50 to 60 hours a week... the wife claimed he had been cheating on her which is untrue...it is the other way around because he caught men texting her phone talking about having threesomes.... so needless to say he's living with his mother Barred from his own home because of Lies she made up saying he was stalking her.... funny thing is the guys next door neighbor has known him all his life and is watching... he knows very well he hasn't been near his own home since everything began... but this da is being corrupt and tyrannical and needs to be stopped.... they're trying to steal this man's home through a divorce.... that's what they are doing.... I don't know but a lawyer told me you have to be married for at least 3 years for things like that to happen.... any less time than that if there's a divorce you both walk your own separate ways with your own stuff....they DO NOT have children together...
@@jaystein1405 I think you are right.
I’m still confused how a county judge can approve a search warrant in a completely different state that his office has no jurisdiction ??????

This is what legitimate news media is for. Holding officials accountable instead of just letting them police themselves. THANK YOU
Journalism is the word
The bigger story is google just rolling over for any old warrant. They claim they deeply review each request but obviously not. The new charges all stem from that and are unrelated to the main legal complaint. This feels like a rich guy using the law and favors to bully a less rich guy.

How that sheriff thought he could get away with allocating law enforcement funds over a civil suit involving his buddy is disgusting
cause that is what his "friend" pays him for... he and the da are just attack dogs taking orders.
Cops are degenerates, liars, abusers of their authority, betrayers of America, ...and EVERY soldier who ever fought to keep America FREE, ...and have become literal TERRORISTS, terrorizing the citizenry. Those soldiers DID NOT make the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, only for American police to set themselves up as a PREFERENTIAL, PROTECTED, SEPARATE CLASS OF CITIZENS, who are OVERTLY MILITARIZED, UNACCOUNTABLE TO THE LAW, and IMMUNE FROM PROSECUTION!
The fact that the cops have become a Freem@s0nic Blue Lodge / Thin Blue Line GANG, that operates secretly, to protect and cover for each others crimes, abuse of power, and disgraceful behavior, is THE OPPOSITE of what they've PUBLICLY SWORN TO DO, and is diametrically opposed to their mandate as PUBLIC SERVANTS!
The story said he lost his election and will leave in January. Still has all the power and no worry of blowback.
Just typical California police for you
I'd return the money, refuse to build another and release a statement that the company would not deal with him as a customer.
I am all about supporting law enforcement, but this isn't law enforcement. This is malfeasance from top to bottom. How can they act outside of their jurisdiction, with support in Indiana? Did they lie to local officials? Independent investigation is in order.
you wanna know about MALFEASANCE?? look into the world of police stalking aka gangstalking and organized harassment
This is a scam by the buyer. He misses a payment, get's moved to the back of the line and then get's mad. He's lucky. When I was designing custom yachts for Burger and Palmer Johnson, if you missed a process payment and failed to respond to a letter or email, your contract was closed and whatever you paid for you were given a choice of 10 days to remove from our property or we'd begin collection actions for storage fees. By the way, if it was a simple accounting error or misunderstanding, we'd always work with the client, we were building multimillion dollar yachts. In this case, this sounds like a "poor little rich man", who failed to make his payments on time and thinks the world revolves around him. This complaint certainly seem ridiculous and frivolous. All involved should have civil penalties and charges of misconduct in public office. I'm surprised Indiana has doorknobs like this.
"By the way, if it was a simple accounting error or misunderstanding, we'd always work with the client, we were building multimillion dollar yachts."
You mean like when the company already has 170k and they're supposedly late on 20k for a project costing barely over 200k? In other words - your company has already covered all their costs and the only thing they're waiting on is some of their profit margin. Additionally they still have the product in-hand with multiple other orders to ship that exact product too?
Comparing a licensed product to a one-off custom yacht is a bit of a stretch. Calling it a "scam by the buyer" is the statement of a fool. Good thing you designed the yachts instead of managing the business because if Palmer Johnson was ran this way (*spoiler alert* they're not) they wouldn't be in business long.
The way the prosecutor defended it all is disgusting as well. I hope she is disbarred.
She didn't defend anything. Go back and watch it, she just tells the reporter what she knows.
@@bazzarr By not saying "yes, this is absurd and all charges will be dropped" - that IS THE DEFENSE MORON.

The amount of laws broken and rights violated are astounding. EVERY single person involved in this needs to be fired and held accountable for the TAXPAYER MONEY used for this, AND that batmobile guy needs to sue them all.
This is disgusting. This world is so broken.
Unfortunately if he did sue, it's likely the tax payers would pay the compensation too.
@@reachandler3655 they 100% would.
@@reachandler3655.

And yet some judge is going along with it.
How are they allowed to send 4 sheriffs ACROSS THE COUNTRY!??!!? Keep the CA police out of our state!
If she has no knowledge of the highly public relationship between the defendant and plaintiff she has no business deciding over the case. She must live under a rock.
Unanswered question: How does a judge sign off on a search warrant for this??? That's ludicrous!! The Judge should ALSO be investigated!!
The search warrant was for his internet activity as well. It wouldn’t surprise me if his personal beliefs expressed online were the “additional evidence” found to secure this case - or convince a crazy judge he is dangerous.
They SHOULD all be FIRED!!
@@BBAKER22 they should all be arrested…
@@BBAKER22 you misspelled executed.
I don't understand how officers from another state can show up out of their district and have any authority to serve an out of state search warrant
The guy building these batmobiles is a real standup guy. This is just a disgusting abuse of power through friends in “high” places. I hope the builder takes action against them for the time,harassment,not to mention the humiliation these morons caused him.
Mister rich guy is responsible for the fact his batmobiles was delayed. Not this guy.
Not to mention illegally freezing his assets
...if you think other Police Dept's/Sheriff's Dept's aren't doing things like this in other State's?
Yep, I would have told that guy, "For another 50K, I will put you back in front."
I bet the guy who builds them, They look amazing by the way, I bet the build contract changes after this to note "Failure of a scheduled payment puts you at the bottom of the waiting list."
@@naughtysmurf64 Most definitely I saw one at the Santa Barbara Auto Emporium.....His work is amazing!!!....and Forget 50k....The assessorial charge on a planned construction would be equal to the value of the car....labor, handling, storage, etc.
Is what you get when you have a bunch of money and have the mentality of a 4 year old girl.
Why are so many so surprised? An unchecked fire eventually engulfs everything.
This is common problem across America, the police have forgotten their roles. The are to "Protect and to Serve" and leave the investigating to the Federal Bureau we Americans formed and assigned to handle that duty.
They're protecting and serving a guy that gave 170k toward a project and was told he was being delayed up to 2 extra years over a supposed 20k missed payment. ...and is that even the real reason? Have any of these cars been delivered yet?
Regardless of how right or wrong the police were to cross state lines; that seems to me to be an incredibly poor business practice.
Anyone that would give Fiberglass Freaks a dime after this story or thinks they're some sort of innocent victim appears to be completely foolish.

How is even remotely constitutionally legal?
Its not, those were mercenaries and they should have never been allowed to leave Indiana.
Democracy
Since US has become laughing stock of the world
Yeah, that was one of my first questions as well. Although I'm a foreigner, I think that, apart from the federal agencies, any local agency of one side of the country would have to ask the local agency of the other side of the country, if they can assist with the warrant. But additionally I believe, that the warrant in this would have to be issued by the DA of the location of the shop, so you can't travel with a warrant across the country.
I might be wrong, because, as I said, I'm a foreigner.
@@R3AL-AIM That's stupid AF.
Please stay on this. It’s an absolute abuse of power, and in no way should it be a criminal case.
You're correct it's an abuse of power........but i feel now it SHOULD become a criminal case......and not against The Batman Minister, but everyone that flexed for their rich spoilt mate
The way the sheriff and the DA behaved it is now become a criminal case IMO.

Should it NOT be
Well...to be fair...maybe the seller needs to stop accepting new car orders if he is backed up for a year and a half.
Under what authority does a local sheriff's dept in CA have the ability to perform investigations, or issue search warrants in Indiana? Who ever the CLEO is of this Indiana jurisdiction should have kicked them out!
This is soooo outrageous. Yes, someone should be in jail, criminally charged, and it's not the man who builds the cars!

In the words of James Hetfield,
Sad, but true.
The Sheriff needs to be held legally accountable. Funny how once this abuse of power is exposed the other members of the San Mateo County Sheriff do not go on camera. They start to hide like rats. This is why people are starting to turn against the police. This is disgusting. The car builder needs to sue the Sheriff.
From the car builder's position, this is a target rich environment. The Sheriff's Office is "rich" and can probably be sued in both State and Federal courts. The car buyer is rich, and can be sued in both State and Federal courts. The only two questions: will the builder sue?, and can all litigation be transferred to Indiana?
PUBLIC EXECUTIONS ARE WARRANTED!
@@mikeriordan1811 I can already imagine the line of lawyers that are willing to represent the builder for that juicy paycheck. The county LE and court have definitely overreached their jurisdiction.
@@mikeriordan1811 Even more than that. There's an inherit responsibility at the State and Federal level to step in a begin criminal investigation on such a disgraceful case.

@@mikeriordan1811 at this point i think the FBI needs to get involved they have zero jurisdiction in Indiana they aren't cops there that warrant from CA isn't valid if they are abusing the power this bad over a batmobile they are seriously up to no good where they do have jurisdiction
The police department in Indiana should've stopped them when they tried to book him..
SINCE WHEN can a sheriff execute a search warrant outside of his jurisdiction, outside of his actual state!
As a retired DA investigator in Riverside, California I can tell you DDA's are sometimes liars. This was a civil dispute at best and not a criminal matter. The Sheriff's Department concocked just enough facts to get a Probable Cause warrant which afterward the DA refused to prosecute. The so called "Further Investigation" by the DDA revealed she did not want to touch this case with a ten foot pole. She read the case and dumped it period. Any seasoned investigator can see this. There was no diversion of funds or theft of funds, the guy was still working on the car until customer failed to send more money. As for the Sheriff's department, i hold the Sheriff responsible. What should be done? How about a law suit by the victim for false detention and violation of 4th amendment rights. Feel free to disagree with me. I spent 40 years in law enforcement.
I agree completely with you. Can you enlighten me as to how much the local PD or local Sheriff in the victim's area would have known about this phony raid? I agree, I hope the victims sues as well. I'd like to know where the sheriff is currently vacationing, Grand Cayman?
Bigger issue is jurisdiction related to the warrant and search.
@@Rikalonius most outside law enforcement agencies are required by policy not law to informed the jurisdiction being visited that they will be in their jurisdiction. Thats when both agencies discuss if help or assistance is needed. In some states, out of state warrants have to be used for an additional warrant in that state to make the warrant valid.
You are right....and the civil law suit against San Mateo officials should be held in Indiana.
Not only would I sue, I would be mean about it.
That’s what happens when you have SPOILED RICH PEOPLE OR POLITICIANS who think they are better than everyone else because of money or position. THAT’S why we have LAWS to (like the Constitution) to protect us. Those Sheriffs and Deputies had no legal right to seize anything in another state
If the warrant was legit, it would have been turned over to the LEO's of the jusidiction of the BatMobile maker. Not send your own THUGS to do the dirty work.
If the warrant was legit, it would have had to be sworn out in Indiana.
This is what happens when thugs occupy positions of authority. Fire the sheriff for authorizing the misuse of department resources and public funds.
Yeah yeah you just watched them do it every has a price the constitution don't mean jack well kinda
An Indiana judge signed off on the warrant because of a reciprocity agreement between the states and once signed, the warrant could be executed by any police agency from Indiana or California. The records were seized and copied so the California DA could see if the work claimed and parts paid for were actually shown. If the guy kept straight books, the charges should be dropped.
This kind of thing happens all of the time, but if the subject were a violent felon instead of a business, the local police would have been tasked with enforcing the warrant.
The friend of the sheriff needs to go to jail and learn what it's like to be sorry for his actions.
The local Indiana police should have arrested all the California cops.
This is beyond an abuse of power. Dude breached the contract by missing the $20k payment. This was illegal and unethical I’m sure he lied to get the cops out there. The Batman car maker needs to sue dude and the cops for constitutional rights violations and the sheriff. I can’t stand how they close ranks and this was a civil matter and the place of jurisdiction wasn’t California.
It makes me wonder how a Sheriff of CA can afford a $200,000+ Batmoblie to begin with. Evidently the $20,000 missed payment proves he cannot afford it?

That DA. Who allows these people to get into power? Without even opening her mouth you can tell she's corrupt. A sound mind rests within a sound body. If a politician is as wide as they are tall, or in her case, looks like a lich! do not trust them. If they cannot even begin to take care of themselves they will not take care of others.
Even Xavier is upset.
What legal right does a California sheriff's department have to raid an Indiana business?
This is what American journalism should be. Working for the people instead of doing the highest bidder's dirty jobs.
Wait.. since when can cops cross state lines and serve a search warrant outside their jurisdiction?? This has to be a federal crime.
Oh heads will roll as long as the batmobile guy gets there, if he is smart he'll start the process in Indiana where the crime was committed. The DA will come up before the Bar comittee and get a slap on the wrist.
Yep, even if federal a federal agency better be involved not a sheriffs office from a different state...
The Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution. It is how extradition works. But in this case it looks like that power is being abused.
That's actually quite easy because that's nothing new for cops. If a crime has occurred in a certain place, a warrant can be ordered for a person's arrest within specific geographical regions. So let's say, if a crime happened in Indianapolis and a judge ordered the warrant serviceable anywhere east of the Mississippi (for whatever reason and can be done), then the original jurisdiction has the right to go after said person anywhere east of the Mississippi. So if that person is found in New york, the state with jurisdiction can choose to send its own officers, usually in collaboration with local officers, to execute the warrant.
In this case though, this was definitely improper especially since California itself agreed that it had no jurisdiction in this case. This appears to be all civil without criminality.
No state cooperates with each other all the time. As you can see they had the local Sheriff there with them when they executed the warrant.
This is clearly an abuse of power by the sheriff and prosecutor. This never should have happened. But it's just another example of a spoiled rich boy getting what he wants from corrupt government officials. Disgusting.
Agree, what is truly sad, only because of the iconic "Bat Mobile" was a major part of the story did this abuse of power make it to become news media.
It's not an abuse of power, but simple interstate thuggery. Not only does that sheriff and his deputies have no authority to be there, but also crossed into another state to do this. This needs to be taken up by a federal prosecutor, as they can not do this in any legal way, shape, or form. I wonder how the sheriff in the county they did that raid in feels about his country being invaded by another. From another state.
They sort of glossed over how a judge had to sign the warrant.
Maybe we need Batman to clean up the streets
People like them (corruption) make the gypsy in Thinner movie look good and justified.

This is some corrupt 3rd world shenanigans. What an absolute embarrassment to our country.
This is a disgusting abuse of power! The irony of these law enforcement officers acting like the corrupt politicians from a Batman comic, is unbelievable. How did they get away with this?
Wake up! This is how the entire United States works. Every elected office is an office that is rife with bribery. They need campaign donations. Campaign donations are simply bribes.
Because they always get away with this you dunce. Cops have near unlimited power. Its only like people having been saying this for years
They will issue an abuse of power on anyone they want. This is why I stand behind defund the police.
Yeaaa i wouldn't give him the Batmobile now out of principle. Giving a Batmobile, a symbol of justice and crime fighting, to someone who behaves like some typical Batman villain - the irony!
This con man pretends to be a preacher, takes money for batmobiles, and then makes weak excuses in order to endlessly delay delivery. He deserves at least 10 years in a California prison.
Sheriff and DA should be prosecuted, dismissed, and jailed for abuse under color of authority, misuse of public funds, malicious prosecution, and fraudulent criminal charges.
And public officials have the absolute nerve to wonder why the public no longer trusts them.
Yeah, what you said...x 2.
Agree. But, remember who we’re talking about. The land of “rob, steal, 💩wherever you’d like, shoot up, toss the needles on the ground, scream, fight, scare average citizens, etc.”.
Exactly, but somehow I doubt there will be any accountability.
Qualified immunity.....
It's past time to remove it......
Charges should include kidnapping. They could not legally be working as officers there they were working as thugs.
California state laws being enforced by law enforcement from the state of California within the state of Indiana? Seems like out of jurisdiction
That guy and his cop friends needs to be put down on sight.
Classic abuse of power if he quit paying the builder is not obligated to finish cause the guy breached the contract
@Karl with a K he said it was a "classic abuse of power"...he clearly realizes it's neither amazing, astounding, nor surprising. Regardless of what you think, you clearly are low class. Summary: You are a rude, obnoxious dink. Any questions? Talk to the hand, bizzatch.
Ah it's simply how Democrats act in real life.
Presumably, although we haven't seen the contract.
Even if he didn't stop making payments and the project is delayed it's not a criminal matter requiring a Sheriff's raid from another state. It's a civil matter.
@Karl with a K shut up
This is a GROSS abuse of power, and that sheriff needs to be charged.
The owner need to file the lawsuit against the sheriff and the warrant judge for abuse of power and violation of civil rights.
Actually moving customers to the back of the line when they cannot pay $20,000 or a portion of the cost is giving customers time to raise the funds. This is a favor to the customer.
Totally agree, most businesses would just take your money for breech of contract.
Not when he's already paid 140 grand.

EVERY one of those people should be fired and lose their pensions
Yet, we’re all told nothing can be done when we the common people report ACTUAL thefts, break-ins, trespassing, vandalism, disturbing the peace, and car thefts.
Worse ... they catch the perpetrator, and set them free
without sentence, or charges formally filed.
Lol only in America, who signed the warrant? On what grounds? It's a civil dispute, but the sheriff tried to scare the car builder for his spoilt buddy. Because he can't get his toy for his birthday or whatever childish reason he needed it. He can't get it because he didn't pay as agreed or talk to the builder. Sheriff needs to be the one up on fraud charges not the car/toy builder.
@@rootchiller Which makes no sense, the builder can deliver the car as is and wash his hands of it. He cannot be forced to finish this car and can simply return any money not spent.
DA refuses to prosecute real crimes and spends time on batmobiles builders
@@Jaems_Scott To be fair, as far as setting them free and not sentencing goes, that's 100% out of cops hands. If they were planning on setting someone free they wouldn't go through all the effort and paperwork to arrest them in the first place. As far as sentencing goes, that's up to the court/judicial system to ensure proper sentencing.
All of those cops need to be charged with kidnapping. They know GD well they had NO authority to do ANYTHING outside of their jurisdiction.
Says they took him to the local jail. That must mean that towns police knew about them coming to serve a warrant, at least. Maybe they didn't know the details. Maybe that's why the had to let him go. When they brought him in and they started asking questions, they were like, "uhhhmmmm...."

I’m with you. This can’t Stand. This can’t be the End of it!!! If SEVERE penalties are not imposed, we as American citizens are NOT SAFE from STATE, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS, coming from out of state, and coming to our homes and businesses, on ORDERS from a stupid sheriff, DA, or judge! And THOSE who follow stupid orders , what are they?
@@thebee9907 I can’t see this as a civil matter, AFTER what transpired. This NEEDS a CRIMINAL referral!

This should be looked into by DOJ, this is an ATTACK and AFFRONT, on our VALUES and CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. When a fellow American is injured by these illegal actions, WE, are also affected, and injured by this, for if NOTHING is done, WE could be NEXT! Think about it.
A sheriff has jurisdiction in (not over) the entire Galaxy.
Wow! Tax payers paid the bill so the sherriff could do a favor for his rich friend. The prosecutor and the judge who issued the ridiculous warrants should be fired. Glad the sheriff was voted out of office. This is insane corruption. Sending officers a million miles out of their normal jurisdiction and spending thousands of dollars.
The “guy” who was paying for the car in payment missed a payment and would not return any calls for 8 months. His car was put on hold. He freaked. Got mad and called his “friend”. The feds should be looking into this.
The feds are more corrupt than the Sheriff. And that Sheriff is bottom of the barrel.
he should read his contract and that's his own fault. he gotta wait like other ppl when they miss payments so their orders gets on hold. he thinks the whole world involves in him. I think he's not really a batman fan and just wants the car
@@oscarin8181 He's a joker fan.... or maybe a riddler fan.

@@MrSalty-eg4zb true true. Everyone else gonna take that L tho
How do California cops have any authority in Indiana? How did they get a judge to sign a warrant over this? How does a judge sign a warrant for a different state? This is crazy and every one of those cops should be fired and jailed for abuse of power.
Its typical CA, they only follow the laws that they want to… demons are real and they have descended in CA. Just open your eyes to the crazy stuff going on over there.
Money

Yes even the deputies had to know what they were doing was illegal on several levels. I was just following orders doesnt cut it
Sheriff should be held liable, along with the DA, not the four deputies who were merely carrying out their orders, their instructions. They don't question their orders (even though, they should, because today's officers have gone to criminal justice education at the local colleges to get their degrees to have the job, so should be aware of what they can and cannot do, legally). But this being done in a state that is corrupted from the top down, nothing will be done about it.
If the follow-up interview actually was done, like he said he would try to, can someone link it?
This is clearly a case of corruption. Using public resources and the power of public office to do "favors" for a buddy, It is both a disgrace and corrupt.
This is a civil matter. So many people should lose their job over this.... including that prosecutor lady who is now pursuing charges. Absolutely ridiculous what people with power will do.
California is one of the most corrupt places in America.
U know they are all just gonna get promoted because the population base is is soft af
The sheriff in question is already on the way out due to losing re-election.

By taking him to the local jail for an hour, they arrested him. His attorney needs to bring an action in Indiana to make him whole.
I mean, they pretty much crossed state lines and most of the country to commit a series of crimes. Time for the Feds to get in on the action too.
False arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution. He needs to SUE them to oblivion.
They put the man in a cage for an hour so the Sheriff's rich buddy would get a laugh and show the builder guy who he's messing with.
It's possible the San Mateo investigators had an arrest warrant. If so, the Indiana authorities would have to make that arrest since California peace officers have no powers of arrest in Indiana. If the CA investigators did take him into custody or transported him anywhere against his will, it would be an unlawful arrest and false imprisonment - which could result in a lot of action against those investigators in both CA and IN, criminally and civilly.
@@skyhawk_4526 Should result in unlawful arrest and possibly false imprisonment. What actually happens is likely to be another story.
Can someone tell me how a Ca Sheriff had enough jurisdiction in another state to bring him to the local Police Station?
Mr Racop won't be taking a plea agreement. That means a conviction which means losing his License rights which means he can't finish the Batmobiles and they would be scrapped which means he would be sued by all current clients which means hed have to declare bankruptcy. You won't see a plea agreement in this case.
This is blatant abuse of power especially considering a judge signed the warrant
Whoa, whoa, whoa WHOA! I am not a lawyer but as far as I know a judge in California has no AUTHORITY to authorize a search warrant to be served in Indiana! The fact that they were waaaaay outside their jurisdiction and conducted this "raid" is a huge red flag. He should have immediately called local police and told them what was going on and had them come out. EDIT: Did a search online and found it is in fact illegal and a violation of state sovereignty according to the Supreme Court for a court in one state to issue a warrant for a search in another state. The warrant MUST be issued in the state the search is to be performed in to be valid. This sheriff had no legal standing to enter the property or act in a law enforcement capacity in another state.

Cancel the order and return the payment. Do not sell him a Bat mobile under any circumstances ever. As a private business you can refuse service, and in this case there is good reason to refuse service namely harassment and false charges. Actions have consequences and people with money and connections seem to forget that.
Wait, the California sheriff is corrupt? My, I would have never expected that!
The actions of the sheriff were immoral, unethical, and likely illegal. If these people don't get some real consequences out of this, the whole system is broken and unjust.
It's not illegal if you're buddies with the guys writing the laws
Why would he even agree to it.... what sort of favor it he re-paying? What skeletons are in the closet?
