CORRECTION: The multiple police chiefs being fired happened at the Locust Grove PD in Oklahoma, not at the Locust Grove PD in Georgia that was featured in this episode.
I'm happy you finally did this one. This was so wrong, but I'm happy she was fired. The other officer should've been fire too for backing her up like it was legal.
I love how the moron cops try to use reason.
Well you see there's a lot of drug activity here so we need to see your ID to make sure you're not a drug dealer.
What the f*** is my ID going to tell you whether or not I'm up to no good
At least a female officer got fired so now people's lives are safer that she's not on the job.
Do you know how many videos I've seen were a female officer loses her firearm to a suspect and now male officers have to come and face an armed purp
Yeyeye
The article about the Locust Grove police chief being charged is for Locust Grove, Oklahoma not Georgia. I believe the interaction happened in GA. The article mentions Mayes County which is a county in Oklahoma where Locust Grove is located. Pretty sure you are finding info on two different chiefs.
I found it funny that the only reason they even noticed him hanging out for a long time was because they were doing pretty much the same thing.
Underrated
I meaaaaaaaan my guy is parked at a pump not even getting gas and is just hanging out. I do see why they confronted him.
@@itzrookie8086 no one complained he was there and there were pumps free all around him. In what way was he posing a danger to the community?
Wasting time doing nothing,defund them mfs as we all see they are not working on stopping crime
@@itzrookie8086 Why? The gas stations property not the states. The gas station could have asked them to leave. It's not on the duty of the state to time people at pumps
Being out in public with no apparent reason or aimlessly wandering about is an exercise of freedom.
You are the best!
Only if you have your freedom is slavery vaccine card.
Otherwise its plain terrorism.
🤣
GOAT - Only solution is 🏴
Shits funny how some people think this is the greatest country in the world this country is so fucked and very far from land of the free.
He was not loitering, he was legally talking on his cell phone while NOT driving
That's not even it, he was black outside. The greatest crime of all.
This part. He's sitting at a pump that he could not use. As she said, his filler was on the other side of the car. He was there for at least 30 minutes, taking up a pump. I've been to this QT, like all the others, there is ample space for him to park and talk on the phone, sitting in the pump lane, isn't it.
This video title is also click bait BS. There is nothing in this interaction that could have led to her dismissal. It just happened to occur just prior to her being let go. Total nonsense connecting the 2 for views. I kept waiting for her to draw on him or something. "Immediately Terminated" My ass. Psh. Do better AtA.
@@Packer1290 if that's the case, the people working at the gas station can ask him to leave and/or have him trespassed. Did that happen here?
@vanashke001 cool story lady
@@Packer1290Georgia is a hands free state for one. So he was legally on the phone. 2 if you actually watch the video it was like 3 pumps free during this interaction 3. Y’all keep saying “if you owned you wouldn’t want anyone…” the employees never called on the guy. The police just walked up to him for fun… lied and said he seen drug dealers come and speak to you like wtf.
So, youre not allowed to drive while on the phone but, you're also not allowed to wait until your off your phone to drive, either. That makes perfect sense. That some great logic those officers have.
There are better and more logical places to park while using the phone.
@@user-zi9wt7yu4nlol how is parking at a gas station to make a call “illogical”? I don’t think you know what that word means 😂
@@user-zi9wt7yu4nlike where? He was parked and out of the legal right-of-way. He literally met all requirements of the law. He has every right to sit in that parking lot. There's no law saying he can't sit in his car, at a gas pump.
Not only that, but if he was guilty of "loitering", so were the cops. They said they were there for at least 20 minutes, before approaching him. If they're on the clock, why aren't they actively patrolling? How many ACTUAL crimes were committed while they were harassing this innocent man?
You must have an affinity for the taste of boot leather.
So called Cops can't think they've got no Brains 🧠.
That female Officer is Crazy, telling the man to go home. He could go anywhere he wants.
It's all about power. They want full power and control over everything to keep their ego pumped
Exactly
Cops and crackheads have the same rates of domestic violence.
Only reason she did was because he appeared black
Hater
So they said, "We sat and watched you and didn't see you do anything. Let me see your ID." The inherent mistrust of cops is well earned.
He bored them into a contact
you forgot a part that I feel needs stressed more...
cops: "We sat and watched you and didn't see you do anything. Let me see your ID."
him: "I was talking on my phone"
cops: "we know"
me: ... so I guess talking on your phone is the same as not doing anything? either he's talking on his phone, or he's not doing anything. it can't be both. admitting you know he was just talking on his phone then claiming "you were standing there doing nothing" is outright lying.
@@banaman7746 the man had a darker skin, so the pos cop wanted to arrest him, and/or kill him
@@banaman7746 And not only that but it's illegal to even have a phone in your hands while driving in Georgia. So you are supposed to pull over and park somewhere before using any handheld device.
@@banaman7746 he was also breathing and blinking. those of us with more than two brain cells to rub together don’t need to point out of the obvious. He wasn’t doing anything illegal. He wasn’t doing anything criminal. This is what racial profiling looks like. Apparently the ONLY reason a black man can talk on the phone is to set up drug deals. He can’t be doing any of the 1000s of other things white people do when they talk on the phone for a large stretch of time. But tell me again how systematic racism doesn’t exist.
I wish i would have known my right years ago. Cop busted down my door for a body warranty so once they found the person they were supposed to stop looking. They tore my house apart, dumped my garbage on the floor along with any container in my house. It took me days to clean up stuff. I attempted to look for a lawyer but my mom talked me out of it. I shouldn't have listened.
Ive also been violated by police in the days before body cameras and i felt like there was nothing i could do. It was my word against his
It seems that the law requiring a person to explain their presence to dispel any alarm or concern is at odds with a right to remain silent.
You're misunderstanding the law. The requirement is for the cops to give him the opportunity to explain his presence, not that he's required to explain his presence.
@@captobvious360 Glad you explained that because I was confused
"L-o-i-t-e-r-i-n-g. Look it up."
What a stand up thing to do. Insulting an individual's intelligence after violating their rights.
Well, he was a Black Man after all so his education might be lacking (sarcasm). right?
That, and the” I’ve never met you, she’s never seen you before, he’s never met you.” So, you’ve met everyone in this city, Parrish, or town?
My thoughts exactly! I knew someone would comment on that.. Pathetic
@@The1GeminII I hate when cops say that shit as if it’s supposed to mean anything
Exactly
Could’ve just walked up and told him he had a nice car and made sure he was good and didn’t need any sort of assistance. Crazy how hard community policing is so hard for so many officers
A cop going overboard?
Shocked let me tell you.
Or if it was really a problem ask him to leave?
I know right. That it how the old timers handled business like this. They come up to you friendly, do a quick observation, say have a good night, and then they move on. Police today lack any sort of police skills.
@Everett Ruiz nice bait bro
Its' almost like police (and conservatives more and more) literally do not know how to treat others like human beings, yet want to be treated _better_ than fair in return.
Basically... They're spoiled brats.
I gotta give it to the guy, despite being accused of all that stuff he remained pretty damn calm and non-defensive, just more so astonished and like wtf confused at what was happening.
The officer said “I believe you” when the Citizen said he lived there. If the officer believed him, then there shouldn’t be a reason for him to check his ID.
Criminal police in my view.
"This area is known for narcotic activity..."
Then arrest the area and leave the taxpayer alone.
I hope ms Pitts never works again .i also hope she has a big mo
She has a big mortgage
That's hilarious 😂
Taxpayer????
@@Meh-hr7gq What is so hard to understand?
"This area is known for criminal activity"...
Then arrest the area. Leave the man be.
I need to put this on a tshirt
EXACTLY!
That made me laugh way to much, arrest the area!!!
lol right.
And that was a lie that area by the quik trip is well lit and sits in the middle of the small city of locust grove.. I fuel there all the time and barely even see drunkies or crackheads
I'm fairly new to your channel & I want you to know that I appreciate all of your investigative 🔎 work! Thank you 😊 Have a great day!
The best response to that “unusual behavior” claim is that “I don’t drive while I talk on the phone.” Done.
So let me get this straight. These cops suspect this man going about his business of dealing drugs while their chief of police actually was stealing and dealing meth? Wow man this shit's crazy.
Ahahahah😂😂😂😂
maybe they were worried that he would steal their business?
Like GrandMa used to say..."BOY, you sure got that $#!t right!!!
He corrected this. The chiefs were from Oklahoma, not Georgia.
Can’t have another dealer on their block
The man got out of his car to make a phone call. I'd much prefer that to him talking or texting on the phone while driving.
unless you owned the business?
@@geteven3107 if you own a gas station and expect people not to spend time at it, you're missing a few crayons from the box.
@@geteven3107 did they just ask him to move away from the pump?? He hurt nothing.
20 minutes on the phone is not that crazy. He wasn’t there for hours. Geez Totally normal behavior
@@geteven3107 People pull into gas stations all the the to make phone calls. So they aren't talking on the phone while driving. Especially at night.
My go to when I need to make a call or do something on my phone that I can’t do while driving is to pull into a gas station. This is ridiculous, what has society come to that we are at a point where “using a phone while black” creates such alarm that they harass this person.
Talking while black, walking while black, making a phone call while black, driving while black, being in a nice neighbourhood, this channel has shown me how many things police have issue with you doing if you are black…. Freedom seems to be for only a few people
He could have parked in the parking lanes instead of gas pump. It was weird that he was there for 30 minutes especially since his tank side is on the other side of the car. I don't think they did anything wrong.
@@Name-jw4sjif they sat there for 30 minutes and watched him not do anything then why do they need his ID?
@@lifeofzariibo2762 To answer your question, what city do you live in so I can give you an example why they requested his ID?
So they admitted they had been at a gas station longer than him but him being there that long means he was breaking the law.....
At the end, she STILL told him to "go home". She can't tell anyone to go home, or any other place. She just HAD to exert her authority over him, even in the absence of a crime. Glad she was removed from this job, the public deserves better.
C u next Tuesday
Makes no sense though because what about the two other cops that were saying the same thing
Try living in Melbourne Australia...check rebel news
She's was not fired.
The description says that was a department in another state.
Uh... no actually she said that he needs to get on with his business, get gas, do whatever he's doing there, and then 'head on home' which he already said he was intending to do. The point she was making was that he needed to not sit at a gas pump for a half hour, he needed to get on with what he was doing. Gas pumps aren't parking lots.
I love how when people invoke their rights cops say their “making this difficult”
they're
Because they think they know the laws than normal citizens that’s why
To be honest not being able to identify a suspect of you know... A Suspicious incident... Is one of the dumbest things a constitution can say. It goes about 90% against the cop jobs and i bet most auditor channels won't even exist if it wasn't not for that glaring loophole.
So let's say I'm a suspect of a crime. I can make up an excuse like this and walk Scott free? That seems to me like a recipe for disaster on limiting police functions.
And this could be weird to read, but i'm glad we don't have these bullshit laws over here. It makes me feel more safe knowing that police can identify a suspect before a crime is committed instead of "OH YEAH, THE AXE GUY, ha! I told you he was shady!"
If you owned this gas station and saw somebody blocking one of your gas pumps for 30 minutes what would you do?
Difficult for the jack booted tyrants
Something that isn’t mentioned here: QT gas stations have signs posted around the parking lot that say “safe space”. They are places that are monitored by security cameras, and meant for people doing things like what this guy was doing… Stopping to talk on his phone.
So now that the alarm has been dispelled; it’s been nice to talking to you and I’d like to be on my way. As far as I’m concerned this conversation is over. I’m invoking my 5th amendment right to remain silent and would like a lawyer for any and all questioning. Thank you for your kind assistance to this matter as I’d like to be on my way.
“Do your business and head on home”. They literally think they have the right to control what this man does with his time. 🤔
Smh that made me so mad
I hate it when cops try to control more than they legally can.
@@matthewcooper412 THATS WHY SHE I S NO LONGER THERE !!
They don't mean "go home" in the literal sense, it's more "finish your business and leave the property". Poor choice of wording on her part.
@@Kelthor85 I believe she meant it literally. Her phrasing was not in the least bit ambiguous.
What’s hilarious is that she basically admits at the beginning of the interaction they were doing exactly what he’s doing……sitting in the parking lot doing nothing for 30 mins. Something cops are famous for
But she also said they monitor that area because it's notorious for drug transactions.
Shes like hey you cant park here for 30 mins this is our spot for waiting and doing nothing 😂 its like a hobo turf😂
Sitting in the parking lot and doing nothing for 30 minutes ON THE TAXPAYER'S DIME.
@@Spectre11B but they didn't observe him doing anything wrong , he was just stop by a lesbo/lgbtq cop who was power tripping
@@hectorr4956 But wasn't it mentioned that he had his cap on the other side of the car and he was on the phone for 20 minutes?
Immediately I noticed that the officer said they had been there 20 minutes. So it's apparently ok for them to "hang out" but not anyone else? The individual could simply say that they had to make a phone call and didn't want to be on the phone while driving; since non-hands free operation is now illegal in many places.
"you've dispelled the alarm and can go on your way"... Keeps explaining to him over and over so that he can't leave.
Yes, EXACTLY. I'm thinking . . . LEAVE THEN!!!
No one can talk in circles better than a police officer.
The longer they hold u on a stop easier it is to get a tough slip out of someone who will talk
@martin123 A politician is the gold standard
Except a criminal
Bro if circle talking was an Olympic event, cops would win gold every time hands down 🤓
Yes it's called copsplaning....
Police: We noticed you have been parked here a while but, you’re not getting gas.
Mr. Hellcat: Well, I was going to park up front, but there are 3 fucking police cars taking up all the spots.
He blocked a gas pump for 30 minutes without pumping gas and was just yacking on the phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get real people!!!!!!!
@Shadow Samurai Then get into your car and move. The problem in this country is that everybody has an excuse. It was a waste of police resources. It would have never happened if he just moved his car whether he was black, white, green, gay, straight. Please stop entertaining this nonsense. The video and incident was a waste if time.
@Shadow Samurai Oh I forgot. Forgive me. I feel like a fool. You are so right. People should go elsewhere so he could talk on his phone whenever and wherever he wants. Do you see how silly you sound? Honestly do you? I am not trying to pick a fight, I am trying to make today's youth see reality. Realize that they are not privileged and can't make excuses for everything they do. It is sheer nonsense. The best lesson I have ever learned in my many years alive is that, "Too much of ANYTHING is BAD." Too much hate, too much crime, too much love and yes, too much freedom. This big, bad world doesn't owe us anything!
@Shadow Samurai I should follow the actions of mt Brother who said that he is done trying to change other's opinions.
@@RisingTidesAC If there was no complaint they should have left him alone.
I love how the cops kept saying they were done and then just. Not leaving or otherwise ending the interaction. Like given how cops so often operate, the dude they accosted can't safely end the interaction himself, so he's waiting for the cops to do so, and they just weren't willing to walk away
After I paid for gas and lottery tickets, I filled the tank and got in the car, scratched some tickets off and the cashier came out and asked me what I was doing . I showed her the ticket and she said I would have to park in the designated area because their pump area was on a timer...never heard of that , but I immediately moved from the gas pump area.
Would not spend money in this place again.
IF these three LEO's know about a, *"party with a whole ton of drugs"* why are they harassing this man at a well lit gas station?
Exactly. The party is probably a bunch of rich white kids.
5:52 "This area is known for narcotic activity. It's known for criminal activity." So why are the cops talking to a guy at a gas pump with cops around the parking lot? He's going to be engaging in criminal activity in front of a bunch of cops?
My problem with Mr. Hellcat is one of common courtesy. If you're not going to immediately get gas, don't park at the pump. It impedes your fellow citizens from getting in and out of the station quickly and easily.
@@crkmt NO, he doesn't have to park elsewhere on the lot. If it was busy, then yes, but there was hardly anyone else around him.
@@crkmt I mean if that was the actual issue that would've been stated. Sure, we can say he was taking up a pump (this is a fact), but there's no telling what kind of conversation he was having on the phone. Regardless it's evident that he was not conducting criminal activity and the demand for his I.D was unnecessary.
Because they are lying from the beginning.
This is the SECOND time within a year that Officer Nicole Pitts has been fired from a Georgia police department. In October of 2020, she was fired from the Clayton County Sheriffs Office for holding her gun to a mans chin that she had handcuffed because he wouldn't get into the back of her patrol car.
She should be in prison for life without the possibility of parole.
I thought I recognize her.
F$%# l don,t have much faith in cops generally but the level of criminality just keeps getting worse
She shouldn’t be allowed to be a cop if she acts above and abusing the law. Any pension should be sieved and out towards any compo towards her victims. It’s another reason to get rid of qualified immunity from cops and make them pay for their own mistakes.
No way! Another instance of the musical chairs bad cops get to play. Police unions need drastic reform
She was fired from another Police Department for excessive force before being hired by Locust PD. She was also fired from Locust PD for things she did off duty. It has nothing to do with this case.
Tell me more
@@anncarroll2708 Please enlighten me.
Sitting at a gas pump while not gassing is rude as f.

Man: Peaceably minding his own business talking on his phone

If only he was on his phone while driving....... *Sigh*
I wouldn't want him on my property
Cop: That's when it became personal to me.

Good thing it is not the cop's property... nor did I see a property owner, or even a manger... making a deal out of it.
@@spud1907 obviously they must have or why show up.
12:42 Love how cops NEVER have business cards or have the courtesy to write their name a badge # on a piece of paper but at the same time a cop will immediately ask for ID when they make contact.
Cops and crackheads have the same rates of domestic violence.
If possible, always get a police ID before listening to them. Literally anyone with a couple hundred usd can dress up like a cop, especially with cops dressing like terrorists nowadays.
@@420RittzBish Unfortunately it gets worse. We had a police officer detain a young women, drive her away and then rape and murder her here in London a few weeks ago. The police are trying to put together ways in which a citizen might be able to confirm the identity and lawful actions of a police officer but it's a complete mess.
@@digitaurus that's terrible. I remember learning somewhere that you can call the town non emergency number or even 911 and ask if theres a police cruiser near you or not and they can verify it before you pullover if youre scared or thinking he might be a fake!
police are all required to carry 3 forms of identification otherwise they're operating under color of law, which is a crime because anyone can do it. if a police officer is not upholding their bond and oath of duty they are then guilty of impersonating an officer. in reality man, if people knew the law well no one would want to be police. elsewise many officers would likely be summarily executed for committing heinous and violent crimes while impersonating a peace officer.
As a former cashier at many gas stations, I like and respect customers that stay outside and finish their phone call BEFORE entering the store. Nothing more rude than a customer coming through the door or standing at the register and yelling at the phone.
The officers had no immediate reason to believe that he was involved in criminal activity and had to leave because they did the something that they were doing themselves.
"We've never met you."
So, guilty until proven innocent.
Exactly
Small city cop mentality I guess. I’ve stopped the same person twice before maybe once lol
Cops: "We've n ever met you."
Me: "What are the names of the homeowners of the first three houses on this block?"
Now it’s ur guilt until proven not guilty sadly
Her telling him to finish his buisness and "head on home" is incredible.

😅😅😅😅😅 him telling him😅😅😅😅good one
It's quite standard actually. Places of business like this are private property; potential customers - and even paying customers - do not have permission to remain on company property indefinitely without good reason.
When I call the police in situations like this, a "head on home" request is exactly what I'm hoping for.

Came here to say just that only less nicely.
I'd have lost my shit right then. Lost my dad 15 yrs ago and he's the only one ever told me where to go and when to be there.
AtA unfortunately doesn't address this aspect of the encounter at all, yet is probably the most questionable. The guy lives in the area. It appears that he's a regular visitor to the gas station. What right do the cops have to try to regulate a citizen's movements in this way?
No kidding... It's as if they expect him to say " yes'sah, yes massa" in response.
so much for freedom and democracy and "evil authority regime" double standard
'Murica
“Here’s the deal” Officer - if they commit a crime, arrest them. If they haven’t committed a crime, leave them alone. Is it really that hard?

it's classist as hell. Literally just another mechanism for the state to bully the poor and working class
We live in a consumerist capitalist police state. If you are not buying something or working, you are not allowed to be in public. Buy something or leave the store.
I usually parked my car away from the pump so it doesn't interfere with customers.
Some businesses don't like it when large groups of people "hang around" at their business because it can intimidate customers from coming in and making purchases. ESPECIALLY if it's in an area that's well known for a high crime rate.
Dude parks at a gas-station pump and stands around talking on his phone for half an hour, and never gets gas. The cops watch a known druggie make contact with him and leave. These cops could have approached with a different tone, yes; but good on them for checking out the situation.
Why didn't they question the guy they said was a druggy?

Awesome man! Same here. You're not taught your rights, you have to learn them.
Glad you stayed on the outside! I spent a little time in jail but never went to prison. However had I known what I know now I wouldn’t have been in jail as long as I was. They attempted to give me a year in prison for less than 1 gram of marijuana and paraphernalia. (A “bowl”, rolling papers, and a tray with marijuana residue on it) I had no priors whatsoever. Not even a speeding ticket! They unlawfully searched my home but I didn’t know it was an unlawful search at the time. I do now. I was only 22 years old at the time and feared the police. I still fear them but more so for them violating my rights or harming innocent people. I’m grateful to this channel as well. Again I’m so glad you didn’t go to prison!

I find it odd that the rookie cop was fired when her two superior officers stood by and neither one was reprimanded; only her. That one superior officer did explain things to Mr Hellcat and the other one remained silent. If what the rookie cop did was wrong, why didn't they intervene instead of that one officer explained the situation? She was out of line to tell him to finish his business and then go home, as if she had the authority to tell anyone to go home. Maybe that's why she was terminated. If would be interesting to know more why she was fired and whether the other two officers were punished.
I can't believe that idiot gave them his i.d that pissed me off so bad watching an American man give up his rights with no questions
"I apologize for being responsible and parking while I'm on my phone, officer."
Parking at a pump while not getting gas is a fuck stick move period. The night person working is most likely told its unsafe and to ask people that do it to move their car or leave. This night person is probably also told to not leave the store unattended and if there are a bunch of people and someone is doing this to just call the police and have them tell that person to leave. The officers obviously did a horrible job in this instance as they should have just rolled up and said "You cant stay parked at a gas pump without getting gas or going into the store." If the dude asked why they should have just said the business doesn't allow it. If the dude continued to push one cop should have went inside and asked the worker if they'd like to trespass the dude or not and if so gone back out communicated this reality to the dude and went from there.
"Just don't let it happen again, citizen."

Telling him to go home after their interaction was the kicker for me. You’ve investigated, found no alarm or crime, so why do I have to go home? Am I not free to remain innocent? Wankers
Because he is “living” in the pump lane of a business, blocking out others.Those who criticize these cops for asking him to move along should move to San Francisco or LA. Y’all will love it there.
Very well said.
^..^~~
Because he's been sat parked at a pump for 30 mins.. more than a good enough reason, to ask why that is and also tell him to move on or go home, as eventually that's where he'll be going.
@@richrichie378 there’s nothing wrong with them investigating a potentially suspicious act. But he’s not been found to be guilty of anything unlawful. The go home order is unlawful once he’s been cleared at any wrongdoing. Even a move on order may be a stretch of their powers if no other complaint of trespass has been made by business owner or rep. He’s a grown man in a free country, he’s free to go where he pleases or remain until trespassed by the private business. I get that what he’s doing is inconsiderate, but being a duck isn’t against the law. As a police officer you don’t get to order people to “go home” just because you don’t like them or what they’re doing.
You don't have to go home. That's the point. But at some point you do need to either buy gas, something from inside, or leave. If you don't, the owner of the station will have you removed.
I first heard of Audit the Audit after I was waiting for my car mechanic to finish an oil change and walked out to patches of grass near some houses right across the driveway. I was not aware anyone was living there and was really surprised to see an officer walking towards me and asking what I was doing there because he got a call about someone wondering what I was doing there, and asking for my ID. I was willing to give it to him because I wasn't aware of doing anything wrong and wasn't as aware of my rights. They ran the ID and nothing came back, and I explained that I was just waiting for the mechanic, which was enough for the cop to leave. Although I was really shaken by the encounter as I hadn't expected it and was worried something would happen if they ran the ID, the cop was respectful throughout and actually apologized for stopping me, and I just told him that he was doing his job.
When I picked up my car and told the mechanic what had happened, he told me about AtA and that this was not a situation where I needed to provide ID because my state is not a stop and identify state. I have understood a lot of situations while watching AtA that would indicate providing ID was not obligatory, but I do question this one because, unlike in this video's suspected loitering situation, sitting on what was probably someone's lawn might have been unusual enough and concerning enough to merit investigation and there was an informant who called the police (satisfying reasonable suspicion doctrines, from what I understand). I feel that even with the knowledge I get from this channel, I would be afraid of being wrong about the law if I were to stand up and not identify myself in the future.
god you can't even just relax in public and do nothing without being bloody harassed by dirty cops looking for trouble.
People that block gas pumps really get on my nerves, but this situation seemed like a gross misuse of law enforcements time.
dude was like frozen in place texting before going inside.... and that's suspicious.. like jesus whenever im high that happens often, i grab my phone and just stand there not mentally capable of doing anything else other than staring at my phone like a dumbass

Escalation vs. de-escalation.
This would involve cops being educated and not choking on their own ego. I have not met an educated cop, just small-man military drop-out types.
The goal was never to get him to move his car. They already profiled him as a drug dealer because he checked their boxes: flashy car, loitering, being black, associating with someone who walked by. They wanted him to run or catch him with a warrant or priors so they could say they smelled weed, or his eyes weren’t right, so they could rip apart his car to remind him that they’re in charge.
All of this could have been avoided if that dumbass just moved after he pumped his gas. Dude the gas station isn`t your personal driveway to hang out.
@@Wolfy2929 It’s not the police’s job to enforce gas station policy. On a side note, there were other pumps open, the place was not super busy, and the owner of the station did not request their presence.

The best example of stealing there is - Georgia's "super speeder" law. Break it, and get yourself a $1000 speeding ticket. It's as if the phrase "reasonable and customary" never crossed their minds.
The officer starts right out with a scolding or confrontational tone. No matter what the words are, when you do that, a human being will nearly always go into defensive mode. It's just natural.

I mean, you use a gas pump as a parking spot for over 20 minutes, you deserve a spanking. It’s like bro, you’re not the only person on planet earth.
It’s not even weird to stop at a gas station and take a phone call seeing how it’s illegal to drive and use a cell phone
Amen to that. I always pull over to do anything with my phone, and I sure wish more people would.
I agree entirely, but I do want to add that it's kind of a dick move to block a pump for half an hour. Not illegal, just a little inconsiderate. That said, unless the staff has a problem with it and makes that known, it's fine.
It is extremely unusual to take said phone call in front of a gas pump with no intention of getting gas for over 30 min while simultaneously having engaged with a known drug offender directly in front of police officers... I am willing to bet you have never sat in front of a gas pump with no intention of getting gas and taken a phone call for over 30mins.

Stay outta my bitch lol
Having lived in that area before, QT gas stations invite police to hang out for a bit for general safety since they are open 24hrs.
I was arrested Dec, 27th last year in Fort Worth for playing guitar on a public easement that is at least 20 feet wide and a grassy area it is raised up and not on the same level as the roads around it. The cops explantation for the reason for the initial detainment was from several noise complaints forwarded from dispatch. I explained that the local fort Worth noise ordinance was divided into 5 main sectors and the decimal limits in each of the 5 sections differed that some areas allowed up to 50 decibels, another was 60 decibels, and the last of the 5 geographic sections allowed 70 decibels these were considered business districts and not zoned by fort Worth to be residential areas, in which residential areas were subjected to a lower decibel limit of 30 decibels during the day. I asked the officer if she had a decibel limit reader to determine if I had been in violation to the ordinance and explained that just because I'm playing guitar on an amplifier doesn't mean I'm automatically in violation of the noise ordinance. She then began to demand my I.D. I cited Texas Penal code 38.02 states that under section A. I don't have to present an officer with I.D. in the State of Texas until I'm lawfully arrested. Subsection B. States that if I'm a witness to a crime and give the officer false information like a fake date of birth or name was not applicable to me nor the other subsections under section B. Because I'm not a witness to a crime. The officer called for back up. Before the back up arrived I asked to speak to a supervisor she said she is a supervisor which was later determined to be a lie. When back up was arrived I was placed into handcuffs and told that I was only legally detained and not under arrest. I told them I don't consent to unlawful searches or seizures. The primary female officer told the back up units to search my pockets and get my I.D. I knew I had a possible warrant in green oaks for a traffic infraction from the previous year. I was on felony probation and my probation got revoked before my notice to appear in court in September for the traffic infraction. Because I was incarcerated for my probation revocation and in custody at the time of the court date I wasn't able to appear. I had my fiance take proof of my incarceration up to the river oaks to try to get time served. They refused and said I had to write a request and mail it to them. So a warrant was active when they ran my I.D. it showed up while I was placed into the back of the police car. I was never once told I was officially under arrest or mirandized and the charge I was being arrested for. They simply just drove me to jail. When I got out I found out the charge listed was private use of a sidewalk.

Mr. Hellcat gets a B. Because, while he exercised his rights, and the cops were out of line, he was naive enough to think he could park and hang out for a half hour in front of a gas pump. He could have easily drove off to the side and hung out, or went home.
They shouldn’t have framed this around loitering.
They should’ve just been like “hey man if you’re not doing anything would you mind just moving it along?
There’s been lots of break ins in the area and when we see a car not doing anything it makes it seem like you’re staking out the area”
Speaking as someone who worked at a gas station when I was a kid, this is less an issue of drug soliciting and more an issue of a guy inconsiderately occupying a gas pump for an excessive amount of time. Don't recall that being illegal, just douchey.
Yea....they should have just told him to pump gas or move away from the pump to take his phone call. The cops were more worried about a possible drug bust and not the fact that the guy was being an asshole blocking the pumps.
But there is several empty pumps?! Not like he’s blocking anyone from getting gas. I would see if differently had there been a line or crowded but clearly no one had to wait on him.
Omg stfu were allowed to sit there if we want. Other pumps are open lmao
Did they buy something though? I use to work out in the field and go to a gas station for lunch daily, eat my food while parked at the pump to get shade. One day an employee told me I need to move for customers. (There wasn't a single car in the parking lot or at the pumps) when I was eating my $15 worth of snacks lol.
it is trespassing. As a manager of a gas station, you would be allowed to ask them to leave or call the police to give him charges. He does not have the right to block service zones in the gas station. Other customers need to use those pumps. There is parking zones at gas stations for a reason. He should of used one of them instead of a service zone.
This video is a good example of one of the myriad problems with the "war on drugs."
It's a wide-open invitation for police to go fishing. It allows the invention of suspicion over the slightest thing, whether a casual greeting to a stranger, or merely being in a particular neighborhood at all-essentially granting police a canned RAS they can invoke 24/7 to harass anyone in an area, including local residents.
You are correct and I also might add in summary that they go fishing with a trawler net with a lot of innocent people getting caught up in their over-zealous war on drugs.

We “loitered” as kids in parking lots all the time. It was how we got away from parents and spent time with friends. As long as we weren’t doing burn outs, or donuts, or fighting, or drinking the police left us alone. Occasionally they would drive by slowly and we would wave and they would wave back. Things are changing.
as kids....right? taking back returnables for gum?
I mean, it should be obvious what the difference here is. Are you black @TMFO? If not than there’s the difference.
My kids have have told me that most stores won’t allow them in without a parent let alone to linger in the parking lot. I was shocked 😳 we used to get pop and candy and just hang out at the convenience stores. Times are changing
Same here. Then the cops decided they were going to run all the teenagers off of the parking lots, so then all the teenagers were just driving up and down the main strip. It wasn't the result the police were looking for. I guess they thought all the teenagers would just stay at home. Idiots. I got a loitering ticket when they started all that mess. I was walking to my car after work at a grocery store which was a popular parking lot for teenagers to hang around in. A friend drives by and stops and we start talking to formulate some plans for the rest of the night. About 30 seconds later a cop pulled up and gave us both loitering tickets despite the fact I was wearing the required white shirt, red tie, and name tag with with "Kroger" on it which obviously indicated I just got off work. Stopping to talk to someone in a parking lot just wasn't going to be tolerated. Another unintended consequence the cops created by doing that was it started sowing the seeds in a bunch of teenagers' minds that turned into not liking police. And cops wonder while they are not liked very much nowadays. Idiots...They've been actively working to gain peoples' ire for decades.
Bro, you need to use commas my guy.
Gotta love that the cops were doing exactly what he was doing, sitting there not getting gas or purchasing anything but as per usual the cops have an attitude that just because it’s good for me doesn’t make it good for thee. And they wonder why they’re called pigs.
