Never ceases to make me laugh how these outed, corrupt cops suddenly disagree with the process in how suspects are treated. Now you want mercy? Sure, Jan.
This 70 year old sheriff has gotten away with this kind of garbage time and time again, you can tell by how aggressive he was and flabbergasted that consequences were coming his way!!
It’s kind of terrifying that that undersheriff who was so openly defiant to the police, is allowed to deal with the public. I’m sure he’s so fair with them. scumbag
The undersheriff was arrested later for a different set of crimes and was forced into retirement and permanently banned from law enforcement work in lieu of a prison sentence.
Sure, but most of them are at least trying. It would be very difficult to do what they are doing in this video. Be honest with yourself, do you always do the "right thing"? It doesn't matter how you answer, because if you're an even vaguely normal person, you don't always do the right, legal thing.
The under sheriff saying "I'm not going to get involved" as he's holding both phones, refusing to give them over. These small town sheriffs are legends in their own minds.
I'm surprised this isn't a bigger issue in the video. I realize that the PD is trying to play nice because they need to maintain a professional relationship with the SD, but the warrant is for the phones, not for the person who is holding them. Passing the phone to a second party does not invalidate the court order, and the sheriff treating it like its some kind of protection against compliance is ludicrous. The Undersheriff is obstructing justice by refusing to hand over the phones, and I wish the PD had simply told him so.
Right...and why was HE not charged with obstruction as well? Withholding material evidence that is spelled out in a warrant is the definition of obstruction.
@@kathyinwonderlandl.a.8934was just gonna say anytime they show someone say the cuffs hurt it's always the same answer, "WeLl, ThEyRe NoT mAdE fOr CoMfOrT!"
SMH...the Sheriff thinks HE gets to dictate how things go..... "You'll get my phones AFTER I clear it with my lawyer"...... imagine you or I saying that to this Sheriff if he showed up with a warrant for YOUR phone. He'd probably violently take you down and arrest you for obstruction.
He DID dictate..temporarily. That's why public officials be treated with stronger hardship than the public, because their authority was ENTRUSTED to them..and they abused it.
In fairness, the warrant was to search his phone, not to force him to unlock it, which would be unconstitutional depending on how its locked. As noted in the video, the obsturction charge didnt stick.
I'm sure the city cops are completely innocent and the beef between departments has nothing to do with this. Plus who has the more powerful friends from judges to media will win out.
God this is SWEET justification knowing that the prick sheriff has probably done this to dozens of innocent victims. Thank you for posting this Detective Williams.
You think? Why? Because i find this so sad...really, really, sad! Chasing around the bush for 2 phones? That had to go smooth, get in, get the phones, get out! This is why the majority of people don't trust cops! And this is leaving me with bitter after taste!
@@DudditsJoeFinemusic When you understand that the Sheriff was refusing the warrants because he KNEW he was guilty of breaking the law, then all that sympathy disappears. It's not a case of chasing after phones, it's a case of exposing corruption. This is all too common among law enforcement agencies because they are allowed to police themselves. We need civilian oversight committees to stop the corruption.
Right? And when that one retarded one tried to keep the officer from forcing him back into the back door, you could almost hear the poop hitting his drawers.
70 years old! Just imagine the amounts of lives this corrupt and despicable being has destroyed and with how much criminal activity and corruption he has gotten away in all those years!
Kudos to the good cops for doing the right thing! Now, please investigate the Under Sheriff as well. Most police officers are outstanding people protecting us every day. It’s nice to see a corrupt one being arrested and held accountable.
People don't realize how much power a small town sheriff has. I used to work for one that was crooked as hell. I dared to question one of his decisions once and that was the end of my career. He tried to frame me for all kinds of crap because I stood up to him.
For that you need overwhelming evidence, and they know how to destroy evidence. Every precinct will typically work together on the same crimes, and they have absolute immunity if judges and neighboring law enforcement are supporting them. @@jaysonwallker1648
Sheriff is a County level, not town. Police = Town, Sheriff Office = County, and State Troopers/Police = State. The power dynamic depends on the state who supersedes who and in what instance of jurisdiction. For my state the Sheriff, an elected position, holds highest priority within their given county over both local Police and State Troopers operating within it spare specific circumstance or metro area police departments per a County ordinance. The most common specific circumstances are disciplinary actions against the Sheriff issued by the state AG or when there is a operation of a Federal Agency with another Agency involved. Federal agencies, ie the FBI, typically under most circumstances that operate within it's own limitations, supersede any local jurisdiction. So while Sheriffs can hold a lot of power due to being a County level enforcement, they still must adhere to the will of the County Executive (an elected position most voters overlook), State AG and Judiciary, and of course Federal power.
Imagine an innocent citizen dealing with this sheriff... that is scary... he thought he was above the law... wow, how many of these situations exist elsewhere?
Madison, Indiana only its worse, the fire dept goes and burns folks they don't like homes down for speaking against the corrupt law. The state fire Marshall's are even dirty. The fire chief Robert Black helped burn our house down. He was there before hours before house was on fire. The fire Marshal Joshua Watterson was part of the corruption. I've been a fire fighter in Texas for 20 yrs. I seen what caused the fire. It was oil thrown on roof. They said it was electrical. We turned power off when my family went out of town from outside breaker switch and locked braker housing. The lock was still on braker box and power switch off. Yes, I'm exposing the dirty fire Marshall and the chief, the fire dept is mostly drug abusers anyway. Never thought I would run into a corrupt fire department who would let meth heads be firefighters.
This entire video was an absolute rollerocaster. The fact they didn't arrest him sooner really blows my mind and makes me fearful of the other corrupt cops and politicians in charge.
At the time he was not under arrest. All he had to do was give his phone to the officer. Then later when he refuses to unlock his phone and comply. Then he was arrested.
There is no way to completely remove corruption from any law enforcement agency. Who guards the guards is a classic problem. Even the DOJ and FBI are full of corrupt agents. The only good thing is that it's better than most of the world. Tell a cop he should 1. Serve the public trust, 2. Protect the innocent, and 3. Uphold the law. He will laugh in your face, it's just so sad.
@@2nickles647Not the conclusion you should take. They showed him nore patience than they would if he was a regular civilian. They should've arrested him way earlier for obstruction
I love these videos showing corrupt cops being held accountable by good cops. They also show that when corruption occurs, it tends to be a department wide problem. Which is why you don't see a lot of bad cops being stopped by their partners and others in their department.
I think they had to treat it differently due to the sensitive nature. You or I wouldn’t have a swarm of armed law enforcement subordinates for a potential standoff.
Considering they are corrupt, you should definitely treat it as calmly and professionally as possible in order to avoid doing anything that could jeopardize the case. This should be obvious.
@@Shjeshje So tell me then, why should a corrupt cop get preferential treatment of any kind, He's a criminal, and being a cop, he's the absolute worst kind. He shouldn't be treated with kid gloves.... you or I sure won't be. Cops should be treated the same as anyone.
@@tea4223 I agree, though I think part of it is trying not to escalate the issue too much while in the belly of the beast. For all they knew, that entire office was complicit in the Sheriff's corruption and the situation could've been very dangerous.

@@dextersbeard3472 yes, it can be shocking. Like, being shot at by locals while camping and police protecting the attackers. Then there is the Battle of Athens. Honest people are sandwiched between gangs, one of them being police. At least unlike in my Australia, American police don't have a monopoly on violence. I read one story of an aristic liberal type woman moving to her mother's manor in a German country town. She wasn't a cultural fit with the locals, so to say, and eventually she was taken to the station on alleged DUI and beaten bloody.
I'm over 15 minutes in, he's been served with the papers and still the phones haven't been handed over. Not a chance in hell any regular person is afforded that kind of leniency. Crazy.
Deleting data from your phone is helpful to law enforcement. If you understood the back end you'd know that you're basically creating a single recoverable file that contains everything you don't want them to see in one place.
Seeing law enforcement take down _corrupt_ law enforcement is the *NUMBER ONE* thing they can do to restore faith in police. Not PR, not volunteering, not anything else. Just apply the law to their own people and do it immediately and publicly. They could change the ACAB opinions in a month of hard work.
They need to change how they interact with the public as well. The hate they justifiably receive didn't spring up from nowhere. There is a reason it's there, and it's growing. I'd say ask Orlando Castile about that, but you can't. He's dead. Pulled over for a broken tail light, died on Facebook live in front of the whole world, for nothing.
That is what happens when the deputies give their allegiance to the sheriff, before to the oath they swore. Sheriffs have way too much autonomy to run their department in any way they want.
There is something poetic about the sheriff crying that his cuffs hurt and the other deputies telling him they are loose. You know he's heard it a thousand times and never bat an eye 😅
@@MickLoud999 the sheriff had rigged several cases and had his entire police force following him rather than the law. They had swat because could you imagine a shootout between 2 police forces?
@@FaeraOthronus All he did was try to make sure he was being dealt with fairly. You don't have a clue how corrupt cops are do you? How many cops does it take to serve a simple warrant?

The undersheriff is the sneakiest person out of everyone. Siding with them saying “I’m not surprised you guys are doing this…you gotta do what you gotta do…I keep way out of it all” and as soon as his boss steps back out he’s back on his side again telling them to leave. I know people like him. They’re the worst. Side with whoever they are around at the time.

@@courtneylindsay7052 I'll explain because you're dumb. You have a right to an attorney when you are under arrest, which he wasn't. They had a WARRANT and it was signed by some high rank officials. If you do not comply immediately you should be arrested for obstruction but because this guy is a COP they showed him more patience than they normally would for a civilian
"This is our house"... actually that department belongs to the people. They think that they can operate without any oversight and do whatever they want. It's disgusting but they've been allowed to act like this since the inception of law enforcement in this country.
That's House, with a capital H. I understand that it reall is how they think of it. Not too surprising when you figure how much time they spend in there with their 'family in blue'.
Yeah for real. And either way, even if it was “their house,” it doesn’t matter. If a normal citizen said “this is MY house,” to them they would just bust down the walls to get in.

@@cb-tz8og Sheriff Lujan was sentenced to 3 years in jail plus 1.5 years probation on two felony convictions and plea bargained a third charge. He was taken into custody on Dec 2nd 2021. It was the Undersheriff that resigned to avoid a felony charge.
@Falcon-um7vo It's difficult to be convinced otherwise when you have personally witnessed atrocities being committed by the police. I also have seen many clips of police officers who get special treatment if they've committed a crime and some lengths police departments go to defend their reputation. Many people have good reasons for believing in what they believe in, including you. I by no means think that most cops are evil- most cops are trying to do the right thing but there is a handful who unfortunately ruin it for the rest of them. Cops are human, humans could do better.
You are seriously asserting that the percentage of corrupt law enforcement officers (in the United States, Im assuming) is "very low"? I just want to make sure I understand your argument.
@Falcon-um7vo I think you misinterpreted my reply and then became rude towards me as a result. I was simply adding to your comment by talking about how personal experience and other factors impact the way police is portrayed. I was not accusing you or implying anything negative about you or your comment- this is an example of situational hyper-awareness; in RUclips comments section it is common for people to disagree with eachother and be rude to eachother which is why you automatically had this predisposition to be defensive in RUclips comments because SOME people are toxic. Key word: SOME not all, and I was simply adding an innocent comment to start s conversation but I am being accused of misinterpreting and apparently implying that "You think all cops are not corrupt" (I am not an idiot and I didn't think you were either- why would I imply something so stupid). You extermely misinterpreted my comment and you have pissed me off & put me in a bad mood simply because you just wanted to spread hatred instead spreading happiness and having a civilised debate. That's not ok. Are you going to apologise or are you going to attack me further?
This sheriff been around 50 years as an officer. Can you imagine going and filing an assault charge against anyone of the 500 people he knows, the friends of those people, anyone of his officers, or anyone they know? Right, neither can I. The corruption is so pervasive in every single police department that this makes none of the police accountable, responsible to uphold the law, or trustable in any way. Each and all of the officers in this video violated a stack of laws, procedures, and enforcement requirements for the positions they are paid for.
It is a shame these cops don’t have the nerve to treat him like they treat the common, everyday citizen! he would have been face down in the dirt in a heartbeat. The undersheriff needs to be fired as well!
That's 'cause standing up to your boss in LE can lead you to getting fired or worse. Which means you can potentially get less or lose all of your benefits at the worst. In other words, these people aren't in it for the job, just the benefits in the end. That's how the police unions work - don't mess with your own kind and you'll be fine. Mess with everyone else and you'll still get your retirement and medical, etc. Perhaps even if you're busted for murder of a civilian.
It;s simple the USA is a police state. So what matters is how much power you can project. If you are powerfull they will thread you nicely. If you ain't they will use you.
I understand why they have to be careful, things could scalate in such situations since the sheriff has power and bruised ego. It's definitely a sensitive situation, not because they want to protect the sheriff, but because things could get violent and unsafe.
This lengthy "negotiations" would never happen with the general public with such a court order. He should have been arrested within the first 5 minutes!

Undersheriff Martin Trujillo was arrested following this incident for directing his deputies to point their fire arms at the officers serving the warrants. He was forced to retire in lieu of receiving any legal penalties.

During his trial sentencing (he was convicted, surprise surprise) his sons and friends submitted all these shining character recommendations about what a great man he is, and that the prosecution is "painting him as a monster."

The amount of effort it takes this police department to arrest just one corrupt sheriff is insane. I see why it’s so hard to hold police accountable in this country now.
This is exactly what law enforcement needs. Not a brotherhood that will defend each other through crime and corruption. A brotherhood that holds everyone accountable. I know my brothers wouldn't let me sink to the bottom. And if I did, they'd kick my ass.
If anyone else resisted a warrant like this, their schedule for the rest of the day would involve the emergency room and a jail cell. This is just an example of cops looking out for cops.

@@ADHDConfessionsofanuntre-xr1wv " these are moments this persons entire career, lifes work and possible freedom are crashing to the ground around them" No they aren't. It's serving a warrant for some phones. Watch the video. The guy himself is not under arrest. He is withholding evidence.
That sheriff office is about as corrupt as it comes. This Sheriff got three years in prison and the Sheriff before him got a ten year prison sentence and multiple underlings also are currently serving time in prison. We know how hard it is to get law enforcement officers prosecuted for their crimes and yet two Sheriffs in a row and their deputies ALL went to prison🤔
@@cletusaschoff7475 You can, it's covered in the 5th and 6th amendment. Once you invoke those rights, police can't do anything else without your attorney present, so in this case, it meant taking him straight to jail because the warrant is a legal court document, an attorney can not stop it, the only advice they would give you is to comply to the terms of the warrant, which the sheriff refused to do.
the whole concept of them allowing him to "clear it with his attorney first" is pitiful. if they came to any of OUR houses with those warrants, we would have to hand it over immediately.
yeah this is what killed me he was served the warrant and then handed the phone over maybe he coulda gotten away with it if he handed his deputy the phone before they showed up, but he had no right to give it to someone else after being served
The professional courtesy given to this guy was above and beyond what was reasonable, if a general member of the public did this they would have been riding the lightning 40 minutes ago this is absurd.
"Professional Courtesy" is nothing more than corrupt behavior. As a LEO why would you treat someone differently because they happen to be in the same line of work as you are.
Thought that was kinda funny too, but I think it was just friendly banter - he's in charge of the TAC team so he's got his hands full and they both knew it.

The sheriff knows that once presented with the search warrant, you must give up the goods. You don't get to consult with your attorney FIRST. These guys are so corrupt.
Imagine if any other person had done that. The cops aren't going to stand around politely letting you wander around playing with your phone after the warrant is served. You're going to get taken to the ground, tazed, cuffed, charged with resisting, and that phone's getting taken. Hell, they don't even let you read your copy of the warrant until AFTER it's actually been executed, most of the time.
Some good cops get framed by corrupt cops, in order to flip the onus, and continue their corrupt ways. Other good cops see it happen, and back off in fear that they might be next. This sheriff is bent as a corkscrew, and his underlings, are afraid to stir his wrath, or equally guilty. Keep up the good work, and clean house so we might eventually trust the Police once more.
Funny how when the police officer is served a court order and given lawful directives he does exactly what other criminals do - stalls for time, tries to conceal the evidence, tries to use tactics to make the the warrants appear unenforceable etc etc He becomes the person that he himself has probably arrested 100's of times 😂
As a non-US citizen I cant help but think that if this warrant was for a member of the general public and they behaved like this sheriff, they would get both their door and their teeth kicked in during the first 2 minutes.
This chief is the stereotypical image of the,”Good Ol’ Boy” way of policing from back in the day. He just never got the memo to stop acting and treating people in that manner.

HUGE props to the guy who served the warrant for the phones (the guy with the really short haircut), not only for that specific part, but this whole ordeal. He was very direct and not only kept his cool, but he also calmed down the others helping him who were blatantly disrespected by the perps. Excellent work!
Complete nonsense!! When he served the warrant, he should have immediately acted to seize and secure both phones, otherwise, the warrant isn't worth the paper its written on. He stood there like a dummy and allowed time for the Under Sheriff to delete any data/logs. In any professional police force .. he would have been sacked!! This is the shitty type of policing you get when you live in a country with a 'privatised' police force. More than 18.000 police agencies in the US!! What a fucking joke!
Calm he might have been, and that IS good. But allowing the perp to actually handle his phone after getting served for it? Was deeply unprofessional. Its rather obvious he was intimidated and wanted no trouble with fellow law enforcement, but that is a serious procedural mistake. No other suspect would ever be allowed something like that. If he had come under suspicion, that mistake could be construed as assisting in the obstruction. Should have taken it right away, no waiting around, letting the perp handle his phone, letting him go out of sight and try to drive off....
@@FischerNilsAI agree 💯% ... This guy wasn't as direct as he should have been! Given the circumstances, I get it..I would hate to be in his shoes! Most cops suck anyway!🤬
No special treatment should have ever been given. He had way too much time to destroy evidence. Those phones should have been forcefully taken away from the sheriff or undersheriff immediately. The fact that he resisted should have been the first clue to his corruption. I am so tired of our government officials being way more criminally active than people we label as criminals. Our society is so messed up
Disgusting double standards. Nowhere is free of corruption, but it left a bad taste in my mouth just how timid these cops were acting in the literal face of corruption. Look at the charges, too.

I think they didn't want to aggravate the situation. They specifically rolled up with multiple units because they feared the Sheriff's loyalties could result in something more than just talking, ya know?
This definitely needs to happen in small town America more often, instead of the cover-ups or early retirement. Because all that happens is they move somewhere else, become a peace/police officer, then do it all over again. There should be a law where, as if one retires early because of misconduct, they shouldn't be allowed to be an officer in any of the 50 states with the U.S. territories and D.C. as well!
They didnt really treat him right. They were WAY to gentle with him. Any normal citizen would have been smashed to the ground, phones taken away and maybe even shot.

I realize that the PD is trying to play nice because they need to maintain a professional relationship with the SD, but the warrant is for the phones, not for the person who is holding them. Passing the phone to a second party does not invalidate the court order, and the sheriff treating it like its some kind of protection against compliance is ludicrous. The Undersheriff is obstructing justice by refusing to hand over the phones, and I wish the PD had simply told him so.
Right...and why was HE not charged with obstruction as well? Withholding material evidence that is spelled out in a warrant is the definition of obstruction.
That deputy sheriff is even worse. He should be brought up on obstruction.
The irony of him whining about the cuffs when I'm sure most of the people he arrested or detained said the same thing and he ignored them is palpable
I thought he was going to start crying. They hurt. They hurt.
Yeah he’d say they aren’t supposed to be comfortable…
he's used to the fur lined ones that his under-sherriff usually uses on him

Sheriff was absolutely bewildered that the law applied to him.
I like how he’s been cuffing people for years and now all of a sudden they hurt
Right, and then he learned what applied to him in the only legal way,
I LOVE IT!🎯
he's used to the 99.9% of the time he gets away with breaking the law.
That was a pleasure to watch. A sheriff that obviously has been corrupt all his life and thought he was above the law
SMH...the Sheriff thinks HE gets to dictate how things go..... "You'll get my phones AFTER I clear it with my lawyer"...... imagine you or I saying that to this Sheriff if he showed up with a warrant for YOUR phone. He'd probably violently take you down and arrest you for obstruction.
Undoubtedly! Then he’d tack on more charges after roughing you up a bit, and treating you like an animal inside of his jail.
I think there's evidence of a murder on those phones
He DID dictate..temporarily. That's why public officials be treated with stronger hardship than the public, because their authority was ENTRUSTED to them..and they abused it.
I know I just robbed a bank officer, but I won't give you my guns and the money I stole until after I clear it with my lawyer!
In fairness, the warrant was to search his phone, not to force him to unlock it, which would be unconstitutional depending on how its locked. As noted in the video, the obsturction charge didnt stick.
The under sheriff is a corrupt cop too he needs to be investigated as well
They can do no wrong in their eyes.
I'm sure the city cops are completely innocent and the beef between departments has nothing to do with this. Plus who has the more powerful friends from judges to media will win out.
He got jail time.
God this is SWEET justification knowing that the prick sheriff has probably done this to dozens of innocent victims. Thank you for posting this Detective Williams.
I found it frustrating how p!ss weak the officers were the first day just allowing him to get away with his delaying antics.
Watching two groups of cops trying to exert their authority on each other is hilarious.
You think? Why? Because i find this so sad...really, really, sad!
Chasing around the bush for 2 phones? That had to go smooth, get in, get the phones, get out!
This is why the majority of people don't trust cops! And this is leaving me with bitter after taste!
@@DudditsJoeFinemusic When you understand that the Sheriff was refusing the warrants because he KNEW he was guilty of breaking the law, then all that sympathy disappears. It's not a case of chasing after phones, it's a case of exposing corruption. This is all too common among law enforcement agencies because they are allowed to police themselves. We need civilian oversight committees to stop the corruption.

Should have brought some state troopers in.
It's not just small towns.
For that you need overwhelming evidence, and they know how to destroy evidence. Every precinct will typically work together on the same crimes, and they have absolute immunity if judges and neighboring law enforcement are supporting them. @@jaysonwallker1648
@@jaysonwallker1648for real they don't play
Sheriff is a County level, not town. Police = Town, Sheriff Office = County, and State Troopers/Police = State. The power dynamic depends on the state who supersedes who and in what instance of jurisdiction. For my state the Sheriff, an elected position, holds highest priority within their given county over both local Police and State Troopers operating within it spare specific circumstance or metro area police departments per a County ordinance. The most common specific circumstances are disciplinary actions against the Sheriff issued by the state AG or when there is a operation of a Federal Agency with another Agency involved.
Federal agencies, ie the FBI, typically under most circumstances that operate within it's own limitations, supersede any local jurisdiction.
So while Sheriffs can hold a lot of power due to being a County level enforcement, they still must adhere to the will of the County Executive (an elected position most voters overlook), State AG and Judiciary, and of course Federal power.

At the time he was not under arrest. All he had to do was give his phone to the officer.
Then later when he refuses to unlock his phone and comply. Then he was arrested.
There is no way to completely remove corruption from any law enforcement agency. Who guards the guards is a classic problem. Even the DOJ and FBI are full of corrupt agents. The only good thing is that it's better than most of the world.

Seeing law enforcement take down _corrupt_ law enforcement is the *NUMBER ONE* thing they can do to restore faith in police. Not PR, not volunteering, not anything else. Just apply the law to their own people and do it immediately and publicly. They could change the ACAB opinions in a month of hard work.
True, it's incredibly satisfying to see the rot removed.
They need to change how they interact with the public as well. The hate they justifiably receive didn't spring up from nowhere. There is a reason it's there, and it's growing.

I was not accusing you or implying anything negative about you or your comment- this is an example of situational hyper-awareness; in RUclips comments section it is common for people to disagree with eachother and be rude to eachother which is why you automatically had this predisposition to be defensive in RUclips comments because SOME people are toxic.

That's 'cause standing up to your boss in LE can lead you to getting fired or worse. Which means you can potentially get less or lose all of your benefits at the worst. In other words, these people aren't in it for the job, just the benefits in the end. That's how the police unions work - don't mess with your own kind and you'll be fine. Mess with everyone else and you'll still get your retirement and medical, etc. Perhaps even if you're busted for murder of a civilian.
The only way to survive in a corrupt police force is to be corrupt as well.
@@phyrr2 I mean since they arrested him they already stood up to him and they might as well kick him like they used to kick ordinary citizen.
It;s simple the USA is a police state. So what matters is how much power you can project. If you are powerfull they will thread you nicely. If you ain't they will use you.

The amount of effort it takes this police department to arrest just one corrupt sheriff is insane. I see why it’s so hard to hold police accountable in this country now.
Same with politicians, judges, DAs, Prosecutors and more
The amount of money wasted to have a Mexican stand off over a phone was insane.
@@jrg4313 judges have immunity in their official duties.
Nowadays an honest sheriff would be called corrupt by the corrupt left,, because that's how they work. This country is in big trouble
Immunity from civil liability, you mean? They're certainly not immune from criminal prosecution for malfeasance in office. @@SomeBody-rm6hf
This is exactly what law enforcement needs. Not a brotherhood that will defend each other through crime and corruption. A brotherhood that holds everyone accountable. I know my brothers wouldn't let me sink to the bottom. And if I did, they'd kick my ass.
You think the other ones are the good guys? This is a coup, a hostile takeover of another gang.
If anyone else resisted a warrant like this, their schedule for the rest of the day would involve the emergency room and a jail cell. This is just an example of cops looking out for cops.
@@Chris-fn4df sure, but in all fairness this is the same that would go if a chief of surgery was being taken into custody at a hospital. its a normal kind of thing giving a professional courtesy among peers. these are moments this persons entire career, lifes work and possible freedom are crashing to the ground around them. in the end if the person ends up held to account just like anyone else thats the important thing. and thank god for bodycams. they are a game changer.
What brotherhood man, it's a job. They are and should only be colleagues. Nothing more and nothing less.
@@ADHDConfessionsofanuntre-xr1wv " these are moments this persons entire career, lifes work and possible freedom are crashing to the ground around them"
No they aren't. It's serving a warrant for some phones. Watch the video. The guy himself is not under arrest. He is withholding evidence.
The Sheriff must’ve not been kicking enough bribe money up the chain of command.
Who is up his chain to pay?
@@Fragrantbeard District attorneys, Judges, mayors/governors lol?
The sheriff and every other deputies in the office need fired and charged for disobeying a court order
The courts should be disobeyed. And why should they bow down to cops? Cops are nazis.
That sheriff office is about as corrupt as it comes. This Sheriff got three years in prison and the Sheriff before him got a ten year prison sentence and multiple underlings also are currently serving time in prison. We know how hard it is to get law enforcement officers prosecuted for their crimes and yet two Sheriffs in a row and their deputies ALL went to prison🤔
The undersheriff turned himself in as well several days later.
@@darkside_xposure I actually think once detained a person should be able to talk to a lawyer once warrant given before search
@@cletusaschoff7475 You can, it's covered in the 5th and 6th amendment. Once you invoke those rights, police can't do anything else without your attorney present, so in this case, it meant taking him straight to jail because the warrant is a legal court document, an attorney can not stop it, the only advice they would give you is to comply to the terms of the warrant, which the sheriff refused to do.
the whole concept of them allowing him to "clear it with his attorney first" is pitiful. if they came to any of OUR houses with those warrants, we would have to hand it over immediately.
yeah this is what killed me
he was served the warrant and then handed the phone over
maybe he coulda gotten away with it if he handed his deputy the phone before they showed up, but he had no right to give it to someone else after being served
...or been murdered.
@@notsewdarb9972 Not if you don’t do stupid shit
Bingo!
Hey that's amerika 😂😂😂
The professional courtesy given to this guy was above and beyond what was reasonable, if a general member of the public did this they would have been riding the lightning 40 minutes ago this is absurd.
The general public would have had their door kicked, walls taken out, and flash banged to hell! This was beyond professional courtesy. It’s sad
Or maybe tazed or shot.
Imagine if the sheriff was a 28 year old black man. They'd have just gone straight for the air strike.
"Professional Courtesy" is nothing more than corrupt behavior. As a LEO why would you treat someone differently because they happen to be in the same line of work as you are.
@@jaysonwallker1648I'm pretty sure that's what riding the lightning means (tased)
These old men think they’re untouchable.
I wonder how many times he has stepped all over a citizen’s rights !!
2 billion times. He's old enough to have.
"pls do something about that", "you're the supervisor so it's gonna be on you" then half smirks. He's so glad he's not the supervisor on this case😂😂
Thought that was kinda funny too, but I think it was just friendly banter - he's in charge of the TAC team so he's got his hands full and they both knew it.
Exactly. This sheriff been around 50 years as an officer. Can you imagine going and filing an assault charge against anyone of the 500 people he knows, the friends of those people, anyone of his officers, or anyone they know? Right, neither can I. The corruption is so pervasive in every single police department that this makes none of the police accountable, responsible to uphold the law, or trustable in any way. Each and all of the officers in this video violated a stack of laws, procedures, and enforcement requirements for the positions they are paid for.
The sheriff knows that once presented with the search warrant, you must give up the goods. You don't get to consult with your attorney FIRST. These guys are so corrupt.
Imagine if any other person had done that. The cops aren't going to stand around politely letting you wander around playing with your phone after the warrant is served. You're going to get taken to the ground, tazed, cuffed, charged with resisting, and that phone's getting taken. Hell, they don't even let you read your copy of the warrant until AFTER it's actually been executed, most of the time.
@@Wrenchmonkey1 You know that's what most of the viewing audience was screaming when they watched this.
I don't get the part where they trying to make him unlock his phones
@@shelbysanders8466
They are trying to compel him to give them access to the contents of his phone. What's not to understand?
small police services at their finest.
This is what happens when the sheriff thinks he is above the law !
It's about time bent cop's like him knows what it feels like to be cuffed and treated like the criminal he is.
Ouch! They hurt. If he was guilty why not just hand over the phones and go to Mexico? Why go through all this embarrassment?
Lujan is a DEMOCRAT. It’s amazing that you’re actually surprised that he is corrupt.
@@tntkop what does that have to do with him crying about the cuffs d-bag?
Amen!
@@tntkoprepublican, democrat… they’re all the same
"This is our house"
"Well right now, it's ours"
Brilliantly handled.
This needs to keep happening. There are good police out there that are too afraid of reprisal to speak up.
Not in the cities
Amen. There are a lot of good police.
Cowards are not good police. There are good police, but as I wrote, cowards are not good police.
as long as they turn a blind eye to the bad ones, they arent good.@@smokeylovesfire1589
Some good cops get framed by corrupt cops, in order to flip the onus, and continue their corrupt ways. Other good cops see it happen, and back off in fear that they might be next.
This sheriff is bent as a corkscrew, and his underlings, are afraid to stir his wrath, or equally guilty.
Keep up the good work, and clean house so we might eventually trust the Police once more.
This is beautiful. All departments need to arrest oneanother.
but then there would be no one left.
Funny how when the police officer is served a court order and given lawful directives he does exactly what other criminals do - stalls for time, tries to conceal the evidence, tries to use tactics to make the the warrants appear unenforceable etc etc
He becomes the person that he himself has probably arrested 100's of times 😂
And his peers have zero problem allowing _their own_ gang members to commit as many crimes as they want, because "MuH tHiN bLuE LiNe" 🤦💀😂🐷
ThE hAnDcUFfS hURt
right police officers should not be acting like the animals they are supposed to teach a lesson too. really bad example of behavior
sounds like trump
yea and complained the handcuffs hurt, I loved that part.
As a non-US citizen I cant help but think that if this warrant was for a member of the general public and they behaved like this sheriff, they would get both their door and their teeth kicked in during the first 2 minutes.
Pretty much yes
You would be right.
Not any more since everybody has a camera and there is also strong public opinion about use of force by law enforcement.
@@manjelos Bullshit
@@manjelosEveryone has a camera, yes. But these cops still do rotten things all the time. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
This chief is the stereotypical image of the,”Good Ol’ Boy” way of policing from back in the day. He just never got the memo to stop acting and treating people in that manner.
Do you mean the sheriff? The chief is the one who's arrested him.
Cops surround person with gun's, I feel threatened.
Cops surrounding cops with guns, cops feel threatened....
Him complaining about the handcuffs being too tight is just unbelievable and the PD is so patient with him compared to how civilians are treated.
I have seen some civilians treated pretty well too though
@@dannyc7227 The more common scenario is face down on the ground with a knee in his back and guns drawn at his head for not complying instantly with police instructions.
Whining about the "tightness" of handcuffs is common with criminals who don't want to be in them.
@@artgoat , I would disagree that being the most common scenario… even if you think it happens a lot. Probably 90% of all police interactions (most likely closer to 99%) end with no guns drawn.
@@dannyc7227 When people cooperate fully, that might be true (video evidence and personal experience of family members notwithstanding). In the case of belligerent arguments, lack of respect for the badge, refusal to obey instructions and obstruction of process? The average person would find things escalate VERY fast.
HUGE props to the guy who served the warrant for the phones (the guy with the really short haircut), not only for that specific part, but this whole ordeal. He was very direct and not only kept his cool, but he also calmed down the others helping him who were blatantly disrespected by the perps. Excellent work!
Complete nonsense!!
When he served the warrant, he should have immediately acted to seize and secure both phones, otherwise, the warrant isn't worth the paper its written on.
He stood there like a dummy and allowed time for the Under Sheriff to delete any data/logs.
In any professional police force .. he would have been sacked!!
This is the shitty type of policing you get when you live in a country with a 'privatised' police force. More than 18.000 police agencies in the US!!
What a fucking joke!
he deserves to be police chief. he understands justice
Excellent job!!! Well done!
Calm he might have been, and that IS good.
But allowing the perp to actually handle his phone after getting served for it? Was deeply unprofessional.
Its rather obvious he was intimidated and wanted no trouble with fellow law enforcement, but that is a serious procedural mistake. No other suspect would ever be allowed something like that.
If he had come under suspicion, that mistake could be construed as assisting in the obstruction.
Should have taken it right away, no waiting around, letting the perp handle his phone, letting him go out of sight and try to drive off....
@@FischerNilsAI agree 💯% ... This guy wasn't as direct as he should have been! Given the circumstances, I get it..I would hate to be in his shoes! Most cops suck anyway!🤬
No special treatment should have ever been given. He had way too much time to destroy evidence. Those phones should have been forcefully taken away from the sheriff or undersheriff immediately. The fact that he resisted should have been the first clue to his corruption. I am so tired of our government officials being way more criminally active than people we label as criminals. Our society is so messed up
...and the phones not taken into another room out of the view of police.
Disgusting double standards. Nowhere is free of corruption, but it left a bad taste in my mouth just how timid these cops were acting in the literal face of corruption.
Look at the charges, too. Slaps on the wrist. Why is there no law for public employees who violate the public trust and treat laws and protocol as tools for their own gains.
sounds like the CLOWN
This Sheriff is a piece of work, NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!
Wow. The entitlement with this guy is crazy. Scary to think of all the shady shit hes gotten away with over the years.
It's not entitlement, it's desperation. He KNOWS he's cornered. He's trying to find wiggle room to let him salvage/control the situation.
Under sheriff next, that POS got on my nerves.
@@darkeather2well the 3 years in prison he got should be enough time to find the wiggle room you’re talking about 🤣
@@alvaroq2024 I wonder if all that time except 1 hour a day will be spent in isolation? Because he has a great big target on his back and Bubba will be looking for him. I wouldn't want to be him when the other prisoners find out he was a Sheriff.

What a baby! “The handcuffs hurt!“ He’s saying all the same things criminals say “Am I under arrest?” I love it when it comes back to these dirty cops. They don’t deserve to wear the badge and they give a bad name to all those wonderful, amazing police officers and deputies and sheriffs we have in this country.
He acted like a spoiled child who got caught with his hands in the cookie jar 😂
Like 22:58 and 26:22. Not unlike a four year old.
at SEVENTY YEARS OLD TOO !!!
Having dealt with these clowns before I can honestly just savor these 27 minutes full of joy.

Lock him up in prison please
Love how patient the cops were with the sheriff. If that was a regular Joe obstructing the cops like that he'd have been tazed and face planted to the floor in seconds.
not those cops they have training the city and county cops are the dicks that treat people like shit i had trouble with a county and a costable were going to taze and peper spraw me the state cop put those two in the place and told them to shut up i was at home me my dad got into it none of us called them
I think they didn't want to aggravate the situation. They specifically rolled up with multiple units because they feared the Sheriff's loyalties could result in something more than just talking, ya know?
is that so? I presume you have evidence to back up that statement.
@@Dalls105 yeah sure. There are thousands of police interactions on RUclips, especially a channel called Audit the Audit. Go check them out.
Yeah but they dont care to aggavate the situation when it comes to dealing with everyday people@@Steampunk_Kak
This definitely needs to happen in small town America more often, instead of the cover-ups or early retirement. Because all that happens is they move somewhere else, become a peace/police officer, then do it all over again. There should be a law where, as if one retires early because of misconduct, they shouldn't be allowed to be an officer in any of the 50 states with the U.S. territories and D.C. as well!
"How do you know?" "Because it's Phil!"😂
Never saw the second day footage before. They treated him like the criminal he is. There are some good cops out there!
If most cops were good it wouldn't take two tries.
@@notgnar8506
he didnt say "most". he said "some".
I didn't quote him or say that he did, it's called "conversation".@@sabin97
They didnt really treat him right. They were WAY to gentle with him. Any normal citizen would have been smashed to the ground, phones taken away and maybe even shot.
I absolutely loved watching this. Whatever is in that phone, he knows its gonna cook his ass. It's amazing how these small town sheriffs think the law doesn't apply to them. If I were the chief; that under sheriff would be up on obstruction charges as well. SWAT said, " let him stand outside." Best video I've seen on RUclips in months!!
Fascists think the law doesn't apply to them. The U.S. is teeming with fascists like these assholes.
What disgraceful behaviour .Very hard to believe the level of corruption.. The smugness and sheer arrogance of that Sheriff is mind-blowing.
That ain't nothin, they are all like that... me now, or else.
It's not that hard to believe if you are paying attention. No Disrepect
this is fairly normal sheriff behavior
Chief is a legend laying down the law on ANYONE who breaks it now that’s protecting and serving right there good stuff!
