We need civilian oversight committees to stop the corruption.

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.

yes. i find that anytime i have not been brushed up on something i know of from the past of over 5 years, certainly 7-10 i am hesitant to state certainty about it. things are changing so fast its best to realize that you likely dont know the current state of affairs, esp with tech or regs.
Deleting data from your phone is helpful to law enforcement. If you understood how it was extracted on the back end you'd know that all you're doing is basically creating single recoverable file that contains everything you don't want them to see in one place.
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.
To be honest, the Police really exasperated that entire situation. There is no way they would have been so “patient” with anyone else. Do your job fairly and equally!!!
You want them to aggressively barge into the sheriff's office and make it into a gun fight? Got any sense? This is the way you can do it with armed men...
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.
Love how the guy talks himself into getting arrested. "Am I under arrest?" "Not now, you're not." "If I'm detained and not free to leave, I must be under arrest, and therefore I invoke my right to an attorney." "Cool, you're under arrest. Book him." "Book me for what?!" Dude... *you argued that you were under arrest*. How are you then going to yell about "under arrest for what?"
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. You think a den full of gangsters is dangerous, try a den of corrupt cops with firearms training.
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!
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.
Im convinced that the longer and the more senior you become in the police force, the more scrutiny you should fall under. It inevitably becomes a tyranny.
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.
@@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.
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
The corruption in that dept starts at the top and goes all the way down. The Sheriff went to prison if that tells you anything. The under sheriff should’ve been arrested for obstruction too.
Excellent that you expose this sort of carry on…, I’m super glad that here in NZ we have very different & professional policing …, still always need to keep an eye authorities
There is something poetic about the chief 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 😅
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.
@@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.
It's amazing how considerate these cops are of a fellow LEO even when he's being arrested. Anybody else who acted like him would have been thrown to the ground and tasered and charged with Resisting Arrest and Obstructing An Investigation and maybe even Assaulting A Police Officer for doing the same things he did. I guess charges of corruption don't mean much to a bunch of other corrupt people.
Imagine if a civilian acted like this Sheriff. There would have been no patience and no respect. Face down on the ground with pepper spray and tasers. It's amazing how someone can be blatantly in the wrong and his buddies still back him up.
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.
@@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?

@@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.
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.
If this was a regular person, these cops would have had them on the ground, in cuffs, in about 10 seconds flat. But because he's a Cop, he gets the "kid gloves" treatment.. pathetic..
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.
If this CLEARLY CORRUPT cop is finally being brought down this late in his career, we can only imagine how many crimes he’s committed throughout his years in law enforcement.
Why give kudos for doing their job? And how many sheriff's didnt do their jobs by letting this nonsense continue? These corrupt cops dont pop up over night and they damn sure dont do ot by themselves.
@@averageaple6789 He's giving kudos for exactly that reason. Its good to praise when people do the right thing, especially when we know others wouldn't have done so - even if it's their job to do it.
People shouldn't get massive raises for just doing their job. Police not doing their job is why this seems like such an anomaly. She shouldn't be rewarded, the entire law enforcement field needs to be heavily investigated by an outside party. This sheriff is one of many.

"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.
not really though, you clearly have no understanding of most pricincts and are just going off your emotions and what you hear from other RUclips comments. Lmao, internet lawyers make me laugh
@@citytrees1752 Let me put it this way. If the guy made a deal with the devil where it was agreed that he would get away with his crimes for one lifetime before he got caught, the devil held up his end of the deal.

"During my time as a Secret Service agent, I was all over the world working with different law enforcement agencies - big ones, small ones, rich ones, poor ones," Maez said, "and I have never, ever had the experience of dealing with a law enforcement agency like that of Sheriff Lujan's.
Just IMAGINE the cops showing up to a CIVILIANS house, with a search warrant to seize cell phones...and YOU claiming you refused until you spoke to your attorney...you going in and out of unsupervised rooms, etc? LMAO, there is NO WAY they would allow that.
@robertbarker5474 no you would be on the floor tased and shackled, charged with resisting, obstruction, and endangering the other clowns arresting you.
@@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
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.
@@willyperez2475same thing with God though. he running around israel getting little girls pregnant then he hired a contractor to be the the stepdaddy. God out here bustin illegal nuts😂
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.
Undersheriff should be indicted too and anyone under LUJAN should be fired.. they stood by a man instead of following the law.. they swore an oath.. they broke it.. FIRE THEM
@@N1120A im referring to the undersheriff. he received NO jail time and was allowed to retire with his pension in tact.. Lujan got a jail sentence but these unions are powerful and as such he will very likely lose NONE of his pension
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.
I love seeing good cops doing their jobs. Watching videos on these types of channels really shows me that the police are people. There are both good and bad, and I like that these channels highlight both sides. The point is, though, we shouldn't have to rely on their "goodness" to keep fair lawful order. There need to be more legislation on policing so that good cops like these don't have to jump through so many hoops to keep their own accountable. Cops are not all bad, but bad apples spoil the rest. I've never understood the "there's just a few bad apples" argument. Yes. I agree. And the origin of the bad apples phrase is that they spoil the rest of the apples and that you should throw them out. VERY rarely happens though
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!
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.

i've watched too many of these now, what sticks out to me is being put in handcuffs really seems to be what breaks the bad cops, they really hate it and clearly find that more degrading then actually being charged
I think it makes the situation real
Charges aren't visibly embarrassing, cops like him have huge egos and the image of him being a criminal is what he hates the most, not the actual criminal activity.
"giving him ample time to delete crucial information" This doesn't concern law enforcement anymore. There are tools to recover deleted data
And it will probably show what he deleted and when, which makes it worse for him.
yes. i find that anytime i have not been brushed up on something i know of from the past of over 5 years, certainly 7-10 i am hesitant to state certainty about it. things are changing so fast its best to realize that you likely dont know the current state of affairs, esp with tech or regs.
Deleting data from your phone is helpful to law enforcement. If you understood how it was extracted on the back end you'd know that all you're doing is basically creating single recoverable file that contains everything you don't want them to see in one place.

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.
Watching his reaction to becoming powerless is epic. Shows what he really is inside.
To be honest, the Police really exasperated that entire situation. There is no way they would have been so “patient” with anyone else. Do your job fairly and equally!!!
You want them to aggressively barge into the sheriff's office and make it into a gun fight? Got any sense? This is the way you can do it with armed men...
They really exacerbated it as well.
Being from NM, and having been harassed by these same officers, I can't tell you how much joy this brings to my heart...

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.
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.
The under sheriff handing over the phones is a real piglet... Their police station behaves like a private club, thinking they are above the Law.
Love how the guy talks himself into getting arrested. "Am I under arrest?" "Not now, you're not." "If I'm detained and not free to leave, I must be under arrest, and therefore I invoke my right to an attorney." "Cool, you're under arrest. Book him." "Book me for what?!" Dude... *you argued that you were under arrest*. How are you then going to yell about "under arrest for what?"

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.
It was so satisfying to hear his talk about the cuffs being uncomfortable 😂
Im convinced that the longer and the more senior you become in the police force, the more scrutiny you should fall under. It inevitably becomes a tyranny.
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?

"I am the law" - Sheriffs for centuries
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.

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.

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.
I love seeing good cops doing their jobs. Watching videos on these types of channels really shows me that the police are people. There are both good and bad, and I like that these channels highlight both sides. The point is, though, we shouldn't have to rely on their "goodness" to keep fair lawful order. There need to be more legislation on policing so that good cops like these don't have to jump through so many hoops to keep their own accountable. Cops are not all bad, but bad apples spoil the rest.
I've never understood the "there's just a few bad apples" argument. Yes. I agree. And the origin of the bad apples phrase is that they spoil the rest of the apples and that you should throw them out. VERY rarely happens though
This is the best eye opening channel ever
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!
You're darn tootin.
Absolutely!
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.
that undersheriff is the biggest weasel
We need more of this. We need to keep cops accountable so that we can maintain trust in our police force.
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.
Looks like the whole sheriffs department needs to be investigated thoroughly.
for donuts
It’s so funny how he literally looks like the stereotypical corrupt sheriff lmao
One of the best vids ive ever seen
the entire department needs to be investigated
Wrong, the department needs to be commended.
Sheriffs office on the other hand…. Burn it down.
