- Detroit police officers that interrogated and later arrested a woman for credit card fraud may have violated her constitutional rights during her interrogation, according to two independent legal experts.
The DA willing to try the case should be held accountable along with the police involved.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!!!!
They have immunity so they do whatever they want and don't care if you are guilty or innocent
Libs run the courts enjoy
This is how the justice department treat people
@@silentmajority8365 Careful bud you are throwing up all over the internet
Sue everyone involved. They cost her, her job and her home. I hope she wins millions.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
She cost those things herself for going to the police station without an attorney. She deserves everything she got. At least now, she has learned a valuable lesson to keep her mouth shut when dealing with the police.
@@RuthPreach you talking as crazy as you want us to believe her actions were. Geeze, ignorance at its best!
@@Niagrafalls Perhaps I was a bit harsh, but only a mentally challenged person would do what she did.
@@RuthPreach I think you want to jump off a cliff... miserable ahhs ruth.
A lawsuit is her only option. She's lost her job and her home because cops were lazy and violated her rights. DA was hugely incompetent to even bring the case to trial. This is likely common practice in Detroit. It's got to stop.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!!!!
The cops would kill you before they wrote you a check let's not be children
And still can’t find a job either. Poor lady
That's what they do
They weren't lazy. They don't care if the person is innocent. They wanted to bust her and they did it. The DA is complicit. It's always guilty until proven innocent.
This is reaching ! She deserves a $2 million lawsuit for Wrongful everything
She should offer to settle only on the condition that every one of those despicable cops is terminated. If I were on the jury and the city refused to settle on those terms, there's no limit to the amount of money I would happily award her.
@@barbarakiewe2870 you’re right. I didn’t even think that far. I’m just like flabbergasted how they were able to twist a good Samaritan act into her conspiring to commit credit card fraud . I have done that plenty of times outside of my job and especially within my job so it’s ludicrous for these detectives to not pursue the truth but just randomly frame someone …… if it can happen to her it can happen to us. Those cops need to be fired cuz they are not only incompetent but they have done wrong and destroyed an innocent woman’s life
The tactic that you see being used against her is how they do every single interrogation. Once you are in that room, they do not care if you are innocent or not they just want you to either admit to something you didn't do or they want you to sign an apology letter that they have already written for you
@@barbarakiewe2870 They would have to get rid of every single officer that's ever stepped into an interrogation room if they get rid of these police. The techniques they used against her is text book
I was thinking bout 20, but 2 is a good start. If they gone fire the cops involved and the prosecutor too.
The second she asked for an attorney they were required to cease questioning her.
But I'm sure they will investigate themselves and determine they did nothing wrong.
They never ever let you get a lawyer. Once you're in that room and they already owe your rights, they basically just drill you and drill you until you either admit to a crime that you didn't commit or they just get you all upset have you answer a bunch of questions to try to build a case and then arrest you
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
Be a cop
Oh wait your side is committing all the crime
FYI the Miranda decision was caused because an illegal raped robbed murdered a woman and claimed he did not understand his rights so his confession was thrown out
That is what they want to do. So many years and crimes committed and people in jail without the video we just saw. Poor lady even her family won't believe her.
She could have stopped talking.
Judge you are a man with good sense. Seems to be something in short supply these days.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
Thank God! It’s good to know there are some good ones too. That poor lady!
She asked for an attorney more than once and they kept questioning her. That's all you need
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
Exactly!! That’s all she needs to carry them to court
She did request an attorney.. more than once.
Why do you think Ms Wilson kept talking after that? What should she have done?
She must have felt scared, and pressured to keep answering their questions!
@@Valen_Wolf it was up to her to STFU. her fault she kept talking
@@Valen_Wolf - And sadly it was clear she didn't know her rights. After asking for a lawyer, shut up, don't answer ANY questions and say NOTHING more to the cops.
It's only because we have cameras everywhere that we're able to catch these crooks.
... The cops.
Absolutely!! Just think 🤔 what injustices were done prior to cameras
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
These idiot cops couldn't fine stripes on a zebra!!!!!
This is why some cops will wrestle or snatch smartphone out of your hand when you are recording them.
AND, social media!
They have pics of the criminal using the credit card at plenty of stores but don't want to find her, it was much more fun harrassing this kind hearted woman. It don't pay to be kind anymore.

Never did pay to be kind. You get walked all over and treated terribly. Only assholes thrive in this world.
@@SnerMerNer What can you do if you are kind person and don't know anything else
@@Johnniedallas214 still trying to figure that one out for myself
See a cop in mortal danger, leave him to it. Otherwise, you will likely be charged for aiding and abetting or some other b/s charge if his/ her colleagues dont shoot you first. They actively create the hate for themselves.

No different than most PDs.
dude, screw off, detroit police have a hard job. stop acting like idiots, maybe you'll be happier in the long run.
Sue them for everything… it’s just crazy how a job that relies on investigative skills somehow always miss the mark…
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
Actually investigating crimes would take away from donut-eating time.
That's becouse the officers they hire are not intelligent enough to investigate. When you hire people whit low intelligence how can you expect them to make competent choices??
That the DA would even TRY to argue that she was not entitled to an attorney because she hadn't been arrested yet is just unbelievably stupid.
They had her sign her Miranda rights! There is literally a piece of paper with her signature and that of the detective saying, "YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY"!
This isn't mere incompetence. It's outright corruption. Deliberate knowing subversion of the law.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
😮
When people don't know their rights, the police can continue to violate a person's rights. The police count on people being ignorant of those rights.
Under a new decision by the courts police no longer need to read your Miranda rights.
"The so-called “Miranda warning,” routinely administered by American law enforcement since the 1960s, came into the national spotlight last week when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that police officers can't be sued for not advising detained suspects of their right to remain silent during an interrogation."
@@crazyknarf No, that's wrong. That court ruling has nothing to do with the case in the video and doesn't really change much of anything. Basically, it EXPLICITLY says that police cannot be sued for failing to inform people of their Miranda rights... which isn't really a change because under the doctrine of qualified immunity police can't be sued for ANYTHING they do as part of their duties unless the courts have specifically said that they CAN be sued for that specific thing previously. So until now they couldn't be sued for failing to mirandize because the courts hadn't said that they could, and now they can't be sued because the courts have said that they can't. No real change.
It also doesn't change the fact that if they DON'T inform you of your Miranda rights then any testimony / evidence they gather as a result cannot be used in court. So yeah, they still "need to read your Miranda rights" just as much as they did before.
Never ever ever ever talk to police. You don't have to help police. You get stressed and do mistakes.
WXYZ Health Alert!
hope she wins her lawsuit but unfortunately the cops wont learn anything or even care. Never talk to police no matter how innocent you think you are and this is a perfect example of why you should not.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
Cuz that lawsuit money don't come out they pocket
I am never touching someone else's property.
Thank God for a righteous judge. I'm so sorry they did this to you Mam.
That is so funny!!! So the cops are saying she was not in "custody" until they handcuffed??? I guess they forgot that they had her read her rights and initial. Which states ( You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning).
You do not have to be in handcuffs to be considered to be in custody. If any reasonable person believes they are not allowed to leave, than they are in custody.
Brought her into a room and had her signing papers, she was absolutely detained
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
Since when do they read anyone that writes in Michigan
In this case both the reading of Miranda warnings and whether she was in custody or not is irrelevant.
Miranda Warnings have nothing to do with a civil rights violation. You can't sue based on Miranda warnings. Being in custody or not only dictates if Miranda is required for statements to be used against them. These are evidence suppression questions not rights violation questions.
For a rights violation the only question is: Did the person affirmly evoke their rights and did the questioning continue.
They also brought multiple officers into the room once the interrogation got a little emotional, which is a show of force, which is another way of letting the person know that they are not in control of this situation and they are not allowed to leave.
It is all implied.
She got evicted. This is where the DPD gets the money and steps forward to take care of her housing. Bills. Everything. Step up DPD!
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
If life was only that cut and dry! Instead they mad because the judge dismissed a case that never should have gone to trial! I hope they settle so she can get her life back!
Why would DPD do that?
Those idiot cops should be fired for their incompetence and bogus and illegal charges.
The judge was amazing.
he did in fact honor his oath
Good on him. We need judges with morals and brain cells.
I can't even tell you the number of times I've found something and immediately returned it to a customer service desk. Someone once left their purse in a cart outside of a grocery store. I pushed the entire cart into the store, up to the customer service counter, never touching the purse, a bit nervous the whole time. When I made it there, I immediately let them know and walked away.
Most recently at the same grocery store-- years apart-- as I was walking up to a self-service register, the man ahead of me requested cashback but forgot to grab it. As soon as I saw it, I started yelling, "Sir, sir!" He didn't hear me but I told the attendant and asked him to stop him. He did and also came over to grab the money. The guy whose money it was looked at me crazy, as if I had done something wrong and thanked the attendant. The attendant came over and thanked me while acknowledging that most probably would have taken it. Well, I'm not "most people"-- I have morals, a conscience, and am blessed. I don't know what was going through that guy's head but it definitely wasn't gratitude. Glad my hands were too full to touch that money. After watching this video, even for something as cut and dry, I won't be touching anybody anything.
Justice for Ms. Wilson! 🙏🏾
Well you did the right thing, you gave it to someone at the store. The wrong thing is what she did when she gave the card to someone without making sure it was actually their card. She only asked if they left a card inside, she never asked for the name on the card or ask for additional ID. She thought that she was doing the right thing, but she actually aided the theft to some extent. But is her poor judgment, or negligence equal a crime?
Disgusting, they made this woman lose her job and put her under emotional and financial stress. Now they trying to not admit their wrong and rectify the situation. For anyone else. Better to just give the lost credit card or wallet to the clerk. They can hold it until the owner remembers. Its their business and customer. I lost my passport and wallet at a pizza joint and after two or three weeks ordered another pizza and the joint kept my item but gave it to me when they saw me again.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
wonder if the place she worked all of a sudden is making more money.
Someone should make a "50 biggest screwups" video of the DA doing things like this and make it really popular about the time the DA goes for their next run at public office.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
It’s not hard to track someone who uses a credit card. Those cops are inadequate, just look at how they treated Miss WIlson, do you really think those cops are ready to do some real detective work and find the thief?
WXYZ Health Alert!
Exactly, they have the woman’s face in the gas station footage, her card info after paying, and they should be able to see the license plate of the van she got in. Absolutely stupid
Of course not. They would rather arrest an innocent person, try tricking her into a confession, hurry up and fill out her paperwork so they can go home. The problem with most police departments is that they Perfected the practice of "Quiet Quitting" about 7 decades ago...
@@giaelie3283they didn’t trick her, she was the one that claimed that she gave the card to the clerk which the video shows she didn’t. And what would a guilty person say, would they admit they took the card? She was the last person seen with the card, there was no video that showed who she gave the card to. The person that left the card was the one that went to the police (most likely) and she would have told the police that she wasn’t the one Wilson gave the card to in the van. So it goes back to why did Wilson give the card to someone else? Was she in on it, or was she just careless and gave the card to the wrong person. She was the only lead to the crime and when she “lied” about who she gave the card to, it was enough evidence to charge her with the crime or being involved in it.
The person that really messed up was her attorney. He should have gotten the video and had her go through what she did, like she told the reporter. Then he should have brought that information to the DA and demanded that the charges should be dropped. Or file a motion with the court to have it dropped. The whole thing could have been settled in a couple days. Now her lawyer is trying to cover his ass by suing the city. And I am sure he will get paid whether she wins the case or not.
@@mopar_dude9227 The police had the evidence before an attorney was even called. Why didn't they watch the tapes?? They still haven't found the actual person who used the card illegally..and needed someone to punish. They didn't bother to look at all the evidence because they did Not want to see anything else..they had already made up their minds who was guilty. You cannot find what you never bother to look for..especially the Truth.
This shows how quickly your life can be ruined by police who are so callous they take this as a days work. Along with the fact that friends and relatives turn on you because it is the police as your accuser so they must be right. Trying to get work after that comes up on your background check is hopeless. Try explaining it was a mistake and see what people tell you. Your life is never the same, and it follows you where ever you go.
Tom Unlawful arrest and kidnapping for starters.
Yep I felt so bad for her especially when she says “y’all ruined my life”and she hadn’t been arrested yet. I bet everything after that was a nightmare! 😢
Is there no way for them to clear this off her record completely? I had a case against me that was not just dropped but discharged and all records were destroyed, fingerprints, etc. I am in Canada, if they wouldn't have properly removed it from my record I wouldn't even be able to cross the border into the US and I am so I know they did do that properly. This is so unfair to her, she was an honest person and it all goes to shit because of lazy cops. Wow.
@@mtaylor1498 I had this happen to me through identity theft. Even though I was exonerated, there is still a record that it happened. It still follows you around. Most employers would just rather not deal with it. It is much easier to hire someone that doesn't have the baggage. Mine happened in the late 90s. I watched my prospects dry up pretty quick. Once you drop in income, people give up on you.
@@tomdecuca3627 I am so sorry that happened to you, if you are exonerated there should be a way to scrub the record from your file so it doesn’t follow you around. When they confirmed mine was cleared it was such a huge weight that was lifted, an innocent person shouldn’t have to carry that around.
If her right to an attorney doesn't apply because she wasn't in "custody," then why read to her "you have the right to an attorney present during any and all questioning?"
If lawyers and judges need degrees in law then police need to go to school for law before they ever strap a gun and handcuffs on. They have to provide their own insurance and that stupid qualified immunity needs to go away so they will slow their role knowing if they mess up it's Literally their ass !!!
Not every judge has a law degree. Depends on the state/type of court. Only 28 states require law degrees to be a judge or put people in jail.
Totally agree. Most don't even know the laws they are charging people for they leave it to a judge to decide.
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
@@AcerbicOrder that's an interesting tidbit. i didn't know that but will definitely research that. thank you
Not all judges have law degrees. Some have no legal back ground.
When I see all law enforcement. I think of them as a scheme .
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
They finally deleted the Twitter post that made her look like a criminal, but they NEVER posted an apology for what they did to her. Hope she sues them and win.
Once she asked for an attorney the questing has to stop. However, Dumb and Dumber kept asking her questions for 30 minutes. The worse interrogation ever recorded in history of law enforcement. The Judge let them have it in open court "Absurd". You don't need the Supreme Court for this one.
She also needs to sue her former employer for wrongful termination, unless she signed an "at will agreement" when she was first hired. Otherwise, she was innocent until proven guilty and her former employer had no grounds to fire her, unless she was convicted of a crime. The city has deep pockets and so does the security company she used to work for!
At least the judge was competent!
Thank goodness! 🙏
PD owes her for robbing her of her livelihood. PD ought to be court ordered to remove the post as well.
This was great investigative reporting. I got an education. We just never know what may land anyone in jail.
Please. Keep doing more investigative stories and follow ups on such cases.

Are you actually her cousin? You should make a go fund me or give send go...so we can send her donations...this is terrible she has no job at christmas time
One time in a Psychology class, the professor asked, "If you happened to see a lost wallet, what would you do?" Most people were saying take it here, take it there. At one point someone responded, "Just leave it, don't even touch it". And while everyone responded huh?! Now we know why!!
I also hope and pray that someone out there will be kind enough to give this woman a chance because she deserves that now after all that she's been through no one deserves to go through that kind of a punishment no one.
She have to make her way, and she will.
Can someone please interview the cop who told her she was lying
Pretty sure that wouldn't be Trump
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
Well... to be fair she wasn't telling the truth.
@@jasonsherman1441 every one is skipping this part that she wasn't telling the police the truth
The detective who was 1000% sure she was lying will plead the 5th in the civil trial.
Hope she wins big.
The DA must be insane and should be held accountable.
At least the judge has the sense to see what a terrible case this was.
In some jurisdictions if a cop pleaded the 5th they are instantly terminated… but DPD is so horribly incompetent and corrupt, it’s probably not applicable there.
Man how can u trust them to solve anything serious if they can’t solve this simple case. What a joke
WXYZ Health Alert!
She deserves compensation in the seven-digit range. It is unfortunate that we, the people, have to pay for the misconduct of our government.
Too many things going on. They thought she was apart of a ring of some sort. They women goes in and out of the store everyday after this happened. They have the footage she never got into the car with the theft. Plus the card was left on the counter not stolen. So how the heck did DPD come up with that concept? It's clearly there that she thought it was the other person's credit card.
Damn the DA is on some BS. Imagine how many times the DA knew interrogators violated rights and looked the other way.
After seeing this, her former employer and DPD need to do the right thing here! 💯
You have the right to have a lawyer present when being interrogated.
Once you are in that backroom for an interrogation, they never do what they're supposed to do at least by what the law says
WXYZ Health Alert!!!!
This woman goes to this gas station multiple times per week. I'm sure she's given the clerk tons of cards and returned tons of cards to people walking away. Most of us do! People have done it for me also. This woman has no way of recalling every scenario and they should have shown her the video they were using against her.
I think the only reason DPD had not caught the real crook is that she looked mean, and she might say something to hurt an officers feelings. So they going to let her go, and pick on some more honest, more helpless looking people of color.

The irony here is that Miranda Warnings probably didn't need to be given in the first place. If she went to the police station on her own and was never told she couldn't leave, was locked, or blocked in, she wouldn't be considered to be in custody and any statements made would be admissible. The reading of the Miranda is likely what prompted her to request a lawyer. Bottom line once that request is made, the questions have to stop. Even if she changed her mind 5 min later and said she wanted to answer questions, the cop still couldn't question her until the woman spoke with an attorney and they Oked it.
Failing to read Miranda is not a rights violation but can lead to the suppression of evidence. Continuing to question after 5th rights were evoked, whether issued Miranda or not, becomes compelling and likely coercive. That is a clear rights violation.

When she asked for a lawyer, they were supposed to stop with the question. Her right to an attorney was violated.
Ms. Wilson needs to sue all officers involved. Once a reasonable person believes that they can't get up and leave, that's an arrest!!!
Hopefully she’ll get a great Civil attorney and sue the crap out of them. Too bad the taxpayers will be responsible for it. This is exactly why they need to end qualified immunity. Thank god for the cameras!!!!!
They wont learn. This is standard proceedure for them if they believe the person is vulnerable and does not know their rights. They hound them in turns, until the person is so confused and upset, they make an involuntary statement that is taken as an admission of guilt. NEVER talk to cops ! They don't care about you. All they want, is to make an arrest and to hell with your life and reputation.
Sue everyone that's involved.
She voluntarily showed up at the police station to be interrogated, without a lawyer. This has to be one of the stupidest thing a person can ever do.

If this situation ever happens to you, the smart thing to do is ask the person their name to see if it matches the card. Then ask to see ID to confirm the name. Otherwise, give it to the clerk.
Sure.. because that’s what normal people think about when trying to return someone’s property. Smart thing? The smartest thing she did was return someone else’s property. The rest is on DPDs ignorance
good advice
@@firewater365 Courtesy to the owner of an object requires due diligence in verifying that is really the owner that you are giving it to. Returning property to the wrong person is not a smart thing. it is a simple mistake. Unfortunately for her, a mistake that became costly. The police royally screwed up the investigation by lazily assuming that she had nefarious intent. Only the absolute worst of detectives would watch that video and infer that she had criminal intent. She should sue their pants off
She needs to also open a lawsuit against the City and the State as well as each cop involved in this tragedy.
The company I work for reached out to the news to offer her a job that paid more... actually 30 different jobs to choose from with free health, dental, life, retirement, gym membership and more and offered to buy her a new car of her choice up to $30k so the base mustang qualifies. the news put us in touch with her lawyer. We gave lawyer offer details. And she turned down the new car and job. Lawyer said she is not in any kind of desperate need for a job or benefits or health care or dental work or money and loves the car she has and just wants to do security work. Hopefully she finds another security job. Bless your heart Ms Wilson..... Bless your heart.
I got news for this lady. THEY WILL LEARN NOTHING!!!! They will do the same thing 15 minutes after they return from their vacation\suspension with pay.
Yep! The tactics used in this interrogation is the tactics used in every single interrogation.
Do research into how many innocent people admit to crimes they never committed once they get into that interrogation room

I really pray that in the end this woman wins BIG!!! Next time I find somebody else’s property especially a credit card, I’m leaving it where it lays… how about that! 🥴
Why the store clerk didn't speak up and say something on her behalf??
Yes, there's a lot of unanswered questions
Makes you wonder, how many times they have done this.
I encourage everybody to write 3 things down on an index card and hand it to law enforcement if you ever have any sort of interaction with them. 1) I remain silent 2) I do not consent to any searches 3) I want a lawyer Then you literally do not say a word...not one! There is not one good thing that has ever come from talking to a cop. It's perfectly legal to remain silent and there's not one thing they can do about it.
The act of remaining silence is not good enough according to the Supreme Court. You must invoke your fifth amendment right.

In my case the judge tried to arrest me when i pled my case in court instead of righting the wrong. 2nd case they hid the video that would prove my case. They didnt care that i had been wrongly attacked, all they wanted was to ruin my life. This is not justice for black ppl in this system, not when racist are in position.

Never talk to the police. Ever.
Refuse to speak to police

This is insane and is scary, I'd end up in the same ship as her if this happend to me?!? It's insane how fast your life falls apart after an arrest and how long it takes to get it back together, now she has an eviction, good luck finding a rental, no job, so no congruent job history, also makes it hard to find a rental, but all this happend so fast within 4 days her whole life fell apart it will take years for the courts to fix it. It took 4 months just to get the arrest vacated, ridiculous, and the police, no apology instead they try to defend what they did to her. Just awful!
@purplepanda1435 based on the first sentence in your comment theres a lesson to be learned from this. know your rights!! don't answer questions from police, they are not your friends and prey on people to be ignorant of their rights and self incriminate for the sole purpose of locking them up and costing citizens money
Once again people: NEVER TALK TO THE COPS. They are not on your side. They are not ALLOWED to bring up evidence that could exonerate you in court.
Yep, "attorney", all questions should stop immediately
They didn't even try to go after the other person.
They are not looking for her. The real criminal is on video. I hope Sandra Wilson gets the justice she deserves. The police office said she was a reasonable person, what a joke.

I wonder if it's still on the books where a citizen can sue a police officer for something like this to where the officer(s) in a law suit are personally held responsible for up to $10,000.00 in compensation?
The police don't care who's actually guilty as long as they get someone for something.
"I gave the card to the man behind the counter."
Just wanted to defend her somewhere on this. Our days get muddled as we do the same stuff constantly. In the video we have evidence of her at least trying to find someone who owned the card and return it honestly. The idea that she and an accomplice worked together to steal a credit card at such an opportune moment (as most of us don't forget that sort of thing too often) is absurd. What could have occured would have been a crime of opportunity, which does not permit the idea of conspiracy that was used against this woman. In her own head, she went to the gas station for some smokes or a snack like any other day, found a card that wasn't hers, and took it to someone in an attempt to honestly return it. Guy behind the counter would have been a better option, but the intent is clear and it pisses me off that it took months to get to a reasonable judge to help her. I hope she gets absolved in social media and the workplace.
A prime example of pleading the fifth and not talking to anyone from the government without a lawyer
It's hard to believe this was ever a case at all.
Even SCOTUS tells us to NOT TALK TO POLICE.
NEVER go 'down town' to talk. Tell the officer to get a warrant, then STFU.
NEVER. You're warned..
