Funny you didnt mention that he didnt have a DRIVERS LICENSE
Gtfo here with your shillshark bullshitm
@@robs1873 maybe becuz the driver has paid for their license reinstatement fees and your point is what again? 😅
Regardless of the fact that he didn't have a valid license, the stop was illegal! They wouldn't have known if he had a valid license or not had they not assumed he had any sort of contraband in the vehicle simply because he was a black man! Funny how you find the only flaw in a video full of horse crap!
@@chrispysreliabledeliveries7371 regardless of the fact that it was an illegal stop, he never mentioned that he didnt have a DRIVERS LICENSE
"I just want people to be straight up and honest with me." Says the cop who's lying his ass off.
I bet he's a man of God too lmfao. Seems like Christians now a days lie more than the devil himself.
Policing in America is disgusting because there is no accountability
@@ljeans531 oh theres accountability, they investigate themselves and find themselves innocent lol
In front of a kid. How's he going to trust cops after this? Discusting.
Well.... I bet he wasn't lying about that 😉
This is actually really sad. They were so nice & respectful to those cops & you know those cops thought they were going to find something illegal in their car. I’m glad they sued & won $75k.
$75k is not enough.
Didn't really "win" if they settled out of court with the public's tax dollars.
75k is a small price to pay for a gag order.
the cops should be fired and never allowed a job. 75k is coming straight from taxes. nothing changed. cops are not guilty and they will continue to harass - even harder now that they got caught and they will use new tactics to hide their evil. police officers are cops because they ENJOY hurting others
Should've gotten more
Your hands are shaking? Yeah, dude, you pulled me over for a turn signal and now you're asking me about drugs and guns.
And im being surrounded by thugs with guns
I'm sure I was shaking the handful of times I've been pulled over...especially when I didn't know why. I think that's a pretty natural response. Especially knowing that cops like this exist.
Pulled over for literally no reason.
@@l.a.rodriguez9581 Naw bruh they pulled him over for ONE REASON and that’s being black….and this coming from a white guy
@@dr.loomis4221 with all the times they’ve helped you hunt down Michael, I thought you would have a good relationship with the police, lol
"This is how we conduct all our stops"
I believe him.
Good point
Of black folks at least.
'I'm going to pat you down ...tits, bum and between your legs....because we accuse the driver (not you) of turning without first indicating'.
The justice department released its findings today on the Louisville police department and its disgusting behavior. I highly recommend reading to understand just how awful these cops are here.
You think 65 year old grandma Gladys is getting this treatment?
When body camera footage shows that the turn signal was activated, the officer should immediately be terminated. It shows the true dishonest nature of that officer. No amount of training will change that officer's ethics.
Seems like policy to me since the other officers in the car prob talked about it. But I agree, I would hope this would actually be allowed as evidence in other cases this cop is involved in.
all his cases should be investigated also
Completly agree, you are kinda born like that...
This is Kentucky there is tons of video of them doing horrible stuff and not an issue. So corrupt here they had a couple of officers years back molesting kids in boy scouts and they end up doing is firing one of the 3 cops and he went to another county...
Better put him on the electric chair.
I love how they handled this .. polite... very respectful ... yes/no sir... even shock their hands.. got home safe... then sued tf outta them 😂
Exactly!!!
Its a shame most people dont handle it this way
@@OgBobby42 most ppl are scared to die and it activates their fight or flight response.
They should have got more and not settle for 75K but good on them. That's how you do it!!!
Absolutely and so glad. They were nice people and the tyrants still had to trample his rights in front of his family.
This was so obviously a "Driving While Black" scenario. Glad they sued these scumbags and won.
Good for citizens, but nothing happens to tyrants
Except this happens to literally everyone no matter their skin color. Watch all these videos? A vast majority are light skinned people being wronged. They dont care what you look like, they bully everyone
This definitely felt like he allowed them to infringe on his rights solely to keep his family safe. I commend him for that.
Amazing that the only crimes committed were the multiple crimes being committed by the civil servants assigned to upholding the law. The cops should be in jail, period.
Actually these pigs should be taken out to the back and 💥 by firing squad what they did is past a thin line of trust , permanently traumatizing a family and destroying the trust they have in the community .
I got beat by a cop in Louisville for underage smoking when I refused to tell him my name. These cops should be hanged
Yes, starting with them running the red light through the intersection where the victim was turning.
@@Stepclimb I didn't even notice that
Unfortunately the cops are always protected QI.
crazy how cops use nervousness as a sign of guilt when it's a perfectly normal and involuntary response to being grilled by a cop.
Yeah, that makes me sick. I get a nervous and sick feeling whenever I just pass a cop when I have done absolutely nothing wrong. We probably feel that way because we are aware that an officer can and will violate our rights given any chance they get. We know that at any second they can make any accusation they wish to, and there is nothing we can do about it. Nervousness around those who could and would injure us just because they feel like it, is perfectly reasonable and should not be allowed to be used as a sign of guilt for anyone.
Especially when all the cops are white, you're black, and you have your kid with you. "Is today the day these dirty LEOs violate my rights and kill me while in custody, IN FRONT OF MY KID?"
Literally scares me , because even though I am not carrying drugs or anything illegal around in my car I still get nervous when pulled over . Just knowing police can make up anything and justify doing things to you that aren’t legal, it’s definitely not a good feeling.
I feel sorry for him, been a man of colour how else is he supposed to react? Every move could be his last in his eyes
Being grilled by a pack of rabid cops*
Qualified immunity needs to be revoked and cops held accountable for every single law that they break
They're not cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo
That family deserved far more than 75k.
It is beyond disgusting what they did and these are the very type of cops who put a bad name out there..
They're not cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo.
Of course, they still admitted to no wrongdoing and basically put a gag order on the victims/complainants.
I agree 100%
Nah, 500k. They were driving from church. These officers violated a family. They may need years of therapy to recover from this situation.
I only got £100k for getting my head smashed in by a careless driver several years ago. I was in a coma for three days and have symptoms to this day. $75k for ten minutes of their time seems like a much better deal to me.
"your hands are shaking like a leaf brother even your face is" what? Mr.parker was just about the calmest person I've ever seen getting pulled over. Seriously impressed with Mr.Parker's conduct throughout this.
And even if he was, no shit. A bunch a armed cops surrounded and stopped him like it was a hostage situation. Any individual would be nervous under those conditions.
Agreed! The man looked so laid back it had me confused.
Ironicly cops can't use someone being nervous as a reason to prolong a detain and such anymore.
Cause of course you are nervous, police with guns are near you....
Courts recongise that being detained for a traffic stop is stressful and some people will have nervous ticks cause of it.
After all.. some people with autism or those with actual ticks they can't control would be always seen as supicious and will never be able to just drive away from a stop until a dog sniffing happens and they consent to a search or such....
But yea he was super calm... If an officer tries to use your hands shaking as an excuse to search or arrest you... you got a massive lawsuit for them.
He's a black man in a city notorious for killing innocent black people and illegal traffic stops. Any black man's hands would be shaking.
Idk how someone's face can shake lol. But what if he had some sort of medical issue that caused him to have tremors? That wasn't even a thought. It went straight to, he's lying. But I'm a white female in a republican state & the 1 time I was pulled over, I was fucking terrified. Even though I had no reason to be & knew I was just getting a speeding ticket, I was fucking terrified. I can't imagine what it feels like to be a young black american being pulled over. Absolutely terrifying & traumatic I'm sure of it.
If a cop sees a citizen is "shaking like a leaf" the correct response is to DEFUSE the situation. Using it as an excuse to search someone is despicable.
Cops today are a bunch of thugs. I shake too when approached by them.
I know, right?
He was using that line to get an excuse for the search. It was a cheap shot at "probable cause"
Cops will always bullshit a reason to get you out of a car just to search it happened to me a while back with a female office that has her panties too up her ass ( never had a bad Male Officer encounter in my experience )
She asked to search my car which then I declined and she had me step out of my car because “I seemed nervous” when I was perfectly fine and cooperative, to the point she called for her buddies to show up with a Dog because I refused her to search the car, then to finally not finding anything and letting me go complete, waste of my time. And I’m a person of color but I’ve never been asked out of all the years of having encounters with officers to step out of my vehicle or some bitch that was eager to search but after that day I really saw from first hand how much a cop with actually lie to investigate what’s none of their business
Seriously, this is just disgusting. You can tell they're sadistically getting off on the citizen being afraid of them. Ego-driven bullies, nothing less.
Hell I'm surprised they didn't plant evidence
Really! If he was alone, they may have tried.
They probably would have done that if there was no kid in the car
They do ALL THE TIME its just a matter of time someone will stand up like this familiy did... and the video cameras they have are gettin them in trouble as you can see in this video....thats why we LEFT THE DIRTY SOUTH....LouisVAUL hypocrites AKA cops do not want you to video tape them.
They were out of stash. That's why they're checking if he got some.
This is terrifying to watch. I truly feared for this family’s safety
That corrupt, racist POS Crawford approaches the car for “a traffic stop” and immediately kicks off his “investigation” with his racist BS “you have any guns or drugs in the car?”. I hope he has been fired is never allowed to work anywhere near the public ever again.
those dirty cops needs to be fired.. so disgusting
These payouts need to start coming from the police union pensions - that would halt these illegal searches really quickly.
Then and their families need to be put underground.
@@nrf2009 You need to post this as a comment and not a reply brotha
No, Those dirty cops need to be behind bars!!!!
@@nrf2009 Exactly!! Not hurting anyone but the taxpayers!!!
Even if he had failed to use the turn signal, it is simply wrong that all this can be done to him.
nope, when cop is not rotttn its totally fair. Dont be an idiot if you cant stand the things happen because of that
That violation of failure to use a turn signal is just plain bs. I drive a lot for a living and I see hundreds if not thousands of cars not using their turn signals. This is what we all know, an excuse to look for drugs and guns.
@@adcolt54 so you are shit at driving and think you are above a law lmao
He doesn't have a license.....
@@adcolt54 Then use your turn signal and have a FUCKING license.
Driver admits the turn signal is broken and he doesnt have a DL
As long as officials believe it's better to punish taxpayers than officers, this will continue to happen.
The more they were polite, the more they were violated and the more this makes you severely cross with the police!

*Black family illegally stopped, detained and searched by four white officers.*
"I have no idea why they don't trust us?"
"Sir your hands are shaking, you face..."
Yea, wonder why. Must not be related to current sentiments.
The car was red obviously they needed to search every inch of it
@Captain Bubbles HOLD ON!!!! If your gonna pull that race BS, lets see what the crime rate is between black vs white in the town. Then ask the same question, I have no idea why they don't trust us?? Always when this type of stuff happens we measure someone's bad against our good. Let get our own houses in order before we start throwing stones at our neighbours window. Yes there is a problem but its not one sided ...
There are just as many illegal searches of white people. Cops will try to get a power rush off anyone.
I mean this Chanel proves it’s not about race because there’s plenty of videos on here of power hungry cops pulling over whites Hispanics etc for nothing
If Mr. Parker had tried to assert his rights during this traffic stop, I am quite certain these cops would have escalated it to something much worse and possibly violent. $75k pay day ain't bad, but as a tax payer, I would prefer the cops do their job appropriately.
Nicely said. For OUR SAFETY, the time to argue legality of police actions is in front of a judge & by a lawyer representing you. NOT to the cops acting unlawfully. No matter how ridiculous. Follow directions, stay quiet, & wait for your day in court. Otherwise the cops just may look for a reason to make sure you don't make it to that day in court.
Or a nice percentage comes out of all their pension... that's what's not happening on these types of searches and intersection
@@unknownuser41190 The only problem I have with that strategy is for example those that are accused of trespassing on 1/6/21 that are still locked up without due process a year and a half later. As our law enforcement gets more and more corrupt, more people will fight back.
I'd rather the cops pay the 75K instead of the taxpayers
@@StewBurtTheRed They would probably default on the judgement.
This was actually so saddening, I'm usually an optomist and search for some sort of reasoning why people behave a certain way. But this couple was so calm, even though the actions of the officers were based purely on a lie. The man even shook their hands after being profiled like that. Truly a respectable family and the cops should be ashamed of themselves.
i would never have shaken hands with someone who violated me like that, this man is a better man than me, remaining that calm under such abusive circumstances, because of my mother, i snap hard under any circumstances that involve an abuse of authority
I've probably been pulled over 30-40 times in my life. Never has an officer asked me to step out of the car and search me. Well, one time, when I was arrested for DUI. Short of that, never again. This man had a wife and child and was obviously clean cut and probably coming from church like he stated. This is pretty shameful and gross
Damn man tf you be doing to get pulled over that many times lol. That ain’t normal 😂
This entire encounter made me feel very uncomfortable. This cop treated him like he was an armed felon from the very start and then proceeded to violate every one of the mans rights that he possibly could. This is absolutely disgusting and this officer should not be allowed to work in law enforcement.
The entire stop smacks of racial profiling. Quite disgusting.
This happens a lot! Black males aren't safe.
Of course he did, the cop is white
@@1960WheelzOf course, white cop, no surprises here
This what people in the black community have been experiencing for decades
Classic profiling and nothing more. He broke zero laws and they still treat that family like they’re criminals.
Imagine what that does to his son, to see that. Does that kid look at police favorably? Does he think police are there to protect and serve?
And the same cops will bitch about people not respecting cops.
I found it very interesting that the police kept repeating “do you have any weapons?” Even including knives and druges all the time. I have never heard a police officer repeat if someone has weapons all the time while being searched. Clear profiling
@@ohitsarcangel2182 I got pulled over before at night while I was unfortunately speeding a bit, never got asked once about drugs or weapons there's no reason to even ask that other than racial profiling when nothing clearly bad is happening.
@@lucario2able iv been.. hell, i had a cop make us put our phones on the roof of my truck then immediatly threaten us with the k9 unit. Talked to us one on one about drugs. Apparently the k9s were "busy" after an hr of sitting on the sidewalk and let us go. The 3 of us forgot about our phones and i took off. Shattered mine, theres were ok. It was Amherst NY.. we were harassed because my friends from outta town apparently picked the wrong motel to stay in for the night....
It's sad how people are beaten into submission to believe we simply need to obey any other human being in uniform!
Well, they also have a gun. The uniform give them a license to kill.
@@khootjenkins6248 I do agree with you. Same as soldiers hide behind their uniforms. But the biggest killers are still the suits in governments and in CEO corporate positions.
At least now you know a BIT
OF how it feels
to be a Negro in the United States
I agree. The burden is always on the civilians instead of everyone demanding police be held accountable.
i love your channel dude. because when i see videos like these on other channels, i usually run into a bunch of weirdo comments (mainly from middle age + non Blacks) trying hard to point out that as long as people do what the police tell them to do, everything will be ok. but ive seen tons of videos on your channel proving that even when u do what your told, youll still encounter bs from the police. whereas your response is a major factor, you playing your roll accordingly and doing what the police says, doesnt always guarantee you positive outcomes. winning a civil suit doesnt erase the stress that these guys put u through, once they pull u over
Given the sheer audacity of these cops, 75k is far too little a settlement. At a minimum there should be disciplinary action as well.
they gave cash just to get away with all the shit they cause ... they don't mind and never been sincered about changing ... cops are like feral animal ... they always get back to their predator instinc and will strike someone without warning ... all the pack will help that wild animal to erased the traces
Agreed! Imagine the trauma to his son.
I couldn't agree more. There should be at least one more zero= a $750,000.00 minimum settlement, disciplinary action, and qualified immunity done away with. Officers should carry insurance, and be personally liable when it is clear they are in the wrong as seen here.
Yes...that amount should have been tripled bcoz it also involved violating his whole family
Unfortunately, since he wasn't actually arrested or jailed the damages are a lot more limited.
Most people who have had it happen say they would rather have their time and to not have all the memories, stress and trauma from having to go through the experiences of jail, strip searches, court, being locked up with people who want to kill and rape you to help you become a more well rounded and adjusted member of society, having to go back to using phone cards and broadcast TV... you know, the criminal justice carousel. The money those people get as compensation for wrongful convictions and imprisonments isn't even _close_ to enough to make up for it.
“You’re shaking”
Not like 4 armed officers came out and surrounded the car with his son in the back. I’d be shaking, sweating and praying that nothing bad happens
They love to say or ask why are you so nervous. Umm excuse me sir but do you not know how cops do business these days. People are guilty until proving innocent. And get shot for having a cell phone in your hand.
For sure..dishonest cops with guns..surround car. Don't see many people around..
Yeah... I'm a white middle-aged lady and I'd be shaking from being pulled over by one cop when I knew I rolled through a red light to make a right turn (that was my last ticket, it was fair, lesson learned). Facts show a black family can't trust the cops not to pull them over and shoot their daddy. Why wouldn't someone be afraid?
It baffles me that those cops picked a random car to investigate, waisted at least 30 minutes or so with four officers, while there are crimes being committed during that time where they can't be sent to because they decided to waste their time instead.
They will not go to real criminal activities because these clown are cowards of the county
Why wouldn't he be nervous about being pulled over and lied too without reason?!
"This is how we handle anyone who doesn't use their turn signals."
They smelled fear and determined it was enough to act on. You know, like a predator
exactly. They prey on fear.
They see black
That's something I would have liked a civil rights lawyer look in on. I'd pull records and footage to determine if they do that w/ EVERYONE. I highly doubt it because you better believe they do that to the wrong people and it would get changed quickly. But I have a feeling that is a lie and they choose who to do that to.
More like this is how we handle people who are driving while black.
You're right
The only thing I was worried about when Mr. Parker consented to the search was the possibility of the officers planting illegal substances. I've seen cops do that on this channel before.
Deputy Wester in the panhandle of Florida did it many times to people in that community.
He is serving lots of time now.
The prosecutor that exposed his crimes got fired/forced out.
Well even if he did plant something the driver wouldn’t get in trouble because he was illegally detained.
Only planting evidence? they could arrest him and his family with just, "Oh, this appears to be something!!! (It could be litterally dust or sand)
@@user-qz6nk1le5n Totally agree with you. It's just a messed up situation all around!
@@Inamichan It's still humiliating. They were pulled out of their cars and searched coming right from their church. Also, I'm sure it was probably tramatic for Mr. Parker's son as well.
I hate the fact dude was explaining himself to the cop. So glad they kept their composure and filed the lawsuit. 👏 👏 👏
It's easy to watch videos like this and say what you would have done differently but I'm telling you right now when it's actually happening to you and you're the one sitting in the vehicle and the officers telling you that you look nervous even though you're being surrounded by cops completely out of nowhere it's terrifying because anything you do from that moment on looks suspicious and if you try to be overly careful they'll think you're being sarcastic or something or taking this as a joke, there's no real way out of a situation like this once cops start treating you this way
They are counting on citizens don’t know their rights. It is disgusting.
They count on blacks being uneducated on many situations and subjects. Thats why they made it illegal for slaves to read and also attempted to ban blacks for going to white universities, still the education system is lopsided. Old news, same old white supremacist practices.
Doesn't really matter if you know the law or not if they wake up and decide to violate you or kill you, it will be done. The judges that are their cronies will make sure it will be justified.
They do count on that. It’s horrible.
As you see in another comment I made, I’m former law enforcement and had many arguments with coworkers attempting to do this same thing when I would step in and prevent it. I was eventually retaliated against for filing complaints. I eventually just quit.
They did. It was 2018 and NOW people are woke to this crap. I’m glad that there are many many auditors out filming the police and this is an example of why!
And when you know your rights, you’re a troublemaker, or they want to know where you went to law school. The fact they regularly violate our rights means maybe they need more than 6 - 9 months training for this job.
"Man, I just want people to be upfront and honest with me!" This is cop talk for "It doesn't matter what you say to me, I'm not going to believe you!" This is all based on the fact that people lie! You are correct, ocifer, people do lie and you yourself are people!
Cop says be honest as he lies. Normal police activity unfortunately 😕
@@brightestfuture
Exactly! The cop lied about the turn signal. The driver asked the cop, _"is the turn signal the only reason you stopped me?"_ The cop answered yes which was another lie.
This kinda shit happens all the time. Ive had this happen countless times
Lol occifer..
@@AJDavis-ti2ee what seems to be the ocifer, problem? 😂
Why is he getting searched for fail to use a turn signal? I'm mad he letting them.
I am too. Stand up for your rights!!!
You have to pick and choose your battles wisely. They knew they had nothing to hide, driver knew the reason for the stop was not valid so anything the police did then on was going to be more evidence for the couple to add to the lawsuit. They were very intelligent for behaving the way they did. I think we’re to use to seeing black men speaking loudly and then police escalating situations further for them to be able to say later on that “they feared for their safety”. This could have gone a whole different direction if they hadn’t remained calm. I don’t know if I could have displayed such amazing patience.
This may be just me but, I'm always thinking how many ACTUAL CRIMES are being committed while these what 4 or 6 officers are perpetrating crimes on law abiding citizens for ego trips and shit and giggles, how many???? Yes that's a RHETORICAL QUESTION.
Crime is at an all time low compared to previous decades. I’m not surprised law enforcement gets caught making up crimes
It's truly sad...that as an American driving on the roads...anytime I see an officer I feel nervous/anxious. Not because I've anything to hide, not because I've been up to anything nefarious, but because of corrupt officers.
Not just corrupt officers corrupt laws, you don't have your fourth amendment when you're driving in your car it's impossible to navigate all the victimless traffic code laws that are unconstitutional.
@@-JohnSmith- cars werent around when the constition was created you lemon
Or outnof concern of getting a hateful cop and not being unable to prove your innocence at a later date
Ie: pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign. (I did) but the officer pulled me over for "being suspicious" then later wrote me a $100 ticket for failure to stop after i declined consent to search my vehicle at 2 am.
The worst part as that cops intentionally act as if nobody has any reason to be nervous around them when you're 1 movement away from possible death
@@whatoh3407 Seriously, I've seen this tactic on more than one video. It's really disturbing that they pretend like people aren't nervous around cops, especially POC! How many traffic stops have we seen that end in injury or death? 🙄
The insane part is the officer literally says at 2:50, “I just like people to be honest and straight up with me”, while doing an unjustified & invalid terry stop based off a lie for a working turn signal.
They are master liars !!!
Not a Terry Stop 🤦♂️
It's called projecting 😂
Disgusting isn’t it?
that’s how my mom got a bogus ticket, cop lied she never used a turn signal.
Your research was so good that you explained everything that happened throughout the interaction with a sc decision
Cops caught lying should be fired immediately under the premise that their testimony from there on is tainted. That was not a traffic stop, that was a shake down.
"you're shaking like a leaf" the dude was literally as calm as a cucumber lol
I think that you mean 'as cool as a cucumber'🤔
@@robertdore9592 😆 🤣 😂 ❤
I want to make note that the officers themselves actually ran a red light to pull him over for this illegal stop.
They do that daily for no reason at all
They aren't supposed to speed either unless they are chasing, but i see them on the interstate doing that alot. Ill be going almost 80 and they fly by me, with no lights
They are above the law.
I used to live in an apartment off a busy street and police officers would turn their lights on just to get through red lights then turned them off. This would happen all the time during the two years I lived there.
@@walkingdeadman4208 They do have a legal basis to do that, up to 90mph. It's a specific code, usually a domestic violence call where they can't alert suspects of their arrival, risking a hostage situation or worse. They absolutely do abuse this tho, and will speed whenever they want if they know where rival units are.
“I just like people to be honest and straight up with me” from the cop who just lied about this man not using his turn signal. This cop should have been fired immediately. It’s proven he’s a liar!!!
“Service, Metro, Integrity” nice buzz words to completely ignore. I’m glad the family was represented enough to make waves for this.
I appreciate you adding "Cost Their TOWN $75,000" in the title. Because that's what keeps these practices going. They'd rather spend taxpayer money to prevent further criticism or claims against a police unit than actually meaningfully change things. The cops need to foot the bill.
The cops know it's a joke. They probably have bets with each other on who costs the taxpayer's the most money each year.
Look at it the other way. How many tickets are given in false circumstances on an hourly basis vs $75k?
I wonder if these fines come out of their budget because that would clear some things up if it did.
@Jamie McInally::: Hush money. Don't tell anyone about our racket.
The settlement is so outrageous, I'd call it criminal. Mafia style. Shut-up money. You cannot do that as a public institution.
He fooled tf outta them, shaking hands in the end & later on sued em gotta love this energy 🙏
He was just thanking them for the settlement in advance 😂
@@Andomosity lol
That's the best way to deal with situations like that. No point trying to be aggressive
Yep he is smart. On the street isn't where you fight the constitutionallity of a stop. You do that in court.
@@Andomosity 😂😂
Does authority not realize how traumatizing this can be? Or just simply not care. Complete violation of rights, citizenship and person.
I've been pulled over perhaps a dozen times in my decades of driving, and never have I been asked to step out of the vehicle to be patted down. WTF.
" Your hands are shaking like a leaf "
Look at what you did to this family. I'm surprised nobody's gone into shock and have convulsions.
That's called "reaching". If he actually was scared, it's probably due to their history.
If home boy did have convulsions the cop might have shot him. "He's coming right for me"
I didn’t see his hands shaking. The cop said that because it is in the script he was fallowing for the record. They have probably done this many times the exact same way.
@@markmixon1121 facts, the man didn't look nervous and wasn't shaking at all
Exactly. I love the guy was not at all shaking, it would have been reasonable to do so. Especially given the fact that he was probably aware that police were going to jack him up and try to pin something on him
since when did simple traffic infractions start including searches, pat downs, and invasive acts? what happened to writing a ticket and being on your way? and cops wonder why they are disliked, they create their own disdain.
They all do it regularly. They can knowingly break laws, lie, stop you for no reason, fabricate evidence and get away with it. They all do I multiple times per day. Especially these "drug units".
Since the target had a skin tone darker than a light tan. Driving while black is a criminal offence in Amerika.
Can you say OVERPOLICING.
It starts with “why are you shaking” ….it automatically sets a precedence for the cop to keep lying and adding details to make you look suspicious and/or a threat.
The camera clearly shows the victim was signaling, so the cops lied about his actions.
Very heart breaking, how the cops can violate people like that.
"You shaking like a leaf".... I wonder why! Only being illegally stopped by multiple cops who are immediately acting like there must be something on him or in the car.
"Without acknowledging any wrong doing", "forbidden from speaking out against". This is all a load of BS on police departments.
Lazy ass attorneys!
Afraid to actually try a case, always looking for a quick settlement and quick payout.
As far as I am concerned the attorneys engaged in malpractice by having their clients sign an agreement saying the city did nothing wrong when the evidence is indisputable that they did wrong and illegal things; unless they "counseled " and informed their client on all the options.
Nah. I’ll take less money and you admit you were wrong and apologize.
Completely corrupt
We have fostered an entire generation of citizens that are hesitant to trust law enforcement. Here's the sad news: until we abolish qualified immunity, they will continue to oppress, and use dirty tactics, and empty these poor towns of taxpayer money and empathy.
And after you abolish qualified immunity, you will lose 90% of quality officers, because frivolous litigation is common in America, and it would be too expensive, reasonable people who are not power hungry would leave.
@@amkelle2 Quality officers...that's funny.
@@amkelle2 Not true. Once Qualified immunity is gone you lose officers that use it as protection to do illegal things and not face consequences. In all fairness, Qualified Immunity should never be. To be qualified as an officer you should know the laws you are enforcing and have immunity for not knowing and getting off just makes it that much harder to hold accountable the bad apples.
We need QI. Otherwise people will sue cops when a court finds a person not guilty or innocent. An issue we do have is a requirement in QI for there to be some sort of precedent. Cops should be held to a higher standard of the law than citizens and QI should be limited to just that a cop can reasonably believe their action(s) (is/are) justified under color of law.
"an entire generation" Just one generation ??
Police should not be allowed to remove any person from a vehicle during a traffic stop unless that person is under arrest or there is probable cause for a vehicle search.
What an absolute gentleman the victim was. Glad he got some compensation for this BS.
These are the same type that won’t go into a school when kids lives are at stake but will gladly waste peoples time over a turn signal (that he even used)
Wonder how those kids will view police officers as adults. Watching that happen to their parents.
Stop conflating.
Meh half the kids would become corrupt anyway
@@miciso666 yeah they got the example from the police.
@@darrensanimalsreptilesfish30 One of the kids already said he plans on being a surgeon instead of a police officer because he wants to help people.
Now imagine what was happening BEFORE the cameras era. This is just scary
I believe with all my heart that every claimed mistreatment by black people by white cops in the history of this country is the gospel truth. If these POS cops will break the law while wearing body cams; you have to believe in the law of averages that they got away with murder before cams. It sullies the reputation of ALL LEOs, everywhere. This is plain and simply why some people retaliate and even execute LEOs. When people are pushed to their limit, they rebel. Ffs, this country was founded on that principle. Police corruption should be snuffed out at every level with extreme prejudice. Civil suits sure. But dirty cops need not only be fired but prosecuted and imprisoned as Level 3 offenders. Be a truthful public servant or face imprisonment as an L3 in gen pop. That should deter any cop from breaking his oath of office.
It was really bad not that long go. In the 90’s I was involved in several shady stops where friends of mine were harassed regularly
Not scary , just sickening!!!
@@rykson161 that would be a better word actually, yes
black people have been telling people what that looks like. Its just that no one listened
Good dude...and his lady on board. ✊🏾👍🏾
That shot of the family all lined up says everything, those old terrible times never went away
This fella played this perfectly, he knew what was happening to him was unjust and bs but he played it respectful and polite knowing the whole time he would sue their corrupt department
Disagree. He actually gave them evidence that would have backed up their case at trial. It's actually an example of why you never try to explain anything to police and unknowingly assist their investigation (which is all evidence that can be used against you).
The check was so small the city probably took 2 seconds to approve because it's nothing. Had it gone to trial you can bet the city would have claimed he may have signaled but the light didn't work so it's as if he didn't signal. He provided evidence backing that up numerous times when he freely told them that sometimes it malfunctions and he has to do some special maneuver to get it to work. He freely gave them evidence against him.
Don't confuse the city not caring to fight something that would have cost more in lawyer fees instead of cutting a small check, not admitting guilt and silencing the family w/ him handling it correctly.
He played polite because he understands he's black and doesn't want to get killed while driving home from church
@@RogerThat902 that "evidence" is irrelevant, as the stop was based on it not working when it actually did work.
Yup that’s why he got paid!
@@RogerThat902 its irrelevant. He knows his innocent. The stop was for the sth he didnt do. There is no evidence. He didnt have any contraband in his car thats why he let them search the car. I wouldve done the same. I wouldve let the cops do whatever the fk they wanted acting all polite and then sue them at the end to get money. Ez clap. Ez money. Civilians can stack charges against cops if they wanted to u know.
Painful to watch, another example of the wrong people having all the power.
And who are the right people?

What a nice couple. This guy was so much more patient and understanding than I would have been. These cops are straight unlawfully fishing.
This city is corrupt to the core. The police had bad practices and the fact that the city included a gag order in the settlement goes just how deep the corruption goes. It's all disgusting, and I was aghast when the man shook the officers' hands at the end. It's like thanking someone for smashing you upside the head with a baseball bat.
You typically want to maintain good relations to the people with more weapons than you. In order to fight back, you go through the legal system.
When all else fails, then you riot.
It shows just how big of a man the driver is.
@@thadrepairsitall1278 absolutely!
He was thanking them for not killing him in front of his child.
@@PolionL I think he was just setting a good example for his son in that moment
“This is how we conduct all our stops”, states the officer addressing the female passenger. This is unlawful, and indicative of corruption within that department. They’re hoping to find illegal drugs to be able to arrest one or both. This happens all the time in the gang-infested LAPD and LASD of California. To me this is indicative of corruption and gang activity within this police department.
Its the reason, i don’t use drugs or carry weapons. I hate the police with a passion.
What do you think the police are? They are government sanctioned gangsters
Dat intro....Audit sounds like he was made for commercials but blesses us with audit content.
It’s amazing that the officers broke that many laws and just drove away thinking they did a good job.
Amazing how they treated these two like criminals. I always hear the "Just comply crowd" They gave these cops everything and were still treated like trash.
@Alex B::: People that say "just comply" is just as dumb as telling a person being robbed to just get in the car so they can be removed from the scene or the advise that were given to plane pilots prior to 9-11, just comply.
Somehow that advice remain in dealing with rogue cops.
@@Hear-MeoutTwo2 yeah I hear you. Also the "just comply" isn't a decent defense against the scumiest of cops that plant evidence and make up charges.
But compliance obviously worked out in this case. They got to carry on with their day and won a 75k settlement.
@@sequoia7284 I was just about to say that, they complied and settled the issue in court not on the street, props to them
@@sequoia7284 I hate this argument. "Oh, you got paid from the taxes of your fellow citizens for being violated by the government, be happy." No, they should still be pissed for being violated, and we should be pissed that our public servants have no regard for the rights of citizens because when they violate people the punishment is placed on the people and not them. It's absurd.
I love how they kept their calm and didn’t show any signs that they were about to make a complaint. They caught them completely off guard with that lawsuit I bet
And that’s how you should do it. Play the role and then hit them with the lawsuit. That way they have nothing to use against you. I wish more understood it looks so much better in court when the jury sees the video footage and you were 100% cooperative and they were 100% in the wrong.
Don’t argue and fight them while it’s taking place, record and let an attorney go after them.
Had to, can't escalate and risk getting shot in front of your kid. Only cops are allowed to escalate, you have to stay calm and then tear them apart in court
That's why it's important to have god in your life. Treat others with respect but you wrong me and cast the first stone. Justice will be done. Says so in the Bible.
@@elmer8107 Well spoken,cops will just arrest you for an unlawful reason,so these people did the right thing.
@@tonyweaver2353 god isnt real bro.
My guy is a true gentleman..he knew they were BSn him... Let them do what they wanted to do, no fuss and shook their hands. Knowing he was going to sue
The very first thing that happens when a Cop gets behind a vehicle, is the tag "Gets Run". This Officer knew about the suspended license and wanted additional charges to pad his arrest records. The fabrication of "Not using a turn signal", is always the simplest way to get a driver to attempt to lie or flee. Most simple traffic violations are not pursued, if additional charges develop during the stop. We've all seen several videos of Officers claiming a turn signal was used, but not 150 feet prior to a turn or lane change. These are petty violations, but when the stop fails to yield additional charges, these petty violations are an Officers only means to evade an unlawful stop complaint.
The narrator says "I certainly can not fault him for prioritizing his family's safety over his Constitutional rights".
The fact that in the United States (you know, the land of the free) this is a rational statement reflecting the reality that asserting said rights likely endangers your family is a sad truth indeed.
I was thinking the same. It's really sad that a citizen is that concerned about police harming his family that they're all willing to get trampled.
Honestly yeah if he’d have said no I don’t consent to a search as a black person they’d have drawn their guns and dragged him out of the car and both he and his wife would have been handcuffed facedown on the sidewalk and his son would have been traumatised
"The land of the free" is propaganda. -_-
that’s why cops bully & intimidate
This actually proves that fighting in court rather than on the street is better. The driver had to deal with some BS, but got a $75k payday out of it.
75 grand isn't enough. The lawyers get a third, so it is 50. I would have taken it to court. People from the community in the jury, probably would have gone much higher.
Taxes also
No one lost their job. No one received additional training. No one admitted wrongdoing. No one from the family is allowed to speak on the matter. The taxpayers foot the bill. The boys in blue win again. What terrible excuse for a lawyer allows this to happen?
You may have taken it to court. But you would not be able to find a willing lawyer.
Lawyers are part of the corrupt system.
They all want to do the the least amount of work possible.
The problem with “ taking it to court “ if I understand it right is that if you lose you have to pay a lot of money to the state and possibly your attorney. You might get a jury full of boot lickers or a crooked judge.
You would think so… but juries can sometimes give unexpected results.
Many years ago, my father filed an age discrimination lawsuit against the company that had laid him off along with a bunch of his 40-50-something colleagues.
The judge was flabbergasted when the jury came back with a not guilty verdict, and apparently the body language of the company lawyers also indicated surprise at the result.
75K is still a blessing! Thx Louisville!
These videos are incredible
It truly SICKENS me to watch the so called police officers harass this family like this!
To be fair, the vast majority of inner city blacks do break a ton of laws, and generally have a very ignorant way about them, that gets them in constant trouble.
@@Miodrag.Vukomanovic Jesus, man.

@@Miodrag.Vukomanovic That is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time.
@@Miodrag.Vukomanovic sir your nazi is showing
This is infuriating to watch! This was never a traffic stop, purely a fishing expedition. Every interaction like this demoralizes and is dehumanizing.
I needed to hear these exact words thank you
Infuriating was the word I was about to write as well. I can't imagine what it's like to be a person of color and subject to repeated harassment and "fishing" from corrupt cops. If this person was white, at most it would've been a quick citation for the turn signal then on their way. Of course, the cops would've never fabricated the turn signal BS in the first place. This is honestly depressing to watch. Police are broken and nobody is coming to fix them
Thank you! I think I asked abt the poisonous tree rule applied to something like this.
as someone who’s been pulled over for a similar thing the only thing they say is why they pulled me over, asked for my license and registration, handed me a ticket and then went on about their business. immediately talking about guns and drugs and making him get out of the car over a turn signal that HE USED is completely unacceptable.
"shaking like a leaf" means absolutely nothing. Cops make me nervous regardless of what I'm doing.
Yea same. He knows exactly why the guy was nervous
Yeah even I would be shaking if a US cop pulled me over. I have interacted with cops twice when I was in Canada and both were pleasant experiences. Once I was lost they escorted me to the general area. The other time we were out of towners so they just let us go as we sped a bit by mistake.
*Gets pulled over for "failed turn signal"*
Cops: He must have drugs and guns. There is no other explanation.
Smh
In all my life no one I know has been frisked after pulled over for a traffic issue. It was so normal for those cops. Just awful.
In the good ole days they would plant something and seize the property .....and put this citizen in a cage .......THANK YOU BODY AND DASH CAMS FOR THE TRUTH !
These people have a beautiful family and did not deserve that. I’m glad they were compensated.
I LOVE how they didn't get into an argument with the cops. Just let them make their mistakes and then contacted an attorney.
5 officers for 'failure to use a turn signal'. Lol OK 👍
The driver deserves a round of applause or a trophy. He used the reverse card on the police. He acted all nice as if they were friends . Followed their directions smiled and after he sued that ass. They didn't see it coming.
Just like a detective that interviews an individual as if he's your friend trying to help you. Then next thing you know you're on the grill, well done. I would have loved to see the look on their faces.
I'm certain my hands were likely shaking the handful of times I've been pulled over in my life. It's a startling thing to happen to you...especially when you're not sure why they pulled you over in the first place. The last time I was pulled over was in 2020 at 2 a.m. and yea...it made me nervous. Turned out to be that my license plate light burnt out lol.
This is EXACTLY how policing used to be before people started recording them, except it would've been been a lot worse. I'm glad they decided to file a lawsuit, and people got to see that racial profiling exists - it's crazy to think that some people still don't think it's real.
Recording these interactions has done little to nothing to change anything. You can spend WEEKS binge watching videos like this, on this channel and others like it. And when you are done, you get to watch a new one every couple hours or so. It is not stopping. It is not getting better. You knock one evil bastard down, another half dozen pop up to take his place.
I would say profiling period! I don’t understand why everyone thinks that only black people get this treatment! They do it to white people Asian Mexican anyone they think they can bust for something! Usually poorer people who can’t afford to fight them! But seriously they don’t care who it is ! Please stop thinking that way they are ass holes to everyone they choose! They know what they can get away with and they know we can’t afford the hole court proses it is them against us and they have everything in there corner and don’t have to worry or pay the bills !
@@danielduncan6806 It use to be way worse than this especially for black folks and even white folks. Cops use to be charged up completelty when they pulled a person over back in the day but now they're somwhat calm now.
That's because you have to be a different type of shitty person to actually act on your prejudices. We all prejudge people based on what we see but you shouldn't act on those prejudgments blindly if that irony makes sense.
@@danielduncan6806 How many good cops does it take to change a lightbulb? Impossible question to answer since good cops have never changed anything.
"You're shaking like a leaf" Yeah no shit with cop thugs surrounding the vehicle like this guy did something wrong. Police need to recognize people are afraid of them for good reason. Even those who did absolutely nothing.
I remember seeing a video of a man, already handcuffed, where they sent a K9 after him. He was screaming and struggling BECAUSE HE WAS BEING MAULED BY A DOG, and they had the nerve to demand him to 'stop resisting' and 'keep still.' Physically he couldn't, because he was being ripped up by a dog. Fear is a natural biological response when in a situation like this, and using 'you're shaking like a leaf' as a reason for suspicion when you're surrounded by cops acting aggressive and questioning you about weapons and drugs is completely illogical.
GREAT POINT!
If that is how they handle EVERY traffic stop, They had better NEVER meet up with me!!!!!
This is heart breaking....
If accountability is such a good thing, why do cops need immunity from criminal/civil consequences? It's pretty hypocritical to preach accountability *while hiding behind a shield of immunity...*
Wow you got them lol. Ha! Owned! You told them! Absolutely SCHOOLED!
@@bipolarexpress9827 I don't recognize the authority of a hypocrite. I will hold myself as accountable as cops hold themselves.
Well, there's good reasons for the immunity. It protects them from tons of normal, everyday, not illegal activities.
If you would lie to the liars, you would be sitting in jail. They are trained to lie to you tho
Never thought of this. You as are so right.
Why did they remove him from the car for a turn signal, especially when video shows the blinker was going? This is so disturbing! The passengers do not have to identify themselves and certainly not provide a social security number! I hope these poor citizens have in the meantime educated themselves!
And what about the ruling to not extend a traffic stop beyond the scope of the original infraction? A blinker “violation” turned into 30 mins of being frisked and searched!
Because he’s Black.
5 cops doing a pretextual stop. They lied about the reason for the stop because they wanted to search the black peoples car.
That sweet kind lady was not ARMED AND DANGEROUS!!!
Really no diffent than nazi Germany ! Sadly, these "things" ARE only going to get much worse. "Things" ARE setup this way and most (the masses) have no clue what's going on and what's going 2 be happening.
Cops pulled me over for not putting my seat belt on the second I leave a gas station. I always always always put my seat belt on. For some reason they ripped me out of my car, searched me and my gf, tore apart my car and didn't find shit. They left me with a ticket for no seat belt and my gf bruised wrists.
So the whole reason for them pulling him over was a lie and they treat him like a violent criminal? Good job officers 🤦♂️ The scariest part about it is it's his word vs yours and who do you thinks going to win that argument?
