This couple is sound asleep in their bed, inside their home, located in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Meanwhile, their paranoid, elderly neighbor calls 911, thinking there is an intruder inside her home. Rather than going to the elderly neighbor’s home, which was very well described by the 911 dispatcher, and relayed to the officers, the officers instead opted to just guess. They guessed wrong, and entered into the home of an innocent family, guns drawn…
When the Columbine Valley Police Department (Colorado), using their dystopian flock surveillance system, saw a green Rivian truck driving down the same street, in the same town, 20 times over the course of a month, they became suspicious. But even more suspicious than that, the driver of the Rivian truck was a woman with blonde hair… So when a $25 package went missing from a porch in that neighborhood that the blonde bandit was driving her 70 thousand dollar truck through on a daily basis, it obviously must have been her. At that point the government did what any good dystopian government agency would do, they sent a rude, bald member of their goon squad to the woman’s front door to lie to her; gaslight her; and threaten her.
Cpl. Charles Mills of the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office (Georgia) busted in a mom’s house without a warrant and illegally arrested her in front of her young children – basically doing exactly what the US Supreme Court said many years ago that police officers are not allowed to do (because it would be unconstitutional). Nevertheless, the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office told the local TV news media that their deputy did nothing wrong – essentially gaslighting the public, lying about the law, as well as the facts. Obviously I can’t allow that to happen….
Gerald Shields saw an unusually large number of cop cars at a traffic stop. He began filming them from across the public street. No yelling, no interference, no threats. Just recording what police officers were doing – in public, from a safe distance. But minutes later, Gerald was face-down on the ground, injured, and under arrest. The alleged crime? Improperly crossing the street. But as it turns out, that wasn’t actually a crime. The officers were just harassing Gerald because he was filming them. They didn’t even deny it…
Remember the video from two weeks ago showing a Leon County (Florida) deputy who was so paranoid, that he sees a guy (Robert) parked at a gas pump, with a gas pump in his hand, trying to pump some gas, and he immediately thinks it’s something else in his hand? At one point in the video an off-duty out-of-state police officer at the scene walks into the gas station and interacts with the deputy. He reached out to me and provided his own footage (and explanation) about what happened…
This disabled military veteran was completely confused when police officers showed up at his home one evening, telling him they wanted him to step outside and talk. When he wisely said no, even though they had no warrant, the officers then barged into his home in front of his entire family, handcuffing him, threatening to tase him, and throwing him to the ground, injuring him in front of his shocked family. Then these cops realized that, oops, they were at the wrong person’s house.
Why? They were looking for a shoplifter who allegedly stole $150 worth of shrimp from a Winn Dixie who was not him, and who didn’t even match his description. That’s bad enough. But the most shocking thing about it is that an entire group of police officers thought they were entitled to just barge in a guy’s home without a warrant? Every government employee from top to bottom responsible for this must be held accountable.
Remember this guy who was in his car reading a book in a gas station parking lot, waiting for a thunderstorm to pass? Officer John LaValley of the Athens-Clarke Police Department (Georgia) arrested him for not providing his ID just because the gas station clerk was worried that he had been in the gas station parking lot for too long. I did a video on it about 5 months ago. Well now that criminal case has gone to court, and the innocent guy who was arrested (John Choe) won. But it’s not over yet.
Imagine it’s Christmas Eve. You’ve just returned from a family cruise, you’re tired but happy, and you can’t wait to get home for the holidays. Instead, you’re suddenly surrounded by deputies, handcuffed in front of your children, and told you’re under arrest for a crime you didn’t commit. That’s exactly what happened to Jennifer Heath Box, a 50-year-old mother from Texas, who ended up spending 75 miserable hours in a Florida jail… all because police got the wrong Jennifer. I first told you her story 8 months ago, telling you about the lawsuit the Institute For Justice filed on her behalf, asking you to send them donations to help fund their efforts. Now I have a big update on that lawsuit, that many of you helped make a reality.
Imagine that a law abiding, completely innocent, Texas oilfield worker is just driving to a worksite and back one day as a part of his job, and his government, who is spying on him from some secret base somewhere, where a spy named Kiki is wondering why he was making the trip in one day, as opposed to two… And so he directs a secretive unit of Texas deputies, who were trained by the highly respected legal scholar, “Dennis,” a former cop who runs Street Cop Training – since banned from training police in his home state of New Jersey – to pull over the innocent oilfield worker, and using the Jedi-mind tricks they learned from Dennis, along with an alert from a drug dog who has never NOT alerted for them, reveal the truth that the innocent oilfield worker is actually a mastermind cartel smuggling kingpin… Except that he isn’t.
After detaining him for an hour and searching every inch of his truck, the deputies let the guy go. But the guy is pissed, and he complains. Internal Affairs said they did nothing wrong. So he calls the Institute for Justice. They investigate and file a lawsuit. They also tell this West Virginia lawyer with a YouTube channel, who is sort of just starting out, about the case, and he does a video on it that goes viral… Which in turn causes Internal Affairs to reopen the case and fire the deputy. And at his termination hearing, the deputy complains that the YouTube video left a lot of stuff out of the video – and that it’s just not fair… That would be crazy, wouldn’t it? Well it all happened, just like that. And more….

UPDATE to yesterday’s video about the incident in Huntington, West Virginia, where two women were threatened and forced to stop recording the arrest of a homeless man. As it turns out, the arrest was captured by a county surveillance camera, which shows the man’s head being slammed into the police cruiser by a Cabell County Sheriff’s Office deputy, as the actual elected sheriff (Doug Adams) casually observes from a few feet away. It also shows the Chief Deputy, Chuck Zerkle, grabbing a woman who witnessed the head slam attempting to record what was happening from a public sidewalk, as was more fully discussed in yesterday’s video. But, the video has apparently been altered…
