That Canadian cop needs to be reprimanded more than just a simple "demotion." He wasted Michael's time, his freedom, could've cost him his job. He wasted time looking for and investigating the real culprit. He wasted his man hours, that I'm presuming Canadian citizens pay for. It's not sloppy police work, it's arrogance. I wouldn't even trust him to work at a library filing books away.

@Kevin Reyes you've got to be a troll 🤣🤣🤣🤣

KT M I never said it didn’t have flaws. People don’t understand how privileged they are to live in the US, that was my point. As for my Crowder example, my point was that he has stated that the police are much worse in Canada (if you have his good morning mug club you can look for it). And I already admitted either way that my evidence was bad. I did this a long time ago.

@Adam Carmen But...you were the one who STARTED with the anecdotal evidence by implying one man (Crowder) choosing to leave Canada for the U.S. was evidence that U.S. cops don't act badly. If anything your use of an anecdote as the basis of your opinion was worse than his because it wasn't even firsthand.

And yeah, it's true: people don't tend to react well to generalized statements like yours, but it's usually because they're difficult and (more often than not) pointless to try reasoning with. They also tend to lack any nuance or logic not formed from overt bias which just makes for a reductive and frustrating worldview to listen to other people defend.

As for your other comment: police systems being worse in other countries does not exempt the U.S. system from having flaws, that's an absurd logic. That's like saying if you punch a puppy it's okay and there's no need to correct the behavior in future because somewhere someone else has killed one.
They aren't mutually exclusive and one being worse doesn't automatically make the other acceptable.

@Austin Haha yeah that made my fucking night. Asking Steven Crowder what's wrong with him is the only worthy question

@Duane Degn Dont forget there are people who have fought for decades against bogus arrests. You and I are lucky, maybe to a different degree, but both our stories are important

@HartInCMajor That's tough. I only had to spend a few hours fighting my bogus arrest.

It's a legitimate strategy.

You pretend you know beyond a doubt they did it and have the evidence to back it up.

It just so happened this time they didn't have the right guy.

I really feel for Michael but the detective was just using a common tactic (lying)

(Haven't finished the video yet though so we will see. Is he still charged with it after all of his refusals? )

David Klein call me naive, but just know that you threw insults at a child before I did. You acted as if I attacked you in some way, I never even said anything to you. I made a general statement, but people can’t handle that and people like you decide to take anecdotal evidence and spew it like it means something. Well guess what? My father went to prison wrongfully for a night, they thought he hadn’t payed a ticket that he had, after they found out he did pay it he got compensated and went along his daily routine. It’s easy to spew anecdotal evidence as if it means anything.

@HartInCMajor I thought I was. I may be in with a chance then lol I'm from UK

Many law enforcement officers barely meet the basic standards of civilization

Shiiva Inu you’re correct actually, my analogy was wrong. But that doesn’t mean I was wrong. I still believe our police system is fine, because if you look at most other countries in the world put police system looks like heaven. Also, what about our police system would you change? Genuinely curious.

@Kevin Reyes I hope you mean "prosecute". "Persecute" means to treat someone poorly on purpose based on their race, religion, sexual orientation or other socially differing factor. Then again, maybe you do want that since you're so on the side of the cop.

Dude be happy something happened. In the US, nothing would happen but an internal investigation, while they were either put on desk duty or suspended WITH pay. Once that was done, the chief of police would say that the police were justifiable in their behavior, and they may even get a promotion later on down the road.

Austin Paradiso k, you can claim my comment is funny but you didn’t debunk anything.

@Adam Carmen  My god... you are naive.  I once went on a ride along with a cop who told me outright that they tag a "resisting arrest" charge to people they arrest as insurance against claims of excessive force.  It's also why you see videos of cops in the dog pile on a suspect yelling, Stop resisting! Stop Resisting!  Even when the suspect is responding that they aren't resisting.

@Adam Carmen Lmao steven crowder? Might aswell get your info from some senile old man on facebook bro

That's a UK cop who has joined the Canadian force.  I'm in the UK, and sadly, there are a few corrupt officers who are like this.  Chances are he's been on his last leg in the UK force, and miraculously got into Canada.

It's certainly really bad to ignore all descriptions of the suspect and not check whether you've got the right guy.

@Kevin Reyes Yeah, not corroborating a suspect's allibi and letting him stew in jail for 3 days until another detective completely unrelated to the case has to do it for you is definitely good police work.

@Quarantine Bunny you would be wrong in your assumption

I spent 3 years arguing a level 5 felony in the states that I didnt commit because I was tall and worked at the facility, the detectives, frankly, had other shit to do and wanted to close on the case.<br>As far as I'm aware those detectives are still with the department.

That cop in canada is british. I thought u had to be born in Canada and usa to join their police forces?

@Adam Carmen I'm sorry but that is an extremely bad take from an extremely unreliable source. The United States police absolutely act this way, and people are wrongfully convicted in the tens of thousands at least. One person's anecdotal hatred of Canada proves nothing about the US investigators.

@Adam Carmen lol "Ask Steven Crowder" has to be the funniest thing I've ever heard anyone say in a YouTube comment.

Dude probably would've had two chunks of lead in his chest if he was in the States, and even if he hadn't gotten shot, he almost certainly would have spent weeks in jail because our bloated criminal justice system runs like Windows Vista with ten anti-virus softwares installed.

the "the issue here isnt whether or not you're guilty because i have enough evidence to say you are" like ??? from how the story was told it sounded like there was no evidence aside from the fact that they saw him somewhat near the crime scene

ψ 『W』『H』『0』 『5』 ψ

Have wisdom. What percent of the time does this happen? Can you reasonably, intelligently, expect it to be 0% in the many thousands of cases a year and who knows how many cases a decade? You want the percentage to be absolutely as low as realistically possible, and for the wrongly accused to be more than reimbursed for their pain, but there is a nonzero percentage minimum for this happening in our primitive, human judicial system.

Adam Carmen if you think that you’d be surprised what any cop / detective is capable of

Kirill Prokopenko In the US our police don’t act this way. Ask Steven Crowder, he’s a Canadian who moves to the US because Canada sucks.

Seems like he brought a few "tricks" from across the pond

@Kirill Prokopenko they'd get promotions for sure

In US I'm pretty sure nothing would happen at all to those cops


I would have instantly ask to see the video!!!


And the shit of it was it was 46k CAD and not USD.  What a flipping travesty for this poor man.


That's honestly just how it is for us men out here, yall seeing the whole Johnny Depp situation I can assure you theres a million cases like that just go unnoticed. Here in Pakistan we had a similiar situation with this singer and actor called Ali Zafar, it is scary how just some words and accusations can ruin your everything that you spent your whole life building


This is sad. It's like watching a person be tortured, but only in a psychological way.

@ann Well then, enlighten me. What is it that the above posters were suggesting in the first place?

@ian ian the guy you're replying to isn't saying the black/white guys are acting like that BECAUSE they're their races, they're just using the terms to identify between them lmao

you're absolutely right, being black does have nothing to do with this at all. but that's not what they were suggesting in the first place either

@Watermelon Man what?!  I was civil?  What came over me, oh well, now I know better for next time ;)  take care

@mollkatless Well that’s okay. Everyone doesn’t have to agree. I still appreciate the civil discussion here. At the very least I have taken away that sometimes you have to do more than most would deem necessary to get to the truth and the issue just lies with where every places that line of what’s considered necessary. Thanks again for maintaining civility in this encounter.

@Watermelon Man we will have to agree to disagree.  You act as if the interrogation is superfluous, and I am saying in some cases it is the make or break

@mollkatless Again, we’re on two separate pages. You’re speaking as if this is the last resort to keep this investigation going. It’s been a couple days and I’ve since flooded my brain with tons of new information so my memory of this video is a little foggy, but I’m fairly certain that this man was arrested and interrogated the same day the crime happened so it’s very fresh and open to many outcomes, but this officer was lazy and rushing to get something since he didn’t even review the evidence yet. Also, you’re speaking broadly. I’m speaking about specific situations like in this video. Obviously, the more severe the crime is, you have more pressure to catch the perp so you want to do it as soon as possible to prevent more crime. However, these were robberies I believe (again, it’s been a couple of days). And I made it clear in my last comment that the issue isn’t with the practice of interrogation itself, it’s with the tactics used within the realm of interrogation because in all honesty, if you have evidence that clearly points to someone but isn’t concrete, I can let that warrant for this kind of treatment. There is no valid reason to press a person for information you have already in custody and charged on the day of the crime before you even reviewed any evidence. There’s no threat of reoffending if the person is in a cell. The evidence clearly exonerated this man, so the interrogation shouldn’t have even taken place.

@Watermelon Man I think your approach is naive,  there are instances where an investigation road blocks with needing an explanation from the accused - due to inconclusive physical evidence, or witness testimony.  Underneath the legality of interrogations is faith that innocent people won't, cant, be proven guilty of something they did not do.  A strong alibi, a complete lack of physical evidence, cell phone records, etc.  Does that happen, sure but rarely (should never happen).  The risk of course is that without a means of applying some psychological stress, many murderers would never confess to their crimes, and be released, and able to murder again

I will ask again, what would you replace interrogation with?

@mollkatless There’s the problem. We’re on two different pages. You’re discussing legality. I’m discussing the tactics, purpose, and morality. Obviously I know that under the law, what they’re doing is legal. That’s not my point. My whole point is that if you don’t ACTUALLY have concrete evidence, don’t act like it. Treat it like an ongoing investigation and keep investigating instead of trying to fish for quick convictions for whatever reason.

@Watermelon Man First, it is not "literally torture".  Both the US constitution and NATO recognize legal interrogation - context matters.  2nd, there are limits to how long a person can be legally held without charges, again a constitutional right in the US, in Canada, the same right exists, so the clock is indeed ticking.

How would you like to see an interrogation be conducted?  I assume you would be against physical force, you don't seem to like psychological stress, how would you discern the who is innocent and guilty at the initial stage?

@mollkatless This is an intimidation move to induce stress/fear to coerce an admission of guilt or full on confession out of him. That is literally what torturing is. When someone is tortured as a POW, they are intimidated or harmed into giving up information they are presumed to have. This is what is happening here, but with psychological torture. It was unnecessary because they already had him under arrest, so it’s not like they had to hurry and get something or he could walk. Just because you call it a common interrogation tactic doesn’t mean it’s not torture. That just means that interrogation is commonly torturous

@Watermelon Man you didn't understand what was happening.

Yes, they presumed he was guilty, and acted as if they had all the facts, a common interrogation technique, but they didn't know he was innocent and interrogate him anyway - what would be the point?

@Goofy Goober Yes. That is true. Police corruption does, indeed, exist. However, I don't see how we can conclude that the interrogation is an example of this. We were talking about the African-American suspect that was interrogated by the police officer.

@Voldemortadella The government works in the interests of the country (e.g. it's people). The people might not always agree (due mostly to misinformation and ignorance), but at least they are always involved in the process through voting. The average Joe Smith is not a qualified military strategist, political analyst, or economist. It's best to simply vote in people you can trust and leave the technical decision-making to the experts.

I can't see how it functions as a business. A business is interested in transforming Capital assets into other products/services that is then sold for profit. A government, which is funded through involuntary taxes, makes decisions on behalf of its people.

@ian ian If you know who he is & we agree that death was not a just punishment for his crime, then surely sir or madam, you can see that at least one case of that behavior occurred between law enforcement personnel & United States citizens.

@ian ian i meant to says thousands and yes the state government and federal dont always work in the interest of the people. They function as more of a business

@Voldemortadella The government is "going against its people"? How? Care to elaborate on such a vague and ominous message. Sounds like a conspiracy the way you put it.

There's definitely Something wrong. But could you be just a bit more specific ?

Millions? could you provide a source for this? What does "over the years" mean? one, two, ten, What?

@Goofy Goober I didn't say it was.Where'd you get that idea?

I was just listing facts about the guy, you know, for context. After all, it was you who asked me whether I "ever heard the name George Floyd?" The answer is yes. I think we all have, by now.

@ian ian if the government is going against its own people and trying to incarcerate them then something is horribly wrong and thats exactly what this is. Millions of people are falsely imprisoned in the u.s. over the years

@ian ian So murder is a just punishment for using counterfeit currency?

@Goofy Goober I might have heard the name somewhere or another... Oh, wait, now I remember. Yes, it was that guy who was killed by a cop for using counterfeit currency at a store (while high on drugs). Yes, quite the hero, that one. I heard he pointed a shotgun at a pregnant woman's torso and robbed her house. I also heard that he had a history of violent crime and drug abuse. Indeed, this gentle giant will be sorely missed, for he contributed so much to our society. May he rest in peace.

In any case, I don't see how this case applies in the context of this particular interrogation.  Especially since the two cases are spaced several years apart and in different settings altogether. Remember, I'm not arguing that police corruption and brutality don't exist, merely that this particular police interrogation does not constitute this.

Would you be so kind as to spell out the connection there?

@Voldemortadella I had trouble reading your response because of the ALL CAPS. But I think I understood the text. Still disagree with it, though.

So If I "teased" you, any day of the week, with "spending" your life in a "fucking cage," would that make me a torturer? That's a pretty broad and vague definition of torture.

So no, It does not clear it up. Care to clarify (without screaming this time please)?

@ian ian I can proof at least one case which shows that this sort of behavior exists. For example have you ever heard the name George Floyd?

@ian ian ITS TORTURE BECAUSE THEY ARE TEASING HIM WITH THE THOUGHT OF HIM SPENDING HIS LIFE IN A FUCKING CAGE FOR SOMETHING HE DIDNT DO. Psychological torture. They have all the power. Does that clear it up?

Make this happen for years on end, and you have gangstalking

Make this happen for years on end, and you have gangstalking

@Tsrenis Damn, that’s crazy. I didn’t know that you sat in on 51% or more of the police interrogations that occur.

@Watermelon Man Uh buddy sorry to break it to you but that's how most police interrogations go

Black guy who is smart. He is intelligent enough to know if he raises his voice to a corrupt cop, he will  be charged with more injustice. He heard the stories. He knows of the injustices. This shouldnt be surprising that he cant act like the white guy. He cannot afford to act enraged. Those before him have been beaten and raped in jail and worse. By cops and by jailmates who cops ordered them to do so. This “justice” system is soooo f—-ed.

@ian ian No. this interviewer blatantly stated that the interrogation was not a matter of guilt or innocence because he “KNEW” that man was guilty already. This is clearly not a real interrogation and is just an obvious case of psychological abuse. He’s fabricating facts in order to convince this innocent man that he is not innocent. Fortunately it didn’t work, but that’s what the goal was without a doubt

@Dog the question of "innocence" is why the interregation happens in the first place.

@ian ian 100% torture. You can drive an innocent person insane why interrogating someone innocent as if they are the perpetrator

@ian ian no definitely torture, I mean one big thing they do towards the end when they know what the person did if that they emotionally exhaust the person to the point where they just give up. They also find other ways to paint them to be guilty, innocent or not.

Torture is a bit much. It's definatly an interrogation, though.


First case doesn't the bus have cameras? The man even point out to the evidence and that incompetent cop keep saying that from the evidence I have.... Second now à days the phones have gps working even when it is not connected for sure that the service network can fetch the signal. It is incomprehensible how these cases can happen. The FBI can recover sms files photos in fact a good hacker can help.


Why is none talking about Justin going crazy about his innocence. I felt the worst for him. Just out of prison trying to get his life back on track and some random person decides to ruin his life.

You could see his anxiety ramp up. I don't think he had a good time in prison. I felt really bad for the guy.

@nothingmuch* you are definitely not over the age of 16

More like, save those who falsely accused him

@d Does sound like a probable scenario for sure.

@Corvidae i just read that apparently justin slept with candy, and candy’s boyfriend got angry and beat her in the house (he was on house arrest from the domestic charge i guess) and they tried to pin it on justin. not sure if that’s true tho

If that even happens to me, Lord save the investigator

I haven't seen the entire thing yet, but it almost sounds like a setup.<br>When he said she was proven to lie on the stand and Justin mentioned that she's gotten her ex arrested for domestic violence, sounds like he attacked her and now they're both blaming it on Justin for some reason.

Michael should have received at least a million!


Good to hear the investigators were demoted. This is terrible


Why isn't the investigator in the last video not show? Hiding his identity?


That 2nd guy, the girl "candy" who picked him out of a lineup should be thrown in jail for the same amount of time he did for making shit up and getting an innocent man put in jail.

@Gurken Gerd there's a difference between mistakenly picking the wrong person out of a lineup and intentionally lying and making up a story about them to get them in trouble. That should be punished with jail time.

@Luke S pretty much just an American thing. The justice system in the US is fucked. In the UK, eyewitness testimony is at best only supportive evidence, as it has been proven to be extremely unreliable. There are many examples in the US of people being jailed on eyewitness testimony alone and then later proven to be completely innocent.

@Gamunu Bandara yeah, Im pretty sure I wouldn’t forgive that person because If I were in that situation my life would be ruined….something like that can’t go forgiven, it’s just impossible for me

@Gurken Gerd you'd rather innocent people go to jail because the victim is 30% sure and has a justice system pushing them for a suspect? Sounds like justice to me....

But you know that will probably not happen considering she’s a woman they can accuse a random white or black guy for assault etc and divorce men and take half our money but no we can’t do that to them    It’s just the harsh reality of life

@noreal namelol brother mine, that’s why I said it should be given less weight.

@Gamunu Bandara here's the problem: What if all the eye-witnesses are the friends of a person that hates you?

@Gurken Gerd you would still have to prove that the innocent intentionally lied

Gurken Gerd The “falsely accused” part and the fact that her testimony came apart on the stand makes this different than a regular person picking someone out of a lineup. Fraud and lying to police is supposed to be punishable.

@Lindsey yup it’s. And they both are incredible human beings.

@Gamunu Bandara Oh of course not, I just think it's an interesting story

@Gurken Gerd doing this is NOT realistic. As the person falsely accused will be going in for sexual assault. But misleading a jury is a far more lesser crime. <br>That being said, eyewitness should be considered less important and given less weight in an assault case, because DNA, and other hard evidence is, although not perfect are pretty rigorous.

@Gurken Gerd is picking someone out of a lineup just an American thing? I don’t recall ever seeing it being used here in the UK.

You’re right that people wouldn’t want to pick anyone if they aren’t 100% sure out of fear of being wrong, but that’s exactly why it’s a stupid process in the first place. If they can’t be 100% certain there’s no point in doing it surely?

Not a great idea. If you do this, no witness will ever point someone out if they arent 100% sure out of fear for mistaking someone and going to jail instead.

@Lindsey prolly the luckiest guy alive.<br>And no. You cannot expect everyone to forgive like he did.

@Lindsey prolly the luckiest guy alive.
And no. You cannot expect everyone to forgive like he did.

I suggest you learn about Jennifer Thompson and Ron Cotton, very interesting stuff


46000 for 3 days in jail. Yessssssss. Yessssssss


Please tell me he sued for a mass amount of money


proof that this isn't just a problem in the US


I think the first guy is so calm because he truly believes nothing bad would happen to him, whereas the second guy can't be sure and knows how bad the situation will be if he has to go back to jail.

Not a normal reaction though,  even calm people 99 times out of a hundred flip out when accused of a crime in this manner.   <br>Had they looked at actual evidence better this interview wouldn't have even been necessary though.

@🪐🌛 why do you disagree? This makes a lot of sense.

It's actually amazing the difference between, "we have an eye witness" and "we have you on video tape".  Eye witness is your word against theirs, and once an investigator signals that they believe the witness over you, you're fucked. The tape, we tend to believe, will always show the truth and no one can argue with it. So being told it was "caught on tape" must have a calming effect.


Truth truth truth truth as he sits there lying and lying trying to badger him into a confession. I am all about supporting the system but ppl like this cause the distrust that is there.


This woman 'Candy' had a man incarcerated for 2 YEARS with just her words. Nothing more. I wonder what her punishment, if any, was..


Crying for these people man.  Over some he said she said shit.


Clearly Michael was guilty of being tall and black when he should have been short and white to make the cop's job easier. Yes, why didn't they ask the bus driver like Michael suggested?


@siukong im willing and appreciative,.. but also doesn't mean i will lol could be the adhd

@Brandon People willing to watch a 20+ minute video about interrogations will be willing to spend an extra minute or two reading some extra facts about the case.

Even in this, which is probably the best case scenario for how it could have turned out, I would hesitate to call it a "happy ending".

- the guy had to spend 3 days in jail
- he had another 9 months of restrictive bail conditions (including a curfew) until prosecutors finally dropped all charges
- he tried complaining to police, but was not provided with a complaint form. Only after complaining to a civilian commission were charges laid.
- the trial took almost 8 years to be resolved - hardly something you want to have hanging over your head, and constantly have to be worrying about for almost a decade.
- over that time he seems to have accumulated over $80,000 in legal expenses (lawyers are expensive). Presumably this was mostly paid out of pocket until the trial when this was part of the judgment awarded to him. That's a helluva lot of costs to accumulate, not to mention all the income lost devoting hundreds of hours to the case.
- in addition to the legal fees, he was awarded $25,000 in general damages, $11,200 in special damages and $10,000 in punitive damages.
- the officers were docked 3 days pay. when put that way it's rather more underwhelming than saying they were "punished and suspended".
- I can't find anything actually confirming they were demoted. in fact, one of them was actually PROMOTED to Sergeant in the intervening years. One of the four officers died, and his estate was absolved of any legal liability in the case.
- The Sergeant mentioned above continued to maintain even after the case and judgment completely exonerating Michael Dixon, that he had made the right decision.

What the heck?  QuickGG what are you doing in here?!

Not exactly a happy ending, imagine if there is no other person come in to look into this, that guy is 100% gonna be scapegoat for this crime he didn't do, because when the police already go over the line with suspect, they have to pay for the inconveniences it cause to the innocent, but if they just jail him, cost less, job done, and promotion as well.

I was wondering what this meant, when I read it before I finished the Video.<br>Video watched: „Hell yeaha, vouch dis!"

Unluckly life is not a fairytale and most of the times theres no happy ending

Short and sweet. Earned money, other guys demoted. Mwa.

@r alot of us just now getting the recommendation

Not for the other innocent dude who spent two years in jail for no reason

Idk. I still wanna curse that interrogator out.

@Carlos Morales that is hilarious thank you for saying that it made me smile.

after binging all the videos on this channel, this one was much needed and a good one to end the night on.

In this video we will be getting unlawfully arrested and have the interrogators choose our pokemon teams

I was looking for this exact comment, GG

Seeing ur comment was like seeing a weird crossover

Me too but sometimes I don't have the 20 dollars


Why didn’t they ask the bus driver or the passengers on the bus if he was on there? Or not take him in at all? He literally didn’t even fit the description..


I'm wanting help, is anyone here a professional who can point me in the right direction?  I'm in fear of my life and not sure what to do. It's a long complicated story but I know I'm innocent and others are guilty. My 2 therapists believe me as do my family and 2 close friends, a 3rd is skeptical. Please help me someone


that piece of crap detective just lied to get any easy arrest? wtf.


"We have a video tape."

"Oh, perfect, just review the tape."

"No, I-it-it's why w-we have n-no doubt about your guilt."

Real convincing dude.

@guiguismall1 Police do it for personal gain as the video mentioned in 16:57 . Police think of themselves, they dont care if your really guilty or innocent. They are the primary enemy of the people

@ella elise remember they can do what they want to try and get proof out of them. And plus if they say “we have pure proof” the person who responded confidently and positively Leo makes it look better for the person being accusated

@somerandom nameorsomething being a paralegal and having lived with a criminal defense attorney, you never talk to police. They are not your friend and only want a confession and conviction.

@Merc06 awesome "detective" work, wouldn't you say?

It’s almost as if they didn’t wanna go off again to find the actual culprit, though they knew damn well the dude they “caught” didn’t commit the crime.

@Lou Dont even talk without a lawyer. Ask fir an attorney off rip.

I loved that moment, u got the time stamp?

this is why you NEVER talk to the police. if they want to talk its because they dont have what they need to hold you. ALWAYS ask for a lawyer immediately.

“There’s- there’s a number of witnesses”
“Great!”
“One of whom had a video camera”
“Perfect!”

That whole exchange was brilliant. How could anyone watch this interrogation and think this guy commited the crime lmao

@SAM BRICKELL Sounds like the Georgie Floyd, just keep showing the pinning him down bit for a few weeks till the riots start, then quietly release the entire incident.

Wouldn't want people making up their own minds as to whether he requested every action they took now would we 🤷🏼♂

That's actually part of what happened during the interrogation of George Zimmerman.  But of course because the fucking trash in the White House at the time said "tRaYvOn CoUlD hAvE bEeN mY sOn", the local democrats tried to railroad a guilty verdict.

@Rick writes then they get aggressive and try and "detain you" next thing you know you on the news for being shot for resisting arrest. Smfh

@Slade Grey Same in US. Probably most places. Why you shpuld never even speak to them. Am I free to go? What am I being charged with? When can I see a lawyer?

Bruh this comment is getting likes faster than effing Rick Roll

@guiguismall1 my cousin had that happen to him police said they had pics of him and videos all were to low quality for anybody to even recognize them. Worst thing is we lived in a small town so all the cops were together in on it. Turns out it was somebody he knew they was trying to get to and they had to let him go.

Ask to see the tape. If they don't show you the indisputable tape evidence, that's when you know it's BS. "I want my lawyer". The tape will be viewed when the court convenes in the morning. If it doesn't get lost in the sauce before then that is.

That's how Canadian police work.  They lie to your face, just to get a conviction.

@ella elise sadly it's not, interrogation and detectives are allowed to make as much false evidence as they wany

@guiguismall1 yup that shit should be illegal

Something similar happened to a friend of mine recently. Police had "guaranteed proof" that he had been filmed comitting a crime. He fought tooth and nail to get them to show him the footage, and when they eventually did, it turned out the quality was so low you couldn't possibly recognize anyone from the video. I find it abslutely disgusting that detectives are allowed to make up loads of bullshit to get people to confess, but ohwell. At least the dude in this video got really good compensation for the detective's incompetence.


The algorithm have blessed your channel.


as a male yeah as a women its inocent until proven guilty but even then they look for evidence to mitigate it or even get them out of the crime


Who is the Justin guy? Anyone have a link to an article explaining his situation and result?


The officers being suspended and demoted isn’t enough. They should’ve been fired permanently.

and barred and blacklisted from ever having any law enforcement or security career

@rAnDoM nAmE you sure? I thought it said he did end up going back for 2 years, cant watch it again rn though

Seriously, they don't even check to see if he even matches the damn description?!?

@Charles G He was sent to jail for 3 years because he broke into a house before, then he was falsely accused but was not sent to jail bro.

@James W - that’s the summary of the past year.

@Alexander Chess he didn't get punished because he was using so-called 'tactics' but because the suspect wasn't treated decently, which violated the suspect's rights

Cops never see justice for their crimes. It's a fact of life. The system is corrupt.

Even when fired, they typically move to a different county and attain employment there

Imagine all of the people that they've put away while being innocent..

Not really necessary unless the guy ended up in jail for years because he was falsely accused of robbery even though he didn't do it then, yes, the cop deserved to be fired permanently and thrown into the jail for as many years as the guy went through.

Even when people are awarded a settlement,   cops need to have their pensions penalized not the taxpayer. Even if the cops are fired, they get rehired in the next precinct. Furthermore, they have their own cop friends as the internal investigators for any wrong doing.

You’re 100% right! The cops who arrested the white guy and imprisoned him for TWO YEARS falsely, should be in jail! :)

I'm surprised anything was done at all...

These guys are so bad at their job literally putting innocent people in jail and imagine how many dangerous people they let go

Watch Lackluster's YouTube channel for government transparency and police accountability stuff. It's pretty enlightenment.

@Closed Loop Music yeah I don’t know what they were thinking, this should be enough for serious jail time even


So they caught this girl lying on the stand and the guy she was accusing still got 2 years? Thats screwed up dude

and she most likely got away with it too


So this is the incident of racial profiling because if you would notice when interviewing the black man they were very aggressive in adamant that he committed this crime but when the white man was interviewed he got belligerent and very aggressive and the investigator was very calm and I’m assuming the reason why this black man acted the way he did is because he knew he was getting racially profiled so the way he thought to get out of the situation it’s a Be compliant as possible and even try to find the person who did this so he can be in the clear the white man has no worries about the police because he know he doesn’t he didn’t do this and he knows that they can’t do anything until they have Harcourt Evidence because I am 100% sure that if the black male was acting that way they would’ve put him in handcuffs in charge him with failing to comply with officers and resisting arrest


Dude, props to Michael for keeping his cool. I'd be crying like a baby out of panic and fear.

@Jeagerist I would respond the exact same way tho. He already served time and was cleaning up his act just to get imprisoned on false charges due to his history. I would be fucking pissed as shit. There was no "acting calm" for Justin. They were going to throw him in the cell from the get go away because he had a past. Crappy fucking justice system is what it is.

@Jeagerist omg Fr? Even after they proved she lied?

@Jeagerist The video did mentioned how both cases ended, Michael's case is told at 20:10 to the end of the video


At least glad he got exonerated and the officers were demoted


Horrible thing is that once you are charged in the US it never goes away.  That charge stays on your record forever even if it was dismissed.  It doesn’t matter if you didn’t do it.  You can request one removal of one charge in your lifetime.   So if you had multiple charges at the time of your arrest you are screwed.  What if it happens again and you already did your one removal?  Not likely, but what if?  It can and sometimes will come back to bite you.


Dispatch: “Yea we’re looking for a small white male with hair”
Cops: “Yea we found the big tall bald black guy, we’re brining him in right away”
Dispatch: “But I sa….”
Cops: “Nope, we got him”

@FlaviusMaximus1967 funny how people somehow someway equate RACE and Politics like it’s bread and butter. That’s how you know

@Shampoo it’s almost like South Park commentates on real life issues 👀

@Jeff -66 The reason they abjectly lied to him about his guilt being unquestionable is because of an interrogation method called the futility technique.

@Maxie Karn oh, wait. Were you talking about OP? Didn't actually notice his profile pic until I was leaving this page. Lol

@Maxie Karn mate, it's a .5 second google search to find out the full details of the case. Spoiler alert, he was not a southern Italian man.

It’s no wonder he got suspended and demoted.

The Zodiac escaped because the same thing happened: the cops were busy with a black man while the Zodiac was still nearby

That sounds like a family guy episode haha

@Valnera It was the first thing brought up as a mistake the COP made.  Short white guy is reported to have robbed a store.  They pick up a large black man and arrest him.  Racism, plain and simple.  Not my politics just an observation.

@Valnera Not black?  You watch the video????

@Valnera that dudes black man

You must need glasses

@FlaviusMaximus1967 Dude is not even black yet you have to bring your politics into it.

COP thoughts - the dudes black. that's all the evidence I need!  Lock him up!!!<br>Later that night COP watches news and sees BLM protesters and can't figure out why those people are so upset....

COP thoughts - the dudes black. that's all the evidence I need!  Lock him up!!!

It's like...straight out of a south park episode.


Folks need to learn the following. "STFU.  Don't talk to the police."  Invoke the 5th amdnt rights, and ask for an attorney.


Report said the thief was tom Holland, so we arrested Dwayne Jhonson


People need to stop talking to the police without an attorney.


"I'm not trying to give you a hard time" says the innocent man in a calm and sweet tone as he is being wrongfully accused of robbery and knowing he might spend the night on jail. Is this the nicest dude ever?

I would do the same tbh. Logic and reason is very helpful, and if you live using reason, you have no choice but to use it in your most dire times. It's the only thing that's helped you so far.

@Hold the Mayo Please true! Preconception is an ugly thing...

@Hold the Mayo Please Oh yeah, I thought he was staying the opposite. No I agree with him

@andsoitgoes What on earth are you talking about?

The joy of being black in police custody. That’s all I could think comparing the two. And the second guy languished in jail for 2 years because he made mistakes in the past. It’s like you can never escape that past regardless of how hard you try.

This probably is the best definition of this meme, where the dog sits in a burning room, while smiling and saying "This is fine"

I was amazed at how calm and collected he was...I'd have freaked out and paniced.


What a shitty police department. Then I realized it's bri'sh so I guess that's why.


I feel for Justin when he says he's shaking and stuff. He knows, from past experience, what he's facing in prison and the fact (FACT!) these cops are going to do everything they can to put him back in there. He loses two years to this false accusation. Candy is a real pos.<br> The difference in response from Michael is he doesn't know, doesn't really know, what he's facing from jail and from the police.

@Zenna mok I know you didn't see any substance in my words your ignorance won't let you, but you go on and continue to live in bliss, ok😘

@MultiSweetheart6 you're just saying hallow words.

Nothing you said had any substance to it.

@MultiSweetheart6 when people start to take real problems and real solutions and designate it as "expected of you." Really shows a lot about you.

It shows that you don't really care about fixing issues, you don't really care about the people dying or being caught up in this fabricated race war.

The fact that you take someones opinion as "expected of you"... Is a disgusting mindset.

@Zenna mok I mean, I could bring up cases where police brutality was said and done, but you could google or watch the news for that. Regardless, those cases you bring up, it doesn't change the fact that police brutality is a thing and is a problem, especially for black people.

And because I don't want to make other replies to address your other comments, I'll do it here. Now, I know you didn't just call somebody unsmart and say in your next comment that "more white people be falsely convicted", ooh baby, the education system has failed you. That's why you don't insult people when you don't know any better, or you'll come out looking like a straight fool.

Now that I got that off my chest, the bottom line is Racism is a problem in America, and you sugar-coating it as "community problems" is expected of you. What I find hard to figure out is why do some white people want to be victims so bad. Like, I'm sure there are black people who want to trade being shot up by police unjustly with white privilege, but whatever.

@Joe E... JUSTIN literally said that Candy's boyfriend has been convicted of domestic violence previously and he knows that it's been that the boyfriend attacked Candy and they're shifting the blame on him so that the boyfriend could walk free. JUSTIN said that IN THE INTERROGATION....... Oh my god you people 🤦♂

@Marco Polo yea I mean wth is this argument, it's crazy

@Lilith Jesus what are you talking about, "a beautiful black American male"? I really think he is a nice guy, but they way you put is being white means being a racist. That's super dumb. The officer was an ashole and got his penalty for it. We don't know if it was racist motivated or not. Now keep in mind it's not about skin colour for me it's about behaving and Michael seems to be pretty nice. He could be green or pink coloured. So stop putting people in categories

@Zee King that’s exactly what I was thinking, he grasps the situation and obviously is slightly shaken up but he knows the truth will come to light which thankfully it did

@MultiSweetheart6 I mean. People use the term police brutality for anything.

Dude stabbed a kid and tried to shoot a cop... And get got shot in the exchange? Was he black? Police brutality. The cops are racist

(Literally happened) girl was actively trying to stab another girl with a knife and got shot by an officer who just arrived?

They BOTH were black? Police brutality. Cop was too violent and should of tried to de-escalate the situation. (When she literally was in swing of stabbing someone, like come on!)

Nah. What we got are community problems in America, we got people who can't think for themselves in America. But a racist problem? Sure there are racist people... But as whole? No.

@81986978 more white people be falsely convicted

@Lilith Jesus what. The black dude was in Canada. He's Canadian... Df you coming in here acting all... Unsmart...for

@Civil Villain DANGGG one you a real G. And two... DANGGGG

@YourFavSaber No, I think they hit the nail on the head.

@Lilith Jesus Justin is a beautiful White male.

@Joe E Motive. It's a very important piece of evidence.

@FissionPhoenix  I'd be a fucking wreck
i have the absolute worst affliction of anxiety when interacting with those who have authority over me because of a teacher in 4th grade
so that, combined with my ASD, leads me to shut down completely (sometimes even in tears) in these situations because in my head, i fucking know, anything i say is going to make the situation worse
oh and if they yell at me? good luck ever getting a peep from me that isn't uncontrollable sobbing and incoherent begging to see my mother, my fiance, and to just go home, likely in that order, all the while curling into a ball as much as i can in my chair

@Zee King yeah, it’s too bad innocent till proven guilty isn’t the golden standard anymore.

@Bra d .... Yes, Michael was in jail for over 3 days (3 days!!!) before a real cop reviewed his case details. Michael was awarded $46k for this deliberate fiasco, and the loser cops were merely demoted. They should have been subjected to jail time and something on their records, like attempted murder.

I'd be on the floor having a heart attack if some random woman falsley accused me of breaking in her home and assaulting her.  Especially if her name was Candy.

@81986978 You don’t truly understand incarceration until you experience it. OP’s comment is 100% spot on

He probably does know what he's facing. He's black. Black people know they're going to be falsely accused an rarely believed. Glad it worked out for him this time. But it has to be traumatizing.

@Lilith Jesus Sure police brutality, note the sarcasm. That white guy was put in jail for 2 years even tho he was innocent, Michael was there for 3 days so yes its all about racism.

Edit: Michaels also Canadian.

I think the difference also is that Michael being a beautiful black American male, knows about police brutality and can't afford to even vehemently protest his innocence like Justin, a white American. he has probably lost friends /family to police brutality & racism.

Even after seeing this I feel like I'd be more like Michael in such a situation. I'm also pretty introverted. I might curse a bit and get angry, but it would be more of exasperation than defensive. Like when he got to that point of "yeah so the speed at which this is moving is concerning to me," I'd be like "holy fuck I barely remember what I have for breakfast on a given day, now I have to rely on other people paying any attention to me whatsoever?"

Did Justin get money for punitive damages? And Candy send her azz to prison

@Trash King the Mighty Ruler of Garbage Town what do you know about Candy's motives? What do you know about her relationship beyond what Justin said? Why would you invent a story in your mind to defend her? The cop said she accused him and she got shredded in court over her lies. Then you imagine it's all her boyfriend's fault. For all we know, her abuse accusations against her boyfriend may be lies, too.

@Trash King the Mighty Ruler of Garbage Town what you are saying is they both should be put to jail?

Remember that she was abused by her boyfriend who if I understood correctly knew Justin on some level, I'm pretty sure it was his idea to shift the blame... 😬 Candy wouldn't have any motive to lie about it really, so it makes sense that the guy told her to do it

Edit: made a new comment but because people are just stupid, here's my explanation for "making up" a story to "defend" Candy as someone said... JUSTIN said Candy's boyfriend had been convicted of domestic violence previously and JUSTIN said he knew that the boyfriend was the one who attacked Candy and they're shifting the blame on him so that the boyfriend wouldn't get caught for it. This was all said in the interrogation by Justin so if people just actually listened... 🤦♂ You're the perfect examples of how innocent people get convicted like this, you hear 1 sentence and then you ignore everything else just like the cops took "Justin attacked me" and then ignored everything else she said which could have contradicted her story.

She should have to do double the amount of time he lost to her false accusations

I  agree. Micheal has no idea what is in store if he ends up in jail


That’s good because that they were suspended without pay because it’s terrible to be accused of a crime that you didn’t commit.


2:56 AM??? I'd be shaking at this hour if I wasn't in bed...


13:27 "ive got nothing to gain from that" suuure


It’s almost like pigs aren’t intelligent or good at their job... 🤔


I was fuming watching Michael Dixon's interrogation. Imagine being tackled off a bus at midnight and then at 3 am some smug detective pulls you in and tells you youre guilty of something you have no involvement with, and furthermore that you have no chance to convince him of your innocence. I would be screaming at that guy. Luckily there was a very happy ending in this case, but I'm sure that there are thousands of cases where the innocent party sees no justice at all.

@anna agreed.  US citizens are literally fighting the establishment of an authoritarian militarized police state.  It's abhorrent.

@Thyme Warp true, the cops still got off light all things considered

He should have gotten way more, and it should have come from the cops' pensions

@anddudewaslike i definitely think if this happened in the us no justice would've been served

@anddudewaslike well that's bkoz it was in Canada. NOT the USA where cops have zero accountability but things are soon changing and the police will be the ones afraid of citizens. You will see.

that's like the most introvert thing to do. I mean, I'm an introvert, I was in a simmilar (yet not so grave in consequences) situation, and I was not only calm, but cheerful, joking and super polite. The thing about extroverts is that they tend to mirror their surroundings - amount of stimuli that they absorb are similar to that they give back (sometimes they give back a bit more ;) ), so when accused, they fight back or try to be louder than their accuser, while introverts go with learned or patterned behaviors - they take in, save for later to process, they give out something different, based on their experience (like - be polite when talking to police, avoid agression) or give back nothing at all and shut in.

  I can totally feel this guy, but that said - it takes A LOT of trust to be that cheerful.  That guy must be lucky to never have been abused by the system or endangered by procedures.

@Marylyn Wagner word lmao, he was like great thats actually relieving to me

Poor guy doesn't have an extravert personality. But his confidence was enough for me. I have to admit I loved when he said good, great you have video footage. I hate jagoff cops!

Imagine being innocent and told "we're not going to talk about guilt or innocence..." smh. You what?

@anddudewaslike Wouldn't say he was properly disciplined should have been FIRED.

In the US he probably would have sat in county quite a bit longer than 3 days and the investigators would not have got demoted and suspended without pay

Very satisfying ending.  Rare that you see cops properly disciplined for deliberately terrible behavior.


There’s only three videos left in the channel…bummer


I am Justin and Justin is me 😂😂😂 I really need to change


Why are the Police allowed to lie.  If they want the truth they should be truthful themselves.  I feel a real sadness for those who end up in prison for something they didn't do.


I use these techniques I learn to interrogate my gf on why she got regular Cheetos as apposed to flaming hot Cheetos


Dispatch:  "We're looking for a short white guy" <br>Police who arrest tall black guy "The evidence i have is frankly conclusive and overwhelming, so i'm not even gonna ask you if you did it"

Dispatch:  "We're looking for a short white guy"
Police who arrest tall black guy "The evidence i have is frankly conclusive and overwhelming, so i'm not even gonna ask you if you did it"

They just followed the script. The detective was likely not even among those who made the arrest. At this point in time maybe didn't even know what the dispatch said. And their script is to always tell the suspect they know everything, in the hopes that the suspect will then start talking. They do this to absolutely everyone they arrest. It's standard procedure.

@Trent Hastings <br>“Racism is all bias and projection.” You’re free to tell me what that means then

“Racism is all bias and projection.” You’re free to tell me what that means then

Racism is all bias and projection at this point.

This comment made me laugh. Sounds like a south park sketch than real life!

@anddudewaslike  100% agree with you there.  Disgraceful.

Now take in the fact that this has happened and happens countless times across America.  And not every wrongfully accused person is savvy enough to thwart shady law enforcement practice.  They don’t care about getting the truth; they care about getting a conviction.

at what point as a society do we start to publicly execute people that fuck up in life as badly as the investigator?

And then the officer later asks if he did it. 🤣

"all demoted and suspended without pay"<br>Good. This kind of consequence seems to be somewhat lacking for incompetent and reckless policing. The detective in this video deserved worse for locking up an innocent person for 3+ days.

"all demoted and suspended without pay"

What a satisfying ending aaaaahhhhh <br>The best

What a satisfying ending aaaaahhhhh
The best


That's why you should never talk to police regardless of the circumstances. It can never go good for you only bad. And they don't play fair, they lie.

*never talk to detectives in interrogation rooms


Friendly reminder: Don't talk to cops. There is NOTHING to be gained. Especially if you are innocent. Everything you say can and will potentially be used AGAINST you. Even if you are absolutely sure, one wrong chosen word can be your downfall. Just don't do it. Please.

@frossbog I wouldnt even say the first part. Just say " I'm not speaking to you, I want my lawyer." Otherwise literally don't say anything else. Not a single word other than that phrase. Also, this is paramount to remember, is that the police will lie to you, try to provoke you, and try to be nice to you to build a rapport. Realize that everything, everything they say to you is calculated to manipulate you into breaking down and talking to them. Stay strong. They'll likely try to mess with you by cranking the AC or tightening your cuffs or cuff you to the wall in a stress position. Remember all of that is better than talking to them.

THIS video is the perfect example of what goes wrong with the Justice system. For anyone who says "If you did nothing wrong and have nothing to hide, then there is nothing to worry about when the police interrogate you." Or people who say "If you've got nothing to hide, then you won't mind the government watching you, reading your emails, getting you on camera, searching your car, searching your home, etc."

The justice system is first and foremost to protect the INNOCENT, and only then is it supposed to prosecute the GUILTY.

@MildlyIntoxicated_ you do realize that section is user specific and catered towards you?

Funny you say that, right in the side bar in the recommended section there's the video "Don't Talk to the Police" by the Regent University School of Law. Great watch and I recommend everyone give it a watch too

yea case 2 wouldnt of had that happend when he simply said i want a laywer and i refuse to talk about things that dont include me.

So greatful I’m in Scotland n my request for a lawyer would be met within a few hours at most.

My buddy is a defense attorney graduated from Duke Law, and he said he can't possibly imagine a scenario where it's a good thing that his client talked to the police.

never talk to a cop without a lawyer. if you are not involved, just walk away.

Lawyer up first chance you can and say zip

@James Henry there’s a big difference between Michael and Casey Anthony, two really

The police will never EVER use a suspects words to defend him in court, they will only and always use anything the defendant says against him in court. if a crime is serious enough to go to court, let the judge, jury and lawyers sort it out. The police will never be on your side.

@stellar really? if you search a little you will find plenty of cases reminiscient of CA's, both men and women. Difference being, men can get away if they got the power and influence, women just by "virtue" of having a set of internal sex organs.

Lesson of all these vids indeed.<br>Not. One. Word.

Lesson of all these vids indeed.
Not. One. Word.

Simply say, "I am invoking my 5th and 6th Amendment rights (in the USA).  I have nothing to say to you and I want an attorney immediately."  Then kick back and take a little nap until the lawyer arrives.  They'll probably keep jawing at you for a few minutes but just ignore anything they say.

THIS. All you say is your name and your place of residence. THAT'S IT. The answer to any other question will be "I want my Lawyer." A Lawyer has the tools and know-how to force an examination of security footage, for instance - something which would have seen the first man freed immediately.

This is how they do it, and they don't care if you're actually guilty or not - most of the time, a conviction is a bonus on their paycheck or reputation, and they will do anything to try and get you to confess, falsely or not, and if that doesn't work they will take apart your statements and twist them until they resemble an admission of guilt. You could be explaining how something isn't possible using a hypothetical, and they will use that hypothetical as evidence. YOU CANNOT WIN.

@lubdub lubdub I know a police officer who's parents were married when he was born, so perhaps not ALL cops

@Bowie E Agreed. ACAB, y'know?

Always
Chilling
At the
Berries.

Yuuup. Don’t talk to them. Nothing can be gained.

@James Henry most of us can’t afford attorneys like Baez though, or wouldn’t be lucky enough for them to want to represent us pro-bono (probably pro-boner in CA’s case)

Some people wonder why bystanders of the crime doesn't call the police immediately.

Because shit like this could happen.

@James Henry You can’t compare the Casey Anthony case with any other case in existence because there’s no case that’s like hers.

@SubjectivelyStan They didn't with Casie Anthony. She lied nonstop for days.

Or if they find any discrepancies in what you tell them, they will just say you lied to investigators and either add that as a charge or use it to argue your guilt if they can’t prove anything else. Judges and juries fall for that all the time.


Good lord some investigators are fucking incompetent.


Lmao the funny part is that all these comments are talking about innocent until proven guilty but I guarantee less than 5% of you are consistent with that.


now i know why this channel is shut down. it took me three viewings of this video. but now i know


she probably picked him cuz he was her ex boyfriends friend


Almost everyone is talking about Michael (who to be fair was extremely intelligent and interesting to watch) but hardly anyone is talking about Justin. He was innocent, however he had to spend two years for a crime he didn’t commit. People who aren’t as patient and intelligent as Michael would fall right into the trap, like poor Justin. Hope he got justice in the end…

@T no worries, I understood what your point was, that his comment was no longer there, I was just letting you know there are more seasons then "he deleted it" for why it's no longer there. As far as what his comment was, looking at the replys, I'm gonna assume he said something about the US system being unfair to Michael, most likely even racist and then everyone replied "Canada not the US", since Michael's case took place in Canada.

RIGHT LIKE WTF PEOPLE. Did he even get compensation and did that b candy go to jail for the false accusation. She should be +++++ jail time

@Misguided Angel The point was that his comment wasn’t there and I was curious as to what it was. Although some of that information you gave me were things I didn’t know, so I appreciate it.

@T just because his comment isn't showing doesn't mean Kassian deleted it,  if the comment was reported too many times it just automatically gets deleted by YouTube servers or even the video uploader could have deleted it for whatever reason he wants

The world in general is a fucked up place. Period.

@Sebastian Hansen not even close.  It may be corrupt, but it's no where near the worst.  Most of the world is an extremely fucked up place.

@Lisa E USA specifically is one of the worst places to live on earth, when it comes to the justice system.

What did Kassassin Prawn say anyway? He deleted his comment, and I’m really curious now

I took note of this as well, I guess because Michael was so incredibly chill. Anyone who knowingly makes false allegations against someone should face prison time! We have an issue in America where you are no longer presumed innocent until guilty, you are guilty until proven innocent! This is a horrific stance..I’d rather a guilty man go free than an innocent man go to prison.

@Lisa E that may be true but our justice system is worse than Canada's

This shit happens way more than people realize

@Kassassin Prawn Michael is in Canada. -_-

@Kassassin Prawn are you sure my guy, the white dude had it worse, and he spoke out, the black dude got 46K for that interaction when the white dude got 2 years in jail, the black dude didnt speak out because the video literally said he was an introvert and turned down a promotion offer because he was scared of public speaking, the dude was obviously not a fan of talking to people as much as others, so why would he want to raise his voice, like come on dude, are you delusional or something?

Dude gets out of prison, sleeps at his mom's house, wakes up and is falsely thrown back in. Fuck the justice system.


Please re upload your videos, you are the original


This world is ripe to eat you whole.  It doesn't matter who you are if you're accused you better damn well believe they're going to try and lock you up.  Eff the system!


46000 gladly would take the 3 days off work to have pigs pay me


That cop that lies about video is the absolute worst. He doesn't even entertain the fact that the suspect could be innocent. He didn't even listen to the description of the criminal from the 911 call.

Complete ineptitude and wilful ignorance are two of my biggest pet peeves.

Exactly. He did not want to find out if the suspect was guilty, he wanted to get a confession whether he was guilty or innocent

Its a method they use, if ur guilty and they tell u theres a chance ur innocent, ur gonna fight waaay harder than if they say the for sure know its u. The truth game out and its also a method they use too see how the person whos getting accused reacts.

@Bri no but the fact that he was not only lied to by his interrogator but also did not fit the description do the better yet imprisoned could infer such. Then again we were not there when he was arrested so we would not know.

@Trashmammal False confession if the cop is lying

He totally missed the "Innocent until proven otherwise" 😭

And it took over 72 hours for a SEPARATE investigator to get him out. Clearly this investigator didn't do shit for 3 days while an innocent man was being more than mildly inconvenienced in a jail cell. But 46k for 3 days of my time is a deal I'd take any day! Haha

@Ashley Lake I was talking about the main subject, they guy with an orange beard, dummie. OHhHh no I got called racist by “Ashley” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Ashley Lake I’m deaf, dumb, and racist.<br>(You didn’t understand my comment did you)

@Ashley Lake I’m deaf, dumb, and racist.
(You didn’t understand my comment did you)

@Bri yep. My friend pointed out that I’m a Jew and I murdered him cause that’s racist

@Mike Yeah, everything is racist.  Everything.  You need help.

@LordKeiferton but… they were trying to find out if he was guilty in the part I explained. The rest of the parts I can understand where you’re coming from…

@Trashmammal Just to fill a quota? Why is there a freaking quota anyway? To let shit like this happen? Who cares if he's innocent, right? Gotta get my promotion. So let's lie and get him into jail, so I can buy a car.

I hate that guy. He is terrible at his job lol

@Trashmammal Also dispatch calls rarely get 100% of the info correct so officers need to find out on their own. For example, just watch any Cops/Live PD episode.

To be fair, saying that their<br>Is evidence may bring out a confession

Is evidence may bring out a confession

Also think about the time that was wasted on interrogating an innocent man that could have gone towards finding the real criminal!


Me, I'd have the biggest shit eating grin.  I'm about to get a shit ton of money from the state depending on if they realise they f-d up in time.  Damn, easy money especially if you do time.


in my apinyon false imprisonment / holding against will is equivalent to kidnapping and the cop responsible should be arested


I dont know if anyone has mentioned this yet but why is the person they use as an example the icon instead of the the person that is the subject of the story?


That cop interrogating that innocent black guy should have been fired for utter uncompetence.


Imagine all the people sitting in jail because they were pressured, not everyone will fight back

@Biden Trump They don't want to believe we live in a world where it could happen; it is overwhelming to know it, and they feel helpless to do anything so their defense mechanism kicks in: DENIAL Plus it is nebulous and not easy to prove.

Police work on numbers. They get more funding the more arrests make and convictions they get. Getting the right person isn't even their goal. It's just getting a person. Any person. Guilty or innocent, they don't care. As long as they hit their numbers, the captains get their bonuses, and the station gets it's funding - that's all that matters.

@NotitiaRecolligo yes. I didn't even think about the plea bargain nonsense; I do not think most of the prisons are full of innocent people but surely there are many. The guilty criminals will always lie and the innocent ones will tell the truth and say they didn't do it...so it is understandable hard to know for us who is telling the truth. There are too many gangs. They collaborate secretly. Masons, police officers, people who go to the same religious gatherings...not necessarily Christians. <br>Satanists, pagans, mormons stick together and stick their necks out for one another like that too.

@dtak It's about both. And how people respond when they feel defeated in an impossible situation, not everyone reacts the same.

That's why they love pushing plea bargains.  A person is essentially forced to play a game of Russian roulette, example; risk 15 years or more, or accept a plea and admit to guilt when innocent and do 3 years.  Prisons have loads of innocent people housed within them.  It's the crooks at the top of the power structure who most need to be there, but they (Sabbatean-Frankists) control the system via their masonic foot soldiers (cops, judges, prosecutors, AG's, etc.)

It's not about fighting back, its about exhibiting guilty vs innocent behaviour. Assuming no malpractice has occured during the interrogation, it is extremely unlikely for someone who is innocent to exhibit guilty behaviour.

@Waldo47 People who feel helpless and totally controlled might worry they could do worse things if they don't cooperate.

@P I Because if they can lie and keep you in jail seems they can do anything to you. if they are all powerful and you have none and they are not motivated by doing the right thing, they could hurt you worse. That is my logic anyway.

I cant understand why someone behaves that way while being unfairly accused or arrested.

I disagree. If i am accused and i have everything to lose, i would fight back with my life if needed.

@Michael Phillips Thats simply not true. Death penalty brings more risk to society than good.

@Michael Phillips Thats simply not true. Death penalty brings more risk to society than good.

@Picture me trollin So why doesn't it work the other way round? When they testify when they are not there, what can they say? There testimony is hearsay as well if they weren't eyewitnesses; they should only be able to report the facts they witnessed. Is that what you mean?

the American justice system does not care about facts or the truth. Their only concern is  what they can get 12 people to believe! And I can prove this! A police officer is only allowed to make statements in a court of law that pertain to your guilt. If, by some extremely strange and very  rare instance  that they have information that would, in any way,  shape or form, point to or even prove your innocents, it is considered to be "here say" and not allowed as testimony in a court of law! I mean they are absolutely forbidden to speak to your innocents unless the officer was an eye witness, and let's face it, if that be the case,   you're either not charged or they're lying and you're going to prison plain and simple

@Bigwinboard You figure if they can lie and keep you in custody you have no power if you can't afford a lawyer, so you don't want to make it worse by fighting so you just give in.. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I was thinking the same thing! It's extremely frightening to imagine :,(

@John Be Bad The government does not run the prisons they have outsourced them to for-profit business. Our government hires them based on a contract. If they stay full the for profit enterprise makes the most money.

@Mohanad Bakain I'm not American either. But, the US prison system is owned and operated by private contractors (i.e. they make profit based on the number of people incarcerated). Since the shift from government operated prisons to private/for-profit, the US has seen the number of convicted criminals rise. Evidence points to prison companies lobbying congress etc. Police also gain promotions based on successful convictions. Also, in the US, prisoners have to buy things from the commissary from their own money - even basic items but at inflated prices. Profit is made on this too. In the USA, more prisoners = more money.

@HisWordisLife How are jails being full profitable?

@HisWordisLife How are jails being full profitable?

Yeah. the guilty ones fight back less than the innocent ones.

Yeah. the guilty ones fight back less than the innocent ones.

@Mohanad Bakain More people in jail the bigger the jail. Bigger the jail bigger amounts of tax dollars and other revenue going to it. More money in the system means more people want to keep it up and running (more convicts=more money). Those in charge want more convicts regardless of whether or not they did something wrong or right, they want bodies. That's why court rooms disgust me is because my word doesn't mean shit to them. If they want me or someone else to go to court, we'll be in Court. And unless I actually did commit it you'd better bet I'm going to fight for my freedom because I and hopefully anyone innocent watching this aren't going to accept a crime we didn't commit. But if you charge me for stealing soda in a water bottle I'm going away for a long time.

@aartadventure can you explain what the for-profit legal system is? How it works?

I'm not an American

@p. f. They should have to work and pay the victims and/or their families back that they hurt. Reparations. For a higher debt worse labor. Proportionately. I had cars and equipment and tools stolen out of our cars and we just had to eat it.  kid stole my VW Bug right after I had a new engine installed in it and he played demolition derby  with it and three other teens -- he totaled my car and bc it was so old I only had minimal insurance that did not include theft. I had one payment left to pay on it too. He went to jail, but I didn't get any money.

@p. f. I agree remember the Arizona State Prison system? Where they did hard time without cable TV or gym memberships, etc. He had them working outside all day, and living in tents. Guess what happened to the crime rate in AZ? That's right...nearly zippo. In the olden days they used to make prisoners break rock used for public roads. Now the government has found a way to make money off that industry too. I don't think they should let serial pedos out ever. To me they are worse than serial killers and their sentences are so ridiculously lenient. Their sentences used to be the Dad's of the kids or the grandpas or uncles would take them out in the woods and beat them to death. They would never find them and no one ever said anything---they just disappeared.

@HisWordisLife something like <b>"you killed a man. It was a mistake, but if you feel remorse and want a way to repair the damage, you can choose to work for charity. So instead of hurting people, you'll get an opportunity to help people."</b> While this of course won't mean that they will be free men.

@HisWordisLife well. they of course cannot be readmitted into society, or else they will hurt other people and themselves.
Perhaps, they could, to atleast redeem themselves and show remorse for what they did, work for free, as charity. Perhaps by a non-profit organisation that cooperates with the government and such, like distributing food to homeless and such.
Or, they could work for public benefit, like picking up trash on the streets, or even work as manpower for building streets and such. Of course, always under surveillance of guards.
After all, it's not forced labor if it is only for volunteer prisoners ;)
Prisoners get their food and stay payed by tax-payers, so it could also be a way to better invest money paid by the people via taxes.

@p. f. I agree but some people are unable to be rehabilitated. There is a very high likelihood they will reoffend and really hurt or kill others. What can we do about that? Like pedos and serial killers...

@HisWordisLife exactly. Everyone, at some point in their lives, makes mistakes. Everyone, nobody excluded. It's just part of being humans.
Why then should we not give a second chance to those who make a mistake? We are humans, born to make mistakes.
Criminals need to be given the chance to redeem themselves, to pay for their mistakes and show that they learnt. And especially, show that they know how to avoid repeating the same mistake.
After all, Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum. Making mistakes is human, repeating the same mistakes is evil.

@p. f. Investing them and giving them a choice. Seems criminals in our society don't really have a choice after they have a record. I don't think pedos should be let out again' I have a hard time with that one and serial killers.

@HisWordisLife exactly. Prevention is better than the cure. Especially, preventing ex-criminals from commiting other crimes is better than re-jailing them after they did so.
That's why in many European prisons, prisoners get an education and learn professions, so that once they leave the prison, they can easily find job as a plumber, electricist, painter or any other work.
Most crimes occur because of the criminal being poor and uneducated, most of the times unemployed. Therefore, granting better possibilities to an ex-criminal to find a job, will drastically lower the crime rates in the country. That's why re-educating criminals is better than just punishing them.

@Michael Phillips well, European justice system works much better and protects the rights of the citizens much better. Northern European countries are infact ranked as the safest countries on Earth, compared to the high crime rates in the USA, which are the highest in the western world.

@aartadventure the US has a class problem disguised as a race problem. The US is by far one of the least racist countries on earth.

I pray my ex dont get killed cause I know I'd probably go to jail for it cause I'd be so non-chalant and show no emotion.

@Michael Phillips If the video examples shown (along with many other false US convictions, and the recent BLM movement issues) don't persuade you to think something is wrong, then I certainly won't.

But if you are curious, I'd rather face the police and legal systems in most European countries, Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc, before the US system.

@aartadventure ''Especially good'' compared to who?   The American system follows english common law. On top of that there's massive constitutional protections. The average citizen has more 'rights' and legal protections then most of  modern world, if you were sit down and go through the protections you'd be blown away.. The 5th amendment was created for exactly this reason (you convicting yourself) and as soon as your arrested you start being informed of that important right.  Through rights He was innocent in law's eyes and that cop needs him to admit this,, People are just ignorant to fact how important that right is. Nothing can be gained by talking to police in a suspect aspect - if your lawyer attempts to cite the interview its ''hearsay'' it literally only can be used against you...... Don't get me wrong the american is miles from perfect but compared to much of the world its extremely good

@aartadventure The ebb and flow of who gets arrested seems at least in part to do with keeping the jails full and profitable. And when they are full, they let the criminals go. Little to do with justice, and people who can't afford a lawyer get easily sucked into the matrix. Then they cant get jobs and reoffend.

Even worse are those who were sentence to DEATH and were later proved innocent....The USA for-profit system is especially good at locking up innocents.


Why your reply should never be more than one word, Lawyer Lawyer Lawyer Lawyer. Never ever interact with these people who are legally allowed to lie during & throughout interview. There only interest is making a case that can convict, your innocence or guilt has nothing to do with it. Lawyer Lawyer Lawyer


The case with the bald dude, if they are in Canada why do they have a mild British accent?


I've been in Michael's shoes, its bullshit


"cops running after a white man then ending up arresting black man" hats off to them for not seeing race


Michael is such a polite, patient man, and my heart cried for him but even more for the 2nd man, that he spent over 2 years in jail because I could feel his emotions when he is proclaiming his innocence. It’s just so wrong, the desperation he felt came through in his voice and behavior. Just heartbreaking.

I felt really really sorry for both of them. The second guy sounded so upset, as well he should have been. I really hope he got paid compensation too. :(


Police officers like this should not just be demoted they should be fired immediately. The could have destroyed a man's life and refused to look into his alibi. If I were to do far less than this at my job I would be let go immediately. The issue with government employees is they are normally given a great deal of power but receive no real consequence when they abuse that power. A demotion for wrongfully imprisoning a man? They probably didn't even receive a decrease in their pay or if there was one it probably took them from $80,000 a year to $75,000.


Anyone know is the officer was British or just have a speech impediment?


that canadian detective was incredibly irritating to listen to
