My heart breaks watching the ginger bearded guy's interrogation, I can feel the anger of being powerless to prove your own innocence. What he said about doing his best to get his life back on the right track really hurt knowing that he'd waste another 2 years to a false allegation.

yeah, I'm pretty sure I would have acted similarly too

The cops.are probably colorblind. This is usually reserved for blacks.

@Tropin it’s important to make a clear statement that you choose to exercise your right to remain silent before remaining silent

@TheJustinShowAndCo Actually the rule is don't say a word to cops.  Lawyer up immediately. Anything you say can only be used against you.  it is a rigged adversarial system.  The police are not on your side, and they are not your friends.  They are power mongers and usually incompetent.  Why the fuck we give them so much power in our society is beyond me.

@Nathan H ditto on the calm. Terrible short term memory. Liable to misremember things because the brain works overtime to put together the pieces.

I wish they gave his last name so I could look him up.

I wish they gave his last name so I could look him up.

Sickening how some people just look to keep others down. Its is one thing if you can prove they did it and if they are the kind of person who repeatedly offends and don’t actually care about trying to mend their ways but to go after people who try to get it right after their first screw up... those kind of people sicken me. Just make something up and blame the guy who already has a bad rap... that probably happens more often than we know and it’s wrong.

@TheJustinShowAndCo Damn, this clicks for me. Looking back from experience, the real liars would get angry at the person making the accusations rather than the accusations itself. I will keep this in mind moving forward.

That's American business system right there. Private companies have made billions from enslavement through our prison system I'm guessing the war on drugs has made easier it for these companies to control our lives.

That is why you never talk to the police guilty or innocent. Invoking your right to legal council shouldn’t be incriminating, but it is seen as such by detectives. Nothing you say to the cops to help your case wether you are guilty or innocent will be used to help you because it is considered hearsay. On the flip side anything incriminating you say wether unintentional or not will be used to hang you. It’s that simple never talk to the police without a lawyer present.

im literally crying everytime i see it. i was in a similar scenario and i was heart

Thats why you never say anything without a lawyer. First mistake is thinking you can talk your way out of it.

@TheJustinShowAndCo Very good point! It's a subtle but nevertheless noticeable difference. If an experience detective couldn't pick that out even though you (I assume a non-detective) did, speaks volumes about how inept or biased  these detectives are.

@Purplefood the other dude spent two years in jail earlier in his life for an event he was guilty off.

@Indigenous Unite Perhaps it has something to do with the fact one dude spent 3 days behind bars while the other spent 2 years in jail. I dunno maybe the severity matters to some people.

@Purplefood nope I've never said that what happened to the ginger bearded isn't bad. All I said that it's telling that someone comments feeling bad for the white guy without mentioning the black guy at all. Both are cases of injustice but I find it telling that someone just feels bad for the white guy without even mentioning or acknowledging the immense injustice that's done to the black guy as well.

@Indigenous Unite Ah in that case for persepctive; much worse has been done to much less deserving people so really none of this is that bad at all. That kind of perspective?

Thank everybody for the kind answers, I think @Kylie Irvine gave me the best one.
What upsets me the most is that at 13:30 you can see that the interrogator poses a trick question about "Candy", despite the bearded guy said something completely different. They were trying to break an innocent guy. And trust me: that treatment makes you feel like you were raped.
Happened to me once: I never was in trouble with the law, one evening I went buying cigarettes, and in a hurry I parked my car badly, but not THAT badly. Some cops checked my documents and I thought "Ok, that's a warning, next time I'll be fined, I understand", except they asked absolutely every paperwork to find issues (they didn't find any), and meanwhile they were repeatedly asking contradictory questions, trying to confuse me like I was high or drunk.
I later understood that those cops were new in town and came from a city with some drugs problems (we didn't have them in my town). I felt like I was pissed on for days.

@Snarl616 He spent 2 years in prison in his early twenties. That must have been before. He said he used to be a piece of shit but he is changed now and stays out of trouble.

@Snarl616 it probably took 2 years for the witness to be declared untrustworthy. it definitely would not have happened right away. there would have been an appeal process and a whole bureacracy, that is severely backlogged with pending cases of more violent crimes, and have no obligation to rush an appeal through the system. 2 years sounds about right. its fucked up.

@Indigenous Unite And starting a fire my brother.

@Indigenous Unite And starting a fire my brother.

@Bradley welch yup, that's exactly what I'm doing. Some people call that.addimg perspective.

@Indigenous Unite Are you trying to guilt trip someone that expressed how they felt in a non-toxic way on line? What if he felt just as bad about the other guy and just felt like only sharing about the ginger? I personally think comments like yours are so irrelevant and invite uneccessary negativity to digital platforms.

What confuses me is that, the ginger bearded guy breaks your heart because the police actually had several elements to see him as a suspect such as a complaint from two people describing and naming him and previous convictions while the first guy didn't even fit the description in the slightest and he should have been let free on the spot after asking the busdriver where he got on the bus.

@pupeluv No. He did not server 2 years. The person @Snarl616 was responding to is pointing out something the ginger guy said which was that he spent 2 years (I presume the commenter heard in the video), trying to clean his life up to be threatened of being jailed for something he didn't do.

@Snarl616

I assume it took that long to go to trial. He must have been denied bail.

@Snarl616

I assume it took that long to go to trial. He must have been denied bail.

Hope he got at least $1,000,000 in settlement and those "detectives" had their asses nailed to the wall. The $1,000,000 won't bring back those 2 years lost but he definitely needs some sort of significant compensation for what he went through.

He spent 2 years in jail for a previous conviction not this one if you listen closely. The narrator says 3 Years in prison but corrects himself with text. I could be wrong though.

@Nathan H the only solution whether guilty or not guilty is to not talk and get a lawyer. The only thing I would ever do in a situation like this is claim my innocence, request my lawyer, and make it clear (only once) that I am exercising my right to remain silent. I would not crack under pressure to speak. I would not respond to any requests, questions, intimidations etc.

@TheJustinShowAndCo My problem is I am calm under most circumstances. I would be suspicious to most detectives since I have a hard time responding like a "normal" person. I have experienced much in my life and that gives me an uneasy calm. Plus not to mention my memory under pressure sucks due to a past concussion. Hopefully it never happens to me.

@Snarl616 He was afraid of going to jail for 2 years in that moment knowing fully that he was innocent yet had no way other than what he had said to prove it. He should have sued them.

@Christopher Guy And he probably won't get a penny only because he was incarcerated before. This is crazy.

@Snarl616 that is exactly right. My guess is that they overlooked in to hurry the trial, or decided it was untrustworthy afterwards.

the subtlety is that he's not angry, he's wildly upset. an honest person accused of lying becomes upset with accusations; a dishonest sociopath becomes angry with the person doing the accusations. the dishonest sociopath believes the display of anger is comparable to being perturbed. its a subtlety i learned handling more than a few compulsive liars in my personal life

Didn't they say that during the process the witness was questioned and declared untrustworthy? If so, how was he in jail for 2 years if the process was in progress? I apologize If I misunderstood, english is not my first language.

not to mention the interrogators take nothing of what he says into account and proceeds to outright declare he was the guilty party.


According to victims.Ca.gov “In 2000, the law was amended to allow compensation of $100 for each day served in prison after the conviction with no maximum amount. In 2016, the law was again amended to change the compensation rate to $140 per day for each day of incarceration served, including pre-conviction time spent in custody.”


I was about to lose my faith in Canada but the end was satisfying

As for the other guy the viking bearded one , just wow may God help him


I’ve heard these interrogators use the “it’s not a question of wether u did it, I’m trying to find out if ur a cold blooded serial killer or if your remorseful” but changed the words around and he almost said serial killer


11:20 well said, but as my grand father says "kill them with kindness"


“I understand the process but I’m not satisfied with it” is so polite I’m dying

The most polite way of saying “this is complete bullshit”

omg do you want me to call an ambulance for you?!

omg do you want me to call an ambulance for you?!

you dont understand, if you break the will destroy you

you dont understand, if you break the will destroy you

I don't know how he remained so calm! I would have been all fired up and yelling! lol

@ Vanilla Annihilation

This wasn’t the case but it could have been possible that the real suspect was someone who liked similar, expecially in a camera. So I would be nervous for that reason and not laughing. For us since we know it’s absurd what the police did.

He even says thank you after the pig told him he’s being booked im jail

Bruh I scrolled down to this and as I started reading this he said it 🤯

he souds like hes displeased that the ice cream machine isn't working

@feelthejoy he could be your brother Steve 👽 I had a feeling it was XFM videos. Nice to see you out in the wild here 🤠

Right? He is one of the most polite and calm person I've ever seen. I would have reacted wayyy differently.

I recognise your name and photo from somewhere. I'm thinking.... Does the phrase "ooooooOoOoOh chimpanzee that?!" mean anything to you?

@Theta Memes & Tips it's more of a class issue. A wealthy person of any race would get off

@Theta Memes & Tips no but Commies want you to think that

@Ruby Rose thats abusive and not polite so they're rude

@Theta Memes & Tips That’s a slap on the wrist. They should be in jail.

@Beowulf Not really, I know so many rude fellow Canadians

I’m Canadian and for the most part people here are polite but become passive aggressive if offended 😆 the “no disrespect to you” just resonated with me.

It's also stupid, understand literally means to be satisfied with and in agreement with. It doesn't mean comprehend.

@Jimmy Zhao You might be wrong, though. I havent heard any "sorry' or apologies first haha

@Jimmy Zhao I see it as more 'a rational, analytical person' - not 'a Canadian'. Note - I'm not Canadian, but I'd respond in much the same way

@Hashiriya*Style I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I smile like that too when in situations I think are absurd. Like if someone is blowing up at me, or if I can see they're being unreasonable, or if it feels like I'm in some sort of scripted movie, that's when the smiles start. I totally get you. Glad nothing happened from that mugging situation. I hope you stay as safe as possible in the meantime!

@Kurly Kayla I get a very similar thing when im put in situations that make me nervous, i kind of smirk or giggle because in my mind im in disbelief and going "is this shit really happening to me?". I got held up at knife point at a trainstation a few years ago and my instant response was to smirk and briefly giggled at the guy, i had no control over the response, thankfully the would-be mugger just walked away, im guessing he figured i was too much effort because i didn't appear scared or startled.(Which wasn't true at all, i was terrified i was about to get stabbed) Thankfully that time it went in my favour.... but i do worry that it might accidently get me in more trouble one day.

@Nick Tapalan look up Daniel Shaver.
a cop shot him with an automatic weapon at close range while daniel was crawling towards him, it was a pure execution.
long story short, the judge said the cop was innocent and awarded him a 30.000$ lifetime pension (the cop was 28 at the time). ridiculous

@Kurly Kayla Depends a lot of the persona you try to pull off, im very afraid of being perceived as mentally weak so when I can't rationalize with someone I'm talking to because they project superiority i project annoyance, lack of reaction or laugh at them; this is pretty masculine and sometimes threatening if you pull it off, you're antagonizing the cop and while this behavior is common among male friends being confronted this way by a stranger with whom you've never interacted before might make the suspect seem unstable.

@Vanilla Annihilation I have this weird thing when people expect certain reactions from me that I myself am not aligned with...I start to crack a smile, or even laugh. Like, if people want me to take them seriously, or if I'm expected to respond in a serious way, I often smile because some part of me doesn't want to follow what's being asked. And if I KNOW the person is bullshitting, that's even worse. Not trying to sound edgy, I acknowledge it's odd. The point is, I'd probably be a smiley mess if I were in this situation, and idk if that would make me more or less suspicious.

@Cokeforsale The term "Stranger than fiction" was one of those genius phrases that applies perfectly to cases such as that. Most people don't get upset because the brain just don't register that level of strangeness; often resulting in people going "No way!" and after a considerable pause they add "You're full of shit!" as well.

Nick Tapalan also there’s one that happened a few years ago black man was protecting a white mentality challenged kid someone called the police on them police showed up guns draw on the kid the black was telling the cops he had a learning disability and to not shoot black dude was laying on the ground with his hands up and the cops shot him while he was on the ground trial just ended and the cops got off claiming self defense or some bs there is video of it too

Nick Tapalan plenty of times I forget his name but there was 1 kid that was walking on the street cops was chasing another guy lost him they ran into the innocent kid and shot him in the back of the head killing him and none of the cops got charged

@ᛏᚤᚱᚠᛁᚾᚷᚱ I used to be like the guy in the video, trying to help the cop in the investigation and everything, but seeing they are out to get you is so annoying it becomes funny.

@Vanilla Annihilation I liked how he started with "The evidence i have is frankly conclusive and overwhelming"

Well hell, what are we sitting in here for then !? you just wrapped it up in 3 seconds.

That guy didn't need suspension/demotion. He needed to be fired, and never be considered for any kind of place in law or justice ever again.

@Daynja1 lmao that was the best "thanks... I guess?" which to me just screams confidence in innocence.

@Jimmy Zhao and the fact that all detectives involved got demoted and suspended without pay... that sounds like  fucking dreamland... <br>In the US they would've killed that poor man based on skin pigmentation and then awarded a 3 month paid vacation for the act

I would probably insult the investigator passively if they started lying like he did here, well actually when he said "we have you on camera" i would start laughing


I went to prison for 2-years for being in a swimming pool with my dog, drunk, after hours. Burglary With Intent To Steal Pool Water. They had my swimming shorts as evidence. When they brought me to court on the elevator, the officer stepped out first, turned and said "OK everyone out of the pool", unfortunately for him the judge was within ear-shot and heard him. "Officer, in my chambers now". So where did I spend 18 months serving 'prison time'? I was sent to a work camp to do logging and deforestation, situated on the shores of The Chain Of Lakes!!! Every guard there had to have their fun to ask me if I was stealing any lake water.


If I knew I did nothing, my only response to any question would be "Lawyer."


Anything you say can, and will be misquoted and used against you.


Never talk to the police especially if you're innocent.  Listen the way that fool detective is talking to him.  I can't even watch this makes me so mad


"If you didn't do it why are you being so defensive?" My dad asked me this one time when my step-mom found weed (which is illegal in my state) in my sisters room. My step-mom somehow didn't communicate that it was in my sisters room and not mine therefore I was sat down, humiliated in front of my family, and yelled at until 10-15 minutes later my step-mom told my dad that it wasn't found in my room. It's honestly one of the most frustrating thing in the world to be sat down and accused of things you can't defend yourself against because someone has already made up their mind about you.

This but instead my family acussed me of going to online whorehouses

After 20 minutes of constant humilliation I got mad and almost beat the shit out of them if they won't respect be they will fear me

That sentiment is so stupid.  Of course when someone is falsely accused of something they get more defensive rather than less.

Literally damned if you don't and damned If you do.

I... don't know what to say. I can only really hope that the future doesn't have anything like this happen to you again.

Similar thing happened with me and my parents. They looked at my assignments for school and saw that something hadn’t been put into the grade book yet. They thought that I didn’t do it, when in fact I DID turn it in, and my teacher had yet to grade it. <br>It turned from a lecture about turning things on time into them yelling at me, even when I told them that it just wasn’t graded yet. The next day I went to my teacher, only for her to confirm to me that she just hadn’t graded the papers yet. When I told my parents that, they just said ‘ok’ and didn’t even apologize for yelling at me for no reason to the point of tears. Writing this at the moment is just making me more and more pissed off

Lol.
I got a kick out of this lol.

If being accused of having weed by your parents is your wrongfully accused story you haven't been through jack fucking shit.

That's hilarious 'I been through some shit. Yea my parents found weed...'

Hahahaha!

@catsofstyle Was the random kid wearing some kind of a costume, Was he white ?.(if the random kid was not white, I think some people  might consider it offensive(if asked multiple times) and the principal wasn't wrong In suspending your friend, I don't know why she would suspend you, she might have not watched the video herself)

Dad owes you a major apology in front of the whole family

If you take the ato out then your name is pot head 🤔

Step mom sounds vindictive. My first thought goes straight to, why do this? What’s in it for her? Did she fear your father would think less of her if he knew it was her daughters weed? Was she afraid in any way of how your father would treat her daughter if he found out? Or is she so self absorbed she wants you out of the way so it can be all about her and her daughter with your father?
Regardless of her motivations, manipulative people in my experience can be dangerous. If not through violent acts, through their attempts to control and maneuver others to meet their own needs.
Sorry to hear this, hopefully things have since improved for you.

this isnt nearly similar to your experience but i havent been accused of lying for quite some time until a couple days ago when i was on a walk with my bestfriend, we sat on a bench and had an amazing view of our home town and there was a church in the distance and i thought i saw a drone flying on top of it and was like "i just thought that bird was a drone haha" and then about 20 minutes later while we were walking past the church she was like "look theres a drone" and i was so excited because i knew i saw it from a distance and she kept saying i didnt and then i kept saying that i TOLD her i did and shes like "no you didnt tell me" and then im like "well i guess you weren't listening" and replies with "no, you just didnt" istg i wanted to slapppppp that bish into the river but i just shook it off and forgot about it because i didnt feel like arguing. anyway glad i ranted, now i can sleep at night knowing people who read this long ass paragraph know the real truth.

Any parent willing to humiliate their children like that is a horrible person.

True.  That's why I stay away from crazy people, that includes all of my family members.  The stress and drama would kill you.  I realized I'm living with crazy parents when they preach peace and love and then do otherwise.

I had a little different experience. When I was a cadet (ATC) I taken aside and told 'I will not have my officers disrespected'. I had a half eaten Snickers in my hand which he told me to put down and stand to attention. Supposedly I'd stuck two fingers up at this other officer. I denied it but not sure he believed me but he dismissed me. Later the officer I insulted(supposedly) bent down to me when I was sat down and in a low voice 'you cheeky ****' he seemed more bemused than angry though. Anyway talking to others about it this kid chimed up admitted it was him. He didn't put it right though.

i have a similar situation except it was at school and i was with my friend and he asked this random kid (idk for what reason) if he was white and the kid just ignored him and kept walking. Later after school we were walking home together and the kids mom followed us in her car and started yelling at us saying we were harrassing her son even tho my friend just asked him one question. We were just ignoring most of the things she was saying and tried to keep walking and i guess she went down to the school and reported us. The next day we were called in the office and the assistant principal of the school said she had us on multiple cameras following and pushing the kid. She said she had us on cameras in places we weren’t even close to and when we asked her to show us the videos she said she couldn’t because it was “confidential”. She even called my dad right infront of my face lying to him about everything and there was nothing i could do i felt helpless. She continued to say she had us on camera and we both got suspended for a week for bullying all because my friend asked a random kid if he was white 💀🤦♂

@Sir Thomas Rodrick III I keep my weed in my sister's room so I don't get yelled at.

dude i have a similar story. when my sister used to come home from college, she would stay in my room and i would sleep on the couch. well one day she had some friends over, and one of them must’ve left a vape in my room (i’ve never seen one nor have I ever smoked one, even to this day i haven’t tried) and she called me into her room and asked me what it was. i played with it for a second thinking it was an EpiPen or a lead holder for a pencil. she then went to accuse me of being someone who smokes, and obviously i denied it and was frustrated that i was being accused of such things.

@Spartacus Smith free gas that is great so yeah and payment that's the opposite of a shity job u need to steal

I'm a cashier and my job often accuses me of taking money out of the drawer like I'm stealing. You know how annoying it is to be accused of stealing from your job just because you're handling money all day? I mean for fucks sake the job includes free gas, why would I risk stealing a few bucks here and there when I get free gas?

@Nickita Doronin he didn't say step sister lmao

@Nickita Doronin he didn't say step sister lmao

If there's one thing i've learned from poeple who've already made up their minds, it's that it's futile trying to convince them of the facts. You can bring out an entire probability chart with data sheets and video evidence that exonerates you and they still won't give a shit, but the same thing coming from someone else has them change their mind.

The best way to teach them a lesson is to not take their shit and be aggressive back. It pisses them off, but when the truth finally comes out, they learn that they were in the wrong and usually become submissive from guilt. Oh, and don't forgive them either; let them learn and never trust them until they prove themselves as a way for it to never happen again. If that person, even a parent, was being an asshole for no reason, be an asshole back because not only do you have justification and they don't, but because once they learn this they can't say anything back. Unless they explicitly do something to make up, be hostile. Don't let them slip it under the rug so that they can make the same mistake again. That's a lesson i wish i knew much sooner.

@Lightning Only Comments Once idk that's why I'm asking

@Sir Thomas Rodrick III How else would it get there, Sherlock?

One day when i was in 4th grade another 4th grader beaten up as hell and with a broken arm came in with the director during the class and was pointing his finger at me, i got confused and didnt speak very well german at this time (we came 1 year before from russia). So i had to go with them and my Grandmother had to come to school, they asked me which way i went after school, 4 days ago. After leavig the school there were a left and right path, me and my friends changed the paths cause we were playing or going to a gaming store. So i remembered it was the right path, they said the guy was beaten up on the left path, so they asked 1 of my friends and he said it was the LEFT ONE! So they didnt believe me and suspendet me from the school. My whole family gave me the "you are destroying your and the other guys life, how dare you to do such a thing" look and they had a lot to say.... (except for my mother). While looking for a new school, almost 2 weeks later, the director called and apologized and told they found the real guy.
The other guy looked like me, short hair, almost the same build, but obviously not the same face. (And not Russian)
The guy who got beaten up couldnt really remember the face, they only found him cause he came up during a break and wanted his money and his lunchbox.
My friend didnt know how important it was to remember the path we went home and just said something.....
I feel you mate, the frustration was real here aswell.

@RobMacKendrick I’m attacking you because you’re being defensive about my attacks! You’re supposed to lay down and take it!

Why am I being so defensive? Maybe because you're attacking me?

@Ash Jeez really? I’m so sorry you had to deal with that.

@CheerioHerio he didn’t even apologize, he just b-lined it to my sister when she had gotten home from a friends house.

Imagine being accused of a crime just because you were in the area.


How can that cop sit there and obviously lie to the black man? I'm glad he won his civil suit and the cop was canned.


i don't understand how anyone can do this. How can you knowingly imprison an innocent man?


Holy shit. Canadian police are held accountable for their actions? Y'all are so fuckin' lucky.


Arrogant detective: "You're not in a enviable position"<br>Ends up getting sued, suspended, demoted and has to pay damages.... That's not an enviable position either, buddy.

Had to pay damages? I think not, thats coming straight from the taxpayer. <br>The detective and the arresting officers had been suspended without pay, but as seen multiple times on ATA or other comparable channels that could mean anything from suspended for 2 hours to 1 week. I sincerely doubt it was more than 2 weeks.

@Paul Stocker they were back at work after their 2 week unpaid vacation where they came back to a lower rank job which also paid them less and they had to pay over $40,000 to the man

He should have been imprisoned. He knowingly lied during the interview AND jailed a man he KNEW couldn't have been it

Thankgod cop got his karma but he needs more punishment

Thankgod cop got his karma but he needs more punishment

@Dave poj They have several forms of legal protection here in the US:
1 - Blue Line code of silence / the "brotherhood"
2 - Internal investigations
3 - Police unions
4 - Biased criminal justice system
5 - Qualified Immunity
6 - Indemnification when all else fails

A cop has to mess up with malicious intent and wicked badly for all those protections to be stripped away or otherwise fail

@Shabazz First of all, if you have to talk about semantics, then what I say is still correct. Because you can literally sue anyone, suing anyone require you to go to a court and file a necessary paperwork, anyone can do that to everyone, however,  whether the court will dismiss your case is another issue. As that is a seperate action than lauching a lawsuit.

Secondly, as I have already demostrated, you can sue the Police Officer, Police Department when they did not break any guideline, this is based on civil right violation, as an elected official, I can perform my duty as charged and it can still violate someone's else constitutional civil right. A police officer break down a door after getting fired at, he return fire and kill an innocent person that was in the vincinty, the officer charge is adhere to his duty and act in self defence, but that does not mean the victim civil right (as in right to live) was not violated. Hence this is what lawsuit can bring in to people.

So, you are wrong either way, either you play it semantically or stick with what you said.

@Running Production I don’t need to do that if you already know what qualified immunity is. What’s the point of that? It’s just a waste of time. That being said there are countless examples of people being the victim of police brutality and they have to sue the city because the cop has immunity from a personal lawsuit. Once again my claim was never that police could not be aired at all just that it’s very difficult, which does not jive with your original claim.

@Running Production I didn’t say I didn’t  look into it myself. I said that I didn’t feel like typing it all out. <br>The bottom line is that you said that you can sue anyone. But that’s not true. You cannot sue a police officer, elected officials, judges, etc. UNLESS certain stipulations are met. It would be different if it was you CAN sue them EXCEPT for certain situations but it’s the opposite of that.

@Running Production I didn’t say I didn’t  look into it myself. I said that I didn’t feel like typing it all out.
The bottom line is that you said that you can sue anyone. But that’s not true. You cannot sue a police officer, elected officials, judges, etc. UNLESS certain stipulations are met. It would be different if it was you CAN sue them EXCEPT for certain situations but it’s the opposite of that.

Why would I need to go around claiming that anyone can be sued when that is an actual fact and everybody knows that.

Jiust becuase you said I am wrong that does not mean I am wrong.

Funny that come from the same person who say "I didn't dive into the issue and research the issue and claim I am right." Wasn't that's exactly what you are doing?

@Shabazz So just because you said I am wrong then I am wrong? That is more than lazy I supposed.

You need fact to back up what you said, I quote you a case to demostrate my point, and you should too.

@Running Production Obviously it doesn’t apply to every situation or else it wouldn’t be qualified immunity. If you’re so versed in the way it works then you should be going around claiming that anyone can be sued because it’s not true.

@Running Production oh my god. I was being lazy in the definition because I didn’t feel like typing a bunch. My point has always been that you can just sue anyone. Don’t try to pretend you’re claim was right by diving further into it what I said than I was willing to. Haha. You were wrong.

@Shabazz lol, it's strange that you quote "Qualified Immunity" yet you know nothing about the term.

Qualified Immunity means Police can enjoy immunity "Only" if the person or organisation in question (ie the Cop or the Department) acts in good faith.

However, the term "Good Faith" is actually open to discussion here. Say for an example, would you sue the police for writing you a ticket over J-walking?

That term is established to exclude responsibility for an officer or an department when they are performing their job, so that their right to excute their duty will not be hinder by lawsuit. Which usually would not be the case when you sue them, because a normal person will not sue the Police or its department when everything is A-OK, you only sue them when there are something wrong

It is not like you said at all which "You cannot sue them when they are found not in violation of policy" dude, I can show you thousand of case the Police Officer in question was cleared by the department and yet get sued in Civil Court and found for the plaintiff. You don't need to look far, Breonna Taylor's killer was clear of any wrong doing by the department (2 of them still have their job) yet the family sued and won a case in a tune of 12 millions dollars. Virtually every Police Shooting since 1990 have a lawsuit attached whether the Police Officer in that particular circumstance were clear of wrongdoing or not.

Kid, please don't kid a lawyer. Look up civil right violation lawsuit against Police department on the internet man.

@Running Production We’re talking about police right? So clearly that’s they. And again you cannot sue a police officer unless it is determined that they violated a policy. Look up qualified immunity. I never understand why people don’t question themselves and just keep assuming they’re right without checking to see if they are. You just keep asserting the same wrong claim without even double checking.

@Shabazz Who are "They"?

You can sue anyone in the US in civil court, police officer and politician are not exempted to this rule. You (as an civilian) cannot "sue" someone criminally tho, that will need to go thought an indictment procedure thought your DA office.

@Running Production You can only use them in certain situations where they clearly violated a rule  but if they determine that they didn’t you can’t sue them.

@Shabazz You can sue the police (as in individual officer) in the US in both Civil or Criminal court (You need to be nominally over the line if it was latter, like that cop who sat on George Floyd neck and killed him) There are no point to sue an officer in a civil court tho, unless you think a cop on a lousy $70,000 a year salary can afford to damages that rack up to hundreds of thouusand and even in millions?? Those are going to be a default judgement to begin with anyway......

Police Officer, Police Department and sometime state prosecution body can be sue (depends on jurisdiction).

@PhoenixHinds Can confirm that Canadian PDs tend to take stuff like this very seriously. It's not like the US where if you become a police, you have a sort of legal protection (even if not explicitly stated).

$46,000 for 3 and a half days is a pretty enviable position.

@Zane Burns I've had police and fireman in my family for multiple generations, as well as friends, acquaintances, and enemies.  I'm not deluded, unlike almost everyone in this message chain, I truly know better.  Everyone is human, and humans make human mistakes.  Police are part of a culture, and whatever problem the police have is indicative of that culture, not of the police themselves.  I've spent some time in Latin American and seen what bad cops are.  We don't really have that problem here.  However, if everyone gets their wish, we will soon.  The more "us versus them" mentality you foster, the worse it gets.

@Paul Stocker Getting suspended without pay is not a vacation.  It's a, "How can I make bills since I didn't plan enough because i have a reliable paycheck I just fucked up," situation.  There's a lot of pressure on detectives to close cases, often their livelihoods depend on it.  There are also people who would be used care salesmen who get jobs as police and find their way into a detectives position.  It sucks, but we and all our institutions are essentially human and prone to error.  It's why the victim got a huge payday and he was punished so severely.

3 of them were, not just the interviewer.

I think some detectives forget that an innocent man being sent to prison is worse than 100 guilty men going free.

Man here in America they would have said “Oh whatever you seemed guilty. Get out.” No punishment and you can’t sue any of the cops involved because of that good old qualified immunity.

@Ziekk I feel as though there should be more measures added to the booking process when arresting people. there are not many professionals in this type of job

People don't realize that every word will be used against them, regardless of the perversion of context that must be made to do so. Every single word gets guilty and innocent people closer to prison, so don't say a damned thing.

Cops view suspects as the enemy, it's only fair to respond by not helping them bury you.

Every attorney in the country will give the same advice: never talk to cops.

i love the dictionary, many don't realise the power of their words

i love the dictionary, many don't realise the power of their words

The most frustrating thing for me to hear these detectives say is asking the suspect to "prove" goddamn anything.  That isn't how this works, you don't get to just shift the burden of proof, you are making the accusation, you are the one with the burden of proof.

@Fernanda Partridge if it was the first time.... I think not :(

Lol. Good. He deserves it. Appalling that when these people fail at their jobs, innocent people suffer. He’ll certainly think twice next time. Shame there was a first time though.


You know what's crazy the behavior of an innocent person and a guilty person trying to look behave like am innocent person is indistinguishable in some cases


"I promise you I'll investigate it thoroughly, I have a duty to the truth. It will only be a few hours."

3 fucking days later... I'd be so pissed, $50k isn't nearly enough.


I'm glad those officers faced some consequences but it would've been nice if they were fired for that kind of incompetence. You know like how jobs tend to work.


I know I’d fold under pressure, these officers are trained interrogators, there needs to be compensation for playing mind games and manipulating innocent citizens. It’s traumatic.


Police officer:  The truth is paramount.<br>Also police officer: Lies his arse off.

Police officer:  The truth is paramount.
Also police officer: Lies his arse off.

@Cole Sisler not all of them but a lot of them

@Svetovidijak Paramount means top priority

Standard Operating Procedure for the police

Just thinking the same thing when I saw your comment!

@KittyKat yeah we need a lot more of that in the world at the moment.

@KittyKat people love their blanket statements. I hope you will be a understanding and fair police officer one day, make a new standard!

@Adrian Celsius Tepes It's basically the same behavior they would condemn in others. I think these interrogation practices are highly unethical tbh. They are using the same immoral manipulation techniques, just in a more socially accepted context in which they get paid for it. Have you seen the series "Dexter"? That's a similar debate I think. (A serial killer killing serial killers...he also works for the police.)

KittyKat true, but they are allowed to and can use it to their advantage

Svetovidijak paramount usually means ‘more important than anything else’.

vinsanity982 but it becomes a problem when  getting a confession without hard evidence is highly rewarded.

It just gives officers an incentive to make shit up and act like they know for a fact that a suspect is guilty even though they actually have no idea and are just trying to get a reward out of it, even if they have to abuse innocent people for it.

It's like a parent telling you: Do as I say, not as I do. That's one of the main problems with law enforcement I think. That the techniques they use are actually what the people they try to put behind bars are known for. I don't think you can use these techniques and still keep your integrity. You shouldn't put out a fire with fire. That's why I personally prefer statement analysis. It doesn't require manipulation.

@HoseTheBeast Well, i'm not going to search every country in the world but so far i found that Canada and Australia allow their police to lie to you. Are you saying Canada is uncivilized?? lol Please say yes so I can laugh my ass off.

They lie because they want them to admit to it

Yeah thats something cops on The US can do, lie. Not in civilized countries tho cops cant just traight up lie to you.

@Andrew Hoyt Yes, what you said is correct however, he was communicating with the police before sending them the disk. He asked the cops to basically swear that they couldn't trace it and they promised him they couldn't. So he sent it and they immediately traced it lol. So yes, they did lie to him to catch him. But anyways, back to the other guy. The lame bluff attempt didn't put this guy in jail, it was shoddy police work

@vinsanity982 BTK wasn't busted because cops lied to him, he was busted because he used a floppy disk to correspond with cops and the cops used digital forensics to discover that the disk belonged to a Church that BTK attended.  That's hard evidence that links the disk to the church to Dennis Rader.

@vinsanity982 I really don't think they should lie.  Like in the video, the cops believe that the person they've arrested is guilty, but they don't have any evidence to support that assumption, so they resort to lying which doesn't help anybody.  It's their job to identify evidence and then piece together a timeline for the crime and match that evidence and timeline up with the person they have or would like to have in custody.  If you don't have the evidence, then you don't lie and make up evidence just because you FEEL somebody is guilty.

@Dp Peters Unfortunately, you kind of have to thank middle class tax payers for that pay out...

@Dp Peters not all but the few give a bad impression of the many AS USUAL.

@Jesse Jennings Laws made up on the spot and lying on oath is not the same thing as bluffing a suspect in an interrogation. How you feel about cops, I agree, I don't trust them and I think they can make make mistakes and they definitely need reform. However, I disagree that them lying here was "THE" bad thing. The "THE bad thing" was their incompetence  and  their half ass investigation

@vinsanity982 it seems to me that they really think lying and farming the citizens like livestock is their job.
From laws made up at the moment to lying on the stand.
This distrust of the police didn't happen in a vacuum.

@Jesse Jennings Well I said it was part of their job, not their only job. Yes, they are supposed to protect the rights of citizens which includes capture people who have violated someone else's rights. And in the USA, it is completely legal for a cop to lie to you. I mean, the BTK killer (bind tie kill) was busted because the cops lied to him. The issue here was incompetence. They didn't do the investigative work that would have made it obvious that he was innocent. If they sat there and lied to the guy, but then left the room and checked his alibi, they would have let him go. But they didn't. And that was violation of his rights, not that they lied to him

@vinsanity982 no, lying is not part of their job.
Protecting the right of citizens is their fkn job.
Which they fail at and are a waste of money and makes us less free and protected.

Yeah, well, I don't have a problem with them lying, that's their job to do whatever it takes to catch the bad guy. I have a problem with their incompetence and lack of judgement.

They all tell lies and they’re allowed to. That has nothing to do with his demotion or suspension.

Cops are professional liars. That's what they do.


Idc what you say, dude got $46,000 for spending 3 days in jail sounds like a steal to me


Some Police just want to protect and serve their pay checks.


Great video thanks by any chance would you be able to show Jeffrey Dahmer's interrogation


Forced confessions are real.  This happens more than people realize


I actually cheered out loud when I heard that Michael was exonerated, compensated, and that the investigators were punished.  Fucking brilliant.

Should have gotten more than a measly $40k.

investigators need to do their job carefully, but some of them are just here for money tho ;-;

@clayton jacobs nope. Their career will never recover.

@Rasheed Nesbitt it's funny what you find funny.

@Rasheed Nesbitt it's funny how you lump all Americans together

@Trent Mclellan 99.99999999% men. VM are innnocent angels

NOT ENOUGH investigator MUST BE JAILED! 2 years as compensation too.

now the interrogation from his point of view is almost funny.

Yeah thankfully it was just 3 days.. omg

Same, seemed like such a genuine and decent bloke. Horrible that he had guns pointed at him and served time but so glad he got the 46 thousand payout

@Street blawger Yea, it was a slap on the wrist. They definitely should have been fired and not allowed to be employed in that line of work or similar work ever again. What they did is despicable

Punished but didn’t lose their job aka not punished

Me too! Although I think their punishment was a slap on the wrist. They should have been fired! But I'm glad they didn't just get away with it completely!

i mean trust me, those investigators looked at the suspension as a vacation, even with the "demotion" they're probably making more  than they realistically need

@Cam English It’s funny how Americans think it’s possible to be a ‘foreigner’ in a YouTube comment section lmao

the way foreigners use brilliant is so fucking funny lmao

Unfortunately the story might not have had a good ending if this was in the US

In the US they would have gotten a promotion.

@Bogos J. Binted  It shouldn't have happened in the first place. I'm not taking the compensation away from him he deserves every penny.

@Nicola Obrien I think compensation for the victims is more important than punishment for the perpetrators. 46K CAD is pretty good for 3 days of prison and being wrongfully accused.

@aaron ramsdale enthusiast What was their deleted comment?

Imagine how many people this happens to that don’t get exonerated and compensated and rot in prison

That was not punishment for the investigators !!!!


Stuff like this really leads you to believe police don’t care who confesses to a crime or gets convicted as long as SOMEONE does


Please post your next video!!! We are all waiting. Love watching your videos


What I've learnt from this is that if you are neurodivergent, you must pray to not find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time


qualified immunity should be removed when their badge enables them to commit crimes, treat them like what they are, criminals


If an officer KNOWINGLY falsely accuses someone of a crime they should lose their badge/job plain and simple.

@Aidan Leung considering they falsely accused an INNOCENT person, you hinting that they need to be proven guilty of that is far too ironic.

I have only one question - why he couldn't be released? It was only stealing. They can't prohibit him of leaving town or what?

@Pilot This officer didn't make any mistakes in his interrogation, other than not being confident and controlling the conversation. Telling a suspect you have evidence and to stop lying is a investigation tactic cops are trained to use, lying to get evidence is their job.  Not treating suspects like individuals and refusing any benefit of the doubt, is their job. Arresting a 6'3" black dude after the call said short white guy, is probably a different story, but once they'd stopped some one, everything from that point on they were doing by the book. Though i'd argue ignoring suspect descriptions and arresting a POC is also unofficially "by the book" at this point.

@A Bite Of Life you don't do much thinking do you pal?

@A Bite Of Life you don't do much thinking do you pal?

@Aidan Leung Having no prove should already count as being false

losing their job would be getting off too easy. the DEATH PENALTY would be getting off too easy. they should have life in prison.

For everyone saying that cops can lie. Yes maybe if it's a life or death situation (let's say for example that a person is in danger and they must find them as quick as possible). But when it's a burglary and you have zero evidence you just start with basic questions (where were you today etc) not that aggressive "i know you did it" lol

I don't know about in Canada, but in the U.S. firing a cop is a normal everyday occurrence for "gypsy cops" the ones who get fired for racist acts of violence, can drive a mile down the road to the next precinct and get hired THE SAME DAY THEY WERE FIRED.

they got demoted and suspended frankly i dont know anyone whod even want this guy on the force he clearly doesnt know what hes doing and needs to take courses to get better

@Rick it's not a mistake if you abuse your power on purpose, it's a crime

Destroyer 13, not only job, but freedom too. Should be put in prison!!

If it’s an interrogation with evidence and it’s critical maybe it can help but this is crazy.

Honestly they should be imprisoned for the same time the innocent person would've gotten

there is no mistake this is police corruption for their own promotion

@Banraku M It is completely legal for police to lie during interrogations. That includes lying about evidence.

They should go to jail. Hold them to a higher standard.

They should go to jail. Hold them to a higher standard.

Really policing is a job we can’t afford for someone to suck at.

No they fucking shouldn’t, they’re allowed to tell ‘legal lies’ as a tactic of making a guilty person confess.

Good luck trusting the unions to agree with that measure

The problem is pretending you have evidence that you don't is an effective tactic of getting people to confess to crimes they did.

Shit if they knowingly do that they deserve prison time.

Shit if they knowingly do that they deserve prison time.

They should be put in jail for more time than normal

They should be put in jail for more time than normal

@Rick court isn’t a place to allow mistakes you can be the decider of if someone stays in jail for the rest of their life or not

forget losing the badge. They should get what the innocent would have got plus another 5-10.

@Aidan Leung Yeah, that's why he got a demotion, because he put getting his mark of merit above the lives he is supposed to protect.

@Aidan Leung indeed it is a mark of merit and as a mind trick it is fine to begin with... What im disagreeing here with is the fact they kept him locked up for that long with no evidence whatsoever.

@superazazel8740 True, police are allowed to claim they have evidence that they don't have. That's OK cos they "know" the person is guilty, and of course when the person gives up, overwhelmed by all the evidence seemingly against them, and falsely confesses just to get a shorter sentence, that proves they were guilty, doesn't it?

This utterly verminous technique might be less effective if people were aware it exists. A shocking number of people don't know the police are allowed to, and will routinely lie to suspects about vitally important facts of the case. Get a fucking lawyer!

They're scum and I don't know how they sleep at night. I suspect denial is well involved though. Pension probably helps.

@Aidan Leung No... getting evidence or a confession through questions related to the crime is a mark of merit...., falsifying information with no basis of fact in order to get evidence or a confession is coersion and illegal..

@MrDahQ whats stopping them from just passing it off as some kind of mental trick for interrogation? Besides they mentioned in the video that getting confessions without evidence is a mark of merit.

@Aidan Leung how about "we have conclusive evidence tha you did this, im not here to figure out whether you did it or not since we already know you did it. Im here just to find out what kind of a guy you are whether youre a serial burglar or if this is a one time thing" i dont know how much more evidence you need to be honest since ironic enough theres video evidence of the officer claiming these things and the irony just keeps on giving.

@Rick no. don't try to justify his actions. the guy he was supposed to have in that chair in front of him was a white short male AND he lacked evidence; there was absolutely no reason to hold him for 3 DAYSSS! this is so unbelievable.

@Rick if you make silly mistakes that could potentially ruin people's lives then you should not be an officer

@Aidan Leung Very easy, claiming you have video evidence or witness testimony when you don't have such, or any evidence at all for that matter, yet still try to blatantly coerce a confession. Even when directly being called out for his bluff maintained that he had this evidence. There is a point where testing to see if someone would crack, becomes blatant vindictiveness, which is what this officer displayed

@Aidan Leung Like first incident. Looking for small white man, but instead arrest 6 foot black guy.

How would they prove they knowingly falsely accused though?


The interrogator and 3 other officers were demoted and suspended without pay I'm shocked.....they are normally promoted. They should have been fired off the force.


Anyone who lies and get someone sent to jail should at a minimum spend the exact same amount of time in jail that the other person served if not double the amount.


Detective: "so basically I have to lie to get the truth"


These types of cops, should be forced to serve the sentence, they gave an innocent man.


Cop: "You're being incarcerated for a crime you didn't commit"

Canadian: "Understandable. Have a good day."

@Rajat  Not looking for an argument Just pointing out that You probably should put in Your comment Who You are "replying /or directing it to" (that is who are You calling an ignoramus)
 Because as it stands that is not clear to other commenters ((or me)), and it seems to have lead to being  misinterpreted.
Best regards.

as an introvert, i would have acted in the exact same way

Reacted like that because he couldn't take the charge seriously, because he knew it wasn't him. Basic psychology, it's a surprise he didn't laugh in response tbf, I would, like a "you serious?" kinda laugh.

Nah mate I’m good. Just saw someone calling another guy a coward for being kind is all, maybe you’re like A D too

@A D Yeah like if you were there you would've fought the detective to prove your innocence. Must be hard living life like an orangutan

@A D dude acted civilized, and got 40k as compensation

That's the most Canadian thing I've heard all month


There are three phrases and only three, that I will say to a cop for any given situation.
Hello officer, Am I under arrest?
Am I free to go?
With respect, I would like to consult a lawyer before I say anything else.
That is it. That is all. no ifs, ands, or buts.
Even if I am a victim of car jacking, or someone mugged me, or I was in a car accident.
a conversation with a cop can be used against you. It can NOT be used for you. There is absolutely no benefit to talk to a cop. none.


When you buy something, keep the receipt of time & date and keep receipt.  Wave at security cameras whenever you see one.  Take a picture and check-in on social media to prove were somewhere (for at least part of your day).  Be pleasant to anyone you see so maybe they can be a good witness


Demoted and suspended without pay... should have been fired and brought up on charges.


That is terrible! But I am glad how it ended. He deserved compensation and the officers deserved their punishment. I believe the officers got off lightly. They should have been fired.


People keep saying that cops aren't your enemies, but they're not your friends either. <br>Their job is to arrest people. Always assume the worst in a interrogation and shut up until your lawyer shows up.

Cops only do what theyre told to do and sometimes break that barrier and go off the limits of justice they are anything but justified people never question a cop

@Ridley fear monger? it's a reality that "cops who break the law or pull shit like the first one" are almost NEVER held accountable. Cops don't report each other. If they do, the whistleblower is often punished. RIP Chris Dorner

@NeTTeB damn. That cop was a coward, but is this a common occurrence during school shootings?

@NeTTeB damn. That cop was a coward, but is this a common occurrence during school shootings?

@Dr. Coomer Yep. There have been cases where there was a school shooter but the cop that was at that school for those specific situations just ran away and didn't face any charges. Also if you die right in front of them they are under no obligation to call an ambulance for you. That counts for everybody, cop or not,  though

They exist on paper to protect you from criminals, but the enemy of my enemy is not my friend.
Any institution that has the authority to pull you off the street and steal your life is to be treated with extreme caution. You're not dealing with friendly neighborhood policeman, you're dealing with a professional government snatcher. It doesn't matter why they would take you, what matters is that they can. Would you trust a trained bear not to maul you to death?

@SpectreNeon You know, being against drugs is kind've ironic considering the CIA actually sold cocain to black majority inner cities to fund the contra rebels during Reagans presidency which created the crack epidemic. And before you say i'm wearing a tin-foil hat no, it actually happened.

Unfortunately they also have the power to ruin your life if they are bad. Sad when so many are honest and hardworking that they get punished for the few.

@mjoto "If you hate lawyers... like I do. Not lawyers as people but lawyers as a profession. Then you'll understand that you're paying someone for an attempt to do something. You'll understand that a lawyer is not paid to get you out of jail but simply to be your safety blanket while you go through the legal process. However, a good lawyer will be your own personal private investigator to get you out of situations like this. I wish all lawyers were good.  Theyre not. Its a dice roll. Thats why I hate them. The profession, not the persom."

No kidding! Imagine your plumber comes to fix your toilet, but it still doesn't flush. You plumber charges you top dollar anyway, saying, "But I TRIED to fix it!!"

@Steven Hair huh!? If you fit the description they are certainly keen on arresting you. They could even arrest you without you even being aware they are cops. They are not your friends period, full stop!

Cops are meant to be people's friends, that will protect them and give them justice, but it is hard when your payment is not determined by helping people but arresting them

Their JOB is to be an enemy. You're right, they're not your friends. So don't talk to them.

Their JOB is to be an enemy. You're right, they're not your friends. So don't talk to them.

It's kinda funny I think, it's a defense sistem or a developed insensitivity towards the suspect, it's more easy to make that job seeing everyone like a suspect instead of a innocent

But if the evidence against you is strong going to the interrogation room and having a cop voach for you behaving innocent may be your only chance. Especially since your lawyer can show footage of someone who was confirmed to be innocent during the interrogation and show the simmilarities.

Yeah but the interrogators come in like they're interested on hearing your side. Using the buddy technique so you'll let down your guard. Bring you a soda. Ask what they can do to make your more comfortable. As far as he's concerned, you're guilty. He just need to get you to say it.

@Alexander Redhorse and I bet "enforcing the law" involves lying out of their asses to get a promotion at the expense of the lives of the people they swore to protect.

@MTB 5 Couldn't that backfire, and ruin there career?

@Sam have u ever seen a swat video with hostages they don't just protect capital they make sure the victims are kept alive and resued. Or when a mass shooting happens it's the cops that show up and protect the people lol.

@first DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services. Cops don't have to protect you, it's literally not their job. The Supreme Court found that the government had no affirmative duty to protect any person, even a child, from harm by another person. “Nothing in the language of the Due Process Clause itself requires the State to protect the life, liberty, and property of its citizens against invasion by private actors," stated Chief Justice Rehnquist for the majority, "even where such aid may be necessary to secure life, liberty, or property interests of which the government itself may not deprive the individual" without “due process of the law.”

I would say saving you from violent criminals is a pretty friendly thing to do.

You couldn't be more wrong.  Their job is NOT to "arrest people".  There's FAR more to law enforcement than to simply arrest people.  What those cops did in this video was shitty and wrong and they paid for it too.  One thing you are correct about is no matter the situation, if you're being questioned by police, you stay quiet and request an attorney.

@ratsalad lol you don't know what "capital" means. you're a worker, not a capitalist. figure it out

@Jacob Ott And hopefully one day you finish high school.  here's a tip, if you have a problem with a law the answer isn't to whine on social media that the law system shouldnt exist. whine to legislators that changes should be made to make the law you have an issue with nonexistent. But as it stands the general consensus is that most people want doing meth in the middle of the street to be illegal.  youre on the wrong side here, get help

@Henry Bollinger Now this guy gets it! The police are the fucking enemy and so is the government.

@Steven Hair The Police do not make you follow the law, aka "enforce the law" as that in itself would be violating the law. They arrest you and attempt to punish you if they believe they can prove you violated the law. There is no enforcing whatsoever. They're very selective in who they look at when it comes to violating the law too. Certain socioeconomic circumstances will make you much more likely to be falsely accused and possibly convicted of a crime you did not commit. Those with the resources and positions of power break the law regularly and are often found out too, yet they do not even get the formal accusations, let alone actually convicted for the crimes the did commit. <br>Law in its current guise does nothing more than protect the powers that be from those who the powers that be are exploiting.

@Turquoise Cheetah Thank fuck there's at least one person in these comments who think for themselves.

@Sam I bet you would still call them to protect you

@SpectreNeon Law enforcement is a career defined by enforcing lawys (Just or Unjust) created by a Government Entity. Enforcement means to strengthen, to compel obedience. Force is an active, motion or change, a power or strength. By definition, these people actively exhibit power and compel one to become obediene so, in-turn, their laws or rules created by and agreed by politicians, are strengthened by force. They don't stop "criminal" activity, they enforce compliance and exhibit force to stop unlawful activities, conduct that goes directly against by rules, or laws, created by politicians. This means that if one were to participate in an activity, that hasn’t been created  or "passed" as unlawful, or "unruly" then that conduct you were participating in wouldn't require enforcement because there was no rules, or laws created against the activity. Crime is an unlawful act punishable by a State or Authoritarian Entity. What if, say, urinating outside was was agreed on as an illegal activity that was punishable by a felony? If you do this, that would make your code of conduct "unlawful" and it an "unlawful activity" or what you refer to as a "criminal activity".

Listen to me when I tell you this - The police are ABSOLUTELY your enemy if they have suspected you of a crime. It really sucks and is very hard to swallow as an innocent person, because as an innocent person, you want to try to do everything you can to help the police and give them as much information as you can. The problem is, they will use absolutely everything in their power and everything you say against you. They literally tell you this when reading your rights. If you are picked up for a crime, even if you are innocent - immediately call a lawyer.

@Henry Bollinger ok so we should get rid of all police?

My only experience with UK police has been in reporting a crime, and it's also the only time I've been made to feel like a criminal.

@Sam I wouldn't say that they are my enemy. They are products of a decades long broken system that values making money for the department, and whatever municipality they work for. Now does that mean that I trust police in anything other than an emergency situation? No.. absolutely not. But they aren't my enemy.

@Sam Don't phone the cops when you get stabbed, robbed, shot or have any crime committed against you.

Unfortunately Canada is different from the states. When you state "I want to talk to a lawyer" the interrogating officers don't have to stop questioning you. Basically the onus is on you to remain silent until your lawyer gets there. Also in Canada, a lawyer can't sit in the interrogation room with you. They can be outside, and you can stop and consult them whenever. But in Canada there is none of this "you asked for a lawyer, ok we are leaving the room" shit that you see in the States. But yes, the police are the enemy. ACAB

I forgot the guys name but he was a lawyer who was doing a speech to college students talking about this. And to never say anything ever even if you are innocent and went through all these awesome examples.

A cop then came up to talk after and literally said everything he told you is correct lol

SpectreNeon are (US) cops required to defend you when someone is trying to kill or rape you? Nope. Therefore, they are not there to protect you

Joe Rogan describes the "game" of police investigators and prosecutors of a win amd lose position perfectly. Once you understand that these people don't necessarily see their job as a public service but as just a job with opportunities to elevate or lose.

Lul, they want to take you out to a fishing expedition

There are a million ways that little bits of truth can come back to bite you in the ass even if you are innocent. NEVER talk to the police without a lawyer.

job is to enforce the law. not protect you, not help you or the like. their job at the end of the day to ENFORCE the law. they are enforcers.

@Sam fighting crime typically means stopping people from committing criminal activity. It exists in every sector of society, im not sure how thats hard for people like you to get

Yeah never talk to the cops unless your lawyer is present  even if you have nothing to hide they will always twist the facts against you even if you have good intentions

cops are absolutely your enemy. They do not exist to keep you safe, or to "fight crime", whatever that is supposed to mean. They exist to protect capital.

they are also trying to get fast track promotions by getting innocent people to confess and build a reputation as a great interrogator.  what a crazy system that encourages bad behaviour not good service.  throw cops like that out of the service.  show people respect.  I hope he got demoted to a lollypop lady (a pleasant woman who helps children cross the road in England and she holds a sign that looks like a giant lollypop to stop traffic) or a library security man.


And one more person leaves the station knowing without a doubt how dishonest cops are.


Shamelessly trying to get a wrong confession straight out of the suspect....that investigator... I wouldn't have the guts to show my face in public if I watched this video.


Actually even when proven innocent, it seems they'll still convict ya. Guilty until proven.. rich


2 years and the “evidence” is  somebodies word against his.

INSANE


Michael probably has more mediation experience than the detective. Immediately breaking out the “I understand your position and where you’re coming from”, I perfectly understand why you’d classify him as asserting dominance. He’s deescalating a situation properly, and that’s pretty funny.

@Fanian google "sandman daniel", I'm sure it will show up

@Max he got offered a job as a speaker but turned it down because he felt he was too introverted

@Jake What job did he get offered? I must have missed it (or it's not mentioned in this video)

@Lou hell even if you did do it. Best case is to shut up and lawyer up. If they have evidence nothing you say helps you. It only hurts you. And if you did it and they don’t have evidence it also only hurts you to speak. When dealing with the law, the less you say is better, guilty or innocent.

That's why if you ever find yourself in this situation, you don't waste your breath or get aggregated, and just tell them you want your lawyer. There's no more talking after that. Everything you say, can, and will used against you. No matter how innocent  you are.

@Man with No Name Well his fear his probably related towards a crowd. I am the same as him in that regard.

@Man with No Name makes me feel better about myself, if such a level headed and articulate guy doesn't like to speak in crowds then my shy ass feels less bad for stuttering when speaking to a large number of people lol

@Man with No Name I can see why he got offered the job, he's so calm yet confident and doesn't need to say much to get his point across

For a guy with a fear of public speaking, his composure is rock fuckin solid.


and here I am just thinking myself, being arrested and being fascinated by the fact that I am going to jail for 2 years, no college, no family problems, and all I am gonna do is write poetries...I wish that happens... :)


Reminds me of the crap that the South Euclid Police Department used to pull on us back in the day. I should have sued them 1000 times over.


I get so nervous for these poor people. My worst nightmare is to be locked up for something I didn’t do


The whole issue of "innocent until proven guilty" is such a farce.


“Wether you did it or not isn’t up for discussion”. They definitely need to re learn their job.

<b>"uh detective i believe that's the entire reason we're in this room right now"</b>

*"uh detective i believe that's the entire reason we're in this room right now"*

@fishhuntadventure All I can think is that hopefully he was able to sue someone for that. I agree, the thought is scary.

@Popular Opinion Dispenser <br>What scared me was the red headed dude who was innocent that they said spent two years behind bars wrongly accused. That could be me, could be any one of us. The tragedy is he had gone awry and been rehabilitated because of his prison experience and still got shafted. I hope he stayed the course even though he got jacked up.

The part that really bugs me is where the interviewer says "I have nothing to gain from trying to bluff you into a confession"... Which is total garbage. As Jim pointed out, getting a confession without any evidence looks great on a policeman's record so they absolutely have a vested interested in trying to pressure innocent people.<br>If criminals shouldn't be allowed to lie to protect their own interests, then neither should the people who are charged with  catching those criminals.

@Gerald Lacy Yep, it's a damn shame how some people only show up for the money. I wonder how many others were wrongly imprisoned because of that guy. As far as the interrogation went it was pretty standard but that detective thought it would be more beneficial to himself if he didn't bother following up on it. Only half the job was done 🙁

@Popular Opinion Dispenser yes I am new here. Thanks for the info! He just seemed to be so focused on that raise though 😂

I was like... um... Isn't that kind of in the job description lmao

Legally it's not only up for discussion but the sole purpose of an interrogation. Interrogators are just well trained liars.

This is very true, but also it's very sad because lawyers aren't your friends either. They lie and exploit your fears just like cops.

A detective's job is to cobble a case together any way possible, to be able to present to the district attorney.  In some towns and cities in the United States, the police department's budget is based on number of arrests.  Guilt or innocence of the accused isn't a part of the equation.
The prosecutor's job is to convince a jury of the defendant's guilt.  His job is based on a win/loss ratio.

Neither "truth" nor "justice" are a factor in any stage of the prosecution.

@Cole Tynan He'll be moving on to Australia next, no doubt. Full of underperforming poms..

Are you new to this channel? Detectives across the world say this and it works. This would have been a successful interrogation if they could be arsed to follow up his alibi and let him go but... promotion comes first for that arsehole.

That cop definitely looks at himself in the mirror every morning and says " I AM THE LAW"


9:48 can you prove you didn't leave your house other than your mother?

No no. Can YOU prove I didn't. At this point they have no evidence that he was there and 2 people saying as much.


As a American citizen and immigrant - I love this country and I wouldn't do anything to break the law, however cops aren't your friend. they're like a separate entity


NEVER, ever talk to the police without a lawyer.


The incompetence is strong in these detectives.
