They should re-open every single case that this “detective” worked.

He shouldn't  only be fired but have to pay financially and publically and lose every benefit and deemed unfit for any public position of trust.

I really feel like why do we even trust this government of they can't make Changes in law's like this.

@Bear Marco 'the tactics used were not illegal'
I think, I believe many others think, that starting an interview, and persisting: 'I know you did it, that's not even up for debate' when that's not true....
....is highly dubious, I don't think the Supreme Court ruled on that specifically and I doubt they'd approve of it.

Then you say Police Unions JUST push for more space to police better. Sorry but that's highly questionable, and of lower quality than most of your other points. Police Unions have supported colleagues and ex colleagues involved in bad practice and resisted effective long term responses. A blood is thicker than water, we should hang together approach has on occasions clouded their judgement. As a Union they are not independent arbiters of their members professional conduct, have not been legislated into such a role, and ought to recuse themselves from such misconduct considerations.

@Gaming Dolphin  Good. Be bored.  It's not my job to entertain you.

But ... people like you.. when you say you're bored, the truth is that you're hurt by some comments.  In this case, my comments sliced into your ego, and you're hating it.

Again, glad you found my comments worthy of responding to.  I mean, I think I make a lot of sense.  You might not like it ... but your hurt feelings is not my problem.

@Decency Counts None of what you said matters at all. Just baseless assumptions with no actual counter argument. You just come off as someone who only comments to justify your own beliefs or to get a ego boost, not to change minds or expand your own, but what do I know? Not a lot, but when it comes to me or Bear Marco? Neither do you. So instead of basically just saying “I’m right you’re wrong and nothing you say matters because I’m right.” Instead use a counter argument/insult idk I’m bored 😐

@Decency Counts .....Not sure about the hanging but at least jai time!

@CadenJames Clearly. The witness to the crime said it was a short white guy.

Well it could  be one of the two:
1- He is lazy and just wants to close the case, even if it meant arresting an innocent person.
2- He is in  with  the robbery.

@Tyler Durden Thank you very much for that link!

@Tyler Durden Thank you very much for that link!

@Arthena's Magick  Oh, a Canadian case, huh ...
Then I guess you're trying to infer that the cops here in America don't use such criminal tactics to get false confessions.
Keep supporting our broken police system.  Maybe you'll be Chief of 'Polease' one day.  😁

@Decency Counts as an american it is sweet to see how worked up you are about a canadian case of false arrest.

@Jesus Isn'tReal you mean prime minister. hamilton ontario is in canada.

@Decency Counts I should note that this list may not be in order since the number of flaws I had to point out is large enough to the point at which I just missed some, then went back over to get them. The space between the notes means I'm talking about a different comment you made.

- the tactics used were not illegal and an American supreme court case said that lying during interview is legal
- the "jail" system (correctly known as the prison system) is not run at a profit

- i think finding you would be a waste of time
- lawmakers get to make the law because their job is to make the law
- most cops or prosecutors actually lose their jobs, check the Andrew Mallard case and how those officers lost their jobs
- it's spelt "hanged" if it's related to the suspending of a person via a noose by the neck, hung is for other things
- so when a police officer makes a mistake and charges a person, and a prosecutor puts them in court, and a jury finds them guilty, and they're later exonerated (often due to honest mistakes) it's appropriate to kill government members? If that was to be law, the police wouldn't charge people with crimes out of fear of being the victim of a state-sponsored lynching

- police unions don't change the system, they generally just try to find more space in the place they're in so that they can police more effectively
- detectives get fired and demoted all the time, the officer in this case was demoted, meaning he was not untouchable
- I don't think you "take it in the rear" by the justice system

- cops can wreck a man's life, but only because they enforce the criminal justice system, who are really the ones who are wrecking a life
- detectives don't get a massive penalty because they made a mistake at their work. the stakes are higher, but things happen
- I have never heard of a case of police culture in which the police find locking a person up for a time as funny, typically it's something that isolates you from everyone else in the police

I get the feeling he is just a racists.<br>But i dont know XD

Picture the lack of involvement of the average worker in any field.<br>Now apply that to the average policeman.

Picture the lack of involvement of the average worker in any field.

@james alexander No explicit quota, but certainly if you extract a confession without evidence and are promoted, there is an implicit quota reward system.

@Steve Wynn  Exactly.  The damn system is so broken, it's beyond ridiculous.  Cops or detectives can wreck a man's life ... but after all done & said and the man turns out innocent ... the crap head detective gets a suspension, nothing more.  And then they take him out for beer, laugh about how funny it was that he threw an innocent man in jail for X years .....

Demoted and suspended? How about 3 days in GenPop of a level 4.

@Jesus Isn'tReal   I'm simply saying ... the police union has advocated for and changed the system so much that detectives are basically untouchable.  I don't know about you ... but i don't like taking it in the rear by the system as an American.

@Minyon Exactly how many bad cops are there?

@Minyon Exactly how many bad cops are there?

@Decency Counts systems are in place for a reason, the heart of the matter is a matter of the heart. And problem is the people on both sides that manipulate the system to fulfill the wickedness in their individual heart. Say i'm wrong or prove me right

@Decency Counts it's sad because this guy's should've never been a cop,  like a doctor who just wants Dr pay but don't care about ppl. This guy just wants power&prestige

@Emma i see what you're saying but i don't think that's the case here;
There's phony gangsters and phony cops. when you're legit, you're legit #iykyk

@james alexander eyo we should ask him "so why did you do it"

@james alexander eyo we should ask him "so why did you do it"

@james alexander you have to account that this behaviour is encouraged because of the bad policies. If policies were better, detectives wouldn't be so inclined to try to cater to the reward system they already implemented to get promotions and recognition.

@Themazeful kind of. Its definitely a feather in their cap to be able to get a confession. However, most police managers I have worked with would not consider a confession completely unsupported by evidence to be useful. The officer had no reason to pursue a confession when the call out description an eye witness accounts would have excluded the suspect immediately. As I said earlier, its just bad policing. There are many "poor" police practices we could discuss, but in this case I believe the problem was with the person and not any sort of policy or practice.

@james alexander no officially, but as detectives they're required to have an output just like any other jobs. Like it was mentioned in the video, getting the  a suspect to admit guilt if a crime without evidence is a point to get a promotion.

Not all jobs are supposed to be treated as jobs. That includes cops, military, and doctors.

@Zach Helm  I know .... but the problem is ... who authorized that in the first place??  Every American should protest that sh!t and make the lawmakers make it right.  I mean come on!

And get this:  when after all is done, and the locked up man is found innocent after spending mknths, years in jail, nothing happens to anyone responsible for that injustice.  If it was up to me, the cops responsible would be hung.

@Minyon  it's big business  ... the jail system.  They intentionally find ways to lock up innocent people.  And cops or the system  .... if you're pissed that I know the truth, come find me.

Corrupt cops.  That's the problem.  Cops using illegal tactics to get a false confession.  And get this:  THEY'RE REWARDED FOR SUCH "ACHIEVEMENT."  They're encouraged to use illegal tactics.  That's the problem.

@Minyon I assume they develop (or maybe already possessed) a sense of dissonance—they tend to deal with scumbags virtually 24/7 and that can get jading, especially when you have to watch them walk away over and over again due to a lack of or contaminated evidence.  The moment that occurs though, they need to leave the force because they can no longer hold themselves as the impartial bodies that their work <i>requires</i> them to be.

@james alexander you’re right , there isn’t a quota so wrong choice of words but they seem to feel the need to just arrest people and half do their jobs for whatever reason .. there are too many bad cops and these situations don’t need to be overlooked like they’re small incidents . These people should be fired

@Minyon No such quota exists for detectives. Sometimes a bad cop is just a bad cop, no circumstances to justify.

Seriously he’s disgusting .. that lack of effort and amount of arrests they want to meet ** just leads to innocent people going to jail


Being wrongfully accused of a criime is my biggest fear


Honestly so much pity for those falsely accused, and so angry at the system for putting them through this.


Dude

Never speak to the police without a lawyer, even if you're innocent.

Never speak to the police without a lawyer, even if you're innocent.

I agree. And I know it makes you look guilty but it is scary if you think they are trying to nail you.

@Mr. X Bro. They are saying that you can talk to the cops if you are the victim of the case. But if the cops accused you and you know that you are innocent, then don't talk to the cops and never say anything to the police without a lawyer. Proving your innocents should be done in court not in police interrogations because in a police interrogations, what you say will used against you in court.

@This Random Dude You should watch the Michael Drejka interview/interrogation. If he would've lawyered up he probably wouldn't have gotten in any trouble. It happened in Florida with very relaxed gun laws. He's serving 20 years for manslaughter because they systematically broke down everything he said to the detectives and used it all against him. In all honesty it wasn't a "justified shooting" in my opinion but with a slick mouthpiece at his side he could've walked.

@Mike G the ethnic dude was arrested did u not watch the video ? They didn’t volunteer for anything

@Mike G the ethnic dude was arrested did u not watch the video ? They didn’t volunteer for anything

@Javito remember the police wants to give u the feeling of being labelb guilty.  So dont talk without ur lawayer

If you can afford one. And don't even mention a public defender, they'll just try to convince you to take a plea deal.

@Mr. X because that term "will be used AGAINST you" means what it says. Anything you say to a police officer / investigator that could be used as your defense, wil ultimately remain discarded until YOUR lawyer obtains that information.

You need to understand something important, when you are arrested, you have just become a player in a very serious game. Only issue is, you have been raised to trust our judicial system, you've been tought by society that cops are the good guys. And they are, but only up until you are pitted against them in this game of absolute ridiculousness.

For Christ sakes, we look up to a grown ass adult who wears a black bath robe to work, where he plays with a tiny wooden mallet?? Plus the worst possible aspect of this game is that if there is no video evidence, no DNA, no figer prints, no actual evidence at all, your oponite, (the prosecution) will revert back to the worst, most unreliable sources possible. And the public will see these lie detector test results, or eye whiteness testimony, jail house snetches, shoe print analysis, clothing analysis, and many many more things we humans have used as long back as when we murdered people for witchcraft, as the most solid and daming evidence ever. Who needs to be positive when ole Beth Barns saw his silhouette jump the fence 4days before the crime ever took place, right? No, i mean we dont need to take a long hard look at how we run our society and judicial system, not at all, the only thing we update is our computers OS to ensure that we can store more ridiculously wacked out bullshit we call fact / reality.

@Javito attaining a lawyer won't convict you as guilty, saying something stupid will

@PoisonTheOgres I've seen the whole video like 4+ times and it is entertaining and informative, still I would talk to police to tell them I have an alibi.

@Mr. X You <i>have</i> to watch this lecture on youtube called "Don't talk to the police" by the Regent University school of law. It's amazing, and you'll never feel the need to talk to the police without a lawyer ever again.

@Mike G Micheal was not go there voluntarily he was arrested at gun point

@Mr. X that's not what they said, but sure, show us how you failed grade 3 reading comprehension.

you should report burglaries and stolen property if you want to, but don't expect cops to do anything for you once they get an arrest. they caught the criminal, that's all they care about

in cases where you are brought in for questioning due to being a witness, or even if a cop stops you on the street, that's when you don't speak unless you have a lawyer. if you're not being detained, in the USA at least, you have a right to silence. in my country, sadly you have to talk, but you can be protected from unrelated criminal charges in your testimonies, with certain exceptions.

any slip of words, any lack of alibi, and/or any conflicting evidence will make you a suspect, no matter how innocent you actually are. because they can and will use any information you say against you, and only against you.

@Kassassin Prawn In the USA you mean? Greatest country in the world!

@Kassassin Prawn In the USA you mean? Greatest country in the world!

@Kassassin Prawn So I shouldn't report a burglary because a cop could think I'm the perfect victim for closing his open cases? Don't be so jaded.

Especially if you are innocent. If you are guilty, there will invariably be more evidence. Which means you are more likely to be convicted with or without blabbing. If you don’t blab, aspects can be less clear, and all that. So don’t talk. But if you did, it would not necessarily change nearly as much as if there was no true proof because you are actually innocent. The point being if you are innocent the probability of good evidence is inherently lower. And if so, your silence protects you even better, because you aren’t helping them to construct any evidence or narratives based upon your testimony.

@Botond Hetyey I've seen that video many times and it's entertaining, but polemic and not to be taken at face value.

@Mr. X there is a talk by a lawyer on youtube, you can find it as "Don't ever talk to the police"

True. But if say a murder or rape of a loved one is at issue, you risk making them double down on you because you “Lawyered up.” and not going after the <b>real</b> perpetrator(s).

Unless you are rich enough to hire a genuinely competent and motivated private lawyer, the public defender will function as part of the prosecutor's office. A mediocre private attorney will take your house  to help you loose.

@Mr. X there was an unwritten assumption you are not the one reporting the crime. But given police only solve 13% of burglaries, talking then won't help much either.

@Jeremy Tines What if my home was burglarized?

@Stephen A Dude, if I can say 'I was at office at that time, and 10 people can testify', why would I pay 300 USD for a lawyer that can only tell them the exact same thing?

@Mr. X Is that a serious question? Because I know of a 17 minute video answering your exact question, genius.

This is bad advice. Never talk to police. There fixed.

@Mr. X If you say "I was with my girlfriend for 2 hours", and you were actually with her for 3, that's something they will use against you, and it will probably be enough to "prove" your guilt.

@Mr. X because they’re more concerned with closing the case than with catching the right person.

@My new channel yup. You have to actually state that you are using your right to remain silent and want to speak to a lawyer and then stfu or they can say your silence is an admission of guilt.

Lol. "Never speak to the police without a lawyer, even if you're innocent." Well lookie there.. "Don't Talk to the Police" video is suggested on the left.. It's a very eye opening explanation why you don't talk to the cops. Which is very surprising, because I would just want to clear my name.

@This Random Dude I would have to say your statement is 100 per cent correct.

@This Random Dude I would have to say your statement is 100 per cent correct.

@HauntingSpectre where did I say you should speak to police? Read my comments. I have comment d multiple times not to ever speak to police. Maybe your comment was meant for someone else?

@Mike G Even being arrested, you only have to give minimal details.

Even the Military taught us that. "If the media (or cops) ask you anything. You give them name, rank, and direct them to someone paid to speak to them.

You don't get paid to speak. So shut up and let the person who does do it".

Applies to cops too, except date of birth, address are also required. Wait till the attorney shows up to answer anything further.

@Dayspring “you thought because somebody goes in voluntarily that can’t or won’t be arrested “<br>Huh? Not at all. I commented that they should NEVER volunteer to go in..period. Why would you think that I thought that??

@Mike G Mistake number one. Never go with the police with out a Lawyer. I'm actually pretty pro-cop.
But it's common sense, many will lie. They are people too, or they are just so zealous and convinced they got their man. It also doesn't help that promotions can be heavily based on performance reviews that include number of people charged/arrested so it can incentivize bad people.

As soon as you are being questioned it's you versus them. No matter how good you think they may or may not be. It's smarter to have a witness, rather than battle it alone vs an entire police department.

@Mike G You really missed the part about him spending 3 1/2 days in jail didn't you? Maybe watch the actual video before commenting. Whether they went in voluntarily is inconsequential, when the cop says "we know you're guilty" (I'm paraphrasing) You immediately say "I want a lawyer", but if you're smart... you do it way before then, and I'm not just talking about this case. You don't leave your fate in the hands of a broken system and some cops you hope are decent human beings. You thought that because somebody goes in voluntarily, they can't or won't be arrested? That's a big ole facepalm.

It's good that you owned up to your error, but.... yikes.

@Midnight Video I rewatched this and you’re right. I was basing my comment on several other interrogations on this channel and assumed the same here. My bad.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE INNOCENT. NEVER TALK.<br>as many good officers there are, many police officers are just there to  blame it on the first person they find, close case and move on.

Actually, in France, you have right to a lawyer and a doctor, take both.
The lawyer won't do much, but that's anyway some relief, and maybe a bit of help.
Take the doctor too, even if you have nothing: then, if the police beats you or any other way harms you, they won't be able to pretend it happened before they got you (as you have a medical certificate stating you were ok).

@Midnight Video go to jail? Do you not understand that they haven’t been arrested ?

@Mr. X Because "Everything you say can and <b>WILL</b> be used against you" is an understatement. Off-hand remarks and accidental slips, even if they carry literally zero meaning to you can be stretched and interpreted in any way the prosecution/police wants. Lawyers are trained to avoid making these mistakes and are able to build you a nice and clean script that will ensure you don't give away anything that may be weaponized against you or incriminate you.

Some countries don’t even have the right to legal representation so you either have to pay for a lawyer yourself (which you may not be able to afford) or (where I live) qualify for legal aid and be given a lawyer. Otherwise you will remain unrepresented.

And these nitwits are volunteering to show up and talk.


Ironically this is exactly why i cant take alot of these interrogation psychology videos seriously. Detectives are just as stupid if not stupider than some of the suspects, especially when the person they're questioning is innocent.


the amount of relief I felt when they said the involved officers were demoted and suspended without pay. They make all cops look bad and I feel a little bit of faith in humanity restored.


I just want to say that im really happy to find this channel. You can learn so much about people's behavior this is cool 😎


I am so glad there was a happy ending to Michael’s story that detective is a pos. I feel for Justin though


Hearing the police officer lying to Micheal is the most frustrating thing ever. It brings me such joy that Micheal got paid and the Police Officers involved were demoted, as they absolutely should have been.

@Sext Empiric that would be the legislature. bad laws allow this abuse.

@lunachick613 88 Considering how absurdly different the description is from their "suspect" it makes you wonder which is worse: that they were racially profiling him, or that they were so lazy that they decided to frame the first person they saw.

Truthfulness ain’t in the job description.
Getting people to incriminate themselves is tho. Truth not required.

All they have to do is get you to court or in a cell and the financial weight of the justice system will handle the rest.

The cops involved should have been fired, at a minimum.

Eight years later, though! And he got out on bail, but was investigated for MONTHS. I'm surprised any of the people on the bus could recall anything about him by the time they actually got around to interviewing them, but they did and that's when they finally dropped him as a suspect.
And during those years at least one of the two officers had been promoted! AND he still maintained (in 2011) that Michael probably was guilty...
This is so not satisfying and it's like the best case scenario.
(For some worst case ones, see Serial season 3. It's so, so good.)

Ngl, they should have fired those officers and ban them from having a job.

Most people do not realize that police officers are incentivized financially on the basis of arrests and convictions.  Police departments determine promotion potential on the aforementioned principles.  Let's not forget that promotions generally equal higher pay, rank, and authority.  Meaning these incentives often times result in the corruption of justice.  On top of that public defender's receive thier salaries from the State which for all intents and purposes represents a conflict of interest between the defendant and the state.

@Dang Grimbus no one will ever serve the needs of the poor. Slavery still exists, you get paid money instead of food. But you still have to do something you don't want to do, for someone else's gain, just so you can feed your family. IT WILL NEVER CHANGE

@Dang Grimbus The prison industrial complex must be destroyed as well as the disbanding of police unions and qualified immunity.

Absolutely ridiculous that they don't face prosecution for their actions, given their power and position. This goes beyond incompetence or laziness, and it wasnt a mistake. It was malicious.

That cop needs to be fired. How many people took plea deals or went to jail because of his incompetence.

@Sam Scribner no, here in the USA as well. Sadly

I wish the cops had to serve the same time he did.

The phrase “implicit and overt biases” come to mind

@Roplex agreed those cops needs to be imprisoned FOR LIFE not only are they're not doing their job(his job is to keep people safe and arrest the real culprit but that is not what's happening here) they wasted valuable time that should be used into catching the culprit THE REAL CULPRIT and now the real culprit is probably still out there roaming freely and gets to do whatever the hell they want AND IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT honestly this world would be better off without people like them

@Roplex agreed those cops _needs_ to be imprisoned FOR LIFE not only are they're not doing their job(his job is to keep people safe and arrest the real culprit but that is *not* what's happening here) they wasted valuable time that should be used into catching the culprit THE REAL CULPRIT and now the real culprit is probably still out there roaming freely and gets to do whatever the hell they want *AND IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT* honestly this world would be better off without people like them

Those police officers should be send to prison for at minimun 10 years, anything below this isnt justice at all

They should have been imprisoned for twice as long as he tried to give that man

Demoted? They should have been investigated, lost their jobs, gone to court, and served years for this type of bullshit. I can guarantee this is not the first time they've engaged in that behavior, and it's not going to be the last.

I know, right? If there is something that makes me furious, it is false accusations or asking me to admit something I didn't do.

“Saw you on video camera”

NO THE FUCK YOU DID NOT

That malicious officer should be locked up

That cop should get the jail time they tried to give to him

They should have been fired. Workers in so many job fields would be fired on the spot for so much less. They get, relatively, very special treatment. For no reason whatsoever.

Now look up how many people this shit ends up happening to and ask yourself if cops manage to do shit this messed up THIS often, why it's imperative to defund them. Take the confidence away from them and make them work for the people while using the newly found money for social programs for better rehabs, better education systems and mental health resources.

Did you know that police are allowed to lie during interrogation?

Still deserved to be fired because how dafuq did you confuse the small white guy with a tall black guy?

@Roplex And their bosses twice longer, including ones at the top. If system sucks, the only way to fix is to cut the head off.

sadly, money will never be able to make up for what people like them have to go through

They should have been fired they clearly can't even read a criminals description!

Those cops should’ve been fired and imprisoned not demoted

It's still tremendously frustrating to me because nothing has remotely changed about the overall system. Those cops are still incentivized to be scumbags, and there is no real justice.

How many people are wrongfully imprisoned? Including people who are "Guilty" but only because laws are bs?
How long until we change society to meet the needs of the poor?

Fired is more like it, "small white man", how the fuck


Honestly, detectives like this should be held accountable by taking back the money they got for that case. Or charging a % of fine off their pay. A very satisfactory ending indeed.

Edit: because this is not a misunderstanding or a mistake of missing evidence, this is literally negligence of evidence.


This is so sad, how could the investigator say that he has CCTV footage when he actually does not have ?


This happened to me when my friend's neighbor's house was burged. Detective had me in interrogation for apx. 4 hours, telling me the evidence was"overwhelming" and almost there same bs, how it "wasn't about my guilt or innocence, but why I did it?".. LOL. I asked," am I being charged?, am I under arrest?, So then I'm free to go?".. When the Detective said I was free to go, I left. They wanted me to go a polygraph, I told them gfy's after the bs  harassment they spent all day spewing lies, trying to get me to admit to something I was innocent of. And intensely. They seriously tried getting me to take the fall for some idiot neighbor's nephew, who was found pawning some jewelry a few weeks later. From that day, I'll never talk to a moron detective without an attorney, regardless what for. Law enforcement couldn't care less for the general well-being of non-relative citizens/members of the community. Meaning, they will collude in abusing you, traumatizing you, disregarding your God given constitutional rights, and trying to secure false confessions. If you trust them, it means you're related to one and You're most likely a hypocrite and think you're better than everyone. Gross


Wow! So YouTube can allow for highly inappropriate and controversial videos to be uploaded and seen by any age group but something that is educational and elicits conversation gets deleted. I’m so confused, I feel like YouTube is ‘parenting’ it’s user. Let me decide if I want to watch these videos

Exactly. Sick of government and companies making decisions for me and banning stuff


God, imagine being this guy, turned his life around, working hard and a single person nearly ruined his entire life. 2 years lost for simply existing, unreal

@Mechros 😭😱🥶😓😫😤💔💔💔💔💔

@Mechros 😭😱🥶😓😫😤💔💔💔💔💔

@Jarret Berenson if youre talking to Leah Hall the likes are up to 45 now 🥶

@Leah Hall not what was said.
The vid said he was incarceratedwronfully for 2 yesrs for THIS, presumably awaiting trial, before itwasdetermined he'd bern deliberately falsely accused.
Maybe it's you who misunderstand.
And the45 others who approved the  confusion enough to hit like for your erroneous claim.

Why the constsnt ' turned his life around' preaching?   That phrase sounds conspicuous and shady.<br>Nobody deserves false imprisonment.

Why the constsnt ' turned his life around' preaching?   That phrase sounds conspicuous and shady.
Nobody deserves false imprisonment.

@Leah Hall "turned his life around" Yet he did mention this.

@Leah Hall Nope. He served time for a crime before but then he left it behind and became a hard working guy. After all that he was wrongfully imprisoned for 2 years for a crime he didn't commit.

@ZebraJess92 just like with “friendly fire” Their allies were more afraid of accidentally getting shot by the Americans than the Taliban and some refused to train with them without learning and implementing the same safety measures of the ally.

@ZebraJess92 lmao, the US is the most litigious society in history, if the US guy sued he can probably get millions.

@Cristina Florina He was blamed for another couple of murders right after filing the complaint.

@Milan Borizovski probably nothing if he didn’t mention it sadly, I wish he had an update for this one.

@Lord Sir Leah can go back to the kitchen if you go back to the garage

@Cristina Florina bruh how is that even legal

@Milan Borizovski
*SPOILER*
If you guys want to know how much he got instead, here it is...

$400,000.

@Milan Borizovski
**SPOILER**
If you guys want to know how much he got instead, here it is...

$400,000.

@ZebraJess92 Yes, but the case with Steven Avery in the documentary series "Making A Murderer"? He spent 18 YEARS in prison and proved innocent with help of DNA test. <br>He was supposed to get 36 million $ compensation for those 18 years. And what they did?...watch the series I don't want to ruin it, it is a must see.

@Leah Hall I don't think you actually watched the video Leah.

@Milan Borizovski well the other guy was from Canada. In the US that guy probably got an "ooopsie" and that's it.

@Nobody's Business I wonder how much money he got as compensation. The other guy got 46 000$ only for three days. If you get 46k$ for 3 days for wrong accusation then for 2 years you should get 11 193 333 $.

I think that you and 6 other people misunderstood....

@Leah Hall at the beginning of Justin’s segment he literally says “ he is unaware that he is about to be wrongfully imprisoned for just over two years”. So yes he lost two years of his life over nothing. Not counting the crime he committed and was rightfully imprisoned for in his early twenties.

i think you misunderstood. he served 2 years for a crime he DID do, then he turned his life around and was accused for this and was found innocent


How scary and heartbreaking is it that this actually happens more often then you think and people get wrongfully imprisonment when they are innocent 😔

So what are you gonna do about it? I'm not trying to take a shot at you btw I'm seriously asking. You obviously recognize that this is a problem, so I'm asking.. are you gonna try to stop it from happening again?


Glad to hear the ruling at the end. What a relief for this guy, and for regular people watching this.


This is so infuriating. Some of these detectives don’t care if you’re innocent or not, they see you as a criminal no matter what


I would like to see proof that this type of interrogation actually working because it's pretty aggravating watching law abiding citizens have to work through the verbal wizardry that is employed.  How many innocent people are behind bars just because a cop or a lawyer is incentivized to do this crap.


I almost cried when the white guy with the beard was talking about how he was working on improving and changing past behaviors, then freaking out when he realized he couldn’t do anything to convince them that they got the wrong guy. It’s like he was taking huge steps forward, only to be dragged back down.

@Abradolf Lincler i thought he probably was imprisoned  awaiting trial  during which the false accusation and his innocence  were exposed snd he was freed.

@C V what sucks is they probably have Nothing.  Certainly  not enough to begin to compensate for the  2 YEARS OF LIFE LOST  alone.

@Fuhgit7716 00 and if youre Not under arrest leave?

@zenithskull yeah, I heard it. I was just sharing what my reaction was when I first heard that particular part

@zenithskull I don't know for sure, but the video makes it sound as if he was wrongly imprisoned for 2 years and THEN was found to be innocent after appeals.

The judicial system in America doesn't believe in rehabilitation, only punishment. As a result, ex-cons are treated as criminals even after having served their sentence with a public mugshot database etc. making it very easy for anybody to punish you over and over for the mistake. Then because you can't get a job and have a hard time surviving you are slowly but surely dragged back into the life that you're trying to get away from.

idk if this led him back down but sadly he got arrested and sent back to prison after this for something else

@Subrina Fisher Especially in the USA. There is no "paying your debt". It is held over you forever. We see ourselves as advanced and progressive...but it is more like Puritan. Many innocent or nearly innocent person can get stitched up here easy. One goes through a process, and being it is a process, most simply assume it is justified. Often it is not.

That's exactly what happened, and that's exactly how the system is rigged.

For real. And to think he got dragged all the way to trial for some woman to lie on the stand. He should sue them for doing that to him.

Michael is such a gentleman. He carries himself well in a stressful situation. If it happens to me i would be the white guy 😂😂😂

“I used to be a piece of shit” we know we fucking know I used to be too

@Blitz_1337 The effort is never wasted, even if he is wrongfully treated, he is a better man and that's something that no one can take from him. It's always worth it to work on yourself

Same, I cried out when, in introducing him, it said he didn’t know he was about to be wrongfully imprisoned for 2 years.

There’s only two questions that should be asked. Am I under arrest? Or am I free to go? If you’re under arrest, ask for a lawyer.

It’s almost like all that effort to becoming a better person was for nothing

The prison industry preys on people and are funneled in by law enforcement. 2 years of his life in prison on someone's word, and his situation was relatively lucky.

It's messed up how police treat former felons. My bro in law has been to prison but has change completely. He has a great job, house, and takes care of his family. Whenever he sees certain police that have arrested him over several years ago they automatically stop him to try to catch him in something. It's crazy!!

I empathized with him too. My gut feeling was he was being truthful. He did not come across as someone who can be that evil to act that well.

I have a cousin who has been in and out of jail, has recently nearly died for overdosing, I have no idea where his life will go after he recovers, but I do hope nothing like this happens to him, not when he has at least taken the steps to become a better person.

@Lo TheGreat plus hes been to jail before so its even worse that they’re trying to send him back

Right! Straight from work to ya moms house, not you in prison cause somebody lied.

no lie💀 i could feel bros emotion through every single pixel on my screen


I can't even watch all of this, it's just too painful. These poor innocent people. I was able to watch the first one, and what a cocky cop.


JCS should make a video about the criminals who did everything they could to ruin this channel


Can’t believe he kept his cool that long!!! Very patient. He should have gotten more $$ and a Grammy


All detectives should have been investigated.  Every single one of their cases should have been reopened.


The saddest reality is that there's so many people who aren't as smart and well spoken as him who will crack and fall under pressure in this situation. Fire this detective immediately

One of the detective's directly involved was not fired, but has since been promoted.

One of the detective's directly involved was not fired, but has since been promoted.

He and two colleagues were fired but yes you’re right Michael was amazing and the fact that the witness described the suspect as White and Michael  Black seems pretty racist to me to be honest.

@ACORDA MÉDICO Thankyou for telling your story, now I have to be more aware on my surroundings. I can literally see myself being in your situation and would probably do the same thing because that's prolly the only best decision I could think when nervous.

@Erebus The military chain of command or the prison?

@Erebus The military chain of command or the prison?

@MrLoomian Impossible? Nothing is. I imply that I have an understanding of such things, and with this understanding, I can easily identify devices that simply cannot do what they purport.

I can promise you that the sort of understanding required to craft such a device will not be mainstream (it could already exist for all I know) for a very long time, if ever, not because it is impossible to develop, but because it would directly interfere with many of the established systems that attempt to detail the nature of the mind. Simply said, many people do not know what they are, they refuse to ask, and the efforts put toward finding a proper answer are either inadequate or misguided. They will continually find answers that are obviously inadequate, accepting them and the mechanisms designed around them, whilst turning a blind eye to the failures of those mechanisms that shall act as evidence of a mistaken understanding. The tools will not work, because the notions they are built upon are wrong, stupid, garbage, basically all the bad stuff.

Of course, I also recognize that one does not need a complex understanding to develop a tool that "works" for a task. Such a tool could be developed through trial and error, however, the effort required for the sake of such a brute-force tactic makes it exceedingly likely that a broken tool will be developed instead, with its shortcomings offset via bloated efforts to market the tool to customers. In many cases, this is innocent enough, but in the case of a tool that can ruin someone's life by failing, it is, imo, criminal.

Oh, but it's okay. This tool will only ruin someone's life 5% of the time. It still works.

@Brandon Merritt so your saying that developing a new method to tell if people are lying or not, is impossible? i can take a example, u know how cops find out if people are lying? they ask them loads of questions, and ask a few one or twize without the suspect realizing. then a different answer might come up

@DirtyDog3068 You're saying I'm like Larry from the crypto commercial? "The moon...It's too high!" 😆

No, flight is something that undeniably works, and the evidence is undeniable. However, I could convince you that flight is broken. All I need to do is identify a single negative impact that flight has on the world, and insist (or better yet, prove) that a better system of flight can be instituted---one that will avoid perceived pitfalls. Just like that, flight no longer "works" as is.

Whether or not anything works is determined by the criteria and expectations developed by a customer. A toaster that burns bread doesn't work for that customer. A leaky hose doesn't work for that customer. A weak vacuum cleaner doesn't work. Who are the customers of law enforcement, if not the communities served? They surely have a basic expectation that law enforcement officers meant to quell crime will not cause harm to law-abiding members of the community, yet, in the name of quelling crime, they often do just this. In the name of toasting bread, they burn it. It simply doesn't work. Any method or tool of policing that is found to adversely affect members of the community, is a defect. The evidence of this lies in consideration of better systems/tactics/tools that achieve the same outcome while avoiding the pitfalls. Failure to develop and use these tools (and thus, the continuation of dependence upon defective tools) is not a mark against law enforcement professions, rather, it is a mark against humanity, in my eyes. A red mark, and I am living in a world stained red! Everywhere I look, all I see are broken, defective systems and tools, and I wonder why they are broken. Why are they considered even remotely acceptable, especially in situations where the development of better tools does not require any great expenditure of funds, rather, a simple alteration of procedure? The stupidity we all live with, founded on a basis of frail proofs undermined by countless failures, supported by conservatives who see no evil and progressives who see no alternative, is, for me, a sea of fire, searing my mind, choking my will to exist, and making me unsympathetic toward the suffering of those around me. "Of course they are suffering!", I think. "The world is a mess, and they are all complicit in its continued state of disorder!" For it is not enough to despise what harms you. To be free of harm, you must despise harm itself. To be rid of it, we do not even need to actively seek to eradicate it. We simply need to refuse to accept it---not for the sake of convenience or cost! Not for the sake of safety or security! Not for the sake of any short-sighted victory. It requires no greater effort than saying "No." And I am not an asshat idealist who cannot accept or appreciate the achievements of a system that works most of the time to do incredible things. The world is full of incredible works! However, if it is indeed, harmful, do not celebrate it as an ideal thing. Celebrate it as what we have, while recognizing the need for improvement. In this way, the tools we use because they work "better" than the alternatives, can be readily recognized as broken, and subsequently replaced, when a *better* alternative is found.

But enough about me. How you doin?

@Mike G he didn’t volunteer though. He was falsely accused and arrested out of nowhere and forced into the interrogation room for questioning about a crime he never committed, and they kept him locked up at the station even though they had no evidence against him. Not only that, Dixon looks nothing like the described perpetrator. The police are absolutely at fault here

@Brandon Merritt You’re the kinda person who didn’t think human beings would ever be able to fly

Fire him? Lol he’ll get a slap on the wrist, a week or two paid administrative leave, and he’ll be back on the beat in no time.

honestly if i was him i would of been crying and screaming because i’m scared of polices and i would feel uncomfortable being in a room like that with a detective that would keep guilt tripping me into “telling the truth”.

@Noah Stephens and put them on lifetime surveillance

Arrest him, not fire. Guy like that only cares about himself and should be in prison.

@Brandon Merritt Youre studying men? Wtf

@Brandon Merritt Youre studying men? Wtf

not just that, the system leaves loop holes they can use to their advantage and noticeably use it against minorities. not all investigators are like this but that doesn’t change the fact that they have advantages so even if they were or weren’t like that they could be and get away with it

@Michał Krzyżanowski they’re not used in court, that’s illegal (because they’re useless)

But the cops come back in, say “you failed the lie detector, you might as well confess!” And after 10-15 hours of badgering, they wear you down.

This is why you don't talk to the police.

This is why you don't talk to the police.

@madtabby no, not really. In my country it's illegal to prove or disprove anything using them and it should be the same in your country too

@seraphale Like Chris Mconough did to teenager Michael Crowe and his friends.

There was actually a case like this where a guy was threatened by police into a false confession of murder, and did something like 10 years before new evidence came to light that it might actually have been someone else, but every time a new set of investigators asked him to tell the truth he wouldn't because he didn't understand the system and was scared of the possibility of the death penalty.

@ACORDA MÉDICO so how old u have to be for reading lessons in US? Because if I understood well - being 18 years old is still not enough for it :/

Like what Chris McDonough did to Michael Crowe and his friends.

Like what Chris McDonough did to Michael Crowe and his friends.

@Koolaid Man that is stupid. Most people can’t afford a private attorney and a court appointed lawyer damn sure isn’t taking your call. He would have sit in there for weeks had he not told his story. If you are innocent there is nothing wrong with sharing your story. So it can be checked and you be set free

Imagine someone with an IQ of 65 going through this☹.

Imagine someone with an IQ of 65 going through this☹.

@Loving life NO!! do not do that! You call your attorney FIRST and you tell your attorney your story and how you are innocent under privilege, and then you go into the office with the cop and the lawyer answers all the questions for you. DO NOT TALK TO THE COPS YOURSELF -- it is your lawyer's job to answer for you.

@Koolaid Man the problem with that is of this man didn’t talk and give his story how was the good cop ever gonna be able to verify it? I think it’s ok if you are innocent to tell your story and stick to it. Once you tell your story ask for attorney.

I agreee. I’ve had to go to court as a key witness to something. Just as a witness, being deeply interrogated by both sides was nerve wracking, starting with sworn statements and going to courts that kept going for a couple years. Even though I knew I was innocent, and I was telling the truth for someone else, that shit was not fun.

Makes me never want to deal with legal stuff again, I’ll just be like nope I saw nothing. I can’t imagine being the one accused. That guy who already went to prison before faced some scary stuff.

Put him in prison for all the combined sentences of the innocent people he locked up

Put him in prison for all the combined sentences of the innocent people he locked up

Happened to me when I was 18. I ended up spending almost 3 months in jail for a crime that not only did I not commit, the crime NEVER HAPPENED. My adopted father had just died, so I moved in with my prodigal (biological) dad. I quickly busted my stepmom cheating on him while he was at work. She kicked me out of the house and called the cops. Said I threatened to blow up the school (I'd been attending for what, maybe a month?!). This was RIGHT after Columbine, though, so the cops all had hard-ons to be heros.

@Joel Haye Not even a 'weak minded' person would admit to doing something that they did not do, no matter how much you claim you have them on video doing it, when they KNOW they did not do it.

This tactic only gets guilty people to confess because they think they were caught when in reality they were not.

Only week minded people Crack under pressure. How are you gonna let someone say you did something when you didnt...didn't.... especially if it involves going to jail. Couldn't be me

@Puddin Ok but this is my point. This is not an example of the justice system failing. This is an example of the justice system correcting an error and compensating someone who was incorrectly mistreated.

Funny thing is he was actually promoted sergent. The whole case had to go to court and the detective was adamant until the end that he had the right person. In the end Michael got a pay out of 45+ thousand dollars for the 3 days he spent in jail and the 9 months spent on curfew. That detective guy is a real C U Next Tuesday.

@ACORDA MÉDICO u kinda had it coming for signing random papers

@ACORDA MÉDICO u kinda had it coming for signing random papers

but but thats their bread n butter income, arresting innocent people and dumping them in jail

@chosenOne deprivation of liberty? How? He wasn’t detained against his will and volunteered to be interrogated when he was told he was free to leave at any time.

Arrest the detective for gross negligence, abuse of power, and deprivation of liberty. Minimum sentence  to be what the maximum sentence for suspect would have been. Don't need a trial as his 'innocence is not up for discussion' lol

Annnnd there's literally nothing I can do and its on my record for life now. Ill also add ive had no interations with police in 13 years because Im not a criminal.

@Koolaid Man this is sadly truth, and i respect the law still even as a max ex con. Probably because I was fucking innocent for my crime but I served my time. Not even making this shit up.

Hey, parents out there, you need to start teaching your kids from the time they are 15 years old -- do NOT talk to the police. Triple true if you are a black boy or black man, but even if you are white. If the cops call you in you IMMEDIATELY ask for a lawyer and say you will not speak without one. Period. You have no obligation to "help the cops out" and there are zillions of videos out there of cops using an innocent man's desire to help to falsely pin a crime on him. DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE.

did my military time aswell, theyre pathetic

did my military time aswell, theyre pathetic

Like me , my first job was in bus company and i was accused of stealing the money of the passengers.
And the HR called me and told me i was seen by the supervisor doing such thing,   i said i didn't do that and she said " c'mon man you has been seen by him , now assign here please " .
And i kept saying " i didn't do that "
And she said again " just sign please "

And i thought  " maybe if I don't assign they will fire me cuz I'm not obedient, i think it's better i respect them and keep my job , i don't care if they think i stole something cuz i know I'm innocent "
Then i assigned the sheet and I left the HR room and one man came to ask me and i said " oh , nothing! They are telling me that i was seen stealing the company but that's no true "
And he asked me " did u assign anything?"
I said " oh yeah but that's okay cuz i don't wanna they think I'm not obedient "
This man got crazy and he asked me " did you steal or not ? I said " i didn't do anything wrong "
And he still upset said " wtf did u assign the paper ? Are you stupid? Now you are confirming you stole the company "
In that moment my eyes opened and i thought " oh shit that's true "
I went to talk to my supervisor and i said " hey man listen, i assigned the paper but i did anything wrong.
He said " if u assigned you confess "
I became so sad 😞😥 and tried to talk to everyone that i could and i was fired without anything.
I was only 18 in that time .

Agreed, but i see them developing a new way to tell if someone are lying or not. probs gonna use some New methods in the future

Imagine a machine that could scan your brain, with inplants or Something. they could see which parts of the brain are active once they ask the suspect questions or smt


When stupid people can reach this level of the judicial system.........just shows how much work needs to be done<br>Why we don't have a mandatory IQ check and an ethics test is beyond me

My BEST professor did her doctoral dissertation on dishonesty detection.  Her research 100% proved that there is so much individual variance that it’s impossible to detect lying because there are no set standards that can be applied to everyone.

Although polygraph tests are used they were long ago refuted by courts because biometrics cannot determine what’s happening in someone’s mind.  Just being nervous, angry, sad, etc. can make one fail a polygraph!

@Zomby you’re correct- the inventor totally refuted it later

Didn’t the inventor of the polygraph say it was all bullshit later on in life? Or am I still thinking about the guy that coined the term “alpha wolf?”

@Brandon Massey hells yes brother- I learned how to pass them when I was a mere 15 year old shithead!!  I began by placing a thumbtack in my shoe under my big toe & pressing down during each answer, but then I learned it was far easier than that!.. I simply didn’t give a shit about the test. Passed 100%!

Exactly. I lied multiple times during a polygraph and passed easily.


Two different innocent guys, in similar situations. But the difference is huge: Justin is fed up of the system and totally lost trust in it since he had a recent bitter experience of having served a term in prison and now trying to gather his wits in order to start life afresh, with righteousness. So he's pissed off this time and expresses his frustration, anger and disregard towards the vile workings of the system, all at the same time. Michael respects the system and has a regard for it as an honorable citizen. On top of it, he is highly intelligent yet somewhat of an introvert. This is a bad surprise for him but his faith in his own innocence and the system is strong and so he sits there calm, collected and keeps a humble, respectful poise.
People like Michael are rare actually. Happy for him that he got his due and so did his interrogator and investigators.
But it's a sad story for Justin, who apparently wasn't compensated at the end of it all.
Never talk to cops without a lawyer on your side.

I think that I commented on this video sometime in the past, but I really want to reiterate how absolutely pissed I am at that first investigator, how decency wasn't afforded to the suspect, and how long he was kept from his responsibilities and life for literally no reason.

The alibi wasn't checked until they got someone completely different in? They mistaked a short white guy for a quite tall colored guy?

Yeah, his behavior there is completely abnormal. I'm quite an introvert myself, I really thrive in being alone and what not, but holy hell would I have UNLOADED on that invesitagor the moment he says "we have you on CCTV" because at that point, being completely innocent you know there's not a snowball's chance in hell that it's actually you in that video. I would've completely lost my cool, the second person who was wrongfully convicted for TWO YEARS would've looked like a mildly louder tone compared to how absolutely livid I'd be.

You're playing with my life, my freedom, and my future based on nothing? They didn't even bother to actually try and check? Wow.


I hate these detectives that prioritize their own careers over someone’s freedom

People will always value themselves over others / the collective. They’ll make compromises to further themselves, but they’ll ultimately be self-serving

And their possible careers this shit is crazy

And their possible careers this shit is crazy

I mean the sick thing is even when they get evidence that exonerates a person, typically the prosecutor fights the release, no matter what. There was a man who was convicted of rape and they finally did the rape kit 15 years later and there was three different kinds of semen and none of them was his. Then another person admitted to the crime, and the prosecutor still thought the release.

@pink I could have sworn I heard 2 years in county jail… if it was only 3 days then yeah I totally agree with you

@Frank 16:53 "he was kept in jail for 3 and a half days." I won't deny that those 3 and a half days were one of the worst days of his life, but he was compensated quite well. Though I do think they should've given him more.

@pink 43k for 2 years in prison? that's a slap in the face

I think they are only prioritizing the next time they get to eat a donut.

@aebalc you're writing all accounts but all they have to do is say I want a lawyer and don't say a word.

You should hate the system which makes a career depending on the amount of people you got into prison.

In the case of the first guy, blatantly lying to him and saying that they possess evidence that doesn't exist, the interrogator should be subject to criminal charges for causing severe distress to a person who is innocent. I don't see any reason why that should be legal.

@this account none needed if people have common sense.

@this account none needed if people have common sense.

Sometimes I wonder if there aren't more psychopaths in the criminal justice system than in the prisons...

@Mike Bolton damn chill man, nothing is as black and white as you say it is

@actualsurfer you just described all cops

@actualsurfer you just described all cops

Fantastic Lies on ESPN shows detectives doing that very thing.

there should be more incentive to get it right. maybe money or penalize detectives for wrongfully accusing people. ik it’s harsh but what’s worse is innocent people going to jail

@actualsurfer unlimited power is an overstatement

@Neez Duts All Nazis are Authoritarians but all Authoritarians are not Nazis. It’s an important distinction because it Obfuscates the truth.

@James W. Blatch Generalizing isn't going to help.

@James W. Blatch Generalizing isn't going to help.

Honestly, hearing they got suspended and demoted was the best 3 seconds of my life

While we should talk about the individual level to understand the situation this is a systemic issue that needs to be fixed at that level. More transparency,  more separation between judiciary and executive, more accountability for false convictions.

I am mad at detectives like this too but it´s not helpful fort actually fixing anything as long as the system not only allows this behavior but actually rewards it in some ways.

Precisely. The first detective is garbage at his job. It’s quite obvious that he is either a rookie, or just plain dumb. EVERYONE should know the “we have enough evidence on you” trick. It was so infuriating to watch him do such an awful job

@KGYeatman But it is the lawyers,  courts and legislatures that allow police to interview in this manner.  This is part of the reason for the current breakdown of trust in government and police. Police should:
1. in an interview only be allowed to tell the truth.
2. Not be allowed to steal from citizens (civil asset forfeiture without criminal conviction)
3. Have greater public oversight in  excessive force investigations (outside independent review)
4. Be personally liable for gross trampling of citizen rights (Adjustments to qualified immunity)

Perhaps with changes like these people would once again  believe that the police are public servants and on their side. I am a law abiding citizen and I have a deep distrust of the police - I dearly wish that my feelings were not justified.

Congrats, welcome to the world of commercialized justice. Police departments are paid for quick and efficient convictions, while defense attorneys are paid for quick and efficient trials. Both cops and lawyers are as invested in your guilt or innocence as a fast food chef is invested in how much you enjoy your fries.

How often are your fries soggy and undercooked, because it was simpler to pull them up 30 seconds early to save time? How often are they cold because they didn't bother to make fresh?

That's a two dollar side dish. Most detectives and defense attorneys are more invested in their fries than your future.

@Proxim_ oh sorry man, I thought you tagged me cus I got the notification!

@Vegimak of course they should. im just pointing out the slew of comments in this thread saying cops are out solely for their own gain and one commenter who went as far as to say “burn them”.

@Proxim_ not acab, but why shouldn't bad cops face the consequences of their actions?

I doubt they see it that way. I think a lot of police are taught that there are criminals everywhere and that they are the only ones who can protect society and that people are constantly trying to kill them. This is all untrue, but it makes them more aggressive and less empathetic.

@pink who says they won't do it again? They need to be fired, this is lives they're ruining. Actual innocent people.

But police getting fired or not getting hired somewhere else basically never happens

Don't forget about the prosecuters who do the same thing too. The more convictions they have the further they go.

That’s all cops and that’s the culture of law enforcement.

That’s all cops and that’s the culture of law enforcement.

I would call them pigs, but that would be an insult to real pigs.

The first detective was much, much worse: The second one was a bit more objective, but overall, police detectives are really, really shitty interrogators.

The worst part is he was only demoted. That means there's a cop somewhere out there looking to take REVENGE on 6'2" black guys just because he made a mistake (that almost cost someone else's life.)

He should be sweeping floors for the rest of his days. The detective clearly can't handle responsibility.

I mean michael got 43k out of it and the detective got demoted, so Im pretty satisfied with the outcome.

@J H As is true for anyone in a position of Authority. Police have unlimited power (they can take your life and are protected). Unlimited power demands INFINITE TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY.

They should be buried under the prison. They are worse people than most run of the mill criminal that they try and lock up.

@Stephen lawyers are different. Some are definitely sociopaths, others sometimes have to defend the guilty, or make cases against the innocent. That is their job and even the criminal has the right to an attorney under law.


This is beyond heartbreaking. The worst part that there’re so many people who never get exonerated or spend their life in prison…. It’s hard to comprehend


Saw this on Bruce Rivers CLR and found out about this channel, and I love it! I don't love that the investigator didn't investigate a damn thing, bother to get an accurate description of the suspect, and think he should lose his job.


“The investigating officer and 3 other investigators were all demoted and suspended.”

That is a wonderful thing to hear.

How you know it wasn’t the US, the cops for the other guy all got promotions

Innocent victim: goes to prison for 2 years<br>Police officers: get demoted & suspended. Yes, surely demoted to jobless or prisoners and surely suspended for 2 years. What if this is just one of the few people that were later exonerated? Given the incompetence presented, I would hardly be surprised if it has happened before or even worse, continues to happen

So used to one subject. This is an eye opener! Thank you for this channel.


My heart goes out for Justin. That’s a man that’s making a genuine change for the better and is watching his life be stripped away from him unjustly. It’s hard to watch

@Stukenny46 He didn’t say they were the same he said they were equally as bad

@Karolina Jarosz where is this coming from? can you give a link or something?

her boyfriend beat her up so to cover it up she accused Justin of breaking in and robbing and assaulting her. The boyfriend wasn't supposed to be around her already and she didn't want him to get in trouble again so she had to blame Justin of doing it.

@Jordan Ellington What about saying far right and far left? Many thing in life fall on a spectrum and being at extreme ends on a lot of things is unhealthy or good, so why only focus on one end?  Perhaps you have no interest in being considered a fair or even rational person, but if you do value those traits whatsoever you may want to think about the hypocrisy inherent in only thinking one side is part of a problem.  The far right, as bad as they may be, has much less of an interest in ruining this country than the far leftists who openly chant death to America.  Perhaps you are just trying to stir the pot, which is something someone ruining this country might be more inclined to do, just proving you are already no better than that which you hate.

@Karolina Jarosz can you give a link? cant find anything online

@Kristen Price it was later found out that he slept with candy and thats wjy her boyfriend hit her. They then blamed it on Justin. So yeah they werr more than just neighbourhood acquaintance. Also he stole her sons playstation.

@Jordan Ellington idk why people keep replying to a guy with the username I OFFER YOU THIS, like it’s pretty clear they’re a troll, guys, and probably a righty since they’re more common and often impersonate leftists to make them fight each other, and the troll even used racial stereotyping

@Sarah Ann Kronsberg I hope Justin found a sweet lady after they freed him.

@Jordan Ellington What does blue line mean?

@24fretsoffury Justin said that he never went out and only knew the guy from growing up with him.

Yeah dude i cringed phisically on that section of the video, its so hard to watch specially as we know now he was infact innocent. Its stuff like this that just makes a person worst instead of promoting change for the better.

@24fretsoffury nowhere does it even state he keeps bad company. He said he grew up with him, implying school/familial link, not personal or friend. In fact, it seems like he doesn't even like the guy, so quit making assumptions, like the detective did.

@I OFFER YOU THIS you are just as bad as the cops who falsely accused him

@Joey he was eventually found innocent of all charges

The little red haired girl from across the street

@I OFFER YOU THIS and how do you know he supports the thin blue line? Present your evidence please

same. it's literally painful to watch him get walked all over and wrongfully accused. hes just a guy trying to turn his life around and they're fucking up his life. it's making me angry sweat

@I OFFER YOU THIS You got shit on. <br>BOY

@Lea Felder wow ok.. the other guy didn't have to spend 2 years in jail for nothing.

@24fretsoffury WTF are you even talking about? Victim blaming, really? Those people were not his friends, just a guy he knew from living in the same town and growing up together.

I OFFER YOU THIS huh? Your comment doesn’t even correlate at all with this video

@I OFFER YOU THIS I find your offering wanting.

@Jordan Ellington Since when is Antifa,BLM or just outright Marxism "far right"?

@I OFFER YOU THIS I'm sorry this is happening to you.

I feel bad for all these dudes, but Justin hopefully learned to think about the company he keeps. Trying to turn your life around while keeping shady friends is not going to improve your lifestyle. It’s a hard lesson to learn, and he got the worst wake up call to it.

@Dylan McDermott Because Cops and Judges are 2 different instances (Executive and Judicative). You can hate both or only one.

@A Different Angle Oh there goes gravity.

@I OFFER YOU THIS How do you think a man who's been run through the wringer like that could maintain respect for law enforcement?
Because he has a beard?

Snap back to reality.

@I OFFER YOU THIS Where's this coming from?  The guy was in the penal system, is working to correct his life and make good with his future.  What in ANY of that leads you to believe he's a thinblue type?  You sound like you're jumping to conclusions based on biases.

I OFFER YOU THIS why do you think this? dude was in jail before, and got falsely accused and imprisoned later, why would he like cops?

@I OFFER YOU THIS wtf are you talking about? there is literally no evidence to suggest this is the case whatsoever, beyond your own stereotypes...just as bad as the cops in this vid man


The guy accused of robbing the jewelry store is one of the most calmest men I’ve seen in my life.


Wow I can’t believe that was handled so poorly, actual smooth brain cops running amuck. That dude has some serious patience


That Hamilton cop with an British accent could possibly be the worst cop ever! What a joke, lying is one thing but he is terrible at it and then just expects the innocent man to cave in and admit guilt..........


What a gentleman! Well spoken and rational. This makes me irate! LOVE that they got demoted! <br>I don't think someone wearing shorts and a white t-shirt would be breaking into a jewelry store????

@elmer garcia You're a lucky bastard. i've never been married but, 19 here, since I was 8 I've had extreme self esteem issues, etc. i hope you cherish it a little bit

@xTAARGUS Cop: You see, if he were not guilty, why would he be in the interrogation room?

@Katie Kat we didn’t need to hear about your relationship <br>Get a divorce, clearly it’s not working

@Katie Kat we didn’t need to hear about your relationship
Get a divorce, clearly it’s not working

@Lazar a lot of couples hate each other and stay together for financial reasosn, not because they understand each other. I dont know her specific reasons, but wanting to stay with him is the last thing I would think of. She even said she would be a little happy if he died because she doesnt want to be with him. It happens, its not necessarily that the other persons evil, they simply cant stand each other, and she would just love not living with him anymore.

@it's difficult to create a perfect nickname

Right?!?! She’s GUILTY!!

/s

They think everyone is a sociopath or something

@elmer garcia well, make better life choices then :)

its easy to find proof when you are looking where you want to find it

@Katie Kat You wouldn't fool us Mrs Kat, we already know you did it.

@Katie Kat why dont you just divorce him? Or better yet maybe try to mend yo r/ship?<br>Seems like atoxic existence, hopefully you both find asolution

@Katie Kat why dont you just divorce him? Or better yet maybe try to mend yo r/ship?
Seems like atoxic existence, hopefully you both find asolution

Meh, simply:
Report: "We're looking for a small caucasian"
Cop: "So you mean a random black on the street? Sure"

@Katie Kat I mean in some sense wouldn't that be proof of innocence? You wouldn't act happy if you murdered him upon being told he was dead, you would already know he was dead, so why would the news make you happy? There'd be a clear difference between telling someone who murdered someone the murdered person is dead and telling someone who'd be happy to hear the news that a certain person is dead that that person is dead. I'd expect someone who's guilty of murder to break into tears, or get shakey, hiding nerves as sorrow. I'd expect a black widow to act more like a grieving widow then a happy widow.

Calm? Must be guilty. Getting angry? Must be guilty. Acting confused? Must be guilty. It's sad but that's what happens when you have either inexperienced or just straight up stupid detectives/interrogaters, usually is due to lack of interrogation training, and lack of training is due to departments being defunded because "blue man bad". More money = more training = less of this

@Robert Nicholls Yeap, there is barely any constants in human behaviour, it's all super subjective. What she described does not sound like a hate to me at all, she is certainly expressing it that way, but it doesn't mean that. My guess is that they "hated" each other from the start, teased each other, spilled "bad" words and what not and that was their connection, their flirting. But that "joke" became a real thing, the thing they both believe in and thats totally fine, its just that she sounds a little insecure about it because examples of such a relationships are not very much heard of, so she is constantly reminded by the world that she is not "normal". There are some sociopathic tendencies in her words, but that's also ok, sociopaths are not that rare at all, its just another way of handling situations/emotions, but if she was a true sociopath, i very much doubt she would stay in something that is not benefiting her. No one is in relationship just to give, they also want something to receive, especially sociopaths.

@Lazar Good analysis, made me want to rethink my analysis (post) about her. Human beings are so complex man.

I like her honesty, not running away from how she actually feels, which is what most people do. They are honest about their hate for each other, which, to your point, is probably more healthy, now that I think about it.

Either way, she's going to jail if a lazy cop finds her husband dead.  : )

To put it in a nutshell "he looks guilty, because i want to believe he is guilty."

Same in the UK
Lawyers in England who put healthcare professionals in trial when all we've done is blow a flute ...
Glad he got compensation

@Katie Kat sincerely just asking to clarify, is he currently your husband, and do you live with him?

Well yeah, you’re guilty until proven innocent don’t let a cop try to convince you otherwise. Always contact a lawyer no matter what before talking to police.

man sits in interigation room
Police: He's guilty. Case closed.

*man sits in interigation room*
Police: He's guilty. Case closed.

@Beep Boop "He looks guilty, because he's too angry"

@Katie Kat you didn’t need to explain yourself “not being” so much. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully we can keep people from getting f married moving forward (the concept doesn’t make sense to me, I never grew up in church)

Actually what cops do, not just these shite ones.

@Katie Kat If its any consolation, I suffered verbal abuse and emotional neglect from my financially unstable alcoholic mother in a plethora of domestic arguments in my childhood.

@Katie Kat You are fine, but you are obviously looking for approval and acceptance because everyone saw you weird and "cold" whole your life. But you have your husband who is probably the same and you understand each other. Trust me, that understanding is stronger than any other hollywood love story bullshit. Not crying and reacting does not equal to not feeling, its just different way of processing emotions. Its easy to love the partner, what is hard is to hate them, but its also needed, and thats what most people forget about often. Love is not really just about loving.

@Katie Kat At this point it's better to have a divorce, because this sounds (mentally) unhealthy to live with a person (in your own words) hate. My father did the same with my mother "only for the kids" they stayed together but this is just toxic and it's better to go separate ways.

I know what you mean. A good example of something like this is if my husband died somehow and they thought it was murder and automatically were 100% positive it was me just because of my behavior. What I mean is, we hate each other and that's no secret to friends and family. But the thing is is when they show up to tell me he is dead I'm not going to be all sad and crying because again we hate each other. I don't wish him dead but if he had a heart attack or something I just might act a little happy to be finally rid of him. I know this sounds like I am a horrible person but I assure you my husband wouldn't care about me not being sad. If I dropped dead instead he would be super happy himself. Like we know neither of us would miss the other. And please get the right picture of our relationship. Although we loath each other it's not like we have this fighting and violent thing going. We really barely ever speak and yeah if we do talk we might insult or call the other one a bad name or something.

But, the point was that I could easily be falsely accused of murder if something ever happened to my husband just because I wouldn't have typical behavior of a wife losing her husband. When in fact I would never, ever murder him or anyone else because I have a fear of being in prison. I would never make it in a prison because I'm a wicked scaredy cat and in no way violent. I don't throw things or even slam a door when I'm super angry. It's just not how I process anger. I will say some really horrible stinging words that will get you irate. I know how to push buttons and get someone super mad and I think it's funny when I have that kind of power to get such a reaction just from my words. I'm really not this horrible person though I assure you. Honest.

@Dalton: "He looks guilty, let me pick a reason why" - Cops, probably


I think lying to a suspect during interrogation should get you punished as guilty of the crime they're accused of


“ Demoted and suspended without pay” that is exactly what they deserved

And they deserve prison time as well, ATVLEAT 3 DAYS AND A HALF. That guy will never forget those days.


i cant believe he deleted most of his videos the week i started binge watching them..


So Glad to hear that this guy got compensation this whole thing was a joke literally distrustful police as usual telling huge lies to try to trap the innocent person into looking guilty and eventually pleading guilty as the odds are stacked against you in s court of law.
It's a fact that juries tend to throw the guilty verdict it's a trait of human nature.
The officers involved should of been sacked not demoted.
