Don't act like your some special good guy cop, your all part of the same corrupt club,. How many bad cops did you bust n put in jail, private??

Sadly as I near retirement, I too have seen a lack of common sense in the workforce...and a lack of work ethics too.

@@mky9227- And how long were you incarcerated? The bitterness has stayed with you. Sending prayers your way. 🙏🏻

@@kristineguetschow9134 I m military, we serve with honor n conviction, these cop sissies care for nothing but themselves n their pensions. And??

Unfortunately every town has a Barney Fife. At least you got it mowed.

Agree 100% go complain to his supervisor, your not looting the place (and I don’t imagine there’s much worth looting) I’m sure every neighbor in that community would have loved you to complete that job. Police have the ability or should to use common sense, your clearly doing no harm, your doing a good thing, sounds like that cop in your town doesn’t have enough to do and is just bored, and he’s also not thinking about all the other people in your community that have to live near or look at that overgrown lot. And the owner may very well appreciate your effort, maybe they are elderly, or Sick or both, clearly they can’t maintain their lot. How many notices were on that property for code enforcement violations, probably none as bylaw or law enforcement whoever does that in Florida (I don’t know I don’t live there) obviously doesn’t care what the lot looks like. For that cop to kick you off the property for doing a good thing, not only for the property owner but for the rest of the neighborhood, it’s not hard to see you were doing a good thing, and not a threat to the home owner’s property whatsoever. I would definitely complain to his supervisor (hopefully it’s not such a small town that he is the only supervisor you could complain too) I also think usually in small towns and community’s if he is the top official, than that is likely an elected position and in that case I’d talk to the news I’d make this public, so the rest of the town can see what type of person they have elected, and maybe they won’t make that mistake again.

Robert, you aren't even close. That FUKING PIG needs to be covered with ticks and RED FIRE ANTS!! Most people would die under these circumstances. NO NO NO, the ticks only shit on the pig and the ants, they did more if the same. They were discussing how foul pigs are. The coyotes, only took 1 bite and left the scene!! Pigs will be pigs!!

and if i can ad to that now that the house is visible the owner wont hopefully have squatters or brackins and that sign now also visible.

@@honda200twinstar3 good point, pretty sure I saw some of the back windows open already, so someone’s either already squatting in there, and if not certainly animals would have gotten in there. I can just imagine what the inside looks like with open windows in the Florida humidity the almost daily rain storms. That will likely be a home that needs to be bulldozed. Such nonsense for that cop to kick him off the property when he’s trying to help, yeah he might make a lil money off the you tube videos but he’s still helping the rest of the neighbors who live around there. I really hope that he complains, if that’s a possibility not sure how small that town is, if it is that small and he’s an elected sheriff than just going public May be enough for the town to vote someone else in as sheriff next time elections come around.

@@Rpm6971 Well said. He does (the cop) needs to be reported.

Yes, I’ve run into that many times. I did not put up with it in the men and women that served under me when I was in the USMC and I don’t put up with it in the men and women that serve under me as Deputies and Sergeants in the Sheriff’s Department.

maybe they should hire cops to not enforce the laws would that satisfy you?

Bingo

W.L. Richardson, it's people like you that can make a gaint difference in a small town, big city! How did it get soo bad, SIR, respect respect? Is there ANYTHING, any insight to how to get the TRUST, and the 'good cops' back into people's lives? Right now probably less than 30% trust the police. I trust SOME cops, but as a hole, can't seem to wrap my head around the "WHY" cops are now scared for their own lives instead of PROTECT & SERVE the public FIRST!! I think officer saftey for themselves, first hamper serving the public! They make you sit on the ground, fat chance!! No thank you I'll stand, b 4 you know it you are under arrest and on the ground. When that happened to me, cop forced me down, I did the same exact same thing to him. I BEAT IT IN COURT, + All my expenses, + $5300! Insight please!!

Thats fine for you but who wants to waste a day in court for this nonsense just to make a point.. He did the right thing by just leaving. If the neighbirs want something done about it, they can attend the next city council meeting and complain. Your "big ass smile" means nothing.

i was wondering about that... how does the officer know that isnt a paid job by the owner? does he patrol the city stopping landscaping crews? must be pretty low crime if he has time to do that

@@PopePlatinumBeats Or is the cop protecting a home used for illegal purposes.

The cop has absolutely NO common sense.

Back the blue whatever they do . THEY could've been robbers for all he knew. BTW, you don't go on anyone's property without permission.

​@@artaxerxes2363no go to north Korea

This answer sounds like the right one. Always about the money

This comment is exactly on point.

They probably don't collect on the fines if it's an abandoned property. Don't understand why people don't sell them instead of just letting them sit there and rot away.

Be sure to tell them that the cop was doing what he was paid to do and not deciding to ignore the fact that the man was trespassing.

@@jinov191 Absolute Bullshit....since there was no owner or other person of authority on hand (obviously for MANY years) to press charges of trespassing, that cop had ZERO authority in this matter.

I think a bit of You Tube has gone to yours.

The cop was all for it getting cut , now you see how people can misinterpret things

@@jameshoward1215 The cop couldn't care less if it got cut or not. He's just another power-hungry thug who thinks his clown costume and that stupid piece of tin that's pinned to it, give him the authority to control the universe. This is why they are hated all around the country. This type of behavior that is condoned by the rest of the thugs in the department I'll bet that not a single cop in the station house even mentions to him that he's a tyrant.! They all think the same way. They all think they are superior to us mere mortals. Great job douche bag, keep earning the hate.

How can you say the Cop was ‘all for cutting the property’? If he was all for cutting he’d of said; I’m going to lunch now and I’ll be back by in about 3 hrs. If you’re still here I’ll have to ticket you.’ But no, he made him get up and leave right now!!

The left over covid cop!! Jerk

I back the blue whatever they do.

​@artaxerxes2363 and that is very sad and tells alot about you

So because his heart's in the right place. It's okay to break, even though he originally didn't see the sign, the law or choose which laws to obey? Do we all get that right?

.. and before you think I'm heartless ... I thought the guy was stand up member of his community, a Philistine maybe, but a stand up guy.

Nothin the police can make worse...

I stopped helping strangers' years ago. It's just not worth the hassle. I don't ask for help from strangers, and I don't give any help to strangers. It's not my problem.

Thank you for your service to others. God bless you.

Sad thing is there are more of us that do good schtuff for the pure sake of doing the right thing but lawers and lawmakers have corrupted our system so much that we live in fear to do something nice

wether the cop did or did not appreciate what he was doing does not change the fact he was doing something illegal.

Only issue with this approach is they could escalate the situation and end up in jail with charges or even worse. That said that would be the ideal thing to do or just a silly thought have a remote controlled mower😊

@jasonthorogood nothing you do or don't do can prevent an egotistical cop from doing whatever he/she wants to. If you slow or reluctant to speak, it's suspicious. If you talking too much and forthcoming, it's suspicious. So if they arrest you for being silent, they probably was gonna do that regardless. At least you have given your lawyer the best chance to fight charges. Never assist a cop investigate yourself. Let them do their job, and the chips fall where they may.

@@noquestionabaudit Good advice, I’ve had a few challenging encounters with cops

It could be himself or a family member who gets paid (overpaid more likely) to do shoddy jobs cutting these properties. Very suspect.

I was just getting ready to say just that. There’s $$ in there

That makes sense. I was thinking that Mr. Fife was trying to buy the house at a lower price because of the overall appearance...

Trashy yards violate most City "clean yard" ordinances, but even more importantly, failure to enforce those laws results in lower property values in the neighborhood, which lowers tax revenue, which reduces the money available to pay the Barney Fifes on the payroll to ride around and harass people. Property-owning neighbors, who don't like the City's refusal to require people to keep their property minimally clean, will ultimately decide to move out of town to avoid the rats and snakes living on that property and the crime caused by drug dealers and addicts attracted to overgrown, abandoned property, and in order to be free from petty tyrants like the Barney Fife in this video. The sign appears to pre-date the abandonment of the property, and it is the lawful owner who would have to testify in Court about his or her ownership, the reason for their failure to maintain the property, and their current desire to enforce an ancient "no trespassing" sign, which may or may not be what they want. If City taxes haven't been paid on it, the City may actually own the property through its tax lien, and be responsible for maintaining it in accordance with City and State law. If our host has a lawyer buddy, that lawyer could get to the bottom of the ownership and maintenance issues in less than an hour.

yycguy: I was about to say much the same thing! If he cuts the yard, then the city cannot go after the owner & fine them bloodless!

Also rats and other pest animals but who knew cutting tall grass also attracts pigs.

Had he gotten hurt on their property, the owners of the property could have been liable for his injuries. That's why they have a sign posted. Had the cop allowed him to continue cutting and he would have gotten hurt, the property owners would have wanted to know why the cop did not do his duty. Having said that, I bet the city will send workers to the property and cut it and then charge the homeowners without having permission to be on the property.

@@michaelsteiner7588 He seems to understand the liability aspect and decided to cut it anyway. I the city plans are sending someone to cut it wouldn't they be subject to the same liability aspect because the city would need permission from the owner. If the city was going to cut it they would have done it before the weeds grew 6ft tall.

Considering there were swing sets and kids living next door. The critters can come out and bite with grass that high.

@@michaelsteiner7588if the city has not sent anyone out yet, the chances of them sending anyone out ever are slim to none. They are more interested in collecting fines over public safety. This hurts someone’s pocketbook, guaranteed. Probably to big, fat, man hating female running the ersatz “homeowners association.” If you don’t hit them hard the first time they try to railroad you, you are up for a world of hurt.

When you make excuses for the police you are just aiding their criminality.

Yup fire that power tripping ass hat before he ruins it for good officers in that area.

This cop just wanted to feel like he was powerful and could control other people.

OTOH, the neighbours could have pitched in and kept the weeds from going so high. Looks like the neighbours did NOT care about the property.

​@@jayjaynella4539 Remember the property does have a no trespassing sign on it. Surely the county has records of who owns the property. The owners could be contacted and asked if they would give permission to have it mowed.

​@@jayjaynella4539they don't have time. The cops like finning the owner. It makes the town money

im sure they get him back to finish the job & get the cops off his back

FACT1!

This is why the entire country hates policy enforcers

Yup! Ain't no wonder that a lot of people wanted to defund them, back about 3-3 1/2 Years Ago. All it takes, is one bad, know-it-all "Cop", to destroy a lot of trust between the Police, and the Citizens of our Nation.. and even, of our World! I noticed that he called that "Cop" a "Barney Fife". He's right on that point, too. Nobody needs to deal with a "Legalized" Barney Fife! They're no good to the Community...or to themselves!!!

Cop was doing his job because you dont have a right to come on someones property and take it on yourself to pretty up somebody elses yard

Cop wasn't doing his job unless the owner called the police. Next time, call the county to report a blight property, and then maybe offer the owner a free mow.

He is a great man

@@NarbsWorldTV I would imagine that they tell you that it’s illegal to break the law.

County greed. The state wants the property.

He only did it for views on KZfaq. You can't be that dumb not to know that.

to be honest he still gets payed well when doing it for free depending on how many views the video gets and how many people were watching the ads during the video. i was looking this up the other day, and apparently a youtuber earns 5 cents per view, so long as the youtuber is averaging over 1,000 views per video and getting youtube adsense. so if they make millions of views on one video, they can make a pretty good sum of $ on that videos views, but they can only do this so often because only some videos get this many views, so don't quit your day job just yet lol. now if they were also an influential youtuber who did commentary kind of content talking about something people could be interested in listening to and were influential enough to gain more attention to each and every video, they could make a shit load per video if they consistently get millions of views per video. but most can't do this, so they typically choose to build their following and only offering their services for free once per week or month, if they can afford to do so, i'm thinking of maybe getting my brother into doing something like this for his tile setting company, if he had a good following and just stuck with the work and didn't get into any politics, he could not only get more customer's for his business, but he could make a little extra on the side with the youtube channel.

@user-tp5yb4hr4w so basically you're proving my point. I don't have anything against what he's doing, it's just the other comments of how nice he is for doing it.

@@artaxerxes2363 interesting, your comment was actually hidden from me so i never saw your comment. but if this is along the lines of what you said, then yes i would be agreeing with you, again i still can't see your other comment, youtube likes to hide comments for whatever reason because youtube is stupid that way sometimes. i mean he's still a nice person for doing this for sure, it's just it's not all out of pure generosity is what i'm saying, another example was a tv show that was on tv roughly 15 years ago, the show was all about building houses for people in need for free, for people who worked but fell on hard times and needed help, well they had this crew who would build houses for these people to live within, and the reason why this show was able to afford this in the first place was they were funded by the views and the ads shown on tv. so it was still a good and generous thing to do for these people, but they made well over the enough money doing this show by the ratings and the ads playing on the videos so they could afford it very well each and every time no problem, i wish i could remember the name of the show, but it was too long ago. but it is a good business model for charity because everything is suddenly more affordable doing it this way. i wonder if they need to do something like this for free clinics for people and just make a youtube channel out of this deal, the people getting the help they need might have to consent to the video filming them maybe blur out their faces and voices somewhat, but i could see this helping the funding for free hospital clinics as well and allow some better coverage for people, it's too bad to many hospitals care more about money than the people they treat to much businesses are only motivated by money to the extent where they are viewed by regular people as evil, i know a lot of people who don't trust doctors for this very reason, so they will stay away from them because the vast majority only care about money and will do things to keep people sick or do things that require more visits which makes the doctors and hospitals more money, it's really creepy for a business that is all about saving lives and doing no harm. anyway, sorry this was a little long.

@user-tp5yb4hr4w wow you tube's playing games huh.

and fewer people like this so-called "cop."

Correct me if I am wrong but at some point the city is going to issue a citation to the homeowners for a nuisance violation because their yard/grass/weeds are over a certain height. Whether or not he has the homeowners approval it certainly saved the homeowner time or money depending on who cuts it. Not sure I follow the logic of the police officer but I am sure that some suit happy individual or lawyer will find some fault for trying to help your fellow man!

If you got hurt while trespassing who would be at fault. Certainly not the home owner.

@@jeffsmith5561 It's not outside the realm of possibility that this cop knows that the city is about to fine the property owner and he doesn't want the city to lose that money. Let's remember, some cops are there to collect revenue for the entity they work for. I wonder if the neighbors would file a complaint against this moronic thug. If I was a neighbor, I certainly would.

​@@helenfitch3440 thats what you got from this. Wow!

You call a person who took his personal time, equipment depreciation and loss of revenue to HELP an indivdual with their yard a moronic thug?...... what do you call people who are organ donors....Killers, give blood, volunteer at homeless shelters?It's certainly your right to say what you want but I respectfully disagree with you. And typically, police are not out collecting for code enforcement violations that is handled by another department within the city. Should the homeowner never cut his yard then liens are filed against the property and collected by the city when the property is sold or if the homeowner refinances their property.

That is just sickening! The police are to serve and protect, not undercut homeowner and betray! Wherever you live I hope they are called out for their real estate racket. It’s seems almost criminal to me! Could you write a letter to the editor of your local paper? Let others know!

Wonder if you took a picture of the place and took it to the city mayor. If he could get it okayed for you to cut. It sure is beyond being neglected. Fire hazard? Some city's post violation notices of needing cleanup. If not done within a certain amount of days, the owners get a hefty fine. Looks real nice what you did do. Definitely needs alot more care. 👍👍

Yep. A phone call to headquarters would/should give permission to clean up yard especially if city has had to do it in the past.

Here's my question. Who was so put off by this guy mowing a lawn that they called a cop to come and stop him.?? One would think that the neighbors would appreciate the effort to keep their street looking good.

They are not there to "Serve or Protect" that was a slogan that came from an advertising agency. Their job is to investigate crimes and enforce the laws put forth by the local government. The officer is doing his job the property is posted. Just think if he let or told him go ahead and finish the job and he gets hurt, the Town/City can now be liable do to the officer overstepping or failure to enforce the law.

That cop never had any intention of letting him finish. His goal was to interfere. He saw a chance to flex his supposed authority and did so.

Maybe the cop could have looked up the owner and give him the contact info. Probably owed by the bank

@@robsanchez5742 maybe the guy should have done a simple search and got permission first.
