We finally organized the videos by state on our playlist page. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/@AuditTheAudit/playlists

If you're guilty, you need a lawyer. If you're innocent, you REALLY need a lawyer

I’ll never understand why it’s specifically legal for cops to “make mistakes”, be ignorant of the law, etc but not citizens. Why are citizens held to a higher standard than those who enforce the law?

The fact that the Lieutenant investigated and found nothing wrong has my blood boiling.

You can see the terror in that man's face, what a shame 😡

We really need to stop having cops investigate other cops.

They cleared him as a suspect and they still charged him. Think about that. He was there eating his lunch and minding his own business and wondering what he was going to do the rest of the day when all of a sudden, he was thrown in jail. And why? Because he wanted his rights intact. Disgusting, these cops.

The cops made another lifelong jaded enemy, meanwhile the bad guys got away…

A piano teacher? So this poor guy had more talent and knowledge in his mind/fingers than these cops could ever hope to achieve in their entire bodies?

When an officer says "He's being aggressive" when you're indeed not being aggressive, its time to fear for your life

It's becoming amazingly obvious that before the camera phone cops were violating citizens rights at will with absolutely no consequences.

"NO" THEY ATTACKED HIM, THEY SHOULD BE FIRED AND JAILED.

Qualified immunity must be abolished and tyrants must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity

Qualified Immunity needs to be removed for any civil rights violations .

Were gonna arrest you for something, then if it turns out you were innocent, we will just arrest you for something else. There is no such thing as innocent

Thank you for acknowledging how the officers were pulling him both directions when removing him from the car. When I first saw that, I was like "wooow, which way you want him to go dude?"

There is a robbery to investigate, let's take our time processing this random guy. Good work boys, another day of serving an protecting

Abolish qualified immunity. Abolish limits on civil suits against police officers. Abolish internal investigations.

We investigated ourselves and cleared ourselves of any wrongdoing

Spent 30 min with this guy while the real criminal made it home safe , then they had the nerve to still take him to jail

If people only knew how abusive cops used to be back in the 80’s 90’s back before cameras,

Every cop in that city showed up to “capture” the wrong guy, while the the real criminal goes free!! SMH!

They treated him like he was guilty from the start. When they realized that they were wrong, the pressed charges anyways. Pure evil 😈 . 😠 😡 👿 😤 🤬 😾

"I don't answer questions. I want a lawyer." It's good to hear this more often. People are learning.

The guy was basically just sitting there and cop says “he’s being aggressive.” Amazing!

i love how pulling him two different directions where the cops were playing tug of war with him is considered him resisting. modern law enforcement is a shame

I absolutely HATE the fact that police officers get to do this to people and not have to answer for it.

The biggest issue I have is even after they KNEW he wasn't the suspect that they illegally searched his car for a mask

Imagine getting arrested because a crime was committed half a mile away

If cops themselves had to pay for all these settlements they would quickly learn the law

A cop that is investigating another cop, they will always stick up for the cops.

1:46 That poor mans face....he is absolutely terrfied. And its 10000% justified. Wow. You can see the fear in his eyes. So distressing to watch let alone be in his shoes.

These cops knew he was not involved in the burglaries, this was about compliance!

Scary to think that stuff like this would put innocent people in jail for YEARS before body cams.

Eating lunch while black, in your car, in the park. "You match the description". Just absolute amazing overreach by this deputy. Not even one normal word of engagement. The deputy had already assumed this innocent guy to be the likely suspect without any legitimate observations to support it. Only the color of his skin.

Ill be honest, i cannot understand how you can remain so calm while making these videos. My blood boils everytime i see anything like this.

Gee, I can't imagine why a black man in the United States in 2021 would hesitate to give in to the aggressive demands of a pack of cops.

jesus christ. he literally starts to get out of the car, then the officer behind him pulls him back in the seat and wraps his arm around his arm while telling him to get out of the car. how the hell is he supposed to get out when he has an entire person wrapped around him?

How many burglers park up and stop for lunch instead of driving out of the area? Abolish qualified immunity NOW

What…? An innocent Jamaal is arrested and charged with usual BS charges…and then officers responsible are considered to have done a great job even though Jamaal was found not to be the suspect they wanted. They still detain him, then charge him for resisting, obstructing and disorderly conduct when they find he’s innocent party???? Thank you Ltnt Hoang for giving your citizens assurance that they are safe and will be treated fairly and objectively in such circumstances. DISGUSTING!!!

"We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong" every internal investigation ever

They wanted him to comply by taking him out the car while another guy is pulling him in the car, preventing him from getting out. Unbelievable

Imagine having a (unjust) criminal charge, which could land you in prison, dangling out there for almost an entire year. Imagine being denied employment because a background check shows an arrest & pending criminal charge. Imagine losing your job because of the arrest & criminal charge. Imagine losing custody of your kids because of it. All thanks to the documented gang members of LASD.

We investigated ourselves and found ourselves guilty of no wrongdoing

"We did nothing wrong, we did nothing wrong, we did nothing wrong. Omg please don't sue us, here have some money, just please don't take this to court." This clearly shows that they know they did something wrong.

Meanwhile while these 6 or 8 cops detain this citizen on a hunch, the real suspect is getting further away. Since the cops were wrong, they have to drum up some charges to cover their arses. Great policing

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, unless you're a cop. This is the definition of "qualified immunity." Always love when the department gets to investigate itself and, shockingly, finds nothing wrong.

It leaves one absolutely awe struck, how incompetent state officials are and how much their incompetence costs the taxpayer. What an abhorrent waste of resources.

We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing. Why settle the suit then?

While 6 patrol units and - at least - 10 or 12 officers are tied up detaining the obviously wrong individual, the actual suspect is doing a runner with no one looking for him...great use of police resources.

I wish citizens were offered the same latitude in behavior as the law enforcement officers

*"Resisting" claims should automatically turn in to a charge for the officers when they're clearly visible on camera pulling a stationary person in opposite directions at the same time. If they haven't even decided yet where they're trying to move the stationary person to yet then the only excuse to be touching them at all is if they're visibly trying to reach a weapon or an object that can't be seen and therefore could possibly be a gun.*

we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing. cops don’t become sociopaths sociopaths become cops.

Instead of going after actual criminals, these officers identify the most innocent person around and harass him, illegally detain/arrest him, illegally search his car, and file trumped up charges against him. Cowards.

Imagine being grossly mistaken for a crime and catching a charge due to office mistake

It's crazy to me that someone can be arrested when they aren't the ones who have committed a crime.

Cops saying, "we're recording you have nothing to worry about." Really isn't that comforting.

If you just did a robbery, you’re going to sit in your car in broad daylight and just eat lunch like nothing happened? Why can’t they think logically?

The tyrants investigated themselves and found no wrongdoing? How surprising.

16:11 He did NOT resist the officers physically. Both officers were pulling him from opposite directions. They manufactured a situation where no matter which officer he tried to comply with he would be opposing the other officer. This was a sick and wicked way to be able to accuse him of resisting arrest. It appears they've done this before. They did not hesitate, but knew exactly the moves they were making right from the start. That's why that second officer opened the passenger door.

If I was eating lunch and two armed men came into my car and started pulling me, I would freak out. This gentleman is so level headed for the situation

The departments support of the officers' actions in this event gives a clear signal they can do ANYTHING they want to ANYONE. Meanwhile, of course they needed to pile on false charges to justify this sickening behaviour.

You gotta love how they all say "its being recorded, we all have cameras" 🤦🏼‍♀️ yea no i want my own recording. Theirs always seem to be missing, deleted, edited, muted or cost you your first born son.

This is a work in progress. Nearly all these bullet points and their refinement have come from reader’s suggestions and criticisms. You are invited to suggest, criticize, and comment provided you are productive, helpful, and mature.

It's amazing how many times the department can find their officers did nothing wrong, but tax paying citizens still have to pay the hush money.

You can clearly tell two seconds into the encounter with this man he had no clue what you were talking about, and that he was innocent of anything you’re about to do to him

They make sure to say"dont resist "...

I had situation 6 years ago that’s likely out of stature of limitations. I got a panic phone call from a friend crying and saying she’s being arrested I asked where she was and went there. I get to school her son goes to and she’s standing in front with a guy . She’s in handcuffs behind her back! I ask him who are you and what’s going on , he says he’s a cop and he arrested her for wreckless driving! I called 911 I asked him for ID. Name snd badge number . I asked him if he was working plain clothes or off duty . He mumbled. Off duty and mumbled. But couldn’t make out whaf he said . Two officers in patrol car pull up and we talk and I say I think you should arrest him ! He handcuffed and arrested a woman for a traffic infraction that no one saw ! My friend is an attractive woman snd I noticed this guy was feeling her up ! She was cuffed ! I told cops to take cuffs off , they did ! They spoke to the guy and the police were puzzled . They told him we don’t arrest people for traffic infractions ! The police took his information but they didn’t arrest him as they should have . I think to late to file lawsuit

The "internal" investigation itself needs to be investigated. Should have been done by an outside and impartial agency

Cops don't become psychopaths, Psychopaths become cops.

Qualified immunity is a carte Blanche pass for police officers to act outside the constitution and behave as if there are no consequences for their unprofessionalism or poor investigative skills. There’s been so many instances of false accusations, illegal detentions and malicious prosecutions just because police know full well they have almost blanket immunity from being held to account for their illegal and unconstitutional actions. If however QI was ended, police would be forced to act within the law at all times, producing more professionalism, proper consideration to any situation and a much fairer application of law enforcement. Why this crucial aspect of policing isn’t being demanded by the public is one of the biggest travesty’s of justice in society these days, as it would benefit everyone apart from crooked, tyrannical police officers, OUTRAGEOUS!

This is brutal evil behavior by two men with too much authority for their intelligence.

Unacceptable. The police are an absolute disgrace.

A few months ago I really thought that if I haven’t done anything wrong, I didn’t have to worry that much about the police. Then I started watching this and other channels like Lackluster, etc. My view has changed drastically.

Insane to search the vehicle AFTER the cops are on camera acknowledging this was not the burglary suspect. How can they justify the legality of said search!?

"Sir, you are being arrested for being black. I have no ability to distinguish between any two black people. If you were a 75 year old woman, I would still be arresting you for being a 20 year old male."

There’s not one situation that a cop can’t make worse. Nothing like minding your business and getting harassed.

4:44 Dude was complying and getting out until he heard "he's being aggressive" you could see the shock, confusion and fear in his eyes as he sits back down.

There was absolutely nothing lawful about this stop. This is yet another reason I exercise ALL of my inalienable rights! Officers tend to not go hands on unlawfully…

California is nuts, I moved to Texas as soon as I figured out that Cali was insane! Leadership is absolutely to blame.

It should be illegal to arrest someone on resisting arrest or other bogus charges after it was determined that they were not the individual in question.

Dude...why do we honestly need all these officers for this one person???

LOCK YOUR DOORS! Many cars automatically unlock the doors when you put it in Park. You can usually change that setting. Look at your owners manual or on the web.

When will an officer be proven unfit to investigate anything, and therefore not capable of beeing å police officer.

Imagine the stress of having potentially 1 year in jail and $10k fine hanging over your head for a year. Even totally innocent people cave and plead guilty or no contest to a much lesser charge for community service while still paying $$$ to the courts and basically eliminating their ability to sue.

“We’re all recording, we all have cameras…” says the cop.. Recordings that can be turned off, physically covered with our hands and recordings that can be lost or withheld from the public at our direction….

How dare you? You would hate to be treated the way YOU treated this man!

9:01 the most telling and confirmation of the readiness of these LEO's is when asked a question the Citizen invokes his Right to silence and a Deputy responds " okay that makes it easier ". His Internal Affairs department needs him to explain that declaration because to this violated Citizen and me it sounds like invoking your rights means you open yourself up to further abuses of power. And that's just sad.

Hard to exit the vehicle when one office is pulling you out and the other is pulling you back in.

Basic human psychology is to pull away when someone lays their hands on them. Yet cops routinely use this as an argument that a suspect was resist arrest.

Those cops should be fired never to return to law enforcement. They also need to serve about a year in jail.

The cops were chasing a burglary suspect who apparently escaped on foot, yet this innocent man is sitting in his *car* ? That alone wards off any suspicion what so ever! And watching that female cop hog tying the guys legs together was completely unjustified! Searching his car without just cause is inexcusable. Not being able to differentiate that the guy they trespassed on did not have the same clothing nor physical description as the person they were looking for? Sheer incompetence! He sued? Good for him! Under all of the circumstances of what the cops did? That should disqualify their immunity status, and charges should be pressed against these tyrants! Pathetic!

No one who lives in Southern California is surprised by LASD and their acts. One of the worst departments in the country.

These cops unnecessarily escalated this encounter. Keep your doors locked!

It's ridiculous that they justify to themselves automatically detaining any black man within a half mile radiius (often wider) just because some other black mam committed a crime. They're not out here detaining all the white women in a half mile radius when a white woman commits a crime.

We're ALL guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of the law!

Any IA officer or police board official who determines "Officers were justified" should be included as defendants if the issue goes to court. Things have got to change.

They always want to charge you with "resisting arrest" and "obstruction of justice" or "disorderly conduct" or "failure to ID" but what did they do to get those charges to begin with because they weren't charged with anything else but those things.

Pulling someone out of their vehicle is never de-escalating anything at any time anywhere.

He follows the description of a suspect because he is black first crime is racism opening the doors of the car second crime forcing him out of the car third crime these criminals in uniform with deadly weapons should be arrested immediately and spend at least 10 years in jail. All the criminals in uniform in this video should be arrested fired and thrown in jail for abusing their oath of office. They should all be sued on a personal basis for everything they own.
