He probably had a side badge😉

Please address the Mayor by his correct title. ‘Lt, Colonel, Chief, Commander, king and master of all he surveys.’ 😂

@@JAY1892 🤣😅

No doubt!

Right!

IKR Jeremy after watching this video. SIR SIR get me one of them badges.

He doesn't need it. He's already "State Certified".

😄🤣😄🤣😄🤣 I'm surprised J.D wasn't the Mayor lmaooo

Yes the ole Dweittster and his Florida statue

Damn you’re right🤣

No courage.

Agreed !!" Yes I guess it would bother me". The Mayor. You guess!! Where did this money go?

The Mayor is as guilty, YES. Power, Badges, and Guns.

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the mayor might see this

What can the mayor do if there is no actual police,will you 1 single person tell the crazy wielding gun people no?

ATF. Same thing happened in Oakley, MI and the chief there got raided back in 2017.

They mentioned at the end of the video that it did.

The fbi is a useless and redundant agency that is often is hacked or agents bought by cartels. There is already agencies that do what they do and do it better. States need to spend the money and build their own labs cuz is the long run its cheaper.

One would think so , and a bit of jail time per person would cover it pretty well.

🤦🏽‍♀️no one ever listens to the whole video. Or listens, period. They covered this.

If the county or state sends law enforcement officers, they might notice a few things that locals didn’t want noticed.🤔

How did the city make money? The $400 fee went to the lawyer (which is messed up).

There’s literally nothing wrong with this. The media just wants something to complain about. I wish my city had all these guys. Lake Arthur is the most protected city in the world. And yes, they want to carry concealed. Also, nothing wrong with that.

@@morninglift1253 I am sure most of that money went to the village. The attorney probably kept a small processing fee to cover his costs.

@@mharris5047 What makes you think that? Of course, I don't know if you're right or if I'm right. But, I do know that people are pretty selfish. I seriously doubt that the attorney would, out of the goodness of his heart, would arrange the processing fee to the village. It's likely he justified the $100k going into his own pocket for the work he had to do.

Wooooow what year was that in?? Edit: I’m sure it’s a quick google but it’d also be interesting hear your information on the context of the time

He was convicted of witness tampering not handing out badges. He did give out CCWs but that isn’t a crime since any non felon can apply and receive one from the sheriff. My buddy just got one in Orange County ca and he doesn’t know the sheriff.

he was also denying almost all Concealed permits from applicants

Did they get all the badges, Id's and permits back, or could one presumably still have 'fake' credentials being used on unsuspecting individuals.??

Recalling the CCW permits _en masse_ was wrong. They should have been reviewed on a one to one basis. California is a dump.

For a year

Sound like regular cops

They always let the vehicles go if they were "carrying the goods for distribution"

Hilarious 1st comment I've seen saying this. Of course they are - border w Mexico...hmmm....wonder how many tunnels end up in this area

A bunch of folks who wanna harass folks and be above the law.

Why is it these kind of guys are always sporting the bad facial hair? Losers.

Dan Bilzerian, too. Remember the footage from the Las Vegas shooting where he asked a REAL cop to give him his gun and said "I'm a cop too, bro" and the real cop was like "I don't know who the fuck you are, get away from me"

@@twizz420 Eh, I think OP is being a fan boy. At least the 2 he mentioned were actually SoF unlike Dan "trust fun coke zombie" Blizerian I guess. Not to mention they utterly misunderstand what police are for. "put them up against?" dumbest comment I've seen someone willing to take a break from Dorritos, Mtn Dew while waiting for the next round to start.

A *closely monitored* 22 weeks training and 14 step pre-hiring process lol These guys don’t even realize how ridiculous they sound explaining the difference between uninformed “real” cops vs the guy who killed osama bin laden.

You realize the 2-4 years of school just means college, which you have to do to become a cop in almost every agency in the United States? Police also have to do those 22 weeks of high intensity training plus an additional 1-2 years of mandated FTO probationary training.

@@sigsauer_firearms If that were true then cops wouldn't be so fucking retarded.

It takes 2 years to become a certified barber and cut hair. hahahahah our law enforcement agencies are a joke.

@@sigsauer_firearms Many jails have almost no training for their jailers and guards. It is strictly an on the job training program for most jails in Michigan. County Sheriff's departments and the state police in Michigan require police academy training for paid officers (this is not necessarily true of Sheriff's posses), the state has its own program and counties require that recruits attend either Grand Valley State University's or West Shore Community College's police academy program. The largest city in the state, Grand Rapids and second largest city Detroit operate their own police academy for city police, some departments require university police academy attendance and many small towns don't require any training at all.

Sound like regular cops

They hide in plain sight. They take jobs with positions of authority so they can use that to further their wickedness.

a guy can hope

We can only hope!

honestly, even "legit" police departments have lowered their hiring standards to the point of being not much better! hahah

@@randalthor6872 is there legit police departments. So far no have watched 100s and 100s of police audits or cop watching and I have seen EXACTLY 1 department as a whole that was what we should all wish we had.

@@Formerbootlicker Well, you are not wrong. It's safe to assume that the overwhelming majority of our PD's need extreme overhauls and retraining on the Constitution. This would be a great first step! The body cams are already having a huge impact in protecting the good cops and exposing the bad cops, but they really shouldn't be able to "mute" or "pause" the recording. That's no good. Cheers and happy saturday ; P

Exactly what came to my mind,,,,, "I guess it does".

Show what harm was done, please.

yes

The Mayor was in on it

@@babydriver8134it's a HUGE liability and risk to public safety with weirdos out there playing cop. I guarantee they never flew in and did any "policing" Just a way for them to flash a badge when they get in trouble in their state Do you want random untrained individuals abusing their power in your town?

Because its legal. Notice how none of these officials said straight up "this is illegal". Abuse of power? I guess, but he's not making a legal claim. He's just saying that the guy is abusing his power. If it was illegal, every single one of those "reserve officers" would be facing charges of impersonating a police officer and the fact is they aren't.

@@htomerif Excuse me!?, a loophole allowing the employment of reserve officers/militia from across the country is an abuse of power.. No wonder the "chief" resigned.. expecting a response by state and/or federal oversight! If an official investigation happens.. The findings, and litigation will create case law limiting any further abuse of powers!! WASTE & ABUSE ENDS, WHEN THE POEPLE RECALL/REDRESS THEIR INADEQUACIES.. ITS NECESSARY TO REMIND PUBLIC OFFICIALS.. WE CARE! WHEN WE DONT CARE, THEY ABUSE! WHEN WE DONT REDRESS, THEY CONTINUE BUSINESS AS USUAL! STAY AWARE!! HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

@@ryanwallace2156 Look, no offense but you do understand the difference between "abuse of power" a lay term and "abuse of power" as a term of art, right? There's no doubt that in lay terms this is an abuse of power. I don't think its a legal abuse of power though. You're right as far as case law goes but I'd really be surprised if there's no case law already established. I know Alaska has a huge reserve officer force for the same reason as that town: a lot of the towns in Alaska can't afford to pay a full time certified cop. I'd say that AK would be a good place to look for case law regarding who can appoint police, volunteer, etc. I'm guessing you just copy-pasted your rant at the end since it wasn't relevant to what happened here. These people were paying to be "police officers". I don't see any immediate violation of the law, but I'm guessing if there was an investigation you would see all kinds of charges pop up like bribery, fraud and embezzlement. That's probably the reason multiple people resigned. It would be great if an investigation could get off the ground, but the FBI still needs RAS to even start an investigation and PC for warrants. To be honest, the best way to get the ball rolling on this would be for an organization like the SPLC to file lawsuits against individuals involved for whatever, then to turn over what was found in discovery to the FBI or NM DA's office. That would give them PC to do a real investigation, but it costs money to get to that point and I don't think you're going to find anyone willing to bankroll that lawsuit or a nonprofit with enough money and manpower to divert to something as (relatively) inconsequential as people paying to be cops.

@@htomerif htomerif, I lived Alaska fot 13yrs. You are partially right about the reserve officers. These officers DO NOT carry a gun. Secondly those reserves have VERY LITTLE POWER!!! They MUST call for a Alaska State Trooper to do virtually everything. They really don't arrest for most crimes. It MUST be turned over to State police. They really don't NEED to put so called prisoners in a jail, way too cold to run. St. Popo comes in by airplane for serious crimes. The PEACE OFFICER can only report!! Htomerif, you are close too being right, but the fat lady didn't sing. Nice try tho.

@@rangerbill9536 No, not a "nice try". I knew all of that. Whether or not they carry a gun or a trained hamster or have to ride around in a clown car is irrelevant. The only thing I was using them for is as a comparison for case law regarding the legality of their existing. That's it. That was the whole point of the conversation. I would tell you that these fake NM police have to to basically everything that the AK reserves do and don't have any more power than they do *legally*, but that's not the point of my post. Also: you don't understand what a "peace officer" is. I'm not gonna go out of my way to publicly embarrass you here but look up who "peace officers" actually are, then do whatever you want with that information.

Yeah had more to do with guys wanting to carry weapons nationally under the federal law

Yea, seems a bit like an overblown story and I hate most cops🤣

So many laws state that they do not apply to police officers. This is really a genius scheme. I want in.

Maybe it is time to change the laws and make them apply to Law Enforcement or increase penalties for LE. I wish I had the answer 😕

In most places your right. In utah, we have reserve officer positions. The difference is you have to go through the POST (police) Academy. Some reserve officers are paid 2/3 the regular officer pay per hour for there handful of hours worked.

They do. Any real need for law enforcement would be handled by county sheriff's dept.

Nah you don't need an AR 15 buddy

Not true the first gun law ever was making machine guns illegal remember bony and Clyde ha and that was illegal to in some states you can own a Canon ha you can buy dynamite in any state ha take care Lonnie ray

"This is a perfect example of why..." Huh ??? Um, no.

@@dingus622 yes, because all guns are called ar 15

@@dingus622 absolutely we do need an AR15, and many others as well!

Yea those wanna be cops would have paid A LOT more to play cop

Right? For a town with 430 people? Something is so wrong here.

I agree

One of them did 'hurt someone'. One shot his brother-in-law (in Oregon) flashed his credentials and is now convicted. Another was involved in a drug raid where someone was killed. And a third was indicted in Carolina for drug smuggling.

No such thing as criminal justice, also being a cop lol big deal.

Lol love how you threw Jeremy DeWitt in there.. love all his arrest.. he would have definitely paid 400 and would have patrolled the town stopping everyone

@@levinolan636 Are you kidding me. Yes there is criminal justice degrees. Do a little research.

@@10Wk3y84R you are right about a police officer caring in all 50 what I actually meant to say was they don't have jurisdiction to make any kind of arrest

Word !

A badge doesn’t mean brave/ running into the gunfire takes a special kind of person and a badge DOES NOT give that you have it or you don’t

NOT 1 kid mentioned in entire video professor

Same thing I was thinking

@@Rapha_YadaFarms Maybe cops are getting brainwashed into believe we're the enemy. Well now I know.

@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket that's the nickname of the town because of all the meth users.

Arizona as well

🤣😂🤣😂 and that's everyday something crazy pops up. I just sit back try to stay out of the way and watch...

"almost all 50" means "not all 50." Also, no. Law enforcement agencies must notify the FBI through NCIC prior to flying armed and it can only be done for prisoner transport.

Makes you wonder how many false arrests were made and if those people would get out

Also shines a bright light on the fact everyone knows, cops get away with just about everything.

We're we r r r⁴wert r ř

You ever tase or shot an unarmed guy? You ever turn in a bad cop, playing cop was fun for you wasn't it?

As a cop too, I agree.

My dad had a crippled foot for most of his life but he still got off his fat ass when he was in his 20’s and was a volunteer firefighter in a rural area without a ton of action but still he ran into his fair share of burning buildings and dragged a couple of people out

Crimes, or Violations are supposed to be handled by qualified Law enforce enforcement people, not just Jhon Doe's !!!!

Yep.

Facts!... I almost became one many years ago, that job is stressful as hell. You would ended being an alcoholic, wife-beater and drug addict. I know people who are gang bangers joining the force.

not alot of difference between cops and criminals

Sure. Sure they would have.

@@jonrajsl291 absolute clown. I agree.

That's just it he can't and most likely nothing will come of this for him

A cop is a cop is a cop. It doesn't matter what city you choose. They are all the same. Lying A$$holes. Corrupt to the core.

MJ: No. Not unless state law authorizes it. Western movies are not reliable legal advice.

Wrong

You're absolutely 100% right! Hit the nail right on the head!

a fry cook at your local burger joint gets more training than a cop.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The vast majority of the country requires a two year criminal justice degree. The remainder only require a 2-year degree in any subject but you must have an associate's degree. As for the job being hard, spend a week actually doing the job, you'll figure out how easy and how hard it is.

Don't get me wrong everybody interviewed in this video is a fucking douchebag. Police have no more authority than an average citizen, the difference, is police are bound by oath to intervene and act whereas a citizen has a right to yield our sovereignty to the police. Any member of the United States of America citizenship can make an arrest if they are victim of or have witnessed a crime. We have the option to do nothing, we have the option to yield to the police, we also have the option to step in and make the arrest ourselves because we the people are the law, the law is already in our hands because we are the law.

There are some extreme rural places where you can not have a two years associate's degree and still swear your oath as an officer of the peace. No you don't have to be a both found peace officer to be sheriff. Sheriff in this country is an elected position.

@@rivermcratt3683 They have all the power and none of the training or responsibility, it's piss easy. They're parasites.
