Cop: “Now you’re a witness to this crime we’re doing.” The one time this cop accidentally told the truth.

But when a cop wants to search a car it’s suddenly not subject to the same privacy as a home anymore.

“You can speak to him, but it’ll be in handcuffs and at the jail” is a scare tactic and direct threat from these corrupt cops who clearly know they’re wrong and trying to not get their superior involved. Disgusting.

One of my siblings was a police officer for 42 years. He told me that once a police officer crosses their arms when talking to anybody, they are now in the mode of bullying, not listening. When a cop crosses their arms, when talking to a civilian, that’s when recording is most important.

The ignorance of these officers is shocking.

I’ve said it 1000 times and I’ll say it 1000 more. A Barber has to have TWICE as many hours of training before going to their first day at work.

The perception that cops are above people disgusts me.

4:03 I busted out the biggest laugh when he said “ur probably gonna end up in jail because you witnessed a crime.” 😂 that’s the best!

The threat of arrest for asking to speak to a supervisor is ridiculous and should be the end of that officers career.

Ignorance of the law has never stood up in court for a private citizen. Why should it matter for bullies with guns?

"Heres the thing" famous last words

It's super weird how many people in the US, not just cops, have no clue or don't care how filming in public is protected.

When have cops ever treated a car as “an extension of someone home” and respected privacy? 😂

He didn’t “witness” a crime. He didn’t see the drug deal. He saw the cops pull a car over.

I got pulled over not too long ago and the cop was being an ass so I told him “come on now let’s not be on Audit the Audit” and his attitude completely changed.

Keep putting their faces out there. Their family and friends already know how narcissistic they are but the public deserves to know. Also it helps put the faces of hope (like the sergeant) out there.

“Then you’re probably going to go to jail because you’re witnessing a crime.” Seriously where are they finding these cops lol. They just randomly say things that don’t even make sense.

Its insane that even the most basic paralegal has more knowledge than these police officers.

THIS is an example of what a good channel is. Explaining what was being done wrong, what was right, why, and even has a grading system to help give his opinion based on what was presented. Getting all sides of the story and following through with our rights is more than just that, it is our responsibility as citizens. We praise those who do well, because being a police officer is not an easy job. Just as we should point out when an error is made, because that is how we learn and improve. The courage to speak out the truth is fundamental in our journey to ensure that we become a better and more perfect union, and I am happy to see channels like these doing the right thing.

It should be illegal for cops to make things up especially when they are trying to intimidate citizens and manipulate them into forfeiting their rights.

amazing how citizens are expected to know and follow "ALL" laws but law enforcement is exempt

Cops - Your video recording is illegal Also cops - We want to use your illegal video for evidence against the guy we’re arresting. Me - Somebody please make it make sense….(Face palm)😒

I filed complaints on officers about 6 years or so ago. I have been thinking about checking their personnel files to see if the complaints are still in them.

It’s insane how people, especially law enforcement, still don’t understand how the first amendment works in regards to filming/taking pictures

He did not witness a crime, he witnessed an arrest.

"I don't know what crime they committed" "You don't have to know" pretty sure that is one of the main requirements to being a witness

Police: you can’t have tints that dark; there is no right to total privacy on a public way Also Police: HEY YOU CAN’T FILM HIS WINDOWS!!!!!

I really want to thank u (audit the audit )for the channel this is what people needs for the knowledge to protect from all the corrupted cops ...I really appreciate it

Even after a supervisor shows up, They STILL Don't get it trying to ID you. Dangerous cops.

The cops are literally just making things up out of nowhere lol. I’m glad the sergeant actually has some resemblance of common sense.

Mr Turner was lucky. It normally goes quickly to "stop resisting." And then....

Courts have ruled that police have no legal duty to actually "serve and protect" as the motto states, and general citizenry has no legal duty to assist police in their investigations, nor is NOT doing so "obstruction" as is many times charged (and later dismissed).

It's incredible how citizens are the only people that seem to be required to know their rights.

The funny thing to me is..if that same cop looked into a vehicle and saw like...a bag of pills...he wouldn't just say.. extension of their home can't ask about it. He (the police officer)would suddenly have a crystal clear understanding of the lack of privacy expectation while in a public place and use it to his advantage.

"You dont have to know"....that is very telling

You can go to jail for witnessing a crime? 😂

Very sad how weak and fragile these police officers egos are.

"You witnessed a crime!" "I didn't see what happened." "I told you what happened!" Riiiight. That's going to hold up on court.

It's amazing how many deputies simply cannot wait to get their county governments sued.

I’m only in high school and these are helpful, I’m not planning on going into any type of law enforcement type job or anything that has to do with the law. But knowing things is very helpful.

Why can cops just do their job without feeling like they own everybody around them.

The police objected to someone recording because of privacy but had no objection telling a complete stranger why the suspects were arrested. This was never about privacy.

Your videos are so good lol. You’re so thorough, articulate, and impartial, and the grades at the end are satisfying lol

13:37 Wow man good on you for helping with that! We need to be more on that page as a society together! I definitely admire your composure and tone throughout your interaction, that is definitely my take away.

It’s like these clowns are incapable of having a normal conversation without wanting to arrest whoever they are talking too

The irony that the cop starts by saying the car is an extension of the home, when not only is that blatantly false, but if it were true it'd mean he needs a warrant to be there, is the best part of it.

the irony of a cop telling others it's an invasion of privacy to look into another person's vehicle.

I want to thank all officers who took the time to really learn the law instead of ignorance due to ego. Please keep up the good work and make these officers train more.

Mr Turner had the coldest line in any of these auditing video Cop "you cant film here, we have an ordinance" Mr Turner "what if the ordinance is unlawful?" Cop "i guess youll have to take it to court then" Mr. Turner "what if i already did?" 😂 👇🎤💥

First it's "Stand back", then it's "I need your ID", then it's "You're a witness to a crime", then it's "You're trespassing". He just kept making up excuses so he can escalate to violence.

Your videos are truly educational concerning topics of great importance!

Love this channel and Battousai's channel! He is a Badarse. Audit the Audit is TRULY informative! I love you both.

Lovely how it can go from “well then you’re going to jail” to “you’re free to leave”.

For those that don't know, this is the guy from the famous Turner V Driver case. Really cool that he continues his civil rights activities

Sergeant called off the dogs.

You really have one of the best channels. Fair give facts sources. I like that it’s not all cop hating but you call it fair in case by case. Thank you for your work

"I witnessed an arrest. I did not witness a crime." -What he should have said

They get an F+, just cause I'm in a good mood

They made him very anxious, when asked to explain his inclinations lol

i love how he actually goes into the laws around these situations

The Sargent wasn't defending him. He was trying to defuse the situation before his department got sued. The deputies were most likely up too no good and we're attempting too intimidate Turner for standing and filming.

It always amazes me how often abusers blame you for their actions.

1. Always record the police. 2. Always get their names and badge numbers. 3. Always ask, "Am I free to leave?" 4. Always ask for a supervisor. 5. Always remember you have the right to disobey an unlawful order from the police if you are confident they won't be able to demonstrate in court that the order was warranted and made necessary by your conduct. An arrest following refusal to obey an unwarranted police order is unlawful. 6. Always remember you have the right to refuse to identify yourself if you're confident that the police won't be able to demonstrate in court reasonable suspicion of your involvement in a crime; otherwise, provide your full name and nothing more, especially if threatened with arrest. 7. Always tell the cops, "I don't consent to any searches or seizures, and I won't answer questions." 8. Always remain calm. Trigger happy cops are easily startled. 9. Never resist arrest! Unless you can do so safely and you have a valid reason like: self defense or defense of others, unlawful arrest, excessive force, necessity, mistake of fact, duress or coercion, malicious prosecution, preventing a crime, protecting property, medical emergency etc. 10. Always get a lawyer and sue when your rights are violated, targeting individual officers and their department or municipality. Holding officers accountable removes those unfit for duty, while suing the institution can drive policy change. For drivers, prepare the following statement in print or writing to provide to the police along with license, registration and proof of insurance: *WARNING OF LEGAL ACTION FOR RIGHTS VIOLATIONS* During our interaction, I wish to assert my rights as follows: Under the Fourth Amendment, I decline any searches or seizures. Additionally, in accordance with the Fifth Amendment, I affirm my right to remain silent. The 2015 SCOTUS ruling in Rodriguez v. US established that a seizure justified solely by a traffic violation "becomes unlawful if it is prolonged beyond the time reasonably required to complete the mission" of issuing a ticket. I understand that a routine traffic stop may escalate if the police suspect wrongdoing. In such cases, I assert that I'm not obliged to prove my innocence. Any abuse or confusion leading to an arrest will result in legal action to protect my rights and hold responsible parties accountable, including individual officers and their department or municipality. For safety precautions, I'll keep my hands visible on the steering wheel, briefly crack the window to exchange documents, and promptly close it shut. I refuse to obey the order to step out of the vehicle as I consider it unlawful because it is both unwarranted and not made necessary by my conduct. My freedoms don't end where your fears begin. However, I will exit the vehicle if you place me under arrest. I expect you to respect my rights, as per your oath to uphold the Constitution. Sincerely, [Your Name] -------------------------------------------- *QUALIFIED IMMUNITY* Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine that shields government officials, including law enforcement officers, from civil liability for actions performed within their official capacity, as long as those actions do not violate "clearly established" constitutional rights. However, there are certain circumstances where qualified immunity might not protect police officers: 1. **Violation of Clearly Established Law**: If a police officer violates a constitutional right that has been clearly established by existing case law, qualified immunity may not apply. In such cases, the court determines whether the law was clearly established at the time of the alleged violation. 2. **Excessive Use of Force**: If a police officer uses excessive force in violation of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures, qualified immunity may not shield them from liability. Courts examine the specific circumstances of each case to determine whether the force used was objectively reasonable. 3. **Malicious Conduct**: Qualified immunity does not protect officers who engage in malicious conduct or who knowingly violate the law. If it can be shown that an officer acted with malicious intent or deliberately disregarded someone's constitutional rights, they may not be entitled to qualified immunity. 4. **Gross Negligence**: In cases where an officer's conduct demonstrates gross negligence or reckless disregard for the rights of others, qualified immunity might not apply. Courts may find that such conduct goes beyond the scope of official duties and therefore does not merit immunity. 5. **Violation of Clearly Established Policies or Procedures**: If a police officer violates departmental policies or procedures, which are designed to protect individuals' rights, qualified immunity may not shield them from liability. Adherence to departmental protocols does not automatically grant immunity if those actions still violate constitutional rights. 6. **Lack of Subjective Reasonableness**: Even if an officer's actions are deemed objectively reasonable under the circumstances, if the officer's subjective intent is malicious or in bad faith, qualified immunity might not apply. In summary, while qualified immunity generally provides broad protection to law enforcement officers, there are exceptions when their actions violate clearly established constitutional rights, involve excessive force, demonstrate malicious intent, or exhibit gross negligence. Each case is evaluated based on its unique facts and circumstances. -------------------- _The text advocates for asserting rights during police encounters and holding law enforcement accountable. It emphasizes recording interactions, asking for identification, and seeking legal counsel. It challenges qualified immunity, highlighting exceptions where officers may be held liable for violating constitutional rights._ ‒ ChatGPT-3.5

“Your probably going to jail cause you’re a witness to this crime”😂

You got a love when they’re just so confidently talking right out their ass 😂🤦🏽‍♀️🙄

"We can arrest you for witnessing a crime and not identifying yourself." "I don't know what happened." "I just told you!" I'm betting courts love it when the witness cites the officer for their knowledge of the situation 🤦🤦🤦

I love how you rate the situation

I've said it before and ill say it again, when your only tool is a hammer, every situation is a nail.....cudos to the sergeant for doing the right thing. He has experience and wisdom

I like that even if the sergeant was confused on the situation and laws, his entire outlook was just to be productive, and fair to everyone involved. What a gentlemen 👍

Word to the wise. Today’s police officer is not qualified to be a security guard.

the second deputy actually said "well then youre probably gonna end up going to jail, because you witnessed a crime". lmao. they cant possibly be this poorly trained. this man actually said its a crime to witness a crime. its always so easy to tell what kind of cop someone is. if they immediately go to some kind of punishment talk, they are in the job for the feeling of being superior. if they just talk to you like a person, good chance they are a good cop.

The Sargent was like alright dumb and dumber stand down😂

Yes your honor, I was a witness to a crime that I didn't see first hand but these fine cops here told me all about it and what to say.

To all auditors: Keep fighting the good fight! Until these public servants realize integrity and accountability are values not to be feared, you are needed. Thank you for your service.

I love how you break everything down

On be half of The Council of Cameron's we do not claim this one, and all future chances of membership are permanently revoked..

These deputies needs to be removed from the force immediately. They are a threat to the public. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

So by this logic a WITNESS to a crime can be arrested and charged with failing to ID for not providing said ID.? That is insane to me.

Props to the Srg.

Always be polite to a cop, once they are out of line, ONE WORD, "SUPERVISOR". When the Supervisor is out of line, STAY SILENT, SAY NOTHING, and get a LAWYER.

Thank you for exposing these criminals hiding behind their badges

If I'm ever arrested and held in jail as nothing more than a witness you could bet your life I'm doing everything I can to NOT HELP the prosecutor..

i cant stop watching... not like i been here all day... i binged the entire week and aint even kidding.

The amount of yapping in between is wild

Persons who wish for a career in law enforcement should have a minimum of 18 months of constitutional law

"We're gonna have to identify him because he's on our cameras now" amazing. Back to the academy with you, sarge

''I wanna talk to your supervisor'' ''what's your point?'' yeah, that's not how conversations work...

'You are telling me that I have witnessed a crime?'

There is no situation American police can’t make even worse.

Phillip Turner is the best when it comes to auditing the police and exercising his right to film in public. I hope you analyze more of his content in the future. Keep up the great work!

As a Texan, I'm ashamed these officers behaved inappropriately, but proud we had someone accountable for them.

5,594 arrests on people WHO COMITTED NO CRIME. That's kidnapping.

Sergeant probably watches Audit the Audit and Lack Luster here on KZfaq so he knows what cops are actually allowed to do and what they're not allowed to do.

Their ultimate goal was to keep him from recording the scene, and they did that by blocking him at every angle

Any cop who acts like this is not to be trusted and should be publically shamed and jailed and never given public authority EVER. This is not only disgraceful but illegal

"You're on private property." * takes a step forward * "no, I'm on PUBLIC property." 🙄😒 This disregarding the fact that he was NOT on "private property." 🤦‍♂️

That Sergeant is such a push over. Says the auditor is free to go until one of his underlings contradicts him and he falls in line. Such quality leadership shown right there.

it always amazes me how, in "the land of the free", there's so many police officers that try to restrict or ask justification for citizens exercising their rights ..

1:15 vehicle is an extension of the house. 1:45 court decisions on the diminshed expectations in a vehicle.

Classic super troopers squad, that guy even looks like Farva and just as clueless 😅
