grab my stuff out the that book bag in
the back and run it back to me so I
don't get charged. Okay, we got 133
recovered. There's another one in the
car.
Okay. Ain't no watching
[Music]
me. All right, guys. Welcome back to the
channel. For today's video, we're going
to show a routine traffic stop that
doesn't go so routinely. Uh the guy that
is in this car, unbeknownst to the
officers, is a very violent repeat
offending criminal and he is armed with
a rifle. I think I put that in the
thumbnail. If not, I'm going to spoil
it. There is a rifle involved in this
traffic stop. Uh the officers go to make
the traffic stop and everything does not
go as planned. And I think that's all
I'm going to say about the video for now
because I'm going to save the majority
of my comments and critiques for the end
of the video because not everything goes
as planned because the officers made a
couple of mistakes. Um, at the end of
the video, I'm going to come down and
break down what their mistakes were. But
before that, I want you guys to be able
to see everything that I saw. So, what
we're going to see is the officers pull
over this car. You're going to see the
driver's side approach from the officer
that was driving the cruiser. You're
going to see the passenger side approach
from the officer that was the passenger
in the cruiser cruiser. And then the
final part of the video is going to be
the cruiser camera itself. That kind of
gives you a bird's eye view so you can
see what everybody was doing during the
entire incident and the microphone that
is going to be paired up with that
particular video. It's going to be the
officer that was sitting on the
passenger side of the car. So without
further ado, here's a traffic stop where
everything does not go as planned.

Why are you Because you're not listening

talking on the damn phone when we're
trying to give you commands. You don't
want to listen.
You're yelling for no reason, bro. I
just told you three times why I'm
yelling. Hello, Mom. We got pulled over.
I'm out here. I'm out here on Weber and
somewhere. We're I'm out here detained
by the police officers. All righty. So,
what went wrong in this traffic stop?
Um, I have a couple of very simple
critiques, two critiques that I want to
bring up. Uh, one is a training issue
that I'm sure this officer has already
learned from. The other thing is a is an
officer safety thing that really kind of
I I don't want to use the wrong
language. It I really hate seeing this
kind of officer safety breakdown. So,
the very first thing, you know, we've
got the traffic stop, they go up to the
car, sees a gun in the floorboard of the
car, he wants to remove that guy from
the gun. There's nothing wrong with
that. Um, we can talk about, you know,
some of the things that they could have
done by calling for backup, holding him
at gunpoint, all that stuff. doesn't
matter. He decides to pull the guy out
of the car. That was his decision. That
that that's an okay decision to make.
Might not be what everybody chooses to
do. There's nothing wrong with it.
That's my point. So, he goes to pull out
the guy of the car and the guy was able
to spin and get away. Why was that guy
able to spin out and get away from him?
Well, it's because he lacadasically
pulled him out of the car. He didn't
pull him out of the car the way we are
trained to pull people out of the car.
He learned a valuable lesson this day.
Thank God nobody was hurt. But you're on
the passenger side of the car. You got a
compliant suspect. Um you you ask the
guy to get out of the car. You open the
door. Um what normally happens is this
guy's on this side of the car. You've
got access to this arm. That arm now
becomes yours. You latch on to that arm.
Say this is this is a nice arm. I think
I'll take it. Uh then you begin using
that arm to guide the person out of the
car. You bring your other hand up and
you push him into the door frame. So,
you've got a wedge right here, a natural
wedge from the door, the car, and then
the door. You push that person down into
that corner by pulling them out of the
car, pushing them in, and then you take
that arm and you lock it in. That now
becomes your arm. You notice I'm bring
it up here, but you're going to you're
going to lock that arm in, and you put
his elbow inside of yours, so he's not
going anywhere. He's not going anywhere.
And you've got him pushed into the door
frame of that car. You reach around, you
grab the his other arm, and you you get
those in one hand, and you go back for
your cuffs. If he tries to wiggle free,
you know, he's got two hands trying to
break through one of your hands. You can
push them into the into the door frame.
You can let go of your cuffs. You can
push him in the door frame. You can grab
his elbows, ma maintain control, put all
your body weight into them, use a knee.
There's a lot of things that you can do,
but you have to use the frame of that
car, that door frame. The officer in
this case did not use the door frame. He
did not do what he was trained to do and
he learned there's a reason that we
trained to do things a certain way and
the suspect was able to kind of get
free. Uh that's all I want to say about
that part. The other thing that I want
to say is there was some complacency in
this video that I really really hate
seeing. Uh specifically when you've got
a suspect sitting on the bumper of your
car and you have a rifle right behind
the suspect and you turn your back on
the guy. you turn your back on the guy
and you're about to walk away. Luckily,
there was another officer on scene that
was walking by that said, "Hey, you wait
with him. I'll go talk to her." Um,
never turn your back on a suspect who is
not secure. Someone handcuffed does not
make them secure. If you got somebody in
handcuffs, you watch that person. People
in handcuffs regularly run from us,
especially if there was already a weapon
taken out of the car. I mean, there's so
many danger signs in this vehicle. So,
you got a female driving, a male in the
front, and a male in the back, a gun in
the front. You got a guy in the back
saying he's got a gun. It's in his
backpack. What the world is going on
here? You don't know where these guys
came from, where they're on their way to
do. God knows what they were about to
do. Just maintain what you have. Get
control of everybody. And then once
you've got enough officers on scene,
start to break things down. Get everyone
secured and cruisers. You can go get
guns and and all that kind of stuff.
Never turn your back on a suspect that
is not secure. That's that's the end of
it. Those are the two major points I
want to bring up. Uh the third thing
about this video that I kind of learned
after doing my research, I'll go ahead
and put up the U10 of the guy. Um his
name was I I closed it on my screen. His
name is Ba Cece. Let's go to the uh the
court's web page and look at his the
criminal charges. I'm not going to bring
up all of his cases, but here I'll go
ahead and do this. So these are his
cases. Uh he has five violent felony
cases, most of them involving
firearms in the last five years. He's 24
years old. So he was 19 years old and he
was charged with discharging firearms
and improper handling of a firearm.
Again in 2019, intimidation of a
witness. Uh then in 2020, possession of
drugs. Fel these are all felonies. This
is the felony court web page. in 2024,
uh, improper handling of a weapon and
weapons under disability. That was
actually for this arrest. And then again
in 2024, he was charged with escape. So
this guy, Bay Cece, is a violent
offender, a violent felon with a a
violent repeat felon. He's 24 years old,
has five violent felonies.
This is not the kind of guy that you
want to just walk up to a car and
lacadasically pull him out of the car.
This is the reason why we treat every
single suspect as if they're dangerous
because you never know if that guy
that's kind of playing it cool with you
is going to be another uh bay ceay. So
when you're taking someone in the car,
treat them like they're armed and
dangerous. do that because your life and
your partner's life are incredibly
important and you don't want to have to
live with the letdown that potentially
your complacency got your buddy killed.
I think that's all I want to say about
this particular video. Thank you for
watching. I'll talk to you guys soon.
