Police officers are notorious for protecting the wrong actions of their fellow cops behind the blue wall of silence. However, what happens when some police officers decide to tear down this wall and hold their fellow dirty cops accountable for their actions? Here are different cases where a dirty cop meets a good cop. So, I need to ask you, do you still want to file a complaint or anything like that? I can take a complaint if you want to file a complaint. You know what? I would rather him get the education this way. This is Joshua Martinez, a famous First Amendment auditor from Las Vegas, Nevada. Mr. Martinez frequently films at public places and makes educational videos about the First Amendment for his YouTube channel. Watch how he educates these unruly correction officers at Clark County Detention Center when they unlawfully detained and handcuffed him for filming on public property. [Applause] Doing all right. How about yourself? Good. How you doing? Pretty good. Can I uh can I help you? No, thank you. You're good. All right. Can I ask you why you're taking pictures of the facility? Excuse me? Can I ask you why you're taking pictures of our facility? I'm not saying you can't. I'm just asking if you Yeah, I know. I just don't feel like answering any questions. Okay. All right, sir. What's that? [Music] Oh, what's that? Is this pro public or private? I can't even hear you guys. We're We're screaming. This is public property here, sir. Is this public property or private? It's private, sir. It's private, sir. Who's it owned by? If you can't grab the sidewalk for now, you're in our property. But who's it owned by? The county. The county, which is owned by the people. Leave, sir. Excuse me. I'm serious. You have to leave. Call your Call your supervisor out here, please. Stop right there. For what? Stop right there. Stop right there, sir. For what? Look, listen. The stuff may work on the inmates, but it isn't going to work on me. This isn't my first time here. What's your name and badge number? We're going to we're going to trespass you. You're on You're on private property. I'm on private property, and the Clark County owns it. The Clark County owns it, right? What's your name and badge number? As long as I'm not in any security areas, I'm fine. Mr. Martinez can be seen filming peacefully. He is neither going to any restricted areas nor causing any disturbance. But apparently some tyrant cops aren't too happy seeing citizens exercise their constitutionally protected rights. How you doing? Hey, you need to leave our property. You're trespassing. What's that? You need to leave our property. You're trespassing. You're trespassing? Yeah. Can you get your hand off my No, I cannot get my hand off the camera. How about this? We'll call a field officer out here and when they get here, I could talk to them. Last time I'm going to tell you, you need to leave the property. You're trespassing. Need to leave the property. You're trespassing. You know what? didn't formally trespass me. I'll take a formal trespass. Okay. All right. This will walk you off the property. I don't care who you are. Okay. Well, that's you can't be here. I've been involved with a couple federal lawsuits. That's absolutely wonderful. Has it ever worked out for you? Get your hand off of my camera. Okay. I'm telling you, leave our property. This isn't your property. This is You need to leave our property. Get your hand off my camera. Leave our property. Get your hand off my You need to leave our property. Call the police out here now. Call cuz you're a CO. You need to go. You're a CO. Get youring hands off my camera, sir. All right. Do we already call? Yeah. Call Patrol. Call them. Call them. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. I'm not doing anything. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back. [Music] How can I leave when you're holding on to my camera? He has to nicely leave that you would not leave. Can we have a cordial conversation about it? No, we can't. Cuz when I sit here, do you guys know who's sent me here? I don't really care right now. Okay, then you will. At this point, Lieutenant Butler and his officers detain the citizen and put him in handcuffs. They turn the camera off. When the field patrol officer gets there, he asks the correction officers to let the citizen go as he wasn't doing anything illegal. Captain Forbus, who was the commander, also arrives and personally apologizes to the citizen. How you doing? Good, sir. How are you? Pretty good. So, you're a field officer, I assume, right? I am. There you go. Thank you, Butler. Yep. Thank you. And so now now you're you're aware of public photography, correct, sir? Do I don't even get an apology? Cuz if we can just settle this right now, I won't even go file a complaint. But an apology, I'll be a man and put this behind me and go on about my business. Terribly sorry, sir. Thank you. I appreciate that. And I accept your apology. Appreciate that. Fair enough. All right, guys. Uh well, thank you. Um, Forbus. Yep. Down. Captain Forbes 5372. Thank you. It's my P number. Yep. Thank you. And you field officer? Sergeant Learon P number 9249. Sergeant Walqu 4847. Thank you. And yours? Lane 7627. Thank you. Thank you, fellas. Yeah. No, absolutely. So, we'll ask you, you're going to stay and do still do some photography and stuff, right? Right. Right. Just Just do me a favor. I know. I'll stay away from from a safety issue. We'll have to approach you again if you go over toward that area here. But if you're, you know, if you're around this area here taking photos and stuff, you're fine. Right. Public publicly accessible areas. I don't feel like going down that ramp anyways. So, I'm good. I'm I'm like I said, I want to get picture of the sunset with the flag. I want to just get those things. So, all right. All right. So, I need to ask you, do you still want to file a complaint or anything like that? I can take a complaint if you want to file a complaint. You know what? I would rather him get the education this way. Um, so if anything, if I do file a complaint, I'll just go online and I'll file a complaint. But right now, the adrenaline's still going. My mind's all over the place. So, understood. But I needed wanted to offer that to you and then we'll we'll have a discussion about the training, all that stuff. Make sure that's addressed. Okay. All right. Hey, thank you. Have a good day. Take care. Captain Forbus did the objectively correct thing in this situation. He did not let his ego get in the way. He not only apologized to Mr. Martinez himself, but also made other officers do the same. But if you think Lieutenant Butler was out of line for this illegal detainment, that's because you haven't heard of the case of Officer James Hle. She almost runs me over. We You need to calm yourself. This is Officer James Hle's supervisor asking him to control himself. On December 13th, 2022, Officer Hinkle was directing traffic at the intersection of Thomas Avenue and Homer Street in Waterberry, Connecticut when an unidentified driver went through the intersection. I'm going to use up your immediately in the area 3 close. Alpha 3, give me. Officer Hinkle was neither injured nor the driver was driving recklessly. At best, it was an error of judgment on her part. Watch Officer Hinkle go on a power trip with the petrified woman who is still trying to process what has happened. Pull over. Pull in the parking lot. Pull in the parking lot. We're in this parking lot right now. I'm so sorry. Pull over. Oh my gosh. Please don't yell at me. Pull over now. Oh my. There's no one else with you. No. Pull over. God damn it. I'm not repeating myself. Get out of the roadway and pull over. [Music] Turn the car off. Oh, ammo already. I got one unit. Stop. License and registrations now. Did you not see this bright yellow vest standing in the middle of the street? No, I did. I thought you were leaving. This means stop. This means stop. I didn't see that until I was already passing. And then you still drove by me. I'm so sorry, sir. I didn't License and registration now. Hold on. Hold on. Sorry. Give me a second. Okay. No. License and registration now. Okay. Okay. You almost ran over an officer standing in the middle of the street. I I'm so sorry. I didn't realize what was going on. That was very confusing. It's a bright yellow jacket standing in the middle of the street. What don't you understand? All the other cars were going. No, they weren't. You were the only vehicle coming from that way. You almost ran me over in the middle of the street. Officer Hinkle can be seen being very brash with the lady, who is extremely confused with the officer, yelling in her face. The woman apologizes profusely as the rude officer orders the sobbing lady out of her car and accuses her of trying to run him over. Leave your purse in the car. Where you work? I work for a clothing company in California. What are you doing here today? I'm going to Target. You're going to Target? Yeah. Let's do a pickup. What is such an important factor that me standing in the middle of the street stopping you and you tried to run me over? Sir, I swear I And then you looked at me, you waved at me, and then you kept going anyway. I swear I was not trying to run you over. I thought you were the cars were going. I'm telling you to stop in the middle of the street and you wave at me and keep going. I've I saw your hand before and I it was too late to stop and No, it wasn't. You were doing 10 m an hour and you still drove by me. You didn't even attempt to stop your car. Sir, you're lucky you're not in handcuffs right this second. I'm very sorry, sir. I really explain to my kids why why they don't have a dad a week before Christmas. Because you're trying to run somebody over. Sir, I promise. You see the bright lights flashing in the middle of the street? That means you use caution. There's a cop out there. I got kids at home and you almost ran me over a week before Christmas. Sir, when I see a flashing yellow light, it's not flashing. It's red and blue. That's a cop car standing in the middle of the street flashing lights. No, it's not an accident. You're just being irresponsible street and then waves at me and still tries to drive by me. Run her, please, and make sure she's valid. What is it? [Applause] I can't believe you. A week before Christmas, I almost get ran over. All right. Yeah. I got two kids at home waiting for me to come home tonight. Sir, I'm very sorry. I saw Sorry he doesn't break it. You looked right at me and still decided to drive by me. I was in the middle of the intersection. No, you weren't. I was in the middle of the intersection. Yes. [Music] You hurt emotionally hurt. One would imagine that police officers would try to understand the position of the citizens and be empathetic towards them. But officer Hinkle is throwing tantrums as if he were a 5-year-old child. People expect police officers to show better emotional maturity than Officer Hinkle is showing. This is when his sergeant had to intervene. Anytime you see flashing red and blue lights in the middle of the street, it means there's cops present. No, stop talking. Stop talking. And it means you need to pay attention because there's going to be police officers out and about. Okay, this bright yellow vest, it's very, very bright. It's neon yellow because it stands out. Okay, I'm standing in the middle of the street telling you to stop. That means stop. I'm not waving hi, Merry Christmas. This means stop. Listen, this means stop. Okay. When you see me do this and try to get your attention and stop you again, it doesn't mean wave back to me and keep driving by me. It doesn't mean that. I'm not waving merry Christmas. Keep driving. Stop. Stop. Stop this. I'm sorry. Then what were you doing in your vehicle? Pay attention to the cars in front of me. There were no cars in front of you. There were zero cars in front of you. You were the only vehicle traveling on that road for 500 ft. There were no vehicles in front of you. No, there wasn't. Okay. Okay. She almost runs me over. We following this incident, Waterberry Police Chief Fernando Spanolo in a statement expressed his frustration over Officer Hinkle's demeanor. He lamented the fact that such incidents erode public trust in police. Officer Hinkle was immediately placed on administrative leave and was terminated soon after. But it doesn't end here. If you think Officer Hinkle behaved pathetically and got schooled by his sergeant, wait till you hear about the case of Sergeant Feckas. But if you're going to push my buttons, we'll go straight to jail. I'm not kidding with you. Okay, I understand what's going on. I can smell it come from your breath. I know what's going on. I'm not pushing buttons. You're starting to push my buttons already. If you're going to be compliant, be compliant. If not, we can go to jail. This is Sergeant Peter Feckis, a 21-year veteran of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department who is hammer drunk and was just involved in a car accident. On the scene is trooper Jay Garner of the Ohio State Department, who can only scoff at the condition of his fellow officer. Um, when he crashes, what happened? He rolled up his truck. He said, "Well, he was parked." Mhm. They came up on him, passed out. Okay. hit anything that we can't see. I guess he pulls it out. It's rubber on rubber. You can see it's bent. Okay. Um, Trooper Garner investigates the extent of the accident and sees the abysmal condition of the car. Is there anybody else in his car? Just him. Yeah. 626 for unit two. This is where Trooper Garner meets Sergeant Feckis, who instead of being helpful and compliant, is acting rude and bullheaded. All right, man. I'm Trooper Garner. How's he going? All right. You're going to come out here with me. You're going to see in my car. Okay. I want to talk to you. All right. No. My What's going on tonight? Step out here with me or have my car and talk to you. Hey brother, talk to him so he can come on. Do as much as he can hear my phone. Yeah, we got to let him talk to you. That's all we need right there. No, I need you to step out. Come on. Come on. No. Yes. Hey, bud. We talked about this earlier. I'm going to tell you. When you got here, you were going to cooperate with him. I know you wasn't with me, but you're going to with him. I don't want to take you to jail tonight. Okay. But if you're going to push my buttons, we'll go straight to jail. I'm not kidding with you. Okay. I understand what's going on. I can smell it come from your breath. I know what's going on. Not pushing buttons. You're starting to push my buttons already. If you're going to be compliant, be compliant. If not, we can go to jail and you can figure it out later. Okay? I'm trying to be polite with you. But you're not want to look me in the eye. You're not even wanting to speak to me. ask your name. You just look down. Okay. Peter Fus. Peter Fus. Fus. Okay. Trooper. All right. I'm going to have you step out with me or we're go back to my control point. Okay. So, please step out cuz I can have them transport you to jail and I can just meet you from there. It doesn't matter to me. Okay. So, would you like to step out now? Come on, man. Just stick with him. Stick with him. Just Just work with me. I am help I'm that far back here. After some convincing, Sergeant Feckis finally gives in and steps out of his vehicle. But when asked whether he would be willing to undertake a field sobriety test, the officer quickly declines. You want to contact your glasses. Stop here for a minute or take a look at your eyes. All right. No. I'm sorry. I'm going to take a look at your eyes. Is that okay? Is this something you're willing to do? Why don't you put your feet together for me? All right. See you. Took my pen. Okay. I if is it something you're willing to do? Hey, look, predicate predicated on whether or not you take any test or anything is not how I determine. Yeah, but these are SFSDs, correct? Right. I'm going to explain it to you real quick though, okay? Whether or not you refuse it is not predicated whether or not you go to jail. Your attitude determines that with me, okay? I'll be upfront with you. As long as you're pling cooperative, I'll work with you to get your hold. Okay? But if you're going if you're going to be a pain to me, I'm not being let me finish. If you're going to be a pain about stuff and not let me do my job, you will just go to jail and I'll solve the problem for myself. That's how I do it. Okay? So, if you don't want to take this, you don't have to. You know that legally as the rest of us do here. I have to offer it to you. I have to try to do what I can do. Okay? I clearly see that you've been drinking. I can smell it on your breath. Okay? All right. I see bloodshot glassy eyes. Take yourself through the wheel. I'm just doing my due diligence check. You don't have to, but if you do, that's all I'm trying to do. So, it's entirely up to you whether or not that's something you want to do. Okay? That's entirely up to you. I'm asking that's something you want to do or no. No. Okay. So, here's um you have problems with your shoulders or anything? No. Okay. If you're cuffed in the front, I know you're bigger guy. Probably have a hard time trying to get mine. I'm going to have my cuffs on you instead so I can get the show on back his. Okay. The IMPD sergeant was suspected of failure to control his car, records show, but no people were injured in the incident. An incident report shows that officers suspected Feckas was under the influence of alcohol after they found an open container in his car. Feckis was not booked into jail, instead getting a summon to appear in Fairborn Municipal Court on Monday, November 21st for his involvement in the incident. He was then let go. Only when one thinks they have seen it all, something like this case of Officer Hernandez shakes one to the core. Don't my hell, man. This is Officer Rivera, who was taken aback by the cruelty of his fellow cop, Officer Hernandez. On November 27th, 2020, 20-year-old Jalissa Bergos flicked her cigarette ashes on Officer Hernandez's marked patrol car. This was enough to infuriate the tyrant officer who demanded Bergos to clean her car. Watch what happened when Bergos resisted this. Come here. You're going to go back to my car and you're going to clean that or you're going to go to jail. Get up now. You piss me off. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Where's your warrant for arrest? Get up. Where's your warrant for arrest? Okay. You're going to go back to my car. I need to see your warrant. You're going to go back to my car and you're going to clean me. I'm 20 years old. 20. You got gloves on. She got a cigarette and she went to my car. Rice to sit right here. Okay. For my Uber and he's doing this to me. That's right. You're going to go back to my car from across the street. You're going to go back to my car. You're going to clean that. Let me ask you a question. From what? You got you got extra gloves on? I'm pregnant. He's bothering me. Okay. You're going to go back to my car. You're going to clean what you did. Get up. As Bergos resists, both officers handcuff her and practically drag her to Officer Hernandez's car. Give me a sec. I need to get my stuff. He's getting [Applause] [Music] pregnant. Yeah, I got real pregnant. [Music] Okay. Hey, come back. I can go back right now. What's wrong with it, bro? 318. What's your uh your social security? What's your social? Watch the work. Okay. Okay. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Get over there, guys. Don't break my car. Stop apologizing your car. Don't spit in my face. Whoa. Don't spit in my What the hell did you do? [Music] 7317 the door. [Music] But you didn't have to do it. You should have shut the door. You should have knocked her when she was there. Officer Hernandez's justification of slamming a young handcuffed woman face first on ground was that she had spat on his face. Needless to say that such officers are a public hazard and streets are unsafe as long as these cops are around. Following this incident, Miami Police Department sought officer Hernandez resignation. Miss Bergos filed a lawsuit against the officer for battery and her case awaits a decision. And last but not the least, we have the case of John O'Grady. What's the story? Why are you carrying around a fake gun? I'm a limousine driver and I thought you were a federal marshal. Hey, this is 61-year-old John O'Grady, a self-proclaimed federal marshal from Boon Beach, Florida. On March 21st, 2018, the employees at Best Buy called in police when they noticed that a man who had shoplifted an iPhone X from the store was back in the store. Watch what happens as the police investigate this quote US Marshall" unquote. Is he a law enforcement officer? How'd you get here? Got lost. Do you have any weapons on you, sir? Yes. Okay. Where where's it at, sir? On my hip. Okay. So, we got Are you a police officer? I'm not. Okay. All right. What are you? A federal marshal. Okay. All right. That's what we had as an ID. No. Okay. Just Just We don't want you reaching for anything. I'm not reaching for anything. If you're a federal marshall, you understand what we're doing. Absolutely. Just You have your federal marshal ID? No. So, you're carrying a weapon with no ID on you? No. Cuz I just stepped out of my house to to get this character. You have a number we can call for your supervisor? No. Okay. I got to take this for you just for our safety. Handcuff for what? Until we figure out what's going on. You have a weapon. You have no ID on you. The cigarant is quick at figuring out that there is something fishy going on here. Something just doesn't add up in the story. Not a real weapon. You're carrying a fake weapon and you're a federal marshal. He's got a little back. Are you not? No. Congratulations. You just impersonated a police officer. That's a federal offense. Oh yeah. Congratulations. That's a felony. Okay. I just Good. I Alex, [Music] what's the story? Why are you carrying around a fake gun? I'm a limousine driver and you're a federal marshal. Hey, here you got a badge that says US Marshals. You claim to be US Marshals. You have a badge which what does that say on it? Marshall. So why are we carrying face up? You know it's illegal. No, I didn't know it's illegal. Yes, you are displaying yourself as a law enforcement officer. No, we just asked you, are you in law enforcement? He says, yes, I'm a US marshal. I don't that that's illegal. That's a felony. Oh, absolutely not. We don't play around with this. Needless to say, it is a stretch to call such nut jobs, even a bad cop. But kudos to the arresting officers for spotting a cop impersonator. For John O'Grady, he was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer and retail theft and taken to the Palm Beach County Jail. It is refreshing to see good cops standing up against the black sheep within their ranks. But it also leaves one wondering about the sheer number of dirty cops whose cases get swept under the rug by their fellow dirty cops and what can be done to make police accountability more transparent.
