Excuse me, officer. I didn't consent to the search of my vehicle. >> Oh, really? Turn around, put your hands behind your back. I don't need your consent. >> May I ask why? >> Can you shut your mouth, dude? >> It'd be fruit of the poisonous tree, officer. >> Dude, you are [ __ ] stupid, dude. Get in the car, dude. >> You'll be hearing from my lawyer about constitutional rights violations. >> Yeah, that sounds good, buddy. >> Completely unfazed by warnings of legal representation, Thompson forcibly shoved the driver into the back of a squad car, escalating a lawful detention into an unlawful arrest. >> You'll be going to jail tonight if you want to play it that way. >> I don't even know what I'm being arrested for. >> You're not under arrest, you're being detained. >> You just said >> He's got issues. >> Thompson tossed the car inside out, coming up completely empty-handed. When backup arrived, they asked him for the legal basis of the search. He twisted the facts, falsely vilifying the law. >> No, she handed it to me. >> Then I tell him, "I'm going to search the car." He's like, "Dude, what is that?" >> You can't search my [ __ ] car. You can't search my [ __ ] car. I didn't consent. >> And then he's like, "Oh, you'll hear from my lawyer." >> Thompson uncuffed Joe and let him go, dropping one final parting threat as he left. >> Just so you know, those carts are a felony in Texas. If I wanted to be stupid, I could take you to jail on a felony, okay? >> The felony he alluded to was actually a THCA vape cartridge, a substance that had been legal in Texas for nearly 5 years. Armed with full proof of purchase for the vehicle and body cam footage, the driver resolved to pursue legal action to the full extent of the law. Once the body cam footage went public, Thompson's career was effectively finished. On the 25th of February 2026, the city council voted unanimously 100% in favor to terminate him on the spot, completely bypassing standard bureaucratic red tape. >> When another officer arrives at the scene, he asks the chief the question of what was the reason for the search. After hearing the chief's part, he notices he seems very off, so he has to let Joe go. And he also uncovers him. Realizes at the end of the day, Joe later sued the chief for his for violation of his rights, and the chief later loses his job. So, I think that's part of what you get after being on a power trip. The chief was was trying to abuse his power thinking it would go scot-free. And at the end of the day, he learned the hard way.
