What is with the police and their obsession about demanding ID from people? And this was crazy when the cop arrests the man and THEN come up with a reason for the arrest (Obstruction).

Worth watching along with his other videos.

Translation: Police doing their job and obstinate minorities getting in the way. Even in West Virginia. Question: Are you growing marijuana? Answer: I demand your name and badge numbers. This was not a “civil rights violation.” The police are allowed to drive up to your house and allowed to ask you if the marijuana growing in your backyard is stuff you are growing. The black couple made this a “racial” issue.

The police officers may think they were doing their job but if the pot is not on the persons’ property the police have nothing.

“an overgrown parcel of land not owned by any of these individuals, apparently had four marijuana plants growing there, among the thick brush...”

Gee, it’s not like marijuana grows wild in all 48 contiguous states. To the point where it is universally referred to simply as “weed”...

If the arrestee owns the property, his name and (possibly) date of birth are a matter of public record. It might take a while to get that info but the cop is just being lazy and trying hard to be a dick.

“What is with the police and their obsession about demanding ID from people?”

It’s an excuse for them to force an interaction with citizens when they have no actual probable cause to interact with them.

Look up “Terry Stop” to find out why they do that.

"Did you find it on my property?"

Cop. "It's near your property" "Give me your name or I will put you in a cage"

Good grief, violent crime is through the roof...Do these cops not have anything to do? They're out there threatening and hassling these non-violent homeowners, even after the cops admitted the plants were not on their property....This is the kind of bull shit that makes people hate cops.

I can't believe they way they treated these folks.

I would have told them to GTF off my property and come back with a valid warrant.

I am with the Black couple on this one. Too many Freepers here think cops are Gods. If they have evidence that the couple were growing contraband then prove it in court. Local cops don’t have authority ANYWHERE in the USA to storm your property without a warrant and arrest you for not answering questions. The two cops here should be fired.

1. The lawyer is just too smarmy and unbearable.
2. The officers remained calm and professional throughout.
3. This giant black attitude thing is very expensive and time-consuming.

I believe it is safe to say that black folks are justified in their hesitance towards answering questions from authorities. There’s a lot of history there. Given how law enforcement has acted towards conservatives, including my own congressman, Scott Perry, I am hesitant in answering any questions. Trust has been destroyed for many people. I have zero trust in law enforcement and the justice system. More than once, I have asked myself is this how black folks feel. That adage, if you haven’t done anything wrong then you have nothing to worry about no longer hold true. Don’t ever volunteer information to law enforcement unless your lawyer is involved.

There is a politicization of the justice system. Justice is no longer blind. The blame can be equally attributed to Democrats and Republicans that do not respect and follow the US Constitution.

Saw that one a few days ago.

Aside from that one, I also watched a vid of the Loveland CO police dept activities charging people with DUI when they tested negative. Seems that police dept is getting kickbacks from corporations for each DUI they arrest.

Way to go! Back the blue!

Why should anyone with this kind of son of a bitchery going on?

Why didn’t the homeowner tell the cops he is a retired Army MP? Mystery.

Defund the police, punish the police, make the police hated by the citizens and politicians, and you get the bottom of the barrel. NO ONE in their right mind, and certainly a moral man, would ever consider becoming an officer. Especially surrounded by “diversity.”

They should have just gone in their house and shut the door and called the police.

The police are paid by the government to be enforcers.

This is not directly related to the video you posted about but is illustrative of the sad state of relations between the people WHO SERVE US, and The People.

Marijuana grow? Four plants??? Looks to me like they were growing out of a couple of discarded garbage bags that had been there for a long time judging by the weeds that covered them.
