Sounds like a damn good lawsuit.
Are you logged in?
Is she on parole or probation? My understanding is that many such persons are subject to “no knock” searches by their agents or the police at any time.
Who did the video?
“I’m a private bail enforcement officer”
Translation: “I’m a power hungry, ego-tripping ex meth-head bounty hunter playing law enforcement, with my fat doughnut eating asswipe cop buddies here to provide the muscle and infringe upon your rights as an American.”
Personally, I would have probably Saiga 12ed both those jerks the moment they stepped into my house.
Sounds like a damn good lawsuit.
Wow. That lady needs to get herself a SERIOUS lawyer and just hand him the tape.. That is crazy. She was very composed.
Was it the IRS?? They have guns now!!!
Ping for later.
Under the video you can see the narrative:

Sheriff’s busted into my private home at approx 6 am on Tuesday March 30, 2010. They banged on the door and yelled “Open up... Kern County Sheriff” etc.. for about 4-5 minutes.. I was alone and they were looking for Joe, the man they beat up on the roadside a few months ago in Bakersfield, California. (see video “Joe Police Brutality on my channel” They said they had a warrant but when I demanded to see it, they then retracted their statement and said “We don’t NEED a warrant!!” They threatened to arrest me.. and tried to ORDER ME in my private home to “{back off” of them. See for yourself if I backed off... I do not follow orders of color of law nazi military agents.. they have NO AUTHORITY and NO JURISDICTION. They unlawfully entered and terrorized me. Then they went to my friend Alan’s dad’s house where he was and approached him with guns at his head and threatened to “RIG” a drug test on him to frame him for something. They also said they would kill Joe if they find him. They refused to identify themselves and when I asked one if he was a robot.. he replied “YES”!
She sounded drunk to me. but even drunk people have rights.
bail agents and repo people have way too much power.
This is odd... The tape starts off almost like she’s expecting them to come. The way she’s handling the situation it’s almost like she planned to cause a scene. It is unclear whether or not the officers and private party (bail enforcement officer) had a right to be there. They insist that they do, but can’t produce a warrant when she asks for one, telling them that legally they don’t need one. It is also unclear if she knows the party they are looking for. I’m getting the impression that at the very least, she’s familiar with this person. Some of the things she’s saying don’t make any sense either. “You have been served.” What does she mean? “I can buy one of those badges at Disneyland.” huh? “Full Commercial Liability” wtf!?! “Are you a robot?” Jeez... These cops might very well be wrong, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for this doofus.
Laws are different regarding pursuit of someone who jumped bail. If they were bailbondsmen they can do as they please with no warrant. If they were sheriffs department, then you have something.
It was a bail enforcement agent (bounty hunter), backed up by some county sheriffs.
I don’t know, and maybe somebody can back me up on this, but I’m guessing that in the bail contract you agree to let the agents of the bail company onto your property to locate the subject if they skip on the bail. Warrants have nothing to do with it at that point. It’s a private contract and you’ve already given permission in the fine print.
This woman did an outstanding job of keeping her composure in the face of a pack of fascistic pigs.
If there is indeed a bench warrant for someone’s arrest, AND if there is PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE THAT WARRANTED PERSON IS INSIDE, then yes, they have the right to enter the home.
Sounds to me like camera was rigged in advance because she was hoping to be able to film a supposed “illegal” entry. Cops and bounty hunters didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. Can’t say the same for her.
Amazing! They didn’t shoot either her or any dog!
If she is a normal citizen, they do not have the right to search her house without a warrant or probable cause. I don’t see where they could meet the probable cause criteria.
Even if she is on probation or parole and if the law ays the police have a right to search in that case. It seems to me that the police making a false statement that they had a warrant, when they did not should be a major violation of rights.
The woman who made the video knows the target and he may even live at her address. She has, based on what she says, some eccentric political beliefs. "You have been served" and other statements sound familiar but I would not want to try and identify the movement.
I also believe she expected the knock on the door because the video camera was at the ready even before the first sound. Even though I use my cameras a lot, I would be hunting for the zipper to the camera bag and maybe a blank tape way too long to be effective.
The target of the search may even have been there and fled just in time.
On the other hand, everyone knew they were being video taped. It would not have compromised anything for law enforcement to have interacted with her first and been very polite, asking if she knew where the target was and asking if one, just one, of them could come in and prove to themselves he wasn't there.
Instead, they acted like arrogant thugs. Perhaps they knew this woman and were tired of her bs over many weeks or months. But still, they knew they were on camera. The whole situation would have been different for the viewer if they said "please" and "thank you." The fact that they didn't makes me even more suspicious of their character.
Now, because of their behavior, they are being investigated and their department has a public relations problem that may cause them problems with other residents. They may have been in the right, but somehow I doubt it.
