Go to 00:34 to skip the preview, or to 01:39 to skip the preview and the introduction by the attorney host and get straight to the clip.

Total length 15:52

This officer is not very good at his job. De-escelation, professionalism, knowledge of the laws he is enforcing and the constitution, all fails.
 
DEFEND THE BLUE, enough of these attacks on our law enforcement officials!!

EXCEPT: those defending the Capitol, the DOJ, the FBI, they need to be reigned in, all of them are corrupt.

 
Not surprised, too many instances of officers running around looking to escalate anything they can. A surprised, confused, pregnant, teacher arrested for a relatively minor issue that resulted in no accident and no harm to anyone else.

That isn't even an arrestable offense.
 
I was just about to post this incident! LOL
 
What's the offense?

At least he did not PIT her like this cop did to this pregnant woman who put her blinkers on and was waiting for a safe space to pull over.

Meh, law has nothing to do with officers looking to escalate anything the can probably lying the entire time on why she was arrested.

It was clearly (in my opinion) an attempt at pre-judicial punative punishment. That's literally what he was saying. Taking her to jail because he didn't like what she did, even though he had no legal basis.

She violated Texas traffic code 545.157. Failure to slow down or move over for emergency vehicles on the side of the highway.

How about the RCMP?

Yes.

Mounties often go too far. And they pay the price.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is the largest standing police force in the world. You simply cannot serve vast distances in the Arctic, the longest coastline in the world, all eight of ten provinces as a provincial force, three territories, all airports, ports land crossings and over 250 municipalities without making a few mistakes.

The RCMP is not always forthcoming on their actions. In the late 90's a squad of airport assigned Mounties responded to a call of a man going berserk at the airport.
They killed him within 24 seconds of making eye contact. Then tired to cover it up.
Unprecedented, an inquiry was called and the whole thing blew up, they had lied, the force helped them do it, and the public went nuts.
That was 20 years ago, and the fall out from the Dziekanski inquiry lives on.

They know now they go to jail for breaking the law.

The RCMP had little to do with the Ottawa end of things. Between Doug Ford's wishy washy bullshit, the Mayor and cops in Ottawa, it was a Monty Python sketch. Yeah, they eventually followed orders but NO ONE wanted the responsibility. The city, province etc. were actually afraid of these guys.

But, for better of for worse, the Canadian way prevailed; do nothing until you absolutely must, then over react.

For the record, the feds had no jurisdiction without the Emergencies Act. They could have used the War Measures act like Justin's dad.
 

I seriously need to look into the ease of transitioning into Canada criminal defense. The judicial system sounds a tad more balanced. So do most things. Perhaps all of them.

I don't know if our judicial system is worth changing your life for.

That was one or our legal systems worst hours. The final outcome took far too long, the public was never satisfied we knew all that was done, the cover up was never fully pressed. Not enough people went to jail. The case to look at is the trial on mass murder charges of Willie Pickton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pickton), that was an investigator's nightmare begining with having to fine sift acres and acres of ground for partial bones.)

Most Americans think we are soft on crime because we are. We have been moving to 'restorative justice' where time served is replaced with making amends with the community etc. Our prisons have 70% native populations, with just 7% of the national population.

But we celebrate the 10 years recently given to a gang member for carrying a gun. He'll do at least 7. In the US I suspect he'd get probation.

I won't say street crime in unheard of, but so much less than the US. (I know one cop who says he'd be happier to work without a gun. Manyn of my neighbors do not lock their apartment door. I believe that has to do with who were are. There is a greater respect between people here which I believe is partly a result of the harsh climate....you had to get along with your neighbors if you wanted to survive the winter. It is true we are polite and we do say 'sorry' a lot. Even our buses say "sorry, not in service".

But, never forget that our national pastime is the only professional sport to allow bare knuckles fighting.
