The cops broke the law, though. He wasn't a nice guy. He made their job tougher. But he was within his rights and the police apparently weren't. Still, a wild thing to watch.
Good lord. The police convinced this guy to convince to murdering his dad. Big problem since his dad wasn't dead but was alive and well, which they found out during the interrogation. Then the police let him sit for five days thinking his dad was dead and they were going to euthanize his dog, too.
All in the name of "keeping people safe". I'm sorry but police should not have the ability to do this.
Unfortunately, having seen reports about studies about police interrogations, incidents like this aren't as rare as our common sense tells them it should be. It's one of those imperfections in our system. Just like there's a benefit in a healthcare system that keeps people alive but sick and in need of care, there are factors in our law enforcement that push for conviction regardless of the facts. And anyone that's ever been involved in our judicial system can tell you that how much you can afford to pay has a direct correlation to your ability to utilize all the benefits of said system. Sure, anyone can get a public defender, but is having someone who regularly works with the prosecution really going to provide one the best defense? And how does one pay for all those little filings and things that might give one the best defense or the proper opportunity to sue for damages? A lot of Americans don't have the money to defend themselves or to recover damages, even if legally they have everything in their favor. A Donald Trump or Elon Musk can just outspend a typical American on delaying tactics and win a case through attrition through frivolous motions and actions. Their opposition won't have the money to keep paying for proper legal representation.
“You were at the Gas Station an Abnormal Amount of Time” | Karen Cop Detains Couple 90 MINUTES! Posted on September 6, 2024 Teton County Sheriff’s Deputy Ashley Hayes detained a woman and her boyfriend because they “were at a gas station an abnormal amount of time.” They were ultimately held for over 90 minutes, while a drug dog was brought to the scene, unsuccessfully searching them for drugs. The boyfriend was arrested for refusing to sit on a curb during the detention, despite the fact that no crime had even been alleged to have occurred. The video went viral locally, with many residents calling for the termination of the deputy. The sheriff acknowledged the existence of the video, but has refused to comment on the situation due to the pending (bogus) charges against the boyfriend. So basically, a couple went to the gas station, and then got harassed by some cops for no actual justified reason. Media report here.
90 minutes is probably enough time to call a lawyer. That is absolutely abhorrent "police" activity though, for sure. Pigs.

Cops Paralyze Handcuffed Man (He Died) | What Happened to the Cops? Posted on September 30, 2024 On the afternoon of October 8, 2022, Anthony Silva’s life was irrevocably altered when Stanislaus County deputies unleashed a brutal assault, leaving him quadriplegic and eventually causing his death on September 10, 2023. Renowned California Civil Rights Attorney, Dale Galipo, filed a lawsuit on Anthony’s behalf. He joined me to explain the current status of that litigation, including the outrageous fact that no government investigation ever occurred regarding the circumstances of Silva’s injury and ultimate death.
I'm not for the death penalty. But these cops have the worst karma. I said something non-lethal but very bad should happen to them, but I edited it out.
