Details/Case Law: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2025/01/22/lazy-cops-make-a-youtube-video-about-wrongfully-arresting-a-janitor/
Two police officers in Asheville, North Carolina, violently arrested a beloved local 63 year-old janitor after receiving a false report from the local Subaru dealership that one of their cars was being used without authorization. Louis Searles, the janitor, sees the officers looking at a car outside the building where he works. He had observed the woman who was driving the vehicle, so he walked up to the officers and told then where the woman was (in a local business called "Thrive," which is in the building where he works as a janitor. Instead of going and locating that woman, they decided to violently arrest the janitor.
The video the cops made: https://youtu.be/TnxWJ8nuEkA?si=x0k88f_HfdcPAYLm
LEOs need constant reminders that they are CIVIL SERVANTS, and have taken a sworn OATH to uphold the CONSTITUTION. The Constitution is in FACT "THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND". LEOs need to stop violating our Constitutional Rights and The Courts need to start holding them accountable.
Why take him, he's on the ground. You have him subdued.
Unbelievable crooked cops all over the world don't trust cops anymore
The keys can't be reasonable suspicion when he volunteered information on who was driving the car, something the cops could have verified, 90% of adults will have keys of their own keys, relating to their own property, even if they're standing to other property
oh you walk away, wow you are guilty. This is crazy.
This is why I NEVER help cops. You never know when they may pin it on you or rough you up or ruin you and your kids' lives.
how much he won?
Charge those officers with assault, false imprisonment and kidnapping
just be quiet and let them cowards put money in your pockets
This is why you never want to help cops 🐽
cowards doing what cowards do
Here is the problem. Why did he engage and then decided to disengage without saying a word and started walking away? With that said, cops seemed overreacted. But all this based on interaction shown on the video.
The so called investigation is as usual a Non investigation they never do an actual investigation , because if they did they could not do what they feel they need to do. We know what that is .
You know cops have always been tyrants and thugs it’s just cameras are catching them they’re all poorly trained thugs
Well, he was a black guy. Of course the cops thought he did it. We see this with 1st Amendment Auditors all the time. Cops detain them without evidence of crime. Many people hate Auditors, but they show us the ug;ly truth about cops.
He was under no obligation to help them with their investigation, as i know a former tyrant he said he demanded respect from the public because he “ put his life on the line every day “. I’m calling BS he chose to take the job nobody is obligated to help him with his job.
As a country when are we going to say enough is enough and hold police accountable ?
"We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing".
How quaint!
First of all…the newer year Subaru uses a "FOB", not keys.
The LEO's have serious observational deficiency's.
Aren't LEO's allegedly "trained observers"?
Smh 😠
Do you mean legally, no they can’t! They can ask questions, and he can answer if he wants, or they can get a warrant to make him, but he can take the 5th!
This problem never ever fixes it. People are powerless.
How can he have lived for 63 years in America, as a black man and not know that you never voluntarily engage with the cops?
Cops are the stupidest people alive , there ego's make them altra stupid. This janitor did nothing wrong yet he is handcuffed and tazed . You do not have to assist any cops in there investigation. So they have broken a couple of civil rights. Losers thats what these cops are.
Thier idiots
How could an officer lose qualified immunity when Ashville police completely support what he has done? An officer's behavior is completely dictated by what he learns from training and department common practices.
I honestly feel like most people probably aren't that great at their jobs. They half care and maybe aren't as informed as they could be. These same people are police, too, but the stakes and consequences are just so much greater. It's weird perhaps that we expect so much from them when most places are probably in need of anyone willing. It's not like they have degrees in policing. Most places the barriers to entry aren't much.
Another unbelievable WTF head-shaker. Cops pulling a gun on a car? In what universe did they have any right to stop, question, cuff, and threaten to taze him? Please sue these disgusting psychopaths. Resonable suspicion of what crime? Can you imagine the probable cause hearing of the crime spree committed by this criminal janitor? This would be laughed out of court. By the way, what car uses a key these days? I am guessing the combined IQ of these cops is 100. Do you know why cop across America are out of control? They know they are almost untouchable due to qualified immunity, unions, corrupt departments, and AGs. They enjoy violating your rights. Unfortunately, far too many of them and their leaders are dumb as rocks. HELP!!!!
You don’t have to talk to police you have the right to be silent
Trump promises more of the same.
((1)) “We're going to give our police their power back, and we are going to give them immunity from prosecution." – Republican POTUS Donald Trump, campaign speech May 2024, Waukesha, Wisconsin.
((2))“I’m also going to indemnify all police officers and law enforcement officials throughout the United States from being destroyed by the radical left for taking strong action on crime.” —Trump speaking at a campaign events in Waterloo, Iowa, December 19, 2023
😂😂😂
This is one of my favorite channels but I'll never agree with case law. It makes judges stupid and it has nothing to do with the constitution. Do they really need case law on this? They might because a judge might be to stupid to make up his own mind. You yourself have lost cases because of case law that you should have been able to win. I mean a girl got chewed up by a dog and you still lost because of no prior cases. Case law is F**KED up.
AS USUAL, CORRUPTION STARTING AT THE TOP AND DONE FLOWED DOWN ALL OVER THIS DEPARTMENT.
Sadly, one cannot even safely make a comment in the direction of the 🐖s without risking arrest. SAD, SMDH! 🐽
No they just wanted him to know they were in charge.
Remember police officers have always been criminals there's just too many cameras for them to hide their degenerate behavior not to mention more people now than ever know their rights and if you invoke your rights the police will hate you because that makes things difficult
Normal blue line gang bullsht and they wonder why they are not trusted
I do believee these two need to be locked up and treated like civilians because they sure were not acting like police officers.
Honestly this video just helps explain WHY this type of police work is so terrible. That man will NEVER approach and help an officer again. Anyone who see's this is going to feel the same way. Why would I step out of my way to help an officer if it's just going to lead to something like this? Some random stranger walks up to you and asks why your looking at a lady's car and then walks away when you claim its stolen just means he doesn't want to be involved. And he's clearly NOT. Hell anyone with half a brain cell can see his janitor uniform… Its sad though that its encouraged and being shown as the "Standard". They should be honestly ashamed that they thought this was an example of good police work. This is more like a "what did the officers do wrong here?" skit for a training course on how to be a police officer that these officers clearly need.
Yeah, we have investigated ourselves yada yada yada.
I keep thinking they can’t get any dumber but hfb these 2 are dumber than keystone cops and their department should be disbanded immediately if these are their finest.
GREAT channel, especially recently. Just doing some excellent work and selecting interactions that have so many fascinating elements.
The unnecessary loud beeps make these videos unwatchable.
when are these damn judges going to start charging cops with all these crimes that they commit… no more qualified immunity bullshit, its sad, that this type of thing keeps happening.
