Eddie and his mom went to the Gadsden, Alabama, Walmart to pick up a pair of shoes. But a Karen security guard called the cops and requested that they trespass Eddie from the store. Even though Sgt. Unlu of the Gadsden Police Department admitted that Eddie had committed no crime, he wanted Eddie’s ID in order to provide his personal information to Walmart for purposes of a trespass notice. This is a common issue around the country. Is there a Walmart exception to the 4th Amendment, or does Eddie have any constitutional protections in this scenario?

So why didn't this woman get arrested for false reporting!!! These cops don't know the laws in there's states because your landlord needs to treaspping you not Walmart
The other officers standing there silently watching this insanity look like idiots.
I mostly shop on Amazon and a military base. I occasionally shop at Walmart and can count 6 in my area. Is a trespass for the one store or corporate?
Wamart must be giving The Blue line tyrants kickbacks!!!! Free gift cards … SOMETHING!
How dumb do you have to be to be a cop?
Femart! The company Walmart is funded and subsidized by Fema and the fed government. Period!
Cops know this after "disaster training " they will be prisons for a lot of citizens.
I feel like im living in the twilight zone where law enforcement is feelings inforcement. Theee are simple concepts that cops cant accept.
You have to fool through with lawsuits. Period. Or this is all for not.
Have of these cops used to play football college never made it to the NFL or the CFL or any other league
Could you imagine that “Dumb, Fat Looking, Stupid Cop” Telling you what to do???? I cannot stand being “Dumb-Splained” by ignorant people.
"We've had problems with homeless people" from Wal-Mart and the cops said they have people coming in all the time yelling and screaming and Eddie and his mother were not homeless and were also not yelling and screaming so LITERALLY all of this is bc that Karen is butthurt they didn't fully submit to her "authoritay" (like how Cartman says it…) and get needless questioning of them…
All of those people shouldn't have any kind of position of power at all…
Cops should be wary of people in handcuffs that are smiling.
All the history about the great people that used to live, that are killing our society. We don't need that anymore man. Unfortunately you know it's a fact that black people commit a disproportionately amount of murders, crimes disproportionately against every other race, Including their own. Nobody needs a history lesson. By the time you were born every kid was getting a trophy just for participating. I can definitely guarantee you don't like the 80/20 percent rule. I also understand we are a republic. I believe in the Constitution 100%. Nobody gets special privileges and nobody gets special treatment and everybody gets what they get when they break the law. That includes government employees or anybody that draws a check. I just can't hear drivel about minorities. There is no other country on this planet that has given minorities a bigger boost than America. Name one?
Cops across the country are indoctrinated with the belief that businesses have rights that supersede those of average citizens. It’s a “business first” mindset. Where did this come from? It feels feudal.
Funny how you all don’t have the same heat for people like GSP or Ronda or Conor…
My mind is still blown from one of your other videos where the cops call us Constitutionalists when describing us to each other. I’d have to ask them, aren’t you?! Aren’t you a constitutionalists just like me? We are not in a communist country as some of them seem to would have it! You’re right! Do they not enjoy the constitutional rights afforded them as well? Laws for me and not for thee has got to go in this country. They do whatever they want unless we push back. I’m so proud of your channel because when a wrong has been done, people on here make noise about it. Then we hear that something has been done with a tyrant who’s trampling our rights. Thank you for bringing these things to our attention. 🫶🏼
This sh t has to stop. Tyrants
Let them take you in . Nothing will stick. A small inconvenience for a moral victory
So if a Walmart employee doesn’t like you, they can trespass you for no reason. And the police will help them. How is this legal?
This POS cop needs civil rights training. Who gives a fuck what wakmart wants. Now you have a lawsuit.
You can go there just don’t take any videos
Police officer was fishing caugh because there no investigation them no criminal don't need require identification nope them need lawsuits
Lawsuit
Boycott Walmart it's grown into something bad! Buy online from anyone except Walmart and Amazon!
What a fantastic slam dunk set of lawsuits, thank God for camers. $$$ Coos, Walmart, and that lady personally. Chaaaching $$$
Set a spell. Take yer shoes off. Y'all come back now, y'hear?
It’s not that cops are stupid and don’t know the laws. They just don’t care because they are scumbags and psychopaths.
they don't want thinkers as police officers only drones that's why qualify immunity exist also why they hardly ever get in trouble even after they been proved wrong we all seen ago driven cops that's been exposed and even if somehow they do get fired they get picked up the next day by a different department its rigged against us they don't car about the constitution only the fat paychecks and pension
Gadsden P.D. f_cked up badly…
Without watching one second of the Video my first thought was "F" NO!!!? Walmart has no right to it!!!!!!!!!!
Someone should make a creepy town list and put this one at the top.
So he was arrested when he wasn’t even being detained. Failure to I.D is a secondary charge as well.
Gestapo were just a boy-scouts compared to this, they are not there to protect you, they are a corporation to protect others corporations
Officer should be FIRED and BANNED from any leo job ever.
The way that cop was bellowing with such aggressive rage in front of that little girl showed how little self-control he has. He esculated the situation with no self-control and lost his ever loving sh1t so fast. How can someone with that level of anger and lack of emotional control and stability be trusted with a gun an any authority in more tense situations? The answer is, he can't be trusted and is a liability.
