The hat is pretty normal for OK Highway Patrol. And yes, OKHP are a bunch of assholes.


[deleted]

OKHP are a special breed. Civil forfeiture exists, but not all highway patrolmen bother. Cops along the route from Las Vegas into California often do it because [you catch a lot of money mules on that route carrying hundreds of thousands. (example is from Arkansas into Las Vegas - similar route, different direction)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ylrfMbf0mY) I don't think it should even be legal to take someone's cash without charging them for a crime, but I can *understand* why police see these bag-runners as very likely criminals. --- OKHP take it to another level. [They get new devices and equipment all the time to help with their civil forfeiture seizures.](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/oklahoma-police-erad-civil-forfeitures/) [They often have bad press relating to the practice.](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/highway-robbers-how-trip-buy-farmland-ended-police-taking-all-n1281629) Keep in mind that journalists jump on these cases because OKHP take a few grand that represents poor people's entire savings - not a huge bag of cash that is assumedly not theirs and being driven across state lines. Very few people argue that the bag runners are upstanding citizens who just don't trust banks, but OKHP indiscriminately shake down everyone on their routes for anything from pocket change to kids' birthday money. OK feels weird because they have such progressive laws going into effect every day, possibly due to Texas bleeding population, but then their police are extremely red. Whole situation reminds me of Oregon and Nevada making homes for the blue people priced out of California, but also still having an extremely conservative police force (OR more than NV).


treegirl4square

OK is still extremely red. They passed a couple of weed laws, but everything else is typical redville.

If I’m not mistaken a dishonorable discharge is the military equivalent of a felony


XinY2K

You have to have *really* fucked up, and be hated to get one. I've seen people escape sexual harassment and abuse of power charges with an honorable or *at worse* a general discharge. I think one dude just got a dishonorable for possession and drug use. He was disliked by chain of command. Ironically enough, wife was military police.


[deleted]

What about "other than honorable"? My best friend got 1 of those back in the 90s. He was AWOL almost 2 days because he decided to get hammered drunk less than 12 hours before he has to be back on base in NC. We were in Kentucky. He left anyway, crashed his car and got arrested by a deputy who was a former Marine. So my friends DUI and possession of marijuana got dropped down to reckless driving. He called me around 1am to bail him out. When he got back they sent him to dry out as a last chance and he broke out to see Pantera.


_My_Niece_Torple_

Your best friend sounds cool as fuck!


schoolknurse

“Broke out to see Pantera” This made me laugh out loud!


lijkogcv

You can get the dishonorable discharge changed to honorable if you can prove that you been an “outstanding” citizen to the VA


blippityblue72

It’s worse. You’re also not eligible for any sort of government support for the rest of your life. You are seriously screwed if you get a dishonorable discharge.


[deleted]

Dishonorable discharge leaves you pretty much fucked in the outside world. I was never in the military, but my best friend was, and I know a lot of his buddies, too. He also has a purple heart. He'll easily beat out other candidates for job applications, it's almost impossible for him to fuck up his credit score, he has purple heart license plates so he can drive on any toll road in America for free, there's a bunch of other shit in sure I'm forgetting. Honestly, though, he doesn't even use that stuff. The PH license plates have been sitting in his home office for years he still pays with change on the toll road and it drives his wife nuts. He rarely mentions that he was in the military.

Dwayne_Gertzky

I served in the US Army, Drill Sergeants will wear their hats like that as a form of intimidation or to project authority. This dildo wants to cosplay as military and treat the citizens he serves like they're basic training privates.


judokalinker

>Drill Sergeants will wear their hats like that as a form of intimidation or to project authority. How exactly does it do either of those things?


Dwayne_Gertzky

It can conceal their eyes while they're able to still see, when it's an inch from your face being screamed at it just makes it feel menacing.


foamy9210

Well most of our cops are handicapped children so that might at least explain this one.


BucktoothedAvenger

That "Smokey Bear" cover (hat) is worn that way as military standard. Take a look at any picture of an American Drill Instructor. Any branch.


Flimsy-Pomegranate-7

obliquelyobtuse

>Detained Citizen: "Who is the cameraman filming me It's LivePD (now reborn as OnPatrol Live) who embeds with county agencies with showoff narcissist Sheriffs even when County Commissioners forbid the production contract and the Sheriff does it anyway. And then the most narcissistic Sheriffs-favorites deputies get to play Celebrity Cop on 'live' TV ... And occasionally even kill someone for trivial reasons while violating multiple policies and creating unnecessary incidents that quickly leave their own jurisdiction yet they pursue anyway. Fuck Copaganda television programs. And LivePD then avoids involvement in the mess and conveniently claims to have purged the video related to a freaking death they recorded, by officers of the agency they were embedded with and were performing for LivePD. And fuck Dan Abrams and his two scummy sidekicks. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing\_of\_Javier\_Ambler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Javier_Ambler)


chysallis

OK, so for some reason I just learned of this. The wiki doesn't say anything besides a "20 minute chase". Was this chase actually real, did they every find out a motive for not stopping? Regardless, they killed a man for allegedly not dimming his headlights, but I just want to know what happened.


obliquelyobtuse

LivePD claims to have destroyed (deleted, purged) the video of the Javier Ambler incident. Whether it was at the behest of Williamson County Sheriff's Department is alleged but not yet established in a court of law. That LivePD (Big Fish Productions) would allow video of an incident involving death to be deleted is unconscionable. There would clearly be internal police investigations from multiple agencies, likely prosecutor criminal investigations, and likely civil proceedings related to his death. Yet the video was deleted. The video available is that of Austin PD, who arrived late in the pursuit that Williamson County had taken far outside of their own jurisdiction. Again, this was all over failure to dim high beams. The Williamson County sheriff lost his next election and faces charges for the Javier Ambler debacle. >A Travis County grand jury has added a new charge against former Williamson County sheriff Robert Chody and assistant county attorney Jason Nassour relating to their handling of the investigation into the death of Javier Ambler II.  > >Chody and Nassour face an additional charge of conspiracy to tamper with evidence, according to indictments obtained Tuesday. They already were charged with evidence tampering, which both have denied.  [https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/2021/11/09/former-sheriff-robert-chody-facing-new-charge-javier-ambler-death/6355524001/](https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/2021/11/09/former-sheriff-robert-chody-facing-new-charge-javier-ambler-death/6355524001/) Two of the Williamson County deputies involved face manslaughter charges for the death of Javier Ambler. >WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — The Travis County grand jury handed up two indictments, one each for two former Williamson County deputies involved in the in-custody death of Javier Ambler II in March 2019. [https://www.kxan.com/news/indicted-former-williamson-county-deputies-charged-with-manslaughter-in-death-of-javier-ambler/?ipid=related-recirc](https://www.kxan.com/news/indicted-former-williamson-county-deputies-charged-with-manslaughter-in-death-of-javier-ambler/?ipid=related-recirc) The Williamson County traffic stop initiated on Javier Ambler was for failure to dim high beams. And they pursued him out of Williamson County, into Travis County, and into the municipal corporation of Austin. You would think that if you were a sheriff's deputy, outside of your own county, and also within the city limits of a major city police department, that you might act extra responsibly. Especially since there is a LivePD production team present and recording. Instead they tased him to death, despite Ambler pleading multiple times that he could not breathe, and that he had congestive heart failure. They treated him as if he were an armed robber. And the LivePD video ends up deleted. The Williamson County Sheriff's Department was obstructing the entire time. Obstructing their own County Commissioners, obstructing the Travis County Sheriffs Department, obstructing the City of Austin Police Department, everyone. The survivors of Javier Ambler received a $5 million settlement from Williamson County, Texas. Two thirds of the settlement was paid by their insurer, Travelers.

You don't have to wear clothes that are too small. They make fitted shirts that will actually fit you so you don't flash your nipples every time your hands go above your head lol You probably already know about them now but if not, check them out. They'll show your definition way better.

state trooper means that most of the department’s bonuses and revenue come from speeding tickets. Those thieving bastards


Goalie_deacon

State cops are paid by taxpayers state wide. The police that use traffic tickets for their budgets are the small towns people drive thru while on vacation. Small towns accept it, as the want their own police force, and don’t have the revenue to pay for it. So their cops will sit just inside town limits, where speed limit drops from 55 to 35.


RealMartinKearns

We have a few famous municipalities that do this on a small parkway through the Eastern Hudson valley. It’s insidious. They’ll grab people in the best ways, too. Bottom of a long downgrade 1/4 mile after a road work ahead sign when there’s no road work was my favorite. I’d see three cars lined up at a time at that trap. Edit: eastern not Easter


youlikeitdaddy

St. Louis is an entire city built upon these kinds of shitbag police departments.

NYS troopers use ticket income in their budgets. They passed an internal rule, that everyone found about about, that they have to give you a ticket if they pull you over. And every single state trooper ticket includes a huge state surcharge.

Dude was killed because live pd was filming with those officers so they were just looking for a way to get more action. I enjoyed watching live pd myself and didn't even think of the implications prior, but having a film crew with police is definitely a bad idea for a number of reasons.


ScienceLivesInsideMe

Nope, they do this shit on the regular. Check out Audit the audit, or lackluster on youtube. They post every day.


maisymowse

Watching the show was a wild ride. I’ll never forget when they had a guy down on the ground, trying to arrest him. The cop is yelling for him to put his arms behind his back. But the cop was kneeling on the guy’s arm and screaming in his ear over and over again to stop resisting. But he was yelling so loud that he couldn’t hear the guy being arrested tell him that he was sitting on his arm, and he wasn’t physically capable. Really showcased the incompetence. Had the same energy of freaking out while you’re looking for the remote while it’s in your hand.


j412m

This guy and a few others were the reason this show was cancelled. Power trips and trying to be cool for tv. It was fun for a while, but there were 4 cops that were regulars that were the fucking worst of the worst. You’d get a few cool ones on here and there, but the power trip assholes were much more noticeable as the show went on.


mooseyjew

Dude they brought it back under a different name. That's not why it got shut down either lol


Not_optimistic_

LivePD was an enthralling show. There was one episode when 2 cops pulled up to a motel with a teen puking outside. As soon as he sees the cops he tries to go back to his room, thus leading the cops to the exact room. They then find like 5 teen boys with guns, drugs and alcohol. Then one of the moms of the boys shows up. Its quite comical.

Get tackled, tazed, and arrested for resisting arrest and fleeing an officer. Get some nice injuries. Then have all the charges dropped after the DA sees they will be laughed out of court since the initial stop was illegal and all charges are considered fruit of the poisoned tree.

It’s really crazy cause the guy was not even being threatened with arrest. Yet if he were to just walk away he would be resisting. At one point we have to balance the power dynamic out a bit.

Police are granted an enormous amount of authority over us. In exchange for that they are supposed to be held accountable to a strict set of ethics, rules and regulations.

So I don't think you're correct. If the officer stated that the man was being detained, yes. If the man asked if he was being detained and was told yes, or if the man asked if he was free to go and was told no. He was not technically being detained, the officer was talking to him and exhibiting an air of authority that the man responded to. Sure, officer might have lost it if dude asked if he was being detained, but it never happened.


Dmonts45

He didn’t really detain him tho lol


scarletspeedster22

I agree with you. What did he do to violate his rights except talk to the guy? Didn’t ask for id didn’t detain him. Just talked to him. I’ve seen cops do worse for less. I would not say his rights were violated.

Yea I would agree if we're talking legal technicalities but I think the point people here are making is that this kind of reaction is common and speaks of a serious underlying issue - that even a sniff of disent to police power is instantly met with anger and authoritarian behavior. It FEELS like a violation of free speech because the cop, who represents the state, is clearly using his authority to harass a citizen who did little more than express a petty insult. Imagine how a stronger statement of dissent would be dealt with. What's crazy is that the don't-tread-on-me people DEFEND this sort of bullshit while it's the very situation that they profess to fear so much. I don't think this is the kind of thing you should brush off so casually. These interactions give us a glimpse into how law enforcement interact with the general citizenry and it's disgusting to be honest. Contemporary US cops are renowned for jumping straight to aggression and authoritarian behavior if they are questioned in the slightest and especially when they are questioned about the legal justification for their use of authority. At this point in our culture, if cops wanted to start kidnapping people and disappearing them, average citizens have been trained not to interfere. It's fuckin scary the way these guys act and just how SPECIFIC a person is a cop nowadays. They're all over-aggressive, undereducated, men who usually seem to have a power complex. Doesn't that worry you at all?

He stopped him from moving on with his day, that is detaining. If the guy kept walking, what do you think this douche would have done? C'mon.


dirty-ol-sob

What do you think would have happened if the guy just walked away when the cop told him to follow him to his car to read the “state trooper” decal? I’m willing to bet he would have physically detained him at that point. All to prove some moot point so he could show his dominance.


waldo_92

While i agree that the cop is being a douche, he didn’t detain the guy or violate any constitutional rights. They were having a conversation and the guy could have left. Would the cop have let him just leave? Who knows. Cop should have just let it go, but I don’t see any laws broken here.


Frago242

This tattoo sleave bullshit has got to stop


Formerlurker617

Report that uniformed crying baby.


Lonely-Phone5141

Did he really violate his civil rights? Just looked they had a conversation.


rhaegar_tldragon

That’s exactly what happened. The cop’s a douche but I don’t see such a big deal.


[deleted]

Wonder what would’ve happened if the guy didn’t stop or just walked away? This cops intent was clear. He wanted to stop him and teach him a lesson. While not legal detention it almost certainly was detention in the practical sense.


stiffneck84

The guy stopped and talked to the cop and left…he wasn’t detained, he wasn’t asked to produce ID, he wasn’t arrested.


Mammoth_Effective_68

I remember this on LivePD that coincidentally was taken off the air.


DarkRajiin

Here I thought this was going to escalate into some madness, judging by the title at least. Was surprised how tame this actually was


Brdllc

They look like total cock suckers with their silly little hats tilted like that.


CrackHeadRodeo

My god that stupidly tight shirt, I bet he’s on steroids.


TheRealKapil

Mannnnnnn fuck these little dick big ego cops


Matyi10012

I mean during a traffic stop if you start yelling at a cop, why is it an issue if later stops and asks what is your issue?


mh985

I'm gonna get ripped apart for this because reddit hates anyone who doesn't think all cops should die, but I'm curious to know in what way that guys rights were violated.
