This is Braden, a blue collar guy who saw a state trooper violating traffic laws in his small town of Rigby, Idaho. He’s considering making a complaint, because it’s a double standard. He snaps two photos of the cruiser so he could ID the officer in a complaint. But then the officer stops and detains him, accusing him of being a possible terrorist… forces him under threat of arrest to provide his ID, openly hoping he had a warrant; he then looks for his vehicle, hoping to find a reason – any reason – to take Braden to jail. When the trooper finds out Braden has a concealed weapon permit, he harasses him further, putting his hands behind his back and generously frisking Braden – again almost hoping for any reason to escalate the situation.
The trooper claims that even though he, as a police officer, gets to look into the windows of our vehicles, that we can’t do the same to a police vehicle. Because they’re special. Fortunately, Braden had a dash cam that captured the trooper’s driving, and additionally, there was a good cop there, who documented – with his bodycam – the trooper’s open and defiant retaliation against this citizen exercising his First Amendment rights to document police misconduct.

Big pussy ass cop
The pride of law enforcement
I always share videos on social media and tag the organization that's in the video. As well as email, whatever state office and maybe a thousands of us did that, it would put pressure on them to correct this behavio
Law enforcement EVERYWHERE seems so corrupt, institutionally but also full of corrupt/criminal employees. This is one facet of the authoritarian takeover of this country that has occurred right in front of us. We trust the authorities, they abuse that misguided trust, and here we are. FASCIST USA.
There are exactly ZERO "good c0ps"…period
Just double check the complaint and refiled, and then make sure you file a harassment complaint against the police in state court.

Do you know the factors the officer committed multiple criminal offenses. Every single thing that cop did was unlawful, crimes. Under local county city and or state laws as well federal laws under 18 USC 242. It was unprofessional using vulgarity and letting his ego do the most damage, and has no business wearing a badge. He needs to be prosecuted. I’m getting sick and tired of people saying, and they need to file a report and sue. They need to prosecute. Because everything this cop did was a crime! Unlawful means criminal! If I do suck my lawful I get arrested and prosecuted! Should be no damn different with a cop.
Nothing will happen that’s why there is lots of corruption in police departments
Even if he WAS armed, so what? Piggie already knew he has a permit…
Arrogant and emotionally immature cop with a Wyatt Earp mustache should never have a badge and certainly not a gun.
Just embarrassed a young man is smarter than him and couldn't stand the humiliation.
these clip are nice, but what happened to the cop for breaking the law? I understand he has qualified immunity, but why is he still working? He will do it again.
Not only is this guy on a power trip, he's armed. Oh and nothing will happen to him. The complaint process is just bullshit
Complaints are a joke. Go straight to the lawsuit.
Shoot these pigs
Typical tyrant like cops when they follow the law and not lazy actually patrolling not hiding under a oak tree for hours sleeping on tax payers money love when they put their lights on to go through red light then off so they can get home quicker and speed
Earning da BAGPIPESMUSIC
My God, we no longer live in a free country 😢. Cops need to be vetted better. Nobody needs A-hole cops like this terrorizing a nice neighborhood.
More untrustworthy unqualified pig cops breaking the law sue sue sue !
Who's this cop? Let's protest outside his HOUSE.
And you never will hear anything back. They don't care about us. Your complaint went in one ear and out the other as usual.
"CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT!!!"
🖕😠😡🤬😡😠🖕
Criminals with badges 😠 WTF Idaho 😮 shameful
Dumb cop breaking the law
Hey, look it’s Lieutenant dangle
Stop hiring high liability people. Law enforcement is a profession, hire trained professionals, they really need to be able to do more than fog up a mirror.
Cop has a problem. Not good!
My fellow Americans, the cops are NOT your friends.
Dude he is clearly not a member of your terrorist organization. He is not wearing the uniform, badge, or driving the same car as you so why did you think he was a terrorist??
aren’t terrorist usually dealt with via homeland security and the fbi or cia??? not some random city cop who is breaking laws
The police are the only terrorists in this situation….FTP!
Unprofessional corrupt joker with a badge
Cops that are arrogant pricks should be screened out and let go! Obviously that cop has a problem and good cops don’t need pricks like him causing hatred towards them.
No keep making complaints we have to start and keep our own national data base for complaints on these officers that way there's a track record weather they like it or not
This is why a cop's only friend is another cop. Who else would want these people in their life?
You should of used his second amendment the real terrorist is that piggy in a uniform
I don’t trust cops in Idaho I had a state trooper follow me for 15 miles then he pulled me over for going 47 going down hill in a 45. We were getting passed by others before he pulled me over. He thought I had weed from the Montana dispensary but when I was looking for my insurance info he got to see in my center console and glove compartment so I think he realized he’d have to get a k9 or warrant to find anything so he let me go
the term Terrorist was a horrifying can of worms we opened. Now its being applied to everything, just like critics of the term said would happen. Fuck this world.
Repeat after me. Cops are not friends.
The mayor hired this horrible cop because he sees his citizens as victims, and with you having to fight this piece of crap. The mayor can make you the biggest victims.
As I have said before, ACAB !!! 😮
