Office states, “I dont have probably cause”.
The police broke the law around 10:00. Without reasonable cause, they can not detain the men for longer than the initial purpose for the stop. The officer clearly “delays” long enough for the K9 unit to show up. And the driver is removed and ‘searched’. This is clearly unconstitutional. “Traffic stops have to be reasonably short, and unless there is reasonable suspicion of some other crime, officers can’t use the stop as a subterfuge for extraneous investigation” – U.S. Supreme Court (Rodriguez v. US).
These are straight up narcotic/drug cops literally out on the streets to catch drug dealers and drug traffickers. The problem is they are not traffic cops and thats why these officers are sourcing for those minor traffic violations so they can make the stop and force themselves into a situation where they potentially find drugs, The really problem is that this war on drugs isn’t working and has never worked because these cops are simply violating peoples rights while in the hunt for drugs. They profile each and every person they see driving past them or beside them in hopes to see someone who fits what they believe to be a drug dealer or user. And thats just wrong. This kind of policing isn’t working, all it does is jam up are court rooms with tons an tons of minor traffic violations but at the heart of this corrupt way of policing is tons of citizens getting abused and taken around the ringer all for simply fitting the profile.

I am a former sworn deputy, and today watching this kind of “police work”, I am glad. I don’t know what mindset is being taught at academies now, but watching what used to be an honorable profession, turn into a real life police state job where the ‘police’ seem to have forgotten the REASON they took an oath, makes me sick. And the flippant title to this video, “Don’t consent to a search? That’s cool, here doggy..” is right down that alley. This is an ABUSE of the badge worn. You are not there to “FIND or invent” crime. You are there to uphold the law, assist citizens and defend the Constitutional rights of ALL people. I am getting sick and tired of watching some in the profession I enjoyed, destroy the very thing I was honored to do after leaving the military. You want to know why the sentiment is turning AGAINST the police? THIS video and more and more coming out each day, is why. Those of you acting in this manner are turning this country into a full on police state and that is against everything you swore to not do or allow.
