Bodycam catches cop planting drugs on innocent people

[baseline bum]

Cops like that are the reason why I have a dashboard cam in my car. Also never let a cop check your car. Better to get detained then a set up like this.

True, but they'll just get the ing dog and signal it to act like it found something and there's the probable cause.

Real talk if they're that cheap I'm getting one. I've had two incidents when cops were huge assholes...once when I unbuckled my seatbelt as a passenger after a friend was pulled over and the asshole claimed he saw me without it the whole time. Threatened to arrest me if I didn't sign the ticket when I wanted to state my case. Another an asshole wanted to go through my car, when I told him he had no reason to and declined he says 'we can do this the easy way or I can call for the dogs to sniff around'...and by that he meant have another cop come and bring out a dog since he didn't have one. I tried to see if he was bull ting so I said 'go ahead and call them' but gave in after a couple mins since I was on my way to work. Obviously didn't have anything in my car.

those lower level traffic cops. They're the scrubs of the police force tbh.

Looking back on it, those fools were clearly looking for a drug related arrest and profiled me, tbh.

well, you have to sign the ticket just to acknowledge receiving it. its not an admission of guilt to sign it, you can always contest the ticket in court. signing the ticket just means you acknowledge being charged and you are released. if you dont sign it, they'd arrest you and formally charge you for the ticket at the station. so there's never a point in refusing to just sign a ticket. typically, if you're a dude, they're not gonna let you off with a warning. best thing to do is to say almost nothing. if he asks "do you know why i pulled you over" just say no officer. if he says "i saw you werent wearing your seatbelt" just say ok officer. say almost nothing except yes, ok. make the ticket as forgettable and least memorable as possible, so if you do decide to contest it in court, the officer wont actually remember from the encounter and you can demonstrate he doesnt have specific memory of what happened that day

as for the search, they cant hold you for an unreasonable amount of time just to wait for another unit with dogs to eventually show up. so if theres a unit like right around the corner and he's gonna hold you for 2-3 minutes, no problem. but if they have to summon one from the station and its gonna take them 15-20 minutes, they cant do that

did they give a reason for why they wanted to search your car? smell, appearance, anything? they still need PC to search a car.

Our cons ution is a ing joke when the fourth amendment is rendered moot by a dog trained to jump when the officer gives a hand signal being probable cause for what would otherwise be unlawful searches. Or when cops can seize assets by claiming it's drug involved and they never have to prove .

That's the point of the dog.

Claimed he smelled weed which was bull . I was dumb enough to let friends smoke in my car from time to time when I was young and stupid, but it's not like the smell lingers around for weeks. I never really smoked.

Didn't know they only had a couple minutes. It was definitely at least 5 mins before I just gave in because I didn't want to be late for work.

Philo, shouldn't the "smell" have been enough for him to be able to search if he truly smelled something? I think the got was just taking advantage of me and looking for ways to pressure me into giving consent for a search because I was so young and didn't know any better.

right, but they cant detain you (not let you drive off) for an unreasonable amount of time just to bring a dog in

technically. but they often times do.

in theory, yes.

but they often times will want a dog to "confirm" it because maybe he's not really trained to detect marijuana. the officer would have to be familiar enough with the scent to consider it PC. if he's just some traffic cop he might lack the expertise or experience in identifying contraband by his own scent alone.

but yeah, if an officer smells weed (in a state where it's illegal) it gives him PC to search anywhere in the car where weed is likely to be found (basically the whole thing). on the other hand, if he pulled you over and you/your car matched the description of somebody who stole a 50 inch tv, he might have PC to search your car, but again, only in places where a 50 inch tv can be found (so not your glove box, in that instance). with drugs... they can basically look wherever they want because they're so small they can fit anywhere

I've had my run in w/ crooked cops.. heartless mother ers. We were hemmed up right outside a friends apt. w/ some BCSO warrant officers with nothing better to do(apparently setting up their own "drug stings"), and all they could say was "you're in a dope zone we can do whatever the we want here" - and all we truly did was arrive home about 2 am in a north side apartment complex with average rent of about 1300.00 a month Jacked us up, got cuffed and pushed over to the ground unable to protect from the fall, car illegally searched, all that ..

Luckily my friends buddy heard the commotion and called down to these crooked gots and told them they were full of and that a SAPD Sergeant was on his way to investigate the issue. This ing bull and her got ass partner took off quick and left us in the hands of some SAPD who took over having no idea what we were even there for..

Follow KSAT.com for a few weeks and you will see how crooked BCSO truly is, it has to be one of the worst departments in Texas.
