Today’s story brings us back to The Natural State, where some background information may be necessary to understand what’s going on.
Arkansas Code § 16-93-106 states that a person who is placed on supervised probation or released on parole is required to agree to a waiver as a condition of his or her supervised probation or parole that allows any law enforcement officer or Department of Community Correction (“DOCC”) officer to conduct a warrantless search of his or her person, place of residence, or motor vehicle at any time, day or night, whenever requested by the law enforcement officer or DOCC officer.
The law requires that any warrantless search conducted based on a waiver must be conducted in a “reasonable manner” but does not require that it be based on an articulable suspicion that the person is committing or has committed a criminal offense.
Signing such a waiver is required in order to be eligible for supervised probation or parole.
(In case you are confused about what Officer Cole Reppond was pleasantly surprised to find on Bill, the answer is “Nothing.”)

Breaking the law to catch lawbreakers is what today’s cops call police work FTP
For some reason when he got frustrated with the computer it reminded of that one office freak out where the guy starts punching his keyboard and throws it all than his co worker in the next cubicle peeks over. Lol.
Totally legit and legal search.
This cop is awesome. glad to see this video
I always forget to "like" these videos. So here is my shameless plug for the channel (not sponsored) "Please like this video and and subscribe if you want to see more videos like this!" For the LULZ!
Officer: checks the flashlight
Me: Oh shit I'd never have thought of that.
But for real, if Bill was trying to quit cold turkey I bet that having cops search you and find nothing was great for keeping his morale up. That's an invisible struggle he's fighting.
The cops could’ve put stuff back into proper place after searching. They’re not allowed to ransack. Have some respect
Those cops were country as shit. I live in texas and never heard a southern accent like the two of them officers had 😂
3/2 he's my birthday buddy
This war on drugs BS needs to stop. Leave the man alone and go out and actually stop some bad guys who are doing harm to others. I don't even know why we claim we live in the land of the free. I guess if we are told it's the land of the free enough times, we actually start believing it, regardless of nonsense like this.
I hope bill is still doing okay!! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸
Damn he say search waiver – they have a period of time they can search ppl without cause ? That’s nuts esp if they served their time …
Damn… i sat here watching the whole thing hoping they would find something. Good for him tho
This is so wholesome.
Officer Ashton Kutcher is on the case
Its not warrantless honestly if he was on parole or probation
What’s sad is this title is an attempt to make good cops look bad.
Stash was hidden in the coffee mug!
Laws are laws but this is not the guy endangering the community. Way to many major violent crimes going on wasting resources on a guy doing paperwork in his work truck
Arkansas stays on this… yay? lol
F'n computers!
Watching too much porn on that computer
1:40 The officer rides a tiny horse back to his cruiser… listen!
End the evil war on drugs.
if it were me, and I were being recorded all the time, i would be cracking jokes to the camera.
I hope Officer Reppond got some tums for this shift. This is the second video i've seen of him and his partner. They were the ones who found the guy with the defaced gun and treated him with respect and ultimately let him go after a stern warning to never pickup guns off the street and NOT take them immediately to the police.
hummmm warrantless is a broad term in this instance, it seems the gentlemen pulled over has probations about possession of drugs, that gives the police limited authority to search someone and their immediate possessions in certain areas. now to figure out if in this particular place they do.
Prayers to those who are still kicking the cold turkey
good luck to you bill, im rooting for you to get clean ðŸ‘
Violence and tech never mix!
One thing i respect about cops is the care if youre clean,its just nearly immposible,fent
Thank you for exposing this horrible behavior. People need to know their 4th amendment rights and call the officers out if they are disobeying
Doesn’t matter if it’s warrantless?? So why put it in the title? The driver consented to the search..
he probably hid it well, lol theres so many places in a car cops dont search
You don't have to be an OG to know how to hide it. I was a master of hiding stuff before I even had my DL.
Note to self , if riding dirty, be sure not to appear poor or black .
Though it isn't necessarily implied otherwise by the title, this is a legal warrantless search. Good feller, hope he manages to stay clean.
Imagine all the ACAB people who see the title and click hoping to feed their "thugs with badges" appetite, only to see it's a probationee who agreed to be searched at any time.
Look how there letting him go because hes white. Wtf
Whoever blanked out his year of birth missed the 3 following times it was said. haha. His record is public anyway.
Amazin! FTA warrant and drives home. Ahhh the blessings of paleface.
See, the magic is hitting the laptop at least three times, then click your heels and say, “There’s No Place Like Home.†Works for me every time.
It was warrantless but not illegal. Huge difference. Not every search requires a warrant.
Yeah he just treats the cops good and dont scare them or give em any shit and look how it goes down.. I do the same exact thing and there usually as cool to u as u are to them. It's pointless to mess with them guys. Just get your ticket and get gone boys
He has a warrent and they gave him a ticket.. holy crap asshole.. never me boy..they see I got a warrent and its over..every time
Soon as a cop sees your on probation they go H.A.M on your ass. They just violate the shit out of your rights.. so dumb
If your on probation they can do anything they want…its scary
wife and kids know how computer feels.
Dude was a genuinely nice guy, I’m pulling for him to stay clean!
He had a search waver so no warrant was necessary
