2. So, the open carry laws for a knife or gun (which is legal in Texas) are negated by people calling the police and saying they are scared! I don't get it. Is it because the knife is fake? If he had a real bloody knife it would have been okay? And I don't get why the police drew their guns on him, put him in handcuffs and arrested him, for either a fake knife or a real knife. The Michael Myers costume not only doesn't give alarm, it's amusing!

3. Our neighborhood has a party around Halloween at the neighborhood park. People walk to the park dressed in costumes. One year I went as a viking with a 4-ft sword and an ax, another year as the grim reaper with a scythe. I guess I should count myself lucky I wasn't arrested.😂😂😂

4. Given how many people in texas carry guns, i find this arrest even more stupid.

5. I can understand and realize the concern especially if the view is from further away and they just seeing a masked man standing on the beach with a knife that is a safety concern for potential beachgoers and all so I don't disagree with police arriving but I feel like arresting should be a last resort depending on the circumstances because I feel like they should've spoken with the person especially if the person was peaceful and obeyed orders and such.

6. I’m sorry, but what this man did was very poor judgement. To walk around in a public place with what looks like a bloody knife, how do you not expect people to freak out and call the cops? And it wasn’t even October yet, so how can you expect a reasonable person to know that it’s for Halloween? He doesn’t deserve an A.

7. Oh I'd forgotten that we don't get qualified immunity. We can't use ignorance of the law but the police use it all of the time

8. I thought it was funny he got sand all over the cop car!

9. Ha ha

10. Man , cops are simply stupid
    … ✌🏻🙄✌🏻

11. Not ro mention, he dressed in as well known horror killer near Halloween. It is part of a culture most Americans can identify. 1a protected.

12. This defense attorney will be serving some time in prison!😊😊 pretending to be Mike Meyer is a felony offense! 😮

13. Seems to me that if anyone should be responsible for knowing the laws, it should be the people responsible for enforcing the laws.

14. wtf?

    they determine he's just a guy in acostume with a TOY knife – that should be it

    'oooh, okay…you're a bit odd…have a good day!'

15. 😂 hindsight

16. The attorney is a saint!

17. .

18. These are about the dumbest cops I've seen on all these videos. 🥴

19. How difficult is it to just say to the man that he can't do this, take his toy knife and call it a day?

20. We're expected to simply know through osmosis every aspect of every law that has ever been written, however it's illegal to impersonate a lawyer because the average citizen can't be expected to study and retain the nearly decade's worth of study it takes to properly understand the law.

    Yeah that sounds about right.

21. Legality aside, that guy is a narcissist with no meaning in his life

22. They only let him go because he is an attorney.

23. All citizens are presumed to know the law? Then why does it take years to become a lawyer?

24. We have a local Michael Myers…. Springfield Aliens, weedless please help….and a couple others and yet none of them are on body cams in cuffs🧐

25. Citizens can't get away with making a mistake of law, but cops, who uphold it, and should definitely know it better than the average citizen, can be? Fuck qualified immunity.

26. I’ll say it here again cops should be held to a HIGHER standard than citizens since they are empowered by the government. Qualified immunity is a built in guarantee they will be worse at their job because they can be.

27. People get panicked and alarmed when the self-checkout station doesnt work this is such a BS argument from the cops.

28. We really need to get police out of this guilty until innocent mentality.

29. Walking around with a real gun= that's okay

    Walking around during the Halloween season dressed as MICHAEL MYERS and brandishing a rubber knife= menace.

    And Americans wonder why the world face-palms at them. Lucky he wasn't in Florida, he would probably be sent to ADX Florence.

30. This is one that I think the cops were okay on it due to the fear his prank caused and many calls in to their department. Lawyer or not, the unusual behavior seems odd of a grown adult. Needs evaluation.

31. Ive seen the movies. If i were the officer I'd say "nope, he'll just get back up when I look away. We'll let the sherrif handle it."

32. Certainly interesting that citizens are expected to know the minutia of law, when, just due to the overwhelmingly large bodies of laws alone, even seasoned attornies are not always on the same page with regards any given action, and its lawfulness or illegality. Consider the amount of information in just the federal tax law.

    The idea that persons "are presumed to know and understand the law, except minors, persons who lack mental capacity to contract with others, and, in criminal cases, persons who are insane. There are, however, a few other rare exceptions to this general rule." certainly seems fallacious, especially when officers ostensibly trained in the APPLICATION of that law, so frequently make mistakes.

    I would submit that the point is to keep the public literally in the dark, as it benifits the legal profession in many ways. "QUIS CUSDODIET IPSOS CUTODES?" The legal profession? The judiciary who certainly make their own mistakes, especially at the levels of municipal courts, and district courts. Rarely does a judge affirmatively intervene for an arrestee in a municipal court, as their main purpose is to generate revenue for the courts.

33. This lawyer lives in fantasy land if he thinks that that is in appropriate thing to do. I wonder how many people had to alter What they were doing or where they wanted to go just because he was there. He used up valuable police resources during a time of emergency, What a moron!

34. Citizens are more knowledgeable than police now. 🙂 what a world. 😊

35. I can't stand 🐷🐷🐷🐷

36. As a tropical storm approaches and people are trying to ready their homes and families for possible power outages etc this dope decides to pull a prank like that. While I appreciate that it is his legal right, there is no way he felt this would alleviate the doom and gloom and he stated. While the officers may have not used a lot of common sense in charging him, as an educated attorney he used even less.

37. Guns drawn over a knife alone on the beach 😂😂😂😂 these cops are incredibly stupid

38. ….this is so stupid. Sorry, but police suck

39. This abuse of authority, will go with out consequence as usual, they will just say oops, and everbody will go oh ,thats ok then corrupt system.

40. If the cop can interpret any situation any way they want. They can opress all your rights, any time.what the hell are they gonna do on holloween. Theae efen people make me wanna puke,. Its cleaarly about money, and ticketing for profit.Canada might be worse then the states. Im definatly seeing a major abuse of authority inare country.

41. And these crimes they commited against this guy will go like this, oh it was a miss comunication. Ohthats ok then. Sikening.

42. Im noticing this lawyers vidieos seem to be changing along with his perspective, curious.

43. Honestly, I think the Officers did their job correctly, and honestly deserve a little higher grade then a C-, in todays age its difficult to tell if someone is sane or not, even if they are dressing for Halloween prank videos.

    Sure he was in his right to dress up, but that doesn't mean that a Officer doesn't have probable rights to detain that person for however long they wish to do so, I know that may sound old school, but bigger cities have the highest suspicious activity compared to a small town or small city.

44. Police wear their costumes all day and night. They go around scaring people with actual deadly weapons. A majority of them are indeed deranged and no doubt guilty of disorderly conduct at some point or another.

    Hypocrisy

45. WELL IF HE THINKS IT'S FAIR THEN GO WITH IT AND DON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT!!!

46. IN MY OPINION AS THE DECADES PASS THE CALLS TO 911 SEEM TO GET MORE STUPID!!! WTF???

47. IF THEY CAN SEE SO CALLED BLOOD 9N THE KNIFE THEN THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE A HALLOWEEN MASK AND THE KNIFE IS FAKE!!!
