Officers SUED For Vehicle Search During Traffic Stop

1. Welcome back everyone! Who does the best audits on YouTube? Comment below.

2. No, blacks are NOT more likely to be killed than whites by cops. More whites are shot by cops than blacks. Placing a lie like that diminishes your credibility.

   That said, I hope this kid sues the locality for millions in punitive damages. I hope this 'officer' is fired. I hope that scam is dissolved.Cops are out of control. Looking back, I've had my rights violated numerous times when I was his age (and I'm white). I've had that phony 'license plate light' bullshit excuse used to pull me over way too many times. Those cops had ZERO reasonable suspicion about anything. And that dog walking through his vehicle? Don't get me going!

3. Profiling, by more IDIOT cops

4. Those cops are such a$$ holes.

5. I think that the jury in the civil trial will be judging the cop's attitude — not vice versa. The cop's sanctimonious speech will probably double the damage award.

6. LOUISVILLE, Ky. — There has been a settlement reached in a lawsuit where a former Louisville Metro Police (LMPD) officer violated a teenager's rights during a viral traffic stop in 2018.

   Tae-Ahn Lea, 18, was pulled over by officers for an improper wide turn in his mom's car.

   Judge Greg Stivers determined that former LMPD officer Kevin Crawford violated Lea's fourth amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure over a year after the initial stop.

   According to court documents, Crawford repeatedly asked if Lea had any weapons or drugs on him, which Lea denied.

   There was a baseball bat between the passenger seat and console, which an officer asked about and Lea said was a small souvenir Louisville Slugger.

   Crawford then opened the car's door and told Lea to exit the vehicle.

   The LMPD officer then frisked and handcuffed Lea while his vehicle was searched by K-9 and officers. Nothing illegal was found inside the car and he was issued a citation for the improper turn.

   The lawsuit, filed in 2019, argues Crawford unlawfully conducted a pat-down search of Lea, prolonging the traffic stop beyond its initial purpose, which Stivers agreed violated his fourth amendment rights.

   Stivers ruled that there was no reasonable suspicion of criminal activity that justified detaining Lea beyond the traffic infraction investigation.

   As part of the ruling, the judge dismissed the lawsuit against other officers named in the suit.

   Officials said the city is ordered to pay $375,000 to Lea — with his attorney confirming the settlement amount to WHAS11 News on Friday morning.

   While Crawford no longer works at LMPD, he was hired by Jeffersonville Police in 2019.

7. Keep giving racists a badge

8. Not oxymoronic, just moronic

9. How many times are they going to check him shet!

10. So… Young man is in hand-cuffs because one cop hasn't recovered from an incident from the prior day?

    Why is he working on this day?

    If you come to work (and you get paid), you're expected to be able to perform the tasks assigned…

11. Look at how many Damn times the searched him smh I have four boys one just turned 18 and it terrifies me Smh

12. The drug sniffing dog is a joke. They signal the dog to bark by snapping a finger or tapping their thigh.

13. They are also not allowed to search ghe inside of his pockets likd that either

14. Cop says he can't know who he is by looking at him in the car he doesn't know that he has scholarships Etc but you can assume that he's a criminal because he's a black kid driving in a nice car

15. This was absolutely 1,000% racial profiling

16. earning the hate,oath breakers and rites violators

17. I love how they broke down the statistics and showed how those cops are profiling

18. These cops are basically domestic terrorist.

19. When I am in a right tun, right lane situation, I don't reveal my intent via my turn signal. I let the opposing driver think I am going straight until the last instant so I can turn into EITHER lane unobstructed. Fair?!? No! Convenient?!? Yes…

20. America can not be the land of the free when you are stopped whilst driving for such trivial things, not indicator 200 yards from a turn, wide turn… etc just seems like a money making scheme and a way to get you to give up your info and search you

21. 👎

22. "wide right turn"…..ffs creeps with badges need to get a life if thats a "valid" reason to stop and harass someone

23. yeah its your fault citizen

24. whats the problem ahhh im cuffed for no reason stupid cop

25. pu$$y cops

26. Yo bring back the Supreme Court or court cases review back- who is this guy? I don’t want to hear you narrate, the audience wants to see the court case verdicts and court cases to support what is and what is not okay.

27. Since when are they allowed to let the dog into someone's vehicle without consent? I thought they weren't allowed to extend a stop for a dog to search and the dog could only sniff outside the vehicle.

28. Hes tells him about is hands and stands there all the time messing with hands that provoking to me

29. Why the negative view of police?. Is this cop really that stupid

30. What a great question!
    Want names ???

31. Maybe these tyrant ad littimus clowns just wanted to help this kid through law school to become a civil rights attorney!
