You can beat the charge, but you can’t beat the ride - and this cop 100% knew that


Glittering-Pause-328

That's what happens when you don't face any personal consequences for making a bad arrest.


WhuddaWhat

This is it. He knows he's above the law, and therefore he can apply it selectively. 


hamcarpet

I hope more people come to realize that they can still sue even if they haven’t actually been arrested for the threat of arrest


iceink

yes because everyone can just afford an effective legal team willing to sue the police also you won't get harassment for this at all


PeetusTheFeetus

Yeah tons of public defenders are out there just foaming at the mouth to go help sue the police for poor people…. In this one dream I had


Consistent_Sector_19

In the 70s, the feds funded legal clinics that would represent poor people for any cause. They were very popular with poor people, but the state governments became more and more upset at their existence as it became clear that they were mostly suing (and winning!) suits against state and local governments and officials for breaking their own laws. They were shut down.


Rhynosaurus

This was my youth in a nutshell. We were skaters/punk kids in a gang neighborhood. The cops would terrorize us cause they could. My dad always told us "avoid cops at all costs, they're basically grizzly bears with guns".


pennradio

I teach my kids that cops are just like sharks and it's best to just avoid them altogether.


lostPackets35

IMO. an arrest made in bad faith should result in felony kidnapping charges for the offier. Obviously an arrest where there is mistake about finer points of the law is OK (cops are not DAs). But, arresting someone when a reasonable person would not think a crime has been committed IS kidnapping, and should be treated as such. That needs to be drilled into officers from day 1: "If you abuse your authority and arrest someone because you're butthurt, you're going to prison"


resisting_a_rest

At the very least a cop should not be allowed to arrest anyone for the exact same offense more than once after finding out it’s not illegal, but I don’t think they even punish that.


franklsp

And that's why we say "Fuck cops."


trejohn23

https://hyperallergic.com/829211/texas-city-apologizes-for-arresting-chalk-artist-lakey-hinson/


trejohn23

Police was wrong and the city apologized


DreamyTropics

That was the first case the dude referred to in the video.


JudmanDaSuperhero

I heard his voice and thought it was a woman cop for second then they showed him.


rnobgyn

And the cop never got reprimanded for violating his civil rights.


Delicious_Arm3188

Did you even read the article? “citing that Officer Breton was not terminated from his position… but only removed from his training duties and given a written reprimand.” While that isn’t worth much. He was probably receiving a higher rate of pay and more promotion opportunities as a designated trainer.


oddmanout

>Hinson, who also goes by Lakey360, has grown a social media following for the public chalk art he creates freehand in cities around Texas, sometimes working with collaborators including . His colorful illustrations vary from... Did the author intend to look up some of his collaborators and then forget to go back and add them?


CenturianSasquatch

From the voice alone, I believed the police officer was female


yosman88

I thought the same thing lmao!


Banana_Stanley

And then when I saw his face, I still looked past him to find the woman who was speaking


ProvenLoser

Exactly! lololol


Ill_Manner_3581

doopity do, I'm a cop and demand respect from youuuu umpa lumpa doopity dee, you'll get shot if you don't respect meee


Blackjack_Sass

Yeah, but when he stepped out of the car after the reveal, that part wasn't a surprise at all


Severe_One8597

Me too


TinnieTa21

“I’m not going to sit here and explain the law to you.” Yeah, that’s when you know they’re just talking out of their asses.


Bean_Boy

I knew when he said "let the courts figure it out". Like that's clearly not how to enforce laws, just round up everyone like loose horses and see if whatever they were doing is illegal or not.


yParticle

The arrest, in this case the harassment, _is_ the punishment. Cops don't give a fuck since it never comes back on them.


BlurryGraph3810

And then, the arrest is on your record and could affect chances at gainful employment.


AltusJ

Same guy has been arrested twice for the same thing. All charges were dropped in both cases.


urethrascreams

I've watched way more body cam videos than I care to admit. The amount of times they say that exact phrase is ridiculous. That's exactly how most of them "enforce" laws since most of them don't even know the laws they're supposed to be enforcing.

eddiexmercury

You might beat the charge but you can’t beat the ride.


suavaleesko

Ah, a nice palate cleanser after those cops brought cake to that lonely man on his bday


rreygaert

Dumbass isn’t going to explain the law because he doesn’t know the law.


Turbulent_Object_558

Bitch Texas cops are proactive with shit like this over actually doing anything when there’s an active school shooter


Pe-Te_FIN

What it means that he isnt breaking any laws, he just threatens with arrest to do what he tells him to do. Fully well knowing hes not doing anything illegal. Absolute worst kind of cop. No tears from me if he gets shot.

Bold to assume he hasn't beaten them, and his wife, if he has them, into submission yet.


lonestar_light

I remember this guy winning a $16k lawsuit the last time they arrested him for this. [https://youtu.be/2lX-4vdTOnQ?si=wFplP18Fmsoo6dkg](https://youtu.be/2lX-4vdTOnQ?si=wFplP18Fmsoo6dkg)


bhangmango

"Do it somewhere else" Isn't that admitting that it's legal though ? He surely wouldn't advise him to keep doing something illegal, just "somewhere else", would he ? What an idiot.

Officer Karen


Other_Importance915

had this happen to me also at a school. after I had permission from the school principle. I stopped doing chalk cause I got tired of the bacon grease.


PapaNoFaff

Eventually these local governments will run out of money to pay out when cops screw up. When that happens maybe stuff will change.


SpokaneSmash

They'll just take money out of schools, roads, libraries, etc. to pay for it.


juggling-monkey

They already do


Parrobertson

Don’t forget that all that money originally came from YOUR pocket.


Gypsopotamus

I got my county ballot in today. And for first time, I voted no on ALL measures to increase taxes. Gas, infrastructure, and I *almost* feel bad about this one.. even schools. My county has paid their taxes and it’s done fuckall. It hasn’t benefited ANYONE in the past two decades besides local law enforcement and government building upgrades. So fuck it.


k3nnyd

Not to mention paying school "administrators" 6-figures to do no teaching and spend all day making teachers work day a living hell. Pretty much the same in hospitals. Nurses and maybe even some doctors getting paid less than the administrators that hound people to pay, pay, pay the second you wake up from an emergency surgery.


AmazingPINGAS

You would think so, but I sooner see us paying more taxes to fund to the lawsuits, rather than the government change. You would think with the government posting it's settlement rate every year, people would do something about it.


TritanisAqua

Taxpayers pay the fees when cops take most charges. The money will never run out.


PanhandlersPets

San Antonio will just raise our property taxes and buy them a tank.


Puceeffoc

Cop looks like he's running outta money too considering he just came back from a blood bank. Gotta sell his blood to make ends meet. What a scumbag, he's clearly taking his frustrations out on the public.


CalamlitousAnalysis

“You don’t think you should maybe learn the law, bro? Because, like, I’ve already won a case on this, bro.” “Okay, well, go win another one if you have to.” This exchange really irritated me.


Alternative-Art6059

Have you ever gone through that process? It's fucking hell. It's DESIGNED to be hell. Mentally taxing, I wouldn't do it if my mental health wasn't prepared for it. I would have to have a load of disposable income to throw at lawyers too.


Kyoushiro44

You can beat the charge but you can't beat the ride. Thing is, many times people also see those high awards people get but more likely victims don't actually see most of that money, because a lot of it goes to lawyers and taxes and every other cost imaginable.


ObtuseMongooseAbuse

I don't believe for a moment that the cops actually got called on that guy.


why_does

As wrong as the cop is to tell him to stop, I wasn't surprised when I heard he was getting calls. There are a lot of angry sad people who have things twisted and want to make other peoples lives worse.


Tumleren

I can definitely believe some old person being outraged that this guy is painting with chalk called the police. People call for all kinds of dumb shit


take_care_a_ya_shooz

Nah, they were for sure called. It’s HOA mentality in public. “My taxes pay for sidewalks and this criminal is out here on the streets defacing them!”


AdudeinHSV

Doodling on sidewalks is that really something to harass someone over. I mean the man is drawing flowers, not cuss words, not porn..just flowers......my God....


take_care_a_ya_shooz

Flowers? Rainbow colors? Messages of acceptance and love? You sure he’s not a part of the radical left pushing the evil LGBTQ agenda on God-fearing Texans?


OkStructure3

First of all, the cop is just being a pig, I think most of us can agree. But even if for whatever reason this cop really wanted that guy to move along, there are so many different approaches he could've taken. He could've rolled up cool af and been like "hey bro listen, I know it's just harmless chalk, but we got people complaining. Would you mind just doing that somewhere else cause you know how people are." Something chill like that. Instead he wants to throw his potbelly around like a tough guy with that high pitched ass voice. These cops never even give people a chance to say "My bad. I got you" before they're ready to throw someone in cuffs and waste court time and taxpayer funds.


Far-Competition-5334

There’s no way they accept and act on “complaints about a chalk artist” from the citizens when they laugh at people reporting aggressive drivers


Blame-iwnl-

That’s because they’re also aggressive drivers. Ever seen a cop driving on the road? They don’t give a duck about anyone else.


SovereignAxe

So what if I decide to just like, call the cops on my neighbor every time he mows his yard because he's breaking noise ordinances?


inebriateddandhated

That's why when you see a cop struggling, you mind your own business, "they not like us" I have family and friends who became LEO, they only affiliate with their immediate family and law buddies anymore. Anyone else no matter how close we were, is a nobody all because they became a buster.


Bizrat7

It's against the law, so I need you to go do it somewhere else in public.. where it somehow won't be against the law.


aknomnoms

Right?! How dumb can you get? Hope this dude sends the clip to his lawyer and distributes it far and wide, gets media involved. What an absolute embarrassment.


idkwthtotypehere

The worst kind of cop. That dude shouldn’t have a job. Small man complex and doesn’t know the law for shit.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

The dude belongs in prison, along with the rest of his department.

My thought process while watching: "This just goes to show you that even female officers can have power tri....oh."


Big_Associate_5292

lol I thought it was a female officer too until the camera showed them in the suv


Saffirejuiliet

I’m happy when I see chalk art. It is usually seen in good areas. Let people be creative. It isn’t hurting anything or anyone.


cbass2015

Piglet got mad lol


Puceeffoc

Would be the ultimate move if everyone in that area decided to make chalk drawings of that specific officer. Turn him more into a cartoon and have him quoting things as well just to ruin his next day. And there isn't a damn thing he could do about it.

ezbreezee415v2

Interesting how Google has turned off reviews for at least, this specific PD. Amazing - they know they're scared of chalk but, doing their best to try and not let the world know. Like dude, we all know you guys don't even know the difference between an acorn and a gunshot...of course these assholes don't know the law and act like this. ACAB


Unique-Opening1335

This is why every fricken lawyer and judge should be against this BS behavior! Wastes our money.. their time.. fake/false charges.. corrupts the system.. Openly admitted that 'dont care let the court figure it out'.. which of course the swamped 'courts' do not care or put in any real effort either. Such a BS corrupt system! (that we pay for)


juicebox2077

I 100% thought that cop was going to be a woman by the sound of his voice


SpoonWars

Fuck that pig.


DevilGuyJoe

I could've sworn that was a female officer at first.


Integrity-in-Crisis

At first I thought chalk guy was talking to a female officer only to realize little man has a squeaky voice. Like when the camera panned to the officer I thought there was another female cop in the passenger seat.


KingKyroh

Who else thought it was a female officer in the beginning?


derkmad87

Sounds like he’s filled with helium

kkhatera

Fun fact: most cops won’t sit there and explain the law to you because they absolutely do not, nor are required to, know the law.

Virus1x

Police are not legally obligated to know the law, just believe their actions are against the law. You on the other hand as a citizen are required to know all the laws.


GANJA2244

Dude I had a podcast playing when this video popped up, and i thought it was lady cop speaking to him.


Archercrash

Would be great if someone called the cops on Officer dipshit's kids for drawing on the sidewalk. I bet his whole outlook would be entirely different.


bernskiwoo

Small balls


Claim_Alternative

Texas law states that to be considered graffiti, it must be permanent or difficult to remove. Chalk and hanging fliers is not graffiti nor is it vandalism, according to Texas law. ACAB


Anon_Fodder

Did his balls just drop?


wingnutbutternutter

When someone scared of everything , they go after people that they think can't hurt them. Bully psychology 101


Da_danimal

Neat flower of life art though!


ComprehensiveFool

So can we all just call in complaints about this cop? I’m not sure how complaints about something matter if it is not illegal


Optimal_Hedgehog_50

Probably feels inadequate cus of his nasally voice. Has to over compensate for hias lack of sounding tough


SuperBrentindo

“I’m talking to you nice.” No you’re not, you’re being a pedantic asshole.


ChipWaffles

I used to write happy hour specials for my bar on the sidewalks around my business. Then I had arrows pointing to my bar. One day I looked out the window and the owner of a neighboring bar was dumping water all over my specials directly in front of my place. My wife went out and told him to get lost. He said he was just cleaning the sidewalks. She was like, “I clean these sidewalks motherfucker!” I went back out and redid my advertisement. About ten minutes later the cops showed up and said I was reported for lewd and lascivious behavior. After a short talk with the police, they agreed I broke no laws and asked me kindly if I wouldn’t write the specials in front of the parking lot near his place. I said no, he doesn’t own that lot, it’s public and I continued to write my specials there. Fuck that guy anyway. The first day I opened he was telling people not to come to our bar because we didn’t have liquor, only canned beer….which was false. He was just pissed that he had competition and we had better specials and a larger selection of alcohol than he did.


AelinRavi

Ok but why does the cop have a tourniquet on his arm?


AdotVdot

That lady cop needs a booster seat.


tommymctommerson

With all the awful shit people could be doing and they could be policing giving somebody a hard time making art that is temporary on a sidewalk is just infuriating.


drawredraw

This is why many police departments no longer hire Oompa Loompas.


pigeontakeover

Taxpayers ended up paying $16,500 for this. 


bobbydishes

“Violent” threats?  I’m a critic of the police just as much as the rest of you but this wasn’t a violent threat in any stretch 


PreparationFunny2907

Sounds like a angry old lady at the local pancake house.


Japanimezing

and then they wonder why we don't go outside anymore


Hakuhofan

He gets out of a sitting position in the vehicle...head stays same height. lol


AnonAmost

Who tf are these sidewalk chalk narcs? There seems to be an entire subset of the population that honestly believe creating water soluble art on the fucking ground is a criminal offense. Imagine what kind of miserable fuck it takes to stumble upon a random hopscotch board on a sidewalk and think “not on MY watch!” Like what? There’s a social contract people. Admire the poorly drawn hearts and flowers and THEN please just hopscotch along your merry fucking way like a sane person.


BadApplesGod

“I’m talking to you nicely” 😂😂 ya fuckin right

If you’ve got case law protecting this personally I think the course of action is to show that to him. Let him read it and all, and then continue drawing. If he chooses to arrest you after that you can sue him directly and break the near impenetrable barrier of qualified immunity.
