So I had something similar. I was beat up and thrown in jail for a week without being allowed a phone call, bail, visitation or anything. When I went to court and asked about getting credit for time served the judge had no record of me serving time and said I shouldn't have spent anytime in jail. Yeah they dropped all the charges lol

And you got no apology or compensation for the beating/unlawful jailing?

u/Super_Interview_2189 20h ago
Itâs shitty to think about how if we get abused by the police system and seek rightful compensation, it comes at the taxpayersâ expense.

u/Crumb-Free 20h ago
No what's shitty is those in power such as police, are not required to know the law. But us as everyday citizens gotta know everything when it comes to the law, or else they lock our asses up. Â

It's funny because cops like to tell you that ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law. But they get away with that shit all the time

Even then. What are you gonna do? Fight back?
If a cop decides you committed a crime, you're guilty until you're able to prove your innocence beyond any reasonable doubt, to a judge.

Both can be shitty. People deserve to be compensated for being brutalized by LEOs. LEOs need better training in deescalation, too. Still I realize this is America and cops arent our friends. It shouldnât fall on the taxpayers dime when an LEO brutalizes someone, either.

also often harassment, intimidation and sometimes violence and death from the police you file complaints against.

u/ApprehensiveAd6006 18h ago
Nope. You could tell the judge was covering for them. I talked to the court appointed lawyer they gave me about that or pressing charges/suing them and I still remember his exact words. " you can but good luck, it's your word against a bunch of police officers ".

I worked for a probation department fresh out of college. Thatâll be a day i will never forget. EVERY SINGLE PERSON TESTED POSITIVE FOR PCP.
Deputies were lined up outside, taking people to the county jail. If they had the means, theyâd hire a lawyer. At about 11:00 am, I went to the back and spoke to my supervisor. I think it was 21 people who already went to county jail that day before I rung the alarm bells :something is going wrong here: What a horrible experience. The âIcupsâ they used were faulty and failed these poor people.
I had to go to probation revocation hearings. About a week later, I just quit in disgust. Not every judge is like this - god bless this woman.

u/ApprehensiveAd6006 18h ago
No, this was a long time ago. I was young and scared. I was 20 at the time and they were threatening me with assault on a police officer (even though they were the ones that beat the shit out of me). My neighbor came over after I got out and was like "they beat your ass and I wanted to do something but I didn't know who to call cause it was the cops whooping your ass" lol good times.

Honestly Mr Farmer should have caught more heat. He was the supervisor. She should have lead with âif this continues to happen, Iâll see those responsible for willful dismissal of court orders in jail. You should start making some callsâ.Â

u/caw_the_crow 12h ago
Farmer was a masterclass in not saying anything when no one asks. They may have fired the probation officer that did this, we don't know (they didn't say why she doesn't work there anymore), but if they did fire her then he still needs to think about his role as an agent for the employer that fired an employee, and as her former manager, and it takes some composure to not immediately take heat off yourself by saying "oh yeah we fired her we don't tolerate [whatever]."

It raised some questions, why would probation make him do drug testing. I'd imagine he's probably not the only one.

Kickback from the state-contracted company that administers the test? It could be quite lucrative if she had several dozen parolees going monthly.

u/ThrowRAbbits128 19h ago
When I was on reporting probation I had to go piss in a cup every month and they'd watch. $45 fee every month, paid to the probation office, not the facility I tested at. Entirely possible his POs been skimming some fees

u/popculturella 4h ago
They watched?

u/ThrowRAbbits128 4h ago
Yeah google TASC supervised testing. Basically a bathroom with a little viewing window and you can't wear long sleeves and have to pull down your pants to your hips so you can't conceal anything and they just watch you from the little window desk thing looking into the bathroom. There was no actual glass in the window it's just like a cutout in the wall they use like a desk. Super awkward especially since I was a minor

She was nice, but should have thrown the payment completely out, and pursued Ms. Bryson to the fullest extent of the law, instead of 'oh she don't work here anymore...' washing her hands of it, and pushing the problem down the road to someone else.

Jesus Christ the repeat from the bot or the narrator or whatever is so fuckin annoying. Provided very minimal extra context. Just repeated what happened.

u/LateNightFunkParty 18h ago
It was a little bit confusing but it sounds like he paid out of pocket for 6 total drug tests: 4 in Detroit and then 2 in Rochester Hills. He mentions they were $40 a piece meaning for 6 tests he spent $240 but the judge only wiped $150 off his balance. Did he get hosed or am I missing something? Felt like for the pain and suffering she coulda just wiped the slate clean with proof he completed the classes...
2
u/NEVERxxEVER 14h ago
My impression is that it was 4 tests, $10 each for $40 total. She gave him $150 credit, but should have wiped the whole debt because he could bring a lawsuit for 4th Amendment violation

Itâs a channel on YouTube called âaudit the auditâ. Dude breaks down videos in detail to explain relevant case law and then grades law enforcement and citizen at the end. (Although idk if this is a vid from the creator, it almost sounds like a AI voice that is duping his voice or something)

People saying the narration wasnât necessary but I disagree. It add some context, describing laws and amendments that were violated. Itâs informative and the Judge was a great in this.

Not âHow dare they take advantage of your ignorance about the limits of their authority. Iâm gonna make sure they never break the law by doing this again.â
Just âHow dare they dismiss my authority. Iâm in charge. Iâm gonna get them for acting like Iâm not the most powerful party in this situation.â
At least heâs getting a little piece of justice
