    In the video you hear the officer telling the pair why he was following them, “Because you were in the area of a stolen car,” said the officer.


    “How many people in the area of a stolen car,” replied Hampton.

    The officer asked the couple for ID which they denied, and Hampton said he continued to feel profiled because he didn’t do anything.

    “If you do not stop, you’re going to jail,” says the officer in the video. “Take me to jail,” replies Hampton.

    Days later Hampton is still wondering why the situation got to that point, “Why are we even suspects of a stolen car? For one, where is the car, who are you looking for sir, he couldn’t tell us who he was looking for.”


    And the video shows that fact, the woman asks the officer about the suspect he is looking for.

    “What does the person look like,” asked the woman. “I don’t know,” says the officer.

    I'm sure the fine folks of Concord won't mind footing another bill?

    Friday:


    The City of Concord Police Department strives to achieve the highest standards of professional conduct in policing and deliver exceptional and reliable service to the community. An officer responding to a report of a stolen vehicle fell short of these standards during his interaction with two individuals outside the Concord Mills Mall on Thursday, May 19, 2022. The on-scene supervisor appropriately intervened and the department began a thorough internal review immediately following the incident, and has taken corrective actions with the responding officer. Concord PD acknowledges and regrets the impact of this incident on the individuals involved and the entire Concord community, and will continue to work to build positive relationships and establish mutual trust and respect through accountability and transparency.


    So.........the officer was in the wrong. Certainly there will be no defenders of him..........?

    All they had to do was show their Id and been a part of the solution and not the problem.

    I'm willing to bet you didn't even read the story.

    So the officer has one defender so far. I'll keep count.

    An on-scene supervisor intervened and determined probable cause did not exist, detention was not reasonable based on the facts available, and acted appropriately to correct the situation. The supervisor explained to the individuals the complaint process, should they elect to file a complaint, and provided contact information for the department.

    Wanna try again?

    Of course you don't.

    So you need probable cause to show ID now?

    And you claim in another thread that you used to be a police officer? Lol

    Clearly you missed the "proper procedure" chapter.

    profiling is real and works. In this case, the cop had no description of any perpetrator so he over-reached.

    It is when you have no probable cause.

    As bad as you want this couple to have stolen a vehicle, they didn't. Cop was wrong, superior said he was wrong. I know you want to skate around those facts, but it doesn't help your argument.

    They will when they get sued.

    And his superior's findings will be the nail in his coffin.

    Officer followed people near a stolen car, sounds reasonable to me. Seems like people are throwing a titty fit over nothing lol. Good job officer.

    unfortunately though, people and thier unreasonable determination to call everything racist has police departments willing to pretend the officer wasn’t being reasonable.

    oh well, the nations irrational tendency towards hating police will pass eventually. Till then, I’m glad we have officers whom are willing to put themselves on the line and investigate issues properly even when it’s not popular.

    I see you don't know the difference between probable cause and reasonable suspicion. Will you learn that today?

    An on duty supervisor understood the irrational tendency of peoples hate towards officers. The officer did the right thing. A simple ID check for documentation purposes and all go on thier merry way.

    probable cause isn’t necessary btw, it’s reasonable suspicion. And that was definitely there lol.

    so yes, good job officer.

    The officer didn’t know this, and they were near it. Reasonable suspicion at its finest. If the PD defends its self properly, they win this lawsuit. Though I doubt they will even try.

    C’mon man, the guy is having nightmares and didn’t want to end up like Floyd? Talk about being overly dramatic.

    I’ve said this many times on this board, when I used to live in NJ I’d be stopped by the cops in Jersey City and NYC at night because the profile of a guy like me being in those areas at night meant I was probably up to no good. Even though I didn’t commit any traffic violations, rather than being a dick head I showed my license, registration and insurance card and was sent on my way. I never had nightmares about those stops.

    And with all the talk about profiles of certain people, no one ever tells us what those profiles are or how they were developed.

    The cop made a mistake, no one was harmed and the drama could have been avoided if the football player showed his ID. No matter what the cop did, if the NFL guy would have been cooperative instead of a dick with a chip on his shoulder this entire situation could have been avoided.
