Gee, that kind of sounded like a notice of trespass. Unless of course, you're investigating the obvious crime of a Jeep idling in a driveway.

Still need to get the 9-1-1 call, the radio transmissions, and everything from their CAD system to establish exactly what they knew when they were called there.

There is a clear assertion of constitutional rights made, and unless there's a LOT more to the story, the city will settle this one for sure.

The reason for that shitshow was the way the officers conducted themselves.

And apparently they can go hands on with anyone for any reason, including them just feeling like it.  All their grabbing and pushing and shoving simply escalated the emotions of everyone involved, themselves included.

I don’t have a problem with cops.  I have a problem with shitbags, especially when they are cops.  Some are actually pieces of shit but alot of these videos are just stupid/ignorant cops.   If you don’t take the time to learn your job (enforcing the law) then you can go fuck yourself.  

The VAST majority of my personal interactions with police have been good.  

I have personally had 3 interactions (off the job) with police officers where they were shitbags.   They were lying and/or violating rights without question because I saw everything with my own eyes and know what happened.

I used to think my personal experiences were the rarity and almost all cops were not lying tyrants.  

With the fact that nobody wants to be a cop anymore (I’m aware that was a purposeful operation), they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for cops now.  As they get dumber, the number of these incidents is skyrocketing.  

Plus cameras everywhere now.

Missouri and many other states have no idling laws. Therefore the officers do have probable cause that a traffic or criminal violation occurred ( depending on how the state codes it)

So were the officers legally there? Yes.

However the level of detainment and force used are completely unacceptable.

For example she self-identified as the owner/operator of the vehicle. She is the only ”suspect”.  The man is no longer a suspect and cannot be detained. Further, officers cannot force him to leave.

He is unlawfully detained and unlawful force used upon him. ($$)

She could be detained at a level equivalent to a traffic stop. (Again depending on state traffic vs criminal penalty for idling a vehicle)

Either way the legal and best practice way to handle this would have been to run the plate, confirm the owners picture with the lady and either leave a ticket on the car or issue a traffic warrant. There was zero reason the physically engage with either the female or the male.

The only thing I can think of as to why they wanted to detain the male was the argument could be construed as an active DV incident. The officers are clearly focused on that line of investigation when they ask her what is going on and explained to her that they heard arguing. However, that line of inquiry ends when she claims that there’s no issues and closes the door behind her. This leaves, no other avenues of investigation for the officers, and ultimately they must return to the original purpose of contact, the idling vehicle.
There’s also a possibility that they had information regarding a party at the location however it however, that information is not readily available at this time

I also see the old Argument of “qualified immunity” needs to be getting rid of. People vastly misunderstand what qualified immunity is and why it is necessary.

Amazingly, some people believe that qualified immunity means that a person cannot be criminally Charged. This is not entirely true often qualified immunity is given when an officer or official acts Within the constitution and laws, and it simply means that the government who passed those laws is the one that is liable further overall enforcement, not the individual

First and foremost, qualified immunity is given when you are a government official and acting the will of the government. Qualified immunity does not apply typically when you act outside the bounds of your governmental capacity.

For example, governmental immunity does not if an officer walks up in murders a citizen for no reason and no legal justification. That’s murder.

Qualified immunity would apply if for example, in the service of their governmental duties in officer shoots and kills an armed suspect committing a violent crime. Within the concerts of the constitution and local laws, this action is deemed justified and therefore within the government guidance. Sue the government, not the the Officer.


By eliminating qualified immunity altogether, The government cannot be held responsible for their miss deeds and only the people who carry the governments will become liable..


Without qualified immunity, for example, a law that violates The fourth amendment and is carried out by an officer would result in the officer being sued for a law that he did not create and was passed by the government. The government would then be able to hand off all liability to the officer and dodge all responsibility

Every government case would just become. “ we just passed the law. It was up to the officer to determine if it was against the constitution therefore, you can’t sue us.”


A parallel example of this would be a T-Mobile store that has a policy to sell broken phones to new customers. You the customer decide to sue the person/individual that sold you the phone rather than sue T-Mobile.

In either case you would be holding the individual accountable for the actions and policies of the government/corporation and not holding government/corporation accountable for their shitty policies.

Spfd is about an hr away from me.  Anyways found this from 2017:

Leaving unattended car running could bring fine in Springfield
By edited news release from Springfield Police Department
Published: Feb. 28, 2017 at 10:08 AM CST

Due to the number of cars being stolen while unattended and running, the Springfield Police Department will start enforcing municipal ordinance 106-33.

“No person driving or in charge of a motor vehicle shall permit it to stand unattended without first stopping the engine, locking the ignition and removing the key," the ordinance says.

Enforcement of this ordinance involves a municipal ticket with up to a $1,000 fine.

In 40 percent of the reported vehicle thefts in the city in 2016, car keys were left in the vehicle, or the car was left running and unattended.

"We want to encourage all citizens to be mindful of the security of their automobiles. Please lock your cars, roll up your windows and do not leave valuable items in view, and especially, please do not leave vehicles running and unattended," said Springfield Police Lt. Grant Dorrell in a news release.

I am not sure what “ very long time” as there as versions of qualified immunity that extend back to the first formal police force. The fist time it was address and called “qualified immunity was 1967.  It has been codified is some states such as MA since before the civil war.

While the article you link provides many example of “bad qualified immunity “ and few details on why, I will address that with a blanket statement.

Not everyone deserves qualified immunity.  In fact there are certainly people who don’t. But it is also a critical component of enforcing the law in today’s litigious society.

Gee, good thing they never bothered to just simply say "you cant leave a vehicle running unattended."

Filthy subhuman criminal cops belong in prison for the rest of their lives.

I suppose that you would say the same about any law that applies on private property.
🤣


I agree there is to much government and far to many laws but anarchy is also not a thing in our constitution

However the level of detainment and force used are completely unacceptable.

For example she self-identified as the owner/operator of the vehicle. She is the only ”suspect”.  The man is no longer a suspect and cannot be detained. Further, officers cannot force him to leave.

He is unlawfully detained and unlawful force used upon him. ($$)

She could be detained at a level equivalent to a traffic stop. (Again depending on state traffic vs criminal penalty for idling a vehicle)

Either way the legal and best practice way to handle this would have been to run the plate, confirm the owners picture with the lady and either leave a ticket on the car or issue a traffic warrant. There was zero reason the physically engage with either the female or the male.

The only thing I can think of as to why they wanted to detain the male was the argument could be construed as an active DV incident. The officers are clearly focused on that line of investigation when they ask her what is going on and explained to her that they heard arguing. However, that line of inquiry ends when she claims that there’s no issues and closes the door behind her. This leaves, no other avenues of investigation for the officers, and ultimately they must return to the original purpose of contact, the idling vehicle.
There’s also a possibility that they had information regarding a party at the location however it however, that information is not readily available at this time

Spfd is about an hr away from me.  Anyways found this from 2017:

Leaving unattended car running could bring fine in Springfield
By edited news release from Springfield Police Department
Published: Feb. 28, 2017 at 10:08 AM CST

Due to the number of cars being stolen while unattended and running, the Springfield Police Department will start enforcing municipal ordinance 106-33.

“No person driving or in charge of a motor vehicle shall permit it to stand unattended without first stopping the engine, locking the ignition and removing the key," the ordinance says.

Enforcement of this ordinance involves a municipal ticket with up to a $1,000 fine.

In 40 percent of the reported vehicle thefts in the city in 2016, car keys were left in the vehicle, or the car was left running and unattended.

"We want to encourage all citizens to be mindful of the security of their automobiles. Please lock your cars, roll up your windows and do not leave valuable items in view, and especially, please do not leave vehicles running and unattended," said Springfield Police Lt. Grant Dorrell in a news release.

If you read any of my comments above, I 100% agree. However, this lawyer in the video is also factually incorrect in his statements of the officers did not have a reason to be there. Lawyers can be idiots too

Jeep owner probably got a pocket full of tickets that are unpaid.  So it has to go down

No idling laws on private property? Lol.

We just sold an old car and had it idle for a few hours after jumping it because I couldn't find the battery trickle charger

Dude with the 3x mags was the worst. If there was an issue they could have said, please shut off the jeep... if we have to come back it might be a ticket. Have a nice day.

Missouri does not have any state laws that prohibit leaving a car running while unattended. However, Missouri does restrict idling for heavy-duty diesel vehicles in some counties, including St. Louis, Jefferson, Franklin, St. Charles, Jackson, Clay, and Platte counties. These vehicles can only idle for up to five minutes within a 60-minute period. St. Louis County, for example, restricts idling to three minutes.
