This Sheriff is amazing. He outs pedophiles, drug dealers and runners, and dirty cops. Everybody is equal. If you break the law you’re gonna get shined on.
Sheriff grady is very transparent and honest, he will say when officers did wrong but he's not afraid to tell the press to kick rocks when his officers do the right thing and the journalist are just trying to spin it
You forgot to watch the rest of it. He not only terminated the deputies, he also initiated a full audit on every interaction and arrest for each deputy from the beginning of their tenure. If anything between the three of them that is out of place, it is more charges. He's also very transparent too.
I second that notion, ma'am. I love this gentlemen very much. We certainly need more, Sheriffs & elected officials, like him. RUN FOR PRESIDENT, SIR, PLEASE. He is certainly a man of his, State and his people, over his officers. God protect him at ALL COST'S
Sad thing is, doing this will likely set criminals free. Better to allow 100 guilty men to walk free than 1 innocent man sent to prison, and the rule of law must come first.
@@Uhh352 as a law student one of the foundational pillars of our criminal law system is actually the exact opposite. which is that one of the underlying theories thats the basis of criminal law is that its better to let a guilty man go free than to risk taking away the rights, liberties, and freedoms of an innocent one.
As a Floridian, I can tell you Sheriff Judd is absolutely beloved down here. Fantastic Sheriff. He also does more to combat child predation and human trafficking than I’ve seen just about anywhere else- and humiliates the perpetrators just like this. Regularly. He’s not a fabricated image- the dude doesn’t F around. Great guy.
I love him. I'm originally from south Tampa and I live in Wyoming now. I don't need to tell you that he was on the evening news almost every night doing these things! I'm 2,000 miles away and I'm STILL seeing him on CZcams!
I think it says a lot that this Sheriff took a "small" crime seriously because we'll know how he handles a "big" crime then too. Props to him and the evidence cop, she could have just let it go too because of the "code" that some cops have about protecting each other.
He is the opposite of what's wrong with cop culture. Sheriff's are cool. They're elected. We need him everywhere, been watching his funny press releases for YEARS
@@danielescobar7618 I will admit that this Sheriff appears to be one of the good guys. He walks the walk, and he has taken bad deputies to prosecution. However, not all Sheriff’s are the same. The man who was just elected Sheriff in our County just happens to have been a Detective on my town’s Police Department about 9 years ago. I remember very clearly the day when he discharged his firearm at a Honda Civic carrying unarmed civilians which he believed were in possession of narcotics of some kind. Luckily because I live about 1500 feet from the next state’s border via a beautiful covered bridge so the Police Officers from the town across the border actually two different towns reported to the call as “back up”. They reported to to my town’s Police Chief that this Detective had fired upon civilians who were unarmed. The Detective then tried to say that these civilians tried to run him down with their vehicle. Absolutely none of that happened, and the Detective was ultimately fired. In the 2016 election cycle the former Detective decided to run for a seat on the Select Board. He clearly had a good platform and what harm could he do there, no guns involved. By this past midterm election cycle he decided to run for County Sheriff and he won! He then came forward with the idea that the Sheriff and Deputies should take a more active role in policing the county. The role of the Sheriff’s Department here is basically answering questions working at the courthouses and delivering paperwork such as subpoenas, Restraining Orders, Eviction Orders, etc. Thankfully our Police Department and the other Police Departments in the County told him that would be happening because it wasn’t necessary. So old Mr. Itchy Trigger Finger got shut down!
That one guy is single handily restoring faith in local law enforcement around the country ! He should be tasked with leading the team that investigates the police officers and agencies around the county !
Doesn’t surprise me. A cop stole $600 dollars from me when I was 16. I was on my way to give a down payment on a car this guy was selling. The guy said, he would hold the car for me until the weekend, when my mother was off work and she could then finish the transaction then. On my way to the guys house a cop stopped me, harassed me, and confiscated my money saying, if I wanted the money back, I had to bring a parent and my paycheck stubs to police station, and prove I worked for the money…My mother was furious, and took me to the police station with my paycheck stubs. The cop lied. He denied searching me and taking my money. I worked and saved for months so I could buy myself a car. It still pisses me off.
I lived in this sheriffs county for 40 yrs. He doesn’t play. He’s also very pro gun for civilians. There’s a saying on the streets there “come on vacation, leave on probation, return on violation” Sheriff Grady Judd is awesome! Edit: He does a lot of story times. 🤣🤣 Check out more of his videos.
Sherrif Grady is the best! He goes up to the podium shows the criminals faces, and tells it step by step what they did, how they did it, and how the investigation went. Very transparent and he is absolutely the best Sheriff in the US!
This Sheriff is honestly pretty solid and fair. Idk what he does behind closed doors, but from what they are always showing of him, he is what a solid cop looks like.
He’s a legend in the true-crime community. He’s the only sheriff type dude with a huge following cuz of his storytelling and warm-heartedness. He’s also a human with limits, but he genuinely believes in right and wrong and tries his best
I learned this lesson early in life. You can get in more trouble for lying about something, than you would for the actual "crime"....yeah, I got my ass busted for lying about minor stuff as a kid
The "police should naturally be held to a higher standard" principle is something ive been yelling forever, and holy shit im SO GLAD its finally starting somewhere.
@@youdidwhat7530 that's not my point. I'm an adult, just as a lot of us viewers are. I speak for myself, and nobody else. So yes I, as in ME, have been yelling this forever. not to say that I'm the first. but to say I'm one of potentially many.
This demonstrates the difference between two type of local forces. 1. A Chief of Police, with a supervising Commissioner/Mayor. 2. A Sheriff that is voted in or out depending on the quality of their service and supervision. A mayor would never allow a Police chief speak so openly unless the crime occurred under the previous administration.
It works both ways, some sheriffs are more corrupt than the people they need to catch, but they are kept in office since most people don't care or are clueless until an actual third party policing agency starts to investigate them for suspicious bullshit.
@@Yeet42069 Indeed. That's a very good point. We need better policing, and collectively we need to be more active citizens. If we participate more locally by going to city council meeting and other events of that nature, the political machinations will be much more awkward with so many eye's on them. It's as simple as going once a year. If one out of 100 people did that it would be standing room only. The interest would force newspapers, radio, and TV to actually cover local news like they did in the early days of TV.
@@johnowen483 Yeah, better trained local and federal agencies and higher training standards are necessary. It would also help if people gave more of a crap indeed, but its not only that. The laws that protect policing agencies from lawsuits need to go and we need separate prosecuting offices who specialize in such cases and are not part of local crime cases or associated with a department in question in any form or way. And we need to have separate entities investigating when internal conflicts show up instead of self investigation. There is no point in training someone to uphold a position of higher power when they can shun their responsibilities due to there being no repercussions when engaging in faulty behavior.
As someone who is moderately conservative and definitely been on cops side of most encounters, i never thought about the lack of immediate accountability preach talked about. The next day they may tell their partner “hey that was stupid you could have got yourself in big trouble” but not on the spot and let certain situations get out of control. I have been binging your content and y’all have some good takes and interesting conversations! I wish there were more people on the internet like y’all.
For those not from Florida, this Sheriff and his press conferences are legendary. Tune in, you learn a lot and it’s quite entertaining when you’re not a criminal yourself.
@@keithcalvosa5894 he follows the law to a T like if we didnt have so many stupid and pointless laws guys like this would be the best thing for this country. He's a cop with a code that is dictated by the law.
@@keithcalvosa5894 so let me get this straight, your arguement against a clean sheriff being clean, is he don't like firesticks, without context. ACTUALLY, hol up. not only will he lock you up for having a fire stick, but if he did so, HE HELD ONE. WAS THIS WHILE HE WAS ARRESTING SOMEONE?? and I'm not even arguing over whether or not it's a dumb argument. I'm pointing out you made one. Dude I've held a 100 dollar bill, but never owned one. apparently, you don't know how life/law works, and I'm black pilled so I despise people so I can agree with the concept, but it's braindead at it's ending. Cops arrest people for having drugs on hands all the time. THEY ALSO HANDLE DRUGS, ALL THE TIME. IMAGINE. CAUSE I CAN'T. dear god, I'm going to go drink myself into the ground. Rage quitting life here, tired of braindead gamers saying shit on the net.
The best one ever by this sheriff is “shoot you dead, because evil Can never be dead enough”. This cop seems like a good person and I do like he holds his cops to a high standard. All police should.
@@serronserron1320 Look as much as you want or until your heart is content. Sheriff Grady is truly a great Person a Great Human being and someone who should be teaching law enforcement how to act.He Will fire you and put you in jail no matter if you are a Judge or a Cop or a Criminal. He doesn’t play favorites or cut cops slack so your comment is about as strong as a sinners prayer gone with the wind.
When I was in boot one of the first things I was told was: "Honesty before accuracy and consistency above all else" And one of the unspoken rules about state and federal employment is; you don't make other people complicit. I have rained hellfire down on coworkers that have tried that with me, and that Sheriff did the right thing. It's not so much a matter of the money, hell that is really not a big deal. But gundecking reports and dragging people into it ... they need to go down for that.
Im a Floridian and sheriff Grady Judd is held in high regard here. We all love him, and the county that he works for, REALLY needed him. God speed and God bless sheriff Judd
important to note that if they got caught sealing money in any single amount, it likely means this isnt the first time they have stolen from suspects. this is just the first time they got caught
I appreciate that you touched on a Truth that I suspect a few law enforcement officials are facing. I understand how uncomfortable it can be to find one's self in a position to blow the whistle on colleagues, but if you've told them how you feel about their illegal and unethical behavior and they continue to do it, they're in the wrong job anyway.
I've seen this cop before. He doesn't mess around. He catches pedo's all the time. He does the same thing with them. He shows their pics and tells exactly what they did. It's great that he does that.
This Sheriff is anti-body camera and anti-transparency. His press conferences are a show. He is the equivalent of a tent show preacher. This show is so he can control the narrative. Never do you see dash cam or body cam footage of an incident he is narrating. He literally stands on a podium and tells a story. Only fools believe this man is telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Sheriff: "You can't police a community if you don't hold yourself to a higher standard than you expect from the community" The Community: "THAT'S. ALL. WE. EVER. ASKED. FOR."
It would be very convenient if you did ask for that wouldn’t it, instead you get “fiery but mostly peaceful protests” and ignore the actual shootings police are trying to stop. Dude y’all protested an officer who saved a girl from getting fucking stabbed. Fuck off.
@@AndroSpud compare the number of cops killed a year to citizens being killed every 3 months by cops, & then citizens being killed by cops A YEAR. Law enforcement has waaayyy too many criminals with a badge, EGO, & pride- oh & most importantly a GUN they use when 'in fear of their lives' that have led to many innocents being killed so plz STFU.
Heh that's cute you think that as people walk up to cop cars and unload into them, call the black ones race traitors and all the racial slurs in the book...but sure it's only ever been about "standards" lololol
Sheriff Grady is the freaking man. This isn’t the first time he’s arrested his own, even running an investigation into local departments for corruption at one point.
Violation of Oath of Office (when an officer breaks the law) carries a penalty of 10 years federal time where I'm at. The crime may be minor but they could still face an entire decade of time just for breaking the law.

Honestly, you have to have zero tolerance in stuff like this. Not taking care of things at this stage is what leads to the horrible corruption we all hate.
This is exactly what needs to be normalized to rebuild trust between civilians and law enforcement. Yes, it looks bad when your department houses bad officers. It looks worse when you get caught trying to hide it. So, transparency and holding your officers accountable has much better long term optics. When departments do this, they take steps to heal public opinion and the safety/support they receive from their community. It's better for everyone. Keep it up Sheriff.
Yep. Being a leader in charge of other people, we are responsible for the people we lead - their mistakes become our mistakes and thus ours to address. Taking ownership of an issue, even one we have not caused directly, is absolutely critical in situations like this where trust and reliability is what makes the "relationship" work at all (eg. relationship between civilians and law enforcement)
@@kristianjensen5877 Absolutely. And I understand that it's not a simple or easy task. There are political and financial pressures when people can sue the state for such misconduct. But repair needs to start somewhere. And perhaps knowing that those with such power as law enforcement are being held accountable can start to eradicate the behavior at the source of the broken trust to begin with. And perhaps as people start to have more faith in law enforcement, compliance will make the job officers put their lives on the line for immeasurably easier. Imagine a society where people aren't so hesitant to ask the police for help because they actually believe the police are there to help... or where they don't constantly refuse to communicate or welcome police into their home when they aren't even suspects, they're simply asked to help in an investigation to protect innocent people from getting hurt. It sounds a lot safer and less fearful to me...... if the police prove worthy of that trust. I want that. I assume most people want to not live in fear. Least of all live in fear of people whose job is to protect us.
As i see is better when you expose the bad apples and make them accountable, it shows you trying to fix things, worse is when you hide and pretends nothing ever happens, then you know the institution is rotten. But the worse thing is corruption fought top-down, the sheriff can punish the deputies by example, but when the corruption is higher in hierarchy , a governor, a president, no one will touch them, they are too big to fall. They can even remove people who ask questions.
@@rachelsarmientotack what you're asking for isn't difficult, it's impossible... Whether or not law enforcement agencies and departments take those actions won't matter, because there will always be bad apples, and although holding them accountable will deter further bad behavior and demonstrate good ethics, the only focus will be on the fact that a bad apple existed. I'm not saying that corruption and dishonesty is good, or shouldn't be stopped, but that it won't be recognized by the general public. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that the situation in the video, made national media. What I'm talking about is something that Bill Maher actually had a good segment on recently, and that is that at least half the battle with disinformation, regardless of the topic, is the consumer. It takes more than just law enforcement agencies and departments to create your little utopian society...
@@tobiasreaper3650 Society doesn't change over night, no matter what measures are taken. I would never expect that. That doesn't invalidate productive measures to work towards those ideals and building trust. And I'm not insane for cheering on such progress. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish with your negative outlook. Eliminate hope? Discourage progress? What's your point?
Sheriff Judd is awesome. I live in North Florida so I'm not in his area, but if I ever decide to go to central Florida I would want to be in his county. Definitely would love a chance to shake his hand one day and thank him for everything he does and the example he sets.
Judging a person by their group association always make you come off as prejudiced, everyone's an individual so judge them individually. I know it's a pain and a lot of the time the stereotype just get proven true, but every once in a while you'll find those people that are crushing it, and they are the best. That being said I have some mad respect of Preach, recognising a bias is a hard thing to do on any level.
That might be true when it comes to things like race. But it's not so true when it comes to things like ideology, gang affiliation, etc. You don't get to choose your race but you do get to choose who you associate with. If you call yourself a Nazi, I'm going to judge you as a Nazi. If you call yourself a police officer, I'm going to judge you as a police officer.
NYPD has been doing these type of nasty practices for YEARS. I've even had officer's steal my whole wallet including identification. It's nice to see someone actually trying to do something.
The more power someone has, the more corruption occurs. NYPD is so large the budget is equivalent to Ukraine’s military. Police is just meant to keep the poor poor and protect the rich
@@henrylam92 those numbers are crazy when you think about it. It's beyond disturbing. It's more like they're on the streets to bully and harass people.
I used to work as an attorney in Polk County. Although Grady Judd can be really harsh, there is one thing he is definitely not--corrupt. He is as principled as they come and prosecutes both cops and prosecutors who commit crimes.
Dude this happens so much where I live. Everyone knows that if you check into jail with money, it’s gone. People just accept that as a fact, and that’s sad. It might be inconsequential in the big picture, but if every police department operates with this level of accountability and transparency, the world really would be a little bit better.
i love watching this Sheriff. He is always open and honest and VERY straight forward. In my opinion, he is a shining example of what all law enforcement SHOULD be.
@@Onthebrink5 What kind of coolaid are you sippin? The bozo's got caught because the 700 was about to be returned to the rightful owner. You can't be this dense right?

Also, end qualified immunity....tax payers shouldn't be held to foot the bill of the mistakes these cops make while they get a slap on the wrist and moved to a new precinct.
This is a perfect example of "The cover-up is worse than the crime". Hell, there might not have even been a crime at all, just people being sloppy. At that point, they could have reported they screwed up, taken the penalties, and been better in the future for it. Instead, they tried to hide their mistake and turned it into being dragged on public television and never working in their field again. And good on this Sheriff. Yeah, it almost seems too minor to blast them like this over, but that's the point. If you allow the little things, eventually you start allowing bigger things. Especially in policing, it's critical to show the public that you will drop the hammer when anyone abuses their position.
It's wild how many people will throw everything away for chump change. Seen it at my employers multiple times...you just cant fix stupid. Let's say it was an honest mistake, which I doubt, they would just have to tell the truth, get their ass kickin, and life goes on. 🤷♂
For real, they obviously weren’t trying to steal or they wouldn’t have written it up in report. Seems like a case of everyone thought the other dude had it and it was left on hood of car type thing. The problem is that they didn’t report and take care of an obvious mistake. I’m sure it would have been slap on wrist, like a write up; if they had just reported it. Pretty dumb
I live in Polk County, FL where Sheriff Judd is and I can tell you he is as stand up a guy as there is. I have had multiple family members arrested by the Polk County Sheriff's Office and they are the most professional and respectful department in Central Florida. I got to say I disagree with Preach's take on cops not checking each other or getting punished for misbehavior. Cops should be held to a higher standard and I believe they definitely are. You saying that there are a ton of cases of misbehavior that don't get reported and handled is like saying most every wife is beating up their husband, it just isn't being reported. It can't be proven or disproven because you say it isn't reported. These cops didn't fuck up by losing the money, though I'm sure they would of been written up and investigated for that. They got arrested and charged because they tried to cover it up. You should watch more of Sheriff Judd's press conferences. He is very entertaining and I especially enjoy when a reporter tries to argue with his putting these criminals on blast for their stupidity.
I remember a year or so ago there was a deputy that was planting meth on people. People lost their kids, an older lady was arrested and put in jail, people lost their homes...ALWAYS record a police interactions. There are affordable body cams people can get, and they can record to "the cloud".
@This is BAXTER There is no problem with the "cloud", if the police doesn't treat you right just post it publicly immediately and it can't be disproven under any measure, the cloud you are talking about that would make more sense is CZcams or better said the internet itself, if people want to see it it won't matter how many times it gets deleted, it will surface back up.
I think the sentiment that "just because he caught these guys just means a lot of smarter ones get away with it" is probably true but a tad unfair in this particular instance. This Sheriff and his office can't bear the burden of every police force everywhere in the U.S. This example should be held up as a gold standard for the under performing police stations, rather than diminishing his accomplishments with speculations and what-aboutisms.
The problem is that the only reasons these guys were caught was because their sheriff wasn't corrupt and they were stupid. It's not unfair to point out that you have to be extremely incompetent to get caught doing this. The fact that doing something like this is so easy to do without getting caught is the real issue. Like, we can appreciate that the sheriff did his job, but we can also recognize it doesn't take much to get away with this either. All they had to do was not acknowledge the money in the report and never talk to the evidence holder and the whole case would've been a he said-she said. With three police officers' word vs a criminal's.
Politicians are worse then cops imo. There is corruption in policing but politics is by its very nature corrupt. For example Nancy Pelosi does obvious, widely known insider trading and faces zero repercussions. And she's hardly the only.
$700 is a whole check for some people. And then to get arrested for something that most people think is harmless makes it more annoying and unnecessary.
I thought she got arrested for prescription drugs as well? Sheriff mentioned both as scheduled drugs so I assumed it was prescription. Marijuana definitely harmless, the other drug depends.
@@exohive5608 it is prescription but they may have been able to argue that it was actually hers. I've almost been arrested for my prescriptions in the past (I had them in a baggie to go on vacation rather than all the bottles, bad idea lol)
this is my home town and the person involved in the case was my little cousin. they stole her money and tried to cover it up... Grady don't play that😂 p.s. she learned a very valuable lesson and has turned her life around.
It's nearly impossible to feel safe and protected when you know the police department in your own neighborhood is shady. My sibling was T-boned by a police cruiser, and instead of admitting he fucked up, he called ALL his buddies to the scene to claim they witnessed what happened. How much power does a single citizen actually have when they are dismissed by 5-6 officers after getting rammed by one of them? Absolute zero.
They don't see themselves as citizens, they see themselves as public servants. And some of them think they're above the law when they consider they aren't citizens.
@@victoriarobertson266 they ARE above the law, in the sense that many laws don’t apply to them. Example, they’re allowed to point a gun at someone in certain situations. They’re allowed to cuff and lock up someone in certain situations, etc. They NEED those privileges in order to do their job, fair. But such privileges should come with immense scrutiny, and nothing but 100% cleanliness should be expected from them.
I've been saying this for years. Those who write and enforce the law need to be held to a higher standard of the law. That means longer prison sentances for the same crimes. Investigations into malpratice and wrong doing. You cannot expect trust if you are not trustworthy.
This is why military issues never start the riots police issues do. The military eats their own, the OG sin is to cause an incident with a headline like "Marine does dumbshit" they will make sure your life is hell until you sweat at the thought of making another mistake.
It also sounds like that if they had alerted the right people, they would still have their jobs. The biggest issue is that they were actively trying to cover this up--and police cover ups are intolerable so it has to be addressed strongly.
To be fair, everyone messes up once in a while, so I think it’s fair if they had kept their jobs and gone through the right channels to report it. If it happened again though, they should have been fired the second time around
Why is Donald Trump pretty and I am not? But why does he only have a wife but I have TWO HANDSOME GIRLFRIENDS who I show off in my masterpiece YT videos? Do you know the answer, dear des
Yeah, I don't think they got arrested for losing the money. They got arrested for losing evidence and not reporting it. The fact that they did not report the loss of evidence turn it into a theft. If they had reported the loss they would have probably been reprimanded and investigated (to see if someone took the money) but that's it.
You guys make some legitimate points and it’s based on life experiences, truly appreciate how you feel,,, Sheriff Grady Judd is the shit when it comes to being “cut & squared & by the numbers!” Thank you for you video, really enjoyed it.
I really appreciate the way y’all bounce of each other n these conversations. Even when ur both n agreement about somethin, u usually try to play devil’s advocate for the other side of the coin. Y’all r great fr
It's refreshing to hear someone say they are holding police to a higher standard. Because too many times, it appears they are held to a lower standard and they get away with things the average person would be put in prison for and say they know better than to do that. I just wish these guys were punished for something more serious, like for brutality or something.
I think that has way more to do with what your perceptions are, rather than reality. Positive or negative, realistically no civilian has any fucking clue what the day to day of a cop/military person is without doing it. Both are heavily depicted in media, 98% of it is inaccurate and dramatized. Individual experiences do not override macro statistics. It’s statistically impossible for cops to be as bad as they are painted, but also the flipside is just as dramatized.
I can’t believe y’all haven’t seen a sheriff Grady press conference before! That man’s story times are legendary. There’s hundreds of them. You gotta check out some of the more crazy shot they have shut down in his jurisdiction. The man is a savage when it comes to arresting and putting criminals on blast.
That's why I really respect this Sheriff, he does hold his people to a higher standard. Not a standard that lets them get away with stuff you and I would be in trouble for, but stuff like this, you fuck up, you're going to pay.

@@Mr_Dopey exactly this, the guy is a scumbag who pretends he's got nothing to hide while actively being so against body cams and actual transparency with his officers that he actually get angry when asked about it
This is an example of where the leadership and anti-corruption needs to start: the top. I've known quite a few cops and listening to them when their guard is down is way different than when they're on patrol. A lot of times, the municipality or city they work for pushes them to be quiet because the city is worried about being sued. If they admit fault, it's a slam dunk for a lawsuit. There are a lot of politics that go on behind the scene that get in the way of real law enforcement. But when you have a leader at the top who sets this kind of tone, it's better for all of the cops there because they have a clear understanding of what matters which is what the Sheriff laid out at the beginning of the video.
@@immanuelcunt7296 That's a great ideal, but it's not practical at all. If your boss presses you to do something, a boss who happens to be in the upper escalon of law enforcement, someone who could easily harrass you and your family, you will fall in line. Anti-corruption needs to start from the top so that people below that person in influence will feel more comfortable speaking out about corruption. It will most likely not start from the bottom or middle in the law enforcement heirarchy.
@@immanuelcunt7296 true, but more so the top. If there were a percentage of how pressing it is for things to start at the top, it would be 90% plus and that's a minimum. People at the bottom have less power, less power is less say. It really is skewed that heavily. I can embody as much benevolence and archetypal justice as I want. But if I'm not in a position where my word, my example, my principle is final; then I can easily get overshadowed and put into a position where I'm thrown to the wolves by a superior.
@@jeffleishman1553 so everyone cries that cops need to hold other cops to a higher standard, they’re all crooks because they protect each other and lie for each other.

Like really what do you want?? You just want all cops to be disbanded and have no form of public protection??
Shamed the wrong, held them accountable, served them consequences. Exactly what's necessary for a functioning individual, partnership, group, community, and society.

I appreciate the point of view. It may be 750, but still, it’s about TRUST, which the police don’t have in the community. How do things start to change? By doing precisely what this sheriff did no matter what. Glad you guys gave this a fair shot. Fellas, Great video. Keep up the excellent work!
It's important for people in power to understand that $723 is a lot of money to the poorest of the people they're meant to protect, too. That's a lot of food, or a good chunk of their month's rent when they might otherwise be struggling to make rent that month.
this is also a great teaching moment for the other deputies. now they know it's better just to cop to a mistake, document it above board, and carry on with your career - than to run around trying to make backroom deals to hide a foul up in the chain of custody. but really, where did the original money go????
Any amount would be too much IMO but its wild that anyone would risk their job or this prosecution for so little money...That makes me think that this is something they are used to doing and getting away with...
@@alanthampi4718 That's not all. Trimming female actors to a toothpick. Forcing them to starve themselves to look smaller. They did it to Demi Lovato, who else did they do that too?
I remember the first Reddit story about that cop, I wish more cops where like him. He’s one of the few that sees people as people, not a white man or a black man, just a man. Respect.
I feel like its the other way around, majority see people as people instead of black or white. Its only some that are pretty racist or having internalised Racism of some sort. If the majority of officers were racist out of millions of police interactions per year the number of unarmed black men killed by police a year wouldn't be under 50.
As a Floridian, People know if you have a previous charge or a warrant, you don’t go to Polk county 😂😂 you will get got !! You don’t stop just keep driving . 😭😭😂 I love him so much, nobody is special and everyone is equal and he has good dad jokes .
I just stumbled on this channel today and for those of you who aren't aware of this Sherriff, his name is Grady Judd, Sherriff of Polk county Florida. When I lived in Tampa from 2010-15 this man was literally on the local news 4-5 times a week. He is amazing!!! I used to think that he was just grandstanding for "higher office" someday, but no.....he's just a badass and ALL County Sheriff's should behave like this. It's 2022 now and I still get CZcams videos of him and I live in WYOMING now!
When it comes to cops, the line we should draw in terms of theft needs to be anything more than $0. These people are given authority and are expected to uphold the law, so they should be held to a much higher standard.
I respect this Christian Floridan Sheriff, he's consistently doing press conferences, pulling out photos... He goes in on criminals we need more men like him running every police department across the country.
Right let me get this straight these men throw away a 50k a year plus job down the toilet for $723 and now they are in jail as former law enforcement officers probably the worst place to go for a former cop 🤣🤣🤣
Not just your job, throwing a good portion of your life quality away for $723. Split that 3 ways you're throwing your life away for $241. Lol. They aren't hiring the smartest people.
Sheriff is a great story teller... I'm really invested in this story. P.S To throw your career away over $723 is ridiculous... that's dumb, that's weird.
It's worse if you consider that there were 3 of them involved, which could mean that they split the money and at which point it comes out to not quite $250 each.
Every state, county, city and town needs a law enforcement officer like Sheriff Judd. A man with morals and integrity who upholds the law without bias. Unfortunately he's a dying breed.
When I was a teenager on probation I got pulled over by the police. They searched my car found an ounce of weed,a scale, and a few hundred dollars. They were actually really cool about it and just drove me to my house, didn’t wake up my parents or anything. The next day I went back to my car and there was no weed no scale and no money in my trunk.
Yeah, I’m a convict and I’ve had really bad interactions w cops. But there are good cops out there, man! Thanks for being the same commentators time and time again.
Not a fan of reaction videos but your guys' reaction to the unusually honorable intent of this Sheriff juxtaposed by the stupidity of the crooked officers is relatable.
Will there be a Kevin samuels video soon??
No.

Sheriff grady is very transparent and honest, he will say when officers did wrong but he's not afraid to tell the press to kick rocks when his officers do the right thing and the journalist are just trying to spin it

I hope he never 'goes missing'..
This sheriff is the standard all should strive for when recruiting new cops.
You forgot to watch the rest of it. He not only terminated the deputies, he also initiated a full audit on every interaction and arrest for each deputy from the beginning of their tenure. If anything between the three of them that is out of place, it is more charges. He's also very transparent too.
I second that notion, ma'am. I love this gentlemen very much. We certainly need more, Sheriffs & elected officials, like him. RUN FOR PRESIDENT, SIR, PLEASE. He is certainly a man of his, State and his people, over his officers. God protect him at ALL COST'S

Sad thing is, doing this will likely set criminals free. Better to allow 100 guilty men to walk free than 1 innocent man sent to prison, and the rule of law must come first.
@@Uhh352 as a law student one of the foundational pillars of our criminal law system is actually the exact opposite. which is that one of the underlying theories thats the basis of criminal law is that its better to let a guilty man go free than to risk taking away the rights, liberties, and freedoms of an innocent one.

I think it says a lot that this Sheriff took a "small" crime seriously because we'll know how he handles a "big" crime then too. Props to him and the evidence cop, she could have just let it go too because of the "code" that some cops have about protecting each other.
Exactly!!!
He is the opposite of what's wrong with cop culture. Sheriff's are cool. They're elected. We need him everywhere, been watching his funny press releases for YEARS
He knows small problems turn into big problems if you don’t do anything.
@@danielescobar7618 I will admit that this Sheriff appears to be one of the good guys. He walks the walk, and he has taken bad deputies to prosecution.
However, not all Sheriff’s are the same. The man who was just elected Sheriff in our County just happens to have been a Detective on my town’s Police Department about 9 years ago. I remember very clearly the day when he discharged his firearm at a Honda Civic carrying unarmed civilians which he believed were in possession of narcotics of some kind. Luckily because I live about 1500 feet from the next state’s border via a beautiful covered bridge so the Police Officers from the town across the border actually two different towns reported to the call as “back up”. They reported to to my town’s Police Chief that this Detective had fired upon civilians who were unarmed. The Detective then tried to say that these civilians tried to run him down with their vehicle. Absolutely none of that happened, and the Detective was ultimately fired.
In the 2016 election cycle the former Detective decided to run for a seat on the Select Board. He clearly had a good platform and what harm could he do there, no guns involved.
By this past midterm election cycle he decided to run for County Sheriff and he won!
He then came forward with the idea that the Sheriff and Deputies should take a more active role in policing the county. The role of the Sheriff’s Department here is basically answering questions working at the courthouses and delivering paperwork such as subpoenas, Restraining Orders, Eviction Orders, etc.
Thankfully our Police Department and the other Police Departments in the County told him that would be happening because it wasn’t necessary. So old Mr. Itchy Trigger Finger got shut down!
Elections don’t mean shit if the one your voting for ain’t real.
That one guy is single handily restoring faith in local law enforcement around the country ! He should be tasked with leading the team that investigates the police officers and agencies around the county !
This sheriff is the kind of authority figure we all need in our communities, no matter what part of the world we're from.
Tell he come to LA
100% agree
I bet you if this was NYC or LA it wouöd be very diffrent.
This isn't the first time he was an absolute savage behind that podium. I've seen multiple clips over the years of him putting people/ideas on blast
He's been on it these last couple of years. He's doing something right! Surprised they don't tarnish his name
Doesn’t surprise me. A cop stole $600 dollars from me when I was 16. I was on my way to give a down payment on a car this guy was selling. The guy said, he would hold the car for me until the weekend, when my mother was off work and she could then finish the transaction then. On my way to the guys house a cop stopped me, harassed me, and confiscated my money saying, if I wanted the money back, I had to bring a parent and my paycheck stubs to police station, and prove I worked for the money…My mother was furious, and took me to the police station with my paycheck stubs. The cop lied. He denied searching me and taking my money. I worked and saved for months so I could buy myself a car. It still pisses me off.
Bro I'm so sorry that happened to you I hope the Pig got his comeuppance!
As it should. I would never forgive a cop for wrongdoing, and I never will.

I lived in this sheriffs county for 40 yrs. He doesn’t play. He’s also very pro gun for civilians. There’s a saying on the streets there “come on vacation, leave on probation, return on violation” Sheriff Grady Judd is awesome!
Edit: He does a lot of story times. 🤣🤣 Check out more of his videos.
Sherrif Grady is the best! He goes up to the podium shows the criminals faces, and tells it step by step what they did, how they did it, and how the investigation went. Very transparent and he is absolutely the best Sheriff in the US!
This Sheriff is honestly pretty solid and fair. Idk what he does behind closed doors, but from what they are always showing of him, he is what a solid cop looks like.
He Is just as amazing in person! My cousin works for him as a detective! 💖
lmfao. He demands his deputies brutalize black and poor people. Come to lakeland and see how black ppl are treated.
you stated the reality in the PERFECT way
His only employer ever has been Polk County Sherriff's Office. He's hilarious actually. Solid cop, solid dad jokes.

This demonstrates the difference between two type of local forces.
1. A Chief of Police, with a supervising Commissioner/Mayor.
2. A Sheriff that is voted in or out depending on the quality of their service and supervision.
A mayor would never allow a Police chief speak so openly unless the crime occurred under the previous administration.

@@FlexFTK heavy pill movement many years ago
It works both ways, some sheriffs are more corrupt than the people they need to catch, but they are kept in office since most people don't care or are clueless until an actual third party policing agency starts to investigate them for suspicious bullshit.
@@Yeet42069 Indeed. That's a very good point. We need better policing, and collectively we need to be more active citizens. If we participate more locally by going to city council meeting and other events of that nature, the political machinations will be much more awkward with so many eye's on them. It's as simple as going once a year. If one out of 100 people did that it would be standing room only. The interest would force newspapers, radio, and TV to actually cover local news like they did in the early days of TV.
@@johnowen483 Yeah, better trained local and federal agencies and higher training standards are necessary. It would also help if people gave more of a crap indeed, but its not only that. The laws that protect policing agencies from lawsuits need to go and we need separate prosecuting offices who specialize in such cases and are not part of local crime cases or associated with a department in question in any form or way. And we need to have separate entities investigating when internal conflicts show up instead of self investigation. There is no point in training someone to uphold a position of higher power when they can shun their responsibilities due to there being no repercussions when engaging in faulty behavior.
As someone who is moderately conservative and definitely been on cops side of most encounters, i never thought about the lack of immediate accountability preach talked about.

I think his best one was "because we ran out of bullets"
When I was in boot one of the first things I was told was: "Honesty before accuracy and consistency above all else"
And one of the unspoken rules about state and federal employment is; you don't make other people complicit. I have rained hellfire down on coworkers that have tried that with me, and that Sheriff did the right thing.

I appreciate that you touched on a Truth that I suspect a few law enforcement officials are facing. I understand how uncomfortable it can be to find one's self in a position to blow the whistle on colleagues, but if you've told them how you feel about their illegal and unethical behavior and they continue to do it, they're in the wrong job anyway.
I've seen this cop before. He doesn't mess around. He catches pedo's all the time. He does the same thing with them. He shows their pics and tells exactly what they did. It's great that he does that.

Ive always been a floridian i was born and raised and holy god can i tell you this man is amazing and is viewed highly by the people here
This is exactly what needs to be normalized to rebuild trust between civilians and law enforcement. Yes, it looks bad when your department houses bad officers. It looks worse when you get caught trying to hide it. So, transparency and holding your officers accountable has much better long term optics. When departments do this, they take steps to heal public opinion and the safety/support they receive from their community. It's better for everyone. Keep it up Sheriff.
Yep. Being a leader in charge of other people, we are responsible for the people we lead - their mistakes become our mistakes and thus ours to address.
Taking ownership of an issue, even one we have not caused directly, is absolutely critical in situations like this where trust and reliability is what makes the "relationship" work at all (eg. relationship between civilians and law enforcement)
@@kristianjensen5877 Absolutely. And I understand that it's not a simple or easy task. There are political and financial pressures when people can sue the state for such misconduct. But repair needs to start somewhere. And perhaps knowing that those with such power as law enforcement are being held accountable can start to eradicate the behavior at the source of the broken trust to begin with. And perhaps as people start to have more faith in law enforcement, compliance will make the job officers put their lives on the line for immeasurably easier.
Imagine a society where people aren't so hesitant to ask the police for help because they actually believe the police are there to help... or where they don't constantly refuse to communicate or welcome police into their home when they aren't even suspects, they're simply asked to help in an investigation to protect innocent people from getting hurt.
It sounds a lot safer and less fearful to me...... if the police prove worthy of that trust.
I want that.
I assume most people want to not live in fear.
Least of all live in fear of people whose job is to protect us.
As i see is better when you expose the bad apples and make them accountable, it shows you trying to fix things, worse is when you hide and pretends nothing ever happens, then you know the institution is rotten. But the worse thing is corruption fought top-down, the sheriff can punish the deputies by example, but when the corruption is higher in hierarchy , a governor, a president, no one will touch them, they are too big to fall. They can even remove people who ask questions.
@@rachelsarmientotack what you're asking for isn't difficult, it's impossible...
Whether or not law enforcement agencies and departments take those actions won't matter, because there will always be bad apples, and although holding them accountable will deter further bad behavior and demonstrate good ethics, the only focus will be on the fact that a bad apple existed. I'm not saying that corruption and dishonesty is good, or shouldn't be stopped, but that it won't be recognized by the general public. I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that the situation in the video, made national media. What I'm talking about is something that Bill Maher actually had a good segment on recently, and that is that at least half the battle with disinformation, regardless of the topic, is the consumer.
It takes more than just law enforcement agencies and departments to create your little utopian society...

Judging a person by their group association always make you come off as prejudiced, everyone's an individual so judge them individually. I know it's a pain and a lot of the time the stereotype just get proven true, but every once in a while you'll find those people that are crushing it, and they are the best. That being said I have some mad respect of Preach, recognising a bias is a hard thing to do on any level.
That might be true when it comes to things like race. But it's not so true when it comes to things like ideology, gang affiliation, etc. You don't get to choose your race but you do get to choose who you associate with. If you call yourself a Nazi, I'm going to judge you as a Nazi. If you call yourself a police officer, I'm going to judge you as a police officer.
NYPD has been doing these type of nasty practices for YEARS. I've even had officer's steal my whole wallet including identification. It's nice to see someone actually trying to do something.

Dude this happens so much where I live. Everyone knows that if you check into jail with money, it’s gone. People just accept that as a fact, and that’s sad. It might be inconsequential in the big picture, but if every police department operates with this level of accountability and transparency, the world really would be a little bit better.
i love watching this Sheriff. He is always open and honest and VERY straight forward. In my opinion, he is a shining example of what all law enforcement SHOULD be.
Love that he didn't just call them out he was like "Oh I ain't done there I'm gonna show these mother fucker's faces to the whole world"
Yeah that 700 buck should have went into the departments pocket and not the employees.
@@Onthebrink5 What kind of coolaid are you sippin? The bozo's got caught because the 700 was about to be returned to the rightful owner. You can't be this dense right?
HOLY SH!T.......
We need more leaders like him.
This is exactly how police should be trained.
yeah you would be getting those cheeks clapped over a modded Amazon firestick watch that press conference this man can be petty
Umm no dude. He just appeals to our basic instincts for quick justice. That is not a very good mindset for a person to have.
This Sheriff is anti-body camera and anti-transparency. His press conferences are a show. He is the equivalent of a tent show preacher. This show is so he can control the narrative. Never do you see dash cam or body cam footage of an incident he is narrating. He literally stands on a podium and tells a story. Only fools believe this man is telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
If every sheriff was like him we'd be in a better place
That's the kinda sheriff every county needs
They should be punished at a higher level too, but that goes triple for politicians who create dumb laws that police have to follow.
They don't have to, they choose to.
Theres actually laws that heighten punishment for police officers kind of like when someone commits a hate crime theyll add the extra charges.
@@anonymoususer4866 ....due to their oath and the higher standard they are supposed to embody....
With great power comes great responsibility
Also, end qualified immunity....tax payers shouldn't be held to foot the bill of the mistakes these cops make while they get a slap on the wrist and moved to a new precinct.
This is a perfect example of "The cover-up is worse than the crime". Hell, there might not have even been a crime at all, just people being sloppy. At that point, they could have reported they screwed up, taken the penalties, and been better in the future for it. Instead, they tried to hide their mistake and turned it into being dragged on public television and never working in their field again.
And good on this Sheriff. Yeah, it almost seems too minor to blast them like this over, but that's the point. If you allow the little things, eventually you start allowing bigger things. Especially in policing, it's critical to show the public that you will drop the hammer when anyone abuses their position.
Spot on. It wasn't even a crime until they covered it up. Just a dumb mistake.
It's wild how many people will throw everything away for chump change. Seen it at my employers multiple times...you just cant fix stupid. Let's say it was an honest mistake, which I doubt, they would just have to tell the truth, get their ass kickin, and life goes on. 🤷♂
Yeah they are so young & this is how fully corrupt cops start. The smaller thing makes it easier to later on do the larger things.
For real, they obviously weren’t trying to steal or they wouldn’t have written it up in report. Seems like a case of everyone thought the other dude had it and it was left on hood of car type thing. The problem is that they didn’t report and take care of an obvious mistake. I’m sure it would have been slap on wrist, like a write up; if they had just reported it. Pretty dumb
I live in Polk County, FL where Sheriff Judd is and I can tell you he is as stand up a guy as there is. I have had multiple family members arrested by the Polk County Sheriff's Office and they are the most professional and respectful department in Central Florida. I got to say I disagree with Preach's take on cops not checking each other or getting punished for misbehavior. Cops should be held to a higher standard and I believe they definitely are. You saying that there are a ton of cases of misbehavior that don't get reported and handled is like saying most every wife is beating up their husband, it just isn't being reported. It can't be proven or disproven because you say it isn't reported. These cops didn't fuck up by losing the money, though I'm sure they would of been written up and investigated for that. They got arrested and charged because they tried to cover it up. You should watch more of Sheriff Judd's press conferences. He is very entertaining and I especially enjoy when a reporter tries to argue with his putting these criminals on blast for their stupidity.
This dude is a treasure. Recently he did one of these for a guy who tried to car jack several vehicles.
I remember a year or so ago there was a deputy that was planting meth on people. People lost their kids, an older lady was arrested and put in jail, people lost their homes...ALWAYS record a police interactions. There are affordable body cams people can get, and they can record to "the cloud".
Good everybody deserve meth to be planted on them
Oh yeah I’ma get them niggaz
@This is BAXTER There is no problem with the "cloud", if the police doesn't treat you right just post it publicly immediately and it can't be disproven under any measure, the cloud you are talking about that would make more sense is CZcams or better said the internet itself, if people want to see it it won't matter how many times it gets deleted, it will surface back up.
@@pylot5021 if they discover the device they will discover the SD card
I think the sentiment that "just because he caught these guys just means a lot of smarter ones get away with it" is probably true but a tad unfair in this particular instance. This Sheriff and his office can't bear the burden of every police force everywhere in the U.S. This example should be held up as a gold standard for the under performing police stations, rather than diminishing his accomplishments with speculations and what-aboutisms.
The problem is that the only reasons these guys were caught was because their sheriff wasn't corrupt and they were stupid. It's not unfair to point out that you have to be extremely incompetent to get caught doing this. The fact that doing something like this is so easy to do without getting caught is the real issue. Like, we can appreciate that the sheriff did his job, but we can also recognize it doesn't take much to get away with this either. All they had to do was not acknowledge the money in the report and never talk to the evidence holder and the whole case would've been a he said-she said. With three police officers' word vs a criminal's.
also, to add to this, these dudes are Canadian.

I love watching this sheriff, every press conference is an adventure.
now of only we could hold our politicians to a higher standard.
If they didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.
They would all be in jail. There is not a single politician that isn’t in a glorified criminal family. They are basically the current mob.
Politicians are worse then cops imo. There is corruption in policing but politics is by its very nature corrupt. For example Nancy Pelosi does obvious, widely known insider trading and faces zero repercussions. And she's hardly the only.
I would accept being able to hold them to _any_ standard, not just a higher one.
Sheriffs ARE politicians
$700 is a whole check for some people.
And then to get arrested for something that most people think is harmless makes it more annoying and unnecessary.
I thought she got arrested for prescription drugs as well? Sheriff mentioned both as scheduled drugs so I assumed it was prescription.
Marijuana definitely harmless, the other drug depends.
Yeah, me. I’m some ppl. Cop stole my money too!

It's nearly impossible to feel safe and protected when you know the police department in your own neighborhood is shady. My sibling was T-boned by a police cruiser, and instead of admitting he fucked up, he called ALL his buddies to the scene to claim they witnessed what happened. How much power does a single citizen actually have when they are dismissed by 5-6 officers after getting rammed by one of them? Absolute zero.
They don't see themselves as citizens, they see themselves as public servants. And some of them think they're above the law when they consider they aren't citizens.
yeah this totally happened 👊🏻
@@victoriarobertson266 they ARE above the law, in the sense that many laws don’t apply to them. Example, they’re allowed to point a gun at someone in certain situations. They’re allowed to cuff and lock up someone in certain situations, etc. They NEED those privileges in order to do their job, fair. But such privileges should come with immense scrutiny, and nothing but 100% cleanliness should be expected from them.

damn, was hoping to see your reaction to the rest of his speach. It is all great stuff.
Man of integrity who takes his job seriously. Great to see this, we need more people like him.
I've been saying this for years. Those who write and enforce the law need to be held to a higher standard of the law. That means longer prison sentances for the same crimes. Investigations into malpratice and wrong doing. You cannot expect trust if you are not trustworthy.
This is why military issues never start the riots police issues do. The military eats their own, the OG sin is to cause an incident with a headline like "Marine does dumbshit" they will make sure your life is hell until you sweat at the thought of making another mistake.

@@alexkats30 "with great power comes great big booty bit-"
It also sounds like that if they had alerted the right people, they would still have their jobs. The biggest issue is that they were actively trying to cover this up--and police cover ups are intolerable so it has to be addressed strongly.
To be fair, everyone messes up once in a while, so I think it’s fair if they had kept their jobs and gone through the right channels to report it. If it happened again though, they should have been fired the second time around
Why is Donald Trump pretty and I am not? But why does he only have a wife but I have TWO HANDSOME GIRLFRIENDS who I show off in my masterpiece YT videos? Do you know the answer, dear des
Yeah, I don't think they got arrested for losing the money. They got arrested for losing evidence and not reporting it. The fact that they did not report the loss of evidence turn it into a theft.
If they had reported the loss they would have probably been reprimanded and investigated (to see if someone took the money) but that's it.
Exactly. Police should treat all cover ups with that aggression.
You guys make some legitimate points and it’s based on life experiences, truly appreciate how you feel,,, Sheriff Grady Judd is the shit when it comes to being “cut & squared & by the numbers!” Thank you for you video, really enjoyed it.
I really appreciate the way y’all bounce of each other n these conversations. Even when ur both n agreement about somethin, u usually try to play devil’s advocate for the other side of the coin. Y’all r great fr
It's refreshing to hear someone say they are holding police to a higher standard. Because too many times, it appears they are held to a lower standard and they get away with things the average person would be put in prison for and say they know better than to do that. I just wish these guys were punished for something more serious, like for brutality or something.
It's because police brutality is a borderline statistical anomaly. People use it a scapegoat for the actual problems plaguing america
I think that has way more to do with what your perceptions are, rather than reality. Positive or negative, realistically no civilian has any fucking clue what the day to day of a cop/military person is without doing it. Both are heavily depicted in media, 98% of it is inaccurate and dramatized. Individual experiences do not override macro statistics. It’s statistically impossible for cops to be as bad as they are painted, but also the flipside is just as dramatized.
I can’t believe y’all haven’t seen a sheriff Grady press conference before! That man’s story times are legendary. There’s hundreds of them. You gotta check out some of the more crazy shot they have shut down in his jurisdiction. The man is a savage when it comes to arresting and putting criminals on blast.
I hope he's the real deal. it wouldn't be the first public hero that was found out to be also a criminal or despicable.
I shall take the rest of my day looking for said press conferences.
I'd run through a wall for Sherrif Grady
I love that sheriff guy he is great in every interview he does
hi from Australia I love this Chief ,it's not the first time he's charged fellow officers for breaking the law he's a legend
Their actions just put EVERY case they were a part of into question. Now every criminal can complain and they have to look into it.
Let that be a lesson learned. Oh well.
Exactly
That's why I really respect this Sheriff, he does hold his people to a higher standard. Not a standard that lets them get away with stuff you and I would be in trouble for, but stuff like this, you fuck up, you're going to pay.
but he's adamant against body cams, on a basis of trust. Guys doing something sneaky

This is an example of where the leadership and anti-corruption needs to start: the top. I've known quite a few cops and listening to them when their guard is down is way different than when they're on patrol. A lot of times, the municipality or city they work for pushes them to be quiet because the city is worried about being sued. If they admit fault, it's a slam dunk for a lawsuit. There are a lot of politics that go on behind the scene that get in the way of real law enforcement. But when you have a leader at the top who sets this kind of tone, it's better for all of the cops there because they have a clear understanding of what matters which is what the Sheriff laid out at the beginning of the video.
Anti-corruption needs to start anywhere. Bottom or top, it's every individual's responsibility
@@immanuelcunt7296 That's a great ideal, but it's not practical at all. If your boss presses you to do something, a boss who happens to be in the upper escalon of law enforcement, someone who could easily harrass you and your family, you will fall in line. Anti-corruption needs to start from the top so that people below that person in influence will feel more comfortable speaking out about corruption. It will most likely not start from the bottom or middle in the law enforcement heirarchy.
@@immanuelcunt7296 true, but more so the top. If there were a percentage of how pressing it is for things to start at the top, it would be 90% plus and that's a minimum. People at the bottom have less power, less power is less say. It really is skewed that heavily.
I can embody as much benevolence and archetypal justice as I want. But if I'm not in a position where my word, my example, my principle is final; then I can easily get overshadowed and put into a position where I'm thrown to the wolves by a superior.

@@jeffleishman1553 so everyone cries that cops need to hold other cops to a higher standard, they’re all crooks because they protect each other and lie for each other.

Aba sprinkling in that Fresh & Fit comedy is gold! I’ve been watching you guys religiously for about 3 months, once I heard about the F&F bs a while back! I was watching them a lot but was always on the fence with some stuff they talk about and some extremes they go to. P.s. now looking back, I see how much of a clown they are. I love y’all’s content and just want to say keep up the great work fellas!
You see this is the kind of sheriff that we need in every district.
I appreciate the point of view. It may be 750, but still, it’s about TRUST, which the police don’t have in the community. How do things start to change? By doing precisely what this sheriff did no matter what. Glad you guys gave this a fair shot. Fellas, Great video. Keep up the excellent work!
It's important for people in power to understand that $723 is a lot of money to the poorest of the people they're meant to protect, too. That's a lot of food, or a good chunk of their month's rent when they might otherwise be struggling to make rent that month.
this is also a great teaching moment for the other deputies. now they know it's better just to cop to a mistake, document it above board, and carry on with your career - than to run around trying to make backroom deals to hide a foul up in the chain of custody. but really, where did the original money go????
This sheriff is amazing, he doesn't give AF because he will follow the letter of the law and won't bend it for anyone.
That's all well and good until the laws he's enforcing become tyrannical 🙃
Any amount would be too much IMO but its wild that anyone would risk their job or this prosecution for so little money...That makes me think that this is something they are used to doing and getting away with...
I’m always seeing this sheriff. He really doesn’t play with dishonest officers or deputies. Love it man.

I remember the first Reddit story about that cop, I wish more cops where like him. He’s one of the few that sees people as people, not a white man or a black man, just a man. Respect.
I feel like its the other way around, majority see people as people instead of black or white. Its only some that are pretty racist or having internalised Racism of some sort. If the majority of officers were racist out of millions of police interactions per year the number of unarmed black men killed by police a year wouldn't be under 50.
Love the really reasonable view.

I just stumbled on this channel today and for those of you who aren't aware of this Sherriff, his name is Grady Judd, Sherriff of Polk county Florida. When I lived in Tampa from 2010-15 this man was literally on the local news 4-5 times a week. He is amazing!!!

It's 2022 now and I still get CZcams videos of him and I live in WYOMING now!
When it comes to cops, the line we should draw in terms of theft needs to be anything more than $0. These people are given authority and are expected to uphold the law, so they should be held to a much higher standard.

To throw your career away over $723 is ridiculous... that's dumb, that's weird.

Every state, county, city and town needs a law enforcement officer like Sheriff Judd. A man with morals and integrity who upholds the law without bias. Unfortunately he's a dying breed.
When I was a teenager on probation I got pulled over by the police. They searched my car found an ounce of weed,a scale, and a few hundred dollars. They were actually really cool about it and just drove me to my house, didn’t wake up my parents or anything.
The next day I went back to my car and there was no weed no scale and no money in my trunk.
Now that's what I'd call a "Righteous Lick"
In my country they would probably have beaten you up & drove you home to get themselves some more money & take the drugs, scale & weed.
