The situation that people walk away when asked such questions says it all.
so frightening, isn't it?
@@Dr.Pancho.Tortilla Nothing new... just continuing what happend in Soviet times...
Heartbreaking
It happens regularly in the USA too. The USA has the highest reported incarnated rate on the globe. I have no doubt that other countries lie but the question is silly as presented.
@@Victorseafog USA holds the record, out of all imprisoned worldwide 25% are in US.
There's some missing context here about Ivan Golunov, shown at 0:39. His case on drug charges was *100% fabricated* after he wrote articles exposing corruption in Russian society. One of them was about the Moscow Mayor's office, another about the FSB (successor of the KGB). There was so much public outcry after his arrest that the case was dropped after only 4 days and he was released. Later 5 cops who had planted and faked evidence were sentenced to pay him 1M rubles each (~$13,600). None of the people who actually planned this operation ever got in trouble, of course.
In time of war propaganda, the 1420 channel asks thought provoking questions. Good job!

Jail-provoking questions.
Amen!

I agree. But please don't say big balls. Just say guts ffs.
@Bojan Koturanovic my friend worked in Moscow roughly 10 years ago, what they said in the video mirrors what he told me. He was there for a 12 month project, and I quote him here… “it’s the most oppressed country I’ve ever been, I’d never go back”
In his line of work he’s visited a lot of counties. He had no reason at the time to exaggerate his experience to me.
@Bojan Koturanovic like I said I’m quoting what my friend told me. So don’t take offence but I know him and I don’t know you so I’ll take his word over yours. I’m also no hurry to travel to Russia to ask every citizen to find out if your 9/10 is fact or fiction.

it's all about the separation of powers. i'm from romania and the state ca't put me into jail even if they want it to if i'm not iguilty. .of course they can acuse me of everything but find me guilty is another story. because they have to prove it in court. and the court is separated from the state. the state has absolutlly no power over the court. I even sued the autorities and won, because one pipe line was crossing trow my private property and they tried to limit my rights to buil on that property. i sued them i won and made them change the pipe.
Thank you for this comment! Taking into account the past of your country it is very inspiring example of how things can change in only 30 years (or even less). Hope, we'll be able to make such a turn in Russia also.
That's the actual difference between democracy and autocracy. Dictators like Putin try to persuade the people that democracy is just voting the leader, but it is a lie. hitler and mussolini were elected as well. the state of right is the real difference, not the elections.

I am astonished at the clarity of thought and awareness of most of these folks. The young people have such knowledge about the situation where they live. So unlike my fellow stupid Americans who follow a criminal who's color is orange. They believe the government is against them and their votes are stolen. I wish they could spend a week in Russia and find out what a repressive political system is like. One suggestion to these impressive young people, I admire your style all the way up to the point where I see a cigarette. I used to say that here in the USA, only the very old and the very stupid smoke. Now the old ones are dead and the stupid soon follow them. Do your self a big favor, if you smoke STOP now, if you haven't tried smoking-do NOT start. As an old Hollywood star once said::"If I had known I was going to live so long, I would have taken better care of myself". Be well and be free (some day soon I hope) Best wishes from the USA.

Glad to see you posting again guys. Stay safe!
The problem is they built such system here (in Russia) when judges are not elected and not getting punishment for crimes against justice. And they just issue indictments. The rate of acquittals is 0.2%. And sad irony is judges and prosecutors constantly degrade in the field of law (because of impunity), and often can't even follow anti-constitutional laws - their weapon is lawlessness.
They are not real judges, only do what they are told and what brings them money and power. It is way worse than during the Soviet period. During socialism our judges would of course do whatever they were told as well, so if you were anti-communist or political activist or whatever, you went to jail even if you did not do anything, but at least the judges did not work for mafia and some regional strongmen.

Actually sad that this seems like a normal question when it really shouldn't be the government deciding if someone goes to jail but rather the independant courts...
very sad indeed. Slava Alabama !!
It's so sad to see people in Russia be so afraid of their government. In the western countries you can say whatever you want (within the law of course - so no targeted hate speech, incitement to violence etc). You can say that your president is a nasty piece of garbage or worse (and the czech one sure is) and nobody can do anything. That's the beautiful thing about freedom and democracy. The most important value ever. Deserves to be treasured and carefully protected. And never let anybody to take it from you! Never! My dear Russians, I wish you to have it too... when the evil loses... one day! :) /edit To 1420: You guys are doing a great job but please be careful!!
You can do hate speech or incite violence in the USA so long as you do not target individuals or do it in combination with another crime. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded space or specifically threaten an individual with physical harm or death. And even if you do threaten an individual directly it has to be proven to be proven to be credible. The effects in the court of public opinion or by an employer is a completely different matter. For good or bad I thought this was something people around the world understood about the USA?
In Russia it's also "within the law". So beware of what moronic laws your politicians are trying to push if you don't want to end up like Russia.
@@Kokurorokuko That's a very good point!
I'm tired of russian excuses like I'm going to jail and stuff like that just go and protest if their is only 200 000 in Moscow thats enough to remove putin but that's never gonna happen every russian supports putin for 23 years

Latvia, the country that jailed an 18yr for 12 yrs for carrying a flag in public.
Still not a single person in RF jailed for more than 2yrs for any non-violent action of protest since the war broke out. EU has put far more people in jail and for heavy sentences for dissent/protest against the Gov position on the war.

@@ClarkinFlame49810 How 1420 is operating with questions that normaly the Russian state wouldn't accept.

So that it doesn't attract a lot of attention. And the difference of answers between yong and older citizens. Older citizens conservative and believing the state propaganda; the yonger citizens are much more critical and don't watch television...
I can't imagine how many people turned you down for an interview. I'm from Fort Bragg NC USA, keep up the good work you do. Please stay safe👍💯
Hello from Finland, another neighbor of Russia. In Finland, it is not easy to go to prison. Even real criminals often only get suspended sentences. We sometimes have trials for things like hate speech, but the sentences are just fines. You cannot go to prison in Finland because of your opinion, with the exception of refusing military service or civilian service that replaces it.
it's because you're a very mature country
I'll confirm this all, there's no way you can end up in prison for having opposing views. State media itself broadcasts oppositions views all the time so you hear opinions from left to right.
In recent days the headlines are focused on how much the PM should party at her free time. Media speculates if someone at background at party shouts something about drugs or just about booze. Some politicians calls to get PM drug tested and some tell that they used to party too when they were young. (This also on state media.)
Meanwhile russian citizen worry they get imprisoned because their face doesn't look pro-putinic enough...
The scariest thing is not even that people would believe they could go to prison based on the opinion they expressed but that so many of them are convinced that the government is so above any laws that would just fabricate evidence and put them to jail under absolutely false charges. They seem to believe it's easy as breathing to that in Russia, just their "normal".
Law means nothing there, it's just a tool of manipulation. What Toni Tuomanen said above is the legal options in a country that is governed by the law and that doesn't even compare to the country where the law is an executive tool of the government
That’s why Finland is one of the best countries in the world. Russia would be a much better place if it learned from you. We need a Finnish president/government here in Russia
And you have some really nice prisons
Stay safe, thanks for the updates as always, and letting us know the date filmed at the end was great.

The older people who lived in USSR are still more careful to speak their mind even in Baltic states

Never seen it here..🇨🇦 unimaginable actually.
That was an interesting comparison, thanks for doing this video 1420!
Sadly, yes, especially in the case of opposition politicians
Tomorrow will be 54 years since Russian tanks invaded Czechoslovakia. At least 108 civilians were shot in the streets by the "liberators" when protesting or just standing by. At that time it wasn't Nazis but contra revolution they came to "save us" from. Most people did not even know what contra revolution was. The "special operation" lasted for 23 years. Maybe you could ask Russians if they've ever heard of what their country has done to us?
The occupiers destroyed a peaceful, well established liberal democracy already in 1948, then found some Stalinist henchmen to do the dirty work. The rape of Czechoslovakia was the final straw for why my country, Norway, became a founding Nato member, under the leadership of the once very radical Labour party. Small nations can’t defend freedom and democracy on their own. Even if the alliance partners themself got a chequered history. BTW, when the Spring of 1968 was crushed by the Kremlin criminals, the whole radical left up here finally lost all hope that the USSR had any solutions to offer. Sadly, some of them thought Mao had better ideas! ;-)

Thank you very much 1420 for the insight you give the world what mostly ordinary Russians and for comparison Riga inhabitants contemplate about the same issue. It is comforting that most Russians realize the dire state they are living in, but with dictatorship from the Kremlin, they cannot get rid of it . It is probable that the present Russian regime will implode one day from the inside , a sort of giving up a completely hopeless strive for eternal oppression of the Russian people. No dictator has reigned for ever, so the days of the Kremlinists are counted . They will disappear in oblivion !!! Balschoje Spasiba !!!
East Germany did it. You put more people on the street than the police and army can deal with and then the Government is afraid and not the other way round. Most Russians seem to just like the way things are I’m afraid.

In some democracies you do not go to prison for voicing your opinions. Not all democracies are equal. A few of them are not real democracies, they are shells. It’s not binary, even democracy exists on a spectrum!

The UK has both tory candidates for PM publicly stating they intend to remove the right to protest.

Your a brave person to ask such things in public during the war, I hope they leave you alone
Greetings from Latvia :) It was kind of unexpected to see you interviewing here. As a local I want to share my opinion with you about this question. Overall I think that is possible that you can be arrested or smth like that if you crossed some politician road, but it all depends what percent of people from population of country can be arrested like this. Here in Latvia, Riga I've literally have not heard about such situations, but also you should remember that here journalism is not such developed as it is in Russia. I mean some opposition media etc. So because of that it can be situation that such arrests happens, but no one knows about that. Overall I've never heard about such situation in my circle of friends or family (or somewhere from local media or internet). They all have different opinions about our government, but no one has ever had such problems as it was described in a video. So I think here it is closer to impossible that somewhere in Russia.
It's hilarious how liberals in this video will be like "omg putler is absolute evil, it only happens in Russia". Meanwhile, if they thought farther (beyond ideology) then they would see it happens in almost every country in the world - maybe besides some liberal-socdem countries eg. nordic countries, Germany, etc. - but you get censored in many other ways and you can get easily penalized, if you speak against establishment or current establishment narration. Like you deny the holokaust or something like that. Currently it's saying something like "Putin good" or saying something against Ukraine (like Azovites or Bandera, which killed minorities like Jews and Polish people).
If you say something like "Putin good" in my country (Poland) then you literally can and will be trialed for something (they will make up some "promoting radical ideology" or "threatening public safety") and in some cases maybe even treason (because it gets you higher sentence).
It will happen in most countries, because they do not represent the people. You would need People's Government based on People's Republic like in China or other countries. So you either can get "arrested for nothing" (eastern countries, arabic, etc.) or "for hate speech" (western liberal countries). Hopefully USSR 2.0 is coming back to Russia and seeing how Putin (Russian centrist btw) penalized CPRF which gains popularity in Russian population, yeah.
There is even one guy "Zbigniew Stonoga", which had like 140 acquittal cases and they keep throwing more shit at him in hopes of something sticking or in hopes of mentally and physically wearing him out by wasting his time through summoning him to court (and not allowing him to leave the country). And Poland is disgusting lapdog of USA and they represent their interest, but it's exactly how they want it.
What do you mean by saying "journalism(in Latvia) is not such developed as it is in Russia, by opposition media". Latvia ranks respectable 22th position in press freedom index, but you believe opposition media is better developed in Russia, ranking 155th among 180 countries?
@@Sourusophyexe Do not really know is it an answer to my comment. But if I got your idea right there is no black and white thing in a world. So that is obviously that you can be put in a jail everywhere if you somehow invade in politics. But as I mentioned it all depends on that how frequently it is done and how many people are in jail because of similar sentences. I've just only mentioned that such things is kind of easy to track in Baltic countries, because of count of people. I will not lie, if it tell that in Riga, Latvia everybody knows everyone, so if someone will get such sentence it would be kind of surprise, because it will be news of the day.
@@netiturtle I mean that in Russia you can easily find media that are in opposition with a government like "Meduza","Mediazona", "Дождь" etc. In Latvia we don't really have big opposition media. That statistics that you mentioned may be about freedom of journalism overall, but there is no separate media that truly shows of opposition. Maybe it is because of the society is not so divided (what I can't really say, because here in Latvia we have a lot of people who really want to bring back USSR). But what I was trying to say. In Russia you can find a lot of media that try to show different view, when in Latvia it is not.
P.S. Such big Russian medias as "Meduza" and "Дождь" now works from Latvia. So that can be also the point why Latvia ranks higher in your mentioned top. But what I was talking about is that thing that in Latvia we have freedom for journalists, but we don't really have different opinions in a media etc. So it more looks like that everyone have similar opinion when in real life that is not true at all.
@@igorj200 If there is no single "opposition" media and ppl are not thrown to jail for their opinions it means most journalists have good ethics and they do their jobs properly. Go Latvia! I mean for example US opposition media Fox News is so biased that its blatantly unethical journalism, and its really close there for ppl ending up in jail just because mr. orange doesnt/didnt like you.
woe this was fantastic, great work.
It can happen anywhere including the US but that's more of an exception rather the norm and the likelihood of overturning the false allegation is higher as you go up the judicial system.
To Girl on 1:18, no It does not
It’s been a while and I thought something had happened to you guys. Clearly still choosing your drinks wisely. I like the same question dual country format. In the UK you can say and do whatever you like if anything the police here are arguably too soft. The reality is that in the developed democracies of the western world citizens have nothing to really fear from governments as the free press and rule of law is strong. Really the separation between the judiciary and government. In the UK the armed forces ultimately swear loyalty to the queen and not the prime minister which also helps. In some countries in NATO like Turkey those freedoms I don’t think are anywhere near as guaranteed. That said it’s clear that Russia is up there with China and N Korea as the kind of dystopian future mankind needs to avoid.

I dont believe you.
the question is bold and ambiguous at the same time. Because there are miscarriages of justice in every country. But there is a difference between an error and an intentionally brought about innocent conviction. In a constitutional state, the principle of innocence is always followed. Only when the verdict has been proven with certainty will it be pronounced. In an unjust state, the verdict is set before it is proven. Loocking Navalny.

Man. It's an interesting topic. Here in Mexico, recently there are informs that a lot of people in jail (I remember heard that more than 30% of the jail population) is not guilty (but not innocent) or had issues with their trial, or there are stupid things with their "crimes".
Also, the state is terrifying in some places.
Some examples:
1) A gay uncle was with my grandmother in the subway, a group of persons accused him for touching a minor girl, the little girl was forced by their family to declare that without proofs, then my uncle was tortured (suffocated and his hair was burnt) by mexican police in order to declare himself as guilty. He stood in the jail for few months for lack of proofs.
2) Another uncle was in jail cause he beat a guy who was beating his girlfriend smashing her face into the street. When my uncle was smacking that guy, the girl defend his boyfriend and, with her face spitting blood, acuses my uncle of violence. My uncle was in jail for almost a year.
3) A cousin during his high school, was taken by some guy who put a knife on his neck. He beat the robber so bad that the police though it was him the robber. Multiple officers leave the real robber and tried to put my cousin in the police car. An old lady save my cousing beating the police and explaining the truth
4) In front of my house, a garbage guy (he was minor), was smoking mari**na pacefully. A mexican Karen call the police cuz she was affraid of the garbage teenager. Then, 4 patrols, 2 motorcicles, and 1 pick up, came for this minor.
5) The mother of a friend was in jail some years for sopporting in her youth the communist party in Mexico. They accused her for ter**rism
6) The man lover of a past president was putting into jail for false accusations and was ra**ed in that time
7) A few years ago, a mexican teenager vacationist, was taken in the Riviera Maya for polices for uknown reasons, then his family found his body ra**ed and then died by internal hemorrhages in their intestine... yep: the tourist paradise sometimes is the mexican hell. In the jail videos, the teen was unconscious, and even in this state, was beaten inside the jail by the police
8) Few years ago, a high school mexican guy was taken by police from Mexico City, he dissapear and then was found with mental illness and with tort**red signals. The blood analisys found we has intoxicated with meds and plants so that he would forget what he saw
9) The most famous case where 43 rural students where taken by the police during a protest, cuz they burnt a bus full with drugs (they didin't knew that) belonging to a mexican cartel called Guerreros Unidos. The Mayor of that town (Iguala, Guerrero) ordered the police to take those students and handed to the mexican cartel. The guys were tort**red, one was skin**ed alive. The former goverment hide everything and invented a history called "La verdad histórica" (the historical truth), cuz there were a lot of things involved: massive corruption in the current county, the drug load belonging to the mayor, the army knew what happened but a high hierarchy generals ordered the slaugh**ter, high public officers (some arrested in the past months) ordered torture and altered the scene for creating a fake case, Israel sold spy software to the mexican government for spy the ones who wanted to know the truth. In other words, that police, drug cartels, army, public officers, and big guys in goverment, are part of the same structure, and that some states are completely out of control of the state.
For that reasons and more, I have afraid of the state and their police. I yep, nobody asked for this topic :')
Glad to see you back. I was afraid Putin put you in one of his cages.
It was CZcams cage :D For hate speech in lgbt video 🤦♂️
Great question. I think it's possible everywhere if one becomes an enemy of the power. Especially if you hold opinions that is considered controversial making it less likely journalist will stand up for ones cause. It also happens in Sweden.
The same picture at 5:17 is on display near the Russian embassy in Bucharest as well.
I think Amazon is selling them - they come in different sizes!😛
Amazing work guys! Stay safe ❤️
Brilliant piece. Well done. Ceterum censeo Putin esse delendam.
I think that this is possible everywhere, perhaps it happens less frequently than in Russia, or is dependant on what party is in power at the time, but it can still happen. In my country, in the not too distant past, there were at least two very questionable suicides.
I live in the country that currently has Julian Assange held in a notorious prison which also houses terrorists. A country that is changing its laws regarding certain freedoms. Perhaps all of us should try not to be complacent and actively protect our rights.
I am from the US and she is not wrong! I am middle aged white female with a much lower risk of police brutality but I have suffered many times from dirty policing! I have so many stories! I used to be a prison nurse and sometimes the guards were worse than the inmates. Just awful people. I was almost raped by a police officer that let himself onto the mental ward that I was charge nurse of. My mother taught me to never stop for them until I get to a well lit public place. I hope that one day our police brutality will be a rarity instead of the norm! I think that we are doing a much better job holding them accountable. One day you guys will be free and it's going to be so amazing!
Well, strictly speaking, of course this is technically possible in any place, of course someone could be framed but the question is: does it happen?
No, not really.
that's exactly what I was thinking,. Could it happen in germany? yes, of course, if someone with power really wants to destroy you, they'll find a way. But it's not normal & is very unlikely to happen.... & if it comes out, the one who did it would be ruined.
"No, not really" where?
@@sebaleinyou poor naive soul.
Nope, it doesn't happen everywhere 1:15, in some countries perhaps, definitely not in my country, as criticism of the government is relentless 😄
где ты живешь, если не секрет?
In Finland at least, you can say meaner things about politicans, than you can say about anyone else. For politicians, it comes with the job. But if said to a normal citizen, you may get defamation charges. Verbally bashing politicians is popular, and they lose their job from the smallest mistake
@thetimekillerx Yeah personal life mistakes are allowed to Finnish politicans, to some extenet. But for actual mistakes I mean things like corruption or breaking the law, or generally slipping out something dumb.. it doesn't have to be big to get them out. Anneli Jäättenmäki, Ilkka Kanerva, Mika Niikko, Antti Rinne, Katri Kulmuni to name a few more recent. It's good because they get good salary and serve the voters, so they should be on their toes
@@shredd5705 In Finland the president is not allowed to dance 🤣
@@more8116 You don't really understand what made it a scandal in Finland. Foreigners completely miss the point, because of the language barrier.
There were people in the apartment that were likely doing cocaine, and our PM will have to take a drug test, to prove she didn't snort any coke herself. She claims she didn't know everyone at the party. It's not visible to foreigners who just see the dance moves, it's evident in the conversations that are heard off-camera. Things like "Fuck, this stuff makes you feel so good" (followed by panic by the people being filmed, trying to prevent filming and making "lalalalala" noises to cover what was said) "Hey guys come test with me" "Come test this" heard off-camera.
And the worst, the part where person right next to our PM shouts "Powder gang" although it's not really clear if that's what she shouted, because of background noise. However audio experts consulted by newspaper have confirmed she was shouting powder gang, powder means cocaine or amphetamine in Finnish drug slang. Basically she shouts "cocaine gang" and then there's nervous laughter after it. Although there's some differing opinions among top audio experts, about what was actually said. There's also a woman who has a runny nose, which she tries to cover with her hand, a symptom of snorting cocaine. Actually the same woman has taken many publicity photos of the PM.
This is not about dancing, Finns don't give a fuck about dancing or drinking, we are heavy drinkers. Marin has been drinking and partying before, nobody cared. This time however, it seems her friends might be doing cocaine (they are culture people, influencers, just the kind of people who could) and that's bad enough for her career to end, even if she didn't snort any.
Anyway, there's no rock hard evidence about the cocaine, it just seems more likely than not. So she might get off the hook, if the drug test is clean. Because of her general popularity, saying she didn't know everyone there and handling some other things well, like NATO application and the pandemic. It's so stupid how foreigners think it's a scandal because of some stupid dance, you don't understand the language so you can't do the detective work that our media did, by slowing down audio, removing background noise with computer algorithms to hear what was said etc... They tried to dig the truth up, there was no full consensus, but it leans towards "cocaine gang".
Personally I'm 100% sure they did cocaine there, and our PM should resign, even if she didn't touch it. She was aware. It's a hard drug, and very much illegal in Finland. Not to mention, produced unethically in S-America, by cartels who routinely murder people. In addition, later footage popped up where a famous musician was kissing her in a bar, even when she's married with a 4-year-old daughter. She didn't kiss back, pushed him away in a friendly manner, but kept dancing and holding him. Claiming it was a friend.
However it doesn't look good, she parties too much, with the wrong kind of people. The popularity has gotten to her head. PM should be able to respond to a crisis 24/7. Several emergencies have happend right in the middle of night, like the sinking of Estonia where 800 died and other severe logistics related tragedies or natural catastrophes. PM needs to be able to respond with 5 minute warning time, even if she was sleeping
Love your work, keep it up
Wow... you came to Vilnius (my city)... dabro pozalovat tagda :)

I'm a US Federal cop and there is no sanctioned police brutality. When it happens it's on an individual basis. People have a right to protest against the police, they have a right to curse police. They don't have a right to physically harm police.
Rubbish. The laws ALLOW it. When there is no risk of punishment for violence then it is officially sanctioned.
@@sisyphusvasilias3943 Cite me the US Federal code that says police officers are allowed to use lethal force anytime they feel like it.
@@sisyphusvasilias3943 simply untrue. There is adequate legislation and legal instruments so any brutality is NOT sanctioned. There are some situations in which people are not brought before the courts, or IMO where the law is not applied adequately. However I am not American. Do miscarriages of justice happen there, yes, I am pretty certain they do, but not because of state sanctioning, but rather as a result of the political system that allows their courts political appointees who then seem to go on to serve pretty much forever. This lack of true independence is problematic, but does not equate to state sanctioning.
@@goeast12 It can work both ways.
@@user-pg3wy6zb5b You have no idea what you're talking about. You are being totally ignorant of US law or any court cases concerning police brutality. You obviously have not studied recent cases of US police brutality in the media and how many cops get convicted for taking the law into their own hands. You obviously haven't been following current events. You spout off a bunch of B.S. purely out of emotion.

I'd like to tell you that nobody is unjustly imprisoned in America, my country.
Sadly, I can't say it never happens.
What I can say is it's rare, it's considered corrupt, and it's illegal.
We have an independent judiciary. That means the courts don't work for law enforcement, they work to find truth and often find people who've been arrested to be innocent. Some times they are found to not have committed the crime they are charged with and sometimes law enforcement makes a mistake that causes their case to be thrown out. Sometimes, of course, the person charged with the crime is found guilty and is punished.
But there is corruption and some judges and police are corrupt. That's where our free press can be important.
Here is how the constitution of the United States begins:
_We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America._
We aren't a perfect union. We're not a perfect people.
But with our cherished freedoms the majority of Americans who are good people will always strive toward that goal.
PDX, what do you say for the American 🇺🇸 citizen that was railroaded by evidence withheld by lawyers or the police to obtain a lengthy incarceration?! This is also the tragedy of our system and how it maligns innocent people. A substantial payout to the one finally exonerated can’t make up for the State stealing one’s life! In many ways, our system is flawed which is the real threat to a more perfect Union.
@@OSTARAEB4 *"PDX, what do you say for the American 🇺🇸 citizen that was railroaded by evidence withheld by lawyers or the police to obtain a lengthy incarceration?!"*
I say that person is the victim of a crime.
Those responsible should be prosecuted. If found guilty they should be punished.
*"A substantial payout to the one finally exonerated can’t make up for the State stealing one’s life!"*
I couldn't agree with you more. Punishing corrupt judicial and law enforcement with lengthy prison sentences will hopefully discourage others.
Those are very important positions and people who perform fairly and honestly should be rewarded. Those who abuse their power need to pay.
*"In many ways, our system is flawed which is the real threat to a more perfect Union."*
If you're looking for an argument, you won't get one from me.
America isn't free of corruption, from trillions of dollars stolen from middle class taxpayers and funneled into pockets of wealthy and powerful in schemes like Reagan's Saving & Loan deregulation and Bush Jr's mortgage scandal to Trump labeling Qatar a state sponsor of terrorism, until they bailed Jered Kushner out of a disastrous real estate deal on 666 Fifth Avenue, New York City for $1.1 billion. Doesn't everybody who's renting fully pay off a 99 year lease, up front?
But we have a free press. These topics can be discussed.
It just feels to me like we're light years ahead of Russians, Chinese or North Koreans as we strive for a more perfect union. Do you think the majority of their citizens are even trying?
@thetimekillerx *"in general American system seems like show and joke from European perspective. And it is often viewed on some occasions in media as such, on serious hand nobody can ever get their head around how can system exists and was it made purposefully for movies."*
Did you see that movie about the cruise on an ocean liner that crossed the Atlantic without incident? Neither did anybody else.
Movies and novels that feature the American legal system will often to use it's flaws and peculiar features, and flaws and peculiar features of fictional or real judges, juries, lawyers and their clients, as dramatic devices.
The incidences *OSTARAEB4* addresses should not be trivialized as Hollywood entertainment.
*"Jury and opinions of people ... "*
As opposed to what? We're guaranteed the right to a jury of our peers. America's founding fathers did not promise a jury of robots, computers and angels.
*" ... let alone deals?!?!"*
I hope you realize that while I'm a proud patriotic American liberal who's happy to defend my country, I'm not here to defend the indefensible. So I'll give you some ammunition for your argument.
Corporate mid-level managers engage in fraud, for example search for *Wells Fargo Bank fraud.* The federal government investigates and the corporation's lawyers settle with a fine. Share holders pay, the CEO retires, a new CEO promises "a comprehensive plan to address the problems" and the guilty are back at work, except the former CEO, who's enjoying a life of leisure with more money that 100 average American workers will see in their lifetimes.
Nobody goes to jail.
This happens over and over. Polluters, financial institutions and in other industries.
You sound like somebody who likes American movies. Watch _The Big Short._ It's a reasonably accurate telling of the collapse of the American mortgage system which had serious international implications. Search for *Financial crisis of 2007-2008.* Made in America, predictable result of my fellow Americans giving Republicans the White House for two terms.
This will continue to happen until these people see the inside of a jail cell.
*"In some matters I view US as shinier, better version of Russia or Russia as much worse version of US in every regard"*
If you can't see a very bright line separating America and Russia, in terms of who you identify with, who you want to align with, where you'd be more comfortable living, you should make a decision. I don't know if this is somebody's joke or a serious effort by the Russian government, but there's a campaign encouraging people to move to Russia. Head on down to the Russian embassy, they'd welcome you with open arms.
*"Thinking that somewhere is much worse like on comment above is way to degradation."*
You're right, saying the United States is better than Russia and China is faint praise. My point is that there are three countries with the power to move the world right now. I look forward to the European Union becoming the fourth someday. I threw in North Korea because, North Korea.
I'm a programmer, not a lawyer. This is *NOT* legal advice. Anybody coming to America to test our legal system should consult an attorney before hand.
@thetimekillerx I have really enjoyed the conversation you two are having and hat's off to PDX Dragon for being open-minded enough to offer discourse without taking offence.
I think the biggest issue the U.S has is that it has been shown to be not impartial when it comes to dealing with the rich and famous.
The self-styled 'Land of the Free' with the highest incarceration rate per capita on the planet cannot find a single reason to throw trump or any of his powerful enablers in gaol for even a minute, but possession of a small amount of recreational cannabis can see the book thrown at you if you are poor or powerless.
@thetimekillerx I couldn't agree more. New Zealander here btw. The general population are constantly told that they are the "shiny city on a hill" (grassy knoll more like!) and I suspect it might hold them back from trying to achieve universal healthcare, put an end to the decades long spree of school massacres etc etc.
I mean, why change anything if every where else is worse off, right?
The body language of some people as they try to talk themselves out of that question!!!
Is a piece of cake in place like China, Afghanistan, North Korea, Cuba, Mexico, is a bit more difficult in other but is still possible!
Czech here. I do believe something like this could happen in my country as well. However, it would be extremely rare. You know how it is, never say never. But I feel much more comfortable even with some of those id*ots in charge of Czechia rather than those in Russia.
Also, I know corruption is not exclusive to any place on Earth, but there's this feeling here. The more you go east, the more corrupted it gets. I know it's generalisation and it's kind of stupid. But it really shows how a lot of things degenerated over time and it was almost directly corelating with how far away Moscow was.
I will say it again. All those nationalistic Russians need to finally understand this is 21th century and they won't be allowed to get away with this sh*t anymore.
Thanks 1420 team for these videos. Thanks for showing us there are as well wholesome people amongst id*ots over there.
Sure, it could happen, but there is a high chance that it would be leaked to media and there would be large protests in whole country. So yeah, theoretically it can happen in western countries also, but in reality it does not happen. In Russia, it happens every day actually. Imagine if all journalists who criticized Babiš suddenly went to prison? Imagine that all the main guys from "Milion chvilek pro demokracii" were charged for drug dealing, whole country would know its fake, and no one could do something about it. It is an unrealistic thought in Czechia. In Russia, such people would be arrested or dead in a month, if they did such protests in Russia.
@Wilhelm Eley Exactly. That is also the reason why all populists and especially Putin always attack journalists.
I just love your channel! Great job dudes!
I think there is an opportunity to be locked up because someone in power takes a dislike to you in most countries. The difference is that in most countries that you can soon be freed because there is a rule of law that it mostly transparent and generally friends/family won't get arrested for asking questions, the press is free to ask questions and can print it without being prosecuted. The people in power know this and therefore mostly do not try to lock up opponents.
Not in Ireland, people in power need to be very careful here abusing their power or they will be the ones in trouble.
Have you thought of ever visiting Krasnoyarks to speak with those citizens about US relations? Most people of the US and not certain about Russians are unaware of the Siberian C47 planes that were given to Russia in the Lend Lease act of WW2. Planes were manufactured in the US, flown to Canada and Canadian and US pilots handed them over to Russian pilots to fly over Siberia. I believe there is to this day American appreciation day every year in that city
They guy with the NYPD hat cracks me up..
This happens in the UK. Tweet something the state doesn't agree with and the police will wind up at your door!
How'd you get into latvia? :D
I LIKE that lady who says it happens every where.......only problem is ..IT DOESN'T!
Very interesting 👌
hi young guys ! .. happy to look at your videos again .. afraid something happened to you .. I hope Russian people can find as soon as possible more freedom of speaking ...
It's definitely done in the US. I'm living proof. It happened to me. We have catchall charges under the state code like "resisting arrest" or "disorderly conduct" where the local police can throw you into jail without a valid reason. And even if it gets thrown out and you win the court case, you still lose. It costs a lot of money and you are forever tarnished with an arrest record, even if the charge was thrown out.
"fleeing and eluding" was always a favorite accusation that cops would use, although it's much harder for them to get away with that now with surveillance cameras, drivewise tracking devices and dashcams. A driver in Florida sued a cop for $2,000 using the cop's own dashcam recording proving the cop was wrong. LOL!
BS. You are not tarnished in the US forever if you have not been convicted of a crime. Tarnished by whom? Neighbors? Employers (who can only know if you’ve been convicted of a crime)? Santa? Local police throwing an innocent person standing on a street corner minding your own business? Nonsense. ‘Resisting arrest’ and ‘disorderly conduct’ don’t read to me as though you were just strolling to the local store - hmmm, wonder if it had to do with a riot.🤔 You were detained in jail for a day or 2 for breaking at least 2 laws (certainly more). Grow up. That isn’t what is being discussed here.
@@pacmanc8103 Good question. Here's the answer. My parents paid a fortune to have my record expunged under a pretrial diversion program. I really wish they hadn't done that. Here's why. Employment applications no longer ask "have you been convicted of a felony?" Instead "Have you ever been arrested and if so, what for"? So if you are to answer that honestly, it never goes away. Also, the cops can still see you've been arrested even with my so called expunged record. The details go away and for years after my incident, on traffic stops they could see the arrest and asked what it was for.
As for the second part of your question, I was yanked out of my car at a red light in Miami Beach by a plain clothes cop who immediately put me in a choke hold and body slammed me to the pavement in front of hundreds of people. This sort of thing was common in the 90s and from the looks of the reviews on google of the Miami Beach Police department, they're still up to the same old bag of tricks.
I was a good kid, I never got in trouble for anything in my life. I didn't use drugs or drink. I still don't drink to this day. Whatever your assumptions are, they are wrong.
@@TheKingOfInappropriateComments Oh - so you were diverted pre-trial! Why did a plain clothes police officer in Miami yank you out of the car? What were you arrested and charged with, resulting in a diversion program? BTW, most state laws prohibit employers asking about criminal histories prior to pre-employment offers. That’s fairly common. Some state laws - like in mine - prohibit asking about arrests and not convictions. Oh - I’m not assuming anything. Just trying to understand the facts.
Philip C not Miami. Miami Beach. You aren't even reading. Your comment about employers asking if applicants have been arrested isn't correct and i know this because the last employer that asked this on an application was a police department. You really have no idea what you're talking about.
Only in Russia. Can you imagine living in a state of fear 24/7 of your government?? No country should be lead by fear. That's not living life to it's full potential as God intended. I almost feel sorry for Russian citizens.
You are right, but I'm feeling very sorry for the Russians citizens and particularly for the young Russians who are courageous but haven't a future in this country so long they are in such Russia. They probably dream to go in a démocratic country like Lithuania or Estonia.
Or to be enough engaged to throw this Putin politic oppression. I think it's look easy behind my screen and really hard in reality.
