Reckless irresponsibility by KIA!!! I won’t be car shopping there!
The cars themselves should be enough to keep you and I away😂
Hope not with all the theft from those cars.
I think you are the irresponsible one if you buy a Kia.
I was making a point, sweet CZcams commenters 😂. Please. I drive a car that eats Kias for snacks.
@@lulub9421 you should feed your car better.
Sue the hell out of them.
Make the taxpayers yay
@@Chris-em4fl make the company pay
I applaud the gentleman for keeping his cool and complying with the officers. This could have ended up very badly.
If he will be white maybe not.
There has to be an insurance, false claim loophole, where they can pocket money because the same thing is happening at Hertz and Uhaul rentals. Why is this not being investigated more thoroughly?
They have been for years and nothing has changed.
How do you know it isn't?
Man is about to own a Kia dealership
even if he could pay for a lawyer and win...hah,not even close,wasn't shot or tortured ya know.
@@bloodlove93 Just because he wasn't shot or tortured doesn't mean he wasn't psychologically scarred.
@@touyang9479 😂
@@martinnunez836 i had . Here in Cali . But to me nothing happened here. He was treated like a glass of fine champagne 🥂
That dealership needs to take responsibility.
This man needs to sue the Dealership, and the police department need to fine the Dealership for mis-use of resources and false report.
As well as racial profiling
Holy crap. I hope he sues
My husband is in a loaner from the dealership right now. Fixing his antenna. It’s been a week now. This is unreal
Sue! Sue! Sue!
Ya
So after you rent a car, just go straight to the police office first. Got it
Just want to let everyone who drives a Kia know. You have the current most stolen car this year. So every officer is probably running your plate.
Make sure to pay your registration on time.👍
Don't buy a KIA. Period.
interesting how kia suddenly takes the theft of kias seriously. i guess it makes a difference if they are on the hook or not
Oops. That actually works? At a minimum, they filed a false police report. Lost paperwork or not.
How is paperwork misplaced in 2024? Am I taking it too literally? Was it actually a file deleted on whatever system they use?
If you have never worked in a dealership before, all of their systems are ancient with the dot-matrix printout and carbon copy paperwork. So, in this case, it was literally misplaced in the wrong manila folder or accidentally trashed ala basura-ed.
Diversity hires and a depressed America.
Standards are dropping fast
Never underestimate the power of Affirmative Action. Oops, I did it again...
Well, dot matrix or not, they are stupid!!
Clearly, regardless of how cheap they are regarding printers, this would be on computer. Just hitting delete wouldn't do it. "Are you sure?" Someone did this deliberately, and they will go to jail.
Being in a reported stolen vehicle is one thing, but one that’s labeled ‘armed and dangerous’ requires certain parameters to be met, such as a vehicle taken during a carjacking. Either law enforcement incorrectly categorized the vehicle as armed and dangerous, or the dealer made additional incorrect statements.
What I don't get if it was just car theft and no evidence of owner having access to weapons- why all the weapons drawn on the stop?
All those weapons makes a lethal accident more likely. When you are told to raise your hands, that will thin out your waist and could cause one's pants to start drooping falling. That triggers a reflex response to hold your pants, but to a nervous cop, it looks like you are reaching for a weapon and they will shoot. This has happened in the past with tragic results.
I'm sure this will be settled out of court. If this lawsuit reaches the courtroom, what kind of verdict and award would a jury render? Most likely $$$
He’s got a very sympathetic witness in his beautiful wife too. Oh yeah, they’ll be settling out of court.
a few cars maybe, he wasn't assaulted or anything serious.
if you think cops pulling guns on you gets you money...no...you'll be lucky if you don't get shot,be grateful for that.
@@bloodlove93 He's seeing the car dealership for making a false report due to negligence.
He's not seeing the law enforcement.
A computer never forgets. What happened here?
1st off Car pros sucks they are shady AF and not to mention the behavior of the orange county pd acting like keystone cops doing this with a black guy no less, good going OC PD!
what does him being black have anything to do with it. Dealership said it was stolen, cops found it. Dealership was wrong. Cops just did their jobs, as the should do regardless of if he's black or white, eventually they heard the guy out and decided the dealership was indeed wrong. Case solved. Good for them.
1st off, it’s Orange County Sheriff’s, not PD. 2nd, what was “keystone cop” like about what the deputies did? It was a felony stop being conducted by a task force, some of which were working in plain clothes. And 3rd, what difference does it make that the driver happened to be black? It sounds to me like you simply do not like the police.
@@aq043 1st off Keystone cops as in the way they approached the guy an unarmed singular person was almost comical yet pathetic and overkill. 2nd it was an "alleged" felony stop we are all innocent until proven guilty. 3rd, just because i critique or give my opinion about something does not imply dislike or have lack respect. oh and last i checked, OC Sheriff's dept is part of OC PD.
They didn't know anything. This was a standard felony stop. The police did nothing wrong here.
@ThatCaymanGuy No it wasn't an alleged felony stop. It WAS a felony stop. What a ridiculous proclamation.
That's awful, I saw real car thief running around all over L.A. 4-5 time in a week, and they are treated way better then this guy, I saw car thief ditched a car and walking like nothing happened the cop ran after them then tackled them down, but they treated this guy way worst then those real thug.
Facts
The guy was white huh?
Same as swatting, attempted unsubscribing to life
Sue the dealership and police department
The really confusin' part is how "armed and dangerous" fits in. Did the dealership make that claim or did the police assume it?
SOMEONE DEFINITELY DROPPED THE BALL AND NOBODY OWNS UP TO IT BUT PLAYING THE BLAME GAME 🤔
Police never show up with a swat team for a regular citizens car stolen
If the White Woman were in the car, he wouldn’t have had to show his freedom papers.🙄
Dealership needs to be sued
Sue those bastards for $ 100 million. SHAME on them.
Sue Kia and sue the cowboy PD for letting them loose like that
I heard the guy is going to sue the dealership. I hope he wins and gets a new car. That dealership is run by idiots.
What a beautiful couple. As a mixed black woman, business owner and highly educated with earned JD and MBA degrees, prejudice, (prejudging me in a negative light) has been what I have encountered all my life.
When I was younger in Thousand Oaks California, a perspective employer said he could not hire me because he needed someone dependable and I would have children.
Well, I am almost 55 and I have never been pregnant in my life; neither married nor gay. I have dedicated my life to serving my staff and residents. Many women of color are dependable and do not sleep around.
That's a ishtty deal. Life is hard enough as it is to get through, without having an extra burden. Hope you have found fulfillment in your career, and peace in your life. You have my respect! (Middle aged white guy here)
@@samuelg3586 I wish it didn't matter as well.
“SUE”
thats not a mistake thats just shoddy work by the dealership, shame on them, it was their mistake and not the customer who hired the vehicle.
Just ridiculous. 😮
yea, let's not jump to conclusions and hear the other side. Possible they refused to return the loaner car when requested. Why else would the dealer call the wife that morning and say her husband is going to be arrested? If they lost the paperwork they wouldn't know who had the car.
The dealer probably figured who had the car after they reported it stolen.
Sue them! Go pick up your car, done or not, leave that loaner car sitting right where it is. Let the dealership come and get it! NO excuse for this. This could have gone horribly wrong!
Why would the cops come out with guns in hand? They could've just pulled him over and speak with him.
youre kidding me right? thats what they do, they arent mind readers knowing if the felon is "friendly" or dangerous. one of our cars got stolen and even the police warned us if we found it to not touch it or else if a cop see's it they will be pulling the car over guns drawn. felons are dangerous.
they do that if you aren't white enough to glowbin the dark...or did to me and im not even a tenth as dark as him.
but i didn't go crying or changing my life because of it,and i was onky 18 and single when it happened.
this fully grown and married man is embarrassing himself on tv.
If the car was reported stolen, that is standard protocol for a high risk Stop
Not the cops fault
This man need to sue the Dealership, and the police department need to fine the dealership as well for misuse of resources
it was reported stolen, dude. @@bloodlove93
I agree the police did not have to do a felony stop especially if they did not have to chase him.
He’d owed MILLIONS for the mental anguish that KIA car dealership put him through.
They are laying it on really thick they're going to take it all the way to the bank
Again... more crazy, weird, threatening,... people in Southern California....
I need his lawyer
Sue 'em...
heavy handed cops threaten to shoot? pathetic old news
Piggies need a lawsuit too!
Clowns at car pro. 😂😂
That Kia dealership needs to take some responsibility.
What a traumatic experience. That thought death alone can give him PTSD.
They know that it’s their tactic of demoralizing ppl
Terrifying
Gonna go from owning one Kia to owning the entire lot 😂
Another great example of KIA's customer service.
..life in danger? From the Police? This is a perfect example that if you follow police instructions, everything will be fine, even be on TV!
or you could be shot? was this said bc he was driving while black?????? sue the police too
Dehumanizing and demoralizing tactic they use 😮
DEI? That dealership better offer that man a free car for the rest of his life.
Good we got the name now anybody been making calls in trolling the hell out of this damn place like it should be trolled.
Lawsuite time
Which Kia dealership?
The rental company should be obligated to gift him the car
Omg lady we get it you want a payout 🤦🏻♂️
This has been happening since for ever by car rental places
Dont ever lease or buy here. They are done. To fight it and close mouth it, no. They are showing their colors. They shouldnt be in business.
which dealership is it?
Damn pulled up like tactical military patrol 😮
Why is nobody talking about the 2 Anaheim wannabe gangster who murdered a 13 year old?
His first problem was buying a Kia. Should have gone to the Cadillac or Lexus dealership and got a real car.
Well now he has a record for 7years...😐
There cars are getting stolen so frequently....
$$$ settlement for the victims. Once in a while specially in car rental business stuff like this happens due to car mix-up or paper work.
They’re getting a free car and some cash!
Who wants a Kia?
“treated” ….lets stop using this word …..how did they treat you ?….stop this .
That is terrible. Cops overdoing it. Give the man some decency. Also, why is there such a strict policy when pulling him over if he does not appear armed? It is crazy the levels they go to to get him to subdue.I really hope this gets the cops in trouble as well, because they could do something serious to a person. That attorney needs to build, obtain good proof that the cops are at fault too. Bad stuff happening because of misplaced paperwork and hush hush habits. They need to fight it stronger.
Actually it’s a felony stop and they followed procedure in dealing with a stolen vehicle. The Kia dealership is at fault not the cops.
@@Mike1122. Thanks. You see this and you're like how can they be so sure that this is the person. You explained this well, though.
3 4 years later you reported it
They filed the lawsuit in 2021 - comment section saying sue em sue em -
They are still operating .Sue them again😠
@@sleepydoctor4344 the lawsuit is ongoing as it said in the video clip. And you can’t sue someone twice for the same thing.
Get Yo💰Playa
KIA has deep pockets.
Car pros Kia of Huntington Beach. Remember this dealership. Yelp reviews BBB reviews Google reviews…..
Omg he’s black 😢 you put his life in danger w police
Shady dealer
I just knew thwy were takling about Carvanna or Hertz
it was kia tho no?
Hertz put people the rent cars whith them have to go through this BS because their stupdty
He was not thrown in jail or even detained. Get over it!
Poor fella 😩😩😩😩😩Coler of skin doesn’t classify who we are 😊😊we all bleed 🩸 red right. 💚🧜♀️
he got pulled over because of a bad car dealership not the color of his skin. It is a coincidence he is black. It's completely random that it was his paperwork that got lost. the police didn't know who stole the car when they pulled it over. Blaming everything on racism when it doesn't apply is why no one listens to people when they cry racism anymore.
It sure seems to mater to the police when they stop you?
Didnt see any tears. Just sayn
Kia and Hindi are the worst
Hindi?
@@1981menso *Hyundai
RIGHT OFF THE BAT
Do exactly as I say or you could be shot 😮holy S
I mean… yeah, I’m sure it was terrifying and all, but he wasn’t physically harmed. So… is this really worth a million-dollar lawsuit? I don’t think so. 🤷
Get the wife an Oscar bro
Fair enough 😂
Snowflakes
Why is this such a big deal? He was pulled over, once everything was realized he was released. Big woop. No reason to lose sleep and cry. How stupid.
Well, you gotta have some drama for the lawsuit. Get a Los Angeles TV station to do a report on your lack of sleep and how traumatized your "Real Housewives of Orange County" wife is. Maybe Kia will settle faster to avoid more bad publicity.
Dehumanizing and demoralizing tactic 👍
Dude thinks he's going to get some big money. He'll take $50,000 off the table and walk away happy as hell😂
Lawyers are very expensive and he ain't got the money not even close😂
Ka ching ka ching $$$$$$$
Can you Imagine if he had melanin within his skin ? This story would’ve went a totally different way and police camera footage wouldn’t have been released so quick , if ever !
“Terrifying ordeal”…OMG!!!! J/K. I wouldn’t call that terrifying but someone messed up.
This guy is compairing himself to a criminal ? not too bright
If you were a black man you would certainly understand!
LA sucks
White woman and black dude. 🤔🙄
Oh please its not that traumatic. It happened to me a long time ago & I don't have PTSD. The wife is overreacting. Next.
It’s get money time. His wife is playing it well too. Get that money!
lol she's fake crying. She wants money!
Lost in all of this, is that the man remained calm, did what the Officers told him to do, and guess what? He’s ALIVE and unharmed. Contrast this with George Floyd who was yelling, raising a fuss and being Uncooperative. There’s a Lesson here Folks, please learn it.
Lost me at the “George Floyd Incident”. Nothing like it and you need to do a little research into what actually happened and not what the media said happened. You were in a car reported stolen by the dealer. The police have no clue who you are, all they know is the car is reported stolen and they did a felony stop. Don’t blame the police, blame the dealer.
"one year anniversary of George Floyd" what the F does that have anything to do with this situation? DS Unless your on fentanyl?!?!?!?
Ok this is Kia’s fault stop crying and pretending the cops are evil. This dude literally brought up George Floyd which has already been proven to have died from a drug overdose. His wife deserves a Grammy for her acting 😂
