Cops have to deal with all sorts of violent and horrifying criminals in their job. But what happens when it's their own children that they have to arrest? Dad! Sit in the car, you're arrested for DUI. On the 28th of December 2022, a witness had observed a white vehicle strike a traffic light and then quickly drive off. A part of the vehicle's bumper had fallen off in the road after the hit. Around 15 minutes after the call, police located the suspect's vehicle at a gas station across the road. But the driver was the last person they expected.

Come back from Applebee's? Yeah, I had a drink. Okay. How old are you? My dad is, um... ...a-la-wa. Listen, your bumper's in the road over there. Did you just hit that pole?

No, I promised I did not. No? The very thing 21-year-old Teresa says is that her dad is an officer with the local PD, possibly hoping that he'd come and get her out of the situation. But the cops at the scene are sure that things are way past, that. You left Applebee's. Yeah, I left Applebee's.

You cut through the plaza. You came out by Lowe's and Chick-filite. Did you hit the traffic pole that's right there? No, I do not hit the traffic pole. This part was hanging off already. I hit a deer in Pennsylvania because I go to school. Do you smoke marijuana recreationally? No.

I do not smoke marijuana universally. Universally, smoking marijuana isn't the only part of her story that doesn't make any sense. She's saying that her bumper was already hanging. bumper was already hanging off from an accident in Pennsylvania around 25 miles away. And it just happened to fall off right as another car identical to hers struck a traffic light. But Teresa has a trick up her sleeve that might just get her out of this. At least, that's what she hopes. I hit it so few years.

You see this? I hit it here before this. This piece fell off at the traffic line that you hit, that you not go. 6-7. Do you have another unit out with him? Dad, he's the sheriff's all right, hang out. Over the course of just a few minutes, Teresa brings up her dad over five times,

obviously praying that he'll be able to find a way for her to get out of this. But before he can come to rescue her, the cops are starting to zero in on what really happened and begin to get at least some of the truth from Teresa. Did you drive away because you're scared because you had maybe had one drink and you think you're drunk? Yeah. And you might get arrested, but you don't seem like you're drunk?

Yes. So you want to just tell the truth? Yes, I'm telling you the truth. So when after Applebee's, did you hit a... traffic pool. You can't miss it. It lights up. It's red, green, and yellow. I hit a curb. You hit a traffic signal. No, I hit a curve. Yeah, you went up the curb. You hit the traffic signal. The traffic signal fell down, and you left. I was texting. Okay. Okay.

He just called my dad. He was for you. Well, it's the sheriff's officer. I promised you. In just this one short conversation, Teresa admits that she did hit something, that she's more intoxicated than they realized and that she was texting while driving. three driving faults that can each come with their own punishment. So now that the truth has come out, the detectives decide to speak with her father, John. But it turns out he's not there to help her. Hey, John, how are you?

The dollar is the crash of the wall. Okay. Where's the damage on the car? Okay, the damage on that car, on the car there, I think. It was like the front right bumper. John explains that Teresa did hit a deer earlier and that the damage was on the front right bumper. But it was nowhere near as serious as the damage the car was currently sustaining. Can I come out? Are you guys out there?

That's up to you. I'll see if she wants you to come out if she wants, you know, you to drive her home. Yeah, I appreciate it. Let me come out there and I'll see you guys. Thank you. Okay. All right. Sounds good. It looks like Teresa isn't going to be getting the salvation she was hoping for from her, dead. And just five minutes later, he arrives at the scene to talk with the cops. So what she's saying, like, and where the damage was there, it doesn't really make too much sense. So I tried to get some more information on her, but then that piece of buffer there. So for the other one, was it just like the bumper wasn't hanging like that?

Yeah, no. So what it was is, um, basically this was intact. Okay. Um, this piece was missing That's all from... That's all from... ...that's all from the deer that she... He's all the smooth. So right now, it's gonna be my fault. Okay. Okay, gotcha.

Okay, who's your super? Okay, who's your supervisor? I'm not... I'm just asking. The cops who were first at the scene almost seem as though they were expecting John to try and make excuses for his daughter, and get extra nervous when he asks who their supervisor is. Obviously, there are countless examples of corruption,

where officers, especially those in the higher ranks, are able to use their power to prevent their family from getting into trouble. However, the officers quickly realize all he's trying to do is gather all the information on the incident so he can make a fair assessment himself. This quickly becomes evident as he checks his text messages from her to try and create a timeline of events. I just want to show you this so you can see it. You home 1039. Who do you think that initial call came? Because she probably hit it and was like, Dad, what the fuck? Do I do? Somewhere between 10.45 and 11?

Well, that's about right. I'm talking to her. I mean, lying to, she knows, but I'm a cop. She knows not to do that. Well, maybe she didn't even, I do you think she, I'm not, I'm not, I'm saying she didn't lie. Yeah, okay. I want to be very clear about that.

But she might not even look at this if I can call it to see who's any difference. However, despite John's willingness to help the officers out, the sergeant at the scene asks him not to get involved. So to guarantee the integrity of the investigation, so far. everything other than Teresa's conduct has been perfect and is a great example of proper policing. So, it's back to focusing on what Teresa had mentioned earlier. She says she'd only had one drink at Applebee's, but it's starting to seem as though she may be a little more drunk than they realized,

suspicions that were only confirmed after some field sobriety tests. Everything that happened tonight, all right, I don't think that you were okay to save the office for more people. Dad, Ted! Dad, my dad. Oh, your dad's right over here. Dad, you can stop with this shit, get in the car. You're arrested or do you are?

Have a seat. After being forced into the police vehicle by her own dad, Teresa was driven to the police station where her blood alcohol level was tested. It came back as 0.17%. over twice the legal limit. As of this upload, Teresa is still awaiting her penalty, but has been issued a court summons for driving under the influence,

reckless driving, and failure to report a car accident. Teresa's dad followed protocol perfectly, but Kenneth Adams' dad did the exact opposite when he tried to abuse his power as a commissioner to try and save his son from prison. Tell me who I called to find out why he's in jail. Do you want me to sue the son of a fucking county sheriff? In November 22,

Kenneth Adams was pulled over for running a stop sign. But as it turns out, Kenneth was in much more trouble than he realized. How was it going? I'm good. What did I do wrong? So the reason I stopped you, you didn't come to a complete stop, the stop sign? I did. And then you didn't have your turn signal on. I sure did.

Okay. I know for a fact I had my turn signal on. Okay. That's why I was surprised you were pulling me over, but whatever. The officer then took his license and ran it through the system, where he would discover Kenneth had a warrant out for burglary and theft of a vehicle. All of a sudden, Kenneth becomes defensive, and refuses to exit the vehicle.

Can I get you to step out of the vehicle with me? What are you doing? No, what's going on? Seriously, what's going on? You have a warrant for your arrest. How do I have a warrant? I don't know how you have a warrant, but it's on our system right now. You have an active warrant out of seven district court here in San Juan. I've gone to, no, that's incorrect. Okay, well, it's on our system right now.

I'm not going to argue with you about it. You're going to go to jail tonight on that warrant, okay? No, I'm not. Dude, this is absurd. Mr. Adams, you do have an active warrant for your arrest. And who issued the warrant? For what, though? The court's happening.

For what, though? Because I've gone to court for everything. There should not be an active warrant for me anywhere, dude. Kenneth claims that he's already been to court for his previous crimes, but the warrant still calls for his arrest. For the majority of smaller cases, the suspect is tasked with turning in the documents that prove that they've been to court and completing any classes they were made to attend by the judge. Without those documents, the court cannot confirm they attended anything.

So when Kenneth forgot to turn his in, the warrant remained open, and the police had no way to tell that he had, in fact, been to court. Issued October 13th. For what? It had some felony charges, burglary charges. Dude, I've been to court for that. No, no, I've been to court for that. You want to know the charges?

Yeah, I do. So it has two burglary charges listed, a theft charge from this shift. That's all my old case. Three charges of burglary of a vehicle and criminal trespass. Yeah, what, why is that floating up now? Kenneth was taken away to the station, but this is when his father, Bruce Adams, turned up, who turned out to be the county commissioner for the local area. How convenient for Kenneth.

Immediately after arriving at the scene, Bruce demanded to know what was going on and quickly started to show signs of corruption. Where's Kenneth? He's in jail. They took him to jail? They took him to jail, and I stayed here with the car. Why?

For a warrant. Who do I call to find out? To find out the warrant? You're a police officer. Tell me who I call to find out why he's in jail. I got to be careful with this stuff, Bruce. You understand that. Okay.

that's the warrant okay so it says warrant status active offense burglary burglary theft criminal mischief burglary of a vehicle burglary of a vehicle he's already been to court over that it's you saw the warrant right there i've been in the court he's been charged that and he has a plea and abeyance on all of it what do you want me to do i want you to turn him loose i can't turn him loose bruce who can nobody can he's been arrested for a warrant the courts can and the warrants false huh the warrants not you want me to sue the the son of the county sheriff because he arrested my kid on a false warrant. The warrant's right there. Bruce is obviously trying to abuse his position and influence the commissioner to try and save

his son from the law. But luckily, this officer stands his ground and refuses to cave in. Eventually though, Kenneth was released from jail. The warrant was withdrawn and no further action was taken against Bruce. But the officers that arrested this law student weren't as lucky. Marion Humphrey Jr., son of retired county judge, Marion Humphrey, Sr., was pulled over after an officer allegedly witnessed him driving dangerously. Footage shows him swerving slightly after missing his exit. Marion is lit up by the officer and pulled over.

He's then told the officer witnessed him nearly wreck his car and is suspected of dangerous driving. taking a bad deal? I'm sorry. Seriously. This is this. I'm trying to figure out that you have probably the cause. Yeah, because you're super nervous. So I'm trying to figure out why you're so nervous.

Being a law student, Marion asks if the officer has probable cause for pulling him over. The officer struggles to give a good answer before claiming Marion seems super nervous. First of all, being nervous isn't a crime and isn't evidence towards a crime either. And secondly, Marion actually carries himself incredibly well on this situation. incredibly well in this situation. He complies with the officer's requests, asks why he's being pulled over, and why he's being held. He even calls his dad to listen in on the entire arrest,

something the officer clearly didn't like, as he then asks to search Marion's U-Haul. No, it's not going to hurt on anything. No, it's not going to do anything. I promise you. You just don't want to go shot. That's all, and I'm sorry about that. It just happens, I know it happens.

Honestly, I don't want you to bring it off, because I don't think that's fair to me. me, as a citizen, as someone who, if the only thing I did was kind of, like, I did not always wreck my car. If you don't bring a dog, just let me look in here real quick, I'll get you down the road. I don't have to bring it off. I just think that's so invasive of my rights, but you can live in here if you like to. Marion does an extremely good job of eloquently showing how terrifying it can be to be stopped by the police,

while maintaining a calm and respectful tone with the officer the whole time. But regardless, Marion is placed in handcuffs for over an hour, while the cops search his vehicle with a The dog. According to the officer, the dog smelled narcotics and alerted the officers before even entering the U-Haul. the cops find nothing in the vehicle. Marion has since opened up a lawsuit against the officers claiming they violated his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. As of this video's upload, the case is still ongoing.
