Phillip Hamm was on the road with a friend in Paducah, Kentucky when he was pulled over by local police over a busted tail light. Instead of letting him go, the officer held Hamm for over an hour, during which time he forced Hamm to undergo a sobriety test, searched his person, and demanded access to his vehicle. When Hamm declined, the police brought over a canine unit and searched his car. Despite finding nothing, officers tested dollar bills from Hamm’s wallet for methamphetamine and then arrested him on felony drug charges. Police Accountability Report examines the footage of Hamm’s arrest as an example of how police routinely abuse their power to manufacture the outcomes they want. Phillip Hamm himself also joins the show to speak on his ordeal.

Bravo👋
"You know how many Cops get shot"? Why yes I do Officer. You have a 0.0089% chance of dying on the job and LESS THAN HALF of that is being assaulted!!!! There are over 650,000 sworn officers in this country. Less than 300 die on the job at most per year. Less than half of that are from a felonious assault (per the FBI Uniform Crime Report averaged over the last 25 years). Yet this attitude of "officer safety" is SO prominent. Police may get by pushing this to most people. Not me. I am a former LEO, FTO, Academy Instructor, and CIRT firearms and tactics instructor. I KNOW better.
I'm surprised they didn't call numbers from his cell phone to see if he ever stole candy as a kid.
I know that you publish these things and draw attention to the despicable police officers of USA but I don't see much help for the victims. It appears to me that you are consider
Kidnapping is their profession.
Extortion is their game. Terrorizing the public is their goal.
Lying is their forte.
Evil is their intent.
Why the additional meth charges? Did they find meth on the second stop?
They did a report that almost 90% of all currency in America has drug residue on it.
Thank you for your hard work. We need this accountability, and a whole lot of it. Im terrified of run ins w police due past experiences. It causes major ptsd, and is not right. Police have been out of control since 911 imho
i wonder if scotus watch cop video on youtube
90 percent of U.S. money is laced with cocaine. Traces of cocaine taint up to 90 percent of paper money i
Go to hell! I am sick of hearing these cop excuses!
This traffic stop is so outrageous…I just want to scream!
A prolonged traffic stop is a violation of the 14th amendment of due process. Not that they'd know that 🤷🏼♂️
I was once held by the Montgomery County Iowa sheriffs deputies for almost 2 hours during a traffic stop for a flickering license plate lamp bulb, which was never faulty in the first place… but they took their sweet time violating my civil rights, breathalyzed multiple times and illegally searched my vehicle and made me perform a strip search on the side of the county gravel road
We allow this type of behaviour. Qualified Immunity is eroding our constitution. Videos and cases like this is eroding Qualified Immunity buy generating more Clearly Established law. Thanks guys. Good job.
Called for a positive test kit to be organised ang bought to the scene? No drugs on site evidence fabrication?
You can test the bills in the judges pocket and get the same result. The bills world wide tend to get contaminated by the automatic bill counters in banks and bisinesss. One contaminated bill that get run through a counter contaminated thousands more in the vicinity of the machine. Drug detection dogs have been proven to no longer effective in some air ports giving false positives and subsequent searches coming up empty. Bottom line innocent people are getting caught up in the legal system.
Good show!
THE ORIGINAL CHARGES WERE NOT ANY OF HIS BUSINESS
ILLEGAL SEARCH AND SIEZURE. THAT COP ALREADY IS THAT COP! 4TH AMENDMENT AND 5TH
