I originally posted about the Weld County, Colorado Sheriff’s Department here. They have a new video up in their channel looking for an auto theft suspect.
Their contact information is at the link to the video.
Maricopa County turns to YouTube in effort to reduce crime:
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in Arizona has started their own YouTube channel to help people from becoming a victim.
They feature crime victims who’ve been affected by drunk driving and real-life stories about gang violence.
A video warning of a new violent teen party trend called “party crews” already got more than one thousand hits.
Their channel can be found here.
And if you represent or know of a law enforcement agency that has a YouTube channel please contact me.
AG Investigates Use Of Taser Gun During Bachelor Party:
Say you have a friend that’s getting married and you’re in charge of his bachelor party. So you decide that early in the evening you’re going to hog tie him, tar and feather him, then parade him around town in the back up of a pick up truck. Sounds pretty hilarious doesn’t it? Ok, but at the beginning of that you’re going to Taser the guy to get him down so then you can hog tie him etc.
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of police using Tasers in their line of duty but even I found this a little disturbing at the beginning to see the guy just slump over like that.
Anyway the Attorney General of Maine is investigating the incident since basically what you saw is illegal. In Maine Tasers can only be used in self defense.
The groom to be is a Knox County Deputy but Knox County doesn’t use Tasers.
Did the guy really need to be Tasered anyway. There was 10 of you and you had to use a Taser? Give the poor guy a break. Isn’t the fact that he got married punishment enough?
Burglars caught on tape and posted on YouTube:
Police in Weld County, Colorado are looking for a burglar who robbed a home on Easter Sunday. Luckily the homeowner had a video camera installed and captured footage of the perpetrator. The Weld County Sheriff’s Department have posted the video on YouTube hoping that someone will recognize the suspect.
If you have any information about these burglars contact the Weld County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division at 970-304-6464 or 970-304-6500.
Other videos can also be found at the Weld County Sheriff’s YouTube channel.
Blackwell arrest captured in YouTube video:
Patricia Gail Burkett posted a video on YouTube of herself and Shaun Paul Alexander being pulled over in Blackwell, Oklahoma. She got the police video through the Freedom of Information act. Apparently she thinks Officer John Mitchell is to blame instead of her dumbass friend.
So if a cop pulls a vehicle over and the female driver has a bloody nose I’d put the dude in handcuffs too. But instead of sorting things out like a human he has to run and scream like a girl. People who act like that usually have something to hide.
Don’t forget to check out all the comments from the YouTube idiots who think they know the law but can’t even spell properly.
Officer puts speeding clip on web:
Suffolk Police in the UK are under fire for one 0of them posting a video on YouTube called “Police Emergency Outskirts Ipswich UK” that shows the officer speeding.
“The officer filming is a passenger in the car and there appears to be no road traffic offences committed.
“However, this action sends out the wrong message and is at odds with the road safety advice we issue to the public.”
Not to mention that England has been having a problem with motorcycle speeders posting their videos on YouTube.
Police take a tip from YouTube:
This is a great idea and I hope some U.S. police departments implement it as well.
Police in New South Wales, Australia are creating their own version of YouTube that would allow citizens to upload footage if they recorded a crime taking place.
Project VIEW (Video Image Evidence on the Web) is being overseen by NSW Police assistant commissioner Bob Waites, and has been in development since the aftermath of the 2005 Cronulla riots and London terrorist bombings.
As long as they can guarantee the anonymity of the users I think this would go a long away to help fight crime.
