0:00 real quick has a chick ever offered you sexual favors to get out of a ticket no she never showed a titty or nothing she never leaned forward suggestively you're in the wrong [Music] City welcome back to an episode of careful boys we have a show with us Lieutenant Lieutenant CH so you were saying that that jiujitsu is more suitable uh for police work than c MC absolutely um I mean optically it just looks a lot better right KV is striking based and there's definitely a place for that uh we do get in fights but most of the time we want to get them the the point of the fight is to overcome their resistance and arrest them and there's no better art that's suitable for getting someone into a control thing going like this yeah if I want to take down a bad guy I'm sitting guard bud but it's not like a required thing in the force that

0:51 everyone has to like learn Jiu-Jitsu it it is come at me bro hey come on come on you want to fight right all right just arrest me I'm sorry just arrest there is an offensive component to it but uh I haven't seen that but like don't get it but almost everything gets to the ground right especially when you cuff somebody you're either against the wall or on the ground and you seen in in Instagram and YouTube videos where you see literally two officers pushing and pulling against each other defeating the purpose and we want to get everybody on the same page so we're standardizing takedowns we're standardizing two-man officer takedowns being able to pin somebody and hold them down yeah and well you were saying cuz response times are you talking about backup a minute 30 uh to to get backup or a minute 30 police response time in Elman no well that too actually we have a fast response time but like if an officer's on a fight and calls it out on the radio the average amount of time it takes for a backup together is about a minute and a half and that's our city minute and a

1:42 there are other cities cuz we're we're the size of a posted stamp right 10 and a half square miles so you get 10 cars covering that area we can get there pretty fast but there are some Podunk areas where you're fighting for 20 minutes right you're on your own because your nearest backup isn't is the next County over and so that that so what we want to do is tell people you can really St off an attacker you can Outlast them with conditioning good defensive techniques right good pressure like fishing but what if there is on what what if they're like on Angel Dust or something and then they're like super powerful yeah PCP was really prevalent especially when I was starting in the late 90s they kick like down car doors and run away and stuff they have GMA radiation but you know if you know how to defend yourself and you're like hey I just need I just need a few minutes for my back up to get here you can do that with jiu-jitsu have you ever had to have you ever had to arrest a guy that also knew jiu-jitsu it was countering you not yet but it's coming right I me we down

2:34 the street from our department is UFC gym and if you ever walk in there and see who's training in the octagon it's gangsters M really they and they know how to yeah and they're teaching it in the in the prisons so I I told you guys I worked the jails for five years as a deputy and the deputies I mean the inmates are have structured workouts they're doing burpees um that's all cuz of the Mexican Mafia huh Mexican Mafia has a lot of influence over that damn for real yeah the the the head honcho was a former Marine I think so he runs like there's like they have their own boot camp to be get into Mexican Mafia and they run it under wraps somehow do they have access to jiujitsu instructionals cuz if they do we're in trouble like Dan they have Dan if they have John Daner instructionals we're in trouble but now you can get a degree while you're in incarcerated they have access to the internet so whatever they want to learn like that what yeah that's like boarding school what the ████ UC UC

3:25 Irvine just graduated like 21 inmates from the CDC that's insane yeah didn't they have like a at the Disney Concert Hall they had a graduation for like juvenile detention centers and then they had a riot oh no way they had a rumble in the Disney Concert all I mean theoretically theoretically it's all great program I heard they did got disrespected yeah so that's how it happens that's usually what how Happ it was during the part in Fantasia where Mickey mous started making sparkly like stuff and fighting the dragon so like how did how do you feel personally like your own personal opinion because I feel like when we like the average cops that we see out in the world they don't look like they do Jiu-Jitsu they don't look like they do a whole lot how does it feel to like know that they don't even look like they work out a lot they look like they do a lot of bubble gum chewing and donut eating yeah they're very accurate I would say 80% what do what do police like you like

4:15 that are so active in trying to like get your skill set up there think about that side of the force yeah so it's influence right the greater influence you have the more people you can reach so yeah at my rank I don't need to I I don't go on the streets right it's very I mean I do on a critical in inent but most of the time I'm sitting behind a desk so I don't need to train but I do because so many people at my agency look at me as a leader figure at work it's if I'm preaching that you need to train I better be training so I started late I'm 47 years old and I started four years ago um and I wish I discovered jiis or I wish it was accessible to me earlier than that but um you know I started late but I don't make any bones about it because I'm like you have no excuse if I started in my mid-40s as a 20-some year old you should be know the same and when we do our like annual qualification when they're like sweating during the warm-ups and I'm not even breathing

5:05 heavy it's very like well how do I get to your level like train Jiu-Jitsu right and um you know my reach now on social media is pretty decent to the to the point where I don't know why cops are allergic to social media but I'm one of the few cops that put myself out there and I think people want to be able to ask these questions so I'm transparent I'm like I'm an open book ask whatever you want but I will post about Jiu-Jitsu because I want anybody that's listening to realize if you're going to enter this job especially if you're a 5 fo 4 120 lb woman you better learn Jiu-Jitsu in this job because a 250 PB Pei is just going to squash you I got a question open book tell me about The Thin Blue Line so great question I actually um I get asked that a lot because we have stickers we have Flags right um so there's also a thin yellow line a thin Green Line a Gold Line and they're representative of

5:55 different things military dispatchers fire and um in the 80s there was a movie called The Thin Blue Line and I think it was based in NYPD and it was like the Code of Silence right he what happens behind these closed doors um the public doesn't need to know you're either on this side it's US versus them and we all know what happened in the '90s where we we couldn't have departments like that but that blue line stayed and but it still has a negative connotation because of it but it's morphed into what it is is more people who display the Blue Line are supporters of cops they're not cops there's a bunch especially in California once you leave California a different story but in California you wouldn't know an off duty cop from a cop because they're not the ones wearing the Blue Line caps because we have Targets on our back we don't want people to know what we do and um that's why there's a big running joke when you ask a firefighter what do you do firefighter when you ask a cop what do they do they'll make up

6:46 whatever right U so the people that you see on out like with the blue line Caps or police stickers they're 99% sure they're not cops they're like family members or something how legit is it though in the in in in policing like the idea that if you see something ████ up from a a fellow cop you're not going to report anything it was prevalent in the ' 9s um for sure and then um with technology um that changed the game cuz talking about body cams body cams surveillance cams ring doorbells right there's a if you and there's the whole Integrity aspect before Integrity wasn't a big component of the background process they wanted Warm Bodies to to do the job now when we do a background we look at your integrity right we look at your social media for bias and discrimination um we talk to your former relationships we talk to your groups of friends your current employers and we

7:36 want to know because Integrity is huge and um when it comes to sticking up for another officer um You Better Think Twice if you're inclined to do that because if there's evidence pointing that you colluded or you knew or you ignored what happened and you're defending him you're just as liable and you have to assume that there's eyes and cameras watching you everywhere you go so you got to be pretty buttoned up in law enforcement and it's hard to do the job than it was when I came up um these guys have a whole new set of challenges you can't drive down the street without a ring doorbell um pointing at you and and that's just the civilian cameras now we have big brother watching us we have government cameras everywhere and most you're saying like people got away with corruption made much easier in the '90s cuz it was like how do you even catch them doing it oh it's just their word versus you know yeah but whereas now we

8:27 have technology and you just said there's City cameras that are government owned that are everywhere yeah when I told you guys about that Pursuit at the airport so we picked that car up from a camera called The Flock system so most municipalities have something called flock or Vigilant but basically they're the same thing they're traffic cameras cameras posted at most entrances into the City and then on top of that businesses can opt to opt in like hey I want a camera in my on my door so in exchange for getting surveillance on your property you have you give the police access to it too so it's a force multiplier um people want Cops to be everywhere but it's impossible but uh with more agencies putting um programs uh I for realtime crime centers is what they're calling them so there there's actually a room and there's people that are cops or or community service officers that are really good at monitoring things sitting

9:18 in a room and they'll they'll see a crime as it happens and they'll radio it and we can be there as opposed to waiting for the victim to get victimize and then calling us we can we can be there a lot quicker so it's a force multiplier the other token of that people are like I don't want Big Brother watching me so it's right now it's a little bit of controversy because it's like is it for the greater benefit of of of the masses and push forward or is it going to be we have to satisfy the the few that don't want that right and I would argue that it's if it's leads to better response time and and safer communities we should have that um but people are saying I turning us into a communist state and stuff like that and sure valid arguments but if you're using it strictly for the purpose of uh enforcement and protection I think it's a great thing to have and now with the public records act in in uh not just California the rest of the country those are all public records so if someone

10:09 accuses us of using it for elicit purposes they can just uh subpoena those records and we have to submit them to them what up guys thank you for watching us for so long if you like what we do please support our patreon Joe tell them what we have to offer so every week you get two videos one never relased director's cut and another one too hot for YouTube patreon only every freaking week you get that and you get access to our Discord where you can come chat with us and ask us questions that become episodes here cuz we're going to answer them and we're going to take it seriously and we want to give you the responses that you want so come stay connected with us join our patreon click the description below for full details damn that is a interesting argument right cuz then you're like well do you want to be a surveillance State and what happens when the state has too much power and there's no oversight but then on the flip side if there is

11:00 transparency and the people are allowed to see what's happening and criticize that then is it actually harmful cuz if the public is actually in control of the public form right like or if they if they if they can actually control what's happening and vote in what's happening then it's is it really a state like the states in power I don't know that sounds like people's in power I don't know well yeah and well I mean in the UK for example using an extreme example to illustrate a point I think it's one one camera or 30 cameras for every one person or something like that is what they set up over there I don't think we're anywhere near that obviously we're too spread out but where would you see the line there like like as a law enforcement officer yeah um I mean obviously I see it as a huge Advantage for law enforcement it's a crime

11:50 deterrent um when people go into a community and they know there's potentially cameras in that area detour crime just like when you see a black and white patrolling that's the biggest reason why you see like entities that are proactive and not so fire departments right um why aren't fire fighters out in the communities because they're not going to deter a fire from happening right by being there whereas a police officer they Patrol and they're in the community someone's going to think twice when they see a black and white Roll by or and they see a cop working a footbeat so that's why we want to be out there as much as possible and that's the same thing that's why I call it a force multiplier when you know we're public about our cameras we'll say there's a camera there's a surveillance area and we want with respect to the Fourth Amendment uh which is right to privacy search and seizure we want to respect that as much as possible that's why it's not in buildings and they're all in public areas and you have to expect that we are in the public you have no expectation of privacy right we

12:41 got away from that for so long and criminals were like in alleys and dark parking lots and people were getting victimized it's like why weren't the cops there well because we were handling one other call or you know we couldn't be there but now that we have cameras even if we can't be there we have the individual on surveillance and we have a greater lead of catching the bad guy preventing it happening to another victim in the future that's why when I'm in Venice Beach or something I was filming and people you can't film me I'm like I can not only film you you're in a public place I can stamp a T-shirt and sell it ████ I own you yeah a lot of cops get in trouble for that right cops you'll see you see those YouTube videos these first amendment Auditors and cops go yeah you going turn that off oh yeah those Auditors no they don't what do you think of those Auditors though cuz they're kind of ████ too right they're pushing it on purpose yeah why are they doing it what what are they doing well they're they're obviously they obviously I think they don't like cops and they're

13:31 like putting you guys to the test every day or maybe one day they felt bad they got they felt bullied and now it's now it's they're just like they have to go out there and catch them or whatever I mean that's probably a lot to do with it too but they're making they're doing it for Content they're trying to get money they're trying to get a reaction out of you and have that and so I tell my cops don't get baited in film you yeah cuz some of those guys are really getting baited don't feed the trolls it's really smart cuz there are videos where it flips the other side where the cops are actually cool and all in the comments that was handled so perfectly it was a great example yeah yeah you won't see a lot of the bad cops getting baited in in California we in long and throughout the country and law enforcement they say as California goes so does the rest of the country we we train better than everybody the experiences happened here in California first cool so like when these first amendment audits started first coming out and cell phone cameras started first coming out cops were like yeah we don't what to do with it and

14:21 they educated themselves we had to train Statewide but you go to some of these agencies in these Podunk cities where they don't train they don't have the luxury of that kind of experience they're the ones that you see on YouTube and Instagram it's never LA County it's never so um so I would say in California you see a lot less of that have you had an experience knowing a bad cop internally and like what happened yeah yeah they got fired uh we had a bad use of force and um it was excessive and and luckily it happened in the jail where we had cameras cuz this was prior to body cams and uh they were taking the inmate um out for transfer and he didn't have his shirt on they were like what happened why did he have um uh marks on his body and um the officer's report was that he uh threw himself into the bars the thing about the bars is

15:11 they were stationary vertical and and the marks were this way he was he got baton stried as what it was and instead of just putting that in the report and trying to justify that you know maybe he was resisting arrest they would have been fine they lied completely lied about it and they got fired because of it yeah wow just fired like no like hey warning warning just fired so we do we have an internal that's a lot of people don't understand is like you guys cover up each other Internal Affairs people are the most hated people um they're the Boy Scouts within the police department right they they get joy not all of them but a lot of them get joy out of uh catching a bad yeah cuz nobody hates bad cops more than cops good cops right cuz they tarnish our name imagine all the Catholic priests out there that were embarrassed that are good Catholic PR that were embarrassed when that controversy happened they did a grow women not not little boys and then and

16:01 then teachers too you're starting to see all these teachers sleeping with their students and how do you if you're a solid teacher it's like that makes that makes you look B it's in every profession it's not isolated to police work and that's we feel the same way it we already have a hard time with our reputation we don't need somebody tarnishing it and it's it really is less than half of 1% of the police population that ruin it for everybody else everybody else does a good job every day they do heroic things but you don't see it because it doesn't sell on the news right what's one of the misunderstood things of either policing or being a police officer that like maybe like the public has an assumption on and like if only you guys knew about this and you would understand this yeah I think it all boils down to what whatever the opinion is it all boils down to they think we're not human they think we're robots right the the uniform does have a presence and the the badge does but underneath all that we're just

16:52 we're normal people if you didn't know I was a cop you would you wouldn't think twice about looking at me at the street down the street but they think because of this uni form we have this certain code or we have this certain protocol where we're already programmed to want to screw people and it's not I mean it's offensive to be asked a question an investigative question you could be innocent and I can ask you a question like hey I'm not I know but I have to ask you this it's part of my job yeah and automatically you're on guard well that's the same reaction that the uniform gives you know you ever pull up to a a light and there's a cop next to you and you're like just looking straight you're nervous as yeah I get that way too I do 10 and two I'm like oh ████ you do that too in another city yeah I it's uncomfortable right but can't if they pull you over you can't be like I'm one of you guys and there there're the term professional courtesy exists for a reason and he goes you look Asian to me but I but I have gotten tickets too

17:44 right I we get oh you gotten tickets I've gotten tickets too without while they know you're a cop yeah oh those you you hate those guys come on be honest be honest I deserve I deserve those tickets oh come on be honest you don't go The Thin Blue Line you dumbass who really do remember the '90s look at all these those guys are kind of ████ a little bit I I I rolled a stop and the the week before there was an accident there that resulted in a serious injury so they had to do strict enforcement oh so they had okay so you understood it took it I didn't have any tickets so I I was able to go to traffic school I did it I just you doing rolling a red wow dude if I was in traffic school and the guy next to me was a cop I would trip out and the thing is this like for every maybe you were indicated in that one maybe you you didn't do anything but think all the other times you did roll stops or went a little fast right so that's true yeah me me and Joe took a

18:34 motorcycle class and in the class uh they're going around like uh why are you taking this class or whatever and there was a LA County uh Sheriff who was also in swat uh been on the force for 20 years he's like I've just been riding dirty for 20 years I think it's about time ████ yeah PA his dues is he a big 6'4 250 lb white guy no it's black dude oh black dude okay we I know an officer like that I guess a lot of cops do that then that's tight man I've been riding dirty you're rolling that red what you going so fast for what you what are you in such a hurry for good you love to be the cop you could do it is it worth your life so we used to be able to do that right now in there's a new law that started January 1 where we have to give you a speech now you know hello my name

19:24 is Officer Cho uh the reason why I pulled you over is cuz you violated such and such and such May you're license registration that's a new protocol yeah before we used to say Hey cuz we used to it was it was a Technique we would be like hey why'd you go so fast oh that's right or do you know why I stopped you know the reason I they admit it and people were like hey you you you made me admit to tricking me so now it's like specifically I have to tell you why I pulled you over I think that's what people don't understand it's like as soon as the interaction happens it's a legal interaction it's not a personable question and I think that's where people get like confused is that when you're dealing with the law everything that you're interacting with here now is he has to ask questions based on what he's like it's your job to ask these series of questions cuz you have to treat

20:15 everybody equally and you don't know if they're doing something wrong or not so then if I'm getting interrogated or whatever I'm like hey man why you singling me out I'm like no okay protocol all right let's go yeah it's like when you go to urgent care and they go how many drinks you have a day oh how dare you ask mind your business that's personal sir I need to know your medical history and it's like he can't because then then he'll be corrupt cuz he has to now it's now it's like get through the call just answer the we just want to fill out the citation and send you on your way cuz that's not the part that's not the time for you to argue you do that in front of a judge and and you're not admitting guilt you're just promising to appear to argue your case then we're not trying to say we were right you were wrong real quick has a chick ever offered you sexual favors to get out out of a ticket she never showed a titty or nothing she never leaned forward suggestively you're in the wrong City
