As teenager in the '70s, the police came to the door asking for Max....we pointed at Max, asleep on the couch. Our cat. The police laughed , and said he didn't match the description. I suppose it was just some sort of coincidence.....

i had a "you got the wrong guy" moment. cops took every electronic in my house for CP content tips they had. the real criminal was in the back yard, being protected by the landlord. cops held me down at gunpoint when i was just confused. they took my phone, said they would call me to pick up my stuff, knowing i didnt have transportation, and the phone they would be calling... was being taken. i was proven clean, but they sold my electronics and pocketed the cash still instead of returning it. this was in california. so its 100% fitting of thier style out there...

See in the UK, the police cannot sell seized items, only destroy. It costs the police more to destroy than to hand it back, thus there's always the incentive to do the right thing.

Parents would not tell their 5 year old until he was old enough to not freak out and start having nightmares 😂

When I was a kid my uncle used to use my dads name. He's about 2 years younger but my dad and his siblings all looked so much alike that if you didn't know them you'd mistake them for one another. This was the 80s and when my uncle would get arrested he'd use my dads name and be let go often. One day bounty hunters and the police showed up, the bounty hunters were from the state next to us and the laws at the time (not sure if it's still like that now) said they couldn't arrest my dad inside the house so the police knocked on the door and asked for him, He was in the backyard doing some gardening and my mom said whats going on? I said cops are looking for dad. So they go to the door. The officer kept trying to get my dad to step outside and he refused. He said what is this about? They told him it was for a warrant in Nevada and it's better to go peacefully. He pulled out his ID and showed them and said, I think you want my brother, they had a photo of him and compared it and said yes you look a lot alike but uncle has a huge mole on his face next to his nose so they were like, maybe you had the mole removed? he said do you need my finger prints, that will clear this up. So we all went to the police station, they didn't arrest my dad but the did finger print him and the prints didn't match the ones on file, which took forever because no computer system for that back then. A few years and a few more arrests later my dad went to the police station and ask them to arrest and finger print anyone using his name, because my uncle knew all my dads info by heart he'd used it so many times and was let off when he'd be questioned by an officer who didn't know him. My dad got pulled over and finger printed once after that, my uncle spent a lot of time in jail after that. He caused so much drama, i was like, why does my dad speak to him if he's always doing this?

My mom was the wrong guy in my freshman year of high school, got pulled over by the cops while driving me to school because apparently only two people in my town own bumblebee yellow Fords, my mom and an active shooter in the area who happened to look similar. My mom managed to clear up the misunderstanding in about two minutes by asking politely if she could drop me off and the cop decided an active shooter would not have their 14 year old daughter in the backseat of their getaway vehicle,but those were among the most stressful two minutes of my life.

You’d be surprised what can happen. I once saw dashcam footage of a guy who got pulled over. He stepped out of his car, his hands behind his back. The cop gave him multiple verbal warnings to get back in his car. Suddenly, the guy pulled a gun from behind his back, shot at the cop several times, before getting in his car and speeding off. The cop gave chase, and caught up shortly after. The guy had pulled off to the side of the road, and unalived himself with the same gun. The thing is, he had his toddler child in the back seat. Poor kid was crying their eyes out when the cop came up to the car.

happened to my brother in college. he lived in an apartment building occupied by mostly college students. He is quite, not the type to party. if its late at night he'd be sleeping or studying. the police were called (i think one apartment was partying). they got there and guys started throwing beer bottles at them. they got pissed, judged what floor and stormed right up. problem was...they got wrong apartment (cant remember number or floor). My brother was woken to the sound of banging on his door. he had no idea what was going on. Next thing he knows they are pepper spraying the door or something. Barge in and....arrest my brother. My parents got a shock to find he got arrested and sitting in jail (probably out of most of my siblings he was the least likely to get arrested). I think he was arrested for "resisting arrest" for not answering the door (he had no idea who was behind the door) or something. but charges were quickly dropped

Oh boy, I have one. I'm 14 years older than my baby sister. I went into the Navy when she was 4 years old. It should also be noted that our grandparents babysat my sister and lived next door with 2 empty lots we owned between them. There was also a vacant house right across the street. About a week after I went into Basic a Very Elderly Couple moved in across the street. I mean they were 80s! So they got to know my parents, my sister, and my grandparents. They had never seen me. I should also note, this is a small town, 1976, almost Crime Free town! I come home from Basic, I had bought and changed into Civilian clothes, I see 2 old people across the street on a porch, think nothing of it. My sister is playing outside. Parents are both at work still. We see each other, I drop my duffel bag, we run to each other. I pick her up, hugging, tickling, swinging her around. I start carrying her to the house. I hear sirens! Next thing I know 5 Cop cars pull up, 7 officers get out, I'm carrying a 4 year old! And worse, I have a different last name. Complicated, Mother got divorced when I was 6, Father wanted to fight it, my keeping his last name was the compromise. Needless to say the Cops thought they had a Child Abduction on their hands, my ID was no help. My grandparents heard and saw the Cops, which kept me from getting cuffed. Finally our parents were called and it was all straightened out. I received apologies from the Cops (in the 1970s that was good enough), and from the Elderly couple. I mean I couldn't exactly hold a grudge against people that old and if I hadn't been the brother then it would have been good. I know it scared the Crap out of me!

When I was 10, the police came and banged on the door. My mom answered it and the cop demanded to speak with me, as someone had seen neighbor kids getting into our shed. The cops were sure I had been with them and we'd been huffing paint. My mom refused, as I'd been asleep. I slept through the whole thing. On the futon. Five feet from the front door.

This story is about my uncle. He was in DC for something with his job(he lives in Delaware). He was riding on the metro and noticed several guys wearing suits got on with him. Turns out, they were Secret Service. One walked up to him and asked “Are you -uncle’s name-?” He responded Yes, and the agents detained him. He was taken to the Secret Service building and questioned. When the Secret Service determined that he wasn’t the guy they were looking for, they released him. The Secret Service is not only for protection of the president. They also deal with currency counterfeiting and several types of fraud.

UK cops have less accountability than cops in the USA. It's a nightmare over here. One cop here kidnapped a girl, did very bad thing to her , killed her and his fellow cops didn't want to get involved......

Ironically I've learned my natural reaction to being accused of things I didn't do is to shrug. It's always thrown people off. At first you think it's dismissive, but it's really just the fact that the field of fucks that I give has been barren for a long time. If you want to waste your time with me, I've literally got nothing better to do. Fuck it.

When I was a teenager the early 2000s, one of my classmates was detained by police in our school's parking lot. They said he matched the description of a guy who robbed a bank nearby. The police searched my classmate's bag for the stolen money and instead found marijuana. My classmate got expelled from school for having marijuana on campus and since he was a foreign exchange student that meant that he had to go back to Japan, all because some cops thought he looked like a bank robber. I am not sure if there were any legal issues with the cops over the marijuana, but there certainly could have been since it was illegal then.

Sadly the reason I really don't like police is how many "I got the wrong guy" stories I've been a part of in this damn city. For one I got stabbed by a dude that wanted me to f*ck him and I said no. Went to the hospital and got questioned by the police and told if I don't tell them the actual truth that they'd arrest me, not the guy that stabbed and probably was going to r*pe me. Then I got held hostage with my two friends in a crowded mall as they accused us of stealing stuff from them, miles away and over an hour ago, when we'd been chilling in the mall for the entire day and video evidence to show that. So they pulled a gun and threatened us. I'm a white female, one of my friends is a light skinned native American, the other pale as hell Scottish. These two dudes were black. We put the call in discreetly and gave descriptions. Tell me why the police showed up for two black men holding people hostage and they arrested two white looking men and a white woman. Then had the nerve to make us wait while they questioned the guys holding the damn gun and let them go but wanted us to have background checks done for over an hour.

The one about the kidnapping with the pregnant lady was unexpectedly hilarious. Like setting aside the fact that human children were kidnapped, she accidentally phrased it like she was defending innocence in a shoplifting case or something, yet kind of had a point 😂

When I was 21 I was on my way to my job sitting at the bus station waiting for the bus that goes my bus route. Then out of no where a cop car with two deputies swerves and nearly drives off the cerve and nearly crashes into the bench me and some random Mexican guy i was sitting next to. Me and the guy quickly ran away from the car to avoid being seriously hurt. The two deputies tell me and the mexican stranger to stop and approach them immediately with our hands up. Then told us both to sit down with our legs crossed and hands behind our backs. They then angrily asked why us why we both ran. We explained that we didn't run that we simply moved out of the way to avoid ending up in the hospital because we thought we were going to get ran over. I politely ask," what is going on?" They would not tell me anything and instead patted me down and ask for my work backpack and ask how old me and the random mexican guy were and what school I went to. I told them that the back pack was for my job not school and am not in school. The random mexican guy was an 18 year old senior in high school. So we both stupidly let the deputies search our back packs because the 2 of us being young and stupid didn't know our rights at the time. But regardless it helped clear us both as possible suspects the deputies after the search said that these to are not the white guy and hispanic guy duo school guys who robbed the 7-Eleven gas station. Then we were both told hit the road. That was it. In the end during our detainment we were never handcuffed, never ask to show ID, nor were we ever given an apology.

Back when i was in high school, i had bought a used pool table off a guy that I worked with. I needed a pool cue so 2 friends of mine and I drove to walmart in my friends car to pick one up. That sucker was tight and none of us could get the cue unscrewed and it was too long to fit in the trunk. So i was holding it in the back seat. On the way back to my place we decided to run by my cousins shop to chat with him a bit. As we approched the shop in my buddies moms car, we noticied the lights were off so instead of pulling in front my friend had slowed down just a bit, saw it was closed and continued on to my house. About 5 minutes later on the way back we got pulled over by like 5 cop cars and they all rushed us with their guns drawn, yelling omat use to "drop the weapon" and "get out of the car with out hands up". Apparently a cop had seen us slow down in front of my cousins shop, saw the pool cue, thought it was a rifle and was certain we were planning to do a drive by. He got behind us, ran the plates on my friends moms car, saw that it was registered to an older woman but only saw three teenage boys inside with what he thought was a gun, so he radioed in saying he was following a surley stolen car full of gang bangers who were about to cause a shooting of some kind. All they found was a car full of freaked out kids trying to go play some pool.

Yes, police departments everywhere in the world have their corruption/power trip/overreach issues, doesn't matter the country, doesn't matter the skin color, there will always be bad cops in every department all around the world. U.S. cops are just shown being bad cops in some way more often than other countries cops are. Also, no reason to feel bad for that trainee cop in story 13, he is exactly the kind of cop that will go on to be one of the bad ones, he had already made up his mind they were guilty, if the other cop hadn't been there he would have still arrested them.

Btw ‘wrong guy’ is akin to kidnapping. If you arrest an innocent guy its not a mistake, its a crime

"Not an officer" literally almost every story

First story where they said "Surprisingly the kid did not wake up".... I mean at 5 i slept through a monster truck rally.

My father was arrested at his factory for an assault the previous night at a club as there was 2 poeple with my fathers 1st and last name living in the area took some hours but they released him and gave him a official letter he can give to his boss outlining the mistake and gave him a ride home and that was that.

Your videos keeps me going at work, would be cool if you had longer videos but no complaints

Yeah try having the same first and last name as your grandfather and uncle. Very unique only a few in the country. So when I apply for anything I'm immediately rejected or have the police called. My uncle abused several little boys a year after i was born, mom never changed my name, can't get it changed now because "you might be doing this to escape debt so no"

Had a client forget I was coming and set the house alarm. Of course, I enter, and it goes off. The alarm company calls husband and he didn't realize and said no one should be there. The swat team blocks the street and surround the house. One cop realized something was up when he saw my tiny car full of cleaning supplies. Spent the whole time there talking cops and security company down. Clients were super embarrassed.

I was the "wrong guy" I (17) driving my sister (12) back from a girl scout meeting in our dads old car I don't remember what it was but it had the back seat facing the rear windshield, my sister is in the back pressing her face to to the glass and being silly Apparently my dads car matched a car that was used in a suspected kidnapping (they didn't check tags for some reason) So I get felony stopped and arrested And my sister gets taken in a different car to the station and questioned, best I can tell they asked of I was her mom, not anything else , and my sister answered honestly So their convinced im the kidnapper, so when they call my parents they freak out asking were I was assuming we both got kidnapped only to be told the only other person in the car was the kidnapper causing them to freak out even more only for my sister to go "(my name) got arrested, we were both fine" Leading to me being released and my sister being told she should've said something earlier

a five yr old in a liquor store, must be a really old story

I kinda hate the lax tone they portray after they find out they're dealing with the wrong people. Are cops that incompetent to not know things like correct letters and numbers? Hundreds of families and people have been traumatized by police doing these things to the wrong people. Then they get mad when you start calling them out for their mistakes

With regards to the Honda Civic, it would make sense to be honest. If I were going to commit a crime and had to choose a getaway vehicle I'd look for something very common to make it easier for what happened in that story to happen...get lost in the maze of a ton of the same car. I suppose these days a Tesla would probably be the car since I see more of them than any other car.

Was witness to wrong guy situation. Was at my dad's house hanging out and it was pretty late. Suddenly there's a knock on the door and my dad answers it. Two armed bullet proof vest guys ask, "Is Derrick here? My dad said yes he's asleep in the back room. First dude pushes past my dad and heads down the hall. Second dude pushes a bounty warrant at my dad. My dad quickly begins reading through it and yells at the guys to stop. Dude asleep is already in handcuffs still pretty much asleep. My dad says they have the wrong Derrick, and that the one they wanted is the next door neighbor, and a known meth manufacturer and thief. They take a minute to verify his ID and remove the handcuffs. Dude had just gotten off a 12 hour shift so he just crawled back into bed and went back to sleep lol

the question was for the cops perspective but the whole video is nothing but people who were on the other side of the equation. i feel like i got baited.

"just read the story, not be the funny youtube man" haha made a grown 33y m giggle like a little girl :P

I’m from England dont live in London but I went there today had a great day even with the sensory overload 😂

You asked about the car. I assume smart criminals take common cars.

Lol Sr thought he was getting jumped....which is good valid point telling the judge meanwhile the cops did a ohhh beep moment when they were after Jr 😅

Got stopped and searched after a late shift doing stocktake at a well known supermarket. Long, almost two hour, walk home as the buses didn't run that late. I'm about halfway, police car pulls up. It's after 1am. They search my backpack and explain that I matched the description of someone burglarizing houses in the area. I asked why someone would be committing burglary while wearing clothing, including a tie, with the very well known companies logos plastered all over it... They kept me standing around while they contacted the store so the manager could verify my story and prove I'd been rostered on that late. Until it started to rain, so they drove off without so much as an apology. The old fat male officer didn't even get out of the car... Made the young female do it alone. Was soaking wet and extremely irritated when I got home well after 3am. Had another shift that started at 9am the next day. Not fun and the box cutter I had been carrying for work didn't help the situation when they made me empty my pockets either...

The narrator talking about armed robbery made me laugh. There was a dummy I went to school with, he got arrested a few years back. Drove his baby mamas car to a closed pharmacy. With a gun, broke the front glass and then proceeded to rob the place. Somehow forgot his gun and wallet with his ID INSIDE THE PHARMACY. They went back to his home address on his ID (where he and his baby mama were staying) and there was the car he was driving at the scene parked in the driveway. He was convicted for armed robbery because of his blunder with the gun. There were no “victims” but becuase he was armed and committed a robbery- it was “armed robbery.” Still blows my mind how he not only forgot his wallet inside the pharmacy, but also his gun?!?!? Like how in the heck man.

I got mistaken because My Niece & I was close to a place that got robbed Cops came to talk to me asked to search My Apartment of course they didn't find anything since I wasn't the robber

When you can literally steal cash from someone's house during an illegal search warrant, have that protected under qualified immunity, and face zero consequences (this actually happened) What is the point of even caring to do the right thing, let alone trying. I want to become a cop to be a good one, but the corruption runs so deep I know it'll just turn me into another one of them. That, and I don't want to be murdered in cold blood in broad daylight by a local gang just for wearing a uniform.

No current police officer would admit guilt

Not a cop but I've had this happen to me at least four or five times the first time was when I was 17 just got out of juvie in charge of running my grandmother's produce stand and every day I would go walking around the strip mall about lunch just to get away from work for a minute 5 officers showed up with guns drawn handcuff me take me to jail I'm so scared because I just got out of jail barely could talk to them I had to call my grandmother to explain that I did not steal women's clothing the other time well my daughter was out of formula and I walked to the store about 9:00 at night somebody robbed somebody and I got detained for about the other time I was sitting on the front porch drinking beer and there was somebody shooting up a neighborhood two or three blocks away from me so I'm just sitting on my front porch good and drunk at that time I was carrying a gun in in a shoulder holsters so the cops come walking up to me guns drawn telling me to put my hands up they proceeded to take my firearm off of me throw it in the dirt and take my hunting knife and throw it handcuff me and make me sit on the frontbut at least they kept the handcuffs in front so I just sat there and sipped on beer until they figured it out and the other time I was working as a maintenance man in an RV park and they were having problems with somebody that lived out there and me and the tenant just got into a verbal disagreement so I'll walk on home well the cops stopped me as I'm about to walk into my camper and threatened to arrest me because this ain't the first time they've been called out here on me so my drunk ass just looks start cleaning out my pocket and say okay take me to the drunk they didn't do anything and the other one I can think of was from the same RV park they were looking to serve a warrant on somebody that's supposedly fit my description now I was doing some welding work that day just got done the officer detained me my boss had to come out and explain to him who I am and where the guy was that he was looking for and sorry for all the misspelling I'm using speech to type because I got my hands full today

9:36 i can just imagine how funny and sad that must have looked for the cops thinking "ah behind this door are or is the robbers that have been committing crimes in this here neighborhood" and then bam, a nine year old
