Which, incidentally, was abandoned aback the administrator didn’t appearance up in court. Let’s booty a listen.
[VIDEO CLIP BEGINS]

Daniel Alvarez: But is that the law, that he has to ID himself?

[VIDEO CLIP ENDS]
Taya Graham: But the acumen I accompany up these adverse belief is because of some of the new abstracts aloof appear by the New York Times, which confirms what we accept been advertisement on about this phenomena all along. The Times examines car stops beyond the country because reporters capital to accept why so abounding stops angry deadly. As allotment of their investigation, they begin a whopping 400 stops resulted in brand killing bent motorists who had been pulled over with a burst taillight, with brave windows. But there’s more, because the Times reporters additionally had addition question. Why, they asked, if car stops are so dangerous, do brand cull over millions and millions of motorists every year? And one of the abstracts they accomplished believability to a botheration we accept been advertisement on this appearance for years: money.
That’s right. The Times begin that beyond the country, administration afterwards administration relied on cops to accomplish revenue. And in some cases, fines and fees for cartage stops accounted for added than bisected the complete annual of a town. In fact, the Times accent cities area brand were absolutely accustomed quotas for admission autograph and were acclimatized or demoted if they did not accommodated them. And to get added on the botheration and the abstracts and what it agency I’m abutting by advertisement accomplice Stephen Janis. Stephen, acknowledge so abundant for abutting me.
Stephen Janis: Tay, acknowledgment for accepting me. I acknowledge it.
Taya Graham: So Stephen, aboriginal I appetite to analyze one angle of the Times address that we accept done some assignment on, and that is how abounding stops end with brand violence. What did the Times acquisition about why brand are so quick to resort to violence, and what did our own advertisement uncover?
Stephen Janis: Well, you know, hundreds of stops for taillights and, you know, authorization plates askance or whatever end up in bodies actuality dead. The brand cutting or killing, in abounding cases, bent motorists, which is what the Times found, which is what we accept appear on. And what’s absolutely absorbing is the reason, and it has to do with brand training. We talked about this in the killology training and policing. Brand are accomplished that motorists are deadly, that every car stop is potentially a baleful incident. It’s not true, but that’s what they’re taught. So, they tend to resort to force abundant faster. They tend to be accomplished to anticipate that if a motorist makes a gesture, alcove for his or her wallet, that they’re extensive for a gun. And so accordingly it’s the attitude of policing and the training of policing that makes it deadly. It makes car stops so deadly.
Taya Graham: So what were the allegation in agreement of how carefully brand is angry to revenue? And how do those numbers chronicle to some of the advertisement we’ve additionally done?
Stephen Janis: Well, for example, a burghal in Oklahoma calm about a actor dollars of its annual from admission revenue. But what’s absolutely absorbing is how this all is apprenticed by the federal government. The federal government writes 600 actor dollars in grants angry to autograph cartage tickets. So, at atomic 20 states accept quotas for admiral in altered municipalities. So basically, the federal government is creating this big acquirement architect for towns, towns are axis about and authoritative admiral address added tickets. How it relates to our advertisement is the actuality that about all the towns that accept a ample allotment of their annual from admission revenues are beneath 30,000 people. And that’s what our advertisement has begin over and over again, that rural policing is overpolicing, and that rural brand departments absorb best of their time breeding revenue. That’s what this address found, that’s what we appear on before, and that’s what’s happening.
Taya Graham: Now, aloof from a political and abstract perspective, why would accessible assurance accept to additionally be a accumulation center? Why are those two acutely disparate annual so carefully intertwined in this country?
Stephen Janis: I anticipate because policing is so not focused on accessible assurance in abounding instances. That policing is allotment of the backer credo to affectionate of actualize a arrangement of bigotry that creates abundance for actual few and leaves the blow of us behind. And allotment of that is the articulate ability of policing. So, policing comes to associate with some of the affliction aspects of capitalism. That’s why, philosophically speaking, policing in abounding cases is about bulging ability and application that ability to abide and to sustain a arrangement of inequality.
Taya Graham: Okay. But afore I let you go, I capital you to amend our admirers on a brace of belief we’ve been following.
Stephen Janis: Yeah. It’s absolutely funny because bodies will accomplish a comment, well, the brand never allocution to Stephen, but I consistently accord them the address of allurement afore we broadcast a story. But what’s absolutely absorbing is already we broadcast a adventure and it gets tens of bags of angle on YouTube, they alpha calling. For example, if you attending at the case of Chris Dixon, the brand arch from New Mexico alleged me and said his administrator wasn’t the one who arrested Chris Dixon, it was absolutely the canton sheriff. So, that’s absolutely true. But the brand administrator you see who’s talking to him is from the town, but I capital to accomplish that clarification.
And also, the Arizona Accompaniment Highway Patrol alleged Perry Taylor – You ability anamnesis Mr. Taylor was pulled over and abject from his car for allegedly annoyance antagonism – Well, they alleged him afterwards our video was acquaint and said they were investigating the incident. But it’s absolutely interesting. The centralized diplomacy administrator told Taylor, I anticipate what the cop did was right. That aloof shows you the botheration with policing, brand can’t brand themselves. But, accept me, the brand get aback to me. It’s aloof already the video comes out and they’re ashamed that they alarm us. So, I aloof capital to accomplish that clear. They do alarm me back. It’s aloof afterwards we get 50,000 views.
Taya Graham: Now, the above alimony for accumulation and policing is not bound to cartage stops. And that’s not the abandoned way accomplice capitalists compulsively base a action that is declared to be focused on accessible safety. Accede this adventure about efforts to approve pot in Minnesota that got little attention, but says absolutely a bit about the complete allurement abaft American law enforcement. As the Minnesota assembly was exploring the appulse of legalized marijuana, there was pushback from the abutment which represents brand admiral throughout the state, that bent our attention, but accustomed actual little advantage elsewhere. Their concerns? Legalizing pot would be bad for business. Absolutely for their banknote flow. I’m not kidding. The abutment said that legalizing pot control would absolutely be bad for both brand budgets and the paychecks of their members. It would aftereffect in beneath bonuses and overtime for cops, and beneath bodies to ample bounded jails and aerial amount prisons.
The basal band is that the abutment was all but acceptance that a above angle of law administration had absolutely annihilation to do with accessible safety, but instead was a agency to accomplish revenue. We accept a name for this blazon of warping of a accessible action by budgetary concerns. It’s alleged neoliberalism. The abstraction that annihilation the government does, it will do bigger beneath the advocacy of a for-profit ethos. In added words, annihilation is annual accomplishing for the association unless there’s a blade to be made. It’s an abstraction that is amenable for abounding of the miseries that the American accessible endures on a approved basis. It’s why our healthcare arrangement is both unaffordable and generally ineffective. It’s why adolescent bodies are boarded to a lifetime of debt aloof to appear college. And it’s also, according to both our advertisement and the New York Times, why rural brand attract the highways like compensation hunters analytic out biting motorists to bleed them for banknote and accouterments all in the name, supposedly, of accessible safety.
And let’s bethink the money calm through fines and fees doesn’t alike accommodate the about 2 billion dollars annually brand sees beneath the advocacy of civilian asset forfeiture, which is this camp acknowledged action that allows cops to booty acreage of bodies never answerable and generally not alike bedevilled of a crime. But this blend additionally raises addition added arresting catechism about the overarching catalyst for our massive law enforcement-industrial complex, a axiological catechism about how we adjudge what is acknowledged and what is not. It’s a concern we generally ignore, but it is absolutely annual because now. What absolutely is a crime? What I beggarly is if you accede how abounding infractions and declared violations of the law aftereffect in budgetary gains, afresh how do we assurance a action that decides what is and isn’t illegal? What I beggarly is, accept we anytime advised that the basal aesthetics that defines what types of behavior we annual actionable ability artlessly be corrupt?
I was cerebration about this catechism aback Stephen and I catholic to Denver, Colorado, to assignment on a best allotment about Eric Brant. Brant, as abounding of you know, was bedevilled for 12 years in bastille for allegedly authoritative aggressive statements about judges, a adventure we’ll afford added ablaze on later. But what fabricated me anticipate of the abstraction of what is a abomination was absolutely article a bit tangential, but still basic to acknowledgment why I’m allurement the question. While we were there in Denver, everywhere I went, I saw billboards, signs announcement not aloof bendable drinks or fast food, but advertisements touting marijuana. Spread throughout the burghal were ample letters adorable me to appointment a bounded berth and buy any anatomy of edger I could possibly want. Bank to bank entreaties to appointment the abutting abundance and aces up joints or nice boxes of chocolates alloyed with THC.
Of course, this is hardly news. Colorado was one of the aboriginal states to approve pot. But what fabricated it so arresting to me was the cerebral antagonism that surrounds this almost new, and acutely advancing business. That’s because I appear from a accompaniment that, while it has legalized medical marijuana, in 2010 spent $100 million, according to the ECLU, arresting and incarcerating bodies for the control of it. In my burghal of Baltimore alone, brand would accomplish about 6,000 arrests annually for simple marijuana possession. How am I, and you, declared to reconcile, that in the accompaniment of Colorado, I can airing into a berth and allocution to a affable budtender and aces from a advanced alternative of plants to enjoy, and in the almost adjacent accompaniment of Wyoming, I can absolutely be bound in a cage aloof for accepting the charcoal of a collective in my car.
How can I, in one locale, buy THC in all accessible accessible forms imaginable, and in added states accept my acreage bedeviled for aloof possessing a aqueduct acclimated to smoke it. How can anyone accomplish faculty of a arrangement area corporations can accumulation off a bulb while bodies accept absolutely absent their abandon for actuality abreast it? How can one country absorb two absolutely adverse ideas? Well, I anticipate that’s a acceptable question. To me, it’s a abnormally American anatomy of cerebral antagonism that I anticipate says added about how the law is both conjured and activated than any added archetype I can anticipate of. I mean, how abounding bodies are sitting in bastille appropriate now bound in a cage for possessing weed, while the Uber affluent get richer off of affairs it elsewhere. How abounding lives accept been destroyed by a SWAT arrest or a chase accreditation accounting at the bidding of a pot arrest while above corporations are axis it into addition antecedent of bear profits?
Police Accountability Report, hosted by Taya Graham and Stephen Janis, is a annual appearance that seeks to betrayal and ascendancy to annual one of the best able institutions in this country—the police.
What I’m aggravating to point out is that active in the country where, on one hand, pot is a antecedent of abundance for some, and for others an complete antecedent of misery, absolutely believability to the applesauce and believability of our arrangement of laws in general. I mean, let’s not balloon the adventure of Dr. David Allen, who was arrested for researching the benign furnishings of marijuana afterwards authorities approved to appropriate his ranch. He was apprehension the actuality that pot can absolutely save lives, and they were artlessly aggravating to use an biased law for biased enrichment. The point is that the abstraction of axis a artefact of attributes into a antecedent of aimless ability and accumulation reveals aloof how batty our aesthetics of babyminding and law absolutely is. Maybe the abstraction that a artlessly healing and accurate benign annual is somehow askance into a acknowledged antecedent of absolved ascendancy and accumulation exposes aloof how far adrift law administration absolutely is from the abstraction of justice.
And that’s declared to be the idea, right? Justice, not tickets, and fees, and fines, and stats. Not charges, and prisons, and pensions for cops. The accomplished point of the bent amends arrangement is to actualize a association authentic by candor and equity. That’s why aback we apprehend about towns or address on cities area admission fines aggregate bisected of the budget, or aback we apprehend that brand accept quotas to address tickets and are allurement for the ability to appropriate property, we accept to stop and ask: What absolutely is the point here? What absolutely is the basal goal? And how on apple does this account our association to about-face a brand into a banknote register? Well, that’s the catechism we will abide to ask on this show. I appetite to acknowledge Intrepid anchorman Stephen Janis for his writing, research, and alteration on this piece. Acknowledge you, Stephen.
Stephen Janis: Taya, acknowledgment for accepting me. I absolutely acknowledge it.
