Himalayan Salt Boy

One last story that shows how even the most innocuous police interactions, the ones COPS and Live PD air to get laughs, aren’t funny at all if you’re the one on TV.

Very well done. In response to some dude that said the only people who run have warrants… bless your privilege. Incarcerating people for such small in fractions for a shot at fame is disgusting. Thank you Dan, for shedding light on this!

Phenomenal investigative reporting, jarring and compassionate at every turn. And the final episode...no words.

i hate the type of policing highlighted here… that being said, one recurring theme seems to be warrants. almost everyone, when they have their information run… have warrants. don’t commit crimes, you don’t end up under arrest. i don’t see how people fail to get this concept. this seems to be virtue signal heavy.
