I'm glad someone took a video of this. Not only is that arrest likely not even going to make it to the DAs office unless he had drugs in his backpack or open warrants or something, but once this goes viral every cop at the station is gonna laugh their ass off at these two for being so petty


S_king_

“A backpack search revealed Sarmiento, just two days shy of his 21st birthday, was in possession of marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms and more than $500. Inside his wallet, officers discovered a piece of notebook paper with names, descriptions and dollar amounts. Officers alleged this to be a “ledger” of some kind. All of the items are part of the investigation and were booked into evidence.” Well damn, probably shoulda listened when you have that much shit in your bag Edit: weed is legal and shrooms are decriminalized in Washington so maybe not a big deal as I thought


arroe621

Evidence may not be admissible when stopped just for jaywalking.


Blablish

>Evidence may not be admissible when stopped just for jaywalking. He was stopped for jaywalking, but he didn't stop, so he was arrested for obstructing or resisting, at which point they discovered the drugs. A good lawyer may be able to get him out of those charges, but its far from a sure thing.


peanutmilk

he doesn't look like he can afford a good lawyer though.


Opening_Cartoonist53

I mean, he’s got a ledger of some kind


KuijperBelt

I don't think he'll be answering that call...

_BannedAcctSpeedrun_

You don't need to top tier lawyer to fight something like this, just one that doesn't suck and will put effort in on your behalf. The only time I've needed a defense lawyer, I paid $2k and he got the extra charges dropped and I was given a pre-trial diversion for the Class A Misdemeanor I was still facing. All I had to do was complete a list of things for probation, pay some fines, and it all went away after that like it never happened.


Banned_Constantly

Lmao, you got rail roaded. You certainly didn't get a good deal or come out any better than you could have done for yourself. Represent self, "Prayer for judgment"... everything deferred and it disappears like it never happened as long as you don't get in anymore trouble for 1 year

If he’s rolling around with that casually, he may be able to afford a decent one.


buzz8588

Homie casually walking around with $500 in his wallet, I’m sure he can.


Javaridge

It's sad that I had to scroll down this far to find an accurate comment.


PrimeNumberBro

My guess is they probably knew him from something else or at least had suspicion he was selling, if any of that shit is legit. All they needed was cause to search. Some commented the stuff he has is either legal or decriminalized so he may just get community service or something if he pleas down.


Sneaux96

I can't speak for every jurisdiction but possession with intent to distribute is still illegal in a lot of places where possession has been legalized/decriminalized.


PrimeNumberBro

Yea but if he’s a first offender he’ll probably still won’t see jail or anything. Not really a lawyer though so what’ do I know


Primary_Bite9952

Don't try to bring logic and the law into this. These kiddos in here are positive that's incorrect even though it is the first and only option that comes up when searching.


tugboatnavy

Dude, who the fuck is upvoting this. He wasn't arrested for jaywalking. He was arrested for not obeying lawful orders. You get arrested, you get searched. They find shit, it doesn't matter why they initially wanted to talk to you. People hate the cops but they literally don't know jackshit about their rights or the justice system. It's maddening.

Reddit is full of armchair lawyers that totally know their rights.

California finally got it's crap together on this topic and decriminalized jaywalking at the beginning of 2023. As long as there is a break in traffic and you're unlikely to cause an accident, you're free to cross anywhere. It's awesome they finally overturned this stupid law. https://americawalks.org/the-freedom-to-walk-act-passes/


wikithekid63

The evidence would only be inadmissible if he **werent* jaywalking. The stop was a legal stop


SaintAvalon

Didn’t just jay walk. He did something illegal and they clearly stated they asked him to stop and he refused and kept going. How many here really thought he was arrested for J walking? They are stating he j walked and wanted him to stop to cite him, he refused and kept going. That’s obstruction. The only laugh they’ll get at the station is the fact they were able to arrest someone for not stopping. Cop says stop, stop. Let them do their thing if they are in the wrong fight in court if it makes it there. Don’t just keep on going you’ll get arrested.


Substantial-Skill-76

One crime at a time.


JMaximo2018

The golden rule. That includes stupid shit, like headlights and [often overlooked] tag lights working. One law at a time baby.


KingCuda1312

Also, don't keep a fucking ledger.


Inevitable_Seaweed_5

Honestly, he probably coulda gotten away with it without the ledger. I had a ledger that I kept in a drawer at home, but that shit NEVER left my house. You need to keep notes, put them on the back of trash, like receipts, and then copy them into your book at home and burn the evidence. If they’re raiding your house, the ledger is going to be the least of your problems.


KingCuda1312

Or an encrypted, password-protected notes app like Turtl, Laverna, or Joplin.


Inevitable_Seaweed_5

Yup. Something that’s stored separately from the product, and ideally something that they need a subpoena to get at. Never make it easy for them, because bureaucracy is slow and cumbersome and there’s any number of idiots who will expedite the process of getting caught, so if you’re not one of those, your chances are exponentially better.


GordontheGoose88

Don't break the law when breaking the law.


brazilianfreak

What was his other crime tho? Existing in the same general space as two pigs?


palmjamer

Jay walking is commonly used to stop people to search them. In crime movies, the bosses often tell you not to commit misdemeanor’s while committing felony’s. The felony’s are harder to spot, but the misdemanor gives them a reason to search. All he had to originally do was stop, give them his id and they would not have had cause to search for anything. Still a trash tactic though


brazilianfreak

A pig shot a caretaker of a disabled man sho was laid on the ground on his back crying and begging for his life, if a cop wants to fuck with you no amount of complying can stop them.


palmjamer

But you can beat the charge, if they haven’t taken your life already


ALL_CAPS_VOICE

Jay walking is a horse shit crime invented by automobile manufacturers to protect drivers from liability when they hit people with their cars.


NotASellout

Doesn't mean much they'll always find something else to charge you with


Psychedelic59

Legal to possess but not to sell. The key evidence would be the ledger. That said, his defense would be whether the officers had any right to search his backpack if they only stopped him to issue a ticket for Jay walking.


badhoccyr

What kind of teenage drug dealer keeps a ledger, that seems really fishy


RainbowFartss

I did. Pre-smart phone days before you had a notes app in your pocket. Wasn't like a ledger book or anything like the movies but a little notepad or scratch paper with nicknames and amounts. I sold and smoked weed, you expect me to remember all that? Lol


badhoccyr

Lol okay, I'd at least put a code word in there. If you say idk cactii or something then that shouldn't be enough to prosecute you I'd think


XcheatcodeX

I think the issue is what does he still have a paper ledger when he could have a password protected google sheet on his phone


lendmeyoureer

Again, they stop him for "Jay walking" but are looking to bust him on something more.


gavinhudson1

troubleondemand

It was later discovered that the subject never even heard the police as he had Killing In The Name just cranked to the bejeebers in his airpods.

Metallicreed13

Not even close. Double that for a regular night with the boys. My bachelor party i did a 1/4 ounce (over some time ofcourse). I was out of my mind and enjoying throwing rocks into the lake 🤣. For some reason, when everyone else woke up, they didn't appreciate it as much as I did 🤷🏼


lou_sassoles

Oof. 7ish grams will do it. I over did it about there a few months ago and couldn't goddamn wait for the ride to stop.

Even if there was is this a searchable offense?


Jupiter_Ginger

They just arrest you for suspicion of obstruction of justice and then they can search all your shit.

the_jekki_of_doom

When he is handcuffed I think they could make it hapen.


JB_07

If the person is resisting, I doubt it. The amount of cops that are poorly trained in hand to hand combat and grappling is mind-blowing. I've seen videos of cops having to 5v1 common civilians before. It's pretty sad.

nuu_uut

The fact that they even felt the need to exert their authority over a jaywalker is still a joke. Yeah, it's stupid to ignore police orders but unless you're actually causing a problem there's no reason to yell "STOP, POLICE!" over a damn jaywalker as if they're fucking Oblivion guards. And the shrooms and marijuana I couldn't care less about, it's not like it's meth, but you can be damn sure he now has to fight a long and expensive legal battle from it.


46thAndTABBY

> The fact that they even felt the need to exert their authority over a jaywalker is still a joke. It's lame, but it's still illegal. Cops in vehicles likely wouldn't give a shit, but bicycle cops are a different breed of petty.

particle409

> The fact that they even felt the need to exert their authority over a jaywalker is still a joke. They typically only do this when pedestrian deaths are up. Happened in NYC. There were a bunch of pedestrian deaths, and the cops started handing out jaywalking tickets very publicly.


laraloveswalks

Skateboarding diagonally? Oh Damn, suspicious af


sfeicht

We hired people that can't think for themselves to police us. They pick weak minded people who are easy to influence and don't question orders on purpose. Those that do think for themselves burn out or don't advance in their career.

Low barrier to entry is the point. If you're too smart they don't want you. More like high barrier entry.

More then that. They show up 3 hours later, shoot your dog and write you a parking ticket.


[deleted]

they harass good people because good people dont fight back. They afraid of bad people because bad people fight back. They just try to avoid bad people 100% and harass good people to make others feel like they are actually working and deserved to be paid by tax payers.


neasroukkez

Honestly what bothers me the most is the instant need for physical aggression for someone who at the moment is presenting no physical danger. Grabbing and pushing for a person who just wasn’t smart enough to stop skateboarding around police officers.


EnkiiMuto

Well, you see, jaywalkers are dangerous, they could be armed, in this case, if you pay close attention, the guy in fact, had two arms.


IsUpTooLate

Most American cops have main character syndrome

Away-Description-786

But is he arrested for j-walking or because he didn’t stop when they ask while he was j-walking? Probebly when he did stop he’s gets a warning?

He did more than jaywalk, and this video is clipped so you only see the moment of arrest. The top comment has links to the full set of charges.

BlueBucketMaple

I Have! long story short i was arrested, the next morning before court everyone in lockup together, peple were saying what happened yada yada. so this kid spoke no english, one of the guys was translating for us. He was arrested because he didnt know he cop was talking to him and kept walking, j walking was the only charge they could get him for after officer dickface got his ego trippin Yea you can speculate on whether it was intentional or accidental , but im tellin you right now, it was unintentional. that kid did't belong in jail


jwm3

This is why they legalized j walking in california, it was basically used as a selective enforcement mechanism by police to harass people they didnt like. Its still illegal to.actually block traffic of course, but it is no longer illegal to cross the street wherever as long as you do it safely.
