1 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: It's it could happen here, the podcast that occasionally has 2 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: ads from Washington State Highway Patrol. On a completely unrelated note, Garrison, 3 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: you want to talk about the Washington State Highway Patrol today? 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: I sure would love to talk about our our good 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: friends at the Washington State Patrol Um. Because yeah, they 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: just they've've they've come up on my radar and in 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: an unrelated matter, and now we're gonna talking about So 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: now we're talking about them. Yeah. So this is the 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 1: show about things falling apart and kind of part of 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: societal and political stuff kind of crumbling. Usually that gets 11 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: related to some type of law enforcement agency more often 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: than not. And uh, in terms of like tensions rising 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: in stuff, there's a lot of you know, force gets 14 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: force gets exerted via law enforcement, and uh one such 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: law enforcement Yeah, well, and one such agency that does 16 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: this is called the Washington State Patrol UM. So they 17 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: were I I don't know, I I just discovered them recently. 18 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: Uh So they were founded exactly one hundred years ago, um, 19 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: and they were originally called the Washington State Highway Patrol Um. 20 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: Now they're just the Washington State Patrol. They were moved 21 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: highway but they still do the same thing. They're basically 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: glorified traffic cops, um, who operate all around all around 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: Washington State. UM. And we're gonna talk about some of 24 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: the ways that they've been making things worse within the 25 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: past decade. UM. I'm since they have a one hundred 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: year history, I'm sure we can find lots of historical examples. UM. 27 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: But we're we're gonna we're gonna do stuff that's more 28 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: that is more recent, because this is, you know, generally 29 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: trying to keep things around the current, the current crumbling. Um. 30 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: And because we're gonna talk about police, the first the 31 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: first thing we're gonna be discussing, oddly enough, is a 32 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: racism because I know, um, when you think of Washington 33 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: State Patrol, that's you know, it's it's kind of shocking 34 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: that they might have a race issue. UM. So anyway, 35 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: twelve years ago, researchers working with working with Washington State 36 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: Patrol found that troopers were searching drivers from minority communities, 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: particularly um local Native American tribes, at a much higher 38 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: rate than than white people. And they recommend an additional study, 39 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: which the Washington State Patrol declined to uh to investigate further, 40 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: they they're like no, um, no, no more studies. So meanwhile, 41 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: since then, the troopers have continued to continue to search 42 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: Native Americans at a at a rate much higher more 43 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: than five times than that of of of white people 44 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: in the area. Yeah. So but there are five times 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: as the popular there. There's five times as many Indigenous 46 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: people in Washington as white people right there, there's noth Yeah. 47 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: So an analysis by Investigate West showed that the Patrol 48 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: continued to do searches at a much elevated rates for 49 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: for black people, Latino Pacific Islanders, and Natives within Washington State. Um. 50 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: And yet when when troopers did decide to search white motorists, 51 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: they were more likely to find drugs in contraband. UM. 52 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: Which is something to Washington State Patrol actually acknowledges is 53 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: that when they search people of minority communities, they are 54 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: less likely to find to find illegal things. Yeah. I 55 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: mean that's yeah nationwide and very very robust data. So UM, 56 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: government records obtained via like information requests and various other 57 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: you know of public records searches UM also show that 58 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: there there there is a state law that Washington State 59 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Patrol is supposed to collect and report semiannually to the 60 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: Criminal Justice Training Commission in Washington. UM about you know, 61 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: race and ethnicity data of motorists is stopped by troopers. 62 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: But uh so this is supposed is supposed to happen 63 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: semi annually. But the agency report of those findings only 64 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: three times in the past fifteen years, which isn't sounds 65 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: kind of like the Portland police were not doing the 66 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: things that federally they're supposed to do because they're so violent. Yeah, 67 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: so being out of compliance with a bunch of federal 68 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: rags three three times, three times in fifteen years is 69 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: not semi annually. Based on what I know, the term 70 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: semi annually to semi decade. So yeah. Um, based on 71 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: responses for over thirty public records requests UM from from 72 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: three different agencies looking looking at Washington State Patrol and 73 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: more than like fifty interviews with current and formal law 74 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: enforcement officials and people with experience interacting with Washington State 75 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: Patrol UM and also data from millions of traffic stops. 76 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: All this was looked at in total, examined about eight 77 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: million traffic stops from two US and nine tow US 78 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: in fifteen. This is what investigate West was doing. UM, 79 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: which was which was the most recent data available, and 80 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: the analysis found that, uh, it focused on incidents of 81 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: what researchers called like high discretion searches. That's when troopers 82 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: had the most like personal leeway to decide whether or 83 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: not to pull over and search a vehicle. UM. Black 84 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: drivers were twice as likely to be searched as white drivers, 85 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: and Latino specific calendars were eight percent more likely to 86 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: be searched. Of of these incidents where officers had discretion 87 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: and like they could choose whether or not to pull 88 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: someone over. UM, So it wasn't like it wasn't like 89 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: they were like obviously speeding or doing you know, like 90 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: like you know like like regular like actually observable traffic violations. 91 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 1: This is when like people could choose when they investigate West. 92 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: Thing got published, they contact Washingt State Patrol and the 93 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: spokesperson said that, uh, here's here's here's the quote that 94 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: the race race was not the only factor when troopers 95 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: decide whom to search, and that's partially because blacks, Native 96 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: Americans and Latinos are more like more more likely to 97 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: be regardless of how much discretion troopers have, which that 98 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: doesn't really make very much sense. Um, I don't know 99 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: what the person, I don't know what they mean is 100 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:19,559 Speaker 1: they're more likely to regardless what, who is that bad 101 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: checking the copy? Which is weird because later on the 102 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: spokesperson said that, Um, same guy, we're in the basically 103 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: we're agrees that we're in a basic agreement that minorities 104 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: are searched at higher rates, but we find less contraband 105 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: so um. And he also he also noted that complaints 106 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: about like a racial bias encounted for little more than 107 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: ten percent of all complaints of the state patrol filed 108 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: last year. So I guess he thinks that's a good 109 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: He thinks that's a good stat Yeah, he's proud of that. Yeah. Um. 110 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: And another kind of uh, not great thing is that uh. 111 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: The analysis found that not only are Native Americans more 112 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: likely to be searched, but all of the most of 113 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: those searches happen always that like the edges of reservations UM. 114 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: The analysis found that the two highest concentration of searches 115 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: of Native Americans by state troopers are on the US 116 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: nineties seven, where it encounters um A reservation at ol 117 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: Mac about about a mile from its intersection at a 118 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: state wrote one fifty five, which is and more than 119 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: one thirty miles south of of the same when the 120 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: same highway enters another reservation. So nearly one third of 121 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: high discretions of high discretion searches, so when troopers can 122 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: decide whether or not to pull someone over like like 123 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: they they they have more discretion whether they can. So 124 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: one third of those happened on these two stretches of 125 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: highway right on the edges of these reservations, like they're 126 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: patrolling outside these reservations to specifically do this. Um there 127 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: was I I saw an interview on this topic that 128 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: we've talked that talked to to Native Americans in this 129 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: area and they're like, yeah, every time we leave the reservation, 130 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: we get pulled over. But then we watched tons of 131 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: white motorists go by and no one cares, like and 132 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: like and they're like you're doing like they're just speeding by, 133 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Um. So yeah, that is that is 134 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: the first first you know, unsurprising tidbit about uh. Some 135 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: an organization who started as a highway patrol is, yeah, 136 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna pull people over who are not white more 137 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: often that is that's pretty not not super shocky. Yeah, 138 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: and then makes a public statement like l o O 139 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: yeah yeah that that does. That does sound a lot 140 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: like with the Washington State Patrol. Uh sounds like, um, 141 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: so we're gonna so that that was That was the 142 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: first obvious thing. Uh. This next part is a little 143 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: bit more fun. Um. So in in in two thousand nine, 144 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: the Washington State Patrol made made the decision to fire 145 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: eight troopers, which is you know, pretty pretty rare um 146 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: And the reason why they got fired is because they 147 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: used fake diplomas to claim pay raises. Yeah, so there 148 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: was there was this whole scheme about getting fake diplomas 149 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: to get the troopers more money, like like like individual 150 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: people that there's this whole, this whole operation going on. 151 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: It resulted in the in in a in a people 152 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: getting fired. So troopers can can boost their pay about 153 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: two percent by earning a two a two year degree 154 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: or four percent with a four year degree. And there 155 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: was this group of of a troopers who just uh 156 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: started just forging diplomas see Garrison. This is a separate conversation. 157 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: But they didn't need to forge diplomas. They could have 158 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: just become doctors of of of of magic, like that 159 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: is what I've tried to do religious PhD. Yeah, so 160 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: there's all sorts of fake diploma mills. Come on, washing 161 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: didn't State Highway Patrol. This is pretty funny. So so 162 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: the investigation began after federal agents shut down a diploma 163 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: mill in the Spokane. Criminal charges were not filed, but 164 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: the patrol to decide to fire these eight troopers. Yeah. 165 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: So that is one of the more funny things we'll 166 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: be talking about today. And I think it's time for 167 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: an ad break um. Yeah, speaking of funny, here's these 168 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: ads that may or may not be the people we're 169 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: talking about. Rob No unrelated, unrelated. Uh we're back, which 170 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: is also unrelated. Yeah. Another thing that's putten pretty common 171 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: around police is that the past few years they generally 172 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: don't think COVID is really real, or that it is 173 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: the past few years. Now that Robert, we're less than 174 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: a month away from two. Yeah, I hate that. It's 175 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: like it's it's like it's almost two. Almost ten percent 176 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: of your entire life has been COVID. I'm not going 177 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: to think about math um. So generally they don't think 178 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: COVID is real, and also they think vaccines are the 179 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: mark of Satan or something. Well obviously they are. But yeah, 180 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: so in in in mid October this this past October, 181 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: Washingtons Tate Patrol announced that one hundred and twenty seven 182 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: of its employees lost their job after the state's COVID 183 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: nineteen vaccine mandate deadline of October eighteen. So, unlike the 184 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: Portland Police Bureau who who, the port who Port and 185 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: many other cities where city officials caved to the demands 186 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: of the police that vaccine mandates not be not be 187 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: extended towards police, uh, this did not happen in Washington 188 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: and they actually got it enforced. So over a hundred 189 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: uh Patrol employees quit quit their job, including a sixty 190 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: four commissioned officers. It was like six sixty seven troopers, 191 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: six sergeants, and one captain. Um. Yeah, so, you know, 192 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: Washington State Patrol has about two thousand personnel within like 193 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: between like eight districts um, So losing like a hundred 194 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: and twenty seven of them is not a it's not 195 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: an insignificant loss. Um And it's it's been a it's 196 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: it has been been trying to hire a lot more 197 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: people in the in the past in the past like 198 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: a few months. Because of this, they've been they've been 199 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: trying to do a lot more recruitment, which is why 200 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: they're Um, I've heard from other people that they are 201 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: putting uh advertisements out on the internet to become a 202 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: Washington State trooper. This is something I've I've heard from 203 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: from people online when I've been doing all of this 204 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 1: uh deep deep, extensive research. So yeah, they are, they are, 205 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: they are recruiting. Uh So, if you want to be 206 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: a Washington Patrol officer, don't don't. Actually that's a bad idea. Um, 207 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: don't do that.

So this would be a 233 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: big fan of ron Ron Weasley's family. This this is 234 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: this is Sean Carrum, a former Washington State Patrol a 235 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: sergeant um who resigned for reasons. We will discuss fun. 236 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: That's exciting. Yeah yeah anyway. Um. So in two US 237 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: and fifteen and Associated Press investigation uncovered about a thousand 238 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: officers in the United States who lost their badges over 239 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: a six year period for sex crimes or misconduct such 240 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: as like, uh, this is this is a quote here, 241 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: which I disagree with framing here, but this is this 242 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: is a quote propositioning citizens or having consensual but prohibited 243 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: on duty intercourse, which is uh, pretty bullshit way to 244 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: frame that because basically you're it's it's police raping people. Um, 245 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: and police officers being accused of like using their power 246 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: over people to rape them is extremely common. Yeah, and 247 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: it's often just like, yeah, well the person said okay, 248 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: And it's like, well they said okay to a person 249 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: with a gun and the legal power to murder anyone 250 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: they want or put them into jail. Like like there's 251 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: a lot of stuf. Yeah, you know, I would argue 252 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: you can't consent uh to sex with a police officer 253 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: who's on duty and in uniform because it's they have 254 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: the power to murder or anybody want or who just 255 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: arrest you. Like, like it's a lot of stuff. So, 256 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: like there was a studied at least a few years 257 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: ago that an analyzed data of like a five hundred 258 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: and fifty arrest cases from the years of two US 259 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: and five two US and seven. This is just two 260 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: years and UH and a four hundred officers employed by 261 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: like three D and twenty non non federal law enforcement 262 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: agencies located throughout a forty three states. Um AND findings 263 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: indicated that a police sexual misconduct includes a serious forms 264 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: of sex with related crimes, and the victims of sex 265 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: related crimes by police are typically younger than eighteen years old. UM. 266 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: So it's it happens a lot with miners. So there's 267 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: a lot like like more like a ridiculously common like 268 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: if you if you google is which I honestly don't recommend, 269 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: but you can find like dozens of stories coming out 270 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: like basically every like not you'll find at least one 271 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: new story every month of a kid getting raped by police. 272 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: It happens pretty commonly. So over the past ten years, 273 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: in the Washington State Patrol, they've investigated and confirmed four 274 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: cases of what they call sex on duty UM according 275 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: to the agency, and this is including including Shan Carr. Now, 276 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: Sean Car's cases particularly sensitive for the agency because he 277 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 1: was married to the UH the daughter of the Washington 278 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: State Patrol Chief um and, and Shaun Carr was also 279 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 1: himself a sergeant, so he was connected to like the 280 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: big leagues at the Washington State Patrol. So Car met 281 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 1: a civilian woman who also works at Washington State Patrol 282 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: but as like you know, like has like an office job, 283 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: so they isn't isn't a trooper. Um. They met in 284 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: twelve and struck up an online friendship, and a few 285 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: months later they both of them told investigators that the 286 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: relationship did turn sexual. UM. Car admitted to six sexual 287 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: encounters for the next like five years with the woman, 288 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: of five of which happened when he was on duty 289 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: and like on state property or driving a vehicle or 290 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: while in uniform. UM. But the woman recalled as many 291 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: as as twenty and all but one of them were 292 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: when he was on duty and well. And so the 293 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: woman said that most of their encounters were were what 294 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: she would describe as consensual, but she described three incidents 295 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: where Car did pushed the boundary and she she she 296 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: has described being raped by him multiple times. UM, so 297 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: there was there was an incident. I think the first 298 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: one happened in the beginning of UH with inside his 299 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: patrol car in a church parking lot. UH. The woman 300 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,239 Speaker 1: had recently started dating another man, and Carr wanted to 301 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: know who it was. When she wouldn't say so, he uh, 302 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: he grabbed her arm hard enough to leave bruises, and 303 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: the woman said that Car made her pick from two options, 304 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: give up the name of the man or give car 305 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: oral sex. Um. Car later told investigators that he said 306 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: us in a quote joking context, Oh that's you know, 307 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: I was thinking, because that's almost exactly my my tight 308 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: five for my stand up set. I mean some some 309 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: comedians for some reason do like making jokes like that 310 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: and not not not great usually not great to normalize 311 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So um. The woman said that 312 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: she did like like s his his like commands and 313 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: she's which she said, we're like very much not done consent. Yeah, 314 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: and she said it's very much not consensual. Um. She 315 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: She told investigators that he raped me on the side 316 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: of the road. Um. And if and if it was 317 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: anyone else besides Car, she she she she said she 318 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: would have called nine one one. Um. So the second 319 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: time happened when a car backed her into a corner 320 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: of a highway away station and forced her to have 321 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: sex with him. Um. She called it a coerced Car 322 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: said that consent was mutual. So despite the sexual assaults, 323 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: uh and and and like and you know and and 324 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: like assaults you know, like you know, grapping someone's army. 325 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: Hard to believe a bruise, she said. The woman said 326 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: she kept in touch with Car because she was going 327 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: through a difficult time in her life and she needed 328 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: somebody to talk to. Complicated. That's yeah, that this is 329 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: even like people who are abusive can also be emotionally 330 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: supportive sometimes, Like that's one of the things about abuse 331 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: that says a real, real motherfucker. It's not simple. So yeah, 332 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: Car Car may not have gotten in trouble had the 333 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: woman not confided in another patrol employee after she left 334 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: her job. UM. Then the other other patrol employee mentioned 335 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: the situation to someone higher up, triggering an investigation. UM. 336 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: And then in twenty nineteen, the woman formally reported Car 337 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: to uh TO to like the Patrol Office of Professional Standards. 338 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: So records started that the patrol of pretty quickly confiscated cars, badge, 339 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: and gun and placed him on home assignment, where he 340 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: remained until he and he resigned voluntarily. UM. The patrol 341 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: gave gave the case to the Sheriff's office to investigate 342 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: because of the criminally chur of the allegations. So Car's 343 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: personal file includes other on job violations, including using a 344 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: taser on a drunk driving suspect. He was handcuffed, and 345 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: records show that in February, Car was accused of frequenting 346 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: a coffee stand and making unwanted advances on an employee 347 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: by waiting near her car until her shift ended, and 348 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: making derogatory comments about her boyfriend. Um, so she was 349 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: also stalking this barista. Is what it sounds like? Um? Yeah, yeah, 350 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: that's that is what that sounds like. Terrifying. So yeah, 351 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: so Car after the woman told investigators that she was 352 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: raped after um, the the county sheriffs recommended hard to 353 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: be filed. But she wasn't willing to. Um, she wasn't 354 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: willing to testify. She did not want to. She did 355 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: not want to do that. Um. But but she she 356 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: didn't tell prosecutors that she did have one wish that 357 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: that Car again, the son in law of the state 358 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: patrol chief be be not not allowed to police again. 359 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: UM yeah, that's a pretty reasonable request. Car of obviously 360 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: denied all the accusations of non consensual sex and assault, 361 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: but you know, it did admit to a to a 362 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: consensual sexual relationship on duty UM, as well as other 363 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, like patrol regulation violations. UM. He he resigned 364 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: in July before the patrol could decide whether or not 365 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: to fire him UM and then the state went about 366 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: trying to strip him of his law enforcement certificasion requirement 367 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: to carry a gun and badge and be hired as 368 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: law enforcement in Washington. Getting de certified forms conduct by 369 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: the Criminal Justice Training Center in Washington is very hard. 370 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: Very few people have actually been decertified. Yeah, And to 371 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: to be certified, the panel must be a panel must 372 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: be convinced on duty behavior rose to the level of 373 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: official misconduct and constituted a crime committed under the color 374 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: of authority as a peace officer. That's the that's the 375 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: color of authorities an interesting way to phrase that. Cars 376 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: attorneys argued that the state failed to make to meet 377 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: this high bar and there was quote no legal basis 378 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: to decertified car. Meanwhile, the c j a t S 379 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: the Criminal Justice Training Center alleged his behavior did constitute 380 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: official misconduct and failure of duty, but without actually they 381 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,719 Speaker 1: didn't actually include the sexual assault allegations. Instead, it contended 382 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: that he used state resources for his own benefit or 383 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: neglected to do his duties when he was engaged in 384 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: sexual activity on duty. So they didn't actually include sexual 385 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: assault or anything in this. They just said you were 386 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: basically like you were because you were doing because you 387 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: were having like sexual activity on duty, you weren't doing 388 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: your job and that's the reason that we want to 389 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: decertify you. Um. So, the date of Washington has about 390 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: eleven thousand certified officers at any given time UM and 391 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: since to us in three they've decertified like two hundred 392 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 1: and thirty and at least four of them for on 393 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: duty sex and one of those cases was overturned on 394 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: appeal um. But in one around mid May, the c 395 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: j TC in its final order said that Cars constituted 396 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: uh crimes of of failure of duty and official misconduct by, 397 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: among other things, quote, intentionally choosing to pursue his own 398 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: sexual gratification rather than using his on duty time to 399 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: perform his lawful responsibilities as a peace officer. So he 400 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: he did get decertified, but again not actually discussing the 401 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: actual like assaults and rapes. Um. Yeah, So the the 402 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: the sheriff County prosecutor's office designed declined to pursue charges 403 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: on the case last year when the woman was unwilling 404 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: to testify, but the deputy prosecuting attorney UM did say 405 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: that she she believed they just happened, like like she 406 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: she believes this that the stuff happened. But because of 407 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: the lack of evidence due to time passing and the 408 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: woman not wanting to testify, there it's hard to prove 409 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: guilt in court, so they're not going to pursue these 410 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 1: charges at the moment. Yeah, So that that is uh, 411 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 1: that is Shawn Carr. So that yeah, he is not 412 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: not not allowed to police as of one. That is 413 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: a cursory glance at stuff that you Washington State Patrol. Oh, 414 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: I guess one of the one other thing I found 415 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: out today is that so Washington State Patrol has a 416 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: has a psychologist for UM recruitings basically for if you 417 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: want to join the patrol, you have to go like 418 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: through like a psychological screening. Sure, that makes sense. And 419 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: he just just resigned because he was he was he 420 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: was probably going to get fired. UM. This was after 421 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: Seattle Times and Public Radio Northwest News Network UH published 422 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: a peace show showing that since uh, the psychological screenings 423 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: rejected where is it? Uh rejected of white candidates over 424 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: the past four years. Um, but the psychologists that they hired, 425 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: uh rejected of black candidates, of Hispanic candidates, and forty 426 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: one percent of Asian candidates. So again, I'm not pro 427 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: people being police in general, but there is a clear 428 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,959 Speaker 1: disparity on who they are wanting to become police, like 429 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: who like who are they? They're letting in a lot 430 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: more white candidates than they are letting in candidates of color. Um. 431 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: So this this uh, this psychologist screener is is no 432 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: longer on the job as of like a few days ago. Um. Yeah, 433 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: so just another another level of stuff because yeah, you know, 434 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: there's they want there to be more white officers than 435 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: anything else. Um. So yeah, that is that is the 436 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: Washington State Patrol. I guess the one other thing I 437 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: want to do is I'm gonna again send in the 438 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: group chat. Their their current logo, their current logo current 439 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: you're smirking. I hate it when you do this. I'm afraid. 440 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, Sophie. Maybe it'll be fine. It's actually 441 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: it's it's it's kind of fun. That's their logo. That 442 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: is their current logo. They design it in like paint, Yes, 443 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: they probably they probably did design it in MS paint. 444 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, that that looks like it belongs in 445 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 1: an angel Fire website. Gar So do you know what 446 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: angel Fire was? I do not. Oh my god, you 447 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: fucking teenageers. Um. Yeah, that looks like it belongs in 448 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: an angel I will. I will let all of the 449 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: other people who feel very old right now know that 450 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: it looks like something you'd see in an angel Fire website, 451 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: like shittlely animated blinking across the screen. Yeah, you know, 452 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: it looks like something from a ninety nineties website. All right, Well, 453 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: now I'm both angry about the police and I feel 454 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: a thousand years old. So this is good? What a good? 455 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: What a good? What a good feeling? Well that that 456 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 1: wraps that. That wraps it up for today. Um and 457 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: hey again, I have heard that they are recruiting and 458 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: they should have a new psychological screener soon. So great, 459 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: there we go. I'm imagining the primary psychological screening is 460 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: you're white, right, that's that's that is what it used 461 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: to be. I mean, I'm imagining that's what it's going 462 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 1: to be still probably maybe not all right. Well, this 463 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: has been a great time. I'm sure everybody's feeling good. 464 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: Uh goodbye, bye, get out of my house.
