-Narrator: "cops" is filmed on location
With the men and women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty
In a court of law.
-Detective vince hall: I've been on the agency for about nine years,
Currently working in our gang suppression unit
As a detective,
And I also work as a field training officer.
So I get the best of both worlds in my position.
Both being proactive as an investigator
But also shaping the future
Of our agency and law enforcement
As a training officer.
-So we're gonna stop this car in front of us.
It did a pretty random lane change
Across all lanes of traffic and then full tint.
We noticed the back window of the vehicle's punched out.
So there's a high probability
That this vehicle's possibly stolen.
(siren wailing)
I-50, we got a vehicle taking off on us.
Northbound hesperion, toward east 14th,
30 to 28 in a seven.
No, we're done, dude.
(indistinct radio chatter)
(car thuds)
And, I-50, we're not gonna chase it.
It just, actually, we're gonna stay with it.
It just tc'd into two cars,
And it's got a broken front right tire.
Looks like it's gonna go eastbound on fairmont.
(siren wailing)
Go. Go.
-Detective hall: Gun, hey, he's grabbing his hip.
-Sgt. Corey: I got it. I'm getting over into traffic.
-Detective hall: Go, go, go. -Go with him, vinny.
-Hey, sheriff's office, stop. -Hey, lucky's parking lot,
San leandro. Foot bail.
Hm, long hair, black pants, leather jacket.
(sirens wailing)
-Sgt. Corey: Hey, stop. -You got him, you got him.
(indistinct radio chatter)
-He's going up to lucky's, the front.
(tires squealing)
Get out of the way.
-Not here, dude. Not here. -Get on the ground.
Thomas, get on the ground.
-Officer: Not here.
He's right here.
Put your hands behind your back.
-I-50, we're detaining one in a restaurant.
-Officer: (on radio) I-50, is there anyone in the restaurant?
-What you thinking, jason?
-Get up.
That's not jason. -Oh, it's not?
We got families in here, bro.
(radio beeps)
-Sorry, folks. -Sorry, everybody.
-Sorry. -Sorry, everyone.
-Sorry, guys.
(pop music playing on speakers)
Alright, I-50, let's kill the tone.
I need someone to go to the suspect vehicle
And then search (indistinct).
-Officer: (on radio) still has the vehicle.
Where's that at?
-So the suspect vehicle should be at the median,
Hesperion and fairmont.
(radio beeps)
-Widen your stance. -(radio beeps)
(indistinct radio chatter)
Why'd you run?
-I don't know.
You don't know why you ran?
Okay. Why don't you hang out here with my partner for just a moment.
You good, shaun?
-You good, man? -Yeah.
-You need medical or anything?
-No. -Alright.
You got anything on you you're not supposed to have?
-Suspect: No, I don't. -Okay.
-So this, this gentleman's on parole...
For, um, let's see,
I think it's home invasion robbery.
He's a documented gang member with the campo ramos locos
Out of hayward,
And so he's got parole for burglary.
He's got a lot of different caution codes for us.
He runs a lot, he's typically armed with a firearm,
And I'm guessing based on the way he was driving,
The car's either stolen or there's a gun in the car.
-Alright, man, you can go with these fellas right here.
-Detective hall: As soon as he made the intersection,
He ended up trying to squeeze in between a couple cars
And didn't quite make it, hit both cars,
And it ended up turning his wheel pretty hard,
And it looked like it might have broken the steering column.
So he wasn't able to correct this front passenger wheel,
Which made him basically just drive straight into this median.
He couldn't control the car.
At that point, we gotta go get this guy.
And one of the wing windows on the car was broken.
I think that was the number one indicator for me.
Other than his erratic driving,
That was the number one indicator to me
That this vehicle was stolen.
So, we got a couple bags of,
Couple bags of marijuana that were in this backpack,
And then we located some hand tools in the back
That are consistent with catalytic converter theft.
We've got a sawzall, a reciprocating saw
With some blades back here.
These reciprocating saws are a real hot item
For folks that are involved
In the removal of catalytic converters
'cause they make a real quick work of it.
He's got a floor jack in here as well,
Which makes accessing those catalytic converters
A lot more efficient for him for some quick cash.
So it looks like that might be what he's been up to.
Here you go. Yeah.
Looks like maybe he dumped a sawzall blade,
Which ties together kind of
What we found in the back of that car.
So as we were driving and he was running,
I saw him reaching for his waistband.
I thought maybe he's accessing a weapon,
Accessing something, but it looks like
He may have tried to get rid of some evidence.
So that'll be, that'll be an additional charge.
-Officer: No. Oh, not this guy again.
-Detective hall: What's up, man?
Hey, so... Obviously
Things got a little bit sketchy there,
Got a little bit weird with the car
And taking off, right, and running.
What made you wanna run into that restaurant?
Why'd you go in there?
Trying to get some lunch or what was up?
Good spot to hide?
-I just want to talk to my lawyer.
-Okay, fair enough, man. -That's it.
-So you're gonna be going to jail today for felony evading.
-Okay. -Obstruction,
Which is running from us, plus--
-So that's basically two of the same charges.
-Detective hall: Yeah, but one's in a car, one's on foot.
-Oh, okay. -Detective hall: Alright?
And then the other one is gonna be
Possession of burglary tools
For what was in that car.
-Uh-huh. -Alright.
Have any questions for me?
No? -Nope.
-Detective hall: Alright. -Hope you guys have a great day.
-Detective hall: Same.
God bless you and good luck with everything.
-Suspect: Likewise. -Detective hall: Alright, man.
Take care.
(car door closes)
-Officer victoria mutuku: I've been in law enforcement for about seven years now.
I lateraled here from the san diego police department
A few years back and soon after, I met my husband.
We recently had our first child together,
And being a mother on patrol just shifts your perspective
And gives you a few more things to think about
At each call that I go to.
-We're going to a nearby business
Referencing subjects loitering to the front of it.
We're gonna turn around and make contact over here.
It appears one of the subjects is walking away from us.
We just observed them smoking from a meth pipe.
(alarm dinging)
-Suspect: I didn't do anything, ma'am.
Come on, ma'am, I didn't do anything.
I throw it away right now.
Ma'am-- -stop.
Stop pulling away. -Ma'am, I'm not doing nothing.
-Stop pulling away. -Ma'am, I'm not doing nothing.
Ma'am, I'm not doing nothing, ma'am.
-Do not pull away. Stop. -I'm not doing nothing.
-Stop. -I'm not doing nothing.
-Mom, stop. -I'm not your mom, okay?
-Ma'am, I'm not doing nothing. I swear to god, ma'am.
-Why'd you say, "mom"? -I know,
I swear to god I'm not doing nothing, ma'am.
-Stop. -I know, but I swear to god
I'm not doing nothing. -I literally saw you smoking meth.
-No, sorry about that. -Sit down.
Do not turn and face my partner, okay?
-I was going to break it right now, ma'am.
-Sit down. -I swear to god.
I know, I am. I am. -Sit down.
-I swear to god I was going to break it
Right now, ma'am.
-Stop. -You did the same thing you did last time.
-No, I know, I-- -stop talking. Stop talking.
-Okay. I know, I know. -Stop.
-I swear, ma'am. I swear.
-Stop talking. -I'm sorry.
-Officer gutierrez: You're not sorry 'cause you keep doing it again.
-Yes, I am. Ma'am, I'm sorry. -Look.
-No, I just break it already, ma'am. I swear.
-Bro, some kid comes and picks this up.
You're at a grocery store,
There's families, there's people around you.
-Suspect: I swear, ma'am, I swear.
-He has a misdemeanor warrant
For annoying a child.
-Suspect: I swear to god, ma'am.
-Oh. -Suspect: I swear to god, I didn't mean to disturb him.
-You never mean to, but you just keep on doing it, right?
-Suspect: Yeah. It was only the second time.
-And that's only me contacting you.
What about all the officers and what about all those times
We don't see you?
-I'm sorry about that, ma'am.
-Why do you have a warrant?
-Suspect: I don't-- -it says annoying a child.
-Suspect: I don't have one. -Kick your feet out straight,
Cross your ankles.
-Suspect: I don't have a warrant.
-I'm looking at the warrant.
-Okay, okay, alright, alright, alright.
-So what did you do? -I didn't do anything.
I guess they thought-- -it says annoying a child.
What did you do? -They said that, I was at a restaurant,
And they said that I was trying to, like,
Sexual harassment or something.
It's not like that, like I was taking a piss real quick.
I'm not gonna go to jail, am I, just for that, man?
That's nothing.
-Officer mutuku: You're smoking meth in public.
-I know, but no, I wasn't, ma'am.
-I literally saw you. -Ma'am, no, I wasn't.
-So you're calling me a liar?
-Ma'am, no, I wasn't. I swear to god I'll stop.
-Are you calling me a liar? -I'll never do it again.
I swear to god. -Kick your feet out straight
And cross your ankle. -Ma'am, I swear to god, I won't.
Miss, miss, miss, help.
-Sit down.
-I was just trying to talk to you, miss.
-Get on your stomach. -Okay, okay. I'm doing it.
-Lay on your stomach. -I've never had trouble
With me ever before, I promise.
-Yeah, we have. We literally contacted you last week.
-I swear to god.
Miss, I'm being quiet, miss.
Miss, I'm being quiet.
-When I saw you, what were you smoking?
-Nothing. I was just taking a hit real quick. I was--
-Taking a hit of what? -It wasn't nothing much.
It was just a cigarette.
-Officer mutuku: Okay, but you just threw this pipe.
-I know, I know, I know.
But I was just meaning to break it
'cause I knew you guys saw me take a hit of the cigarette.
I didn't want you guys to think that I was smoking anything.
I wanted to get rid of it.
-Officer mutuku: Where's your cigarette?
-I threw it away. All the way over there.
-Officer mutuku: Do you have a pack?
-No, I don't have a pack on me, man.
-You literally just-- -I'm not a criminal.
Please don't take me to jail now.
-Lay down, please. -I'm a good kid.
-Lay down. -I'm a good person.
-Lay down. -Officer gutierrez: Lay down and--
-I swear I'm a good person. Am I going to jail?
-Officer mutuku: Stop. Please-- -am I going to jail
So I can call my mom?
-Officer mutuku: Stop yelling. -I don't have a warrant.
-Officer mutuku: Stop yelling. -I don't have one.
-You continue to whine is not gonna help the case.
-I don't wanna go to jail.
-You should probably stop smoking meth then.
-No. No.
Please don't! -Stay seated.
-No, please don't take me.
-Mom, I didn't do anything.
Ma'am. I can't go to jail.
-Stop. -Mom.
-Officer gutierrez: All that meth is cooking up your brain, bro.
-I know, I know, I know.
-Officer mutuku: You're done. -I'm not doing nothing.
-Officer mutuku: Stop. -I'm not doing it.
Okay, I'll stop. I'll stop.
I'll stop. I'll stop.
-Officer mutuku: Absolutely not. -Dumb-ass bitch.
Can I get some water?
-Officer gutierrez: Oh, now you're-- -that's not nice.
-No, I didn't say anything.
-Officer gutierrez: That's not really nice, anthony.
-I didn't say, I didn't say anything.
-Who did? -What did you just say?
-I didn't say anything. -Okay.
You just disrespected my partner, dude.
-No, I didn't. -You did.
-That's not nice. -I didn't disrespect no one.
I would never disrespect you, officer.
-(indistinct radio chatter) -stand up. Ready?
-Am I going to jail? -Stand up.
One, two, three.
-Am I going to jail or what?
-Remember, we're gonna talk in the car?
-Okay. Alright. I just couldn't breathe.
That's why I was so long, man.
-Bro, just relax.
-Ow, stop, man. Stop. -Walk.
-Why don't you like me? Babe, I'm sorry.
-I'm not babe, okay?
-Tia, I'm sorry. -I'm not your tia either.
My name's officer gutierrez, okay?
Take a seat in the car, please.
-Babe, stop, please.
-Slide back -babe, I loved you.
No, I don't love you no more, babe.
-I don't love you. -You were mean.
Am I going to jail? -(seatbelt clicks)
(door thuds)
-This is a pipe I saw him smoking earlier
And then when we tried to contact him, he tossed it.
This is the reason why he is getting all worked up.
It's over a meth pipe.
So let me just explain to you.
We came here because a business owner called
Saying that there are some subjects loitering
To the front and they were refusing to leave.
-Yes, I'm so sorry about that.
-Officer mutuku: Okay? You matched the description.
-Yes, ma'am. -And as I pull up, I see you.
I see smoke coming out of your mouth.
-There's always, there's always a--
-Oh, let me talk. Hold on. -Yeah, sorry.
-I see smoke coming out of your mouth,
And I see your meth pipe right up to your mouth.
-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry about that, ma'am.
I swear to god, I'm so sorry about that.
-Okay. How much meth did you have in your pipe.
-There was probably just about
Like 10 bucks' worth or something.
I took like one hit when you seen me.
Before that, I took, like, one hit,
And when you seen me, I was lighting up a cigarette
But I had already smoked it
By the time you guys seen me right here.
And I just threw it, I knew I had to throw the pipe.
I felt something, you know,
I just knew I had to get rid of it.
I just got scared real quick, and I just threw it.
Never ever do that again.
-How long have you been using meth for?
-Not that long. Not that long at all.
-How long is that? -Since I was probably, like,
Probably for about 10 years or something like that.
-Ten years? -Yeah.
-What made you start using?
-I just wanted to be cool
Like some of the other kids and stuff, you know?
-Okay. -I swear I would never,
I would never give you guys any more trouble. I didn't mean--
-Alright. Well, I recommend stop using meth
If you wanna avoid these type of contacts, okay?
-Yes, ma'am. Yes.
-You're putting yourself in a bad spot.
-Yes, ma'am.
-You're under arrest for possession
Of the meth pipe, being under the influence,
And you also have that warrant for your arrest.
-Suspect: Okay.
-Officer shaun pisani: I've been a cop for the city of fontana
For about five and a half years.
I truly love this city. I love the people here.
I would never imagine leaving this city.
The public supports you,
The police department supports you.
And I truly love coming to work every day here
And serving the people of the city of fontana.
-Officer: (on radio) into a brick wall. Via, like, a white vehicle.
(siren wailing)
-Right now, we're headed to a unknown injury tc,
But they just stated there's a second reporting party
That just called and said the vehicle's on fire.
Vehicle, one vehicle's into a brick wall.
No other information at this time.
(siren wailing)
-(indistinct radio chatter) -(sirens wailing)
(door thuds)
Who is driving?
-Man: Me. -Woman: It was him.
-Okay. Are you okay, man? -Man: Yeah.
-Woman: (indistinct) with him. -Officer pisani: Okay.
No one else in there I hope, right?
-Woman/man: No. -Officer pisani: Okay.
Did you hit another car or...
-Man: No. Just my vehicle. -Officer pisani: Okay.
You just wanna sit down, brother?
-Man: Yeah, -officer pisani: You're good.
Just take a seat on the curb, my man.
-My (bleep) car.
-You're alright. It's just a car, right?
As long as everybody's safe at the end of the day.
-Man: That's all it is.

-(horn blares) -(indistinct radio chatter)
-Officer pisani: Can you start a tell, please?
(engine rumbling)
-What's your name, brother? What's your name, my man?
-Sergio. -Sergio? Alright.
Thank you, sir. Do you live right here too?
-I live right here. -Okay, cool.
-He hit? -Yeah, just him.
He's solo driver.
Fireman: Okay. How you doing, pal?
-Officer pisani: If he doesn't have a license, you shouldn't...
I mean, this is the least of our problems right now.
He doesn't have a... I know he's probably been driving for a long time,
But doesn't have a license, don't let him drive.
Coming from your sister's house, yeah?
-Sergio: Yes. -What happened, dude?
-Sergio: Okay, so I was coming right
And the truck,
The car was trying to get out of here, but quick.
-What do you mean? -So he made the stop,
I was coming good, and he made that turn quick,
And that's when he went. -To turn, to turn onto cherry.
-Right here. Right here. On this (indistinct).
-Okay. And then you lost control or...
-Well, I tried to avoid the car
But that's when I lost control.
-Okay. How much did you drink at your sister's house, my man.
Just be honest.
-I didn't drink that much because, I mean,
My sister was looking out for me.
-Okay. Were you trapped?
-Well, she was at, she told me that car was on fire.
-Yeah, no. Did you know it was on fire?
-I didn't. -Okay, man.
Give me one second, alright, brother?
What's going on, bro?
So just what happened? You got him out of the car, right?
-Yeah, just seen what was going on.
Just jumped right out my truck
And asked if anybody was in there,
Heard a rumbling.
It was him knocked out,
Pried open the door,
Like, kind of like helped him out
'cause he's a heavy dude.
-Yeah, and he's a big cat to get out the window.
-Big dude. Big, big dude. -Get him out of that car.
And then when you got there, the car wasn't on fire yet?
-No, a couple minutes later, that's when it started.
-Okay, yeah. 'cause he doesn't remember really a lot of it.
Hey, brother, seriously, man, I appreciate what you did, dude.
You probably saved that guy's life, man.
Appreciate it. -No problem.
-Alright, albert, have a good one, man, okay?
Thank you. -Have a good night.
-So when I tell you to, man,
You gotta take a big, big deep breath
And then just blow, blow, blow, blow into this
Until I tell you to stop, okay?
Once I tell you, you'll hear it click
And then that's when you know to stop, alright?
Alright, man. Start blowing.
Blow hard, blow hard, blow hard, blow hard.
Keep blowing, keep blowing. You're almost there.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Alright.
What time you got?
-It is 1:31.
(engine starts)
-Officer sein: .209.
Alright, man.
So right now, you've obviously had too much to drink,
And I think that probably is what caused you to crash.
-Sergio: Yes. -Okay?
You're gonna be placed under arrest for dui, alright?
-His alcohol level was three to four times legal limit.
The first time he blew, like, a .22 and a point,
The second one was a .29,
So it's more than one or two beers.
More than three or four beers.
He's just lucky to be alive.
-Alright, man, I'm gonna help you stand up
And then I'm gonna have you have a seat
In his back seat of the car, okay?
Hey, pisani, come here. -Officer pisani: Coming.
(sergio speaks indistinctly)
-Officer sein: What's that? -My feet hurt really bad.
-Officer sein: Your feet hurt? Okay.
I'm gonna have you have a seat right here, okay?
We're not gonna go very far.
-Sergio: I have work.
-Officer sein: You have work?
-I have work. -Woman: Sergio, don't worry
About that right now.
-Officer sein: It's alright, ma'am.
It's not the end of the world, okay?
-Officer pisani: Hey, man, you're alive.
That's all that matters at the end of the day, brother. Okay?
I promise you, everything else can be replaced.
The car will be replaced, man.
-I don't give a (bleep) about the car.
(woman speaking in spanish)
Sergio: I was just worrying about...
-Woman: Sergio, don't worry about that, please.
-Officer pisani: Okay, accidents happen, my dude. Alright?
-(bleep). -Officer pisani: Alright, man.
We're gonna help you up, brother, okay?
-Tuck your right leg in. Tug your leg in.
Which leg would you like to tuck in?
-Officer pisani: Alright, one... -Officer sein: One, two, three.
Officer pisani: You got it. There you go, bud.
We're just gonna sit you back here, okay?
(sergio groans)
-Sergio: (groans) my feet.
Ah, my feet. My feet in the way.
Give me a minute. Ah, my feet. -Okay, take your time.
I don't want you to fall over, my dude. Okay, that's it.
-Officer sein: Take your time, man.
Take your time.
You need help scooting yourself in?
-Yeah, please. -Okay, you want me to pull you
From the other side? -Sergio: Yeah, please.
-Officer sein: Alright, give me a sec.
-Sergio: Ah, my feet. My feet hurt.
-You want me to try to lift this leg up for you?
Alright, man, I don't wanna hurt you anymore, okay?
-Ah, my feet hurt.
-You're good. There you go.
-Ah, my feet hurt. -There you go.
You're good, dude. Here you go.
-Ow, my feet hurt!
-Alright, buddy. Just hang tight, okay?
-This guy's pretty lucky to be alive based on this,
This happening.
-Then I guess, you know, being three times
Over the legal limit isn't gonna help too much either,
So, going that fast
On this street. -No, definitely not.
Officer pisani: Yeah, no, he is the luckiest to walk away
With some bumps and bruises, that's for sure.
-Officer: 132 and bush,
I've got him at gunpoint.
-Dispatch: (over radio) okay, gunpoint, 132 and bush.
-Cover's code three. -Officer: Thanks, 10.
-Dispatch: Phoenix 25-14. Transmit on tac 2.
(indistinct radio chatter)
-Okay, we'll still send a code three.
-(theme music playing)
