a New York Times article December 11 2019 comes out Tennessee Sheriff's
deputy indicted on 44 charges including rape and stalking Daniel Wilkie was charged on
Tuesday with rape extortion stalking and assault has previously been accused in
lawsuits of false imprisonment child molestation enforced baptism [Music]
that's right forced baptism this is the police officer who arrested this girl
and instead of taking her to jail she agreed to be baptized and he took his
clothes off and walked into the water with her and baptized her in exchange
for lesser charges a deputy Daniel Wilkie seen stripped down to his boxer shorts
so the video footage of this baptism was recorded by another police officer the partner of Wilkie
and it shows that he agreed that Wilkie agreed to let this woman go if she agreed to go through this
right now Wilkie admitted to this but he says that
she asked for this because she wanted to turn away from her life of crime
however she apparently denied that because she sued him but we'll never
know in the end because she ended up dying from an apparent drug overdose
so there's some breaking news that came out on the ultimate disposition of those 44 criminal charges
against former officer Wilkie before we get to what they are do you recall the first video that
I did on this same police officer this is where he pulled over this guy named I think it was William
clabber Mr flavor uh maybe registration Supreme Insurance waiting also proof of insurance yes
yes Wilkie I lost my tag I was in a wrestling match or something my tag broke off will 3099
all right we need to see the video footage of this wrestling match that he was involved
in where his Wilkie tag broke off but if you go back and watch this video which I'll link
this had to do with the length of a traffic stop and this is a case that actually where
a lawsuit was filed and it went up to the federal uh courts of appeal it was found
that this driver's constitutional rights his fourth amendment rights were violated because
this stop lasted an unreasonable amount of time and you can see that in the video
footage that was captured I need that you're a wealthy yes sir you know he will keep you
thank you all right give your insurance card with you it's on my phone it's on your phone
you take it down if you need to that's fine again I refuse them permission to search in my vehicle
foreign
so what's happening here is I believe that the original pretext for the Stop was 10th
it was allegedly too dark so you can see Mr Claver is pulling the tent off so if that's
the Reasonable Suspicion for the Stop he pulls the tent off well that's been cleared up but
what are the cops doing here they're stalling so that a drug dog can come and they can search for
drugs however the problem being that there is no reasonable suspicion that there could be illegal
drugs in the car they can't unreasonably prolong the stop Beyond just what it would normally take
to write a warning or a ticket for a tent that is too dark they need additional facts and they
didn't have it in this case and that's why the Fourth Amendment ultimately was violated
is there a Saturday
s you come back here and sign the citation he's going to run his canine around your vehicle see
if it detect any kind of Narcotics or anything like that if he does protect narcotics inside your
vehicle we're going to start your vehicle we'll see what's inside of it that this time as you step
out for me so you can make her assign my ticket and the dog can run around the vehicle foreign

y'all see that y'all were in here have had it first so 40 minutes later which was too long for a
regular traffic stop they found nothing after the drug dog allegedly hit on drugs which of course
it didn't they found nothing because there was no drugs in the car so they got caught playing their
game violating the Constitution so back to the 44 count indictment against former uh Deputy Daniel
Wilkie it was just dismissed the judge in Hamilton County Tennessee dismissed the 44 count indictment
against former Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Deputy Wilkie Friday morning one of them had to
do with this traffic stop involving the husband of this lady Wanda Thurman and she was none too
happy about the dismissal I couldn't watch it seeing what he was doing to my son I just
I just couldn't watch all of it a video forcing Wanda Thurman to close her eyes shouldn't happen
to nobody regardless what kind of record they have this dash cam video shows sheriff's deputy
Daniel Wilkie stripping searching and hitting her son James Mitchell during a traffic stop
in 2019. so why were the charges dismissed well apparently it all comes down to a very special
special prosecutor Friday morning on the advice of a special prosecutor the judge throughout all
criminal charges when he said dismissed I looked at rich and I said did they say dismissed so the
charges were filed almost four years ago by one prosecutor and then you have this new prosecutor
a special prosecutor named Kevin Allen who now four years later has filed a motion to dismiss
because he said that the former Hamilton County prosecutor Neil Pinkston failed to provide him
with Case Files and other investigative Avenues including a review of litigation that did not
support prosecution however that apparently pissed off that former prosecutor Mr Pinkston and he gave
a press conference refuting those claims yes in a huge uh spreadsheet detailing all the traffic
stops uh he had all the videos that we that TBI were able to to collect all that was provided to
him the identity of who the victims were obviously is in the is in the indictment as well as uh
can get it from the investigator in our office or other officers that interviewed those people
it's not it's not it's not rocket science to figure out who's interviewed and how to
interview someone I don't know why they said that I don't know why he put that in writing I guess
he wants to blame me for for it I don't know but you know it's not true and I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna stay quietly anymore oh I think it's all politically driven this is what the sheriff of
that County Austin Garrett said in response to these 44 criminal charges being dismissed
you can't rush to judgment on things Sheriff Garrett said people should be cautious about
things that happened with government they should question things but they also should give it time
to run its course that's why I want to stress to always let the legal system run its course
because the end result a lot of times going to be completely different than when it began
completely different oh we know this very well yes what private citizen that is not a police
officer gets four years for things to run its course and what private citizen gets the course
to be dismissal of 44 criminal charges this is just another case of special treatment
for police officers here we have documentation of government at every level of this local Criminal
Justice System covering up for what are multiple or numerous acts of police misconduct of civil
rights violation that were documented that were caught on video and at the end it all goes away
because the prosecutor says the old prosecutor just didn't give him the files well there was the
old prosecutor he denied that he said the files were there and what files do they need that aren't
already on the internet I mean you can watch the video of these civil rights violations and
just the forced baptism itself a federal court as already said was a constitutional violation I knew
you wouldn't like the result result unless you're a police officer and probably even if you are a
police officer I do get emails all the time from police officers saying you know I've spent 29 30
whatever years in law enforcement and this pisses me off too so this is what pisses I think people
off more than anything is not just individual acts of misconduct but systematic acts of covering up
misconduct people want to know why it exists well this is why it exists because a complete lack of
accountability so apparently there are still some civil lawsuits pending I think maybe five still
civil lawsuits pending for alleged strip searches excessive force as well as other crimes alleged to
have been committed by Wilkie so perhaps we will do another update video at some point in The Saga
of who has definitely been alleged to have been one of the most bizarre and weird and awful police
officers in the country so as always thanks for watching if you like discussing this sort of thing
and learning about constitutional rights at the same time please subscribe both here
