That's terrible advice. If you get a call from someone saying he's FBI and wants to talk, either refuse, or get a lawyer first. Do not lie and do not tell the truth.

In this day and age I wouldn't talk to local, state or federal law enforcement without legal representation. Even if I know I'm not the subject of the investigation.

Sounds like he wanted to meet the agent one on one, and get him to inform on others in the Dept. But it didn’t exactly go as planned.

The sheriff leaving in that situation shows he knew what was happening.


i'm wondering if we read about this whole department going down in the future. I agree this cop wasnt the likely target.

The agent’s vehicle tags didn’t trace back to the government agency deputies expected.

After a check of his driver’s license, his name popped up on a terrorist watch list, according to bodycam footage and Sheriff A.J. Smith in a subsequent interview.

Gordon called his supervisor, Sgt. T.J. Carroll, to tell him what was going on. Carroll advised the interview would have to be rescheduled through the sheriff’s office.

?(The agent’s) demeanor appeared to change as if this agitated him,” Gordon said. “Mr. Hatten told me he wasn’t going to do that, he said he would have the U.S. attorney contact me directly to take care of this.”

That’s when the deputy — convinced the mystery man may be a fraud after all — activated his body camer

Exactly. Say nothing until consulting a lawyer. And have the lawyer present for any interview. Even if you are innocent, you can't assume that anyone from the FBI is honest or trustworthy. Sad state of affairs, but that's where we are.

Wouldn't be nearly as bad without the dispatcher sending officers to some trashy house with a mother's son living in a trailer in her yard.

Hope I never need an ambulance there.

The feds in general will turn the screws against you, your family, your friends, and anyone else that can give them leverage, regardless of your guilt or innocence.

Of course they don’t. Did he expect them to come back and say “FBI Police Corruption Division”???

They are called “Ghost Plates” so the po-po wont know they are being followed/investigated by a higher ranking agency.

Watched the whole thing. Both are certified pricks who have probably abused their power of the badge more than once. Good riddance.
