00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Why did you let me
search your van

177
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,920
if you knew it was
full of marijuana?

178
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:49,880
Search it anyway.

179
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Barry: Well, that's not true.

180
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:53,679
That might be what you think.

181
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,679
If you had told me--

182
00:08:54,768 --> 00:08:57,491
I started walking like him,
talking like him.

183
00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:59,740
I learned the questions
he asked.

184
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:02,000
What did you tell me
that this van was loaded with

185
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,100
before I found out?

186
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,640
I believe I said
medical supplies, didn't I?

187
00:09:05,860 --> 00:09:06,860
Barry:
Medical supplies.

188
00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:09,379
Well, I'm not going to
tell you it's marijuana

189
00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:10,518
if you're not gonna look.

190
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,600
No kidding.

191
00:09:12,259 --> 00:09:15,399
I learned everything
I could about busting drugs

192
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:16,519
from Barry Washington.

193
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:19,000
And then I went nuts.

194
00:09:21,830 --> 00:09:24,330
We weren't out there to
write speeding tickets.

195
00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:28,870
We were trained to watch if
somebody looked like a criminal,

196
00:09:29,170 --> 00:09:30,550
we were going
to pull them over,

197
00:09:30,690 --> 00:09:32,490
interview them,
and see what happened.

198
00:09:33,930 --> 00:09:36,190
That marijuana doesn't help
your asthma, now does it?

199
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:39,130
That's bad on that asthma.

200
00:09:39,570 --> 00:09:41,129
That's harsh on your lung.

201
00:09:41,870 --> 00:09:45,810
Washington: Barry Cooper
was born to bust dope.

202
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:48,310
You don't learn it that fast.

203
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:56,259
I asked God to make me the best
drug officer on the planet.

204
00:09:57,719 --> 00:10:01,599
There were specialized task
forces that work narcotics.

205
00:10:02,639 --> 00:10:04,759
And I learned about drug dogs.

206
00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:08,279
There's a guy I graduated
the police academy with,

207
00:10:08,319 --> 00:10:09,740
and he had a drug dog.

208
00:10:10,179 --> 00:10:12,479
And my friend said, I'm
going to show you something.

209
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,799
He took a bag of marijuana
and hid it in a car.

210
00:10:17,299 --> 00:10:19,439
Then his partner
starts working the dog.

211
00:10:19,439 --> 00:10:23,120
And the dog got to the source
and started scratching.

212
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:25,559
Man, I thought that
was the neatest--

213
00:10:25,664 --> 00:10:28,493
I can't believe--
are you kidding me?

214
00:10:28,599 --> 00:10:30,839
I'm doing that.
I'm training my own dog.

215
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:32,240
And I started--
and everybody was like,

216
00:10:32,259 --> 00:10:33,319
you can't train your own dog.

217
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,479
These dogs are specially
trained in academies.

218
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,500
So I did the research.

219
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,959
And it cost $5,000 to buy one
of these dogs already trained.

220
00:10:43,579 --> 00:10:46,199
$5,000 was like
$5 million to me.

221
00:10:46,299 --> 00:10:48,000
There's no way I could do that.

222
00:10:48,779 --> 00:10:50,199
But I knew how to train a dog.

223
00:10:50,599 --> 00:10:53,740
You know, I trained
dogs to hunt raccoons.

224
00:10:54,719 --> 00:10:56,859
Barry took to
country life great.

225
00:10:57,519 --> 00:10:59,379
He loved training dogs.

226
00:10:59,879 --> 00:11:01,059
He loved to fish.

227
00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:04,019
He was always bringing
animals home.

228
00:11:04,099 --> 00:11:05,099
He loved snakes.

229
00:11:05,439 --> 00:11:06,439
Oh, god.

230
00:11:07,060 --> 00:11:08,800
Barry:
Training a drug dog is very easy.

231
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,300
Finding the right drug dog
to train is the hard part.

232
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,900
The dogs that are used
to locate narcotics

233
00:11:16,900 --> 00:11:18,760
have a high prey drive.

234
00:11:19,099 --> 00:11:21,079
You know that dog that
just everybody hates?

235
00:11:21,219 --> 00:11:23,480
And he's jumping up on you.
And he's real hyper.

236
00:11:23,660 --> 00:11:25,800
And he can just chase the ball
over and over and over?

237
00:11:26,680 --> 00:11:29,300
That's the dog you want
to start training.

238
00:11:30,359 --> 00:11:32,959
Then you just scent the ball
with marijuana.

239
00:11:33,179 --> 00:11:37,459
And the dog starts equating the
smell of marijuana to his toy.

240
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:38,759
He'll scratch at it.

241
00:11:38,980 --> 00:11:39,980
Get it out of there, Toby.
Get it out of there.

242
00:11:41,599 --> 00:11:42,599
That a boy. Dig it out.

243
00:11:44,299 --> 00:11:45,959
This is my dog, Toby.

244
00:11:47,699 --> 00:11:49,040
Got him certified

245
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,339
through the National Narcotic
Detector Dog Association.

246
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,780
Then they
had a competition.

247
00:11:54,219 --> 00:11:57,440
And out of 300 dogs,
he placed 13th.

248
00:11:58,339 --> 00:12:00,819
And I was the only
police officer there

249
00:12:00,819 --> 00:12:02,640
that had trained his own dog.

250
00:12:04,978 --> 00:12:07,641
Get it out of there, Toby.
Dig it out.

251
00:12:07,749 --> 00:12:09,260
Get it out of there, Toby.

252
00:12:09,404 --> 00:12:11,096
Get it out of there. That a boy.

253
00:12:11,204 --> 00:12:13,112
Oh, good puppy.

254
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:14,220
Now listen to me.

255
00:12:14,220 --> 00:12:15,639
I'm going to bring
a dog through there.

256
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:16,680
I'm going to look in it.

257
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:17,800
Dogs don't miss nothing.

258
00:12:19,220 --> 00:12:21,920
"Claywater PD
cracking down on crackheads."

259
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:27,800
"Barry 'Silver-tooth' Cooper
and the rest of the police force

260
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,860
had implemented a zero
tolerance drug crackdown."

261
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:33,980
The nickname "Silver-tooth"

262
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,100
carried throughout my law
enforcement career.

263
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,480
So when I would
pull somebody over,

264
00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:41,820
I'd just shine the flashlight
on my tooth.

265
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:47,640
And that first year,
with three miles of highway,

266
00:12:47,780 --> 00:12:49,420
I made over 100 drug arrests.

267
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,620
It was unheard of.

268
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:55,080
Reporter:
If there are any drugs around, this hound will sniff them out.

269
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:57,580
This afternoon, he found
a quarter pound of marijuana

270
00:12:57,580 --> 00:12:59,440
in Antonio Ruiz's toolbox.

271
00:12:59,940 --> 00:13:01,360
That's bad news for Ruiz

272
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,480
and good work by the hound
and the drug team.

273
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,340
But what happened at
the cult compound in Waco--

274
00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:12,240
Barry:
I got noticed by one of the most successful

275
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,400
drug task forces in the country.

276
00:13:14,980 --> 00:13:16,220
Jack:
Barry, my name's Jack Brewer

277
00:13:16,323 --> 00:13:18,376
with the Permian Basin
Drug Task Force.

278
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,620
Why do you want to come
out here and work for us?

279
00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:23,140
I feel like I could be an asset.

280
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:25,580
I want to get around
a bunch of guys

281
00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:29,340
that are experienced to help me
learn so I can keep excelling.

282
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,820
Joe:
Barry come in with a dog of his own that he had trained.

283
00:13:34,379 --> 00:13:37,180
Had a rope around
his neck for a leash.

284
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:39,860
And I thought, well,
where'd this guy come from?

285
00:13:40,379 --> 00:13:43,440
He was full of vinegar,
wanted to suit up every day

286
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,560
and go out and find
this type of dope.

287
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:47,140
He wanted to be top dog.

288
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,000
Brenda:
Barry is one determined person.

289
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:55,259
He gets something in his
head that he wants to do,

290
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,879
and he doesn't stop
till it's done.

291
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,120
Barry:
I was making more cases than all the agents

292
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,640
in the task force put together.

293
00:14:04,899 --> 00:14:07,300
You become a hero over
and over and over.

294
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:08,860
It's quite a rush.

295
00:14:18,750 --> 00:14:22,830
Announcer:
Live from the Permian Basin's 24-hour news leader,

296
00:14:23,290 --> 00:14:25,430
this is the Big 2 News Update.

297
00:14:27,610 --> 00:14:30,810
There's not a single day that
doesn't go by on the interstate

298
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:34,870
that we don't put somebody
in jail for narcotics

299
00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:36,910
or arrest somebody on a warrant.

300
00:14:37,090 --> 00:14:39,350
When I started working
for the drug task force,

301
00:14:39,770 --> 00:14:43,490
that's when I found out how the
war on drugs has really fought.

302
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:46,890
I had envisioned what
I saw in Hollywood,

303
00:14:47,330 --> 00:14:52,450
that these tactical guys
had made a foolproof plan.

304
00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:00,459
This person go there,
that one goes there.

305
00:15:00,540 --> 00:15:03,260
They go in, get on the ground,
and it's all clean

306
00:15:03,260 --> 00:15:04,459
and goes according to plan.

307
00:15:04,819 --> 00:15:05,939
It's nothing like that.

308
00:15:07,299 --> 00:15:10,059
I got on the board,
everybody's listening.

309
00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:11,659
Here's the house.

310
00:15:12,099 --> 00:15:13,799
We just bought
some cocaine from it.

311
00:15:13,899 --> 00:15:15,339
We're going there
to kick their ass.

312
00:15:15,339 --> 00:15:16,339
Let's go.

313
00:15:16,339 --> 00:15:18,139
And that's all
the planning we did.

314
00:15:18,281 --> 00:15:20,128
Officer: Where's their location?
Officer 2: 36.

315
00:15:20,199 --> 00:15:22,699
We're supposed to
wait for the jump out truck

316
00:15:22,699 --> 00:15:24,319
until it comes to
a complete stop.

317
00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:27,199
I had already jumped out
of the back of that truck

318
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:30,240
and was halfway to the door
before the truck ever stopped.

319
00:15:30,359 --> 00:15:32,659
I was kicking in the door
with nobody behind me.

320
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:33,679
I'm like, come on.

321
00:15:34,060 --> 00:15:35,520
We had flashbang grenades.

322
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,940
And we'd run up and break
their fucking window out

323
00:15:38,940 --> 00:15:39,940
and throw it through them.

324
00:15:40,020 --> 00:15:41,020
Boom.

325
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:43,180
Fucking nuts.

326
00:15:43,180 --> 00:15:44,959
Kids screaming, dogs barking.

327
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,079
And there's nine of us running
around looking for somebody

328
00:15:48,079 --> 00:15:49,079
to point a gun at.

329
00:15:49,190 --> 00:15:51,146
Officer: Put your fucking
face down.

330
00:15:51,219 --> 00:15:52,919
It's absolute chaos.

331
00:15:52,994 --> 00:15:54,456
And the...

332
00:15:57,230 --> 00:16:00,029
...let me tone this down
because this is not cool.

333
00:16:02,610 --> 00:16:03,670
They would film the raids.

334
00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:06,769
We would take it back
to the police station,

335
00:16:07,430 --> 00:16:09,250
rewind it,
and watch it and laugh.

336
00:16:10,591 --> 00:16:14,849
[Indistinct shouting]

337
00:16:14,950 --> 00:16:17,009
Barry:
And the funniest parts to us

338
00:16:18,370 --> 00:16:21,750
were the moments the person
was the most terrorized.

339
00:16:21,837 --> 00:16:24,490
[Indistinct conversation]

340
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:27,950
When you kick in the door
and you run a pistol

341
00:16:27,950 --> 00:16:30,110
in their fucking head
and scream,

342
00:16:30,290 --> 00:16:33,030
"Motherfucker, I'm going to
blow your goddamn brains out.

343
00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:34,290
Get on the fucking ground."

344
00:16:34,430 --> 00:16:36,990
And they're like, doing that.

345
00:16:37,550 --> 00:16:39,490
We would laugh about that shit.

346
00:16:40,330 --> 00:16:41,610
That's fucked up.

347
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:50,320
Why are the Texas police
so focused on people

348

with a relatively small
amount of drugs on them?

349
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,680
And it's because that's
where the money in policing

350
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,540
has been for the past 40 years.

Bobby: These Texas task forces
get this grant money.

352
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:06,380
They've got to show
something for it.

353
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:07,819
They've got to show cases.

354
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:10,280
And so if they can put
a case on a guy

355
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,079
that wants to buy
a bump of meth,

356
00:17:12,460 --> 00:17:14,980
they'll put him in a conspiracy
with another guy.

357
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,519
And they can round up 20
or 30 users and one guy

358
00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:19,619
that's slinging the dope.

359

behind you.

360

That shows the government's
getting their money's worth.

361
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,920
When you look at how those
incentives were written,

362
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:31,099
it wasn't lower the use
of drugs in this area.

363
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:35,200
It wasn't lower
the supply of drugs.

364

the task force.

some old drug agents told me,

367

hey, you find some money
and nobody's around,

368
00:17:52,299 --> 00:17:54,539
it's OK to snip a couple
hundred off the top

369
00:17:54,539 --> 00:17:55,500
and put it in your pocket.

370
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:56,500

I want the rest of the money out of those vehicles.

375

Get it all, all the money
and the dope.

376
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:11,200
No dope? OK, show me where
all the money's at.

You did real good.

380

If they didn't have the veneer
of law enforcement behind them,

381
00:18:22,779 --> 00:18:24,620

this vehicle as well?

Yes, sir, we're going
to seize the vehicle.

And I had two girls at home
waiting for me to get home.

What if somebody thought I
had a bag of pot at my house,

412

and they raided me
and caused that type of trauma?

This is as I'm searching through
their house for evidence.

tootin' bag of weird shit.

Barry, to some ears,

You learn that
it's easy to underestimate

Barry's intelligence.

740

Barry:
Do coffee grounds mask the odour of marijuana?

741
00:35:59,309 --> 00:36:00,369
Absolutely not.

742
00:36:00,369 --> 00:36:02,969
He really knows his shit.

743
00:36:03,330 --> 00:36:07,649
I found it was nearly
impossible to get my dog

744
00:36:07,649 --> 00:36:11,230
to search for any marijuana if
somebody had a cat in the car

745
00:36:11,230 --> 00:36:13,390
or some other type of animal.

746
00:36:13,890 --> 00:36:18,529
So these deer scents and fox
urines that hunters use,

747
00:36:18,890 --> 00:36:21,730
it's a good idea to spray
your tires with that.

748
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:24,609
It's a good idea to
carry a cat in your car

749
00:36:24,609 --> 00:36:26,649
if you're going to have a couple
of marijuana cigarettes.

750
00:36:26,649 --> 00:36:28,549
Throughout the making
of "Never Get Busted,"

751
00:36:28,730 --> 00:36:30,769
I knew that I was the audience.

752
00:36:30,870 --> 00:36:33,870
Another really good idea
is to conceal your stash

753
00:36:33,870 --> 00:36:35,859
as high as you can get it.

754
00:36:35,859 --> 00:36:37,649
Travis: I had been arrested for
a small amount of marijuana.

It's scary.

758

Somehow, my dad was able
to get my record expunged.

759
00:36:46,330 --> 00:36:49,629
But the impact it
had on my life was that

760
00:36:49,629 --> 00:36:54,949
it became this expensive,
scary, embarrassing moment

Wear latex gloves when
you're hiding your stash.

on what he was going to say

764
00:37:03,850 --> 00:37:05,850
to make sure that never
happened again.

765
00:37:06,849 --> 00:37:10,049
I had an informant tell me
that he never carried

766
00:37:10,049 --> 00:37:11,769
more than he could eat.

767
00:37:12,010 --> 00:37:13,870
I'd never heard
anybody say that.

768
00:37:13,870 --> 00:37:14,870
"Just eat it."

769
00:37:14,930 --> 00:37:16,250
And I'm here to tell you
I've done that

770
00:37:16,250 --> 00:37:17,609
at least five times in my life.

she's been snorting coke.

I said, "Well, you know what?

871
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:50,680
They've got me pissed off.

872
00:41:51,039 --> 00:41:53,940
Because what I'm doing
is the right thing to do

873
00:41:53,940 --> 00:41:56,240
and the wrong about caging
people for marijuana."

874
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,760
For Barry to come from
being the enforcer

875
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,460
to fighting the enforcers,

876
00:42:02,460 --> 00:42:04,639
that's why it caught
so much attention.

877
00:42:05,139 --> 00:42:07,639
I'd never dropped a story
in the national press

878
00:42:07,639 --> 00:42:09,639
and had it go that wide
that fast.

879
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:11,960
Barry:
The article comes out.

880
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,280
CNN emailed,
wanted an interview.

881
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,280
Fox wanted an interview.

882
00:42:16,370 --> 00:42:18,880
All that. I'm like, holy shit.

883
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,080
What do I do?

884
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,380
- Called my lawyer.
- This is Bobby Mims.

885
00:42:22,619 --> 00:42:24,420
I said, "Get over
here now, please."

886
00:42:25,139 --> 00:42:27,800
And I said, "Well, first of all,
don't talk to Fox.

887
00:42:28,180 --> 00:42:30,820
They're about as far
right wing as you can get.

888
00:42:30,820 --> 00:42:32,559
Barry:
I said, "I know my arguments."

889
00:42:33,060 --> 00:42:36,440
If I get on television
and I whoop my enemy,

890
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,200
that's going to last.

891
00:42:38,660 --> 00:42:40,340
So I chose Fox on purpose.

892
00:42:44,871 --> 00:42:47,203
[Indistinct] is already riled
up about this next guest.

893
00:42:47,270 --> 00:42:49,350
You have to imagine
a cop who advises

894
00:42:49,350 --> 00:42:51,110
dopers how to hide their stash.

895
00:42:51,169 --> 00:42:52,430
You know, Barry,
you're reminding

896
00:42:52,590 --> 00:42:54,930
more of what NAMBLA does
with sex offenders.

897
00:42:55,110 --> 00:42:57,930
NAMBLA teaches the child
rapist how to do it,

898
00:42:57,930 --> 00:42:58,870
how to get away with it.

899
00:42:58,870 --> 00:43:02,050
There is a big difference in
somebody that molests a child

900
00:43:02,050 --> 00:43:03,950
and somebody that
smokes a joint.

901
00:43:04,010 --> 00:43:06,790
In fact, we're kicking child
molesters out of prison

902
00:43:06,790 --> 00:43:07,730
at an alarming rate

903
00:43:07,730 --> 00:43:10,550
to make room for the
750,000 pot smokers a year.

904
00:43:10,570 --> 00:43:12,270
You're also teaching
the bad guys.

905
00:43:12,270 --> 00:43:13,150
And you know the correlation

906
00:43:13,150 --> 00:43:14,910
- between marijuana
and these kind of crimes. - They're not bad guys.

907
00:43:15,833 --> 00:43:17,015
So you're making
crime worse, too.

908
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,406
And you should be
ashamed of yourself.

909
00:43:18,510 --> 00:43:21,610
No, no. You should be ashamed
for those type of statements.

910
00:43:21,850 --> 00:43:24,350
I don't have much to say about
those early media appearances

911
00:43:24,350 --> 00:43:26,690
other than
he kicked ass on them.

912
00:43:26,910 --> 00:43:28,589
It's not just pot
that they might have.

913
00:43:28,589 --> 00:43:29,952
If pot smokers are criminals,

914
00:43:30,056 --> 00:43:32,021
then 42% of America
is criminals,

915
00:43:32,370 --> 00:43:36,570
according to the CDC, 42% of
America has tried marijuana.

916
00:43:37,050 --> 00:43:40,260
He was one of the first
to start showing

917
00:43:40,260 --> 00:43:44,450
how it really goes on in drug
interdictions and drug busts.

918
00:43:44,450 --> 00:43:47,530
And he had, quite frankly,
had a lot more credibility

919
00:43:47,530 --> 00:43:49,010
than we do as criminal
defense lawyers

920
00:43:49,010 --> 00:43:50,090
because we represent criminals.

921
00:43:50,450 --> 00:43:51,970
Barry Cooper,
why would you do this?

922
00:43:52,410 --> 00:43:55,210
Logic, reason, and compassion,
and the facts and the evidence.

923
00:43:55,430 --> 00:43:56,730
He's doing radio interviews.

924
00:43:56,870 --> 00:43:58,030
He's taking phone calls.

925
00:43:58,170 --> 00:43:59,590
The whole thing escalated.

926
00:43:59,890 --> 00:44:01,870
It's going to take
true activism.

927
00:44:01,970 --> 00:44:05,029
- And this is activism?
This is activism? - It's going to take compassion.

928
00:44:05,029 --> 00:44:05,700
- You're trying to--
- It's going to take reason and logic--

929
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:06,700
- You're trying to help drug
dealers. - end the war on drugs.

930
00:44:06,868 --> 00:44:09,211
[Crosstalk]

931
00:44:09,430 --> 00:44:11,390
It just seems like
a way to get stoners

932
00:44:11,390 --> 00:44:13,730
into some really goofy
problems with police, to me.

933
00:44:13,730 --> 00:44:15,230
You know, but I mean,
it's just vile.

934
00:44:15,410 --> 00:44:17,530
I mean, these people
are just vile.

935
00:44:17,610 --> 00:44:20,090
I kind of liked when he was
an asshole to other assholes.

936
00:44:20,769 --> 00:44:23,110
- People smoke pot, and then
they use bad judgment. - Let me speak.

937
00:44:23,230 --> 00:44:25,030
David:
Barry didn't back down.

938
00:44:25,210 --> 00:44:27,530
He would state the facts.

939
00:44:27,890 --> 00:44:31,890
According to FARS, the Fatal
Accident Reporting System,

940
00:44:32,010 --> 00:44:34,410
alcohol and tobacco
kills 100,000 people.

941
00:44:34,410 --> 00:44:38,610
And because of his background,
it was much harder

942
00:44:38,610 --> 00:44:40,130
for them to dismiss him.

943
00:44:40,130 --> 00:44:42,590
Not one single death
has been contributed

944
00:44:42,590 --> 00:44:44,050
to marijuana overdose.

945
00:44:44,170 --> 00:44:46,450
- It's my opinion.
- You're letting her spew garbage.

946
00:44:47,210 --> 00:44:49,750
The DEA had made
a statement in the paper

947
00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:52,010
that they didn't know if they
were going to arrest me or not.

948
00:44:53,310 --> 00:44:56,310
Phones were ringing,
helicopters flying around,

949
00:44:56,410 --> 00:44:57,410
little airplanes.

950
00:44:58,210 --> 00:44:59,830
I couldn't tell which
ones were reporters

951
00:44:59,830 --> 00:45:01,150
and which ones were cops.

952
00:45:01,730 --> 00:45:04,930
Accusations about dope-smoking
cops and responses

953
00:45:04,930 --> 00:45:07,710
from some very angry
narcotics officers.

954
00:45:07,950 --> 00:45:08,950
In a word, betrayal.

955
00:45:08,950 --> 00:45:13,130
You cannot turn your back
on your people.

956
00:45:13,490 --> 00:45:16,490
When you do,
you're going to wake up,

957
00:45:16,490 --> 00:45:18,930
and God is going to
chuck you out the door,

958
00:45:19,350 --> 00:45:22,370
because you're a liar
and you're a thief.

959
00:45:23,390 --> 00:45:24,510
Barry: The cops are pissed.

960
00:45:25,030 --> 00:45:27,030
That may have something
to do with the white truck

961
00:45:27,030 --> 00:45:28,630
that followed us around
all day yesterday.

962
00:45:30,210 --> 00:45:31,830
I started to get real spooked.

963
00:45:32,350 --> 00:45:34,690
What Barry saw as justice

964
00:45:35,250 --> 00:45:37,110
the government saw as betrayal.

965
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,820
Barry:
OK, man, what you want?

966
00:45:42,860 --> 00:45:46,019
After I released
the "Never Get Busted" DVDs,

967
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:51,540
you have no idea how many times
I woke up with the police

968
00:45:51,540 --> 00:45:52,580
beating on our door.

969
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:54,920
I lost count how many times.

970
00:45:55,059 --> 00:45:56,900
More than 20, less than 50.

971
00:45:57,139 --> 00:45:59,320
This is like the fifth
or sixth time

972
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,320
y'all have been here
for weird, crazy stuff.

973
00:46:02,385 --> 00:46:03,407
Officer: Okay, sir,

974
00:46:03,505 --> 00:46:05,680
well this is the first
time I've ever been here.

975
00:46:05,780 --> 00:46:11,559
They constantly harassed me,
pulled me over, and searched me.

976
00:46:11,727 --> 00:46:14,162
[Phone ringing]

977
00:46:14,330 --> 00:46:15,330
Hello?

978
00:46:15,490 --> 00:46:18,390
And that's when I got a call
from this guy out in Hollywood.

979
00:46:18,850 --> 00:46:19,850
This is Barry Cooper.

980
00:46:20,150 --> 00:46:21,350
David Ballard:
My name is David Ballard.

981
00:46:21,430 --> 00:46:23,110
I'm a Hollywood producer.

982
00:46:23,350 --> 00:46:24,810
And I put two
and two together,

983
00:46:24,910 --> 00:46:27,670
and I had the idea of pitching
a reality show.

984
00:46:28,889 --> 00:46:31,869
I was going to
call it "KopBusters."

985
00:46:32,869 --> 00:46:36,130
We are headed to Hollywood.

986
00:46:36,630 --> 00:46:38,369
We're on the airplane in Austin.

987
00:46:39,070 --> 00:46:40,070
All right.

988
00:46:40,230 --> 00:46:41,970
- Big movie deal.
- Toodles.

989
00:46:45,180 --> 00:46:49,019
Barry:
Bought a plane ticket and flew over to see this guy.

990
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,840
David Ballard:
My name is David Ballard.

991
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,860
I'm a writer, producer, actor.

992
00:47:00,516 --> 00:47:02,194
Ahh!

993
00:47:02,300 --> 00:47:06,240
And I helped Barry Cooper
get into show biz.

994
00:47:07,820 --> 00:47:10,120
I produced a show
called "MANswers."

995
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,420
It was as politically
incorrect a show

996
00:47:13,420 --> 00:47:15,320
as you could possibly imagine.

997
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,700
Narrator:
When the bullets start flying, a dude's ass is grass

998
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,400
unless he's got protection.

999
00:47:21,700 --> 00:47:24,180
But why should a guy buy
a bulletproof vest

1000
00:47:24,940 --> 00:47:27,120
when he can grow one instead?

1001
00:47:28,300 --> 00:47:31,519
How fat would a dude have
to be to stop a bullet?

1002
00:47:32,220 --> 00:47:34,240
The mandate of MANswers

1003
00:47:34,700 --> 00:47:39,260
was boobs, beer,
guns, and drugs.

1004
00:47:39,940 --> 00:47:42,260
As part of my official duties,

1005
00:47:42,720 --> 00:47:47,440
I was required to watch every
ridiculous video ever made.

1006
00:47:47,580 --> 00:47:51,039
So hiding marijuana
in food is a good idea.

1007
00:47:51,180 --> 00:47:52,960
David Ballard:
I watched "Never Get Busted."

1008
00:47:53,720 --> 00:47:56,160
Barry knew a ton about drugs.

1009
00:47:56,263 --> 00:47:57,570
It's a really good idea--

1010
00:47:57,674 --> 00:47:59,496
David Ballard:
It was MANswers 101.

1011
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:00,600
Sign this guy up.

1012
00:48:02,039 --> 00:48:04,820
It's like your classic moment
where you call someone

1013
00:48:04,820 --> 00:48:08,760
and you go, "Hey, kid,
you're going to be a star."

1014
00:48:08,828 --> 00:48:11,238
[♪♪♪]

1015
00:48:14,199 --> 00:48:15,921
OK, right now, say it.

1016
00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:17,990
- Welcome to Hollywood.
- All right.

1017
00:48:17,990 --> 00:48:19,090
Wait, wait, wait, David.
Wait, wait, wait.

1018
00:48:19,430 --> 00:48:21,150
So we're here with
our manager, Dave-o.

1019
00:48:21,670 --> 00:48:23,330
We're about to sign
some big deals.

1020
00:48:23,490 --> 00:48:25,570
- Watch what I'm telling you.
Bye. - Don't jinx it.

1021
00:48:25,730 --> 00:48:28,070
One of the stories
we did with Barry was--

1022
00:48:28,670 --> 00:48:31,170
Can a police dog sniff
drugs and get high.

1023
00:48:31,730 --> 00:48:35,990
If a police dog were to ingest
crack cocaine during a bust,

1024
00:48:36,269 --> 00:48:38,250
that canine would get high.

1025
00:48:38,710 --> 00:48:41,970
You know, the guy, he's--
pretty much of a natural.

1026
00:48:42,350 --> 00:48:43,730
- Barry: And who are you?
- I'm Sabrina.

1027
00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:46,380
- Sabrina, what do you do
up here in this office? - Intern.

1028
00:48:46,380 --> 00:48:50,110
Barry: The intern. Very nice.
Very nice. OK.

1029
00:48:50,330 --> 00:48:51,650
After we finished MANswers,

1030
00:48:52,370 --> 00:48:53,830
Barry pitched me this idea

1031
00:48:53,830 --> 00:48:56,410
for a reality show
called "KopBusters,"

1032
00:48:56,790 --> 00:49:00,010
where he would go around
and bust crooked cops.

1033
00:49:00,250 --> 00:49:01,730
I was like, OK, cool.

1034
00:49:02,110 --> 00:49:03,390
Let's try and sign a deal.

1035
00:49:03,870 --> 00:49:04,870
Get in the picture.

1036
00:49:05,310 --> 00:49:06,650
We'll go see Kevin Booth.

1037
00:49:06,990 --> 00:49:09,750
We're going by his
Hollywood house on the way

1038
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:10,910
to the hotel to have a meeting.

Just so I'm clear,

1378

when you handed this package
to Miss Madden,

1379
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,760
you didn't tell her
there were drugs in it?

1380

Mr. Madden hired the best polygraph operator on the planet

1382

who used to be a polygraph
operator for the FBI.

"Were these your drugs?" "No."

1385
01:06:48,500 --> 01:06:49,859
Then she passed.

The informant on the deal
who set her up

1387
01:06:57,270 --> 01:06:59,650
polygraphed him,
and he passed too.

1390
01:07:09,250 --> 01:07:11,870
A couple of years before
Yolanda was set up,

1391
01:07:12,409 --> 01:07:15,170
he was accused of planting
drugs on other people.

1392
01:07:18,900 --> 01:07:21,540
I found out that the feds
had Joe Commander

1393
01:07:21,540 --> 01:07:22,540

happened to him.

It was only after the trial,

1396

the assistant chief
of police told me,

1397
01:07:34,940 --> 01:07:35,940
he said, "Well, Raymond,

1398
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,100
what happened is they planted
drugs on the wrong person."

1399
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:42,640
And I said, "Well, Don,
tell me how you plant drugs

1400
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:43,640
on the right person."

1401
01:07:46,050 --> 01:07:48,750
I never planted
drugs on anybody.

1402
01:07:49,510 --> 01:07:50,630
That was unacceptable.

1403

I'm like, "Motherfucker,
they did your daughter, bro.

1404
01:07:58,119 --> 01:07:59,860
They did plant drugs on her."

1405
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,380
Raymond:
Outside the courthouse, after the trial,

1406
01:08:07,380 --> 01:08:10,140
one of the cops said,
"God, we almost got caught."

1407
01:08:12,100 --> 01:08:13,660
And I'm sitting there
listening to that.

1408
01:08:18,899 --> 01:08:21,700

off in prison.

all the people I'd put in jail.

1412

parents from their children.

Barry felt he had a need to
make some things straight

1414
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,080
that he had done out in Odessa.

1415
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,979
So it was kind of a, you know,
a chance for redemption for him

1416
01:08:56,979 --> 01:08:59,380
and a chance for me to get
my daughter out of jail.

Let me flowchart this.

And he just said, "We've got
to get publicity for Yolanda."

1419
01:09:05,340 --> 01:09:10,399
Barry:
I told Mr. Madden, "I'll get Yolanda's story on the news."

1420
01:09:12,060 --> 01:09:13,060
And I did.

1421
01:09:14,060 --> 01:09:16,060

in the other room filming all
of it with hidden cameras.

then lure the cops in

1454

is to prove that these cops,

1544
01:15:05,270 --> 01:15:07,270
who were instrumental
in having this woman

1545
01:15:07,270 --> 01:15:09,646
put in federal prison,
are fucking liars.

1546
01:15:09,646 --> 01:15:10,646
That's right.

1547
01:15:10,810 --> 01:15:14,170
The whole idea is it's not a pot
issue, it's a freedom issue.

1548
01:15:14,930 --> 01:15:17,890
If they do the proper
investigation,

1549
01:15:18,150 --> 01:15:19,610
they won't kick the door in.

1550
01:15:20,689 --> 01:15:23,890
But if they are who I think they
are, that door's coming down.

1551
01:15:24,070 --> 01:15:27,990
If the cops think for one
second they're getting set up.

1552
01:15:28,750 --> 01:15:29,750
- Do you know what I mean?
- Oh, yeah.

1553
01:15:30,870 --> 01:15:32,630
I felt the plan
was quite ambitious

1554
01:15:32,630 --> 01:15:34,070
and certainly dangerous.

1555
01:15:34,449 --> 01:15:36,590
That wasn't my role,
was to have doubts.

1556
01:15:36,750 --> 01:15:39,050
My role was to help
advise on the legality

1557
01:15:39,050 --> 01:15:41,790
and the potential ramifications
of what could occur.

1558
01:15:42,229 --> 01:15:46,210
The legality was always
a great question

1559
01:15:46,750 --> 01:15:47,970
because no one's
ever thought of it.

1560
01:15:47,970 --> 01:15:49,109
Like, "Is it legal to do this?"

1561
01:15:49,790 --> 01:15:51,510
I mean, we're busting cops,

1562
01:15:52,030 --> 01:15:53,750
and no one else has ever
done this before.

1563
01:15:54,529 --> 01:15:56,609
Man: I got a question
for the attorneys.

1564
01:15:57,310 --> 01:15:58,649
Honestly, what are
we looking at?

1565
01:15:58,748 --> 01:16:00,917
Reposa:
As far as going to jail.

1566
01:16:01,017 --> 01:16:02,562
[Overlapping conversation]

1567
01:16:02,661 --> 01:16:04,666
Whether or not you can
publish your footage.

1568
01:16:04,766 --> 01:16:06,607
- What I'm saying is--
Barry: I think you can publish anything--

1569
01:16:06,673 --> 01:16:08,219
- I do too.
Barry: When it comes to the cops.

1570
01:16:08,350 --> 01:16:11,489
It's domain.
It's investigative journalism.

1571
01:16:11,890 --> 01:16:16,230
Reposa:
We need the cops to break the law

1572
01:16:16,230 --> 01:16:19,270
by making an illegal
search of the house.

1573
01:16:19,810 --> 01:16:22,670
And we've got to do it without
breaking the law ourselves

1574
01:16:23,130 --> 01:16:25,170
because nobody here
wants to go to prison.

1575
01:16:26,290 --> 01:16:31,610
The law was very clear
about what the cops could get

1576
01:16:31,610 --> 01:16:33,370
a search warrant on.

1577
01:16:34,010 --> 01:16:38,069
They can't get a search warrant
based on just an anonymous tip.

1578
01:16:38,310 --> 01:16:40,989
Otherwise, I can get
mad at my neighbour

1579
01:16:40,989 --> 01:16:43,340
and pick up the phone
and make an anonymous call

1580
01:16:43,340 --> 01:16:45,530
and say my neighbour's got a
kilo of cocaine in the house

1581
01:16:45,530 --> 01:16:46,590
and get him raided.

1582
01:16:46,869 --> 01:16:48,149
This is the front door.

1583
01:16:48,910 --> 01:16:51,990
If we called the police

1584
01:16:51,990 --> 01:16:57,570
and said there's a marijuana
grow house on Lotte Street,

1585
01:16:57,789 --> 01:16:59,710
that's false report to
a police officer.

1586
01:16:59,790 --> 01:17:00,790
That's against the law.

1587
01:17:01,570 --> 01:17:04,570
But there's no such law
as false report to a preacher.

1588
01:17:04,686 --> 01:17:07,569
[♪♪♪]

1589
01:17:07,649 --> 01:17:11,109
To get the cops
interested in the house,

1590
01:17:11,570 --> 01:17:13,570
I drafted a letter

1591
01:17:14,250 --> 01:17:16,690
as if I was
a pissed-off girlfriend

1592
01:17:17,330 --> 01:17:21,509
that said I got involved
with this guy

1593
01:17:21,509 --> 01:17:23,910
who's got 50 marijuana plants

1594
01:17:23,910 --> 01:17:26,150
growing at 232 Lotte Street,

1595
01:17:26,689 --> 01:17:29,009
and I feel guilty 'cause
I'm a Christian.

1596
01:17:29,489 --> 01:17:34,509
And by the way, there's
$11,000 hidden in the chimney.

1597
01:17:35,109 --> 01:17:36,969
Raymond: The bait we're
gonna use is money.

1598
01:17:38,077 --> 01:17:40,750
Barry knew drugs was not
what they was after.

1599
01:17:40,849 --> 01:17:42,750
It was money that they
were interested in.

1600
01:17:43,189 --> 01:17:48,029
And then Candi went
to a local church

1601
01:17:48,410 --> 01:17:50,929
and handed that
letter to a pastor

1602
01:17:52,250 --> 01:17:54,770
and said, "Look, I feel
bad about something.

1603
01:17:55,230 --> 01:17:57,129
Please read this letter."

1604
01:17:57,217 --> 01:17:59,821
[♪♪♪]

1605
01:17:59,910 --> 01:18:02,450
So the preacher
gets the letter

1606
01:18:02,450 --> 01:18:05,330
and did exactly what we
thought he would do.

1607
01:18:05,590 --> 01:18:07,070
He went and turned it
in to the police.

1608
01:18:07,789 --> 01:18:09,529
Okay, we're going
to walk into the mall

1609
01:18:09,530 --> 01:18:13,430
and buy a prepaid
Visa debit card

1610
01:18:13,430 --> 01:18:15,470
to order equipment online.

1611
01:18:15,690 --> 01:18:16,690
Come on.

1612
01:18:16,785 --> 01:18:21,235
[♪♪♪]

1613
01:18:21,300 --> 01:18:23,720
This operation was top secret.

1614
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:29,220
I had to encrypt everything,
and I had to use blow-up phones.

1615
01:18:29,300 --> 01:18:30,680
You know, get a phone
from Walmart,

1616
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:32,980
use it for a little bit, throw
it away, get another phone.

1617
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,860
I had to really use
every technique I knew

1618
01:18:35,860 --> 01:18:37,740
to keep this from
getting leaked.

1619
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,699
One of our agents just
quit all of a sudden.

1620
01:18:41,020 --> 01:18:43,779
He called and said he was
worried about going to jail,

1621
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:46,140
and I tried to explain
to him we weren't doing

1622
01:18:46,140 --> 01:18:49,280
anything illegal,
but it's a high-pressure thing

1623
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,460
going on here, I guess,
with some folks.

1624
01:18:51,779 --> 01:18:55,940
Understanding how police
illegally raid houses,

1625
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,300
I set up a marijuana grow light.

1626
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:01,520
Merry Christmas.

1627
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,740
And instead of putting
marijuana plants under it,

1628
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:07,320
I bought little Christmas trees.

1629
01:19:07,968 --> 01:19:11,003
[Laughter]

1630
01:19:11,350 --> 01:19:15,790
We made a sign that said,
"There's nothing illegal

01:19:15,790 --> 01:19:17,070
happening in this house.

1632

You're part of a reality
show called 'KopBusters.'"

there will be

01:19:22,890 --> 01:19:26,930
a group of activists
followed by a film crew.

01:19:27,190 --> 01:19:29,910
We will all be
dressed in red shirts

01:19:30,190 --> 01:19:33,610
that you see nailed
to the wall next to this sign,

1637
01:19:33,910 --> 01:19:35,290
and you will be approached.

01:19:35,610 --> 01:19:38,710
What I wanted to do is
these cops raid a house.

1639
01:19:39,010 --> 01:19:40,490
I didn't want to jump
on them right then

while their adrenaline was up,
'cause we'd get shot.

1643
01:19:45,730 --> 01:19:47,390
Yeah, spent hours on that.

1644
01:19:48,750 --> 01:19:53,130
Candi and my dad involved me in
pretty much all of the projects

1645
01:19:53,130 --> 01:19:56,430

regarding KopBusters

I thought everything
was normal growing up,

but looking back, a lot of
things probably weren't.

We might do something
to trigger the raid

off two streets over,

down the street

and walk right up
to the front door and go in.

we didn't know about.

01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:42,320
David:
Simply to see it done to the police by an ex-cop

1880
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:44,239
felt like you were
seeing something

1881
01:29:44,239 --> 01:29:46,440
you never were gonna
see in your whole life.

1882
01:29:47,239 --> 01:29:49,860
Stephen: Nobody had ever
busted the cops before

1883
01:29:49,860 --> 01:29:53,800
and shared it to so many
people all over the world.

1884
01:29:54,480 --> 01:29:56,739
There was millions and
millions and millions

1885
01:29:56,739 --> 01:29:58,239
of hits overnight.

1886
01:29:58,900 --> 01:30:00,420
It was just everywhere.

1887
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:04,460
The term "KopBuster"
was the number one word

1888
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,840
searched on Google
for two weeks.

1889
01:30:08,140 --> 01:30:09,140
Free Yolanda!

1890
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:14,840
Now, even the most
cynical journalists

1891
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:17,940
are going to have to
ask, "Who's Yolanda?"

1892
01:30:18,480 --> 01:30:20,720
I can prove absolutely
without a doubt she's innocent.

1893
01:30:21,260 --> 01:30:23,640
Reporter:
Her father says he's been trying to get a court

1894
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:25,920
to retry the case
since the conviction.

1895
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:28,920
A lot of the media
now had a reason

1896
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:31,000
to look at that specific case.

1897
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:32,760
Her family says
the drugs were planted

1898
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:34,220
and they've got
evidence to prove it.

1899
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:36,940
Today, they got their chance to
present some of that evidence

1900
01:30:36,940 --> 01:30:39,320
in an evidentiary hearing in
federal court in Midland.

1901
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,560
And when that occurred,
something almost...

1902
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:45,840
...unbelievable happened.

1904
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,180
Former Odessa police
officer Barry Cooper

1905
01:30:50,180 --> 01:30:51,520

1906
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:52,900
to sting the Odessa
Police Department

Today, the family that
hired Cooper and his crew

1909
01:30:57,539 --> 01:31:00,380
to set up a sting are
getting what they want.

I'm excited that we had a hand

in getting Yolanda
to this point,

1928
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:29,720
but I'm bitter of the pain

1929
01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:33,660
that this has caused Yolanda
and her kids and her family,

1930
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:35,200
so it's bittersweet to me.

Wow! Hey Raymond.

01:32:41,911 --> 01:32:43,627
Good to see you, brother.

I'm so glad y'all took
the time to make it by.

Come here, girl.

01:32:50,220 --> 01:32:52,440
Yolanda:
Barry's 100% the reason I got out early.

1937
01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:55,920
KopBusters and this
thing that he did

1938
01:32:56,460 --> 01:32:58,240
and the publicity that it drew

1939
01:32:58,240 --> 01:32:59,740
put pressure on
the courts, obviously.

1940
01:33:00,460 --> 01:33:02,240
You know, people started
asking questions and stuff

1941
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:05,420
and making phone calls,
and so they have to stand up

1942
01:33:05,420 --> 01:33:06,420
and do the right
thing eventually.

1943
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,020
I mean, I was really fucking
proud of my dad for that.

1944
01:33:09,060 --> 01:33:10,880
I still am proud of
my dad for that.

1945
01:33:11,039 --> 01:33:14,220
That doesn't
happen very often,

1946
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:17,280
and I can say I can't
imagine a scenario today

1947
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,079
where it would happen
again with me in my life.

1948
01:33:20,540 --> 01:33:22,280
I may have been getting
out and getting ready

1949
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:24,980
to settle into my life,
but there were no officers

1950
01:33:24,980 --> 01:33:28,100
ever held accountable for
what happened in my case.

1951
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,060
I never caught anybody
doing any wrongdoing

1952
01:33:32,060 --> 01:33:33,740
in that drug task force.

1953
01:33:33,740 --> 01:33:36,579
If I had of,
they'd have been reported.

1954
01:33:39,980 --> 01:33:44,660
KopBusters wasn't just going
after the police for corruption.

1955
01:33:45,020 --> 01:33:49,000
It was going against
the very drug task forces

1956
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:53,020
and even some of the fellow
officers that Barry worked with.

1957

You are poking the bear,
and not just any bear,

1958

but a bear that you know
and that knows you,

1959
01:34:00,579 --> 01:34:04,340
and as personally
as Barry took things,

1960
01:34:04,780 --> 01:34:07,240
the reaction
was just as personal.

considered me a traitor.

I got death threats.

But you can talk to me through the window.

1971
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,420
We had a strict rule.

Never, ever, ever open
your door for the police.

You're under no obligation to
open the door for the cops.

01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:51,160
If the police had a legal
right to be in your home,

1975
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:54,780
they would kick the door in
and raid your house

1976
01:34:54,780 --> 01:34:56,140
with a search warrant.

1977
01:34:56,500 --> 01:35:00,180
If you do not open the door,
you will not go to jail.

1978
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,539
Go get a warrant
and get me later.

get the fuck out of here.

And this is what bothered me,
is their hands were shaking.

01:36:00,970 --> 01:36:06,830
And I knew when cops were
in the mood to shoot,

1997
01:36:06,990 --> 01:36:09,970
they wanted to be the one
to shoot Barry Cooper.

1998
01:36:10,450 --> 01:36:13,210

my head like this,

their hands shaking,

in, helicopter overhead.
