San Bernardino, CA Police Officer Harasses Woman with Helicopter (Video)
A San Bernardino, California police officer piloting a helicopter was caught on video (below) circling a woman named Tiffany Jones in the desert, landing and interrogating her for no apparent reason.
According to InfoWars.com, the video shows the police helicopter circling Jones several times as she films.
After the helicopter then lands, a police officer approaches Jones and asks her what she is doing.
“Just exploring and picking up rocks,” Jones replies.
The police officer then demands her ID, which Jones doesn't have on her.
The police officer, without probable cause, takes her name and date of birth to perform a criminal background check.
The police officer then asks Jones if she has any weapons and says: “Don’t put your hands in your pockets.”
“I know you’re doing your job, but I don’t consent to a search," states Jones.
After searching Jones, performing background checks and interrogating her, the police officer walks back to his helicopter.
The incident took place on January 24, before the shootings that led to the manhunt for Christopher Dorner.
Ironically, the city of San Bernadino has claimed it's going broke, but can somehow afford $2,000 dollars an hour to fuel a police helicopter to question unarmed women in the middle of the desert.

While we dont know all of the
While we dont know all of the circumstances, What exactly about how she reacted warrents attacking her personally? The way she reacted is how any sane person would react to the situation. No body has to respect law enforcement, especially when they go out of their way to abuse their power. Respecting the law sure, but law enforcement officers are not "the law" as you so succinctly insinuated. Most times they are people, like you and me, who let their positions go to their heads.
The writer of this story
The writer of this story really needs to educate himself on the difference of Police versus Sheriff. At no point during the video did I see the word Police. Not on the helicopter nor the officers uniform. That helicopter is being operated and flown by the San Bernardino Sheriffs Department. What does the budget problems of San Bernardino City have to do with anything? This is a good example of bad journalism.
Now to comment on the video. Was the female just walking around in the desert which is open to the public? We do not know all of the circumstances. She certainly isn't a role model judging by her demeanor and attitude. And we do learn she has a checkered past involving weapons which she even admits to. She is 32/33 years old but has the attitude of a 16 year old. She needs to grow up and show some respect to the law. Start acting like an adult!
@Concerned4All How exactly
@Concerned4All
How exactly was she disrespectful or not a role model? Ok, sure, she called him some names after he left and before he approached but that hardly makes her a bad person. She was polite with both her words and her demeanor when she interacted with him.
She has a 4th Amendment right not be searched without probable cause, so she had the right not to consent to a search. I couldn't tell if he searched her pockets or just didn't search her at all, but he clearly did not do a thorough search. My guess was he agreed he did not have probable cause.
