Stopped more than a dozen cars and an interception handcuffed people suspected of nothing at gunpoint.

They were looking for one suspected bank -- the cops said they had a reliable tip that a suspect was somewhere in that group of cars so one officer said -- made a split second decision.

To stop everybody and -- most double.

They said you need to get out your -- am and I did and I screamed I had kids and they didn't.

Put their guns down they had shields up and the guns were pointed right out us.

It was terrifying.

When cops finally nabbed a suspect in the last -- They let the other drivers go after an inconvenience that lasted roughly two hours.

Police admitted this was and unusual situation.

But we made a tough choice here.

And we arrested a very dangerous armed bankrupt but whether tactics legal the lawyers are back Arthur and Randy are here.

Bobby what did you do -- -- you handcuffed mommy why did the man handcuffed you mommy got handcuffed today old know that it's it's a tangled web.

He -- technical legal issue is.

In the United States of America you cannot act on an anonymous tip.

Right you can't sort of person did say it's this person now they're saying it was a reliable -- shepherd.

You.

Your door they didn't have a -- they had no idea who was so let's just.

Oh arrest everybody her bra -- not on the mall I don't think you can in the United States -- -- -- amazingly now it seems to be movies this is not a police state.

Again when a minute it's not supposed to -- -- good intentions.

Horrific execution.

And this case is going to get -- and these guys are going to be right back on the street.

-- -- The -- ends aren't supposed to justify the means but when you look at the ends here they find a robber with -- two guns in his possession.

To say that's not gonna play a role in a judge's decision is just naive art.
