Cop takes money from hot dog vendor’s wallet outside football game.
Martin Flores, a Los Angeles resident and Berkeley alum, filmed and uploaded three cellphone videos of the incident to his Facebook page Saturday evening, writing, “The sadness to observe UC Berkeley Police give a hotdog vendor a ticket and his hard earned money taken away.”
Juan was the only vendor cited amid the crackdown.
Also, I’m sorry, but in what fucking universe is it legal for a cop to rob a man’s wallet? Where’s the proof that the man had zero dollars before arriving? You can’t just take a person’s wallet and take the money out of it, that makes no goddamn sense at all. Citation, okay fine (though it was obviously racially motivated and the cop is an asshole who should be hit by a truck asap), but stealing the guy’s money? That’s total bullshit.
