St0rmFury 09/11/17 4:57:32 AM #1:	University of California police ‘looking into’ viral hot dog vendor video Video posted online of a UCPD officer in Berkeley who appears to ticket a hot dog vendor outside the Cal game Saturday, and go through the man’s wallet, has prompted an outpouring of support for the vendor and a backlash against the officer. UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof offered a brief statement Sunday evening: “We are aware of the incident. The officer was tasked with enforcing violations related to vending without a permit on campus. UCPD is looking into the matter.” Los Angeles resident, and UC Berkeley alum, Martin Flores posted the video online just before 5:40 p.m. Saturday. He attended the Cal game Saturday with his family, according to his posts online. In the video, Flores questions University of California Police Officer Sean Aranas about why he has to take the hot dog vendor’s money. Flores had been buying hot dogs from the vendor when police interrupted the transaction. Flores, as recorded in his video Saturday, said he was disappointed at Aranas’s actions. He told Aranas he should not be taking the vendor’s “hard-earned money.” “That’s not right,” Flores can be heard saying in the video. “We’ll take it to the judge and the judge can decide whether or not it’s right,” Aranas replies. “He doesn’t have a permit.” Many people have questioned whether Aranas legally was allowed to take the vendor’s money. Berkeleyside has asked the university for additional information. Sunday morning, the Flores video was shared on the “Woke Folks” Facebook page, which helped further spread the word about the incident. The Tennessee-based community organization was launched in June by prominent civil rights activist and writer Shaun King. A Woke Folks moderator wrote that laws related to civil forfeiture allow police officers to confiscate goods in circumstances like these. “UC Berkeley Police confronted this street vendor for selling hotdogs to football fans. He didn’t have a permit, so it’s understandable that they gave him a ticket. What doesn’t makes sense is this cop (Officer Sean Aranas) flipping through the man’s wallet and taking every dollar he has on him,” wrote the moderator. “How can Aranas get away with this? Civil forfeiture laws give cops the legal authority to rob unlucky people like Juan, who just wanted to work hard and make a living. This legalized thuggery has pretty much always existed in America, but the difference now is that we’re able to film these injustices on the spot.” ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ ++ http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/09/10/university-california-police-looking-viral-hot-dog-vendor-video-berkeley/ Land of the free. --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion.
