36:58The departmental review found the detention and arrest lawful and the excessive-force allegation unfounded.

Two men tell officers they are sitting in a parked car talking about Marvel. The encounter becomes the subject of LackLuster's most-watched new upload, "Rookie Cops Arrest Passenger For Refusing To ID", which has passed a quarter of a million views.

The review follows the passenger's repeated questions about why he must identify himself, his removal from the car and his time handcuffed in a police cruiser. LackLuster intersperses the footage with Illinois statutes and court decisions, arguing that a parking infraction and a suspicious-vehicle call did not justify the passenger's detention. The closing section presents the department's internal review, which found the arrest lawful and the excessive-force complaint unfounded.

That distinction between the channel's legal analysis and the department's conclusion gives the lengthy upload its substance. It follows the encounter beyond the takedown, through officers confirming the passenger's address across the street and eventually releasing him.

Seven uploads arrived during the week. "ALWAYS Use A Dashcam - LAWSUIT FILED" currently draws the most daily views of any individual upload, while the American Fork resignation clip and the previous week's "Cop Demands Social # - Arrested For Saying No" also carry momentum. A different entry, "A Few Videos From Iraq, 2004", connects with the creator's account of serving as an Army combat medic in Iraq.

Across LackLuster, daily views are more than double their usual level, although the subscriber total was unchanged over the week. Weekly views were close to those of nearby-sized Catching Killers. For LackLuster, the newest audience attention remains concentrated on the familiar question of what happens when someone refuses an officer's demand.
