I’ve had 3 search warrants executed against me. Never once have they knocked and given me an opportunity to see the warrant. LVMPD likes to do the whole no knock, blow the door off the hinges and break all the windows bullshit. The first time I watched them fill the warrant out at my kitchen table and actually write the serial numbers to guns they found on the front page, stating that they were looking for said guns when there was no way they could have known the serial numbers beforehand. The guns were in locations that were beyond the scope of the search as they were supposedly looking for a stolen vehicle and the guns were in a safe in my bedroom closet.
The police are more corrupt than the criminals they’re supposed to protect the public from.
Lawyer should have been able to help you with that
@@user-hm2eh2gm7o he did.
OF COURSE police are corrupt but these in the video are TOTALLY RIGHT! How can that be, you ask? THE MAN MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF THE GET AWAY DRIVER IN AN ASSAULT & PROPERTY DAMAGE AND THEREFORE MUST IDENTIFY HIMSELF & REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO. SO This man ATTEMPTED to escape arrest by TRYING to enter A HOUSE DID NOT LIVE IN & HE ADMITTED THAT ON CAMERA that he did NOT LIVE in the house he was trying to enter. The man matched the description of the driver of the get away car of the crime the police were investigating at the house NEXT DOOR to the one this man was in the back yard of. SO, BECAUSE The cops were legitimately investigating an assault & property damage crime of over $5,000 AND THE victim gave the neighboring address as the address where SHE believed the driver of the car lived & that man may have lived in the neighboring house to this one brought the assailants to the victims HOME AND the cops went around the side of the NEIGHBORING house AT WHICH THE cops were legally at & from where the cops looked onto the backyard of the house WHICH HAD NO FENCE AND where this man was in the back AND THE COPS SPIED WITH THEIR OWN EYES the color of car the victim repoerted AND THAT CAR HAD THE SAME LICENSE PLATES ON IT because THE VICTIM TOOK THE AUTO LICENSE PLATE INFO DOWN AND REPORTED TO the police AND THE POLICE VERIFIED THAT the license plates on the car in the back of the house that the man admitted he DID NOT LIVE IN AND THE MAN MATCHED the description of the driver of the get away car, HE MUST IDENTIFY HIMSELF.

@@MISTER-G-2u bro, put the pipe down. What video did you watch?
@@MISTER-G-2u You are commenting on the wrong video. Nothing what you are discussing is in this video.
"Anything you say CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU" and will never be used for you in court. Better to shut your mouth and call a lawyer.
Isn't that the truth.
Any evidence that points to your innocence or paints you in a positive light for some reason is deemed "irrelevant " to the case.
It's not to the case, just doesn't contribute to your conviction
Can, and WILL ONLY BE USED AGAINST YOU, cuz suppression of evidence indicating innocence seems to not matter to the judges.....as if they own us.
lawyers are the cancer of this country.
Law is for lawyers, not for you /\/\oron
Actually nothing you say can be represented by the cop to help you in court by law.
Actually the funny thing is if a police officer TRIES to help you out and testify in your defense about something you said the prosecutor will object and get it thrown out in many places situationally speaking. If you tell a story and it makes you look guilty that's evidence, if it makes you look innocent it's hearsay...
The Sheriff's went to a friend's house looking for someone who was wanted. They asked him to step outside. They arrested him for drunk in public. They basically told him to tell them where the wanted guy was, and they would let him go. He didn't know, so they arrested him. Said they were also charging him with obstruction. They bashed his head into the roof of the car and put the handcuffs on so right that his wrists were bruised for several days. They also searched his house without consent. Of course, all the charges were dropped. Point is, he could've avoided all of this by not opening the door.
Exactly. Your friend cleared his name but those cops didn’t suffer a single thing for their actions.
Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit, was it within the last 2 years?
Cops are thugs with a badge and gun.
@jonahtaivalkoski322 no, in the 90s. He tried, but it was damn near impossible to find a lawyer to go up against Placer County. They broke a guy's back once detaining him so they could arrest his adult son. He got an attorney to take the case. Told him only if they all stayed out of trouble. SIU scoped his son's apartment for a week. Finally, someone in probation went inside. SIU went in with guns out. Heard they were roughly prodding people with the barrels of long guns. They searched the common areas and found a little baggy of meth. The attorney dropped them as clients
They could break it down. Here in Houston they don't give two fucks about your rights I seen breaking peoples door with out probably cause.
When the police want to talk to you:
1. Shut up.
2. Keep shutting up.
3. Shut up some more.
- Eddie Craig
I don't say a word if I'm pulled over. I was pulled over one night for a burned out headlight, but I hadn't noticed. I knew I wasn't speeding, I religiously obey speed limits, and it took him some time to get around to telling me why he pulled me over. I just waited.
But also request a canine attorney
There are three rules to dealing with cops:
1. Cops lie.
2. Cops lie.
3. Cops lie.
We need laws that prevent cops from lying to people. Their ability to lie creates the whole us vs them crap. We need honesty from public servants.
"innocence proves nothing" - Police
This is the best proof of truth of ACAB meaning.
Innocence means nothing.
Always known we were living in the Imperium. It all makes sense.
In the US you are guilty until you can afford to prove your innocence. The more money you have the less guilty you are.
That hits the nail on the head. Normally if the police is at your door to arrest you 99% of the times you most likely deserve persecution and messed something up badly. Education on silence, and keep police out is in vain. If you deserve it they're going to take you. If you have the cash you'll be out so no worries.
Amen brother
The less black you are the less guilty you are.
Also, ya need to vote for the right party.
@@oledennis6918 There have been many parties but obviously there's isn't much difference no matter who you vote for. People complained a lot against Trump, now Biden is the bad guy, no one can please everyone. Actually it's a fact that the county isn't in a better position than it was under Trump. I don't even bother voting.
Never open the door for cops. Never answer their questions. They are trying to harm you.
Or simply ask you a question of a neighbor, or tell you something important. People are paranoid here :) I'm a painter, I worked at a home and 2 officers came to the door, I though maybe I parked wrong or something. They just wanted to ask the owner who mows lawns in that area, because a company dumped grass in a forest nearby and one of the homeowners in the area reported it. You never know why the police comes to the door so to ignore them makes no sense. Don't do stupid things and you'll sleep well, and police won't harm you.
@@kutykutyka Nah. Hard pass. Still not answering the door.
@@kutykutyka Wait until it happens to you.
@@jb8801 I'm 47 and never even got close to a bad interaction with police or people. I show respect to all people in general and don't commit crimes. Not a long list of things to do to avoid getting harassed by people or the police.
@@kutykutyka Im sorry to say you are wrong. But ok, you go on and believe what you want. One day it will happen to you or a loved one. They love hurting innocent people. They don't fight back much.
I always told my kids " If you're guilty you really want a lawyer, If you're innocent you really NEED a lawyer".
Minimizing contact with the cops minimizes the need for an attorney. Doesn't guarantee you won't need one, but it helps.
No primary comment allowed here. His Goodfellas example is useless. Difference between disposing of drugs already in house for awhile ( as in Goodfellas) and chasing suspect with drugs ON him. But cops can always lie and claim on him.
@@bgold2007 This may come as a shock to you, but "TV law" is very different that "ACTUAL, IN LIFE law!"
Wise words.
Good advice
I was 12 years old and my
Brother accidentally died. The police stormed our property and home as I was the oldest at home. No warrant, just swarmed everywhere, even driving over our garden.
They stood in my home and told me to make dinner for my siblings. I began to make franks and beans and they chastised me for not making healthier food (try getting children under 6 to eat “healthy” food).
At this time, I didn’t know my brother was dead so it was, truly, a nightmare.
They tried to accuse my parents of abuse when, in reality, we were the Mormon version of the Cleavers. My mother was canning in the kitchen and my father, who worked 2 jobs, was taking a nap. My brother was simply playing and hurt himself. It broke my parents.
I will NEVER like or trust cops again!!!
I am so sorry you had to experience that! Your poor parents also, your entire family was traumatized in ways no one can even know. I hope you were blessed to overcome the trauma of losing a brother and idiot police officers, unbelievable! What town was this in if you don’t mind sharing. I’ve been traumatized in little old centerville.
@@Hayilkasdorf Reno, Nevada. It’s more like Russia when you have to fear the police 😕
@@DMills-un1tl Police were so horrific under the tsar that the Communists literally had to change the word for "police" after the revolution
@@DMills-un1tl I'm not defending the cops at all, I know how bad many of them can be, but my parents forced my brother and I to eat healthy foods. My parents were you'll eat what is in the house types.
THE COPS SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON PR BECAUSE THEY DO STUFF THAT 90% OF PEOPLE HATE THEM FOR.. EVER SEEN A COP AT A PARTY THAT WAS NOT THROWN BY ANOTHER COP, YOU WILL NOT..
As a teenager living alone with a room mate , WE both told EVERYONE who we knew that were visiting/partying "DO NOT ANSWER THE DOOR!!'We had a friend who had that happen and the police told him that as long as "ANYONE" opened the door tenant or not , that they could then enter the residence.So my roomate and I both told our friends EXPLICITY not to answer the door that they don't live their AND regardless of the police telling them thru the door " Police!, Open Up!" again " YOU " don;t live here. DO NOT OPEN THAT DOOR!
That is not true. It is GREAT practice to have, and I do the same, but it *shouldn't* hold up in court.
Best practice is to never answer the door.
One of the best videos I’ve seen is a woman absolutely ripping cops a new one through her RING microphone. They didn’t have a warrant trying to get her to open the door completely unaware she was watching through a camera. Her profanity laced tirade would make a sailor blush. The cops finally left with their tail between their legs. Love when cops say they’ll come back with a warrant . If they could get a warrant they would have done that in the first place. They couldn’t so they resorted to intimidation tactics.
How do you get them off your property they are trespassing.
@@bigprestony9836 “angry woman cusses and yells at cops over ring cam” is the name of the video. First of all don’t open your door. From there you yell like holy hell until they leave.
@@bigprestony9836she got them off her property by refusing to play their game.
She would not answer questions nor open the door, so without any legal grounds, they left.

that was enough for a local idiot judge to sign a search warrant.

brad gaumont tried to lead a witness into some hysterical nonsense he made up on the spot about me attacking the person I was performing first aid on.
but dirt on the floor = criminal.
I like how you tell us to wait for court, but poor people can't afford to go to court and they know it.
And "public defenders" just tell you to take a plea deal.

@@MISTER-G-2u Your comment has absolutely nothing to do with this comment.
Man, what a demented society to live in when you have to deliberately be afraid of your own police.
Exactly, And all courtesy of the supreme court who is supposed to be protecting the constitution and the civil rights of its citizenry.
And MSM brainwash you non-stop how "bad" people live in all over countries 😂 you are in heaven, cattle, shut up 😂😂
That is common in lower to middle income countries.
Many people have it too easy around here and it gives time to get paranoid about everything. People who work hard, make their own money and not stealing their livelihood from others usually don't have time to imagine cops breaking down their doors for zero reason. I'm sure it happens by mistake sometimes, wrong address, etc, but ask the elderly who worked their whole lives how many times they were put in jail for no reason at all. Not a huge crowd I can promise you that.
@@kutykutykaremember to come say this again, after it happens to you.
Also you can add that there is two tiers of justice I was assaulted on my own property and the cops arrested me The person that assaulted me was a dispatcher One of the cops that was on the scene that day is real close friends with the dispatcher Always remember that the cops are trained to lie and they will probably lie even under oath I'm still fighting my case almost 4 years after my arrest All this injustice has to stop
“ I like when an officer uses the phrase in my training and experience. .
Officer: “ in my training and experience the use of meth @nd other drugs are likely occurring in homes that_________insert homes condition______
Also officer in court: -why yes jury I’m glad you asked about my credentials I was trained at uc Berkely in nervous movements 101. Then I did my internship at a William and Mary’s and received top honors in noticing key indicators of a drug user there I learned about …two phones, tinted windows, out after dark, the smell of weed. (Pretty much anything to arrest that criminal)- said no cop ever but saying because of my training and experience is vague and makes a jury think they are actually extensively trained .
They never cite the training
A police officer told me that if I didn't open the door he was going to kick it down and drag my ass outside, he left later and never came back.
I was told if I didn't unlock the front door, they would go in through the back and it wasn't going to go well for my dog . I kept repeating "not without a warrant" they kept talking saying they going to shoot my dog. Say goodbye . I knew it was illegal what they were doing, but they really were going to shoot my dog . MFers. They then said they had a warrant, just called an woke up a judge (no I was not shown anything regardless of asking repeatedly! If I wanted my dog to stay alive, I'd leave. I couldn't even stand in my driveway forced to leave for 8hrs. (My house is a little over 900 square feet, yet 8hrs. Then when I did get to go in, they had gathered up and left me a surprise on my bed..... Couple pairs of my underwater (clean and dirty), a sextoy, a porn cd, feminine higene products, and everything they could gather to humiliate me. They did not however find anything they said I had! Big waste of time . Just wrong! Ripped my whole place apart for Nada! Just like civil asset forfeiture, they know there's not a whole lot you can do without having a lawyer in your family! Total BS
Don't open door, tell them to leave or pretend you can't hear or see them knocking! Even if it's plain as day through a window. "Go away".
@@10thstjeep In many cases, the cops WILL "find" something...you're LUCKY.
@@selfdo Right. What I don't understand is why they would go through all that trouble, *with her clearly out of sight and out of the way,* and not plant something to make it all worthwhile for them.
Several years ago, Dallas police knocked on my door looking for someone ( I don't recall who, unknown to me) they had an arrest warrant. They showed me the warrant. I immediately noticed they had the wrong apartment. I told them if they wanted to execute that warrant they needed to go to the actual address on the warrant and pointed to the apt number on my door.
Cops do not tend to be the sharpest pencil in the box. They didn't qualify for the Postal Service, so picked being an enforcer instead.
Sounds like resisting arrest to me.
You’re very lucky. Don’t ever open the door.
So we know how Amber Guyger entered the wrong apartment.
@@jasondyrkacz8270 actually I commented on that when it came up on a police round table discussion (and I realized just how quickly they are trained to escalate if they see any challenge to their "control" of the situation).
She had just worked a double shift. I have done that in air traffic. There are all kinds of rules, including that is only for continuity of services, you have to get at least 8 hours off between the shifts, yada yada yada.
IMHO If she'd had a good lawyer it would have all boiled down too was it a required double shift, or voluntary one. If it's required then she had no choice, and the extreme fatigue leading to her going to the wrong door was not due to any negligence on her part. Of course this means that the agency working people on doubles to the point they are not safe, has all the legal liability.
If she voluntarily worked the double shift, then there is a very strong argument to be made she chose to put herself in a situation where fatigue could cloud her judgment, i.e. negligence. I was very underwhelmed with her case and it's handling by all concerned. My heart goes out to the family of the young man she shot.
An intercom, rare (without a Ring Camera), is a good thing for homes and apartments that have one. You can talk to them, keeping your door shut, via the intercom. I would ask them the purpose of their presence, and if they have a warrant. Confirming no warrant, and being informed of an allegation made against me, I would inform them I'm not stepping out or opening the door, and I am invoking 5A, won't be answering their questions. Then, I'll shut off the intercom, and go back to watching TV.
An intercom and/or a Ring camera or similar is simply good security, cops or not. And how many home invaders have used the line, "Police! Open up!".
If the police say they have a search warrant, tell them to check if they have the right address. Too often they dont.
Cops lie. Don’t ever ask a cop anything and expect a straight answer. Cops will never admit when they are wrong.
They won’t look and make sure - they will demand entry and if you are in some neighborhoods they will assume that you are destroying evidence and immediately on hearing your voice destroy your door … and once they realize they are at the wrong house they may even apologize as they leave your home open to the very criminals they were looking for across the street!
@@leodouskyron5671
This is why security (ring) CAMERAS are critical. You make them hold the warrant up to the camera;
When cops say "we just want to talk to you." My answer is " cool, make an appointment with my lawyer, we can talk then."
Lol do like the guy on video telling them there,s 2 of you good talk to each other then
I watch alot of these types of videos and i have to HONESTLY say that this might be one of the single best educational lifesaving pieces of advice out there. This attorney does an EXCELLENT job detailing each and every tactic/step/procedure that you might encounter and i wish more attornies were this proactive. Awesome Awesome video.
I wonder if the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department has surreptitiously put a tracker on his vehicle and/or bugged his law offices. Wouldn't surprise me!
Just how long are they allowed to bang on your door before you can call the chief of police and ask them to be removed? I went through this nonsense in a rural town about 30 years ago. The only reason I opened the door was to see what the hell they wanted and to get them off my damn property. They were fishing, that was all, but they still wanted to come in and look around and I told them they couldn't
A Supreme Court ruling (Florida v. Jardines :: 569 US 1 [2013]) says that police have the same authority as a Girl Scout to approach your home via the front path, knock promptly and wait briefly to be received, and (absent invitation to remain longer) LEAVE. They're actually prohibited from walking around the house to look in windows, etc., but MANY doughnut dumpsters do exactly that, which is an illegal search.
@@arinerm1331Yeah, I've seen videos where they keep pounding on the door for minutes on end, and hard enough to do at least cosmetic if not functional damage to the door/frame.

The Supreme Court they can knock and briefly wait for a reply and then they have to leave. Courts generally use what is commonly referred to as the girl scout rule when judging police knock and talks. What this means is if a girl scout can't do it neither can the cops.
One second. If they are on your property and you don't want to talk to them call 911 and ask if they have a warrant, and say you want them off your property if they don't.
A police officer is NOT your pal and is not looking out for you. Only your own paid lawyer is. Use him!

Hard to believe we have to take these measures here in the good ol' U. S. of A. Sixty years ago, police tactics like these were mostly used in movies intended to show what bad guys the Nazis and Communists were. Apparently, they've all moved here.
So true.
This isn't as common as many, this "attorney" included would have you believe.
When was it not like this? I mean, I know it didn't used to be like this for _everyone,_ but when was it not like this for a citizen of this country?
The issue isn't if it's common, the issue is that the police have virtually total immunity to lie, do, say, whatever they want. So _even_ if you assume the probable risk of you getting a bad apple is low, the potential damage they could cause is enormous. Basically know the laws and don't ever trust the police. They're not your friends.
Look up Operation Paperclip. That is your answer.
I bought a dog from a lady who bred GSDs. She was almost totally blind. She told us that she bred her gigantic 130-lb Schutzhund to a 90-lb police dog. When the cops brought their dog for breeding, they searched her home. She couldn't see what they were doing but could hear them going through her rooms one by one. All while one of them chatted supposedly to distract her. She was still upset about it when I met her 6 months later.
As a retired LEO , I concur with this message.
Great advice! If the police think they have the authority nothing you say will change their minds. Don’t talk at the beginning! Don’t talk in the middle! Don’t talk at the end! Explaining, answering questions, arguing ALL lead to bad end results. If the police do something they shouldn’t (entering your home) any response by you will only escalate their malfeasance.
Once you open the door it’s over.
These are scary times we live in. If the honest politician's, if any ? don't get a handle on this it will only get far worse.
Except he was wrong earlier in the video. If a cop simply follows you home you can 100% get out of the car and go in and they can’t come in.
Dont open the door, if you must talk to them at all, they can hear you through the closed and locked door.
It's such a dumb double standard that implied consent is thrown around all over the place, but you have to explicitly invoke your right to remain silent.
You are a slave, in case you haven't noticed.

@@galedavis3198not to argue but there is a problem with military doing the job that law enforcement does. Especially in this day of age we have so many people who think that there isn't corruption in the military then just hate cops because there are many of them that are corrupt. It's a broken system. We still need law enforcement. Too many people honestly complain in my opinion about US law enforcement when they don't know how other countries have it. Many other countries are way worse like Mexico and the Middle East. They are all under cartels and they harass and beat the public by not allowing them to have any rights. This is completely different in the US. I agree on the corruption being in law enforcement. But you and so many other people think that law enforcement is the only one that is corrupt. The military is also corrupt too and yet here you are being an ignorant idiot acting like the military is the answer to protecting and upholding laws. Law enforcement is more important than you think. You can argue all you want to but this is honestly ridiculous that you think it's a better world to have a federal agency (aka the US military) enforce laws instead of law enforcement. The federal government is more corrupted than the local ones and the local ones have every right to defend themselves from the Federal Government.
@@marywallace9243 Right. The old "to protect and serve" is long gone. The oath LEOs take obligates them to uphold and enforce the Constitution, the laws of the United States, and the laws of whatever state they happen to be in.
This also explains why they can lie to you; the oath they take does not obligate them to tell the truth (which is why in court, they need to be sworn in, just like everybody else, even though technically they are considered "friends of the court").

It's sad that now we need to keep this in mind: "Don't trust the Police."
My niece (11) & nephew (almost 14) had the police come to their door while they were alone last week. It was about a delivery truck having hit a vehicle at the curb & taking off next door. They called me as they answered the door even though it could have been related to their Egg Donor or the Social Worker visits we've been getting over the Summer. (Meaning that they knew the risk of opening the door.)
The officer spoke to me as she talked to them. She thanked them so much for being willing to give witness statements & praised them for calling an adult while doing so.
From my understanding, the police didn't have any/many other witnesses and so were very grateful to our kids for answering the door.
I am from a small town & we used to be able to tell kids that the one person you could always trust was a Law Enforcement Officer. It's so sad that our kids, & we, now need to distrust them & seek for their ulterior motives: "The Police are NOT your Friends." And "They are NOT there to save you."
One other thing, there are great officers out there, but we have to lower our expectations & responses to the common denominator.
Unfortunately the police made their own bed. They brought the lack of trust upon themselves. Power to the people
Assume all cops are lying all the time, they will lie to get to arrest, lie to get you charged, then they will lie in court to get you convicted. Don’t speak to a cop even if they are a relative or a neighbor. Cops should be made a pariah and shunned in polite society

When i was younger the Sheriff's dept was looking for a wanted guy. They went to my friend's house to see if he was there. Her mom told them that he wasn't. They askee to search. She said ok. He wasn't there, but the butch looking lady deputy callee CPS because the house was messy. They came and took her and her brother away. The house wasn't even that messy. She could've saved herself a lot of trouble if she hadn't opened the door
I had two detectives come to my Highschool and talked to me in the principals office. They swore up and down they had proof I did “X” which I had not. Told me they would be back with proof which they did not cause it didn’t happen. They tried and tried to get me to admit to it. I didn’t do it so just said what ever, you can’t prove something that didn’t happen. Year later I saw one of the detectives and said I told you I didn’t do it. I graduated HS in 92 so this was a long time ago. Looking back, I’m surprised they were able to even talk to me without a parent present.
I once asked the cop who was field testing my lettuce for "0pium" which chemical the reagents were expecting to react with
She replied in a stunned, "what a dumbas" tone: _"...0pium!"_ which immediately told me that she had absolutely no concept of how the field test functioned (I mean, the lettuce part was kinda a giveaway, too)
In the early 90s me and my girlfriend were watching the 10pm news when the cops knocked on my apartment door. I wasn't expecting anyone and neither was my girlfriend. I opened the door and the cop asked if Joe Blow lived there. I said no and they said it was the last known address for this guy. I told them I'd lived there for 2 years, so their information was out of date. One of the cops, with attitude asked "is this 27XX Lehman Rd, apartment 204?" I said "no, 27XX is the next building and 204 means its on the 2nd floor and you're knocking on the door of apartment 104, a ground floor apartment." The looks of confusion on their faces was priceless. Even after that they still asked if they could come in and look around. I politely told them no and closed my door. Now, knowing what I know 30 years later, I never should have opened the door.
There were NEVER looking for "Joe Blow" at all, they just realized they misread the address or completely fucked up their BS story. They wanted in YOUR apartment, but were unwilling to just force their way in.
Can we talk?
How many of you are out there?

Great, you can talk to each other!now eff off!
My career as a LEO in Texas spanned 32 years, and I've been retired for many years, and I fully support what this man is telling us. There have always been officers who 'pushed the envelope', and thus we have Miranda, which BTW, is frequently misunderstood by both the public and by LEOs. In this day and age of politicians weaponizing federal law enforcement against their opponents and the general populace, it is indeed necessary that we know the law, the Constitution and are willing to stand our ground against illegal search and seizure. You look at what Obama did with the Patriot Act, lying with impunity to the FISA court. This set the tone to what we see today with Banana Republic political and judicial actions. May God help our once free nation!
Thanks for your response and honorable service.
Thanks for your service as a LEO. You obviously took your oath seriously.
Your comment is sadly correct in every way. I was LEO in NC for 20yrs, and there’s more officers “pushing the envelope” than not. LEO’s see their jobs as a game, and would rather earn points than to admit they made a mistake or violated a person’s rights to make an arrest and get a conviction.
A lot of great advice but the patriot act was passed under Bush. Obama upheld it but it was passed under Bush.
How many times did you stop other cops from violating peoples rights?
Probally ZERO
I always say to the question of “well, if you have nothing to hide” - I say of if I have nothing to hide, I zero reason or obligation to help you find something that does or does not exist. Remember, the police have a job, but it is not your job as a citizen to help them do their job any more than you would expect them to show up at your place of employment to help you do yours… Don’t talk to the police, talk to your lawyer.
"My PRIVACY" is what I WANT to hide, else, it's not PRIVATE anymore, is it?
When I was a teen at a small gathering, the neighbor called the cops and complained about noise. The cops just opened the door and walked in. I asked what they were doing just walking in. The one in front said the welfare of a child was at risk, and he could do whatever he wanted. They ended up beating the crap out of a 16 year old. I was so annoyed because I had told the girl that lived there to lock the door
See, they knew a child was in danger. Just didn't say it was at their hand.
Video recording of the incident?
The cops were so "concerned" about the "welfare" of that MINOR that they beat the shit out of him? That's "cop logic" for you!
Do not speak to them and start video recording and hopefully the video is being stored on the cloud. If and when they break down the door and seize your phone to erase you side of the story, you will have some evidence to use against them when they lie about what happened.
The Texas Castle Doctrine and 2A have a cure for warrantless and unlawful entry. Know what I mean?
Four officers knocked on my door to ask to see video footage from my doorbell camera. They explained it concerned something that had happened down the street. I told them that my doorbell camera is motion activated, and only captures movement up to 15 feet away. The camera also could not see beyond the porch to a house down the street since a wall blocks the view. I checked on my phone for a video for the time they asked about, and there was no video. The cops were not happy about this, but they didn’t seize my phone or pry the doorbell camera off the wall, or come back later with a warrant. However, in retrospect, it occurred to me that I should not have cooperated as they could have made any claim they liked such as that I erased footage in front of them, or that I was uncooperative. We live in a world in which the police will lie to you, and then lie about what you said.
1) I wouldn't have responded. If the cops don't have a warrant for someone's arrest or to search the premises, you're not required to answer them
2) If they persisted in knocking and it bothered you, use the mic on the doorbell camera (Ring?) to converse with the DOOR SHUT. Ask them what they wanted, and if 1) above doesn't apply...tell them to GO AWAY.
3) I wouldn't have felt the need to "splain" anything about my doorbell cam. It's none of their Gott-damned business until they get a COURT ORDER to access it.
I appreciate this so much. I was a widow of only 4 days. I’m 65. My husband died of a heart attack in the kitchen. He’d just been to his dr. The police came and wrapped up the unattended death investigation within 45 minutes. No problem. 4 days later I have 4 cops with a warrant at my door. My husband’s son ( my stepson) called the dr who signed the death certificate and fed him bullshit lies claiming “He feared for his life, he’d been sleeping at his son’s homes, etc…total nonsense, no proof, nothing verified, all lies. The doctor was so frightened he forget none of that was possible cuz my husband had been recovering from surgery and couldn’t even get to the bathroom let alone drive 30-45 miles at night then back home in the morning, then he got a bad case of Covid and was home two more months, as I waited on him hand and foot. So the dr contacts the police to rescind his signature. The suspicious death:homicide complaint was a priceless summation of what a Narcissist is capable of. It was literally lie after lie after more lies. After four days he suddenly recovered from the amnesia he and his brothers had about their make believe sleepovers by their dad and the lies that spanned 34 years of interaction. It was crazy and he is very disturbed. He tried to take over the funeral services and got weird. I just stood my ground in honoring my husband as he would have wanted and deserved. He filed that false report then led the entire family to have their own pagan celebration at a campground. Six sons, not one would be a pallbearer. I couldn’t read those reports till after the autopsy declared the cause of death was the same the dr had indicated. Sick and twisted and I told the police exactly why his sons would have done that which they noted in their report but they did not even try to verify anything that was claimed, they just believed him, then a judge signed the warrant believing the cops had proceeded with due diligence when they hadn’t. They look like idiots bcuz they are. They don’t want to file charges against the stepson for filing a false police report but I am forcing the issue. It was payback for not giving the narcissist his own way. It has been hard enough being without my best friend but I couldn’t grieve for him without the continued shit from his sons. That has ceased for me, they are going to learn lessons they should have already learned and known. 45 year old men acting like two year olds!! Unbelievable, stupid cops hoping for fame in a small town.

As soon as they go to the back of the residence, they better have a court order. Only talk through a window to the jack-booted thugs. The only thing you need to say is, "Go get a warrant and make sure that a public defender is present when we have a conversation. Until then, I have nothing to say.".
Each time I have opened my door for Police, they have walked in immediately about every time.. Now I do not open the door.
I guess a split door might make them climb over the bottom half 😅
@@MacGyver2154 I would open the door just slightly and then they would place their foot in so that I could not close the door, then they pushed the door open and walked in like it was nothing.. I just don't open or even go to the door anymore.. Ill talk to them through my ring camera..
I seem to remember a case when cops were sent to a woman’s house on a “wellness check”. She was having a mental health episode, and the officers could see her moving around behind the window curtains, so they just break in anyway. Fearing for her life, the woman had a kitchen knife in hand, so the officers shot her dead.
Yes! She hadn't called them, they wouldn't leave, she was fearful inside her own home, so she brandished a knife. Despicable use of force on elderly
lie, cheat, steal, bully, intimidate. Such wonderful and ethical people. Who would NOT love them?
I like the scene in “Mr.In-Between” When the cops came to his door after someone made accusations against him. They asked, “are you Ray?” He said, “I don’t answer questions.” They asked if they could come in. He said, “ I don’t answer questions”. They asked if he knew his accuser? “ I don’t answer questions”. Eventually they just walked away. ( it was Australia, but the cops had no recourse short of an arrest warrant.)
The simple answer is this: Answer the door. Stand in your threshold and state unequivocally, “I do not consent to your entering my home in any manner.” Then ask if they have a camera and is it recording. If not, take the 5th. If it is on, repeat that you do not consent to their entry nor any other manner of search. That way, if they pull a fast one, your attorney can subpoena the recording, and if its not to be found get you off on the basis that you were told it was recording and they deleted the recording to conceal their illegal entry.
Then ask them, “what is this concerning?” “ Do you have a Warrant? “ You can ask the cops as many questions as you like without waving your 5th amendment rights. If you genuinely have done nothing illegal or questionable, you have no idea why the cops are at your door. They may well be trying to return your stolen bicycle. Or inform you of an accident your child or spouse was involved in. Don’t live in paranoia… but then again, don’t ever forget that cops and prosecutors get raises and promotions based upon collars and convictions. They have an incentive to find a culprit, and it really doesn’t matter to many of them if it’s the right one.
One time years ago the police came banging on my door loudly about a domestic disturbance, lucky for me I was living alone at the time because they thought I was beating up a woman and said they were coming in quote "one way or another." It turned out the 5 of them were at the wrong apartment number. They came in and searched my place, ran my name etc.
I hadn't done anything, and they left after about 15 minutes. But how would things have gone if I did have my girlfriend at that time? Would they have even believed her when she tells them that nothing happened?
My dad was beaten dead by a drunk "Parkee" right in front of me when I was 12 yrs young because I brought an inner tube into the swimming pool & the lifeguard got the parkee.

They ran your name - you do know now you’re in their database with “domestic disturbance “ and any notations attached. That’s why it’s so important to protect your information. Anytime you get pulled over or your name is searched that will come up. Cops lie. You have no idea what they wrote in that database . Anytime a cop forcefully demands you do something you legally don’t have to do alarm bells should be going off in your head.
Nope. They kicked in my door and charged me for domestic even though we were asleep and she wasn't pressing charges. I never touched her. They pressed charges because they could.
One time, DSS showed up at my house, believing we had abused children. Wanting to search my house. My wife and I are in our seventies. Our youngest child was thirty-eight at the time, not living with us . No children at our house . Grandchildren living with parents in another city, not to mention there grown. Told them to find out who made a false report and arrest them. I think it went in one ear and out the other.
@@Eaglemadhatterdid you press charges?
I had someone hit my parked truck at Target then leave, but target had thier license number on video. The cops went to his house and knocked, but the guy refused to answer the door, so the cops left and the likely drunk driver got away with hit and run. I didn't bother trying to sue for a new bumper because the American rule means only the rich can afford to hire lawyers.
The smartest thing you can do if you drink and drive or just hit someone, is drive home and go to bed, ignoring the door knock. Cops will do nothing, and you save 10 grand and a DUI.
I had a welfare check called in on me once. I yelled "I'm fine" through the locked door and after spouting a useless directive, they left.
My brother did this.
They knocked.
He chose to ignore.
He didn't respond or acknowledge their presence.
They eventually went away.
It took awhile.
Never answer the door for anyone you don't know and didn't invite especially if it is law enforcement, problem solved.
Yep! I even have a legit reason for not going to the door. I could be in the shower and didn't hear them. Or in the bathroom taking care of other business that's awkward to interrupt.....
@@ralphm6901 no need for reasons. Just don't open the door.

For me, there's about 40 feet and 2 closed doors between me and the doorbell when I'm taking a shower. There's no way I could hear it.
Call the cop's PD and tell them there's a prowler at your front door. This always throws them for a loop. Beyond that NEVER converse with cops. Answer NO questions! No warrant? Tell them to kick rocks.
... prowlers snooping at your Neighbor's door
By saying your door, they will get to know you're home and stick around for sure
@@ricardobocus6304 could also be argued for a misuse of 911
I've seen too many doorbell cam videos of people impersonating officers. I probably wouldn't answer the door, on the off chance it could be a burglar. And if they don't leave, yeah, I'm probably calling in any suspicious circumstances.
Cops would definitely just use that as their reason to arrest you, for misusing 911. I’ve seen a cop worn camera footage where they did this to the woman they were harassing that called 911 on them.
You are not very smart.
In my teens in the late 70s , my sister who was 14 answered the door to the police and she allowed them in under the premise that they needed to go to a land line, so as one of them walked through the house looking around the female cop stood at my bedroom door while i was in bed naked telling me to stay there , fortunately nothing came up, but when my parents got home and found out , they contacted their lawyer and visited the police to raise hell. With no adult present they have no right to enter and are required to have CPS present with a warrant
I have a satellite dish sized wasps nest at metal gate door, i had a cop ring the bell and inquire whether I was dead, i said that I was alive. He saw the wasps nest and retreated while saying have a good day. He didn't ask for identification and left before he got swarmed 😅.
I tame the wasp nests on my property every year. I don't bother them, and they don't bother me. They're pest predators. Like me 💀
Doorbell cam is great for this situation. You can speak with them and tell them you wish to exercise your right to remain silent.
First 2 questions I ask if this happens, before I open the door, and has happened, are #1) Do you have a warrant for arrest? #2.) Do you have a search warrant? If they answer no, and say "We would just like to talk to you." The answer is "I'm sorry but no. I am taking my 5th Amendment right to remain silent." Walk away and go back to what I was doing. Most of the time, since I live alone, is on the computer playing games. I have noise deadening headphones, so they can knock and ring the bell all they want, I won't be answering it. They cannot get onto the front porch because the screen door has a automatic deadbolt and requires a key from the outside, as well as an extra security feature. I had them pay a visit about a neighbor 2 houses down who had his catalytic converters stolen on his Jeep and truck. Since they weren't there for me, and had no search warrant, I declined to talk to them, and let them stand there in the rain.
Keep that 5th up when your converters get stolen. Maybe then the cops will come and be like "Oh, I remember. You didnt want to talk before. Enjoy your music." But they wont do that though.

You always make a topic crystal clear. Unlike other RUclips law firm channels & websites that leave me with many unanswered questions. Additionally, you give me answers to questions I had not even considered. Thank you, Mr Hampton !!!!
If you have a front and rear door with a screen door attached to the doorframe, see if you can have the screen door replaced with one of those heavy security screen doors that comes equipped with a deadbolt lock. If the security screen door does come with a deadbolt lock, then make sure that the screen door is locked at all times when everyone is home. Talking with the police won't be an issue then.
Another thing to consider is to fence in your property as well as have heavy duty gates installed at the driveways. Have an electric fence installed as well. If you block access to your yard from the street, cops cannot come onto your property without some good reasons or a warrant. If posted enough, cops won't climb over an electric fence or gate.
If you ignore the cops knocking on the door, some cops will kick in the door. They will claim exigent circumstances.
Cop:”I knew he was in the home, but wasn’t responding to my verbal calls. I felt he may have been in need of medical assistance.”
And he kicks the door in to “help” you…
Also, never talk to a cop. Only ever say “I want my lawyer”
You can say that. It sounds good. But it only helps if you are wealthy and have an attorney to call " my lawyer". If you are like the majority of people you don't have one of those toys.
@@jaxonboys3366 even if you are broke, you are entitled to a public defender… even if you are unlucky enough to draw a Dan Fielding as you public defender, you can still get one and you can tell the cop to piss off until you have had time to consult your attorney.

@@mbburry4759 you are entitled to have an attorney present during any questioning by the police. Including being stopped on the street. Or having an officer knock on your door.
@Hampton Law: My standard answer is "am I being detained or am I free to go?", you are being detained. "what is your articulable suspicion of a crime I've commited?". Followed by, "I don't consent to a search of my person or property, I want my lawyer present before answering any questions, and I invoke my right to remain silent.".
My reason for not cooperating is the existence of the many Innocence Projects in the states. These dedicated attorneys visit prisons and identify cases of possible mis-convictions of innocent people. Old ladies sitting on juries will normally believe the nice young police officer who is good and kind and would never tell a lie. They forget that the police are in cahoots and work with the prosecutor to convict the defendant.
When the Innocence Project proves that there was a failure of justice, the judge and the police will NEVER admit that they screwed up, forcing the Innocence Project to apply for a pardon. With a pardon, the subject is freed, however will forever have a conviction on their record and will never be compensated for the miscarriage of justice.
And it all starts with that nice young police officer at the front door.
Lol no that’s not true because I had an officer do this looking for a friend of mine and my girlfriend answered the door, they did that and I told the cop sorry I didn’t hear her tell you you can come in, so they tried to ask her real aggressively can I come in, she said no and then they start trying to threaten me like I was gonna go to jail for telling them to get out of my girlfriend’s house. They didn’t have a warrant or nothing. The one huge cop got so butt hurt, it was a smaller one that was actually Maintaining a professional ethic and didn’t get combative with me.
You got lucky. 9 times out of ten you'd end up beaten up and arrested. Charged with interfering, resisting, and having to defend yourself in court. You dodged a bullet. Many times innocent civilians weren't able to dodge a bullet and ended up murdered by police.
I know I got lucky but these were also small town cops who act like finding a 1/8 of bud is like finding an oz of blow, they weren’t city cops. Plus the minute I heard them come in and pulled my phone out started recording but I sent it up to as soon as I hit send I would’ve went to my email so even if they took my phone I still would’ve had the evidence.
It's probably a strategy that one of them is an ass so that the other one seems reasonable

You'd be safer opening the door for Freddy, Jason, & Michael Myers. Stand a better chance of surviving
Those three are honest about their intentions. The police are not.
It's a simple rule: Never open your door to strangers, including law enforcement.
What we have learned is law makers lawyers and judges have given the thin blue crime wave complete and total authority and amnesty to mostly do what they want. Then require you to spend every dime you have made and will make paying legal fees to MAYBE not go to jail.
My experience based on decades of criminal defense is that: assume that cops ALWAYS lie. So do clients, of course.
Officer showed up to my house at 10:30pm at night. I spoke through my Vivint doorbell camera. He kept trying to get me to come outside, "so we can talk". I told him, we ARE talking.
The cops have more control if you come outside.
Locked exterior storm-door in-front of the residence's exterior door will prevent a lot of the "breach" options and also lesson the chance of a home invasion. By locked, I mean get an exterior storm door that has at least a 1" deadbolt - not that expensive considering the alternatives and most big-box hardware stores carry "pre-hung" versions that you can basically just mount to the existing door-frame in 30 to 60min from unbox to final screw in the last hole.
- Better yet, have an enclosed porch with its own set of exterior doors, both locked, and the door to the main residence is locked when you're not using the porch.
If anyone breaks into your house to harm you, you defend yourself. It's your God given right
This is why I have Ring doorbell cameras on front and back doors. I can see and talk to whoever it is without having to open the door. They also record any movement and store it in the cloud. If I go live that's also stored in the cloud. Screen doors are always locked when home and not wimpy screen doors either. No warrant? You"re not coming in and I'm not coming out.
Ring shares your video footage with police with or without your consent. Keep in mind
And this is one of many reasons why my property has a perimeter wall with a call box at the gate.
Don't let a cop trick you into thinking that you only have a right to remain silent after they, the cops, tell you you have the right to remain silent. When cops tell an arrested suspect they have a right to remain silent they are merely *REMINDING* the person that they *STILL* have their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Verbally invoke that right so as to deny a cop the ability to claim ignorance and so keep their qualified immunity. Verbally invoking the Fifth also denies cops the ability to ignore it and use your silence as a sign of guilt, something judges allow if the right wasn't verbally invoked. 😉
The right to STFU and remain that way exists ALWAYS. Not necessarily the ABILITY nor DESIRE.
Two no trespassing signs on my 250 foot driveway to my secluded house. Seven cameras on my property also have a ring doorbell. I never answered the door for someone I don’t know.
On the last point, this happened to my uncle. A small town Sheriff illegally forced his way into my uncles house. My uncle is a former cop, knows his rights and shot the over zealous Sherrif. Now my uncle is in prison for the rest of his life. Really sucks that two men lost everything that day. If the Sherrif would've have escalated everything right away he would probably be alive today and my uncle wouldn't be in prison.
When I was a cop I always tried to put my foot in the door threshold when I made contact unless it was going to be a ‘pleasant contact’.
Also, if I asked to stand inside myself or another officer would peer in to other rooms from the living room for officer safety. Do not allow them inside the house. As a cop we could articulate anything as Officer Safety, a dog in the house making noise, a TV on in another room.
Now fast forward, I am retired and have a problem with the pitbull next door charging onto my property, jumping the fence at the sidewalk and charging people. After my 2nd City Council meeting the Chief sent an officer to my home because I embarrassed the department. When the officer knocked on the door, the officer snapped at me when I answered the door because I was holding my cell phone as I had been texting someone. The cop snapped, you’re not videotaping me are you? I responded, do you see my ring doorbell and all the cameras in the window I use to capture the pit in my yard. The officer told me he was a Constitutional expert. 24+ videos of the pit on my property, almost making inside my house, and zero citations for a loose leash violation because it MUST be witnessed by an officer. He told me someone has to be bitten before anything can be done. The police treat me worse than the pitbull owner, because I embarrass them at City Council. I go there to leave a paper trail in case anyone is bitten, to prove their inaction.
An aside- I had taken a third letter to the police department with videos on a USB showing the dog charge and bite another dog after jumping the fence, and also the mailman. The Watch Commander refused my letter and said it was a Neighbor Dispute and to seek a restrain order. I guess being upset the dog has bitten dogs, charged people, tried to attack my pets on my property makes me a mural combatant 🙄
This is an excellent video. Never talk to the cops. They can absolutely lie to you and you and you always have to except that they will. The key is everything you say will be used against you but nothing you say may be used for you. If even your body language can be used against you, there is absolutely no reason to ever open the door
this video is a graphic example of how much of a police state the US has become.
Yes. And it's a shame. I feel less threatened by police in Mexico. That's how disgusting law enforcement has become in the USA.
My dad was beaten dead by a drunk "Parkee" right in front of me when I was 12 yrs young because I brought an inner tube into the swimming pool & the lifeguard got the parkee. So, I have good reason NOT to trust the police. BUT THIS ASSHOLE criminal man ADMITTED on Door bell cam AND on 2 or 3 police body cams the house he was trying to enter IS NOT HIS HOUSE.!!!

My best friend is a retired judge, do how many times the police would falsely make claims to get the judge to sign a warrant ? Quite a few….
That's why it's important when you build a porch, a deck or a patio outside of your door, you MAKE it a STEP lower than your door frame. That way, the people on the outside have to step UP to get into your house.
It’s tricky when you are a law abiding person and a cop knocks on your door. They might be coming to let you know someone has died or been in an accident. Or maybe that a murder suspect was seen jumping into your yard. Or they might be looking for a prior resident. I’ve experienced all of these things, and I’m glad I answered the door. But I like the idea of leaving the chain on until their purpose becomes clear.
What a useful, helpful and practical bit of information, thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!

This information should be taught in high school, same with Mortgages and the banking system, 12 years of school we should not have to go to college to learn this , I've learn more off the internet than i did in my 12 years in school
We should restore Civics as a subject in school, teaching the history of the Constitution and citizen rights, including what to do when the cops come.
Heck yeah I know what you mean. And I went to school back in the 80s and early 90s
The last thing the powers-that-be want is the little smart-asses actually BELIEVING the Constitution means something.

I'm totally law abiding, once a State Police Officer knocked on my door. They asked who I was. I had nothing to hide so I cooperated. Then is got weird. Long story short they were looking for someone who lived in my apartment 5 years earlier. They wanted to search and verify they weren't there. I didn't like the vibe so I told them no (plus my place was a mess lol). I stated no again, told them wait outside and see if anyone leaves or come back with a search warrant. I turned around and started walking inside and they followed me to the door. I quickly closed the storm door and said I'm not talking to you anymore. They said I was acting guilty. So I reiterated what I said before. The next week I was pulled over 3 times. True story then I got a lawyer. He made a call and everything stopped but it cost me $450. This was in 2000. The lawyer informed the reason why they were looking there. I was the 3rd tennant prior to the person they were looking for who lived prior. I used to be one of these "blue lives types" way before it was a thing. Now I know police lie all the time! Best advice from the lawer was if the police come knocking it's never for a good reason. I wish we could live in a world where you could TRUST THE POLICE.
I once had the local jackal deputies ring my doorbell. I was fast asleep, and i hadn't noticed they were there until after I awakened in the morning. They were in pursuit of a fugitive who had escaped their custody. Im glad I hadn't answered the doorbell.
So if officers break into my house without a warrant or exigent circumstances, start's ransacking my house, bombard me with questions, and probably double down my arresting me on something, I am just supposed to say I don't consent to a search and stand there like a lemming.
here is my problem with the process of fighting in the courtroom. Court is extremely expensive, takes years even for the most straight forward cases involving officers, and officers really seem insulated from consequences this way. Not to mention the chance you might start getting harassed by officers over the court case.
Well yes but it's better than them beating and or killing you. Which they wii also do and also get away with. Are you really going to get any justice any other way?
Always verbalise:
"You do not have permission to enter this property."
Or
"You don't have permission to be on this land, there is no implied consent."
Most enjoyable reading is cops obituaries.
Yep we never shed a tear. Bone dry always
Yep as a child i was brought up to believe the police are there to protect us, not to harass or trick us! Thank you for this advice--im sharing it with my daughters!
Don't even open the door:
"Do you have a warrant?"
[if no]: "Please leave."
do not answer the door. do not talk to them. My ex was a coke dealer, lol, so, not everything she did was sane, but eventually, she would sober up. Yet, I've been arrested for resisting arrest by "walking away". And people start testifying, that you said something, that was never said, but they only need two witnesses, then they claim it's a fact.
Video it
Yep always record the cops then use it against them later. Relying on their body cam is not ideal. Have your own.
@@Phillip-cw9xn I believed because the cop caller was a coke dealer, that clearly talking reasonably would send them on their way. Nope. They are there to harrass you. I let them in the house, then they would not leave. They became the abusers tool, to continue their abuse. When I tried to turn the table on the gang that tried to have my house swatted, the police denied ever being there. But, I did eventually talk to a prosecutor, whom told me to ignore it, and they will not get the satisfaction. He was right. The first time, I walked away, and was arrested for "resisting", and disorderly conduct (for telling them to leave). When they refused to leave, I walked away. Nothing was recorded. I fought the first event at the cost of $20,000, and somewhat won, however, there is no winning, and financially, I would have been better off taking their first offer of just paying a few hundred dollars. And the things they said I did, never happened. I was not screaming, I was not using the f word, I was not tumultuous. But when two people say it happened, it happened, and it's weird to see people before court, exchanging notes so they can tell the same story. And the truth is lost.
Can we cover curtilage properly rights? This is another option that can nullify “plain view doctrine” as the officers are trespassing.
Great point.
The police are NOT TRESPASSING. Here is why: They were next door legally investigating an assault & a property damage of $5,000 AND THIS STUPID MAN MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION OF THE DRIVER OF THE GET AWAY CAR Here is your "curtilage rights": This criminal man was NOT at HIS HOUSE NOR ON HIS PROPERTY SO, He has NO "curtilage rights". HOWEVER, IF the police have a valid reason to be investigating a crime the the house NEXT DOOR OR IN THE REAR of YOUR house AND THEY CAN PLAINLY SEE ONTO YOUR PROPERTY AND ON YOUR PROPERTY is a man MATCHING the description of the perpetrator of a crime AND THE VEHICLE USED IN THE COMMISSION OF THAT CRIME SEEMS to be the vehicle used in the commission of that crime, the police CAN LEGALLY DETAIN THIS MAN. The man just has to have to have some matches to the criminal description given by the victim of the crime to the police. IN THIS CASE, THE CAR MATCHES THE COLOR AND the license plates AND TAGS match the identity of the get away vehicle reported by the victim. Here is more: That is NOT the case here. My dad was beaten dead by a drunk "Parkee" right in front of me when I was 12 yrs young because I brought an inner tube into the swimming pool & the lifeguard got the parkee. So, I have good reason NOT to trust the police. BUT THIS ASSHOLE criminal man ADMITTED on Door bell cam AND on 2 or 3 police body cams the house he was trying to enter IS NOT HIS HOUSE.!!! You do NOT HAVE the protection of YOUR inside & curtilage HOUSE PROPERTY RIGHTS IF IT IS NOT YOUR HOUSE. !!! OF COURSE police are corrupt but these in the video are TOTALLY RIGHT! How can that be, you ask? THE MAN MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF THE GET AWAY DRIVER IN AN ASSAULT & PROPERTY DAMAGE AND THEREFORE MUST IDENTIFY HIMSELF & REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO.

I have miniblinds on all windows they could possibly peek into. Even if they try a drone at the upstairs windows. There's no way "plain view" would work here.
@@ralphm6901
Drones with 5g technology can see inside your home, not just by detecting heat or movement. Only thing that stops that is lead paint. I don't know how many LE agencies have this tech but it is coming..
@@tanucci733 do you have an actual credible source for that?? Because it sounds like bullshit. 5G is wireless technology for phones. It's not radar or any or any kind of remote detection. It could maybe triangulate a phone in your house, but not anything else. Lead paint has been banned for many years, only very old houses would have it. Someone who was concerned about remote detection could construct a Faraday Cage to block all electronic signals, including 5G, and that just needs copper or aluminum foil.
Is there a down side to repeating the phrase that you are exercising your right to remain silent; as in if the officer keeps trying to get you to talk, and after several minutes you politely repeat the phrase?
Say it once, and if they continue to question you immediately invoke the 6th amendment. They are legally required to cease all questioning at that point. You shouldn't have to keep invoking your rights over and over. Just make sure to actually remain silent unless invoking your rights.
It is a tactic to frustrate and confuse you.
When you tell them you are exercizing your right to remain silent and they keep asking questions and you Keep answering those questions by stating the same thing (like "I don't answer questions") they know you are not confident in your rights because you keep answering their questions. Doesn't matter what your response is, You still answered questions.
If you invoke your right to remain silent, Remain silent.
I had pd show up to my apartment in the middle of the night for a noise complaint. I was sleeping asked them through the door do they have a WARRANT they said no , I SAID TO THEM HAVE A GOOD NIGHT OFFICERS
REMEMBER THE AVERAGE COP WAS A C STUDENT IN HIGH SCHOOL, UNLESS HE WAS AN MP BEFORE HE WAS A CIVILIAN COP, THEN HE MIGHT HAVE A GED WITH ALL C MINUS GRADES.
A situation four years ago they violated every constitutional right I could have as I explain to them through the door do you have a warrant they stated no well I know you don’t got probable cough they were trying to look in the house and I’m a prepper they couldn’t see in the house so they had no excuse to claim that probable cause still in all they came in and had I wanted to stop them you know what I mean I’ve been able to I made the right decision I played the game until I got in a better situation but who in the hell do these people think they are acting like that. They’re no longer police officers their thugs in a big gang.
I don't talk to them at all. Even a traffic stop,they get I'd and insurance. I don't answer their bull crap questions.
Wow you are such a bad ass.
@@stompythewonderlizard286 not sure where you got that idea. I'm just not stupid.
Unless they say they have a warrant....I'm not even opening the door. Opening the door allows them to stick their foot in to prevent you from closing the door....no thanks....go see if you can find a judge.
Cops lie.
They'd better be wearing steel-toed shoes, became that front door's GONNA shut, one way or the other.
In the state of Washington, there is State v. Thompson, (2004) 151 Wn. 2d. 793, 92 P. 3d. 228. In the case of a civil warrant, such as for child support contempt proceedings or for failure to appear for supplemental proceedings, the police are not authorized to break into your house. They are not allowed to go through a locked door to execute such warrant. But if they catch up to you while driving your car or walking around outside, they haul you off to the county jail and then you and any lawyers you can afford are free to deal with it in court.
So keep the door shut and locked, and stay away from windows and keep your mouth shut.
I've had cops knock for hours yelling through the windows that if I don't answer the door they'll break down the door and shoot my dogs. Over music being to loud that was turned down the second police showed up.
I wouldn't open because they forced their way in the last time I answered the door. They said the smelt weed, searched me and my home finding nothing. Happened 11 years ago. Wish I knew what I do now. I'd of documented every incident and would likely have lawsuits in the double digits against that department. Evansville, Wyoming.
