One of my friends consented to a search of his car, and the cops found a gun under one of the seats. Under Florida law, he would have probably been fine if he had a Concealed Weapons Permit. But he didn't have that permit and so Florida law sees such a firearm as "too accessible" to somebody without a Florida CWP. So he got hung out to dry, and lost not only the gun, but also got hit with a crime which took away his 2nd Amendment rights for at least 8 years. That was under the old laws before Florida adopted Concealed Carry for everybody, so I don't know how it would be today.
I was pulled over a few days ago. When he asked if he could search my car, I told him not to put one thing of mine outside the car. He also told me that him and his wife argue about him always lying. Then he told me that he's lied all the time. Without a license plate, I drove away without a ticket. He was just hired there, and I told him to always honor his oath, and he'd remain one of the good ones!
They will empty ash trays on your seat, remove the back seat, dismantle dash boards empty coins on floor, take out spare tire....ETC.... and then leave.
How silly it is that we "civilians" need to know and remember all this stuff while the supposed "professionals" are routinely excused from not actually knowing the very law they supposedly enforce.
We're expected to know the law, but if we claim to know the law leo gaslight you and try to make you feel like a bumbling idiot who doesn't know law. It's moral dubious.
@josephpoorman9871 In any situation I'd quickly let the them know that is it my duty to know as much as I can about the laws that could affect me and my Constitutional rights. And yeah, I know cops will say "what are you? some kind of lawyer?" The fact is every single person residing in the country has a duty to themselves to have basic understanding. It's been a long long time since I've been pulled over by a cop and they would ask me where I had been and where I'm going. Ask me now and I'll tell them quickly it has nothing to do with their stop and I'm not talking except to tell them to write the ticket and let me go. I am also not the kind of person to keep a lot of crap in my car for a cop to be interested in. I do not consent to a search, write the damned ticket as I can go.
Ain’t it ironic and hypocritical that they mock you if you display any basic understanding of the most common and basic criminal statutes or traffic codes and assume you can’t possibly know or understand the law when the information is right at our fingertips and we have a genuine interest in educating ourselves to stay out of trouble while they have next to zero training on the statutes and codes and have little interest in educating themselves because they’re almost never held accountable when they don’t know a law or misinterpret it? It takes 4 years of college plus 3 years of law school to be an attorney to practice law but it only takes 6 months at most to complete the training at the academy to become a law enforcer.
I theorize the mafia corrupted the system. They couldn't beat them everywhere, in every state, so they had to bend the rules or laws, and over time, that corrupted the system, which never changed back to their own laws!!!
@jamievetter601 of course it does, but I also live in the real world. Do you have any plans of getting into politics or becoming a lobbyist to try to change things? I don’t. So until someone fixes it I want to be prepared. And I want my kids to be prepared.
@brandonbuchner1771 Going into politics can't fix supreme court rulings, and that's why I said the court is corrupt. Btw, there's nothing in the Constitution that says we can't undo their rulings. It's something they lie about.
Frankly, I prefer it. Just answer very predictable questions with specific answers. It's simple. I like simple. And it's nice that we can do it all, when you consider other countries don't have a way to legally protect themselves against their police force.
It's a dam shame.... They don't give a flying phuk what u got goin on! U cld have a dear loved one n nee, or an urgent matter at hand, where time is of the essence. U might not be able to explain or express the situation. It's very frustrating to explain y u don't have time for whats SOO important. Especially for being detained for a stupid ass traffic stop.
@StMiBllcops are predators. Ive been harassed by them and you dont know what to say a lot of times because the default is to assume good intentions by people. A predator is someone who takes advantage of those things
I’ve been pulled over in my city 8 times In the same 5 mile stretch in the last 4 years. I’ve been respectful and honest and they’ve given me 7 verbal warnings and a written warning. That being said half the time they pull me over it’s just profiling. One said my tag light was out. It was 2 pm and sunny.
Where have you been? Where are you going? Why are you nervous? Why are your eyes glassy? over a turn signal error. States are passing laws, you can't use nervousness, glassy eyes, or slight confusion. Plead the 5th loud and clear, then say nothing. If you are not breaking the law and are clean, you will have a lawsuit in a jury trial if he arrests you and pulls you out, etc., all over a simple traffic violation. He just broke about five laws, and all over a ticket and his periodnoid suspension. A lawyer can win if the ticket is the only law you broke, so don't fight back, zip your mouth, and say the 5th! facts. I tell everyone I can!
Watch his video on "welfare checks." If you don't answer, they can claim they are worried about you and have the SWAT team break in to your home with no warrant.
2nd amendment every one of them. If they come into your home and are armed, which all of them are, it's home invasion and you can blast away. Just like the guy from Oregon Illinois in Ogle county. Ban the blue line gangs and abolish qualified immunity
@BanTheCrookedBlueLine No judge would ever side with you. Unless it was a no knock warrant and they never tell you that they are cops. Once identified, you will be held responsible for any wounds or deaths.
"I'm sorry I can't comment on that." has worked for me. Cops showed me a picture of me, I wish I had said "I can't answer that." I have a lawyer now, but maybe too late. I did say "I just want to protect my Rights, because you don't seem to have any interest in that" My Grandfather was a cop, and he told "Just remember a cop is never your friend." Great video,Thanks for all that information.
If you are not being detained, then they cannot stop you from leaving. If they stop you from leaving you ARE detained. So, test that after asking. If they say you are not detained, then ask if you can leave. If they say yes, then leave. If they say no, then IMMEDIATELY exercise your right to remain silent, to refuse a search, and ask for your attorney, and fight it in court.
Goes back to what Jeff is saying, that detainment is based on the principle that a reasonable person would not feel free to leave. If an officer tells you something like “You’re not detained but I just need you to answer a few questions for me before I can let you leave,” then that’s a detainment. Invoke your right to remain silent, right to legal counsel present during all questioning, deny consent to searches, ask for the officer’s supervisor (since the officer is incapable of providing clear instructions), ask for their badge number, and remain silent while you wait for the officer to arrest you or for the supervisor to arrive and determine if you need to go free or if there’s enough probable cause for an arrest.
@RogerW9421not to mention there was a case that ruled that a stop couldn't be extended to bring out a drug dog bc a cop has to legally be working on writing you the ticket, ect...not just sitting around waiting 30 min for some dog to get there. Even if they do still bring a dog you can guarantee they will claim it alerted to something even if it didn't. They wouldn't bother going through all that trouble just to tell you it didn't alert to something. It's how they get away with then having the ability to search your car. Record everything with your phone from start to finish! There have been multiple videos I've seen of cops pulling drugs out of their uniform and throwing it into your car then walking back and claiming it was yours. The problem is most ppl are being distracted/talking to another cop and/or not recording the whole process so they get away with it.
cop: "Do you know why I stopped you?" driver: "You dont know? You seem very confused. Your speech is slured. Are you feeling ok? Have you been drinking? Your eyes look bloodshot. In fact I smell alcohol!"
In college cops busted into a party and started demanding id to bust underage drinkers. When cop asked me, I started pointing at my ears and making flapping motions with my hands. Cop thought I was deaf just made the “get out of here” motion with his hands. That was over 30 years ago, probably wouldn’t work today.
And also, a drug dog sniffing around your house is considered a search and needs a warrant, but to sniff around your car is not considered a search and no need for a warrant. How does that make any sense?
Remember Kids. In THIS Country: Law 'enforcement' officials can LIE TO U.S. with IMPUNITY and more and more of them are getting away with LYING ABOUT U.S.
When you say U.S., you mean U dot S dot? As in United States? So what you're saying is cops can lie to the United States and they can lie about the United States. Right?
@420GratefulHippie pretty much. The only time they really get in trouble is if they lie in court (commit perjury), and even then, it's up to the judge how they feel about being lied to.
Fun fact: In Sweden cops are not allowed to lie to you and furthermore its not illegal to lie to them. (it is however illegal to falsely accuse people but thats something different.)
@Berengier817 Two negatives making a positive is only true with electrical charges. Has NOTHING to do with language or life. Multiple negatives add emphasis. Chaucer wrote: "Ne never wol I be no love ne wif"
Who said you're not allowed to lie? Be honest with your lawyer and the judge. Sing them your favorite dirty limerick. Remind them whenever they do something "that's illegal for you to do without my lawyer present".
They're allowed to lie due to the corrupt System they serve permits and protects them from any consequences. But in the long run, it only breeds greater dislike and distrust from the public. Citizens are less likely to assist them when they need us. Basically they shoot themselves in the foot.
This is the most realistic and concise video on police searches that I have ever seen. One point I would like to add. If you turn your phone off, and then back on, it will require a pin or password to unlock. Biometric unlocking can only be done after the first manual unlock. So if your at the airport or otherwise about to be searched, turn your phone off. Some versions of Android (like Graphene OS) allow you to set up a security/duress pin, that when entered into the lock screen, will immediately lock down and erase the phone.
In some menu's, there's a provision that when it's off, either by the button or time out, when trying to get the screen back, it has to go through screen lock. Search the settings carefully. Worth your time!
If the cop decides to walk around the car to look for defective equipment after stopping you for speeding, isn't that prolonging the stop beyond the reason for the stop?
I'm practicing your advice and writing it down and put in my car as soon as I see I'mbeing pulled over. I'm forwarding your videos to all my friends. You need to know your rights. I just had a credit company try to sue me. I knew what to do I even had a court hearing scheduled. I just got a letter that they dismissed it without prejudice. Most people have no idea what to do and always get judgments against them.
Top 5 methods when dealing with police encounters: 1. don't talk to the police 2. don't talk to the police 3. don't talk to the police 4. don't talk to the police 5. don't talk to the police
@emiketodd I try...but my 16 year old daughter doesn't believe her dumb ol' dad. I keep telling her what her rights are and not to surrender them and she keeps acting like i'm going to get her in more trouble by the police. Hearing it from a stranger on youtube would actually be better 😂
Gotta meet those quotas. I know y'all think quotas are a myth, but how else can you justify a 500% over staffing on a job that requires 1 officer per 1000 citizens?
Back in 87 I got pulled over in an industrial park. I was just driving around the park because my girlfriend and I used to "park" there. I was missing my girlfriend who had just flown home. Suddenly, lights. Cop pulled me over wondering if I was casing the place. But once he spoke to me he could tell right away that story was legit. I was opening my centre console to get my documents out and I took a beer bottle out and explained I was taking it back to the brewery the next day because the cap was somehow melded into the glass and couldn't be opened safely. I called the brewery and explained and they said bring it in and I'll get a dozen free. Anyway, I showed it to him and he didn't say anything. Just nodded and took my documents then ran a check, came back and handed them back to me. Then I was on my way.That was a good reasonable cop. It all made sense to him. Anyway, next day I went to the brewery with my messed up bottle of beer(Oland Export) and got a free case of beer. Man, I remember that like it was five minutes ago and here it is 2026 now. Anyway, Labatt bought them, changed the recipe and I stopped buying it. Man, Oland Export was the king of beers in Nova Scotia. Life really does go by fast. Just feeling sentimental tonight. Don't mind me, I'm a retired senior. Sober 15 years now.
"Do you know why I pulled you over?" "Why's that, officer?" "I pulled you over for speeding. Do you know how fast you were going?" "How fast was that, officer?" You don't have to confirm or deny anything. Treat their question like a "Guess what?" question. Because that's what it is.
@wesstewart102 "My speed was totally reasonable under the circumstances." "Hmmmm, which circumstances?" "Well, there was this guy behind me, and he seemed to be coming after me." "What did he look like?" (Points to officer)
If it carries a badge, it lies. Police lie under oath so often that they have a name for it: testilying. Do not trust them, not even if they are family.
Arrested for resisting arrest! That's hilarious! The phrase itself says: there was no reason for the initial arrest, so the resist can't be due to that!
Very true our government, politicians,cops are the biggest LIARS,crooks,and murders, that need to be under the prison ABOLISH QUALIFIED IMMUNITY AND FIRE THEM COWARDS NOW POWER TO THE PEOPLE
Like to see a video on what it looks like when you get a warrant, how to tell it's legitimate, and how to make sure it isn't a document that looks like a warrant but isn't, such as an application for the warrants. And what to do about it.
@patchbunnyI'm aware, the goal is to inform others on steps like how to confirm it's a legitimate document and not just an administrative signature, but a legitimate judge? In what time frame? How much time does one have to examine the warrant or subpoena, all sorts of things, the details that fall through the cracks until there's an investigation that takes a person's life hours away. Prevention is key.
@sbee7158 yeah, i’m curious about all these things as well. plus, how does it work when they call a judge to get a warrant signed when the judge is unable to meet in person? a video on this stuff would be great.
Yeah, I was served a warrant with no name or address on me and my home searched with me held at gun point. They couldn’t find anything so they brought something in from their car and charged me with it. The whole system is messed up. No way to prove my side as we didn’t have cameras and such. It’s good to have lots of them all around your home and car just to protect your interests. Cops are DIRTY, CROOKED, SCOUNDRELS. NEVER TRUST ONE! Should have been thrown out of court just because of no name, no address on the warrant. Some lawyers and judges are just as bad. I know mine was. If you are poor and can’t afford an attorney you are really screwed. My children witnessed all of it and remember it. They are in their 40’s now. They have never trusted our system or a cop since. (1980’s).
Isn't there enough real crime without them playing games. One officer asked where I was going at a liscense check I said the city of my destination. He stood there with his hands on his hips thinking it over I guess. Then he said I could go. We must absolutely have police, but they must be of integrity. A policeman asked my sassy sister where she was going she replied, down this here public road ! Lol.
There's a good idea; thanks. I didn't like the video poster's suggestion to say you're refusing to answer; no matter how politely said, that seems as if it would just invite more hostile and pointed questioning.
Officers almost never answer if you are free to go. They will say all sort of things other than yes, or no. Because no punishment falls on an officer that doesn't clearly communicate the status of people they are contacting.
I did not answer questions, officer said I was uncooperative. Jokes on me, I was saying silent to protect my wife, whom was not staying silent, and pointing her finger at me (lol).
its fucked up that cops can physically assault you to unlock your phone, it should be illegal, cops have no reason other than unlocking the phone to be touching the person in that moment thus its assault. the court needs to reverse its bullshit asap.
@Saronyte It depends. It your phone is locked with either your thumb or face then no it is not illegal. The courts have ruled that those are deemed as leaving the door to your home open and they are "just looking in" and it is in plain view. This is why you need a pin or pattern lock. They cannot you to input those.
@RedtheTiger1851 the courts are wrong. It clearly violates the 4th amendment right of anyone and must result in severe punishment for all who violate this. The people will correct what the courts refuse to.
All you have to do is restart your phone. That way it will pin lock/password lock. Most phone will revert to that if restarted..... and my phone randomly makes me put my password in over certain periods of time for security purposes
How many people will REALLY have the funds to challenge any of this in court? This is all great if you have unlimited funds, but I’ve been involved in a lawsuit and the bill went up about every 5 seconds. It was astounding how expensive it was.
In California, they can't start with, "Do you know why I stopped you?" anymore. Assembly Bill 2773 prohibits police officers from starting traffic or pedestrian stops by asking, "Do you know why I stopped you?". Officers must now state the reason for the stop before asking any other questions, aiming to reduce "pretextual stops" and de-escalate interactions. But, the question is dumb, because my answer was always something along the lines of, "because you're a cop, it's in your nature" or "because you're a jerk" or "what? Do you think I can read minds?" or "who knows why you cops do anything?"
Better to avoid antagonizing them. I keep thinking of the old Seinfeld episode with Kramer pretending to be a movie theatre's automated messaging system: "Why don't you just TELL me why you stopped me, officer?"
Just say, "I'm not sure." Then they have to list a cause, and anything beyond that is outside bounds. Also, never carry anything in your car to start with.
Love your line “here is the trick..”- Every interaction I’ve ever had with police went just fine. Here is MY trick.. don’t do anything wrong! Simple.. Don’t do drugs, don’t drink and drive, don’t keep unlicensed guns, drugs or alcohol in your car or home, keep your car roadworthy, yourself and passengers wearing seatbelts, have a valid licence, registration and insurance and drive lawfully. Done! Now that didn’t take 22min to explain.
I always got nervous. Especially when one “tailed” me looking for driving violation? Criminal history? Nope. My uncle was a violent abuser. Went into army then became cop.
@kirkmorrison6131 It’s a true story. A guy was being “interviewed” by the police and he asked for a “lawyer, dog” and they continued to integrate him. The court latter ruled that because he asked for a “lawyer dog” not “a lawyer” he didn’t invoke he 5th Amendment rights.
@KhanAndMrPointyEars People say "soup to nuts" to mean "from beginning to end" or "covering everything" because it comes from old, formal multi-course dinners where soup was the first dish and nuts were the final dessert course, symbolizing the entire meal. The phrase signifies completeness, like a comprehensive service that handles all aspects of a project from start to finish, just as a full dinner covers the whole dining experience from start to finish.
When they have asked in I knew why I was getting pulled over, I always respond with "No, but I am pretty sure you are about to tell me." And then they divulge the reason for the stop. But whatever you do, don't admit to ANY on the side of the road.
I had a state patrol officer try for like five minutes to get me to admit that I was speeding after he said he got me on radar. You can't lie to them so just repeat, to my recollection I was going the speed limit and not speeding. My teenager was in the back seat, I have gun permit, maybe he got me on radar, I don't know but I got a verbal warning and left. 😅
It's hard to attract and keep normal people, they just level the cluster f_ck before it's too late and "blue line" eats them alive. Corruption runs deep it seem.
Probably your best single explanation of what to do when dealing with cops. This is the video I'll recommend to anyone who wants to know. I do have one question, though. Most of us don't have a lawyer on retainer, so when we say "I refuse to answer a question unless my lawyer is present," what do we do when the cop, who has our phone or has us in detention says "fine, get your lawyer down here." I assume they have to let us make a call, eventually, but who do we call when we know nothing about finding a lawyer?
it doesn't matter. You don't have to materialize a lawyer on the spot. The point is 1. get them to shut up 2. if they don't give your eventual lawyer ammo to use against them.
There are a lot of precedents that help protect them too. Trick is knowing all that info. Only way to get at it though is to study it or pay someone who has.
Somewhere I heard this advice: "officer, if you can you give me explicit wrote down 100% guarantee of immunity of anything I talk to you without any exception we can talk, otherwise..."
We must return to Common Law and ditch Maritime Law. These are just legalized land pirates preying on those who have a right to travel freely. They need to be public servants, not highwaymen who extract wealth from the common traveler.
"Officer, can you read the motto on the side of your car?" "To protect and serve." "Good. Now can you justify trying to arrest me for driving home? How is it protecting me? How is it serving me?"
4:36 The minute they traffic stop you, you are being detained by definition. So, you should never answer any questions. Additionally, if you think you can just start answering questions then suddenly stop whenever they ask a question you don't like, think again. They can use your silence against you to infer guilt. Salinas v. Texas, 570 U.S. 178 (2013). So just keep it simple and to every question, just say, "I don't answer questions." But remember you do have to present your paperwork (license, etc.) if driving and you must exit the vehicle immediately if asked for any reason (Pennsylvania v. Mimms). The police don't have to give you their reasons.
Plus with biometrics, it just gives google or whatever even MORE info about you. I am sure they will get it either way but at least make them work for it.
This is so a useful video for folks who are guilty of something. If you simply comply with all lawful instructions and show respect, your chances of getting a warning are significantly increased.
Read this. I avoid cops, if I can, like I would avoid a gang of thugs who were after me. Once they have you cornered, they got you by the balls, and once you're "in the system," your life is no longer your own. I am not a lawyer, and I haven't been to cop school. All this information is too overwhelming and impossible to absorb to the point where you can verbally defend yourself at a stop. So don't try. They are trained to trick you. Somewhere along the way, they will trip you up. It's what they do. I view cops as narcissists with badges, and they will do everything in their power to cause you more strife and hardship than life itself does. They can, and will. We are still under the Act of 1871, BRITISH law. BAR means "British Accreditation Registry," and is a falsified (bastardized) version of the original constitution. The justice system is an illegal and unjust group, as dangerous as junkyard dogs to the innocent. But we can't do anything about it unless you are one of the Brunson brothers. Never trust a cop, never engage with one, never look or wave at one. They can be like rabid dogs looking for a way to bite you after a wrong answer. They are essentially a necessary evil among us, so my takeaway and suggestion from this video is: Print out the last thing this lawyer tells you at the end and keep it in your glove box.
Bar is not an acronym, it's a reference to the literal bar that marks off the immediate precinct of the judge's seat, at which prisoners are stationed for arraignment, trial or sentence.
I think there's some truth to what you're saying, because the justice system is only as good as the people running it, and in certain places, corruption runs amok. But in my experience, and Im a little biased because my parents were officers, I think that the vast majority are not trying to victimize people, and don't even like enforcing certain laws they think are unjust. My parents for example, were personally against cannibals, but did not like ruining peoples lives for finding one joint in their glove compartment. Their supervisor suggested to simply use their discretion.
Voicing your intent to remain silent is required to halt an interrogation, but simply staying silent works too. The cops can keep asking though, unless you tell them no answers and you want a lawyer. The scenario where you say A did it; B helped. And then the cops say "and what about you?" If you then go silent, can the cop say "he accused others but when we asked about him, he refused to answer."? Silence is one of the mosr powerful rights. Imagine living in a country where you don't have to lie to block an intrusive government witch hunt. God bless America.
My understanding is that you can refuse to answer their questions but you're not constitutionally protected unless you invoke your fifth amendment right. Just remaining silent can leave you charged with refusing to answer question I thought. It's always nice to start this with "With all due respect officer, I'm invoking my 4,5,6th Amendment rights" then you can't speak again or your right to not incriminate yourself is no longer in force.
@melissasmess2773 interesting... so you say there's a legal obligation to respond to a cop? Cop asks if you murdered a thousand people and you're legally obligated to voice a refusal to answer?
If you invoke your right to remain silent, and then answer a question, do you have to re-invoke your right to remain silent? I seen a video where someone invoked their right to remain silent, and the cop asked if they were wearing their corrective lenses and they didn’t answer, remaining silent. So the cop ticketed them for not wearing their lenses. If the person had answered, would they have had to re-invoke the right?

I made the mistake of letting the cops search once. An hour after they left I got everything off the side of the road back into my car. Never again.
One of my friends consented to a search of his car, and the cops found a gun under one of the seats. Under Florida law, he would have probably been fine if he had a Concealed Weapons Permit. But he didn't have that permit and so Florida law sees such a firearm as "too accessible" to somebody without a Florida CWP. So he got hung out to dry, and lost not only the gun, but also got hit with a crime which took away his 2nd Amendment rights for at least 8 years. That was under the old laws before Florida adopted Concealed Carry for everybody, so I don't know how it would be today.
@justaskin8523Your friend should ask the governor for a pardon.
I was pulled over a few days ago. When he asked if he could search my car, I told him not to put one thing of mine outside the car. He also told me that him and his wife argue about him always lying. Then he told me that he's lied all the time. Without a license plate, I drove away without a ticket. He was just hired there, and I told him to always honor his oath, and he'd remain one of the good ones!
They can also tear it apart and there’s nothing you can do about the damage.
They will empty ash trays on your seat, remove the back seat, dismantle dash boards empty coins on floor, take out spare tire....ETC.... and then leave.
How silly it is that we "civilians" need to know and remember all this stuff while the supposed "professionals" are routinely excused from not actually knowing the very law they supposedly enforce.

America, fùck nope...
It's amazing that judges don't feel the same way when they get pulled over.
Its because they are in it together
Even if pulled over, judges usually get the green light to proceed. The US has a multi-tiered legal system.
ah. the dynamics of power lol 😂😂
I theorize the mafia corrupted the system. They couldn't beat them everywhere, in every state, so they had to bend the rules or laws, and over time, that corrupted the system, which never changed back to their own laws!!!
I hope this is satire, because IF they get pulled over, they aren't getting a ticket. I know this first hand.
Imagine how hard it is NOT to answer a question when they keep at it.
Just say I don’t answer questions without my lawyer present and I want my lawyer present. They CANNOT ask another question.
Just pretend the cops your wife and don't talk to her, i mean them
Just keep saying "No." They are using their social skills against you.
It’s not that hard at all
the point of this video is to practice and be ready. Cops have a script. Now you do too 😉.
Every teenage driver should be required to watch this entire video.
No one should be required to watch this video. The Supreme Court is corrupt.
@jamievetter601you’re right. We shouldn’t be prepared for reality. Instead we should just wish
@brandonbuchner1771 Does it bother you that we need videos to protect us from a corrupt supreme court? It should.
@jamievetter601 of course it does, but I also live in the real world. Do you have any plans of getting into politics or becoming a lobbyist to try to change things? I don’t. So until someone fixes it I want to be prepared. And I want my kids to be prepared.
@brandonbuchner1771 Going into politics can't fix supreme court rulings, and that's why I said the court is corrupt. Btw, there's nothing in the Constitution that says we can't undo their rulings. It's something they lie about.
There's something inherently wrong about a system that requires you to know exact phraseology to keep innocent citizens out of jail.
sad, we think they work for US. That is far from the TRUTH.
They do NOT have your best interest at heart
It’s called treason. These videos are required because Americans would rather comply with it than crush it.
Frankly, I prefer it. Just answer very predictable questions with specific answers. It's simple. I like simple. And it's nice that we can do it all, when you consider other countries don't have a way to legally protect themselves against their police force.
It's a dam shame.... They don't give a flying phuk what u got goin on! U cld have a dear loved one n nee, or an urgent matter at hand, where time is of the essence. U might not be able to explain or express the situation. It's very frustrating to explain y u don't have time for whats SOO important. Especially for being detained for a stupid ass traffic stop.
@StMiBllcops are predators. Ive been harassed by them and you dont know what to say a lot of times because the default is to assume good intentions by people. A predator is someone who takes advantage of those things
I’ve been pulled over in my city 8 times In the same 5 mile stretch in the last 4 years. I’ve been respectful and honest and they’ve given me 7 verbal warnings and a written warning. That being said half the time they pull me over it’s just profiling. One said my tag light was out. It was 2 pm and sunny.
You might need another route.
@oldblackstock2499 Or he should sue the harassing profiling cops. Just a thought.
Get a lawyer and sue them
"profiling" you as a law breaker who they where nice enuff to let off 8 times in 4 years! 🤦♂
"He refused to answer, it was very suspicious"
Where have you been? Where are you going? Why are you nervous? Why are your eyes glassy? over a turn signal error. States are passing laws, you can't use nervousness, glassy eyes, or slight confusion. Plead the 5th loud and clear, then say nothing. If you are not breaking the law and are clean, you will have a lawsuit in a jury trial if he arrests you and pulls you out, etc., all over a simple traffic violation. He just broke about five laws, and all over a ticket and his periodnoid suspension. A lawyer can win if the ticket is the only law you broke, so don't fight back, zip your mouth, and say the 5th! facts. I tell everyone I can!
"Thank you, but I do not consent to searches."
"No, I do not know why you me pulled me over."
My favorite - your exhaust is too loud. It's electric 🤣
oddly enough, there are cars that have external speakers to mimic engine revving synced with pushing the pedal
Its making a 100 Decibel hum ? Yeah right !
Never trust a liar.......
aka Lawyer
Richard Cardello
Always
And as we all know, police are liars.
Never trust a cop
Don’t answer your door don’t answer their questions!
Watch his video on "welfare checks." If you don't answer, they can claim they are worried about you and have the SWAT team break in to your home with no warrant.
@paulcaskeyJust “be ready” for that moment………………”live free in this life, or live free in the next”………….
2nd amendment every one of them. If they come into your home and are armed, which all of them are, it's home invasion and you can blast away. Just like the guy from Oregon Illinois in Ogle county. Ban the blue line gangs and abolish qualified immunity
Facts I don’t
@BanTheCrookedBlueLine No judge would ever side with you. Unless it was a no knock warrant and they never tell you that they are cops. Once identified, you will be held responsible for any wounds or deaths.
"I'm sorry I can't comment on that." has worked for me. Cops showed me a picture of me, I wish I had said "I can't answer that." I have a lawyer now, but maybe too late. I did say "I just want to protect my Rights, because you don't seem to have any interest in that" My Grandfather was a cop, and he told "Just remember a cop is never your friend." Great video,Thanks for all that information.
i like that line. Less aggressive than announcing you are ‘taking the 5th’. If they escalate, THEN I will explain the rights I’m exercising.
Cop: "where are you coming from? And, where are you going?"
Me: "from that way" (pointing behind me) "to that way" (pointing in front of me) 😁
20 years ago NOBODY would know all this is going on ... Thank you Hampton Law
and your parents & teachers would be still gaslighting you into thinking that you never lie to the police & they can do no wrong
@johndough1703they still try
What about when they tell you "you're not being detained" but you're not free to leave either?
Then you are detained.
Good way to win in court! 😂
If you are not being detained, then they cannot stop you from leaving. If they stop you from leaving you ARE detained. So, test that after asking. If they say you are not detained, then ask if you can leave. If they say yes, then leave. If they say no, then IMMEDIATELY exercise your right to remain silent, to refuse a search, and ask for your attorney, and fight it in court.
Goes back to what Jeff is saying, that detainment is based on the principle that a reasonable person would not feel free to leave. If an officer tells you something like “You’re not detained but I just need you to answer a few questions for me before I can let you leave,” then that’s a detainment. Invoke your right to remain silent, right to legal counsel present during all questioning, deny consent to searches, ask for the officer’s supervisor (since the officer is incapable of providing clear instructions), ask for their badge number, and remain silent while you wait for the officer to arrest you or for the supervisor to arrive and determine if you need to go free or if there’s enough probable cause for an arrest.
@RogerW9421not to mention there was a case that ruled that a stop couldn't be extended to bring out a drug dog bc a cop has to legally be working on writing you the ticket, ect...not just sitting around waiting 30 min for some dog to get there. Even if they do still bring a dog you can guarantee they will claim it alerted to something even if it didn't. They wouldn't bother going through all that trouble just to tell you it didn't alert to something. It's how they get away with then having the ability to search your car.
Record everything with your phone from start to finish! There have been multiple videos I've seen of cops pulling drugs out of their uniform and throwing it into your car then walking back and claiming it was yours. The problem is most ppl are being distracted/talking to another cop and/or not recording the whole process so they get away with it.
Government relies on ignorance and lack of involvement.
That's why Civics is not taught in schools. Can't exercise your rights properly unless you know what they are!
Control
That's how CNN and her mother stations exist!
And they call the ignorant followers a police department
Cop: Where are you comming from?
Driver: Back there!
Cop: Where are you going?
Driver: That way, straight ahead!
I love it!
They will try to use it against you.
Thank goodness for channels like this. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for giving such clear advice during a traffic stop by police. I appreciate this lesson.
Lawyers are as honest as cops
cop: "Do you know why I stopped you?" driver: "You dont know? You seem very confused. Your speech is slured. Are you feeling ok? Have you been drinking? Your eyes look bloodshot. In fact I smell alcohol!"
I smell weed.
I wouldn't care to ask why they pulled me over or asked....I want to go home and rather take the ticket.
@PBE86 they love you for that
In college cops busted into a party and started demanding id to bust underage drinkers. When cop asked me, I started pointing at my ears and making flapping motions with my hands. Cop thought I was deaf just made the “get out of here” motion with his hands. That was over 30 years ago, probably wouldn’t work today.
@qgnwyou’re getting the ticket anyway
Sounds like they need to teach this to high school students
schools teach you to be the sheeple
The ruling that it is legal to unlock a phone with biometrics forcibly is absolutely absurd and needs to be overturned.
And also, a drug dog sniffing around your house is considered a search and needs a warrant, but to sniff around your car is not considered a search and no need for a warrant. How does that make any sense?
"I don't answer questions."
Remember Kids. In THIS Country:
Law 'enforcement' officials can LIE TO U.S. with IMPUNITY and more and more of them are getting away with LYING ABOUT U.S.
When you say U.S., you mean U dot S dot? As in United States? So what you're saying is cops can lie to the United States and they can lie about the United States. Right?
@420GratefulHippie
US meaning We the People of the United States.
@420GratefulHippie pretty much. The only time they really get in trouble is if they lie in court (commit perjury), and even then, it's up to the judge how they feel about being lied to.
Fun fact: In Sweden cops are not allowed to lie to you and furthermore its not illegal to lie to them.
(it is however illegal to falsely accuse people but thats something different.)
And right now ICE is getting away with murder!
never trust a cop or a politician ever
if you forget read it again
What about a politician who is a cop? Double negative
@Berengier817 ...your logic is sound 🤔
@Berengier817 Two negatives making a positive is only true with electrical charges. Has NOTHING to do with language or life. Multiple negatives add emphasis. Chaucer wrote: "Ne never wol I be no love ne wif"
@Berengier817two things is worse than a politician cop, a politician that is mayor and politician police/sheriff chief
Have been able to talk myself into a warning multiple times. Just depends on the cop.
Why are police allowed to lie, but were not? With the way they abuse that power, that should be checked a bit, no?
Why can cops have weapons on them for officer safety, yet citizens can't have weapons for their safety?
Because we refuse to use a certain amendment for its intended purpose.
Who said you're not allowed to lie? Be honest with your lawyer and the judge. Sing them your favorite dirty limerick. Remind them whenever they do something "that's illegal for you to do without my lawyer present".
They're allowed to lie due to the corrupt System they serve permits and protects them from any consequences. But in the long run, it only breeds greater dislike and distrust from the public. Citizens are less likely to assist them when they need us. Basically they shoot themselves in the foot.
Just say i don't answer questions
Can and WILL be used against you...especially if the officer is a thug
Ones that aren't corrupt are iwther smart enough to leave or they end up dead at the hands of their fellow cops.
They are thugs for the rich to keep population down.
If ?
You're my lawyer. Great advice for everyone.
Thank you!, Great Channel!
This is the most realistic and concise video on police searches that I have ever seen.
One point I would like to add. If you turn your phone off, and then back on, it will require a pin or password to unlock. Biometric unlocking can only be done after the first manual unlock. So if your at the airport or otherwise about to be searched, turn your phone off.
Some versions of Android (like Graphene OS) allow you to set up a security/duress pin, that when entered into the lock screen, will immediately lock down and erase the phone.
In some menu's, there's a provision that when it's off, either by the button or time out, when trying to get the screen back, it has to go through screen lock. Search the settings carefully. Worth your time!
Paranoia level 100
"Do you know why I pulled you over"?..... "well no officer but, I do not have any donuts......"
Then get some
Stopping cops from taking advantage of you is as easy as 1, 2, 3... years of law school. Glad we have this channel to help us along.
The SCOTUS had ruled that Cops can lie. Therefore I should Assume that Cops are ALWAYS lying.
If the cop decides to walk around the car to look for defective equipment after stopping you for speeding, isn't that prolonging the stop beyond the reason for the stop?
Yes it would be.
"Officer safety" is one of those things that sound reasonable but are twisted to be used against you.
"I think I smell Marijuana" --> "how can you smell anything over that bullshit coming out of your mouth?"
😮😂👏
Yeah, now that you mention it, I smell it too since you walked up.
Haha I have to remember that
Or... Well you Sir shouldn't be smoking on the job . Shame on you !
And record everything !!!
That was awesome. Thank you for giving me information on what to say to a cop that makes that statement😂
One of your best videos. Thank you for your services. It’s a shame how many people don’t take time to watch and listen to your videos.
I'm practicing your advice and writing it down and put in my car as soon as I see I'mbeing pulled over. I'm forwarding your videos to all my friends. You need to know your rights. I just had a credit company try to sue me. I knew what to do I even had a court hearing scheduled. I just got a letter that they dismissed it without prejudice. Most people have no idea what to do and always get judgments against them.
Top 5 methods when dealing with police encounters:
1. don't talk to the police
2. don't talk to the police
3. don't talk to the police
4. don't talk to the police
5. don't talk to the police
I please the 5th.
Am I free to go?
Am I being detained?
Meanwhile, Jeffrey Epstein and half the government got away with things 6M times worse.
yep
Because they don’t talk 🤣
YES.
They have you to take the blame. You need to get yourself a blame guy if you want to do things 6M times worse.
yeah they got trump elected, pretty bad
And police wonder why even good people hate them.
They don’t wonder. They simply don’t care.
the irony is that one of the sure ways you can tell a good person is if they have a righteous disdain for US Law Enforcement
@nweeezySpot on. Law abiding citizens love to support law enforcement but recognize when cops misbehave. And they want the misconduct to stop.
personally i have never ran into a bad cop, now game wardens on the other hand some of them seem to have a big head for some reason.
They don't wonder. They're devoted to being scum and are perfectly fine with it.
You mean that handsome officer isn't on MY side? Well then, I won't buy dinner.
21:14 "I mean after all it's only the guilty people that push back and stay silent." 😂 That's good
this needs to be mandatory training for all schoolkids to protect themselves from cops
The mandatory training should be, don't do drugs or have 50 pound of drugs in your car. That is what it should be.
Nah an M203 and some 40mm grenades is much better protection from anyone who wants to harass you.
@xx4523 parents need to teach their kids this stuff!
@emiketodd I try...but my 16 year old daughter doesn't believe her dumb ol' dad. I keep telling her what her rights are and not to surrender them and she keeps acting like i'm going to get her in more trouble by the police. Hearing it from a stranger on youtube would actually be better 😂
by officer unfriendly
Gotta meet those quotas. I know y'all think quotas are a myth, but how else can you justify a 500% over staffing on a job that requires 1 officer per 1000 citizens?
minor traffic tickets are a city tax revenue generation machine.
Some cities/counties and some states have quotas, not all of them do.
@Dolby109if they don’t have a quota they are small and hungry for revenue and will do whatever to get it
and cops wonder why everyone hates them.
They don’t care.
Cops play mind games...why...??.. because they know they have immunity...
Back in 87 I got pulled over in an industrial park. I was just driving around the park because my girlfriend and I used to "park" there. I was missing my girlfriend who had just flown home. Suddenly, lights. Cop pulled me over wondering if I was casing the place. But once he spoke to me he could tell right away that story was legit. I was opening my centre console to get my documents out and I took a beer bottle out and explained I was taking it back to the brewery the next day because the cap was somehow melded into the glass and couldn't be opened safely. I called the brewery and explained and they said bring it in and I'll get a dozen free.
Anyway, I showed it to him and he didn't say anything. Just nodded and took my documents then ran a check, came back and handed them back to me. Then I was on my way.That was a good reasonable cop. It all made sense to him. Anyway, next day I went to the brewery with my messed up bottle of beer(Oland Export) and got a free case of beer. Man, I remember that like it was five minutes ago and here it is 2026 now. Anyway, Labatt bought them, changed the recipe and I stopped buying it. Man, Oland Export was the king of beers in Nova Scotia.
Life really does go by fast. Just feeling sentimental tonight. Don't mind me, I'm a retired senior. Sober 15 years now.
😊❤
"Do you know why I pulled you over?"
"Why's that, officer?"
"I pulled you over for speeding. Do you know how fast you were going?"
"How fast was that, officer?"
You don't have to confirm or deny anything. Treat their question like a "Guess what?" question. Because that's what it is.
Yes, my speed was reasonable and prudent.
@wesstewart102
"My speed was totally reasonable under the circumstances."
"Hmmmm, which circumstances?"
"Well, there was this guy behind me, and he seemed to be coming after me."
"What did he look like?"
(Points to officer)
Wait, 55 lbs of weed in your car and you consent? That’s a whole new level of stupidity
Possibly, but it was me I would refuse everything always
If it carries a badge, it lies. Police lie under oath so often that they have a name for it: testilying. Do not trust them, not even if they are family.
Even under oath!
Finally someone who uses the correct pronoun for police
How to tell if a cop is lying: A comprehensive list.
1- Its lips are moving.
2- It is writing or typing something.
@shasshybearI love that we aren't using human pronouns for them.
@shasshybear 3 - It's thinking
Arrested for resisting arrest! That's hilarious! The phrase itself says: there was no reason for the initial arrest, so the resist can't be due to that!
Very true our government, politicians,cops are the biggest LIARS,crooks,and murders, that need to be under the prison ABOLISH QUALIFIED IMMUNITY AND FIRE THEM COWARDS NOW POWER TO THE PEOPLE
Like to see a video on what it looks like when you get a warrant, how to tell it's legitimate, and how to make sure it isn't a document that looks like a warrant but isn't, such as an application for the warrants. And what to do about it.
There should be a judge's signature and date on it.
@patchbunnyI'm aware, the goal is to inform others on steps like how to confirm it's a legitimate document and not just an administrative signature, but a legitimate judge? In what time frame? How much time does one have to examine the warrant or subpoena, all sorts of things, the details that fall through the cracks until there's an investigation that takes a person's life hours away. Prevention is key.
@sbee7158 yeah, i’m curious about all these things as well.
plus, how does it work when they call a judge to get a warrant signed when the judge is unable to meet in person?
a video on this stuff would be great.
Yeah, I was served a warrant with no name or address on me and my home searched with me held at gun point. They couldn’t find anything so they brought something in from their car and charged me with it. The whole system is messed up. No way to prove my side as we didn’t have cameras and such. It’s good to have lots of them all around your home and car just to protect your interests. Cops are DIRTY, CROOKED, SCOUNDRELS. NEVER TRUST ONE! Should have been thrown out of court just because of no name, no address on the warrant. Some lawyers and judges are just as bad. I know mine was. If you are poor and can’t afford an attorney you are really screwed. My children witnessed all of it and remember it. They are in their 40’s now. They have never trusted our system or a cop since. (1980’s).
The US, the only Western democracy where you need a PhD to not have your rights violated.
Well, at least we do have certain inalienable rights most other countries don’t.
@mghezzi Lately they seem pretty flexible.
Its really not that hard.
I don't answer questions.
I dont consent to any searchers
Am i free to go
@junderwood6633..... I invoke my right to remain silent.
Or be on the epstines files.
If they had an actual RAS they wouldn’t pull you over for a broken tail light, pretext stops is just a legal way to fish.
anytime a cop asks where I'm coming from or where I was going, I say "I was just driving, officer" and give them silence if they ask repeatedly
The 4 words to say to any cop, "I Don't Answer Questions".
Isn't there enough real crime without them playing games.
One officer asked where I was going at a liscense check I said the city of my destination. He stood there with his hands on his hips thinking it over I guess. Then he said I could go.
We must absolutely have police, but they must be of integrity.
A policeman asked my sassy sister where she was going she replied, down this here public road ! Lol.
There's a good idea; thanks. I didn't like the video poster's suggestion to say you're refusing to answer; no matter how politely said, that seems as if it would just invite more hostile and pointed questioning.
Dang Hampton Law is going going full blown and covering everything love this guy
Officers almost never answer if you are free to go. They will say all sort of things other than yes, or no.
Because no punishment falls on an officer that doesn't clearly communicate the status of people they are contacting.
I saw a tiktok clip from a lawyer who was willing to offer free legal advice to everyone at once and she just screamed "STFU" at the camera.
I did not answer questions, officer said I was uncooperative. Jokes on me, I was saying silent to protect my wife, whom was not staying silent, and pointing her finger at me (lol).
its fucked up that cops can physically assault you to unlock your phone, it should be illegal, cops have no reason other than unlocking the phone to be touching the person in that moment thus its assault.
the court needs to reverse its bullshit asap.
It is illegal, but they won’t prosecute their own.
@Saronyte It depends. It your phone is locked with either your thumb or face then no it is not illegal. The courts have ruled that those are deemed as leaving the door to your home open and they are "just looking in" and it is in plain view. This is why you need a pin or pattern lock. They cannot you to input those.
@RedtheTiger1851 the courts are wrong. It clearly violates the 4th amendment right of anyone and must result in severe punishment for all who violate this.
The people will correct what the courts refuse to.
All you have to do is restart your phone. That way it will pin lock/password lock. Most phone will revert to that if restarted..... and my phone randomly makes me put my password in over certain periods of time for security purposes
@JJacobs803or quickly type the wrong password in rapid succession will lock the phone from biometrics.
How many people will REALLY have the funds to challenge any of this in court? This is all great if you have unlimited funds, but I’ve been involved in a lawsuit and the bill went up about every 5 seconds. It was astounding how expensive it was.
In California, they can't start with, "Do you know why I stopped you?" anymore. Assembly Bill 2773 prohibits police officers from starting traffic or pedestrian stops by asking, "Do you know why I stopped you?". Officers must now state the reason for the stop before asking any other questions, aiming to reduce "pretextual stops" and de-escalate interactions.
But, the question is dumb, because my answer was always something along the lines of, "because you're a cop, it's in your nature" or "because you're a jerk" or "what? Do you think I can read minds?" or "who knows why you cops do anything?"
Better to avoid antagonizing them. I keep thinking of the old Seinfeld episode with Kramer pretending to be a movie theatre's automated messaging system: "Why don't you just TELL me why you stopped me, officer?"
Just say, "I'm not sure." Then they have to list a cause, and anything beyond that is outside bounds.
Also, never carry anything in your car to start with.
Love your line “here is the trick..”- Every interaction I’ve ever had with police went just fine. Here is MY trick.. don’t do anything wrong! Simple.. Don’t do drugs, don’t drink and drive, don’t keep unlicensed guns, drugs or alcohol in your car or home, keep your car roadworthy, yourself and passengers wearing seatbelts, have a valid licence, registration and insurance and drive lawfully. Done! Now that didn’t take 22min to explain.
"May I search your car?" Hand them a fast food bag. "Here, you can search this."
I was pulled over for a minor traffic violation. Cop asked 'why are you nervous".
To make you nervous 😂
I always got nervous. Especially when one “tailed” me looking for driving violation? Criminal history? Nope. My uncle was a violent abuser. Went into army then became cop.
Never never never trust a cop.
I learned the HARD way that police are not your friends, thank God I walked away.
Always trust that a cop is trying to set you up to screw yourself.
thats my motto
cops are corrupt and very dangerous.
I disagree. But you cannot trust ALL. Most are good.
"Office safety" 😂😂 more likely the general public need safety from them.
This is why no one trusts cops. They legally can lie to you, but you better be 100% truthful
Protect and serve the state.
"I want a lawyer dog"
Lol I love that
@kirkmorrison6131 It’s a true story. A guy was being “interviewed” by the police and he asked for a “lawyer, dog” and they continued to integrate him. The court latter ruled that because he asked for a “lawyer dog” not “a lawyer” he didn’t invoke he 5th Amendment rights.
@jdii5698That is strange, I can believe it, though. Thank, you, for the story, behind the phrase
@kirkmorrison6131 Copy/paste “ Steve Lehto Second Channel lawyer dog” into the youtube search bar for the rest of the story (hat tip to Paul Harvey).
This was a good soup-to-nuts presentation of cop trickery.
soup to nuts?
haha 😃
@KhanAndMrPointyEars People say "soup to nuts" to mean "from beginning to end" or "covering everything" because it comes from old, formal multi-course dinners where soup was the first dish and nuts were the final dessert course, symbolizing the entire meal. The phrase signifies completeness, like a comprehensive service that handles all aspects of a project from start to finish, just as a full dinner covers the whole dining experience from start to finish.
When they have asked in I knew why I was getting pulled over, I always respond with "No, but I am pretty sure you are about to tell me." And then they divulge the reason for the stop. But whatever you do, don't admit to ANY on the side of the road.
I had a state patrol officer try for like five minutes to get me to admit that I was speeding after he said he got me on radar. You can't lie to them so just repeat, to my recollection I was going the speed limit and not speeding. My teenager was in the back seat, I have gun permit, maybe he got me on radar, I don't know but I got a verbal warning and left. 😅
Ha! Same. ❤
You should make a business card with that exact saying. I would put that in with my license.
Cop: "Do you know why I pulled you over?"
Me: "Why? Did you forget?"
If you don't know , I am not going to tell you.
Great comeback but it might enrage them and then you have more of their shit coming at you.
Impeding the flow of traffic?
Is there some kind of law that you have to be stupid to become a cop
You have to be willing to sell your soul.
Predisposition.
People mot knowing how to exercise their tights doesn't make cops stupid. It makes them stupid
The Jordan v. The City of New London case decided that police departments can reject applicants with too high of an IQ.
It's hard to attract and keep normal people, they just level the cluster f_ck before it's too late and "blue line" eats them alive. Corruption runs deep it seem.
Probably your best single explanation of what to do when dealing with cops. This is the video I'll recommend to anyone who wants to know.
I do have one question, though. Most of us don't have a lawyer on retainer, so when we say "I refuse to answer a question unless my lawyer is present," what do we do when the cop, who has our phone or has us in detention says "fine, get your lawyer down here." I assume they have to let us make a call, eventually, but who do we call when we know nothing about finding a lawyer?
it doesn't matter. You don't have to materialize a lawyer on the spot. The point is 1. get them to shut up 2. if they don't give your eventual lawyer ammo to use against them.
All these supreme court decisions have really eroded our rights. It's so disheartening to see it laid out like this.
There are a lot of precedents that help protect them too. Trick is knowing all that info. Only way to get at it though is to study it or pay someone who has.
Thank you for another great video.
Somewhere I heard this advice: "officer, if you can you give me explicit wrote down 100% guarantee of immunity of anything I talk to you without any exception we can talk, otherwise..."
Pro tip: Don’t start the conversation with “There’s nothing in the trunk!”
Actually, do it when there IS nothing in the trunk.
"See? I told you!"
We must return to Common Law and ditch Maritime Law. These are just legalized land pirates preying on those who have a right to travel freely. They need to be public servants, not highwaymen who extract wealth from the common traveler.
"Officer, can you read the motto on the side of your car?"
"To protect and serve."
"Good. Now can you justify trying to arrest me for driving home? How is it protecting me? How is it serving me?"
4:36 The minute they traffic stop you, you are being detained by definition. So, you should never answer any questions. Additionally, if you think you can just start answering questions then suddenly stop whenever they ask a question you don't like, think again. They can use your silence against you to infer guilt. Salinas v. Texas, 570 U.S. 178 (2013). So just keep it simple and to every question, just say, "I don't answer questions." But remember you do have to present your paperwork (license, etc.) if driving and you must exit the vehicle immediately if asked for any reason (Pennsylvania v. Mimms). The police don't have to give you their reasons.
When the cop asks you if you know why he pulled you over you reply, “because you haven’t met your quota this week?”
Had a cop ask where i lived. I told him to read my drivers license. He was pissed😂
Its not even theyre job to protext and serve 😂😂😂😂😂😂
“To Punish and Enslave.”
The Decepticon Barricade had it right…
This is why you should Never have the face unlock function active on your phone.
Plus with biometrics, it just gives google or whatever even MORE info about you. I am sure they will get it either way but at least make them work for it.
How is a police officer (a dog) doing a search, not a search?
Only your vehicle is private, the odor of meth coming out of the car into a public space is not constitutionally protected. 😂
@melissasmess2773 oh. Makes sense. Just like sperm in a discarded condom, is public property and no longer belongs to the person it came from.
This is so a useful video for folks who are guilty of something. If you simply comply with all lawful instructions and show respect, your chances of getting a warning are significantly increased.
Read this. I avoid cops, if I can, like I would avoid a gang of thugs who were after me. Once they have you cornered, they got you by the balls, and once you're "in the system," your life is no longer your own. I am not a lawyer, and I haven't been to cop school. All this information is too overwhelming and impossible to absorb to the point where you can verbally defend yourself at a stop. So don't try. They are trained to trick you. Somewhere along the way, they will trip you up. It's what they do. I view cops as narcissists with badges, and they will do everything in their power to cause you more strife and hardship than life itself does. They can, and will. We are still under the Act of 1871, BRITISH law. BAR means "British Accreditation Registry," and is a falsified (bastardized) version of the original constitution. The justice system is an illegal and unjust group, as dangerous as junkyard dogs to the innocent. But we can't do anything about it unless you are one of the Brunson brothers. Never trust a cop, never engage with one, never look or wave at one. They can be like rabid dogs looking for a way to bite you after a wrong answer. They are essentially a necessary evil among us, so my takeaway and suggestion from this video is: Print out the last thing this lawyer tells you at the end and keep it in your glove box.
Bar is not an acronym, it's a reference to the literal bar that marks off the immediate precinct of the judge's seat, at which prisoners are stationed for arraignment, trial or sentence.
I think there's some truth to what you're saying, because the justice system is only as good as the people running it, and in certain places, corruption runs amok. But in my experience, and Im a little biased because my parents were officers, I think that the vast majority are not trying to victimize people, and don't even like enforcing certain laws they think are unjust. My parents for example, were personally against cannibals, but did not like ruining peoples lives for finding one joint in their glove compartment. Their supervisor suggested to simply use their discretion.
@digitalcatalyst5840 To be fair, I think most people would be against cannibals. Cannabis, on the other hand, is getting more support.
@Duskbatty LOL, think youre right
Voicing your intent to remain silent is required to halt an interrogation, but simply staying silent works too. The cops can keep asking though, unless you tell them no answers and you want a lawyer.
The scenario where you say A did it; B helped. And then the cops say "and what about you?" If you then go silent, can the cop say "he accused others but when we asked about him, he refused to answer."?
Silence is one of the mosr powerful rights. Imagine living in a country where you don't have to lie to block an intrusive government witch hunt. God bless America.
My understanding is that you can refuse to answer their questions but you're not constitutionally protected unless you invoke your fifth amendment right. Just remaining silent can leave you charged with refusing to answer question I thought. It's always nice to start this with "With all due respect officer, I'm invoking my 4,5,6th Amendment rights" then you can't speak again or your right to not incriminate yourself is no longer in force.
@melissasmess2773 interesting... so you say there's a legal obligation to respond to a cop? Cop asks if you murdered a thousand people and you're legally obligated to voice a refusal to answer?
Cops legally lie. Why would you talk with a known liar? Just tell them to phuck off because you don't talk to liars. "Am I free to go?"
Never offer any information only acknowledgement of their intent.
I like how this person knows his stuff and gives it succinctly. You respect the viewer
Cop" Do you know why I stopped you , Driver says " MR. Officer you forgot already?
If you invoke your right to remain silent, and then answer a question, do you have to re-invoke your right to remain silent? I seen a video where someone invoked their right to remain silent, and the cop asked if they were wearing their corrective lenses and they didn’t answer, remaining silent. So the cop ticketed them for not wearing their lenses. If the person had answered, would they have had to re-invoke the right?
