Got questions about dealing with cops? We got answers: flexyourrights....
The problem isn't our rights, the problem is that there is little to dissuade police from abusing their authority and flat out lieing.
Say you refuse a search, what is to stop a cop from claiming they smell pot?
The bottom line is there is little stopping police from this as there is no consequence from BSing because proving they intentionally lied is almost impossible and even if you managed to prove they lied, they face little consequences.
Until individual cops have something to fear besides paid vacation this will continue.
schlooonginator you can repeat that you have NOT consented to ANY search and argue that. Keep your mouth shut, get a lawyer and tell him/her that.
They are paid very well and have no education especially on laws and rights. They take an oath to protect our constitutional rights but they don't know them or care. This is a systematic problem extending to prosecutor's crime labs and just about every other government branch that is employed by we the people.
Very good presentation perhaps High School curriculum should have a course on constitutional rights and application practice 4 simulated traffic stops
USSupremes ruled it is lawful for police to lie. Recently.
They also approved police can steal under forfeiture laws and can keep the money. They have millions in their retirement funds. You can sue to get money returned but one cannot always afford to do that. So we encourage and reward their misbehavior, i.e., criminal behavior. We need laws so the Supreme cannot make such rulingsm their decisions are taken under consideration of the law.
@SBNR ACE .
I had DC court charge me with a crime, dismiss the charge That gave them probable cause, and still found a way to drag out the court proceedings for almost 2 years, and counting
In addition to asserting your rights, we need legislation to eliminate the idea of "policing for profit". This includes the unofficial quotas that exist in nearly every department. Police and/or city budgets should not depend upon the police ability to write a certain number or amount of tickets to support shortfalls in the budget. Finally, I believe that the laws supporting Civil Asset Forfeiture needs to go to the Supreme Court as fundamentally unconstitutional against the 4th Amendment. Crazy world we live in today!
I agree %100 I'm grateful you brought that up.
It is us against them.
So, like vampires, the police can't enter your home without your consent...the similarity does not end there.
lol
Jimidan69 , GOOD ONE !
I read somewhere they need a warrant but,if someone is in danger,they can enter without consequences so,they lie a lot.
They can you use a no knock warrent
Your comparison is spot on but somehow i respect vampyre.
Shouldnt police hold their own insurance so the tax payer doesn't need to pay for their crimes?
I bought a used car and found an old joint in the seat rail near the floor when cleaning it one day. **NEVER CONSENT TO A SEARCH!**
Note: If a cop tells you to get out of your car, BE SURE TO CLOSE THE DOOR BEHIND YOU! By leaving it open, you are INVITING a search!
That wouldn't be a problem for me. If I found a joint, it wouldn't remain unsmoked long enough to get caught with it.😉
@@samuellane8691 it is also an excellent idea that when shutting the door behind you with all windows rolled up or lock the vehicle with your keys on the floorboard always keep a hide a key somewhere on your car so if it is possible that you have to get back into it you may this will keep them from searching it 100% as well as when they ask how you plan on getting back in say I plan on calling a locksmith as soon as you gentlemen are finished with me and then after a few minutes you can get the key out and let yourself back into your car I personally I found this to be a very good idea
@SBNR ACE THE DRUG WAR RUINED MILLIONS OF LIVES AND IS DESTROYING us.......
@@TheGalaxyhopperAnd most Americans remain ignorant about the British Forced Opium Trade Wars against China and many other of "their" present and former Colonial $ettlements! Penal Codes are directly from British Penal Colonies aka the Common(ers) Wealth!
Rights are like muscles, if you don’t flex them, you loose them.
As a whole we are pretty weak. It might be too late to hit the constitutional gym.
Absolutely
Amagansett
These callers to C-SPAN have the IQ's of cheesesticks.
Worse part is they go and vote.
So do cops,incidentally.
VITO DAMICO incidentally And VERY unfortunately. Police already have far more rights than a civilian citizen and very rarely are brought to justice and they go and vote to make sure it stays that way
@@suzanh7777 , actually many peace officers and deputy sheriffs, along with certain federal law enforcement agents are recruited directly out of the military. This is especally true for military members who do not hold technical or clerical MOS's or Ratings. Consider this, an individual served a 4 year contract as 11-B or another combat related position. They are trained in weapons platforms both long and handheld, have adapted to stressful environments and situations and have honed their incident management and deployable assets skills. All the while, maintaining continious combat training and physical ability standards.
There are very few civillian employment options for them. Therefore, advanced level security and executive protection, government overseas contracting and law enforcement are enticing alternatives to flipping burgers at the local greasy spoon restaurant. Due to the maintenance of PT standards while in the military, the physical agility exam and law enforcement academy (FLETC, State & Local Department) will not be a problem.
The largest hurdle for these individuals is learning and deploying the legal and procedural requirements on a pass/fail basis. Most of police work is talking to people, finding the facts in between the 100's of lies that are told to you each shift and report writing. Some can adapt, while some wash out. Some wash out in the academy, while others break during their probationary period with their FTO, (Field Training Officer). Fewer still, slip under the radar and it may take a year or more to figure out that someone is a crappy officer or abusing privileges.
The biggest problem is that citizens think officers are robots. They are human too, they are fallible and they too have feelings. I had a woman scream at me for 5 minutes because she felt that I was not being kind enough to her during a traffic stop. Basically, I was not kissing her ass enough, to meet her standards. I apologized to her and stated that I would try harder. I let her go with a warning.
What I did not tell her is at the beginning of my shift, I responded to a head-on collision at an intersection. Vehicle #1 had a passenger in the front seat that had a seat belt failure. She kissed the windshield at approximately 50mph. So, I pulled the 11 year old girl out of the car and did CPR on her for nearly 20 minutes until EMS arrived. They worked on her for about 10 minutes and called it. She did not survive,... I still remember the smell the shampoo emanating from her hair when I provided rescue breaths. When I smell that brand, it takes me right back to the paramedic telling me she is not responsive and we will do time of death at the hospital.
Two hours later I had a speeder screaming at me, telling me how horrible I am,.... 10 hours to go until end of shift. That is an event that nearly every officer goes through, out of 100's or 1000's of similar events over the course of a 20 year career. They see the worst that humanity has to offer, are lied to continuously and yes, because they are human, they have bad days,... sometimes very bad.
So, when thinking about the job and the times where you are the first to encounter tragedy I would prefer to have someone with military experience backing me up, as they have been specifically trained on how to physically and mentally combat the very worst society has to offer. Yup, Fuck the Police, even if they would take a bullet for you and put your life ahead of their own. Cops are some shallow people, eh!?!?
It's great that you, Steve, have set all this up and have taken the time to organize all this information. I applaud you Sir. I sincerely hope that the people, citizens of the US, take all this to heart and learn to exercise their constitutionally protected rights that the former patriots of this country fought and died for.
These are the worst calls ever. Christ. This Steve guy is legit too bad there weren't better calls
Pretty good sample of the general public though, so many don't assert their rights because they don't know their rights. It's sad.
And so many are incapable of basic rational thought, based on some members of this group.
Thank you Steve Silverman and C-Span...…. Like life, we have to learn everything when we come in this world... from learning how talk what words mean to walking ect... Thanks for helping us on our rights that every one Should know and be Taught in our Schools...
NOBULL ziggster, get a law dictionary, then you will learn that the definitions you know, are not the definitions they use.
Well, responding "No" when asked by the officer "You don't mind if I take a look?" is bad news. It could be taken either way but the cops interpretation is the one that will win the day in court. Take Steve's first advice "I do not consent to searches". Try always to video the encounter with the cop -
Except when that bodycam footage mysteriously goes missing!!!
Get a Dash Cam,... Walmart from $20.00 to $50.00 depending on available models. Then you have a recording of the encounter and do not have to rely on their saving footage and filing a FOIA request for the encounter.
The best way to not get pulled over is obey the traffic laws. Its not hard, my last traffic stop was in 1996 when the new seatbelt law was imposed. I forgot to put it on and got a warning. Yes just a warning,... because I was not dick and explained myself. Drive safe...👍🏽
@cassl14 , what makes you think I am not a minority? That was a little presumptuous by enagmatically insinuating that I do not qualify based upon a lack of empherical evidence. However, as an example; My, Son lives in Provo Utah, is Black and never gets pulled over. Mainly because we had "The Talk" when he was 16 years old and he obays the traffic laws. It is, most of the time, how you carry yourself and communicate with others that will dictate what reaction you will recieve from law enforcement. With that said I will say that Utah is the epitome of "Whiteness", as the entire State looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch advertisement. So, thanks for pulling the "Minority Card", but you need to slip that one back in the deck. Love, Peace,... and Hair Grease! ✌🏿
Always record the order following tools. There is no such thing as a good cop.
Exactly!!!!
I definitely regret surrending my rights to police who pulled me over when I have a person of color with me in the car. We were ordered out on the curb and my car was searched in Brooklyn Park mn
Finally, a county police offucer admitted the truth! See, We the people, Have a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO TRAVEL FREELY UPON A COMMON WAY, IN THE PURSUIT OF LIFE, LIBERTY, & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! WHICH INCLUDES A HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE, & MOTOR VEHICLE! DRIVING = COMMERCIAL TERM FOR MAKING MONEY! TRAVELLING=PRIVATE TRANSPORT OF ONES SELF & PROPERTY! THANK YOU!!
Amen 🙏
Lol sounds good but has it ever worked I don’t think so kind sir
These are the 10 most dangerous jobs of 2019, as reported by Newsweek:
Logging Workers. ...
Fishers and Related Fishing Workers. ...
Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers. ...
Roofers. ...
Refuse and Recyclable Material Collectors. ...
Structural Iron and Steel Workers. ...
Truck Drivers and Other Drivers. ...
Farmers, Ranchers and Agricultural Managers
No police on the list.
When I hear about police safety, how their number 1 priority is to make sure they and their partner make it home that day, I'm reminded of roofers and drivers. The police took an oath to defend the Constitution. And they're supposed to put themselves between danger and myself to assure I make it home safely today. I'm inclined to believe roofers and drivers could do a better job in protecting the rights of everyone. They certainly look at greater daily risks with more steel in their balls than cops.
No cop on that list
I refuse to consent to any search of my premises, the location of my arrest, my car, or my effects. I wish to exercise my rights under the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments to remain silent and to have my attorney present during any questioning or lineup. If you ignore my exercise of these rights and attempt to procure a waiver, I wish to confer with my attorney prior to any conversation with the law enforcement agent on the subject of waiver.
You Sir, are a credit to your Gender, Creed, and Nation! God Bless you and your effort. Thank you so much. Good job, keep up the good work!
Do you know what creed he is a credit to?
You know if police pull you over and you feel threatened you can stay in your car and call 911 and tell them you fear for your safety.
I had encounter with a several cops at my condo one night. One, that refused to show me ID tried to force his way in, no warrant, my wife called 911, and told then someone pretending to be a cop was trying to force his way in. 911 operator told her the duty Sargent was walking up to the door, we talked, the cops went away!😊
Terry stops are a fishing expedition !!
They should be charged
Fishing without a license
Excellent marvelous job Steve. Great PR speaker for Flex. Keep it up!
FACT: THE CONSTITUTION NEVER GRANTED RIGHTS OR POWERS YO ANY EMPLOYEE!
WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT SLAVES TO ANYBODY, AS FREE PEOPLE HAVE NO MASTER!
My rights dont disappear when a cop enters the area, and my rights trump officer safety...PERIOD.
I'll never understand how you can win a lawsuit against an officer, but the officer doesn't get charged... what sense does that make🤦♀️🤷♀️
Don’t want to do it like a spy? Oh, yes I do. They will show their true colors.
Well said its our employees
Good point.
We shouldn't have to fight for our rights. That's why we need to DISBAND not defund the police. The current crew must be dismissed and less new ones should be hired and trained according to our new standards. All interactions with the public MUST be recorded. Failing to have their cameras on should be cause for dismissal. Not after five times. The first time. Other functionaries can handle domestic cases, mentally ill people, etc. These Pigs must be taught that they only squeal by our permission.
Hello Steve Silverman,
I have a disabling condition which causes me to slur my speech often. So, rather than communicate this fact and give the police reasonable suspicion or probable cause to search my vehicle or to create trumped up charges of dui or driving under the influence of drugs Is it legal in Prince George’s county, md to have a typed sign alerting the police when stopped that due to not wanting my fifth amendment rights violated ( self incrimination) , I intend to show you my license, registration , my disability card & proof of insurance in a clear sheet protector cover up against this window, keys will remain visible on my dashboard & doors kept locked for my protection. For I am disabled and I don’t want to be subject to being thrown from my vehicle on a technicality.
If you are going to issue me a citation of any kind , please put it under the windshield wiper and I will retrieve it once you pull off. Thanks for understanding officer.
Hello Steve Silverman,
I have to go to court for resting in my vehicle and I want to know whether the following is legal in pg county. Is it legal in Prince George’s county, md to have a typed sign alerting the police when stopped that due to not wanting my fifth amendment rights violated ( self incrimination) , I intend to show you my license, registration , my disability card & proof of insurance in a clear sheet protector cover up against this window, keys will remain visible on my dashboard & doors kept locked for my protection.

If you are going to issue me a citation of any kind , please put it under the windshield wiper and I will retrieve it once you pull off. Thanks for understanding officer.
A girlfriend planted meth under my car seat. I found it, and I trashed it. What should I do if I get caught?
He totally DODGED the COMMERCIAL CAPACITY of the term DRIVE, DRIVER, DRIVING being FORCED upon the private people or Americans
THIS MAN IS MY HERO AND A TRUE WARRIOR OF THE PEOPLE. MAY HE LIVE TO BE 200 YRS OLD AND STILL IN GREAT SHAPE.
@cassl14 IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND??? THEN I AM SORRY. I DO NOT FEEL JUSTIFIED TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO EVERYBODY WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. IF YOU LIKE WE CAN DISCUSS STEVE SILVERMAN. IF NOT?? THEN OH WELL............................................
@cassl14 I AM NO VICTIM. YOUR THE ONE WHO SEEMS TROUBLED BY A NAME OR A SYMBOL THAT MIGHT OFFEND YOU SO GO BACK AND HIDE UNDER MOMMYS SKIRT CAUSE WE KNOW YOUR AFRAID OF YOUR OWN SHADOW.
Thanks Steve. Very informative video, as are all the rest you have here. I think the more officers (and elected representatives) choose to take liberties and bypass the constitution, the more it becomes necessary for citizens to bring them to school and remind them of it. Calmly and politely, of course.
USA! Sign zee paper.
Steve and "Flex Your Rights" are providing an essential/important service to US citizens. I admire, respect and appreciate Steve's work!!! Great interview, thanks to C-SPAN for covering this issue. "Bad cops" hurt the reputation of good cops who behave appropriately and within the law. I think it is important to get that message across to those good cops - the "thin blue line" does not ultimately really serve the best interests of the police force in America!
Ok, cool but their are no good cops, If their were good cops then their would be no bad cops. Simple as that
+TokEnboL how did that make any sense in your head?
George Korolev I understand, If a cop tries to take the side of the citizen, that cop gets fired and sued for slander and loses everything. I think it drove dorner over.freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-peace-officer-defies-blue-tribe-exile.htm lruclips.net/video/0Oinpr8cVyA/видео.html&x-yt-cl=84503534&feature=player_embedded
I find it amazing that law abiding people need to have lessons on how to handle police just to protect themselves from them.
It's because they are dangerous sumtimes depending on the individual officer , this is where Good cop - Bad Cop comes in
I'm always surprised by how many police officers do not seem to know the law, or just playing dumb. They do lie a lot and correct me if I'm wrong but I heard they are allow and can lie to get information from you.
That police officer is absolutely correct that "driving" is a "commercial activity", when you are "charged" with an offense, that IS a literal "commercial activity ~ a commercial financial charge or debt". YOU OWN NOTHING!!! That "vehicle", a commercial term, that you drive is NOT yours, it belongs to the "government" as evidenced by the "license plate". A "driver" is a "commercial operator" of a "commercial vehicle". Your "driver's license" is a "commercial license" to operate the government's "commercial vehicle", the car that you incorrectly believe that you own. What I have just written is less than the "tip of the iceberg" of the deception of the American population. You guys do know a small amount and you are doing a good job. Have a great day!!!
“William” was not a LEO haha...
County police 🤣
Best advice. Avoid encounters with law enforcement of every stripe !!! When an encounter is unavoidable remember that you are dealing with a dangerous and unpredictable force. Act submissive and avoid confrontation. Assert your legal rights humbly, if at all !!! Always remember that police are very sensitive about their AUTHORITY !!! Avoid questioning it. Good luck !!! You'll need it !!!
'
Sounds like they have personality issues narrssisstic or phsycopathy maybe part of their training should include intense mental health test I have to had it to Alaska Troopers they deal with heavily armed drunk and what would be labeled DANGEROUS and it is RARE any even draws a gun against the other maybe they should internship in Alaska also
I agree about being humble. When I see people trying to flex their rights on camera they come across like trouble makers. I know they mean well but few of us are skilled at public speaking let alone during a stressful police situation. Unrehearsed, we see a lot of people disapprove of those who are trying to educate public and police about liberty. People think they're jerks. For that reason, I would like to see the utmost respect, almost ass kissing if you will, to explain reason to the police If we don't flex our rights we lose them.
Submissive? Fucking bootlicking wont save your ass if they want to bag some prey...any prey, and if they are looking at you, you are next.
Words can not truly describe the badness of these police
All public servants carrying weapons have to be stripped of Qualified Immunity and pay for individual malpractice insurance.
They come in your home whenever they feel like it. Then when they feel like it they may present the warrant. Has been my experience.
the federal court in Boston, MA said a few years ago at least. That it is ok to video and audio police at all times when they are on duty in any public or official space (ie the PD while their beating a guy) they have no right to privacy unless in a bathroom or locker room type of thing. NO STATE may pass a law that goes against federal law.
I would suggest locking your phone with a code and also if you shoot video that you use an app like bambuser that sends it to your email or right to the web itself. That way the police cannot delete it and you can get it to your lawyer and to sources that will force justice to be done.
Shawn Rigoulot except that states do pass laws that go against federal law. CO, WA, OR, and the rest of the states that made laws for legal use of marijuana did so. Weed still remains federally illegal as a "class one psychoactive substance with no medicinal value."
It is disturbing that we need guides about how to interact with the police in the same way we need guides about how to act when encountering strange, potentially dangerous animals.
Didn't the Supreme Court ruled that anybody has the right to record anything from a public space that they can see what their eye as long as they're on public property they have the right to record anything and everyone you have no expectation of privacy in public
I always knew that police had past criminal records as the retired officer mentioned.
There is no such thing as a good cop in America today.
Please answer this clearly for us:
Does the officer have to tell you what is his reasonable suspicion? Always? Or when you ask? Or not at all?
Nobody explains this.
Andy H, supreme court has stated they(po) can lie to you.
this is an area where I think conservatives and liberals can find common ground
o@@theSimoneCherie yes I do. when BLM and Antifa start spreading out into suburbia and burning down homes and homeowners start shotting them, who do you think the police are going to arrest, certainly not the rioters, theyll be arrestting the people shooting, which will probably be many Americans that have supportted the Blue Live Matter and Thin Blue Line stuff. Police are not conditioned to make judgements on the law. They train that shit right out of them. They are conditioned to enforce the law no matter what.
You can't trust a cop with a gun and badge.
My wife recorded an encounter as a passenger where police pulled them over with zero reason. They were polite to the officers, said very little, gave licences etc, but a second officer came to the passenger window while the other one was away checking things. This officer proceded to tell them to get back to their side of town, grilled them about what they were doing in the area, and insulted them repeatedly, up and down until the other officer returned. This was all recorded on my wife's phone. When they went to listen to it on the ride home, nothing but a short loop of static. We figured out that you may need to carry a digital battery operated recorder because some cops will scramble your recording...which is illegal. BTW, the next day, there was was no record of the the stop-also against the law. None. Hmmm. I wonder why.
This is very informative. My question is has any of our rights since this video came out 6 years changed since then making any of this information non beneficial as of now? Also where can I go to get current information on how to deal with interactions with cops for my state of Mississippi (who has horrible cops) that has been updated recently in case any thing has changed over the years?
16:40 William did not receive an answer to his valid question! In fact the answer he received was extraordinary and a logical fallacy that raises red flags with regard to Mr. Siverman's activities and his actual agenda. William alludes to deep law seldom brought to light that affects Constitutional and individual Sovereign rights. These rights, if understood by the majority, would likely protect the USA from being overthrown by an unnecessarily 'manufactured revolution' that could destroy an otherwise excellent Constitutional system.
The fact that Mr. Silverman chooses, instead of answering the question asked, to undermine the officer's question by diverting from it and instead associating him with criminal activity is BIZARRE.
Any organisation that genuinely seeks to defend and promote Constitutional Rights is to be encouraged but there is also the possibility for any organisation to have ulterior motives. e.g. winding up citizens for purposes other than simply defending their Constitutional rights. e.g. Disgruntled citizens rising up against legitimate 'minor' issues can end up destabilising the entire status quo. I am not saying that Mr. Silverman is doing this - I am merely pointing out that his failure to address the question asked, and the manner that he did so, was peculiar. These are troubled times, we need to be particularly vigilant.
I stumbled upon this video as I was researching 4th amendment issues after being arrested in WI. I have to admit to not being as educated as I should be. I knew that the stop was illegal but I didn't know what to do about it. I very much appreciate you creating the channel and for all the info I have received from it! Thank you
CITIZEN FATALITIES
TOTAL 1,146-(406 UNARMED)
POLICE FATALITIES
TOTAL 56 (12 heart attack)
other 12 (auto accident)
What the policeman at 16.41 was saying is that virtually all traffic statutes in every state are written to control the flow of the only thing the state is allowed to regulate … that would be commerce. Only a commercial for profit ‘driver’ is legally liable for traffic code violations. People are simply suckered in by the police by their immediate ‘request’ for your driver’s license etc. and when you ‘freely’ comply with the REQUEST unchallenged. One of the best things you can do is to clarify on camera at the start of the traffic encounter your declaration that you are not in any way involved in commerce or hire for profit. That should get your ticket dismissed if you fight the ticket. Do your own research first as always.
You Are full of shit. States have plenary authority to regulate all sorts of things. Even the feds have authority to regulate more than just commerce, although they have to tie most of their regulations to commerce to justify them.
Steve you are great. You should be our President, not Trump. Again though, you are too honest.
16:55 That young lad was getting at the fact that driving has a different meaning to travelling etc, that's what that poor guy was trying to say, strictly speaking they are exploiting common law and technically they're not meant to be able to stop you simply travelling, Only of you are "driving" (as in it's for your job ie: truck driver, taxi driver, etc.) I do doubt he was law enforcement, cops don't usually believe in freemans law.
As I recall the officer that called in and emphasize corruption when police dept hired a felon, this is a rather prime example of corruption within a corrupt system.
It is quite unnerving when those horrific things occur cop goes nuts only to find out his background should have disqualified him for the job
This is such a good site. I WILL be getting BAMBUSER. I love the fact the police can take my cell phone and I still win.
This information should be taught in elementary school everyone should know their rights
Im not discussing about my days or nights
They should be teaching this in schools what's wrong that? They teach history but not educate them on their constitutional rights. Specially in black communities other wise history will repeat it's self.
00:32 Steve Silverman was playing Darryl in the other videos!
On the "civil asset forfeiture" law, if a cop steals the cash you have on hand, should you consider that criminal robbery and should the civilian have the right to defend his property by killing the officer as if the officer where a common criminal? Do you think that if enough cops are killed over this, will law makers act more quickly to correct the "law"?
***** That would depend on how much money it is and if it is worth dying for.
I am dirt poor and if they only took a couple thousand, I would not even fight it in court, because it would cost more than that to get it back.
But if I had a couple $Million in cash (and I would be insane to carry that much cash) that would be an entirely different matter.
And I think I disagree a little bit with you on that no law would get repealed. If the encounter was recorded and IF enough cops are justifiably killed I think they would eventually they would get the message and have to back down. Of course I would be long dead and buried, but if that is what it would take....
You have to ask yourself, how many soldiers died to make and keep this country free only for the citizens to complacently turn it over to a tyrannical government?
As citizens we have not only a right but a duty to fight for our freedom from all Enemies, Foreign and Domestic. And any law enforcement officer who executes Asset Forfeitures without "Due Process" is my enemy.
That's not the road to travel But keep it in the media blogs write elected officials get petitions and signitures oetition our law makers alert the media keep it burning and in the face of America there is power in numbers never forget that
sandy Koch But people are suffering now, it will require the actual time and attention of the average disinterested, unwilling, person to become aware of the actual details of injustice, What do you think about paid programming infomercials Can a tv network discriminate legally?
Im watching this LIVE. yeahh :D
pff you got no rights in USA now.
I used to support the blue 💙 but now after some life changing events that have happened i no longer have trust for them so they are loosing support by their own actions 💯
lol the old police officer just talking on for hours on the phone
Thank you for your help. It raises many questions about not only policing but also the person behind the badge. A criminal is one who has done an injustice towards others, why does a badge change that? Why do they keep getting away with crimes against the people? One other thing, I see numbers to call for citizens rights, why do you have different numbers for different political parties? Are the laws different from Republican to Democratic to Independents? Are we really that separated if so what’s next banking, healthcare? History hasn’t taught us anything? Nothing good comes from a separated nation except damage from hatred.
THANKS FOR THAT ASTUTE OBSERVATION. OH YEAH! MANY EFFECTIVE LEVELS OF SELECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT.
I have a question with video evidence proving your rights were violated and with no money acquire a attorney not controlled by bar policy .
I will split the lawsuit money and i have case law proving no will intent
I drive truck. I pay 35$ a mo. To an organization of lawyers that defends me in any state without my presence in court in most cases. Why isn't this service available for the general public?
Homeschoolers do through HSLDA and some gun owners Association in case you defend yourself from intruders and criminals and get arrested for defending with you weapon.
I think there are a few other legal organizations but it is sad that there isnt anything someone can join yo have lawyers retained for criminal, law suits, wills and living wills, trust fund setups and other legal necessities
When u say No..the make up a reason?? I am no cop hater ...but ..When u say "NO"...they will find a way..
Ignorance of the law is no reason for the police to unlawfully arrest someone.
with some of the laws we have the law isn't always something they should be arrested for
Unlawfully must be proven in court. What do you want to do? Be right and possibly be beaten or do what the rogue officer is demanding then either prove in court the unlawful acts of the PO after arrested?
This channel just came over my feed because over the past few hours I have been looking upour constitutional rights and according to the DMV and according to the Constitution and things like that we as the people who are not who do not work for any corporations do not need to get driver's license,tags or registrations for our own personal vehicles because we are not a part of any corporation that pays us for driving. I believe that's what the officer in Maryland was trying to ask. If you go on the website freedomfromgovernment.org there are books and all kinds of wonderful things that tell you the truth about our rights
I'm from Uruguay, here the judges when find a lie from a police officer they just rule the man is not fit for the job, so if the police report is false any one who sign below is not longer fit to be a police officer for this is so important to film police.
You just can do a law like this there and the police automatically become better.
Police officers aren't confused about this law, they know what it is. They are given the liberty to tell lies to come up with reasons to arrest or even simply contact someone and they know exactly when they are telling lies. It's not an accident to tell a lie. If they don't know the law, then they can't possibly know someone might be about to commit a crime, is committing a crime, or has just committed a crime therefore they cannot detain you. There really isn't a fine line there in reality, but they have been given that gray area and it should be taken away.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL & EFFECTIVE TOTAL REMOVAL OF LAW ENFORCEMENT LYING MIGHT MAKE THE UNITED STATES A DEMOCRACY AGAIN?
Ah, "ignorance of the law is not an excuse" only applys to the residents of this great nation, not the ones payed to uphold the law.
If that's not ironic, I dont know what is.
Bambuser sounds great except its 45 dollars a month and the subscription is for one year and must be paid in full at purchase.. so for the low low price of $540 dollars you can protect yourself with Bambuser.... This is great for the rich kids who never get bothered by Cops... and its great for rich attorneys and the folks living in Central Park East.. However for the rest of us, 45 bucks a month for the ability to stream live video from our phone is kind of expensive when a smart phone subscription is anywhere from 50 bucks {if you own the phone} up to 200 a month for the newest Apple offerings with a 2 year subscription.... This awesome technology gets expensive real quick for people making under 20 bucks an hour...
There are a lot of free apps ow that can send live to net storage. I think the ACLU also has a free app which will send the video directly to web and ACLU so it can be reviewed for violations of your rights.
Bambuser is free, though the company has an app that requires a subscription called Iris.
any money out of law suits should come directly from police officers themselfs...
If they violate my rights they not going to have the money I'm coming for 🤑
Mississippi, If that is LE there
I will avoid the state like the plague.
This lawyer must know, that the US, Inc. court system operates under admiralty law and the officers comment was correct about drivers license being part of a commercial commerce system operating outside of the Constitution.
Sovereign citizen bs.
@@tifforo1 cops are the only sovereign criminals I mean citizens.
NOTICE how inarticulate the so-called law enforcement are at asking Mr Silverman questions and, how articulate citizens are
26:25 .... Way smarter than these dufuses on screen.... Edit I jumped the gun, Even though all defense attorneys directly or indirectly are part of the system. This one is better than most, I'd actually hire this guy!
I'm confused. So you can only "openly" record police officers... but what does that entail? Do you have to say it or can you just record them where the phone is clearly visible? Because how are you supposed to notify the officers involved that you're recording the arrest/investigation/beating that doesn't involve you interfering with an investigation?
mossy1 If you make the recording device (cellphone/whatever) visible, that is all you should need to do. Don't try to hide the device under a jacket or conceal it in any way. The officers are likely to realize you're recording them and may say something to you. At this point, you can do as instructed within the video. You don't need to inform the officers you are recording them directly but don't try to hide this fact either.
RubberusDuckus I know what your saying is confirmed by what Silverman said in the video. However, the future may not be exclusive to smart phones. More people are installing dash cams that record police encounters as well as the road while driving. Those dash cams are hands free, so it may not be so obvious to officers that they're being recorded. And to announce that your filming can alert cops who have a nefarious intent to violate the detainee's rights outside the camera's view. I would love to see the courts embrace surreptitious recordings made in public.
They want to be informed of filming so they don't get egg on their face. If you just keep you camera in your cup holder and they don't know its recording, the world will hear his aggression when you assert your rights. If you show him the camera they will behave 99% of the time. That rule exists only to save the police from embarrassment.
CaliforniaArchitect You're absolutely right and I've been looking into getting a front and rear camera system for my vehicle too. I'd like one that can rotate with me when/if I'm outside the vehicle, just to be a little extra secure. (Link it via bluetooh and hit a switch to rotate freely.)
There is a drone that will actively follow you around as well. Having one of those on top of your vehicle could come in handy when needed.
mossy1 Openly means in open view of the police officer. Don't hide or conceal the camera because if the video surfaces on youtube and you never told the officer he was being recorded then it is possibly a violation of that officers privacy because he may have incriminated himself. It is like the DUI check points where you are driving down the road and get flagged over to be checked for DUI. The Supreme Court held that the agency conducting the DUI stop MUST publicize in advance in the newspaper or in a news broadcast the location, date and time the stops will be conducted. So, in order to not violate your rights and entrap you, you must be given advance notice. In the recording of police, same principle. So openly simply means, out in the open, not in your pocket or hidden.
Am i being detained or am i free to go
the police in all countries operate in admiralty rule of the sea,this is what confuses the masses.we think we live in common law. knowing there are actively piracy,maritime admiralty, look at court rooms, in magi straits, you go in the DOCK and a BAILIFF.
they have a gold trim flag this is the symbol for admiralty , hence the term false flags, not your country flag.
Policy(police)job description prosecution witness for the courts, but the constable has power of discreteness,
Vehicle stops are an easy way to fun the system, and many statute act bills are not crime , just infractions of a statute act BILL
Hi,
are there any laws being pass for police officers to have a head cam at all times?
Sure the hell should be If each one of us petition in our particular city to their officials maybe we can get the ball rolling
Why does it seem like the majority of police officers calling in seemed drunk? Just asking
This is SO important for every person to know. But to be honest - African Americans have hardly any rights in this nation. Just look at the stats:www.juancole.com/2014/02/inequality-america-sentencing.html
Also, PD's are encouraged to make a quota of ONE ARREST PER DAY. They are Creating Crime!
Don't get yourself killed BUT GET A LAWYER OR PUBLIC DEFENDER AND DONT JUST ROLLOVER AND TAKE IT YOU HAVE MAYORS COUNCILMEN CONGRESSMMEN THE NAACP JESSIE JACKSON USE EVERY AVENUE YOU CAN RIGHT IS RIGHT WRONG IS WRONG
Yes, Film the Police. No Justice No Peace. We'll continue to fight for peace. Sorry, for my wrong attitude. I apologize.
madebutante Don't be sorry turn all those strong feeling and go get right those wrongs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
African Americans have all rights under the constitution, whether their rights are violated is another question.
I once bought a car that had a gun ,a police vest and one of those pot crushing devices in the trunk under the spare tire. I had the car for FOUR years and had no clue they were there. I only found out when I had a flat tire on the highway
I assume the Officer on the phone asking about commercial rights to drive on the roadways is from "enter county here" one of the most corrupt counties, and proceed to talk about an on foot interactions.
hate mongers at their best here boys
How this group doing these days?? Business should be booming...Are you guys BARS associated?
On the 3rd caller( the DC county officer )
This fella answering the questions, evaded the question. I believe he knew exactly what the officer was saying!
It's constitutional law and backed by the supreme court. Right to TRAVEL. Many court RULINGS saying the same.
No license required ☝️
No REGISTRATION required ☝️
No forced insurance ☝️
Can be placed upon the people of America.
Only commercial vehicles are required to follow these statutes to operate on the road ways. It's for PROFIT. If you buy the product you become owner of property; that's a different matter.
This would fall under you TRAVELING.
Not driving. Your transporting your own property.
Which is legal.
Reasons for police pulling public over.
Driving erratically as to cause harm to others ☝️
Running stop SIGNS are red lights ☝️
Not yielding ☝️
Suspect in a crime ☝️
Damage to property ☝️
ACCIDENT ☝️
These stops police are inflicting on the people; are only mint for commercial vehicles only!
Unless as mentioned above!
People these RULINGS have been the same from 1864 to 2019 and can not change!☝️🇺🇸🤔
THIS IS YOUR RIGHT 🇺🇸
TAKE BACK YOUR STATES;
REVOKE YOUR CONSENT TO CONTRACT WITH GOVERNMENT!

Why did u pull me over
Does goin to jail for 51 days for an Antique firearm constitute breaking the 2nd Amendment? The Law Of being charged with Unlawful possession of a FireArm? Having the law state CLEARLY ""Shall not apply to an Antique Firearm""?
I like to excert the 5th
