- I CAN NO LONGER MAIL OUT KNOW YOUR RIGHTS CARDS. I am so happy that so many people want to know their rights when having a police encounter. When I made the offer in these videos to send these cards to anyone that asked, I thought very few folks would be watching the videos and that I might get 10 requests per week at the most. However, I have been inundated with requests for these cards, getting over 100 requests per day. There is no way I could keep up with all the requests unless I made it my full-time job and working lots of overtime.
Accordingly, there is no way I can send cards to all that ask. I apologize for this. I will send cards out to residents of Oklahoma. For those that live in other states outside of Oklahoma, it is best to have a card from a local attorney. If you do get in a bind with the police, you are going to need a local attorney. You can also purchase cards that are very similar to mine from the ACLU: shop.aclu.org/Know-Your-Right... NORML also has some cards that you can print out on their website: norml.org/legal/item/freedom-card Here is another web page that has cards in several different languages that can be printed out: cliniclegal.org/resources/kno...
In this inaugural episode of Know Your Rights, I discuss the three BIG THINGS you need to know about your Constitutional rights.
very good. I am a lawyer and he's got it right. 1) always ask, "am I free to leave". keep on saying it. 2) I object to searches, I object to being arrested, I object to being detained. Whatever the police want to do, object to it; 3) if they reach for the tazer, say "I have a heart problem and you cannot Taze me" doesn't matter if you don't have a heart problem, if they Taze you, you will, plus a whole lot more problems. Women can say they are pregnant. I think I may be pregnant and you cannot Taze me. A woman can be between 12 and 90 and you can say this. 4) I do not answer questions, I do not answer questions over and over.
I cut it down a little bit because I don't want to have to explain myself. As you well know, cops are not the sharpest tools in the shed. As a matter of fact, they are often the dullest. Anyways, this is usually how it goes for me.
#1. Do you know why I stopped you?
#2. I don't answer questions.
#3. Where ya' headed?
#4. What part of "I don't answer questions" don't you understand.
JoAnne Denison lol, a RUclips lawyer maybe
+C.S. Smith I want to support and emphasize 1 point. Recording is so lame, straight out of the 80s. LIVE STREAMING IS THE ANSWER. Police DO try to delete recordings, so get your phone encrypted.
❤️✅️🎯💯
Remember that phrase “outside the normal traffic stop”. Unless you have an attorney on speed dial, or you actually have something to hide, don’t antagonize cops.
our daughter was 16 in a car accident. The police dept called me because she refused to answer any questions. when i got there she as sitting on the curb. i walked up asked police was there anything else needed from her, he said she would not give a statement? Correct she is not required to and knows her rights. She handed them insurance card and DL. She texted me immediately. YES, she listened to us.
I love how this guy is using a sword to teach this presentation
I was thinking the same thing this guy is amazing!
Hell yeah! I think I am in love also
I'm not sure I want to get his point.
It's a bayonet.
That's actually a bayonet. The round hole in the hand guard is for attaching it to the end of a rifle. 😀
The one thing we need to know and yet school doesn't teach it. Wonder why??? The government says you have to send your kids to school, they decide what is taught to your child.
@@algrayson8965 What fun is that?
Had to look this up after the crap that’s going on with this Epidemic
This is how i say it:
1. I do not consent to searches of any kind
2. I do not answer questions without a lawyer present
3. Am i being detained or am i free to go?
then you goto jail for wasteing the publics money time over a video and only harressing cops for Lawsuits, leave them alone and sell your ammo in the sticks, not in a park and get away with it,. yall fucked
I hate slaves like you...just bcuz you willingly allow other human beings to order you around, doesn't mean the rest of us have to. No man is above me, no man has authority over me.
Ryan Smith learn how to spell you uneducated piece of shit!
Adam Grizzly Damn right!
Excellent response...I cut it down a little bit because I don't want to have to explain myself. As you well know, cops are not the sharpest tools in the shed. As a matter of fact, they are often the dullest. Anyways, this is usually how it goes for me.

This man is so obviously tired of his clients NOT doing these three things that he decided that his best course of action is to try and teach the entire nation! 😂
As a young adult who is abt to get my own place and start driving this is what i needed
Gotta love it! Right outta the box with Dio, big burly beard, pointing with kick ass dagger and no long disclaimer about "not legal advice blah blah blah!" I'm gonna watch the rest!
This should be taught in school. So many youngsters coming out of school not knowing their rights.
School is so useless.
Spend hours of time worrying over algebra homework that is not at all aplicable in daily life, but we wont tell you your rights, how to pay taxes, anything actually usefull.
Jay, I am a 1st amendment auditor and activist. I'm linking all of your videos on my RUclips channel! This kind of work is dependent on knowing your rights! I'm going to be spreading your videos and recommending your channel to thousands of Auditors around the country. We are currently trying to set up a non-profit fund to help with court costs and bail etc. For auditors who are wrongfully arrested. Any suggestions on that subject would be greatly appreciated. We're getting attorneys all over the country lined up to help us😎🤘👍💪
Dude, you're literally my favorite lawyer ever. Even better than Saul Goodman. Your a badass. I actually want to get pulled over just so I can assert my rights like a boss. The words " I want to get pulled over " have never been uttered in that order by me EVER
I like how he mocks the pigs 😂
😂😂 "the pigs" I like it.
@@mattjr4206 💀😂💀😂
Thank you so much for doing this! I was telling my mother earlier today how this is so important. The government and police illegally mess with people in all sorts of way. Thank you so much for your time. ❤
Even you're afraid of upsetting the police or drawing suspicion on yourself, consider this... This advice is EXACTLY what police officers, attorneys, judges, etc. give to their own grown children.
I love this man for a few reasons...for helping people know their rights, for using a small sword as his pointer (lmfao), his adorable handwriting, and that amazing beard. Keep up the good work brother.
Having listened to this attorney make his pitch, how would you like to hear some real world truth? I have been arrested, and beaten by the police, for insisting on a search warrant for my apartment. Then they took my keys, let themselves in, and searched my apartment. I spent about 27 hours in jail, and had to spend a bunch of money on an attorney to fight thru 2 court cases to keep me out of jail. Constitutional rights are great, but they don't mean squat on the street. Even the judge would not let my attorney talk about Constitutional rights and search warrants in the trial, told us that he would find us in contempt and throw us (my attorney and I) in jail if we raised that topic.
These video attorneys can rant and posture all that they want. But the bottom line truth is that they will not be there when you have to deal with the police on the street and you try to stand up for your rights. And you don't have to have broken any laws to be arrested. Yeah, the attorney will be happy to take your case and represent you in court, as long as you are paying their hourly rate.
Another harsh truth that you will probably learn? The truth and justice are not the same thing. Think about that one for a while.
You made a mistake hiring an attorney. If you fought it yourself and counter sued you could have won.
@@texasfossilguy One lesson that I have learned long ago, and this applies especially when opposing C&C Denver attorneys, (but I suspect would apply in any case where it is a private citizen vs the municipality) is that if you represent yourself in court it will not matter whether you are guilty or not, (right or wrong) you will be found guilty of whatever you have been accused of. In this instance Denver was offering 10 days if I would agree to plead "No Contest" (credit for the one day already served awaiting for bail to be processed, probably have to serve 6 more with good behavior). Why would I ever agree to any kind of plea? Especially if I didn't break any laws? Especially if that deal included time behind bars? That was to big of a risk in my opinion to try and represent myself again.
If I had tried to represent myself, C&C Denver was bound and determined to have me spend some time in jail. The DA had come in to the courtroom and had a private conference with the judge right before the trial commenced to explain how they (Denver) needed me found guilty of something/anything so that I could not sue them for police brutality. That was why the judge would not allow us to raise the issue of constitutional rights and no search warrant. Denver was also gambling that I would not be able to afford to pursue this case beyond district court where they could influence the outcome. On that count they were right, I did not have the means to finance additional legal fighting. If you are poor, then justice does not apply to you as much as if you have money.
So in short, no. Hiring an attorney actually did keep me out of jail. And several months later at a separate trial when Denver tried to have my seized property condemned, that same attorney was able to force Denver to return that property.
And for the record, the seized property was a legally sawed off shotgun.
That’s why you invest in cameras my dude.
NeoCreo this was in 1988, before cameras. Also my arrest and beating happened out in the apt. building’s hallway, so that affects things as well.
big K Oof, yeah. Not much recourse in that situation.
Nah. mans really pulled out a sword
A bayonet.
God Bless America and people like you who are true patriots of America protecting what makes this country what it is. Thank you.
There is no god. Period. The US is going south. Healtcare is a joke. Sharks and clowns are ruling this country. Greed is destroying all this nation ever stood for.
I just have to commend you for being such an awesome person. You even selflessly offered to send the information at your expense! I am just beyond impressed man, thank you so much for you being you!
I happen to live in Tulsa. So, just be clear. . . If I ask, "Are you detaining me?", I point the little sword at the police officer. But if I ask, "Am I free to go?", I wave good-bye with the little sword? Ok! Got it!
If a police officer even tried to take my cat, I'm getting locked up because I don't play that shit.
😂
I love that he using a sword as a pointer lol
Big warning at 5:44 do not use NO before saying I do not consent to searches. It could be misconstrued. Thus to the question : Can I search you car? Refrain from an enthusiastic NO. Just say I do not consent to searches. Very tricky... Thanks for posting.
What a gem! He is educating the masses in a simplistic manner with his own style. What an outstanding individual! #swordgang
If you consent to searches they can sesrch anywhere. If they have a warrent they are limited to the items listed. Makes a big difference especially if they're looking for a person. They can't look in you're jewelry box for a grown man.
this is a very informative video as these situations happened to me as a 24 yr old. Cops pulled up on me while i was sitting in my car eating a burger and drinking a shake. They proceeded to ask me every single question you mentioned in this video. At the time i didn't know my rights so i went along with it and they searched every inch of my car and work bags... and when they couldn't find anything they called in a k9 unit to further search the car. I had to stand in front of the police cruiser while an officer pointed a gun at my face telling me not to run or else they'd shoot. They even took the burger i had and tossed it on the ground. After they still found absolutely nothing they were like "you're free to go " and they drove the hell off. No explanation. No apology. I felt so violated, i just drove home crying. All because i simply didn't know my rights being young. That was about 9 years ago.
One indispensable right, predicated on the Fourth Amendment, that he omits: "You can't seize anything from me--phone, camera, car, bike, backpack, merchandise, containers--without a search warrant or subpoena."
Only search warrant.
I need a “ ruler” like his!!! Possibly others would really take me more serious!!😄 That’s so awesome!!
Very good, we're greatly indebted to you for your time and effort in trying to educate us on asserting our constitutional rights during police encounters.
I'm so mad about my cat being locked in jail because she didn't consent to a search. I'm still trying to pay her bail.
Jokes aside, there are more and more cops surfacing that they really don't care about any of this. Camera or no, they'll force themselves on you, threaten you and overall abuse their power. Also you sound like you can do a kickass hank hill impression.
This is old news, but now everyone has a smart phone.. even teens
@@ashleyosorio8452 The violence isn't what's new. Smartphones are.
That's why this is more important than you realize you are losing your rights and freedom everyday a lot of good men and women died so you can have these rights don't let them go to waste
15 turning 16 learning my rights woot woot
You have much courage. Sending a prayer up for you and your loved ones to be safe and secure. Many swine won’t like you posting this. Please believe you helped many people just by doing so. Shalom
Peace and love to you and all of my wonderful people
The police sure are forgetting these rights now ...👀
Thank you , you are a real American . Its about doing the right thing first . Then we need to find a way to get these outlaws out of the laws system .
I want to genuinely thank you for what you do i always tell people that when i feel that they help and save people instead of ruining their lives.
I love your genuine concern for people and how you offered to pay for the postage, Just so they can be prepared. As a mail man, knowing how postage can add up that’s just awesome. I salute you sir.. thank you for your service and your dedication. Take care. God Bless you and your profession.
Yes sir.. and Why does that matter? Is he teaching you how to defend yourself from a Mail Carrier? NO! sir, he’s talking about handling yourself in an incident regarding (Law Enforcement) Not sure why it meant so much for you to point that out. God bless you brotha.
As George Carlin points out in his flawless logical way "you don't have rights in this country" ! RIP George
if you don't know your rights, you have none. cops will do what they want regardless. then you decide to sue and get paid for violating your rights (if you know how which everyone should learn) or sit back and bitch about it. www.kickassincourt.com
Parpi Mehrabi
So true, but what can U do?
I can't move to a new country. I have no riches. Only country I've known is this shithole.
If I say I don't consent to a search they will taser me & go right ahead with it. PERIOD! And they will say that I gave consent. Traffic stops are a tool they use cause there literally is no rules for them.
We have a Republic, if we can keep it. Right now it's on life support.
I'm drawing up a personal body cam that's unnoticeable and easy to activate as soon as you encounter the fuzz, this product needs to be in everyone's hands
Gene, what body cam is that?? Anytime I encounter them and start recording, they do their damndest to turn it off. I would love to record them and not have it disrupted by them???
you can never talk yourself OUT of trouble you can only talk yourself INTO trouble never talk to cops.
+michael mooney agree!!
even if you didn't F up don't answer any questions. I'm 56 and I would call my daddy.
Promise to pay

The Good Lord gave is 2 ears & 1 mouth- try n use them accordingly!!
I am still a minor but I feel its important to know my rights, but I just wanted to remind you that not all cops are bad. Just yesterday my dad, brother, and I met a police officer at a gun store. He was really nice and joked around with the employees and my dad. He was a good guy.
I'm also a minor. I advise you to educate yourself on how our rights are slowly being taken away from us.
they are human beings, not all human beings are bad.
but when any authoritarian figure approaches you thats when you should be defensive and practice your rights.
remember, when they approach you, they had plenty of time planning their approach and they try to catch you off guard like a deer in the headlights so your weak and vulnerable.
That isnt how it works, im a minor too. When I say all cops are bastards I mean they're all part of the same rotten system, not that they're bad people individually. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch, and the police force is a basket with several dozen bad apples in it.
Sure, that cop may have acted nice, but he's still probably going to work everyday, joking around with people that joined the force to abuse power and kick civilian's asses, arresting people on marijuana/ drug charges, etc.
@@algrayson8965 This, this right here.
Seriously this guy needs more recognition.
*Better Call Ramsey!*
How to get your window broke. Dragged out of your car,tased ,slammed to the ground. Arrested,raped in jail,and have to bond out ,but you got your rights! The patriot act stripped you of your rights .
10:59 best line! if I ever need a lawyer, this is the guy I’m gonna seek. Keeps it real! Thanks for the lesson, very informative
Love you man as native American they always target me and event hough they always get away with it
I'm so happy to get educated. I'm at 33 yrs old and am being harassed by a officer and neighbor but no one does anything. Even lawyers do nothing. I have now spent over 4 grand in legal fees for my innocence. And am so tired I wish I would have taken that money and moved. He's even taken my puppy. I live here in a nightmare right now afraid to let my children play outside.
Loving the bayonet pointer. Friggin awesome!
I know my rights yet I still been slammed on the ground. Then they start twisting your arm. Then they say quit resisting. And I can go on and on
Yes sir experienced that myself for doing fuck all going to get a charger for my phone one night from my own truck in a private parking lot of my own apartments. Then they tried for 30 mins to break into my truck to conduct an illegal search.
There is no such thing as law. "Law" is an agreement between the government and the "Rich"(powers that be) to control the masses.
You sir are amazing!! Thank you so much for this video.
Number one starts at 4:00
Come back mr Ramey! We need more teaching, I really enjoy learning the law and my rights how to teach. Hope all is well!
Sure would have been good to know this before I was pulled over! I screwed up royally on all 3!!
Should include ..... "always record every encounter with Police". Not too many years ago, we didn't have smart phones. Record every time, and stay safe.
Him impersonating the officers is the funniest most on par shit i ever heard in my life
Love it. I am getting sick of this police state I am so sick of cops lying about everything they do. They are worse and worse every yr. Everyone needs to stop being sheep and letting there scare tactics put fear in citizens.
Hype Hillbilly wut
Thank your sir... may God richly bless you😩🤗..... I would love one of those cards
After reading a lot of the comments below I just want to say WOW! Scary what people will do with honest information. Thank you for the video, I subscribed.
These are pretty much my thoughts exactly. What the hell's wrong with people. You give the cops an inch they're going to take a mile.
Not to mention that they dont know shit unless you tell them!! No matter what they say or how much it sounds like they already what u have done.
He has a Facebook page. Jay k Ramey attorney at law. I like it.
@@russr5128 good lookin out yo!
On top of the information, I Love the bayonet !
All I want to say is thank you for this videos. U can't imagine how many people u r educating about their rights! Many innocent people get harassed and r accused for something that they have not done, especially the minorities. Again thank you very much! U deserve the respect of all the people because u r helping people, simply, they don't know their rights and u r reducing the chances of the bullies.
I think everyone is a minority to rhe cops now days
Cooperation or honesty with cops never helped anyone. Truthful responses are always used to arrest and incriminate. "Make no statement to the police under any circumstances." --Justice Robert Jackson, distinguished American jurist
This about the 4th5th and the 6th amendments of the supreme law of the land.This is very good advice.
DEAR GOD! I lol'd hard when you made the post it note pun. BUT THEN YOU PULL OUT A DAGGER!!!!!! Hahahaah
Bayonet. Lol 🧐
Great tutorial, thank you. It’s sad how our country has become a police state. Maybe some time you could do one about concealed carry and traveling with a firearm.
For me, I watch a lot of these video's and thought I knew what was going on. Recently I found out just how our rights here in the country are just total bull shit. My stepdaughter got mad at me, said I tried to have sex with her, told her mother and a old busy body woman, and guess what, without, any due process or rights, I was arrested for kidnapping, assault and battery with a deadly weapon. My rights never had anything to do with it, they just said, you are under arrest and where's the guns!!! After nine days in jail, charges dropped and they just said go on your way, after I had lost my wife, which wasn't a bad thing, cause she could have put a stop to it right off the bat, plus I lost most everything I owned... these people were able to say, I was a veteran, I had guns, and I had a willingness to use those guns, and send the police to kill me. What about this??? Nothing was said about that part of it. Funny thing is, I was arrested for trying to have sex with this girl... and I am not able to have fucking sex due to a stroke, and you ask did this matter? Hell no, I was arrested, convicted and jailed just on this girls word!! So, wake up, you have NO rights!!!!
Dann that is fucked up. Sometimes the only "evidence" is the word of the "victim" and it shouldn't be that way. Sorry you had to go through all of that.
Damn that is seriously fucked up glad they drop that shit though but I agree with you 100%
Ianee you are an idiot!!!
ive had to deal with this since 4th grade and because of that, old people have a bad reputation to me
Daniel Jones Step-fathers.... Yeah, they are real believable - NOT. Step-fathers and live in boyfriends are usually there to sexually abuse the kids..
Lmao i love this guy's impersonation of a cop laughing 😃 😂 spot on!
Back in 1976 a cop stopped me and asked to see my ID. I asked him why he needed to see my ID! He said I don't need a reason and hit me with a night stick back of my head! Well with my head injury as a child I blacked out! Came to and there was the cop on the ground with blood coming out of his head! Never did I ever remember what happened? The court let me go with psychological treatment as my punishment! Not even under hypnosis could I remember what I could or could not have done?! No one in the police force liked this cop anyway! So nothing ever was pinned on me, no evidence! Whewww!
They should really teach this in school!! Great job!❤
This is what I have put on a card for police:
All the information on this card is being given under protest &
under duress. All Rights Reserved without prejudice UCC 1-308
I hereby invoke and refuse to waive all rights
including, but not limited to, natural,
unalienable, constitutional and civil rights.
- I invoke and refuse to waive my fifth
amendment right to remain silent and
due process of law.
DO NOT ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS.
-I invoke and refuse to waive my sixth
amendment right to counsel of my choice.
I invoke and refuse to waive my Fourth Amendment right
to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. I do
not consent to any search or seizure of myself, my home,
or of any property in my possession. Do not ask me about
my ownership interest in any property. I do not consent to
this contact with you.
Any statement I make, or alleged consent I give, in response
to your questions is hereby made under protest and under
duress and in submission to your claim of lawful authority
to force me to provide you with information.
Anything you say or do in violation of my Rights, can and
will be used against you in a court of law.
Do you intend to punish me for invoking my protected rights?
I have a heart condition, you can not use a taser on me.
I have it all fit onto a business sized card. Let me know if you would recommend making any changes. Anyone may feel free to copy or use this info as they see fit.
The UCC worthless in the vast majority of police encounters.
I agree they will not understand, but nothing will work with an officer during a stop. UCC might be used after the stop in court. I figured it could not hurt to put it on the card.
My2Cents
The UCC would also be totally worthless in court, there is no commerce being conducted there.
The thought would be to stop any form of contracting. Some people believe that the city police is under a city corporation and they are attempting to enforce a contract you signed when getting a driver's license. You could be totally correct and the UCC may be worthless, but having it on the card does not hurt you either. If there is a chance it might be helpful, why not put it on the card. It should stop anyone from contracting with you.
My2Cents
There is no contract involved in any way, it's the law. Having that on the card hurts you because it shows you are clueless about the law.
thanks dude, ever since we got out of school cause of coronavirus, I totally forgot about these rights, 😭, -June7 it’s going all good me watching this video :) thanks dude
Wow... eye opener. Thanks
He speaks like the nutty professor when he's nervous 🤣i love it!
200 THUMBS DOWN THEY MUST ALL BE TYRANTS MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU
Thank you for posting these videos as a professional in your field. I believe every American should know this information and I plan on watching every video myself.
You're not an American if you listen to this pseudo-lawyer and think you don't have to abide by the police's lawful instructions in this country. You're a TRAITOR.
+jkutyna you a sheep lol
you a sheep. Excellent english there buddy. Well done. I bet you make your parents proud every day with such exemplary language skills.
This is the first video of yours I have watched. We have God given rights. We also have Constitutionally “Protected” rights. And that is a major point. The constitution grants us protection against government interference with those rights.
When he asks if you know why he pulled you over, the correct answer is "my sociology professor told me it is because you can't get laid".
I love your pointer!
If you ever decide to make a in-depth video for 3+ hours long on constitutional rights, I support you and greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
I am so glad i came across your channel......Thank you for educating us.
GREAT ADVICE JAY ! Thank you for your time and knowledge of the rights we still have and NOT TO GIVE THEM UP !
Thank you sir!
What if you are asked to step out of the vehicle ? Do you do so? Also, what if the police officer proceeds to search you without your consent but you are not charged with any crime? What should you do to ensure your civil rights are not violated without repercussion? In other words, how can police officers be held accountable for unlawful activity?
jmoney262 ^
jmoney262 get badge numbers, if they don’t have badge number then identification number (some cops don’t have badge numbers) get their full names and record it. Also ask for their supervisor and explain that your rights are being violated and also file complaints. Good luck
Super cool of you to offer the know your rights cards. God bless you ☺️♥️
Love the series. I've watched this one in particular several times over the past few years but it needs an update to #2. It absolutely does matter how you ask for a lawyer. There's a case out of Louisiana a few years back where a suspect asked for "a lawyer, dawg" and the judge ruled against him in court. If there is any ambiguity the cops will pounce on it. Even saying WANT may be too unclear. Say demand or something like it instead.
Why don't they teach the constitution in schools.
Because they want cops to abuse their power.
.
excellent question, Josh Higgins..I have another: why don't they teach it to the cops? Seriously, I am retired now, but was a Deputy Sheriff for a good while, and can say that NONE of this stuff is even mentioned in the entire time at the CLEET academy before certification...I have only recently been researching this subject, and can vouch that these subjects aren't mentioned in any of the training I attended. Wonder why these cops act like this? They aren't educating themselves and think they know everything already. Do Away With Qualified Immunity for Law Enforcement!!! i live in Oklahoma, also.
Bill Holybee Thanks for your service and honesty sir!
They don't want informed people, they want obedient workers. Why do you think they quit teaching cursive, because the constitution is written in cursive.
Ah, RUclips's thinks I may need to know this. *moves back to Canada*
This started a bit slowly but ramped up quickly. Great facts and energy. Thank you!
Thanks, Jay for taking time out of your day to make this video. We need more people like you, and I look forward to watching future videos. Thanks. again.
Jay, thank you for the series and educating the masses on the basic to God given rights we are born with. We as citizens should be taught these three things in Jr high school, unfortunately we aren't, and most people don't have a clue that ignorance of the law is no excuse. once again thank you. you have a new subscriber as well.
K9 comes in and they have probable cause. That doesn't mean the dog actually smells anything, just gives them the PC they think they need to proceed.
A dog is conducting a search. Do not consent to a search. It will come down in court an OFFICERS interpretation of what a dog did and why. Any lawyer will get that tossed out.
If the police are questioning you and asking to search your property or person you're ALREADY doing things the hard way.
I had the exact situation happen to me pulled over for a blown headlight i noticed it when i left the shop for the night after everywhere was closed to go buy bulbs and out of courtesy it was a low beam out rather than ride with my hugh beams on i did dim my hugh beams when passing or riding behind anyone and sure as hell there comes a cop he stops me in a spot with an embankment on the passenger side so i was only able to pull about half way off the road he comes to the passenger window and the conversation went something like this
Officer: do you know why i stopped you ?
Me: played stupid no i do not
Officer: youve got a headlight out and you signaled EARLY to make your turn (blown headlight messing with my depth perception)
Me: ok
Officer: you got your license on you ?
Me : yes
Officer: ok do you have any guns drigs or BOMBS in here that i need to know about
(Knowing i have a loaded handgun under my seat i said )
Me: there is nothing in my truck that you need to be concerned with (because Georgia is not a state where you have to admit you have a gun with you BUT if later he did come up with some reason to search he cant say i lied to him because i didnt say no there are no guns )
Officer : ok ill be right back
Comes back this time to the drivers side with a headlight warning mind you we are in the middle of a 2 lane state highway at about 11:30 at night so he is now basically standing on the yellow lines
Officer: can you step out and sign this for me
(In my head fuckin great here we go)
Me : yessir no problem

He looked like a deer in the headlights without saying another word i got back in the truck and drove away i watched him standing there in the middle of the road in my mirror as i drove away for i kid you not atleast 5-10 seconds
Rodriguez VS United States 2015 a traffic stop may not be extended after the citation or warning has been issued know your rights !
Thankyou for this video and what you do!
All it takes for a officer to get a search is to say I smell marijuana. Then what?
That doesn’t mean it’s coming from your car
Good video, and I agree with you 100%! I was a police officer for over 24 years, then Workers Comp sent me to college, when a line of duty injury put me on the disability list. I became a paralegal, graduating at the top of my class, however what attorney in his right mind would hire a disabled former police chief who is over 50 years of age. A total wast of time, but it was a fun 2 years, and I learned a lot that would have been very useful if I had been able to get back to work as a cop. Now I am (presumed) retired by the bureau, they cut my paycheck in half, but still we have enough to return to our winter quarters at an RV park in Arizona. Anyhow getting back to your video, I loved it, wish I could get one of your cards, because people are always asking me about such things when they learn of my background, and they would save me countless hours trying to explain to just plain common nomads what they should do if they have an encounter with law enforcement, no matter what the circumstance. By the way, love the bayonet!
Jerry Ericsson not really a waste of time, what about to educate people?
how many American citizens got their rights violated .
@ Jerry, yeah why not be a teacher or something? Surely your age wouldn't affect getting hired in education.
That's too bad. You have a lot to offer especially to a criminal defense law firm. What about working for an insurance company in the claims department as an investigator. In other words, please don't give up. Your experience, training, education and age are valuable asserts.
Jerry Ericsson bullshit
Lol you can tell he just wants to SPEW everything out about ALL things that I'm sure he finds bullshit about law lol. I love this guy.
I'm a former Deputy Sheriff...You rock Sir & thanks for informing the public..Much love.
You had me at "dagger pointer"
I'm going to make these videos until I get tired or die I like that mindset brother keep up the good work shalom
You seem to be a pretty good lawyer. Very friendly. A lot of people don't know this, or just forget it when they get in front of the police because of intimidation. Thanks for the reminder!
Thank you very much for making these videos. I try to explain to people all the time that they need to stand up for their rights during police encounters. It's surprising how many people do not even know their basic rights as a U.S. citizen and unknowingly forfeit their rights by not asserting them.
