I like that you acknowledge that, if the cop in question decides to make your life hard and refuses to leave/forces his way in without any sort of exigent circumstance or justification, there's actually NOTHING you can do about it, and the best thing to do is remain polite and keep asking him to leave and don't make him mad...because, you know, he'll probably assault you and arrest you because you didn't let him break the law and invade your property for no reason. The police are not your friends
You can call the police police, the RCMP. They do have the authority to arrest police officers, and they do, on occasion. Have their local phone number in your phone, dialling 911 won't get you the Mounties, just more local dipshit cops. After calling them, and describing how you are under duress, call the duty Sgt at their prescient. Describe your concerns and request his presence immediately to "take control of these two jerks". Mention the RCMP have dispatched a unit to you. The local police Sgt now knows he will be questioned about what conduct is acceptable by his officers.... The RCMP have a reputation of being absolute dicks with other police officers. They are instilled with the belief that they must always present as near perfect as possible as they, by virtue of moral superiority granted to them for having shinny shoes, for example. I've heard stories of officers reporting other officers for not shaving, for an unironed uniform, for taking a personal call during work hours. That's what "maintain the right" looks like. Everyone hates them and they do certainly hate each other. And they do despise bad cops

You obviously need to watch this video on the Rebel channel; BC Law Society's unmarked grave debate proves 'denialism' accusations have gone too far. More than half of BC lawyers struck down Resolution 3, an amendment correcting unverified claims of 'unmarked graves' in BC Law Society course materials.
cops are permitted to lie during their job. They only are required to be truthful in court. We know the thin blue line is made up of lies and deceit...
You are the smartest Lawyer to start a channel like this for Canadians to help us out when it comes to dealing with the Police. I've subscribed a while back and I always like your videos. Thank you so much!!
Many cops will say they have an anonymous complaint as a reason for trespassing on your property. How can you make them prove that they in fact have a real bonified complaint which would justify their actions.
All of the information pertaining to the “call” / “incident” is all catalogued which can be accessed through a Freedom of Information request. This would show who the complainant is(not in all cases), a reason for the call and info on the Officers actions/observations. Every incident generates an incident number and is automatically catalogued with all of this info
I'm sure they have a way to prevent ATIP requests. Something like giving an excuse that it's an "active investigation". They'll also make up some BS charges against you so you have to spend a fortune on a lawyer. The system is set up in a way to make average people lose or give up. You won't be able to navigate their maze without legal representation. And that all depends on how much money you got. And they know it.
hahaha !! I burst out laughing when you said "most are honest". C'mon...we deal with reality, not disney fantasy. I had 5 on my door asking questions, I said I don't answer questions...the they did the ol' "What was your name again ?" crap. I laughed and shut the curtains. They kicked rocks for 10 minutes all confused...... then left.
I had a situation where the OPP from Wiarton, On. broke into my home and beat me for no reason other than they were clueless. This was after I polietly advised them they were not allowed into the home. My wife was terrified of them. After being run through a corrupt court in Owen Sound and found guility because the judge refused to listen, I was found guility. I appealed immediatly. The Appeals Court sided with me and over ruled the Criminal Court saying the cops had no right to enter the property and I had the right to use whatever force deemed necessary to remove the cops from the property. To make matters worse, this resulted from our neighbour kidnapping my daughter. Our justice system has a long way to go before it is just.
During COVID my friend was on his way to my place, at some point during his driving he went onto the should of the road. he corrected his driving and went about his merry way. After he notices a car following him. He turned off onto a dirt road, car follows him. He texts me this and I tell him to just come over and if the car follows him to my place we'll confront the driver. He pulls onto the yard and the car following him stops at an intersection and just watches us watching him. couple of minutes pass RCMP pull up beside the car and then come onto my yard. This was followed by another 3 RCMP vehicles and a police cruiser from a town 15 minutes from where I live. RCMP approach us asking who driver is of my friends car. He says he's the owner. So the cops accuse him of drinking and driving. Searched his car, did all the test and he's clean as a whistle. I looked at the town cop and say "You sure brought a lot of fire power for this."
turdeaus gestapo brought a whole lot of thugs because they wanted a confrontation so that they could beat ,tase and handcuff this guy and you as an accomplice.
I suspect that a lot of cities have too many police, and need to justify their existence by looking for things to do. So that the police budget keeps going up and up and up.
I've told RCMP to leave me alone at home numerous times in different places I have lived at. The real problem is where they insist on the basis of exigent circumstances by claiming a (bogus) phone call about an emergency happening inside of your home. They did this to me a few months ago in the middle of the night and threatened to charge me with obstruction if I refused to open the door. They claimed that "common law" gave them the right to do so. I had little choice but to comply while they pointlessly handcuffed me and raided my closets looking for an alleged mass shooting in my apartment. It was scary and the only thing that really saved me was that I made it clear that I had multiple cameras recording the entire ordeal. They have so far refused to comply with my ATIP on this incident as well. Obviously they were trampling my rights but the reality is that the burden gets placed on you to hire a legal team and fight them in court to get obstruction charges dropped, and they know if you can afford it or not.

Finally a great RUclips channel including Canadian law. Question... I was riding my unmodified motorcycle not breaking any traffic laws, and minding my own business. When for no reason I was stopped by police to pull over to a side street for a motorcycle only sound check on my exhaust. I felt my rights were violated could I have refused, and taking it to court???
I live in small town BC. There was a female RCMP that was constantly pulling my buddies son over in his jacked up Chevy pickup. During one of those pullovers, he finally asked her why she kept pulling him over... "For your safety." was her reponse. Somehow he got on her wrong side and the harassment ended once she got transferred out of town.
"You have to let them in." No, you have to not interfere with their search. You don't have to assist them. For example, you don't have to go unlock your door and show them in, just stay out of the way. They may have to break it down, or get a locksmith and open it, but then they would have no recourse to say that the search was voluntary now, would they? So if it turns out their search warrant was invalid, they have no defense.
When you say "most" cops are honest, I must respectfully disagree. In my own experience, as a peaceful man, I've seen the majority of police officers I've encountered act without regard for rights, often abusing their positions to do so. I've seen unwarranted beatings, lies, false testimony under oath, unprofessional and rude behavior bordering on bullying - I could go on. And I'm not a criminal, simply a spectator caught up in their actions. There's an infestation of corruption and lack of accountability, which in turn undermines the public trust. Until this is addressed, there's no "most" of them being honest. When you're in a gang, you're guilty by association. They are a gang.
I second this. I refuse to believe “most” are good. We’ve seen the leaked chats. We all know a cop or a friend of a cop that brags or jokes about overstepping. “Most” are NOT honest. Lies.
A couple of weeks back, the RCMP and the BC Conservation officers raided a home in Richmond, BC. They had the road in front of the house blocked off for a block in each direction and had 4 or 5 vehicles parked out front for several hours. Turns out a few days later they said they were searching for a deer that was taken out of season several hundred miles away. Would be interesting to know where they got their info from...
CAN YOU TELL THE COPS TO GET OFF YOUR PROPERTY IN CANADA? Sure you can ... if you want to be shot to death. A wellness check in Ontario resulted in the Gestapo climbing up several stories to shoot an old man through the window because he was watching TV with a "deadly weapon" in his hand - a remote control. I was the victim of a wellness check. An EMS team showed up with a Gestapo officer and the officer had his hand hovering over his sidearm just aching to shoot me in the face so he could get his two year paid vacation as his reward for keeping the community safe from another old man. Needless to say i did not open the door. The cop was too fat and lazy to climb up to my balcony and shoot me to death. Lucky me.
If the cops is refusing to leave, and there's no grounds for them to be there, then they're committing a crime. They aren't above the law. I'd call 911 and report a person with a gun who's trespassing. 🙂 Always remember that it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 8!
That's good in the sense that you've reported the crime, however all that's going to do is put more cops on your property that won't leave and you really believe they're going to charge each other? You the citizen are still the focus of their attention. That's called escalation.
You said there's not much you can do about it if a cop remains on your property after you've asked them to leave and they don't otherwise have a lawful reason to be there. Can the cop be charged under the Trespass to Property Act (Ontario)??
REPLY: NO, I BELIEVE POLICE HAVE "QUALIFIED IMMUNITY" IF THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB CORRECTLY AND LEGALLY. Trespass to property act is also provincial legislation.
@@mateofernando5066 I'm talking about a situation where they are not doing their job correctly and legally - they have no warrant, no exigent circumstances, and their actions constitute an offense under the trespass to property act. Yes it's provincial, they're not going to prison but an offender can be fined up to $2,000.
@@johnsmith1882-x2i It should be the same idea as if they were conducting a search warrant and went beyond the scope of the warrant. So if they found information on you while they were technically supposed to be gone, then it can probably be thrown out in court. But you still have to bear the burden of fighting them in court.
Are the cops allowed to conduct a routine traffic stop when your vehicle is already parked on your property? A situation happened with a friend of mine years ago where he was driving home, made all his proper stops, followed the speed limit and saw the police and they followed him home. He parked his vehicle and as he was getting out he was ordered by the officer to get back into his vehicle. My friend’s father saw what was occurring and came outside and asked what was going on and he was ordered by the officer to go back inside his house which he did. The officer proceeded to do the traffic stop and ask my friend some questions, didn’t give a ticket or anything and the officer left and my friend went inside his house and continued on with his evening. I know my friend at the time was driving a sports car and he had some modifications done to it. Could that be a reason why the officer pulled him over? To my knowledge my friend was not given any sort of explanation or reason as to why he was pulled over.
Had the cops show up one time, I had no idea it was them knocking. They had to get pretty deep into the property and past alot of other folks to get to me, so I thought it was just a neighbor. Anyways, I wildly swung open the front door like a complete maniac cuz I thought it was a buddy, but instead I got two pikachu face uniforms in front of me, and now Im doing a pikachu face too. Couldnt help it. I said "aw dangit you got me". Totally broke their composure. They were laughing. I was laughing. Even the judge was laughing.
If your budget permits it, install a CCTV camera system with audio. I bought it for security reasons due to crime BUT they come in handy if this were to happen.
YOU CAN SERVE THE COPS WITH TRESPASS NOTICE I served the Peterborough OPP with a trespass notice and warned them that they will be arrested as soon as their foot crosses my line. They have abided by that notice even after being asked by someone to go to my door, they refused to do a wellness check. This trespass notice was instrumental in ending years of police harrassment and fabricated charges
It all depends on the situation. For the most part you may however if someone phone in an fight at your address then NO big time. But knocking on door without warrant then yes
Put a no trespassing sign on your door, once they start harassing tell them to leave politely and close the door, make sure you video the incident and you must abide if they detain you but if they don’t detain you ask them to leave politely. Jic ya didn’t know, it’s not illigal to not open the door.
One day my ex got a call from back home when her grandmother past away and since she was very close to her grandma she was balling her eyes out, 15 minutes later that the 6 cops came pushing through my door and started searching in every room and she kept telling them that she just got a call and that her grandma passed away and she was said about that and made her very emotional. They were asking her are you sure you are not getting beat from you bf and since she did not have a mark on her and she still told them how they feel when their loved ones pass away if they don’t feel bad about it but this is the type of crap you have to deal with the Montreal cops which we also call the pigs since some of them have no idea of what body hygiene is.
Happened to me once. Neighbors called them to report I was "speeding around the neighborhood and driving recklessly". He opened my gate and started walking up the driveway. I met him with a string of profanity that would make a sailor blush and told him to get the F off my property and not to come back. Also about the danger he puts himself in by opening a gate. He had his hands up and slowly backed away as I briskly walked his way while screaming at him. Once past my gate he told me why he was there. Told him to F off and come back with a warrant. He stayed remarkably calm the whole time and I never heard about it again8
You need to familiarize yourself with implied license... they can come to the door, knock if they are trying to speak to you. They have every right to be there, and yelling and screaming like an idiot is probably not the best way to go about it. Simply solved by saying, "I have no idea what you're talking about, thanks for coming."
@iiyyxxnn wouldn't call it lucky. He had no legal right to be on my property after I told him to leave. He knew it. He tried doing the "talk calmly and make a connection" thing to try and press for info because he was just going through his programmed responses. What else could he do? Their training say to not let an aggressive person get close so he had to keep backing off. Also, if I got aggressive with him after he got off my property, he would be in a legally defensible position if it got physical. Knowing how all that stuff is programmed into them gives you a lot of power over the situation
@ryanbrightman2557 you need to go back and read and learn a bit about the laws and their training. If there was no gate, he would be well within his rights to come to the door. A closed and latched gate is legally the same as a door. He can't open the gate without cause anymore than he can walk into my house. I keep the gate closed and latched for just that reason. He knew it, and he knew I knew it. They are also trained to not let an aggressive person get within grabbing distance, so he had no choice but to back off onto public property. If it gets physical there, he can get away with pretty much anything, not so if he is trespassing and been told to leave. It would be a gray area for sure. And I would never touch him anyway, but he doesn't know that. When you know your rights and their training, you have a lot of power to control these situations
(Montréal here) funny thing, I once wanted a police officer to see something in my house, and he was extremely reluctant to come inside, I had to insist…
I am 65 years old and I didn't find it difficult to Not have any issue with the police. i got a few speeding tickets, but otherwise I never found it difficult to stay on right side of the law. It does not take brilliance to accomplish this.
Well.. some time ago, a cop that pushed through me said once you open your door they have the right to budge in. So never unlock and open your door if you see a bunch if them
What about fire department or municipal staff? FD wants yo inspect my duplex rental (fishing) ...I have ignored the notices... I understand that municipal staff can enter whenever they want...is that true? I live in Canada. Love the channel and joined. Cheers
In Canada, do you have to call 911 if someone looks like they might need medical help, whether you live in the same house or see someone on the street who, let's say, is on the ground bleeding.
I worked as a police staff, "civilian", employee for a police service and I really want to add that the "file a complaint" thing is never anything that is swept under the carpet by the internal investigators. Cops get in BIG trouble if they are guilty of unprofessional conduct. Think of it this way: What would you do if you spent 3/4 of your career saving lives, hauling in guilty sex offenders, getting shot at by theives.. etc etc etc and etc.... only to have all your work's reputation tainted by some goof who doesn't obey the law when they are in uniform? It's not fun for either party, believe me.
Do they need a search warrant to do an inspection of safe storage of firearms & accessories & have a proper pal & proper addtess of course not because of any wrong doings just a routine inspection?
You can ASK them to leave no matter what the situation, the difference is depending on the circumstance they don't have leave. You can ask them basically anything you want, asking isn’t a crime, forcing is the crime.
Quick question. How far does the hot pursuit exemption go? If they pursue a subject to our neighborhood and lose track of him, can they enter my home without permission during their door-to-door search simply because our doors weren't locked?
Most cops are Honest that's funny. I was involved in a traffic stop the cop lied three times. I had video that proved he lied , they didn't like that and the prosecutor said he must of confused my stop with another and the Judge let it go. So that goes for Judges too!
When I lived at my parents home I pulled into our driveway and a ghost cop car stopped and the cop said oh you live here then drove away. I always wondered were they going to pull me over and when I got home they couldn't do anything?
I remember hearing about swatting years back and remember one news story about a man coming to his door in the early morning hours from an aggressive swat team. I remembered the police actually damaged his door. They basically forced him to go to his knees and stormed his house and went to his bedrooms where his wife and child were asleep. Apart from being traumatized and having his house vandalized I'm not sure what happened. I remember him wondering who was going to be responsible for repairing his home. I have not heard of the swatting prank in some time so I'm not sure if the police have changed their protocol as the storm trooper response is one wrong reaction from a fatality. Within a short time frame after that news story, I believe that someone actually attempted to do that to me but I only was visited by a single female officer. I was taking a nap at the time and the pounding at the door woke me up. She was angry that I took long to answer and commented that she was about to break door down. She was 5'2 and about 110 pounds soaking wet so I don't know how she was going to pull that off but I taken aback by her sentiments. I stayed calm as I was genuinely discombobulated by her visit. She explained it was some type of emergency call. I cooperated and brought my entire family do the door to show everyone was fine. It was very strange but I wonder what could have happened had I been belligerent when she gave me the attitude.
I think the real question is not "can you ask", but "If I ask them to leave and they refuse, do I have any way to sue/bring charges/penalize the officer in question" ?? Sounds like the answer is 'file a complaint'. Or, 'sue'. Which are either useless or expensive. No surprise in Canada, we really have few rights as citizens.
I thought there was a court ruling that a person could call the police station to verify the identity of a police office before interacting with the officer. Maybe because there was a case of fake police officers at the time. Is that true?
What about if you've been fed medication you're allergic to for a year and you're shouting at your doctor? What about if they send someone else and lie about it, like a relative?
Keep in mind 2 quotes i heard directly from an rcmp officer; "All civilians lie to the police, every time they open their mouths." "The only difference between a civilian and a criminal is I haven't caught the civilian yet." This is what cops are trained to think when they see you. This is how they view every civilian, even members of their own families.
According to Criminal defence lawyer Jim Heller, recently more than half the members of the BC Law Society rejected Resolution 3, an amendment correcting unverified claims of unmarked graves in BC Law Society course materials. Sounds like the Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria school of Law is now the standard for lawyers.
I concur with everything you said regarding the police except your statement at 3:15, "Obviously most police officers are honest [...]" You know as well as I, most lawyers or Ontario paralegals will tell you that statement is far from accurate if they are being forthright and honest...LOL
If you truly think that most police are honest, then I invite you to watch the video of Rebel News reporter David Menzies being arrested, frog-marched down the street, and being body slammed over the hood of a police vehicle for doing his job as a reporter. It was just posted today on YT.
Follow up question, and you may not have a straight answer for this one: The liberal government recently passed a law that allows the police to perform a sobriety test on you up to two hours after you drive. Suppose the cops show up on my doorstep two hours after seeing me drive onto my property? Do I even need to answer my door? Can I tell them to leave?
It's called a Mandatory Breath Demand, and it has to be done roadside when care and control of the conveyance can be proven. Without care and control, there is nothing to be done
@ That’s not what the new law says. It says that they can make a breath demand up to two hours after seeing you drive. My question was if they knock on your door 90 minutes after you stop driving, do you have to answer, and what happens if you don’t?
I had cops called on me for arguing with me neighbor, no charges were filed. They showed up at my door and asked for ID. I said wait a minute so I could go get it. Then they opened my door and started walking around my house. My dog barked at them and started smelling one copper's leg. Then the cop told me to get my dog away from him and had his hand hovering over his gun. I said my dog was just scared, that he didn't need to be an a hole about it, and that he was going to shoot my dog. Then he gave me a hundred dollar fine for insulting an officer in his duties, said he only did it because it was his birthday. This is Quebec police. The worst ones in Canada. Some say in North America. I've had even worse experiences with them, but that's a story for another day.
@@charlybessette9818 you didn't see them handcuff, detain my 61 year old, mentally disabled uncle for the heinous crime of bicycling at night and not understanding the concept of identification? Did you see them fail to create a report to document the interaction so that complaints to the Commissaire à la déontologie policière wouldn't go anywhere? Did you know that police in Quebec don't need to answer questions from the police watchdog and that the majority of them don't answer? You sound like the type of Quebecois who would praise Quebec always. No matter what. That's a huge problem, responsible all overreach occurring in the province.
@@charlybessette9818 "Between June 2022 and the end of May 2023, 100 per cent of police officers from six out of 13 municipal forces involved in BEI investigations refused to answer questions. The municipalities in which police have stopped talking include Longueuil, Laval, Trois-Rivières and Saguenay. For five other police forces, the refusal rate ranged from 50 per cent in three districts to 88 per cent among Montreal officers."
@trevorchabot864 i dont really care much for quebec it was a genuine I never seen any of that, I live south shore of montreal, I am just 23 years old too so not many interactions with them. And I never heard of those investigations do you have a link or something for me to look at that?
I always ask them to speak to me at the curb. This removes any possibility that they "believe" they saw anything illegal in the house. They came barging into a friend of mine's house years ago and the cops said they thought they saw drugs, during the "raid" they found nothing. I always ask nicely for them to go to the curb and I will talk to them. I stand on my property and talk to them while they are on public property.
Ok what about that guy last week who was falsely accused of kidnapping. Where the cops busted into his house, tasered him, held him captive for hours. Didn't charge anyone, but let his unit trashed. Will the police send someone to help him clean up and repair/replace the broken doors?
If you call 9-1-1 from your home..cops can enter your home...I guess it falls under "exigent circumstance"...but if cops just come to your house (without a 9-1-1 call) and say, "can we come in and talk?"...Always say NO.
The few times the cops have been to my door. I don't open it. I leave my back door and meet them at the front and go stand on the road and tell them they are not allowed on my property. Of course they don't like not being able to snoop in my windows and it usually agravates them. I'm a law abiding citizen.
I very much appreciate the advice that is Canada centered but one thing stands out to me here. Why isn't this lawyer telling people to always record your interactions with the police? That is literally the number one rule to keep you safe and should be done at every police interaction if it's at all possible
Well that all sounds like BS to me and doesn't apply in the real world. When I was 19, I had a party, my Uncle called the police to stop the party (he didnt live there). Cops showed up, wouldn't leave, demaded to come in, when I tried to close the door, it was booted open and I was thrown in a cop car.
Similar topic : can you make a video on the concept of claiming sanctuary at a church? Lot of myths and half-truths floating around about this concept.
I think that the "short" answer is No simply because of the three reasons stated which are lawful and most of all *typical*; being 99% of the time. Yes would be for an unscrupulous cop which is a topic unto itself.
A cop pulls onto my driveway. I exit my house and ask if I can help. They say no. I ask what they want. They say they are investigating a theft. I ask if I can help. He says no. I ask him to move his car. He says no I am conducting an investigation. I said I smell smoke,I’m going inside to phone the fire department and I expect your car will NOT impede access for the fire truck. The car left less than 1minute later! BYE!
I like that you acknowledge that, if the cop in question decides to make your life hard and refuses to leave/forces his way in without any sort of exigent circumstance or justification, there's actually NOTHING you can do about it, and the best thing to do is remain polite and keep asking him to leave and don't make him mad...because, you know, he'll probably assault you and arrest you because you didn't let him break the law and invade your property for no reason.

You are the smartest Lawyer to start a channel like this for Canadians to help us out when it comes to dealing with the Police. I've subscribed a while back and I always like your videos. Thank you so much!!
Many cops will say they have an anonymous complaint as a reason for trespassing on your property. How can you make them prove that they in fact have a real bonified complaint which would justify their actions.
All of the information pertaining to the “call” / “incident” is all catalogued which can be accessed through a Freedom of Information request. This would show who the complainant is(not in all cases), a reason for the call and info on the Officers actions/observations. Every incident generates an incident number and is automatically catalogued with all of this info
@@JWorldly13 This exact scenario happened to me approximately two months ago. Still waiting for any response to my ATIP request.
Happened to a good friend of mine recently... Excellent question!
I'm sure they have a way to prevent ATIP requests. Something like giving an excuse that it's an "active investigation". They'll also make up some BS charges against you so you have to spend a fortune on a lawyer. The system is set up in a way to make average people lose or give up. You won't be able to navigate their maze without legal representation. And that all depends on how much money you got. And they know it.
@@JWorldly13that does NOT help at the time of the situation.
hahaha !! I burst out laughing when you said "most are honest". C'mon...we deal with reality, not disney fantasy. I had 5 on my door asking questions, I said I don't answer questions...the they did the ol' "What was your name again ?" crap. I laughed and shut the curtains. They kicked rocks for 10 minutes all confused...... then left.
So true. I've witnessed 5 or 6 instances where the police are openly breaking the law. Then they lie about it.
I had a situation where the OPP from Wiarton, On. broke into my home and beat me for no reason other than they were clueless. This was after I polietly advised them they were not allowed into the home. My wife was terrified of them. After being run through a corrupt court in Owen Sound and found guility because the judge refused to listen, I was found guility. I appealed immediatly. The Appeals Court sided with me and over ruled the Criminal Court saying the cops had no right to enter the property and I had the right to use whatever force deemed necessary to remove the cops from the property. To make matters worse, this resulted from our neighbour kidnapping my daughter. Our justice system has a long way to go before it is just.
how did the neighbor kidnap your kid?
During COVID my friend was on his way to my place, at some point during his driving he went onto the should of the road. he corrected his driving and went about his merry way. After he notices a car following him. He turned off onto a dirt road, car follows him. He texts me this and I tell him to just come over and if the car follows him to my place we'll confront the driver. He pulls onto the yard and the car following him stops at an intersection and just watches us watching him. couple of minutes pass RCMP pull up beside the car and then come onto my yard. This was followed by another 3 RCMP vehicles and a police cruiser from a town 15 minutes from where I live. RCMP approach us asking who driver is of my friends car. He says he's the owner. So the cops accuse him of drinking and driving. Searched his car, did all the test and he's clean as a whistle. I looked at the town cop and say "You sure brought a lot of fire power for this."
turdeaus gestapo brought a whole lot of thugs because they wanted a confrontation so that they could beat ,tase and handcuff this guy and you as an accomplice.
I suspect that a lot of cities have too many police, and need to justify their existence by looking for things to do. So that the police budget keeps going up and up and up.
Castreau's goons at their finest.
@@MB-xe8bbNot in Canada. RCMP are the worst though. Very corrupt as they refuse to wear bodycams whatsoever.
I've told RCMP to leave me alone at home numerous times in different places I have lived at. The real problem is where they insist on the basis of exigent circumstances by claiming a (bogus) phone call about an emergency happening inside of your home. They did this to me a few months ago in the middle of the night and threatened to charge me with obstruction if I refused to open the door. They claimed that "common law" gave them the right to do so. I had little choice but to comply while they pointlessly handcuffed me and raided my closets looking for an alleged mass shooting in my apartment. It was scary and the only thing that really saved me was that I made it clear that I had multiple cameras recording the entire ordeal. They have so far refused to comply with my ATIP on this incident as well. Obviously they were trampling my rights but the reality is that the burden gets placed on you to hire a legal team and fight them in court to get obstruction charges dropped, and they know if you can afford it or not.
If you have no money you have no rights at all, you have a small chance against police corruption if you have a million dollars
That's Canada....

Question...
I was riding my unmodified motorcycle not breaking any traffic laws, and minding my own business.
When for no reason I was stopped by police to pull over to a side street for a motorcycle only sound check on my exhaust.
I felt my rights were violated could I have refused, and taking it to court???
I live in small town BC. There was a female RCMP that was constantly pulling my buddies son over in his jacked up Chevy pickup. During one of those pullovers, he finally asked her why she kept pulling him over... "For your safety." was her reponse. Somehow he got on her wrong side and the harassment ended once she got transferred out of town.
There is another great Canadian law/lawyer channel called Runkle of the Bailey. He covers a lot of pertinent issues. Give him a look. Cheers!
Yes, you must comply.
You have no case. They believed your exhaust was loud and are allowed to check it.

"You have to let them in."
No, you have to not interfere with their search. You don't have to assist them.
For example, you don't have to go unlock your door and show them in, just stay out of the way. They may have to break it down, or get a locksmith and open it, but then they would have no recourse to say that the search was voluntary now, would they? So if it turns out their search warrant was invalid, they have no defense.
When you say "most" cops are honest, I must respectfully disagree. In my own experience, as a peaceful man, I've seen the majority of police officers I've encountered act without regard for rights, often abusing their positions to do so. I've seen unwarranted beatings, lies, false testimony under oath, unprofessional and rude behavior bordering on bullying - I could go on. And I'm not a criminal, simply a spectator caught up in their actions. There's an infestation of corruption and lack of accountability, which in turn undermines the public trust. Until this is addressed, there's no "most" of them being honest. When you're in a gang, you're guilty by association. They are a gang.
I second this. I refuse to believe “most” are good.
We’ve seen the leaked chats. We all know a cop or a friend of a cop that brags or jokes about overstepping.
“Most” are NOT honest. Lies.
absolutely... Most cops are power tripping goofs who do NOT understand or know the Law...yet they call themselves Law Enforcement Officers...hahahaha
Well said. I am an Ontario paralegal, and I agree absolutely.
Id like to believe they are but power corrupts the mind
And a cult.
I just wont answer the door.
Once you answer the door. They will make it very hard for you to close that door.
In BC under the Wildlife Act certain provisions allow access and searches.
A couple of weeks back, the RCMP and the BC Conservation officers raided a home in Richmond, BC. They had the road in front of the house blocked off for a block in each direction and had 4 or 5 vehicles parked out front for several hours. Turns out a few days later they said they were searching for a deer that was taken out of season several hundred miles away. Would be interesting to know where they got their info from...
CAN YOU TELL THE COPS TO GET OFF YOUR PROPERTY IN CANADA?
Sure you can ... if you want to be shot to death. A wellness check in Ontario resulted in the Gestapo climbing up several stories to shoot an old man through the window because he was watching TV with a "deadly weapon" in his hand - a remote control.
I was the victim of a wellness check. An EMS team showed up with a Gestapo officer and the officer had his hand hovering over his sidearm just aching to shoot me in the face so he could get his two year paid vacation as his reward for keeping the community safe from another old man. Needless to say i did not open the door. The cop was too fat and lazy to climb up to my balcony and shoot me to death.
Lucky me.

If the cops is refusing to leave, and there's no grounds for them to be there, then they're committing a crime. They aren't above the law.
I'd call 911 and report a person with a gun who's trespassing. 🙂
Always remember that it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 8!
That's good in the sense that you've reported the crime, however all that's going to do is put more cops on your property that won't leave and you really believe they're going to charge each other? You the citizen are still the focus of their attention. That's called escalation.

If a cop doesn’t want to leave my property they can talk to the door.
a surveyor can also come on your property to take mesures. in front of your house, on your lawn for exemple. I learned that this summer.
You said there's not much you can do about it if a cop remains on your property after you've asked them to leave and they don't otherwise have a lawful reason to be there. Can the cop be charged under the Trespass to Property Act (Ontario)??
Thats an interesting point.
Unlikely. You're better off filing a complaint. They may be charged under the Police Services Act (in Ontario. I'm not sure about other provinces).
REPLY:
NO, I BELIEVE POLICE HAVE "QUALIFIED IMMUNITY" IF THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB CORRECTLY AND LEGALLY.
Trespass to property act is also provincial legislation.
@@mateofernando5066 I'm talking about a situation where they are not doing their job correctly and legally - they have no warrant, no exigent circumstances, and their actions constitute an offense under the trespass to property act. Yes it's provincial, they're not going to prison but an offender can be fined up to $2,000.
@@johnsmith1882-x2i It should be the same idea as if they were conducting a search warrant and went beyond the scope of the warrant. So if they found information on you while they were technically supposed to be gone, then it can probably be thrown out in court. But you still have to bear the burden of fighting them in court.
clear and concise, thanks!
I was wondering about this very thing this week.
Are the cops allowed to conduct a routine traffic stop when your vehicle is already parked on your property?
A situation happened with a friend of mine years ago where he was driving home, made all his proper stops, followed the speed limit and saw the police and they followed him home. He parked his vehicle and as he was getting out he was ordered by the officer to get back into his vehicle. My friend’s father saw what was occurring and came outside and asked what was going on and he was ordered by the officer to go back inside his house which he did. The officer proceeded to do the traffic stop and ask my friend some questions, didn’t give a ticket or anything and the officer left and my friend went inside his house and continued on with his evening.
I know my friend at the time was driving a sports car and he had some modifications done to it. Could that be a reason why the officer pulled him over? To my knowledge my friend was not given any sort of explanation or reason as to why he was pulled over.
If it was seen on the road being driven and by the time the traffic stop was conducted, the vehicle ended up where it did... perfectly legal.
@ryanbrightman2557 also a breathalyzer can be administered a couple hours after you are home. Refuse to open door. Guilty automatically.
Thanks for the info.
Had the cops show up one time, I had no idea it was them knocking. They had to get pretty deep into the property and past alot of other folks to get to me, so I thought it was just a neighbor.
Anyways, I wildly swung open the front door like a complete maniac cuz I thought it was a buddy, but instead I got two pikachu face uniforms in front of me, and now Im doing a pikachu face too.
Couldnt help it. I said "aw dangit you got me".
Totally broke their composure. They were laughing. I was laughing. Even the judge was laughing.
If your budget permits it, install a CCTV camera system with audio. I bought it for security reasons due to crime BUT they come in handy if this were to happen.
YOU CAN SERVE THE COPS WITH TRESPASS NOTICE
I served the Peterborough OPP with a trespass notice and warned them that they will be arrested as soon as their foot crosses my line. They have abided by that notice even after being asked by someone to go to my door, they refused to do a wellness check. This trespass notice was instrumental in ending years of police harrassment and fabricated charges
It all depends on the situation. For the most part you may however if someone phone in an fight at your address then NO big time. But knocking on door without warrant then yes
Thank you
your the best, keep these coming.
Put a no trespassing sign on your door, once they start harassing tell them to leave politely and close the door, make sure you video the incident and you must abide if they detain you but if they don’t detain you ask them to leave politely.
Jic ya didn’t know, it’s not illigal to not open the door.
One day my ex got a call from back home when her grandmother past away and since she was very close to her grandma she was balling her eyes out, 15 minutes later that the 6 cops came pushing through my door and started searching in every room and she kept telling them that she just got a call and that her grandma passed away and she was said about that and made her very emotional. They were asking her are you sure you are not getting beat from you bf and since she did not have a mark on her and she still told them how they feel when their loved ones pass away if they don’t feel bad about it but this is the type of crap you have to deal with the Montreal cops which we also call the pigs since some of them have no idea of what body hygiene is.
Great info. Thanks
I agree. It is distressing that the media only shows negative police interactions which create a bad attitude, on both sides.
FYI- Body-cams are being rolled out across RCMP detachments in the coming months. Another layer of accountability to restore some public credibility
The fact that Canada has waited this long to implement this just shows how corrupt and how little they care about our “rights”
Teachers should be wearing body cam also, to protect them and to protect children at the same time...
I would be very adverse to hiring you because most police officers are not honest. Take a poll and see
yes you can! i've done it!!!
Can you ask a City By-law Officer to leave your property?
Happened to me once. Neighbors called them to report I was "speeding around the neighborhood and driving recklessly". He opened my gate and started walking up the driveway. I met him with a string of profanity that would make a sailor blush and told him to get the F off my property and not to come back. Also about the danger he puts himself in by opening a gate. He had his hands up and slowly backed away as I briskly walked his way while screaming at him. Once past my gate he told me why he was there. Told him to F off and come back with a warrant. He stayed remarkably calm the whole time and I never heard about it again8
Yeah, being a dickhead risks escalating the situation. If the cop feels threatened, you will lose the debate.
You need to familiarize yourself with implied license... they can come to the door, knock if they are trying to speak to you. They have every right to be there, and yelling and screaming like an idiot is probably not the best way to go about it. Simply solved by saying, "I have no idea what you're talking about, thanks for coming."
You got lucky with a good cop
@iiyyxxnn wouldn't call it lucky. He had no legal right to be on my property after I told him to leave. He knew it. He tried doing the "talk calmly and make a connection" thing to try and press for info because he was just going through his programmed responses. What else could he do? Their training say to not let an aggressive person get close so he had to keep backing off. Also, if I got aggressive with him after he got off my property, he would be in a legally defensible position if it got physical. Knowing how all that stuff is programmed into them gives you a lot of power over the situation
@ryanbrightman2557 you need to go back and read and learn a bit about the laws and their training. If there was no gate, he would be well within his rights to come to the door. A closed and latched gate is legally the same as a door. He can't open the gate without cause anymore than he can walk into my house. I keep the gate closed and latched for just that reason. He knew it, and he knew I knew it. They are also trained to not let an aggressive person get within grabbing distance, so he had no choice but to back off onto public property. If it gets physical there, he can get away with pretty much anything, not so if he is trespassing and been told to leave. It would be a gray area for sure. And I would never touch him anyway, but he doesn't know that. When you know your rights and their training, you have a lot of power to control these situations
(Montréal here) funny thing, I once wanted a police officer to see something in my house, and he was extremely reluctant to come inside, I had to insist…
I am 65 years old and I didn't find it difficult to Not have any issue with the police. i got a few speeding tickets, but otherwise I never found it difficult to stay on right side of the law. It does not take brilliance to accomplish this.
It’s more if you’re unlucky enough to get caught in the middle when someone ELSE runs afoul of the Law…
Thank you 🙏🏽
Well.. some time ago, a cop that pushed through me said once you open your door they have the right to budge in. So never unlock and open your door if you see a bunch if them

In Canada, do you have to call 911 if someone looks like they might need medical help, whether you live in the same house or see someone on the street who, let's say, is on the ground bleeding.
always informative
I worked as a police staff, "civilian", employee for a police service and I really want to add that the "file a complaint" thing is never anything that is swept under the carpet by the internal investigators. Cops get in BIG trouble if they are guilty of unprofessional conduct. Think of it this way:
What would you do if you spent 3/4 of your career saving lives, hauling in guilty sex offenders, getting shot at by theives.. etc etc etc and etc.... only to have all your work's reputation tainted by some goof who doesn't obey the law when they are in uniform?
It's not fun for either party, believe me.
Do they need a search warrant to do an inspection of safe storage of firearms & accessories & have a proper pal & proper addtess of course not because of any wrong doings just a routine inspection?
I think you can if you have no trespassing signs up
Best thing is to ignore them. If they have a warrant or are replying to a doxing at your place your screwed anyway.
The problem is that they can just make up that they got a phone call. How can you possibly verify that?
You can ASK them to leave no matter what the situation, the difference is depending on the circumstance they don't have leave. You can ask them basically anything you want, asking isn’t a crime, forcing is the crime.
Quick question. How far does the hot pursuit exemption go? If they pursue a subject to our neighborhood and lose track of him, can they enter my home without permission during their door-to-door search simply because our doors weren't locked?
Where does the law state that you have to be polite?
Most cops are Honest that's funny. I was involved in a traffic stop the cop lied three times. I had video that proved he lied , they didn't like that and the prosecutor said he must of confused my stop with another and the Judge let it go. So that goes for Judges too!
When I lived at my parents home I pulled into our driveway and a ghost cop car stopped and the cop said oh you live here then drove away. I always wondered were they going to pull me over and when I got home they couldn't do anything?
Badass. Thank you sir.
If they refuse to leave call other cops on them....They are trespassing. And always remain silent do not answer their questions.
I remember hearing about swatting years back and remember one news story about a man coming to his door in the early morning hours from an aggressive swat team. I remembered the police actually damaged his door. They basically forced him to go to his knees and stormed his house and went to his bedrooms where his wife and child were asleep. Apart from being traumatized and having his house vandalized I'm not sure what happened. I remember him wondering who was going to be responsible for repairing his home. I have not heard of the swatting prank in some time so I'm not sure if the police have changed their protocol as the storm trooper response is one wrong reaction from a fatality. Within a short time frame after that news story, I believe that someone actually attempted to do that to me but I only was visited by a single female officer. I was taking a nap at the time and the pounding at the door woke me up. She was angry that I took long to answer and commented that she was about to break door down. She was 5'2 and about 110 pounds soaking wet so I don't know how she was going to pull that off but I taken aback by her sentiments. I stayed calm as I was genuinely discombobulated by her visit. She explained it was some type of emergency call. I cooperated and brought my entire family do the door to show everyone was fine. It was very strange but I wonder what could have happened had I been belligerent when she gave me the attitude.
I think the real question is not "can you ask", but "If I ask them to leave and they refuse, do I have any way to sue/bring charges/penalize the officer in question" ??
Sounds like the answer is 'file a complaint'. Or, 'sue'. Which are either useless or expensive. No surprise in Canada, we really have few rights as citizens.
I thought there was a court ruling that a person could call the police station to verify the identity of a police office before interacting with the officer. Maybe because there was a case of fake police officers at the time. Is that true?
You can but I doubt they’ll leave in a rush. The last cop at my door was smoking hot, I didn’t mind her hanging around.
Never open your door. Record everything.
What about if you've been fed medication you're allergic to for a year and you're shouting at your doctor?
What about if they send someone else and lie about it, like a relative?
Keep in mind 2 quotes i heard directly from an rcmp officer;
"All civilians lie to the police, every time they open their mouths."
"The only difference between a civilian and a criminal is I haven't caught the civilian yet."
This is what cops are trained to think when they see you. This is how they view every civilian, even members of their own families.
What about setting up a speed trap on your property so they can be hidden from traffic?
Keep your phone on at all times! Film the police at all time
And what stops cops from lying on these warrants or after they step on your property.
Exigent circumstances; how do you prevent somebody swatting you?
You have your doors and windows fortified so they can not easily kick them in to enter. There are plenty of RUclips videos showing how to do this.
According to Criminal defence lawyer Jim Heller, recently more than half the members of the BC Law Society rejected Resolution 3, an amendment correcting unverified claims of unmarked graves in BC Law Society course materials. Sounds like the Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria school of Law is now the standard for lawyers.
I concur with everything you said regarding the police except your statement at 3:15, "Obviously most police officers are honest [...]" You know as well as I, most lawyers or Ontario paralegals will tell you that statement is far from accurate if they are being forthright and honest...LOL
If you truly think that most police are honest, then I invite you to watch the video of Rebel News reporter David Menzies being arrested, frog-marched down the street, and being body slammed over the hood of a police vehicle for doing his job as a reporter. It was just posted today on YT.
So if you don't give permision and they go ahead anyway, and lets say they find something, what happens at that point?
Follow up question, and you may not have a straight answer for this one:
The liberal government recently passed a law that allows the police to perform a sobriety test on you up to two hours after you drive. Suppose the cops show up on my doorstep two hours after seeing me drive onto my property? Do I even need to answer my door? Can I tell them to leave?
It's called a Mandatory Breath Demand, and it has to be done roadside when care and control of the conveyance can be proven. Without care and control, there is nothing to be done
@ That’s not what the new law says.
It says that they can make a breath demand up to two hours after seeing you drive. My question was if they knock on your door 90 minutes after you stop driving, do you have to answer, and what happens if you don’t?
I had cops called on me for arguing with me neighbor, no charges were filed. They showed up at my door and asked for ID. I said wait a minute so I could go get it. Then they opened my door and started walking around my house. My dog barked at them and started smelling one copper's leg. Then the cop told me to get my dog away from him and had his hand hovering over his gun. I said my dog was just scared, that he didn't need to be an a hole about it, and that he was going to shoot my dog. Then he gave me a hundred dollar fine for insulting an officer in his duties, said he only did it because it was his birthday. This is Quebec police. The worst ones in Canada. Some say in North America. I've had even worse experiences with them, but that's a story for another day.

I always ask them to speak to me at the curb. This removes any possibility that they "believe" they saw anything illegal in the house. They came barging into a friend of mine's house years ago and the cops said they thought they saw drugs, during the "raid" they found nothing. I always ask nicely for them to go to the curb and I will talk to them. I stand on my property and talk to them while they are on public property.
Ok what about that guy last week who was falsely accused of kidnapping. Where the cops busted into his house, tasered him, held him captive for hours. Didn't charge anyone, but let his unit trashed. Will the police send someone to help him clean up and repair/replace the broken doors?

The few times the cops have been to my door. I don't open it. I leave my back door and meet them at the front and go stand on the road and tell them they are not allowed on my property. Of course they don't like not being able to snoop in my windows and it usually agravates them. I'm a law abiding citizen.
If you’re a law abiding citizen, WHY ARE THE COPS AT YOUR DOOR?😂😂 I’m 50 years old and have NEVER had the cops at my door without good reason.
@hobbes7460 it's called life.... Not everyday is the same as the last.
And fake warrants? How can you check?
I very much appreciate the advice that is Canada centered but one thing stands out to me here. Why isn't this lawyer telling people to always record your interactions with the police? That is literally the number one rule to keep you safe and should be done at every police interaction if it's at all possible
Well that all sounds like BS to me and doesn't apply in the real world. When I was 19, I had a party, my Uncle called the police to stop the party (he didnt live there). Cops showed up, wouldn't leave, demaded to come in, when I tried to close the door, it was booted open and I was thrown in a cop car.
I'm surprised Mike didn't tell watchers (us) that you should answer police questions if you have nothing to hide, like he did in a previous video !
Similar topic : can you make a video on the concept of claiming sanctuary at a church? Lot of myths and half-truths floating around about this concept.

Do NOT open the door. Ever.
Can they tell you to turn off your cell phone camera?
A cop pulls onto my driveway. I exit my house and ask if I can help. They say no. I ask what they want. They say they are investigating a theft. I ask if I can help. He says no. I ask him to move his car. He says no I am conducting an investigation. I said I smell smoke,I’m going inside to phone the fire department and I expect your car will NOT impede access for the fire truck. The car left less than 1minute later! BYE!
Sure, you can tell them anything you want.
If the police are on my property without a reason and I ask them to leave, but they do not. Can I have them trespassed?
