LA COUNTY SHERIFF ARREST - Part 1

[bglk102]

he sounds like a white man lol

[nycresistance]

@bglk102 White men aren't the only educated people on this planet. He sounds like an intelligent human being that has been of victim of racist bigots that believe just because he is black he should talk and act a certain way.

[greenmachine911]

This crack head does not know his "case law" in fact if you know anything about crack heads he fits the bill.

[mattsfame562]

the way you look ,,, id pull you over too ...

[Moralvorstellung28]

Shutup negro. Just answer the police questions without all the nigger attitude will be better off for you. Your loud, hostile voice, coupled with your crack head looking hair will get your ass thrown to the ground in record time. Who cares if the cop asked if you were on probation. Just answer the question without the lip.

[vidal77boxing]

@Moralvorstellung28 Good response nazi pig.

[free40yess]

U speak very well!

[tdcloki]

This is America not Russia.... All you fuckers defending the cops sound like racist bigots. If this happened to you guys I'm sure you would have a different view. btw I am white and do not like ghetto trash either but I hate cops even more.

[Myke3295]

This guy sound like Dave Chapelle When he Is trying to sound white

[LASDXVPRV]

Damn this crack head is an idiot. Look up 11550(A)HS and his photo will appear.

[Greenmarine6]

Cops are trained in medical and phycolgical aid. So yes he can do that. If you looked past your own nose you would know this.

Cut your hair libtard

[Greenmarine6]

Oh I'm sure you did nothing wrong. First off, out at 3 in the morning, it's obvious you are looking for trouble, you found it. When the officer asked you how many probies you have, if you would of said none they would of asked for your lisence then they would check you out and let you go. OH no you're to good for that aren't you? How many drug dealers and pimps are out that late....ALL OF THEM YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!! You look like a Pimp to me at first glance.

[JacksonHoliman]

@Greenmarine6

You sound like a dumbass to me at first read.

[libertarianjury]

I assume you've been voting libertarian, since you seem to want less government, right? I assume you're familiar with Marc Stevens, and Harry Browne, right? Welcome to the American police state, the grotesque reflection of the ignorant and cowardly electorate.

[pj8guy]

It's cause your black... did you sue them?

[lpi223]

I believe u have Ur case law misunderstood. If he stops u from freedom of movement it does not mean Ur under arrest. It means Ur being detain. But he does need PC to have u detain which I didn't hear u say why he stopped u.

[DavidForthoffer]

@lpi223: Police do not need probable cause to detain a person. Reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal activity is enough to detain a person a few minutes while the officer asks a few questions. But as I understand Edward Lawson's history, he was often detained far longer, and sometimes jailed for not proving his identity.

[dieselweasel69]

Sir, you need to drive around problem areas, with your nice cars, and dress as u are in this vid. But now have some hidden cameras in your car to show the masses the extent of the profiling and lying they do. I'm not saying set them up. They will set themselfs up. Most officers act like they are the law and not upholding laws put forth by their peers. I would love to see some of those videos go viral. Not to educate the public, but to educate law enforcement.

[XJ12lover]

there's something wrong with all of the cops in LA, it's like they missed a few weeks of the academy.

[PiercingKnight]

Looks like they pulled you over without probable cause. Did you file a civil lawsuit?

[DavidForthoffer]

Note that in California, you do NOT have to produce an identification card even if arrested. You can just give them your right thumbprint. See California Penal Code 835.5.

[ladymob05]

Scape goating on (for the most part) innocent citizens is not a character any person, especially a law enforcement officer, should possess. Those officers volunteered to do their job, which includes a lawful duty to serve and protect. It, however, does not include the right to target, criticize, patronize, and scape goat on people "just because they had a bad day at work."

[455059]

the western type of democracy is not perfect, and there is always a 'price' to pay, but until someone comes up with a better system, it will do me. freedom without responsibilty is Anarchy, and merely complaining is not enough, We live in turbulent times, and one method to divide a society is, make on section of it a target.

[EdLawsonTV]

America has a fine system - Declaration of Independence - U.S. Constitution - Bill of Rights. Citizens can work to secure the Blessing of Liberty by their willingness to participate. This guy Edward Lawson works to honor the rights of all American citizens. Good for him. He has done way more than complain. In 1983 he took a civil rights case on his own to the U.S. Supreme Court -- and won!

[EdLawsonTV]

The United States of America - To secure the Blessing of Liberty for ourselves and our posterity. Our liberties here are being thwarted day by day. Any moment that a citizen can take a step to honor Liberty he ought to do it.

[EdLawsonTV]

Is that okay with you? In America citizens have a number of civil rights as governed by the U.S. Constitution.

[EdLawsonTV]

The Sheriff's conduct in this instance is unlawful. Listen to the rest of the video. A Field Test is not objective. A cop stops a guy. Gives him some field test. None of it is recorded. The cop says - whoops - no reason to have stopped this guy. I better charge him with something. Arrested. Jailed. Let go. Guy goes to court. The District Atty. does not show up. No charges filed. Just a Sheriff Deputy harassing another citizen for no cause.

[EdLawsonTV]

This guy in the video is also not a fan of a prior California I.D. law. It took this guy 8 years in California and Federal Court. In 1983 he won in the U.S. Supreme Court. The California I.D. Law was declared unconstitutional. This guy won the right for U.S. citizens to be free from being stopped while walking and being asked for I.D. by cops.

[DavidForthoffer]

The Supreme Court decision (658 F.2d 1362) struck down an old version of California Penal Code 647(e) (not to be confused with CPC 647e).

That old PC 647(e) was replaced by one that basically said that if a person was loitering in a manner that a reasonable person would conclude was suspicious of criminal activity then the person must identify himself if asked (as opposed to producing an identification card).

But PC 647(e) has changed again! Now it concerns "lodging" without permission.

[EdLawsonTV]

Do you know the code number for the new one?

[DavidForthoffer]

There is no new law for that.

See Senate Bill 425, which seems to have recently done into effect.

[DavidForthoffer]

@EdLawsonTV: I checked the Bill that removed the original PC 647(e). That bill just removed the section, and reordered the subsequent sections. So the new PC 647(e) is the old PC 647(f). (I had told Ed this 2 years ago in a private message. This posting is just for the record.)

[EdLawsonTV]

What? Please explain. There ought to be probable cause to pull a guy over in America.
