  • yes but what constitutes probable cause is vague and misleading like the lawyer said if a cop just suspects something and suspicion is and opinion so it can't be disproved.

  • @morphyis: The officer still has to articulate facts that a reasonable person would construe as reasonable and articulable suspicion, before the stop.

    FourthAmendment(dot)com has many cases where officers lost in court.

    For example, officers allegedly stopped a car because of a very slightly cracked windshield, but the judge didn't believe them, and suppressed evidence of a gun possessed by a convicted felon.

  • does this work in britain ?

  • The 4 Amendmet wont stop a cop from kicking your ass nor well any other

  • @poliahu43makaio That's why we have the 2nd. Their time is running out.

  • @poliahu43makaio Tell me about it, Thats why they want to get rid of the 2nd.

  • thank you for showing criminal how to avoid a cop, yea a cop is bad until something bad happens to you and you call 911 and they save your ass right.. why not show id if you have nothing to hide?

  • The lawyer was incorrect when he said, "If there's no probable cause then the law enforcement officer does not have the right to stop you."

    The LEO only needs reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal involvement to stop you—Terry v. Ohio (S.Ct); that's a lower standard than probable cause.

    Furthermore, if the state has a stop-and-ID law requiring such suspicion AND the officer has such suspicion, then you CAN be punished for failing to identify yourself. Hiibel v. Nevada (S.Ct.)

  • @joshuaizzle IT`S CALLED THE 4TH AMENDMENT ASSHOLE !!

  • @joshuaizzle yeah that too and end up in their system as your ID gets swiped/noted.

  • The municipal laws apply to us humans the admiral laws apply to business; if you get pulled over and you have no I.D and no insurance,and no license plates,you have NOT broken no municipal law ordinances.If you are a truck driver that is working ON THE JOB and you do get caught in that situation,well guess what buddy?Yeap you sure are going to get ticketed and arrested for violating maritime laws.Why these laws operate in the fashion at which the way they do would be another topic to talk about.

  • @joshuaizzle Nothing to lose except your rights

  • idk about georgia but in texas u sign away your right for probablecause when u get your driver liceanse

  • @larrytoland No you don't

  • @larrytoland: Although all states require drivers to show their license to LEOs on demand, it is nevertheless illegal for LEOs to stop vehicles in the first place unless they have at least reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal activity. And if they do stop you without such suspicion, that is a violation of your constitutional rights so any evidence against you (such as refusing to show your license) cannot be used in a court of law. That may tick a LEO off, but you may get a 1983 suit

  • if you ask him what his probable cause is, does he have to tell you?

  • @LCLREPORT Hey is that Paulie G posing for pics for the Motor home Diaries?

  • BUT anything can be probable cause; the terms are so vague, just refusing to show your ID is and will be deemed as PROBABLE CAUSE!

  • @Vegasgodless Refusing to show your i.d. is not probable cause. Probabable cause means that the cop has to believe that you have commited a crime or are commiting a crime. Refusing to show i.d. is not a crime.

  • @Scootertuner1000 Refusing anything to a pig, can be construed as a probable cause. Because the term is so vague, it has no clear definition of what constitutes a probable cause. A friend of mine, not driving, refused to show his ID, He got thrown in the slammer, I have also been harassed when I denied a cop to search my persona. this is after I showed the fucking pig my ID. He wanted to search my bag as well. He did by force!

  • @Vegasgodless You're right. Of course, when it comes to court it can be thrown out, if you can prove it. That's the caveat though. Unless you have proof, they'll always believe a cop over a civilian. 

  • @Vegasgodless: "Probable cause" means "probable cause of involvement in criminal activity", not "probable cause of unusual activity".

    Exercising one's constitutional rights, in the absence of any other facts indicative of criminal involvement is NEVER probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion.

  • @DavidForthoffer Tell that to the pig, who suspects you in the first place, you've got no rights under their eyes, views, or the streets. The pig is the law, with that they constitute any action as lawful, even if you deem it unconstitutional or not. the pig exercises totalitarian power over you depending on your financial status, they don't give a shit about you, or what rights you may have, if they obviously know that you can't afford to even make a civil case against him/her.

  • @Vegasgodless: Video recordings of abusive police behavior can be a major factor, if the video is preserved. See qik(dot)com. Or audio recordings; see porcupine411(dot)com.

  • @DavidForthoffer Yea, it's getting better with the video cams, however laws will change, and we will have no right to film cops. You'll see.

  • @Vegasgodless: Fortunately, all the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals that have ruled on the issue agree that we have a First Amendment right to videotape government officials (including police officers) engaged in their duties in a public place. So while some states may try to pass laws against that, we at least have the U.S. Constitution and higher courts on our side.

  • @DavidForthoffer Nice, however @ the moment, when in the streets filming the fucking pigs, they will harass you, may even arrest you, or deny the law all together, or the pig may say that you need his permission to record him. Look for a video here on YT.Cop goes crazy after new crew stopped to film an accident on the freeway. It happened in El Paso Texas, I used to live there; anyhow the cop arrests a news person for filming!

  • what happens if you refuse a search of your car and the cops want to get a warrant. Do you have to stay there and wait for them to come with a warrant or will they tow the car to the police station and wait for the warrant there?.....how does that work?

  • @inkey2 A pig can search your car on the spot! if you ask for a warrant, that gives him "probable cause" excluding the right of warrant, your rights are thrown out the window, just cause of "probable cause" If you refuse search, that is "probable cause" if you say your rights are been violated! That is probable cause! THE POINT IS! you HAVE NO RIGHTS!!

  • A cop asking for ID is just a way to contract. If you supply him with such he has contracted you. This has nothing to do with search and siezure as suggested by this attorney. Attorneys belong to the BAR... that is British Accredited Registry. They have a sworn oath to the queen of England (in Canada, US, Australia, etc.). This is just a lie. If there is no breech of the peace the police have no jurisdiction. Learn how to handle in a peaceful manner watch: Ben Lowrey, Dean Clifford, Gordon Hall

  • If you "open carry" a firearm, even in Oregon, Washington or Texas, and you are stopped, you should as a decent citizen give the officer(s) you ID. Common sense would inform this, period.

  • @roldans99 If you open carry in Texas you better be on your own property, at your business or commissioned by the state to carry for duty. Texas is one of the worst states for open carry freedom. You bet you're going to be stopped in Texas - it's against the law.

  • jesus you got a small head!!

  • fucking pigs

  • If you don't have it recorded, *all* cops will make up crap to justify what they did after the fact. "He was acting suspicious" is all they need to claim "probable cause". This standard is so lax, that even if your rights are violated on film, it can be argued that the cop thought it was suspicious behavior, and he'll never be held accountable.

  • Why do cops wear mustaches? To hide their stretch marks.

  • youtube dean clifford, teaching people their laws and rights shifting the power back to the people cop bully and lie b/c nobody knows their rights and how to present them in court. gov under the PEOPLE

  • You picked a shitty lawyer.

  • Hey fucktard, coos do not need probable cause to make a stop, they need reasonable suspicion. You're uneducated and giving peeople BS info.

  • @jaraandrew100 seriously? you're a good little slave aren't you? you, and everyone like you (pussy little bitches) are the reason police do everything wrong in the first place. you consent to everything and give in. you're a fucking child who needs the guidance of the government to survive. you have to understand, not everyone is a willing slave like you.

  • always use full sentences with police ;) so you don't say Yes to something when you're talking about something else.

  • Comment removed

  • the only way youd be able to refuse a search is if they dont tell you what there reason is. but an officer can say any hing-ding reason for probably. it could be they smelled drugs or alcohol. it could be they say the saw a passenger rustling around in the back. it could be anything. there is no way around it. you can give a cop as much crap as you want. it wont work unless he refuses to give a cause.

  • @bakerpd4: The fact that you consented to the search can't be brought up in court... if you don't consent to the search.

  • @Pafoofnik1 youre consent doesnt matter anyways if they have probable cause

  • @bakerpd4: Officers can usually search an automobile without the driver's consent if they have probable cause. However the fact that you refused consent still matters in court.

  • @Pafoofnik1 no it doesnt. they can ALWAYS search if they have probable cause.

  • @bakerpd4: Of course it matters. For example. My lawyer provides evidence that probable cause to search was not present at the time of the search.

    If I refuse consent, then any evidence found during that search can be suppressed.

    If I consented to the search, then any evidence found can be presented.

    I never said they couldn't search without probable cause.

  • @Pafoofnik1 are you dumb. thats what i said in the first place...the only way is if they dont provide a cause. learn to read a comment before replying to it.

  • i dont think is worth the tazing u gonna get if u try it.

  • I'm fairly certain the law has recently changed, and this probable cause is not needed anymore for cops to search your car.

  • @doluseb: I doubt it. The courts have found that probable cause us needed for most vehicle searches. The government rarely, if ever, has the ability to circumvent court rulings on constitutional issues.

  • @joshuaizzle Good point Josh, while we may have "rights", often times the matter can be resolved much easier to just cooporate.

  • damn, talk faster please!

  • how to distinguish bad cops from good cops?

  • 0:24 can you say "His flag should instead read "Donations Needed for Breast Reduction Surgery".

  • Comment removed

  • So if a cop arbitrarily determines that a crime is being committed is he not making a legal determination? And is thus not practicing law without a license? And if not, how is it NOT practicing law without a license when that is the very definition of practicing law without a license? That's exactly what it is. That's how I see it.

  • Than is a good question. I wonder dose a person have to pull over when the cop lights come on ?

  • One certainly is NOT obliged to talk to police AFTER arrest without an attorney. By the same token then, one is most certainly NOT obliged to talk to police BEFORE arrest either. Would this also not apply in a routine traffic stop? You've NOT yet been arrested and pulling over and stopping would imply that you intend on talking to the police, yet at that time you've not been arrested therefore, one is NOT obliged to pull over and stop when someone behind you flips on the gay disco lights.

  • Thank you......"Gay disco lights" LMAO !

  • I have been stopped by police 3 times in San Diego for walking to fast, the reason i was given was because I looked high, I have long legs and I walk fast, I always have.

  • Probable cause...A cop with a gun can make up any kind of bogus "probable cause" for doing so, and you had better comply with ANY "request" he makes...I agree with the guy who says you should carry a camera to protect your rights...

  • Yes I agree as well..the cops can lie and say you were speeding even when you clearly was not...the judge works with the cops and will believe them...COPS MAKE UP PROBABLE CAUSE ALL THE TIME.

  • i was hoping u would ask him this situation "im pulled over for tail gating trying 2 switch lanes on an messed up highway but anyways im pulled over for a traffic violation the cop is a narc officer so he asked to search my car he prides himself with as many clean searches as possibly and pleases his boss all b.s but nothing illegal so i let him. but point bing if u are stop fro a traffic violation is that enough probable cause or does that probable cause have to be related to a crime"?

  • fuck the coppers if they want to talk I will hand them my cellphone so they can talk to my lawyer.

  • probable cause is such a gray word

  • probable cause is suspicion if they suspect somthing they can get you serch ur car or ask for id lots of people dont know that. If i suspect you are driving drunk ur involved in a crime they can ask you for id or lock you up

  • Are you sure about this, because I don't want to be arrested for asking for a "probable cause" when they don't really need to.

  • The police will MAKE UP PROBABLE CAUSE when pulled over just keep in mind that you are not required to talk to the police at all.other than giving them your drivers license.

  • @mstargeted2012 no need for an all caps rage

  • cops lie. other cops back the lies up. carry a cam. have covert cams in your car as well

  • If a cop asks U 4 ID and U run away, THAT IS PROBABLE CAUSE to arrest U. They have the legal right to hold U in jail for up to 72 hours without charging U for "investigative purposes". This is the law of the land.

  • wahhhhhhh police are mean to me wahhhhhhhh

  • yes, if the police ask for you ID you must in the state of MS. if not that is the arrestable offense

  • But the police has to be able to say what the probable cause is, right ?

  • @MizzYungMacMar Yes according to the lawyer, the cop must state what his probable cause is. Or you could just mace a guy in the face out of a sense of entitlement. Their seems to be a disconnect between the law, and law enforcement training. Personally i am willing to show my id to avoid mace,but will not consent to a search, we all have different boundary's.

  • "can i get a bottle of jack daniels?" "ID Please!" "Sure no problem!"

    "im here to check into my flight" "May I see some ID please" "here yah go!"

    "license and registration and proof of insurance please" "I HAVE RIGHTS!!!!!"

  • @emorph the prob is not with asking the driver its with asking the passanger

  • @emorph bottle of jack: probable cause due to age restrictions on purchase of alcohol

    Checking into a flight: probable cause due to potential for terrorist or fugitive to try and board a plane with intent to attack or flea the country

    Asking for ID from a irrelevant source (car passenger) is just moronic.

    illegal immigrants try the "I have rights" or "profiling" bs all the time and the ACLU backs them up. they apparently have more rights and freedom than Americans

  • @emorph do you not know the difference between the private sector and the government?

  • VERY SOON will will have no rights at all and the police will be able to arrest anyone they choose and throw them into a FEMA camp and label them a domestic terrorist

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • ya they just lie about probel cause and then months later in court it will say you gave permission to be serched so it will be your word vs his

  • Be aware they also have the ability to duplicate your VOICE so anytime "THEY" need someone to make a threat it's no problem! (

    This was used as an alienation tool in my case; text messages too were FORGED by "law enforcement" or someone well connected thereto!

  • A passenger pays for a ride, you can have a guest in your automobile. Have people tried to tell the officer that they are not making use of their license. Doctors are not making use of their license when they are eating at taco bell. Why don't any of you ask these lawyers about legal terms like driver v traveler. Automobile v motor vehicle. Traffic v going across town. Quit using the term driving if you ar not doing it. How about faking laryngitis and hand him a note that he can see you writing.

  • It's all fun and games till the cop fabricates "probable cause".

  • @basshoundusa yeah then beats you down afterwards,,your right

  • The real question should be if the road nazi has the authority and jurisdiction to stop you period, unless a crime has been committed, you are endangering others on the road, or the pirate has reason to believe you are driving, (commercial term) for compensation vs traveling in your private use vessel.

  • I can say a camera has saved my rights several times. You should carry one at all times!!

  • @meadowlark52 your correct,it has saved mt rights to,how sad the so called authority needs to see a camera in order to assure you your rights.im in the process of figuring out how to record without holding the camera in there face.

  • @meadowlark52 do camera phones apply without getting shot???;(

  • @meadowlark52 I agree. Dash cam is the best investment ever

  • you should pay closer attention before calling someone a dumbass and making yourself look like one, the attorney did bring up reasonable suspicion, When discussing exigent circumstances.

  • This guy is a dumbass. An officer doesn't need probable cause to stop you, all they need is "reasonable suspicion" (much less of a standard). You might want to interview a lawyer that knows what the hell he is talking about.

  • @DaxSummers234 Let me clarify, the lawyer is a dumbass for saying that the cops need PC to stop you and thats simply not the case. Get a more knowledgable lawyer to answer questions correctly.

  • I just moved out of that shithole Long Beach, Calif...got pulled over by this pig for "tinted windows" and the tint was just a medium darkness....like 90% of the population has. He asked for the ID of the 2 other people in my car...and Im a 50 yr old businessman, white. The other 2 gents with me, same profile. Obviously not up to anything shady at all...this pig was just a fucking asshole. So did he have the right to ask for the ID of my friends?

  • If an officer wants to search your vehicle ALL HE HAS TO SAY IS .......... YO LOOK SUSPICIOUS.

  • what if its a bad neighborhood? or known drug neighborhood, is that reason enough to be stopped or asked for ID?

  • @fudgedogbannana: Is it against the law to be in a bad neighborhood? No. There's your answer.

    Of course the can 'ask' for ID. That doesn't necessarily mean you are required to give it.

  • I have been pulled over by a cop for a traffic violation and say "I smell marijuana" when i rolled down the windows even though I don't smoke marijuana. Which gave him probable cause.

  • ur head doesn't look big enough or something..

  • Nice tits.

  • DON'T TALK TO COPS: It's against you interest.!

  • Let me understand what you are saying . You think you can use this same line of thinking anywhere in the U.S. Is that what you are saying. Don't come to Detroit. The cops here are the best

  • he looks like the shrunken head dude from the movie "Beetlejuice"......hat size = 4

  • ha,a cop can manufacture a probable cause!He'll trick or intimidate you into giving consent to search,they arrest you for making them mad by asking questions.your rights mean nothing until you get in front of the judge,.by then you'll have an arrest record.Whenever they get pissed they'll charge you with anything they want. Best thing is just to ask for a lawyer.

  • QIK

  • Just to clarify, you need REASONABLE SUSPICION to be detained or pulled over. Probable cause grants officers the right to arrest you.

  • This is the whole problem with the law. It is ambiguously written in black and white. The cops can do what ever they want, just depends on how they write the report.  Thats why we need the camera and thats also why they came out with the law that forbids taping without informing the person being tapped...

  • Shit I was 15 on a trip to Mexico wen I was arrested by Mexican police for being a northern Mexican ( Mexican American) then I was released and I had to walk about two miles to my cuzins house through some cartel active territory ........scary ass fuck !!!!

    I could of been killed !!!!!!!

  • ok I need some help on this...me and my friend were driving around smoking weed, he gets pulled over for not having a front licence plate (sitting on his windshield) the cop take him out searches me, yanks me out of the car searches me and takes my weed. any way to get out of my ticket? Im wondering if theres a law saying somthing like he didnt find what he pulled us over for or anything like that

  • he's a koopa from the live action mario movie with bob hoskins and john leguizamo!

  • Also a person is obligated to identify himself, whether by i.d. or verbally only when he is no longer able to freely leave, he must be detained, not necesarrilly under arrest, usually at the reasonable suspicion level all the way to the probable cause level. A person can always deny a search and refuse consent, but if probable cause exists then the search will happen with or without consent.

  • first, I am not from Ohio, but the lawyer was wrong on a couple of things in my opinion and experience. One being that probable cause has to exist, this is not exactly true. Example a driver of a vehicle swerving inside of his own lane can be stopped on "Reasonable Suspicion" even though an actual offense of the law was not broken, but only briefly to determine if the driver is impaired in some way.

  • I stand corrected, cannot find a federal statue, But did locate the the Suprime Court Case, Hiibel V. 6th Judical Court of Nevada that compelling someone to identify themselves is not a violation of their 4th Amendment rights. And as in the Ohio law you still hold your 5th Amendment rights as you cannot be compelled to provide your DOB if this will incriminate yourself. I was wrong, I'm sorry, please do not hold this against me. HA ! Sorry I read so much that it all runs together sometimes.

  • @tsgtammo2: No worries. I think we all learn when someone does research.

  • And if we're betting donuts, I like Jelly. Perfer Raspberry.

  • I will attempt to find the Federal Statute that ORC #2921.29 mirrors.

  • Can't find the Federal Code, The Ohio Code that mirrors it is ORC # 2921.29, "Failure to Disclose Personal Information" This law was enacted in April of 2006. You are correct that the Police must have Reasonable Suspicion, that the person has committed/will commit/witnessed a crime. But it also in subsection C it does compell you to provide your name/dob/address. DOB need not be provided if the officer is investigating a crime that is/could be age related. ie:underage drinking.

  • There is a federal law enacted after 9/11. If you refuse to identify yourself, you can be arrested and detained. If you have nothing to hide whats the issue ?

  • @tsgtammo2 said: "If you refuse to identify yourself, you can be arrested and detained"

    But only if you are being detained under suspicion of criminal activity and if your state has passed enabling legislation. ID can be give verbally.

    Research the Supreme Court case "Hiibel" for more information.

  • @Pafoofnik1 No, as I stated there is a federal law on the books not that you have to identify yourself, not under suspicion of criminal activity. And you are correct in that it can be verbal, but then it has to be verified.

  • @tsgtammo2: OK, I don't believe you.

    Please quote and cite this federal law you say exists; the one that requires me to produce ID on demand and allows an arrest based only on my failure to produce tangible proof of my ID.

    Dollars to donuts says you can't find it, or fins something that doesn't say this at all.

  • Sometimes you can get away easily by cooperating with them even if they do not have any probably cause. I was pulled over in Mass. last year by an undercover cop. He lied to my face telling me that I had gone into the wrong side of the road (not wrong turning lane wrong side of the street) I told him that I never did such a thing and gave him my info. I almost got my whole car searched but didn't because I just went along with it. Funny part is I had marijuana on me and was stoned out of mygourd

  • see, lawyers know the law, and they know what your rights are in a situation with a cop, but that won't prevent the cop from just murdering you right there with his gun. 

  • in the united states of america there is no law requiring persons to carry identification with them although you do need drivers licences to drive

  • I never stopped any vehicles without probable cause and I never asked a consent to search the vehicle without probable cause. However, the court gave an officer lots of freedom on a reasonable probable cause.

  • @MrLoneWolf33 "Depends on what state you live in or county"

    Same in Australia -- its an offence to refuse to provide ID or provide false or misleading ID in Australia

  • Produce your ID smile , say thank you , have a nice day , and continue in your way muttering under your breath "dirty goddam motherfucken son of a cocksucking bitch whore cop cunt .

  • here's the deal... if you have a camera pointed at the officer, you don't have to show ID. if you're alone with just you and the cop... show ID or they will mess your life up. that's the reality these days.

  • Consent to nothing! Advise the police that you do not conscent and are operating under protest and duress

  • So cops can search my car without my consent, or a warrant if i'm pulled over for saying going over the speed limit by 12 mph?

  • plus everyone knows the pigs make it up as they go along

  • I thought the "patriot act" did away with the probable cause thing !

  • In this case it will also determine the state that you are in. In Texas all person in a car must provide ID to the police officer if asked by the cop . Granted the officer does still need PC to stop you. But what ever the reason you where stopped that is his PC and everone in the car must produce ID or they can get arrested and charged with faiure to ID to a Police Officer. Its works the same as the law with the seatbelts..

  • good man

  • Well how in the hell is someone supposed to know what the officer has determined as constituting a probable cause? Also, the lawyer never clarifies whether or not Police are required to provide verbally the probable cause for their arrest or interrogation. We need to know this.

  • That second guy in the bus trio is smokin'.

  • Slightly misrepresented opinion is you don't have the right to refuse if you're involved in a crime, might suggest that if you arent involved you do have the right. It boils down to the officers observations and what a reasable officer would do in a similar situation. If the officer is able to articulate a reason for the stop and probable cause for the search he's in a pretty good position. You don't have the right to refuse regardless. Interesting issue love to debate it... Thanks for the Video

  • The officer has to articulate a reason for the stop... He does not have to produce probable cause for a simple traffic stop. there is a difference to say other wise is not correct.

  • you dont even have to talk

  • too bad probable cause is subjective

  • @wisemanchamp Indeed! And what we really need to know is if the officer is required to provide, indicate or convey his/her probable cause for search, confiscation or arrest to you if you ask or before doing this. The lawyer says "legally he should be giving you the reason." This is quite equivocal. He doesn't clarify this.

  • The video is correct. A state police officer cannot search your car without probable cause. However, a FEDERAL officer can search your vehicle with or without cause.

  • @dciguy01 That, along with other info does work in court, but it depends on the state, area and particular judge. Some judges are more fair than others. More and more the judges are being taught that the people are waking up and learning the law and the real truth of it and are countering it or simply ignoring any jurisdictional arguments and trying the facts of the case anyway which is against the law until jurisdiction has been settled.Just because courts ignore it, it's still CRITICAL to KNOW

  • WE HAVE A CORRUPT POLICE AND COURT SYSTEM TODAY. My uncle was a judge--a conservative constitutionalist judge and now he is dead. About two decades ago he was known as one who ruled by the constitution rather than legislate from the bench. I miss him.

  • Use a microphone when you interview people, not the built-in mic of the camera.

  • Cops rarely enforce the law.. they enforce Polices.. that's why they're called "PolicY(E) officers, because they enforce POLICE-IES..not laws!! They enforce rules and regulations that are really policies operating under Color of law or pretense of law and are NOT in fact laws. NO traffic violations are truly laws because under the Constitution, only if their is an actual injured party is there a broken law. Driving without a license, speeding, running a red light is NOT against the real LAW.

  • @JediWitness yeah, argue that in a court of law and see how far that gets you.

  • You've asked a member of a "society"mr lowe and he goes ahead and mentions statutes/acts as if they hold actual power over the people.All he's done is exactly what we see all members of his "society"(the BAR)judges/lawyers etc etc ))do and that's state that his "societies" rules can be applied to those outside of his "society"

    Differentiate between "driving" and "traveling" -one is earning on the public roads,the other isn't -Licence -no licence.

  • lol. is this a youtube thing? yea... Nice!

  • what if cops do not like your attitude.

  • You don't have to show an ID unless there is probable cause, but you do get to go to jail with lumps on your head and perhaps more if it is Mississippi.

  • And the state where I live, if I video or audio record a cop, no matter the reason, I go to jail for breaking wiretapping laws.

  • The truth is, police think they are the law and don't have to follow it themselves. Suspicion is a vague term that can can be argued. Why do people have to be assholes to execute their rights?

  • @playtime914 Fighting for freedom is not easy man. Being a dick and possibly risking being underarrest I guess is part of it. There are people being shot at by their own police for protesting inhumen conditions. Something like:

    Protestor: I want a better life

    Cop: Fuck you *gunshot*

    Bottom line: It does suck that this is how majority of cops are but none of us make the rules. May sound trite but fight for your rights. If not better for you better for all of us in the end.

  • @mattgoodnuts Name a SINGLE account of this happening? An American officer of the law shooting a citizen for saying "I want a better life" while being a law abiding citizen?

  • @playtime914 well said but that's not what the truth is.. truth is we "allow" them not to follow the law. we give them a "right" that they don't have because we want to be "good shepherds". Lol

  • suspicion is probable cause, if you are suspicious they can search you, and suspicion is hard to define. so if you get stopped just follow directions and dont be an asshole, being a cop is a hard enough job without douchebags making it worse
