DWI Checkpoint pt2 - officer doesn't respect right to silence

[skysky9898]

Nice to see you stood up for yourself. I wonder what would of happen if you were Latino or Afro American. Lol. I'm thinking the worst outcome.

[greggh]

@MKrip808 The audio is hard to hear at the end. At 3:30 does the officer say the following:

"We're at a DWI checkpoint, and when I ask you if you've been drinking, you don't want to answer me, we can arrest you for a crime."

Did the officer just say you can be arrested for the sole reason that you exercised your constitutional 5th amendment right to remain silent?

If that's what he said, then I would disagree with you're description of this as a minor experience. This is horrendous.

[smokemadbuds991]

should have just went with it.... not answering if you had any drinks is asking for trouble dude.... just because you have the right to not answer questions doesnt mean you have to practice that right....

[toolmkr1]

It's sad that the police have more respect and protection from the police man's bill of rights than the average citizen has from the US Bill of Rights.

[kabol69]

cops here are SUCH dicks. fucking awful cops in jeff city suck

[1s1t1e1v1e1]

If they had those checkpoints here in Washington, every bar I know would go belly up!

[makarimiam]

haha , he looks so f'ed up

[makarimiam]

@jlyon366 if you were drunk they'd take your license for a year as well. think about it. refusing to breathlyze really isnt a bad deal.

[MKrip808]

@2jzgteSupraJZA80 actually, my recording here wasn't a felony in Missouri.

[bkershaccount]

@MKrip808 not felony under wire tapping law to record them in public bc there is no assumption of privacy...it is illegal to record on private property, and they can take your video as evidence. also, you don't have to take any test or breathalizer, but if you decline to take the breathalizer, you lose your liscense for a year. if you get a dui or they take ur license. go to dmv as soon as can and get new one. you still won't be able to drive but will have id to save many future headaches.

[MoejoTheGreat]

@2jzgteSupraJZA80 You can record anyone in a public place, without their consent or knowledge. Unless you are in a restroom or your own home you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

[toolmkr1]

@MoejoTheGreat Not any more. States are passing laws making it illegal to photograph or record government officials In my state we still have one party consent but I'm sure that will change..

[MoejoTheGreat]

@toolmkr1 You would think those laws would be automatically invalid, as they are in violation of the 1st amendment. Then you have the whole checkpoint thing which is a violation of the 4th. They are pissing on the constitution every day now. 

[ohannahdad]

@toolmkr1 Government officials & LEO(s) work for us!! We are the people! Since when does your employee tell you that you can NOT have a record of his/her actions?? This is the tail wagging the dog; is it not?? It defies logic to hire somebody to work for you, and then YOU offer THEM blind obedience to their every commsnd. They should fear us;..we should not fear them!!

[Screwlwork]

@2jzgteSupraJZA80 Wow, you have no idea how far our Constituion has been walked on. Go to law school, you'll break down in tears once you realize what the federal government is capable of. The 14th amendment was the end of your pleas for the 4th, and oh whats that you say 5th? have fun explaining due process

[maldo72]

so what happen ????

[MrLibHater]

A crime requires a victim !!!!

[dvsbmx]

@MrLibHater The victim is the state in any criminal case...

[SoulShepherd84]

These cops forgot what it means to protect freedom and defend the constitution. There is a reason why people loathe cops...

[Kindostix]

@WStar4Life

You didn't enlist to defend shit.  You enlisted for the same reason the rest of the baby killers did, either school money or no other life options.

Fuck you and the rest of the soldiers for making me less safe everyday by. It's blowback that causes terrorism and cowards like you that cause the blowback by mindlessly following the whims of politicians.

[dakotajoman]

To the police, how do you expect the citizens of this country to respect the police when there are so many instances of brutality? Clean up your act. We should not fear the police. Get your shit together........

[assman255]

fuck the cops

[paulosantos0922]

@BigSmartArmed

How can I reply to a reply so ridiculous? I may not be an Internet Cop, but I do play one in real life.

[WStar4Life]

Paulosantos is right. If u woulda answered a couple questions u would still have ur pistol. Also u might wanna know ur rights idiot. If ur at a DWI checkpoint and he asks u if u had any drinks and u say u don't have to answer any questions he has all the probable cause he needs idiot

[watch2112]

@WStar4Life Both you and Paulosantos are dangerously ignorant of the law. No one is required to say anything to police in order to establish his innocence, i.e., the responsibility for the establishment of probable cause falls squarely upon the police, and must be supported by observable facts. Choosing to remain silent provides no such evidence. If you can't grasp such concepts you are either uneducated or of low intelligence.

[watch2112]

@WStar4Life Try to pay attention. They gave it back to him.

[ckelley63]

@WStar4Life You need to go study up on your rights as a US citizen, beacuse if that's your belief I have some ocean front property in Arizona I'd like to sell you!!!!

@WStar4Life “The claim and exercise of a constitutional Right cannot be converted into a crime.” --- United States Supreme Court, Miller vs. U.S., 230 F. 486, 489

[paulosantos0922]

You got what you deserved. Next time just co-operate. If you don't agree with DWI Checkpoints, address it with the lawmakers, not the law enforcers. Cops don't make the laws.

[BigSmartArmed]

@paulosantos0922

I am the internet police - you are obligated to comply with my commands.

What is you name? What is your address? Have you been visiting any child porn sites? What is your credit card number? Where are you currently and where are you headed? For what business? What are the names of your family members? Have you abused any of your family members? Why are you refusing to cooperate and refusing to answer a simple question to why you like child porn so much?

OBEY!!!

[watch2112]

@paulosantos0922 You're absolutely right. Cops don't make the laws, however, they are supposed to respect them.

[NukeMarine]

Should have locked your door.

See watch?v=IIupHbRTpb8 for a tutorial!

Nice try, though...
