Red and your Rights

I was pulled over and cited for making a right hand turn at a red light.

There is audio for the first half of the stop, and I did get video on the second half.

There is no way we can vote to have these rules that are forced upon us changed. I suggest everyone videotape any time they are in contact with a government agent. The objective is not to answer their questions. People need to start asking some of their own. The objective is to show the forced used against innocent people. To put someone in jail who has not harmed anyone else is immoral. Traffic citations are one of the many tools the government uses to keep populations under control. Not that anyone would want things out of control. The questions is what exactly are they controlling? Or is it who? Fines rise, more laws, more fines, more police. Is this the future your building for your children? Allowing big business to grow and keep the little guy out by masking regulations as necessary safety precautions. Unless we do something it will progress until uncontrollable.

Was there anyone else in the car?

@Myrtone No

I have heard that right on red was legal in all 50 states. I don't understand why you were pulled over... what am I missing here?

[tuzzz1]

@1GodOnlyOne It's legal, but you must stop before you turn. This was his issue. I was paying attention and not in danger of harming anyone. I made a *brief* stop and had time to turn before traffic continued. You can always turn right on a red after stopping and unless otherwise posted as no turn on red.

I dont want to be a jerk towards anyone but the cop is right. You do have to make a complete stop at a red light. Then make the right hand turn after it is clear. Kinda like a stop sign. And im not in New Hamphire or nowhere near New Hampshire.

@tuzzz1 That's dissapointing, most cars can carry four or five people.

They could just over look everytime someone performs the same traffic violation you did and I guarantee the number of traffic accidents would increase. The cop stopped you and was overly polite with someone who didn't deserve it. There should be laws accommodating the tasing and imprisonment of people like you who want to "keep them in check" by being an uncooperative bag of douche. Just do what the hell they ask and grow up.

dude you were being an asshole. i know the rights you have when being pulled over but this guy was just doing his job. dont start talking to him with an attitude

good for you man!!....more people need to be like this, toomany pushovers out there

[tuzzz1]

@tuzzz1 ... and that seems to be the real problem. Let's say that is what happened and you saw the story on the news. Cop cracks mans head open for not cooperating. Most people these days seem to act as if someone doesn't do or say what the cops tell them to do they deserve whatever the cops want to do to them. Everyone is full of fear, when we should be proud free people.
