Dealing with cops, understanding your rights,.... by a cop.

reply to post by indigodonkey


There certainly are give aways in how people act. One thing that disturbs me with this current generation is their ability to lie and stick with it without batting an eye. They have no conscience and have known very little consequences for their actions since they were children, scary.

I completely agree with you. A good honest cop has nothing to hide. If this law is passed I can't see myself enforcing it. Record away man.

Again, someone who knows the truth. I sign all my documents "With explicit reservation of all my rights and without prejudice per U.C.C. 1-308". That protects the sovereignty of the human being and NOT the "person". Big difference and if the cop doesn't know it, they better learn it fast. Again, file a Tort claim against the officer and the city, sue the pants off them to stop this crap.

An automobile is a household good and can not be taxed by the state or city.

“The Supreme Court, in Arthur v. Morgan, 112 U.S. 495, 5 S.Ct. 241, 28 L.Ed. 825, held
that carriages were properly classified as household effects, and we see no reason that
automobiles should not be similarly disposed of.” Hillhouse v United States, 152 F. 163,
164 (2nd Cir. 1907).


“A soldier's personal automobile is part of his ``household goods[.]'' U.S. v Bomar,
C.A.5(Tex.), 8 F.3d 226, 235” 19A Words and Phrases - Permanent Edition (West)
pocket part 94.

These cases have NEVER been overturned nor successfully argued against. Learn the truth.

"A vehicle not used for commercial activity is a "consumer goods", . . . it is NOT a
type of vehicle required to be registered and "use tax" paid of which the tab is
evidence of receipt of the tax." Bank of Boston vs Jones, 4 UCC Rep. Serv. 1021, 236
A2d 484, UCC PP 9-109.14.


"Thus self-driven vehicles are classified according to the use to which they are put
rather than according to the means by which they are propelled." Ex Parte Hoffert,
148 NW 20.

What else can be said, this PROVES beyond a shadow of doubt that the real truth is hidden from us through Constructive fraud.

Through stealthy encroachment, and we the people not paying attention, we have lost sight of what is important....OUR freedoms and natural, inalienable rights.

For one, resisting is not a felony. Two, I hope no one takes your advise about deadly force, you are going to get someone killed. I can't say what I am thinking because I will get snipped by a mod. Maybe you can read between the lines.

Way to paint a generation with a broad brush there. There were politicians way before this generation, so I think that proves that this isn't a recent problem.

Point taken. This thread is full of generalities. I can't say that my opinion is not jaded, of course it is. Thanks for pointing that out for me.

Prisoners don't have the "privilege" to travel

This is a good thread. We received good input from police officers, legal musings from the crowd, and a good exchange. I think it goes without saying that for the most part, police officers are doing their best. Don't forget, they are people too and in every circumstance, cut them some slack and give them respect. Follow the good points listed in this thread and exercise respect, regardless if you agree with it or not and even if you plan to exercise the legalities later on.

I see many state and community functionaries as victims in the corrupt system. It isn't easy to learn about what has been done to America and often, with the exception of a few, there aren't too many that can speak coherently about the topic.

The battle is not at the interface of the Person/Officer, which, if fought there, I would tend to think the Person would most often be subordinated. I would take the battle to the court. Just my advice. Not to mention, think of the system we are currently living in ... the PTB do a good job of keeping everyone in fear and hyping up the drama within control state (i.e. in the police) and for those to be controlled. It's their game.

recording police from your private vehicle, your private property, is your business, and is your right, any thing they say or do can be used against them in FEDERAL COURT.

you have the right to defend yourself from all physical abuse by law enforcement, and should use deadly force if necessary

1. I am recorded anyway my cruiser has cameras and 2 mics...it doesn't bother me I get some funny videos at the end of the day.

2. This is the absolute worst advice I have heard in my life, do you want to get people killed? USE DEADLY FORCE?!? On Police?!?

Very good point and well said. To me, officer decretion kicks in after the law has been broken. In other words, if I stop you on probable cause, lets say speeding, then the law has been broken. It is at this point, according to the severity of the infraction, where my discretion kicks in. Seeashrink

What is discretion to you is often plain old bigotry and corruption for many cops.

If it's another cop, they're not going to get a ticket. A minority in an all white neighborhood often gets the ticket.
If a law is important enough to enforce for people you don't like - it's important enough to enforce for people you do like.

what happened to you to become anti authority?

reply to post by Daughter2


you remind me of the guys I have stopped doing over 100 mph hour and I get accused of racial profiling.
go out one day on a ride along with a police department where they can run radar and you pick the race of people driving by at over 40-60mph. i could care less about what color someone is, all I care about is the person who will kill someones family by driving so reckless. people who committ offenses, get convicted of them, and then blame someone else for their actions take no responsibility.

Although I appreciate your response regarding comfort, I was hoping to delve more into the mentality of which the more militant appearance is just a symptom. Police now are more oriented towards intimidation in appearance and often attitude. Less of a public servant more like a controller of society through intimidation.

But be warned, a warriors stuff is not warn on his body it resides in his heart. You go around looking and acting like a warrior you better be prepared for war, because there are a lot of warriors out there and they don't have to visually distinguish themselves.

Tactical bloused boots and a tac vest suggest preparation for battle. You cant go to the job place everyday asking for a battle and then be surprised when it does finally come.

Thanks to the op,

All the cops all arnt out to get you, as long as your polite and treat them with respect they should be more forgiving and understanding. In the end there just trying to do there job
It helps not to try to take them on and speak back or try to prove them wrong, they will almost always win that argument, just be honest and calm...It goes a long way and works both ways

for those of you not aware, the trooper in this video was terminated for this stop. to make a long story short
he agitated the guy when he stopped him, walked back to his car, turned the video camera on and here is what you see. he was being investigated by IA for being verbally abusive and wanted to prove his innocence.

i am former LEO and this is sad and give us a bad name.

You remind me of the cops that thought they could pull me over, and learned otherwise when I hit the throttle. Since I figured out the secret to not getting pulled over, and having some crazy cop point a gun at my face, I wish I knew that secret when I was younger. Ride a powerful motorcycle, and know the area you are riding on. Just don't crash, or you are road pizza.

On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."

PREAMBLE

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

i will tell you from first hand experience we get these alot. when a description goes out on someone whether its over the phone, MDT, dispatcher or face to face, it changes. its not anyones fault really.

here is a scenario I encountered.

930 at night and we received a call that there were shots fired at a CVS and it was involving a hispanic male, wearing dark clothing and a red wool cap. that is all we had, this call came in from a person driving by. it turns out 10 minutes later the person we were looking for was a white male wearing grey sweatpants and a blu jacket driving a silver pick up truck. you have to remember the information changes so rapidly.

do you think the officer just picked you at random because he was bored? not at all.
he probably was going on the information he had at the time which probably changed to someone else. you also may have been standing next to the guy at one point when he committed the theft and the camera shows you next to him. i would probably talk to you to,

can someone on here tell me about this homemade drivers license that I saw on here. i have never heard of this before. i dont believe it and i know for a fact it does not exist in Virginia but I wanted to read more about it

Let me add. When I was part of Blackwater and we hit the streets of New Orleans we did so in 511 tac pants, company polos, tac vests, bloused boots, m4's, 9mm (drop leg) and Oakleys - cant forget the oakleys.

Our purpose was to restore peace and whether it was said or not - through intimidation.

The local police took up this same mentality and appearance, but you know what, when it was all over and the smoke settled and everyone returned home and life got back to normal in New Orleans, the police presence and appearance remained the same.

You put a picture of Barney Fife next to a picture of a cop in new york (wearing all black) carrying and m-16 and you tell me what has changed.

Probable argument - the world is a more dangerous place and we have updated accordingly to match it, but what you are missing is that you are scaring the very people you are supposedly protecting.

Everyone always wants to act immediately after a major event but they never consider the consequences down the road. "Lets do something NOW! Even if its wrong".

Basic animal mentality. If an animal is scared of its master until finally its finds itself so terrified its cowering in a corner the only option left for that animal is to attack its master. Little things matter, Little things add up. Little things become big things.
