all the rights vs. money arguments aside, if you’re trying to hide your weed, don’t bitch when they rind it; you shouldn’t have been smoking it. if you’re caught speeding, there is nothing wrong with admitting you were speeding. having a right is not having a moral obligation to maximize your use of those rights. we all have an obligation to make this lifetime smoother for everybody.

cops are going to do what they’re going to do no matter what. all anybody can do is control how they deal with it. if you want to be angry and upset for days, that’s your choice, but it doesn’t make america any more american and it sure as shit doesn’t get you out of a ticket

All i have to say is fuck the police, except for that one honest to goodness cop that are so rare these days. Ive known a lot of cops in my day who are nothing but corrupt hypocrites who think they can break the law because they are the law. I married into a family of law enforcement who get hammered and act foolish at family gatherings and then DRIVE home endangering the lives of their own families and the families they are sworn to protect. This goes for all traffick violations and even narcotics. Why do u break the law on the weekend then come to work and arrest people for the same shit u did. HOW DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELFS?!! FUCK U POPO!

This is bull shit. By being open and honest and not being a liberal dick, I’ve managed to get out of many tickets. If I had followed this method, I’d have pissed the cop off and gotten a ticket every time. God this is infuriating.

I can’t see the videos but I read this , and I see sum comments where people are all fired up about this ! just calm down. its just simple blog about rights people have in a situation when u are pulled over by the cops, its doesn’t mean it makes it ok for people to violate or break laws . There are many different people including personalities and many different situations , and then you have then stereo types. This blog doesn’t really give out correct information on this topic and it doesn’t explain it well. But in case I have been pulled over before and felt a little nervous specially being young and a little naïve , I got pulled over nov 4 2008 , I wasn’t speeding I was just in traffic waiting for the light to turn green and seconds after the cops pulled me over they had been behind on the left side of me , ofcourse I was coaperative and polite and asked nicely why was I getting pulled over , they asked me for my lics.. And registration I had all my stuff so I couldn’t see what the problem was I wastrying to. call my mom because she was waiting for me but they said I couldn’t use my fone they made me wait for 20 min and came back and said that my car wasn’t showing up as registered , even I though had proof of valid registration of my car , funny thing is that I had just registered my car couple months prior anyway so I still got a citation fix it ticket I did not get off with a warning they told me that I had to check back with the dmv and go to court I called the dmv and they said everything was fine that there wasn’t a problem still went to court and it was dissmised. I missed a whole day of work it was really wack . Another case was with a family member he was a
U.s resident didn’t know much at the time he was walking home from work and 2 cops stoped him asked him for his I. D and handcuffed him told him to wait and they both went to the car with his I.d came mins later and unhandcuffed him told him they made a mistake and he was free to go . They said they confused him with somebody else and one of them said oh its because of your necklace , till this day he’s gotten stoped by them many times and he is always been free to go . I don’t think of all cops the same way but I have seen cops and experienced that attitude when they do try to intimidiate you or when they are on their power trip , there are just situation when you don’t feel as protected as you should be .

…and to add on to my earlier comment, I’m not saying that cooperating with the police will get you tricked and put in handcuffs. I’m saying that police officers are trained psychologically to poke around and ask unnecessary questions that you absolutely do not have to answer, or trick questions that might make you out to be someone you aren’t. Be friendly, respectful and cooperative when dealing with police, but do not lose focus of your rights and be intimidated.

As for the “nothing to hide” argument, heres how I see it. Assuming someone is innocent, it really doesn’t matter if you have nothing to hide or not. It only depends on whether or not you want a stranger with a badge going through your car. Just because someone has nothing to hide does not necessarily mean that its automatically okay for a cop to ravage through your stuff. It all depends on how necessary the search is, and how comfortable you are with that.

If you ARE hiding something, and theres no evidence or probable cause to lead the cop to the search, too bad so sad, the cop will have to find another way to legally prove your possession. Like with a drug dog. And unless you fit the profile of a stoner, have a car full of smoke, or are the target of a most likely bored small-town cop, then the chance of that happening are slim to none.

Alright, a lot of you people are talking trash about this. Saying things like “this video is trash and makes you piss off the cops even more.” or “just be nice and respectful and you’ll get off with a warning.” I’ve been pulled over like the rest of us, I’ve also seen the shady side of the law enforcement sector in our communities. Many of you ignorant people don’t simply understand that police CAN and WILL try to trick naive people into waiving their given rights as a citizen, which all of us should be aware of. These videos help PROTECT you as a citizen, and avoid UNNECESSARY AND INTIMIDATING ATTITUDES that many police officers abuse to get what they want. Lawyers will agree, if police can manipulate people as their job, then by all means we can counter it by knowing our rights and putting it right back in their face.

What type of advice is “Don’t speed” or “Don’t Drink and Drive”??
Everyone speeds @ some time or other…even cops !!! I appreciate the fact that cops are supposed to “protect and serve”….but let’s be realistic and face facts…it all about the $$$$$.
Speeding tickets are great ways for police to generate revenue and make their boss happy with filling their quotas. And DWI even bring in more $$$ for everyone on the dole!
If’s NOT about protecting us ( as they would then not give out a ticket for 5-10 miles over on a empty street)—it about the easy $$$.
I am now older and wiser….and the more I know the less I respect the police and the b.s. system. Wise up and know your rights!!!

I just want to know one thing….Can the police just come to the door of passsenger and driver tell them to put their hands oujt in front of them and then open your door and pull you from the car and pat you down. withouteven asking. Even though he has your registration -insurance-drivers license. And then tell you that your being arrested as they pull you from your car and searched by threeofficers. then they dont pat yoyu down they give you an a-1 search by going through your pockets diguised as a pat down?
