What part of “curfew” and “disperse” is not understood?
“this is a thoughful police officer...” Nope. Just a pig.
Heh heh.
In other words, mo matter how big a JBT, thug with a badge, donut munching dog shooting SOB he is...
Do what he says! Do what he says!
What was initially an ever so slow inching along closer to the police state keeps picking up speed and is now lazily galloping along....

“Do what I tell you” Ping
the Library of Congress has its own SWAT team as do 53 different federal agencies.
Too many cops are willing to beat you, taze you, throw you to the ground and even shoot you if you don’t appear to be groveling sufficiently.
I think you should do the opposite of what you are told by this guy.
“you don’t have to submit to an illegal stop or search. You can refuse consent to search your car or home if there’s no warrant.”
These two sentences include so many footnotes and conditions that they are meaningless. Especially about “warrantless searches”, “no knock searches”, “exigency searches”, “anonymous informant” and “secret government surveillance” searches, “dog authorized searches”, and “illegal search but still admissible in court” searches.
You say "I do not consent to a search". Why does that require you to insult or threaten the cop?
I’ve been involved in one police stop in my life.My sister was driving (her car) and her teenage son (a big kid) and I were her passengers.It was Virginia,I-95,broad daylight.I remember reminding my nephew several times as we were slowing down and pulling over...”stay still,stay calm,say nothing unless the cop specifically addresses you,keep your hands in sight at all times”.The stop was fine...state trooper,black,very polite and business-like (as was my sister)...we were on our way in less than 10 minutes.And she was couple of hundred dollars poorer.
So, why isn’t this reasonable advice?
1. Record the interaction. If you aren’t ready to record in your car, that’s your fault.
2. Refuse to consent to unconstitutional searches. Men have fought and died for your rights, don’t consent to give them away. Do it respectfully. You’d be surprised how many of the police RESPECT those who know and exercise their rights.
3. If the officer asks you under threat of physical harm to comply with an order that you believe is illegal, state your protest and COMPLY. You have it recorded. If you don’t get your day in court, you’ll probably get a week on Youtube.
4. Have a lawyer. I can “Okay Google” call with my hands tied up wherever.
If you are talking about a SWAT raid on the wrong house, I’d be in big trouble. Somebody strange busts into my house, it won’t end well for anybody. That said, that’s a pretty unlikely scenario.
I think this guy is talking about day to day interactions. Sure, he should be talking about how POLICE should respect those they are supposed to protect and serve, but I got it. We’re like the taxpayer vs. the IRS now. They don’t want to protect or serve. I’ll continue to vote them out, but I won’t poke them in the eye and expect a hug in return either.
Let's make that rule work both ways. Go perform a physically impossible feat on yourself, or I'll shoot, tase, pepperspray, or beat you to the ground.
Yeah, but if he asks you for ID, just tell him, "It's at yo momma's house." You'll get invited to the White House.
I have been stopped before.
I have found that if you decide to bow up and show the officer what an accomplished sea lawyer you are and how important you are, the officer may choose to show you how impressed with your credentials he really is.
Never upset someone who is in a position of authority. They have the ability to make your life miserable.
If there is a problem, maintain your cool and when it is over, get an attorney.
One thing I have found over my nearly 70 years is that the more guilty a person is, the more they show their backside.
It is better to be quiet and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
This isn’t the way it was not that long ago. This is what happened to police after swat hit every unit in the country.
I hope they know enough to keep Sunil off details like the county fair or high school football games. He is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
What an attitude. If I was his boss and read this I would pull his badge, get him a chill pill and some counseling
