Caught On Tape: What Happens When You Try To Exercise Your Constitutional Rights In Illinois

What follows is the most powerful recorded police checkpoint scene I have witnessed since posting: Extremely Powerful Video – Happy 4th of July from a Police State Checkpoint, last summer.

While the former incident happened in Tennessee, the following occurred in Illinois. The American pleb who was accosted by Illinois State Police was DeKalb resident Ryan Scott.

While it starts off slow, make sure you watch it all the way to the end.

While one of the the police officers is reasonable, the other one can’t stop yelling and seems to derive a particular pleasure from repeatedly informing the citizen he supposed to “protect and serve” that “driving is not a right, it’s a privilege.”

See for yourself:

Awesome.

The cop just couldn’t stand a citizen standing up for his rights.

That’s the sort of cop that needs to be booted from the force before he injures an innocent motorist with his roid rage.

Cops are not getting better, they’re getting more and more like the SA. As the government gets worse, the muscle of the government, the cops, keep pace. I no longer give cops the benefit of the doubt. I simply assume they are no more trustworthy, honest or honorable than any other element of the bureaucracy.

Classic case of a cop losing control in a fit of ‘roid rage. IL State Nazi’s are the worst.

I’m 3 minutes in, when does it start?

Couldn’t people edit the parts where they are just sitting there?

As I heard it he was in queue at the start of the tape. He had yet to be approach by any cops but had simply followed signs into the queue. I’m certain he anticipated some resistance by the nazis so he started the tape for protection.

And yes, I used the term “nazi” in a considered fashion; the second cop qualifies easily.

Muir_Redwoods...concur 100% with your approach. Interactions with police are becoming increasingly adversarial in my experience.
It is *RARE* that I am pleased to see a police officer nearby as "protect and serve" is a notion of a bygone area.
Years ago, one did not encounter the steroided-up, shaved head, angry, and tactically-outfitted officers that are quite commonplace today.

The officers of my youth were nice guys who lived in town.
They were friendly, courteous, decent, and completely approachable.
This radical change in unnerving, uncomfortable, and undesired. They certainly lost the ability to differentiate the "good guys" from the "bad guys" along the way.

He can expect a visit from SWAT one of these fine 2 AMs.

There was a clip posted a few months back which was more entertaining. Longer discussion about rights and what the cops were doing Can’t remember if it was a man or woman.

This one didn’t get my attention. The cop about popped a jugular but they didn’t engage in much discussion.
