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:

His gun is all he has left to hold.

Skip to 3:35 or so — before that he is just waiting.

Good for him for standing up for his rights — but next time lock your door, buddy!

The cop was in violation of the 4th Amendment when he opened the door — I would have gotten the cop’s badge # and formally reported him.

He can and should submit this video since it should not be hard to identify Officer Ahole.

Obama promised a civilian force as powerful as the Military. He has now armored-up the union-member, steroid-poisoned cops and he has his domestic enforcement tools to quell dissent and control the masses.

The Bundy ranch fight scared them. They need to be scared sh!tless more often.

Someone a lot more technologically proficient than I am could make a lot of money with this idea.

I want a digital camera and microphone that I can clip to the visor on my car. It should be simple to activate with a voice command (e.g., “camera on”). When activated it should stream video and audio via bluetooth or wifi to my cell phone. My cell phone will automatically stream it to an online cloud account.

I am pretty sure it could be put together fairly cheaply with existing hardware. It really is just a matter of writing the software to tie it all together.

If everyone had one, it would discourage a lot of these incidents from ever taking place. The police regularly record us with dash-cams and body-cams. I want to have the same ability to record them.

Standby for the boot lickers to lecture us on how/why this is all OK and why we should be cowards just like them.

He can’t access your home or car without a warrant or permission. Supremes said so.
