I have seen hundreds of cops using “Officer Safety” as justification for a Terry frisk when they can articulate suspicions of a crime or that they may be armed, they use a general suspicion like it dark, it’s a high crime area or we had Burglaries in the area, or “We got a call” many cops say they just do it to everyone “because I want to go home tonight”

You're completely right. I also think they do this because there aren't any consequences. So what if they illegally frisk someone? It's not like anything will happen to them. Zero accountability. So why not do it. The fact is most people allow it without a fuss and the select few who don't consent, cops don't care and search anyway. Chances are the people can't afford an attorney or a lawsuit. Even if they did, it probably wouldn't go to trial. The worst that will come from it is a complaint against the officer that will get washed under the rug.

Please address the implications of the Terry-frisk doctrine on the _ridiculous_ practice of disarming legally armed (CCW or permitless carry) motorists or passengers without RAS of a _crime_ - rather, only of a traffic infraction or other non-criminal violation (vehicular or pedestrian stop). A _lawfully_ armed detainee or passenger is _not_ necessarily “dangerous.” If that were true, all carriers of weapons, to include LEOs and MIL, would be considered “dangerous” while lawfully performing duties armed.

My detention was followed by #2 a female officer taking me from the kitchen to the bedroom alone closing the door and claiming she had to " Pat me down" and despite having watched me put my bra on, I was in the asleep when they got there. She was so extremely inappropriate with my chest area , hands under my shirt and bra feeling me all over that my immediate horrified thought was no way is she doing that in my pants so I pulled my leggings and undergarments down to my knees and said there's no weapons here as I did a quick 360 she STILL made me take off my leggings and proceeded to jam her fingers and my undergarments as far up my vagina as she possibly could as I was frozen in absolute shock and horror. Many years ago I was raped and I have been having terrible flashbacks etc ever since. I have also talked to multiple women she has done this to.

All three tiny little phrases that officers use to manipulate the system and legal jargon that turns a law avoiding citizen into a criminal. Example is the "pain Tisch fixture" this can be easily abused! Did your average citizen know an officer can't manipulate an object, no! If they did, is there anything that can do it an officer does, no! When you go to court price it, the officers bodycsm is pointed at your chest, not where they are feeling. Now it's your word against the officer and who is the judge (government) belive you or the officer (government)? If you want to gain more respect by The People, take down your desecrated American Flag in your background. You can support the police, but be more creative and create your own flag.

The same state trooper had arrested me a few months before for a misdemeanor weed possession charge. There were no weapons involved so he had no prior experience of seeing me with any kind of weapon. They also searched everything I had, took everything out of all my pockets.

Great question. First of all, you definitely need to be familiar with your state laws. Some state's may not allow handcuffing under their state constitutional framework. When looking at a federal analysis, we look at cases like Dickerson and even Terry. There is a fine line between arrest and investigatory detention, the courts warn about this. But we typically see in Terry frisk cases that if an officer can articulate facts that would lead a reasonable officer to believe that a suspect is armed and dangerous and the officer is doing a brief limited pat down for weapons prior to conducting the investigation, the courts have held those to be reasonable under the 4th Amendment. There was somewhat recently a 2nd circuit case that discussed the fine line between investigatory detention and de facto arrest that might provide some clarity, the case is United States v. Bekim Fiseku. Thanks again for the really good questions, I hope this helps.

Great questions. First, because the officer is operating under an exception to the warrant requirement, the burden of proof is on the state to prove that the officer knew it was drugs upon plain touch without manipulation. Secondly, if the officer knows it's contraband upon plain touch the officer can retrieve it, without that recognition and absent another warrant exception, any orders to remove anything from the pocket would be plainly in violation of the 4th Amendment.

AFAIK, being armed, or superficial indications of being armed per se, may not an indicator of criminal activity. Because in general, (with some specific exceptions) it is lawful to be armed. Per scotus - when the second amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the constitution presumptively protect that conduct. Logic dictates that no reasonable suspicion can be invoked for merely bearing an arm.

Torres v. Madrid expanded on the definition of a seizure. Any application of physical force by police with intent to stop that person is a seizure even if they get away.

A tip from a reliable confidential informant would be a factor in establishing both. Excellent question, thank you for watching and commenting. I really appreciate the engagement.

The same is true with investigatory detention. Even if no crime is found or there are innocent explanations for the conduct, as long as reasonable articulable suspicion of criminal activity exists, the detention is lawful.

Great question, generally speaking, if it's a hard object and big enough to be a weapon you can retrieve it under the Terry doctrine.

Of course, you will have to be able to articulate why you knew it was a meth pipe on plain touch. Hope this helps.

Here’s my question: when I conduct a traffic stop for DWI, I’m going to be doing field sobriety, which means spending a lot of time with this person where I’m not looking at their hands. Because of how many people are armed (legally), I’ve been taught to frisk and remove any weapons from a driver before field sobriety. From a purely legal standpoint, should the person decline to be frisked, would I have the right to do so anyway? I’m in Missouri if it matters. About to go watch your other videos, thanks for making them.

Best practice is ask for consent and if declined then be able to articulate reasonable suspicion they are armed. Hope this helps.

A cop's reason is "Officer Safety". Cops do not care about the law or civil rights and they will break or violate them all day long. Unless you have thousands of dollars to spend on attorneys, you have absolutely no rights. In a truly "Free" society, Federal 1983 lawsuits would be "free' to the victims, and the federal government would pay for all expenses. The people should not have to file pro se because we cannot afford or find a lawyer; just to be railroaded, lowballed and retaliated against. Our federal government has in fact failed the people right from the start and did just the opposite... they came up with Qualified Immunity. We need a new amendment added to the Constitution called "The Woodchipper". The Woodchipper would abolish all types of immunity at every level. A special division of court systems that only deals with constitutional violations would be set up in every state. Constitutional violations would have no statute of limitations. Mandatory minimum criminal charges established for all civil right violations and monetary compensation for the victims would be established. Insurance would be required for all government officials and would pay for all settlements and awards. The Woodchipper would also require that if convicted, the criminal would never be allowed to hold a government position again, the first time. This would make the Constitution the first thing that government officials think about... instead of the last thing they care about. Sure, 99% of police and government officials would instantly quit, but we do not need people like that to begin with. Government officials can do their jobs without violating rights. This country spends more money on federal lawsuits than on national defense, or at least a close second. Why not cut that in half and spend it on actual freedom? At least if they quit, we do not have to pay them unemployment insurance benefits.

Not tactical attorney, tactical tyrant is more likely.You can’t sit there and tell me you have defended officers who hadn’t committed crimes or violations. If you say no, GOD SO HELP YOU, WHEN YOU GET TO THOSE PEARLY GATES. IF GOD EVEN ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE IT THERE. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Do police have the right to stop me on a public street , walking to the park to fly my drone, (which is in a non see thru, black in color ,case ) ? Its summer, school is out for summer, daylight: early afternoon. I have also a ccw , and am carrying, and have wallet in rear left pocket, opposite side of the hand carrying the drone case.

And, do they have a right to order me to open the case to prove what was told to them verbally? That in fact ,it was a drone inside the case.

All I got out of this video was you teaching cops how to violate peoples rights. Terry stops are unconstitutional, I don't care what mental gymnastics you want to use to justify them.

Those that do, risk civil liability and criminal prosecution. Thankfully, the overwhelming majority of officers that I have worked with embrace constitutional policing and are willing to work diligently towards lawful enforcement.

Oh God this frisk should be illegal. It just encourages the cops to lie about the frisk. If you say or due something they don't likeThey yank you out of the car put you in cuffs bend you over the hood of their car and dig through your pockets.
