It's just a legal way for law enforcement to steal money. Heard that one court finally ruled that law enforcement had to prove that money they seized in an asset forfeiture case was illegally obtained. If it's true, it's a good start to abolishing the practice of asset forfeiture.

The deputy that wrongly arrested me for DUI DRUGS boasted about his drug detection training.He would probably consider himself a DRE. Fortunately the sheriff expunged my arrest because there was no detectable alcohol or drugs. It was an embarrassing expense that cost money for bail, towing, and cost of an independent blood test which the state crime lab eventually confirmed. Again, the sheriff arranged for me to be reimbursed. All of this because of an ambitious deputy.

I don't know if it even goes that far - the dog's alert is so subtle that officer can claim a hit every time. I would like to see the number of times there is NOT a hit when a dog is called to a detention (not a checkpoint) - I suspect it is close to 0%. The K-9 unit's accuracy is only 60%, I suspect this is a reflection of the officer's accuracy in calling the unit, not the dog's accuracy.

My last traffic stop included passing a cop who was going 30 in a 55. There were 16 cars stacked up behind me because that idiot wouldn't drive (I counted when they passed). When he came up and demanded to know why I thought passing him was acceptable, I pointed out that I waited until the legal passing zone. He asked the same question, I repeated "that's a legal passing zone and you were going 25 below." Then he asked AGAIN, and I said I will not be answering anymore questions. So then he asked if I would answer questions. 🙄 I just stared at him until he went away. Then he came back with my documents and tried to ask me more questions, so I just stared at him, without blinking, until he stomped off again. On the bright side, I made it possible for at least 16 people to get where they were going, on time.

Marco Puente sued the officers in federal court in December, and later reached a $200,000 settlement with the city.

He reported it and had proof to show that the van had been purchased at auction. The department collected the drugs and that was basically the end of it. Turns out they knew the vehicle had drugs hidden in it but due to a clerical error the van was put up for auction and apparently the case involved was dropped because they couldn't locate the evidence. The thought was that the drugs were already removed but somehow disappeared from the evidence lockup.

So i go pick him up and as soon as he gets in the car he tells me he got so lucky because the cop didnt search his car. He had a couple pounds of weed in his trunk and it was just sitting there in the impound. So we get there and he pays for his car, they bring it to the front, and this crazy dude checks his trunk right in front of everyone. The cop is literally standing there with a clipboard watching.

@Nec89

A dog "hit" is essentially pseudoscience because the officer can claim that the dog has alerted to something and its assumed that the officer being held to a higher standard wouldn't lie about it. Generally you aren't allowed to follow the dog as you're being detained and with modern police training everyone is assumed to be a threat. You cant require the officer to do anything they don't want to and failing to follow any direct order can result in a charge for failure to obey a lawful order regardless of any other charge along with it getting dropped. With that being said officers can basically guarantee a hit if you carry cash as about 90% of circulated money is covered in cocaine due to it frequently being transported with the drug and coming into contact with other money that may be tainted. This is why you'll commonly hear drug dogs being called "probable cause on 4 legs" because if they bring a K9 unit on site its basically a guarantee that they're going to search your vehicle.

@@TinCents If you have been pulled over there is an issue or you would not have been pulled over. The question, “What appears to be the problem?” is not admitting to a problem, it’s a question. Also, being friendly and casual as possible and initiating the contact reframes the dynamic, you are not passively waiting, but stepping up in a non-aggressive way. Same with responding to the question by the LEO, “Do you know how fast you were going?” He’s asking hoping you will admit you were going over the speed limit or that you don’t know how fast you were going. Responding with a question to elicit the specific reason for the stop is not admitting any guilt. I had an older state LEO stammer in reply, it puts some off-guard. I jumped straight to 5th once, the LEO frowned, said all right then, turned on her heals walked back to the car wrote ticket for speeding, failure to signal, and non-functional blinker. I was speeding but never changed lanes and blinkers worked. I have done this for the last 30 years maybe 10 or 12 times all for speeding 10 MPH over on highway, so nothing serious. Responding with a question and going back and forth a couple of times until the LEO realizes what you’re doing has resulted the LEO getting annoyed writing a ticket, pushing harder with me stating I believe it’s important to exercise our rights, but mostly getting a little shake of the head and 50/50 coming back with a waring or reasonable ticket. All but one were state highway LEOs and I am a white male so YMMV. Local LEOs seem to be a little touchier to me.

“Dogs can be wrong?” From all I’ve read police dog accuracy is no more accurate than flipping a coin. Each dog-handler team should be tested for recertification every six months to a year. Testing should be double blind to prevent officer or dog reading the examiner as in most cases dogs have been found to signal on cues from their handler rather than upon finding contraband.

In a traffic stop, before a cop arrives, all doors should already be closed and locked and unneeded windows closed. When he arrives, have hands on steering wheel. Request permission in advance for each motion like getting license out of pocket or insurance out of the glove box. SAY NOTHING! RECORD EVERYTHING! ALWAYS respectfully but firmly say, "I do NOT consent to any search of my person or property/auto." >>Also, a cop is aware in advance he must exert his authority and dominance. That may be easily manipulated. It could make him MORE hostile, but he may be reluctant to reverse an order once given. So as soon as you are stopped you could try making some small gestures to prematurely exit your car. He yells, "STAY IN THE VEHICLE!" Naturally, you "apologize profusely" or at least comply by staying IN the vehicle. >>Besides, right off you got him to "flex his authority" and you "submitted". He gets off on that - and he might be unwilling to reverse his previous order. >>If ordered out of the vehicle, secure it: close all windows, lock your door like the others as soon as it is open and put keys IN your pocket.

I truly appreciate lawyers who try to do something for the community, however, most lawyers don't understand that most cops give tickets under the transportation codes of the particular state and the general populace do not operate under commerce. I know that in Texas municipalities are barred from requiring licenses and registration for private vehicle. The general Texas populace is not aware of this fact, and so, when the counties send them registration forms they quickly comply, but I imagine it's the same for all the states because, a private vehicle, is not something the state can regulate unless it is used in a public mode like transporting goods and people for hire. Under the TXDOT, you will find that is clearly stated. If you look at the federal definition for motor vehicle, you will find that it is defined as all manner of conveyance for transporting goods and people for hire. A motor vehicle is not a privately owned automobile. Legal terms have legal consequences.

The issue is that it doesn't matter as its assumed almost any order from a police officer in the field are lawful and that the place to fight this is in a court room and not on site while the officer is giving the order. You can be hit with a failure to obey even if there are no other charge against you or other charges are dropped. Once upon a time this wasn't the case and you could oppose an officer but the case law was eventually overturned in favor for how we currently operate. I cant find the exact case law but the story was that a tribal officer shot another officer who tried to arrest him after being told that he supposedly broke the law. The supreme court sided with the defending officer saying that he was defending himself against the officer who had no authority to arrest and reduced his murder charge down to mansalughter.

So cops don't have to tell you why you're being detained. However, many states have laws requiring ID if you are lawfully detained. To lawfully detain you, the cop must have RAS, enough for a Terry stop/frisk. If they do NOT have RAS, you do not have to ID in any jurisdiction in the US, because, 'murca. And herein lies our issue: I don't have to ID unless I am lawfully detained with RAS, and I choose not to do so. THe cop says he is detaining me and wants ID, but refuses to tell me why. If he has RAS but refuses to say what it is, and I refuse because of that, he can arrest me under Hibel. Under Frazier v. Cupp, the cop can lie to me for 'investigatory purposes.' So if he says "I have RAS, you are detained, show me your ID," I can believe him and provide ID, or think he is lying under Frazier, and risk arrest under Hibel; or, he can get my ID after lying, then say flat out, "I lied," as a video online where the cops told someone they have a search warrant were asked for it *AFTER* they searched and said "I lied, I don't have a warrant." As a person who wants to follow the law and also protect my rights, I find this to be quite the Catch-22.

I've been wondering for a while... Since they don't have to tell you why you're being detained (traffic stop or pedestrian) & you know for a fact that you aren't doing anything illegal, or haven't done anything illegal, etc...so you refuse to ID yourself because you know you haven't done anything illegal, how would this work???? I've been trying to get familiar with ID laws & they need RAS of a crime to legally demand ID (unless you're driving of course.) But if you know you haven't done anything illegal & they won't tell you what their RAS is & they arrest you for refusing to ID, what are the chances of beating that in court??? They oftentimes like to use the obstructing statutes for ID refusals even though that's not obstructing. Here in WV the state Supreme Court ruled that refusing to ID is not obstruction. So it can be confusing since they don't have to tell you why you're being detained. But I'm curious what the chances of beating that in court if you're arrested but you haven't done anything illegal for them to want your ID in the first place... Another thing is, a detention is a seizure under the fourth amendment, so there's that to consider as well. & the 4th amendment includes your ID/license.
@1SCme

Refusal to ID can get more complicated - not only does it vary from between situations and jurisdictions, there are other laws involved. For example, on another channel a man witnessed an accident (wasn't involved) and was asked to provide his ID to officers. He refused and was arrested, not for refusing as part of a detention, but because the local ordinance required it when you witnessed a crime. However, there are some consistencies. Get the officer to define "ID" - if you aren't doing a restricted activity (driving, fishing license, consuming alcohol, etc.) you aren't required to provide a document, only verbal. When the officer asks for ID, ask him "By identification or ID, do you mean my driver's license or similar?" Do this even if you don't have your driver's license on you. Most officers seem fixated on getting your driver's license and will likely respond yes, making their order illegal. With each subsequent request for ID refuse. If the officer changes to requesting identification, state you aren't giving the officer your driver's license, taking it back to the officer's original request. After a brief period, you can accuse the officer of harassment, intimidation, and illegally extending the detention by demanding compliance with an illegal command. Since the officer previously defined it as a document, legally you're fine until the officer specifically redefines ID or identification from a document to verbal. When they go to verbal, you still have some outs. Usually you have to give name, birthdate, and address. If your 1st, middle, and/or last name are interchangeable, then shuffle the order (all 3 of mine are common 1st names). If you go by a different name or nickname, then use it. If the numbers are interchangeable, you can do the same with your birthdate - different applications use a different order - for example, February 4, 2003 could be 02-04-03 or 04-02-03 or 03-02-04. If the officer asks for clarification, nod your head yes and repeat (can later claim you were stretching your neck or twitching). As for your address, you can be excused if you get it wrong under the stress created by the officer during the detention, or using an earlier or work address. With any order, unless you are absolutely certain the order is illegal, state you believe the order is illegal because xyz, but you are only "Complying under duress" because of officer threats to undertake illegal actions if you don't comply. In the case of RS, even if the officer states it, only a court can determine if it is sufficient. Legally "complying under duress" is recognized as a coerced act, not consensual, so the officer's actions and any obtained evidence from your compliance can be challenged in court and possibly dismissed as evidence. In this way, you aren't risking inadvertently committing a crime while exercising your rights, but you are opening avenues for your lawyer to have the evidence discarded later, and/or building support for a possible civil suit.

Police everywhere else use electronic breathalyzer equipment to instantly determine if someone is over the limit with either alcohol or drugs, and it is standard equipment in every police vehicle. Field sobriety tests are unheard of. WHY do police in the US still waste time, and manpower resources on field tests??? They are SO inaccurate, waste time, and many times police are wrong in their assessments. DUI arrests have devastating consequences to people, and unwarranted arrests and legal punishments to people who are falsely accused is just horrible.

I'd roll my window down, and roll it down 100% of the way. It doesn't piss off the cop, and if they are going to test your window tint, your window is down all the way and they cannot do the test. I do not know of any law requiring you to roll your window up to aid in the officers investigation, so roll your window down and leave it down. About the only reason I could think of to only partially roll your window down is if it is really cold outside and you may feel a cold or other sickness coming on and you don't want to get cold and burn extra calories trying to keep warm. Just remember, if you screw up and you force an officer to get out of their warm car to stand in the cold to deal with you, you're already working off your first strike. If you make an officer get out of their comfortable car to stop you in the rain, you're likely going to get a ticket just for that fact alone. I made an exception to that rule. I worked 24 hours straight which was 8 hours driving to the job site, 8 hours working, and 8 hours back home. About 5 minutes from home I was exhausted and driving on autopilot (many years ago) and it was just starting to rain. I habitually leave a TON of safe space between myself and any vehicle in front of me, so when I saw tail lights, I started breaking gently, just as I passed a state trooper. I'd been on the rescue squad there for about 12 years and I was hoping I knew the trooper, but no such luck. What saved me was once he turned on his lights, I stopped rather aggressively and made a point to stop under a bridge so the trooper would not get wet during the traffic stop. The trooper asked why I stopped like that and I explained that it was a cold and rainy night, and I didn't want him to have to stand in the rain during the stop. We talked and discussed my very long day of driving and he asked how far I was from home, so I told him the street and he didn't know it, so I said about 5 minutes. He told me to have a good night and to stay safe. He never mentioned that avoiding a wet stop me from getting a ticket, but I'm sure that once he saw I was not drunk and I had the mental capacity to stop that quickly so he didn't get wet played heavily in my favor. My brother was a Sheriff's Deputy and he told me the three things you will pretty much ALWAYS get a ticket for...making him get out on a really cold night, getting out in the rain, and I still don't recall the third.

@28:00 That whole thing is idiotic, even Andrews suggesting of pulling it up on your cell phone. I would say most of not all of the different LEO departments already run databases.

I think it even shows them a list of usual drivers of the vehicle and if any of them have their license suspended. Showing insurance and registration on your cell phone only prevents you from using your cell phone to video record the traffic stop, which is what one should be doing during ALL traffic stops. LEO already knows if reg and insurance are up to date or not. On the LEOs side, they are way way worried about officer safety right? Well here is an idea, if we get ride of registration cards and insurance cards, since they already have access to that info. Then when they pull over someone, the "suspect" no longer has to start going through the glove box or center console where there might be a weapon.

Therefore any exceptions are illegal as they are in violation of the forth amendment. This is a serious problem we've had with our legislature. They are constantly enacting or attempting to enact laws contrary to the Constitution.

Where the use of public thoroughfares in a private capacity is a protected right and common occupation, and, where a protected right may not be licensed nor permitted nor converted into a privilege, and where a protected right may not be deprived without a court order or exigence ,and, where classification of a vehicle is determined by the use the vehicle is put to, and not by its registration, do officers have a duty to ask if you are traveling in a private capacity or are driving in a commercial capacity? Further, where an officer makes affidavit to a prosecutor that a private traveler has violated a commercial regulation, by not having registration, license, or insurance, has the officer committed perjury or false report to a peace officer, by omission, by misleading the prosecutor to believe the private operator is a commercial driver, to initiate racketeering under color of law against a harmless private citizen?

So what do you respond with when it is clear the cops are engaging in a crime (against you) in holding up evidence in detaining you? (ex. cops in you backyard pointing to an ordinary object a complainer led them to, etc...)

I am not entirely following your example, but in this case "Complying under duress" can be your best friend. Only a court can decide if there was a legitimate basis for RS. "Complying under duress" is legally recognized as coerced, not consensual - you aren't risking committing a crime, but are building a defense by giving your attorney a basis for having evidence not allowed in court, and/or building a civil case. For example, reply "I believe your order is illegal because of xyz, but I am complying under duress because you threatened xyz. If you proceed over my objections, I will file a complaint, and will pursue a civil suit."

@@ACTSRevolution No problem. Biggest problem with a lot of the keyboard lawyer recommendations is they are pushing their personal agenda, following their recommendations could result in you committing a crime while exerting your rights. By "complying under duress" when in doubt, you maintain the protection your rights give you if it goes to court (can become inadmissible evidence) without risking inadvertently breaking the law by refusing a lawful order. I would suggest forming a strategic step by step process on how to handle law enforcement encounters (I think mine is in the upper teens if I listed it). I found the "Audit the Audit" KZitem channel to be a great resource - it started out reviewing 1st amendment auditors videos, but has expanded to a LOT more.

I’m not an attorney, but the reason I don’t like rolling my window all the way down is because I’ve had cops at sobriety checkpoints literally stick the whole head and upper body into my personal space trying to smell my breath and look in my eyes, and it’s FEELS like a violation of my personal space. If you did that to a cop they would have an issue with it, but they can do it to you I guess. I know a sobriety checkpoint is a different situation than a traffic stop, but still. So I roll my window down far enough that they can clearly and easily hear me, but not far enough that they can stick their damn head through it. Also I make sure my other windows are up. It’s another step that you force them to justify in court if it goes that far. If they ask me to roll the window all the way down I would just politely explain that you can see and hear them fine and say “no thank you.” If that leads to them ordering you out of the vehicle then so be it, but you at least forced their hand into taking that step, and possibly give them another opportunity to mess up.

I had to do the field sobriety test one time, didn’t know I could refuse. I had only one drink so I wasn’t too concerned. i also deal in antiques so usually have a good amount of cash. Later on I got jury duty. The prosecutor asked me if I could find someone guilty who failed the test. I told him it was not an easy test, and i would have to know that that person didn’t have an ear ache, tooth ache, mengeres disease, (spelled wrong I know), head ache, diabetic, etc. i listed off a bunch. Needless to say, they did not want me on the jury. Pure honesty got me off the jury. I do my best to not break the law. I have a CWP in Florida, I never drink and drive ever since that night. I don’t really drink often so... I don’t want to give them the slightest idea. I also had roughly $2800, as i had just worked a show, and I’m certainly glad now they didn’t take it. So i guess my question is, why are police who seem to not know the laws, ever challenged ? There is a guy here who carries an AR fishing and is questioned almost every time he goes fishing. Her carries the Florida statute with him for police to read. They always let him go eventually, but they have drawn their weapons on him. I have told the police i am armed and show them my permit. You said don’t mention taser in the glove box. I kinda thought i had to. Luckily it has gone rather uneventful, now I’m wondering ? I realize this is an older video, so perhaps you may never see it ? Just curious of your thoughts ? I like your bow tie too.

I'm a Canadian that travels throughout the U.S. with my RV. I know enough to only carry an amount of cash for emergencies; everything goes on credit cards/debit. I know enough not to block my license plate or any lights by a carrier (of any type) nor by what I'm actually carrying on it. I always have my license on me, the passport is readily available, same with insurance (multiple copies). However, my insurance expires and must be renewed when I can't receive a paper copy and must rely on an electronic one. Most States accept electronic ones these days. If necessary, I'd plead "guilty with an excuse" to have my insurance company email proof of insurance to a judge should the e-copy not be sufficient. Registration has always been paper but good news, bad news; my Province no longer provides plate stickers, no date of expiration on the registration paper, can only be verified by an out of country system specific to my Province; the good news? We no longer need to pay for registration 🙂. I don't do anything to attract the attention of the police but understand that sometimes that won't help. To date, no issues with the Police in any State. BTW, I have experience travelling in the Caribbean countries and Central America/Mexico where corruption isn't even hidden amongst the police and I don't speak their language in many cases. You Americans need to complain to your Senators/Congress reps to change not only how Civil Asset Forfeiture is applied but also change where legitimate seizures send the money OR that you won't vote for them. Tell all your friends to do the same. Some States have banned this practice but it's also on the Federal level too. Essentially, you/your money is guilty until proven innocent. To prove innocence involves hiring a lawyer to even get some of it back (rarely all of it). Legalized theft is what it is. Carrying money from State to State or within a State has never been illegal. How Civil Asset Forfeiture got so corrupted in the first place is disgusting. Oh, and those drug dogs have brothers and sisters that detect money if you try to hide it in your vehicle. Cheers, Steve

I have a question you've likely never heard before but I personally have had experience of. What is the modern day interpretation of The United States policy of No Habeas Corpus, illegal arrest and detention of an innocent person without cause other than someone paying the sheriff's office $60 to swear out a warrant for criminal offenses (e.g. trespassing at your legal established residence and assault 4th for pushing your way past being trapped between an open car door, the car itself, and a drunk belligerent person that is barring the only path of egress. This behavior being a trigger for me from past traumas caused by this person I started having a panic attack so I escaped using one arm held Infront of me as a bumper to keep the two of us separated while moving along the side of the vehicle towards the rear and away from both the vehicle and the berating person. The latter incident being on video recorded by my home security system), and the Writ of Habeas Corpus being invoked at the detention center after arriving and being completely ignored. I actually don't think, I actually know, they had no clue what Habeas Corpus was, what was supposed to happen after someone invokes a Writ of Habeas Corpus by KRS statute, and I felt completely disenfranchised without a shred of agency as they blew it off as crazy talk and giberish of some drug addled felon (no offence felons but we all know how you are treated). What can be done (besides the disrespect which is not of much import, as I lost nearly everything I owned because of this event and others that stem from it. Is there any precedent for the use of this arcane law or is it no longer possible for an innocent person to have a judge immediately intervene on their behalf to establish if their arrest and detainment are unwarranted and the cause meritless‽ Has the whole world gone mad, or are people regarded as to stupid to be regarded and recognized as having unalienable rights‽ Your knowledge in this matter is greatly appreciated.
