Well folks there seems to be a lot of stupid people in this world and frankly the if any thing dwarwin was correct in "survival of the fittest" or in this case survival of the smart people.

So here are some basic things that all people need to know and should know about dealing with the police that continue to either remain stupid or ignorant.

The police cannot stop you because they want to. Teri v Ohio and other SCOTUS rulings have confirmed this. Cops must have reasonable articulate suspicion of a crime.
THis means if a cop wants to detain you they must be able to articulate why. Please check your local state laws regarding if you live in a stop and ID state most people do not but
there are a few of them.

So unless they can articulate something beyond (suspicion) (suspicion is not a crime people) then they have 0 right to detain you.

If by chance they do have a reasonable suspicion then please follow the guide below.

1. YOu have a right to not answer their questions.
2. You do not have a right to resist or run away.
3. If the cops are there for an actual investigation or because you were pulled over in a traffic stop. simply give them what they want and go on your way.

This business of not listening to lawful orders
resisting arrest fighting with cops will either
land you up in jail, shot, tasered, or killed.

This has been a public service announcement to the morons of this country that do not understand basic things.

Actually, those "morons" do understand basic things.

The problem is that since the 1960s, certain folks have gotten away with defiance in every other sector of life so that they think that they are untouchable.

In school, for example, certain folks have been defiant toward teachers and are never punished.

So when they come across a cop, they think that they can ignore cops the way they ignore teachers.

And truth be told, when de facto President Harris takes over next year, they WILL be able to ignore cops the way they already ignore their parents, their teachers, their managers at work, et al.

The bad guys have won! (That's why some cops are quitting. Ordinary liberals are going to regret what they have been wishing for.)

Evidently they don't.

You’re kidding right? Harris was a frigging prosecutor, DA and the California AG for chrissake. One of the knocks on her was that she put too many black people in jail.

If you think she’s gonna be soft on crime just because she’s female, black and a Democrat you are deluded.

No intelligent person would be disrespectful to someone who has a gun. No matter how pissed off you are at being stopped, be polite.

If it's a minor traffic violation they might even let you off if you're nice.

No one had to teach me this, it is perfectly obvious.

In theory. Reality works differently. Police are given enormous latitude to decide what constitutes reasonable suspicion.

Simple example. You swerve to avoid a pothole and the officer stops you. He claims a reasonable suspicion that you are DUI because you drove erratically.

That btw the happened to me. My response to the cop when he told me why he pulled me over was a incredulous stare and the statement “I was avoiding the pothole that you apparently hit.”

So in truth Terry isn’t much of a shield as long as judges by default take the cops word.

I am hoping that you right.

Hope is the only thing that we will have when the BLM- and ANTIFA-supporting Democrats take over the Executive & Legislative branches in a few months.

You right wingers live and are pulled over in lala land.

Cops can pull you over for no reason. They simply make one up.
Cops can call it anything they want. I have been pulled over on an INVENTED LAW.
If you refuse to answer the cops, they WILL use that to persecute you.
If you refuse to allow them to search your home or vehicle, they will use that to persecute you.
The reason you dont have an inkling what it is like to be LIVING WHILE not white, it is because you are white DUH.
 
Ooo oo, I know!



Step 1: be white.

This is not altogether an incorrect point...

While the cops can decide to go ahead and search you, your home or your car without your permission the fact that you objected and didn’t give them permission MAY offer some protection if they find anything. So it pays to never agree to a search.
