Watch this video as a man, Andre Stockett, defends his rights at a routine traffic stop and police try everything they can to make him yield, even threatening to take their 2 week old baby to Child Protective Services, because he refused to show his ID.
Yes, this man could have shown his ID and perhaps avoided all the hooplah, but one should never be scared or to defend their rights, especially if they feel they might subject themselves to more of the same abuse if they do.
The incident happened in Sandusky, Ohio.
The pigs are really pushing their authority. We are becoming a pig state, I mean a police state.
FYI: true the passenger is not required to ID himself and the only way an officer can search your car is (1) you let him, (2) with a warrant, (3) Probable Cause, (4) after the driver is arrested for other cause ie. warrant, DUI etc., but the search is limited. Futher more, the officer DOES NOT need your permission the use a dog OUTSIDE your car. If the dog does “hit/ alert ” on your car that is PC to order all occupants out of the car AND search it. Furthermore, on a “traffic stop” an officer can order ALL occupants out of a car. Yes, know the law, research Search and Seizure law, and stand up for your rights. When you don’t know these things and cuss the officer, you may end up in jail. The man may have had a issue with the things the officer was saying, but when the citizen didn’t comply with the law and cussed the officer he placed himself in jeopardy. You can stand up for your rights without placing yourself in jeopardy, and be polite, even if the officer is being an *hole. If he makes an illegal search it doesn’t matter what he finds, your lawyer will have it thrown out as “inadmissible evidence”. In the end, you will probably have a good complaint to file on the officer and maybe a good law suit. If your rights were violated bad enough possible criminal charges and/or Federal civil rights violation(s).
These cops need to be sued personally. …after a few judgements are levied against them as individuals the word will get around. .when judgements are paid by cities it does not curtail the personal behavior of the individual officer. ..if a few of them lose their jobs, cars, and homes, then the rest will take notice. ..
Soon police will be Federal , Snipers are Federal police ,
It’s all about the power of the police. They can do anything when they stop u, know your rights.
Hope this guy sues….
and its said that we have rights who said police state
The police MUST be sued personally IF the actions were illegal then you have them violating constitutional rights.remain strong
Yes do it..
American police = The modern Mexican Federali !
A lot of them need a good spanking !!!
