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.
I have no problem showing my I’d to the cops. If you have nothing to hide there should be a problem. The same people whining about this topic would be the first to grip if it was a convict that they let go without checking. Grow up these officers put their lives on the line everyday to protect us. This is just an example of a cop doing his job and another person defining the law because of the race. Not every cop is racist.
Wait I got a great idea. Let’s let people from the middle east and Africa in without checking their identification or reason for being here. How about letting thousands of South Americans cross our boarders without any restrictions. That’s worked so well for us in the past. Wait maybe we should stop asking for id when people try to get a loan or cash a check. That sounds like a great idea too. Wake up people we are under threat of attack everyday by our own citizens and people abroad. Our cops are our first line of defense. Do think the arm is gonna show up at your door when someone decides to spray it with a machine gun. I think not.
As far as I can tell, based upon my experience as a former police officer and possessing a degree in Criminal Justice, there was little wrong in the conduct of the police officers’ except perhaps in “entertaining” the suspect for a longer period of time than they normally would. I suspect, however, they did that primarily due to the fact that there was a two week child in the car along with the suspect’s wife. All of that aside, perhaps the real solution to the many critics complaints about the perceived “police state” and “gestapo tactics” we allegedly experience in today’s America, coupled with a general hatred for cops, I suggest we try this. Let’s get rid of ALL law enforcement in AMERICA, local, county, state, FBI, DEA, federal Marshals, etc. and see how you perennial complainers would like to live in a society devoid of cops. Let’s see what would happen then! Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters? Or, maybe you’ll personally handle the rapists, murders, thieves and robbers that will invade your homes, property and persons, eh? Or, better yet, how about stopping your bitching and become a cop and find out just what the hell the job is all about? No, huh, that would be too big a step and too much responsibility to handle. Are you the somebody who watches CSI, NCIS, and every other alphabet cop show who has some 10-cent opinion on how it’s SUPPOSE to be in the real world of law enforcement? Until you’ve driven a patrol car on graveyard or walked a beat for a number of years, I suggest you get your facts straight and not voice your opinions based on some 3-6 minute cell phone video!!!
Amen Bob Patterson. So easy to criticize when their not in the cops shoes.
Bob. You are so far off its pathetic. These officers crossed several lines and if you were in fact a Cop at one time you would know that. PROTECT AND DEFEND. Cops are not suppose to be Military. YOU MUST HAVE PROBABLE CAUSE. A headlight out does not even give the officer the right to even talk to the passenger. So I say your full of c**p and talk out your butt. Every inch the public gives the Police take a foot.
Police are using force when they should not because they can
This is all non fiction and nonsense
So tired of these niggers always videoing and putting up a fight just cooperate and be on your way let the cops do their jobs!
This white woman thinks this black family was guilty of driving black!!!!!!!!!! THESE COPS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES & THEY SHOULD BE SUSPENDED FOR THEIR ACTIONS!!!!!!!!! By the way, THIS TOWN SHOULD “NOT” BE PUNISHED BY A RIOTING & LOOTING MASS OF OUTRAGED PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! But they will be: Sharpton; Jackson; Obama; Holder; Rangle & other’s of their ilk will see to it!!!!! JUST LIKE NOT ALLLLLL BLACK PEOPLE ARE GANG BANGERS…NOT ALLLLL WHITE PEOPLE ARE BIGOTS; unfortunately, I feel there is a bigger breach between the races than we had in the 60’s & it breaks my heart. It seems like our country is splitting into segments & I feel the PC Police are to blame: in they act like Hitler did when he put the blame for Germany’s problems on the Jews…”This directed hate gave Hitler control of Germany & where he lead them was into Hell”!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF AMERICAN’S SPEND ALLLLLLL THEIR TIME DISTRUSTING EACH OTHER WE WILL DESTROY OUR NATION: GET A GRIP OUT THERE & QUITE LUMPING PEOPLE INTO STEREOTYPICAL GROUPS: OUR CONSTITUTION SAYS THAT NO MATTER OUR RACE, CREED OR COLOR…WE ARE AMERICAN’S!!!!!!!!!!!
if one gets pulled over for whatever reason then it is normal protocol to show the drivers liscense it’s been that way forever but they can’t just walk up to you and ask you for it or an ID
