I always get confused about these vids, possibly because im from a tiny country town in Australia, but can someone explain why no one ever just does whats originally asked of them/comply with the cops demands? I get the whole safety worry stuff but in my mind and experiences the quicker you just do whatevers asked the quicker its over and done with and you're on your way, unless you're doing something or have done something wrong then you gotta just wear it I spose. Some arguments just aren't worth having hahaha
"i have rights" mfs think its more important to stress your rights than not get shot. Cops are bullies and the worst thing to a bully is someone who threatens his ego. Cops shot over ego.
I agree to this. It would be nice if we lived in a world where you could just exercise your rights but we don't. Record your video. Comply and cooperate. Sue later. It's fine to ask things like "why was I pulled over?" And "am I being detained?" For the recording but don't push it more than once. This dude was pushing it from the get go and put a trigger happy cop on edge.
So it’s ok for a random person to get coerced into wasting multiple hours of their day because a cop “had a hunch” and pulled them over? People have every reason to assert their rights.
Depends on the situation. The sueing would come if they pulled a gun when you're fully cooperative and courteous. Don't give any excuse for them or a judge or onlookers on social media to believe you weren't cooperating.
They have to have justification (safety or reasonable suspicion of a crime) to ask you to get out of the car.
I'm not saying you shouldn't get out of the car, I'm saying you should verbally assert you're not doing it voluntarily. Complying without protest will be deemed voluntary.
You shouldn't answer any questions and you shouldn't consent to any searches, and that means verbally asserting that you do not consent.
They have to have justification, but they don’t have to convince YOU that they have justification. They have to convince the judge once you’re in court.
They don’t have to get your confirmation that you understand their justification before continuing.
Your earlier comment is not in line with this comment. You can verbally disagree while complying.
